Chapter 4: The Glowing Spiritual Attendant
This night, Wang Li had a very pleasant dream...... In the past, this would have been a nightmare.
Huge eyeballs filled the world, and black tentacles extended from the eyeballs, as if to drag him into the abyss......
But at this moment, a heroic female warrior appeared, although she looked like a plump 'stickman', but her long black hair was extraordinarily flowing, and she fought fiercely against the terrifying 'eye demon' to protect her master's dreams......
Anyway, Wang Li slept really well this night.
Rarely, without a headache, he woke up in a state of rage.
Then he smiled and saw that on his bedside table, the eyeballs full of black silk threads were entangled with his little spirit attendant...... Both little things were already out of breath and looked like they had fought all night.
Wang Li stretched out his hand to flick the eyeball away, and then lifted up the little guy who was panting and listless...... Last night, she had just become her own spiritual attendant.
"Are you tired?"
As he spoke, he reached out a finger and tapped it lightly on her little head......
The next moment, her entire body slowly lit up with a glimmer of white light.
She was absorbing Wang Li's spiritual power.
It was precisely because she would emit such a glimmer of light when absorbing spiritual power, so Wang Li simply named her 'Hotaru'.
"Hiccup~"
Xiao Budian Hotaru burped, and immediately climbed onto Wang Li's shoulder full of vitality.
What she felt from the spiritual power just now was complete love, so she was naturally close to her master.
Wang Li looked at his room, cleaned up the mess, and re-rolled the parchment paper and put it away...... Maybe next time it will be his turn to pass it on to his apprentice.
As for the contents of the parchment, although he read it carefully, he did not pay much attention to it.
Except for a simple ritual using a six-pointed star, there is only one sentence at most: Don't feed your spiritual servant, or one day it will eat you!
For this reminder, Wang Li just smiled and didn't pay too much attention to it......
The feeding of the spirit attendant is to be matched with a certain proportion of blood and spiritual power.
Among them, blood is the basic need of the spiritual service, and spiritual power is the key to achieving ascension.
In terms of blood, ordinary spirit servants only need one drop to be able to sustain themselves for a day...... It can be proposed on parchment that the proportion of blood supply can be increased to reduce the loss of mental energy.
Because in the parchment explanation, the spirit attendant's endless demand for spiritual power from the master is an important factor in the final backlash of the spirit attendant.
Wang Li didn't operate according to what was said above, after all, his mental power was naturally different.
It's just that this part of the mental power is very scattered, and it is all scattered, which makes his attention not very concentrated.
This was considered an imbecile when he was a child, and even his mother Jiang Yu was kicked out of the mansion early.
Jiang Hui is a strong woman, and she has worked hard to bring Wang Li to the ...... And as Wang Li grows older, she slowly becomes 'normal', which is also the motivation for her to persevere.
Of course, in fact, Wang Li has just been learning to make himself normal......
His anomalous mental power was indeed very scattered, but as time went on, it became strong enough that it even began to affect his physical health.
He can only try to keep his emotions as stable as possible, otherwise the fluctuating emotions will stimulate his mental energy to be active, which will cause terrible headache symptoms.
Even Jiang Hui didn't know that he had endured headaches for twelve years.
Since he was seven years old, he has been suffering from this kind of pain, but he just doesn't want his mother, who is already working hard, to worry about him needlessly.
Before that, he didn't even think he would live to be twenty years old......
Now, there is a turning point.
The button of the six-pointed star suddenly lit up with a pure white light...... This six-pointed star, as well as the startled Hotaru, were his lifesavers.
He looked at the time, it was half past five in the morning.
Maybe it was the excitement of entering the world of demon hunters, or the relief brought by the release of mental stress, anyway, he didn't have the idea of sleeping again.
He cleaned up and walked out of his small room......
As a result, he saw his mother Jiang Rui lying on the table, asleep with the dim lamp.
He walked quietly over......
She seems to be writing something.
Judging from the pressed note, it seems to be a plan for an outing......
[Is she going to play anywhere?] 】
Wang pondered.
"Ah Li, why did you get up so early?"
Jiang Hui woke up, the sky was getting brighter, she should have woken up.
She seemed a little frightened, and immediately put the note away......
Wang was a little concerned, but he didn't ask much after all...... In fact, he knew that it should be made for the main family with the surname 'Ye'.
He was a little worried that his mother was not just a housekeeper in that house......
Forget it, I don't want to think so much, she is his mother after all, and this will not change.
"Because I have a job, I can't sleep."
He told a white lie, and he knew what Jiang Hui liked to hear.
Jiang Hui really showed a happy look, and said while going to wash: "When my mother worked for the first time, she was so nervous that she almost lost sleep. ”
"Work hard, but don't put too much pressure on yourself."
She brushes her teeth while cheering up her son.
Wang Li nodded seriously, only to find that the firefly on his shoulder was also nodding.
He's squealing.
It's a pity that Jiang Wei can't see Hotaru, otherwise she would be very happy, right?
Then came the rare time between mother and son.
Wang Li unexpectedly found that he got up early and was able to communicate with Jiang Yu for such a long time, and he was very happy in his heart.
In the past, he couldn't get up so early, and often when he got up, Jiang Hui had already packed up the house and made breakfast and went out.
I couldn't help but ask, 'work-related'.
"Mom, can you tell us some experience in cleaning up the mold and ashes that have accumulated over the years?"
Somehow he asked...... I guess I think of the dilapidated appearance of the 'Old Horse Grocery Store'.
To be honest, he really can't stand Lao Ma's place.
Jiang Wei asked curiously, "Is there only mold ash?" Are there any dirt such as oil stains or grease? ”
This is her area of expertise, and her eyes seem to be faintly shining......
Wang Li was a little shocked, and he remembered some of the food scraps and signs of various 'small animals' that he had seen everywhere in Lao Ma.
"Well, there may be some cockroaches, rats and ...... like that"
Jiang Hui was surprised when she heard it: "Then you really took on a tricky job." ”
She no longer doubted the nature of Wang Li's work...... Sometimes when I think about it, it seems interesting to have such a 'son inheriting the mother's business'.
At this time, her son asked for advice, and of course she did not hesitate to share her experience.
Wang Li didn't expect that there were so many doorways in housekeeping work, and he listened very carefully...... He is serious about the ingestion of any knowledge.
And where Jiang Hui couldn't see, on Wang Li's shoulder, Xiao Budian Firefly also nodded solemnly...... For her, it was her 'first lesson'!
The mother and son chatted for almost two hours, and Jiang Yu glanced at the time before quickly getting up and said, "It's almost late...... Mommy is going to work, you're at home by yourself......"
Wang Li also got up and said, "I'm going to work too." ”
Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then showed a proud smile and said, "Yes, Ah Li is also going to work...... Mom is so happy. ”
It's a pure joy of seeing my son grow up.
So the mother and son hugged each other at the door, and walked out of the cramped apartment with only one room.
Wang Li looked at his mother's back in the distance......
Suddenly, she glanced back as well, then turned her head and waved happily at him, as if to convey the good mood of the day.
Wang Li also smiled slightly, and then waved his hand.
Then, with a rather light step, he walked towards the old horse grocery store.
Since he told his mother that he was going to work, he always felt that he should do something...... Besides, as a freshly baked witcher apprentice, he couldn't stand the loneliness.
……
"Bang bang bang!"
He knocked on the door of the 'Old Horse Grocery Store' and did not respond for a long time.
Thinking of the back of the old horse who disappeared in the bright lights last night, he was a little suspicious that his teacher had come back?
He knocked again, and was about to give up.
As a result, the voice of the old horse came from the side: "Who is it, this early in the morning, is it noisy!" ”
"Huh?"
The sound didn't come from the house.
He looked into the small alley next to the shop where the trash cans were placed...... Good fellow, the old horse is sleeping here!
Looking at the old horse covered in vomit, mixed with the smell of the trash can...... Not to mention how bad it smells.
Wang Li felt that his sense of smell had been greatly challenged, but when he thought that this was his teacher, he still frowned and helped him up.
"I'll see if there's anything I need help with."
He said with his head down.
At this time, he found that it was too good to talk with his head down, he didn't have to endure the other party's rushing tone, and he could also release the disgust in his eyes to his heart's content.
After fumbling for a while, and finally finding the key to open the door, Wang Li helped the old horse into the room...... This old thing is too drunk to know what to do.
That's a nasty guy.
Wang Li felt that he was a newcomer now, and he should have more respect for his teacher.
So he took the old horse into his bedroom with great difficulty, and changed his clothes by the way.
Hotaru saw that the owner was so tired and wanted to help.
But her little arms and legs really couldn't do anything, and she was a little inferior at that time.
Wang Li sighed with emotion: "Amazing demon hunter, if only there was any skill that could clean him up at once." ”
He was just thinking about it, after all, the skills of witchers are developed to defeat evil spirits.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that with his words, Ying's body suddenly lit up!
Wang Li was stunned, this is ......
He wasn't sure.
But this, maybe Hotaru is going to evolve?
It's too fast, he hasn't prepared anything!
