Cornflower Witch

Chapter 221 The Enchanting Alchemist

In the world of the film, at the 'Wonderland' base.

Trees of varying heights are scattered across the plain. Their trunks and leaves are of different colors, some like pink and white candies, others like black roses. Their diverse shapes create a whimsical fairytale feel, as if they have broken free from the constraints of nature and are simply following its own will.

Hidden among the trees of the field are several towers and houses of varying sizes. The exterior and roof of this building, like the trees outside, are colorful and novel.

This is the stronghold of the 'Rainbow Glass Bottle' organization, a well-known alchemist faction in the woodlands.

A pale pink bird glided lightly across the branches and landed on a balcony.

Its little orange feet hopped lightly, it tilted its head to look at the still-closed door, then jumped onto the doorknob and knocked.

"Okay~" a lazy voice came from inside the house.

About ten minutes later, a beautiful figure with blonde hair, wearing pajamas, opened the door and came out onto the balcony.

She reached out and took the little bird, then leaned back in the chair on the balcony, yawning as she removed the tiny gem from the bird's foot.

Holding the gem in his hand, he instinctively inputted his spiritual power to unlock the seal inside. Then, a line of silver text appeared in the air, slowly dissipating.

"Ha~~" She stretched her body and yawned as she looked at the text.

"So I was assigned a mission, to help make glass in Lantern Town. What kind of place is that? I've never even heard of it." After she finished speaking, she continued to lean back in her chair and sleep, her full chest rising and falling slightly.

She didn't wake up again until the sun came directly overhead and shone brightly on her face.

The pink bird continued to hop on her, pawing at her, reminding her that she hadn't replied yet.

"Okay, okay, I got it. It's just going to Dark Mist Mountains to provide support. Remember to give me triple contribution points, otherwise I don't want to do anything."

She picked up the gem again, imprinted lines of golden text onto it, and then sealed it using a special secret method, reattaching the gem to the bird's toe.

The pink bird leaped up, pecked at the woman's forehead, then deftly dodged her hand, flew into the air, and quickly disappeared.

"This guy is taking me less and less seriously." After grumbling for a moment, she went back into the house.

……

Three weeks later, in the Dark Mist Mountains, in the Black Lion Wilderness.

A blonde woman lay on a haystack of the accompanying carriage, looking at the rolling clouds above her head. Beside her was a large, gold-red hat, and the side of her skirt was daringly slit, revealing her ample black stockings. A delicate, fine gold chain hung from her waist, with several small square pendants hanging from it.

Facing the swirling sky above her, she raised her finger, several gems of different colors held between her fingers, shimmering with different lights.

Then the gems floated up, shimmering and changing shape as they combined. Finally, an exquisite spiked crystal pendant appeared in the air, its crystals radiating outwards and rotating counterclockwise, gradually changing from orange to deep purple.

In about half a day, a special alchemical artifact of quality 'third rank' or higher appeared and fell into her hands.

;

Lantern Town, third floor of the mansion.

Hiltiya was sitting by the window dealing with town affairs. Occasionally, a breeze would rustle through the branches of the trees outside the window, stirring the pages of the books on the table.

"Senior Tia." A relatively young woman strode up the stairs and walked to the office where Hiltia was.

"What is it?" The girl looked up, tilting her head slightly to the side, peeking out from among the pile of books and pages.

"The convoy transporting supplies has arrived."

"Ah."

"They brought a lot of things this time, and an alchemist also came, saying he wants to see you."

"Who is she to see me?" Hiltiya asked, slightly surprised.

"Yes, she seems very capable. She is said to be a genius alchemist from the 'Rainbow Glass Bottle'."

"A genius alchemist," the girl thought to herself, noting how confident the other person was. "Okay, I'll be right there." She quickened her pace, finished processing the documents in front of her, and then stood up.

A few minutes later, in a restaurant in the town, Siltia met the 'genius alchemist' who was sitting at the table, legs crossed, eating ice cream.

"Hello, I am Siltia." The girl came up to her.

"Oh, hello, hello~" She licked the ice cream on the tip of her tongue, looking like she was infatuated with its taste.

After taking a bite of the scoop of ice cream, the young and alluring alchemist turned her attention to introducing herself.

“My name is Dorothy, and I come from the ‘Rainbow Glass Bottle.’ I heard that you needed a skilled alchemist, so I came here.”

“My current rank is ‘Third-Tier · Radiant Moon’. I have mastered 314 material conversion formulas and 17 high-level material preparation techniques. I can cast six core gem spells. Unless it’s something too ancient, I can sort it out for you. If you give me enough resources, making a few exquisite ‘Fourth-Tier’ artifacts for you is not a big problem.”

After saying that, she stood up, looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her, rested her chin on the top of Hilti's head, and then hugged her.

"Wow, you're so cute. I knew I didn't make a mistake coming here, hehe."

Hilti is actually not short, about 165 cm tall, but the beautiful blonde figure in front of her looks about 178 cm tall and has a slender and attractive figure.

With her hands pushing aside Dorothy in front of her, Siltiah shook her silver hair and took a few steps back.

"Don't be so intimate yet." She wasn't used to being hugged so suddenly.

"Oh dear, are you shy? But you look good even like this." Dorothy wagged her finger, one eye blinking mischievously.

Is this guy really that outgoing? Shiltia thought to herself.

Turning her head to one side, refusing to look at Dorothy's twinkling eyes, Hilti explained her recent situation.

"...Oh, I get it. You want me to make more high-grade glass to withstand storms, and then use it to grow flowers, right?" She understood immediately.

“No problem. Although I don’t make much Glass Spirit Liquid, I’ve studied at the Six-Part Glass School before, and one of my good friends taught me a lot of tricks. As long as you can provide me with enough materials.”

After speaking, she stretched her body and looked around.

"The restaurant here is great. I had some really delicious ice cream today. From now on, if you want me to work, Tia has to give me an ice cream every day!"

"Just ice cream?" Hiltia tilted her head.

"Of course, there are also the association's contribution points, but with the extra reward of ice cream, I'll do even better~☆"

“Okay, I understand.” Hiltiya nodded.

"Hmm, by the way, where is my accommodation? It needs to be in a high place, I hate bugs, the view needs to be good, the lighting needs to be good, there needs to be a balcony so I can take a nap, oh right, and there also needs to be a big bathroom for showering..."

Once she started talking, it seemed like she couldn't stop, and the students accompanying Hilti were getting a headache listening to her.

"I understand." After the other party finished speaking, Hilti nodded and agreed immediately.

"Really? Are you sure you've remembered my request?" Dorothy looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her.

"Of course I remember." Hiltiya shook her head slightly, wondering if the other party was underestimating her.

"You require a place on the third floor or higher, away from bugs, with a south-facing balcony, a quiet environment, and a private bathroom..." Hiltiya explained each requirement to her, perfectly summarizing Dorothy's rambling demands that had been going on for several minutes.

"Wow, what a smart kid! It'll definitely be easier to get along with him from now on." Dorothy's satisfaction with this task increased once again.

After saying that, she picked up Siltia again and tried to lift the girl up, but the silver-haired girl easily dodged her.

"I told you, don't suddenly hug me." The girl retorted irritably, lightly tapping her toes and jumping out of Dorothy's range.

Afterwards, amidst laughter and conversation, the two, who had just met, gradually became acquainted.
