After pushing tiny Beatrice back into the trashcan, Beatrice then took a few more looks around this underground base.
Even though she had seen everything here through the eyes of her clones, as her main body was much more powerful, Beatrice did not want to take any chances and walked through it herself.
Thankfully though, although they are small, the competence of the tiny Beatrice's must not be underestimated, as such, everything in here was in order, allowing Beatrice to quickly look through this place before walking out into the main floor itself.
The moment Beatrice walked out of the mountain, she immediately began walking to her next destination at a rapid speed.
After only around two minutes of extremely fast walking, though, Beatrice suddenly slowed down and stared at the scene before her.
Dozens of men could be seen standing under the hot sun, sweat filling their foreheads as they tilled the earth using hoes, as well as a single horse.
In only a fraction of a moment, all these men, as well as the horse, suddenly froze for a brief moment, before unfreezing a moment later as if nothing happened.
By then, Beatrice had long since disappeared from the scene, as she continued traveling towards the town in the middle of this floor.
...
As she looked at the town, or rather village around her, which was currently quite bustling, even Beatrice herself couldn't help but feel an eerie feeling looming through the air.
Unaware of the nature of their own existence, perhaps the natives of this town did not feel like there was anything wrong with in, but everything was different from the eyes of an outsider.
A moment later, Beatrice let out a faint breath and continued walking through the middle of the town, completely unnoticed by its inhabitants even though she walked right past them.
With Beatrice's current power, hiding herself from a bunch of mortals was as easy as one might expect, and as such, she was able to quickly arrive in front of the rather small town hall in the middle of the town.
Perhaps because of the lack of predators, or because of the fact that they didn't have any sort of enemy, Beatrice noticed nobody guarding the town hall, allowing her to walk in through the front door.
Of course, Beatrice could easily do that regardless if someone was guarding it.
A few moments after entering the building, Beatrice immediately walked up a set of stairs and rose to the second floor, where the mayor of this town worked.
Then, with the same ease as before, Beatrice passed by two guards and entered the mayor's office, where she was greeted by a rather strange scene.
...
As she looked at the mayor, who was sitting on a chair with a blank look on his face, not speaking or moving in the slightest, not even blinking, as well as at the tiny Beatrice that was currently on his desk looking at something, Beatrice couldn't help but smile.
In an instant, all the memories of this tiny Beatrice entered Beatrice's mind, causing her smile to faintly increase in size.
In an instant, Beatrice had taken a rough look at the latter's memories, and had roughly seen how things had gone.
"Very good, your management of this town has gone very well so far," said Beatrice, causing tiny Beatrice to slightly nod, as if she was aware of what Beatrice would speak.
At this moment, Beatrice couldn't help but take another look at this tiny Beatrice, who, unlike the others on this floor, did not become excited as soon as Beatrice complimented them.
This caused Beatrice to take another look through the memories of this clone of hers, a much more thorough one, which caused her to shake her head before falling into thought for a few moments.
Seeing this, a faintly hopeful look appeared on the face of this tiny Beatrice, who was holding her physical body in her hands whist clenching her teeth.
A moment later, though, the hopes of the little clone were seen crushed.
"No, I won't send any more clones here to help you, there's too many of you here in the first place," said Beatrice after a few moments of thought.
Even though Beatrice could recover after creating one of these small clones, this did not mean that the process was very nice.
Furthermore, although this Beatrice was very overworked, as she had to make sure to manage the town with extreme care, so as to not have anyone escape, she still had time for some small experiments.
This meant that she had the time to do some more work, after all, those experiments of hers weren't very essential.
As if hearing the thoughts of her main body, tiny Beatrice slightly lowered her head.
...
After going on a walk through her newly rebuilt home, Beatrice finally retreated onto the fifth floor and began focusing on her magic.
Ever since Beatrice had become an Official Mage, her fast progress, which allowed her to speed through the Apprentice stages in around a year, disappeared.
As such, even though over ten years had passed ever since she had recovered her strength, Beatrice was still at the first stage of the Official Mage Realm, the Innate Ascendance Realm.
...
Several days later,
As she looked at the demon in front of her, which she had captured not too long ago, Beatrice couldn't help but faintly smile, causing here mana to quickly go through her entire body several times.
Although the demon's own brand of darkness was quite a bit different from that of Beatrice, he still proved to be a valuable research subject to Beatrice.
A few moments later, a feather from Beatrice's wings suddenly fell to the ground, causing a new feather, which seemed just a tiny bit different, more perfect, to suddenly emerge in its place.
"I still have a long way to go," mumbled Beatrice, knowing that perfection was still far away from her.
