Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

Ye Qing hasn't started working on the hidden missions of Shadow City, Feilin, and the four major families yet. Just thinking about it makes him feel it's too troublesome.

"Another immersive mission like this? Well, let me take a look."

Ye Qing picked up the key and decisively took on the task.

A door opened in front of her, and the person who opened the door was a melancholy woman in a black robe.

The female figure in the black robe seemed to look back at Ye Qing, then stepped into the door.

The light gradually engulfed Ye Qing, and a strange world appeared before her eyes.

There are many legends in every village.

——Generally speaking, it is used to scare children.

For example, don't go to the lake after the sun goes down.

Don't open the locked door of an old house.

Don't go play on that side of the mountain.

Or maybe that person is a witch.

A historical taboo, a seeker of magic, or perhaps a handmaiden of the devil.

After the opening introduction, Ye Qing has already entered the character's first-person perspective.

Liz had heard this name many times, and it even woke her up from her dream once.

"You won't let me go even in your dreams?"

Getting up, washing up, and then studying the magic book is Liz's daily routine.

Thick curtains blocked out the sunlight, and slightly musty air dominated the space inside the cabin.

Along the wall was a row of low cabinets filled with complex brass machinery and glassware, which made a regular noise as if they were producing wooden parts of various shapes on an assembly line.

In the center of the room, a girl with emerald hair was lying on an old wooden desk, amidst a pile of heavy books. Her fair, slender hands were moving briskly on the yellowed pages with a blue feather pen.

"Hmm...converting water into two gases...? The idea of ​​the conversion school is really unique...if it were our school of magic, we would probably use synthesis..."

The girl muttered to herself as she wrote.

"Miss Liz, please."

The black-haired maid placed the bone china teacup in front of the girl sitting at the table with an expressionless face, and poured into it a green liquid that would make most people lose their appetite.

"Hoo--thanks, Alice."

Liz picked up the teacup and took a sip. Not only was she unhappy with the problem in front of her, but she was also unhappy with the green tea.

“It’s still very bitter…”

Liz sighed in frustration, marveling at her maid's unique sense of taste.

"I'm sorry, but I can't understand the taste. However, Ms. Gin's notes recorded it as 'freshness of the senses', so perhaps this is a sign that you are still young."

Liz waved her hand helplessly, "Oh... I know, I know, go ahead and do your work. I'm going out now."

"I wish you a safe journey." The maid named Alice nodded slightly, then skillfully took the broom leaning against the door and began to clean up. The long skirt rose slightly with her movements, revealing her unique joints.

Even with skin color close to that of humans, slight differences can still be seen.

Liz casually gathered the messy pieces of paper on the table, put on a black cloak and a purple wide-brimmed hat that looked quite like a magician, picked up the basket full of sundries by the door, and walked out of the room.

The cottage was built on a relatively gentle hillside, but there was no tranquil beauty around it. On the contrary, there was only grayish-white gravel that silently told of desolation and death. Plants, animals, insects... all breath of life was excluded from this endless death.

The heat waves rising from under her feet instantly surrounded Liz. She pulled down the brim of her hat, trying to block out the flaming sunlight, and began to walk up the hillside.

After crossing the hillside, she saw a vast expanse of death. However, as she looked down the hillside, she saw a small patch of green and blue that showed the only signs of life, as if a willful lord had built a garden in the flames of hell. Next to that patch of green, there were a dozen or so houses sparsely arranged.

Liz felt disgusted when talking about those lords.

Apparently, that’s where Leeds is headed.

Chapter 70 The Witch and the Village

After walking for about two hours, Liz finally arrived at the only color she could see.

It was a large piece of green grassland that was out of tune with the surroundings. Next to it was a pool of blue lake. Although the source of the water could not be seen, the lake water was surprisingly clear. In the distance were sparse houses and fields. In the fields, green and golden wheat were mixed together.

Green, gold, and blue make up the only remaining life in this world, weakly but firmly rejecting the gray death around it.

At this time, Ye Qing was temporarily free. She left Liz's body and looked at everything around her from a third-person perspective.

"So the world in her eyes is actually this blurry?"

Ye Qing sighed. She had heard in the past that some people see the world differently from ordinary people.

What people consider to be a beautiful sight may actually be a combination of different color blocks in their perception.

Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh that he could still love this world with such knowledge.

"Sister Liz!"

Just then, a shout made Liz turn her head.

Ye Qing was also forcibly pulled back to Leeds' first-person perspective and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

A group of children around six or seven years old had already sat in a circle between some low bushes. When they saw Liz coming, they all stood up excitedly.

Holding the red fruits in their hands, they gathered around Liz with smiles on their faces.

"Sister Liz, this fruit called cherry tomatoes has grown! Everyone says it's delicious! Sister, you can try some too!"

The little girl in the front is holding a flowerpot with a lush green plant in it, and the end is full of round and lovely red fruits.

Cherry tomatoes...

At this time, options also appeared in front of Ye Qing.

"Do you eat the fruit handed to you by your child?"

Select: Yes/No

Can this option have any impact on the plot?

Fortunately, this option does not have a time limit, so during this pause Ye Qing was thinking about whether to eat.

Since a choice has been given, it means that this choice will have an impact on the subsequent plot.

It's impossible that this fruit is poisonous and will kill Liz on the spot?

Looking at the smiling face of the child in front of him, Ye Qing finally chose to eat the fruit.

Although the background of Leeds' story is not clear, but since it can make these children so excited, I think this village may not be very wealthy.

"Xixi is awesome! So delicious~"

Liz squatted down and ate the cherry tomato that was handed to her, then touched the little girl's head affectionately. Her short brown hair smelled like the sun.

"Here, sister, have another one."

The little girl named Lorna picked one, wiped it with her sleeve, and couldn't wait to put it into Liz's mouth.

You can see that the children's faces are full of anticipation and excitement.

The juice bursts, and the sweet, sour and refreshing taste blooms in the mouth. It is rare to let the taste buds feel stimulated in this world where not starving to death is a miracle.

"It's delicious... Remember to let your parents try it when you get home. You can also exchange this fruit for some pocket money."

As soon as Liz said this, Ye Qing confirmed his guess.

It is a traditional working farm and the fact that cherry tomatoes can be exchanged for money shows that agriculture itself is not particularly developed.

The reason why the witch Liz hid here naturally emerged: an inconspicuous small village with a group of friendly children.

"Um......"

Luna lowered her head, and a trace of gloom flashed across her rosy little face.

Ye Qing, who noticed this, wanted to ask, but then he remembered that he was just a "bystander".

Xixi quickly regained her bright smile and sat next to her with her children.

"Sister, come to class quickly!"

Liz nodded, took out a heavy book from her patched cloth bag, and sat among the children.

"Last time we talked about how the Demon King Beelzebub finally set his sights on our world after devouring more than a dozen worlds. But the people of this world united to resist the Great Demon King. The most skillful craftsmen, the most powerful magicians, and the smartest half-elf sages worked together to create a giant as tall as a mountain to fight against the Demon King Beelzebub. Finally, the Demon King was defeated in a protracted and fierce battle..."

Liz raised her eyes from behind the book and stole a glance at the children around her. They all clenched their fists and listened attentively. Liz calmed down and continued:

"However, no one expected that the power of the demon king Beelzebub, who had devoured so many worlds, was too strong. Her blood began to burn when it fell to the ground. It was a fire of hell that could never be extinguished. The flames burned down the city, burned up the plains and forests, evaporated the sea and rivers, and burned many people to death. Her soul turned into a pest, devouring all living things..."

"Until the whole world became what it is now."

"Then why are we all safe here? Yes, that's right, it must be God's blessing."

The child sitting next to him asked timidly, but he found an answer for himself.

Hearing this, Ye Qing quietly opened his notebook and wrote it down.

"Beelzebub's blood can burn, and his soul can turn into a pest. So far, it seems to be consistent..."

In this sense, this village is also on this timeline.

Back in the classroom, Liz looked somewhat helpless.

Although she had expected the children to ask this question, Liz's expression still became very complicated, and her originally clear blue eyes seemed to dim.

"When the flames reached here, the most powerful one took the time to protect the village. She used her life to hold up the shield for seven days and seven nights, until the flames burned out everything that could be burned, and then naturally extinguished, making this the only place that was not burned."

Obviously this was not a happy explanation. Everyone lowered their heads and the atmosphere gradually became heavy.

"elder sister......"

After a while, Luna suddenly spoke, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Tell us about what it was like before the devil Beelzebub came. What did that 'city' look like?"

"Ok?"

Liz looked up at Lorna with a look of surprise in her eyes.

"In the past, there were many people. They not only lived in villages, but also built cities. There were tall houses, shops selling beautiful clothes, and restaurants making delicious food. Even at night, the cities were brightly lit. Oh, and there were libraries too."

"Library?" This term was obviously too unfamiliar to the children.

"Well, it's a place dedicated to storing books. There are all kinds of books in it, no matter what the content is. With a library, you don't have to listen to my stories anymore, you can directly see what the city looks like."

"Wow--" The children who had just lowered their heads and looked depressed all raised their heads, their eyes shining.

"Then how can we learn magic? My sister just mentioned magicians and such..."

Liz shook her head and smiled helplessly.

"Magic was once the source of this world. It came from the invisible and intangible mana in the air. However, when the devil Beelzebub's hellfire burned across the world, mana was also burned up, so... there is no magic in the world anymore. The city was also destroyed..."

"Then we will never see the library again?" There was disappointment in the children's voices.

"No,"

Liz smiled softly and reached out to rub the child's head.

“Even if the city is gone, everyone will definitely find other ways to get to the library.”

Next, Liz told the children many things about the past. The vast ocean, the towering snow-capped mountains, the animals in the forest, the birds in the sky...

"Okay, let's stop here for today,"

As the sun set, Liz brushed off the dust on her skirt, stood up, and took out the potions from her bag.

"This is this week's portion. As usual, don't let mom and dad find out."

"Well! See you next week, sis!"

Although the children were still a little unsatisfied, they still took the strangely colored potion from Liz's hand and ran towards the field.

Watching the children run away happily, Liz breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked to the center of the village.

Her main task is to come and exchange items with the villagers, and it is better not to let the adults in the village find out about teaching children to read.

"It seems that witches are still not popular, at least in this era."

Ye Qing couldn't help but whisper, and seeing Liz trying to avoid the main road, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
