Chapter 122 105. Make a contract with me.
Several minutes later, in the restricted area beneath the great library, three witches began a tea party.
Well, it might be called a tea party, but really it was because senior Fanny, who had sealed herself away for an extended period, hadn't seen any visitors for quite some time and was fervently eager to entertain Dorothy and Dina.
However, watching senior with long black straight hair, who after searching half a day in this room filled with books, finally with an embarrassed face realized there really was nothing at all to entertain guests with, Dorothy at last sighed and then took out a set of table and chairs from her magic bag, along with some snacks and tea she had made herself.
"Please don't be shy, you two seniors. This is by way of apology for my rudeness just now."
Being in need, the homebody witch's usually unused EQ suddenly kicked into gear, and she said this.
Seeing this mysterious junior so understanding, senior Fanny felt ashamed for having nothing prepared, and looked at Dorothy with gratitude.
Well, it would have been better if she could have opened her own eyes instead of letting her "adorable" familiars convey this gratitude with their myriad of eyes.
Once the two seniors were seated and had each politely tasted a bite of the snacks Dorothy brought out, their eyes lit up, and despite initially thinking they'd just eat a bit out of courtesy before getting down to serious matters, they found their hands kept moving on their own.
"Miss, did you make these using the witch's culinary magic spells? Why does mine not taste like this?"
While continuing to pop cookies into her mouth one after another, senior Dina looked at her companion, puzzled.
Of course, it's because I'm the creator of the spell, you learners can hardly reach my level.
This was what Dorothy thought to herself, but naturally, she couldn't really say that.
"It's probably because I enjoy good food on a daily basis, so I practice more often, making me more proficient with the spells. With more practice, I'm sure you could do it too, senior."
The homebody witch answered thus, and she wasn't lying; every word was true.
In theory, with infinitely more practice, reaching the utmost proficiency in the spells, coupled with just a little culinary talent, it really was possible to create food as delicious as hers. Read exclusive adventures at empire
"The witch series of spells? I know of them, I absolutely love her spell series. I always purchase and download them the moment I awaken."
Senior Fanny, hearing this, also showed interest, enthusiastically taking out her Spellbook, its cover emblazoned with the words "Book of the Dead" and made from a strange leather that just screamed trouble, showing off her complete collection of spells from the witch series she had, and then expressed some regret.
"It's just a pity I'm not fit to go out, otherwise I'd really like to find this young Spell Master and discuss and study with her. I've also developed quite a few life series spells based on her work and would love her help reviewing them."
Senior with long black straight hair said this while casually showing her two juniors the fruits of her research.
"Well, such as this Xiuji Maid Summoning Curse."
Senior Fanny clapped her hands and at once from the darkness, a strange sound of something massive writhing echoed, and then a white-haired, grey-eyed maid Miss with an excellent figure emerged from a dark corner of the room. (Search for the maid of the Forest Manor on B-site, it's a fun interactive video, highly recommended)
"Tyco Lili at your service."
The seemingly perfect maid Miss greeted Dorothy and Dina in this way.
"As expected of senior Fanny, your summoning magic is getting more and more impressive."
Not really getting it, Dina praised as she looked at the perfect maid Miss.
And Dorothy looked at the creature beneath the perfect maid's uniform, its formless, slime-like body with countless eyes that continuously appeared and vanished, and hurriedly lifted her trembling hand to take a sip of tea to calm her shock.
"Senior, it's a good thing you can't go out, otherwise, how would I have the ability to mentor you? I think your 'life series' spells are probably too much for an average witch to handle."
Then, as the strange maid continued to serve tea and water, the wonderful witch's tea party went on. Maybe because they shared an "idol," the conversation among the three of them was unexpectedly harmonious. Their relationship became quickly cordial, facilitated by the shared interests and delicious food.
At least Dorothy was no longer as scared of this somewhat eerie senior. Although the senior's strength was indeed a bit strange and frightening, after talking it through, she realized that the senior actually had a very good personality. Not only was she beautiful, but her knowledge was also extremely vast. No matter the topic, she was able to join in the conversation.
For Dorothy, who also knew a little about everything, the conversation was very pleasant. The two of them hit it off immediately, and it felt like they were kindred spirits who regretted not meeting sooner. The subjects of their conversation ranged from the Nine Major Schools to the principles of Spell Studies, from astronomy to geography, basically a random exchange about everything under the sun.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This left Dina, who to others seemed quite a monster and a study buff, feeling a bit lost and unable to keep up with the two heavyweights. She eventually took out her notebook and started taking notes obediently.
The conversation went on for several hours until the two kindred spirits finally ended a topic, and senior Fanny slightly furrowed her brow.
"Miss junior, although I would like to keep chatting with you, my time is running short. Let's talk business. What do you need my help with today?"
Upon hearing this, the invigorated Dorothy suddenly snapped back to reality. She looked behind the senior, whom she now considered a close friend, only to see that the previously dissipated Flesh Mushroom Blanket and indescribable monsters were beginning to reappear.
Clearly, her close friend's time was indeed running out.
Without wanting to delay any further, she quickly explained her desire to learn about the deeds of The Third King.
"Senior, it's like this..."
Aba, aba...
"I see, that's quite simple," responded senior Fanny, who seemed to be growing sleepier. She shook her head to keep awake and pondered for a moment.
After a while, she suddenly lifted her head, her eyes ablaze as she looked at Dorothy.
"Miss junior, the deeds of The Third King aren't something that can be explained in just a short time. My time is running short too, but I do have another way to solve your problem. Do you want to give it a try?"
"What way, senior? Tell me," Dorothy replied hastily, glancing at the senior with long black straight hair, whose condition was still deteriorating.
"That would be to sign a contract with me and take me on as your familiar."
"What?"
Dorothy was stunned. She looked at the senior across from her, bewildered, wondering if the senior had fallen ill early, her mind not clear.
How can a witch take on another witch as a familiar? This is like treating a person like a dog. I never expected you to play so wild, senior. But I, as a decent person, how could I do such a thing? This is absolutely not possible.
... The little witch is terrified ...
