After all, the Witch race and flying monsters were now deeply bonded.
Many witches' familiars or magic pets were flying monsters.
Of course, not all witches liked flying monsters.
Quite a few had other monsters as familiars; some oddballs even chose snakes, insects, rats, or ants.
However, if you narrowed the scope of "oddball" to just the Witch race, it wasn't that strange.
Just because many chose normal monsters didn't mean they were afraid of the abnormal ones.
You had to be joking.
They used those things more or less whenever they brewed magic potions, so any witch acting afraid was just playing cute.
Unless they were the type who lacked ambition and stayed at the potion-making stage, anyone who wanted to advance in alchemy would inevitably deal with magic potions.
Once the ascent was complete and stabilized, follow-up tests began.
Suspension system, propulsion system, steering system...
As these initial test items were completed one by one, cheers erupted in the management center.
This marked that from today onward, the flying city, Eureka, was a flying city in both name and reality.
“Clan Leader, since the testing is finished, where is our first stop?”
As the person in charge of the industrial zone, Margaret had watched the entire startup ceremony.
She was also the first to think of this once it was over.
Since it was a flying city and could finally fly, they couldn't just stay in a place as depressing as the Abandoned Land.
In human consciousness, flight was inherently tied to "freedom."
Now that they could fly, they naturally wanted to see new scenery.
“Here.”
Without a word, Lan Qingyou handed the target coordinates she had long since decided upon to Erika.
Erika took a look, her eyes instantly narrowing into slits.
“Boss, you really are wicked.”
“Since others have come knocking on our door, there's no reason for us not to strike back,” Lan Qingyou said indifferently.
She wasn't the type to just take a hit.
Now that they had the ability to move the entire race, why not go and have a clash with the enemy?
Erika shrugged.
She was, of course, all for her boss's vengeful nature.
She quickly input the coordinates into the machine.
Instantly, the main screen displayed a complete map of the Kalim continent and the location of the coordinates.
“Oh! So it's there!”
Seeing the location, several people in the management center couldn't help but let out strange cheers of realization.
By now, everyone, including Margaret who had just asked, understood Lan Qingyou's intent.
On the map, besides the target coordinates, even the navigation route between the starting point and the destination was plotted.
With such advanced biological mechanical technology, this kind of navigation was perfectly normal.
Not just navigation—the management center could even handle automatic flight.
As long as the flight coordinates were set, the entire flying city would slowly advance toward the destination.
Since they were flying in the air without any obstacles, they only needed to act as monitors and check the data occasionally to ensure they didn't drift off course.
Otherwise, having to stare at the large screen with rapt attention at all times would be unbearable, no matter how immersive it was.
The sky didn't have as many colorful sights as the ground; it was easy to suffer from visual fatigue.
This had nothing to do with the strength of one's spirit.
The complete map of the Kalim continent had been finished by the mapmaking room where The Fool was located while Lan Qingyou and the others were trapped.
The entire continent looked larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, somewhat like a triangle, but very irregular.
The Abandoned Land was in the middle, while the coordinates Lan Qingyou gave were toward the northeast of the irregular triangle.
“Margaret, is there any spare land in the industrial zone? I want to move my shelter over.”
After all the necessary tests were finished, the witches left the management center, leaving only one person on duty.
Since they had just arrived, there were still many things they needed to handle themselves.
For instance, moving the shelter was a top priority.
“There is. You can live wherever you want.”
“A job with good pay, little work, and close to home is the ideal state, so naturally, the shelter should be moved near the management center.”
“Then wouldn't right next to the administrative building be perfect?”
“Of course. I'm just asking you, the local, for your opinion. It wouldn't be good if it interfered with your work.”
“Don't worry. Most of the work in the industrial zone is done by pre-set golems. There are only a few witches, and they all fly in and out, so it won't be a bother.”
“That's good then.”
No one wanted to waste time, and Margaret's own shelter was also near the administrative building. So, knowing what the other meant, she directly recommended that spot.
It could only be said that witches were very conscious of time.
They wouldn't even consider anything that took too long.
While they were chatting about the shelter, Lan Qingyou had already returned to her own shelter alone on her Magic Broom.
Although it seemed like the matters regarding the flying city were settled, there was actually one very important thing left undone.
That was the issue of coming and going from the flying city.
Going out was fine; with teleportation circles, they could go anywhere.
But coming back required careful planning.
The incident where the teleportation circles were seized, allowing a large enemy force to rush into Typhon City, was still fresh in her mind.
So, once the situation had stabilized, Diana had used her authority to dismantle the original teleportation circles in the four cardinal directions of Typhon City, leaving only the central one that required permission—the tree hollow teleportation circle in Lan Qingyou's shelter.
But that wouldn't work now.
Witches who were out wouldn't be able to teleport back just by relying on local teleportation circles.
After all, the teleportation circle had become mobile.
The principle was simple: teleporting out meant going to another fixed teleportation circle, so those with stable mana didn't care.
But because the flying city's teleportation circle was moving, the details of its mana were changing every second.
Thus, teleporting in from the outside was impossible.
So, Lan Qingyou needed to consider how to allow the witches who were out to return safely.
However, regarding how to teleport back, although she had a few plans, none had been finalized yet.
The main reason was the same: stability.
Without a stable mana environment as a prerequisite, no plan would work.
“Hmm?”
Just as Lan Qingyou was at a loss, the sight of the Perching Giant Tree outside the window gave her an excellent idea.
