Chapter 119 You Are the Witch
"Yes, Your Majesty Chloe."
Dorothy addressed Chloe by her name in a friendly manner, which brought a kind smile to the Elf Queen's face.
Anna, however, was somewhat surprised.
Because after the Queen told him that Dorothy was just an ordinary human, she actually told Dorothy her own name.
Given Her Majesty's personality, that's impossible.
Is Her Majesty the Queen really this friendly to humans?
The Queen has been on the throne for over a thousand years, and under her rule, the Dark Elves have always maintained a lukewarm attitude towards humans.
Anna probably guessed what was going on, but she remained outwardly calm until the meeting ended.
Anna led Dorothy away from the reception hall.
The two walked down the corridor, one in front of the other.
Dorothy looked up at the huge, glowing object in the sky.
"Hey Anna, what's that thing in the sky? Is it the sun underground? Does it shine all day long? How do you tell if it's day or night?"
Anna suddenly stopped and turned to look at Dorothy.
"Just behave yourself and don't ask all sorts of questions like a curious child."
After saying that, she turned around and continued walking forward.
Dorothy shrugged.
It's only natural to feel curious about your surroundings when you arrive in a new place.
Not to mention underground cities like this.
Seeing the dark elves living here, Dorothy was quite interested in the ecology of this place.
"How many dark elves live here? Seventy or eighty thousand?"
Despite Anna's warnings to Dorothy, Dorothy's mouth kept chattering on and on.
"Shut up! Believe me or not, I'll gag you right now!"
Anna's face darkened as she looked at the dark elf guards standing in the corridor and listened to Dorothy talking incessantly behind her.
The two walked past the guards.
Dorothy, hands behind her head, excitedly drawled, "Hey~ a gag, what will you use to gag me~"
Anna clenched her fists.
It's hard now, the fist is really hard!
However, by this time the two had already left the palace.
Dorothy suddenly sniffed the air.
"It smells so good!"
Surprisingly, there was a floral fragrance in this underground space.
Dorothy noticed that as they moved, white, shimmering flowers began to appear all around them.
The fragrance comes from these flowers.
Walking among these glowing white flowers, Dorothy's vision was somewhat hazy; the scene before her felt incredibly dreamlike.
"There's even a garden here?" Dorothy couldn't help but exclaim.
Then a gentle voice reached my ears: "Isn't it pretty?"
Dorothy looked in the direction of the voice and saw the Elf Queen. She nodded instinctively and said, "Beautiful."
The Elf Queen stood beneath the pavilion in the center of the garden, her long dress fluttering slightly.
The dreamlike scene before her made Dorothy even think she was dreaming.
"Your Majesty," Anna said, placing her right hand on her chest and bowing slightly.
Chloe chuckled, "Don't be so polite in private."
Then Chloe looked at Dorothy: "Hello, Miss Witch."
"Um?"
Dorothy had originally hoped to make a good impression on the Dark Elf Queen.
Dorothy was stunned by what the other person said.
Anna, on the other hand, wore an expression that said, "I knew it."
Dorothy kept waving her hands and shaking her head, saying, "No, no, no, I'm not a witch, and just now over there, in that hall where you received me, didn't you say that I'm not a witch? I'm just an ordinary human, uh, a human girl."
When the Elf Queen heard Dorothy's words, she simply smiled and shook her head: "I couldn't admit you were a witch back then, after all, your power was still too weak."
"————" Dorothy pursed her lips. The Elf Queen said she was weak, and that was indeed true.
Despite Chloe's approachable demeanor, Dorothy could still sense the immense, ocean-like magic emanating from her.
Chloe looked out of the garden, and although her view was blocked by the castle's high walls, she could still see the dark elves busily working outside.
"If I had told you back then that you were a witch, then our clan would have had high hopes for you."
"I hope you can resolve the abyss rift that's being suppressed below."
"But I know that you are not capable of fixing that crack."
"In order not to give my people any unnecessary expectations, I have directly denied your witch bloodline."
Chloe explained why she had denied Dorothy's identity in the Great Hall, and why she was now acknowledging her as a witch.
This explanation, however, troubled Dorothy somewhat.
"Um, actually I'm really not a witch. Why do both you and Anna think I am?"
Dorothy was more interested in hearing the answer to this question.
She had a feeling that more people might call her a witch in the future.
Now, all Dorothy wants to know is why Anna and Chloe are so convinced they must be witches.
Chloe responded with an expression that seemed completely taken for granted.
"Because of the magic within you, we can tell that you are very young, no different from a newborn baby in our clan's terms."
"But you, at such a young age, actually possess magic power at the level of a mage. If this is only explained by talent, it is simply too unbelievable."
Anna stood to the side, nodding repeatedly.
She clearly agreed with the Queen's words.
But Dorothy didn't agree.
She knew perfectly well where her magic came from.
She just couldn't tell anyone.
However, Dorothy still decided to try one more time.
"Well, perhaps in some ancient or mythical era, there were other beings just like me, only younger, but with greater magical power."
Dorothy gestured wildly, constantly adjusting her language system and expression. The world is so big, and those born with powerful magic are not necessarily witches.
Chloe nodded in agreement.
Dorothy's eyes lit up the moment she saw the Elf Queen nod.
"Really? You see, I told you there were definitely some special cases."
Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief. Since there were other examples, she could find other excuses.
Chloe said with a serious expression, "There are indeed races other than witches that are born with enormous magical power. That was in the ancient times. There was a race called the Demons living on this continent."
Dorothy was completely dumbfounded.
Why did they bring out another demon race?
Chloe shook her head.
"However, there are no demons on the continent now, and you do not have any characteristics of demons, so you are not a demon."
If Dorothy were given only two choices right now, one would be to admit that she is a witch, and the other would be to admit that she is a demon.
Dorothy seemed to have no choice but to do so in order to improve her reputation.
After all, the demon race is the kind of being that everyone hates and hates.
Perhaps the moment she opens her mouth to admit that she is a demon, Chloe's staff will be pointed at her.
Thinking about this, Dorothy suddenly felt a stomachache.
She couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen with her hand.
"Um, okay, let's talk about something else then."
Dorothy no longer wanted to talk about witches.
Chloe looked at Anna with loving eyes.
"Anna, you are very smart. I hope you will continue to stay by Dorothy's side."
