"In the story, the king is undoubtedly a bad man, but also a powerful man, who rules a country and can decide the life and death of others with a single word. And for such a powerful and dangerous being, when he announced that he needed to marry a wife, there were so many people applying in the first place, and that was the most interesting thing about me......"

Summer Night paused, spooned a piece of crispy fish and poured it down her throat.

After swallowing the fish with the soup in it, she continued: "What do they think? Could it be that the glory and wealth after becoming the queen blinded them? To take the initiative to approach such a powerful and unpredictable being? Don't say that the king is cruel by nature, even if he is a person with no malicious intentions, because of his great power, it is also possible that for various inexplicable reasons, the people around him will be decapitated. ”

"Well...... Lillian understood what Summer Night meant, she thought for a moment, and then asked, "But Sanruzod didn't die, not only did he not die, but he also succeeded in reforming the king." ”

"That's right." Summer Night nodded her neck, "But the reason why this is not because she is kind enough, but because she has strong enough intelligence." Strength does not necessarily mean strength in force or power, but also in possession of superior intelligence. Therefore, unlike the others who were executed by the king, she was a powerful person, an equal in strength to the king. That's why she was able to protect herself from being killed, and eventually grew old with the king. ”

“……”

Lilian didn't continue to ask questions, she was silent for a long time, and suddenly raised her head, her big blue eyes staring at Summer Night: "Sure enough...... Sister Summer Night has already guessed something, right? ”

"It's just a little bit of speculation." Xia Ye said calmly: "Since you first learned that I am a traveling witch, your attitude towards me has changed like a different person, and it has become very ...... Excited. And it's definitely not just out of respect for the Traveling Witch, so I'm guessing that the Traveling Witch must have some special meaning to you, right? ”

"Sister Summer Night is really sharp." Lillian smiled sheepishly.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Actually, I am the descendant of a traveling witch. ”

Summer Night nodded her neck and motioned for her to continue.

"According to my mother, she laid my egg in the Aetheric Sea. After laying the egg, she continued her journey with the egg, and soon after arrived at Debussota.

"She stayed in the city for a while, and when I came out, she continued to support me for another two years......"

According to the common sense she had learned from Lillian, as well as Summer Night's own estimates, she knew that when the witch broke out of her shell, her physical and mental age was about the same as that of a human child of two or three years old.

In the following period, witches will grow at an astonishing rate, and in the two years after the shell is broken, they will grow into girls equivalent to twelve years old in humans.

After that, the growth rate of the witches will slow down significantly until they completely stagnate, and their appearance will not change in the slightest for the rest of their long life. As a result, most witches appear to be younger than their actual age.

"Was that your happiest time?" Based on his past experience as a human, Summer Night speculated.

Unexpectedly, Lillian shook her head.

"Actually, I didn't feel much about those two years." "My mother was always busy and didn't spend much time at home every day," she said. Aside from giving me plenty of magic to replenish, enough to eat, and dozens of outfits to choose from, she barely bothered me with anything else. ”

"Then would you hate her?"

"Of course not!" Lillian shook her head vigorously, "Actually, I'm ...... I worship her and think she must be very powerful, so I need to deal with so many things every day and see so many people. Later, when I heard people call her 'Traveling Witch', and seeing that everyone respected her, this feeling of adoration became even stronger. ”

"And then?"

"Later...... When I was two years old, she suddenly handed me several contracts saying that she had bought a few houses in the middle and lower suburbs, which would be enough to support me for the rest of my life. At that time, I immediately understood what she meant, and I asked, 'Is Mother leaving me?' She nodded calmly.

"'I'm a traveling witch,' she says, 'you can't stay in one place forever. In fact, Debussota is already the city I've stayed in for the longest time, and the reason for this is because I need to wait for you to grow up. ’

"'Can Mother, then, take me with you?' At that time, I asked again. But the other party simply refused: 'You are too weak, and it seems that you have no talent at the moment.' If I take you with me, not only will you be killed by the dangers of the Aether Sea at any time, but you may also drag me down. ’

"'Stay here, rent out the house I left you, and you will have a plain but stable life.' ”

When she had said this, the mother jumped on her broom and flew away without her head. I never saw her again and never heard anything about her again. For her, I was just a small episode in her long journey.

"But, ever since she left, I've often wondered how nice it would be if she could travel with me, so that I could be like her, go to different places, see different people and things, and even defeat all kinds of dangerous enemies, instead of being trapped in the city forever and living a life like I do now."

"Oh?" Xia Ye's tone brought a little smile: "If you want to venture outside, it shouldn't be impossible, right?" You can also be a traveling witch like your mother, or go to ...... Whaling? According to your introduction, whaling also has to enter the depths of the Aetheric Sea. ”

Lilian snorted lightly and said, "Sister Summer Night knew the answer, but she deliberately asked me like this. I'll admit it - I'm timid, and as my mother said, I don't have the talent to use high-level witch contracts, so I don't dare to try to be a traveling witch, even whaling. ”

Summer Night was amused by Lillian's "swing", and she let out a few laughs from her throat and said, "I didn't mean to make fun of you, but I just had to confirm this before I knew if my guess was correct." Now I'm finally able to determine what you've been trying to make to me. ”

"......" Lillian didn't answer, just looked at Summer Night nervously, as if waiting for her sentence.

"You want me to take you away, don't you?" "Take you on my next journey, across the Aether Sea, from city to city, and satisfy the regrets you failed to fulfill from your mother." ”
