Chapter 2242: Chapter 1125: Witch Shock

"Yay, I didn’t expect I could actually have magic eyes."

Dorothy’s heart was dancing with joy.

She had envied the power of magic eyes countless times, and which homebody hasn’t had a phase full of wild imaginations? That kind of cool gaze that could kill is extremely stylish, what young person could resist such temptation?

And now, having arrived in the Witch World, even if we don’t talk about the novelty value, just the sheer strength of magic eyes is enough to be envied.

If someone only wants to be stylish and kill with a glance, various pupil magic spells can actually achieve that, and Dorothy’s spell library houses many powerful pupil skills.

But pure pupil magic spells aren’t as convenient as pupil skill specialties, not to mention those that can be called magic eyes being the most powerful existence among pupil skill specialties of the same level.

Most magic eyes are born within talent, thus generally, if one isn’t born with magic eyes, there’s a high chance one won’t have them in their lifetime.

However, there are always exceptions. Although it’s rare to acquire magic eyes later, it’s not entirely impossible.

For example, Yagyū Jubei from Japan with his sole Detecting Magic Eye awakened in times of crisis, or like Miss Matilien’s eye demon template in the previous duel contest, races with magic eyes as their main ability can evolve to have magic eyes later.

Of course, the easiest and fastest method is to directly transplant someone else’s magic eyes, although this kind of transplant surgery has many aftereffects and minor issues, and the power is far inferior to the original owner, but it’s simple. As long as you have money and can find a good doctor to perform the surgery, you can cover your body with magic eyes and become the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord without any major problems.

However, it’s obvious Dorothy wouldn’t do such a thing as transplanting magic eyes.

After all, magic eyes are very expensive, and although Dorothy now has some assets, after pouring all her main resources into the Shipbuilding Workshop, she doesn’t have much liquid capital left, barely enough to buy the lowest lapis lazuli level magic eyes, but such weak magic eyes are clearly not favored by the homebody witch.

But magic eyes of higher grade have astronomical prices. There was once an auction for a Shining Diamond Level magic eye, and the final transaction price was worth several large worlds, which is very frightening.

But upon careful consideration, it makes sense, because the power of a Shining Diamond Level magic eye, when fully unleashed, even Peak Witches find it tricky, and the power of magic eyes naturally grows in sync with its owner. In gaming terms, it’s a percentage-based growth divine artifact, if it’s cheap, that would be strange.

And money moves people, any high-profit industry often hides shadows behind it, magic eyes are the same.

Magic eyes being so expensive naturally leads to buying and selling and eventually to killing, giving rise to an occupation called Magic Eye Hunter, this scum likes to hunt the weak magic eye users everywhere, depriving them of their magic eyes to auction off, most of the magic eyes on the market come from this, those eyes are filled with the original owner’s resentment, making them harder to refine, with stronger side effects.

Dorothy doesn’t want to aid the wicked, nor does she like those resentment-filled and bloody magic eyes.

Moreover, she indeed has high standards, even that Shining Diamond Level magic eye worth several large worlds she doesn’t consider much, after all, she has sisters around her who possess a pair of Jade Grade magic eyes and a pair of Golden Grade magic eyes.

But in fact, even Shining Diamond Level magic eyes are already priceless treasures, and don’t mention higher Golden Grade ones, witches who awaken Golden Grade ones are all Heaven’s Chosen Sons, even scum like magic eye hunters going up is just delivering themselves to doom.

But while magic eye hunters can’t, some other wealthy noble families can, but of course, they wouldn’t auction them, they would use them themselves.

Alas, possessing a treasure is a crime, just like Dorothy used to hide her beauty without daring to expose it, high-level magic eyes appearing on the weak aren’t a good thing, especially in this world where martial strength reigns supreme.

The homebody witch has seen many cases in the Judgment Court archives of murder for eyes, swallowing of bones, or direct soul possession, even though on the surface these things are prohibited, the loose lordly council system of the Witch World naturally means these incidents aren’t rare in the darkness.

One can only say that Sophia and Audrey are both lucky, the Pure White Witch has the protection of Mother Dragon, Little Fox comes from a wealthy family.

It’s also fortunate Dorothy doesn’t have a high-level magic eye, otherwise, her childhood story might have taken a different track, embarking on the road of the traditional protagonist that fights their way up through adversity.

Oh, it might have been a dad-centric story instead, where Adam picks up the Heroic Inheritance and starts slaying through masses, cleaning up the filthy world to protect his daughter’s growth.

In any case, forget about transplanting magic eyes, if it were real, it might be the tragic situation of a sister’s demise and the protagonist inheriting the magic eye in tears, vowing to inspect the world’s routine properly in their stead, to this, Dorothy would without hesitation kick that cliché plot out, the Family Knight can’t stand such things.

Luckily, unintended planting turns into a fortunate outcome, that rare opportunity for acquiring magic eyes did come her way, and she finally obtained the magic eyes she had long dreamed of.

"Well, even though I gained it unintentionally, others might not be so lucky, tsk tsk tsk...."
