Witch, don't be so lazy

"What does it mean to merge later?"

"For example - Breath Concealment can be used as a precursor to the high-level spell Shadow Step, and Shadow Cloak can also be used as a precursor to Shadow Step. They merge and point to the same high-level spell. Do you understand?"

"I understand." An Ke nodded.

"You're currently learning the Invisibility Spell, one of the most important cornerstones of the School of Shadows. It's involved in a large number of subsequent high-level skills, such as Shadow Step, Shadow Strike, and Circle of Silence. Almost all of them require the subsequent advancement of these skills as a prerequisite."

"Not to mention those super-level magics, Shadow Shuttle, Shadow Double, Shadow Weaving, all built on the important cornerstones mentioned above... But these are still too far away for you."

Anke also agreed with Hans' words.

It's really too far away.

Only third-level mages can master high-level spells, and fourth-level mages can master super-level spells. As for the higher-level legends, they are walking disasters. When they really fight, they use all the domains and forbidden spells.

"...That's all. Five hundred gold coins is all this? At least tell me more so I can consider and choose!"

An Ke stared at the old man who was only focused on drinking tea and couldn't help but puffing out his cheeks.

"Don't worry. I'll write you a booklet in a couple of days. It'll include the advanced spell relationships of the School of Shadows that I've seen. Of course, the highest level is only intermediate spells. But you'll also have to sign a contract, promising not to sell it."

"...Hey, you're completely judging others by your own standards. I protest."

Encore shouts.

"Protests are useless. If you don't sign, you won't get anything."

"...Okay, then do you have any tips on practicing Shadow Hide? I think you're amazing, could you teach Anke for free? A discount would be great too!"

Encore used cuteness.

"Yes, there is no discount. You are a VIP customer, so the charge must be higher!"

Hans ignored Encore's cute appearance and made some shameless remarks.

It was noisy for a while.

After finishing the few desserts in the store, An Ke slipped away contentedly.

Hans also looked at the girl's back and thought for a moment.

Finally he stood up and closed the shop door.

Take out paper and pen.

Neat words are written line by line.

Dear Ms. Adela:

Gui'an!

Twenty-five years ago, I made a terrible mistake and was too embarrassed to stay in the tower.

You are so merciful that you did not punish me, but instead gave me a noble prophecy. I am so grateful that I cannot express it in words.

Following the instructions, I headed south and finally chose the place where I felt most at ease.

It's a little place called Cedar Town, you've no doubt seen it, so please forgive my rambling.

In your prophecy, I will meet a new witch who can help me make up for my mistakes in the past.

And just six months ago, I discovered the Winter Witch who had reawakened from the border between life and death. Perhaps she is the witch in the prophecy.

……

The girl chosen by the Winter Witch was named Anke.

A very smart child, sometimes naughty, sometimes cute, and with unimaginable talent.

Even if she doesn't receive the witch's favor, I will still recommend her to you, hoping that she can enter the Tower Academy for training.

She received the spirit of nature and was also allowed to go to the land of hibernation in the future.

Perhaps by then, she will truly awaken the Witch of Winter and promote the fulfillment of the prophecy.

……

Some time ago, I plucked up the courage and contacted Zeduo's disciples.

China hasn't come to look for me yet. Maybe he hasn't received any news yet, or maybe he is too busy, but that day will come sooner or later.

My injuries are almost healed, and I plan to leave where I’m staying, but I don’t know where to go. I hope you can give me some guidance.

……

At last.

Maybe it's a bit cheeky, but I still want to ask about the recent situation of "****" and China.

Thanks again!

—Hans Dorokich, the sinner]

Holding the envelope.

Hans took a deep breath and walked to the window.

It happened to be evening.

He unfolded the envelope towards the starry sky, and the words inside disappeared one by one, leaving only blank paper.

Wait quietly.

Until the bright light is outlined on the white paper.

"**** is fine, China just returned from Tusk."

"They don't blame you, Hans."

"But if you still don't want to go back to the tower, you can continue heading south. There are members of the Dark Society active there. Be careful, the Dark Shadows will always remember you."

Chapter 90 Departure

The lobby of the Adventurer's Guild.

"Sister Luya, I may have to leave in two days."

An Ke picked up a sizzling grilled sausage with garlic aroma and spoke casually while fanning it with telekinesis.

"Oh, it's definitely time."

Luya was stunned for a moment, with a complicated expression, and then smiled again.

"Actually, it's a little later than I thought. I originally thought you'd finish wiping out the Huangtu Gang, rest for two days, and then leave once you get the money from the Aleman family."

She pursed her lips and pinched the girl's cheek again, "Just sit here obediently."

The eldest sister got up and left, and when she reappeared, she was holding an envelope in her hand.

"Go to the Adventurer's Guild in Arthda City and give this letter to the branch president, Matika. She already knows you, and she will give you a bronze badge when the time comes."

"If you encounter any troubles in life or cultivation, you can try to find her. Teacher Matika is quite kind. If you are polite, she should be willing to take care of you."

Luya handed over the envelope.

An Ke blinked, and as she took it, she couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Sister Luya calls her teacher?"

"Yes, Ms. Matica is the general manager of the Adventurer's Guild in Arthda City, and she is also the teacher that Mira and I share."

Mira is Hahn's mother, who has passed away for many years. It is said that she failed in her spiritual journey to the second level.

Luya pursed her lips and said, "Later, Mira married Yom and came to Xueshan Town. At her invitation, I also came here to be the head of the base."

"I was able to get this position thanks to the teacher's kindness. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort for an ordinary first-level mage to get it. After all, it's a lucrative position."

...Suddenly, reality came to me, and I always felt that there seemed to be some sad memories hidden in the elder sister's words.

An Ke did not continue the topic, but changed the subject, first thanked him, and then asked:

"Sister Luya, is there anything you need? I have a little money here!"

"Hehe, well, I'm not as poor as you think, cutie."

Lu Ya laughed dumbly. "Just work hard. When you become a big shot in the Adventurer's Guild, I will also be rewarded as your guide..."

She thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, how about when you see Teacher Matika and she asks about my recent situation, you can just say that although Sister Luya appears lazy, she actually works very hard every day. This way you won't have to report to Asda City every year and get scolded."

"it is good."

Anke took a bite of the sausage and nodded heavily.

"Remember to go to the Iris Workshop after the Adventurer's Guild. You're registered there too. With your rune skills at your age, you'll probably scare a bunch of people there."

"it is good."

"Well, there's no need to visit Hahn. You don't seem to be familiar with the fat guy... Well, what else... I don't think there is anything else. Just stay focused until the magic exam begins."

Luya thought seriously, "If you can't get used to it, you can come back. I can keep the small room for you. There aren't many guests staying there anyway."

"it is good!"

An Ke thought about it, tilted her head and asked,

"Sister Luya, do you know the advancement path for the Frost School spells?"

"I know something, why are you asking this suddenly?"

"Curious, can you tell me?"

"Well, that's not a good reason. How about you exchange it with contributions? The guild has a very detailed description of the promotion. A bronze commission contribution will be enough."

"I only have Black Iron ones now. Can I synthesize them?"

"No, according to the rules, only high-level ones can be split into low-level ones."

"Okay then." An Ke pouted.

"Why are you so persistent? Why don't you just act like a spoiled brat?"

Luya was a little confused, but still said with a smile, "I can tell you something I know."

"Please, beautiful and kind sister Luya, please, please~"

Encore used cuteness and +QU!N Qiba Wulu +Liuba Fin Flag to act coquettishly.

Outstanding effect.

……

After paying a symbolic contribution of some black iron, Anke gained new knowledge.

It went very smoothly and she set her own goal of practicing.

Intermediate spell "Frost Nova".

There is no other reason, the main reason is that the characteristic of this spell is that after it is cast, it can absorb the surrounding frost energy within a certain period of time, increase its own power, and finally explode.

This is so fitting for "Winter's Elegy."

After all, without distance attenuation, the amplification of this spell will definitely be greater and more powerful.

The only problem was that Frost Nova had two prerequisites, and Luya only knew one of them.

It is the advancement of the low-level spell "Frost Curse" and the trick "Hailstorm·Power".

But it doesn't matter.

After all, mid-level spells can only be cast by a second-level wizard. An Ke is not in a hurry at all. He can take his time to search and grind. There is still enough time.

……

Two days later.

Anke came to Hans' Magic Shop as promised and got the booklet recording the advanced spells of the Shadow School.

It was densely packed with many things, even a bunch of spells that Encore had never heard of.

After all, the books in the Winter Magic Chamber of Commerce only include the most mainstream ones.

But in fact, different countries, different regions, and different organizations have developed all kinds of strange spells. Whether they are powerful or not is another matter, but they are quite interesting anyway.

The old guy really has a lot of experience.

Although it cost five hundred gold coins, Encore felt it was worth it.

So she took out another 1,400 gold coins and directly took the practice experience and practical skills of "Shadow Hiding".

This caused Anke's small treasury to shrink to just over 200 gold coins, but there was nothing she could do. She felt that the old man had very high attainments in the School of Shadows, and if she missed this opportunity, she would miss it.
