Of course, the original intention behind inventing this gadget was simply to help her traverse mountains and ridges more easily while enjoying the scenery along the way.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have come knocking on the door to buy it after learning that Lan Qingyou had once developed a potion that allowed for brief flight.
Since it was someone else's research result, it was only natural for even a fellow clan member to pay for it.
However, upon hearing that she wanted to study flight items, Lan Qingyou generously gave her the recipe along with the potion.
Originally, she had developed this potion as a backup in case her talent ever failed her.
Now that someone else wanted to research the same thing, she had no reason not to support them.
If they ever encountered an uncontrollable situation in the future, having an extra method of flight would provide an additional layer of security.
[Witch of Knowledge]: "I've looked at the blueprints. This is less of a flight item and more of a flight core, isn't it?"
[Roaming Witch]: "Pretty much, though you can fly just by holding it in your hand or carrying it on your back."
[Witch of Knowledge]: "I know, but the head-turn rate wouldn't be as impressive that way. If we want to look good, we need to put some effort into the appearance."
[Roaming Witch]: "Appearance, huh? I'm not particularly good at that part."
[Witch of Knowledge]: "Wait a moment then. I'll go to the Tea Party and find the Thorn Witch. I'll have her make something for the exterior."
[Golden Witch]: "Thorn? You want to make those magic brooms like the Clan Leader's?"
[Witch of Knowledge]: "Exactly. It's more recognizable that way. If we standardize it, it could even become the signature of our High Tower Clan. After all, we're the High Tower; we should be flying high."
In Diana's eyes, Lan Qingyou's posture, sitting sideways on her magic broom, had already become her signature look.
To improve the image of the entire race, that standard combination of a witch and a broom was undoubtedly the most suitable.
So, she immediately went to find the one who called herself the Thorn Witch.
That girl's cultivation skills were absolutely superb.
While she didn't know what materials Lan Qingyou's magic broom was made of, if it was just for the appearance, it shouldn't matter much.
As for the broom bristles at the bottom, they could be made from some scraps of cultivated thorns.
Diana's idea was certainly good, but what she didn't know was that the items made from the materials she was gathering would be at least B-grade magic vehicles.
Lan Qingyou's own magic broom was only B-grade, and it wasn't even the kind that could fly on its own.
That was because her flight relied entirely on her own talent...
[Visionary Witch]: "@Witch of Knowledge, the idea is great, but don't forget that the Clan Leader's magic broom also has thrusters."
[Witch of Knowledge]: "Can't you replicate those?"
[Visionary Witch]: "I can, but I can't achieve mass production in a single day. Besides, setting up a new production line isn't something that can be done in just a day or two."
What a joke.
There were currently over two hundred thousand people in the entire High Tower Clan.
If you added the newly recruited ones, the number would reach over four hundred thousand.
In this situation, there was no other way but to set up a production line and let the tireless golems, which only required maintenance, handle the manufacturing.
[Witch of Knowledge]: "@Visionary Witch, then let's urgently make three sets first and send them to Lengyue and the others. It'll be good for them to make a grand entrance at the tournament venue."
[Visionary Witch]: "Good idea. I'll replicate those items immediately."
After a long chat, the group finally settled the matter.
Since they weren't mass-producing but only making two or three, it wouldn't even take an hour.
Thus...
Less than an hour after Nangong Lengyue and the other two were teleported to the venue, they received 'care packages' from back home.
...
"To be honest, those office-dwellers will never understand the work requirements of front-line field employees like us."
After receiving the magic broom, Alice, dressed in a water-blue dress and a matching witch's hat, weighed the broom in her hand and complained.
This was the flying magic broom that Diana and the others had urgently rushed out.
Although it wasn't a hundred percent replica of Lan Qingyou's magic broom, they had tried to make it as close as possible.
They even hung a magic lantern from the question-mark-shaped handle of the broom—one that served only for illumination and had no dispelling function.
As the only member of the Witch Group among the three, she had been involved in inscribing the magic circles for both the Abandoned Land and Emerald Ridge.
So, she could indeed be considered a front-line employee.
Therefore...
A seemingly convenient magic broom wasn't really that 'convenient' for her, or for the two silent types beside her.
Think about it.
You're minding your own business, walking along, and suddenly someone gives you a luxury car. The catch is you've never learned how to drive. What do you do then?
Trying to drive it anyway is just asking for trouble.
But if they didn't use it, they would waste the 'Debut Mission' that Diana and the others had planned.
"It's fine to just carry it for the sake of appearances."
"Keep it as a backup option for emergencies."
Nangong Lengyue and Ursula gave brief, rapid answers, making Alice shake her head.
In her view, the 'Debut Mission' itself was inherently fun.
It would be a pity not to carry it out.
"If all else fails, I'll just learn on the spot. Anyway, as long as I don't use magic, it should be fine even if I crash into someone, right?"
With that, Alice turned her gaze toward Nangong Lengyue.
After receiving a firm nod from Nangong Lengyue, a relieved Alice mimicked Lan Qingyou's posture and sat sideways on the magic broom.
Then, under the startled gazes of the surrounding people, she went straight into starting in second gear.
Whoosh—Bang!
After a sudden upward surge, Alice flew from the crowd into the air, safe and sound.
"Yahoo!"
Her shout, sounding like that of a wild girl, echoed above the second floor, causing people of various races to look up in curiosity.
Flight, a broom, and a witch's outfit.
Perfect. No one even had to think twice to know which race they belonged to.
"How is it?" Nangong Lengyue asked when Alice flew a lap and returned to their side.
"The controls are easier than expected. I should be able to master it after a few more laps."
Alice nodded, full of praise.
"Is the consumption high?"
"One energy point per minute. A single energy crystal is enough to last through a large-scale battle."
"What about attacking?"
"No problem. Once you're skilled, you can use your body weight to control the direction and free up your hands. You only need to use your hands when changing gears."
"In that case, it's indeed not bad."
Nangong Lengyue nodded, then looked at the magic broom in her hand.
Just then, Ursula also tried to fly up, so she followed suit.
While the three were getting familiar with their magic brooms on the second floor, Lan Qingyou, on the Clan Leader spectator area on the third floor, was looking at Alisa with a playful expression.
"Three."
"Hmm?"
"This time, our High Tower Witches have sent three witches besides myself to participate in this struggle."
