The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

After seeing everyone else off, Moran returned home and heard a knock on the door.

The flashing icon on the magic clock by the door indicates that someone has visited the lakeside cottage in the witch town.

"Who could it be at this time?" Moran walked to the door with a hint of curiosity, grasped the doorknob, and with a slight thought, moved the hands of the magic clock to the lakeside cabin icon, then gently opened the door.

Outside the door stood Sylph, beaming with smiles.

"You're finally back! I timed it perfectly and came to find you as soon as possible!"

Moran smiled and welcomed her in: "What's wrong? Is something urgent?"

“Of course!” Sylph nodded vigorously, her eyes full of anticipation. “I came to you to customize a {Mirror Space Card}! I’ve already saved up enough one-time-use magic power!”

Although Sylph did not personally participate in the "Celestial Conquest" operation, the vast card magic market they developed also boosted the sales of her exotic magic cards.

Over two centuries, it has accumulated a massive amount of one-time magic power that was once unimaginable, enough to customize one's own desired mirror space.

"Are the requirements still the same as before? Do you have any new inspirations or ideas?" On the way back to Valen, Moran had already customized mirror spaces for many witches who had made great gains, and he was already very familiar with the process.

“Yes! I have some new ideas, and I’ve compiled them in detail here.” Sylph came prepared, and she took out a slightly curled parchment booklet from her personal space and handed it to Moran.

Moran took the booklet and carefully flipped through it, occasionally discussing the details with Sylph. Once the plan was finalized, the card production was very quick.

"Alright!" Moran handed the {Mirror Space Card} to Sylph: "As per your request, the internal space has been expanded to the maximum extent of ecological diversity, and it can also adjust the local weather and temperature. Take a look and see if there are any problems? If there are, we can rework it."

Sylph eagerly took the card, and after recognizing it as her own, she felt the vast space within it, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.

She immediately invited Moran, along with Vasita and Lilith, who had just returned home, to visit her new mirror space.

What comes into view is a vast expanse of fertile grassland waiting to be cultivated, and in the distance there are rainforest ecological zones, temperate forest ecological zones, desert ecological zones, wetland ecological zones, volcanic ecological zones, snowfield ecological zones, marine ecological zones, underground ecological zones, etc., which simulate different terrains and landforms.

It covers a larger area than Moran's Mirror Space, and its ecosystem is more detailed and diverse.

After exploring the Mirror Space, the four returned to the balcony of Sylph's Witch House to drink tea and chat.

"So, Vasita and Lilith are going to stay in Valen to focus on improving their magic levels, while Moran, you're leaving for the world of Thran in a week?"

Sylph wasn't too surprised after hearing their next plan.

She did not participate in this expedition, and her total magical power increased far less than that of her witch friends.

However, this also gave her enough time and energy to utilize the Dean's Golden Cup's ability to create clones, allowing her to practice magic without regard for the cost. Her magic level steadily increased, barely keeping up with her magic power rank.

Vasita and Lilith have devoted most of their energy to conquering the Celestial Realm in recent years, so their magic level has naturally lagged behind. They urgently need time to consolidate their magic power and transform it into real strength.

In contrast, she was more concerned with another issue:
"In that case...wouldn't the position of Dean of the Witch Academy become extremely sought after now?"

All the high-ranking witches who participated in the operation received a significant boost in their total magical power, and their next step will inevitably be to find ways to improve their magic level.

Without using the Mirror Space's ability to accelerate time flow, the Dean's Chalice's ability to create clones is the best tool for quickly practicing magic.

The more Sylph explained, the more convinced she became, and her eyes lit up:

"Does that mean I can find a successor soon?"

"You don't want to be the dean anymore?" Vasita sat up straight in surprise, forgetting even the snack that was being offered to her.

Lilith and Moran also cast curious glances their way.

“Actually,” Sylph smiled somewhat embarrassedly, “I have enough people to handle the daily work and management, so being the dean isn’t as busy as you might imagine. In fact, you could say it’s… quite easy.”

She explained, "It's just that I've earned so much magic over the years that I've created a few too many clones... As a result, all the magical plant seeds I've collected have been cultivated!"

Moreover, thanks to the continuous practice of my clones, my witch magic level has now mostly reached the seventh rank.

Now, even the Mirror Space is in our hands.

I think it's time for me to leave Valen and travel to another world to see and experience firsthand the real growing environments of different magical plants.

Relying solely on data brought back by clones and explorers for research always felt like something was missing.

Her words had barely faded—

"Me! Me! Me!" Vasita and Lilith shouted almost in unison, raising their hands at the same time.

The two paused for a moment, exchanged a glance, and were both somewhat surprised:
"You want to be the dean too?" "You want to be one too?"

Sylph chuckled and winked at Moran: "See! I told you the dean's position would be in high demand!"

"If you want to become the dean, you should submit your application to the clan council as soon as possible!" Moran advised. "As far as I know, as long as you meet all the requirements, the timing of the application is a very important factor! Remember to apply with a formal letter!"

Just as Vasita and Lilith quickly took out the golden bird letter paper, preparing to write to Amisha to recommend themselves, Sylph turned to Moran and asked another question that concerned her:

"Moran, could you sell me one of those Seran World Friend Invitation Letters you have?"

"You're going to the world of Seran too?" Moran asked, somewhat surprised. "When do you plan to go?"

“Yes,” Sylph nodded. Having taught at the Witch Academy for so many years, she had matured considerably and had a clearer plan for herself:
"I'm not really lacking in permanent magic power right now, so I'm thinking of going to a higher-level other world to gain experience, broaden my horizons, find more unique plant samples, and improve my combat skills. It's not good to just practice magic in the training room all the time."

Unfortunately, there are very few high-level worlds that issue quests in the Sky Well. I've been looking for a long time, and the highest level I've seen is only level ten.

She now finally understood some of the helplessness Moran had felt back then:

"Even if I consider that I haven't taken a long trip in a long time and don't plan to go directly to a world that is too far beyond my current magic level, I can't find a suitable way in the Sky Well."

However, when Senior Tracy presented her invitation to the Starry Sky Palace's centennial gathering last time, I exchanged it for a permanent invitation to the Azure Origin Realm.

The world level of the Cangyuan Realm is just right for me right now, and I plan to travel there first.

Once I return from the Cangyuan Realm and accumulate some experience, my strength should be sufficient to explore higher-level worlds. At that time, it will be about time to go to the Seran World.

I was worried that our schedules might clash and I wouldn't be able to meet you, so I thought I'd get the invitation now.

Moran nodded knowingly; Sylph's consideration was very thoughtful.

With a thought, she took out the five invitations to the Seran World from the {space card}.

"This one will expire in a little over a hundred years, and I plan to use it myself."

What remains are one card with a validity period of over two hundred years, and three permanent cards.

She looked at Sylph and suggested:

"I have some knowledge of the Cangyuan Realm; it is a very large and well-developed cultivation world."

Invitations from close friends are usually given to people in this world who have the talent for cultivation but no cultivation level.

If you go to the Cangyuan Realm, you'll most likely be in the lower realm, and you'll definitely get a spiritual root. It would be a shame not to try to learn the cultivation system of that world.

If one were to start cultivating from scratch and then ascend to the upper realms to take a look, it would probably take a very long time.

To be on the safe side, why not just get a permanent one?
This way, you have complete freedom in terms of time, and you don't have to worry about any follow-up issues.

“Okay, I’ll do as you say, I’ll get a permanent one!” Sylph said.

Moran looked at the remaining invitations in his hand, lost in thought: "You reminded me. Before I set off for the Seran world, I also need to send these remaining invitations to the 'Interdimensional Invitation Collection' managed by the clan."

After the elders of the clan have digested the gains from this trip, many of them should be interested in exploring a powerful level 15 world like Seran.

These invitations will reach their full value if they are stored in a collection.

One invitation is enough for her; there's no point in having more.

After that day, Moran began preparing for his journey to the world of Thran.

The witches didn't know much about the world of Thranan; there was very little readily available information, and what they had was mostly hearsay, making it difficult to use as a reference.

Fortunately, she had heard some things from Queen Ariana and Lady Meredith over the years, and a few days ago she traded some books from the world of Thranan with them.

Although these are all copies of ancient books brought from the world of Thran during the Age of Gods' Descent by the elves and dragons, the contents of these books may have changed over the years, but they can still give us a general understanding of the underlying nature of this world.

There wasn't much content, so there was no need to speed things up; three days would be enough for her to finish reading it.

The extra few days were reserved for Zhizhi and the others to handle the business of Mozhikasen's pet boarding house.

Since seeing her tally up the profits from card magic on their way back, Zizi and the others decided to donate the Mozikasen Pet Hostage to the Witch Clan.

Although the childcare business was booming, the magic crystals earned were barely a fraction of Moran's card revenue, so they weren't of much use to her. Handing them over to the clan council would allow Zizi and the others to confidently follow Moran on their adventures in the Seran world. (End of Chapter)
