"What's going on today?...... I always feel like I've met the dragon?"

Chrissy hadn't seen anything about dragons before, but today she was inexplicably full of dragons.

Chrissy suppressed the cranky thoughts in her heart and continued her work.

"Hmph! I'm still quite capable!"

It took about two hours, and when Dolma was almost ready for lunch, Chrissy finished cleaning the study. Seeing that the entire study was clean and spotless, Chrissy also felt a lot of accomplishment in her empty heart.

After lunch, Chrissy, disguised as an ordinary village girl, shouted to Dolma at the gate:

"Dolma, then I'm leaving!"

"Okay, miss, be careful on the road. ”

Dolma stood by the door and waved at the girl, until the girl's figure completely disappeared at the end of the road, and then turned back to the castle.

This time Chrissy left the castle for no other purpose than to buy some supplies, of course...... Also settle an account with someone.

"Field, you seem to have a good business, huh?"

After buying the necessities she didn't need, Chrissy arrived at the house of the witch doctor, and as soon as Chrissy arrived at the door, she saw an obscene old man with a goatee and thick sunglasses counting money behind the counter where various sun-dried herbs were displayed.

As soon as Chrissy stepped through the door, Field immediately put the money back in the cash drawer and sneered at Chrissy:

"Eh, Lord Chrissy, welcome. ”

"Field, aren't you invisible, how did you know I was here all at once?"

Chrissy's brows furrowed, she deliberately changed her voice just now, and dressed up in disguise when she went out, but the old man actually saw through it directly.

The old witch doctor Fielde smiled and said, "Hey, I have a bad eye, but I have a good nose! You are a distinguished guest, and I knew you were here as soon as you entered the village." ”

Chrissy glared at the old witch doctor and said, "Oh, that's amazing, and you know what I'm looking for you for?"

Field sneered, "Uh... For the enchantment I sold you the other day, it looks like it's expired, and you're not happy right now. ”

Seeing that this unscrupulous profiteer actually knew about this, obviously he did it on purpose, Chrissy was even more angry, she snorted coldly and said: "Yes, I don't buy materials from you, you dare to sell me such an inferior product?"

Field patted his head and smiled, "Ha! It's old and confused, but I'm not sure how effective that bottle of medicine is, so I gave it to you!"

"Use me as a guinea pig? Believe it or not, I burned down your shop?"

Chrissy raised an eyebrow, and a small fireball appeared in her hand, and it was clear that she wasn't exactly joking.

"Mistress Chrissy, rest your anger!

Field hurriedly waved his hand, and suddenly smiled slyly:

"I can give you all the money back, but I have another interesting piece of information here, but the cost of the information has to be offset by the cost of the medicine, what do you think?"

"Intelligence, what information?"

Chrissy had some interest, and Field, as an older witch doctor, often had some special sources of information.

Field beckoned Chrissy to come over, and then said nervously:

"Information on an obtainable dragon egg. ”

"Huh?!"

Chrissy was really startled, but quickly calmed down, and she asked suspiciously:

"What dragon egg? If it's just a lizardbeast's egg, and you say it's a dragon egg, I'll make you an egg. ”

Field patted his chest and said, "I swear to the Great Wizard Hamandela, it's a real dragon egg." ”

"Is it a water dragon egg? or a red wing dragon egg?"

Chrissy said that there are two more common dragon races, there are actually quite a few monsters that belong to the dragon race, and their characteristics and strength are different, but in terms of the strength of the ability of the specific race, they are basically competing whose dragon blood is stronger.

"It's a dragon egg, Mistress Chrissy, an absolute dragon egg. ”

The dragon is the backbone of the dragon bloodline, and it is now the top existence in the dragon clan, and it has extremely high intelligence, and it can also do a lot of dragon magic.

According to the color of the carapace, it can be divided into eight types: gold, silver, blue, green, purple, red, black, and yellow.

"Is it legal?"

Chrissy didn't show much joy, the dragon was a real top-level magical beast, and even if anyone was lucky enough to get a dragon egg, it would be a life-threatening talisman that would kill her.

Field nodded in affirmation, "Yes, you can rest assured that you can hold it in your hand." ”

"If it's a real dragon egg, it's impossible for a normal person to hold it in their hands, right?"

According to Chrissy in the books, the actual dragon egg was about the size of an adult, and was so cumbersome that it required eight pack horses to pull it.

"Haha, that's just a statement, the dragon egg was obtained from a dragon's lair, and the dragon has been dead for many years, and the dragon egg itself is a discarded thing, and it can be bought and sold according to the terms of the note. ”

"Okay, tell me the details. ”

Such a big temptation, of course Chrissy can't refuse, if she can get a dragon egg, hatch it, even if it's just a young dragon, it is also quite a powerful demon, which will be helpful for future cultivation, if you can sign a bloodline contract, you can even let the family have a dragon to protect in the future.

"This dragon egg will be sold as the grand finale in the grand auction of Twilight in two weeks' time, and it is said that there will be many large families and forces involved, and you will definitely be a serious contender, Lord Chrissy. ”

"Damn, don't you say nothing, that egg will be sold for a sky-high price, right?"

"You are the witch of the Lanyeer family, and I believe you have a way to solve it. ”

The old fox smiled slyly.

"Anyway, I've already told you the information, and we're clear now. ”

"Tsk!"

Chrissy gritted her teeth with hatred, but there was nothing she could do.

There is a spirit of contract between magicians, and as long as the other party fulfills their promise, the other party can no longer use this as an excuse to make trouble.

Chrissy also didn't want to ruin the already sluggish reputation of the Lanyell family, so she had no choice but to slam the door.

However, Chrissy didn't really swallow this breath, and before leaving, she used a charcoal pen to write the four big words "There are profiteers inside" on the sign of Field's herb shop, and then embarked on the return journey.

The Lanyeer family to Chrissy's generation has been completely defeated, and Chrissy is the only one left in the whole family, so she is the head of the Lanyeer family and the great witch.

With the current background of the Lanyeer family, go to the nationally renowned commercial center of Twilight City to compete for a dragon egg with those wealthy families and nationally renowned tycoons......

Don't even think about it, you won't be able to grab it.

Why is he so stupid? If there is such a good thing, Field will not sell her information for ten gold guilders for a bottle of potions.

But the Lanyeer family must have been able to do this when they were strong, right?

The problems she encountered in front of her were not problems at all in front of her powerful ancestors, right?

Why did the Lanyeer family fall into this situation inexplicably?

Back at the castle, Chrissy munched on her dinner, her brow furrowed, thinking about something.

Zhuoma, who was standing next to her, asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Dolma, are there a lot of things you haven't told me?"

Chrissy knew she shouldn't be suspicious of Dolma, but she knew that something had to change about her family and her current situation.

“......”

However, for Chrissy's question, Dolma, who has always been loyal and always answered, actually chose to remain silent, which is extremely rare.

Surprised, Chrissy continued to ask, "Do you know the real reason why my magic can't grow?"

“......”

"The fundamental reason for the weakness of our family is actually because there has never been a powerful witch in our family for ten generations, right? Even if it is famous, it is famous for alchemy like my grandmother, and there is no really powerful witch at all. ”

"And the names and stories of the ancestral witches ten generations ago are basically related to Warcraft, they should have the talent to control powerful Warcraft, right? ”

"Dolma, you... How much is it hiding from me?"

Chrissy got up from her seat and looked up at Dolma, who was a head taller than herself, tears glistening in the girl's serious eyes.

If Dolma has hidden the truth from himself, then who else can he trust in this world?

Chrissy was very sad in her heart.

"Miss, you... It's time for you to choose. ”

Dolma let out a sigh of emotion, and his voice was no longer as cold as usual.

"Choose?"

Chrissy was puzzled, and Dolma's words made her a little confused.

"If you're ready for dinner now, follow Dolma to the library. ”

"Okay, let's go now!"

Chrissy clenched her fists, her nails digging into her flesh, and even if she didn't, she had to figure out why Dolma was hiding it from her.

The sprawling Château de Lanjere has nearly a hundred rooms, many of which Chrissy has never set foot in.

Following in Dolma's footsteps, Chrissy walked in the empty corridor, because it was dark night, and many of the magic lights on the walkway were damaged, causing the corridor to flicker and flicker, and the end of the road seemed to be a bottomless abyss, Chrissy was actually a little scared.

But she couldn't back down here, so she quickened her pace and followed closely behind Dolma.

Finally Dolma stopped in a room, she put her hand on the door, and recited a spell in her mouth: "Peep into the dark, do not know the light." ”

The rhetoric of the ancient law made Chrissy realize that Dolma, who seemed to be just a magic puppet, could actually spell.

However, in all these years, Dolma has never shown it to herself, and the originally familiar Dolma has also begun to become strange in Chrissy's eyes.

The imperceptible sealing array on the door disappeared, and Dolma turned the doorknob and walked straight in, followed by Chrissy after hesitating for a moment.

Sensing that someone had entered, the soft and bright magic lights in the room lit up one by one, making the interior of the room feel like daytime.

"Here?"

Chrissy looked around and saw that there were ten or even a hundred times as many books in the study, and all the books were neatly arranged on the shelves.

And more importantly, she still has a sense of familiarity here? Why?

"This is the library, miss, and the questions you are distressed with will be answered here. ”

With that, Dolma continued to lead the way, and Chrissy, who was full of doubts, of course followed up, shuttling back and forth with Dolma in a labyrinth of bookcases surrounded by bookcases.

However, just as Chrissy came to the end of the labyrinth, she saw an incredible scene.

In the center of the labyrinth, a woman sits on a black lacquered carved wooden chair next to a desk stacked with books.

The translucent woman turned to Chrissy, who was still stunned, smiled at her, and said in a soft and kind voice:

"Kid, you're finally here. ”

"You ......"

Chrissy shuddered and took a step back, looking incredulous.

"Mom... Mom?"

Yes, there can be nothing wrong with this figure.

Chrissy had seen this woman in countless dreams countless times, how could she be mistaken?

She was sure that the illusory figure in front of her was her mother, Noya Lanyer.

"My child. ”

The woman got up from her seat and walked towards Chrissy with dignified and graceful steps.

"Mom's ......"

Chrissy held out her hand, and the elf-like woman leaned in towards Chrissy.

However, the mother and daughter only had nothingness at the moment of touch, and Chrissy's fingers passed through the woman's body without any obstacles, and the imaginary mother's warmth did not appear.

Obviously, the person in front of him is not the real mother, this is just the magic phantom left by his mother Noya.

However, even so, Chrissy could not calm her mood.

"Since you're here, you must have the consciousness to make a choice. ”

Noah kept smiling, and she reached out to stroke Chrissy's forehead, and when the long, illusory fingers touched her, Chrissy felt as if a cool breeze was blowing through her forehead.

"Yes, Mom. ”

Chrissy suppressed the emotions gushing in her heart, and asked her mother's mana phantom as calmly as she could:

"What the hell are you hiding from me, where are you now, why haven't you ever come back?"

"Now I can only answer a limited number of questions. ”

Faced with Chrissy's continuous questions, Phantom Noah did not have the intention and ability to answer them all.

"But you have to be clear that the decisions we make are meaningful, and that this meaning does not deviate from our original purpose – to protect you. ”

"Protect me, why don't you stay with me?"

These words made Chrissy laugh, and two tears flowed from the corners of her eyes as a stiff smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

After a pause, Phantom Noah said, "Because we love you, that's why we're leaving." ”

"Self-righteous!"

Chrissy took a step back and shouted to Phantom Noah through gritted teeth:

"When I need you, you're not there, are you protecting me?!"

"Miss......"

Dolma saw that Chrissy, whose face was full of anger, wanted to say something, but she, as a servant who had been accompanying the girl, could not find any suitable words and could only remain silent.

"I was only five years old when you were gone. You've left behind a castle, a bunch of magical golems, and enough money for me to last a lifetime. ”

Chrissy knew that her parents' choice must have their reasons, but that didn't stop her from venting her pent-up emotions to her mother's apparition.

"But do you think I'll thank you for that? You're like strangers, I can't even remember what memories you have of me, I can't even dream of it! I even forgot your words! I forgot your voices!"

"Really...... It's been almost ten years. ”

Chrissy wiped the tears welling up from her cheeks with her cuffs, and took a deep breath to ease the pain in her chest.

"Do you know how envious I am when I go into town and see children with their parents, how much I want you to be by my side, you keep saying 'love me,' but what is the difference between you and those who have really abandoned me?"

"I'm sorry......"

In the face of Chrissy's loud questioning, the phantom Noah did not defend himself, and his illusory and ethereal eyes were also clouded with a layer of mist.

"We can't be with you, and that's not something we can choose. ”

Chrissy's tone calmed down, and she looked directly at her mother's phantom and said, "That's... Tell me, tell me everything. ”

"My child, if you choose to know everything, you will have to bear the fate of the witch family. This would be an unstable and dangerous fate. ”

Phantom Noah stared at the girl, and the more time passed, the softer her tone became.

"If you choose to refuse now, you can give up witchcraft, give up your practice, use the property we have left you, go into the ordinary people, be an ordinary girl, and have a rich life. ”

And in the future, you will meet the person you love, you will form a family with him, and you will reap ordinary and peaceful happiness. ”

"That's what we're hoping for. ”

Phantom Noah gently looked at the confusion and hesitation on the girl's face, and continued to recount the words that had been set up long ago.

"But we exposed you to magic and sorcery before we left, and you already know the tip of the iceberg of 'that world,' so now you have the power to make your choice. ”

Don't touch those forbidden secrets, don't join the ranks of mysteries, and just live in this world as an ordinary girl.

Is this the choice my parents want me to make?

Did they leave me to keep these secrets for me?

"I don't want this kind of life!"

In fact, the answer was predestined when she entered the room.

Chrissy made a choice, her gaze redetermined.

"I am Chrissy Lanyel, and I am destined to surpass you and become the strongest witch. ”

"So ......"

"Tell me everything!"

"Mom. ”
