Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Chapter 53: We're Friends Now (Part 2)



"She is a Silver Wings species, quite knowledgeable, also very strong and beautiful. She claims she can assist the Chasing Star Covenant."

"Silver Wings species... Tilan had actually heard this name more than once. Previously, many had mistaken Ores for a Silver Wings species because they both had silver hair, were very beautiful, and very strong. But Ores didn't have wings, and her ears were the standard Elves' pointed ears, after several explanations, the speculation finally stopped."

"Bring her here."

"Yes."

In a white stone pavilion at waist height, Tilan saw Celestia. However, before she could speak, Loloria behind her began to act.

Her usually emerald eyes instantly turned red, then her wings spread, and several particle beams shot out, almost piercing through Celestia. But this Silver Wings species was not to be outdone, immediately entering a battle status, and the two fought in the air.

As an Artificial Angel, a mechanical life form, Loloria's body had slowly reverted back to the Sequence 7 stage after half a year of repair and recharging. Though still far from her peak, compared to the ignorant and backward current world, her combat ability was already beyond standard.

Yet, during the fight in the air, Loloria didn't gain the upper hand, because Celestia opposite her was also a genius of geniuses, with a solid foundation and extremely skilled in applying Extraordinary Knowledge formulas, not falling behind in the battle with Loloria for a long time.

Finally, it took Tilan flying up and telling them to stop, which gradually brought both sides down to speak.

"Tilan, this guy obviously doesn't look like a good person~" Loloria was the first to complain, looking for a reason for her action.

Celestia was also indignant. Clearly she hadn't done anything, yet was falsely accused for no reason. These mechanical bodies indeed all had deep scheming, who knows what kind of data they were calculating in their minds daily.

"Alright, alright, sit down and talk first." Tilan smiled to pacify both sides. Although Celestia was hiding some things, the other party indeed had no malicious intention, as a Songstress, she could feel this.

Then came the self-introduction segment for both sides. Loloria straight-up said she was an Artificial Angel, and had fought bitterly against the Silver Wings species, many sisters and companions perished in the war against them.

So mechanical bodies also hold grudges, Tilan noticed such a human-like reaction in Loloria for the first time.

"Of course mechanical bodies hold grudges. This is feedback to factors that harm themselves. How to respond without recording them?" Loloria responded confidently.

Although still somewhat hostile towards Celestia, Loloria reluctantly let go of personal animosity under Tilan's persuasion, not continuing to act. After all, their code setting gave priority to orders from the original humans as leaders.

After calming Loloria, Tilan properly talked to Celestia.

"Hello, I am Hexia, I heard you specially came wanting to meet me."

"Hello, I am Celestia." The other party lifted her white skirt gracefully to curtsy then stood up, with none of the inferiority or nervousness others faced Tilan with, rather, she looked at the girl in front of her with great interest.

This kind of gaze, Tilan had experienced many times in the Federation, almost everyone interested in Songstresses, either for beauty, or for profit.

"I heard of Hexia from very far away, so I wanted to know how she managed such things, like being young yet powerful, beautiful yet not just a pretty face, also keeping the camp well-managed." Celestia candidly stated her reason for coming.

"As a Silver Wings species, I have traveled to many places, also mastered a lot of knowledge. I think my abilities can be a boon for Hexia." She gently pressed her collar with her finger, slightly bowed.

"Since you're so proactive, there must be something you want, right?" Tilan also scrutinized Celestia.

No wonder people often misunderstood, Celestia indeed possessed breathtaking beauty, probably on par with Ores, both having that unique aura and pride like flowers blooming in bright sunlight.

Regarding strength, the other party had reached Sequence 7, even stronger than the once Wolf Blood Queen. Though the Wolf Blood Queen was also Sequence 7, her advancement wasn't perfect, the Sequence core had many flaws and deficiencies, in the Federation's environment, many Sequence 6s could probably defeat her.

This Celestia was genuinely solid, a Sequence 7 Transcendent with a firm foundation, knowledge, and strength, able to match Loloria evenly, in today's world, easily a dominator.

Even if Celestia didn't disclose her origin, Hexia could tell at a glance that the Silver Wings species must have a perfect and powerful societal structure, otherwise someone like Celestia wouldn't exist, the perfection of the knowledge system and the solidity of the foundation, these aren't achieved through self-taught talents alone.

If she really grew up alone, weathered numerous obstacles to become a talent, her personality wouldn't be this normal.

In Celestia's eyes, she likewise felt Hexia shouldn't be a sudden genius, the other's calmness in dealing with people, and the various views and opinions revealed in her talk, none were bred from narrow regions, saying Hexia was the perfect heir cultivated by some major power was not excessive, but where exactly did such a major power come from, were there places her Silver Wings species didn't know?

〖She has many secrets.〗

Both almost simultaneously had this thought.

Harboring mutual curiosity and respect, they slowly sat down to chat, tacitly avoiding probing into each other's origins, instead discussing the direction and goals of future camp development.

"First establish a city to accommodate a large population, a city that can function naturally and gradually grow."

"A city is the embryonic form of a country. Around a large city are scattered small towns, with villages surrounding those towns, this is the earliest model of a nation." Celestia shared her views.

"A perfect city also represents the gradual maturity of relevant laws, which can be used to promote externally, gradually replicated, building a more expansive territory." Celestia spoke of her envisioned future path.

"It's quite good." Tilan blinked.

"But this world isn't a wasteland. If you encounter other countries or forces, how should you respond."

"This can involve trade, or conquest."

When speaking this answer, Celestia wasn't as certain as before. From the birth of the Silver Wings species, it was the most brutal war against every Holy Sun, both sides aimed at extermination, never saying they would negotiate coexistence, so in the Silver Wings species' perception and habits, they didn't know how to live with other species.

Really sharing a space with those rolling about in muddy soil, people reeking of grease and filth, this was psychologically unacceptable for Silver Wings species who've had cleanliness obsessions, they had their pride, not believing they must rely on other races to survive.

For Celestia's falter, Tilan didn't mock or criticize, instead thought for a bit, questioning Celestia about other matters, such as specific city planning, and the drafting of various rules and regulations. On these matters, Celestia answered well, it seemed she'd truly learned much, not just memorizing a few lines of text.

"I understand, can Celestia stay as a consultant then? Of course, your compensation won't be less, if you have other requests you can tell me."

"Compensation similar to others is fine, actually I mainly came for Hexia." Celestia really didn't know how to lie, Tilan found her words a bit too straightforward.

"Then what do you want from me, for me to do something for you?" Tilan was curious.

"There's no need for that, just let me stay by your side, I want to become friends." Celestia candidly expressed her hope, in her eyes, this girl was like a glowing treasure, having countless futures to discover and develop.

"Alright, then from now on we are friends, Celestia." The girl's candid response made Celestia feel a unique emotion for the first time.

Is this perfunctory, sincere, completely guileless, or some more powerful confidence and tolerance?
