Of course.
The reason she had this thought wasn't that she liked to show off.
It was because she had a new idea.
This idea wasn't anything major, either.
She just felt that since it had changed from a small town into a city.
Then it was only natural to add so defenses to this city.
Using her own statue to create a magic array seed like a very interesting prospect.
Or rather, she had never had an experience like this before.
So Lan Qingyou actually wanted to try it out very much.
"Make so more while you're at it, just make thirty of them."
Thus, Lan Qingyou directly reduced the weight of this statue that weighed over a hundred tons, then lifted it with one hand and sent it over to the lakeside plaza.
And after hearing Lan Qingyou's words, the artisans also felt it made perfect sense.
So they went ahead and made another one according to Lan Qingyou's intention.
"Since we're making another one anyway, why not use various different poses?"
The foreman said this.
This also made the artisans feel it was very interesting.
anwhile, after placing the statue down, Lan Qingyou sat on the brim of the statue's hat and gazed at the distant lake surface.
She wasn't looking at the beautiful scenery, nor was she sadly reminiscing about anything.
Instead, she was filtering through blueprints over and over again in her mind.
After all, a city defense system was sothing she had thought of on a sudden whim.
So Lan Qingyou had no ready-made drafts on hand at all.
Although she could just copy Eureka's.
That would be too boring.
Anyway, she was currently in the relaxing phase.
Since that was the case, she might as well stir up so things.
Since it was a city defense system, a defensive barrier was the first necessity.
She did have a ready-made one for this.
But just this alone was not enough.
After all, Lakeside City was different from Eureka.
Those who lived in Eureka were all Witches, so there were many things that didn't require Lan Qingyou, the 'Witch Queen', to worry about at all.
But Lakeside City was different.
Tens of thousands of ordinary humans lived here.
Therefore, she had to consider all aspects thoroughly.
To be honest, in Lan Qingyou's eyes, this was actually more difficult than any magic array she had done before.
After all, other magic arrays were either for attack or defense.
Otherwise, they were just pure support.
But this kind of lifestyle-oriented one was different.
Food, drink, and sanitation all had to be considered.
She also had to take into account matters regarding mana density.
After all, Lan Qingyou didn't want the commoners under her rule to be any sort of ordinary people.
Or rather, they had to at least be existences sowhat stronger than ordinary people.
So mana density was absolutely essential.
However, if all the commoners in her territory were magicians, that would definitely be even better.
After all, firepower was everything.
Or perhaps dual cultivators of magic and martial arts like Magic Swordsn seed pretty good too.
After all, being handso was a lifeti matter.
'Mhm...'
'I can also release a batch of the combat magic golems I made while slacking off during this period to serve as a regular patrol team.'
'After all, the materials the old Emperor sent over are really way too much.'
'I made a batch when I was resting, and then made another batch when I was resting again.'
'I've already made over ten thousand of them now.'
'Even my own cards can't hold this many.'
'Since that's the case, I might as well put them here.'
'I heard from the head maid that not only has Lakeside Town been upgraded to a city now.'
'But two small towns and over a dozen villages have also been built.'
'These places all need security forces.'
'Once everyone strengthens their bodies due to the increase in mana density, whether it's learning magic or combat skills, it will definitely be much smoother.'
'So I still need to make so mount-type magic golems to serve as mobile units.'
'There's no challenge in this.'
'I just need to modify the previous Bronze Beasts a bit.'
Although Lan Qingyou hadn't learned any managent.
Developing a territory from the perspective of a researcher actually made Lan Qingyou feel it was surprisingly interesting.
After all, everything she had learned in her life could be used on her territory.
Although there were a lot more miscellaneous things compared to the Witches.
But perhaps magic itself existed to bring convenience to people's lives.
'Mhm... I seem to be thinking a bit too deeply.'
'Things like 'why does magic exist' are too stifling to think about.'
'If it were a research problem, it would be fine.'
'But this kind of philosophical matter is not Lan Qingyou's focus.'
"Hmm?"
Just as Lan Qingyou floated up and was preparing to leave, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure in the alleyway next to the plaza out of the corner of her eye.
With a slight scan of her magic power, she discovered that this figure was a little girl.
And around the little girl, there were several children who seed to be even younger than her.
So out of curiosity, Lan Qingyou floated over to take a look.
Only to find that this little girl was squatting behind so wooden crates, struggling to break the sweet potato in front of her into small pieces, and then handing them to the children beside her.
And whether it was the little girl or those children.
The clothes each one of them wore were in tatters and filthy.
...
Beggars.
And a group of little beggars at that.
Seeing their frail appearances, Lan Qingyou instantly guessed the identities of these children.
Moreover, if nothing unexpected occurred, they should all be orphans.
"Mhm..."
Lan Qingyou scratched her head in so helplessness.
The composition of Maple Leaf Territory's commoners was inherently very complex.
Landless farrs from other nobles' territories, vagrants, bankrupt artisans...
For these people sent from hundreds or thousands of miles away to die on the road was perfectly normal.
So it wasn't impossible for only children to be left upon arrival.
Although it was a possible thing.
But!
How could Lan Qingyou allow beggars to appear in her territory?
She could do nothing about orphans.
But she could certainly manage beggars.
So after letting out a sigh, Lan Qingyou directly flew down and landed behind that little girl who looked to be the 'leader'.
"Wah!"
The children who directly faced Lan Qingyou were all so frightened that they retreated backwards.
So were even so scared that they directly sat on the ground.
This made Lan Qingyou feel very depressed.
No, was she that scary?
It didn't make sense!
Even if she didn't have the kind of world-shaking beauty that outshone the moon and shad the flowers.
She was definitely not ugly, right?
Or rather, because of the Witch Potion, there were no ugly existences among anyone who evolved into a Witch.
Even Ursula's birthmark was gradually fading away after becoming a Witch due to the magic power in her body.
So it shouldn't be to the point of being scared like this.
After seeing the performance of the crowd, the little girl also knew there was sothing behind her.
So she imdiately turned around and jumped back to widen the distance from Lan Qingyou.
As a result, when she turned around and jumped back, she directly floated up.
"Who... who are you..."
Because the statue was only erected today, many people who arrived later didn't know Lan Qingyou.
They only knew that the lord here was a formidable character with a title.
So the little girl didn't know who Lan Qingyou was.
But in her eyes, this kind of adult who appeared silently behind her was definitely not a good person.
So even if the little girl was floating in the air due to losing her weight, her first thought was still to figure out who the other party was.
And seeing that the little girl didn't panic and flail her limbs wildly during her first 'takeoff', Lan Qingyou raised an eyebrow.
"You're not bad. What's your na?"
"Feng, my na is Feng."
