"Very well, it seems everyone has chosen a suitable leader, which puts my mind at ease. Miss Witch, you will lead this shipbuilding project."

Seeing that the wind was completely one-sided, the meeting was almost turning into a sycophantic contest. From the master seat, the Knight Sage decisively declared,

She said this but couldn't help but cast her gaze towards that small Plush Dragon Puppet.

Even as a Sage, Arthur couldn't help but be curious about this legendary Spell Master. After all, the frightening speed at which the master produced spells daily was something even a Sage found hard to match. Even with ample inspiration, one shouldn't use it so excessively, lest it lead to burnout.

Of course, out of courtesy and respect for Lady Witch of the Forest, Arthur didn't try to use any Pupillary Magic to probe the secret hidden beneath the cute Plush Dragon Puppet.

However, when one's power reached her level, few secrets could remain hidden under her gaze without using any special Magic.

But unfortunately, it seemed today she had encountered one.

"Tsk, it's Yemengade's Destruction Armor."

Arthur thought with some regret. Her view was completely blocked by her own sister's armor, revealing nothing.

Well, it wasn't as if there were no gains at all. At least now she knew that Yemengade genuinely doted on the young miss, even giving her his Inverse Scales to play with.

The Knight Sage was a bit surprised seeing the power of the Inverse Scales on that Plush Dragon.

After all, she knew how lazy her sister was, and it was the first time she saw her care about someone so much. Even facing Mother Superior, she had never been this enthusiastic.

This was truly enviable. She wished her sister could show a bit more enthusiasm towards her as well.

Arthur thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Dorothy didn't pay much heed to the crowd's flattery, nor did she respond to Estelle's job request for the time being. She noticed the Knight Sage's gaze also focusing on the Plush Dragon Puppet, making her somewhat worried.

She was quite concerned about the disguise of the Witch of the Forest being discovered.

After Miss Tyranny saw through her disguise earlier, Dorothy hurriedly upgraded the Plush Dragon Puppet, enhancing its ability to conceal its aura. For this purpose, she even attached the Inverse Scales that Yemengade's Ancestral Elder had previously given her as research material, which proved much more effective than the barely explored Destruction Armor. It should be enough to block the regular gaze of the Sages.

Moreover, she had also gotten Sophia to add Fate Magic to the puppet, enough to nullify Miss Tyranny's strange abilities to recognize people.

Even after doing all this, she felt it wasn't enough and added a final insurance: this time, the "Witch of the Forest" was genuinely a God Descent. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Yes, a literal God Descent, a magic about the so-called deity descending to the world, which is essentially an application of the Power of Faith. The Moon Goddess Incarnation had always been studying the usage of the Power of Faith and has now mastered it quite well.

So, the power descending into that Puppet Dragon Marionette was actually that of the Moon Goddess Incarnation, ensuring that even if someone did see through the puppet's defenses, they'd only witness the traces of Power of Faith, thus guiding them to a certain extent away from the true identity of the Witch of the Forest.

Hmm, a witch adept at wielding the Power of Faith so skillfully surely must be an Angel Witch, so Lady Witch of the Forest might be an Angel Witch or something.

In short, with so many layers of protection, theoretically, it's impossible for the disguise to be blown again. If it does happen, then it's just fate, nothing much can be done, just have to flee immediately.

If it had been before, she might have only been able to hide in her Good Sister's basement, but now, she had another escape route, which was heading straight to the Mechanical Wilderness.

After all, it's the target anchored by the Nine-Star Golden Contract, without the guidance of the Power of Contract, it's basically impossible for anyone to chase there. Dorothy can lay low in the Intelligent Mechanic Wilderness World, develop quietly, and return once the storm passes and she gains some power to protect herself.

Even though there's a backup plan, Dorothy still hoped not to expose herself if possible.

What reassured her was that Lord Arthur was a man of principle. Though curious, he ultimately refrained from using his powers to forcefully uncover the Witch of the Forest's secret, indicating that nothing was exposed yet.

However, come to think of it, if even Lord Arthur couldn't see through my disguise, then why did it seem like my Ancestral Elder knew everything back then?

The Homebody Witch touched the Dragon Serpent Necklace around her neck, feeling a bit puzzled.

Hmm, Ancestral Elder, don't you know a bit too much?

But perhaps this is the prestige of being the second-ranked in the Dragon Kingdom, as her Ancestral Elder's strength indeed surpasses Lord Arthur by quite a margin.

Dorothy could only guess this way.

Finally able to breathe a slight sigh of relief, she put aside her distracting thoughts and began contemplating how to deal with the crowd's compliments to the Witch of the Forest.

Honestly, everything seemed a bit too smooth all of a sudden.
