Chapter 23 – The Phantom’s Witch

“Don’t do this. Stand up first. I didn’t say I wouldn’t help.”

The rabbits still didn’t lift their heads and pleaded again.

“We hope that your esteemed lordship will take us in. We can help you plant, work, and fight. Anything you need, please take us in and protect us, this weak race.”

The rabbit representatives present initially had some hesitation, but now they became more earnest and resolute. This was a gamble, but did they have any other choice?

If they didn’t seize this opportunity to pledge their loyalty now, there might not be another chance later. Not every powerful being had a kind heart, nor would every strong person come to rescue these rabbits who were not their own kind.

Their numbers had dropped from over 500,000 to less than 200,000; they had no time to wait.

After Lolan Hill hesitated, she looked at the determined rabbits and had to agree.

“You can follow me, but you must show me results. There are no free benefits in this world. If you want something, you must earn it with your own hands.”

“Yes, we won’t disappoint you!”

The rabbits raised their heads excitedly, their eyes gleaming in the firelight, filled with determination and hope.

In the following days, the young lady identified some medicinal herbs for the village rabbits, telling them where to find them and asking them to gather as much as possible.

After collecting the herbs, she released the snake’s blood as raw material, mixed with other herbs, and refined a large quantity of blood-activating potions. These not only healed the wounded villagers but also left a surplus, which they stored and used to exchange for daily necessities with nearby villages to replenish losses from the battle.

Seeing that the rabbits’ farming techniques were still somewhat crude, she exchanged some books on agriculture from her system using her borrowing card and taught them step by step.

“Yes, just insert the seedlings into the paddy field like this, keeping a consistent distance between each one. After planting, it should look neat and beautiful.”

The young lady wore a light yellow sun hat, stood barefoot in the slightly chilly water field, revealing her fair calves, and inserted the delicate seedlings into the field, teaching the rabbits how to grow rice.

【Gold Maple Rice】(Bronze Rank): Special improved variety, large and full ears, golden yellow in color, suitable for planting in paddy fields, high yield, good resistance to pests and diseases, heat-resistant. Each generation requires spraying special water during pollination, otherwise, it can only be inherited for three generations.

Through the rabbits’ search, Lolan Hill collected rice seeds. After several modifications and using an [Amber Fruit], she obtained this relatively rare variety. To prevent this rice from expanding infinitely and causing natural harm, she added a safety measure. Whenever it reached its growth and pollination stage, it needed to be sprayed with her specially made medicine; otherwise, it would stop producing ears after two generations.

At the same time, she imparted some cultivation methods of the Extraordinary Sequence to these rabbits, so they could have better self-protection capabilities in the future. By the time she returned to her Maple Leaf Courtyard in the afternoon, Lolan Hill had recently urgently ripened part of the [Full Moon Cotton].

After harvesting the cotton, she first removed impurities, cleaned it, then combed, rolled, and combined it into strands, spun it into coarse and fine yarns, twisted the threads, prepared the warp, sized the yarn, and threaded the heddle before finally beginning to weave.

Cloth was completely different from what the young lady had imagined.

The Mercury Dynasty still lagged behind the industrialized society of her previous life in terms of textiles.

As in ancient societies, high-quality cloth could often be used as currency, and this was also true for the Ivar World for a considerable period.

She inquired in detail from the rabbits in the mountain village. Only the wealthy and nobles could afford good cotton cloth, so it would generally be carefully crafted by master tailors to avoid waste. Ordinary people couldn’t even dream of it.

The [Starlight Cloth] (Excellent Gold Grade) she had woven herself, which was an improvement over Moonlight Cloth, would likely be extremely luxurious even for the royal family. As for the [Twilight Cloth] (Rare Pearl Grade), that material was an extremely rare extraordinary equipment. The emperor of the Cangcui Empire on the Western Continent probably only had one or two pieces in his wardrobe.

Unlike some metal materials, the upper limit for cloth quality was hard to improve. Coral-grade armor might be passed down in some great noble families, but pearl-grade cloth lower than coral grade was rarely seen in a century due to its more complex craftsmanship and higher material requirements.

Moreover, wearing metal armor was not comfortable, so high-quality cloth was always in short supply.

The sun gradually set, bathing the crimson maple forest in golden twilight, making the temperature extremely comfortable.

Under the windowsill, the silver-haired young lady carefully adjusted the wooden spinning wheel. In the quiet room, only the occasional sound of the spinning wheel turning could be heard. The warm afterglow illuminated her, and one by one, silk threads wove into a pure white long cloth embroidered with star patterns in her hands.

On the pure white fabric were equally white stars, which avoided the monotony of single-color cloth while not appearing too gaudy.

Click. With the last thread spun, the young lady cut off the excess part, and a soft and comfortable white Starlight Cloth was completed.

The young lady gently tossed the cloth in the air; under the afterglow, the pure white fabric reflected a faint golden light.

“It’s really beautiful,” a voice of appreciation came from behind.

Who!

Lolan Hill was startled and quickly turned around. She then noticed a blonde girl with silver eyes standing behind her, dressed in a pure black dress, with the collar, cuffs, and hem being deep red, and a butterfly hair clip beside her ear.

This delicate butterfly hair clip was identical to the one beside the young lady’s ear, except that one was made of blue crystal while the other was made of red crystal.

“Sorry, I scared you. My name is Tides. I arrived just now, but seeing you so focused on weaving, I didn’t want to disturb you, so I didn’t make a sound.”

Tides, this name sounds familiar. Right, she must be the junior mentioned by Trinasha. She is still alive and looks like a 17-year-old girl.

Lolan Hill found it unbelievable, her eyes wide open as she looked at this black-dressed girl who was about the same height as her.

“Really, don’t be afraid. I am Trinasha’s junior. Since Trinasha took such good care of me before, I wanted to come and see her student and successor.”

The black-dressed girl slightly raised her hands, a little worried about scaring Lolan Hill, explaining her background.

Lolan Hill blinked and wanted to use the system to check the young lady’s information, then the extraordinary information made her jaw drop slightly in surprise.

Name: Tides Vivian

Race: Human (Adapted 100%)

Identity: The Witch of Thousand Illusions, Chancellor of the Mercury Dynasty, Great Witch of the Night Veil Tea Party, Queen of Shadows, Core Member of the Secret Observance Ritual

Status: Healthy (No abnormalities)

Sequence: Magic Sequence 9·Balance of Reality and Illusion (Rating: Perfect Epic)

Talent:

Myriad Illusions of Phantom [Legendary]: Things in illusions will also have a moment of becoming real; the boundary between reality and illusion has already blurred. (Specific effects unknown)

Ability:

*** (Unknown)

*** (Unknown)

*** (Unknown)

Skill: Unknown

Apart from one talent manifesting, all other information remains unknowable.

Even without knowing her full strength, it’s clear that this blonde-haired, silver-eyed girl is extraordinary. She is a being that spans millennia, with various identities. The Sequence 9 was once called the Nation-destroying level, meaning one person could destroy a nation. Such events have indeed occurred in history.

As beings infinitely close to gods, each Supranormal Sequence 9 is unique because everyone’s soul, experiences, style, and talents differ. Sequence 9 means tapping into one’s potential to the extreme, creating a unique class exclusive to oneself.

For example, some witches of the Mercury Dynasty, Cyntrasa was the Guide of the Netherworld Butterfly in the Necromancer Sequence 9, while Blackdite was the Soul Comforter of the Netherworld in the same sequence. They both advanced from the Nightmare Lord in Sequence 8 and took different paths.

The Supranormal Sequence 9 represents the pinnacle of the Ivar World, while the Supranormal Sequence 10 is more of a myth from ancient legends.

“Mmm, hello.” Lolan Hill calmed herself before speaking slowly.

“Mmm.” Tides nodded with a smile.

“My name is Lolan Hill. I’m the one who found that box by accident.”

“Mmm, it’s fine. It was originally left there by Sister Cyntrasa for the chosen ones by fate.”

The black-dressed girl didn’t blame the girl but seemed somewhat happy instead.

“It’s tiring standing like this. Let’s talk over here.”

Seeing that Lolan Hill was still a bit nervous, Tides suggested they move to the hall to sit on the sofa, which would be more relaxing.

So, the two walked to the hall. The white-dressed girl seemed to remember something and went to another room to retrieve two small cups, pouring some clear cool water in front of them. Not knowing their preferences, she didn’t offer tea.

Tides didn’t mind at all and picked up the cup, taking a small sip before speaking.

“Lolan Hill, what a beautiful name. You’re very pretty too.”

In terms of appearance, both had their own charms. The mysterious and alluring aura emanated from the black-dressed Tides.

Silver-haired Lolan Hill exuded a peaceful and clear aura. However, considering Lolan Hill was only Sequence 2 currently, she had great potential for growth in the future. Strength is also a form of charm, and Lolan Hill’s was particularly captivating.

“Thank you.” Lolan Hill was a bit shy. She was okay with others, but this girl was the peak of this world. The vivid information in the system kept telling her that this seemingly friendly existence was actually extremely dangerous.

Perhaps the other party had no ill intentions, but being so powerful, even a slight thought could determine her life or death. So, Lolan Hill was still a bit afraid.
