Chapter 247: Sorceress’s Diary
Owen had the Top Hat Puppet carefully carry the corpse out. Before that, still feeling unsafe inside Slime Queen’s body, Owen chose to stay far away, watching the live broadcast through Warm Baby, fully displaying his fear of death.
There was no other way. Slime Queen might be able to withstand Greater Disintegration, but there was no guarantee she could survive Finger of Death, a probability-based death magic.
Besides, who knew what other tricks this corpse had hidden? Owen’s good days had just begun, and he wasn’t planning on risking his life.
After some examination, Owen could confirm that this was a Legendary Mage, and a female one at that. Due to the magical infusion, the corpse was still lifelike, soft and supple to the touch, a sight to behold.
Next, the Top Hat Puppet began to dismantle the equipment on the corpse. But whether it was precious magic equipment, rare staffs, scarce potions, or special materials, none of these attracted Owen’s attention. He concentrated on controlling the Top Hat Puppet to open a magic book.
It was a magic book similar to a Spiritualized Crystal Ball. It looked like a book, but it was actually a book-shaped storage device with endless pages. Inside were books and materials collected by this Legendary Mage, as well as various magical research data.
It was originally protected by a restriction, but it couldn’t withstand Warm Baby’s decryption and was easily opened.
The value of these things inside was immeasurable. Any research by a Legendary Mage cost a fortune, not to mention the time and effort invested.
For many Legendary Mages, the most precious thing was not money, nor rare materials, but time.
Even Legendary Mages would die. Countless mages transformed themselves into constructs or undead for this very reason.
This Legendary Sorceress was very fortunate. She was born into a Legendary Mage family, so she not only had resources that ordinary mages couldn’t imagine in their lifetime, but also had a High-Level Mage as a personal tutor. After growing up, she followed a Legendary Mage from her family to learn, never taking any detours. She became a Legendary Mage before the age of forty, which shocked many people at the time.
Even so, death would not spare her. Without becoming a god, one would eventually decay. So, this Sorceress embarked on a journey to find a way to become a god.
Along the way, she met a gloomy Wizard, a passionate Warrior, and a cold Assassin. The four of them, one woman and three men, traveled together, creating many legends of their own in their shameless daily life.
The whole process was like a female-oriented novel. If there was one more male protagonist, it would be an otherworldly version of Meteor Garden.
But the four of them were indeed lucky. After finding an ancient ruin, they happened to discover a Teleportation Circle that was still functioning and could capture new coordinates. After some attempts, the four of them successfully arrived in this world.
This was a very primitive world. Its low mysticism rendered the entire world worthless. Whether it was the massive behemoths or the numerous Lizardmen, they were meaningless to a Legendary Mage.
But they were soon surprised to find that those foolish Lizardmen had actually nurtured precious divinity through primitive faith. This made the four of them ecstatic, but the ending was not as beautiful as they imagined.
The Sorceress knew better than anyone how precious divinity was. Therefore, although she came up with a reasonable distribution plan, she didn’t let her guard down and made a lot of preparations.
As she expected, her three companions suddenly attacked her, only because she was the strongest of the four and would take half of the divinity.
The Sorceress felt a bit emotional, thinking that the four of them’s happy daily life would end at her hands. But she didn’t expect that the Wizard had already broken through to Legendary and had cast a strange composite curse on her, a curse hidden in bodily fluids, a mixture of three types. Obviously, the Warrior and the Assassin had been bribed by the Wizard.
If this was the only surprise, the Sorceress wouldn’t be afraid. As a cautious Mage, it was normal and reasonable to prepare more than a dozen backup plans in advance. She still had trump cards to turn the tables.
But she miscalculated two things again. The careless and passionate Warrior turned out to have a Demonic Bloodline, transforming into a Legendary Archdemon and dealing her a heavy blow. And the young Assassin was secretly hiding a Divine Artifact Fragment.
In the end, the Sorceress died on the spot. But her final counterattack also destroyed the bodies of the three men, ruining their plan. They could only give up becoming Demigods and choose to become Faith Gods. And she, using her last bit of strength, hid her corpse here.
From this scumbag’s diary, Owen learned that if you don’t have a big enough pond, don’t raise too many fish. Look, this is what happens when you overreach.
Owen shook his head. But from this, he also learned where the gods worshipped by the three Lizardmen clans, Voodoo, Blood Skull, and Black Claw, came from.
Putting away all the items, Owen prepared to return to his original world. As for Ya and the other two, he planned to take them back and have them do some promotion in Green Shade Town, preparing for the future influx of adventurers to this place.
Adventurers were a bunch of fickle guys. To ensure enough novelty, Owen needed to constantly provide them with new adventure paradises, which was also convenient for obtaining more benefits.
But before that, he still needed to solve the problem of teleportation first.
The Teleportation Circle in Ghost Valley Town was not originally from this world, but a fragment that fell from that spaceship. It was accidentally activated by contact with the local Mana Node.
However, it was not bound. Moreover, the Mana Node here was too weak, so it was only activated when the Mana Node experienced a magical tide.
What Owen had to do now was to bind the Teleportation Circle to the Mana Node and, on this basis, build a portal to control the spatial coordinates of this world in his own hands.
Next was to arrange the matters of staying behind. Maya definitely couldn’t stay. Owen didn’t want to manage the territory himself.
Ai Mi Er wouldn’t work either. She was a professor at the school.
After some consideration, Owen handed this place over to Shuliya.
“You want to be Queen, right? Then start from here,” Owen said to his worker with a smile, not giving Shuliya a chance to choose.
Next, Owen and Maya force-fed Shuliya everything about Ghost Valley Town, Hydra Island, and the way to balance the three forces, making her roll her eyes.
But Owen was not so heartless. He first gave Shuliya the position of Deputy Mayor of Ghost Valley Town, then left her ten Witch Hunters as her core team. He also left Ailu Cat, Goat Demon, Minotaur, and Slime Queen behind. With the addition of the Rathian in the Mother Tribe of the Mountains, if she still couldn’t control the situation, then he had wasted his time teaching her. He might as well give her to Maya as a toy.
Only now did Shuliya realize how ridiculous her ambition had been. She felt immense pressure just having the team left by her teacher. She, alone, had actually wanted to plot against the throne of Queen Island. It was too naive.
But after coming to her senses, Shuliya became excited and put Queen Island behind her.
After seeing a wider world, her original ambition and dream had become insignificant.
Now Shuliya only wanted to be a good student of her teacher, to learn, to grow, and to see a wider world. As for ambition, there was plenty of time to achieve it, and her teacher didn’t care anyway.
