Witch Monastery

Spells:

Sleight of Hand: Blade

Protection, Magic Explosion

First-level spells: create water/dry water, mage armor, shield, absorb elements.

Spell books: "Introduction to Measurement and Analyzing: Burning Hands", "Introduction to Purity: Armor of Agasis", "Introduction to Quantity Analysis: Thunder Wave", "Introduction to Silver Hair: Long Stride", "Introduction to Mihua: Healing"

This was all his achievements in the past half month. His decision to go out to the kitchen first was indeed the right one. With adequate nutritional supplements, not only did his weight grow significantly, but his physical attributes also improved a little, which was equivalent to saving one hundred purification points.

You know, it's only been half a month. If he can continue to improve at this rate, in another six months, he can eat up to 20 points...

cough!

Of course this is impossible, the resources consumed by attribute growth are not linear, and the further you go, the more difficult it will be to improve - it's not just that the stronger you become, the more nutrition you need, but more importantly, as an ordinary human, his own racial genes have largely limited his upper limit.

Being able to raise his physical attributes to 9 points through diet and earning a net of purification points made Hawthorne very satisfied.

As for higher? I guess I still have to spend purification points to buy it.

In addition to the increase in attributes, his biggest gain was that he learned a new trick and two first-level spells. Out of concern for his own safety, all the new spells he learned were protective spells.

Among them, the Trickster Blade Guard, which does not require mana consumption, can provide him with a one-time resistance to piercing, blunt, and slashing damage, so that he is no longer afraid of the enemy's sudden sneak attack.

The shield technique can instantly block fatal attacks, and from now on he no longer has to worry about being shot in the head from a long-range bow or crossbow.

The absorption of elements is specifically used to prevent elemental damage such as fire, freezing, lightning, and strong acid. When combined with the shield spell above, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to hurt him.

As a result, his current combat capability is far superior to that of ordinary people.

As for output, although he didn't learn many output spells, he was not lacking in them: the free trick magic explosion was almost as powerful as a heavy crossbow, and the spell books Heidi gave him also recorded practical low-level output spells such as "Burning Hands" and "Thunder Wave". He couldn't say that he could challenge very strong enemies, but he would definitely have no problem bullying ordinary people.

The only problem was that he had to hold these books in his hands to cast the spells on them. So from now on, he had to carry these thick and heavy magic books with him, and when fighting, he could switch his equipment at any time according to the needs of the battlefield...

It sounds ridiculous, but considering the current situation, it is a helpless move.

Perhaps, this is the pain of a non-mage spellcaster... Alas!

Looking at the system, after he had clicked on three buildings, there were still 850 purification points left. Hawthorne simulated the subsequent battle scene in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more troublesome it seemed.

Too weak...

Or, why not just upgrade to level 2 right now?

With this thought in mind, looking at his own level 1 sorcerer profession, he couldn't help but come up with a bold idea.

It only takes 2 purification points to upgrade to level 300, so I still have enough now.

Or why not just click it directly?

Normally, after being promoted to a level 2 sorcerer, he will gain another core ability of this profession: magic summoning.

In short, this is a set of alternative magic skills that can enhance the power of magic or increase its usage times: for example, "Repulsive Magic Explosion" can allow your trick "Magic Energy Explosion" to repel the enemy when it hits it; "Shadow Armor" can allow you to permanently obtain the protection of the spell "Mage Armor"; "Eye of the Rune Guardian" can make you proficient in all languages, and so on and so forth...

In the game, a warlock who is promoted to level 2 can learn two magical invocations for free and change them when leveling up.

However, reality is not a game. All the sorcerers in the game, no matter who their leader is, can choose the same spells and magic summons. At most, they have a few more special abilities at higher levels, but overall they are pretty much the same.

According to the background of the game, the sorcerer's spells and magic invocations are all granted or taught to you by the sect master according to his own abilities, so the actual situation of each sorcerer is very different.

Just like Hawthorne, when he became a sorcerer, Heidi only shared one trick and spell with him, which was far less than the two tricks and four first-level spells that a proper sorcerer should have in the game.

However, he had 1 mana points at level 4, and it could be fully restored in an hour. If other warlocks were to tell others about this, they would be so jealous that they would cry.

From this we can see that what will happen to each sorcerer after upgrading still depends on the actual situation.

According to the background description, the ability to summon magic energy can only be acquired through his own learning.

Taking this into consideration, he finally slowly removed his finger from the system interface.

Forget it, I haven't even figured out these crappy books yet. I haven't learned all the spells above yet, so I'm not in a hurry to enter the next level.

He was thinking this, however, suddenly, the system interface flashed, and then an envelope symbol appeared in the upper right corner.

Hawthorne Table

Qing was slightly surprised. He knew that this was a reminder message that players would receive when a major event was about to happen in the game.

He quickly tapped on it, and then, the thing above made his pupils suddenly shrink.

Surprisingly, so fast...

Chapter 20 Witch Night, ten days left!

At the gate of the monastery, Heidi had just returned and was walking towards the kitchen with a basket containing two fresh sea fish.

It was already getting a little dark at this moment. She had just gone out to trade with the returning fishermen and buy the freshest sea fish.

Refrigerators were far from being popular in that era, but fortunately she could use magic to freeze the two fish, ensuring that they would remain fresh for the next few days.

She walked lightly because she was in a very happy mood. The master had made a breakthrough in learning magic in the past two days, and his body had also grown significantly. She had to make persistent efforts and help him replenish his nutrition.

She walked happily and steadily, and at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Heidi, how are you doing recently?"

She turned her head and saw Die walking towards her. Something inexplicably moved under her nun's robe. Apparently, this creature thought there were no outsiders in the monastery, so she was too lazy to conjure up legs and just used her tentacles to move.

Heidi sighed inwardly and felt a little headache, feeling that she increased the risk of exposure for the other sisters.

But Die was totally unaware of this. She smiled sweetly and asked her, "How have you been lately?"

Heidi smiled and said politely, "Everything goes well, my dear sister. How are you doing recently?"

After all, the other party had just lent her a large sum of money some time ago, and Heidi knew that there must be a lot of money to be made from this witch, so for the sake of her master, she had to have a good relationship with her.

Hearing this, Die restrained her smile and sighed softly: "It's still the same. Those lost memories can never be found again. Perhaps before long, I will lose everything and can only rely on the care of all the sisters..."

The Witch of Memory will lose her memory during the Witch Night, and may also lose some of her power as a result.

In the early years, these situations were still controllable, but in recent years, the situation of butterflies has become worse and worse...

She was very scared that maybe after the next Witch Night, she would completely lose control and turn into an irrational crazy monster.

Heidi also showed a sad expression when she heard this, then walked over, put her arm around her, and comforted her: "It's okay, it won't develop to that point. You have such good relationships with people, everyone will be willing to help you."

"Besides, let's think on the bright side. There may still be more than a year before the next Witch Night, right? If we all work together, we will definitely find the most perfect solution!"

She encouraged him like this, hoping to make Die happier with these nice words. However, unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Die looked at her with a strange look in her eyes: "Heidi, you... didn't notice it?"

Heidi was stunned: "What?"

"It's... the Witch Night." Die said, "The next Witch Night should be just around the corner. It will come in a week at the least, or half a month at the most."

Just like many animals will sense something before an earthquake, many evil monsters will also feel something before the night when the double moons are high in the sky and magical power is surging.

The same is true for witches. Although they still cannot accurately sense the time of its arrival, they still have to rely on astrology, calendars, and prophecy spells to determine the exact date. But at least, they will have a sense of it about half a month to a month in advance.

In response to this, Heidi's face suddenly changed. She really had no warning and had no idea that this was going to happen!

Seeing her expression, the experienced Die immediately understood everything. So, her eyes became very sad: "I thought you borrowed money from me just to prepare for the next Witch Night, but... you didn't realize it at all?"

The method used by each witch to survive the Witch Night is an absolute secret and cannot be shared with anyone. Otherwise, once the news is leaked, it will inevitably bring disaster to oneself.

So, even though they had a pretty good relationship, Die had no idea what Heidi's method was for getting through the Witch Night.

Facing her confused look, Heidi had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain: "I've been in some other troubles recently, and I've been dealing with this matter, so I really didn't pay attention to the signs in this regard... Ah, thank you for reminding me, sister, I owe you another favor."

As she spoke, her heart was pounding. Finally, she could not help but complain, "How could this happen? It has only been half a year since the last Witch Night, and it happened again... It's too frequent!"

The intelligent beings in the material world hate the "Night of the Double Moon" because every time at this time, evil gods will cause chaos, monsters will riot, and all major forces will suffer heavy losses.

Compared to mortals, extraordinary magical creatures such as witches hate such days even more.

After all, if ordinary creatures are lucky, they can completely avoid the influence of those messy magic powers, but witches have nowhere to hide and have to bear it directly.

Their influence!

I'm afraid that only those eternally crazy demons in the bottomless abyss, the conspirators of various forces, and the evil gods with ill intentions, in short, those big figures who are extremely powerful and can influence the whole world with just a move, and who really have malicious intentions, would like such a day.

In response to this, Die also sighed: "Who knows? The movement of the stars is always like this. Before the definite omen comes, no one can guarantee when the next Witch Night will be."

As she spoke, her eyes became more worried. "Heidi, although this may not be pleasant for you to hear, based on my experience, losing the ability to sense the signs of the coming of Witch Night is likely to be a precursor to something very bad."

"So... you must take good care of yourself."

After saying this, Die turned and left with a look of sympathy and worry. Heidi swallowed silently, her heart full of worries about the future.

What's wrong with me?

Why is there no accurate sign?

Is it because of... the master?

After being purified by the master's power, my body and strength have indeed undergone many subtle changes. What will happen when I welcome the Witch Night in this state?

Well... never mind for now, let’s just follow the original strategy and prepare well!

But before that, the first thing I have to do is to take good care of my master...

Thinking of this and with a heart full of worry, Heidi put the fresh fish she bought back into the kitchen, and then walked quickly towards Hawthorne's room.

However, when she pushed open the door and walked into the room, she saw Hawthorne, who was also worried. He walked up to her quickly and grabbed her arm: "Heidi, do you know that there are still ten days... to be exact, there are still two hundred and thirty-eight hours before the 'Witch Night' that you hate the most will come?"

In response, Heidi was suddenly shocked: "Ah?!"

"I...you...how do you know so much?"

Chapter 21 Going out

Of course Hawthorne knew, after all, this was a message from the system. The time in that email was still counting down, even accurate to the second!

However, he also knew that the prediction of the arrival of Witch Night, which was accurate to the second, was too outrageous for the people of this world.

After all, even the greatest astrologers and prophet wizards in the world can only accurately predict the time of the Witch Night on a certain day, and they can't even say whether it can be accurate to the first or second half of the night!

Therefore, even though the person in front of him was the witch he trusted the most, he only spoke a few words.

But even so, it was enough to shock Heidi: "Master, how can you know so accurately? You..."

Hawthorne reached out, held her in his arms, and whispered, "This is my ability, don't panic."

Heidi relaxed her expression and stared at him blankly. After a long time, she suddenly smiled with joy.

Her arms then also wrapped around Hawthorne's waist, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Well, the master is omnipotent!"

After a pause, her voice was filled with worry and a hint of guilt: "It's just that, Master, there is something I must tell you in advance."

"During the Witch Night, my body will be very thirsty for water, my strength will be out of control, and I will attack and prey on everything around me crazily."

"So, in order to avoid hurting you and to avoid exposing my identity, I must start preparing now and hide in the deep sea to survive that night."

"During this period, I'm afraid the owner can only face these risks carefully by himself..."

Hawthorne didn't mind. He reached out and stroked her hair, saying softly, "It's okay. Just go ahead and do what you should do."

He naturally knew that Heidi needed to hide in the deep sea in order to survive the Witch Night safely.

Rather, he knew clearly about all the abnormal situations that would occur among the seven witches in the monastery on the Witch Night, as well as how to deal with them, their hiding places, etc.!

However, at the moment, he did not have the ability to exploit all of their weaknesses and subdue them all in one night, so he could only deal with the most dangerous ones first.

As he said this, he chuckled and said, "Besides, my main source of danger right now is the other witches in the monastery."

"When you all leave that night, I will be the only one left in the monastery. That will be safer."

Heidi couldn't help but smile as he said this. She nodded and said seriously, "I believe in the master. Everything will be fine!"

That night, the two fell asleep in each other's arms. And the next morning, when the first ray of bright sunshine appeared in the east, Hawthorne was also awakened by Heidi's good morning. After a pleasant morning exercise, they enjoyed breakfast together.

Heidi is trying her best to change herself. For example, now she is trying to change her human body, at least to give herself a sense of taste, and to be more like Hawthorne in various aspects.

After breakfast, Heidi prepared to leave the monastery and went outside to prepare some things she needed for the witch night.

However, at this moment, Hawthorne finally spoke up and made an additional request: "Heidi, I want to go out with you too!"

Immediately, the girl was extremely puzzled: "Why

"Master, if there is anything you want, just tell me and I will buy it for you."

"The public security in Nangang District is too bad, especially our monastery. We claim to be there to help the poor, but we are right next to the slums, so it's easy to run into gangsters..."

In response to this, Hawthorne smiled lightly: "What a coincidence, I just want to go to the slums to scout out some places and prepare for my future plans."

Seeing Heidi's surprised expression, he then reached out and gently stroked her hair, saying softly: "It's no use telling you. After all, you will lose control that night and I won't be able to help you."

"But, if this trip goes smoothly..."

As he said this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Yuta, you are no longer a threat to us!"
