Chapter 916: 572. Dorothy of Dihua
“Why did you want to stop you in the end? You’ve already rebelled, so why not just go all the way through?”
Dorothy glanced over her roommate’s plan and then asked with so confusion.
She didn’t doubt Sophia’s ability to succeed in her rebellion; after all, it was a foregone conclusion.
The Pure White Witch commanded the Revelation Battle Group, a top battle group, while the guard strength of the God King Cathedral…
Forget it, let’s not ntion it. Considering that the two of them were chatting openly right under the eyes of those patrolling guards without being exposed, can you really count on these guards, nearly all composed of young noblewon?
To be honest, Dorothy thought she could probably solo this dungeon herself, not to ntion Sophia, who had a top battle group at her disposal.
Logically, as the Ancestral Court of the Angel Witch, the God King Cathedral, originally the holy land in the hearts of all Angel Witches, should be most heavily guarded.
In fact, if you go back tens of thousands of years, it might have been true, but now…
We can only say that being a guard at the God King Cathedral is a cushy job: good pay, light workload, close to ho, high position with little responsibility.
If it were during warti when the God King Cathedral faced constant danger, no one would dare to ddle with the selection of its guards. Back then, it was truly tough to be a guard.
But the God King Cathedral is right next to the Witch Academy, which is in the central hub of the Witch World.
It’s not far from the capital, Pandora City; you could say it’s right under the feet of the Third King. How could there be any security issues here?
Clearly, it’s highly unlikely, so the God King Cathedral’s guards are more of a decoration; they almost never have the opportunity to take action.
Thus, this cushy job naturally tempts many to reach for it, especially since the Angel Witches residing in the God King Cathedral are almost all nobility of the God King Sect.
Even though the Witch World is a warlike culture and the witches nearly all take pride in joining the military, desiring to establish themselves on the battlefield and rise above others.
The most eager to enlist are still those lower-class civilian witches. After all, you wouldn’t expect those young noblewon who were born with everything to have the drive and awareness to abandon their vast inheritance and risk their lives on the battlefield, would you?
Moreover, it’s really not easy for witches to have offspring. Most witch families have only one or two children, and even if the children want to go to the battlefield, the parents may not agree.
After all, on the real battlefield, swords and spears are blind. If sothing happens, what then? They have only one heir, and if they’re gone, who will inherit the vast estate that they fought for all their lives?
While there is an Underworld System to krypton gold for resurrection, the expensive resurrection fee may not seem like much to the great nobility, but it’s a significant expense for those of only moderate power.
Not that they couldn’t afford it, but this expense seems unnecessary.
After all, the Witch World today is no longer an era where you can only rise through battle rit.
Even in military service, isn’t there a difference between the Investigation Corps and the Military Police Brigade?
Compared to the Investigation Corps, who risk their lives on the front lines just to earn a living, the Military Police Brigade, responsible for guarding important persons or locations, offers much better benefits and opportunities for advancent, and it’s much safer.
Therefore, the Military Police Brigade naturally becos the best choice for the privileged youths.
Even though the threshold for the Military Police Brigade is generally higher, requiring elites, there’s no wall that doesn’t have a crack. As long as the nobility who are well-connected oil the wheels a little, their daughters will surely find it easier to get through.
Besides, the children of the nobility start with a higher talent baseline and better educational resources compared to ordinary witches. In these nominal assessnts, they already hold a significant advantage.
After all, even though the flowers in the greenhouse are not as resilient as wildflowers, you have to admit that those delicate flowers do indeed look pretty.
The guards of the God King Cathedral fit the standard profile of the Military Police Brigade.
Perhaps in earlier years, the nobility didn’t dare to be so blatant, and even if they inserted people, it was in small numbers. But as these tens of thousands of years of peace passed, with everyone inserting a little here and there, the guard positions have long been entirely divided among the nobility.
Alas, even the strongest of witches still have a human heart, and the human heart can never be absolutely rational. How many people can truly achieve a heart absolutely fair and just, free of selfish motives?
Mortals fall to corruption and greed; witches are no different.
The Dragon Witches have a strong beastly nature. Their greedy nature leaves them never content with the status quo, continuously striving and boldly exploring.
The Demon Witches, who control desire, understand the terror of such power better than anyone else. Though they may seem indulgent, in truth they are the most restrained, with the highest resistance to desire.
But the Angel Witches…
A noble faith can surely strengthen the soul and resist desire, but what if the faith goes astray?
Once faith deviates, it becos the most extre desire.
Just as an angel falling into a Fallen Angel becos the highest tier demon, faith and desire can naturally convert into one another; they are two sides of the sa coin.
