Chapter 1621: Chapter 857: Returning to the Ordinary (Part 3)
Well, that’s quite normal, after all, Dorothy’s preferences were originally learned from him when she was wandering on the ground. It’s just that the hobody witch didn’t expect that her old father’s preferences would be so consistent every lifeti, even for food.
You reincarnated for nothing, didn’t you? Even the ng Po Soup has failed on you.
She thought to herself.
However, the two of them didn’t speak, just quietly enjoyed their food until both plates of roasted at were finished, leaving only two florets of broccoli used by the dwarfs for decoration at the bottom of the empty plates.
Dorothy and Adam frowned at the sight of the broccoli, then both simultaneously closed their eyes, picking up the broccoli with the resolve as if they were taking poison and putting it in their mouths.
The hobody witch is generally not picky, but really can’t handle this stuff.
Adam felt the sa way.
But still, liking or not, wasting food is not acceptable.
In the end, having successfully cleaned their plates, the father and daughter exchanged a glance, and the slightly awkward atmosphere eased up imdiately.
“Miss Hers, why are you here? This city is not very safe.”
Adam was the first to speak, asking this question.
“I didn’t co here willingly, just no choice, there are things to be done.”
Dorothy said with a displeased expression.
In front of her old father, she didn’t need to hide anything, and complained openly.
“So, Mr. Adam, what about you? I heard you’re a hero, so why did you co to the Witch Sky Island? Could it be that Night City is facing big trouble too?”
The hobody witch joked.
However, what puzzled her was that Adam actually nodded.
“Yes, I’m chasing a nesis, who is now lurking in this Night City. I’ve been playing cat and mouse with him for years but haven’t caught him yet.”
Mr. Hero replied.
This was a secret he kept in his heart, one he wouldn’t tell anyone to prevent alarming his nesis. Yet, facing Miss Hers’ inquiry, Adam revealed it directly.
Though she still didn’t understand where this mysterious closeness to the little witch ca from, she just felt she could trust her.
Adam’s words piqued Dorothy’s interest.
Nesis? To be regarded as a nesis by the exceedingly powerful Brave Adam, that’s indeed quite frightening.
“Is it troubleso? Do you need my help? Don’t underestimate , I’m actually quite formidable.”
She said this casually, thinking that with Adam’s current prowess, he probably wouldn’t need assistance from soone as inexperienced as her.
But she didn’t expect Adam to actually nod again.
“Sure, in the past two years, I’ve aged and my state has declined significantly, indeed I need an assistant.”
Mr. Hero lowered his head to look at his hand, and said.
He is now over fifty years old, with his human peak approaching its end. If he can’t settle things with his nesis soon, a few more years might be truly beyond his power.
Dorothy: “….”
No way, dad, you’re really not holding back.
The hobody witch was a bit speechless, but she didn’t go back on her word.
She just helplessly looked at the man in front of her who indeed was entering his aging period, and complained.
“So, why don’t you modify so of your body? Why insist on maintaining a human identity? With your strength, if you wish, you could live as long as you want, there’s no talk of aging.”
This is the difference between the magic world and the cultivation world. In cultivation, one can naturally extend life with enhanced strength, but magic doesn’t allow that. Even soone as strong as Brave Adam, possessing Upper-Level Peak strength, would still have a lifespan of about a hundred years as long as he’s human, without any change.
Of course, magic doesn’t entirely preclude extended life. It’s just that magic power alone isn’t enough. In fact, if one is willing to forsake humanity and modify their body slightly with bloodline transformation, eternal life could be easily achieved.
Most human powerhouses choose this path after reaching their limits; only by not being human, can one surpass humanity.
But for others, such modification is quite difficult. However, if it were Brave Adam, whether it’s an Angel’s Holy Spirit transformation, or a Demon’s Evil Spirit transformation, or a Dragon Blood transformation by bathing in Dragon Blood, he could endure them all effortlessly.
Sigh, this Brave Adam is indeed showing the human obsessive-compulsive disorder common to Adams.
Dorothy was quite speechless about this.
Although she was once human too, she had gotten used to being a witch now, only occasionally reminiscing about her unmatched second brother. But, if given another chance, she’d probably choose to beco a witch again.
After all, a hobody’s ultimate dream is to enter the two-dinsional world, and research magic is genuinely enjoyable.
She didn’t have much attachnt to the mortal identity.
Upon hearing her words, Adam didn’t get angry.
Mr. Hero just smiled gently.
“If not being human, how could I understand the thoughts and pursuits of others? If I stand too high, I’m afraid one day I’d lose my way.”
He said.
Being born as a human, he plans to die as a human—this is his life principle.
Dorothy: “…..”
…The hobody witch remained silent….
