Town Portal Scroll

Although the mana in the air was constantly changing, physical objects did not.

Specifically, wouldn't a massive object with its own unique mana signature, like the Perching Giant Tree, be the perfect anchor?

With that thought, Lan Qingyou's path forward suddenly became clear.

She quickly flew out and returned a moment later dragging a branch.

This was no ordinary branch; it was a branch of the Perching Giant Tree.

Since others could saw them off, she, as the owner, certainly could as well.

However, it was her own property after all, so she didn't go overboard. She only took some scraps from the treetops that wouldn't affect the tree's growth.

She wondered if people were familiar with the term 'Town Portal Scroll.'

Lan Qingyou had certainly heard people mention it before.

It seemed to be an item from some games—something that existed in many of them, in fact.

Convenient and cheap.

Those were exactly the attributes Lan Qingyou needed.

She might not be able to do other things, but when it came to making magic scrolls, Lan Qingyou believed she was second to none.

After all, she was someone who could even craft a magic book. A small task like this naturally wouldn't stump her.

It was simply a matter of slightly modifying the foundation of a standard magic scroll, adding some stabilizing symbols and a little gadget to identify the mana of the Perching Giant Tree.

And that little gadget used to identify the mana was the branch of the Perching Giant Tree in her hand.

The branch itself didn't do much.

It was impossible to make paper out of such a small amount of scraps.

But if it was for extracting the juice, Lan Qingyou was all too familiar with that process.

Moreover, because her current technology was incomparable to what she had before, Lan Qingyou didn't even need to use something as complex as a juicer for this.

She could just draw an alchemy circle on a piece of enchanted paper and extract it directly.

As for the rest of the main body, since it needed to be activated by tearing it apart, Lan Qingyou ultimately chose to use enchanted paper.

Lan Qingyou currently had a paper mill under her command, though the enchanting was being handled by Ruan Qingyi and the other Merfolk.

Therefore, the cost was still within a controllable range.

After all, Ruan Qingyi's side used mass-production enchanting techniques, so the price wasn't particularly high to begin with.

Of course, when Lan Qingyou said the 'price wasn't high,' she meant under the premise that she was the one getting the goods.

On the outside, a single sheet of enchanted paper was far from cheap.

This was because Ruan Qingyi marketed them as luxury goods—'heartfelt handmade' and 'limited production.'

Lan Qingyou soaked the paper in the juice of the Perching Giant Tree, drew the teleportation magic circle, and then set it out to dry.

Once it was completely dry, she took one and headed out.

She flew directly into the forest below the flying city before coming to a stop.

Looking up, Lan Qingyou stared at the flying city three hundred meters in the sky.

Even from a distance of three hundred meters, the bottom silhouette of the flying city was still clearly visible.

As expected, three hundred meters was still too low.

It could be said that the city was completely exposed to anyone below.

While they couldn't see the daily lives of the witches living inside Eureka, Lan Qingyou felt that the sensation of being peered at from below was still likely to occur.

It seemed that after a month or so, once those small flying monsters arrived, she should set the height to five hundred or a thousand meters.

At least that way, they wouldn't be watched.

More importantly, flying so openly like this would definitely lead to people tracking them or recording their flight paths to predict their itinerary for the next few days.

That was not a good thing.

If someone with ill intentions exploited that, the entire purpose of this flying city would be lost.

However, it might also work if she made a cloud generator, or simply a mirage full of illusions.

After all, the flying monsters were attracted by the scent of the Perching Giant Tree; even an illusion wouldn't affect them much.

The Tower: "@High Priestess, do you have any magic or machinery that can create illusions?"

When in trouble, find a group member—it was an excellent approach.

After all, her group members were all very capable.

And when it came to illusions, one couldn't overlook the Phantom Mist Vampires, who specialized in illusion magic.

High Priestess: "Illusion magic and machinery? What do you need that for?"

Vivian didn't say she didn't have it, nor did she say she wouldn't give it.

But first, she needed to know why Lan Qingyou needed it.

It wasn't that she was interrogating her; it was simply pure curiosity at work.

Rather, everyone in this group was like that—their curiosity was more than ten times that of an average person.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have such a strong desire for exploration.

Coincidentally, Lan Qingyou didn't plan on hiding anything. Plus, since everyone was currently waiting for her report on the Level 7 shelter, she simply stated the actual situation.

The Tower: "It's nothing much. I just made a little gadget and need some illusions to hide it. [Image][Image][Image]"

As she spoke, Lan Qingyou sent several photos of the flying city that the witches had taken earlier, along with a low-angle photo she had just taken herself.

Once the photos were out, the group immediately erupted.

Empress: "What is this?"

Chariot: "A flying island?"

Magician: "I see quite a few instruments on it. Is that why it can fly?"

Hierophant: "As expected, every time the Witch of the High Tower makes a move, it's extraordinary."

Lovers: "It would probably be very interesting to live in a place like that."

High Priestess: "Tower, you didn't ask for illusions just to block the view from below, did you?"

This was what it meant to be a professional.

While others were still marveling, Vivian already knew Lan Qingyou's intention in sending those photos.

She wanted her to see the site and then decide if she could take on the job.

The Tower: "Exactly. See if you can make it happen."

High Priestess: "It looks a bit large. Whether you want results or a new invention, it would be better to develop illusion machinery."

The Tower: "Then let's develop it."

High Priestess: "Do you think things can be developed just by saying so? I don't even have a lead right now."

The Tower: "I have plenty of leads here. How about we co-develop it?"

After all, in terms of illusions, the Phantom Mist Vampires' technology was certainly stronger than the Witch race's.

That was why Lan Qingyou thought of adopting this model.

And when Vivian saw that Lan Qingyou intended to collaborate with her, she expressed that it was perfectly fine.

After all, such joint developments were not rare in the villa.

Setting aside the Merfolk evolution items developed by 【The Star】 Ruan Qingyi and 【Hierophant】 Nemo...

Many of the mana machines that everyone was using were co-developed by 【Chariot】 Olf and others.

And then there was the enchanted paper.

Don't think that enchanted paper was as simple as just enchanting a piece of paper.
