Witch, don't be so lazy

It was not surprised that the little pigeon next to it suddenly disappeared, but it was wondering why the positioning signal was rapidly weakening.

The little dove took his own blood and also tampered with his cloak, so even in the ever-changing spiritual world, he could not escape his lock.

Dead? Not really?

Although it is very weak, there is still a little bit of it.

"Ah! Did he sneak back to Paradise?"

The lamb hummed twice.

"Little Fat Pigeon, you didn't even invite me to play with you. Next time you show up, I'll teach you a lesson!"

……

Traveling through the spirit world.

An Ke felt like she was going to die.

On the one hand, it’s time to log off, and this pigeon mimicry is collapsing.

On the other hand, I feel like a precious treasure is slipping away from me. It’s so painful, even worse than death.

But not for a while.

Encore experienced firsthand what it meant to be "worse than death."

Because the pigeon mimicry is collapsing, but the drop of blood, the lamb's rainbow blood, is constantly reconstructing its body.

Literally, it's like going back and forth between death and life, doing sit-ups repeatedly between weakness and vigor.

Not long after, the witch's cloak and the dark original seal came into play again.

Mix into a ball.

In the end, even the proficiency panel appeared, with text appearing and disappearing.

The repeated information made An Ke lose consciousness, and she only remembered the last scene.

Hey, even though I didn’t update on time, but considering it’s 5,000 words, I’ll just act cute and try to get by!

Chapter 39 Shadow Affinity

Strange ceiling.

An Ke opened his eyes, shook his still slightly dizzy head, threw off the quilt and climbed out of bed, feeling a little thirsty.

He glanced at the fruit basket beside the bed. It was sent by Mars and others from the Sixth Bar Research Institute. He subconsciously used the insight spell, took a look, then picked up the oranges and started peeling them.

This is the camp's treatment center, and it's a high-end room.

After her consciousness left the spiritual world yesterday afternoon, her mind became a mess, her mental strength was exhausted, her thoughts were confused, and she was even a little shaky when she walked out of the tent, let alone returning to her residence in town.

However, Anke is now a big celebrity in the camp. Not only the adventurers know that she is a genius engraver, but also the vendors and staff, and even some guards in the lord's mansion recognize her.

So she was quickly arranged to stay in the VIP ward. Although the examination found that there was nothing serious and it was just normal excessive mental exhaustion, she still fell asleep in the ward.

I slept on and off for almost a day, like a little pig, and now I finally woke up.

In fact, it may not be entirely caused by the experience in the spiritual world. It may also be that I have been working on my skills at a high intensity these days, and my body and mind really need a good rest.

Anke took a bite of the orange and it was a bit sour, not sweet.

Just as she put the fruit down with a look of disgust, she heard rhythmic knocks on the door.

"Hello? Are you awake, little cutie? Whether you're awake or not, big sis is coming in!"

"woke up!"

Before he finished speaking, the doorknob turned and Luya came in with a booklet and sat down on the chair beside the bed.

"This is what you want. Here's a brief introduction: it's from mainland China. No charge."

The older sister handed the booklet to Anke, and then stopped the latter from taking out the money, and just asked curiously,

"It's okay to talk about the White Walkers and Baba Yaga, but why are you suddenly asking about the Philosopher's Stone?"

In the morning, in addition to Mars and the others who came to visit with things, Luya, who had disappeared for many days, also reappeared.

"...Well, I just heard the adventurers in the camp talking about Hahn, and it reminded me that he studied alchemy and joined the Golden Dawn. Speaking of that organization, I remembered the words in the book. The Golden Dawn was once just one of countless alchemy societies, unknown until they forged the Philosopher's Stone and completed their great work. Then, overnight, it became a holy place for alchemy..."

"No wonder."

Luya suddenly understood, and then smiled again.

"I don't know how those adventurers started saying Hahn was an alchemical genius. It made me laugh to death. The fat boy took the exam fourteen times and finally passed the Golden Dawn assessment a while ago... Haha, the guards said he wanted to visit the camp, but heard those rumors on the way and immediately said he suddenly remembered his homework and sent the carriage back."

"Oh, right." Luya's face turned serious. "If you've rested well, stay in town for a while and don't come to the camp casually. We might have some big moves."

An Ke was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Anyway, there is no need to quickly brush up on Insight now, so just don’t come.

She just hesitated for a moment: "Can I tell others this news?"

"Yes, but it's not necessary. The Adventurer's Guild has a notice."

Lu Ya pinched An Ke's little face, then stood up and said, "Sister won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving now. Remember not to get yourself dizzy because of the enchantment again."

This is Encore’s external explanation, which is very convincing.

After hearing this, Sally sighed, "No wonder Miss Anke has such attainments in runes at such a young age. Hard work and talent are both indispensable." Mars and the other two nodded in agreement.

When she reached the door, Luya seemed to remember something and said something else.

"I've looked carefully for the Malchana you mentioned, but there's no relevant information."

"It's okay. I just saw it on a street vendor's bookshelf. It might just be a name they made up. Those bards and unscrupulous booksellers love to make up stories."

"Haha, that's true, but those stories about Baba Yaga happened thousands of years ago. Myths and nursery rhymes are sometimes true and sometimes false. Who knows which ones are true? Goodbye, little cutie~"

Anko waved.

The door closed, and she held her chin and looked at the proficiency panel, feeling a little confused.

[Baba Yaga/Malchana's Shadow Blessing]

Suddenly this thing appeared.

It seems to be made from the witch's cloak, the original seal dropped by Antica after her death, and the philosopher's stone.

But there were no annotations, and she didn't feel like she had mastered any new skills, so what exactly did it protect?

And even if we take a step back, when did the cheat code have this function?

"Panel? System? Tongzi? Tongbao? Is he here? Give me some explanation! Damn system! Stop playing dead!"

An Ke bombarded herself with thoughts in her heart, but received no response.

Damn, just like she had tested the panel countless times after traveling through time, this thing didn’t seem to be smart at all.

While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it can be extremely annoying at times.

Forget it.

An Ke has his own brain and can do analysis.

The first is protection, which is actually similar to the blessing of God. They are all special abilities granted by high-level beings. They usually require epic wizards, and a small number of legendary witches and saints can also give them.

In the bard's poems, the protagonists and heroes generally have some protection and blessings.

The most typical one is the "Arrow Avoidance Blessing". As long as the line of sight is confirmed, you can dodge the flying object - of course, the premise is that the enemy does not have the "guaranteed hit" protection and blessing, and the strength has not reached the legendary level.

If we take a real-life example, the third-place "Sea Witch" can grant a variety of protections, such as "Wave Walker," which allows one to walk freely on the sea without sinking, and "Underwater Breathing," which needs no explanation...

But the premise of all this is that the other party must be willing to give and can also take it back.

And the protection that Anko received seemed to be stolen, well, that's not quite right.

Because the panel sent a request to the other party through the "Witch's Cloak" and the "Dark Seal", the request was "responded".

Antica Chell, Anke now knew who it was, the most powerful magical pet under the witch, with terrifying strength and bad temperament. He responded quickly and tried to retaliate with a curse, but the panel forcibly terminated the request.

Baba Yaga, the most famous evil witch, who destroyed the Frostwing clan, drove out the elves, and completely changed the North, did not respond.

But Malchana gave it, although it later showed that "necessary conditions were missing" and failed in the end.

So Anke went to ask Luya, but the result came out and she didn't know who this person was.

Although the three requests seemed to have failed in the end, with the help of the "Philosopher's Stone", the panel finally successfully created the protection.

This is also the reason why Anke asked for information about the Philosopher's Stone.

Open the booklet.

There is not much content and you can finish reading it in no time.

The crystal of immortality, the universal elixir, the sublime miracle, the glorious wish, the undoubted pinnacle of alchemy, these are the reputations of the Philosopher's Stone.

No, it's not a compliment, that's the most sincere description.

It was recorded in the book that the Philosopher's Stone could indeed allow living beings, even mortals, to survive safely for five hundred years without any side effects, without being twisted into monsters or suffering any loss of soul. The five hundred years were because the Golden Dawn was experiencing civil unrest at that time, and it was used as alchemical material.

This leads to another characteristic of the Philosopher's Stone: a perfect medium that can replace all lower-level materials, even some fifth-level materials.

Yes, in terms of status, it is equivalent to Legend, and is even the top one among Legends.

Since it's such an auxiliary thing, it seems reasonable to forcibly create protection.

Then the problem is coming.

The noble Philosopher's Stone is actually just a drop of blood. What on earth is this lamb? Its origin is too great.

Epic? God?

There are indeed records that the blood of gods can bring about miracles. For example, it is written in the "Holy Scripture" that "the archangel shed tears of mercy and blood, and the rain of sweet rain resurrected the people of the entire city"; or the blood holy grail bestowed by the demon god Hesindi. Any vampire who wants to be promoted to a legend must drink his blood and receive his grace.

But the problem is that there are only a few epics in the world today, and each of them is a great figure who has shocked the world throughout history. Not to mention gods, who are even fewer than epics, and most of them have disappeared in the long river of history.

The lamb is very powerful though.

Whether it is the ability to sneak through the spirit world or use those treasures to perform incredible operations, all of them demonstrate its extraordinaryness, but to be honest, it is still far from epic, so don't try to touch it.

And if it was really that powerful, why would it allow the villains to trap it and suffer every day...

I don't understand.

An Ke lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, and then dawdled for a while before packing up her things.

Finally, she went to the adventurer's base in the camp to say hello to Mars and the others, and then she slipped back to the town directly, moving very smoothly.

Since the elder sister has reminded him, An Ke will definitely listen to the advice.

……

night.

On the street where Hans's magic workshop was located, the cold wind was howling.

An Ke wrapped herself up like a little penguin with clothes and a scarf, and then waited quietly at the door.

A good while.

The wind chimes rang, and Old Hans finally opened the door.

"It's late at night, you'd better buy some expensive spiritual items, otherwise don't blame me for pointing at your head and cursing... Shit!"

Before he finished speaking, the man disappeared.

"What are you going to do?!"

An Ke was also shocked. "Why are you holding a dagger against my neck? Do you want to kill someone?!"
