Chapter 343

"How is it, King? Can this piece of Moon-Clearing Stone be used?"

Sid Weier asked, looking at the dazed Dorothy.

"It can, it absolutely can."

The Home Witch snapped out of her shock, excitedly slapping her thigh, which made her full, soft leg flesh tremble a few times.

At this moment, she wished she could just hug that massive block of jade and rub against it vigorously.

It couldn't be helped; after all, she was a Dragon Witch, having inherited the greedy nature of dragons who love treasures. She could endure other gems and such, but jade and emeralds hit her "sweet spot" directly—this she really couldn't resist.

"But can I really use this stone? It's a bit too precious."

After hugging the massive emerald jade brick and rubbing her face against it a few times, Dorothy cautiously confirmed this with Miss Moon Rabbit.

After all, this thing was the property of the Moon Rabbits.

"I already said that everything belonging to the Moon Rabbits is now yours, King. You can use it as you please."

Sid Weier said with a hint of helplessness.

This King was good at everything, but sometimes she was indeed too polite. Although she didn't dislike this politeness, after all, it could be considered a form of respect for them, the Moon Rabbits.

"Yay..."

Once given permission, Dorothy didn't stand on ceremony. She snapped her fingers, and the previously dim treasury was suddenly filled with a soft yet bright light. Then, the Home Witch pulled a huge box out of her bag with a *thwack*.

The box opened to reveal all sorts of carving tools. This was the toolbox Dorothy used when she made puppets in the past. She was accustomed to all the carving knives and tools inside; she had taught herself alchemy back then specifically to make these tools.

Anyway, this treasury looked quite spacious and was quiet, so Dorothy prepared to use it as a carving room and start working on the spot.

"Emmm, let me think about how to carve this."

After all, this was a rare, high-quality material, and she was carving herself. Two happy things meeting together should be a double joy; she absolutely could not afford to make any mistakes.

At this moment, Dorothy only regretted that she didn't understand cultivation. After all, when it came to experts at playing with jade, one had to look to the immortals of the Eastern Universe. The witches' craftsmanship here was specialized in gems; she didn't know the immortals' artifact-refining techniques.

But it wasn't a big problem. After all, different paths lead to the same destination, and understanding one thing leads to understanding everything. Without artifact-refining techniques, it wasn't impossible to use alchemy to modify it herself.

Dorothy carefully examined the massive emerald white jade, conceiving the specific shape of the statue based on the natural textures inside the jade while she looked.

After a long while, when the image of the statue was already in her mind, she took a slight deep breath and casually pulled a long sword from her toolbox.

*Swish, swish, swish... *

A stunning and brilliant blade light flashed. Sid Weier, standing to the side, felt her eyes blinded by a strong light and instinctively closed them. When she opened her eyes again, the King before her had already performed a blood-shaking motion and a sword flourish, sheathing the blade.

Uh... that's it?

Miss Moon Rabbit blinked in confusion. She looked at the massive block of Moon-Clearing Stone before her, which seemed unchanged, and didn't understand what had happened.

And King, aren't you carving? Does carving require a blood-shaking motion?

Sid Weier complained inwardly.

However, after these few thoughts flashed by, she saw Dorothy, not far away, gently snap her fingers.

The crisp sound of the snap caused the air to vibrate slightly. When the vibration of these sound waves reached the massive block of Moon-Clearing Stone, several blade marks suddenly appeared on the previously complete, square jade block, and then pieces of jade began to slide off along these marks.

Jade is hard but brittle; it cannot withstand knocks.

Fortunately, the Home Witch's snap wasn't for nothing. Dozens of illusory, transparent tentacles extended from the void, winding forward like snakes. These tentacles gently curled up every piece of scattered scrap and placed them all back on the ground.

Well, although compared to the original massive emerald block, these were all scraps, in reality, each piece of scrap wasn't small; the larger ones were three or four meters long.

Dorothy naturally wouldn't waste this good jade. She planned to make these scraps into identity jade tags and the like after the statue was finished, and then distribute them to the management personnel of the Moon God Sect.

After all, these materials were of the same origin as the statue and naturally had extremely high anti-counterfeiting effects, making them very suitable for making identity tokens.

However, Sid Weier's gaze wasn't on the tentacles or the scraps. At this moment, Miss Moon Rabbit stared with wide eyes at the suddenly appearing Moon God statue, looking completely bewildered.

Ah, this, it's finished already? Was carving such a simple thing? Which step did I miss just now?

Sid Weier blinked her eyes and opened her mouth slightly. She wanted to say something, but for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

In the end, she could only think to herself, "Holy crap, that's awesome."

Hmm, this was an exclamation she had learned from the King. Although she didn't quite understand the specific meaning, she inexplicably felt that this phrase was very infectious and could well express and vent emotions like surprise.

Dorothy also looked up at her work.

Of course, in her view, this could only be considered a rough semi-finished product; she still needed to add "a little bit" of detail later.

But in the eyes of outsiders, this was already a sculpture with a very high degree of completion.

The entire statue perfectly restored the appearance of the Moon God that Dorothy had previously displayed: wearing a long-eared rabbit mask on her face, draped in ribbons, with four wings extending from her waist.

The statue's pose felt somewhat like the Dunhuang flying apsaras, with the body leaning forward, one hand held high, looking ethereal as if about to ascend.

However, if one looked closely, one would feel that the statue seemed to be holding something up, as if wanting to repair something. This inspiration came from the Mother Goddess repairing the sky in Dorothy's past life, but it also fit the deeds of her own repairing of the Moon World earlier.

Of course, the Mother Goddess held the five-colored divine stone in her hand, while this Moon God of Dorothy's...

Hmm, the Home Witch took out that Genesis Hammer from her side and placed the hammer handle into the statue's hand. The originally small hammer grew larger on its own, becoming a size matching the palm of this tall statue. This was perfect.

Although it was quite strange for such an ethereal fairy to be holding an eyesore of an engineering hammer.

"Well, as long as I don't show my face, my skills haven't regressed."

Looking at this jade statue, the Home Witch nodded with satisfaction.

This was actually her intention in having Senior Fan Ni transform into a mask earlier. It wasn't that she was afraid of charming the Moon Rabbits; it was just that she didn't have the skill to carve and restore her own face, so it was easier to wear a mask.

"Alright, next I'll optimize the details, then polish it, and finally embed the faith runes, and it will be about finished."

After admiring her handiwork for a moment, Dorothy continued to get busy.

A statue is different from an ordinary sculpture; it's not enough just to carve it well. In the Eastern Universe, statues need to be consecrated, and in the Western Universe, there is also a set of special "consecration" processes that require embedding runes that guide faith into the statue.

And Lucy Fier had already given her that set of faith runes earlier; what she needed to do now was how to perfectly fill these runes into the statue.

... The Home Witch is busy...
