Chapter 490: Then Let's Be a Bit More High-Profile

At the thought of being able to torment those invaders and the scumbags who played with the bodies of her compatriots, Diana's entire mood improved significantly.

Subsequently, she entered a working state and began to fundamentally consider Lan Qingyou's proposal.

After all, as the Clan Leader, Lan Qingyou basically didn't participate in management affairs.

But she had always controlled the general direction of the clan.

There had been quite a few proposals regarding the general direction like today's in the past.

Basically, Diana was the one to implement them.

So for some specific matters, Diana needed to have a vague concept of them.

Especially for things like this that required every Witch to do.

She remembered the last time she required the whole clan to learn something was back when Magic Arrays were first introduced, right?

"However, this 'simple' refers to making low-level Magic Books, for example, E-rank and D-rank ones. Even this book is only C-rank."

"The key problem still lies in the materials. Before finding materials with enough strength, I think the highest rank wouldn't exceed C-rank, right."

As she spoke, Lan Qingyou handed the most basic theoretical knowledge she had produced to Diana.

She indeed didn't lie about this.

In fact, this Book of Curses in front of her was made using the skin of the Beast Emperor.

But even using this S-rank material, with her craftsmanship she could only make a C-rank one. One could imagine how difficult this must be.

This 'difficult' naturally didn't refer to the production process.

It was more about the existence of the magical item known as the 'Magic Book' itself.

After all, even as the inventor, Lan Qingyou had to admit that this was completely a shortcut to cheat.

It was an existence that ran completely counter to all the Gu Breeding events the world's will had done so far.

So it was only natural that it would be greatly restricted.

Yes.

In Lan Qingyou's eyes, even the previously occurred Forsaken War was nothing more than a part of the world's will's actions.

Gu Breeding, this term was first spoken by someone who discovered that District 666 was a prisoner district at the beginning of the area Lan Qingyou was teleported to in this world.

And in fact, before the first server merge, the entire district was also like Gu Breeding, eventually leaving only about a hundred people.

In Lan Qingyou's eyes, whether it was the server merges, the launch of the [Race Era] version, or herself being unexpectedly trapped later, they were all Gu Breeding.

On the other side.

After Diana heard that the Magic Book was actually just pages of Magic Scrolls linked together, she was completely dumbfounded.

This long-existing thing could actually be used in such a place?

No... putting it this way, Magic Scrolls were originally page-by-page items anyway. If they were linked together using another method and used permanently, then wouldn't that just be a book?

Tsk.

She truly never thought of this angle.

No, it was because it was too natural that she actually hadn't thought about it at all.

"Wouldn't this be too high-profile?"

Although tormenting these people was indeed very satisfying.

But if every Witch learned a kind of curse and tormented them together, then it wouldn't just be a question of whether it was satisfying or not, but a question of definitely being exposed.

Lan Qingyou had also said she wanted all Transmigrators to know how formidable the Witch Clan was, so much so that they'd know the fate of offending the Witch Clan.

But doing so was tantamount to walking down the same old path again.

After arousing people's jealousy, nobody knew what those jealous people would do.

"Hmph, what's so high-profile or not high-profile about this? Since things have already come to this, rather than acting like a cowardly turtle, it's better to be a bit more arrogant."

Lan Qingyou coldly snorted, then grinned with a sneer.

"If you're only a head taller than them, they'll be unconvinced and will try every means to drag you down to make a name for themselves."

"But if we are a whole body-length above them, I believe no one would care whether Witches are formidable or not."

This trick was something Lan Qingyou thought of after her very first appearance on TV back then.

In practice, it was exceptionally effective.

When the Race Era started the second time using the Witch Potion, the number of people flaming her on the world channel decreased.

This also made Lan Qingyou's subsequent activities much more relaxed.

If looking at it from this perspective, her previous plans for the Witch Clan were still too conservative.

That was what led to some idiots looking for trouble with the Witch Clan under the instigation of people with hidden motives.

And after hearing this, Diana also nodded.

The formidability of the Witch Clan was an indisputable fact itself.

Under these circumstances, trying to cover it up was simply impossible.

Rather than making things difficult for herself by doing the impossible, why not let herself off the hook and find something easier to do?

Compared to covering up, enhancing themselves and their image naturally required being a bit more high-profile.

Thus, Diana began to discuss some detailed matters with Lan Qingyou.

"By the way, regarding the incantation, if other members want to develop their own curse-type magic, would it also be better to compose a matching incantation?"

After finishing the discussion on details, Diana touched the Book of Curses on the desk and asked Lan Qingyou.

Actually, as one of the angriest people, she wanted to go out right now to collect some unknown mana residues to teach those guys a good lesson.

But obviously, this was impossible.

So as a way to satisfy her craving, she wanted to thoroughly ask all the questions in her heart.

"That's for sure. The incantation is actually to enhance mental concentration. Isn't there a meditation method? Using it in conjunction can reduce the backlash effect."

"However, one must be careful of backlash when developing curses. After all, cursing someone else is also cursing oneself in a sense."

Knowing that everyone had a strong curiosity towards magic and new knowledge, Lan Qingyou very considerately reminded Diana.

Incidentally, also having her pass this message along.

So as to avoid other kids causing trouble when trying to develop new curses.

Actually, when she herself was developing the few curses recorded in this Book of Curses, she was often cursed.

Really.

As someone who had experienced it firsthand, although the curse-type magics were only E-rank, that kind of bone-deep pain that couldn't be treated, and couldn't even be touched to soothe the specific location, was truly unbearable.

The term 'scratching an itch from outside the boot' was probably the most suitable to describe these few low-level curses.

Although in terms of effect, they seemed a bit like a joke.

But if it flared up during a battle, it was indeed something fatal.

Even if not in battle, just simply happening in daily life, it would be extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, enduring this kind of thing wasn't something anyone could do, not to mention having to endure it constantly.

It was also because of this that Lan Qingyou hurried to develop [Curse Reflection], a magic that could fundamentally resolve curses.
