Designating an entire region as the exclusive territory of a single race, and to think it was actually approved by the chairman of the Supre Council.
This was utterly shocking no matter how you looked at it.
The reason Sophia was able to beco this captain was not only because of her Magic Eye and natural talent, but also because she was considered an official employee of the Supre Council.
It was true that the Supre Council had previously recruited quite a few people to join its ranks.
But strictly speaking, apart from the council mbers' original subordinates from Blue Star, who were considered official employees, the vast majority of the rest rely held the status of hired rcenaries.
Take the Witches, for example.
Aside from a very small minority who counted as official staff, the rest were all essentially indentured servants working to pay off their debts.
Therefore, Sophia was well aware of Chairman Durandal's power and influence within the Supre Council.
After all, the Supre Council only ca into existence because Durandal had personally contacted each mber to make it happen.
It could even be said that the council mbers only sat at the sa table to have proper, even-tempered discussions entirely out of respect for Durandal.
Otherwise, this Supre Council might have completely collapsed before it even managed to issue its first declaration.
One could say that Durandal was not only the ultimate decision-maker of the entire Supre Council, but also the glue holding it together.
Yet, this very person had actually agreed to the Origin Witch's demands, allowing that so-called The Abandoned Land to beco the Autonomous Domain of the Witch Clan.
Although the ti since the Blue Star Earthlings transmigrated to Kalim was still very short, making it sowhat inappropriate to describe this as unprecedented.
One still had to admit that once this floodgate opened, it took no imagination to guess how things would develop in the future.
Other newly erged races would undoubtedly demand equal rights upon hearing the news, carving out their own territories to rule independently.
If she could think of such glaring issues, it was impossible for the chairman to have overlooked them.
Yet the chairman still went through with it.
Why?
She did not understand, but now did not seem to be the ti to ponder such matters.
Poison Witch: "We are heading over right now. Tell us the na of the teleportation point."
Origin Witch: "You are coming too?"
Poison Witch: "Yes."
Leveling up could be done anyti, and dungeons could be cleared whenever, but Lan Qingyou's teaching sessions were not sothing they could encounter every day.
Although Lan Qingyou looked very young, she was the absolute cream of the crop among all the Blue Star Earthling transmigrators when it ca to Alchemy and Potioneering. Her guidance would undoubtedly be imnsely beneficial.
Thus, after a brief discussion, the dozen or so Witches on Susi's side unanimously agreed to put their saint-level advancent on hold for the ti being.
They would resu after they finished studying.
Although this would leave them with a tight schedule and a heavy workload.
Putting in a little extra effort to make up for it was perfectly doable.
Upon learning that Susi and her group were coming, Lan Qingyou simply decided to wait for them.
There were still so many people here anyway, so she could take her ti adding them to the group.
However, because it was an invite-only system, word spread rapidly from person to person. It barely took any ti before all hundred or so people were added to the group.
After joining the group, everyone first joyfully read the announcents, chatted in the group for a bit, and then quickly discovered the magical items stored in the group vault.
"Can these really be used for free?"
Sophia asked, staring at Lan Qingyou in absolute astonishnt.
It had to be known that even within the Supre Council, magical items were not sothing just anyone could use.
The limited quantity was naturally one factor, but the main reason was their sheer rarity. Those with insufficient rank simply could not enjoy such a privilege.
Of course, there was another crucial reason aside from that.
That was the fact that the already scarce magical items were largely treated as personal treasures by the council mbers.
They would absolutely never let others use them.
To put it bluntly, it was like an item on a nu that you were not allowed to order. Even if you slamd down the money to buy the dish, you still would not get to eat it.
Yet, a tiny communication hub for the Witch Clan housed over two hundred magical items. This was already a heavier stockpile than the entire net worth of so council mbers.
She could only admit that the number one alchemist of Kalim truly lived up to her title—she was obscenely rich and wonderfully extravagant.
Sophia attributed all of this to Lan Qingyou's Alchemy. What she did not know was that this level of equipnt was considered standard issue in Tarot Manor.
At most, Lan Qingyou was just slightly wealthier than the other mbers.
After all, Lan Qingyou had quite a few streams of inco.
And this did not even account for the golem industry, which she had not yet found the ti to fully manufacture.
It was well known that the golem industry was an incredibly massive piece of the pie.
Once the fully automated golem business expanded, that would be where the real money flowed. After all, the initial purchase cost money, repairing it cost money, and even recycling it brought in profits.
Even though there were still over ten billion Blue Star transmigrators alive, that number was minuscule compared to the total population of the entire Kalim Continent.
But if each person bought two or three golems to assist them with their work, it would absolutely yield twice the result with half the effort.
"Hey! Sophia!"
While Sophia was still reeling in shock, soone called out to her. She turned her head and happened to see Susi and the others walking out of the building.
"Hey! Sophia!"
While Sophia was still reeling in shock, soone called out to her. She turned her head and happened to see Susi and the others walking out of the building.
"Susi, you actually ca," she greeted.
"Of course! The Clan Head is teaching. How could I possibly miss out on such a golden opportunity?"
Susi said with a bright smile as she walked over.
Clan Head?
Faced with this unfamiliar title, Sophia froze for a mont. Then she rembered that the Tower Witch was the one who had created them, and she was the very first Witch.
Therefore, addressing her as the Clan Head was entirely appropriate.
She noticed it, and naturally, the other Witches caught on as well.
"Alright, alright. Since everyone is here, follow . We need to start constructing the magic array here imdiately."
Hovering in mid-air, Lan Qingyou clapped her hands to draw everyone's attention before making her loud declaration.
"Yes, Clan Head!"
And just like that, the Witches instantly changed their way of addressing Lan Qingyou from "Tower Witch" to "Clan Head", perfectly matching Susi.
This actually gave the high-spirited Lan Qingyou, who was fully prepared to direct her troops, quite a start.
However, the shock only lasted a brief mont. Afterward, Lan Qingyou led the group of over a hundred people into the interior of the Cursed Corridor, passing through the Shelter belonging to the guy surnad Na whom they had killed earlier, which still had a massive crater left behind.
The reason they took such a detour was partly because Jiang Lan had ntioned an invisible protective mbrane existing between the Shelter and the outside world. They were unsure if removing it would destroy this invisible barrier. However, there was another crucial reason.
That was because this location would serve as the site for the Adventurer's Guild branch within the Cursed Corridor.
Therefore, starting the array inscription from this spot was the best possible choice.
Although the Cursed Corridor's unique geographical properties caused anything entering without protection to experience accelerated ti, this minor curse was practically a non-issue for Lan Qingyou and the Witches.
Witches, especially the ageless and immortal Origin Witch, were completely immune to this sort of thing.
In fact, to a certain extent, the attributes of being "ageless" and "immortal" carried a certain kind of curse in themselves.
This ant that, practically speaking, the most suitable region to serve as the Witch Clan's Autonomous Domain was likely this very Cursed Corridor.
After all, just because they were unaffected did not an others would be immune.
