Chapter 3107: The Era of Change
Iluna left the church with the excuse that "something in the forest is calling me" and squinted her eyes at the witches. Then she said to the little princess and the elves:
"In fact, whether it's for men or women, being too tall is not an advantage. There is a standard golden height for humanoid creatures, and being around that height is considered excellent."
Ajelina and Emilia nodded together. Iluna was the tallest among the three, but she was still a little inferior to the tall witches. Even the shortest Flora was a head taller than her.
"But Emilia, it's a shame you couldn't keep growing taller."
The little princess felt sorry for her friend, and the pointy-eared elf girl felt sorry too:
"Yes, although I can control my growth now, it is not a normal state after all."
"So Emilia, how far into the future is it for you? Normally how long would it take you to grow to that size?"
Iluna asked curiously while holding the wine glass. Emilia thought for a moment:
“Normally it takes about 40 to 50 years. Although I am considered an adult now, unlike humans, elves still have a long period of growth after adulthood.
And after returning home today, the adults said that my bloodline can be considered as the ancient golden elves, and they have a longer lifespan and a longer growth period. It will probably take me a very, very long time to really grow up. Of course, it is more likely that my age has completely stagnated because of the world tree, and it will be difficult for me to continue to grow if the tree does not die. "
Iluna expressed regret for this. Ajelina wanted to comfort her, but suddenly realized something -
"Emilia, although she is like this now, she will definitely grow up to be very beautiful. But last time I asked her to help me see what I will look like in the future, she said I..."
So there was one more girl feeling unhappy at the scene.
Sister Develin did not come to the party, but Shade went to visit her with Miss Danister before the party. Grace and Helen liked such a party very much, but most girls were a little afraid of them, but they had a good chat with Miss Elizabeth.
Xia De was asked to speak a few words before the banquet. Although the words about "unity", "victory" and "new challenges" were boring, he knew it was necessary.
Therefore, without any preparation, he gave an impromptu speech for about ten minutes, and was later commented by Karina, "I always thought you were a talented orator."
Taking advantage of the fact that the eight great witches were present at the same time, Grandma Cassandra called everyone together shortly after the banquet began. She said that she had something to discuss with everyone, and even asked all the witch apprentices to participate.
In addition to the great witches, their followers also attended the banquet. Seeing that their masters had gathered on the sofas in the rest area, they all consciously stayed away from this area.
Shade was also invited to participate in this conversation. When the eight great witches and the six witch apprentices, Tifa, Miss Swift, Little Miss Aurora, Margaret, Miss Bell, and Matilda, were all present, Granny Cassandra, who was sitting in the middle of the couch, said:
"I have been thinking about something since last year. I should mention this to you after the Battle of Vista Forest. I am considering stepping down as the Great Witch and letting Rita take over."
Everyone was shocked, and Miss Swift, who was standing behind the sofa, was even more surprised:
"Teacher, why do you say that?"
The old witch shook her head and told her not to speak, and signaled others not to interrupt:
“I am the oldest among you, and in normal peacetime, I am able to sit in this seat to provide help and advice to you young girls, and to assist the Speaker in handling matters.
But now is the war time, no matter for ordinary people or extraordinary people, my physical strength and energy are not enough to support me to better bear the responsibilities given by this seat. "
She paused for a moment, and the frown made the wrinkles on her face more obvious:
"After this battle in Vista Forest, I really felt that I was getting old. I wanted to wait a few years to let Rita grow up before proposing this to the Speaker, but now it seems that I can't wait any longer.
Rita was just promoted to the sixth ring this summer, which is considered average among this generation of witch apprentices. The power instilled by the ritual of becoming a great witch will probably allow her to reach the ninth level directly, and you will need to take care of her when the time comes.
But the battlefield always makes people grow. I believe in my apprentices, and I believe in you too."
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Xiwei spoke up:
"Mother-in-law, we all believe in Miss Swift's excellence, but now is not the time for you to 'retire'. Not all great witches have to go to the battlefield. As the war expands, logistics also need someone to support the front. We can't always have Miss Elither's help."
Megan agreed:
"Mother-in-law, Audrey and I have sorted out the changes in seats in the Witch Council since the Sixth Era. The last time a seat was passed down was not because the previous Great Witch died, was seriously injured and difficult to recover, or had a significant decline in spellcasting ability. It was around the year 1200 of the Universal Calendar.
In this era, only great witches are allowed to exist, and other witches are not allowed to appear. If you give up your position, it is equivalent to giving up your power and witch identity. Although I don’t want to say this, I am afraid you will not live for a few years if you do this. Even if we agree, the Speaker will not agree. "
Then he winked at Xia De, indicating that Xia De should also help persuade him, and Xia De said:
"Granny, an organization cannot be without someone with enough experience like you. This generation of witches is still very young for various reasons."
The witches found this sentence very useful.
"So your presence is even more necessary to prevent the women in the parliament from going down the wrong path. The experience and wisdom of the elderly have always been useful to an organization. Miss Swift becoming a member of parliament can certainly add fresh blood to the parliament, but in my opinion, the current members are 'fresh' enough."
He looked at Sylvia again:
"I think one young girl like this is enough in the parliament. There is no need for any younger girls for the time being."
The young black-haired witch raised an eyebrow at Xia De, but among the witches, she was the only one who was younger than the outsider thought she was, which was also her biggest advantage.
After Shad finished speaking, he gave Miss Swift an apologetic look, and the latter shook her head to indicate that it was okay.
"Teacher, I am not qualified to inherit your position yet. I am far from having that status."
She also said this after Shade finished speaking:
"Please at least wait until I become a high-level warlock before considering this matter. You love me so much, please continue to help me move forward."
The unanimous opposition of the crowd also made the old witch helpless. If this matter wanted to be passed in the parliament, in addition to the consent of the Speaker, at least half of the votes of all members would be required.
Now that there are seven votes against it, there is no need for her to mention it in parliament.
Mother-in-law Cassandra could also see that her topic made everyone feel a little bad, so after making sure that she would not get any support, she asked everyone to continue enjoying the party and she would think about the matter carefully later.
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the long table with food, and Miss Swift hurriedly followed. The others had no choice but to stand up. Bella, who was sitting next to Shade, poked Shade:
"You see, in this era of change, everyone is seeking change."
"The fortune teller is saying something that no one can understand again."
Flora on the side said with a smile, and the countess didn't care:
"This war will change many things in the future. Although no one can tell exactly what it means now, it will definitely become a major turning point in the history of the Sixth Era."
When Shade came to Emilia, Luvia was already chatting with the elf.
Tonight, Luvia wore a dark blue velvet evening gown with delicate gold embroidery on the cuffs and hem, a high collar with pearl trim, and a silk belt around the waist, outlining her elegant curves.
Shade had never seen Luvia in this dress, but it looked really good. However, Emilia seemed very restrained in front of such a beautiful Luvia. When Shade walked over to them, the elf breathed a sigh of relief, although she herself didn't know why she was afraid of Luvia.
"What are you talking about?"
Shade asked while holding a glass of red wine, and Luvia joked to Emilia:
"Don't be fooled by the fact that Shad is holding red wine now. When Dorothy and I first met him, he only drank grape juice at banquets."
After that, he answered Xia De's question:
"Emilia has now become the Chosen One, and I am explaining things to her about the Chosen One. Although the professors at St. Byron's will also tell her about these things, this is our tradition, and..."
The purple-eyed girl raised an eyebrow at Shade and said in front of Emilia:
"And I want to make sure that the chosen ones are still on our side this time."
Luvia did talk to the chosen ones in person every time, and after the Battle of Moon Bay in the summer, she even went to Spider Alley to meet Mr. Albert in person.
"I'm on Shad's side, and I'll listen to whatever he says."
The blonde elf immediately raised his hand and spoke, as if he was being asked a question by the teacher in class.
Luvia couldn't help but shook her head:
"If you say that, it will make us seem like we are actually a group of villains. But it's good that you have this idea, Emilia. When you lay on Shade's lap on the throne early this morning, I knew you were a very reliable girl."
Emilia blushed slightly, not sure if it was because of the compliment or because that incident was brought up again.
