Chapter 475: [Witch's Curse] and [Degraded Ones]

Lan Qingyou frowned.

Whether it was exactly evolution or devolution remains unknown?

Why did this sound a bit strange?

"Actually, it's in the report, but it's at the back, so I'll just spoil it directly."

"Sublimations like us evolving into witches or fiends were carried out while maintaining completeness, so it's called evolution. But that was because Ancient Blood was used for crafting the items."

Diana glanced at the confused Lan Qingyou and explained.

"But these guys who used witch blood couldn't maintain an overall completeness when they evolved."

"This caused many transmigrators to devolve into short goblins that only know how to mate after using this kind of Evolution Item. Or emotionless lizardmen covered in scales. Or beastmen covered in fur but with little intelligence."

"We basically refer to this category of people collectively as [Degraded Ones] now."

"Obviously, those guys used the blood of other evolved races besides ours, yet the blame was completely pushed onto us witches. Just thinking about it makes me angry."

Speaking up to here, Diana angrily waved her fist at the vine branches above her head.

Although her fist didn't hit the vines, the vines still snapped under the wind of her punch, and the small leaves growing on them consequently detached from the vines and slowly fell from the air.

No matter what, she was an existence with over a hundred strength; this little movement was nothing at all.

On Lan Qingyou's side, after listening to Diana's introduction, she began to calculate in her heart.

Overall completeness.

Although it was her first time hearing this term, Lan Qingyou also knew that it generally referred to everything a complete human being should have.

A combination of body and soul, cognition, memory, emotions, and this series of things.

And not being able to maintain completeness could mean many things.

In a certain sense, a mentally retarded person lacking intelligence could also be considered degraded.

It's just that they weren't degraded as thoroughly as those races Diana mentioned.

To have degraded into an entire race.

"Ah~~~ speaking of which, my title 'Witch of Origin' has something related to the Witch's Curse on it."

At the mention of Degraded Ones and curses, Lan Qingyou suddenly remembered that she had seen similar words before.

It's just that she saw it on her personal profile.

So, not even having time to look at the investigation report, Lan Qingyou opened her personal profile to check.

Sure enough, she really did find this word on her title.

"Huh! There really is a Witch's Curse!?"

Diana, who was originally angry because of this term, now had her mouth slightly open, looking at Lan Qingyou with an 'are you kidding me' expression.

"If we were on Blue Star right now, what would you think of when the word witch was first mentioned?"

Lan Qingyou looked at her and answered a question with a question.

"It would definitely be witch robes, Witch's Hats, and flying brooms with lanterns hanging on them, just like the set we're wearing now."

Although she was asked back by Lan Qingyou, Diana wasn't angry, and instead seriously pondered Lan Qingyou's question.

"Indeed, in terms of appearance, we are already very close to the traditional concept of witches on Blue Star, but this is still not sufficient."

"Then what do you say it is?"

"Do you even need to ask? It's curses, of course! An old witch with a face full of wrinkles standing next to a crucible, stirring the potion in the pot while muttering something in her mouth. This should be the truly complete appearance of a witch, right?"

Lan Qingyou blurted it out without even thinking.

She could no longer investigate when the Speaker's drawing originated from, but this drawing had stayed so clearly in her heart.

It could be said that the image of the witch in this drawing was what Lan Qingyou thought of the very first moment she became a witch.

Previously, she only needed to pay attention to appearance.

But looking at it now, just appearance wasn't enough; she still needed to have enough deterrence.

This curse just happened to be something that struck terror into people's hearts.

In some places on Blue Star, carrying a piece wasn't as deterrent as mysticism; this was the same reasoning.

"What about those invaders? Has anyone been sent to pursue and kill them?"

"Yes, they are currently pursuing and killing them locally."

"That's good."

Seeing that Diana had already made appropriate arrangements on her end, Lan Qingyou didn't interject.

After all, if she interjected, it would only make it harder for Diana, the governor, to carry out her work.

"If there's nothing else, you go handle your own matters first. I don't need anyone to stay here. I'm going to take a bath and sleep first."

After several consecutive days of fighting, and receiving so much new intelligence upon returning, her brain felt a bit swollen.

"Alright. Here's an introduction and usage method of a new magic everyone recently researched. Take a look if you're interested."

Diana also didn't pester her. She could see Lan Qingyou's exhaustion, so she silently left the first-floor hall.

As for what the curse Lan Qingyou spoke of was, she had even less intention of asking about it.

After all, it was the Clan Leader's magic; if the other party was willing to teach, she would have taught it long ago.

The next day.

A refreshed Lan Qingyou woke up from bed.

After washing up, Lan Qingyou left the Sanctuary.

Looking at the giant habitat tree opposite her Sanctuary, which seemed to be missing something, she only then learned that someone actually made a fortune by selling giant habitat trees.

And the treants she had fought so hard to defeat previously, because she hadn't crushed them to death in time, had directly led to the death of all the combat treants in the south.

Forget it, she wouldn't think about these things. Typhon City was still under reconstruction now, so the sound of hammering would occasionally come from afar, which made Lan Qingyou feel very comfortable.

But now wasn't the time to enjoy.

Yesterday, after becoming clear on the specific matters, Lan Qingyou had a plan she wanted to set in motion.

Didn't they say witches only had the appearance now?

A witch without a 'curse' as a soul didn't really seem like much of a witch either.

In that case, wouldn't directly conducting research in this area suffice?

As for how to research, Lan Qingyou had already thought about it before going to sleep yesterday.

Flying to the teleportation array, Lan Qingyou directly inputted an address, and then disappeared within the tree hollow teleportation array.

Two seconds later, Lan Qingyou arrived inside a building.

Above her head was the scorching sun, but Lan Qingyou didn't care about these things.

Instead, she calmly looked at two identical twins bowing to her from the left and right in front of her.

"Hello, esteemed guest. May I ask what brings you to Elisa's Alchemy Workshop?"

Just like yesterday.

As soon as she landed, Lan Qingyou was welcomed.

It's just that this welcome seemed a tiny bit colder than yesterday's.

Subsequently, alarms blared loudly within the building, startling Lan Qingyou, the instigator.

"I was wondering who would dare to trespass into my workshop without saying hello to me first. So it's you."
