Chapter 2: Lena the Witch
As the stirring gets deeper and deeper, an indescribable smell spills out of the pot from time to time.
"Oh, so perfect......," exclaimed the witch.
Ye Zhao saw that she took out an artifact made of two opposing cones from the intricately carved log drawer.
"Wait, it'll be fine soon. ”
After some fiddling, she placed it firmly on the round table.
It turned out to be an hourglass, Ye Zhao pondered, and through the analysis of a conversation, an incredible conjecture gradually formed in his mind: for some reason that is not known for the time being, he, Ye Zhao, exchanged identities with a person named Stella Avner in this world.
Maybe the Pioneer in the witch's mouth is also a wizard, and he was forcibly summoned here by some kind of spell casting, but ...... Why is it him Ye Zhao?
Although he did have the idea of leaving the real world in his heart, it was all caused by the pressure of life, and he was depressed for a while, but now this situation is extraordinary!
Ye Zhao hammered the skull.
The biggest problem now is to find a way to go back, but before that, in the face of such a magical world, so many magical things, it is not fun to have fun, wouldn't it be a waste to take one or two things with you before leaving?
Hehe, maybe you can go back and make a lot of money by relying on them when the time comes, and maybe you can reach the pinnacle of life!
Thinking of this, Ye Zhao couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"Mr. Stella, what's wrong with you?"
The red-haired witch somehow noticed Ye Zhao snickering in the corner.
"Uh-huh, uh...... Nothing, nothing. He replied solemnly, "...... Well done, you- what's your name? Anyway, I'm satisfied, well, yes, very good. ”
"Lena Giin Shilosingh," the witch replied quietly as she looked at Ye Zhao intently, "the witch of the fifty-sixth generation of the Shilosingh family, the inheritor of the Fire Salamander bloodline, and one of the guardians of the resurrection scroll of Saysus. ”
"You can just call me Lena," she leaned forward, pursed her lips and let out a sigh.
"Yes, good Miss Witch...... I mean...... Lena. ”
At this moment, the tips of Liana's hair hanging down her shoulders inadvertently moved, and in an instant, her long hair surged like a red sunset.
A small salamander that burned like a blazing fire deftly came out and lay motionless on Lianna's left shoulder, showing Ye Zhao its beautiful, bumpy back from time to time.
"Hehe, the little guy can't stand the loneliness just like people. Lena smiled and pulled her hair back, "I thought I made everything clear enough when you came yesterday, it seems that I was thinking too much." ”
Anyway, the recipe in the pot is almost reconciled.
Lena leaned forward and snapped her fingers casually.
The burnt wood fell silent at once, and the sparks were gone, except for a few wisps of gray smoke that had dissipated obediently along the fireplace exhaust duct.
That's what it is...... Is it magic?!Ye Zhao sighed secretly in his heart.
The scooped unknown solution was full of a large cowhide bag, and Lianna handed it to Ye Zhao, "Oh, what you want, the amount is full, and it is 100% authentic." ”
He took it, and it was heavy, and it was indeed weighty.
"500 Macondo. ”
Liana tied the wizard's robe that she had taken off due to the high temperature, stretched out her hand towards Ye Zhao, and said bluntly.
"Uh...... Well, this one. ”
Ye Zhao scratched his head, not knowing what to do, and just muttered after half a sound: "Can you take credit?" ”
......
By the time I left the Mystic Workshop, it was already dark.
The sky in the west was overcast, and there seemed to be something moving around on the sky, but Ye Zhao didn't really see this at all, he only felt that the sky here was wider than the original world.
Lena thought that Mr. Stella Avner, who had always been generous, did not have half of Macondo in his pocket?
The wizard's recipe that has already been concocted is non-returnable, not to mention that Lena also spent a lot of money to buy expensive dried lizards from old Mona.
Ye Zhao couldn't help but think of a way: he groped all over his pockets, and finally gave a domestic pirated Rolex watch to Liana.
I wanted to use it as collateral, but I didn't expect that when Lena saw the regular operation of the watch's hands, she excitedly called it a one-of-a-kind treasure.
"Oh my God, Mr. Stella, where did you get it? the black market of Bunau or Banff City? a model that Lena has never seen before...... Hey, why doesn't there be a magic crystal reaction?"
The witch asked a lot of questions, many of which were words and phrases that Ye Zhao couldn't understand for a while.
Ye Zhao said casually, "This, this is automatic." ”
"Automatic?" Lena looked at the machine in her hand in a daze, lost in thought.
"It's like a stirring spoon in a pot, there's some kind of power behind it that gives it power, but you use magic, and it relies on ......"
"No need to explain, Mr. Stella," Liana interrupted Ye Zhao's addition, "I know that the support behind everything in the world is magic without exception, even if it is a mechanical clan, tracing back to the source, it is still through the consumption of magic crystals. ”
She paused and continued: "Magic is divided into three categories: 'elemental magic', 'witch magic', and 'ritual magic' according to the different sources of magical power, and can be subdivided into six types: 'change system', 'enhancement system', 'manipulation system', 'impact system', 'materialization system', and 'special system' according to the different races of the user.
"This mechanism is obviously not known, and I can feel the unusual and endless energy that comes from within it, like the giant heart created by our ancestors in ancient times, the 'perpetual motion nucleus'. ”
"How much is it worth 500 Makong?" Ye Zhao said lightly.
Lianna didn't answer Ye Zhao's words directly, but carefully put it away, with a hint of imperceptible panic in her eyes.
It seems that it should be enough, Ye Zhao has some confidence in his heart, "Seriously, you can use it to time in the future, it is more accurate than an hourglass." ”
......
A few drops of rain fell on the tip of Ye Zhao's nose and slid down his cheeks to his chin, only to feel cold. Soon, the rain curtain was hung diagonally, and when I looked up at the sky, there seemed to be something unusual flying above the cascading rain clouds.
Maybe for a long time in the future, he will survive in this world with this new identity, Ye Zhao muttered to himself...... "Stella Avner." ”
Continuing along the straight cobblestone path, you will leave the dark, greasy neighborhood of the Mystic Crafts.
What catches your eye is a classical and magnificent church-like building.
