Chapter VI Debt Collection Agencies
Oh...... The whole setting seems good......
Hearing what the other party said unconsciously, Summer Night's mind suddenly broadened.
"The primordial witch who doesn't belong to this era", "The king of debt who rules the basement" or something, as long as you take advantage of the situation, the other party may really believe that you are a demon god who has recovered from ancient times.
In that case, you don't have to pay rent or something, right?
But this is not in line with the personality set for yourself at the beginning.
"Ancient Times", "Revival Demon God" or something, when you hear it, there are tens of thousands of years old monsters, even if you look young and beautiful, it will only make others say in your hearts, "That's just the leather case of the old monster, don't be confused by her!" Something like that.
And Miss Ben, summer night, is a woman who wants to be a super invincible and beautiful witch!
Definitely not an old monster.
For the sake of his great goal, Xia Ye had to give up the perfect opportunity to fool the other party.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" She folded her hands in front of her chest and put on a very dissatisfied attitude, "Miss Ben is only 18 years old!" β
It's true.
Regardless of the age of the original host, Summer Night had only passed its 18th birthday a few days before the crossing, and if you round it up, it would be a real 18-year-old.
In the face of her fierce reaction, the blonde girl just nodded indifferently: "Oh, too, if you are such a terrible thing, how can you possibly pay me rent." β
"...... "So I paid the rent and paid the wrong one, right?," Summer Night complained in her heart.
"Also...... You are only 18 years old, so you dare to call me sister. The other party continued: "I'm already 20 years old, come, call the landlord sister." β
20 years old?
Summer Night looked at the other party again in shock.
I think you're 14 at most, right? It is the age between punishment and non-punishment.
However, strictly speaking, the witch is another creature after all, and it is possible that she developed relatively late...... Summer Night will decide to take a closer look at this later, and for now, pay the rent first.
"Anyway, I don't have what you said...... Crystal ball, the magic is there, how can I pay you? She asked.
According to the "First Law", mana can be transferred from one witch to another without loss, and it is an absolute necessity for witches, which in effect, means that it has both free circulation and general equivalents, so it is very normal for this world to use magic as currency.
But intuitively, Xia Ye still felt that this method was a bit problematic, but she couldn't say exactly what was the problem.
"So what else can I do? That can only be done in the most primitive way. The blonde girl reluctantly stretched out her palm, "Bring the magic directly in." β
ββ¦β¦β
The other party said that this method Summer Night knows, because it is one of the basic knowledge of witches, and it is also the specific form in which the "first law" can be realized, in short, witches can transport magic into the other party's body through physical contact.
But it is clear that this method is both inconvenient and seems a bit ...... Weird.
"Hey, put your hands on it." Seeing that Xia Ye didn't move for a long time, the other party urged, "If you are so reluctant, hurry up and buy a crystal ball, I don't want to touch the body of a strange guy like you." β
Xia Ye didn't say anything more, stretched out his hand, and gently put his palm on it, the delicate and warm touch came from his fingertips, and Xia Ye felt as if he was holding a piece of precious jade.
She concentrated, channeling 120 moles of magic from her body and infusing it into the other's body.
The pure white light gradually lit up between the palms of the two hands, and thenβ
Suddenly extinguished.
"Huh?"
Summer Night frowned, she could feel that she had successfully overdrawn her mana, but it seemed that it could not be channeled into the other party's body.
So the so-called "overdraft" can only be used by oneself and cannot be delivered to others?
Since the terms of the contract regarding the overdraft are still covered in a black square, the summer night can only be guessed.
"I'm sorry, I can't deliver mana directly to you." She said to the girl, "If you have anything to buy, I can pay it for you, and it will be considered as my rent." β
But the other party just silently withdrew his palm and took two steps back. The way she looked at Xia Ye's eyes, she suddenly became extremely indifferent.
Although the girl's attitude was not very friendly before, the two sides were at least able to communicate normally, and now, it was as if she was looking at a dead man.
"No need to make excuses, speaking of which, I should have thought that I had wasted so much time with you here, hum......"
As she spoke, she picked up the crystal plate and tapped it a few times.
"What should have been thought of a long time ago?" Summer Night asked inexplicably.
"You're bankrupt." The girl said coldly, not in an interrogative sentence, but in a statement of a definite fact.
"Bankrupt? What is the meaning? β
"Every bankrupt person is like you, pretending to be crazy and stupid, escaping from reality."
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Summer Night felt that the girl should have misunderstood something, but before she could think of how to explain, she heard the other party say:
"Anyway, you don't have to say anything, I've already notified the debt collection agency, and they'll be there soon, no matter how much you owe someone else, anyway, before you die completely, I must get my share back!"
As if to confirm the girl's words, she had just finished speaking, and the summer night heard a whistling sound, the sound was far away at first, but in just a dozen seconds, it was already approaching. She followed the source of the voice and looked in surprise at the corridor behind the girl, and almost at the same time, around the corner at the end of the corridor, three figures rushed out at great speed.
It was three witches on broomsticks, and although the corridor was dark and narrow, it didn't stop them from flying at high speed, and they drifted and slid through right-angled corners, rushing towards the direction of the summer night without slowing down.
Seeing that they were about to bump into the blonde girl, the three of them suddenly jumped upward, and with a "click" sound, the "broom" with a silver luster deformed and folded in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye, it shrank into a short staff that was no more than a foot long, and was copied by the rider in his hand.
Click-
The three of them landed almost at the same time, and the hard-soled leather boots stepped on the ground with a uniform crisp sound. Unlike the costumes of summer nights or blonde maidens, the trio's outfits were clearly designed to facilitate movement.
Long leather boots covered the knees, the bottom was cargo shorts with many pockets, and the upper body wore a simple and close-fitting black shirt, on top of which was a cloak of only half length, except for the witch hat on the top of the head, almost everything was very different from the witch in the impression of summer night.
The black-haired witch who walked in front of the three, according to the concept of human age, she looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, tall, with a beautiful appearance, but her expression was cold, and the other two looked about the same age as her.
"Either the companies of this world like to hire minors, or all the witches look younger than their actual age." Xia Ye looked at the three people in front of her and Lilian, and couldn't help but complain secretly in her heart.
At this time, the black-haired witch had already come to the landlord of Summer Night, and said businesslikely: "Hello, Miss Lilian, lightning debt collection is at your service, I am a director-level debt collector with work number FL003. β
It was only then that Summer Night finally learned that the blonde girl's name was "Lilian".
