House Witch

Chapter 730 729. Phantom Thief Jack

"Prait thief? Are there any phantom thieves in the city lately?"

Dorothy raised her head in surprise and looked at the two local witches, Madeleine and Audrey, opposite her, and asked with curiosity in her eyes.

At this time, their group rode the White Dragon Battleship through the Witch Academy to the large portal of Venus City, and had already arrived outside Venus City, and then...

Then they were stuck in traffic, waiting in line to go through security.

Well, the traffic jam and queuing into the city project unique to first-tier cities is a must-try.

I remember when the otaku witch went to Witch Academy to report, she took Dragon Mother’s car, and all the way there were VIP passages. It was very fast and smooth all the way.

But now, there is no family crest hanging on their white dragon battleship, and there are no special passes or anything like that, so naturally they can only wait in line.

The succubus originally planned to contact the city gate guards and ask them to issue a special pass. This matter was just a matter of words for her status as the princess of Venus City.

But Dorothy stopped her.

Anyway, everyone had nothing to do today, so they just queued up slowly. This is a specialty item in a big city, so you must try it.

Moreover, the traffic jam is only relatively heavy, and it’s not to the point of being immobile. It’s estimated that we can get into the city smoothly after queuing for about half an hour, so there’s really no need to be in such a hurry.

Well, it was definitely not because of the White Dragon Battleship's high rate of turning around along the way. The envious and jealous looks of the other passers-by witches on both sides or the random flashing of various photo-taking spells made her feel a little carried away.

Absolutely not.

How could she, Dorothy, be the kind of person who likes to be high-profile and vain?

At most, it was similar to the fishermen who caught a giant fish and then walked through the house three times without entering, and ran around the village for more than ten times.

Well, this is just about sharing my joy and luck with others, it is not about vanity.

In terms of luxury, this White Dragon Battleship is far inferior to the Pegasus carriage that Dragon Mother almost gave her back then. The price of any of the eight Pegasus horses that pull the carriage is that of the White Dragon Battleship. Several times.

But when Dorothy was sitting in the carriage, she felt uncomfortable being watched. But in the White Dragon Battleship, when everyone was watching her, she felt that he was really awesome.

Well, maybe this is the difference between relying on your father and starting from scratch.

The feeling that everything I have now is achieved by my own hands and hard work is really wonderful.

In her previous life, Dorothy enjoyed this feeling when she took her precious figurines to comic exhibitions, and now others praise the White Dragon Battleship in the same way.

This child was designed and assembled by myself.

Facing the gazes of the passers-by witches around her, the otaku witch put her hands on her hips and raised her nostrils to the sky with pride, thinking so happily in her heart.

She took out her spell book, then logged into the local forum of Venus City, and then she searched on her own and quickly found several posts that had just been posted.

Well, it should have just been posted by the passerby witches who are also stuck in traffic outside.

[Vehicle enthusiasts: Wow, family, look what I found on the road, White Dragon Battleship photo.jpg]

[I’m the fastest at eating melons: Hey, am I dazzled? I actually saw a battleship stuck in a traffic jam, and a guy who could afford to drive this thing didn't even take the express lane. 】

[Battleship fanatic: emmmm, that’s outrageous. I’ve been looking at ships for hundreds of years, but I’ve never seen a battleship of this type. I’ll take two more pictures so I can take a closer look. 】

[Deck Cleaner: Don’t look at it. This thing is not a mass-produced model at first glance. It should be customized by the bosses. Damn boss, I also want to be on the ship. Are you looking for a cleaner? I can use it. The tongue cleans the plate. 】

[Battleship Engineer: Oh my god, this thing looks like a masterpiece at first glance. I saw the shadows of several legendary battleships on it. Wonderful, wonderful, a work of genius. Where did you see it, sir? I immediately Come. 】

[I’m really a big star: This is good, this is handsome, does anyone know which association this is produced by? I want to book one too, it’s not short of money. 】

Among a war race like the witch, the number of military fans is obviously immeasurable. As soon as these posts were posted, many melon-eating people swarmed in like sharks that smelled blood, and then had a good discussion. Wave discussion.

This scene also made Dorothy very satisfied, so she switched accounts without hesitation and opened a small account to help.

[Zhenhongzhichi: Get out of the way and let the professionals come. Let me take a look. Oh, the battleship looks like a product of a private workshop. It’s scary. In fact, it’s not worth mentioning. It’s just average. 】

[True Red: This battleship armor is actually made of building materials. If it is not qualified, I can do it. I just need to read the "Battleship Armor Synthesis Book", "Special Materials Alchemy Manual" and "Spirit Realm Painting Instructions" "The Witch of the Forest's Conjecture about Deep Dive into the Spirit World".]

[True Red: Look at this main cannon, it’s not up to standard. It’s only at the level of a land-sinking cannon. I think it’s better to add some materials to the world-destroying cannon. I just need to collect some abyssal iron, spiritual gold, dragon king jade, etc. Materials, combined with "The Witch of the Forest's Classic Fire Mechanics", "The Breath of World Destruction, So Said the Dragon King", "The Demon King's Annotated Edition of Energy Evocation Magic That Even Fools Can Learn".]

[True Red: This thruster is rubbish, and it can only fly at super-light speed.]

Dorothy wrote tens of thousands of words eloquently. She was a professional when she was her own little black child.

However, she didn't hide anything. She listed almost all the reference materials for making the White Dragon Battleship. As long as someone can read these materials carefully and understand them thoroughly, then it will not be a big problem to reproduce a White Dragon Battleship.

Well, this isn't that difficult in the first place, after all, the White Dragon Battleship is just a toy made of scraps of building materials. Its performance is only as good as the most rubbish ordinary battleship in "World of Warships". This thing is Doro Akane didn't even bother to take a second look in the game back then.

Alas, she only regretted the lack of materials, otherwise she really wanted to replace the cannons of the White Dragon Battleship and update it. She didn't expect to be a legendary battleship directly, but she still had to be at the level of a historical battleship.

In short, she felt comfortable picking her own faults, and wrote tens of thousands of words of eloquent evaluation, vividly expressing the essence of the keyboard king's guidance.

As for the name of the person and the shadow of the tree, relying on the influence of the True Red on the Magic Network, within a few minutes, all the true fans and little black people also arrived one after another. In minutes, these few posts reached tens of thousands of people. high-rise building.

[Phantom of the Opera: Master Ball Capture, but Sister Chi, only this time I cannot support your point of view. I think this battleship is OK. 】

[The Chi Family Army goes out: double the master ball to catch the boss and the phantom girl. 】

[True Black Black: Isn’t it outrageous enough that a strong-mouthed king knows how to build a hammer battleship with a pile of building materials to build a battleship with standard performance? What else is needed for a flying broomstick? 】

[Keyboard Warrior biss: That’s right, you keyboard warrior, I’ve tolerated you for a long time. Tell me your address and I’ll come to find you for an offline duel. 】

[Harmless Magician: I’m sure you’re not trying to send a bomb across thousands of miles. I heard your abacus beads in the Venus City Museum. 】

Anyway, the heat is on.

Dorothy herself didn't care much about this. She had already finished her fun and ran away, taking a look at other posts in Venus City. Her five lines of thinking were running at full speed, surfing at the speed of light.

It sounds like Xiaoliu is about to give birth, and her surfing efficiency will be improved by then.

But it can only be said that Venus City is worthy of being the capital of art and the base of the Witch World entertainment industry. This local forum is full of celebrity gossip, and all kinds of melons are enjoyable for the otaku witch, but they are not nutritious.

The only thing that made Dorothy a little curious was the news that topped the front page of the hot search list.

[Shuddering, Jack the Phantom Thief once again sent out a warning letter. This arrogant and domineering but never-missed thief targeted Venus City’s treasured cultural relic—the Demon King’s Love Letter. 】

She didn't expect that in this world of witches, there would be people playing the mysterious role of Phantom Thieves, as if they were suffering from secondary illnesses.

This kind of character was not uncommon in various art works in her previous life, and she was quite handsome.

But those are all phantom thieves in the mortal world, and it is difficult to be a phantom thief in a high-demon world like the witch world.

After all, magic is sometimes really unreasonable. No matter how good your stealing skills are or how secretive you are in hiding, a real boss will just use prophecy and not talk about any reasoning process. He will just catch you cheating. is you.

Just like mystery novels generally do not contain supernatural elements, in a world where there is a cheating power like magic, detectives who rely on reasoning to solve cases look like clowns.

Therefore, if you want to be a free phantom thief in this world, you must either be so skilled that others cannot catch you even if they have figured out your location, or you must have strong counter-prophecy abilities so that others cannot figure you out. .

No matter which possibility it is, it is exclusive to the boss anyway.

Well, so, those who can be a phantom thief in the witch world must start at the top with a guaranteed base, or even be a bored sage boss who is letting himself go.

Wow, you have to have some big guys who know how to play.

Dorothy thought back to the hype that she had just blackmailed herself, and then looked at the boss's trick of letting the whole world play with her, and decided to judge.

Damn it, she had to admit that she lost this time.

"Phantom Thief?"

Madeline and Audrey were stunned when they heard the House Witch's question. They quickly reacted and took out their spell books to read the hot search headlines.

"Wow, I didn't expect this Phantom Thief legend to be true. I always thought it was an urban legend. My sister and I were very fond of her when we were kids."

The little fox's eyes were bright and she seemed to find it very funny, while the fox puppet on her shoulder said this with excitement in her tone.

Not only Audrey, but also Madeline was also a little surprised. It seemed that she did not expect that this legend that she had heard since childhood actually appeared.

"Oh, Jack the Phantom Thief? I saw the opera Jack the Phantom Thief on the big stage when I was a kid."

Senior sister Mia on the side also joined the conversation, with a nostalgic expression on her face.

Dorothy: "."

Ah, why do you all know this? Am I the only country bumpkin who hasn’t seen it?

The otaku witch was trembling with anger. She was a girl from the 18th-tier countryside and had never seen the prosperity of a big city. Naturally, she didn't understand the trends in the big city.

Of course, she has been obsessed with studying all her life and has no time to watch these entertainment programs.

She turned her head and glanced at Lucy Fair beside her. To her delight, the fallen angel lady was also a little confused.

Okay, I know Sophilia didn't have time to watch these things before.

Dorothy was relieved to see that she was not the only country bumpkin who didn't understand art.

"What about Kaitou Jack? Is she famous?"

she asked curiously.

"Of course she is famous. She can even be regarded as the person who inspired Venus City to become a capital of art."

Audrey became very excited when she talked about this kind of thing. The little fox shook its big tail and her face was full of excitement. The little fox puppet on her shoulder also jumped on the table in front of everyone and started to tell.

"When Kaitou Jack first appeared, it was at the end of the Dragon King Era, the Demon King had not yet emerged, and Venus City was still the City of Night."

"At that time, in the City of Night, the Thirteen Clan of the Vampire Clan ruled the sky with one hand. They were the masters of the City of Night. This group of vampires often acted arrogantly and oppressed other demons and witches."

"But at that time, demons and witches were tabooed outside, and there was no other place to go except this Night City, so everyone had to endure it. Moreover, the vampires were so powerful at that time that others did not dare to resist."

"But at this moment, Kaitou Jack appeared. She sent a warning letter to the vampires, explaining that she wanted to steal the vampires' most precious treasure, the True Ancestor Blood Diamond."

"At first, no one took this notice seriously, but later the Blood Diamond, the True Ancestor of the Vampire Clan, was really stolen in front of everyone. The dashing Phantom Thief stole it in front of the whole city on a full moon night when the vampires are most powerful. On the other hand, he stole the True Ancestor Diamond placed on the Blood Moon Tower, and then floated away."

"The show-like theft damaged the prestige of the vampires and made everyone realize that vampires are not invincible, giving them the courage to resist."

"Later, the stolen True Ancestor Blood Diamond was given to the Werewolf Witches by Kaitou Jack. This led to the history of the Werewolf Witches overthrowing the tyranny of the blood clan and turning Night City into a free city of demons."

"It was also because of admiration for Jack the Phantom Thief's dashing figure that used the city as a stage to perform that everyone in Night City began to fall in love with performing."

"Well, I heard that the Demon King himself is a fan of Kaitou Jack."

Audrey's puppet was chatting.

But Dorothy sounded a little bored.

What, what age is this, why is there still such a third-rate script?

She thought to herself, then raised her head and looked out the window.

Through the porthole of the battleship, she saw a figure with a half-mask on his face, a black top hat on his head, and a black cloak behind his back, standing at the top of the city gate not far away.

At this moment, the two people just met each other's eyes, and each other could even see their own reflections in the other's dark eyes.

And this mysterious lady who looked like a strange thief winked at her, put her index finger up to her mouth, and shushed silently.

Then she took a leap of faith, jumped directly from the city gate, and disappeared.

House Witch: "."

She sat up suddenly and rubbed her eyes.

Oh my god, no, there really are monster thieves.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Dorothy's movement startled the others, and the sisters' eyes immediately turned to her.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little hungry. Let's go into the city quickly."

The otaku witch just frowned and said,

She smelled trouble, so she might as well slip away.

Dorothy is running away
