Witch Forest Friends Club

Twelve years ago, a certain caravan leader who served the academy spent seven silver talents to buy her, whose parents had died in this life, from her uncle.

Relying on his clever mind and tenacious and self-disciplined mind, after studying hard for five years, An Jiaye obtained the Primordial Badge certified by the Academy, and was promoted from a humble apprentice to a full-fledged apprentice witch. Chance for your own destiny.

In the eyes of others, if the lame girl from a closed fishing village hadn't been sheltered by the great witch, she would only be a village girl rolling in the mud when she grew up. She is so lucky to be able to escape her lowly fate.

She was also crazy about witch culture for a while in her previous life, and she often imagined that she would go to Hogwarts to study, and live a majestic life of punching Snape, kicking Voldemort, and pulling Dumbledore's beard for nothing.

But things backfired. The relaxed and cheerful painting style of "Harry Potter" and "Little Witch Academia" she likes has nothing to do with "Stargazing Academy".

But as long as she walks out of Galantia's barrier of earth veins, it is a chaotic world where the fog swallows everything, and survives the period of psychological breakdown after crossing, what else can she expect.

As Mrs. Stella's property, even though she is out of gregarious and autistic, Anjaye at least has a foothold in the academy.

The little witch hummed the ballad "Scarborough Fair" and walked along the path through the misty woods and crystalline stone bushes, and came to a nursery where the deer walked and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

The nursery is developed along the rolling hilly terrain. Among the many kinds of magnificent plants, there are witchcraft scarecrows swinging in the wind. You can even hear the harps and singing voices of naughty goblins from time to time in the swaying miscanthus waves. Voice.

This is the medicinal herb field that belongs to the alchemy classroom and is taken care of by the student servants. The raw materials for potions commonly used in the school palace are supplied here.

Naturally, a dozen or so apprentice servants cannot manage a medicine field with a radius of hundreds of hectares. The main laborers in the nursery are not low-efficiency tools like goblins or sub-human slaves.

Flower demons, stone spirits, and earth puppets, several natural spirit groups sheltered by witches, lived in an orderly manner near the nursery.

Compared with the exquisitely designed alchemy demon servants in the academy, stone spirits and earth puppets can't do fine work, but they are powerful and tireless. They work diligently on heavy tasks such as plowing, planting, watering and fertilizing, etc. The little flower demon is an excellent gardener who can drive away pests, birds and animals, help pollinate herbs, and protect plants from diseases.

Because of the magical effect of natural witchcraft, the nursery has a good weather all year round, and with this group of lovely neighbors, it has the beauty of a fairy tale fairyland.

Anjaye followed the field ridge into the depths of the nursery, and under the hills covered by crystal stones, there was a huge mushroom house buried, which was her destination.

The girl took out a bunch of starstone keys engraved with runes from the witch's robe, and opened the strong sealed wooden door.

Pushing open the door and entering, a burst of complex dried herbal aroma comes to the nostrils.

The layout of the house is similar to the Hobbit's Bag End, with a bit of homely warmth in the mess.

In the room, there are wooden tables, chairs, bookcases and food cabinets, as well as potion cabinets and magic crucibles for potion preparation, and a small wooden bed is placed by the window.Although the sparrow room is small and well-equipped, it was originally a night watchman's hut for guarding the nursery, but it was occupied by Anjaye as a studio.

The little witch is always busy here until it is dark, and when she is tired, she will lie down on the wooden bed—the wool quilt softened by witchcraft is fluffy and soft, and the pillows made of vanilla fibers emit a light fragrance, and the whole bed sleeps It is very comfortable and can bring good dreams all night.

Opening the hidden floor door in the corner of the office, Anjaye went down to the basement of the mushroom house.

This is a spacious storage area. The magic lights hanging on the beams silently illuminate the piles of wooden barrels filled with mushrooms of different shapes. There is also a cart track built on the ground. It is connected to a closed thick gate, leading to the other side of the hill.

Anjaye took off the bird's beak gas mask hanging on the wall and put it on, then walked down the sloping tunnel deep in the basement, and stepped into another pit that was surprisingly large. From here, the environment began to become humid .

The stone spirits who dug this pit are excellent civil engineering teams who are born to use "Earth Resonance".After decades of continuous excavation and expansion, a complex and spacious tunnel network was opened up, connecting dozens of caves, large and small.

Looking around, there are mushrooms, mushrooms and mushrooms in the cave.

In the central area of ​​each cave, there are huge star stone dendrites, shaped like intertwined tree roots.The starstone veins that go deep into the cave are the main light source underground, emitting soft and gorgeous cold light, providing magic nutrients for the growth of the mushrooms, and also subtly changing the biological properties of the mushrooms.

The entire mushroom cultivation pit is Anjiaye's site.

When she was young, she just entered the academy. She neither showed excellent spellcasting talent nor was she crippled. She was worried that she would be kicked out by the witches as a waste of idle food. Not long after, she chose to grow mushrooms after careful consideration, and became the "Mushroom Girl" among the other apprentices.

(How can a witch not grow mushrooms? Anyone who likes mushrooms is not a bad person.)

Chapter 4 Future Fungus Witch

(Mushrooms have three benefits, tonic, medicine, and fullness)

Anjaye and Mushroom formed an indissoluble bond, of course there is an opportunity.

Compared with the native forest witches in the south, the academic witches in the north advocate the study of astrology and the way of star stones, and Mrs. Stella, who was born in the academy, is an expert in astrological ritual witchcraft. Most of the witches who wrote the legend were advocates of the Stella school—this also caused the alchemy discipline, which originated from natural witchcraft, to be marginalized in the academy.

At present, among the seven instructors under the Great Witch who have the qualifications to open large classrooms, there is not even one who specializes in alchemy. The management and teaching of the alchemy classroom is usually only done by an old witch who studied with the previous alchemy instructor when she was young. Concurrent role——The old witch is a native of the peninsula, and she was born as an authentic forest school herbal witch. In addition to her advanced age, she is basically just waiting for death in the academy, and the alchemy apprentices who follow her are generally not taken seriously.

But potions have to be made, and alchemy equipment and facilities have to be maintained.

An Jiaye, who was identified as only a third-rate talent, was thrown into the alchemy classroom as a helper.

As an illiterate primary school servant, she worked hard to make up for cultural lessons, and within six months she had mastered the ancient imperial Fanagram and mathematics system used by witches.With a solid basic knowledge of mathematics and science, and modern scientific thinking, she quickly became a master in alchemy, and became the right-hand man of the old witch. The daily operation of the alchemy classroom.

Even by the modern moral standards of the earth, the old witch is a good person, and has provided a lot of help for Anjaye's growth.The Mushroom Cave was the old witch's lifelong painstaking effort, and Anjaye volunteered to take care of it.

Compared with the nursery greenhouse where herbs are cultivated on the ground, the environment for growing mushrooms is dark and humid. Except for Anjiaye, no apprentice is willing to stay in the cave with dirty snakes, rats and maggots. This is her other nickname "earth" The origin of the mouse".

Dozens of burrows add up, and the space is as large as a Mario game map, and there are hundreds of mushrooms planted in different categories.

It is naturally difficult to manage such a large territory with only a crippled girl in Anjiaye. Fortunately, the old witch left behind a reliable helper.

Anjaye looked around twice around the entrance of the cave, and soon found two mushroom caps, one red and one blue, dotted with white spots, a bit like a giant Amanita muscaria.Immediately the little witch rang the witchcraft handbell.

Accompanied by a violent ground tremor, two large mushrooms crawled up slowly from the soil, and thick hands and feet emerged from the mushroom pillars.

Mushrooms are perfect——

That's what Anjaye thought when he saw them for the first time.

Under the bright umbrella hat, there is a plump bucket body, the tonnage of which the scale will burst when you step on it - they have small round eyes and a big toothless mouth, which are combined into a similar kaomoji (·--- ) same expression, looks simple and honest and cute.

Two mushroom giants, one red and one blue, shook their heads and stretched their waists, their faces still full of sleepiness, turning into two walls of flesh to surround Anjaye under the terrible shadow brought about by the height difference.

"Bill, Lance."

This is the name Anjaye gave to the two mushroom spirits—they are so muscular that they are like devils among mushrooms, but they have an honest and obedient personality, and they feel safe by their side.

Anjaye tried to express it as simple and understandable as possible, pointing to the woven basket road piled up in the corner of the cave entrance.

"Every hole, every kind of mushroom that grows, pick some for me."

Bill and Lance nodded, and let out an innocent cry of "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" With the start of the exciting carnival, all the mushroom heads glowed with the same color as the star stone.

Two big mushrooms led a group of lively and flexible little mushroom spirits, turned their heads and marched deep into the cave. Along the way, mushroom spirits continued to join their large army. The little mushroom spirits were responsible for picking, colorful fungi followed by Like rain, they were continuously thrown into the big baskets carried by the leaders.

Unlike the nursery that uses flower demons, stone spirits, and clay puppets as labor, the servants placed in the mushroom cave are exactly these mushroom people. As an almost extinct indigenous race hiding in the depths of the sunken tree sea, they have disappeared from the human world for a long time .But the old witch has contracted a small mushroom tribe, and her family has shared joys and sorrows for centuries. Bill and Lance are the patriarch of this generation, and the other is the shaman in the clan.

They are strong enough to wrestle with clay puppets, their bodies are as strong as steel, and they have witchcraft and poison. After being domesticated, they are reliable gardeners and guards.

After Anjaye sent the mushroom man to work, he began to inspect the ventilation ducts and constant temperature and moisturizing devices of the mushroom cave.

The rune circles are functioning normally, and the growth of the fungi looks good.

There are spore clusters visible to the naked eye floating in the cave, and there are thick fermented bacteria beds everywhere. Different types of mushroom fields are divided in an orderly manner, and there are densely packed mushroom sticks and round wooden piles, making full use of the vast three-dimensional space , like a mushroom museum and production factory——

This vibrant scene is naturally inseparable from the efforts of Anjaye.

Mushroom sticks are made of hardwood chips mixed with starstone fragments specially selected by Anjaye and the old witch. Blessing witchcraft and composting are applied regularly, coupled with the subtle infiltration of starstone magic elements, the mushrooms have been reproduced from generation to generation. The genes are constantly optimized, and the yield And the growth rate is outrageous.

After gaining the trust of the old witch to take over the Mushroom Cave, Anjaye has successively doubled the size of the cave over the years, and has also cultivated more than ten kinds of magic mushrooms with different functions.

Sleeping Mushroom, Bubble Mushroom, Electric Storage Mushroom, Screaming Mushroom...

These strange fungal creatures contain the profound wisdom accumulated by witches for thousands of years.

But compared to the gorgeous astrological rituals or the powerful black witchcraft, dealing with dirty mushrooms all day long is naturally not liked by the noble and noble witches—the little girls in the academy who have their eyes above the top In their eyes, it is a trick that only village witches like to play, no different from mud legs that are planed in the ground—and Anjaye, who is worthless and disabled, has no possibility of marrying into a wealthy family by relying on witchcraft. He can curl up in a dark hole and play with mushrooms all his life, and die of mold all over his body.

But for Anjaye, the little girls are too small, or limited by historical limitations, it is not clear how much possibility exists for this colorful little cutie full of caves.

Biology is a discipline that changes the world.Farming is a career that promotes the progress of civilization. Fungi, as a long-established economic crop, have no less influence on human civilization than cotton, tea, and sugarcane in the eyes of Anjaye, let alone mushrooms in the fantasy world. It has all sorts of incredible effects.

Looking at history, what she cultivated is a mushroom that grows vigorously, and the benefit will be all human beings.

After Anjaye checked the condition of the mushroom cave, Bill and Lance also came back with two big baskets each.They brought the mushrooms they picked to the storage room, poured them into the medicine tank for harmless treatment, regardless of whether they were poisonous or not, and skillfully instructed the younger brothers to roughly classify the mushrooms and stuff them into small wooden barrels with iron hoops.

Anjaye turned up the brightness of the magic lamp, picked up a quill pen and a thick sheepskin notebook, and the little mushroom people lined up in front of her, holding up the mushrooms they had picked out, and showing them to the little witch as if they were offering treasures. It is convenient for her to record the characteristics and development status of different mushrooms.

Because of the "swift technique" applied to his right hand, the quill pen in Anjaye's hand shook like a fast-forward camera at [-] times the speed—whatever thought was in his mind was recorded in black and white in the next moment, By the way, he even drew a sketch for the newly bred new species of mushrooms.

After finishing the day's work with ease, Anjaye picked out a barrel of edible fungi, swung the staff to apply UFO to the barrel, and the barrel floated beside her.After the girl waved goodbye to the mushroom people, she climbed the stairs and returned to the office.

The girl first added water to the magic crucible, then turned on the fire and waited for the water to boil, then lay down in front of the desk, and began to sort out the notes and inspirations that kept popping up like bubbles in boiling water.

Whenever she sits alone in the cabin and studies, she feels relieved.

The thick books and training notes piled up on the table, surrounding the girl, recorded the growth history of a magical mushroom expert.

Just as the naming of species has its own unique scientific name, the witchcraft of witches is also represented by complex and profound rune imprints—if we say that the ancient imperial Fara language used by witches to write and communicate, its status is equivalent to that of Latin on Earth , the runes used in casting spells are the unified language recognized by the origin of the world, which is similar to the concept of "speaking spirit" that speaks out the law - it needs to be understood by the spell caster and turned into a part of personal cognitive existence.

An Jiaye currently recognizes a lot of runes, but they are integrated into Gnosis and take root. There are less than [-] combinations of runes that can be used freely. A gifted student like Marshall is said to be able to use more than fifty rune combinations proficiently.

Coupled with the fact that he was judged to be insulated from summoning demons, it is not surprising that An Jiaye would be looked down upon by a group of younger girls in the academy.

But if the east is not bright and the west is bright, there are more ways than difficulties.

In his previous life, as a librarian with a background in history and obsessed with natural history, An Jiaye studied dialectical materialism and practiced the minds of Marxist and Leninists.

If idealism cannot be relied on, then rely on materialism.Ten years of deep cultivation in the field of mushrooms - the unique skills and buff bonuses brought to Anjaye are rare and valuable.She grows mushrooms, which truly unifies personal struggles with the cause of the historical process.

Yes, she, Miss An, really can't summon demons.

But this does not mean that she is a waste. On the contrary, there is a secret behind it, which has been carefully hidden for 12 years, and no one in the whole academy knows about it.

The day before the time travel, in order to observe the rare meteor shower in the century, Ms. An went to the outskirts to set up a tent for the night, but was hit by a meteor into another world.

And that meteor is not a real meteorite, as the chief culprit of her time travel, it is still lurking in the depths of her soul to this day.

Demonology is a difficult and complicated subject.

The classification of demons alone has given countless researchers a lot of trouble - apart from classifications based on population, shape, ability, structure, and food culture, there are still many strange and weird guys among demons.

Among the demons, the most difficult to deal with is the "concept" demon. Usually, there is only one "concept" demon in hell, and among the "concept" demons, the "origin" demon that is bound to the original power of hell is the most powerful. Difficult to deal with.

The hell plane is an ancient origin plane connected to the infinite universe. As long as the gate of the plane happens to be opened, demons have countless ways to sneak into other worlds.

Combining Anjaye's theory with reality, he boldly speculated that the unknown energy body disguised as a meteor came from hell.

The guy hiding in her body is still sleeping, and its existence is very secretive. At least the routine inspection at the time of admission could not find any signs—but as Anjaye grew up, she sensed that a part of her soul slowly appeared. contract--

That is exactly the hell contract repeatedly emphasized by Mr. Bode.

The existence of the contract strongly repelled her from summoning other demons, so that An Jiaye was still a polished commander after ten years of demonology knowledge.

But she didn't lose at all, it's better to say she won the jackpot.

Most of the content of the contract written in hell language has not been fully deciphered.

The key demon's real name on the hell contract is still a mysterious mosaic in Anjaye's cognition, but the "title" of the "originator" is clearly written at the beginning of the contract.

The origin of the devil, it is recognized in history that every growth potential has a devil-level existence.

According to the content of the contract that has been interpreted so far, throwing away those inscrutable metaphysical definitions, the popular saying is that the "demon" in Anjaye's body is still an egg-but as long as the egg hatches, it may destroy the world. Yes, literal destruction.

If Anjaye hadn't gained the knowledge of witches, An Jiaye would have been just a lame village girl in this life, so in order to survive in troubled times, she might be forced to blindly gamble everything and become a servant of demon power.

But knowledge changed her fate, and Miss Anjaye, who became a witch, was not born in a chaotic and evil camp after all, and she had no miserable experiences since she was a child, which led to psychological distortion and wanted to take revenge on society, so she just wanted to learn how to get rid of that hell as soon as possible. The contract is brought under control.

According to the history of demonology secretly handed down in the school, compared with the contract of ordinary demons, the contract of the origin demon is fundamentally different, but it is unclear which aspect is different—there is a gap in her contract that has not been filled in. There is also room for bargaining on some terms, as long as the source of hell agrees, then the origin demon will hatch at the moment the contract is completed.

If she wants to make good use of this time-travel cheat, she will have to make a fortune in silence. When she can fully understand the hell contract and wait until the devil's egg hatches, she can do whatever she wants.

In a word, before the full level, keep a low profile.

Especially not to attract the attention of the master of the school.

However, the knowledge related to the origin of demons is too precious, and perhaps it is only possible to master it if you come into contact with a witch at the level of Mrs. Stella.

It really made student An feel conflicted.

The girl covered the book and sighed, staring blankly outside the mushroom house.After a busy day, it’s almost dusk. It’s rare that the fog isn’t thick today. The twilight coming in through the window reflects a graceful and sad face, and the fire casts a layer of light and shadow on the thin lens, just like the act of “thinking” itself charming.

Anjaye rubbed his empty stomach, dragged his lame legs away from the workbench, and approached the boiling cauldron.

Before discovering the truth of the originating demon, mushrooms and potions are the foundation of her life.

Occasionally, the little witch would wonder about what kind of demons she would hatch.

Thinking that her title that will be resounding in the world in the future is likely to be "Mushroom Witch", "Mushroom Witch" or "Cripple Anjaye", I have to pin my hope on being able to cultivate a majestic big devil so that I can change her name .

The girl picked some edible mushrooms and threw them into the pot, opened the pantry and searched for a while, added sliced ​​smoked sausage and bread, and cooked a big pot of herb meat and mushroom soup.She was also like a sinister country witch, adding a lot of strange potions and seasoning powders to the soup.

These specially added ingredients are of great benefit to the supplement of magic essence and body development.

The girl picked up the spoon, took a sip of the hot soup, and smacked her lips in satisfaction.

Just when An Jiaye was about to have a delicious meal, there was a slight movement from behind.

She immediately put down the bowl and grabbed the staff, turned her head and asked questions full of vigilance.

"who is it?"
