Candy Wizard and Travel

When I opened my eyes in the morning, I turned over, confused because of anemia, and kept looking at the woman holding the quilt on me.

When she reacted, Xidi's heart stopped.

The distance between them was only half a hand's width, and she could hear her breathing, and the moist breath mixed with the smell of herbs hit her face.

The teacher is still asleep.

Realizing this, Xidi's heartbeat was suppressed a little bit.

He didn't know what he wanted to do, so he just stared at the teacher's face, saving this scene as material for writing.

In her sleep, Fran looked particularly serious, with straight eyebrows, soft and curly black hair, beautiful facial features, skin as white as jade, and a soft curve of her neck like a swan.

Up to the neck is the limit of Xidi's self-control, and she dare not look down any further.

Even without the beautification of memory, in his opinion, Fran is still a beautiful beauty. She is always lively and changeable, making it difficult to grasp the distance, and there is rarely a time when she can observe quietly.

The teacher is a slacker, so...it's okay to watch for a while, right?

With unknown feelings, Xi Di, who recovered from anemia symptoms, still didn't move and just stared.

——Until a certain squirrel came to try his luck and jumped out of the window to disturb him.

……

Breakfast is fried egg toast and miso soup from Japan - I just saw the recipe a while ago, and the taste is quite satisfactory. The miso is a bit salty, and only a little is added. It can also be called vegetable tofu clear soup.

It would be nice to have a bowl of lighter soup in the morning, and I also grilled a salmon for Fran.

His own portion also had cream puffs, which contained very little sugar compared to usual, but for some reason, it felt like the sugar was already overflowing.

"..."

A witch wearing pajamas and holding a pillow and quilt walked quietly through the living room, stepping on the carpet almost silently. If she put on a black robe, she would become the big black mouse from the last metaphor.

It's a pity that Xidi's position was facing her and she said hello.

"Good morning, teacher, your breakfast is ready."

Fran's body stiffened.

"Morning, good morning!"

"The hot water for washing is ready. I cooked the grilled fish. If it is cooked slower, the skin will not be crispy."

"it is good."

I don’t know what kind of mental preparation she did. After washing up quickly, Fran sat next to Hidi—opposite where she usually sat.

Xidi didn't have any objections to this, because he felt a little guilty and dared not look at the teacher.

Although if you haven't been discovered, you haven't done it yet, but deep down in your heart, there is still something...

wait a minutes.

Thinking of the dozen different models behind the bookshelf, the photos plastered all over the bookshelf, and the three volumes of "Fran's Adventures" in each edition, Xi Di suddenly felt that there was no need to feel too guilty, because she had already done worse things. Once he was discovered, he would have to change from a "favorite disciple" to a "traitor" in Fran's eyes.

As an adult, Fran doesn't have that good ability to adjust. Now that she thinks about running to her student room last night, she still feels her cheeks are burning, hotter than the fish under her chopsticks.

No, why are we getting along even more awkwardly now?

Fran once again used her wise mind.

"Hidi."

"teacher?"

"I think communication is an ability that a magician must possess, so I decided to teach you communication skills today."

"Hey," Xidi took a sip of soup and looked over curiously, "It's quite sudden."

"After all, this is my first time as a teacher. I learned from my master. I teach whatever comes to mind."

Putting down the empty soup bowl, Xidi put her chin in her hands and looked over expectantly, "Hmm, so teacher, what's the content?"

"The content is—"

There is no more to say.

Fran raised her wand, and the magic spelled out characters in the air——

"Communicate without talking."

"?"

Taking out her wand, Xidi drew a symbol.

Xi Di has never heard of this method. It just doesn't speak, and it also has sign language. It can also be written like now. What is the deep meaning?

never heard of that?That's right, because it was written by Fran.

"What about that..."

When lying, Fran's eyes would wander, and she would cover it up by drinking soup, while she continued writing with a wand in one hand.

"It's like this. People often have a special impression of someone because of their words. There are countless ways to deceive. The purpose of not speaking is to allow you to learn to analyze information other than words, which is to communicate more efficiently."

Xidi nodded.

"I see, I see."

And speaking of it, if you directly use magic to express what you want to say, this communication is actually faster than dialogue, but it is a pity that you can't hear the sound——

sack.

Xi Di thought of a possibility.

If there is no dialogue and tone, how can people confirm whether the information stated by a person is true or not?

The answer is observation, more detailed observation, down to the micro-expressions on the face, every subconscious movement of the eyes, hands and feet.

In other words, Fran was testing his observation skills.

People often say that "there is something in the words", but if you don't even say the "words", it would be extremely inconvenient to communicate.

Xidi raised her head and stared at the teacher's face seriously.

It’s really not for selfish reasons, it’s just to hone your observation skills.

——Why is he staring at me?

Fran gave a random excuse and responded with a slightly stiff and gentle smile.

Breakfast ended in a hurry.

……

The experimental animals ordered yesterday will be delivered before noon.

Through omnipotent magic modulation, mature animals have very average qualities and similar physiques. The differences are so small that they will hardly affect the results of magic experiments. When studying certain magics, magicians often buy a batch and conduct repeated experiments. Contrast.

Fran ordered lizards, white rats, pigeons and rabbits.

At present, there should be no use for the size of a rabbit, but you have to try it first. If the rabbit suddenly suffers from heatstroke in this weather, you can also let Xidi practice magic medicine, such as thirteen precious medicinal materials to rescue it.

Chapter 72: Complex communication

Before noon the things were delivered to the forest.

"Squeak..."

The mice and rats were placed in two separate cages. The lizards were not very active during this season, but the rabbits and pigeons were quite energetic.

"Are you Miss [Stardust Witch] Fran? Please be sure to place your order. All animals are guaranteed to be free of disease and mutilation. The mice have taken sleeping herbs. If it is a delicate experiment, please wait for more than ten hours. If possible, please go alone. If left alone, they may become a little agitated in unfamiliar surroundings.”

The delivery boy expertly explained.

After confirming with magic, Fran nodded and paid the final fee.

"It's work."

"Thank you for your patronage. If you need anything, we are always welcome."

……

In order to house these little things, Fran built a simple little house under the tree for subsequent experiments and future potion teachings. After all, commonly used potion materials such as lizard stems, wool, and spider eyeballs were mixed. , the smell is very horrible, even if there is magic to clean it, I can't stand it.

"The mouse still needs to wait ten hours, so let's practice with the lizard first."

It was time for her research to begin.

Not much knowledge about the soul field has been spread. What can be confirmed is that insects and most plants do not have souls or it is almost impossible to observe them. Even if there are rare exceptions, the souls that can be observed are no more than the size of a grain of rice. She Fulan is not a miniature sculpture. Master, so it must be at least a living creature the size of a mouse or lizard.

The materials collected yesterday still need to be processed, which will probably start tomorrow morning. Before then, she only has two or three quantities in hand that she can try.

The field of contract magic is so far-reaching that it must be included in the mid-term exam in the textbook. Now her progress is on the first page.

First, the soul is observed.

……

Xidi is looking through Fran's notes and ancient books. After reading these, he can help Fran. Otherwise, if he is asked to participate now, it will be more troublesome for the two of them to cooperate than Fran alone.

But... I always felt that Teacher Fran didn't just want him to read.

Xidi put down the book and held her chin in one hand, feeling slightly ups and downs. She turned over the white pages. In a daze, the dark characters turned into familiar eyebrows. Her eyebrows were as curved as the moon, revealing the bright smile he was familiar with.

"Does it look good?"

——It was like hearing such a sound.

"woo woo woo woo……"

Shaking her head vigorously, the hazy illusion disappeared from her eyes. Xidi covered her face with her hands, feeling that she had done something wrong.

It was very rare that he couldn't read the book when there were no external objects to disturb him.

Outside the window, the wind did not move and the leaves did not move.

……

"An unexpected failure."

A fire burned the lifeless lizard to ashes, and Fran sadly recorded the data in her notes.

It's so difficult just to make the soul appear. There is a problem with the ratio of materials. The souls of these lizards are about the size of a finger. They are either pulled out quickly and die instantly, or they are hidden in the body and can only be seen in the light, or part of them is pulled out and falls apart. .

If the lizards alone are so difficult, what should we do with the rats, pigeons, and rabbits in the future? How can we not make them distressed?

The association has collected and destroyed most of the information about the soul, so it is so difficult to start over now. The books in her hand are all old antiques. She usually enjoys reading them. If she really follows the instructions, she will make mistakes many times. The hypotension is almost cured.

Speaking of associations…

Fran pulled out a piece of manuscript paper and started writing a letter, which was exactly what Xidi mentioned before about the Beauty Village.

Generally speaking, the association only cares about magicians and monsters, but it can only take care of a little bit. A big family and a big business means there are a lot of things to take care of.

If there is a problem with an important trade route in a certain area, there is no need for the association to pay. The local people will directly raise money to make arrangements - like the thieves Xidi encountered before; or it will be profitable, such as certain monsters happen to occupy the area. The origin of precious materials; the last thing is a loss-making business for charity, such as the mutation in the remote forest. Sorry, we can't do it. Let's put up a sign to detour.

Unfortunately, Beauty Village is the last one. We have to consider the impact. If the impact is bad, it might be able to fool the people passing by. If it is not famous, just leave it alone.

According to the disciples, a thanksgiving ceremony is held once every six months, and only two people can be eaten in a year. If we follow the normal process, whether we can be ranked in the queue after ten years is a question.

But this is not a reason to let it go. Fran is a witch who knows how to adapt. There happens to be someone in the association, so there is no need to use it in vain. At least let the association issue a warning document to the local area.

"Well, that's it."

Juanxiu's handwriting filled the manuscript paper. Finally, after thinking about it, she added another sentence:

"I have recently accepted a disciple. You can come and have a look when you have time."

Accepting a disciple is a grand matter, but in their lineage... there is an unreliable master, so she and Sheila will not pay as much attention to it as other witches. If Sheila accepts a disciple, they may have to see each other every year. I only mention it when I think of it.

This time it was just right.

and--

Fran stroked her beautiful black hair and looked out the window.

She really wanted to introduce her disciple to people she knew well. That child had such a brilliance that people couldn't help but show off.

……

After finishing the experiment and delivering the letters, Fran still had to step into the cabin until noon.

Fortunately, with her intelligence, she didn't have to speak at least today, so she wouldn't say anything weird out of shame.
