Otaku Witch-Chapter 1439 - 788: The True Treasure

Hmm, after handing over the money and releasing the person, she immediately grabs them back and demands a second ransom.

Anyway, that Golden Lady is only powerful in the Golden Manor, but this Dragon Island is her territory.

Miss Black Dragon thought cunningly.

Hmm, all concessions are for greater benefits.

At this moment, she snorted coldly, then turned her head, too angry to look at this damned swindler anymore.

Dorothy didn’t bother with the cute Miss Black Dragon who, when angry, acts like a sulking elementary school student. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

She merely stepped forward and touched the two giant trees Miss Great Dragon brought back.

As she stroked them, the trees instantly began to dry at a speed visible to the naked eye, then automatically split into neat wooden boards, which were swiftly assembled into exquisite tables, chairs, beds, and other furniture.

Hmm, 100% pure solid wood furniture, mortise and tenon joints, with finely detailed carvings on the surface, they look high-level.

"Very good, now I don’t have to worry about sleeping on the floor."

Dorothy nodded, thinking with satisfaction.

Well, human-level simple Alchemy can only achieve a machinist-like level of processing.

If it were a witch’s Alchemy, she could actually decompose and reconstruct directly, which would be akin to 3D printing an integrated piece, with no wasted material, unlike now with all those leftover wood scraps.

But these scraps wouldn’t go wasted, Dorothy flicked her finger, and a tiny spark flew out, igniting the leftover wood into a campfire.

Then, she began to prepare the giant fish on the side.

This is a fish species unique to the Spirit World called "Terrifying Anglerfish."

It’s Dorothy’s first time seeing this fish, which represents the biological embodiment of deep-sea fear in the Spirit World, with a massive body. Mortals need a sanity check upon seeing it, and failing that would cause them to experience the pain of falling into the deep sea, followed by contracting heart’s wound of deep-sea phobia.

However, the Homebody Witch is more curious about the taste of this unique Spirit World fish. Her chef’s soul has already begun to stir.

Honestly, she didn’t have high hopes before; she just suddenly recalled that the sea in the Spirit World might have such special fish, so she briefly described the characteristics to Miss Black Dragon, asking her to try bringing one back.

It wasn’t a must, she only wanted something edible; unexpectedly, Miss Black Dragon actually brought it back. I’m moved, it’s unknown how long she spent in the sea searching, no wonder she was out for so long.

Mind you, if a Great Dragon only wants to fill its stomach, it can bring back a bunch of prey in a matter of minutes.

She looked at the still pouting Miss Black Dragon with gratitude, then pointed at the furniture she just made and spoke.

"Could you help me carry it to the cave?"

Hmm, it’s easy to go downhill, but uphill is difficult, especially since Flight Magic without items would deplete Magic Power that an ordinary Mage can’t handle.

Of course, she could choose to climb the mountain; with Featherfall Magic reducing weight combined with Martial God’s skills, climbing barehanded to the summit wouldn’t be hard.

But why climb when there’s such a handy flying dragon porter available?

"You..."

Miss Black Dragon was enraged once more, barely suppressing the urge to teach this audacious mortal a lesson.

Does this guy even understand her current situation? She is, after all, held hostage by a Great Dragon, her life at her mercy, how dare she...

"Ransom, ransom, don’t you want me to jump into the sea and drown right now?"

Dorothy pointed to the sea not far away and said.

Miss Black Dragon: "......."

She didn’t believe that someone who jumped from such a high cliff without being crushed would easily drown, but for the upcoming ransom to be foolproof, she decided to endure.

Hmm, tally the score now, and settle it all once the ransom is in hand.

At this moment, she snorted furiously, breathing out two white puffs, then lifted the furniture with her Dragon Claw and flew off to the mountain top.

Of course, despite her anger, she was quite careful when carrying the furniture; after all, it was exquisite, and she rather liked it.

Hmm, this furniture is part of Miss Black Dragon’s wealth now; it mustn’t be damaged.

Plus, maybe tomorrow she should find more wood and have that person make furniture matching Great Dragon dimensions.

Okay, that seems a bit too much, better turn into human form later. Despite disliking the weak human shape, if it helps better appreciate her treasures, it’s pretty good occasionally.

Miss Black Dragon thought.

After flying back and forth several times to transport all the furniture, she had just returned to the bottom of the mountain when a delightful aroma flooded her nostrils.

"Oh...."

In her entire life, Miss Black Dragon never smelled anything so good, and as a Great Dragon, she has always found her appetite uncontrollable.

At this point, she practically floated over following the aroma and saw the vile swindler grilling fish.

"Hehe, well done, dinner’s almost ready, would you like some?"

Dorothy warmly invited.

Miss Black Dragon: "....."

Not a punctuation mark of this swindler’s words can be trusted. Oh, proud Great Dragons, don’t lower your lofty heads in the face of food temptation!

She firmly thought.

Yes, yes, this swindler probably poisoned the fish, surely scheming an escape.

Then a second later.

"Yes."

The cheerful Dragon Roar rang out.

"Haha..."

Dorothy watched the colossal creature with a wagging tail akin to a dog’s eagerly squatting by the campfire, and couldn’t help but shake her head with a laugh.

Ah, what a waste of her high-cool domineering dragon appearance; it’s the appearance of a cat but the heart of a dog.

And you wish to be a successful bandit?

The Homebody Witch thought this silly Great Dragon could easily be sold and still help count the money.

Forget it, best not to bully honest kids, it’ll bring bad karma.

With loving eyes, she gazed at the silly Miss Great Dragon, and affectionately placed almost the entire giant Terrifying Anglerfish before her.

Hmm, as a mortal, she eats little; one small piece of fish is enough to satiate her. The leftovers were intended for Miss Great Dragon.

Well then, consider it rent; she didn’t want to be the despicable witch occupying dragon’s nest without paying rent, as lamented in the dragon blood tear posts.

Of course, Miss Black Dragon was pleased, with food before her, she didn’t think much and immediately buried her whole dragon face into the fish belly, starting to feast.

With one bite, she was almost moved to tears.

Ah, living for hundreds of years, only today does one know what eating truly is; in comparison to this delicious grilled fish, what was she eating all those times?

This is what the great dragon ought to eat.

Miss Black Dragon only wished today’s fish were larger, hmm, she should catch a bigger fish tomorrow.

While she voraciously devoured, she thought so.

Watching Miss Black Dragon’s terrifying eating manner, Dorothy couldn’t help but laugh too.

As a chef, there’s nothing more joyful than seeing guests enjoy your culinary skills.

However, she still laughingly advised,

"Eat slowly, nobody’s competing for it, savoring the fish makes it tastier."

Miss Black Dragon heard this, hesitated, not yet forgiving this big swindler, wanting not to heed, but upon slowing down, she really could taste the fish’s deliciousness more thoroughly.

Alright then, occasionally this big swindler speaks truth.

She thought.

......

Meanwhile, in the Golden Manor, this once stunning manor had now transformed into a giant Alchemy Workshop.

Numerous gem maids and metal servants were diligently forging, while in the center of the workshop, a gigantic ship was slowly taking shape.

Senior Mia, face cold, commanded the servants to build this Golden Boat.

Remember, the Golden Country not only possesses wealth to rival nations but also unparalleled Golden Alchemy.

Although she wasn’t as monstrously skilled as her beloved, who could single-handedly craft battleships, the Earth Mother Goddess’s Golden Country inherently equated with war fortresses as mighty as Witch Battleships.

Once this moving Golden Boat is cast, it will mark the death of the vile Black Dragon daring to lay hands on the little fairy.

I’m coming, Little Fairy, I’ll rescue you soon.

.... Senior brimming with murderous intent.....
