Chapter Forty-Eight: Maria's Magic House

When the magician troops went to the land of Britain, in order not to attract attention, the route was relatively secret, and the naturally selected means of transportation could not be said to be very comfortable.

For these magicians, such a journey is naturally disgusting - but the return is different, and now that the work is done, they will no longer choose tools that are not only narrow, but also very bumpy.

The queen had chartered a whole plane for them, and the person in charge of seeing them off was Mr. Bedwell, who had only become the head of the Edinburgh Knight a few hours earlier.

He was in the car, chatting with Deacon Ace.

"Pansy?"

When he heard the name, Deacon Ace's expression was obviously a little unnatural—he frowned and muttered, "Mr. Bedwell, why did you suddenly mention this name?"

Bedwell knew most of the magicians in Britain, but the only thing he knew was the man and woman he met during last night's incident...... Although the other party claims to be a free magician.

Afterwards, Bedwell suddenly remembered one thing, that is, from beginning to end, no one knew the name of the mysterious young man who had infused the compound technique with great magic...... It's as if, no one has ever thought of this question.

Pansies, on the other hand, only learned about them through Klein's initial introduction - later, after a brief conversation between Bedwell and Klein, it was discovered that Klein had indeed only met the man and woman for the first time.

"Well, I just heard the name by chance, all a little curious. Bedwell said slowly, "Mr. Ace seems to know the owner of this name?"

Deacon Ace shook his head, and glanced at the new head of the Edinburgh Knight Agency in disbelief, "There is actually nothing to hide about the spread of the Pansy, as long as you ask, it is still easy to inquire from the magic world...... Have you ever heard of the title "Legendary Witch"?"

Bedwell was stunned and said, "Could it be that Pansy is this [Legendary Witch]? I've heard of this legend...... One of only a few of the world's top secret potions, and a free man. Legend has it that when she certified her Secret Apothecary qualification, she solved centuries of puzzles in the history of Secret Apothecary in one day, and successfully refined a perfect bottle of six-star Elixir, so on the day she completed the certification, she was given the certificate of the highest level of Secret Apothecary...... Later, because of her moody style, she was called "Legendary Witch". ”

"Most people know this, and the title of [Legendary Witch] has spread much more widely than her original name. ”

Deacon Ace nodded and said, "But if it's a secret medicine master, you will basically know the name Pansy. However, she has been missing for more than thirty years, and it is normal that you don't know, Mr. Bedwell. ”

Bedwell said, "Mr. Ace, have you seen this [Legendary Witch]?"

Deacon Ace shook his head, looking indescribable, and sighed, "If I could, I'd rather never see it, really." Mr. Bedwell, I would like to advise you that it is best not to have anything to do with the [Legendary Witch], or you will regret it for the rest of your life. ”

Bedwell couldn't help but frown.

But the deacon Ace sighed, "Let you see something." ”

As he spoke, Deacon Ace slowly lifted his clothes, revealing his abdomen and chest...... Bedwell's face couldn't help but change slightly at this moment, "Your body ......"

As a surgeon, it was difficult for Bedwell to imagine what he was seeing.

Because Deacon Ace from the neck down, it can't be called a human body at all...... Rather, it is made of various instruments, surgical engravings, artificial organs, and crystals, although all the [parts] can be seen to be arranged in a good imitation of the internal organs of the human body......

"This is my body now. Deacon Ace smiled bitterly and said, "These organs now, and their annual maintenance costs, are a huge drain - and the reason why my body has become like this is only because I once exchanged my own body for a bottle of potion from the hands of the [Legendary Witch]. To be honest, I actually regretted my choice. ”

"Why did she take your body?" asked Bedwell, puzzled.

Mr. Ace shook his head, "It's not so much why she took my body...... Of all the costs of asking her to help, this is the only thing I can get my hands on. Therefore, it is best not to have anything to do with the [Legendary Witch], because you will never be able to resist the temptation that she brings you. Then, you will lose, and you will regret it later. ”

Bedwell suddenly asked, "What does this [Legendary Witch] look like?"

Deacon Ace gave him a strange look.

Bedwell said quietly: "Such a dangerous person, if you don't know your appearance, will make people feel uneasy. ”

"No one knows what she looks like. Deacon Ace said, "Because she never sees people for what she really is...... Therefore, in the thirty years since she disappeared, no one has been able to find her...... Perhaps, she is by your side and mine, but you and I never know. ”

Bedwell nodded...... Thinking about something else.

Just based on what Klein said, it can't be proved that the [Pansy] in his mouth is the legendary [Legendary Witch]...... Otherwise, it would not be a good thing to have such a dangerous person in the territory of Britain.

Not long after, the vehicle arrived at the airport, and after personally putting everyone in the magician unit on the plane and watching the plane take off and disappear, Bedwell left the airport.

......

【Maria-Holic】

The name of the magic house in front of you...... There's a feeling of first meeting a club – of course, it's completely different in nature.

The only similarity is probably that they are all located on busy roads - and in addition, only non-people can see through its surface camouflage.

In fact, the main body is a laundry...... A relatively quiet place in the middle of this busy stretch.

Somewhat different from last night's meeting, when Locho and the maid entered the laundry, Ms. Maria was holding a large pile of clothes ready to be dry cleaned—as for the laundry area where she lived, there was only a middle-aged woman, sitting reading a magazine, waiting to take out the clothes from the washing machine.

Today's Ms. Maria wears a working apron...... Dressed as an amateur, he seems to be younger than last night's slightly dusty appearance...... Maybe it's because the makeup you wore last night was more mature?

If two people are judged.

"Are you ......" When Maria saw Luo Qiu, she was stunned at first, and then said, "You two, do you want to do laundry?"

Luo Qiu only felt a little strange - at this time, Maria didn't seem to know herself.

But he doesn't remember erasing his existence from the perception of the other person...... The rain of 'elimination techniques' that fell before dawn was not likely to make her lose this part of her memory.

However, the doubt was only for a moment, and Luo Qiu quickly smiled and said, "We are here to find Ms. Maria, if it is convenient, can you please let her out...... Also, what to call you. ”

"Find... Sister's?" Ms. Maria in front of her frowned.

Luo Qiu took out a card.

She glanced at the card before she suddenly said, "Are you her guests? I don't think I've seen you before." ”

"I guess I'm just acquainting. Luo Qiu said casually.

"That's ...... Are you in a hurry? If you're not in a hurry......" She nodded, then her eyes fell on the woman in the laundry area, and she said with some embarrassment, "This lady is a regular visitor here......

"It doesn't matter. Luo Qiu smiled.

"In that case, let's go inside and wait for a while?" she said, gesturing to a door leading inside, signaling that the two of them could go in directly, "I'll be here soon." ”

After a while, after the laundry guest had taken the clothes, she hung up a sign on the door of the laundry that was closed, and then came to Luo Qiu and the maid.

The laundry is connected to the place where you live...... It's about half and half space.

The dwelling was a little shabby, and relatively clean - the maid seemed to be more satisfied with the environment, and rarely did not wipe down the chair she needed before her master sat down.

"My sister only came back this morning and then fell asleep and seemed a little tired. She also didn't tell me that there would be new guests coming to her...... Maybe I'm too tired and forgot, right?"

She brought the tea, and then hurriedly said, "Please wait a minute, I called her...... She's waking up. ”

And then there was a rather magical scene.

I saw that the 'Maria' lady sat down, and then her head drooped all at once—when she raised her head again, she yawned and stretched her waist—and the majestic chest propped up the apron on her body, which gave people a sense of vitality.

Then he smiled slightly flirtatiously.

This is the witch that Locho had met, Maria.

"I'm sorry, I'm so tired when I came back in the morning, I didn't want to fall asleep directly, and I didn't have time to tell her ......about your return," Lady Maria looked resentful at this time, "and your little brother suddenly disappeared again, and people thought they were being molested." ”

Why does it suddenly feel like the air is getting colder......

Lady Maria shuddered—but could not find the source.

The two people in front of him...... Well, it's still a boy who heals his smile like this, and as for the woman next to him, he also has a kind look.

How strange is that?

Could it be that someone secretly cast some bad spell or something...... While pondering, he heard Luo Qiu ask curiously, "Ms. Maria, are you sharing the same body with your sister?"

"For some reason, I can only live in Teresa's body temporarily. Maria said rather casually, "Oh, by the way, Teresa is the child's name." Let's not talk about that...... Is this the legendary [Legendary Witch] Pansy?"

Legendary Witch?

Boss Luo looked at his maid lady and girlfriend and blinked.

The maid lady said indifferently: "Probably some good deeds, arranged when I was bored, I never admitted it." ”

"It feels like I know you a little bit better. Luo Qiu smiled.

The maid lady looked at him, and her gaze softened.

What a flash......

Lady Maria, who felt like she was about to be blinded, was suddenly hurt by ten thousand things—she coughed lightly twice, and said solemnly: "You two, why don't you go to my magic house first? ”

As she spoke, she tapped on the table, and a small, wand about a foot long, like a conductor's baton, appeared in the palm of her hand, and with it, she tapped it lightly on one of the walls of the house.

On the white walls painted with latex paint, neat cracks appeared in an instant—the kind of texture common with I-shaped bricklaying...... Then, the bricks on the walls began to fold up in a regular manner.

Finally, what appeared before them was an oval-shaped entrance.

Maria was the first to walk in, "Come in, welcome to Maria-Holic!"

It's a bit like walking into a horror house – but it doesn't smell anything unusual, instead there's a faint scent of lavender.

It's not big, about 60 square meters...... It's cluttered all around, but it's actually quite neatly arranged with all sorts of strange items...... Even living things.

For example, a frog with a big back and a cigar in his mouth?

On the wall is a long, ribbon-shaped fish pond embedded in it, and a purple monkfish is swimming slowly, occasionally opening its mouth to suck in the microbes around it - by the way, the monkfish emits a green light.

A bit like a visitor who walked into an aquarium for the first time, Boss Luo actually spent a lot of time observing the novelties here until he sat down.

The maid, on the other hand, was attentive to her master, explaining the things here—the level of detail made Ms. Maria, who was about to show herself as the merchant capital of the magic house, feel a sense of frustration.

"So, let's formally introduce myself. ”

Maria coughed lightly again, "I'm Maria, the Freedom Magic Merchant, and it's nice to meet you two...... In particular, you can see the legendary Pansy. It's such an honor. ”

Having said that, in fact, this witch was already too nervous - after all, she was facing the [Legendary Witch].

HOLD ON, MARIA, YOU MUST NOT LET [LEGENDARY WITCH] LOOK DOWN ON ...... Smile naturally, naturally, naturally, and don't be nervous!

"Lady Maria, are you hot. ”

"yes, it suddenly feels a little hot...... It's so hot, don't you think?hahaha......" Maria laughed ahahaha, then pulled her collar and fanned herself inside.

That rather deep career line has come out again.

Then, the witch lady instantly felt as if she had entered the South Pole, and a cold air rushed from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head, and then from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet, and cycled back and forth several times.

Hello——!!

The two people in front of him...... Well, it's still a boy who heals his smile like this, and as for the [Legendary Witch] next to him, he still has a kind gaze.

How strange is that?
