"The Law of Accidents in the theory of destiny, huh? That's so you, Little Fairy, even choosing a servant is special."

Even though Dorothy had merely dressed up her own thoughts with grandiose language, this did not prevent Senior Mia from seeing her through rose-colored glasses, applying a beauty filter in full force.

At this moment, the Golden Princess was looking at her with admiration, making the homebody witch herself feel a bit embarrassed.

Truly, what she referred to as fate was just checking if someone met her expectations; it really had nothing to do with the theory of destiny.

Even for witches as powerful as they were, there remained two forces they revered: the Power of Space-Time and the Power of Fate, both referred to as the Supreme Art. Witches talented in these areas were geniuses among geniuses.

Dorothy had a bit of capital to boast about when it came to the Power of Space-Time, but as for fate, she really couldn't comprehend it.

Within the Nine Witch Factions, the Divination Department specialized in the ways of fate, and this was the department that Dorothy found the most troublesome to study; she truly could not understand it.

She could recite all kinds of theoretical knowledge in the Divination Department by heart, and she could certainly ace any exam, but when it came to practical application...

Well, her fortune-telling relied entirely on what she whimsically thought, depending on whether her peculiar inspiration would grace her with its presence on any given day.

Once her inspiration decided to show favor, combined with her Space-Time Talent, she could glimpse vague scenes from the past or future.

However, relying on her Space-Time Talent in this way couldn't really be considered mastering fate, because she could only passively receive the visions, not change them.

She had tried numerous times to change her own fate; results proved that the future she saw was bound to happen, no matter how she tried to change it.

For instance, the first time she practiced divination during her childhood, she saw herself under a tree, opening her wallet with joy. So, she decisively left her wallet in her father Adam's care, thinking that without her wallet on her, surely she couldn't see it.

The next day, Adam returned with a guilty face, telling her the wallet was lost, and as compensation, he gave her double the pocket money. However, this did not stop Dorothy from feeling heartbroken, fortunate as she was to have the habit of casting a locating spell on her wallet, which allowed her to quickly find it after rushing out.

It was only after she joyfully found her wallet and opened it that she noticed her surroundings.

Yes, the wallet was under a tree, and she had just opened it joyfully under that very tree.

From that moment on, Dorothy started to hold a sense of awe toward fate; after all, seeing the future yet being powerless to change it was indeed discomforting.

Those who truly mastered the Power of Fate could freely change their destinies to whatever end they desired.

Take, for instance, Senior Mia right before her.

Senior Mia's talent, Golden Rule (ssr), was a typical talent of fate. Whenever she wished, she could quickly find herself either picking up money just stepping outside or lying at home with money falling from the sky.

Alas, Space-Time could only reign supreme, but it was fate that was truly sovereign.

As for the Law of Accidents that Senior Mia just mentioned, it is the favorite game of those devoted to fate.

Speaking of which, Dorothy's origins were the result of the rate of accidents; Euphilia chose Adam initially because a fortune teller required her to find the most handsome man during a stroll through her domain, who could then father the child with the best talent.

This randomness of chance is what they call the rate of accidents.

And sometimes, this stuff is really unreliable, like when one person helps another and asks the other person to give the first thing they see that belongs to them at home as a reward, resulting in the person coming home and first seeing his wife and children who came out to greet him.

That's pretty awkward, isn't it?

However, if it's not taken too seriously and just for fun, it's not bad, gaming with the "Golden Rule" is indeed one of the best ways to sense the Power of Fate; playing occasionally is harmless.

Thus, Dorothy smiled and turned to look at Audrey and Alice beside her before saying,

"I guess having two servants in the club is enough. Each of you say something, and then we'll just wander around here. If we encounter the first of the otherworldly races that shares something in common with what each of you described, they will be the servants we're looking for."

Hearing such words from the homebody witch, Alice and Audrey became interested. After thinking for a while, they each gave their answers.

"Stained white with fresh blood."

This was Alice's answer; the little witch was feeling a bit thirsty at the moment, so naturally, she thought of blood. But simply saying "blood" seemed boring, as most living beings have blood, so she glanced at a nearby pure white Angel statue and said this.

Meanwhile, Audrey couldn't think of anything at the moment. However, she noticed Alice looking at that Angel statue and her eyes lit up.

"Then I want something enveloped in darkness yet sacred."

Little Fox said this while controlling Little Puppet.

Dorothy: "..."

Listening to the challenging demands these two came up with, the homebody witch was dumbfounded.

Are you two playing with me? Can't you suggest some normal elements? Why make it so complicated? Alice clearly looks hungry, but Audrey, why didn't you ask for a multicolored black?

"Interesting, both are quite fun. Let's settle on that then."

Before the homebody witch could oppose, Senior Mia clapped her hands, showing great interest.

Facing this three against one situation, Dorothy couldn't really object.

Well, it's just a game after all; a bit of challenge makes it more fun. Let's go with that, and if we can't find it, well, no harm done. We'll save some money.

She comforted herself with this thought.

"Then, Senior, do you have any recommended places to visit?"

Dorothy wasn't familiar with this talent market and didn't know where to start. She decided to leave it to fate and let Senior Mia decide.

"Hmm, let me think. Since there are no specific requirements, there's no need to go to the service counter in the main hall. Let's head directly to the exhibition hall in the back. There, you'll find a talent show with selected elite talents from the market, which is quite entertaining. Many witches like to go there to pick their servants."

Senior Mia thought it through and eventually made this suggestion.

And this left Dorothy stunned.

Good heavens, it's actually a talent display area, and it sounds like it used to be a high-quality slave auction area.

But it does sound quite interesting, and these years she's been so focused on saving money she never got to experience the transmigrator's essential auction. It's quite embarrassing for the predecessors, but today seemed a good day to broaden her horizons; she just never imagined her first auction experience would be this unique.

...The homebody witch had mixed feelings...
