Unbelievable Philly

Leaving the first floor and returning to her room on the second, Philly, who was barely maintaining her composure, still found it hard to believe everything that had just happened.

Feeling the magic essence circuit in her body no longer being eroded by the Holy Stone factor, it was as if she were in a dream.

The “Her Highness Su Ran” that Isa spoke of seemed to possess a magical power.

The first time Philly saw her, she felt a sense of intimacy.

It might sound absurd to say so, but with Su Ran, Philly truly felt an urge to trust her that she couldn’t help.

Philly was very clear that this was not a form of mental control, but rather a dependency similar to a blood tie, or perhaps, a filial affection.

Fortunately, this feeling was not strong for Philly and could still be controlled by her consciousness.

At the same time, it couldn’t affect her judgment; it was just that a greater desire to get closer had appeared in her heart.

If the hint of intimacy that arose in her heart was very likely caused by the aura the other party emitted…

The exquisite and delicate body wrapped in purple light revealed a youthful and beautiful female visage.

This was not what Philly found most magical.

The most exaggerated thing was Su Ran’s move to heal her magic essence circuit, which had been damaged by the Holy Stone.

Normally, when injured by the Holy Stone, the Holy Stone factor would remain in the body.

Most witches who wanted to recover their original combat power needed to carefully eliminate the influence of the Holy Stone factor before repairing their magic essence circuit.

This usually took more than a month.

Even if the Holy Stone factor was extracted by the Church’s personnel themselves and there was no residual factor in the body, just repairing the damage to the magic essence circuit would take at least half a month.

And this “Her Highness Su Ran” that Isa spoke of, just by sending a stream of magic essence to circulate in her body, could repair most of the magic essence circuit.

This method was simply unheard of.

With this single move, Her Highness Su Ran had repaired most of the damaged magic essence, saving Philly a lot of time.

This method of circulating magic essence within the body could be said to go against the years of experience of the Witch’s Society.

The consensus was that damage from the Holy Stone factor could not be quickly repaired.

Even though Su Ran had helped Philly eliminate the damage from the Holy Stone factor this time, for the other witches, it was an unattainable existence.

If Philly’s willpower hadn’t been firm, she might have gone to find Su Ran to understand why she could heal the damage caused by the Holy Stone so quickly.

‘If I learn this move, I can directly help many just-rescued comrades recover quickly.’

However, it was a pity that even Su Ran himself did not know the specific principle behind healing the wounds caused by the Holy Stone factor.

He had just spent a few dozen yuan to help Philly with the treatment.

Perhaps only the system knew the specific process involved.

‘Such a powerful and mysterious witch… do I really have the ability to persuade her to join the Witch’s Society?’

After truly meeting Su Ran, Philly found her previous naive thoughts laughable.

Fortunately, she hadn’t extended the invitation just now.

Philly patted her chest, glad that she hadn’t invited the other party just now, nor had she said anything offensive to displease Her Highness Su Ran.

Now, Philly had already changed her strategy.

She no longer dared to hope that Her Highness Su Ran would join the Witch’s Society.

It was enough to be able to maintain a good relationship with her.

“Your Witch Highness, I’m scared!”

After Philly went upstairs and left the scene, Isa, who was being embraced by Su Ran, softly confided her worries.

“Go on, I’m listening.”

The gentle voice soothed the anxiety in Isa’s heart, allowing her somewhat stiff body to relax.

Although Isa hid it well, she was, after all, only an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, about the same age as Su Ran himself.

If it weren’t for his experience of two lifetimes, Su Ran’s mentality might not be much different from hers.

Some things needed to be said out loud to be truly relieved.

“I’m afraid you’ll think my witch abilities haven’t changed because I haven’t been working hard, even though you’ve given me such good resources.”

Su Ran felt a wetness on his chest as Isa spoke.

He reached out and patted Isa’s back comfortingly.

“That’s not true. Isa meditates hard every day. I see all of it. How could I think you’re not working hard?”

“But Your Witch Highness is so powerful, and I’m only Sequence Two now. I don’t know when I’ll be able to help you.”

Receiving Her Highness Su Ran’s comfort, Isa’s voice carried a hint of a sob.

“How could that be? Maybe one day, I’ll really ask you for help.”

‘Isa is already Sequence Two now. Compared to me, who is still an ordinary person, there are really many areas where I could use Isa’s help if possible.’

“Really?”

Isa’s eyes were red and watery as she stared at Su Ran, as if to confirm he wasn’t just coaxing her.

Su Ran nodded, “Of course it’s true. And I have very high expectations for Isa. Maybe you’ll be the one helping me in the future.”

Hearing Su Ran’s words, Isa’s eyes lit up, so surprised that she forgot to close her mouth.

She had never expected that Her Highness Su Ran, the Source of Witches, would have such high expectations for her.

‘Does that mean Her Highness Su Ran expects me to reach Sequence Nine or even higher?’

This was a realm Isa dared not even imagine right now.

Isa was afraid that Her Highness Su Ran was just saying things to comfort her, so she quickly said, “Then Your Highness Su Ran, promise me, when you need my help in the future, remember to ask me. Whether it’s for battle or for daily life, I can help.”

“I promise you.”

‘So that’s the real source of Isa’s anxiety. She’s afraid she can’t be of help and will become a burden to Her Witch Highness.’

However, in the end, Isa added in a small voice that Su Ran couldn’t hear, “Even for small things like warming the bed, it’s not out of the question.”

Not noticing the last sentence, after agreeing to Isa’s request, Su Ran brought up the main business, “Have you noticed the movements of the magical beasts in the forest these past few days?”

Hearing this, Isa shook her head.

These past few days, she had been taking care of the unconscious Philly and had not paid attention to the movements of the magical beasts.

It was not within her scope of concern.

“Is that so?”

Su Ran lowered his head, preparing to think of other solutions.

“Your Highness Su Ran, I have a way to solve this matter!”

Philly’s voice came from the second floor.

She slowly walked down the stairs again and recommended herself, “My witch ability allows me to communicate with the trees in the forest. Through this method, I can learn the movements of the magical beasts in the forest.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

Although the mission description stated that Laita City was currently under a beast tide attack, Su Ran still wanted to understand the movements of the magical beasts in Noda Forest.

After all, a large number of the magical beasts in the beast tide must have come from Noda Forest.

With Philly’s help, they could gain the upper hand in the upcoming actions.

“It is my honor to be able to help Your Highness Su Ran.”
