Chapter 587: Dorothy, Rising Coffin and Getting Rich

Early the next morning, Dorothy had already ridden her broom to Brewster Academy. In that familiar, inconspicuous campus building, she saw her teacher after a long time.

"Teacher, good morning. You've finally come out of seclusion."

Dorothy jumped off the broom and greeted her.

"Hmm, it wasn't supposed to be this fast, but I received a commission I couldn't refuse, so I had to come out early."

Nuo Er Luo Si nodded and answered somewhat unnaturally.

Honestly, facing this disciple who was looking at her with burning eyes, as if a widow of a "tiger-and-wolf" age had seen a strong man, the Spider Witch felt immense pressure.

During this time, she had really tried very hard to compile the teaching materials, but such things really couldn't be rushed. After all, she truly regarded Dorothy as a disciple to inherit her life's skills, wishing she could teach her everything she knew, so the materials had to be refined and could absolutely not be done perfunctorily.

And refining naturally meant sacrificing efficiency. Over the past month or so, she had only just managed to complete the teaching materials for the advanced courses following the basic courses.

As for the elite courses, professional courses, and master courses that followed, she had only just written an outline.

Of course, the teaching materials for this advanced course were more than ten times the content of the previous basic courses. If taught to an ordinary little witch, it would be enough for them to learn for ten or twenty years. After all, after finishing this advanced course, one would basically be considered a qualified puppeteer and architect.

However, thinking of the terrifying talent of this precious disciple who had finished the basic courses that took others several years to learn in just a few days, and not only finished them but also modified and optimized them, Nuo Er Luo Si couldn't help but swallow nervously.

Damn it, normally, when a student meets a teacher, shouldn't it be the student who is nervous for fear of the teacher checking their homework? Why am I, the teacher, nervous now? Where exactly did the problem go wrong?

Spider Teacher thought somewhat depressedly.

She didn't know how long this advanced course could last this time, hoping it could last for a month or two, so as to leave her some time to continue writing the subsequent elite courses.

Of course, while slightly depressed, Nuo Er Luo Si was more happy in her heart. After all, how could a qualified teacher not feel gratified and happy when seeing a disciple so excellent that they would surely surpass their master?

Therefore, although she was still a little uneasy, Spider Teacher nodded gently and calmly on the surface, and then asked her disciple with the majesty of a teacher about the homework she had left before going into seclusion.

"Dorothy, I asked you to practice more before. You must know that whether it is puppetry or architecture, they are skills that need to be practiced to be learned. Just reading books, reading dead books, won't work. What buildings have you built and how many puppets have you made during this time?"

Nuo Er Luo Si asked.

Dorothy naturally wasn't panicked about this; she had been prepared for a long time.

Thus, the Home Witch even impatiently pulled out a large stack of reports, as thick as a dictionary, from her magic bag, placed them heavily into Spider Teacher's hands, and finally said somewhat coyly.

"Teacher, what you said is absolutely right. Before, I was young and frivolous, having the arrogant thought that puppetry and architecture were nothing more than this. But after really practicing a few times, I realized I was still too young. Shamefully, although I tried to practice many times during this time, several construction sites haven't been fully completed, and I'm not very satisfied with some of the works that were barely completed."

"Teacher, I feel that my knowledge reserve is ultimately too small. I need to continue charging up. These are the doubts and confusion I encountered during practice during this time. Please teach me, Teacher."

Dorothy said with full resentment, and as she spoke, her gaze toward the teacher became even more burning.

Hmm, this time it was almost to the degree of a bachelor of several decades seeing a shy goddess waiting for him.

Nuo Er Luo Si: "..."

Spider Teacher, who originally wanted to have some teacher majesty, looked at the thick stack of reports in her hand, each page filled with writing, and then looked at the incomparably sincere disciple in front of her, and she was stunned.

No, I only went into seclusion for less than a month, right? It wasn't ten or eight years. In such a short time, Dorothy, even if you went to practice, you should have completed at most one or two works, right? Is it necessary to make such a thick report?

And it shouldn't be. With this child's talent, how could there be so many problems with just a few "small practices"?

Hmm, this child must have understated it; this might just be a detailed engineering report, not a problem set.

The purple-haired, eight-eyed witch teacher thought to herself, and then she glanced roughly at the first page of this written report.

"'Experimental Report on Reshaping the Core of a World with Natural Death'? What is this?"

Spider Teacher frowned.

She was very sure she was grading a student's homework, not attending some Peak Architect Knowledge Exchange Conference. How did such a high-end topic as reshaping a world suddenly pop up?

She didn't believe it and flipped to the second page.

"Data Statistics on Maximizing the Efficiency of Wonder Building Materials"?

"..."

Third page.

"Design of Fortress Walls for War Cities."

"Sorting out the Construction Difficulties of Transforming Fortress Cities."

"108,000 Little Secrets You Must Know About Building a Sun."

Spider Teacher's hand holding the report began to tremble. She couldn't help but look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, thinking about whether she should instead worship this disciple as her teacher.

What is all this? She, a dual master of puppetry and architecture with over a hundred years of experience, hadn't personally undertaken such large-scale projects a few times. It wasn't that her strength and reputation weren't enough, it was simply that she couldn't find such wealthy investors and bosses.

So, my good disciple, teach me how to accept orders; I also want to accept so many big orders that can feed me for a hundred years in one month.

Forget it, can't bow my head now. If I bow my head, tears of envy, jealousy, and hatred will fall.

On the side, Audrey, who had always been a little transparent, looked at her Second Aunt's appearance at this moment and couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, smiling as charmingly as a fox that had successfully stolen a chicken.

Oh, no, she was a fox to begin with.

Hehehe, forgive me, Second Aunt, don't blame me for not giving you a heads-up in advance. Who told you that if you didn't have Senior Sister's contact information, you wouldn't even remember you had a niece like me?

Hmm, I didn't remember I had a Second Aunt either.

Behind Audrey's full and firm peach buttocks, those nine fluffy fox tails swayed, showing the joy in her heart at this moment.

Afterward, the little fox turned her gaze to her senior sister's side, but at this look, she was stunned and then looked at her senior sister's back with some doubt and curiosity.

emmmm... what's the situation? Why is Senior Sister carrying a coffin on her back for no reason?

That thing should be a coffin, right?

Looking at the wooden-inlaid-with-gold coffin with thick iron chains tied to the surface and filled with abundant magic power, the little fox rubbed her eyes and fell into deep thought.

"Senior Sister, are you playing with Eastern corpse-raising techniques? This must be a new direction of puppetry you've researched."

Audrey, after much deliberation, manipulated the little fox puppet beside her and asked.

Hmm, the reason Senior Sister would engage in such performance art must have her deep meaning.

On the side, Spider Teacher, who had been looking up at the sky and feeling somewhat embarrassed, also secretly lowered her head and glanced at the coffin on her disciple's back. In fact, she had seen it before, but was too embarrassed to ask.

After all, although Dorothy's talent was beyond reproach, this clothing taste had the flavor of her own youth.

Nuo Er Luo Si recalled the various strange costumes of her own "chuunibyou" student days and couldn't help but get goosebumps, feeling so embarrassed that she wanted to immediately dig out a wonder building with her toes on the spot.

However, young people, it's normal to have some personality. Dorothy is also at the age where she likes to be different, be unique, and likes to use this to highlight her difference. It's normal to engage in some strange costumes.

Besides, why didn't I think of carrying a coffin on my back back then?

Spider Teacher thought with some annoyance.

She suddenly felt that this seemed really handsome, at least much handsomer than the bandages she liked to tie around herself when she was young.

A coffin-bearer—how stylish is that? After killing someone, you just stuff the corpse into the coffin and carry it away. That's a one-stop service right there.

Moreover, besides collecting corpses for enemies, a coffin is also really practical for a puppeteer. The huge internal space means greater possibilities for spatial expansion. If designed well, a whole army of puppets can be stuffed into one coffin.

When facing enemies, flip the coffin lid open, and a sky-covering sea of puppets will flood over; that must be extremely handsome.

Nuo Er Luo Si thought it became more reasonable, her eyes flashing with light, thinking that she would also get a big coffin to carry when she went back.

Of course, this kind of behavior of plagiarizing her student's ideas is not good to be discovered, but it doesn't matter. Although her main body is in school, she has a pile of puppet clones outside. She plans to use a coffin-carrier puppet avatar to have fun this time.

Only...

"Soul-Nurturing Wood, Indestructible Gold, Eternal Lock, Soul-Suppressing Nail, Sleeping Treasure Pearl, Phoenix Magic Iron... Is this coffin a bit too luxurious?"

Spider Teacher identified the materials of the coffin on her disciple's back, and even she, who was about to rise to the Peak level, felt it was a bit outrageous.

You used all top-tier materials just to make a coffin?

Wouldn't it be fragrant to take these materials to customize a legendary staff or forge a top-tier battle robe?

Nuo Er Luo Si, who was still worrying about her scientific research funding, didn't quite understand the thoughts of these little rich women now.

But thinking about it, Dorothy is the only daughter of her Dragon King senior sister, so she really doesn't lack money.

Damn it, I really envy Senior Sister. Why did I have such itchy hands and study the two "money-burning" majors of puppetry and architecture? Clearly, my ability to earn money isn't bad, but I spent more than I earned. After fighting for so many years, I haven't saved any savings except for a few hundred puppet armies and hundreds of war puppets. If it weren't for the school cafeteria providing three meals, I would almost be unable to afford to eat.

And just as Spider Teacher was secretly "eating lemons" (feeling envious) again, hearing her junior sister finally couldn't help but ask curiously, Dorothy became energetic.

At this moment, she lightly untied the chains on her body, then lifted the exceptionally heavy coffin and placed it in front of her, then said calmly.

"This is actually the future food for my familiars."

Hmm, she had dumped all of her hundreds of millions of Witch Night points into the coffin in front of her.

It wasn't that this coffin was how powerful or what an incredible treasure it was; in fact, it was just a simple pile of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, piled into the shape of a coffin.

In other words, this was a pile of top-tier materials worth hundreds of millions of Witch Gold Yuan.

As for the use of these materials, it was just as she had just said, the future food for her two familiars, Bastet and Fafna.

The psychic staff needs soul materials to feed, and the growth of the Armored Beast cannot be separated from the nourishment of spiritual metals.

Originally, holding so many points, Dorothy really wanted to grit her teeth and realize her dream, getting a Witch Territory first.

After all, the academy really went all out this time. The Witch Territories taken out as rewards were quite high-quality, with abundant resources, definitely much better than the broken territories she auctioned on the market.

Only, the Home Witch knew herself; her laziness was deep in her bones. If she realized her goal so quickly, her motivation to struggle would be insufficient, and she would start slacking off.

Of course, the main thing was that she hadn't graduated from the academy yet. Even if she really took down a Witch Territory, she wouldn't have time to take office, let alone manage it.

Therefore, territories and such can be discussed later. Her most urgent task now is to solve the food problem for her family of three.

Finally, Dorothy gritted her teeth and directly exchanged all the points for this pile of top-tier soul materials and spiritual magic gold. At least for the next hundred years, she wouldn't have to worry about her two familiars being malnourished. By the time these two little guys finish gnawing on this coffin, they should have grown into a legendary staff and a legendary battle robe.

Hmm, thinking about it this way, a small goal (100 million) exchanged for two top-tier pieces of equipment is not a loss at all, even a huge profit. After all, normally, the market price of a legendary staff or legendary battle robe starts at a "small meaning" (500 million).

She made at least 900 million this time, anyway, the future is promising.

As for why she had to piece these high-level materials into a coffin?

Hmm, actually, it was just to let Sophie Liya use it first. After all, whether it was those soul materials or top-tier magic gold, they all had quite good preservation—ah, ptooey, it was corpse-nurturing effects.

Although the corpse of a Great Witch doesn't need to worry about decay, if it's not sealed in a good container after being dead for too long, the magic power in the body will slowly flow away, which will affect the strength after resurrection.

Of course, the most important thing is that this shape is auspicious.

"Rising Coffin, Getting Rich."

And it's convenient to show off.

I rarely get rich; how can I not share the joy with my good sisters?

"Wealthy but not returning home is like wearing brocade in the night."

If I don't carry these good things around every day, how can I show that I'm very rich?

The Home Witch, who was used to being poor, thought with the very natural and simple philosophy of an upstart.

"Hehehe, Junior Sister, you also think my coffin is beautiful, right? Listen to me, this is..."

... Dorothy is showing off... ===== CHAPTER 588 =====
