Chapter 312 · Volume 1

Magic Weapons: Flash and Star

And every other shot was a minor critical hit, equivalent to a small increase in attack power.
It could be said that this pair of gun-blades was currently the masterpiece of the villa.
Combining Lan Qingyou's previous words, it wasn't hard to see what she intended to do.
“These are Flash and Star. Since you don't have a suitable weapon, I'll give these two guns to you. Consider it payment for this experiment; I believe they should be of some help to you.”
While Shang Chuan was still in shock, Lan Qingyou handed the two gun-blades to Ailuel and gave her a reminder.
Although Ailuel didn't possess a Magic Eye like Lan Qingyou or Sophia, she could tell from the appearance of these black and white gun-blades and the intricate patterns on them that they were anything but simple.
“You're really giving these to me?”
Facing these two ‘little guys,’ Ailuel's eyes were fixed on them.
Her ability revolved around a high-speed attack style at mid-to-long range.
With the Agility attribute correction, her speed had already taken a qualitative leap. If she had these two weapons, her attack power and survivability would definitely improve by at least two tiers.
Though she didn't know the exact grade of these weapons, it didn't matter.
What mattered was that their owner was now giving them to her.
“Of course. If you don't like the design, you can have them modified.”
After all, not everyone liked gun-blades—things that weren't quite knives and weren't quite guns.
To put it bluntly, it was just the Chariot's wasteland aesthetic; it had nothing to do with Lan Qingyou.
However, seeing the longing look in Ailuel's eyes, her supplementary comment seemed unnecessary.
So, Lan Qingyou didn't waste any more words and tossed both guns to her. Then, she pulled out her card, swiped it, and took out a gnarled staff about 1.8 meters long.
At the tip of this wooden staff hung a few leaves.
“This is a B+ grade Summoning Stone Staff. It can shorten summoning time and reduce summoning consumption by fifty percent. It's arguably the most suitable equipment for a Summoner.”
Lan Qingyou naturally hadn't forgotten Aina, who was also a tester.
So, after rewarding Ailuel, she rewarded Aina with a weapon as well.
As the Clan Leader, she had a reputation to uphold; she had to be fair to everyone.
After giving Aina her weapon, Lan Qingyou added both of them to the Witch's Tea Party one by one. With this smooth sequence of actions, the two of them officially became members of the witches.
Looking at the chat channel named Witch's Tea Party and the messages from the witches inside, Ailuel fell into silence.
Hmm...
It was said that witches had to give themselves a nickname for addressing and introducing each other.
Should she also give herself such a nickname?
Otherwise, she couldn't even send messages in the group.
It wasn't that she couldn't send them or that she lacked permission; she simply didn't want to break the formation.
All the nicknames were four characters long, while her full name was nine characters. If she sent a message, she would immediately become the center of attention.
She didn't like that feeling of exposure.
So, she simply looked at Aina, who was also holding her card nearby.
“What name do you plan to give yourself?”
Learning from others wasn't a big deal; it wasn't embarrassing.
“I don't think it needs to be too complicated. Verdant Orb Witch will do. It's simple, direct, and highlights my ability.”
Aina didn't have much of an opinion on this; it was just a name, after all.
Seeing this, Ailuel felt she was overthinking it.
So, after thinking for a moment and looking at the two gun-blades tucked into her belt, she hastily gave herself the title of ‘Roaming Witch.’
...
Meanwhile.
After handling the experiment matters, Lan Qingyou greeted Diana and returned to her shelter.
After giving the prepared Witch potions to Susie and Sophia for distribution, she brewed more potions while crafting scrolls.
Since Diana was now handling the official duties in her place, as one of the only two people currently capable of inscribing scrolls, she naturally had to take on the task of producing them.
Besides the Away Scroll, Lan Qingyou had another scroll to make: the magic scroll.
Among the magic scrolls, the first one to be completed was naturally the transcription of the ‘Soul Siphon’ skill.
On top of that, Lan Qingyou also inscribed some of the spells she had learned, such as the convenient Psychokinesis.
However, after the transcription of this skill was finished, Lan Qingyou looked at it and discovered that it actually had a learning requirement of ‘Spirit attribute must reach 100.’
It was strange; she didn't have this restriction when she first learned it.
Perplexed, Lan Qingyou pondered for a moment and came up with a guess.
The reason she didn't need it was likely because she had learned it directly from a reward, so even if there were requirements, they probably couldn't stop the world consciousness's ‘fighters.’
Originally, Lan Qingyou wanted to transcribe the ‘Black Witch Smoke’ and ‘Shining Starlight’ she had learned as well.
But she found that these exclusive spells could not be transcribed.
With no other choice, Lan Qingyou had to give up.
After all, these two skills were obtained from ancient sap and were exclusive.
But logically speaking, something like Black Witch Smoke, which was intended for the Witch race, shouldn't be considered a personal exclusive.
Or could it be that this type of magic could only be obtained through personal learning?
Lan Qingyou was full of doubts.
...
While Lan Qingyou was busy brewing potions and the Witch's Forest was entering its development and construction phase, other places were also entering a period of rapid growth.
After all, everyone had magic, so building houses and cities was significantly faster than it would have been on Blue Star.
In over half a month, the Academy district in the west and the living and commercial areas in the east of the Witch's Forest were mostly built; all they needed was for people to move in.
And compared to the Witch's Forest, construction in other places was even faster.
After all, the number of people joining them was much higher than in the Witch's Forest.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers.
Even the Titan City built by Olf and his Titan race on the snowy peaks—composed of steel, gears, machinery, and so on—was faster than the Witch's Forest. One could only imagine the main cities of other autonomous territories.
After all, they didn't have a rule like ‘evolution requires transformation.’
However, while this rule limited the development of the Witch race, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for them.
Besides this, something happened on the world channel that was neither big nor small, but was enough to change the direction of the world.
That was the matter regarding ‘Transmigrators’ and ‘Evolved Beings.’
To explain this matter clearly, one naturally had to start from the ‘Clan Member Recall’ event that everyone had agreed upon previously.
