Needs a Professional Team

Even if these new races currently consisted of many humans due to a shortage of evolution items...

Who could say what would happen in the future?

Therefore, taking precautions from the very beginning was the most correct choice.

To put it bluntly, whether it was the rumors or the so-called Sacred Domain, they were nothing more than chess pieces placed by the Supreme Council in the early stages.

Once the rumors had taken deep root in people's hearts, they would be much easier to use whenever the need arose in the later stages.

It really was...

“There truly is nothing new under the sun...”

Lan Qingyou, currently inside a dungeon, muttered to herself as she looked at the cards in her hand.

A message had just arrived in the group, saying that a small Cat-ear tribe of the half-beast race had been harassed by humans.

Although no substantial damage had been caused, it was still a persistent nuisance.

After all, humans still held an absolute dominant position in terms of numbers in Kalim.

“Clan Leader, everything has been packed up.”

Ailuel walked over, holding her twin pistols.

This dungeon expedition was led by Lan Qingyou. Besides Ailuel, the members included Aina and over a dozen physical-type and summoning-type witches.

In addition to testing the Magic Eye talents of these new witches, Lan Qingyou also wanted to help them level up while they were out.

Regardless, based on the dungeon mechanics, as long as Lan Qingyou didn't personally take action, she wouldn't take any experience points from the others.

For Lan Qingyou, who was already over Level 20, these light-colored dungeons no longer offered any room for improvement.

However, it was a good place for the newly ascended witches to practice.

Not only could they hone their skills, but they could also harvest magic tools, magic materials, and other such items.

Through this observation, Lan Qingyou had confirmed that the Magic Eyes created from Jormungandr's blood were indeed physical-type.

In fact, the scope of these physical-type Magic Eyes was even broader than she had imagined.

Some enhanced body parts, some acted directly on attributes, some could enchant weapons and armor for themselves or teammates with just a glance, and some could even open defense barriers to become mobile magic shields...

Of course, there were also Magic Eyes like Ailuel's, which served as auxiliary support for her own attacks.

In short, they were all related to the physical side, yet they were talents capable of dealing magic damage.

Each of them looked like magic warriors.

Although they lacked the demon attributes of the Lesser Demon or Succubus races, Lan Qingyou still found it somewhat strange.

After all, she hadn't seen any demonic tendencies in the effects of these Magic Eyes.

Then again, she wasn't even sure what the demons of this world actually looked like.

But truth be told, these physical-types could indeed effectively compensate for the magic-type witches' weakness in close-quarters combat.

If paired with powerful familiars to complement one another, their combat capability would reach an even higher level.

It was just that their image deviated slightly from the other two types.

While they still wore hats, the styles were much more diverse compared to the pointed triangular hats of the magic-type and summoning-type witches.

There were top hats, wide-brimmed hats, pillbox hats, and even bucket hats...

As long as it didn't hinder combat or matched their fighting style, it was all fine.

Since most physical-types engaged in close combat, they often wore long dresses with a layer of small, lightweight armor like vambraces or skirt armor that didn't affect their speed.

One shouldn't assume that being lightweight meant they lacked defense.

Defense power depended on the materials used to craft the armor, not its weight.

Some didn't even wear any armor at all, emphasizing a violent aesthetic of 'sexy dresses and on-the-spot beatdowns.'

As for weapons, they were even more varied.

The long blades, rapiers, short spears, and scepters that Lan Qingyou had collected before were all available for them to use.

Furthermore, if any witch besides Lan Qingyou obtained items in a dungeon that their own team didn't need, they would throw them directly into the group storage for others to use.

While it might seem like they were losing out, it was mainly a matter of everyone helping each other.

After all, others would also throw in materials they didn't need.

Of course, these items could only be borrowed after registering one's personal information.

With over two hundred thousand witches now, management was a significant challenge.

Fortunately, a portion of the two hundred thousand witches hadn't settled in the Witch's Forest or even joined the Witch's Tea Party.

The vast majority were still beginners who needed to learn magic in the academy.

So, the number of witches who could actually live and fight outside was quite small.

There were only about ten thousand of them.

Although Lan Qingyou had initially fretted over this matter, she eventually realized she didn't need to suffer through it herself and dumped the responsibility onto Susie and the others who had returned to the Witch's Forest.

Subsequently, Susie's group actually devised an effective method.

To put it simply, in their spare time from studying, high-level witches would lead these low-level witches into dungeons to produce magic tools.

No matter how many were produced, as long as there was output, they could be equipped and used.

This would alleviate the shortage of magic tools in the warehouse.

Lan Qingyou highly approved of this and directly signed her name on the document using mana.

...

“Clan Leader, there is one more matter I need to discuss with you.”

At this moment, Diana—who had effectively become the 'Mayor' of the Witch's Forest—handed over another document after taking the one Lan Qingyou had signed.

“This is...”

“Construction of the Witch's Forest is basically complete, but we still lack a professional management team. Therefore, we need you to conduct assessments and make appointments for these witches.”

“I see. Indeed, we really were like a makeshift outfit before, hitting things haphazardly.”

Lan Qingyou nodded, then began to seriously read the appointment document in her hand.

There was no need to say much about Diana as the Chief Administrator; after all, the entire Witch's Forest had practically been built by her hand.

The Branch President of the Witch's Forest Adventurers' Guild was, naturally, Susie.

The one in charge of the commercial area was a striking and capable woman known as the Golden Witch, named Bei Adolis.

Lan Qingyou knew this person; she had met her once before and found her to be quite formidable.

It wasn't that her Magic Eye was particularly strong; on the contrary, Bei Adolis's Magic Eye was an auxiliary type, just like Lan Qingyou's.

What made her formidable was her alchemy.

The 'Golden' in Golden Witch didn't refer to her Magic Eye, but rather the fact that her alchemy could truly turn stone into gold.

Although the daily amount was limited and the mental exhaustion was immense, she had actually achieved it.

Even Lan Qingyou herself couldn't do that.

At least in terms of the material conversion aspect of alchemy, Bei Adolis was certainly more skilled than her.

Then, in the position of Patrol Leader, Lan Qingyou saw a familiar name.
