Chapter 98: 97. The Big Shots Really Know How to Play
After a long period of fruitless speculation about the purpose of this inexplicable new talent, Dorothy turned her attention to the final explanatory notes.
Since the talent description hinted that she could strengthen the talent's effect by re-walking the Demon Lord's path, she decided to first understand what the so-called Demon Lord's path entailed.
If she hadn't misunderstood, it probably meant that she had to replicate the Demon Lord's growth history.
As one of the Three Kings, an unavoidable figure in Witch history, the Demon Lord's deeds were mandatory exam topics in history class, and Dorothy knew them by heart.
However, what was recorded in history were ultimately only the most glorious and celebrated major deeds, such as the Demon Lord reaching the Peak at 20, becoming a Sage at 30, and becoming the King of Witches at 50. How could Dorothy possibly replicate such miraculous achievements?
The reason she had caught the attention of the Demon Lord this time was likely because she had replicated the Demon Lord's legendary feat of completing nine assessments in one go back in the day.
While this was an achievement that seemed incredibly difficult to ordinary Demonesses, it was actually a rather insignificant minor event within the Demon Lord's magnificent life story.
This clearly showed how deceptive the so-called re-walking the Demon Lord's path truly was.
However, Dorothy's nimble little brain started working, and inspiration suddenly struck.
"Hmm, if the Demon Lord's official history is hard to replicate, what about unofficial histories? Even black histories would work. The Demon Lord is also a Demoness; as long as she's a Demoness, she can't not have black histories. Those great achievements are hard to replicate, but perhaps unofficial histories and black histories would be easier."
The Zhai Mo Nv's eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled out her spellbook, beginning to search the magic net for unofficial histories or black histories about the Demon Lord.
However...
The Demon Lord's Love Affairs.
My Two or Three Things with the Demon Lord.
Anger for a Beauty: To avenge his Queen, the Demon Lord drew her sword in rage...
Damn, why are all the news articles in this world in the style of those Da Zui Wu Ya? The journalism industry is doomed.
Dorothy merely wanted to see if there were any black histories about the Demon Lord's childhood, like her beating up the neighbor's unruly child, that she could learn from. But when the search results appeared, seeing the screen full of various scandals and love affairs, she was utterly dumbfounded.
Why were all the results like this? Are you sure you're the Demon Lord, and not the Sea King?
Although thinking this might invite divine punishment, Dorothy couldn't help but feel such a sentiment in her heart.
But never mind. Heroes have always been romantic, and beauties are always meant for the strong. Even mortal emperors have large harems, so it doesn't seem too hard to accept that the King of Witches has a few more confidantes. After all, who wouldn't be captivated by such a peerless hero?
So, Dorothy conveniently searched for information about the God-King and the Dragon King, two even older Kings of Witches, and once again, she had a blast with the gossip.
The Story of the God-King and the Dragon King.
The Dragon King, the most sinful woman in the Witch World.
Cold and beautiful angel teacher and cute demon apprentice, how should I, as the Dragon King, choose?
Leisurely retired with my angel teacher, I'm occasionally chased by my workaholic demon apprentice.
Ah, this. My perspective was too small. Or is this just the daily life of big shots? Ancestor, you were the one who played the most among the Three Kings.
Dorothy snapped her spellbook shut, feeling like she had learned nothing useful.
After confirming her suspicions, this trashy magic net was unreliable; the narrative had been completely skewed by those news entertainment seekers. If she really wanted to find reliable information, she would have to find another way.
"Well, since I have nothing to do today, I might as well go see my wings."
Dorothy thought to herself, preparing to check the True Sight Eye.
As a gathering place for scholars, she figured she could find Seniorsspecializing in Witch history there. The information they possessed would definitely be more reliable than her randomly searching on the magic net.
Thinking it, she did it. Immediately, Dorothy cast an Akalin Technique on herself and prepared to leave.
However, upon casting the spell, she frowned, sensing something unusual about herself.
"Something's not right. This magic recovery speed is a bit too fast. My little water pistol is almost a fire hose."
Dorothy watched as the magic within her, which had only recovered a little, was now increasing at a visible rate. She was momentarily bewildered.
Just as she perceived, if her magic pool were a swimming pool, her previous natural magic recovery speed was like a small water pistol squirting water into the pool.
Well, a weak Demoness with average magic aptitude was just that embarrassing.
However, now that Dragon's Breath was activated, with the enhancement of a dragon's talent to grow stronger with each breath, her little water pistol could upgrade to a large water pipe.
If combined with the nourishment of high-grade ingredients, it would be like a large water pipe releasing water while someone also poured water into the pool with a basin.
But now, Dorothy only felt as if a fire hose had been shoved into her small swimming pool. The powerful, high-volume impact of the high-pressure water gun, a sensation she had never experienced before, instantly made her feel a little too good.
"Oh my god, who can stand this? It's too fast, really too fast. If this continues, it will be full very soon, and it will overflow."
Feeling the rapidly filling magic within her, Dorothy was so thrilled she couldn't help but exclaim.
She thought she probably knew the purpose of the so-called Demon Lord's aptitude (SSR). Damn, she probably really did share a portion of the Demon Lord's destiny.
Dragon Mom had also said before that if one's destiny was high enough, one might gain a magic buff that could increase a Demoness's magic growth rate. The reason Dorothy was eager to participate in the assessment was to get that magic speed buff earlier so that her last weakness would also be compensated.
However, what Dorothy had wanted at the time was at most just a normal, ordinary Great Witch's traffic channel. But now, it was clear that the Demon Lord had allocated a direct current from the King of Witches' exclusive traffic channel to her.
And the King of Witches' destiny bonus was probably like the ocean of magic directly pouring in. Even the most insignificant, hair-thin fraction of that ocean's branch was already enough to make a Little Witch like Dorothy ecstatic several times over.
Oh my god, is this the grace of a big shot? I love it, I love it. Don't worry, big shot, I'm definitely going to be the Second Generation Demon Lord. No one can stop me from following in your great footsteps, Demon Lord. It's just the Demon Lord's path, let's walk it, who's afraid of whom?
The Zhai Mo Nv was fired up.
I'm so diligent for getting up early to write. Give myself a thumbs up.
