Chapter 169
"Respected Young Lady, this is the land deed. Please keep it well. From now on, this sky island is yours. Thank you very much for your help to our academy. We will not forget your kindness."
Two hours later, a beautiful young witch who looked about thirty years old handed a document to Dorothy. From her expression, it could be seen that she was very happy at this moment and was truly grateful to Dorothy.
"You are polite, Ms. Tennyson."
The Home Witch also showed a smile, and both sides exchanged polite words.
Soon, the beautiful young woman took her bulging wallet and left, leaving Dorothy looking at the number on her ID card that had been directly halved with some sadness.
It's just that such sadness didn't last long. After that Ms. Tennyson walked away, the Home Witch suddenly became radiant.
"Good, this wave I made a blood profit. After sixteen years, I finally became a person with a house."
The small goal of buying a house that had always been there was suddenly realized so unexpectedly. For a while, this made Dorothy feel like a dream.
The Ms. Tennyson just now could be seen from the name—she is the owner of this sky island, the founder of Tennyson Academy, a scientific research Great Witch.
Generally, witches think about establishing some foundation after being promoted to Great Witch. Armed witches will think about establishing territory, and scientific research witches will generally form witch societies.
Of course, if you can't fight and don't know how to do business, then there are so-called iron rice bowl industries to consider, such as the education industry.
This Ms. Tennyson is like this. She threw all her savings over the years into opening that Tennyson Academy. Originally, she thought she could form her own team by relying on this academy.
However, reality gave this witch, who actually couldn't be considered young, a fierce slap, making her understand what a pit the education industry in the Witch World is.
If this were another place, she, a Great Witch, would be considered a superior person, and she would be respected wherever she went. But in the Witch Academy.....
Sigh, an ordinary Great Witch without any famous achievements is really hard to mix here.
Seeing that the school was about to close down, in order to stop the loss in time, this Ms. Tennyson had to tearfully start selling school assets, preparing to withdraw money and run away. This laboratory was originally a relatively valuable facility in the academy. She was still counting on selling it for a good price.
As a result, before the auction house people had time to come over for appraisal, it was bombed into ruins by unknown people. It was really raining on top of a leaky house.
Fortunately, just when she was lamenting how bitter her life was, the academy's Correction Team found her and asked if this laboratory ruin was still for sale, and someone was willing to buy the ruin at half the price of a normal small sky island.
To this, Tennyson naturally chose to sell. After all, this sky island ruin was useless in her hands. She didn't have the money to repair it, and not only the maintenance fee, but the docking fee for the sky island to stop in the academy's territory had to be paid every month. Otherwise, she would have to find someone to pull this sky island ruin away, which would cost money. Who could stand this?
And now someone was actually willing to take over this ruin that had no value, and even gave a "high" price of half the price of a normal sky island. Tennyson naturally had no reason not to sell.
Of course, she was a bit confused and even suspicious in her heart. She even suspected that it was the buyer who blew up her sky island to suppress the price, and then appeared to acquire the ruin with the posture of a savior.
It's just that when she met this buyer, the suspicion in her heart directly disappeared. After all, she never thought that the person who took a fancy to her small broken island was the Young Lady who had been the most popular in the academy recently.
Who is the Young Lady?
That is the second real genius of the nine-door joint examination after the Demon King. Not to mention whether she can achieve the great cause of the Witch King like the Demon King in the future, but a Peak guarantee and Sage hope is already a nailed-down thing. How could such a character crave her small broken island of a fallen family?
And after learning that the Young Lady just took a fancy to the quiet environment of this land and wanted this sky island as a club station, Tennyson only had gratitude left in her heart.
She even felt in her heart that the Young Lady gave too high a price. After all, she also looked at the miserable state of this laboratory sky island. In her view, this is basically a pile of recyclable garbage. Selling it as waste could sell for one-fifth of the price of a normal sky island.
And after all, this Young Lady has an unlimited future. Being able to have the opportunity to make friends now is also good. So Tennyson even took the initiative to lower the price. She was willing to sell the waste at one-fifth of the normal price, but the Young Lady firmly disagreed, saying directly that she knew she was having difficulties recently and didn't want to be that villain who took advantage of others.
Finally, after a good "bargaining" between the two sides, Tennyson finally tearfully sold this ruin at one-third of the normal price. She accepted the Young Lady's remittance with guilt and gratitude.
Hmm, in her recent days full of setbacks and bad luck, this Young Lady is simply a ray of light that pierced the dark clouds.
For no reason, she, who was already prepared to withdraw money and run away, suddenly didn't want to give up like this.
Speaking of which, her academy still recruited a few students this year. Before, it was because she really lacked money and couldn't teach, but now with the Young Lady's money, she could still hold on for a while. She felt that perhaps it would be fine to send away this last batch of students and then close the school after they graduated smoothly.
And on the other side, Dorothy, who failed to buy this sky island at a "high" price to bribe her conscience, also touched her chest, wanting to relieve her hidden conscience, but the heavy front buffer armor made her unable to feel her heartbeat at all.
Alright, then it's fine.
"Sigh, this Ms. Tennyson, who looks like an honest person, really doesn't know the true value of this sky island. Then my previous speculation is probably right. This thing really has a big problem."
Looking at the land deed in her hand, and then looking at this sky island ruin that completely belonged to her, the Home Witch was in pain and happy.
"Senior Sister, my little life is in your hands. You must be careful."
She looked at Hat Senior Sister on her head and said with some anxiety.
"Rest assured, you are the person I chose. If you really hang up, I will go to the Netherworld to fish you up. I will cover your resurrection fee, is that okay?"
Senior Fan Ni Senior Sister was also speechless about this master who got the cheap and sold well.
"Fine, I'm relieved with your words."
Having received Hat Senior Sister's guarantee, Dorothy felt relieved.
The souls of witches are protected by the Netherworld system and have immortality, which means that before the Netherworld system of the Witch World is completely destroyed, it is impossible for all witches to have their souls scattered.
After a witch's soul is damaged to the limit, it will be picked up by the Netherworld messenger, and then reborn in the Netherworld. Afterwards, the witch can live in the Netherworld for a period of time to see if she has any plans for resurrection.
If you need resurrection, then go directly to the resurrection channel, and if you don't want to resurrect or can't afford to resurrect, then go to the reincarnation channel.
It's just that the resurrection fee is really expensive. Ordinary witches basically can't afford to resurrect. Generally, only Great Witches and above can afford to play, and after resurrection, they return to "factory settings," and all mana and expertise have to be re-cultivated, which is very uncomfortable.
Of course, if you don't want to start over, there is a VIP resurrection package, resurrecting in place with full status, but even ordinary Great Witches can't afford that.
As for the Peak Witches, they are definitely affordable, but they generally don't use it. After all, witches who can achieve Peak Witches all have first-class life-saving skills, various immortality full, and after finishing the first stage, there are second stages, third stages....
Basically, they don't have much chance to visit the Netherworld.
Maybe there is a chance to defeat a Peak Witch, but wanting to kill a Peak Witch is too difficult.
And as for the Sages above them.....
Emmmm, who do you think established the Netherworld system of the Witch World, and who is maintaining it?
The Netherworld system belongs to the Sage Council and is part of the civil servant system.
In short, resurrection can be had, but it costs money. Little witches of Dorothy's age haven't reached the point of preparing resurrection money, and she really doesn't dare to die. Otherwise, she might have to go to the Netherworld to work as a jailer to earn money to buy resurrection.
But I heard that the treatment of workers in the Netherworld is quite poor, and it is not easy to save enough money during the resurrection waiting period without some unique skills.
Although Dorothy is quite curious about what the Netherworld looks like.
.... The little witch is thinking wildly.....
