Candy Wizard and Travel

Xidi didn't dare to look any further, so she slipped out lightly and tucked the teacher into bed.

……

Still want to try magic.

Use the simplest fire magic to heat water.

There was freshly received cold water in the tub. Xi Di held out her longest middle finger, carefully reached in, and mobilized her magic power——

hum~

The huge magic power runs smoothly, like the interlocking gears in a clock. There is an inexplicable sense of order and beauty, as if you can hear the neat harmony.

As soon as I was distracted for a moment, a cloud of water vapor appeared in front of my eyes.

"hiss!"

When her fingers felt the heat through the magic power, Xidi came to her senses and quickly retracted her hand.

The water in the wooden basin is about one-tenth less, and the water marks on the edge are extremely conspicuous. If it is left for another ten seconds, the basin will evaporate.

"That can't be done..."

In the past, he had to rely on magic to fry steaks, bake bread for desserts, and even prepare hot water for washing. Now that he can't control the accuracy, it's a disaster!

Eat some sugar to calm down first.

He took out a handful of soft candies and hard candies from the candy box and stuffed them into his mouth. Sugar was a substance he needed for thinking and could calm him down.

First, list down the things that cannot be done without magic, and then sort them by priority. If the problem is bigger, go directly to the teacher for help.

Thinking like this, Xidi took out his notebook and started arranging it.

The first is that you cannot make desserts. Some desserts require very delicate heat, and the accuracy of existing cooking utensils is too low, which is very fatal.

Fortunately, I just added the day before yesterday that if the teacher eats normally and doesn't sneak any food in the middle of the night, it can last for a week.

——Must return to normal within a week!At least be proficient in fire magic!

Hidi made up her mind.

Besides, there's nothing important.

The cleaning magic can be eliminated and replaced by bathing and regular cleaning. If there are particularly troublesome stains, call the teacher.

When traveling, the skills of riding a broom have little to do with magic power - as long as you don't speed up, regular flying is not a problem. Once additional magic power is injected, the surge in magic power may burst the broom, so you need to be careful.

If he were in Clock Country or Doll Country, he would probably have a huge headache at this time, but after a few months with Fran, Xidi has basically become accustomed to a life that does not rely entirely on magic.

……

"Eh? Then there's no way to make dessert? It's a big crisis, Xiao Xidi."

As expected of his teacher, he immediately focused his attention on the food.

Fran frowned, scooped up a spoonful of potato stew and stuffed it into her mouth, savoring it carefully, "Does this mean that all the food now is made by Xiao Xidi? Oh, I feel a special feeling. Fine……"

"I have done this in the past," the disciple interrupted her gourmet act, "I just need to pay more attention to the heat, so I chose a stew that does not test the fineness."

"Tsk."

The bread was left over from the day before yesterday, and frankly it was a little hard, but soaked in the soup and filled with mashed potatoes full of rich beef flavor, it still felt wonderful in the mouth.

This was the last bread, and Fran felt extremely desolate at the thought of having to eat only food from the street in the next few days.

"There is no other way," she made up her mind and waved her hand, "Xiao Xidi, let the teacher tutor you again!"

Xi Di silently wiped the soup off her face and glanced at the fork in Fran's hand.

"teacher--"

"Sorry I was wrong!"

……

While eating, Fran noticed some small changes in her disciple. They were so subtle that she wouldn't have been able to notice them if she hadn't just looked at him in a daze yesterday morning.

First of all, her hair has grown a bit longer, probably to imitate her own style, and her left eye is completely invisible. The already smooth white hair has a soft glow, giving it a feeling of being too silvery.

It is speculated that it is a side effect of the magic attached to it. Just like the ginkgo tree in the tree house, it is actually less than 30 years old and has become so prosperous due to the birth of magic. The same is true for the magician's hair and nails.

Then the skin became smoother.

As the saying goes, if you don't sleep at [-] o'clock, it's shameless, and if you don't sleep at all, it's life. Fran, who often stays up late at night, is a witch after all - a woman.When it is not troublesome, she will specially prepare magic potions every once in a while to maintain her hair and skin. Otherwise, in more than ten years, she will become an old witch in fairy tales.

The child's already smooth skin now has a porcelain texture. If he sat still, he would probably be regarded as some kind of doll.

The last point is rather subtle. It was only when the disciple took the initiative to mention it some time ago that she could think of it now.

Attractive.

A strange attraction that makes you not want to look away.

……

Problems must be solved in time, especially when it comes to magic. The original "rehabilitation training" was put on hold, and Xidi came to the teacher's room to undergo a comprehensive physical examination.

A mess of instruments and materials are placed in convenient locations.

Fran looked at the crystal in her hand against the light. The magic power stored in it was different from the regular blue. Some of it was leaning toward purple, and more than one-third of the purple was green.

"The purple color is probably the effect of Xiao Xidi's monster bloodline. There is too much original magic power."

She changed the angle and judged accurately.

"The preliminary inference is that the magic power absorbed during recovery is too much, and it has not been purified for the time being. Xiao Xidi's physique is very special. Normal humans cannot preserve the original magic power. Well, maybe even the magic skills are affected, which will lead to the change. It’s extremely difficult to control...

Judging from this ratio, it is expected that the 'impurities' will disappear within a week. Xiao Xidi, leave it to the teacher to go out this week. In your current state... you may be pestered by ordinary people, regardless of gender. "

Just thinking about it made Xidi feel her scalp numb.

"I see."

"And one more thing," Fran handed Hidi's wand over, "Your wand is about to break. Is the spare one still working? If not, the teacher will make one for you."

"Still... the spare one is a few years old, so it's not very convenient." Xidi was about to say it was fine, but immediately changed her mind after hearing the second half of the sentence, and stiffly changed her words, "Then I'll trouble you, teacher."

There were very few serious requests from her disciples. Fran showed a helpful smile, raised her hand and poked her disciple's forehead, imitating what he said some time ago:

"I really can't help you."

……

That wand was naturally worn out after releasing magic on the scale of an ice storm.

The raw materials are good, but the break-in time is too short. Usually, a wand needs to be used for several years until it is completely familiar with the owner's magic power. An elder wand is also a symbol of the magician's qualifications. People who often change wands, Either the wand seller or the wand user must be seriously ill.

After watching her disciples leave, Fran lay on the bed, with the fragments she saw yesterday appearing in front of her eyes.

After knowing something, she had some strange feelings when facing the disciple. Regarding his mother, she was not sure whether she should bring it up at this time. Xiao Xidi said that he often saw some strange clips when he was a child. , now long forgotten.

In other words, as long as she didn't mention it, probably no one would know that the lady had ever existed.

But what should I say?Although you were abandoned, your mother still loved you?

"...It's so complicated."

Fran let out a long sigh. How could she know such a thing? She didn't have a mother. According to her experience during the trip, she should have kept silent, but if the target was Xiao Xidi...

It's better to tell him, at least let him know that there is someone who always loves him.

Just say it tonight.

After making up her mind, Fran sat up, packed up the props and materials, and then thought of another woman.

"Tsk..."

Before the onset of laziness, she found some letter paper and pen, and took advantage of a rare moment of motivation to solve the problem in one go.

Oh, yes, and Teacher Connie, just write a few words to explain that things are getting better.

Once it’s done, it’s for Master. This should be a little more formal.

"Foreword, everything is fine recently. Master's life is also very peaceful recently, right? I am now settled in Celestilia..."

While waiting for the ink to dry, Fran looked up and looked out the window.

The end of winter is coming, and with the efficiency of the association, it will already be spring by the time this letter reaches Roberta of Peace.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

New wand, getda☆ze!

Under Xi Di's insistence, the new wand still maintained the characteristics of the past. Fran complained a little about this, saying how she could hold it steadily without a handle...

Only this point, Xidi couldn't accept it. Witches who were used to that kind of wand might not be able to understand the mood of ordinary people when they saw them pointing at each other with screwdrivers. When Xidi was young, the uncles in the caravan were very nervous. The following words about the witch:

"It looks like two maintenance workers trying to steal business."

In the past two days, Xi Di used the dusty old wand he brought back from Hameln. It looked like it was about to break, but it felt more comfortable to use and could withstand the huge magic power. There is no lag, maybe it takes longer?

After receiving the new wand, the spare wand was placed back inside the robe as usual.

In addition to this being his way of expressing his love, after all, the last wand was only used for a few months.

Then there is the wand Teacher Fran made for him, and of course he will cherish it equally.

The main body of the wand is still the same length as before. It is painted black with a delicate magic potion. It is soft and smooth. It is also waterproof, moisture-proof and has a considerable degree of fire protection. The body of the wand is inlaid with three white transparent gem-like things, which are well spaced. It does not appear luxurious, but instead highlights the sense of simplicity.

"This is a special material," Fran introduced. "Considering Xiao Xidi's physique, these three gems are used to buffer the magic power. When the magic power exceeds the upper limit of the staff, the gems will bear it. Pressure usually retains some magic power, which is used to maintain the wand and increase its adaptability.

Releasing magic like an ice storm may cause cracks in the gems, so they need to be replaced. I will write to you about the synthetic materials later..."

It's a very thoughtful design.

The exquisite appearance and smooth feel made Xidi couldn't put it down. She wanted to release an ice storm to add to the fun, but the teacher stopped her.

"It's said that emptying magic power is dangerous. When Xiao Xidi gets older, according to the rules, the magic power can grow by 30% to 70% as an adult... Frankly speaking, the teacher also finds Xiao Xidi's interest a bit strange. Woolen cloth."

Fran gently stroked her disciple's increasingly smooth hair.

Xidi closed her eyes and enjoyed it, leaning back habitually and sitting on the teacher's lap.

I don’t know why, but in the past few days, the teacher’s personality has become a lot softer. It’s different from the lazy feeling before. Is it because of what happened the day before yesterday?

Enjoying the warmth of her palms, Xidi's thoughts returned to the day before yesterday.

……

"There is something I want to tell Xiao Xidi."

When she saw the teacher's unnatural attitude, Xidi knew that it might be something serious.

During dinner, Fran sat next to him and spoke slightly sadly.

"Actually, when I was treating Xiao Xidi, I saw your... mother."

"..."

Mother is a kind of kinship title. It is usually the name that children refer to the female parent of their parents who gave birth or raised them.

This is all Hidi knows about her mother.

Fran straightened her posture and even put down her knife and fork. She did not talk while eating as before. This was an occasion that required respect.

Xidi quietly listened to everything that the nameless woman did for her, and even she couldn't tell how she felt.

He recalled the soft whispers in his childhood mind, the long-lost nights, the sense of security in the dead of night, and the fragile yet hard breaking sounds in the cold river water.

For a long time after falling into the water, he felt an uncomfortable feeling of missing something. Did something really leave him completely at that moment?

Fran is actually reluctant to talk about such things with kind people, because kindness will often hurt herself first. If some cruel things are a foregone conclusion, it is best not to know.

But when this happened to someone close to her...she felt helpless.

The food on the table was steaming with heat, and Xidi had lost her appetite.

He spoke softly.

"...Can you let me take a look at her?"

Fran used telewriting magic to hand over a photo.

Frankly speaking, it would seem strange to praise her beauty, because she is too familiar with myself. The only difference is that her eye color is slightly lighter. The temperament of a mature woman appears to be gentler, which is very different from that of a child.

Xidi stroked the photo gently and didn't speak for a long time.
