Butcher Bird Hotel 21st Floor Palace Suite Zone, Room 2117.

The space and decoration of the room not only pulls the occupant satisfaction to the maximum, but even exceeds the threshold. It is literally built after the ancient Babylonian royal court, with an ornate bed and curtains, a marble bath, and two statues of ancient Babylonian witches who pour water next to it.

Behind the pale gold curtains is a wide viewing balcony, which overlooks not only the entire Butcher's Bird Island, but also the Atlantic Ocean.

The swing-shaped rocking chair is perfect for naps and viewing, and if you want to do something particularly interesting with other witches, it's perfectly fine, and it can withstand a lot of tossing.

There is also a miniature version of the throne on the first floor against the wall, and a row of gently undulating stone stairs are designed below, creating a sense of hierarchy from bottom to top, and the throne is placed on the top platform, and if the witch who lives in is interested, she can also call a few waiter witches to play the role of maids, calling herself "Your Majesty", and passing the addiction of being a king.

Everything in the palace suites was according to the specifications of the ancient kings, and the requirements of this secondary two were easily accommodated.

The floor of the room also has a partially transparent floor, and below it is a flowing sea with coral reefs and aquatic plants, some aquatic life. Turn off the lights, and the coral reefs in the sea will emit a faint fluorescence, providing a light source for the dimly lit room, like a dream.

Rydge waited for a while on the comfortable bed, not waiting for the witch who came to serve, but waiting for Miss Eudora's message first.

[Have a good night's rest.] I replayed your simulation training today, and it only took me a few hours to master the techniques of the first chapter of Deep Dive Magic, and I proved that I was right by completing high-intensity dives without relying on potions. The mission starts in the evening, so you still have plenty of time, so enjoy yourself. Everything is on my account, and if you want cash, go to Miss Sharon, the front desk manager tonight, and she'll take care of everything for you. 】

While reading the message, the employer, Miss Eudora, is enjoying a feast of high-spec meat from a dozen witches of the Canary Islands. None of the archipelago witches are vegetarians, and their meals are mainly seafood.

The witch served the island-style seafood soup with both hands, and invited her to taste it in turn, and some fresh hand-ground tofu was added to the soup, which was a perfect combination of meat and vegetables.

It's a bit boring to stay in the room for a long time, and it's a waste of time to go on a mission when I first come back to the islands near the Atlantic Ocean.

Seeing the magnificence in the training room made her fascinated by the stone buildings in the Bermuda Sea, although they were all simulations, and the simulated things were not fabricated out of thin air, they were 1:1 replicas based on reality, which meant that there were real things under the Atlantic.

The news reports also mentioned many times the large complex under Bermuda, and there were many witches who had just discovered a period of time to explore, and the whole sea area was full of shadows of ships, and airships and witches riding broomsticks hovered for a long time.

After a long time, the witches didn't find anything interesting, and the places they should have explored have also been to a round, the witches brought waterproof camera equipment to take pictures near the underwater ruins, and some unscrupulous witches left "xxx to visit here" on the columns of the ancient ruins, in order to show off that their footprints have come to the most dangerous sea below the Atlantic.

It is precisely because of the harsh environment of the sea that there is value to show off.

Japan also sent a witch expedition to Bermuda to investigate the underwater ruins in person, but the harvest was very small, and the American witch closest to the Bermuda sea was the first to discover.

Miss Eudora's purpose is not to investigate, nor for anything else, but to find someone to dive and sightseeing with, to go deep under the sea to see the underwater ruins. Today, the archaeological community believes that the lost city-state of Atlantis is just below the Bermuda Triangle, and that the ruins are part of Atlantis.

The two unsolved mysteries are stacked together, which is enough to make the heart of the witch who is eager to learn flutter.

After becoming a witch, Richie finds that her curiosity, which has been dormant for more than a decade, has returned. I haven't been so active in reading and studying before, and I'm not interested in the knowledge in books, and it's another thing to replace boring textbook knowledge with magic books and adventures, she has more interest and time.

"Get out for a walk."

What's the point of fighting in a room with a witch? The real witch should go on an adventure to the beach.

Without doing anything, Ruiji took his mobile phone, a backpack with miscellaneous items, rode a broomstick, and flew out directly from the balcony. There is no ban on broomstick flying, only a floating warning sign outside that reminds you to "fly slowly, be careful of collisions".

There are not a few witches like her who take off from the balcony on a broomstick, and at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night is the time when witches are active, and hundreds of witches of all kinds can be seen flying around on broomsticks with their own style, just like the scene of a Quidditch match.

Ruiji flew over hundreds of meters tall giant trees, bypassed the hanging gardens built on the sky island, and ran to the dimly lit seashore. The ocean at night is more likely to encounter danger than during the day, and the two fatal factors of lack of light and low visibility make the witch walking on the beach increase the probability of encountering "sea spirits".

A strange tale of a sea resentful spirit wandering on the seashore, formed by the resentment of an ordinary person or a witch who died unexpectedly. There are requirements for the formation of sea resentment spirits, and they must be people or witches who die on the seashore and die unexpectedly.

Before going out, an enthusiastic waitress witch also reminded her to be careful on the road.

"At night, strange figures appear on the beach, and the last time I saw it, I didn't dare to take a shortcut to the beach at night. If you encounter a 'Sea Spirit', don't hesitate to run, don't answer their questions, and don't stare into their eyes. ”

The witch said that, and pushed the dining cart into the guest room next to it.

Flying away from the airspace densely populated by floating buildings and witches, Ruiji took out her phone and searched for the keyword "Sea Wraith Spirit" on the encyclopedia. There are many articles and reports on the Internet about sightings of sea spirits, most of them from Western countries.

There are also some along the coast of Japan, but not very often. After analysis, some witches suggested that one of the main reasons for the lack of sea resentment spirits in Japan is that there are many shrines in the country, and where there are shrines, there must be torii gates.

The torii gate has the effect of blocking filth and evil spirits, and all the places where the sea spirits appear belong to the edge corners that cannot be covered by the pure power of the shrine and the torii.

The Canary Islands are a place with a high incidence of sea grudge attacks, and the environment surrounded by the sea has created a natural hotbed for strange talkers, and the island does not have a special defense department for strange stories like Japan, and is basically in a state where everyone is cleaning up the snow in front of their own doors, and the spirit of cooperation is relatively thin, unless there is an incident that endangers the collective interests of the witches on the island.

Before leaving, the kind witch also added a key piece of information - the souvenir shop sells runes with protective properties, and buying one to hang on her body can save some of the sea spirits from mental damage.

The price of each rune stone is very cheap, and it is definitely a figure that the tourist witch can afford.

Ruiji was skeptical, as the rune was the most expensive item sold in the tourist souvenir shop, an ocean-blue ore with a little golden core that cost $500, or 70,000 yen.

"That witch must be a to, don't buy it."

Spending 70,000 yen on a stone that doesn't seem to be of much use will definitely hurt your money. If it was Miss Eudora's, it would have been a little bit too.

Just now he withdrew $5,000 in cash from the lobby manager, Miss Sharon, and the other party wanted to give more, but Ruiji was worried that he would be held against him if he wanted too much, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous.

5,000 US dollars is equivalent to 700,000 yen, she has never seen so much money in her life, and if she tries to save as much as possible on the island, she can take an extra few hundred thousand yuan and save it at home, and give it to Jingliu as a dowry in the future.

If Shizuru doesn't want to marry another witch, she keeps it and buys an empty island.

The rich witch's money is so easy to get, Ruiji thought to herself.

She passed by several shops that bought souvenirs, and found that the runes that protected the sea resentment spirits were sold at a uniform price, all of which were sold for $500.

The ore is of high quality, strong light transmittance, suitable for use as decorations and pendants, the price is less than 0 and it is possible to consider, 70,000 yen is impossible to make her heartbroken, no one's money is blown by the wind.

Passing by a magic supply store, a cold voice came from my ears.

"Miss, do you need divination? With only $1 at a time, you're ready to anticipate where you're going in the future. ”

The witch, dressed like a magic stick, twisted a golden tarot card between her fingers, unable to read the contents of the card, and there were dozens of identical cards on the table.

It is an important medium for divination, with high accuracy, and it is more convincing to witches than ordinary crystal ball divination.

Ruiji has never been very interested in divination, thinking of ignoring the witch and leaving directly, but she didn't expect the witch to use magic to levitate the tarot cards on the table and arrange them in front of her in a uniform manner.

"Come on, draw one, the divination process only takes two minutes. I've seen your previous experience, you walked past a dozen small shops selling souvenirs, and the clerk witch enthusiastically recommended you rune stones to ward off sea spirits. You look at the price card, put things back, ignore their retention, and complain that some witch who told you about it is To, right? ”

"You're stalking me?"

The witch's description is accurate, it is possible that she used backtracking magic or other means, and the most direct thing must be tracking, otherwise it would be impossible to explain that she was able to describe the details clearly.

"I never follow for divination, but I combine a little bit of magic that other witches think is a trick with tarot cards to predict or go back in time."

She pulled out a sea-blue transparent ore from under her black robes, the golden core in the middle shimmering in the dim light.

"You're right, the rune stone is not worth 500 dollars, it is not even worth 5 dollars in terms of material alone, the only value lies in the middle core, the mental damage caused by the sea wrath spirit is diluted by it, plus the wholesale price of the rune stone of the high-quality core is about 50 dollars, the witch profiteers on the island know that the witches who come to travel are stupid and have a lot of money, not to mention that you still have this thing on your chest-"

The witch in the shape of a magic stick touched the brass-colored butcher bird badge with her gaze, and the badge seemed to be flicked twice by an invisible hand.

"The price of runes varies from person to person, and if you change it to a rich witch wearing a famous brand, they may set a more outrageous price, 5,000 or 10,000 dollars. If you come to divination, this rune stone will be given to you as a gift. ”

The witch put the gift on the table. The light on the first floor of the magic shop pierces through the transparent parts of the runestone, allowing the light to reach the core, and Ruiji finds it more beautiful than the runes sold in other stores, and she kind of wants it.

If you do a fortune for $1, you can get $500 for something.

"There are no traps in your divination, do you? For example, the first few minutes are $1, and the next step is to sit on the ground. I've seen a lot of scams, at the beginning they said that they would give away shampoo for free, and when they signed it, they would immediately collect money when they filled in their personal information......"

Similar scams are not uncommon in the witch world line, and a while ago there were witches on the streets of Shibuya who bought and sold, and they were passers-by as middle school students, saying "I'm a student, life is not easy, you don't seem to be short of money, what's wrong with buying more".

Riki is one of those who gets CPU. The brand of her broom is seen to be high-end at a glance, so she is mistaken for a rich witch, and a fat sheep who is stupid and rich in adult money.

Fortunately, she was clever and didn't let any witch succeed in slaughtering a penny.

"It's good to be cautious, the Canary Islands are full of traps and scams. It's just boring for me to give you divination, my mothers left me to go on vacation to Reykjavík, and I don't have a partner, and I'm bored to death by watching the dusty shops all day long, watching the people on the streets. ”

The witch yawned. Her expression was sincere, and Richie's instincts were to believe it, and she pulled the $1 bill out of her pocket and placed it on the counter.

"It just so happens that I'm bored too."

Draw one of the 78 tarot cards floating around and turn the side with the pattern and text upside down.

"It's the priestess of Grand Arcana."

The Grand Arcana, also known as the Great Arcana, is one of the 22 cards that represent a god, and the Priestess is one of them. There are two types of cards, straight and backward.

Ruiji is drawn in the right position, which means that the divination results are relatively optimistic.

"How did it turn out?"

Putting the card down, the Stick Witch stared at it for a few seconds, slowly stating the divination results.

"The right priestess means that you are careful every step of the way, constantly making gradual corrections to the direction of the future, and striving to develop your inner potential, and the future will change. Emotionally, he also adopts a subtle strategy, and his attitude towards love is relatively cold, first through passive acceptance, and finally his own answer. ”

The divination is accurate, as the cards point to it, Ryji has always been cold or not interested at all, and only wants to develop her career and academic progress.

"Can you do a divination for my sister too?"

She took another $1 bill to pay for it.

"Of course you can, no matter how many times."

The Stick Witch collects the cash and reshuffles the cards. Richie pulls a flipped card from the suspended card and is the reverse hermit.
