Witch, don't be so lazy

Are all low-level people unable to escape?

What is the origin of the Sixth Seat? Is this her ability, or is there some other reason why she is like this?

An Ke felt that countless confusions were emerging in her heart, but she couldn't get the answers now, and she might not even be able to maintain these confusions for a long time.

"Respected Master Mage, the brochures displayed on the wall outside can help you quickly understand the North and Black Rock City, including the several Lords of the High Tower Council. Of course, if you need a personal explanation, we can also provide services, but it will be charged separately."

The staff member smiled enthusiastically, "Or would you like to take a look at the merchandise here? Elite mages are 30% off."

First-level official, second-level elite, third-level great wizard, fourth-level extraordinary... In the training received by those staff members, they seem to deliberately avoid descriptions with numbers and replace them with more honorable-sounding terms, which is very professional.

"No, thanks."

Ms. Anke chose "Save 100% if you don't buy." She is no longer interested in gadgets, and there is no need for a solo explanation, as she won't get the information she wants.

She was only going to an exhibition hall inside. The sculpture hall was more than just the entrance, and the direction indicated by the "Boating Mark" was further inside.

Not a moment.

An Ke was standing in the corridor scratching her head, while the staff next to her kindly introduced:

"This is an exhibition designed by His Majesty the Almighty. For optimal viewing, each person has their own room. You can choose any one. The content is the same, but it costs twenty gold coins."

An Ke hesitated for a moment, not because she was worried about the small amount of money, but mainly because she wanted to give it a try. "Okay, then I'll choose this one."

The mark was fifth from the left, but she chose second from the right.

The moment he walked in, An Ke knew the test results were out.

The entrance really moves with people, following wherever they go, which shows that the "Boat Mark" is smarter and more reliable than imagined.

As for the exhibits in the room, Anke glanced at them, not knowing what expression to show.

Almost all of them are "artistic photos" of His Majesty Qina.

Those knights in armor, pirates, hunters, and priests are indeed quite handsome, and those in women's clothing also make people praise, "Whose beautiful lady is this?" The circus clowns, blacksmiths, farmers, etc. seem very approachable, but as for those "ghost pictures" with blackened skin, fish heads and stockings, etc., Encore can only wholeheartedly agree that they are worthy of being legends, but they are still too advanced.

In order to avoid hurting his eyes, Anke walked quickly towards the wall.

Although it looked like there was nothing there, as soon as I got closer and the pendant felt warm, a familiar feeling came over me.

Teleport!

······

Demiplane, [Ship of the Other World].

The room Anko was assigned to, Cabin 12 on the left, was still the same, with a large blank area.

however.

There were subtle changes between the guide Bran No. 6 and the venue.

First, a light and shadow is projected in front of the small ball, with a series of functions listed on it.

[The mission has been completed, the space scheduling authority has been opened, and the upgrade authority has been developed]

[Magic Power Concentration Limit: 1, can be increased], [Potion Workbench: To be unlocked], [Spell Rune Workbench: To be unlocked], [Alchemy Workbench: To be unlocked], [Animal Paradise: Unlocked], [Herb Field: To be unlocked], [Training Ground: To be unlocked]...

A large number of patterns and texts appeared in the light and shadow, which dazzled An Ke. The number of functions and items provided made people wonder if the Winter Magic Chamber of Commerce had been moved here.

But think about it, this is the demiplane where the legend is after all. Don't doubt the wealth a legend holds and the resources he can mobilize.

What's more, Bran No. 6 has already introduced that this half plane has been funded by the Golden Witch, so how can we expect that there will be no shortage of things.

The only problem is——

"How do I unlock these things? Do I have to complete quests one by one? Or do I have to spend extra money?"

Anke stared at the small circle warily.

Although she doesn't hate spending time completing tasks, she gets easily bored when dealing with so many messy things. It's like playing a game. Maybe at first she's interested in wandering around and clearing out exclamation marks, but later she doesn't want to touch it anymore.

If that were the case, it would be better to focus on improving skills and just look for venues and equipment outside. She didn't believe that the Tower Academy didn't have these infrastructures.

"No need. Once you complete the next mission, you will unlock all the venues. You can freely arrange and recycle them, and the magic concentration will automatically increase."

The little ball calmly said, "As a friendly reminder, each venue must reach level 'two' to be on par with the High Tower Academy's dedicated areas. We recommend completing the last two stages of the mission as soon as possible to save credits at the academy."

"Oh."

An Ke blinked her eyes. She was quite satisfied that she didn't have to deal with all those miscellaneous things. It would be great if she could increase the concentration of magic power now.

Although the current "level one" is comparable to the meditation room provided by the Adventurer's Guild of Asda City for mages, it is still not as good as the City Lord's Mansion of the Lord of Kunda City.

Of course, to be honest, for a mage, whether casting spells or meditating, the higher the magic concentration, the better. Because when they gather too much, they will naturally become active. Once it exceeds the range of the mage's control, the so-called "activity" will become "violent". The key is to be suitable and find the most efficient point.

However, the "scope of control" here is mainly related to the "quality of meditation", "meditation attainments" and "soul strength". Regarding these three, An Ke feels that even compared with those geniuses, he is not that weak.

The higher the magic concentration, the better. Don't underestimate Miss Anke's patience!

Strange thoughts flashed through her mind, but she asked very naturally:

"Then what is the next mission that His Majesty Qina has given me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bran No. 6 gave the answer, there were three in total.

[Successfully join the Watch Society and the Enlightenment Society - Increase magic concentration and unlock all venues]

[Complete at least six professional courses and receive an "Excellent" grade within the first academic year - any magic book]

[Tower Rising Star - Choose any photo of Master China, with autograph included! ! !]

I was stunned for a while.

As An Ke looked at the next stage of the task, he felt as if many small question marks appeared on his mind.

After hesitating for a moment, she tried to ask the ball:

"Both the Watch Society and the Enlightenment Society are organizations of the Tower Academy that are primarily composed of His Majesty Qina's followers?"

"According to records, the former was the school that Master Qina attended when he was a student. He became the president in the seventh year of the Cornerstone School. His mentor was the late fourth-level Chaos School mage, Fiennes. Currently, they are indeed mainly composed of Master Qina's followers and are part of the talent pool for the Overwatch Corps."

Bro No. 6's calm voice flowed through the air, "Lord China also participated in the latter, but there are no further records. It's possible that it was part of the more secretive Overwatch Corps reserve."

······So that’s how it is?

An Ke scratched his head. It was so strange that he kept it secret even from his assistant in his own half dimension. Or was it that he simply didn't want to tell him?

"What is the magic book then?"

An Ke asked again.

"Master Qina has created these props using special techniques, drawing on the inheritance methods of the Old Empire. Each book contains a complete and systematic path to magical cultivation. Perfect understanding can meet the requirements for advancement to the fourth level."

······It sounds like a fourth-level inheritance, just like the great hero Sutur?

Anko blinked. "That Tower Rising Star? Sounds like some kind of honorary nickname."

"Enter the Tower Academy's Hall of Fame to earn the 'Tower Rising Star'."

Bran's answer is very understandable.

Although there was no further explanation, Anke immediately figured out the true meaning of these tasks. After all, the omnipotent person had already expressed his attitude very directly.

The first thing is to join the association. No matter whether it is difficult for other students to join, she will definitely face some difficulties. This is probably the most basic test.

There is nothing much to say about completing homework and getting good grades. It proves that you have potential and learning ability, and you will naturally be appreciated.

As for the Hall of Fame, although the reward for the last one is so abstract, if you think about it from another perspective, doesn't this mean accepting her? It is estimated that her status as the successor will be confirmed from now on.

only.

Encore was about to ask what the requirements were for entering the Hall of Fame, but then he noticed the guiding ball flashing:

"Someone from the outside world is looking for you. A nameplate has been detected. It's the admissions officer from the three High Tower Academy."

"..."

Anke was silent for a moment.

He glanced down at the stone sculpture in his hand, which Momo had given him not long ago.

Yes.

Come to think of it, I didn't seem to tell her that by going to Black Rock City, I could enter the demiplane of the "Almighty Man".

Therefore, from Momo's perspective, it was almost like the child she had brought up with great effort. She had just reminded the child not to do anything stupid or run around, and then in the blink of an eye, the child was gone, right on her own territory.

It's simply a ghost story.

Anke also thought it was a ghost story.

Not only does it confirm her bad reputation of running around, but it is also likely to cause her to be ravaged by Momo. I hope that the evil Momo will still only use the windmill combo, which can at most escalate to tickling, and not resort to some terrible means like spanking.

Miss Anke is no longer a child of twelve or thirteen. She has grown up. It would be very embarrassing and weird for her to be treated like that!!!

No matter what.

When she left the [Boat of the Other World], the first thing that caught her eye was Momo in the form of crossed hands, with her eyebrows raised high. Although she had cute baby fat on her face, she looked a little scary.

It seems to be similar to the resonance and rampage we had before.

What's even more terrifying is that Xiao Hui, who had bravely tried to stop Momo at that time, now just stands by and watches, expressing "I can't help you" and "You asked for it" with his expression and eyes.

An Ke could only bite the bullet and prepare to explain: "Sister Momo, actually..."

Unfortunately, sophistry has never had any effect on Momo. Neither her outrageous intuition nor her extraordinary ability to act can restrain the little Mammon.

then.

As the ground changes, just like the "fossils turning into mud" that once trapped a vampire trying to escape, Anke never imagined that one day this trick would be used against him.

The time for being locked up in the small dark room was so unexpected.

An Ke still didn't give up and made a final struggle: "It's my fault, I forgot accidentally--Ah!! Help!!"

The sound cannot be transmitted.

It didn't affect Miss Encore's reputation, which is a good thing, right?

······

"So noisy, kids are really energetic."

Across an unknown distance, China sighed in his magic workshop.

Despite his busy schedule, he managed to devote some attention to the girl, mainly because she had already arrived in Black Rock City and entered the demiplane, which was just enough time to confirm that her spirit had not been polluted.

But China did not expect that there would be an unexpected gain.

"...it's interesting that she can actually sense your presence."

Qina turned his head and said, "Except for Dorokichi, not to mention the fourth level, even some legends can't understand your situation."

There was nothing around him, no objects, and no answer. It seemed like he was talking to himself in the air.

"Is it the gift of the Paradise Fairies? The Moon Corona Meditation of the Moon Heritage? The special blessing of the Fairy Witch? The Winter Witch? Baba Yaga? The Lord of the Dark Sun?"

China was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly raised an eyebrow. "Hey, there's actually an Eternal Death Star? Are you sure? I don't mean to question the experts, but if that's the case, things would be very interesting."

He snapped his fingers, and a few pieces of paper flew out. After a quick comparison, he seemed to have discovered something interesting:

"Haha, Madam Black Crow, a little thing has taken on the majesty of the lady. How bold! She even dares to pretend to be a distinguished guest of the Abyss and deceive the Well of Silence... Doesn't she know the connection between the fairies, the royal court, and the Dark Moon Hades? If it weren't for the incident on Fairy Tale Island, which barely proves that she has no connection with that place, Margoria and Zedo would definitely arrest her. Well, I won't tell them, otherwise it would be too troublesome."

China counted in his mind and couldn't help but smile, with a bit of gloating.

"That's all I can do at level two. It's even more powerful than when I was at level three. I just don't know if the fall will be even worse."

"Well, the last two are probably impossible. As for the first five... it's hard to say. There might be other reasons."

"Okay, I don't know either. Let's just treat it as a fairy's talent. It's worth taking the time to investigate. Anyway, I temporarily added the Enlightenment Society... Uh, are you sure your society still exists? I remember the rules of the Tower Academy. Without an instructor and at least one member, the society should be revoked. Oh, they must have forgotten to even revoke it."

China held his forehead, feeling helpless.

"That's enough. Let's take a look around here. 'Isle of Sleep' is the base of the Old Empire, right? How much do you know about it? And there's the Lord of the Dark Sun. He's a god after all. His low intelligence isn't necessarily a good thing for us lower-rankers. He could go berserk at any moment. I'm the worst fighter in the tower, and Zedo is only average. I don't think he's reliable. Saoirse isn't available, and her attacks are too expensive. What should we do?!"

He scratched his hair, obviously distressed, "Help me, Princess, can you use your invincible power and super privileges to support me in the spirit world? The mission given by the lady is not easy to complete——"

"Forget it, I was just kidding. I'll figure it out slowly."

With a sigh, China continued to fall into long and deep meditation.
