Abducted a pirate hunter

Chapter 8 Witch Instinct

Sylphis flipped through the newspapers he had just bought from Newsbird, and also picked up a new stack of reward orders.

"Huh?" Sylphis, who was flipping through the bounty order, saw a familiar face and asked in surprise: "Did this guy run out?"

The conspicuous red nose on the bounty order clearly shows the identity of the other party. When Bucky escaped half a year ago, Sylphis had already entered semi-retreat mode in order to make a recovery potion and did not pay attention to the news. Until now, his bounty has increased. It was only then that I learned about the news when I saw the new reward order.

But Sylphis didn't care very much. She was more concerned about another thing now.

"It's around here, right?" Sylphis, who was flying on the sea, stopped his broom and looked around to confirm his approximate location.

Putting the newspaper and the reward order away, Sylphis looked up at the clear weather, blinked his red pupils and said to himself: "A storm is coming."

Sylphis does not know navigation. She uses the ability of the Witch City, divination.

But it is only a very simple ability, not as good as the real precognitive witches. They can know the past and predict the future, and their divination abilities are much stronger than other witches.

When Sylphis uses the power of divination, her eyes will turn red and she can ask the yes or no of something, letting her know how to choose.

She had used this trick before to ask Hawke whether he could successfully collect the herbs and whether Shanks could be trusted.

However, the scope of the effect is very small. For example, she asked whether Shanks can be trusted. She only asked whether he could take her out of the auction house safely without doing anything to her. What happened after leaving the auction house was not within the scope of divination. , if you want to know, you must divine again.

However, the power of divination is limited and cannot be used too many times in a day, otherwise the magic power will run wild. After all, this is not her specialty. The more the ability is used, the greater the damage to the user.

However, Sylvestre's use of divination to predict the weather was not to avoid the storm. She chose to come to the sea during the day to wait for the storm on purpose, for the companion flowers of the Neptune species.

"Companion flower?" Sylvester repeated doubtfully.

"Yeah, I think you might be interested." The owner of the tavern said casually while wiping the wine glass: "In the sea near the island, there is a sea king species that has occupied the land for a long time and will only surface when the storm comes. It looks like a snake with a flower growing on its head. I heard it can be used as medicine, but I don’t know what kind of medicine it actually is.”

"Oh?" Sylvester became interested. She had been searching for medicinal materials on the island these days. The owner of the tavern was the landlord who rented her room. After a long time, he knew what she was doing, so he told her about it.

"It happens to be the season of storms recently, so you might run into it." Then he laughed loudly and said: "But it is the Sea King type after all, so it is not that easy to get."

Whether or not she can defeat it is another matter. Sylphis is quite interested in this companion flower, so she won’t suffer any loss if she goes to take a look. It’s good to be able to defeat it, but she doesn’t have to worry about running away if she can’t defeat it.

The proprietress angrily knelt on his head and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about?! That monster ate so many people during the storm, you bastard old man and you want a little girl to pick flowers?!"

The boss covered his head in pain and said weakly: "I'm just talking. Who dares to die in the face of such a monster? Right, little girl... mother?"

The boss looked at the empty seats in confusion. Where are the people? !

Sylvester tightened the hat on his head, cast water-proof magic on his cloak, and waited nervously for the Sea Serpent King to appear.

She was holding a long whip in her hand. Although it was not her usual weapon, the soft sword was really not easy to use here, so she could only use this in addition or subtraction.

Sylphis was soaked in the rain for a long time, and nothing appeared except for the waves. She stared at the sea, and when she was considering another divination, there was a vague movement under the sea.

Sylvester was immediately happy and watched attentively. Unexpectedly, a huge object suddenly broke out of the sea. Sylvester was blown away by the strong airflow. She tightly grasped the broom handle with both hands and turned it over several times.

After finally stopping in a daze, she realized that this sea king was much larger than she expected. Sylphis's face turned a little pale and he looked towards the top of its head.

A small red flower that was completely out of proportion to the snake's head swayed above the head of the Neptune. No matter how damaged it was by wind and rain, it didn't even lose a single petal. It was super tough.

Sylphis was still observing the companion flowers when she was suddenly stared at by a cold gaze. Goosebumps spread all over her body. When she looked down, she saw the Sea Serpent King who had discovered her with a pair of golden snake eyes that were bigger than hers. Staring at her.

Sylphis squeezed the whip in her hand nervously, feeling that it was useless. Before she could swing the whip, the Sea Serpent King swung its tail sharply. Although it did not hit her, the huge air flow once again Scattered Sylphis upwards.

"Whoa, ah, ah! Attack magic, attack magic!" Sylphis clutched the broom tightly with one hand and the whip with the other, trying to recall the magic spell while screaming: "What kind of attack magic can I know? !”

Sylphis's mind was in a mess, and she couldn't think of an attack method for a while. This was the first time she had encountered such a scene of fighting a large creature, and she was so panicked that she couldn't find where to go.

While she was dizzy, she saw the snake's tail swinging towards her again. Sylphis hurriedly picked up the long whip and swung it, shouting: "Stop!"

The snake's tail stopped for a second, but the magic could not restrain it much. It quickly broke through the magic and swung towards Sylphis again.

Fortunately, Sylphis also knew this. He seized a second's pause and pressed his wrist on the broom to fly downward quickly. He was muttering about the available attack magic and his mind was running rapidly.

The long whip disappeared from her hand, and Sylphis took out her magic wand, which was a gift given to her by her teacher. Using magic with the wand will increase the power of the magic.

The silver authority on the main body has silver ink-colored patterns, and the length of the authority alone is almost the same as that of Sylvester, which is why Sylvester doesn't use it very often.

The head of the scepter is a silver ring, and in the center hangs a full moon with a silver halo, which is quite dazzling.

"Impact!" Sylvester quickly chanted a spell towards it.

The Snake King received a violent impact out of thin air, and his whole body seemed to have been hit hard by something invisible. The Snake King spat out a mouthful of blood, but glared at her angrily, roaring and roaring.

Seeing this, Sylphis secretly thought something was wrong. Even if she took out the scepter, she still couldn't beat it. She quickly put away the scepter, grabbed the broom handle with both hands and prepared to run away at a high speed.

Before she could fly far, the huge snake's tail hit her. Sylphis only had time to draw a circle with her fingers to complete the barrier to protect herself, but she was still forcefully knocked away.

Seeing that she was about to hit the sea hard, Sylphis closed her eyes and vaguely heard someone shouting her name. Then she was caught by a figure that suddenly jumped out, and they both fell into the sea.

"A witch will have a strong curiosity about things that interest her, thus ignoring many dangers." Her teacher said: "This is our instinct."

"And what you need to learn is that your reason must be strong enough to suppress your instincts, otherwise you will become so strong that you don't have to be afraid of danger." The woman fiddled with her fiery red curly hair and smiled contemptuously: "You can live. Those who survive a hundred years are the real witches, otherwise they are just idiots driven by instinct."

"have you understood?"

Facing the annoying student who was looking at her with a silly smile, the powerful Scarlet Flame Witch stretched out her claws to ravage the student's soft face with helplessness, and said through gritted teeth: "Are you listening? I, speak!”

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Sylphys struggled to get rid of his teacher's clutches, covering his red face and said aggrievedly: "I'm listening! So the teacher chose to make himself strong enough not to be afraid of danger, right?"

"Of course!" said the Red Flame Witch with a proud look on her face. She is currently the most powerful existence among all the witches.

"Then I want to be like the teacher!" The young Sylphis grinned happily and said, "I also want to be strong enough not to be afraid of danger!"

Hearing this, the Red Flame Witch couldn't laugh anymore. She sighed and hugged little Sylphis, and said: "You are not a natural witch. There is no way you can be the same as me. Fortunately, you are only right. Interested in medicine..."

"There is still money!" Sylphis raised his little hand to interrupt her and muttered: "You can't get medicinal materials without money?"

The Scarlet Flame Witch choked and ignored her and continued: "Fortunately, you are only interested in medicinal materials. You'd better hone your reason and don't pounce on rare medicinal materials as soon as you see them."

"It's better to live in the mountains to collect herbs, and it's better not to come out." The Scarlet Flame Witch, who didn't know that even the mountains were not safe where Sylphis was about to go, educated the students.

"But living in the mountains, no one drinks my potion?" Sylvester frowned and said in confusion: "No one drinks it, how do I know where the potion needs to be improved?"

The Crimson Flame Witch... She didn't want to talk anymore, she was holding Sylphis's little head and secretly feeling sad. How did she raise such an ignorant little idiot?

But there is really no way around it. There is no witch who is not curious about the world. No matter what the reason is, they cannot stay in one place for too long.

Most of the previous witches tried to kill themselves, especially this one who was so stupid. The Scarlet Flame Witch sighed, feeling that there was no hope for this one again.

The last Potion Witch had been gone for hundreds of years, and not many people knew her. Moreover, she did not go to a high-risk world. The Scarlet Flame Witch really couldn't think of how a Potion Witch with no fighting ability could survive in a high-risk world.

But since she knew she was going to a high-risk world, Sylvester was very excited, because there were more strange medicinal materials in such a place, and there were many unknown types. She felt that it would be no problem for her to stay in that world for hundreds of years.

The Scarlet Flame Witch was very speechless. Is this because you are worried that you are bored? !
