Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

The topic had strayed a bit off topic, and after casually discussing with the two about how to deal with evil spirits, the work of organizing and searching the basement had been completed.

It can't be said to be time-consuming, because there is not much to do. After all, the evil demon is dead, and all we have to do is transport the bones out, search for the evil demon's power, items, etc., and then deal with and publicize the matter afterwards.

By the time the three came out of the basement, the investigation outside was almost complete.

Although the evil demons were dead, some escapees were found during the investigation. After investigation by clergy, some nobles and servants were found to have signs of infestation by evil demons.

However, these traces were not too heavy, perhaps because the other party was too cautious, so they did not make a big fuss and expose their own aura. After all, unlike the city lord who was low-key, other people had to walk outside frequently. If their aura was sensed by the clergy, it would be a big trouble. Therefore, these traces were basically disappearing because of the death of the evil demon.

When the demonic aura was detected, these people panicked for a while, but the temple did not make things difficult for them. After carefully telling them that it was okay, they performed a baptism of holy light one by one, and only then did these people feel relieved.

"I didn't expect this soul demon to be so energetic. This is beyond my expectation..."

The leader was surprised.

"After all, I have heard of this ancient soul demon. It is invisible and intangible, and it is impossible to guard against it. If you are not careful, you will be fooled. Logically, it should be very powerful. How can it have only this little ability..."

Invisible and intangible?

Kato Hui's ears immediately perked up. The soul demon mentioned by the garrison leader seemed to be a little different from what she saw...

Kato Hui blinked, somewhat puzzled. If it was the invisible and intangible thing the leader had mentioned, then why could she not only see it but also grasp it? She could still vaguely feel the touch of her palm, but it didn't feel good. It was like pinching a dough full of tiny glass shards, sticky and painful.

Before Kato Megumi could think of anything, Elena on the side said disapprovingly.

"Since this soul demon is so cautious, it may just mean that it doesn't have great power! Ancient magicians were not as powerful as the legends say, and they could turn the world upside down and split mountains and shatter rocks. But with the fall of the inheritance, today's magicians have long lost their former glory. We don't know whether it's true or not."

At this point, Elena sighed, as if she was pitying the decline of magic.

"Legends are just legends. We haven't actually seen it with our own eyes. Since the Saint can get rid of the Soul Demon, we can only say that it has been exaggerated from ancient times to the present. It's nothing special."

Hearing Elena say this, the team leader was stunned, then nodded in sudden realization.

"Priest, you are right, it's just that the rumors are exaggerated."

Hearing Elena's explanation, Kato Hui frowned slightly.

Although what Elena said made sense, she always felt that something was wrong. Judging from her fighting experience, the soul demon was indeed extremely powerful. If it weren't for her strong mental strength, she would have fallen into the opponent's trap long ago.

Although he didn't know why he could see the other party's true identity, but when he thought about the nebula in his spiritual sea, the power that could restrain the other party, Kato Hui had a sense of understanding.

I guess all this is the power of the nebula!

However, since the Soul Demon is dead, there is no need to mention these things. After all, they are over.

Things have been almost dealt with, and the next issue is about the acting city lord. After all, the death of a city lord will have a significant impact on the stability of the city.

Generally speaking, if a city lord dies in an accident, the local temple has the right to appoint a new temporary city lord, so the matter falls on the Temple of Mother Earth and the Temple of Water.

Normally, there is only one temple in a place, so this matter basically only needs to be handled by the local temple. However, it is different in the city of Loha. The Temple of the Earth Mother and the Temple of Water are both stationed here, and the Temple of the Earth Mother has been gaining momentum recently, so this problem is a bit troublesome.

However, Kato Megumi is the saint of the Temple of Mother Earth and has a say in this matter. In addition, the two temples have reconciled and are considered to have common interests. Elena knows the city of Loha inside and out, and Anna must have no interest in such things. Therefore, Kato Megumi has no intention of getting involved in this matter, so she left it to Elena to discuss with the leader of the garrison.

She and Alyssa left the City Lord's Mansion and returned to the villa.

Returning to the bedroom, Kato Megumi breathed a sigh of relief.

She seemed like a wage earner who worked overtime until the early morning. She dragged her tired body and lay on her back on the soft big bed. Then she turned her head, rubbed the soft pillow hard, and let out a long sigh.

Then, Kato Megumi seemed to have thought of something, and she quickly propped herself up, tidied herself up, and tried to appear elegant and intellectual.

"Miss Witch, are you there?"

Kato Megumi called out softly tentatively. She was expecting, expecting that she was just talking to herself at this moment, but contrary to her expectation, Patchouli responded.

"Little guy, I saw it!"

A clear, bell-like voice suddenly appeared in the room, and a familiar, small, three-inch figure appeared in front of her. Sitting on a book the size of a fingernail, her white bare feet swayed in a purple nightgown, her small, round toes slightly curled up, as cute as a small steamed bun; her purple hair draped over her shoulders, and a pair of crystal clear purple eyes staring at her intently.

Kato Megumi's cheeks suddenly turned red. She didn't expect that the witch lady saw her unruly appearance. She actually forgot that the witch lady was still there.

Seeing the witch lady looking at her like this, Kato Megumi asked with a flushed face, pretending to be ignorant.

"Ah? What did you see?"

"Hmm? What did you see?"

Kato Megumi smiled.

"I saw a cute little smart-aleck."

Seeing Patchouli say this, Kato Megumi widened her eyes and asked in confusion.

"Eh? No where, why didn't I see it?"

Seeing Kato Megumi acting like this, Patchouli approached Kato Megumi with a smile on her face, and while she was looking at her in confusion, she leaned close to her ear.

With warm breath caressing the ears.

"Hmm? Of course it's here..."

After being blown by Patchouli, Kato Megumi's body suddenly stiffened. Seeing this, Kato Megumi pursed her lips and smiled, which made Kato Megumi complain.

"You only know how to bully me. Alas... Hui is such a poor child. Not only does she have to face the teasing and oppression of the witch lady, but she also has to face the unknown enemies."

Kato Megumi glanced at Kato Megumi, pretending to be pitiful, and shook her head in self-pity.

"Emily is so pitiful, yet a certain witch still bullies him like this. She is truly the most pitiful person in the world."

"Ah? I didn't see the poor fellow. I only saw a smart-aleck fool who was almost tricked into a pit."

Kato Megumi clicked her tongue and shook her head, flicking her fingers lightly.

"pat"

A slap in the face hit Kato Megumi's head from a distance.

"Ah! So you were there! Why didn't you remind me? I'm a little angry."

Kato Megumi covered her head with her hands and pouted with a look of dissatisfaction.

I thought the witch lady was blocked by the barrier and didn't hear my call for help. Who would have thought that she had been by my side the whole time, watching me rushing around like a fool.

"Do you think you are a baby? Am I your nanny? Do you need me to remind you all the time no matter what happens~"

"pat"

Another loud slap came from the air and hit Kato Megumi's head.

Kato Megumi complained with a look of grievance on her face.

"Then you should at least warn them when you are around them! Aren't you afraid that if Hui doesn't beat those two people, the only human being in the world who can communicate with you will disappear. That would be such a pity."

"Because of Hui's death, the friendship between witches and humans has ended before it even began. What a loss this is to humanity and society. Miss Witch has also lost a lot of fun. Your investment has been in vain."

Hearing Kato Megumi say this, Patchouli almost rolled her eyes, but fortunately she maintained her ladylike elegance and did not do anything indecent.

"Slap"!

"Snap!"

"Snap!"

Three consecutive slaps rang out, and Patchouli maintained her ladylike elegance, but she was still angry, so Kato Megumi had to endure the suffering that she shouldn't have to endure at this age alone, and she endured three slaps in a row.

So the law of cause and effect goes on, do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. The slap in the face she gave to the people around her was eventually returned to her.

"It's been a while since we last met. You seem to be more eloquent now, huh?"

"Eh? Really? Hui Ke is the best."

With mist in her eyes, Kato Megumi blinked obediently.

"Hmm? Then... why is such a good kid asking questions that he already knows the answers to... You know what I mean... "

Patchouli's voice suddenly became serious.

"If anything happens to you, I will help you, but..."

Although the witch lady didn't finish her words, Kato Megumi understood what she meant.

She knew why Miss Witch didn't come out and remind her, because this was her own battle, her own life. If she relied on Miss Witch for everything, then what bright future would she have?

But knowing is one thing, doing is another.

After all, he and Miss Witch are just investors and the invested, and they shouldn't ask too much from each other. This is a rational idea, but emotionally, Kato Megumi regards the other party as a friend. When encountering danger, the other party did not remind himself and allowed himself to fall into danger. Even if he escaped by luck, he would still feel a little resentful in his heart.

Why didn’t you save yourself? Why didn’t you remind yourself? What if you hadn’t escaped at that time? These emotions.

It’s not that Kato Megumi is selfish, it’s just that Kato Megumi is afraid that the other party hates her, so she just stands by and watches.

Fortunately, the other party is not like this, but the other party also illustrates the witch's coldness and rationality.

Even though Miss Witch and I were friends who could tease each other, we were essentially two individuals with shared interests.

She is the investee and the other party is the investor. Even if the two are friends now, once she is no longer worthy of being invested, or the future is uncertain, Kato Megumi believes that what awaits her will be cold abandonment.

For example, in the previous battle, if I failed, the other party would indeed save my life because of the time they had spent together, but I guess this friendship would eventually come to an end.

"What if Hui didn't escape before? What would Miss Witch do?"

"I will rescue you. After all, we are friends. You are my first human friend..."

Kato Megumi swung her legs in thought and spoke at the same time.

"But I'm afraid our contract will end here. After all, if you can't even get through such a small thing, how can we continue our friendship?"

Sure enough, Kato Megumi smiled bitterly.

Miss Witch is such a rational witch.

Kato Megumi actually saw it clearly. It was better to say that the other party had no emotions. Witches do have emotions, and the friendship between the two was like that. However, compared with humans, it was too weak.

Kato Megumi thought that maybe it was not enough. Compared with the witch's long life, the time of this friendship was really insignificant.

But what Miss Witch said was right. The gap between her and the other party was like that between an elephant and an ant.

The elephant may communicate with the ant by chance, pay attention to it, and become friends with it. But the elephant is the elephant and the ant is the ant. The two are unequal and can never communicate with each other for a long time. Whether in terms of strength or knowledge, the two cannot be compared at all.

Only when the ant grows to be as big as an elephant, or has such qualifications, can the two have the same power and knowledge to communicate, and the relationship can last a long time. Kato Megumi understands this.

However, when she actually heard the other party's ruthless response, Kato Megumi still felt a little disappointed.

"I'm very sad, Miss Witch..."

"Yeah... I know, so you have to work hard."

Looking at Kato Megumi's lost expression, Patchouli tilted her head and thought for a while, then touched her head with her little hand.

"You did a great job this time. I saw it all. Although to me you are just a clown and can disappear at the thought, it's different for someone of your level."

"Pfft, I didn't expect you, Miss Witch, to be such a boaster."

Kato Megumi chuckled.

"You fought for a long time the last time. If you could destroy him with just a thought, why did you fight for so long?"

"Are you talking about the power of your true self? If so, then I can believe you."

Kato Megumi curved her eyebrows and said with a smile.

Patchouli didn't explain, but just pulled her hair with one hand and frowned with some dissatisfaction.

"It's not that I can't do it here. I just didn't know the situation and magic system here at the time, so I was quite cautious and only used the most basic apprentice magic. Who would have thought that the magicians here were so disgusting? If I used proper magic, although I couldn't destroy them in one thought, one move would be enough to kill the enemy."

"Ah! Really?!"

Kato Megumi was surprised. She knew that Miss Witch would not lie. You know, Miss Witch's spirit body here is only one percent of her own strength. But she didn't expect that even one percent of the power could kill the powerful evil demon in seconds. You know, this is not comparable to her secret attack and killing of the seriously injured evil demon. That was the evil demon in his prime, and they were facing each other head-on. How much power does it take to kill it in one move? Is the magic in this world really so unsightly?

Kato Megumi thought about it in her mind and frowned unconsciously, because she really couldn't figure out what kind of power could achieve victory in one move.

She couldn't help but ask.

"But how powerful is a force? A fireball as big as a mountain? If that's the case, it can indeed destroy the opponent."

"Fireball?"

Patchouli looked at Kato Megumi with surprise.

"Why do you think a fireball is needed to have such great power?"
