CHAPTER 664: CHAPTER 282: ARTIFICIAL RELICS (6K)_3

The trajectory was perfect, precisely demonstrating the foundation of the buildings, causing the tallest structure in the city to completely collapse, resulting in the death of many citizens.

However, these casualties were not considered significant overall, and protecting as many citizens as possible did not mean they would be constrained.

"Go ahead, make it quick, reduce the casualties."

Bai Yi did not intend to personally intervene; handling such matters was best left to her subordinates, otherwise, what was the point of being a Lord?

Soon, the witches discovered that this Seventh Rank was simply a disgrace to the rank.

Not only was he only skilled in melee combat, but he couldn’t even fly!

Even Bai Yi began to reconsider whether converting the opponent to her side was the right choice due to such an unimpressive performance.

But fortunately, the opponent’s melee skills were indeed good, earning a conversion spot instead of escaping death.

Leaving the bewildered citizens for more practiced hands, Bai Yi led her people to rush to the next area.

After one round of combat, eight areas in total including the first one had three human Seventh Ranks, while the remaining were five different Beast Kings.

There was no surprise in this, as it added eight Seventh Rank combat powers to the territory and increased the population by two hundred thousand.

Although these people were not inherently grateful for having been saved from fire and water as they once had been,

fortunately, there was no shortage of those oppressed and dissatisfied with their lives everywhere. Although the conversion ratio may not be high this time, it was still a gain.

After a day of toil, Bai Yi’s routine quickly returned to her usual research, with time passing swiftly once more.

Bai Yi made another appearance, already a week later.

This time, it was because the construction of the Star Ring and the Mother Nest had just been completed, and the transit area had been delayed long enough; it was time to send a batch of potion.

Most importantly, her research during this period had finally yielded preliminary results, so it was time to continue testing.

......

In the Eternal Life City, Lower City District

Vlad was nervous, with sweat pouring from his tightly clenched hands.

Not because he had done anything wrong, nor had he offended anyone. As a veteran of the Eternal Life City, he considered himself a law-abiding citizen and Bai Yi’s number one follower.

Even in the church, he was respected as a devout believer by the priests.

The reason for his nervousness was that just moments ago, he was selected and granted the opportunity to meet Bai Yi in person!

"Do I really not need to prepare anything..."

Vlad nervously lowered his head to ask the Little Witch leading him, showing no disrespect despite her young age.

"What’s there to prepare? His Highness needs you, and you might even get the chance to become one of us!" the Little Witch replied cheerfully.

Though she was displeased that her two moms had sent her to school, she was quite satisfied with the unexpected opportunity to meet Bai Yi.

In her cheerful mood, she didn’t hesitate to resolve the doubts of the designated experimental subjects behind her.

Regarding becoming one of them, it was indeed true.

Based on what she learned in school, those selected as experimental subjects by His Highness could generally become qualified under normal circumstances.

The normal channels to become a witch had long been set with strict demands by His Highness; without original capabilities or extraordinary power, there was simply no opportunity.

Otherwise, with the faith of the twenty-two followers behind her, they would definitely be ushered into becoming witches!

"Heh, once you become witches, you’ll probably be sent to school to learn, and then I’ll be your senior sister!

Then, at school, I’ll look out for you!"

The Little Witch boastfully patted her chest while assuring them, engaging in an amusing conversation with the followers, primarily boasting while the followers responded in awe.

Despite boasting, the Little Witch did not neglect her primary task, using the Sky Control Technique to fly, swiftly bringing Vlad and the others to the enormous giant tree, towering even over the Eternal Life City (not an exaggeration).

"His Highness, the people have arrived~"

The Little Witch, with no reverence, shouted to Bai Yi, who had been waiting.

Bai Yi nodded to acknowledge the Little Witch, who she had heard of and paid attention to online.

"Don’t leave, you’ll need to take them back later."

Stopping the Little Witch who was about to depart, Bai Yi approached the group of experimental subjects, with Vlad being the first one selected by her.

"I want you to come here because I need you to participate in an experiment. I will grant you a portion of power, and afterward, you will need to report your mastery of this power at all times.

Once completed, you will have the opportunity to become witches."

Vlad was thrilled, but before he could express his loyalty and gratitude, Bai Yi raised a hand and pressed it against his head.

Though he saw nothing in Bai Yi’s hand, he clearly felt something drilling into his mind.

A force, nearly driving him mad, surged into his brain as if it were about to explode, countless incoherent voices echoed repeatedly in his mind, causing him great agony.

However, Bai Yi’s words continuously echoed in his mind, and the faith in Bai Yi was like a lifeline, allowing him to barely hold on amid the chaos.

The thought of contributing power for Bai Yi and becoming a witch allowed him to maintain the last shred of consciousness amid the turmoil.
