Just facing this group of juniors crying their hearts out as a "welcome," Sitle's face grew darker and darker.

"What a bunch of scoundrels....."

She raised her hand and slapped, directly sending these unlucky kids onto the city wall nearby.

She hits people like hanging a painting.

And judging from her skilled technique, she clearly hasn't spared hitting children in the past.

Similarly, the witches of the Chris Lineage were quite adept at being beaten as well. Even before Sitle's slap got close, various magic shields already surrounded them.

They came prepared, adorned with defensive treasures, with rings on each of their ten fingers that could be used as knuckledusters.

However, Sitle seemed genuinely angry today, so with this slap, the dozen individuals had no power to resist, all their defensive treasures shattered, and even the leading trio at the Peak couldn't withstand this furious blow.

After all, there are differences even among Peaks.

Sitle's terrifying prowess was fully revealed in this moment; it was just a slap, and the trio at the Peak were seriously injured, while those Title-level Sorceresses behind were only lightly hurt.

Dorothy: "..."

The Homebody Witch truly couldn't bear to watch this side, so she turned her head to look elsewhere.

"Lady Mia, you're finally back."

"Lady Mia, we were so worried about you."

"Lady Mia, how could we live without you."

.....

Ah, this familiar trio of lines, but compared to the scene of filial piety from the Chris Lineage next door, this side was much more harmonious, and they were genuinely sincere.

They were the smallest group among the three, Mia's former confidants, even now when the Golden Princess had fallen, they remained loyal.

Well, today Dorothy's ship-building materials would depend on them.

As for the last batch of people...

"Young Miss, we meet again, welcome to the Golden Country."

A witch dressed in silver-white came before Dorothy, a smile appearing on her exquisite, cold, and beautiful face, welcoming her in such a way.

This took the Homebody Witch by surprise.

Good fellow, why are you not rushing to Senior Mia but coming to me?

However, she still returned the courtesy politely.

"Thank you, Miss Melantha."

This group was clearly Senior Mia's competitors, led by the Silver Princess.

After such pleasantries concluded, neither said much more; Dorothy was actually waiting for them to speak first since they were deliberately waiting at the city gate. Surely, they couldn't have just wanted to say hello.

But surprisingly, the Silver Princess didn't open her mouth at all, instead leading her people to watch the scene of the Chris Lineage in chaos not far away.

Dorothy: "...."

If you're not anxious, neither am I; she chose to watch the show as well.

Yet....

"Little Fairy, there's a bit of trouble. I asked the sisters, and the latest batch of shipbuilding materials in their hands has already all been reserved by someone."

Senior Mia's voice rang in the Homebody Witch's heart, causing her to furrow her brows slightly.

"Did you do it?"

Dorothy turned her head, looking at Melantha beside her, asking.

"Not really, it was done by the Four Great Warship Workshops."

The Silver Princess understood this seemingly out-of-context question from the Homebody Witch and shook her head.

"But I still have a batch of materials and am willing to offer them to you at the most favorable price."

Melantha said sincerely.

"Then what is the cost?"

....Dorothy continues to ask.....
