"How about it, King, can this Moon Spar Stone be used?"
Sidwell asked, looking at the blank Dorothy.
"It can, it most certainly can."
The Hobody Witch snapped out of her shock, excitedly slapping her thigh, causing the plump and soft flesh to tremble a few tis.
At this mont, she almost wished she could hug that huge block of jade and rub against it vigorously.
There was no helping it, after all, she was a Dragon Witch, inheriting the Dragon-type's greedy nature for treasures. She could restrain herself with other gems, but jade hit right in her sweet spot, and that she really couldn't endure.
"But can I really use this stone? It seems too precious."
After rubbing her face against the giant jade brick a few tis, Dorothy carefully confird with Miss Moon Rabbit.
After all, this belonged to the Moon Rabbits.
"I've already said that what belongs to the Moon Rabbits is now all yours, King. You can use it as you please."
Sidwell said sowhat helplessly.
The King was great in every way, it was just that sotis she was indeed too polite, although Sidwell didn't dislike this politeness, after all, it was a form of respect towards them, the Moon Rabbits.
"Yay..."
After getting permission, Dorothy didn't hold back. She snapped her fingers and instantly, a soft yet bright light illuminated the forrly dim treasury. Then, the Hobody Witch snapped open a gigantic box she took out of her bag.
Upon opening the box, there were all sorts of carving tools inside. These were the tools Dorothy used to make Puppet Marionettes in the past, all of which she was accustod to using. She had self-taught herself Alchemy just to create these tools.
Since the treasury seed quite spacious and quiet, Dorothy decided to use it as a carving studio and started working on the spot.
"Hmm, let think about how to carve this."
After all, this was a rare and exceptional material, and she was carving her own likeness. When two joyful events ca together, the happiness should be doubled, and no room for mistakes was allowed.
At this mont, Dorothy only wished she knew Cultivation, because when it ca to playing with jade, the Immortals of the Eastern Universe were the experts, and the Witches specialized only in gemstone expertise. She didn't have the Art of Artifact Refinent that the Immortals possessed.
But it wasn't a big problem because ultimately, all roads lead to Ro. Without the Art of Artifact Refinent, using Alchemy to modify it herself was also an option.
Dorothy carefully examined the huge piece of jade, while looking at the natural patterns inside the stone to conceptualize the specific design of the divine statue.
After a while, once she had the image of the statue in her mind, she took a deep breath and casually pulled out a long knife from the toolbox.
Swish, swish, swish...
The dazzling and splendid knife light flashed by, and Sidwell felt a strong light flash across her eyes. She instinctively closed them, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw the King had already finished her Blood Shake and, after twirling her knife, sheathed it.
Um... is it done already?
Miss Moon Rabbit blinked confusedly. She looked at the massive Moon Spar Stone that seed unchanged and didn't understand what had happened.
And King, you were carving, right? Does carving require a Blood Shake?
Sidwell mused internally.
However, as these thoughts flashed through her mind, she saw Dorothy snap her fingers lightly not far away.
The crisp snap of her fingers caused a slight vibration in the air, and when this wave of vibration reached the massive piece of Moon Spar Stone, several sudden cuts appeared on the perfectly square block of jade, followed by pieces of jade beginning to slide off along these cuts.
Jade is hard but brittle; it certainly doesn't withstand knocks well.
Fortunately, the hobody witch's snapping of her fingers wasn't in vain, as dozens of ethereal, transparent tendrils extended out of the void like serpents, gently coiling around each of the fallen shards and placing them back onto the ground.
Well, relative to the original massive jade block, these fallen pieces were just scraps, but in reality, each of these shards wasn't small; the larger ones were three to four ters in length.
Dorothy naturally wouldn't waste this fine jade. She planned to turn the scraps into identity jade tokens or sothing of the sort for the administrative personnel of the Moon Goddess Sect after the statue was carved.
After all, these materials were, of course, from the sa source as the statue, naturally resulting in a high anti-forgery effect, making them particularly suitable for crafting identity tokens.
However, Sidwell's gaze wasn't on those tendrils or scraps. At the mont, Miss Moon Rabbit was staring at the suddenly appearing Moon Goddess Statue with wide eyes, her face full of confusion.
Wow, is it already done? Is sculpting such a simple task? What step did I just miss?
Sidwell blinked her eyes and slightly opened her mouth, wanting to say sothing, but for a mont, she didn't know what to say.
In the end, she could only think to herself, "Holy shit, that's aweso."
Yes, this was an exclamation term she had learned from the King, and although she didn't fully understand its specific aning, she inexplicably felt that this phrase indeed had a magical charm to it and could well express and vent emotions of surprise.
Dorothy also looked up at her work.
Of course, in her eyes, this could only be considered a rough unfinished product; it still needed "a little bit" more detail.
But actually, in the eyes of others, this was already a highly completed sculpture.
The statue perfectly replicated the appearance of the Moon Goddess as earlier shown by Dorothy, wearing a long-eared rabbit mask on her face, draped with ribbons, and with four wings extending from her waist.
The statue's pose had sowhat of a celestial being from Dunhuang's vibe, with the body leaning forward, one hand raised high, seemingly about to ascend.
However, upon closer inspection, one might feel that the statue seed to be holding sothing, or rather, fixing sothing. This inspiration ca from the legend of the Mother Goddess nding the sky in Dorothy's past life, but it also fits with her own deed of repairing the Moon World.
Of course, what the Mother Goddess held in her hands was the Multicolored Divine Stone, while Dorothy's Moon Goddess...
Well, the hobody witch pulled out the Genesis Hamr from her side, placing its handle in the statue's hand. The once small hamr grew larger to match the size of the large statue's palm, which was just perfect.
Although, a floating fairy holding an Engineering Hamr that ruined the scene was quite odd.
"Well, as long as the face isn't shown, my skills haven't declined," murmured the hobody witch with satisfaction as she looked at the Jade Divine Statue.
In fact, the reason she had asked senior Fanny to transform into a mask wasn't because she feared enchanting the Moon Rabbits. It was because she couldn't carve her own face well; it was easier with a mask.
"Alright, next is to refine the details, then sand and polish, and finally embed the Faith Runes, and it should be about finished."
After briefly admiring her craftsmanship, Dorothy continued her busy work.
A divine statue, unlike a common statue, isn't finished by carving alone. In the Eastern Universe, a divine statue needs to go through a sanctification process, while in the Western Universe, there's a special "sanctification" technique, involving embedding runes that guide faith into the statue.
Ruthfiel had already provided her with that set of Faith Runes, and what Dorothy needed to do now was to figure out how to perfectly incorporate these runes into the statue.
...The hobody witch busied herself...
