Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

For example, he asked Merlin to sit on his back and use him as a stool, or asked Merlin to lie on his back on the ground and use his feet in stockings to trample his abdomen. How could a good boy grow up to be a pervert? It's really unpredictable.

"By the way, teacher, if I become successful, can you consider that request?"

"Request? You mean propose?"

Merlin nodded excitedly, but Angelica was quite helpless.

"You haven't given up yet."

"I hope the teacher can seriously give me a chance."

Angelica never hated suitors, she even thought it would be strange if she didn't have any suitors wherever she went, but Angelica would not accept suitors. It wasn't that she liked to keep them hanging, because Angelica knew that there would be no good result in the end.

Unexpectedly, this child, after seeing such a sharp contrast of changes, still did not choose to give up.

It's pretty clear, isn't it? When Merlin was still learning magic, the witch was a girl; when Merlin had learned magic, the witch was still a girl; one day in the future, Merlin might become an old man, but the witch would still be beautiful.

However, Angelica did not reject Merlin outright.

Merlin is very talented and intelligent, he will understand it sooner or later as long as he continues to study magic.

"Then let's make a deal. If you can become a big shot at the level of the chief magician of the kingdom's court, I can consider agreeing to one of your requests."

"real……?"

Merlin couldn't believe it, but felt troubled by the witch's request. The Chief Magician of the Kingdom's Palace, as the name suggests, is the most authoritative magician in the kingdom and the kingdom's right-hand man. All major and minor decisions concerning magic in the country are under the responsibility of the Chief Magician of the Kingdom's Palace and he provides direct guidance.

Every chief magician in the royal court of a kingdom is a great magician who is worthy of being recorded in history. Although Merlin has achieved some success at this time, the position of chief magician in the royal court of a kingdom is a high position that is out of reach for him.

But this is an opportunity.

A chance to pursue the witch with a legitimate reason.

The boyish innocence had not yet left Merlin, and he believed from the bottom of his heart that he could do it.

"Don't regret it, teacher."

"Well, I won't regret it."

"If I become the chief magician of the royal court... I will ask you to step on me with your boots that you have worn for several days and you are not allowed to regret it!"

"Why did the requirement become this?! And why do you emphasize wearing it for several days?"

"Because it means that the boots have the smell and mark of the teacher..."

"What a pervert! Get down the mountain quickly, you stupid disciple!"

——About eleven years later.

The witch never left the Misty Mountains again. One day, a familiar guest arrived in the courtyard of the Misty Mountains.

A man dressed in a wizard's robe stood in the courtyard. He knew that the witch would grow vegetables, herbs and flowers in her spare time. The witch usually chose to grow irises and violets in her garden, but compared with vegetables and herbs, the witch was not very interested in the cultivation of flowers.

The witch said that irises were her favorite flowers, so she chose to grow them, but the witch often forgot to water them, remove insects, and weed them, and none of them survived more than a year.

"Eh? Isn't this Merlin? You came back so quickly?"

"Teacher, it's been eleven years already?"

Man Dressed as a Magician : Merlin says this to the witch Angelica as she walks out of the house.

"Eleven years? It's no different to me than eleven months."

Eleven months is almost the same as a school year, but there are only a few eleven years in a person's life. Angelica is an exception. She has spent countless eleven years, but not many of them are special.

"You seem to have matured a lot, stupid disciple."

Merlin, who left the Misty Mountains, was like a boy who set out on a hike. When he returned, he was already a mature magician, at least in appearance. He gave people the feeling of "try to rely on this man." If he were in an adventure team or a town, he would be a captain or president.

"Really? But teacher, you don't seem as mature as before. The flower garden... is basically ruined."

"I can't help it. The flower garden was previously cleaned by stupid disciples. After you left, I took care of it by myself, and it ended up like this. The irises all withered, and I was sad for a long time."

"…If you're sad, why not try to take care of it yourself? If you leave it alone, whatever you plant in the flowerbed will wither."

"What are you talking about, stupid disciple? No matter how I think about it, it's all your fault for leaving and the flowers that withered so carelessly."

Angelica argued like a naughty child.

Merlin recalled Angelica's previous habits and could roughly guess what was going on.

"Teacher, you are not going to stand in front of the flower bed again and leave without doing anything?"

"It's not like I'm doing nothing. As the saying goes, a beautiful woman deserves a beautiful man—"

Angelica straightened her chest confidently.

"When the flowers see a beautiful girl like me, shouldn't they feel that they should bloom even harder to match me? No matter how you think about it, this is the most suitable nutrient."

"Please at least give them a minimum amount of water."

Merlin held his forehead. Angelica was still the same as always. She believed that beautiful girls (referring to herself) were the best nutrients. She would walk around the flower garden every day and then go back to stay at home.

Angelica still kept this habit after Merlin left. She said she liked this kind of flower, but she kept it in such a messy way.

"Teacher, you haven't changed at all."

77 The Witch Lady's Witness

Eleven years have passed, Merlin has grown into an excellent magician, and his footprints are all over the world. However, the witch living in the Misty Mountains is still the same as she was eleven years ago, just like a pure girl.

"You've changed a lot. You've grown so tall. It's really annoying to look at."

"what?"

"My body hasn't grown for a long time. If possible, I would like to grow taller."

Angelica came from a blue planet without magic, and she was not a soul occupying her original body, but was born in this world as a baby.

Angelica experienced a second growth, but there was one thing that Angelica was very dissatisfied with: her height had not returned to the level before the time travel.

"Really? I thought it wasn't big enough..."

"Sexy disciple."

Angelica was about to hit Merlin on the head with her knife, but Merlin was so tall that Angelica had to stand on tiptoes and Merlin had to bend slightly to hit him.

"So what did you come here for? Did you already make a deal?"

"Not yet. I have made some achievements, teacher. The royal court of a kingdom has invited me to serve the royal family. I just passed by here and came up to visit you."

Merlin is still working towards his goal of becoming the chief magician of the court, but this path is more difficult than he expected.

"I'm leaving soon. The next time I see you, Sensei, I'll be the chief magician of the kingdom's court."

"Okay, I'll wait for that day."

"Speaking of which, it's rare for us to see each other again, so why don't you give me some parting gifts? For example, the silk that you have worn..."

For some time afterwards, a strange story circulated in the parish of Boppard in the Rhine Mountains.

It is said that there may be screaming banshees in the Misty Mountains, because someone once witnessed a mysterious creature screaming and flying out of the sky of the Misty Mountains, like a meteor across the sky -

Time has always been cold and ruthless. It will never stop because of anyone's regret or reluctance.

——Fifty years ago.

The witch walked on the winter snow back to her residence: a wooden house on the Misty Mountains.

There was a middle-aged man waiting in the courtyard. He seemed to have been waiting for the witch for a long time. The flowerbed that the witch had messed up had been cleaned up by the man, and the courtyard was also meticulously maintained by the man.

The man was over forty years old, dressed in a noble magic robe, and was obviously a famous figure.

The witch saw through the middle-aged man's true identity at a glance.

"…Merlin?"

"Teacher, nice to see you again. It's been fifteen years since we last met."

"Fifteen years? I can't remember... Are you coming to visit me?"

"I came to the Misty Mountains two months ago, but the teacher was not here."

"I was out for a walk and to attend the funeral of an old friend."

Angelica said she had an orc friend who should have been enjoying his old age, but ended up reading a best-selling book among the elves and got so angry that he died. Merlin was lucky. The witch hadn't been away from home for long. If he was unlucky, he might not see the witch for several years.

"How are you?"

"I have settled in the Kingdom of Pilsen."

"The Kingdom of Pilsen... is quite a distance away from the Rhine Federation."

"Riding a Swift Dragon is pretty fast. I really like the customs and culture of the Kingdom of Pilsen. The royal family also thinks highly of me. I successfully obtained the coveted position in the palace."

"Chief magician of the palace?"

Merlin nodded. The previous chief magician of the court had passed away not long ago. Although the two had not spent much time together, the previous chief magician valued Merlin's talent very much and passed on his mantle to Merlin.

It is considered quite young for a man in his forties to become the chief magician of the kingdom's court. With the support and sponsorship of the kingdom, Merlin was finally able to show his talents and start studying the dream he had many years ago.

"I've been doing some research recently, and I'm planning to integrate some medium-level magic into props, so that they can enter thousands of households. Teacher, didn't you say that you've imagined a magic prop that can communicate with each other across the ocean, or even communicate through virtual projection? If that really exists, I can communicate with you often, and we don't have to be separated by more than ten years every time."

"Well... Strictly speaking, that's not achieved by magic... Anyway, I can't explain the principle. So, what problem did you encounter?"

"There are many objections from magicians in the kingdom. Even I am dumbfounded by the amount of money spent. If we want to earn back the cost from the common people, the price must be raised to an astronomical figure... If we do that, we won't be able to spread the benefits of magic."

"Well, it's a tricky problem, but it's normal. Many products cannot benefit everyone at the beginning. It takes a long time to reduce costs and iterate technology. I don't know what you have done, but I think there should be a lot of room for further improvement."

As the saying goes, buy early and enjoy early, buy late and enjoy discounts. No one can resist the temptation of -80%.

"Yes, but it takes a lot of time to improve..."

Merlin's expression was somewhat lonely and regretful.

“I don’t know if I can hold on until the day when I see the results of my research benefit every household.”

Perhaps, Merlin's research had not yet reached the point where it could be reduced to cost, and it had already been forcibly abolished by the kingdom. No one could predict what the future would hold, and for Merlin, not being able to see that day would surely be a lifelong regret.

"It's ok."

"Ok?"

"Let me help you bear witness."

The witch shrugged and spoke as if nothing had happened.

"Because I can live a long time."

If you have no way to witness how your research can help future generations, let me witness it for you, because witches will never age or die, and can witness the changes in the world.

Merlin was stunned for a moment, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, a smile that seemed to be relieved and as if he had figured something out.

"Yes, Sensei is a witch of immortality and youth. There is no more convincing guarantee than this."

"Now that you have become the chief magician of the kingdom's court, I should also fulfill my promise. Only this time, I will allow your stupid disciple to make any request."

"...No, that's not necessary. I haven't decided what wish to make yet."

What Merlin didn't tell Angelica was that he was still single and hadn't found a partner for his life.

He had an unrealistic dream, in which he reached the realm of extraordinary beings and became an equal to the witch. But even though Merlin had become the chief magician of the kingdom's court, he was still a long way from being an extraordinary being.

"Teacher...you haven't changed at all..."

78 Flower Magician

In the past, the Kingdom of Pilsen would only mourn when a wise king passed away.

However, this time, the grief of the whole country came from the death of a veteran minister who had served three dynasties.

Merlin, the flower magician.

He improved the lives of the kingdom's residents and brought mid-level magic, which was previously beyond the reach of ordinary people, into every household in the form of props. His kindness even spread beyond the Kingdom of Pilsen to further places.

King Andrew knew that Merlin was a great magician who truly cared about the world.

His philosophy is that magic should improve people's lives, making them better and happier, so Merlin spent half a century as the chief magician of the court studying magic props.

Therefore, it was only natural that Merlin's death shocked the entire kingdom.
