When Explorer One noticed Ron, it immediately stopped working and respectfully saluted:
"Master Nari has already instructed that if you need anything, please feel free to ask."
"You've changed a lot, Explorer One."
Ron smiled and said, "It looks like Mother has been quite mindful in her modifications."
"Yes, Master."
Explorer One's voice was filled with gratitude:
"Master Nari not only reshaped my body but also infused me with higher-level intelligence. This is a gift from Master."
As Ron immersed himself in observing Nari's domain, an unexpected figure appeared in his field of vision.
In the side hall, a familiar white-haired Witch was attentively cleaning a peculiar sculpture.
"Uphemia?"
Ron blinked in disbelief, confirming that he wasn't mistaken.
It was indeed his ally Uphemia.
But at this moment, she was a far cry from the proud and confident figure he remembered.
The Witch meticulously polished the sculpture with silk.
