Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam-Chapter 769 - 126: Light

"Good morning, friends from Gear City. I'm your buddy Johnny, and welcome to today's guest invitation. Today we are honored to have Madam Haitia, the Great Summoner. As everyone knows, she defeated the Demon King alongside the hero. Now, Madam Haitia has returned to Gear City, dedicated to creating a warm and safe haven for every resident."

The host then turned his attention to the girl in the bubble dress on the screen, "Madam Haitia, please say hello to the residents of Gear City!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Haitia. I once served as the summoner and logistician in the team."

With a sweet smile and a strong power acknowledged by the royal family, she gained a huge following even before appearing on the screen. Even in the slums of Gear City, those who had long been disillusioned with the nobles and officials sincerely believed Haitia's return would bring change to this city.

This morning, Other Shore sat inside the bakery, becoming a witness to this live broadcast interview.

This is also Gear City—a name it shares with the border city of the Empire, and even its area and urban structure have over 80% similarity.

"Empire."

This is what Other Shore learned from the residents of the town. Ironically, the town that was destroyed was called Riverside Town, and even in this Empire that closely resembles the Empire, it couldn't escape its fate of destruction.

In a daze, Other Shore returned to the place where the dream began.

At that time, the Seven-Person Council was still the highest authority of the Empire. The Imperial Knight Order received news from the border that Riverside Town was attacked by an unidentified witch, and there were suspicions of highly dangerous cursed items. Intelligence agents had also detected the presence of Dream Eclipse members.

This was before she knew Ethan and Lindong.

But at least...

A few residents of Riverside Town survived the bombardment of the magical cannons.

Of course, there are many differences in this "Empire," such as the belief in the Evil God is not popular in this world; all the sources of evil come from the "Demon King," who has already been defeated. Last night, the royal family of the Empire announced this news in major cities. The prevailing view now is that the hero perished alongside the Demon King in the final battle.

This world has not experienced a war of corruption two years ago, Henry VI is still alive and well.

Notably, the technology of this "Empire" is far more advanced. While J.K Forest and Bazatous Film Company are committed to bringing films to the screen, making it the next mainstream entertainment for humanity, Gear City has already achieved the real-time appearance of the interviewees on the screen.

"If we tell Madam Haitia about what happened in Riverside Town, maybe she'll help us..."

A few town residents, touched by Haitia's gentle and kind image on the screen, murmured softly.

Although their lives were miserable before, as long as the hero was still there, there was always hope. They believed Madam Haitia, as the hero's companion and a Great Summoner, was undoubtedly a person with a sense of justice like the hero.

Perhaps they could reveal to Madam Haitia the atrocities committed by the Imperial Army after their departure and the inhumane massacre they conducted in the town.

For a moment, all eyes were focused on Other Shore. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

This lady, who claimed to be the Imperial Knight Commander, had long become the backbone of the team. Although they had never heard of the Empire establishing a Knight Order, nor had they heard of a title like "Knight Commander," the attitude of the "Demon King" towards her made it clear that Miss Other Shore had quite a background.

She might be the only Imperial person recognized by the "Demon King."

Feeling the earnest gazes, Other Shore adjusted her expression and gave a solemn speech today, "The bagels here... are quite tasty."

In fact, she had already attracted the attention of other guests, evidently contrary to their pre-entry "low-key" plan.

Miss Other Shore... really has a big appetite.

The empty plates piled up like a small mountain. After leaving the phrase "I'll go over there," they watched her walk to the dumbfounded clerk and buy six more plates of freshly baked bagels.

Miss Other Shore's appetite was more amazing than many giant magic creatures they knew.

Along the way, they also witnessed Miss Other Shore's way of making money—magical creatures wandering on the outskirts of Gear City encountered unprecedented blows, and those dangerous magical creatures, taken down with a single punch by Other Shore, had now turned into bagels on the table.

"Why are you all looking at me? Good food is meant to be eaten more,"

Other Shore said matter-of-factly, "Being a knight is a stamina-consuming profession, and eating is equivalent to recharging oneself."

Her theory was still somewhat perplexing to others.

However, the residents of Riverside Town didn't want to talk much about the breakfast topic, "Surely the Imperial Army deceived Madam Haitia. If someone as upright as her knew what the army did, she wouldn't stand idly by!"

"Alright, then go find her."

Other Shore shrugged, "Consider this our farewell feast."

After safely escorting these Riverside Town residents to Gear City, her task was done. Next, she needed to find a way to contact Ethan and Lindong.

Finding the way home wasn't easy; she was dragged into this world along with the crime suspect "Demon King," but Ethan couldn't use the reverse summoning ritual to take her back to the Empire since her level was far from sufficient. As a Round Table Knight of this level, she didn't enjoy the privileges of the Old Gods.
