Chapter 1303: Chapter 729: Phantom Thief Jack
“Phantom thief? Is there a phantom thief causing trouble in the city recently?”
Dorothy looked up with some surprise at Madeline and Audrey, the two local witches opposite her, and asked curiously.
At this time, their group was traveling on the White Dragon Warship through the grand portal from the Witch Academy to Venus City, and had already arrived outside Venus City. Then…
Then they got stuck in traffic, waiting in line for the security check.
Ah, the unique big city experience of traffic jams and queuing to get into the city—it’s a must-try.
Thinking back, when the homebody witch initially went to report at the Witch Academy, she traveled in Mother Dragon’s vehicle, always on the VIP route, fast and unobstructed all the way.
But nowadays, with the White Dragon Warship lacking any family emblems or special passes, they had no choice but to obediently line up.
The Succubus Witch originally planned to contact the gate guards to get a special pass, which would be just a matter of a word given her status equivalent to that of a princess in Venus City.
However, Dorothy stopped her.
After all, everyone had nothing to do today, so slowly lining up was fine—it’s a must-try big city specialty after all.
Moreover, this traffic jam was only relatively slow, not at a complete standstill. She estimated that in about half an hour they would smoothly enter the city, so there was really no need to rush.
And it was definitely not because of the super high turn-head rate of the White Dragon Warship, or the envious, jealous, and scornful looks from other witch pedestrians, or the chaotic flashes from various snapshot spells making her feel a bit light-headed.
Definitely not.
How could someone like Dorothy be the kind of person who enjoys flaunting and vainness?
At most, it’s just like when fishermen catch a giant fish and circle the village several times without entering their homes.
This was merely about sharing my joy and luck with others, not out of vanity.
Speaking of luxury, this White Dragon Warship is far inferior to the Pegasus chariot that Mother Dragon almost gave me back then, where each of the eight Pegasus pulling the chariot costs several times more than the White Dragon Warship.
But when sitting in that chariot, being watched made Dorothy uncomfortable, while in the White Dragon Warship, being in the spotlight felt really awesome.
Ah, perhaps this is the difference between relying entirely on one’s father and building something from scratch.
The feeling that everything she has now was earned by her own two hands and efforts is truly indescribable.
In her past life, when Dorothy took her beloved figurines to conventions, she enjoyed this exact same feeling, and now, hearing others praise the White Dragon Warship is no different.
This baby was designed and assembled by my own hands.
In response to the looks from surrounding witch pedestrians, the homebody witch stood with her hands on her hips, smugly thinking to herself, nostrils flaring upwards, feeling great inside.
She took out her spellbook and logged onto the local forum of Venus City, then skillfully searched herself, quickly finding several posts that were just made.
Hmm, they were probably just posted by roadside witches also stuck in traffic outside.
[Vehicle Enthusiast: Wow, family, look what I found on the road, White Dragon Warship photo.jpg]
[Fastest Gossip-Eater: Hiss, am I seeing things? A warship stuck in traffic, and the owner of this thing isn’t even using the fast lane.]
[Warship Fanatic: Emmmm, ridiculous, I’ve watched hundreds of warships over the years, how come I’ve never seen this model. OP, take a few more pics, let me take a closer look.]
[Deck Cleaner: Stop looking, it’s clear this isn’t a mass-produced model, probably custom-made by some bigshot. Damn bigshot, I wanna board the ship too. Are you hiring deck cleaners? I can clean the deck with my tongue.]
[Warship Engineer: My god, it’s a masterful work, I can see shadows of several legendary warships on it, genius creation. OP, where did you see this? I’ll be right there.]
[I’m Really a Big Star: This is awesome, this is cool. Does anyone know which guild produced this? I want to order a ship. Money is no object.]
…….
Within a war race like witches, the number of military enthusiasts is obviously immeasurable. As soon as these posts were published, many onlookers swarmed in like sharks smelling blood, sparking a lively discussion.
And this scene utterly satisfied Dorothy, so she switched accounts without hesitation, and with her alt, she came in to help top the posts.
[Carmine of True Red: Everyone step aside, let the professionals handle this. Let me see, oh, this warship is clearly a private workshop piece, nothing worth mentioning, just ordinary.]
[Carmine of True Red: The warship armor and such are made of construction materials, not up to standard. I could do it too, just need to thoroughly read the ‘Warship Armor Synthesis Book’, ‘Special Materials Alchemy Manual’, ‘Netherworld Coating Instructions’, ‘Witch of the Forest Netherworld Diving Conjecture’…]
[Carmine of True Red: Look at this main cannon, it’s also substandard, only at the level of a Land Submerge Cannon. I think adding some materials for a Destructive Cannon would be better. Just gather some Abyssal Iron, Netherworld Illusion Gold, Dragon King’s Jewel… those materials, and combine with ‘Classic Witchery Firepower Mechanics’, ‘World-Exterminating Breath of the Dragon King Thus Spoke’, ‘Evocation Magic for Dummies Devil King Annotation Edition’…]
[Carmine of True Red: And this thruster is junk, only capable of superluminal flight…]
