The Witch's Imaginary Land: Redemption Comes After Sticking Together

Page 11

Wait a minute, Jiang Kehan ​​looked past the floating cannons and couldn't help but rub her eyes, repeatedly checking if she was seeing things.

Why is there a Divine Might Invincible General Cannon?

Although the material is definitely not copper, the jet-black metallic luster and the two classic cannon wheels make it clear that this is a muzzle-loading cannon!

Witches' wands are usually not limited by their shape. On the contrary, they come in all shapes and sizes in pursuit of power or to achieve the desired effect. However, Jiang Kehan ​​still couldn't imagine what it would be like if, when everyone else was waving their wands or at least summoning a sky full of floating cannons to weave a special formation, a witch suddenly took out a muzzle-loading cannon from her spatial bracelet, placed it in front of her, and said, "Bomb her, meow meow!"

But it seems pretty exciting?

Jiang Kehan ​​turned her gaze away. Even if the price wasn't high, this cannon-type wand was definitely not suitable for a little witch like her; the required magic power was too high.

The witch's magic is very special. Not only is the magic of each witch different, but it also does not exist in nature. This means that witches cannot draw external magic from nature to restore themselves. However, this is also one of the reasons why witches can invade different universes. Their great power originates from themselves, and they despise nature.

Every witch is both a magic producer and a magic consumer, and the main function of a magic wand is to amplify the power of the magic or increase the speed of the magic. However, the protective magic wand that Jiang Kehan ​​desires is a relatively niche type.

"Boss, do you have a suitable protective wand?"

Jiang Kehan ​​stopped looking around randomly. She felt that instead of figuring it out on her own, it would be better to ask a professional, such as the store manager who was taking a nap in a rocking chair with a straw fan covering his face, feeling drowsy.

"Hmm, is there a guest?" The other person absentmindedly took the grass fan off his face. Although he looked no older than Jiang Kehan, he stood up slowly with his hands on his waist, humming, "Oh, a protective magic wand, right? Let me see."

She took an entire drawer out of the shelf and placed it in front of Jiang Kehan.

"Well, these are all the protective wands we have in the store. But judging from your height, you must be a little witch. Why did you decide to buy a protective wand?" the other person asked curiously.

The main effect of the protective wand is to interrupt the enemy's actions and change the nature of spells, allowing the originally scattered spells to be concentrated in one area for harassment or defense. They are mostly short wands and are usually used more by dueling witches.

Jiang Kehan ​​looked helplessly at the other person joking about her height. She also wanted to become a turret witch who could overwhelm enemies with magic, but she only knew two spells. Considering the recent hunting activities at the academy and the fact that her spell list had been incomplete for a long time, she had to give up the idea of ​​becoming a turret witch and become a support.

Moreover, the protective wand can truly transform the "Frost Shield" into a shield that can withstand attacks, making "Rain Prayer" more versatile and the most obvious choice to enhance her strength.

"Maybe it's preparation for becoming a Duel Witch," Jiang Kehan ​​said with a smile, trying to brush it off.

The other party didn't care much, but asked some really important questions: "So what is the range of your magic power, and does it have any special properties? If so, please describe it as clearly as possible. Protective wands may be interfered with by special magical properties, causing them to be completely destroyed. We don't cover after-sales service for that."

"Ah, my magic power test result is 234. It shouldn't have any special properties, right?" Jiang Kehan ​​subconsciously looked at her watch terminal, input magic power, and tested it again. The number on it was 240. She just assumed it was a reasonable error.

"Your talent is quite impressive," the other person said, giving Jiang Kehan ​​a second glance. He then took out a short staff from a drawer. It had a distinctly industrial feel, with all the parts fitting together perfectly. It was made of different types of wood interwoven with strange crystals and handed it to Jiang Kehan. "Let me think about it. This short staff from the Audney Workshop might be quite good. Here you go."

Jiang Kehan ​​took the short staff. The staff was less than 20cm long, but it was of high quality and not very light. It made a whooshing sound when swung.

She tried channeling magic and discovered that she could use a short staff to compress the spell with magic during its casting, thus altering it, but this required consuming more magic.

"What's the price?" Jiang Kehan ​​was quite fond of it. Her grasp of magic hadn't yet reached the point where she could freely change spell models, but the short staff could achieve the corresponding effect in a certain aspect in advance. Indeed, using tools is a kind of wisdom.

"Not expensive, 53 Witch Gold." The other party yawned, continued to lie in the rocking chair, and covered his face with a straw fan. "Just leave the money on the counter, goodbye."

Jiang Kehan's eyes twitched. She really wanted to complain about how the other party did business, and who said she only bought this kind of thing?

"Um, boss, I also want to buy a witch battle suit."

The other person jumped up, muttering curses under their breath, and looked at Jiang Kehan ​​sideways: "Next time, remember to say what you want to buy at the beginning. My sister, do you know that I haven't closed my eyes for five days because of the alchemy exam?"

Jiang Kehan ​​felt a chill run down her spine as she thought about the "Alchemist's Law" in her spatial bracelet, as if she were seeing her future self.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's my problem!" Jiang Kehan ​​seemed guilty about something, perhaps because she felt guilty about her future self.

"Oh, you want to become a Duel Witch, right? Do you want to be customized to those specifications?"

Jiang Kehan ​​quickly shook her head. The so-called witch battle suit was not designed for combat, but to prevent witches from messing around with their magic or failing at alchemy and getting injured, thus exposing large areas of skin in public. Its main feature was durability.

Witches aren't afraid of getting hurt; even little witches have terrifying self-healing abilities and can even revive as long as flesh and blood exist. However, the social death will follow this witch for life, especially since there are records in public places. Now she's been completely exposed and recorded, and will be subjected to continuous torture.

Miss Jiang, you wouldn't want your strange photos to be circulated in the Witch Government, would you? (jpg)

However, this was only designed to prevent witches from being accidentally affected by magic. The battle suits customized for witch duels are designed to ensure that they will not be damaged even if the two witches are fighting to the death, and they can also provide special bonuses. The price is completely beyond what Jiang Kehan ​​dares to look at now.

"A normal Little Witch battle outfit will do."

The other person was speechless, but still came up to Jiang Kehan, carefully examined her figure, and then pulled out a bodysuit and handed it to Jiang Kehan.

"Nice figure. This is the basic Little Witch Combat Suit. It won't be damaged even if attacked by magic of level 2 or higher. Including the short staff, transfer 100 Witch Gold to me."

Jiang Kehan ​​took the latex suit, unable to discern its material. It possessed not only the toughness of metal but also a fluid texture. She applied slight force and discovered that the force dissipated with the fluctuations on the surface of the latex suit, making it an extremely pure force-dissipating agent. Moreover, it offered good resistance to magic. However, it looked rough and astringent. She made up her mind that she would wear a robe over this suit.

Upon hearing her boss's words, she quickly nodded, transferred 100 Witch Gold to the other party's terminal, and then watched as the other party fell asleep standing up. Not daring to make a sound, she tiptoed to her waist, put her combat suit in her spatial bracelet, and quietly left.

She had compared prices before coming. Although the store manager seemed a bit unapproachable, the prices were actually very reasonable. However, thinking of the manager's somewhat haggard face, Jiang Kehan ​​felt a little emotional.

Ah, alchemy.

Sigh, you dog.

Oh no, I'll be rolling them too from now on. Oh well, never mind.

Next, she bought some daily necessities from different shops. When she looked back, she found that her rented space bracelet was full, and she only had a little over 300 Witch Gold left in her terminal account. If she remembered correctly, there were still 20 days left in the month, and she would have to consider her budget for food.

Ugh, Jiang Kehan's heart was bleeding. Although food was cheap, the prices of related items would skyrocket if it involved fighting or improving her strength. No way, she had to find a job!

She returned to the first floor, found a public seat, and used her terminal to search for jobs she could do. Finally, she found a job that required no magic skills, no strength, and no educational qualifications.

Wait, why is there a requirement for appearance?!

Jiang Kehan ​​opened the details page with a strange expression. Fortunately, it wasn't the job she was looking for; it was just recruiting temporary waiters to prepare for a party.

Witches are usually paid daily, since their thinking is very unpredictable and they might switch careers after a few days, so temporary workers are very common.

Larger companies or organizations might offer weekly pay to some members, and only those who accept this offer will be given important responsibilities—it's practically an unspoken rule among witches.

It's clear that the restaurant that issued the recruitment notice is catering to a huge gathering, and they have a shortage of ten waiters, or rather, atmosphere-building staff.

A normal witch gathering is just a private get-together with a few people, without much fanfare. But a gathering that requires witches to make an appearance, rather than relying on witch puppets, is definitely not just for celebration; it has a very strong purpose.

But what does all this have to do with Jiang Kehan? She sent her photo and basic information and waited for the other party's notification.

A short while later, the other party sent a message.

"Dear Miss Jiang, we look forward to your participation in a short training program at Gulinfang. If you agree, you will receive 5 witch gold coins per day for training and two level 1 spells as compensation. Furthermore, if you perform well, we will invite you to become a temporary waitress at Gulinfang for one day as compensation of 50 witch gold coins and a level 2 spell."

The other party also sent specific coordinates, located on Worry-Free Sky Island, which is the largest sky island street in the city. The training will take three days, but not now, in half a month.

Jiang Kehan ​​quickly calculated her time and, apart from the academy hunt a few days later, she had nothing else to do, so she agreed.

"Okay, I look forward to working with you."

Chapter 11 Ariel Haynes

Over the next few days, Jiang Kehan ​​officially began her student life, constantly traveling between classrooms. The witch's course schedule was very relaxed, with only about three classes a day. However, there were no easy classes; the witch needed to carefully study after class to make any progress.

Moreover, the witch's course is not a continuous curriculum; each lesson is somewhat independent. This is good news for Jiang Kehan, as she won't fall behind in her current studies because she doesn't understand the previous knowledge points.

So Jiang Kehan ​​was caught up in a cycle of attending classes and digesting course knowledge during the day, using the terminal to learn the witch's tutorial from scratch at night, and then spending three hours reading "The Alchemist's Law" in her tedious life. It has to be said that it's great that the witch doesn't die suddenly, otherwise Jiang Kehan ​​might have become a transmigrator who was killed by herself, which would be unbearable to watch.

Although she worked hard and had a good aptitude for learning, these few days couldn't change anything when faced with the massive amount of data she needed to learn, except for alchemy.

Alchemy is a field that little witches explore after graduating. It doesn't involve much theory and focuses more on practice and innovation. There's a saying: "Magic materials science will bankrupt three generations, runes (enchanting and forging) will ruin your life, but alchemy is the only way to get rich without making a mistake."

It's obvious that Jiang Kehan ​​isn't afraid of explosions now, she's only afraid of being poor. Moreover, her knowledge from her previous life is just icing on the cake for alchemy. So, in a way, Jiang Kehan ​​has already taken the lead over the other little witches.

The alchemy area in the dormitory had some standard scientific instruments and the three essential alchemy tools: a crucible, a spoon, and a suppressor. Although rudimentary, it was enough for Jiang Kehan ​​at the moment.

She was intently watching the green slime moving on the anvil. It was a prairie slime she had bought online for 2.8 yuan. It had originally been a lively little thing, but now it was almost crystallizing.

The Alchemist's Code records some simple alchemy recipes. Jiang Kehan ​​is currently working with a strange ingredient called slime jelly. The essence of alchemy is to transform one or more substances into materials with special effects. Regardless of whether the effects are reliable, they are guaranteed to be exciting.

Jiang Kehan ​​had the suppressor ready. She couldn't understand why there was a possibility of an explosion during the process of turning grassland slime into slime jelly. Neither of the two things had anything to do with explosions, yet an explosion could occur. Perhaps this was alchemy.

Fortunately, the process went smoothly. The crystallization of the green slime spreading from the inside suddenly stopped, and the solidified part rapidly expanded, creating small pores. When placed on the ground, it became bouncy and, in turn, lifted up from the inside, assimilating the gelatinous part on the outside, finally forming a jelly-like gel.

Jiang Kehan ​​put the prepared slime jelly into a glass bottle, wiped the sweat from her forehead. Although the explosive power described in the Alchemist's Law was like being hit lightly, she didn't want to be blown up for no reason.

"Does eating this stuff make me jump like a slime?" She stared at the jelly in the bottle, somewhat puzzled. Although she had handled it by hand the whole time, she still couldn't understand the principle behind it.

The book describes the effect as allowing the little witch to easily jump dozens of meters in the air after eating it, and it also thoughtfully notes whether there are any foreign objects on her head, so she shouldn't stubbornly run into them.

After all, it was the first alchemical product she had ever created, so she didn't hesitate to list it on the end-user market, priced at 10 Witch Gold, with the main point being that she wanted it to take another form to accompany her.

Sigh, I still have to go to work. After working hard for half a day, I only earn 7.2 yuan. You know, a non-basic level 1 spell costs tens of yuan, and a rare level 2 spell can even reach hundreds of yuan. Moreover, some self-developed spells with better effects are not necessarily available for purchase.

Jiang Kehan ​​carefully cleaned all the equipment before leaving. There are many cases in the Alchemist's Law where negligence has led to failure, or even brain damage from explosions.

Once outside, she discovered a message on her terminal, which had been muted to prevent disturbance.

[Li Hui]: "Ke Han, will you go hunting today?"

Jiang Kehan ​​replied to the other party with some doubt.

Yes, why?

[Li Hui]: "Hmm, is that so? Then I'll come and take a look too."

Huh? Jiang Kehan ​​was caught off guard by the surprise. She had heard about Li Hui's elusive nature these past few days, but she didn't expect him to take the initiative to contact her. This was a good thing.

"Really? I'm really looking forward to hunting with Li Hui!"

Li Hui, who had just gotten up, yawned, looked at the reply on the terminal, and casually picked out a trench coat to put on. Underneath was a specially made witch battle suit, the kind that could support witch duels. Then she took off her witch hat to cover her slightly messy hair.

Her staff was also a short staff, but the top was specially modified to have a bladed shape, and she held it as if she were holding a scalpel.

[Li Hui]: "I'll be there soon. You should go and meet up with the teacher first."

"it is good."

After replying, Jiang Kehan ​​took her short cane and headed to the meeting place she had arranged with her teacher. However, before leaving, she made sure to adjust her clothes so that the bodysuit underneath wouldn't show. After putting it on, she realized that the bodysuit was actually tight-fitting. She was embarrassed when she saw herself wearing it. It was so revealing!

They had agreed to meet at the south side of the academy. At that moment, Lü Xiangtong was whispering with a witch that Jiang Kehan ​​had never seen before.

The other person had light golden curly hair, a Western-looking face with distinct yet delicate features, like a canary imprisoned in a nobleman's room in a fairy tale. However, the person was exceptionally lively, dressed in hunter-like attire with leg straps on their thighs, on which were attached daggers and arrows.

Lu Xiangtong noticed Jiang Kehan's arrival and introduced her with a slight smile. She had been paying attention to this little devil these past few days, and the girl's diligence had won her favor.

“Jiang Kehan, this is Li Hui’s deputy, Ariel Haynes, who came from the West to stay temporarily and is also our companion on this hunt.”

Ariel Haynes turned around, gave a gentlemanly bow, and scrutinized Jiang Kehan ​​before speaking.

"Hello, Jiang Kehan, it's nice to meet you. You can call me Ai Li'er."

Jiang Kehan ​​looked at the other person bowing slightly and awkwardly imitated the other person's gesture in response: "Hello, me too, it's nice to meet you."

As Ariel watched Jiang Kehan's clumsy imitation, she raised an eyebrow slightly, took something out of her pocket and held it in her palm, making sure Jiang Kehan ​​didn't see it.

"As a classmate, please accept my greeting gift."

Jiang Kehan ​​didn't see Lü Xiangtong's helpless expression. She reached out and took it, saying, "Ah, okay."

What's that sticky stuff with suction cups?

As soon as she got her hands on it, Jiang Kehan ​​realized something was wrong. Recalling Miss Chi's introduction of the family, she suddenly had a premonition about what it was.
