Unbeknownst to Laeticia, Mia and Noirciel, who had been uncontactable all this time, had mustered up their courage and decided to embark on an unknown adventure. The destination was their home, and their goal was to enter Baiyi's Mage Tower and find a solution to their problem.
"Everyone, hold my hands," Mia said, intending to hold her sisters' hands to face the unknown danger together. However, as soon as her hands reached out, she froze. Because of her doll form, her hands were now two snow-white furballs. They looked cute, but holding hands was too much for her.
"Sis, let me hold your hands," Bai Vye said quickly. Bai Vye said quickly. She stretched out her hand stiffly and barely managed to grab Mia's furball. When she tried to grab Bai Yuu's hand, she realized she couldn't. Bai Yuu had been turned into a humanoid, so her hand was only a thin layer. Bai Vye, who had been turned into a figurine, could not even hold a piece of paper.
"Everyone, do your best!" Noirciel was cheering for the three sisters who were preparing to go on the expedition. Although she really wanted to participate, she was currently a cute version of a two-headed girl. She was top-heavy and her arms and legs were particularly short, so she would fall after taking a few steps. Although it was very suitable for her to act cute, it would be a complete burden if she went out on an adventure …
So, she could only stay at home with the maidservants, who had been turned into clay dolls, and wait for Mia and the others to bring back the good news.
"Don't worry, everyone! There must be a solution in Dad's lab. At least we can contact him and ask him to come back and save us, "Mia said confidently.
And so, the three sisters set out on their journey. The journey from the mansion to the lab was usually a short one, and it only took a few minutes. However, this short journey was extremely difficult for the three sisters. Mia could not move her legs, Bai Vye was slow, and Bai Yuu would be sent flying if she moved too much, so they had to be extra careful.
Despite the dire situation she was in, Mia could not stop worrying about Bai Yin. "Is Little Yin going to be okay?" Baiyi mumbled to himself.
"Dad said that we won't get hurt in this world, so you don't have to worry too much, Second Sister," Bai Yuu, who was the youngest of the three, comforted Mia.
"But she must be scared out of her wits, right? Am I really too strict with her? That's why this happened … "Mia was still blaming herself.
Rather than saying that you're strict, isn't it more accurate to say that you spoil her too much? He even smeared the honey on the bread for her … Bai Wei was speechless.
Compared to her two younger sisters who grew up at home, she was sent to the Elven Village by her mother with the excuse of maintaining tradition. Although she was cared for and loved by everyone there, she paled in comparison to her two younger sisters. She also inherited the lively nature of the Elves from her mother, Sylvia. She played with the unicorn ponies, leopard cubs, and other small animals in the Elven Village from a young age, so she was quite active.
Later, Baiyi brought her home, and because she was the first biological daughter of Baiyi, she received the best education and strictest demands from her father. That was how she became the most promising heir.
Compared to Bai Ying, Bai Yuu and Bai Ying were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, but Bai Yuu had a very responsible mother. The Warrior's upbringing was much stricter and harsher than that of her father, Baiyi. On top of that, Bai Yuu had inherited the Warrior's apathy, which made her the perfect daughter at home.
Bai Yin's mother, on the other hand, was far more unreliable. Not only did she love to play around, but she had also let her daughter's education run wild, which led to today's disaster.
'I'm partly responsible for what happened today, too. As the older sister, I should teach my youngest sister a lesson, right?' Bai Wei was thinking the same thing.
After walking for half an hour, the three sisters finally arrived at Baiyi's laboratory. Baiyi's laboratory was very different from when he was in Isythre. It was no longer located in a basement; instead, it was located in a quaint mage tower. Such a retro design was a rare sight in the New Empire.
Ever since the construction of the new lab was completed, Baiyi no longer allowed anyone to enter it. Mia, Tisdale, and the others, who were allowed to enter the lab in the past, were no longer allowed in. Baiyi's reason was that the experiments inside were too dangerous and so on.
The young Bai Yin had once snuck into the Mage Tower, only to be brutally beaten. That incident served as a warning to his other daughters, which was why the three sisters never approached the Mage Tower again.
"Dad won't beat us up this time, will he?" Bai Yuu stood in front of the Mage Tower's gate, staring at the emblem on the gate — a giant feather duster. She was still a little scared.
"But can we really go in? Ever since Little Yin snuck into the Mage Tower, Dad has set up a lot of barriers … "Bai Vye asked worriedly.
"I'll give it a try. I still remember some incantations, so I can test the barrier's reaction," Mia said.
Baiyi no longer taught magic to his daughters. Instead, he let them go to school on their own and let them grow up like a normal child. If they wanted to learn magic, they would have to wait until they were a little older.
The Fairy Walker did not teach her daughters archery, and the Warrior did not teach Bai Yuu martial arts. Only the Assassin taught Bai Yin some stealth techniques. Baiyi's original plan was to give his daughters an absolute advantage in hide-and-seek, but he did not expect this to happen.
Mia, on the other hand, had not used any magic ever since she arrived in the New World. Baiyi no longer required her to cultivate, and when she blessed her followers, she only used the Authority of Enchantment. All she had to do was act cute to survive, so she decided to slack off a little.
She did not expect to get the chance to use magic today.
"I heard that you were a very powerful sorcerer back in the day, Second Sister. You once saved a fairy village and an entire city, right?" Bai Vye asked suddenly, as if she had just remembered something.
"Actually, it's mainly because Sharkie is very powerful. I didn't do anything …" Mia replied, a little embarrassed. Logically speaking, she had experienced many things since she met Baiyi, witnessed many big scenes, and even faced great crises that concerned her life and death. She could be said to be a seasoned veteran of many battles and had seen many things. But now that she had encountered something like this, her heart was still not calm enough. She was very flustered. Perhaps it was because Baiyi, whom she had always relied on, was not by her side? Or was it because her age had been fixed at twelve?
Either way, she spent some time trying to remember the incantation. Then, she waved her fur-ball-like hands and began to gather mana. She cast a Detection Spell on the Mage Tower's gate.
But nothing happened …
"Huh? Did I remember the incantation wrong? That can't be right. Let me try again … "Mia shook her head in confusion and tried again.
Still, nothing happened. The magic formation or runes did not appear, and the gate did not respond at all. She waved her hands for a long time, as if she was acting cute.
"What … What's wrong?" Mia was so anxious that she wanted to cry, but there were no tears in her eyes.
"Second Sister, could it be … your body's condition?" Bai Yuu asked from the side.
"Ugh … No wonder they said I'm just a doll now …" Mia pouted. "But Sharkie is so powerful, why can't I?"
A mere Mia plushie could not compare to a hammerhead shark plushie.
"What should we do now?" Mia asked her two sisters.
"Maybe … we can try to knock on the gate?" Bai Vye suggested.
"No! What if the barrier on the gate attacks us? "Mia quickly objected.
"I don't think so," Bai Yuu said calmly. "Dad is not like the Ghost Father that the internet says. He has never abused us, so there's no way he would leave a barrier that would hurt us!"
Mia was taken aback. That made sense. She made a quick decision. "Okay, you two hide behind me. I'll go knock on the gate. If there's any danger, run."
She did not wait for her sisters to respond. She walked to the gate, stretched out her furry hand, and knocked on the gate.
Deng deng deng.
Still nothing happened …
"How could this be?" Mia muttered. She pushed the gate with a little more force.
The gate opened just like that? It revealed a vast and bright space behind it. It looked like a huge square, and there were several huge stone pillars erected in the middle. They looked as if they were going to reach the sky, and there were some magic formations engraved on them that the three sisters couldn't understand.
"Huh? So there's no barrier on the gate? " Bai Yuu looked up at the huge feather duster emblem, and continued to speculate. "Maybe Dad thought we wouldn't barge in, so he didn't set up those barriers?"
"Then … should we go in?" Bai Vye suggested.
"Let's go. There doesn't seem to be any danger in here," Mia said. She puffed up her chest, mustered her courage, and stepped in.
She knew that the interior of the Mage Tower was much larger than it looked from the outside. It was Baiyi's Space Compression and Folding technique. From the outside, it did not look like much. It was not tall or big enough, but once they entered, they realized how vast and grand the interior of the Mage Tower was. It was like a complicated and majestic maze.
The three sisters might get lost if they barged in without any preparation.
But now that things had come to this, she had no other choice.
