Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"Elena?"

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 180 Chapter Elena's damaged talent

"Yeah, although she is not considered a genius for the main temple, Elena is already one of the best geniuses here. The head of the Water Temple at that time was planning to recommend her to the main temple after the extermination operation was completed... Unfortunately, who would have thought that Elena would damage her foundation in order to protect everyone."

Faith comes from the spirit, and talent comes from the body. No matter what kind of power it is, it needs a carrier. Elena's talent was damaged because she overused divine arts that exceeded the limit of her body. After all, whether it is gentle divine arts or violent magic, they are essentially power and are not naturally compatible with the human body. When this power exceeds the limit of the body, it will naturally cause great burden and damage to the body. It was because of this that Elena was injured.

"Healing has its limits. For someone like Elena whose foundation is damaged, the branch temples have no way to help. Only the main temple has the ability, and that is the main temple's Fountain of Life." Elena sighed helplessly. "But Your Majesty, you also know that the Fountain of Life in the Water Temple is very precious. There are not many in a year. Even the Water Temple cannot give it easily. So the Water Temple can only give Elena a position as a branch temple leader as compensation, and healed her body, but there is nothing they can do about her talent."

After hearing what Aina said, Kato Megumi understood a little.

"After all, Elena is not a true genius. Even if she recovers, she will not be as good as the real seeds of the main temple. The cost of treating her is not worth it at all, so Elena can only accept it..."

"Yeah, Elena targeted the secondary temple because she was angry, and on the other hand, she wanted to find a way to get to the main temple and didn't want to give up, so she did this..."

Speaking of this, Ina felt a little helpless. Although she could empathize with the other party, she was really depressing because the other party was targeting her.

The former priest has to bear the consequences of his misfortune.

"That's a bit difficult. I originally wanted to cooperate with the other party."

"cooperate?"

Aina's face was full of confusion. Is there any cooperation needed with the Water Temple?

"Hmm..." Kato Hui nodded gently, "You also know that it is not easy for the temple to gain faith, unless you can impress people with what they really want in their hearts."

"For civilians, food is the most important thing that impresses them, and we happen to have high-yield seeds in our hands. If we spread them, then the faith will surely come in an endless stream." Kato Megumi paused, "When the most basic food source for civilians comes from the gift of the temple, as they plant and enjoy delicious and colorful food day after day, their gratitude to the temple will continue to deepen, and their faith will become stronger and stronger."

When she said this, Kato Megumi frowned.

"But you also know that too much is as bad as too little. If this thing is only popularized in the dilapidated Earth Mother Temple here, regardless of whether people believe it or not, there will surely be many obstacles in the process, and we don't have enough manpower to deal with them. At this time, we need an ally."

"You mean the Water Temple?"

Aina asked.

"Well... I really want the Water Temple to have a foothold in this city. We have a lot of people under our command and a high level of credibility. The union of the two temples will allow us to give up some of our interests. Obviously, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and it can also promote the relationship between the two temples. This was my original plan."

"And I also discovered that the seeds that were spawned seem to have some drawbacks. In order to germinate and grow, they must be nurtured with magic or divine arts. This means that the seeds have become dependent on high-energy environments, which is not a good sign. So I want to cooperate with the Water Temple and ask them to popularize these seeds with us so that we can share the fame and faith we gain. When the time comes, they can send people to help the seeds in the fields of civilians be nurtured with magic. Then, as the seeds are sown season after season, the number of nurturing times will gradually decrease, and they can get rid of the side effect of relying on magic to germinate."

Speaking of this, Kato Megumi sighed in distress.

"Who would have thought that it was because of this that Elena's foundation was damaged. The hatred of blocking the way is irreconcilable... I really can't think of any good way to make the other party cooperate with us."

【Ah~ Who said there is no solution? 】

Suddenly, there was a warm breath in my ears.

"Ms. Witch!?"

Startled by Patchouli's sudden voice, Kato Megumi spoke subconsciously.

"Hmm? Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? What witch lady? Is there anyone else here?"

Aina looked confused. It seemed like the saint was frightened by something and the tips of her ears were red.

"No, it's nothing. I'll think about it. You can go do your thing first..."

"Okay, Your Majesty..."

Although she didn't know why the saint wanted to send her away so quickly, Aina didn't think much about it. She bowed and left.

Perhaps Your Majesty wants to calm down and think about what to do.

Thinking of this, Aina felt full of motivation. Since the saint cared so much about the temple, why couldn't she work harder?

Kato Huike didn't know what Ina was thinking. Seeing her leave, she pursed her lips and turned her gaze to Patchouli with burning eyes.

"Ms. Witch!! I hope you won't speak so suddenly next time and scare people."

Seeing Kato Megumi's dissatisfied and angry expression, Patchouli relaxed her brows.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect to scare you... I didn't mean to..."

In fact, I did it on purpose... to avenge the previous finger-fight, but... I'd better pretend that I didn't do it on purpose! Otherwise, it would be bad to anger the little girl.

After all, I am a noble witch, how can I be so petty...

So let her irrational behavior go! After all, she is the human being you like.

Patchouli thought so in her heart, and felt that she had indeed become kind and generous, but she did not consider at all that she had retaliated and teased the little girl.

"Really? You're not trying to take revenge on me, are you?"

Kato Megumi looked at Patchouli with a suspicious gaze, but she raised her eyebrows and tilted her head to look at her, as if she didn't know what she was talking about.

"Ok?"

"Um... nothing, I was just thinking wrong."

Kato Megumi looked conflicted, but then she remembered something and relaxed.

"What method did you just mention? I just heard you say that you seem to have a way to treat Elena?"

"Well... I guess so!" Kato Megumi stroked her hair indifferently, then led the way in the air, "Come with me..."

Hmm? What is Miss Witch going to do?

Although she didn't know what the other party was going to do, she still followed him obediently until they arrived at a familiar courtyard.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 181 Chapter The Fruit That Can Repair Talent

“Is this the garden where I plant tea trees?”

"Hmm... yes, didn't you want me to see what's so special about this tea tree that allows you to use the power of rules?"

"Well...that's right."

Although he didn't understand, Miss Witch was knowledgeable, so Kato Megumi asked her to come and see what the use of this tea tree was.

Is it...

Seeing Kato Megumi's expression, Patchouli knew that the other party had thought of it as well, so she didn't keep her in suspense and said it directly.

"Well... it's just as you thought. I looked at the fruit of this tea tree. It has a very strong vitality. It can not only increase talents, but also repair damaged bodies." Patchouli narrowed her eyes and then tilted her head and said, "The priest's talent comes from the body, right? If so, this fruit can completely heal her damaged body."

After hearing what Miss Witch said, Kato Megumi still found it a little hard to believe that the tea tree she grew had such power.

In fact, the fruits of this special tea tree had been ripe a few days ago. However, seeing that the fruits had no obvious changes in size or increase in magic power, and were still being nurtured by the tea tree, Kato Megumi did not pick them.

However, who would have thought that such a fruit could restore talent? You know, if the foundation is damaged, it can only be repaired by a genius treasure. Doesn't this mean that by doing this unintentionally, I actually created a tea tree that can produce genius treasures?

With curiosity in her heart, Kato Megumi walked forward, picked a fruit, held it in her palm and looked at it.

There is nothing special about the fruit. The surface contains a faint magical power and is green all over, just like emerald jade.

Kato Megumi handed the fruit to Patchouli.

"Would you like to try it?"

"I don't need it. This thing has no effect on me. If you are curious, you can try it..."

Patchouli shook her head. She had eaten everything. Although this thing looked powerful, it was actually...

Seeing that Miss Witch refused, Kato Megumi didn't say anything. After all, Miss Witch had lived for so long, what had she not eaten?

How about a taste?

Kato Megumi looked at the green fruit in her hand and bit it lightly with her pearly teeth.

……

……

Kato Megumi's eyes widened instantly.

Patchouli only saw her facial expression changing like a color palette, which was quite interesting.

His cheeks were wrinkled, his face turned red, and his breathing became rapid. Even though the little guy tried hard to maintain his expression, he couldn't stop the tears from flowing from the corners of his eyes like rain.

Kato Megumi now felt extremely regretful. Why did she eat it so desperately? She should have realized this when she saw Miss Witch refuse. Now it was too late to regret. The stimulating taste was like countless super spicy peppers stuffed into her mouth. Kato Megumi felt her cheeks flushed, and she was drowned in tears and felt dizzy.

The body seemed to be ignited from the inside out, and the magic power was burning violently, as if it wanted to reduce the whole person to ashes. Everything around became blurred, and all the subtle feelings could not be smoothly transmitted to the mind.

Kato Megumi had only one feeling, and that was excitement, incomparable excitement.

It is just like taking a hot pepper bath. This stimulation is felt not only from the outside to the inside, but also from the inside to the outside. The entire senses and touch are paralyzed.

She was even so paralyzed that she couldn't control her hands, feet, or face, and couldn't even speak.

So why did she dare to taste it so desperately... She felt extremely regretful and wanted to cry but had no tears.

……

……

"Hmm~"

Seeing Kato Megumi crying with her little face as red as a red pepper, Patchouli beside her chuckled and felt very happy.

It seemed that Patchouli saw that Kato Megumi had reached her limit, so she finally took action.

Just because her fingers slid regularly in the air, the magic power from the surrounding surged in and turned into a drop of transparent water floating in front of her eyes. She flicked it lightly, and the water drop instantly rushed into Kato Megumi's forehead, and her condition visibly stabilized.

At this moment, Kato Megumi only felt her whole body was extremely hot, as if she was being roasted in a furnace. However, just when she was about to be unable to bear it, a cool feeling spread from her forehead, as if the burning flame was extinguished by a heavy rain. Countless burning and stimulation were extinguished, and her consciousness became clear.

"Little guy...what do you think?"

At first glance, Kato Megumi saw the witch lady with a sense of humor floating in front of her. She looked at her with amusement, her eyes full of interest.

Kato Megumi tried hard to maintain a smile and handed the fruit in her hand to the other person.

"Witch sister, would you like to try it? It's delicious..."

"Ah la... evil little fellow, do you think I would believe you?"

Patchouli gave Kato Megumi a slap on the face.

"Tear~"

Miss Witch is as strong as ever. It hurts so much.

Seeing Kato Megumi looking at her with an accusing and aggrieved look, Patchouli covered her mouth and smiled.

"You can't blame me for this. Who told you to eat without any preparation? What's more, the food you ate was natural treasures with special effects. Now you know how to be careful in the future! You need to be extremely cautious no matter what you do..."

"Hmm... Miss Witch clearly said that this can restore talent, there is no harm..."

pat-

"It hurts, why are you hitting me again?"

Kato Megumi covered her forehead with her hands, looking dissatisfied, but heard Patchouli say.

"Do you believe what I say? You are such a naive little fellow." Patchouli said and suddenly laughed, "You need to be vigilant in everything you do. If you just trust me blindly, then the moment I have evil intentions, you will die without knowing why."

"I trust you..." Seeing the little girl's eyes become serious, Patchouli covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Ah, I have a crush on you now."

"Well, anyway, it's common sense to check everything you put into your mouth before eating it."

Patchouli moved her fingers slightly, and the half-eaten fruit in Kato Megumi's hand floated in front of her. She explained to Kato Megumi in a serious tone.

"What is a natural treasure? You are a kind of treasure that is particularly helpful to the human body. This kind of treasure is usually born and raised by nature, and has powerful abilities, so it can be beneficial to the human body."

"Of course, since it can have a revolutionary effect on the human body, the energy contained in it is naturally unparalleled. If it is consumed directly or in an improper way, the explosive energy will surge out. Not to mention the benefits, can you survive? It's still a question."

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 182 Chapter A Treasure That Cannot Be Recreated

Patchouli simply drew a line in the air with her index finger, and a part of the skin of the fruit floating in the air was instantly cut off, revealing the flesh inside. At that moment, countless vitality burst out from the fruit.

That surging energy even caused instability in the surrounding elements. Patchouli only displayed it for a moment and then sealed it up.

"Obviously, the fruit of this tea tree has a strong but violent vitality. If you want to use it, you not only need to add a neutralizing agent to reconcile the vitality inside, but also use means to prevent the vitality inside from escaping. If you want to eat it directly, it is actually the wrong method."

As she spoke, Patchouli waved her fingers in the air, and invisible light enveloped the tea fruit. Soon, Kato Megumi grabbed with her five fingers, and the light ball instantly collapsed and floated in the palm of Patchouli's hand.

"Yes, this is the finished product..."
