As Dorothy extracted Adams's last bit of magic from the coin...

Everyone then saw that a faint pink magic layer enveloped the tiny bit of gray magic in Dorothy's hand.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was one of Dorothy's skills.

However, most of them are no longer visible, and even using detection magic is useless.

It's a stealth skill, and a very advanced one at that.

It just goes to show that everyone has their own unique skills.

Even so.

The gray magic gradually dissipated under the influence of Dorothy's magic.

No! It should be called assimilation.

It changed from gray to pink.

This surprised Dorothy quite a bit.

"This is……"

"Whoever extracts magic power, that magic power will eventually enter a period of decay, then erase the mark of that lord, and then assimilate into the magic power of the person who extracted it."

"What do you think? Isn't this a great idea?"

After saying this, Miss Ouyang raised her chin with a hint of pride.

However, her words were interpreted differently by the others.

After everyone tried to draw the magic from the 100-coin denomination, they all got the same answer.

They really will be assimilated.

Even the allure of Ouyang Qianjin, the perennial "number one on the list," is no exception.

Goodness.

When did Ouyang Qianjin acquire such amazing skills?

That's right, what they care about isn't the Star Coins themselves, but the technology behind them.

Although Ouyang Qianjin said it was an anti-counterfeiting technology.

But everyone knows that even under the guise of anti-counterfeiting measures, these technologies can genuinely erase their individual characteristics!

It's safe to say that even those in Dorothy's territory who had long since developed magical mechanics didn't possess this technology.

How exactly did Ouyang Qianjin manage to do that?

Dorothy couldn't understand it.

In fact, without going to Ouyang Qianjin's territory and witnessing the development of magic technology within her territory...

No one knows how much magical technology Ouyang Qianjin currently possesses.

Compared to magical technology, magical mechanics is considered fundamental.

This is a direction that Taylor was researching back when he was at Black Cat Paradise.

However, unlike Dorothy's research focus, Taylor mainly studies large machinery.

Such as mobile fortresses, magic generators, and so on.

That's why we lag behind Dorothy's territory in areas like communications and mobile technology.

However, apart from that, all the scientific researchers acquired in the science park were sent by Ouyang Qianjin to study the magical technology developed based on Tai Le's theories.

That's why, to outsiders, Ouyang Qianjin's skills seem so exceptional.

"ah!"

Just as everyone was amazed by Ouyang Qianjin's skills, a gasp of surprise came from Dorothy's side.

When everyone looked over, they discovered that the star coin in the other person's hand was slowly dissipating into dust.

Subsequently, the pentacles in the hands of Nini Tier, Esmeralda, Adams, and Franklin were all in the same manner.

"This is……"

"The production of Star Coins itself involves many secrets, so in order to prevent people from counterfeiting, dismantling, and studying them, a forbidden spell is added to each Star Coin when it is made."

Ouyang Qianjin gave such a simple introduction.

Just kidding. Putting aside the paper used, the cobwebs and ink alone are things that can't be told to outsiders.

Although that bat, Zepesh, already knew.

"Very thoughtful."

Watching the star coins shatter into dust and then dissipate until not even a fragment remained, both Adams and the others nodded in agreement.

This statement was accepted.

That's really thoughtful.

They were so thorough that even they couldn't find anything wrong with it.

I felt a little discouraged.

Although they do not deny the existence of people with special talents who might undermine this 'thoughtfulness'.

But if such a person were to actually make a move, all that would be left for him is to become a wanted person by the seven great lords.

Nobody cares about that.

After all, there are five real lords, and one guy whose magic power alone rivals that of a real lord.

There's also the Dragon Blood War Maiden, whom I haven't added yet, but she was also one of the original twelve lords and even gained the approval of Ouyang Qianjin, so she must have her own unique qualities.

With these seven people together, I believe very few people would dare to cross them.

"Speaking of skeletons, how's your hunt going?"

After gaining a general understanding of the situation regarding the Star Coins, Nini Tiye inquired about Ouyang Qianjin.

"The hunt ended yesterday."

Ouyang Qianjin shrugged.

After all, a million people were sent out, and the recovery of corpses included centaur skeletons.

Therefore, faced with such an overwhelming number of people, it only took Ouyang Qianjin four or five days to finish dealing with the matters in the Nini Tiye territory.

"Now that things are settled here, let's go to my territory."

Dorothy said from the side.

She had long since reached her limit regarding what was happening on her own territory.

Now, not only have they shed a lot of burdens, but they've also used those burdens to acquire a powerful external ally to help them.

In any case, it would be best to finish it as soon as possible.

"Indeed, things here have been mostly taken care of, so let's head to the next stop."

With a smile, Ouyang Qianjin waved goodbye to Nini Tier after receiving the shopping list from her. She was accompanied by Dorothy, Adams, and the others.

Carrying their own flying vehicles, they boarded a landing craft and headed towards Ouyang Qianjin's "Mobile Castle".

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect you two to come by motorcycle. Is it wildness or impatience?"

He looked at the two steampunk-style machines that resembled motorcycles but had no wheels.

"This is a toy that was just developed in my territory, called an airship. It uses air as its power source. It's fast, cool, and fun. If you're interested, Skeleton, I can give you one to play with."

Adams said with a smile.

"Forget it, with my physical condition, playing this kind of thing is just asking for trouble."

Ouyang Qianjin shook her head, rejecting Adams's joke, as she looked at the motorcycle's flat air intake and exhaust ports, which were probably used to compress air.

The newly developed gadget is being given as a gift, specifically to a disabled person.

You're up to no good!

Ouyang Qianjin pouted.

While Ouyang Qianjin was watching the airship, Franklin was also watching Dorothy's 'stage'.

Without a doubt, both are applications of magical mechanics.

It's just that the way it's expressed is different.

One leans towards cyberpunk, the other towards steampunk.

Each of them has its own unique characteristics.

At least Ouyang Qianjin thought it was great.

Perhaps I should start developing magical mechanics myself.

After all, she has fallen behind others in this aspect.

Let's just call it a 'technology competition'.
