Otaku Witch

These young people who have hardly left the Witch World are still very curious about the scenery of other Calamity Worlds. After all, a Calamity World is also dangerous for witches, and generally, witches really don’t have much opportunity to visit there.

The Mother Dragon’s Dragon Serpent Martial Soul was still racing forward. They would first visit an outpost of the Dragon Cavalry Army for a brief rest, then officially begin hunting for materials. Dorothy curiously poked her head out, gazing down at everything.

Hmm, truly a corner of the Dragon Realm indeed; the entire Ranch World is filled with traces of dragons everywhere.

Down in the forest below, there are Dragon Blood Wood, dragon scale wood, and other Dragon Spirit Wood all over the place, and from the clearing in the woods, various Dragon-type creatures can be faintly seen roaming.

Various bipedal flying dragon species similar to the Flying Dragon, various land dragon species resembling dinosaurs, various fish-dragon species that look like big fish...

These wondrous creatures Dorothy had only seen in books in the past, but now they seem almost within reach. This wondrous, dreamy feeling makes her very happy.

However, aside from various Dragon-types, Dorothy also saw many humanoid creatures with scales and sharp horns working all over the place. Some were farming in the fields, some were mining for various ores in the mountains, and some formed hunting teams seemingly trying to hunt dragon beasts...

"Uh, are those Lizard People?"

Dorothy curiously looked at these humanoid exotics that were probably local natives.

"They are Dragonfolk. They are the indigenous inhabitants of the Dragon Realm. According to scholars’ research, the ancestors of Dragonfolk were actually humans. Only after living around the Great Dragons for a long time, being bathed in the dragons’ magical power, did they gradually obtain a weak dragon blood, and their appearance began mutating towards dragon-like features. In this sense, they can also be considered close relatives of us witches, as we are all evolved species of humans."

Sophia explained from the side.

Then Senior Mia spoke up too.

"The Dragonfolk are servants to the Great Dragons. The dragons and them count as having a symbiotic relationship. The magic power of powerful dragons will always unconsciously transform the environment around them, thus giving birth to various dragon-type materials. These materials are treasures for other races, but the dragons appear too lazy to take care of these specialties themselves, so the areas around their territories are usually dependent on Dragonfolk tribes. If you have the opportunity to go to a Dragonfolk tribe, Little Fairy, you can try to trade with them. Their tribes generally have reserves of all sorts of materials."

Indeed, the Golden Princess is undeniably a keen-eyed elite merchant everywhere, always knowing the ways of making money intimately.

"So this is the Dragonfolk, huh? I’ve heard of them. Legend says the Dragonfolk clan is very adept at martial arts; their clan has a special professional inheritance called Monster Hunter. This profession masters special martial techniques known as hunting techniques. Quite interesting. Back when Lord Dragon King pioneered the Combat Magic System, he once studied hunting techniques with the Dragonfolk Elder. If there’s time later, you can go spar with the Dragonfolk hunters."

Martial Fool Madeline excitedly licked her lips, revealing a Succubus’ hunting expression.

"I’ve heard that Dragonfolk are also quite good at song and dance. They have a special weapon, even a huge flute-like club they can use to amplify and strengthen various combat abilities. It’s very fascinating."

Even the usually quiet Audrey was somewhat excited today.

Only the Little Alice next to Dorothy looked around at everyone, then awkwardly scratched her head.

Oh no, how come the elder sisters are all so knowledgeable? Is she the only one who doesn’t know anything? Should she say something now too?

Forget it, better to just go along with what they’re saying.

The little witch mimicked her elder sisters by touching her chin and looked down with a "Dragonfolk, you’ve successfully caught my attention" expression.

And amid the sisters’ chatting and laughing, a dragon-shaped mountain appeared before everyone.

Just as Dorothy was about to marvel at how even the mountains in the Dragon Realm have such dragon-like qualities, she suddenly realized this mountain seems to be the corpse of a Great Dragon transformed. Even though its body was dead, this dragon corpse defiantly stood tall, with its dragon head proudly lifted. The homebody witch could even see a carefree smile from the dragon head.

It faced death with calm.

"Alright, we’ve arrived. This is the outpost of the Dragon Cavalry Army. This mountain is named Hazzan. It was once a partner of a merit knight of the first Dragon Cavalry Army, but later was gravely injured in combat and ultimately chose this place as its burial site."

"In dragon culture, they are born from nature, grow with nature, and after death, return to nature. Dragons about to die will choose their resting place early and ultimately turn their powerful dragon bodies back into the world’s nourishment. When one dragon falls, a thousand more arise."

Euphilia introduced everyone like this.

Dorothy listened with a tinge of respect, staring at this mountain.

She rather likes this culture of the Dragon Realm. It reminds her a bit of the whale fall from his previous life.

My death will be a rebirth; this indeed has its unique sense of romance.

Of course, she appreciates it, but she wouldn’t dare recklessly imitate it now, having been warned by her Good Sister more than once.

Now, if she did imitate it, it would mean her daring to die, Denisha would let the entire world follow along and be buried with her. What’s romantic about that? That’s asking for trouble.

They landed on the dragon head, and a stone ancient castle full of years marks stood between the central horns of the mountain’s peak. This is the outpost of the Dragon Cavalry Army.

Currently, the Mother Dragon’s Dragon Cavalry Legion still guards this Ranch World. One reason is that the Dragon Realm’s environment indeed benefits the growth of Dragon Witches, and another is convenient management of the whole ranch.

After all, such a vast world can’t really be left unmanaged. The resources of dragon beasts in the ranch, the hatching of younglings, the control of the dragon swarm’s numbers, the balance of the food chain, the collection and processing of various dragon-type specialties all require manpower.

Indeed, every profession looks glamorous from afar.

The Dragon Knight, a profession that used to hold much prestige, now Dorothy detailed understood, finds out this group of Dragon Knights indeed looked impressive when there’s war to wage. But when there’s no war, they seem more like a group of herders.

However, speaking of herding, this profession in the Witch World is actually quite prestigious, since the creator of the witch clan, the great God King is himself from the shepherdess origin.

Thinking about it like this, the Dragon Knights’ identity can somehow be comparable with Lord God King, which raises the status quite a bit.

While Dorothy was lost in thought, the Dragon Riding Witch sensed the presence of the Mother Dragon in the castle, and hurriedly opened the castle gate, then came out to welcome.

Taking the lead is a witch whose build is definitely petite among the Dragon Witches with a doll-like refined cute face, while the long hair on top of the head is like gray-white stone colors.

Even though she is not tall, her presence is quite strong, with a formidable dragon’s might around her, demonstrating her owner’s extraordinary strength.

The homebody witch did recognize this witch, after all, she had met with this gray-haired witch before when she returned home. Though it was just a brief meeting, Dorothy still remembered her name due to her photographic memory.

"Seems she’s called Mavis and is the advisor of the Mother Superior’s battle group, and a powerful Time Dragon Peak Witch."

Dorothy recalled the information on this little aunt.

Actually, Aunt Abu doesn’t matter, the main thing is the Time Dragon template. Even among the Dragon Witches, it’s undeniably too strong a template.

Hmm, there should be an opportunity to forge a good relationship with this aunt later. She looks like she could be the woman to accelerate my learning.

That’s what Dorothy thought internally.

After all, there aren’t many teachers who can guide her in Time Magic. Now that she’s met one, she needs to cherish the chance properly.

...Homebody witch plotting...
