Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 24 Arsonist

While the two of Altaïr were enjoying their afternoon tea, there was the sound of a key turning at the door.

"You have a date?"

Venata raised her eyebrows.

"No, will there be a guest who takes out the key of the owner's house in his pocket?" Altaïr denied, "It should be Sophie next door."

As soon as Altaïr finished speaking, a little girl in a brown linen dress came into the room carrying a large bag of vegetables and sweets.Altaïr greeted in a friendly manner, and at the same time got up to take what she was holding.

"The new dress is so beautiful, Sophie," Altaïr praised, "did you buy it from the tailor's guild?"

"Ah, Mr. Brewster, you are back!" Sophie smiled sweetly, "This dress is second-hand bought from those who run the business. The price of the garment guild has increased recently. We pay Sorry."

The Garment Guild is an organization that exists among textile workers in all parts of Loen, and there are various trade unions similar to it.However, after the trade union demonstrations in the past few years demanded to improve the working conditions of the workers, but were secretly divided and disintegrated by the factory owners, the situation of similar groups became worse.Since the clothing guilds were mainly female workers, they did not participate in the parade at that time, so they were less targeted later and eventually grew stronger.

However, this does not mean that the garment guild can sit back and relax.In fact, under the impact of merchants and caravans of big capitalists from all over the world, garment guilds are gradually losing their control over the market.Although the government enacted some laws on the minimum wage, this did not help the organization of self-employed associations such as garment guilds.After the prices of raw materials were maliciously driven up by factory owners, the garment guilds also had to raise prices to maintain income, and then further lost market share.

"Is this lady your fiancée? Why have you never heard of it before?"

Sophie put the fresh vegetables in her hand on the kitchen floor when she noticed that there was another person in the room.

"Could it be that when you left, Mr. Brewster, you said that you would go back to your hometown to discuss marriage?"

Sophie blinked her big watery eyes and asked Altaïr in an innocent tone.

"That's not the case, what's going on in your head all day, kid." Altaïr cursed with a smile, making a gesture to pinch Sophie's ear, but the other party deftly avoided it. "This is Ms. Venata, she is currently my tenant, right? Yes, the tenant."

"Have you decided to rent out the bedroom on the second floor?" Sophie pretended to be mature and analyzed, "Well, it is true that this can recover part of the cost of buying a house."

It's just that this is the master who eats and drinks for free without paying rent...

Altaïr muttered something in his heart.

"How much money do you have left from the last time I gave you?" Altaïr asked.

"There are still two pounds and eleven pence." Sophie began to pick out the change in her pocket, but was stopped by Altaïr.

"Take the rest of the money as wages, take it back and give it to your family."

Altaïr smiled.

"But, this is too much..."

Sophie hesitated.Her father's wages were only £[-] a week.

"That's all right. There's more than two pounds and eleven pence in the joy of having fresh ingredients and sweets waiting for you when you come home from a long journey."

Altaïr waved his hand, signaling the other party not to care.Sophie agreed, thanked her again and again, and finally left happily.

"You guys are quite popular with children."

Venata went to the hall and took up her cloak, followed by Altaïr.

"Just because I like to spoil them."

Altaïr put on his dark blue waistcoat,

"Let's go, let's go buy your promotion materials, and then buy some cold medicine for myself... Ah Choo!"

Altaïr sneezed loudly.

"Geglan's extraordinary ability is really hell..."

Altaïr complained a few words,

"Stop dawdling and go out."

Neither of them mentioned that Sophie just regarded them as a fiancé couple.

Soon, the two bought the potions and materials they needed in the herbal shop on the adjacent street. In Venata's anticipation, the time soon came to night.

"To be honest, I kind of want to drive you to the sewer for promotion. After all, you are promoting arsonist. I am a little worried about my house."

Altaïr watched Venata put the ingredients one by one on the table, and then lit a fire under the cauldron that belonged to Altaïr.

"With your words, the first fireball after my promotion will definitely hit your face."

Venata said angrily,

"Now you go out and wait for me, I want to concentrate."

"Good good."

Altaïr raised his hands innocently,
"Call me if there is any accident, so that I can come in and rescue my furniture as soon as possible."

Then, without waiting for Venata's attack, Altaïr walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

"It's time to go..."

Venata exhaled, and began to add auxiliary materials into the pot.Since there is no pure water in the materials this time, the fault tolerance rate is actually not high. 10ml of salamander blood is even less than Altaïr's dinner sauce, and it will be easily evaporated, so Venata specially bought nearly 30ml of blood, so that even if the blood is accidentally boiled , she also has a second chance.

However, Venata was obviously very lucky. The addition of auxiliary materials was successful. The cool hydrangea and the hot salamander blood mixed together to form a red paste.

"Next is the main material."

Venata took out the "Arsonist" Extraordinary characteristic from the box, and solemnly added it into the pot, preventing any juice from leaking out.

The fiery spar was like a chunk of marble dropped into acid, gradually dissolving in the salamander's blood.The tumbling medicinal liquid seemed to stagnate for a moment, but in the next second, a blazing flame burst out from his crucible, and the liquid in the cauldron had turned into the color of blood at this time, and the surface was like that in the air. Burning quietly, it is reminiscent of a pirate battle on the stormy sea. The wreckage of the ship burned and sank to the bottom of the sea, and the blood of the crew dyed the sea and the sky blood red.

Although she is not good at divination, Venata's spiritual intuition wisely judged that this is the potion of Hunter Path Sequence 7 "Arsonist"!

"Finally succeeded..."

Venata took out all the liquid in the crucible and poured it into a transparent glass.She held the glass high and looked at the liquid that seemed to be burning.After confirming that her spiritual state had fully recovered from the fierce battle of the previous two days, Venata didn't hesitate anymore, and drank the liquid in the cup in one gulp!
The temperature of the liquid that seemed to be burning was not as high as it looked, and it tasted like a mixture of dozens of strong wines such as Lie Langqi and Helander.

However, the burning sensation it brought to the mouth was stronger than any other kind of wine. Venata felt that what she just drank was not a potion, but a burning flame!If the soaring spirituality at this time hadn't clearly told her that there was no substantial damage to her mouth, she might have rushed out of the door by now, relying on cold water to extinguish the burning flame in her mouth.

Venata twitched involuntarily, the scene in front of her eyes gradually turned red, deep red, light red, sun-like red, blood-like red, countless color blocks piled up in front of her eyes, like a never-ending The battlefield is divided into deep or shallow areas by new and old blood.

A huge flow of information poured into Venata's mind, turning into fireworks that bloomed one after another. The veins on her forehead bulged, and her pretty face became extremely ferocious at this moment.

However, this is not an unbearable state for Venata.Although the burning pain in her body was far beyond the range that ordinary people could resist, Venata used this pain to confirm her own existence, and saved her spiritual body from falling into that eternal battlefield.

Gradually, the mysterious symbol that symbolized her past body was burned away by the spiritual fire of the potion, leaving only a charred residue.Venata seized the opportunity and let the spirit sink down, sinking into the debris.The scorched black part peeled off with a crackling sound, revealing the new, white and powerful body underneath.

The burning sensation gradually dissipated, Venata gently raised her arm, and put it in front of her eyes for a closer look.

The skin on her arm had already carbonized and peeled off, revealing the delicate new muscle texture underneath.Venata exerted a little force, and those residues fell to the ground like soot.

From now on, she has officially stepped into the threshold of the Middle Sequence, becoming the Sequence 7 "Arsonist"!
Venata flexed and stretched her ten fingers slightly, and a crimson fireball ignited out of thin air in her hand, constantly changing its shape with her thoughts.

After I was promoted to be an arsonist, that is, "Fire Mage", I finally possessed a truly extraordinary ability... Venata thought happily.

Arsonists, known as fire mages in ancient times, their core ability is the control of flames.Now, Venata can gather fireballs in her palm and condense them. The explosive power depends on the amount of infused spirituality and the degree of condensation; she can also transform flames into animals and weapons, and can automatically track enemies after throwing them; in addition, she It can also cover the body surface with a layer of flame armor that can only burn the enemy, and even the whole person turns into a stream of flames, moving in one direction at high speed.

In addition, her physical fitness has also been greatly improved compared to Sequence 8, and her spirituality has expanded to more than three times the previous one.For weapons made of steel, the degree of control has also been correspondingly improved.Venata has met the previous Sequence 8 "Weapon Master" of the Zimag Party. He is good at using various fighting techniques and weapons, but now Venata is confident that she can surpass the other party in the mastery of most weapons.

"This is the Middle Sequence Extraordinary, and this is the 'Fire Mage'..."

Venata let out a slight breath, and opened the door of the room with a smile on her face. She wanted to ask Altaïr for a glass of wine to celebrate.Maybe, have a supper?
