“Uh... how big is this?”
Someone who didn't understand spatial measurements asked.
“About 110 football fields big?”
“Holy crap! That's huge! What on earth is that witch doing with such a massive magic circle?”
“Do you think it's something like a magic shield?”
“You mean it could block monsters? If so, wouldn't we be able to go out at night? It might even block mana turbulence and mana tides!”
“Is that even reasonable?”
“It's something done by the Witch of the High Tower; what's unreasonable about it?”
“Now that you put it that way, you're right!”
The name of the Witch of the High Tower was known to everyone. If Lan Qingyou was the one behind some preposterous event, then there really wasn't much more to say.
After all, who could blame her? She had a wild imagination and could come up with anything.
Since about two weeks had passed, there were quite a few rumors circulating about the birth of the new races.
In particular, the matter regarding the Star Dragon King Blood had reached a point where everyone knew about it.
Logically, anyone who obtained such blood would have happily consumed a drop immediately to evolve into a Dragonkin.
But not this witch.
She insisted on creating some kind of potion so that people could evolve into the Witch race.
This move, which seemed redundant to outsiders, was likely something only Lan Qingyou would do.
The problem was, word had it that these new races were at least a tier better than the original Dragonkin due to the awakening of racial talents and various corrections. In that case, 'redundant' was no longer the right word for it.
It should be called 'optimization.'
It was precisely because of these racial talent awakenings that many people held high expectations for the newly appeared races.
Aside from having a strong body, who wouldn't want an extra skill?
Some busybodies even compared these new races based on their talent skills, writing lengthy analyses of the known races.
The final conclusion was that the Witch race's Magic Eye awakening was the best among all racial talents.
This was hard for many to accept.
After all, the talents of other races—whether it was the Elemental Elf's Elemental Affinity or the Titan race's Gigantification—were visible things with obviously stronger offensive power.
However, that person gave a reason that convinced the vast majority: 'uncertainty.'
Initially, some people laughed when they saw it, thinking the person was talking nonsense.
But that person argued that the Magic Eye was the strongest precisely because of this uncertainty. Because of its unpredictable nature, the floor for a Magic Eye was very low, but the ceiling was incredibly high.
For example, with a high-ceiling Magic Eye, you might die just from a single glance. How would you even defend against that?
It would be completely impossible to guard against.
As soon as this was said, all the people who had been clamoring fell silent.
It even caused a rare lull in information on the world channel for a time.
Everyone was reflecting on this person's logic.
Right, whether it was elements or Gigantification, weren't they only considered powerful because they were visible?
But conversely, because they were visible, their level of terror was actually relatively low.
The Magic Eye was different; it killed invisibly.
If someone with a high-ceiling Magic Eye took a dislike to you and activated their talent with a single thought, you wouldn't just be unaware of how you died—you might not even know who did it.
One had to remember that whether in Blue Star legends, myths, or literature, magic eyes were everywhere.
Petrification, weakness, devouring—the list went on and on.
While the world channel was quiet, someone stepped forward to add fuel to the fire.
“Remember when Lan Qingyou gave away potions on the world channel? Someone in our district got one and became a witch.”
“Just like that person guessed, she just glared at a perfectly healthy person and they went insane. Afterward, they ran around naked like an imbecile until they died in the mouth of a monster.”
Once someone started leaking information, everyone's nerves tightened.
Good grief! Without this analysis, they wouldn't have known. Was a witch really that terrifying?
If that was the case, it was better to keep their distance in the future.
Of course, if they could get their hands on a Witch potion, that would be even better.
Never mind the floor or the ceiling; everyone understood the logic of taking a gamble for a massive payout.
As for the minor detail about turning into a girl on the spot after drinking it, who would care about that?
So, despite their fear, everyone became even more desperate to obtain a Witch potion.
Some even started contacting the Supreme Council, while others shouted directly at Lan Qingyou on the world channel, offering their entire net worth to buy a potion.
No other motive—they just wanted to go all-in.
Going all-in was an art form, after all.
If they truly gambled correctly and obtained a high-quality Magic Eye, would they really have to worry about not getting anything else later?
Lan Qingyou almost burst out laughing when she saw that person's analysis.
It was clear that the person was making things up based on their own imagination of what a Magic Eye should be, yet they happened to be partially right.
However, there was one thing he didn't know: there was no so-called floor or ceiling for a Magic Eye.
It all depended on the person and how they used it.
Take her own Analytic Magic Eye, for example.
If she weren't an alchemist and didn't understand alchemy, then this Magic Eye would indeed be of little use.
But even then, all one had to do was start learning after obtaining it.
Moreover, the scope of the Analytic Magic Eye was very broad; it could be said that it could identify and analyze anything for you.
Even if you didn't like alchemy, you could still gain convenience in other fields of study through this Magic Eye.
Of course, this type of utility Magic Eye certainly wouldn't have a performance as direct as an attack-type Magic Eye.
But it was truly convenient.
Precisely because of that person's previous analysis, the appearance of this magic circle was even more shocking.
A Magic Eye plus a magic circle.
As long as these two things existed, there was no doubt that the Witch race would become the race with the highest theoretical strength on the entire Kalim continent.
This was the first reaction most people had after seeing the magic circle.
It was also the most genuine thought in their hearts.
After all, the 'Magic Circle Drawing Correction' among the Witch race's talents was no joke.
This meant that witches were more suited for and could learn to draw magic circles faster than anyone else.
They just didn't know exactly how powerful this magic circle was.
Meanwhile, the same topic was being discussed within the villa.
The Tower: “I just got a basic book on magic circle principles. It doesn't even have low-level magic circles in it.”
The Tower: “And after reading the book, I feel that a magic circle is actually just an advanced combination of Cartography, Semiotics, and Mana Circuits.”
Lan Qingyou leisurely explained the principles of magic circles to her associates in the group.
High Priestess: “In other words, anyone can learn it?”
