Well, it wasn’t the end of the world, since the Vampire Clan Hospital was owned by her family, and resurrection wasn’t difficult.

However, that perilous encounter still left the little witch with a significant psychological scar, frightening her so much that Dorothy had to sleep with her for several nights to prevent nightmares.

But the incident affected more than just Alice; it also gave Dorothy a new understanding of the dangers in the Witch World.

She had thought that the mortal world on the ground was chaotic enough, and that the sky islands where the witches, as the ruling race, lived would surely be peaceful and safe.

Yet, mere days after arriving, she encountered a lunatic while strolling down the street—so much for security.

Since then, the homebody witch had lost trust in the security of the Witch World and resolved to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary, prepared to keep to her home indefinitely.

Think about it, in her previous life in Freedom Country, just the widespread presence of firearms was enough to make people feel unsafe, not to mention a bizarre place like the Witch World where everyone was almost superhuman.

Carrying weapons incites killing intent.

The security situation being truly harmonious would be truly strange—especially since the witches are generally warlike, accustomed to resolving conflicts through violence.

Such a martial cultural atmosphere inevitably meant frequent security problems in the Witch World.

Wandering around in the Witch World was genuinely dangerous.

Previously, Dorothy always concealed her beauty and avoided people because beauty could indeed bring harm to oneself before gaining the ability to protect oneself—like getting kidnapped while simply walking down the street, which was a real possibility.

What’s more, the Witch World still operated under the old Lordship system; this place was not a legally sound society where someone bullied could definitely find justice.

If one really wanted revenge, only by becoming stronger could they fight back.

Of course, given that the Lords were governed by the Council of Sages, and the Council was in turn under the jurisdiction of the Third King, the overall structure of the Witch World was quite stable, at least preventing any major internal turmoil.

After all, the Judgment Court wasn’t there for show.

If one caused too much trouble, naturally, judges would come to suppress and settle scores.

Therefore, most Witch Lords were careful not to go too far, for accidentally provoking the judges would spell trouble.

Beware that the usual method of those fearless executioners was to mete out a severe punishment—if they captured the culprits causing disturbances, local lords found neglecting their duties, threatening social security, and causing adverse effects would also be held accountable.

And if one happened to encounter a rightfully moral judge in a particularly stern mood, wanting to uphold justice, that would spell complete disaster.

Therefore, most Witch Lords took their local security very seriously, especially since equality among witches was one of the few rules applicable across the entire Witch World.

So, if you are an ordinary witch who is not very strong but wishes to live a tranquil and peaceful life, choosing a suitable Witch Territory to work and settle in is also an important consideration.

While most Witch Lords generally align with lawful alignments, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds.

There are foolish and tyrannical emperors, let alone Witch Lords.

If you are unlucky enough to follow a chaotic and silly lord, that would not be very safe.

In this regard, the Moon Sea Territory actually belongs to the type with good security.

This can be seen from the fact that the central area of the Moon Sea city even has a No-Fly Barrier, which typically only large Witch Territories can afford—regrettably, something like the Anti-Magic Barrier at the Witch Academy is just too expensive, not something that medium and small Witch Territories like the Moon Sea Territory can afford; otherwise, the attack incident back then wouldn’t have happened.

Though Aunt Haiyue was indeed very annoyed that an incident could happen to her best friend’s child almost under her watch in her own territory, which led her to conduct several major cleansings across the territory and expel many who violated the territorial rules.

But that incident still caused irreversible harm to the homebody witch’s young mind.

After all, she was only six years old at that time, truly still a child, and she really wasn’t good at fighting.

She had not even started to engage in Magic Web Duels, having learned only some self-defense techniques against mortals with Adam in the netherworld; she really had no experience in combating witches.

Luckily, that out-of-control witch was incompetent, not even an elite witch, just a mundane, ordinary witch.

So, at that moment, a bit overwhelmed and anxious to save her sister, Dorothy started with a powerful move and directly turned that person into a Headless Knight with a punch, which was truly terrifying.

Afterward, the homebody witch was scared for a long time because, although she was lucky this time to encounter an incompetent witch, what would happen if she encountered a formidable, out-of-control individual next time?

After all, the outside world was truly frightening, and only by staying safely at home could she feel secure.

From then on, Dorothy, who had never liked conflicts, started to study combat magic seriously.

After all, having something but not needing to use it is a different concept from needing something but not having it.

There are some things she might not need to use, but she truly cannot be without.

However, if one were to take a longer-term view and think on a larger scale, one would see that the root cause of the current power-dominant racial atmosphere in the Witch World is the Third King; it is the Third King who permits all this, leading to situations where individuals stop at nothing for power and ultimately lose control.
