House Witch

"Okay, let's talk about your old enemy?"

Dorothy didn't mention body modification to extend her life.

She still understands the principle of not doing to others what you don't want others to do to you.

It's like she doesn't want to attract too much attention and just wants to live a peaceful and peaceful daily life. She doesn't want to follow Mother Long back to inherit the family business and go to the battlefield to become an armed witch, which seems to be a waste of talent.

Since it was Adam's own choice to live his life as a human being, she, as a daughter, could only respect it.

Well, we won’t really see each other again anyway.

When an old Adam dies, a younger one will grow up again in a dozen years, lol.

But speaking of it, father and daughter are really equally paranoid, and they always like to have inexplicable persistence on things that other witches find difficult to understand.

Peaceful daily life? Mortal identity?

This is indeed a boring thing, but they feel important and are willing to do so. This is enough, isn't it?

Life is your own thing, and everyone has the right to decide how to spend their life. As long as they live comfortably, they don't necessarily have to follow the so-called "best" route.

And Adam smiled happily when he heard that Miss Holmes didn't try to persuade her.

He knew that she understood him.

Then, he thought for a moment and answered.

"That guy? He's a demon named Mammon."

Dorothy: "."

? ? ?

The otaku witch, who didn't care much at first, almost jumped up from the bench, and a series of small question marks appeared above her head.

Well, can I regret it now?

She suddenly regretted agreeing so quickly.

Even though the otaku witch has always been quite confident, recently she even felt that as long as the opponent was not a sage, she could try to deal with the opponent a few times, but you really arranged a sage-level boss for her.

And he is not an ordinary sage, he is a sage among sages, one of the bosses who stands at the top of the entire Western Universe.

Mammon, the great demon who is in charge of the original sin of greed.

I can’t afford to play, so I won’t play anymore and say goodbye.

Dorothy also accepted her biological father. She originally thought that she was a troublemaker and often provoked some big guys for no reason. But now the facts tell her that your father is your father after all. Jiang is still very old, look at it. Who has this father provoked?

What you provoked in the Night of the Witch was Lucifer, the demon of arrogance, and you have provoked Mammon, the demon of greed in this life. Are you planning to collect stamps and collect all the seven demons?

"It seems that you also know him, so there is no need to introduce him to you. How about it, are you afraid?"

Seeing Miss Holmes' surprised look, Adam also laughed heartily and joked.

"I am indeed afraid. The Great Demon of Original Sin, who is not afraid of this? I am not the two kings in heaven."

The otaku witch also said angrily.

She originally thought that planning to overthrow the vampire clan could not be completed in a day or two. It was not impossible to accept a side mission from Adam, but now this good guy, the side missions are even more outrageous than the main missions. .

"Mr. Adam, although I know you are strong, but..."

Dorothy considered her words, thinking about how to make her father aware of the difference in strength without hurting her father.

"But I will definitely not be Mammon's opponent, right?"

Adam took over Dorothy's words and said the lines that the otaku witch failed to say.

But he didn't feel like his self-esteem was hurt. After all, Mr. Brave had long passed the age where his defenses could be broken with just one word.

Besides, this is actually true.

Although he has been playing hide-and-seek with the original sin demon all his life, the other party has been playing tricks on him, otherwise he would have died long ago.

"Don't worry, it's not about fighting directly. Those superior original sin demons rarely directly suppress people with force. They prefer to use various means to evoke original sin in others and make people fall for themselves."

Adam spoke to comfort Dorothy.

This is also a fact. Brutal force is something that middle and lower level demons like to use. The real upper level demons no longer need to actively hunt. Naturally, prey will come to their doorsteps waiting for them to enjoy.

Just like the greedy demon Mammon, the souls of all greedy people are his reserve food.

“We don’t need to fight Him head-on, we just need to play a game with Him.”

"game?"

Dorothy was stunned for a moment, then became alert again.

One thing to say, she is really allergic to games recently.

However, Adam didn't understand this. Seeing Miss Holmes's doubts, he nodded and continued to explain.

"Well, it's a game played by the devil. I once made a contract with Mammon. He will conduct 99 greed tests on me. If I can pass them all, then he will never harass me again."

Mr. Brave said so.

Dorothy: "."

This style is indeed quite demonic, and those big demons are indeed of this tone.

But Adam, you are as popular with demons as ever.

The otaku witch remembered that Satan, the incarnation of Lucifer in Witch Night, was greedy for Adam's soul, and finally overturned.

Otherwise she might not be Dorothy the Witch now, but Dorothy the Devil.

"What kind of tests are they? Give me some reference. I feel confident."

Dorothy asked curiously.

Adam didn't hide it from her. He recalled it for a while and then spoke.

"Actually, they are all quite simple. They are not very difficult. They are just multiple-choice questions."

"For example, when I was ten years old, a weak companion and I were killed in the desert. When we were about to die of thirst, we found a kettle, but the water was only enough for one person to survive."

"Or when I was fifteen years old, my hometown was levied a large amount of taxes by the lord. I was in urgent need of money, so I joined the dragon-slaying team. After successfully defeating the dragon, we obtained the dragon's treasure. , but the money there is all the hard-earned money of nearby residents, and they also have to pay taxes."

"Or when I was twenty years old, I offended the lord and was being hunted. At that time, I longed for power, and then I got a magic sword. As long as I sacrifice a human life, this magic sword can give me the power of the devil. strength."

"When I was thirty years old, I met a woman. She was very beautiful, and I got along well with her. She expressed her love for me, but also confessed that she was a vampire. If I wanted, she would give me She will live forever and be with me forever, but I know that her castle is full of human mummies that have been sucked dry, and I accepted the mission to defeat her."

"At the age of thirty-five, I started traveling around the world and went to the elves."

Dorothy: "."

No, you call this simple?

Question marks appeared over the otaku witch's head again.

"Then what did you do?"

she asked even more curiously.

Although based on her understanding of Adam, she could actually guess what Adam would do.

"I gave the water to my companions, and was saved by being fed blood by them; I returned the dragon's treasures to their original owners, and then went back and chopped up the tax-collecting lord; I threw the magic sword to the pursuers and watched They fought for the magic sword and killed each other; I killed the vampire woman with my own hands, but she didn't resist and just died in my arms."

Adam also said this calmly.

Dorothy nodded, then sighed inwardly.

Alas, it turned out to be the father she was familiar with.

Then she remembered the legends of brave men told by Fenrir before. At first, she thought that they might not be true, but looking at it now, there was probably a conflict between Adam and the demon god Mammon hidden behind every legendary story. Let’s compete.

It's no wonder that the brave Adam is so strong. With this legendary experience, if he were not strong, he would have died long ago.

"How many times is this game now?"

The otaku witch was silent for a while and then asked.

"The 99th time, this is the last time, I will be free after it is over."

Adam replied.

Dorothy: "."

Dad, did you just raise a very serious flag?

Bah, bah, bah, this is really unlucky.

"So do you have any clues about this final test?"

The otaku witch continued to ask.

Adam did not answer directly this time. He just held the wine glass and quietly looked at the bonfire not far away and the people laughing around the bonfire. Finally, he turned to look at Dorothy beside him.

"I didn't have a clue at first, but since I met you, Miss Holmes, I have understood."

He said so.

"???"

Dorothy has almost turned into a heartless question mark machine. What does it have to do with her?

Fortunately, Adam didn't act like a Riddler and quickly gave her the answer.

"Family, the test this time should be family, because I am probably really old, and I am beginning to be afraid of loneliness and long for the warmth of family."

Mr. Brave lowered his head and said this.

He spent the first half of his life alone, always busy making bets with the devil, but this last bet never came.

He knew that Mammon was lurking in this night city, but he still couldn't catch any clues about this terrible demon. The other party seemed to be deliberately consuming him.

He had no choice but to settle down in the Night City.

He had never lived in one place for so long in his life, and with his character that he couldn't help but help when people were in trouble, it was only natural that the village of Avalon was created today.

This was something he wouldn't do as a young man. After all, he was the unlucky guy being targeted by the devil. Anyone approaching him would only be implicated, which would lead to misfortune.

But now he did not refuse.

First of all, he is much stronger than when he was young, so strong that even the devil dare not look down on him, and he has the ability to protect himself to some extent.

Secondly, as he just said, he may be really old, and when people get old, they will be afraid of loneliness and long for the company of family members.

He is an old bachelor and naturally has no real family, so it would be nice to have some friends around him.

His fighting spirit has indeed been worn away by this peaceful life day after day, especially after Miss Holmes appeared, some strange thoughts always popped up in his mind from time to time.

For example, if I had gotten married and had children normally, my children would be this big now.

If I also give birth to a daughter, will she be as beautiful and sensible as this Miss Holmes?

Oh, it’s so nice to have a daughter.

Although it may be a bit rude to do so, it can even be said to be disrespectful, but when Adam looks at Miss Holmes, he can't help but bring an old father's perspective.

This is very strange, but he really can't control himself.

Only then did he realize his problem.

He probably really longs for a home and the company of his family, otherwise how could this father's love be so overflowing that it would just pour out onto the little witch indiscriminately.

And this is very dangerous, because for the demon god who has been fighting with him all his life, this is a rare flaw and opportunity, and the other party will never give up.

"So, Miss Holmes, you were actually sent by Mammon."

Adam asked suddenly.

His eyes couldn't help but become sharp.

He couldn't help but doubt this. After all, at this juncture, a person of unknown origin suddenly appeared out of thin air, but he felt particularly close to him. What do you think this is, if this is not the devil's conspiracy?

Dorothy: "."

The otaku witch blinked in confusion.

However, he was not too panicked about this. Instead, he thought about it seriously and nodded.

"Maybe it's true."

She admitted so.

Well, although she was actually arranged by the Sage of Lies and not the Demon God Mammon, as far as she knew, Hermes and the Demon God Mammon seemed to be a bit unclear.

After all, both of them are ministers of the Demon King and have a relationship of colleagues.

It's very reasonable for three bad guys to get together and work together.

So was it really just an accident that Hermes sent her to this era, as she said, so she only needed to cooperate in a performance?

Gee, she always felt that there was a conspiracy here before, but now that Adam said this, she felt more and more that there must be something wrong here.

Well, maybe this is really the plan of the Mammon Demon God against Adam.

After all, the false daughter may not be able to confuse Adam, the true brave man, but what about his true daughter?

Wow, it was indeed a trick of the devil. It was so poisonous. I was almost used as a tool.

The more Dorothy thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.

Then she looked up at Adam and sighed.

"Okay, dad, I won't hide it from you now. I'm actually not some Hermes. My name is Dorothy. I'm a person from the future and your biological daughter in who knows how many lifetimes."

Damn it, no matter what her schemes are, I’ve shown my cards, I’ll see how you continue to play.

Although this showdown would definitely cause turbulence in time and space, and might actually change the future, Dorothy silently felt the mark of the God above God in her heart, and couldn't help but put her hands on her hips.

Do you understand what it means that a child with a sister is a treasure?

If there was an accident, the good sister would definitely pull her away immediately. Since the good sister didn't respond, it means it was all a minor problem.

It's true to say that Adam the Brave was not well-known in later generations, which means that this didn't cause any big trouble at all.

So you can't change big things, but you can change small things as you please, don't be timid, it's just recklessness.

However, Adam across from him was a straight Muggle.

No, he actually just tested it casually. Why did you kid just jump to the big jump? Shouldn't you be justifying or pretending or something?

Moreover, aren’t we a suspense and conspiracy studio? You suddenly come from the future.

Mr. Brave's mind was a little overloaded for a moment.

But these are actually minor issues. The important point is that she really calls me daddy.

Although Adam had tried very hard to endure it, the corners of his mouth still curled up unconsciously.

The old father is in ecstasy (end of chapter)
