Chapter 563: Sersi the Witch
"Meowβ"
The cat meow sounded, and Nellid didn't have to look to know who was coming-it must be her soft-tempered, very easy to bully cat schoolgirl, as long as she didn't touch the other party's cat, she wouldn't be angry when she crumpled the other party's face, and the other party was obviously better at making pumpkin lanterns than her.
Turning her head, Nellid glanced at it and realized that there was nothing wrong with it, it was really her cat schoolgirl. Holding a black cat in his arms, he approached with wide eyes, and took the initiative to ask: "Senior Sister Nelide, ...... are you?"
"Heidi, come here. Nellid quickly beckoned the other party to his side, shoved the dagger into the other party's hand, and said loudly, "Heidi, I have a very important matter for you to help me now. β
"Huh?
"Help me make a jack-o'-lantern. β
"What are jack-o'-lanterns for?"
"You don't care what you do, help me make one first. Anyway, I'm annoyed right now, and I finally succeeded in making one, but I accidentally broke it, and I'm not in the mood to make a second one at all. So, you must help me. β
"Uh...... All right. Heidi, the cat slave girl, hesitated, her long eyelashes moved, and finally agreed. He put the black cat in his arms on the ground to the side, walked to the pumpkin piled on the side, and instead of picking a large pumpkin like Nellid, he picked a very small pumpkin.
Walking to the stone table with the little pumpkin, Heidi cleaned up the table, then put the pumpkin on it, holding a dagger and carefully cutting a small hole in the top of the pumpkin, carefully cleaning the melon inside. At the end of the cleanup, there were some melons stuck to the inner wall, very stubborn, and Heidi frowned.
The next moment, Heidi stretched out her white and tender hand to aim at the gap, her lips opened and closed a few times, and a cloud of ice mist surged into the inside of the pumpkin with a "poof" - she was already a first-level wizard apprentice under the guidance of Nellid and the teacher, and she could release several simple zero ring spells, and one ice mist spell naturally couldn't overwhelm her.
As the ice mist enters the inside of the pumpkin, the remaining pumpkin pulp can be seen to rapidly decrease in temperature and then harden.
Heidi reached in with the dagger again and cleaned the last remaining melon pulp to a clean pumpkin shell.
Nellid's eyes widened as she looked at it, she didn't expect the spell to be so useful. In other words, she is a third-level wizard apprentice, and her strength is much stronger than Heidi, if she uses the same spell, the effect is better than Heidi, but when she made the jack-o'-lantern just now, she didn't have this concept at all.
Is she too stupid?
How can it be!
Nelid shook her head vigorously, completely disapproving.
Mickey, the black cat who was placed on the side, suddenly jumped on the stone table, approached the pumpkin pulp with a little curiosity, stretched out his tongue and licked it. After discovering that it was not delicious, he screamed in a little displeasure, gave Nerid a roll of his eyes, jumped off the stone table, ran to a place where there was sun on the side, and began to sleep.
Nellid was keenly aware that the black cat seemed to despise her, and wanted to question what the black cat meant, but seeing that Heidi was still busy, she was fierce at the black cat's back and held back.
At this time, Heidi began to carve patterns on the outer wall of the pumpkin with a dagger, and after depicting the eyes, nose, and mouth in turn, she carefully cut off the excess outer wall of the pumpkin with the dagger.
At the end, a standard jack-o'-lantern is finished, and when I look at it, the pumpkin grins and laughs, quite childish.
"Sister, how do you see what I made, are you satisfied?" asked Heidi, holding the finished jack-o'-lantern to Nellid.
Nellid saw it and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, very good, then you only need to help me make nine more similar ones, and I can complete the task given to me by the teacher." β
"The task given to you by the teacher? What, the jack-o'-lantern was carved by the teacher, Sister Nelid?"
"Well, this ......" Nellid walked up to Heidi and asked with a serious face, "Heidi, am I usually good to you?"
"Good. Heidi said, "But ......"
"No but!" Nellid didn't give Heidi a chance to retort, "it's enough that you know I'm good to you, so you must help me this time." You don't know how hard it is for me to make one jack-o'-lantern, and the teacher even asked me to make ten, and I'm going crazy, you know?!"
"Then ......" Heidi hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Alright then, I'll do it for you, but in case the teacher knows......"
"Don't worry, the teacher won't know. Nellid comforted Heidi, "The teacher must be upstairs now, studying some ancient spells, if I don't tell her, he will never think that you helped me do it." β
"Ahem!" At this moment, a light cough sounded, and a figure walked out of the wooden building and said slowly, "You're so sure, I can't guess?"
"Gah!" Nellid instantly looked like a wild duck choked by the neck, turned around stiffly, looked at the person who came out of the building, and wanted to shout very much, "Teacher, why don't you make a sound when you walk", but in the end she lowered her head and said weakly: "Teacher." "The tone is very complicated.
Heidi on the side also knew that she had made a mistake, gently put down the pumpkin she was holding, lowered her head, and said weakly: "Teacher." β
"You both look at me. The woman who came out spoke, and Nellid and Heidi immediately looked at each other obediently.
When I looked over, I saw that the other party was in his thirties, with a slender figure, wearing a white robe, and he felt a little weak and unwinded. The face is not outstanding, but there is a temperament exuded from the whole body, which makes people feel calm and mysterious.
She is the teacher of Nellid and Heidi, and the wizard of the Jungle Hut. Her strength is not very outstanding, and in the eyes of others, she is just a first-level high-level wizard. However, because she is good at many ancient spells, she always gives people an unfathomable feeling, and even second-level wizards dare not provoke her easily.
In addition, she likes to be quiet and does not like to move, rarely has conflicts of interest with people, and has helped many people. Therefore, there are almost no wizards who are really willing to embarrass her, and if someone really embarrasses her, there will be a large group of wizards who will come forward.
That's who she is β Sercy.
At this time, Sersi looked at her two students, looked at them for a while, and then her eyes fell on Nellid, and said in a somewhat unangry tone: "Nellid, I let you make your own jack-o'-lanterns, but you asked Heidi for help, it's a bit unusual, right?"
"Teacher-" Nellid looked at Sercy, a little aggrieved and excused, "You can't blame me for this, it's too difficult to make jack-o'-lanterns, I really can't do it, so I found Heidi." Actually, you can ask me to do something else, like go around the forest and see if there are any fat and stupid hares, catch a few and come back to roast and eat them at night, I promise it will be fine. β
"Of course I know, you won't have a problem catching rabbits, in fact, you're almost running out of rabbits around this gathering place. Not only rabbits, but also other animals have decreased a lot, and wild wolves and other things have begun to stay away from the gathering place. Also, I know you can't do something like making jack-o'-lanterns, actually, I made you do it on purpose. β
"Huh?"
