The witch’s little habit

After a night of meditation, Isa slowly opened her eyes. The deep sadness in her heart could not be hidden from her exquisite and bright eyes.

During the night, the Witch continued to drive the magic array, increasing the concentration of magic essence around her.

However, no matter what, Isa felt that the magic essence around her and the magic essence she controlled in her body were like two gears of different specifications, out of sync.

Even if she forcibly controlled and absorbed it into her body, the flow of magic essence in her body seemed to be blocked by the extra foreign element, and Isa couldn’t make it move like an arm.

Meditating in a high-concentration magic essence environment, Isa was not entirely without gains. At least her spiritual power could control more free magic essence than yesterday.

‘It’s almost morning now, the best time to pick mushrooms. After picking them and bringing them back to cook, I should be able to catch the Witch when she gets up for breakfast.’

Since there was no significant improvement in her magic essence ability, in order to repay the Witch’s kindness.

Isa had made up her mind to pick some mushrooms in the forest and make a breakfast for the Witch.

Looking at the linen clothes that were already stained with the blood of magical beasts, Isa still decided to put on the new clothes given by the Witch.

Isa cherished the set of clothes that was originally in the wardrobe and hoped to store them well to avoid getting them dirty or damaged.

But now, it was obviously impossible for Isa to wear silk pajamas to shuttle through the forest.

So, Isa picked up the clothes given to her by the Witch.

Just holding the short skirt that only reached above her knees and needed to expose her calves, Isa felt a shock to her soul and was secretly surprised, ‘Does the Witch like this kind of skirt?’

For Isa, her understanding of the Witch seemed to be insufficient, because the women she had come into contact with basically wore long skirts or long pants.

In her memory, this kind of short skirt would only appear on bar girls. Considering the special nature of their profession, they would inevitably need more convenient skirts.

However, she was already the Witch’s person, so she naturally had to consider the Witch’s preferences and convenience when she served the Witch in the future.

Thinking of this, Isa no longer hesitated. She bit her silver teeth, and the untied pajamas slipped to the floor along with her skin. She put on the short skirt.

Her fair legs lost the cover of the long skirt, giving Isa a subconscious feeling of coldness.

But in fact, the temperature Isa felt had not decreased at all.

Having entered Sequence One, Isa could perceive that there was a flow of magic essence on the surface of the short skirt.

She was surprised to find that the entire set of clothes was actually a rare magical item.

Without waiting for Isa to continue to be surprised, with the first breakthrough of her bottom line in wearing a short skirt, there were no more problems for Isa.

Whether it was the top with split sleeves or the sleeves themselves.

And the matching long boots and white stockings.

Isa blushed and put them all on. Her weak and delicate body made the clothes look even thinner.

But for Isa, she didn’t feel a trace of coldness. The magic array on the dress was constantly running, always keeping Isa in a suitable temperature range for her body surface.

Isa didn’t recognize the magic array left in the clothes. She could only guess that there were two basic magic arrays, self-cleaning and heat preservation. As for the other magic arrays, they were beyond her knowledge.

After changing her clothes, Isa stood in front of the mirror and carefully looked at herself in the mirror.

Her originally pale face gradually became rosy after getting enough food.

Paired with the new clothes, although her body was still relatively thin, she had the rudiments of a beauty.

Isa found an empty basket in the house and carried it in her hand, walking towards the dense forest to find delicious mushrooms.

Along the way, she could still be heard singing in a low voice a song that the hunters in the village had learned from somewhere, “Red umbrella, white stalk…”

In another part of the Noda Forest under the same sky, the quasi-knight Balun was leading the apprentice knights of the Laita City Church, a group of nine people, searching for the witch’s tracks in the forest.

Looking at the apprentice knights who were wearing armor but casually swinging their longswords to cut down thorns, as if they were on an outing.

Balun sighed silently in his heart.

If it weren’t for his superior’s orders, he really wouldn’t want to bring this group of burdensome apprentice knights to the Noda Forest.

In order to make this group of apprentice knights take it seriously, Balun deliberately emphasized with a serious expression, “We have been searching in the forest for some time now, and so far, we have not seen any signs of a beast tide. Everyone, you need to cheer up. We are about to fight the witch who escaped in the forest.”

The apprentice knights from Laita City obviously didn’t care about Balun’s words.

If it weren’t for his orders, they would still be comfortably drinking in a tavern in the city, and they could even take advantage of the bar girls.

“Lord Balun, you must be joking. We will publicly burn any witches we catch. The reputation of the Church is enough to make any witch tremble in fear. How could a witch take the initiative to be an enemy of the Church?”

This group of idiots was still laughing and joking. Balun clenched his fist and said coldly, “Hmph, ignorant!”

With that, Balun no longer explained. These apprentice knights were not worthy of knowing more.

The witches these apprentice knights talked about were all witches who had not yet stepped into the superhuman sequence.

Witches were born with various abilities that were different from the superhuman sequence. Once they stepped into the superhuman sequence.

In a battle of the same sequence, it was easy for them to cross levels and gain an advantage.

What’s more, there was the witch coven lurking in the dark. The number of Judgment Knights who had died at their hands was countless.

The battle between the Church and the witches had never stopped, it had just turned from a wave on the surface of the water to an undercurrent beneath the surface.

The apprentice knights, who didn’t know the inside story, suddenly looked ugly when they heard Balun’s words.

When they were stationed in Laita City, the people in the city all looked at them with admiration, and they could hear people’s praise for the Church wherever they went.

Although Balun was a knight from the Holy City, his arrogant attitude had also made this group of apprentice knights, who were used to living a comfortable life, accumulate dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Just because of this brat, he wants to show off in front of us?

Just because you’re a knight from the Holy City?

Gradually, the apprentice knights had given up maintaining their original formation and instead scattered around with their arms around each other’s shoulders, starting to loudly discuss which tavern’s drinks were good and which bar girl’s buttocks were jiggly, completely ignoring Balun.

Balun listened to this group of apprentice knights behind him and couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

With a clang, the apprentice knights only felt their eyes blur, and a very thin silver light flashed in an instant.

The old tree in front of them, which required an adult to wrap their arms around, Balun hadn’t used magic essence, but had relied on strength alone to cut the tree trunk nearly two-thirds deep.

The flying wood chips splashed in front of the apprentice knights, but they didn’t have any thought of covering their faces.

They were still in shock from Balun’s sword strike. Some of them hadn’t even had time to speak and had swallowed their words.

Their bodies were not as thick as the old tree in front of them. If they had really been hit by Balun’s sword, they would definitely have been cut in two.

At this time, they finally remembered that this young knight from the Holy City was a Sequence Two quasi-knight.

Once he used magic essence, no one present could oppose him.

“Now everyone, disperse and search. If you find any trace of the witch, call for help immediately!”

Balun’s emotionless command was issued, and this time no one raised any objections.
