"Sister, today I learned..."
...
Dorothy was just passing by the classroom when the children, who were on their break, imdiately surrounded her all at once, babbling about what they had learned that day.
Not far away, Denisha watched this scene, her lips curling slightly.
These ungrateful brats, she taught them with such dedication, yet none appreciated her efforts. Instead, they adored Dorothy, who actually despised them, which truly showed their lack of judgnt.
As for Dorothy, she was secretly delighted, then generously pulled out a few candies and other snacks from her pocket and distributed them to the children.
Although it was actually Denisha who truly cared for the children, which child could resist candies from the mischievous Dorothy?
"Jas, Aili, you two have made the most progress recently, so here's so extra candy for you."
Dorothy skillfully called out the nas of a little boy and a little girl, which instantly sparked their spirits.
Although they were young, children raised in such a harsh environnt were acutely aware of hierarchy. To them, Dorothy, a key figure in the Church, was undoubtedly a VIP, and the fact that she rembered their nas made their faces flush with excitent.
The two stepped forward and received the candies from the Hobody Witch, but their expressions were as if soldiers were receiving dals from a general.
As for Dorothy, she simply smiled without saying a word.
Using such tactics on little kids was a bit low, but these children were the foundation for her future achievents. Loyalty had to be nurtured from a young age.
Of course, in the midst of this, the Hobody Witch's hand trembled slightly, and a larger portion of the snack package quietly made its way to a corner of the classroom in front of a girl as plain as a lamb. That was Koreya.
Her father, Gray, was the first worker in the chanical factory, and naturally, she and her brother were sent to the church for schooling. Koreya, unlike the other children, was very serious about her studies and possessed an understanding beyond her years.
Besides her, there were four other special girls in the classroom.
They were the first batch of Magical Girls.
If the other children were the foundation for the future, these five Magical Girls were undoubtedly the backbone, and their previous accomplishnt in eliminating a gang had been impressive, so Dorothy would naturally not forget these heroines.
Although Koreya and the other Magical Girls were too sensible to co forward like the other children to seek approval, the Hobody Witch had thoughtfully prepared extra-large snack packages for them.
"Put it away quickly, don't let anyone see, and later you can share it with your little sisters," Dorothy whispered to Koreya.
This made the young girl nod sowhat guiltily, then with a wave of her hand, the snack package disappeared.
Noticing this, the Hobody Witch felt even more reassured.
She is truly a Sage in the making, such Talent is remarkable.
These five Magical Girls now also joined the Witches at night to attend the Divine King's evening classes, learning various magics, and though beginner Koreya's learning speed couldn't compare to the Witches, it wasn't slow either; her Invisibility Technique was quite impressive.
"Hmm, it won't be long before Koreya can take the Hero's Blood for the second ti," the Hobody Witch murmured to herself.
The Magical Girls' first transformation, from mortals to the supernatural, was taken with caution considering their fragile human bodies. Because of this, only a drop of the Hero's Blood had been stored in that hamr necklace.
But clearly, such enhancnt was not sufficient. After the Magical Girls gradually adapted to their new power, they would need a second, and a third dose of the Magic Potion.
However, being Degraded Witches, this Hero's Blood Magic Potion, mimicking the real Witches' power of evolution, naturally ca with risks and was less safe than the authentic version.
True Witches didn't face failures in evolution; even if they did fail, they could simply backtrack and try again. But for these Magical Girls, each ingestion of the Magic Potion was both a tamorphosis and a risk.
Their power would continue to increase, gradually approaching that of a genuine Witch, but with each evolution, the risks escalated, and a slight mishap could lead to a loss of control over the evolution, potentially turning them into monsters if the evolving power ran amok.
Therefore, when administering the magic potion to these magical girls, Dorothy needed to keep a close eye on them.
At present, to take the Hero's Blood again, the magical girls needed to et two conditions: one was to completely master their current strength, and the other was to still maintain a strong protective faith. Only then would their risk of evolution be lowered a bit.
In Dorothy's eyes, Koreya was almost eting the conditions for a second evolution.
This speed was even faster than that of the witches.
Dorothy had naturally used the Hero's Blood magic potion on her sisters as well, but as of now, only she and Denisha had undergone three evolutions, Madeline and Senior Mia had undergone two, and Alice and Audrey, these two younger sisters—true younger sisters—despite their good talents, had ntalities that weren't up to par and had only gone through one evolution.
They were watching Koreya potentially surpass them.
However, thinking of little junior Audrey, Dorothy quickly broke free from the encirclent of children; she had almost forgotten that there was still important business to take care of today.
The chanical Church and the factory were now basically on the right track, not requiring her to be present every day. Therefore, she finally had ti to proceed with the next step of her plan.
There were three steps to hinder the spread of the church's faith.
The chanical factory was responsible for liberating productivity to enrich the people, and the chanical Church was in charge of education and eradicating illiteracy to enlighten the people.
Next, naturally, was to address the people's cultural and spiritual needs.
In this area, she wasn't very capable, but no problem—little junior Audrey was a professional in this field.
Just so happened that the Succubus sisters were currently managing a theater under the Succubus Queen, and the chain stores of the Succubus Queen's theater had long been spread across most cities—such ready-made resources should not be wasted.
After all, the entertainnt options for the people in this era weren't nurous, only limited to viewing art exhibitions, listening to operas, singing songs, and the like.
In these fields of arts and culture, Audrey was naturally professional.
Dorothy had planned today to discuss the specifics with this little junior sister and see if they should start with an opera to polish their reputation.
Yes, it would be best to secretly mix in so private goods in the opera, subtly blacken the church's reputation, letting the church play the villain more often.
Outstanding literary and artistic works can always touch people's hearts. Thus, if such works intend to criticize soone, their strikes would be decisive and critical. Played well, it could direct public opinion in a direction very unfavorable to the church.
Having been a seasoned netizen for two lifetis, Dorothy deeply understood the importance of controlling public opinion. When you lead the direction of public discourse, you almost hold the power of speech.
"Humph, I wonder whether the zealots' fighting power is strong, or that of the fan circles is strong," Dorothy mused.
Now, with only half of the five-month deadline left, she needed to speed things up.
Thus, Dorothy hurriedly went out, heading straight for the grand theater in the Inner City District.
Just...
At the entrance to the theater, Dorothy ntioned the nas of Madeline and Audrey to the guard and was smoothly led inside the theater. There, she saw her beautiful fox junior in disarray with pronounced dark circles under her eyes.
Ah, this...
What had happened?
Dorothy was stunned, initially thinking her junior sister had encountered so mishap, but...
"It's so hard, senior sister, creating is really difficult, I can't think of anything," lanted the little fox as she threw herself into the arms of the hobody witch.
Dorothy: "....."
...The hobody witch was speechless....
