Chapter 847: The Little Witch's Adventure (I)
There is a witch living in the Black Forest.
This is a legend that has been passed down in the village outside the forest.
She can turn people into toads, take children captive and eat their hearts and livers, and summon demons to grab all the mortals who dare to offend her, break their limbs, peel their skin and cramp, and make people want to live and die......
In fact, there is a small wooden house in the depths of the Black Forest, and it is indeed inhabited by a family of witches who have lived in it for generations.
It's just that they're a little different from the legend.
At this moment, the legendary 'witch' was struggling to carry an iron bucket and staggered towards the house, and the bucket was filled with clean water from the well outside the house.
Although she had indeed become a witch, Curran was only twelve years old, she was short, she wore a pointed wizard's hat that was wide enough to cover most of her face, and because of her contract with a special envoy, her hair had changed from the previous maroon to a wonderful pink, and she was tied into a supple double ponytail with two glass orbs with six-pointed stars.
Unlike orthodox magicians, witches derive their powers either from black sorcery or from demons who have made contracts with them (although there are occasional witches who make contracts with other strange things).
It is precisely because of this that every witch will bear her own 'price' from the moment she dissolves this mysterious power.
Since the object of the contract is often not a good demon, the price is often the blood of the virgin, and the living sacrifice of many people. Or even how many people were slaughtered and so on.
It is also because of this 'price' that many witches will appear in front of the world with evil faces, and in the end, even the entire witch system will be treated as street rats, and necromancers have almost become the target of everyone's shouting.
The witch faction that Kuran belongs to is called "Xiangzilan", which is a potion-based part-time cultivation faction, because it is a relatively weak type among witches, so the relative price to pay is not large, except for the need to drink a bottle of potion with the main ingredient Xiangzilan every month, only when this inheritance is passed on, I will die like that...... Therefore, the witches of the "Xiangzilan" faction will wait until they are old. I started looking for my inheritor.
For example, when Kuran's teacher finds Kuran, who is an orphan. He was over one hundred and twenty years old, and after teaching his studies to Curlan two years ago, he passed away peacefully in front of the fireplace.
Kuran, on the other hand, spent two years alone in the Black Forest, only occasionally going out to buy groceries, which the people of the village would not have thought of anyway. The legendary witch of the Black Forest is such a little girl.
As Curran struggled to push the door open. A puff of black smoke came out of the house. At the same time, the smell of burning was accompanied by smoke in the room.
"Wow! My potion! ”
The little girl hurriedly put the bucket in her hand on the ground and hurried to her pharmacy.
Unlike the ultra-modern alchemy workshops of the Adric Academy, Curran's apothecary has a traditional witch-like layout. That is, there are many shelves around it, on which are placed the materials for refining medicine, and in the middle of the house is a fire pit dug with a large black crucible in the fire pit, which is used to boil potions.
It's just that now the potion in the crucible has turned into a black, viscous and strange substance like sesame paste. And this strange substance is still bubbles coming out from time to time, and each bubble swells up, and when it bursts, it will rise a puff of black smoke with a strong scorching smell.
There is no doubt that this pot of medicine has been scrapped.
"Woo, sure enough, the potion 'patchouli' is not so simple to boil, and there are not many materials left...... And it's so troublesome to wash the pot......"
The little girl looked at the pot of potions that had been completely discarded with some tears, and then turned her head to look at the black cat lying on the stove with an innocent face.
"Nana, didn't I ask you to watch it for you! Why don't you tell me if something like this happens? The girl said angrily.
The black cat ignored the girl's blame and yawned indifferently.
Nana the Black Cat is a demon of Teacher Kuran, and until Kuran grows into a qualified witch, she will fulfill the contract she signed with her teacher to take care of and protect Kuran.
Of course, things like making potions are not part of the contract, and it's too hard for a cat......
Naturally, Curran didn't have the strength to lift an iron cauldron that was even taller than her own, so she had to climb into a chair and carefully tie the cauldron to her witch's broom with a rope, and try to use the power of the broom to send the cauldron to the other side of the creek so that it could be cleaned.
"Ahhh~ If only I had an alchemy cauldron, the witches of the "Obsidian" system got a set from Hohenhagrid at the last witch gathering...... I'm really envious......"
Ignoring the black cat's resistance and holding it in his arms, Kuran whined loudly as he commanded the broom to lift the crucible while ravaging the black cat's fur and balls of flesh.
No one else will come in the Black Forest anyway, and no one else will hear it.
I'm not lonely......
Curran repeated the words in his mind that he had repeated countless times.
Suddenly, the black cat in her hand stopped struggling, its golden pupils narrowed into thin slits, and it looked vigilantly at the sky.
"Nana, what's wrong?"
The little girl who noticed the change in the black cat also subconsciously looked up.
I saw that a dark purple cloud about the size of a basketball court suddenly appeared above her head, and from time to time there was an arm-thick electric light flowing in it, which made people feel like their scalps were numb just by looking at it. Immediately, the rumbling thunder came from overhead, and the word deafening seemed to be tailored to describe the current scene.
Even if you look at it, it gives people a terrifying spirit full of a sense of ruin.
In fact, there was a kind of devastation in it, and not only Kuran but also Nana the black cat were a little frightened.
The girl was stunned, and she couldn't even think of 'running away', while Nana the black cat had her hair standing on end because of the feeling of danger......
The next moment, the girl felt as if the world was shattered, countless cracks appeared in the space above her head, and the sound like glass breaking sounded directly in her head, and the strange thunder and lightning finally broke through the limit of the purple clouds, and fell down, splitting many centuries-old trees in the Black Forest to pieces! Immediately, it ignited a raging forest fire.
You must know that the bark of those trees that have grown for a hundred years has long become extremely tough, and ordinary weapons cannot hurt them at all, and for flames, they have evolved natural protection capabilities, which are almost impossible to ignite.
But at this moment, under the terrifying power of this cyan thunder, these hundred-year-old creatures are no different from an ant, and they can be completely crushed easily!
The little girl trembled involuntarily, a situation that was not at all understandable to hers, a little witch.
It's just that this anomaly didn't last long, as a black shadow fell from the sky, all the visions in the sky disappeared, if it weren't for the raging fire still burning, proving that the situation just now was not illusory, I'm afraid the girl would have thought that it was just a nightmare for herself
As for the black shadow that fell from the sky, it smashed directly into the crucible beside the girl...... I have to say that the crucible of "Xiangzilan" that has been passed down from generation to generation is also extremely strong, and it actually suffered such a shock, but it is still as strong as ever, and there is no sign of rupture at all...... Of course, because the sticky black sesame paste inside acts as a buffer.
The girl looked at the cauldron cautiously, for fear that some monster would pop out of it.
A moment later, a hand came out of the cauldron and grabbed the edge of the cauldron, and then a man crawled out of it under the girl's nervous gaze.
Sivi coughed up the black substance in his mouth, which tasted probably more disgusting than sludge, gasped heavily, and then retched.
"Ahem, I'll it, what the hell is this, suffocate me......" (To be continued......)
