Volume 1: The Maiden and the White Dragon Chapter 3: Nothing is a witch
Cooking... How is it right for me, a noble witch? What do I think?
On the way to the kitchen with Dolma, Chrissy retreats in her heart.
The results were not surprising.
Rumble!
"Ahem, ahem!"
Chrissy, whose face was covered in smoke, coughed and jumped away from the red-hot iron pot.
"Miss, Dolma has warned you not to use fireball magic in the kitchen. ”
Dolma handed Chrissy a wet towel and a glass of water.
Chrissy, who drank water to remove the smoke that had choked into her throat and then wiped the dust off her face with a wet towel, said angrily:
"But, damn it, who let this broken pot not burn for a long time. ”
Zhuoma said flatly: "Miss, let me come, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
"White bread slices, hot egg soup, no salt in the soup. ”
Knowing the difficulty of cooking, Chrissy didn't continue to persevere, although she was very unhappy, but she also admitted that she was indeed not the material, and if she accidentally blew up the kitchen, it would be worth the loss.
"Yes, Miss. If you're okay for the time being, then Dolma will go back to work later. ”
Dolma nodded, taking the glass of water and the towel that Chrissy handed her.
"Dolma, do you have any work you haven't done?"
In fact, the proposal to cook is not a whim for Chrissy, she really wants to share something for Dolma, who has been busy.
Dolma replied respectfully, "At present, the main thing is to clean the study and take care of the garden. ”
"Then I'll leave the cleaning of the study, and I don't believe I can't do any housework. ”
Chrissy was now holding back her energy, and the results of the morning test had caused her a deep sense of frustration, and if she didn't do all the chores she had not looked down on before, she felt like the black ash on the towel.
"Yes, Miss, Dolma will take you to the maid's room to get your tools and clothes first. ”
Dolma has never refused any of Chrissy's orders, and she has always faithfully complied with Chrissy's wishes.
Only in the rare circumstances will she advise Chrissy on her actions, but in the end she will still respect Chrissy's choice.
Now she wants to do more safe things to make herself grow, and in Dolma's opinion, there is nothing suspicious.
After all, although Chrissy has not been accompanied by her parents since she was a child, she has inherited a rich family inheritance, coupled with the dedication of Dolma by her side, in fact, she has not suffered any real hardships, and she has not touched much housework, and it is beneficial and harmless to learn now.
After some time, Dolma took Chrissy to the maid's room. Dolma then went to the utility room where the tools were stacked to prepare the tools, while Chrissy herself went to the dark and cramped dressing room to turn on the kerosene lamp and dress herself into a black and white maid's outfit.
Although the clothes were quickly changed, Chrissy stayed in the dressing room and thought about something in the mirror.
"Miss, the tools are ready. ”
"Okay, I'll come out now. ”
Dolma's voice came from outside, and Chrissy interrupted her thoughts, turned off the light, and walked to the door.
Then she asked Dolma, "Dolma, do you remember Norma?"
Dolma tilted his head and asked, "Miss, are there any parts left behind in the dressing room?"
"Nope..."
Chrissy shook her head and continued:
"It's just that I'm wondering what if I create another batch of magic golems?"
In the past, Ranyer Castle attached to the manor was not the only magic golem working with Dolma, but hundreds of different types of magic golems made by witches throughout the ages.
Dolma's status was actually equivalent to the head maid and housekeeper in the past, and she didn't need to do everything herself like she does now.
But as time passed, the life of the golem component expired, and the Lanyer family fell, the magic golem in the castle was left with Dolma still operating.
Regarding Chrissy's thoughts, Dolma reminded: "Miss, ordinary magic golems are just consumables that will naturally disintegrate after a short period of time. If you want to make a magic golem that can run for a long time like Dolma, it is still very difficult at this stage, and the equipment that is missing for the time being is at least 100,000 gold guilders, and if you count the cost of materials......"
"Well, with this money, you can buy a hundred high-class slaves, right?"
"Miss, the slave trade is illegal in the Duchy of Valranried. ”
"Well, I know. ”
Chrissy sighed, there were so many things she needed to ago.
Whether it's reviving the family, saving Dolma, or participating in the witches' convention years later, it's all the problems she has to face.
But she had no clue.
"I'm cleaning the study, do you have any work points?"
Chrissy decided to change her mind and start with what she was currently capable of doing.
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge. The spirit of the ancestors of the Lanyeer family is above, and there will always be a solution to the problem.
"Please clean the dust off the bookshelves with a feather duster, then carefully wipe down the cabinets and tables with a rag and then ...... with a mop."
Dolma carefully introduced the specific work process, and Chrissy took all the tools such as buckets, feather dusters, rags, and mops in her mind, and walked towards the study leisurely.
Although Dolma wanted to help, Chrissy shook her head and refused, she didn't think she couldn't do this little thing.
As she persevered until she climbed the stairs, Chrissy suddenly regretted it, and the climbing stairs had a feeling of no end.
If... If only I could summon magic, how nice it would be to summon a powerful and obedient demon!
Chrissy continued to climb to the fourth floor of the study while delusional, and before she reached the place, the girl, who usually lacked exercise, felt that her legs and feet were sore, and immediately put the heavy bucket and tools beside her, and then sat down on the steps and began to gasp.
Chrissy didn't want to use magic to solve such a trivial matter, but now it seemed that she was asking for her own trouble.
In fact, the original purpose of magic was to facilitate human life, so the most basic spells are life assistance, of course, with the continuous progress of magic, there are four main branches of destruction, summoning, healing, and spirit.
Chrissy is a witch, of course it will be witchcraft, witchcraft and spells belong to the category of magic, so witches are also magicians, but they are still special beings in the already special group of magicians.
The difference between witchcraft and conventional spells is that witchcraft can only develop towards a single genre, with obvious tendencies.
And this tendency is something that witches cannot choose, and according to the witch blood they inherit, their genre is directly determined.
There are two types of witchcraft, one is gifted witchcraft and the other is homemade witchcraft.
Talent witchcraft is based on the cultivation of witches, and one is awakened at a time, while self-created witchcraft is a witchcraft developed by witches on the basis of their own talent witchcraft. Witchcraft is more powerful than ordinary spells, especially all kinds of strange curses, which are often developed by witches.
Witchcraft often does not consume the witch's own mana, but it is limited in number of times and can be restored over time.
However, witches can still cast ordinary spells, and the casting effect is often stronger than that of ordinary magicians of the same level, but if their own magic cultivation has not progressed, their spells cannot be improved.
And Chrissy inherited the witch blood of the Lanyeer family, and now her level is equivalent to a third-order mage, so in addition to knowing a lot of third-order spells, she can also have three kinds of talent witchcraft.
"Lightfoot"
Chrissy patted both of her calves, and her limp legs were immediately filled with magical magic, and they jumped bounced briskly on the steps like springs.
Chrissy wanted to do her job without relying on any magic, but now it seemed that she had to use her powers as a witch.
Chrissy, who had once again picked up her tools, ran down the corridor as light as a swallow, more than twice as fast as before.
Lightfoot is Chrissy's innate talent for witchcraft, which is the most basic form of witchcraft that is of little use other than being able to run faster.
It can be used up to five times a day, and the effects can last up to five minutes, and as her magic level grows, the effects of the gifted sorcery increase.
"Ahem, ahem, haven't it been cleaned in almost a month, has it?"
Chrissy opened the door to the study with the key, and when she pushed it open, she was greeted by the old wind and dust.
It is very difficult for Dolma to maintain the entire castle alone, so she does not clean all areas of the castle every day, and some remote and infrequently used rooms often take a long time to be taken care of.
This may also be a frustration when the house is too big.
"Anyway, ventilate first. ”
Chrissy opened the two windows of the room with the mask on, and then thought to herself that since she had already solved the problem with magic, she didn't mind using it again, so she silently recited the wind blast in her mind, and the air in the study began to flow faster.
Brush, brush......
However, the wind gradually turned into a violent wind, and it was not only dust that was carried away, but also books and papers that were old in the past.
"Huh, stop!!"
Looking at the messy study, Chrissy wanted to cry.
The strategy of using magic to be lazy has completely failed, and the books and pages scattered all over the floor have clearly increased the workload.
Now Chrissy didn't dare to use magic anymore, and she began to honestly sort out the books on the ground.
Suddenly, an unfolded coloring book catches Chrissy's attention.
"It's... Elder Dragon?"
Chrissy stared at the huge creature roaring into the sky on the paper, and involuntarily held the illustrated book in her arms, and looked at the introduction inside.
The Elder Dragons, the overlords of the world thousands of years ago.
Steeped in armor that can only be damaged by the weapons of the gods, its massive size can block rivers, its strong, massive wings allow it to soar freely in the air, and in addition to possessing the hardest and sharpest claws and teeth of any beast, the Elder Dragons wield terrifying dragon magic.
Killing an Elder Dragon would require the best legions led by the Legendary Hero, and Elder Dragons are often able to resurrect after a few years, making it difficult to actually die.
Due to the strength of the Elder Dragons, there is also a religion among humans that worships dragons - Dragon Worship.
It is said that humans who know dragon language and magic serve as priests in this order, and regularly pay tribute to the ancient dragons as sacrifices, and the ancient dragons will also give them dragon bones and shards, allowing them to make powerful dragon bone weapons and armor, train dragon warriors, and if necessary, the ancient dragons will directly join the war, so as to assist the dragon worship cult to rule the human territory.
But one day, the ancient dragon clan suddenly disappeared, and the dragon worship cult that had been borrowing the power of the dragon clan to dominate the world also weakened, and only some hidden and barbaric areas still had dragon worship believers.
"Ahh If only I had an ancient dragon on my head to be a demon. ”
Chrissy daydreamed after reading the illustrated book.
"If you can tame an ordinary dragon, or a magical beast with dragon blood, it would be great to have a powerful and intelligent magical beast as a pet!"
That's right, witches are such beings. Far from instilling awe in them, the creatures of the cow are said to be in awe, but are thinking of ways to turn them into their own power.
These women, who possess the blood of witches, seem to have been born with a desire for power.
Of course, Chrissy also knew that she was thinking about peaches to eat, and the monsters were not so easy to mess with.
Since Warcraft are basically brutal and bloodthirsty, and full of wildness, ordinary people simply do not have the means to tame them.
Although Chrissy can indeed make low-level magical beasts with weak mental power and magic power subordinate to her through a contract, the spiritual power of adult high-level magical beasts is often stronger than that of many old magicians, and the magic power is also very strong, and it is extremely difficult to defeat them alone, let alone enslave them after being captured alive.
And the dragon bloodline is a rare noble bloodline in the Warcraft, and the people who hold the bloodline are basically the top of the high-level Warcraft, and some can even speak out of their mouths, affecting the weather and terrain changes, and they are the absolute hegemon of a region.
Of course, the young beast will not be so powerful, and if it is carefully cultivated, the grown young beast is indeed very likely to become a helper of humans.
However, five hundred years ago, the "Kloshan Agreement" concluded between the kings of mankind and the overlords of the Warcraft clearly mentioned that humans could not disturb the normal life and habitat of the high-level Warcraft, let alone abduct and sell the young or unhatched eggs of the High-level Warcraft, and even the magic cores of the High-level Warcraft could not be sold at will, otherwise the Warcraft would launch a retaliatory beast tide, allowing thousands of Warcraft to raze the human towns to the ground.
"Well, let's get these books in order first......"
So it's useless to think about these things at the moment.
Chrissy sighed again, and she didn't know how many times she had sighed.
Now her magic has almost stagnated, and Chrissy can't figure out the specific reason, she has tried to use drugs to help, and she has also tried to use magic circles to gather demons, but to no avail. Almost all the magic that enters the body is lost to its original level like an hourglass.
So Chrissy decided not to worry about these problems for the time being, and first cleaned up the messy study before thinking about it.
When she put the old books on the shelves, there was a book that had been standing upright in the middle of the shelf, which was extremely abrupt.
The wind just now didn't knock it down?
Could it be...... Organ?
"Uh......"
Wouldn't it? wouldn't it? wouldn't it be a rotten routine like a castle vault?
Chrissy's careful hand reached for the book, touched it slightly, and then the book fell down unremarkably.
Yes, nothing happened.
The wall behind the bookshelf didn't crack, and there was no teleportation magic, just an ordinary book, which didn't fall down simply because of some coincidence.
"If you are damned, you will know ......"
Chrissy took the book in her hand and looked at it, and found that the name of the book was "The Legend of the Dragon Witch", which tells the story of the first witch of the Lanyere family, Elena, who was also called the Dragon Witch because she domesticated a dragon.
The previous Lanyer family was the head of the witch family, except for Elena, until the fifth generation of the Lanyer family was the most powerful witch family.
However, the Lanyeer family inexplicably got worse and worse, and there were no strong people like the dragon witch Elena and the war bear witch Katie in the family, and then because the Lanyeer family generally had no business talent, they often couldn't make ends meet.
After six generations, the Lanyeer family began to eat their old books and sell their fiefs, and by the time Chrissy's generation of fiefs was basically sold out.
And after both parents disappeared, Chrissy was the only one left in the direct bloodline of the whole clan, so she was the only member and patriarch of the Lanyeer family......
