The Witch's Imaginary Land: Redemption Comes After Sticking Together

Page 100

"Spell Torrent" buys time, then "Multiple Incantations" continuously and specifically suppresses the opponent, completely seizing control of the rhythm. With this combo, the opponent's chances of turning the tide will only decrease.

This is the real turret mage... Jiang Kehan ​​nodded to herself. All the talk about turret mages needing to move multiple times to avoid being directly killed by the opponent is nonsense. Only the turret mage who doesn't need to move at all is the true romance of the turret mage!

However, while her idea was appealing, Jiang Kehan ​​faced a more practical problem—she couldn't currently gather the witch points needed for these skills.

Therefore, after burying herself in alchemy and practicing diligently without wasting a single inspiration, Jiang Kehan ​​immediately arranged her training at the Witch's Tavern.

She already asked, and both skills can be obtained with tavern points.

So, for a bright future, let's work, young lady!

Jiang Kehan ​​convinced herself in this way.

……

……

The Witch's Tavern remained somewhat deserted; it was still afternoon, and there was still some time before the tavern officially opened.

Jiang Kehan ​​pushed open the door and went inside, glancing around.

Gu Qingci wasn't there today, but Ruoxin sat behind the counter, looking somewhat troubled at a set of books thicker than a dictionary.

Jiang Kehan ​​approached curiously and saw several dazzling light gold characters on the book cover: "Magic Element: Botany a3 - Recommended Book List".

Who's the kind person to call such a thick book a list?!

Jiang Kehan's lips twitched, as if she saw the pressure on Ruoxin turn into a drooping dark gray mist that kept wrapping around her, so thick that it seemed to condense into pitch-black crystals.

No, Jiang Kehan ​​stared in disbelief as Ruoxin frowned at the "list," casually picked a crystal, put it in her mouth, and chewed it, making a crisp sound.

She couldn't help but rub her eyes, feeling somewhat incredulous.

So this wasn't just my imagination?!

Ruoxin noticed Jiang Kehan's gaze, looked up with a hint of dejection, and upon seeing it was Jiang Kehan, couldn't help but stretch before leaning on the counter.

"Oh, it's Kehan. Should I call her 'store manager' and give you training?"

Jiang Kehan ​​nodded, but looking at the other person's expression, she couldn't help but ask.

"Ruoxin, what are you doing?"

Ruoxin patted her belly naturally and explained to Jiang Kehan.

"Hmm, I'm preparing for the Magic Element Botany A3 exam. Kehan ​​should know what A3 is, right?"

Of course I know that A3 is the full name of the A3 Witch Professor Certificate. Almost every witch has one, which means that witches are true pioneers in a certain sense.

However, the difficulty of A3 is relatively easy compared to the Great Witch. If someone wants to pass the Witch exam at the Intermediate Witch stage, they are generally considered a true genius.

However, the corresponding benefits for A3 students are also incredibly good.

Certificate holders automatically receive professorial honors and can learn all basic spells from level 1 to 6 for free, but they must learn one spell before they can apply for the next.

In addition, there are fixed amounts of high-grade materials and witch points as benefits, as well as the qualification to apply to the witch organization to set up projects and attract investment.

If a student can achieve an A3 level in the Middle Witch exam, then they will have an abundance of resources before reaching the Great Witch level.

As expected of the people at the Witch's Tavern, they all have their own unique qualities.

Jiang Kehan ​​looked at Ruoxin with some admiration. The witch's respect for knowledge was equal to her respect for power, and for the witch, knowledge could truly become a source of personal power.

"I know, but what were you eating just now? What is that crystal?"

Ruoxin scratched her head, then suddenly realized, "You mean this? This is a crystal that re-formed after my magic dissipated. For me, it's like dandruff caused by anxiety."

Uh, you look a bit unusual when you're anxious.

Jiang Kehan ​​looked at Ruoxin with a hint of pity, and couldn't help but think, "Sigh, you've turned the witch into a ghost."

Wait a minute, I think I need to pass some kind of A3 alchemy exam before becoming the Great Witch, otherwise I won't have enough resources to reach that level!

Jiang Kehan ​​suddenly discovered a blind spot. Logically speaking, the witch would go to Gensokyo to collect resources suitable for herself to improve herself.

But she has decided not to go. The best way to quickly and easily access such a vast amount of resources is to obtain an A3 certificate.

Now, Jiang Kehan ​​is starting to get anxious too.

Chapter 145 Staff Lounge

"Well, good luck then."

Jiang Kehan ​​looked away with great courage. What she saw was not Ruoxin, who was about to fall asleep from exhaustion, but her own tragic future.

"Okay, I'll rest for a bit. You can call me if you need anything."

Jiang Kehan ​​interrupted her studies, and Ruoxin's eyes began to blur. She leaned on the counter, her expression turning blissful.

Even the dark gray smog that had been enveloping her turned white, and a rainbow even appeared.

Ah, looking at the little rainbow above the other person's head, Jiang Kehan ​​couldn't help but exclaim: Magic is truly amazing.

I wonder what this rainbow will taste like.

The classic advertising slogan involuntarily popped into her mind: "When you encounter a rainbow, you're set for eating it!"

However, Jiang Kehan ​​had already seen Qin Luoyu behind Ruoxin.

Qin Luoyu crossed her arms in front of her, leaned against the wall, and quietly watched the two of them. When she saw Jiang Kehan ​​looking over, she put her finger to her lips and gently exhaled.

"Shhh."

She smiled and waved to Jiang Kehan, signaling her to come over.

The store manager is quite considerate of others... Jiang Kehan ​​guessed that Qin Luoyu had been standing there for a while, and seeing that the two were having a great time chatting, she didn't disturb them.

Moreover, they didn't scold Ruoxin for sleeping at work; they even told her to be quiet and not disturb her rest.

She would never have dared to dream of having a boss like this before!

After Jiang Kehan ​​tiptoed to Qin Luoyu's side, the other party deliberately lowered her voice, her tone carrying a hint of amusement.

"It seems you two had a good conversation. You can talk to Ruoxin more often in the future; her intelligence might be very helpful to you."

Well, anyone who dares to try to get into A3 at the Middle Witch Academy is either crazy or a genius, and Ruoxin, who is clearly regarded as good by others, belongs to the genius category.

Jiang Kehan ​​nodded. She didn't consider herself a genius with exceptional talent, but she was adept at learning from others' opinions and turning them into her own experience.

She is a genius built upon a foundation of genius!

Hehe, Jiang Kehan ​​tried to distract herself from the bleak future of getting into A3 by praising herself, and then asked with some curiosity.

"I understand, store manager, but what am I supposed to do today?"

The two seemed to be whispering something, standing very close together, and you could see the mist from each other's mouths; they seemed quite intimate.

However, she looked more like an older sister taking care of children, and Jiang Kehan ​​had to look up to meet Qin Luoyu's gaze.

"Let me show you around the drinks first, and I'll also teach you some tips on how to treat guests."

Qin Luoyu naturally took Jiang Kehan's hand, as if she were leading an ignorant child rather than her own employee.

"Your main responsibilities are twofold: first, to prepare drinks according to the guests' requests, since many witches have their own preferences."

Secondly, how to make them happy, so they are willing to vent their emotions here, and at the same time, they will be more willing to support you.

After all, a woman under the influence of alcohol is often at her most emotionally charged.

Qin Luoyu led Jiang Kehan ​​to the corner of the wall, where a special magic array, almost invisible to the naked eye, was inscribed.

"And a cute child like you is the easiest to open the hearts of other witches."

Isn't that very deceptive?

Jiang Kehan ​​felt somewhat ashamed, hoping that the smaller head wasn't controlling the larger one.

Although witches don't have a special desire for children, they still instinctively take care of witches who are like little girls, including dwarfs.

Is this, in a way, Jiang Kehan's special talent?

As if she had thought of something, Qin Luoyu added a sentence before stepping into the special magic circle.

"But remember, never use magic to enhance your charm or open someone's heart. You can only rely on your natural appearance and words."

Upon contact with unknown magic, the witch immediately reverts to her most rational self, becoming slightly wary.

A witch's wariness of unfamiliar magic is ingrained in her very being; after all, only another witch can kill a witch.

This is an instinct they evolved, and also the most solid defense they have on the outside.

Jiang Kehan ​​suddenly realized why the tavern only recruited those with potential, or accomplished witches like Gu Qingci.

In this race where everyone is practically perfect in appearance and each has their own unique beauty, the best way to break down someone's psychological defenses is to get them to take the initiative to make contact.

When you are good enough, the other person will take the initiative to lower their guard and approach you.

This is the only way to help them vent their emotions, instead of keeping them hidden from each other by an invisible distance, and staging a performance of reading moon ripples* leek spirit 6 slender pomegranate seven pull the Wo heart-pulling technique, the art of recognizing people.

"I understand." Jiang Kehan ​​kept Qin Luoyu's words in mind and followed her to stand on the magic circle.

Qin Luoyu nodded in satisfaction, then took out two keys.

"The bartending room and the liquor storage are together, and our staff lounge is downstairs too. Here's the key for you."

She handed one of them to Jiang Kehan ​​and then demonstrated how to use it.

Qin Luoyu pinched the key between her thumb and forefinger, then released it, letting it fall straight down.

Suddenly, as the key passed through an invisible plane, ripples appeared in the surrounding space. Jiang Kehan ​​felt as if she had been scanned by something and couldn't help but look around.

"Don't worry, because the wine cellar is very valuable, it has a double anti-theft system."

Having the key alone isn't enough; a contract must be signed and the information entered into the system before it can be approved.

"How sophisticated!" Jiang Kehan ​​felt relieved after hearing Qin Luoyu's explanation and couldn't help but look at the key in her hand.

The key appears to be made of bronze, and is entirely golden in color, giving it a classic look.

The bottom of the key resembles a snake coiled around a pillar, while the key ring above is engraved with a lion roaring at the snake below.

"Hmm, now I see lions too..." Jiang Kehan ​​thought to herself as she put the key into her personal storage space.

The magic circle emitted a faint white light, and almost instantly, the two appeared in a somewhat ornate hall.

The space is spacious, with a light gold and white color scheme. It features a round table that can seat more than ten people, as well as several small beds placed around it.
