Just a magical girl who picks up trash

13. Opening

Ye Lina, the current master of the Witch Tower... I think so. Due to the mysterious relationship of the Witch Tower itself, the current masters don't know much about the information about the Witch Tower. The only thing we know is that although it seems that every master of the Witch Tower will be replaced with the passage of time, for some reason they always use a few fixed names.

It is said that in order to conform to the inexplicable tradition of the so-called "immortal magical girl", the inheritors from the Witch Tower are basically named after the first generation of magicians such as "Huanbing", "Jiuyue" and "Yelina" who can be found in almost all history books.

Perhaps the difference in name represents the difference in inheritors, and the person in charge of this Witch Tower is undoubtedly the woman who has silently sat in front of everyone at this moment: Ye Lina!

Her gorgeous long hair seemed to have been specially rendered into a brilliant golden color, and her slender figure was fully exposed to everyone as she sat in an unrestrained posture like a queen. Her slightly tight dark red magic robe just covered her body while revealing her perfect curves.

To be honest, the moment a person attracts the attention of everyone present, almost all the men's eyes are focused on the other person's figure rather than other places.

Of course, this kind of attention only lasted for a moment. After all, no matter how beautiful a woman was, it was not the time to indulge in her in the current situation. Immediately after seeing the other party come out, the atmosphere of the entire scene seemed to fall into a state of depression after a brief silence. The nine tower masters all looked at Ye Lina who was sitting in the first seat, and even the two tower masters who were originally there to watch looked over.

Although no one spoke at this moment, the meaning of everyone present was very clear... that is, to let the other party give an answer that satisfies them according to the previous order.

Ye Lina naturally saw the answer and gave it. Unfortunately, this answer was obviously not what everyone present wanted... No, it's better to say that this was not an answer at all, because in response to everyone's solemn and serious gaze, Ye Lina's answer was:

"I gave the order. If you're not convinced, hold it in!"

The girl's smile was filled with arrogance, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to provoke everyone. As soon as these words came out, the entire conference hall seemed to fall into silence at that moment, until a long, long time...

"Om~~~"

Invisible magic power surged from all directions in an instant, and all kinds of complex magic elements enveloped the entire conference hall in an instant. From the gloomy faces of those tower masters, one could undoubtedly see the mood of these people at the moment.

Arrogant, too arrogant, the kind of arrogance that made them look like they were not taken seriously at all... There was no need for any extra words or dialogue. Even the 'Silver' on the side couldn't help but sigh. The words that Ye Lina said when she appeared on the stage instantly ignited the originally suppressed fire in the entire conference hall... No, it was better to say that she tore the original disguise mask apart.

When the mask was torn, the sharp fangs were naturally exposed. At that moment, all eyes were fixed on Ye Lina's smiling face. One of the tower masters sitting at the edge said in a tone that was not sure whether it was a smile of anger or full of disdain:

"What a Witch Tower! How stoic! As the administrator of the Demon Realm, the ruler of the Twelve Towers, this person is so arrogant!"

Anyone could tell from the sneering words that it was a sarcastic remark, but Ye Lina, instead of feeling ashamed, nodded slightly with pride.

"Well, since you also know that my Witch Tower is the ruler of the Twelve Towers, then things will obviously be easier... I give orders, and you obey. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that, right?"

He said this with a smile and in a matter-of-fact tone, and at first glance it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it... but that was strange!

"If your decision harms the interests of the Demon Realm, should we still comply?"

Another relatively calmer voice came from the other side. The Taurus Tower Master, dressed in bright yellow, looked at Ye Lina with a gloomy gaze, and said in a low voice with a hint of oppression:

"The crusade against Tianyu City would not only demonstrate the strength of the Demon Realm, but if we could obtain the magical power used by the 'Magical Girls Squad' in Tianyu City, it would not only enhance the Demon Realm's strength, but would also provide a way to fight against the mysterious silver. This would undoubtedly be a hundred-fold benefit to the Demon Realm, and yet, at the critical moment, you halted all these actions with a single order..."

This was undoubtedly a very frustrating thing for them, because the order came too suddenly, and it was the master of the Twin Towers who directly bypassed all of them and issued the order using the Witch Tower as an order. Therefore, when the master of the Ninth Tower found out, it was obviously too late. After the Alliance learned that the Demon Realm "would not participate", they set off on their own.

If they want to continue to participate at this time, it will obviously not only cause dissatisfaction among the various forces that are trying to get a bigger piece of the pie, but the prestige of the Demon Realm in the alliance will undoubtedly undergo tremendous changes. This is obviously a loss-making thing for them.

Originally, everything was clearly planned well, but the series of changes ultimately stemmed from the sudden intervention of the Witch Tower. This sudden and brilliant move had put the Nine Towers in a dilemma. This was precisely why they were gathered here today, so...

"We need an explanation, an explanation that convinces us, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, you're going to impeach the Witch Tower and then join forces with other tower masters to remove the Witch Tower from the Mage Tower list on the charge of 'endangering the development of the Demon Realm'. And hand over the magical heritage within it and incorporate it into your other Mage Towers, right?"

"..."

Ye Lina took over the other person's unfinished words with a smiling tone. That nonchalant look undoubtedly made the Taurus Tower Master frown and finally nodded without saying a word... The result Ye Lina said was exactly right. It would be better to say that this was also the purpose of their coming here. After all, if they could just take down the Witch Tower that was pressing on their heads, it would undoubtedly be a good compensation for them.

14.Witch Tower

Of course, thoughts are thoughts, and reality is reality. Listening to Ye Lina's nonchalant tone, saying what could be considered the worst possible outcome for her, the Taurus Tower Master was almost certain that the other party must have some reason or card to convince them. If that was the case, perhaps he would listen...

"If I were to explain it...it's very simple!"

Before he could even guess what Ye Lina's answer would be, Ye Lina smiled at everyone present and said, her words in a casual tone plunged the entire place into silence and... astonishment:

"The reason for not allowing you to attack Tianyu City is simple, because Tianyu City is on our side... No, it should be said that the Witch Tower itself is affiliated with Tianyu City. The reason for asking the Demon Realm to withdraw from the alliance is also very simple: the alliance is no match for Tianyu City, let alone Silver. Therefore, I don't want to join such a force that is bound to be wiped out just to seek death!"

The smiling reply was like a meteorite that struck everyone's heart. In an instant, the serious, angry, disdainful, cold, and even murderous gazes directed at Ye Lina were transformed into shock and disbelief...

Wait, wait, wait... The Witch Tower is part of Tianyu City? What's going on? Why don't they know about this incident? And the Alliance is no match for Tianyu City and that silver thing? How is that even possible?!

The alliance was composed of the most powerful forces in the entire continent. For them, it was natural for such a force to overthrow a small city, and there was no possibility of failure. However, Ye Lina said this now... and that Baiyin... Well, considering Baiyin's strange ability, it seemed that this point could be believed.

But this is too much!

Shocked eyes immediately turned to Ye Lina, who was sitting at the head of the table, as if trying to tell from her face that what she had just said was just a joke. However, even though Ye Lina was indeed laughing at that moment, her expression and eyes clearly didn't convey the slightest hint of a joke. Which meant this was... real?!

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Bang~~~"

The scorching flames slammed heavily onto the table the next second, and a figure in red clothes stood up from her seat. The fiery red magic power instantly spread throughout her body, and the huge air wave blew up the hood on her head, revealing the face of a woman that was gorgeous but a little hideous.

"The Witch Tower, the Holy Tower that has been passed down for a thousand years in the Demon Realm, is under the jurisdiction of Tianta City? Are you kidding me? I think it's you guys who are now in charge of the Witch Tower who have infiltrated from Tianyu City, the lawless ones who are trying to split our Demon Realm!"

The words were questioning, but in an affirmative tone, the murderous intent was no longer concealed. As soon as these words were spoken, there was no doubt that everyone's eyes were filled with suspicion and hostility when they looked at Ye Lina again.

Although the words of the woman in red may be a little far-fetched, if you think about it carefully, if what Ye Lina just said is true, then the other party's words also make sense!

The Witch Tower belongs to Tianyu City. At first glance, it sounds like the Witch Tower has belonged to Tianyu City from the very beginning. But Tianyu City was only established a few years ago? And the Witch Tower is like an ancient ruler of the Demon Realm, a thousand-year-old legacy. And now you're suddenly saying that this thousand-year-old behemoth is the subordinate of a tiny city that just spoke out a few days ago... Who could accept that?

And if what the other party was referring to was not the Witch Tower from the beginning, but only that the current person in charge of the Witch Tower was from Tianyu City, then it is obviously very easy to explain: Tianyu City sent people to sneak into the Demon Realm a long time ago, and then relied on various conspiracies that basically made everyone in the scene imagine tens of thousands of things, and finally became the person in charge of the Witch Tower.

If this is true, then when the other party saw the major forces encircling Tianyu City, they finally had no choice but to rebel, stopping the Demon Realm's actions at the critical moment and relieving a lot of pressure for their master (Tianyu City).

After pondering this idea, the nine tower masters who immediately understood the truth and even the other two tower masters looked at Ye Lina with the same look of surprise, doubt and a little hostility.

However, Yin, the tower master who was blocking the twin towers, just sat there quietly without any reaction, as if all the arguments she heard at this moment had nothing to do with her. Although her eyes were open, no one could tell what she was thinking from those calm eyes... Well, maybe Ye Lina could see a little bit!

He wasn't thinking about anything, he was just standing there in a daze!

She rolled her eyes silently and complained in her heart, but was naturally ignored by Yin. Seeing that the hatred in front of her seemed to be high enough, Ye Lina thought that if she didn't come up with some useful information, these people might really regard her as an 'undercover agent from Tianyu City who infiltrated the Demon Realm' and take action.

Although she is not afraid of taking action, it is obviously better not to take action. If she accidentally kills a few people, then there will be no one to help manage the size of the Demon Realm in the future, right?

She thought so in her heart, but it was obvious that if Ye Linna's idea was heard by the tower masters in front of her whose hostility was growing stronger and stronger... they would probably attack without saying a word and fight to the death, right?

"Witch Tower Master... No, Ye Lina, we need a reasonable explanation!"

It was still the Taurus Tower Master who said this in a lowered tone, but Ye Lina looked at him speechlessly.

Explanation? What explanation? Was I unclear? Or are your explanations incomplete? Everything is so clear... what else do you need to say?

"Do you know...what is the full name of the Witch Tower?"

After thinking about it, Ye Linna could only ask such a confusing question helplessly, and before they could answer, she had already introduced herself:

"Its full name is: Magic... Maiden Tower!"

15. Caught Off Guard

Thousands of years ago, after finally separating from Yu Huan, with the power of the contract left by Yu Huan, Ye Lina joined forces with Huan Bing and Jiu Yue to restore the Demon Realm that was somewhat fragmented due to the destruction of Bai Yin, and re-gathered the remaining combat power to establish a new Mage Tower system.

Because the empire was completely destroyed in that battle, adhering to the concept of respecting the strong and the status of the Mage Tower in the hearts of mages and the poor, it was natural that the Twelve Mage Towers became the ruling force at that time.

The Magical Girls Tower...also known as the Witch Tower, became a 'savior' because of the tower master Yu Huan (who of course didn't know it). After the final decision, it became the so-called 'Tower Zero', with the power to secretly monitor the twelve towers and stand up to command the twelve towers at critical moments.

After all, almost all the survivors of the Mage Tower at that time were rescued by Yu Huan and others. In addition, after witnessing Yu Huan's powerful strength, whether it was the fear in their hearts or the grace of saving their lives, in short, it was under these various blessings that they finally agreed to such a system, and the Witch Tower was established.

Then, due to the special relationship between Shengyin and Shi Lei, it was natural that Shengyin should be placed in the Witch Tower for the safest purpose. However, considering that Shengyin's existence was too similar to Baiyin, to the extent that it was very likely to arouse suspicion from others, after discussion, it was finally decided to open a new tower, perhaps because it was felt that Shengyin was too easily exposed in the Witch Tower.

That's right, that's the Twin Towers: Mizumeng, who has become a magical girl, serves as the tower master, while Shi Lei and Sheng Yin naturally become its subordinates, hiding in the newly established Twelve Towers, and a thousand years have passed like this.

A thousand years is an extremely long time. Because of the Yuhuan Contract, the girls have undoubtedly gained nearly eternal life and inexhaustible magic power. They can be said to be the true rulers of the Demon Realm in secret. However, it is obvious that neither Shi Lei, Shui Meng, Jiuyue, Ye Lina, nor the others care much about this status.

Because they don't care, they don't pay attention. And it is also because of this lack of attention that the various wizard towers have continued to develop over the past thousand years. Countless wizards have been constantly entering and exiting the barrier to reach the outside, countless relics and new magic have been discovered, the scavenger alliance in the ruins, Tianta City and other forces have been constantly bordering the Demon Realm. Under these circumstances, the times have undoubtedly begun to change little by little.

These changes were secretly observed by several immortal girls, and undoubtedly they were all seen by them. However, they obviously had no intention of stopping or participating in them.

The Demon Realm has its own development. If it really rules forever according to the ideas of some immortals, then in the end it will only lead to two results: either it will remain unchanged under the unchanging rule, or it will be overthrown or cause a riot.

Obviously, neither of these two options is what Ye Lina and the others want, not to mention that only they know that thousands of years in the distant future, the Silver that almost destroyed the entire Demon Realm will make a comeback, and with a strength far more powerful than it is now.

The barrier of the Demon Realm is the last protection before Yu Huan leaves, and it is also the biggest means to hinder Baiyin in the past thousand years. However, this does not mean that this barrier can make them rest assured forever. Therefore, in the eyes of the girls, allowing the Demon Realm to develop freely is undoubtedly the best way to unleash its potential.

Based on this idea, over the past thousand years, although they would occasionally appear in front of people as the heirs of the Twin Towers or the inheritors of the Witch Tower, etc. to maintain their identities, they tacitly went back to interfere with the actions of the Demon Realm. This is why they gradually came to be known as "mascots".

Of course, calling it a mascot doesn’t mean that the Witch Tower is really a so-called mascot!

Now, after sensing the unusual movement of Baiyin, and more importantly, hearing about the existence of 'Tianyu City', the people who had been silent for a thousand years immediately realized: Change... has arrived!

Time, which had been silent for a thousand years, began to turn quietly. The gears that had stopped temporarily because of someone's departure began to be reassembled bit by bit, and all this reached its peak a few days ago: Shi Lei and Shui Meng took Sheng Yin to accept Yu Huan's "invitation" and went to another mirror universe to solve the problem of Bai Yin's half body in that universe. At the same time, Liu Shou, Ye Lina and others who were here also understood... the time has come!

What time?

Naturally, it is the time for the reunion that I had agreed with Yu Huan and... the time to launch a counterattack against Bai Yin!

Baiyin's riot was due to the formulation of his own plan and the reunion with his target, and at the same time, its exposure this time was undoubtedly the best time to eliminate... or weaken Baiyin. Although Baiyin did not know how to deceive the alliance and put Tianyu City in an absolutely hostile situation, Ye Lina and others who had fully experienced the power of the "Demon King" a thousand years ago believed it 100%. Not to mention an alliance, even if there were ten... they would definitely not be Yuhuan's opponents!

In view of this idea, Ye Lina and others originally wanted to find an opportunity to let the Witch Tower be reborn, and then take over everything in the Demon Realm and join forces with Tianyu City to clear out the Silver.

And in their minds, this so-called "takeover" is actually only temporary. After all, none of them has the ambition to rule the Demon Realm. If Ye Lina and others wanted to, they could have done it a thousand years ago. However, instead of doing so, it would be better to find a house in Tianyu City and live there, where they can live a carefree life.

With this in mind, Ye Lina and the others, who had originally planned well, were about to take action when the sudden news caught them off guard:

The Alliance has decided to declare war on Tianyu City, and the Demon Realm... has also joined in?!

Meow? What the hell?

Are you going to attack Tianyu City... looking for death?!

To be honest, this was the first reaction of Ye Lina, Jiuyue and others after hearing the news!

16. It’s time to go

Of course, Ye Lina and others have no right to care whether these people in the alliance are seeking death or not, but the Demon Realm is where they were born and raised. Even if they don't mention the contract between themselves and Yu Huan and the relationship between their daughter (granddaughter) and Yu Huan, just based on their understanding of Yu Huan's strength, joining the alliance and opposing Tianyu City is basically no different from seeking death.

Besides, even if the Alliance could defeat Tianyu City, what would it matter?

Obviously, Huanbing and others who participated in the battle a thousand years ago are very clear about it. In front of Baiyin, who can swallow almost anything, the so-called magicians with powerful magic can't even fight back. All their magic will end up being eaten. It can be said that in Baiyin's eyes, each magician is a large mobile energy recharge pack.

This is also the fundamental reason why Yu Huan used a barrier to wrap up the Demon Realm. If there was no such barrier, all the magicians in the Demon Realm would have been eaten up by Bai Yin as snacks in the past thousand years!

Only Tianyu City can deal with Baiyin... or in other words, only the power of the "contractor" after being strengthened by the system can do it. The owner of the system is Yu Huan, who is also the owner of Tianyu City. Even if Huanbing and others don't know that Yu Huan already has a whole mechanical planet with mechanical race's "sisters" as candidates, there are countless worlds to choose from.

But at least one thing is clear: if you had used kind words to persuade me, it wouldn't have been impossible to obtain Yuhuan's system power, but you're trying to seize it by force under the banner of 'righteousness'?!

Who gave you the courage?!

In the end, out of the thought of "Even though you are going to die, I can't just watch you die in vain", Huan Bing and others discussed and decided to use their own power. They directly and unilaterally rejected the alliance's action this time, and at the same time, they also wanted to directly remove the Demon Realm from this alliance.

I really can't think of any benefit from joining an alliance that we know is doomed to fail, other than wasting combat power!

Of course, all of these ideas were ultimately unilateral, coming from Huanbing and the others. Even rejecting the alliance and withdrawing from it were unilateral decisions. Perhaps the tower masters in the Demon Realm, unaware of the "inside story," would confidently say, "This is our decision, what's it got to do with you?" Honestly, Huanbing and the others couldn't refute that.

Although when the Mage Tower was rebuilt, the Magical Girl Tower was designated as the guardian and ruler of the twelve towers under Yuhuan's reputation, on the one hand, Yuhuan, the real hero, was not there, and on the other hand, they really did not want to rule the Mage Tower. Therefore, Ye Lina sat here today and directly confronted the tower masters.

In fact, according to Jiuyue and Huanbing's ideas, if they had a good discussion with these tower masters during this meeting and made clear all the interests, the other party would actually understand the reasons why they did so and agree with their ideas in various discussions. However, such an idea was directly rejected unilaterally by Ye Lina!

"You've all seen their intentions over the years. To put it bluntly, they want to bring down the Witch Tower and take control of the entire Demon Realm. To this end, they've even secretly contacted the Orcs. I don't believe you two don't know this."

Facing Jiuyue and Huanbing's expressions that seemed to be hesitant to speak, Ye Linna directly shut them up with one sentence:

"Hearing is believing, seeing is seeing. We know Xiao Huan's strength, but they may not believe it. Besides, since we have no intention of staying in the Demon Realm, how to develop and so on is their own business."

"Our unilateral action to stop their attack on Tianyu City is actually seen as meddling in their affairs. No matter how much you explain, they won't understand. Instead, they'll think we're cowards, trying to boost others' morale while diminishing our own... Don't doubt it, these little brats from a thousand years ago are incredibly confident right now!"

"So, leave this meeting... to me. I'll handle everything. All you need to do is simple... be prepared to completely delegate power!"

That's right, they completely delegated their power. In other words, as the "guardians", they must return to their own place: Tianyu City. The reason they stayed here was on the one hand because of Shi Lei and Sheng Yin, and on the other hand to wait for Yu Huan's return. Now Sheng Yin, Shi Lei and others have gone to the mirror universe, and Tianyu City has been officially born, so they naturally have nothing to worry about.

Stopping the Demon Realm from attacking Tianyu City can be considered as a selfish motive, and it is also the last bit of dissuasion for these forces in the Demon Realm who are seeking death. Of course, they are also very clear that such behavior will definitely be regarded as "cowardly" and "meddling", and will be impeached. In fact, even if there is no such opportunity, these arrogant tower masters in the Demon Realm must have been unable to bear the constant pressure of a Witch Tower on their heads, right?

Today's meeting was supposedly about seeking an explanation for the Tianyu City incident and the issue of issuing orders without consulting them. However, the Nine Towers Lord's most fundamental goal was actually clear to both Ye Lina and everyone present: to make the Witch Tower give up power... or abdicate!

Even if this incident had not happened, this meeting would have happened sooner or later and there would have to be other reasons. After all, unlike before, the participation of the Demon Realm in the alliance this time was actually a disguised way of showing the world its own existence and strength. It could be said to be a signal of its official rise during the disaster of Silver.

And under this signal, the control of the Demon Realm must be firmly in their own hands. Otherwise, if the Demon Realm becomes really big in the future, and they go out and say that they are the masters of the Mage Tower, they will end up telling others that they cannot control their own power like the masters of Tianta City, but are instead suppressed by a Witch Tower or something... Isn't that embarrassing?

"..."

In the huge conference room, everyone couldn't help but fall into a state of astonishment because of Ye Lina's words "Magical Girl Tower". Looking at those astonished eyes, followed by the brewing of certain emotions, Ye Lina's last bit of nostalgia for the Demon Realm finally completely disappeared.

"Looks like... it's time to leave!"

17.Dissolution

How can I put it... this campaign of calling for justice was very successful, but the so-called method of success was... not very pleasing to the tower masters present!

The original plan for the tower masters was to use threats and inducements to force the Witch Tower to step down from its position as the ruler of the Demon Realm, and then slowly and bit by bit weaken the other party's power and eventually replace it.
