"Yes, yes, it is a metaphor! To put it simply, it is a prop that can promote blood circulation in the magic circuit, but its scope of application is very narrow. For example, you and I have no reaction to this thing, and it is only useful for the blood of witches."
Will subconsciously told the jokes that the readers of the original novel particularly liked.
But this statement actually... describes very accurately the usefulness of bloody mint to the witch clan.
After promoting the blood circulation of the magic circuit, it will speed up the witch's heartbeat, relieve some of the restrictions on the magic talents in the witch's bloodline, and open up the senses of the whole body circuit in one go, so in the end the witch will feel...
Very cool!
Very cool!
It feels like reaching ○○! (Magical aspect of course)
Because in the original work, the witch's reaction when contacted is very irritating, and even when she is close to the bloody mint, she will have a similar reaction, so readers privately call her this.
Although the name is a bit strange, it looks like something bad that shouldn't be used.
However, Blood Mint is a very useful and irreplaceable catalyst for the breakthrough of the Witch's bloodline.
This thing can even be used as a plug-in for some ancient magic that witches cannot use due to their own age and ability limitations.
I just don’t know why, but Leia in the original work didn’t use this thing until the decisive battle against the defeated dog. Could it be that she didn’t know it could be used like this before?
According to the description of the original work, it was through this that Leah was able to break through the areas where she was stuck in scientific research before joining the team. The witch's bloodline is like some kind of high-power engine. As long as the power and lubrication are sufficient, it can break through many bottlenecks without thinking.
"It's so scary. Yi Aier almost thought that the young master's claws were about to reach out to the hundreds-year-old witch."
"What kind of existence do the System family members look like in your eyes..."
"Hmm... But Master, it seems that one coin is missing? Hmm... Yi Aier opened it when he was cleaning the house before and counted it carefully... carefully."
"...Indeed, I used one today. But don't worry, the real one is still in my hands."
Will flicked the coin in his hand. He hired craftsmen who were very good at imitating counterfeit coins. The two coins were exactly the same from hand to weight. In order to distinguish them, Will made a small score on all the imitation coins.
The reason for not scratching the real thing is because...the real thing is very powerful. Ordinary knives can't leave marks on it at all. Will gave up after trying several times.
Now he has a perfect, unmarked original coin!
oh.
certainly……
This means...
Will looked out the window at the moonlight.
Hey, the coins I showed to Leah in front of her in the afternoon were fake. I purposely showed it to her just to get her to take the fake one away.
And the fake one...
Smeared with bloody peppermint essential oil!
Yes, this is the fishing plan Will came up with!
Trading with real witch coins is only one-time, and it cannot give Leah "positive feedback", which is a big loss.
but……
This little witch will try out the bloody mint first, and after discovering how good it is, she will most likely become addicted.
Just like a cat whose hair explodes when touched by someone, it can only be slaughtered after inhaling catnip.
In this way, coins coated with "bloody mint essential oil" become fishing bait that can be used continuously.
Even because of the positive feedback mechanism that can bring pleasure to the witch, it can be used to train the arrogant witch.
Will opened his "Mission System" notebook. Under the warm light of the small desk lamp, there were traces of what he had written down after crossing out things before:
[Task 39: Gain the trust of Witch Leah. 】(scratches)
[Mission 39: Let Witch Leah experience the goodness of Blood Mint, and let her obey you in the end! 】
[Reward: Maybe... an obedient witch? 】
"Hey... I wonder if the arrogant and disobedient little Leah is quite happy now?"
Chapter 27 Moisturizing and warming things up
Leah felt strange.
——Ever since she stole the coin, things have become... very strange.
Not only was her heartbeat constantly accelerating, but the circuit that had always been very stable for the witch also became restless.
This is a situation she has never encountered in more than a hundred years.
Looking in the mirror, Leah wiped the sweat from her forehead - maybe the blood circulation in the circuit was too fast, and she sweated a lot.
Such a strong heartbeat...
Such a throbbing circuit...
Such a restless heart...
That's right...
There is only one possibility...
Don't tell me!
Own!
In love? !
After all, when she was living in the deep forest, her mother once described that when she fell in love with that man, her heart beat faster, her circuits burned, and she felt uneasy. She also said that the love of witches was like this!
Thinking of this, Leah was so frightened that she quickly washed her face with water and calmed her brain again - but maybe only her brain calmed down.
Impossible.
No matter what she did, she would never fall in love with a playboy with such weak abilities. This was the worst kind of villain she had ever read in romance novels!
Besides, he is still a bastard!
Those are your students, don’t think anything wrong about them!
However, her wrist that was grabbed by Will still felt a faint burning sensation. This feeling reminded her of Will approaching her face, using a playful and threatening tone, and that he had just gone through the period of voice change and was still a little immature. The voice, the words spoken.
"——I'll come to you for a physical check-up, okay?"
Leah subconsciously tightened her legs.
"Ahhhh - Will System!!! Will System!!! What the hell is going on?!"
She ruffled her golden twintails and walked out of the toilet irritably.
The moment she stepped into the clear moonlight outside the door, Leah paused.
The corridor in front of me was empty, and because it was already midnight, the lights were not turned on, and they were all illuminated by the moonlight.
"Alas...have you made it to this point again?"
Leah lit a fire with her fingertips and dispersed a small trace of moonlight in the corridor. Then she touched the wall and walked sideways little by little.
She was left alone in the laboratory.
No……
In fact, until now, she has always been the only one.
From the moment her mother, who had always been dependent on her, left without saying goodbye and disappeared, she was alone.
Leah opened the door to her laboratory.
Her small laboratory was brightly lit. The inside was as messy as her office, but upon closer inspection, every magical medium and related prop was placed in a certain order and labeled.
In the middle, there is a huge book, the pages of which are a little yellowed. You can tell at a glance that it is an ancient book from a long time ago.
This is the source of the ancient magic of witches.
Five hundred years ago, the ancestor Ya'er, who was dubbed the "Witch", received an unusual clearance reward after clearing the dungeon called "The Forgotten Library" alone -
A vast collection of lost books from antiquity to modern times.
Later, there were rumors that these books also contained some original texts of mythology, but she only left a few books related to ancient magic, and the others were burned to the ground.
Since then, the witch Ya'er, who has mastered "ancient magic", seems to have used some of the magic to transform her own magic circuit, giving herself and her descendants a long life and a highly talented magic circuit bloodline. Then she began her journey around the world where she would do whatever she wanted... ah, no, she would do whatever she wanted.
However, Ya'er is Ya'er, and Ya'er's descendants are Ya'er's descendants.
Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix... But the mouse's son is not born with the ability to dig holes.
These descendants of the witch are not born with ancient magic. Even when comparing the original sources of ancient magic, there are a lot of obscure and inconsistent descriptions in modern writing, which makes it difficult to use them.
"Moisten things and warm them..."
This is the ancient magic that Leah wants to use this time.
When I was a child, I lived in a deep forest and occasionally encountered heavy snowfall.
That day, she walked through the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, returning to the hut hidden in the dense woods.
The weather was very cold, the witch's house was far away from the village, and there was not enough firewood in the village.
The mother held her in her arms and ignited the magic of "moisten things and warm them" in the center of the room.
It was a small cup of water on the table. After it was ignited by the moisturizer and warmed up, it had the magical ability to radiate heat to the surroundings.
The house slowly warmed up, and even though the wind and snow outside the window were still there, the witch who didn't want to have contact with people felt warm in her heart in such a shelter in the deep forest.
"How about it, Leah, it's very warm. I will also teach you this magic in the future."
"Yeah, I want to learn!"
"It's very important... because we can only rely on ourselves to raise a warm flame that can withstand the cold and burn forever, haha, even though this doesn't look like a flame."
"Why...why?"
"We witches... are very strong and can live in this world for a long, long, long time. However, the more this happens, the harder it is for us to contact those weak... short lives. In the end, we will always be the only ones. "
"This is probably the curse that Lord Ya'er gave us while giving us the gift of life."
"Remember this, Leah."
"Powerful and lonely will always be synonymous with our witches."
"The spring that belongs to us may never come again."
The mother rubbed her head, but all that was left in her eyes was the warm "moistening things with warmth" in front of her eyes.
The flame in the memory eventually died out.
In front of Leah's eyes was a specially prepared conversion solvent, colorless, transparent and slightly viscous water, placed in a glass beaker.
at the same time……
Leah looked up and glanced at the huge countdown written on the wall - 10 days.
It was also when she participated in the "Eighth Flame and Flame-like Magic Research Academic Competition" that she planned to show off the ancient magic.
only……
The progress was very unsatisfactory, and to this day, Leah has not been able to successfully achieve it once.
"Well, now that we have the coin in hand again, we can continue the experiment. This time, we put in a little less mediator than before..."
Leah took a deep breath and put the coin into a cup of specially prepared conversion solvent.
She closed her eyes.
If successful, the coin should maintain its state inside, and the conversion solvent will become a high-temperature molten-like liquid that can continue to burn for a long, long time - as long as she is not willing to stop.
If successful, after the first energy supply is completely over, she can maintain high temperature and self-ignition for a long time without energy supply.
The practical application of moistening things with warmth is not strong, but it is irreplaceable in the transition to other ancient magic. Therefore, it is a magic that must be learned by witches who study fire attributes if they want to advance to a higher level.
After the attack that day, she reread the ancient books, translated them, and reflected on several previous failures.
She thought of some ratios that might be closer to successful media.
And...
Using the coin that Yaer made for them as the "universal medium that will not be damaged" to act as the excessive heat source may be easier to succeed.
Now, she finally got the coin back.
