According to what Xia Ye told Lilian, he lost almost everything in the battle with a powerful enemy in the Aether Sea.
This is a relatively convincing statement, so Lillian has no doubts.
Of course, the actual situation is that he is a headless corpse crawling out of a body bag. Of course, he has no belongings. He is thankful that he still has some clothes on him.
In Debsotta, it is almost impossible to go out without a broom. What's not good enough is that other witches often encounter things like broken brooms or lost brooms. Therefore, temporary broom rental points are set up in many places in the city.
By the way, the entire city broom rental business belongs to one company, "Fengxing Leasing", and Fengxing Leasing is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ether Exploration. In other words, ether exploration actually monopolizes the entire Debsotta broom rental business, and there is a similar situation in many other industries.
Xia Ye followed Lillian to the 100th floor of the building, stepped out of the elevator-like lift, and came to the terrace. She immediately saw rows of brooms neatly locked on the shelves.
All the brooms are blue, with the Fengxing Rental company logo printed on them. They are unattended. At one end of the shelf, there is a machine that looks like a self-service operation.
"Like this... click here... click here again... then select the time you want to rent, and then pay for the magic power..."
Lilian demonstrated it to Xia Ye. When it came to the last payment step, she was about to take out the crystal ball, but Xia Ye hurriedly stopped her.
"I'll just come," she said.
"Huh? But sister Xia Ye can't pay her magic power normally?" Lilian still remembered that she couldn't pay her rent.
"Maybe the method was wrong at that time, so I want to try again now."
Xia Ye said, selecting "manual payment" on the payment method interface, and then pressed her palm on the designated position of the crystal plate.
She concentrated her mind and imagined that she was completing a contract - voluntarily overdrafting 1 mol of magic power to obtain the right to use the broom for four hours.
"Payment completed." A prompt pops up on the screen.
At the same time, Xia Ye felt a small amount of magic flow out of her empty cup. She raised her right hand and saw that the number on her wrist had changed from -2503 to -2504.
Sure enough, she thought silently, only "payment" can reveal the magic from the cup, but "transfer" cannot. When she paid the rent before, the reason why she failed was because she was thinking about "transferring" 120 moles of magic power to Lilian, instead of "paying" the 120 moles of magic power herself.
However, to confirm this conjecture, it would be best to try it again on the same subjects.
"Look, it worked." Xia Ye pointed at the screen and said to Lilian.
"In other words, Sister Xia Ye can use her magic power to buy things normally in the future?" Lilian asked.
"Well, that's right."
"That's great."
"Yes, I can also pay you back the rent I owe you."
Hearing what Xia Ye said, Lillian waved her hands quickly: "You don't have to pay that back...ah!"
Before she finished speaking, Xia Ye had already grabbed her hand. Lilian subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away, but Xia Ye exerted a slight force, and her slender but powerful fingers firmly bound the girl's little hand in her palm.
The soft white light came on and off. This time, Xia Ye felt that the magic power was successfully overdrawn from the cup.
She let go of Lilian's hand, turned her wrist up to her eyes, and saw that the number had indeed become -2624.
"You made my hands hurt..." Lilian lowered her head and rubbed her palms, complaining softly.
"I don't like owing things to others." Xia Ye said.
"Oh..." The girl pouted in response and said nothing more.
Xia Ye turned around and took down the broom she rented from the shelf. In Debsota, "broom" had become a word that specifically refers to the witch's flying tool. Almost no one knew that there was another kind of broom that was a cleaning tool. After all, if you want to clean the floors at home, you only need a level 1 witch contract "Dust Avoidance Technique" to solve the problem.
And the appearance of the broom in his hand was no longer the same as the broom in Xia Ye's memory.
First of all, it is foldable and is only about half a meter long when folded. As long as you press your thumb on the designated position, it will unfold with a "click" and become a stick-like object about one meter and five meters long. , suspended in mid-air less than one meter high.
Secondly, at its tail, of course there is no such thing as a broom whisk. Instead, there are several triangular structures similar to spouts. The spouts are not painted and shine with a silver metallic luster.
Finally, and the most crucial point, Xia Ye has always been wondering before - the witch is flying on a broom, whether she is sitting sideways or in any other position, won't her buttocks be hurt by the diaphragm?
Only now, after she actually sat on it, did she finally know the answer - no, at least not completely. When Xia Ye sat on it, the broom immediately produced something similar to a force field, which supported her body, expanded the force-bearing area, and also helped her maintain balance.
But even so, the broom is still not that comfortable to sit on, but after all, this is just a rental broom. If it is a high-end one, maybe the comfort will be better?
The broomstick relies on magic power to fly, and these magic powers naturally come from the user himself. Although she had only traveled to this world for less than two days, Xia Ye had gradually discovered that it seemed that magic power was required in every aspect of daily life.
"Lillian, let's go." Xia Ye said.
"Okay, sister Xia Ye, what should I buy first?"
Even though Lillian had been silent since she said "Oh" just now, when you talk to her again now, her reaction has completely returned to normal.
"Let's buy clothes and hats first." Xia Ye thought for a while and said. She was still very concerned about her image, not to mention that the clothes she was wearing now were worn when she was still a corpse, so it always felt a little weird if she never changed them.
"Sister Xia Ye, do you have any requirements?" Lillian asked again, "If you want to buy the kind you are wearing now, the price is probably not cheap, so you have to go to the middle-class area..."
"No, no, no..." Xia Ye waved her hands quickly, "I want a large quantity, good-looking and cheap ones."
When it comes to dressing, she has always implemented a unique pragmatism - first of all, clothes are for others to see; secondly, clothes are a consumable.
Therefore, before traveling through time, Xia Ye liked to pick out a bunch of good-looking but inexpensive clothes at once. She would wear each piece of clothing for at most two months before throwing it away. Of course, when all the clothes were consumed, she would A new batch will be selected.
Because the clothes were thrown away so quickly, even though each piece was not expensive, the amount of money Xia Ye spent on the clothes was also a large amount, but for her financial resources at that time, it was just a little bit insignificant. Just a small amount of money.
"The quantity is nice and not expensive..." Lilian thought for a while and suddenly smiled, "I understand, I know a store that meets the requirements of Sister Xia Ye. Speaking of which, I often buy clothes there. .”
"Then let's set off."
"Um."
Lillian rode her broom and rose first. Xia Ye was a little slower and soon flew into the sky.
It was not difficult to control the broom... No, it should be said that there was a sense of familiarity that was beyond her expectation. The body of the original host obviously still retained the physical memory of operating the broom. In just a few dozen seconds, she was able to control it. Fly freely in the sky.
The refreshing wind blew in the face, and under the adjustment of the broom's own force field, it was neither too big nor too small. Xia Ye and Lillian walked side by side, walking between tall buildings and flying towards their destination.
