Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

Chapter 1353: The Crazy Puppet Makers

After spending several months in the Doll City, Shaya Longnis saw with her own eyes that the puppet makers' promise was broken.

At the beginning --

"Don't worry, leave everything to us, we will definitely create the best body for White Moon."

"This level of difficulty is just average, the puppets we make will have a more beautiful and outstanding design than this."

(Translated by Gravity Tales 😩)

"Moonlight branches as the main material are quite rare, the materials on this list are not good enough, we can provide you with higher quality goods."

Midway through --

"The initial manufacturing failed, please give us a little more time."

"What's wrong with this composition? I followed all the instructions, but the finished products didn't meet the requirements. Did I miss something?"

"I don't believe this is my fault, it's a problem with the composition and the list!"

"Even if I jump from the Doll City and fall into the endless void, I will never make another puppet based on this composition again!"

The end—

"Oh my, what's going on with this composition!"

"Moonlight branches, we need more, longer-aged Moonlight branches. Place an order with the mercenary guild!"

"What, out of stock? The mercenaries we sent out were captured by the fairies. I don't care, increase the price, raise it again. Without Moonlight branches, I won't be able to survive!"

"White Moon, White Moon, White Moon!"

"This composition is amazing, get me ten more sets of the materials on the list!"

"Failed works are unnecessary, let's tweak them in the warehouse and turn them into production machines for the White Moon project!"

From starting off confident, to doubting life in the middle, and finally ending with crazy admiration and research.

Based on her memory, Shaya Longnis handwrote the White Moon sketches and checklist, showing a trend towards becoming the holy artifact of the entire Doll City.

Research on White Moon has become the top priority for all The School of Puppet Masters in the entire Doll City.

Every month brings new achievements, and every day brings new discoveries.

Moonlight branches, originally not popular puppet materials, have skyrocketed in price over the past few months, with prices increasing several times over, especially for older branches.

The soaring prices have driven a group of mercenaries to take risks, stealing Moonlight Trees used for decoration in the Fairy King's Court.

In a bid to secure scarce supplies, the major Puppet Masters' Schools have engaged in numerous puppet warfare duels.

The intense competition has led to rapid progress, bringing about a transformative change to the Doll City which had seen little progress for hundreds of years, all because of the arrival of White Moon.

Just studying how to make the "White Moon model" puppet has many different parts. There are lots of ideas and materials being used that could make many big puppet-making businesses go bankrupt.

This is the first time in the history of Doll City that all puppet-making styles are working together and competing to solve a challenge.

It is also a chance to change the order in Doll City and challenge the fixed positions of different puppet-making styles.

When facing the White Moon, which represents the ultimate fantasy of puppet makers, every style is excited.

Making a perfect puppet body for the White Moon, reaching a hundred percent match, has become the goal for all The School of Puppet Masters, no matter the cost.

Now, the only measure left to determine the top-ranking School of Puppet Masters is the match of the puppet body for White Moon.

Until Shaya Longnis left Doll City, the highest record was only thirty-one percent, which is not even a passing score.

Each Puppet Masters School is trying their best to improve their White Moon puppet by even just one percent, searching for better materials and studying new puppet-making methods.

This is a prosperous time in the history of Doll City, destined to be a great era in the history of puppet makers.

All puppet makers are grateful to be able to be active in this era.

Those who can leave their names in this era will surely become legends.

And the puppet maker who can create a 100% perfect puppet body for White Moon is almost certain to advance to the highest rank of legend puppet makers!

Even a few puppet makers who have been hidden for a long time and are already legends were shocked for the sake of that Grand Level.

The creator of a certain school known for its obsession with the golden ratio human body, specializing in puppets with long legs and 100% realism.

A genius who only makes one-quarter dolls and excels in crafting tiny puppets.

A master who is fascinated with gothic little girl themes, especially the scythe-shaped gothic battle puppets.

A puppet maker who has been sticking to the Rococo style for ten thousand years without wavering, renowned for their light and gorgeous court style.

Because of the appearance of White Moon, all the remaining legend rank puppet makers in the Doll City have without exception returned, some even rushing back from the unknown region of Endless God's Domain overnight to the Doll City.

The puppets they made were all priceless, but none of them had a soul and wisdom as spiritual and wise as White Moon's.

Creating a soul and wisdom for the puppets has always been the puppet maker's goal. The soul here is not the twisted and malicious spirits that black magic can summon.

What puppet makers desire is a pure, pristine blueprint like a blank canvas that can depict endless scenery; a pure soul that can perfectly match the puppet's body.

White Moon possesses such a special and pure soul. If the faceless god represents a perfect vessel, then White Moon is a naturally perfect soul, the treasure that all puppet makers dream of.

The only thing that puzzled the legendary puppet makers was why White Moon existed as a sole soul.

She clearly had her own puppet body once, and that sketch and list are the best proof.

For puppet makers who are already famous for their paranoia and madness in various mysterious professions, creating White Moon's puppet body is an irresistible temptation.

"So, those idiots wasted all my materials, not even producing a decent product."

"They shamelessly asked me if I could provide them with White Moon's past body for research."

"A group of people who can't achieve anything well but cause a lot of trouble, why would I bother with them if I had the chance!"

After scolding all four puppet makers of the legendary rank thoroughly, Shaya Longnis felt just a little bit better.

There's no way around it, those puppet makers really disappointed people!
