Witches are Unbeatable!

After all, the only reason they had become witches was that the Supreme Council had provided them with Witch potions on a sort of loan basis, which they had to pay back.

Even though they were now resigning from their positions at the Adventurers' Guild, they still had to brew those potions every day to settle their debts.

So, strictly speaking, most of this first generation of witches was actually quite poor.

But things were different now.

Now that they were connected to a big shot like Lan Qingyou, who was also their Clan Leader, she surely had plenty of materials, didn't she?

“True. Speaking of which, take out your identification cards. I’ll add you to the group first.”

“Join a group?”

A petite witch wearing a flower wreath, who had been sitting on the office desk without saying a word, turned to look at Susie in confusion.

“Yeah, a chat channel the Clan Leader set up for witches to communicate with each other.”

As she spoke, Susie added the three women one by one to the Witch's Tea Party.

“Only five people?”

“Witch's Tea Party... that’s a pretty nice name. Very stylish.”

As soon as the three women were added to the group, they all began to comment.

“So, should we contact the Clan Leader now?”

After joining the group, Diana immediately changed her name to 【Witch of Knowledge】 and asked Susie. After all, she was essentially the leader of their four-person team.

“Not right now. It seems the Clan Leader is busy dealing with something.”

“I see. Well, it doesn’t matter. It’s not a bad idea to just post a message in the group and wait for a reply. After all, the point of this group is to provide a platform for witches to communicate, isn’t it?”

After reading the group announcement, Diana asked again.

This time, Susie nodded and agreed to her request.

So, Diana sent a message about wanting to create magic scrolls.

“Oh, right. There's also one of these for each of you.”

After Diana finished sending the message, Susie took out three items and tossed them to the three women.

“What are these?”

The three women were puzzled as they caught the items.

“Familiar Contract magic circles. They’re tools that allow you to sign a contract with a juvenile monster, turning it into a familiar with a heart-to-heart connection.”

“A familiar? That sounds interesting.”

The mature witch standing behind the sofa was the first to unroll the magic circle to inspect it, her face full of eagerness.

“Can we contract any kind of monster?”

“According to the Clan Leader, yes. But it has to be a juvenile.”

“Does that mean we could even sign a contract with something like a dragon hatchling?”

“Theoretically, yes.”

“Good heavens,” Diana said in surprise.

“Did the Clan Leader make these too?” the petite witch asked.

“Yes. And she also wants us to learn magic circles as much as possible. She said that alchemy circles are just a type of magic circle.”

“See? I told you magic circles would definitely be useful! Otherwise, those lords at the Supreme Council wouldn't have wasted resources letting us learn them.”

The witch behind the sofa was overjoyed.

When someone had first brought over a book on magic circles for everyone to read, the others had dismissed it and tossed it to her.

While the others didn't think much of it, she felt that magic circles were a perfect and cool match for witches, so she had studied them diligently.

Now, she could finally hold her head high.

“Hey, this feels pretty good. This method of processing monster hide... it seems like it would be great for making scrolls too.”

Unlike the witch behind her, Diana, sitting on the sofa, had become interested in the monster hide used for the magic circles.

In her eyes, neither the Familiar Contract magic circle nor the heart-to-heart familiar was as important as the materials.

Since this monster hide could be used by the Origin Witch to draw magic circles, it should also be perfectly fine for recording magic.

Even if it was only for one-time use.

“Then just ask the Clan Leader where this kind of monster hide comes from,” Susie said nonchalantly.

Since Diana had already sent one message, sending another wouldn't hurt.

“Okay, let me see... wait! Look at the group!”

Diana picked up her card to send the message, but as soon as she entered the group, she saw an amazing sight.

【The Witch of the Tower has placed 'Sky-piercing Blade' into the group storage.】

【The Witch of the Tower has placed 'Azure Collar' into the group storage.】

【The Witch of the Tower has placed 'Serrated Knife' into the group storage.】

【The Witch of the Tower has placed 'Ox-horn Ring' into the group storage.】

【The Witch of the Tower has...】

“Holy cow, they're all magic tools!?”

“Is the Clan Leader really this rich?”

“Are these for us?”

“They must be for us to use for leveling up.”

“Tsk, tsk. So many magic tools... only the Clan Leader could do this. She's a rich lady! A total rich lady!”

“Witches are unbeatable!”

“WE! PLEDGE! OUR! LOYALTY!”

Seeing the items Lan Qingyou had placed in the storage, all four women were jubilant.

After all, Lan Qingyou knew they intended to resign and focus on leveling up.

She had provided these specifically to help them.

“I checked, and we can use them freely, but we have to register first. Also, if we get any drops from the dungeons, we need to return these borrowed magic tools.”

As an administrator, Susie nodded in approval after reading the new rules set by Lan Qingyou.

Indeed, doing this would greatly help the members of the Witch race to improve quickly.

However, to prevent any shameless behavior, Lan Qingyou had placed a Destruction Magic Circle on them.

Everything borrowed from the storage had to be returned once every three days.

Otherwise, it would explode, destroying the tool and potentially dealing a fatal blow to any dishonest borrower.

It sounded formidable, but in reality, it was just a small Mana-absorbing Magic Circle.

It would fully charge and explode after three days.

Only by placing it back in the storage to isolate it could it 'cool down' and be used again.

While Susie didn't understand the underlying principles, she felt it was a necessary precaution.

However, there were only about two hundred items in the storage.

Compared to the ten thousand or so witches, it was still far too few.

“Once we have drops from the dungeons, we can also toss anything we don't need into the group storage for others to use.”

After reading the 'Dungeon Guide' Lan Qingyou had uploaded to the group files, Susie shared her suggestion with the other three.

This Dungeon Guide wasn't about combat; it was a very practical manual on how to identify magic tools, treasures, and other items.

The other three women immediately agreed.

Since they were benefiting from the convenience, it was only right to give back. After all, 'equivalent exchange' was the fundamental law of alchemy.

“That's true. Though I probably won't be able to replicate this self-destructing magic circle for a while.”

The mature witch behind the sofa frowned as she studied the Destruction Magic Circle on one of the magic tools she had taken from the storage.
