Chapter 498: Sorry, It's Witch-Exclusive Magic
Judgment: "Hmm!!!"
The Fool: "What's going on!"
Hermit: "In other words, the body parts of Evolvers can also cause people to evolve?"
Wheel of Fortune: "Looking at it this way, it should be considered pseudo-evolution."
Chariot: "Pseudo-evolution? It does sound like it."
Moon: "Speaking of which, I seem to have received a similar commercial order before."
Because of Diana's expulsion policy, merchants like Shang Chuan were also expelled outside the Forsaken Territory. However, because Diana had discussed it with Shang Chuan beforehand, it didn't cause any unexpected trouble.
There was no helping it.
After the Forsaken War, the Witches had already developed a crisis of trust. As a merchant, Shang Chuan naturally wouldn't make a fuss at this time.
After all, the Witches didn't take back those few mines, and the profits were still there; it was just that their people weren't allowed to enter, and were replaced by Golems to mine.
Shang Chuan naturally wouldn't have any objections to this.
Magician: "A commercial order? What specifically?"
Now they couldn't care less about the Race War the world's will had announced earlier.
Because if this matter were true, it would only cause this Race War to escalate further.
When the time came, it would be a massive free-for-all among the entire Transmigrator community.
To put it more seriously, calling it a 'World War' of another world wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Shang Chuan: "I can't say the specifics due to confidentiality principles, but it's generally about the transportation of some frozen goods."
...
Frozen goods...
Associated with the previous matters...
Justice: "I suddenly feel like I'm a person full of a sense of justice."
Empress: "After all, your codename is Justice."
Hermit: "However, although I feel it's very disgusting, I must say that people who want to fight for a way to stand out, or simply want to enhance their strength, are not in the minority."
Chariot: "There's no helping it. If we hadn't been lucky at the beginning and learned quite a few skills, who knows what state we would be in now."
Sun: "Although that's true, to put it bluntly, the achievements everyone has now are also built on a foundation of personal effort plus some elements of luck."
Sun: "Let's not mention other things, just take the most typical lifestyle skills. Many people have learned them, but very few could persist. On this point alone, I disagree with Chariot's statement."
Chariot: "Uh... I was just lamenting, it hasn't risen to the level of a statement."
Indeed.
Everyone knew how they started out.
Apart from a small minority who hadn't suffered much hardship, the rest only developed under their best efforts.
Especially [Empress] Jiang Lan and [Justice] Riesling, these two major planters.
When they were opening up their farms back then, they suffered quite a bit.
But after entering Tarot Manor, they exchanged items, information, and research results with each other, and only then did things gradually improve.
Among them, Jiang Lan was slightly better off because she joined the Manor early, while Riesling only joined when his orchard had basically taken shape.
Judgment: "Let's not talk about this anymore. We better talk about the matter the world's will just announced."
After everyone basically understood what those actions of the Demon Hunters or Transmigrators were for, they finally extended the topic to the announcement of the world's will.
In the Magician's words, this was the 'main topic'.
However, because the previous matter was simply too shocking, some people completely forgot about this 'main topic'.
Star: "What matter?"
Judgment: "The matter of that Race War."
Sun: "Oh, oh, oh, it's about that. Then you speak."
Judgment: "..."
Chu Yuan never expected that someone could actually forget such a huge matter.
However, what Lan Qingyou just said was indeed very shocking.
If it were true, then it meant that in the future...
Priestess: "Finished fighting. The eyes of these Demon Hunters indeed had scarlet Demon Eyes in them, and each one covered them with colored contacts or black goggles, as if afraid of being seen."
Before Chu Yuan had time to bring the topic back on track, Vivian popped out again.
After the battle ended, Vivian immediately inspected the corpses left by the Demon Hunters.
Subsequently, she found the highly iconic scarlet Demon Eyes of the Witch Clan inside the eyes of these corpses.
This made Vivian immediately believe what Lan Qingyou had said before.
So she immediately had her subordinate Vampires carry back all the corpses left behind by those Werewolves.
Since Transmigrators could rely on components to transform into Demon Hunters, she could also make some Transmigrators who attached themselves to her turn into something else.
When the time came to have these people fight others in the arena, she could protect herself to the greatest extent.
The so-called dealing with a man as he deals with you was exactly this.
After all, whether it was Vivian or anyone else, they were very clear on one point.
Even if their race grew stronger, in front of billions of Transmigrators, they were just a minority faction.
All Evolvers combined, not counting Degenerate Species, were probably only a few tens of millions. Anyway, the number didn't even reach a hundred million.
So only by stirring up internal struggles among the Transmigrators could their own races survive well.
Priestess: "Tower, do you want to recover them on your side?"
Tower: "Of course I want to recover them, they are the relics of my clan members after all. You set a price."
Priestess: "Forget about the price, but I heard you guys researched a curse-type magic. I wonder if you could teach it."
Originally, Vivian wanted the Witches' Resurrection Spell, but considering the price was a bit unbalanced, she dropped it.
Of course, the most important reason was that Vampires were also basically equivalent to being in an ageless and undying state, it was just manifested differently.
Tower: "Sorry, curse-type magic can only be used by people of the Witch Clan, and there are quite a few restrictions."
On this point, Lan Qingyou didn't lie.
The magic she had researched now could only be used by the Witch Clan.
This wasn't to say there were any restrictions, but simply that Lan Qingyou didn't want to leak her research to others to learn.
It was fine for Witches to learn it; after all, it was internalized.
But if outsiders learned it, Lan Qingyou wouldn't be very willing.
After all, if she were killed by magic she researched herself, using 'dying with remaining grievances' to describe it would be a test of her tolerance.
So while Lan Qingyou was researching curse magic, she was also researching the Dark Witch Smoke magic.
After all, this magic was exclusive to Witches and could only be learned by Witches.
So as long as she thoroughly researched this magic, branding other magics as exclusive wouldn't be impossible.
And in fact, she indeed succeeded.
She succeeded to the point that when she shared this news with Elisa—her former rival, now partner—the other party immediately sent over a pile of research materials to buy this magic technology.
Isn't it said that Witches understand Witches the best.
