I'm not a magician

The whispered conversation in the corner of the hotel did not attract much attention, only the maid holding the tray stood in another corner, casting worried eyes on Ji Chi from time to time.

In her opinion, it was a lucky and unlucky mermaid. She was lucky enough to have a beauty that would overwhelm the ocean, but unfortunately, she was captured by a profiteering businessman. She might be chosen as a sacrifice for this year's ceremony.

Rationality told Anna that she was just a little maid in a small hotel now, and her own life was very difficult, and she was incapable of saving other people's sorrows.

However, Anna suddenly became firmer, clasping the tray tightly with both hands.

Wasn't she in the same predicament then?If it weren't for someone willing to help her, she would have died tragically under the torture of the guard monster.

So today, let her be a rescuer.

Ji Chi is very unhappy now, one is that he seems to have dug a huge hole for himself, and the other is that he is really hungry now, but he can't drink a mouthful of steaming fish soup.

Because the recipes and habits of mermaids and humans are very different, the boiling hot fish soup in the eyes of mermaids is no different from the magma stewed fish in the eyes of humans.

It doesn't matter if you are hungry for a while now, Ji Chi wanted to wait until he returned to his room to eat, but that strange maid kept staring at him, which meant that if you don't eat fish fillets, I'm going to make a fuss.

Badelo gave him a sympathetic look: "Why don't you eat two bites? Many humans here also like freshly cut fish fillets."

Ji Chi hummed. He knew that with his own physique, he would be fine even if he swallowed a whole puffer fish. However, as a young man with wolfberry who has lived in the health preservation country for more than [-] years, eating raw and cold food on an empty stomach is psychologically difficult. Can't pass.

But people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, so Ji Chi can only grasp it with his hands expressionlessly, and stuff a few pieces of sashimi into his mouth-this is the standard mermaid way of eating.

The freshly caught sea fish has been carefully processed, and basically has no fishy smell. The red fish meat is sweet and crisp, and it can indeed be regarded as a delicacy for human beings.

Ji Chi didn't eat much, and when the maid looked away, she wiped her hands with a wet towel beside her.

Bud was not in the mood to enjoy the delicious food either. He hurriedly filled his stomach, packed a few more meals, and asked the innkeeper for a room.

The boss glanced at Ji Chi who was sitting quietly at the table, and asked worriedly, "Will your goods go berserk? Even if it's a female mermaid, my hotel can't bear it if it goes berserk."

Bud had already prepared: "Don't worry, I've given her the control potion, she will be very good."

The boss was skeptical, muttered a few words in a low voice, and tripled Bud's room rate.

Bud didn't get entangled in such trivial matters, he took the key, and went to the room with Ji Chi.

There are two hard cypress beds in the narrow room. The light brown sheets are rough to the touch, but clean and tasteless.

As soon as Bud entered the room, he couldn't help but sit at the end of the bed. He looked like a middle-aged dwarf in his prime, but in fact he was already an old man who was easily tired.

Ji Chi turned back and locked the door, he asked Tang again: "So how can I become a mermaid?"

There was only one person in the room. Tang quickly released the stealth state. He took out a piece of bread from the paper bag on the table and said vaguely while chewing: "Huh? Don't you know that there is a potion that can transform a person?" ethnicity."

Ji Chi became interested: "Is there such a potion?"

Whether it was in the academy or in the game, he had never heard of such a potion.

Needless to say in the college, those magicians are bald enough to recite spells all day long, and no one cares about how many potions there are.And in the game...Ji Chi thinks it's still the official fault, they control the game's funds to a certain extent - at least Ji Chi has never seen a game that refuses to exchange money for image.

Tang San ate a piece of bread in two strokes, he clapped his hands, and took out the communication array: "Let me ask, I have a friend who is a pharmacist, she often wanders around this area, and there should be a lot of stock in her hand."

The communication array was turned on, and Ji Chi and Bud couldn't hear the voice on the other side, but could only see Tang's brows getting tighter and tighter.

"What? You gave it away? Then you rush out and send it to Muvila Island. I'm in a hurry...Huh? You went to the Northland? Why is it so far away...Is there still something wrong? Ten days It's been too long!"

Ji Chi listened from the side, and found that this method didn't seem to work, and he was inexplicably thankful.

Before he sighed with feigned regret, he heard Tang say over there: "Forget it, tell me the recipe. Uh huh, fairy spring, moonlight fruit... oh, it's human beings who become mermaids, and why don't they turn into mermaids?" Want mermaid tears? Ah, let me think about it... okay, let's do this first."

Bud sat by the side and listened, feeling even more worried: "The spirit spring refiner is useful, I still have a few bottles, moonlight fruit and the like are precious, but it's not hard to find, it's just... this potion must at least be excellent. Quality, right? Then you have to find a big pharmacist."

Bud smiled wryly: "Mermaids are most afraid of flames, there are not many who are proficient in medicine, and the foreigners on Muvila Island are almost all businessmen, how can they be so lucky to meet a great pharmacist... "

Tang Wenyan laughed aloud: "Master, before I do the task next time, help me choose a mascot too?"

Bud didn't understand his endless words, so he hummed suspiciously.

Tang leaned back on the table with his chest in his arms, looking unscrupulous, but anyone who knew him well knew that the more unserious he behaved, the more tense and cautious he became.

He said to Ji Chi: "Or, is Nid Hogg's mercenary regiment fortunate enough to invite you to join? Senior Pharmacist Ji Chi?"

Ji Chi looked up at him, neither surprised nor displeased.

It was Tang Xian who apologized: "I'm sorry, I did the investigation without your consent."

Ji Chi didn't mind, because he didn't hide anything along the way: "It's okay, but I shouldn't join any organization. I don't like to live under constraints."

Tang opened his mouth to promise something, but finally put down his hand. He rested his right hand on the table and relaxed a little: "That's right, after all, you are almost forming an excellent adventure team by yourself haha."

Bud listened to them talking in a fog, and his memory was still stuck on the words of the great pharmacist: "Wait... Ji Chi? Are you the great pharmacist? Aren't you a magician!"

Ji Chi sighed, he was too tired to explain anymore.

Tang joked, "Actually...he's still a summoner."

Bud showed a skeptical expression: "How is it possible! This joke is not funny, how can a person have three occupations at the same time?"

Tang's ability to accept is very good. He rubbed his chin and looked at Ji Chi: "Well, aside from common sense, I think he knows more than these three professions."

Ji Chi curled the corner of his mouth, and finally had a sensible idea, but you can help me get rid of the magician, thank you.

Bud just thought it was ridiculous: "So the reason you want the formula is to let this guy make potions?"

Tang smiled: "Yes."

Ji Chi refused: "Sorry, I won't."

After hearing this, Bud had an expression of "I'll just say it, how can a magician know how to make potions".

Tang's smile froze, wondering: "Why, isn't there a formula?"

Ji Chi didn't speak, he couldn't tell them that he only knew the potions in the online game Demon Sword, and there were no such weird potions in his skills.

Tang thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Oh! You mean there is no material, right? It's okay, although the mermaid's tears are a bit troublesome...but I promise I will get them back for you tomorrow."

Ji Chigang wanted to say no more trouble, but according to Tang's temperament, he would definitely not give up.

Forget it, anyway, he will know when the time comes.

It was the first time that Ji Chi was so firmly believed to be a pharmacist, but he himself didn't want to admit it.

The night is getting darker, the silvery moonlight spreads on the sea, the sound of the rushing waves is regular and calm, occasionally there will be a slender and beautiful mermaid tail, flashing past the reefs on the shore.

It was a very ordinary night, but for Ana, her heart nearly jumped out of her chest.

She lowered her head and checked the small pocket of her apron. Inside was a thin iron needle and a bottle of brown medicine.

Anna closed the cloth bag, and tightened the rope tied around her wrist.

She swallowed her saliva, and sneaked towards the third floor in the dark hotel. She recited it silently many times. The beautiful mermaid lived in the fourth room near the wooden ladder.

Anna stood outside the room, leaned against the wall lightly, took a deep breath, and sang softly.

The mermaid's singing is ethereal and pure, rippling in the night, with a strong sense of comfort and sleepiness, through the thin wooden door, luring the sleeping person inside into a deeper dream.

When it was almost time, Anna stopped singing. She watched the wooden door vigilantly, and only after confirming that there was no movement inside, did she take out the iron needle and pry open the door lock.

The room was full of sleepiness, and Anna tiptoed in. The mermaid's night vision ability allowed her to see the scene inside the room well.

The mermaid lady she wanted to save was lying on the small bed inside, with her hands folded on her stomach, sleeping peacefully.

Anna swiftly and briskly tied up the sleeping dwarf with a rope, tiptoed to Ji Chi's side, and gently pushed him: "Don't pretend to be asleep, mermaids won't be hypnotized by my singing, hurry up!" Come with me."

Ji Chi opened his eyes and looked at the little maid helplessly. She had already forced him to eat several pieces of sashimi, what else do you want now?

Anna was a little anxious: "I know you don't believe me for a while, but time is running out, come with me, I will give you the potion to turn you into a human, and you can escape that terrible ritual like me."

Ji Chi still didn't move, just looked at her silently, or somewhere behind her.

Anna was taken aback for a moment, realizing something, her heart tightened, and she turned her head away abruptly.

Behind him, a young man with black hair and black eyes was leaning against the wall, looking at them with interest.

Anna's voice trembled in fright: "Who are you? Why haven't you been hypnotized by me!"

Tang tilted his head: "Oh? Is that a lullaby? No wonder it sounds nice..."

Tang sighed, leaned forward, and walked around the little maid a few times: "So you are a mermaid, no wonder you care so much about him."

"Him?" Anna was overly nervous and repeated unconsciously.

Tang Xiang sat down at the end of Jichi's bed, crossed his legs and glanced at her: "Could it be that the black cat just gave you all the transformation potions?"

Anna was stunned: "How do you know Mrs. Black Cat? Who are you?!"

Tang was not so easy to be stereotyped, and asked her instead: "How did she introduce herself to you?"

Anna looked at Tang with some vigilance: "She said she was the third slave of a slave master..."

Tang paused with a smile on his face, looked at her in disbelief, and suddenly raised his voice: "What? Slave master? How could she describe me like that? Did I do anything to them? Isn't it easy to receive six missions a year? And one The task has only been carried out for two months, adding up is equivalent to nothing!"

Ji Chi sat up from the bed and turned to look at Tang silently, do you need to think about your words again?

Anna nervously glanced at Bud who was frowning because of the noise, made a gesture of shush eagerly, and asked in a low voice, "Then you are here to save her too? Is she your wife?"

Ji Chi couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his hand to interrupt her: "What on earth gave you such an illusion?"

Anna was shocked when she heard the clear voice that clearly belonged to a teenager: "Are you a man?!"

She soon noticed Ji Chi's distinct, white and slender fingers: "Are you human?!"

Anna couldn't understand: "Why do you dress up like this? Why do you want to eat like a mermaid?"

Ji Chi smiled, you really asked four good questions.

Tang glanced at them with a smile and said, "Because we want to go to the temple, you will help us, right?"

After Anna calmed down, anger surged in her heart again. She was unwilling to stay with human beings who were full of lies, let alone help them.

She turned around and wanted to run out the door, but was stopped by the boy's calm but firm voice.

"Help us go to the temple, the reward is that there will be no more sacrifices, how about it?"

Anna was stunned. She turned her back to them and could hardly react. After a long time, she turned around and said dryly, "You said... what?"

Ji Chi: "Anyway, we're going to get rid of the guard monsters along the way. It doesn't matter if you help or not."

This indifferent sentence is more convincing than any rhetoric. Anna looked at him for a long time, and then approached him step by step, with white tears falling from the end of her eyes: "Really, really..."

Tang lunged forward, catching the tears that had condensed into pearls in mid-air, and heaved a sigh of relief.

He was still struggling with how to get the mermaid's tears. These guys have extremely high tears, and it is very rare to see mermaids cry, but tonight... Tang looked up at Anna and sighed softly.

Anna's tears kept flowing, and she wiped the corners of her eyes embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, I'm happy just listening to it, if there is such a day..."

Anna smiled with tears in her eyes: "Maybe all the mermaids will regard you as a god."

Ji Chi is not at all moved by this, he has discovered that everything related to God is very troublesome.

Ji Chi took a good look at Anna: "Aren't you pretty when you turn back into a mermaid?"

Anna blushed inexplicably, she touched her face lightly and nodded: "I have changed my appearance with coral gray, but I almost became a sacrifice when I was a mermaid."

Ji Chi raised the corner of his mouth, and stretched out his hand to recommend to Tang: "Look, the ready-made one is here. Wouldn't it be perfect to let her go to the temple to set up a teleportation array?"

Tang squinted displeased: "Hey, are you still a man?"

Ji Chi retorted: "I'm a man so I think so, okay?"

Anna hesitated for a while during their quarrel, bit her lips and said: "If you can really kill monsters, it's okay for me to be a sacrifice. But this year the fifth princess is also an adult, and she is much more beautiful than me , but compared to your words..."

Anna glanced at Ji Chi's face, and blushed again: "You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen... boy, you can definitely be chosen as a sacrifice."

Hearing this, Ji Chi lay down peacefully on the bed.

Tang laughed loudly: "The next thing is to rely on your mascot, you are the best!"

As soon as the sun rose the next morning, Bud opened his sleepy eyes and got up from the bed with a frown. He kept moving his arms, thinking how could he still have back pain after a good night's sleep.

Then I saw a bundle of loose rope under my bed.

Bud was startled, and turned his head to scan the room. He was the only one in the empty room, the tables and chairs were arranged in a mess, and there were footprints of three people on the ground, all extending to the outside of the door.

The scene of a murder scene made Bud's scalp explode, and he quickly lifted the quilt and climbed out of bed.

Just as he was putting on his coat, there was a sound of footsteps at the door.

The door was pushed open, but no one came in.

Bud's eyes widened, and just as he was about to call Tang, Tang came out of the shadows with Ji Chi and a little girl.

The little girl looked familiar, as if she was the little maid from last night.

Bud couldn't understand what happened that night: "What the hell are you..."

"Ah!" Tang greeted Bud enthusiastically when he saw Bud wake up, "Master, did you sleep well after finishing? I'm sorry I forgot to untie you all the time... um——"

Bud didn't hear the scary word clearly, and asked doubtfully, "Why is she with you?"

"It's a long story." Don sighed, and he explained it to Bud in a murmur.

While they were explaining, Anna took out the remaining bottle of potion from her pocket, rubbed it reluctantly, and handed it to Ji Chi: "This is my last bottle of transforming potion, here it is, it is said that if If there is research on the finished product, the possibility of making a potion will be even greater."

Anna lowered her eyes and said softly, "I beg you, let this end."

Ji Chi glanced at the bottle of potion, pursed his lips, and just wanted to tell me it was useless, I can't make potion without skills.

However, he didn't know if it was because of looking at it for a long time, but he found that there were many elements in that bottle of potion, which were entangled and interacted in a special sequence.
