Candy Wizard and Travel

"There's no one else here, you don't have to hide it."

"Really do not have!"

I don’t know if it’s the knee pillow behavior that I’m negating or something else.

Miss Broom didn't care, she sat down again and stared at the bonfire in a daze.

Even though she has changed a bit, Miss Broom's nature is still the same as before, gentle, quiet, and patient. Objects will not produce as many emotions as humans do with the passage of time, nor will they get tired. She is the best candidate for night vigil.

At first, Irena wanted to stay the rest of the night out of regret, but she sternly refused.

"As long as you use me, the value of the item is such. It feels terrible to leave it until it decays. I am only alive when I am used, so please don't mind it and take care of yourself."

It was the kind of seriousness that reminded Irena of her senior brother, so she could only agree obediently.

"Crackling..."

The white noise of the burning firewood was like little figures in the girl's gradually dimming head. They began to dance and stepped on her eyelids, becoming heavier and heavier.

The fatigue of the ups and downs of mood and the consumption of magic power along the way, after the excitement of the first trip faded, fatigue finally hit.

"...Thank you, and...senior brother..."

Miss Broom listened to her master's vague words disappear, stepped forward, gently arranged the clothes on her body, and then sat back down, hugging her knees, as if in a daze, listening to the sounds around her.

The sound of wind blowing through the cave entrance, the flapping wings of birds at night, the terrifying cry of night owls, the roar of unknown animals...

It's so lively.

……

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. When it comes to personal safety, don't gamble even once, because you can't afford to lose. This is the purpose of the traveler.

Will there be monsters in this small forest?Can you reach the next country before your magic power runs out?Is the direction of walking correct?

In the chaotic dreams of the night, Irena called out the names of her senior brothers and teachers many times - this is what Miss Broom told her when she woke up in the morning.

Irena pursed her lips. There was a smoky smell and an extremely light smell of blood on her lips. The temperature was a bit dry.

Taking the warm water that Miss Broom had boiled and letting it cool down, Irena slowly moistened her lips. Irena couldn't help but sigh. It turned out that she was still relying on her senior brother and teacher... It was really outrageous.

"Excuse me, is it okay to fly later?"

"Being still means no loss to me, no problem." Miss Broom replied affirmatively, "Besides, there is a rabbit in the trap at the entrance of the cave."

"what?"

There was indeed a khaki hare, probably being chased by some predator, and it fled here in a panic, but the pursuer was frightened by the unfamiliar smell and did not pursue it.

It was small in size and did not hit the wooden thorn when it fell. However, its legs were lame and it tried its best to shrink into the shadows when it heard the noise.

It was already dawn, and Irena used the light to take a closer look and felt happy.

The hair on the rabbit's tail had a "melting" feeling, which was the result of the pure magic bombardment.

Is there anyone else in this forest who knows magic cannon besides her?

"Oh, it's you boy!"

Irena raised her wand, excited by this touching encounter.

……

Weaved a rope of hay and vines to tie the rabbit's hind legs, and hung it behind the broom. Without paying attention, the guy almost bit the rope. Irena likes many kinds of meat pies, and the making process is different. There are differences, but definitely not including falling from here.

This rabbit was a little different from what she knew. It was as manic as some dogs. You could only calm it down by holding its ears. It was still active at this height... Roberta's foreign rabbits were really amazing, the ones she and her senior brother used for experiments. , if it is a little taller, it will shrink like a quail.

Irena is not very interested in raising rabbits. She just wants to eat a belated rabbit meat feast. Unfortunately, she doesn't have the materials on hand, so she plans to entrust them to a restaurant when she goes to the next country.

Thinking about it, she rubbed the soft rabbit fur hard.

If you can survive the first day of junior high school, can you escape the fifteenth day of junior high school?Lady Irena has a broad mind, and this hatred has become a great blessing after a night.

The morning breeze was refreshing and comfortable, and Irena rubbed her face to drive away the sleepiness.

Go to the next place and repair for two days.

……

As a result, it was still afternoon when we arrived at the next country. We crossed a wide lake at noon, where Irena ate the last of the bread, and then she started on her way in earnest.

It is normal for the map to have some errors, but the errors in this version are a bit outrageous. If I had known better, I would not have refused the association-specific version presented by my senior brother.

Looking at the sky, Irena sighed softly.

——We are already far away from the peaceful country.

……

The strange country in front of her had tall city walls, and the armor worn by the city guards was full of metal, which actually made Irena a little uneasy.

Isn't it not peaceful here?The city guards at Roberta's place only wore ordinary uniforms.

Fortunately, entering the city went very smoothly, except for the guard who confirmed it twice, "Are you sure the witch's name is the Gray Witch?"

It seems that this name is really common, Irena thought.

"Are you a traveler? Have you been to the nearby forest recently?"

As a result, after passing the city gate, another woman in black robe wearing a bright moon badge on her chest asked, with some irrepressible rudeness and impatience in her words.

Irena was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I haven't been there."

People in the Magical Integration Association are said to be very hard-working. She can barely understand it. Although this attitude is unpleasant, she did not lie deliberately. There was only a lake where she flew over, and there was no forest anywhere.

After looking at the star badge on Irena's chest, the woman from the association nodded slightly, "Thank you for your cooperation, I'm sorry."

Then he went to ask the next magician.

——How strange.

"Don't worry about it. Traces of monsters have been found here recently. If we don't clean them up as soon as possible, there will be big problems. The magicians who have just finished working nearby have been transferred here. It's normal to feel resentful about canceling your vacation, right?"

A somewhat lazy voice explained this. Irena turned around and saw a familiar golden color in front of her eyes. A tall blond woman held a cigarette in her mouth and exhaled a breath of choking smoke.

That comfortable expression obviously wasn't for work to refresh him, he was just a simple smoker.

Her hat is decorated with strange feathers, and the important star badge and the association's moon badge hang on it, making it look very casual and individual.

Yeah, a smoker with personality.

……

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

“It’s not common for travelers to travel with pets.”

Irena felt her eyes moving up and down. She had just stared at her face, and now for some reason it stopped at her chest. She stared at it for a longer time. Was she trying to determine the authenticity of the badge?

Oh, I see, I see, after all, a young genius witch like her will always be questioned, it is understandable.

"This is not a pet," Irena held the rabbit's ears roughly. "It's the ingredients I caught. I'm going to find a restaurant to cook it."

“It’s rare to bring your own ingredients.”

The blond witch persistently searched for topics, her green eyes swept across the rabbit, and then back again, from lazy to sharp, like a goshawk locking its prey.

"Can I take a look?"

She put out her cigarette.

Irena first went through Teacher Fran's lectures in her mind. Those fraud teaching materials... Well, in fraud cases, there is no such big fanfare just to deceive rabbits.

Moreover, the cigarette smoked by the guy in front of me also had a slightly familiar smell - certain incense and spices that my senior brother liked. If you can afford to smoke this cigarette, you won't be able to afford to eat rabbit.

"Give."

She held it by the ear and handed it over.

But the other party took it in a very strange posture - pinching his neck.

The rabbit began to struggle violently, lifting its legs with force, breaking free from the loose rope, and reaching for the witch's arm. The rabbit also had claws, and this push was not light.

The blond woman skillfully raised her wand, and the diamond-shaped shield blocked the rabbit's attack. Then, the magic rope bound its limbs. She kept holding the rabbit's chin, and opened the rabbit's lips, which looked a little scary up close. Observe the teeth.

Irena felt something was a little wrong at this time. She had dealt with many rabbits, in the laboratory and the kitchen, but she could guarantee that no rabbit had teeth like this, with sharp edges that could tear flesh and blood. Spend.

"My name is Sheila," the witch of the association casually introduced herself, "Miss, your trip will be interrupted, and we may need your cooperation. If everything goes well, I will treat you to dinner."

——It seems somewhat familiar.

But Irena is more interested in rabbits now, and it's obvious that the trip she just started has encountered big events.

Sheila waved her wand and picked up a wooden stick from the side, put it in front of the rabbit's mouth, and then let go——

"Crack!"

It opened its three-petal lips, like a disgusting flower, and spat out its teeth. The sharp, up-and-down teeth caught the stick and bit it at high speed.

Visually, it was like a convulsion, and the head was shaking violently. When Sheila stopped it, all that was spit out was debris, and occasionally there were deep teeth marks on the wooden pieces as big as fingernails.

Irena couldn't help but shudder. She could already imagine what would happen if the animal's fragile fur touched this tooth. She remembered the story that her senior brother had mentioned casually, about piranhas that came looking for blood in certain rivers.

Was this the kind of thing she stayed with along the way?Or is it true that the rabbit that fell into the trap in the morning was hiding from the hunter instead of hunting after smelling the scent of a living creature?

In her horrified eyes, the rabbit suddenly lowered its head, kicked its legs, and jumped upright.

"died."

Sheila dropped the rabbit casually, took out a delicate metal box from her pocket, took out the cigarette, paused and put it in again, took out an ordinary cigarette from another pocket, and picked up one.

"If it's hot, the taste will probably stay fresh, but I don't know what it will be like as a meal, so I suggest you don't eat it in a hurry."

"What is this!" Irena had no interest in eating at all.

People can accept that carnivores have always eaten meat, but they are disgusted when things that should eat grass suddenly eat meat, such as sheep that swallow chickens as if nothing happened, hamsters that eat their own kind, hippos that eat fish...understand from a human perspective Other creatures always feel suffocated.

"It's probably because they are far away from the 'mother body'. The last burst of magic power and overloaded exercise are normal." Sheila lit a cigarette. "They are a group. If an individual dies, he will die. If the last attempt can leave prey behind, , it will not be considered a wasted death.”

"Is it a monster?"

Irena's throat twitched slightly, remembering what her senior brother said about monsters with strange charms. Rabbits don't have this kind of instinct. Is it the demonic nature of that monster that causes them to undergo such changes?

"Well, you have a good amount of knowledge."

Sheila squatted down and held the rabbit's ears, and took out a "square box" two palms long and wide from her pocket, which looked like a shrunken camera. She played with the rabbit's body. After the box clicked, photos fell down.

"Wow." Irena felt enlightened.

"I have an interesting idea from a junior. This is an improved model, specially provided by the association, and it is very expensive." Sheila did not hesitate to speak. "It has been gradually equipped recently, and it is much easier to collect intelligence. There will be a civilian version in a few years." , it shouldn’t have been shown to outsiders.”

"I don't talk nonsense, it's amazing." Irena clicked her tongue in surprise.

"This is a small bribe. I can see that you are very curious, but can you satisfy my curiosity now?"

Sheila carried the body and threw it into a bag, sealing it.

"The place, time and experience of discovering this thing, if convenient, the more detailed the better."

"This...is there any reward?"

"Your personality is really the same as... Well," the blond woman showed a helpless expression and rubbed her fingers. "There is an intelligence fee. It's about this amount. How much can you get to see the specific information."

"it is good!"

……

In the next half hour, Irena witnessed the association's power of action.

There were three people in a team, which lasted only 15 minutes. The grouping and formation had been discussed. According to the information she provided, three solutions were drawn up, namely storm, storm and storm, and the difference was whether it was fire, flood or soil. buried.

To be said to be the main combat force of the association, there must be a few brushes.

Magicians flew by in flocks like migratory birds.

The blonde witch was lying on her back on a broom that could hardly be called a broom, and Irena felt like she had heard similar descriptions somewhere.

Heading to the forest yesterday, if we go at full speed, we can arrive before dusk. Worried about pointing in the wrong direction, just to be sure, Irena followed her and ran again.

"You can't relax when it comes to monsters. In the ancient times, a country might be destroyed if you delayed it for just one night. Please lead the way. If it ends successfully, I will pay according to the standards for traveling witches entrusted by the association."

"Really? How many?" Irena cheered up, but felt a little embarrassed again, and coughed twice, "Well, this is my first time accepting a commission, so I'm a little excited."

"Well, let me tell you, Miss Traveler, my suggestion is that it's better for a rookie not to expose yourself as a rookie. Other clients will bargain."

"Uh, I took note of that."
