Chapter 1306: Chapter 730: A Close Call
“Wow, it’s so big. Maybe I shouldn’t have come here with the White Dragon Warship; I should have brought the Witch’s Home Sky Island instead.”
After lining up for half an hour, Dorothy and her friends finally followed the traffic to the gates of Venus City. The Homebody Witch gazed at this enormous city in front of her, thinking to herself.
Although the Witch Academy and Venus City are both first-tier cities, there is a difference between first-tier cities.
The Witch Academy is primarily an educational and research city, focused on academia rather than material pursuits. The city is full of academies or research centers, with a serious and old-fashioned atmosphere, much like the Angel Witch Clan that governs it, giving off an antique and rigid impression.
But Venus City is different; it was originally a capital of indulgence and entertainment, focusing on extravagance and luxury. Naturally, the bigger and more prosperous the city, the better.
Moreover, it’s currently the era of the Demon Lord, the most glorious and triumphant era for the Demon Witches. The confidence and pride that exude from their bones permeate every corner of this city, making it vibrant and triumphant.
Not to mention, the sheer scale of the city is incomparable to the Witch Academy. Venus City is at least ten times larger, so big it’s somewhat intimidating.
Earlier, when they first arrived via teleportation, Dorothy felt nothing because they were still far away, but now, at the city gate, looking at the City Protective Barrier emitting terrifying magic power fluctuations, the Homebody Witch instantly felt the oppressive force.
My goodness, this City Protective Barrier is directly a Twelve-Ring Forbidden Curse, that’s impressive.
Dorothy recalled the God King’s Protection Curse from the Angel Witch’s Ancestral Court at the God King Cathedral, which is only an Eleven-Ring Forbidden Curse. The Angel Witches treat it as a last-resort tactic, only activating it in moments of life and death.
And now, Venus City’s regular protection is directly a Twelve-Ring Forbidden Curse, and it’s constantly active. The differences between the two are telling.
The Angel Witches have truly fallen.
As she sensed the terrifying fluctuations of the City Protective Barrier, the first thought in the Homebody Witch’s mind wasn’t about the defensive power, but rather how much magic power and resources are burned daily to maintain the operation of this Forbidden Curse.
This thought made Dorothy feel a kind of suffocating anxiety.
Even though it’s not her money being spent, she inexplicably felt a sense of heartbreak.
Oh my, if I had that much money, I could eat all I wanted… but…
Forget it, wasting food is bad, better not overdo it.
In any case, the people of Venus City are truly wealthy.
This was Dorothy’s first impression of this artistic metropolis.
Thinking of wealth, the Homebody Witch couldn’t help but glance at Senior Mia in the distance.
To mention the wealthiest city, it has to be the Golden Country in the Dragon Kingdom. It’s a city of wealth, a commercial capital. It’s said the entire city’s Sky Island foundation is built with countless jewels, and the city’s body is cast with Witch Gold. Even the river running through the city is filled with sugar and honey…
Alas, poverty must be limiting Dorothy’s imagination. She couldn’t quite envision the Golden Country’s appearance.
Hmm, next time I visit Senior Mia’s house, I’ll definitely eat all the rice in her pantry.
Dorothy thought embarrassingly.
At this moment, they arrived at the city gate under the Forbidden Curse Barrier, where several Demon Witch guards in handsome uniforms and Battle Robes stopped them, preparing to guide them through inspection.
“Please slow down, open the hatch, and passengers inside the ship, please show your Identity Card. Thank you for cooperating.”
The unique appearance of the White Dragon Warship also caught the attention of these Witch guards. These Demon Witches flew around the warship on brooms, and some openly used the Photography Technique to take pictures.
Dorothy had no objections to this. She was quite the law-abiding citizen and compliantly instructed Zero to slow down, open the hatch, and let the Witch guards inside for inspection.
“Thank you all for cooperating. I’m… oh, Lady Madeline?”
A team of Witch guards jumped into the hatch and walked inside. The squad leader in front was about to introduce herself routinely but then saw the scene in the cabin where the Succubus Witch was.
Oh my, is the Princess here for an undercover inspection? Good thing my attitude was good this time, or I’d be done for.
The guard captain was startled but simultaneously relieved.
Though the Night Council, composed of the Vampire Clan and Werewolves, appears to be the governing power in Venus City, local witches know that the real authority not to be trifled with belongs to the Aphrodite Family who controls the central stage.
They are descendants of the Demon King, the true Witch Royal Family.
Suddenly, the Witch guards’ brows furrowed, then they each showed a humble smile.
However, they didn’t immediately leave. Although the guard captain’s smile turned sycophantic, she still signaled her team to conduct the routine checks.
She herself stepped forward, prepared to check everyone’s Identity Cards.
“Sorry, Miss Madeline, I’m Blanca, captain of the 37th squad of the Night Watcher Battalion city guard. According to protocol, please present your Identity Cards for verification. If there’s any offense, please forgive us.”
This exceptionally tall captain expressed firm words in the most timid tone.
