Based on the knowledge stored in the cup, Xia Ye roughly knew how the witch died after her magic power was drained.
Just now Luka mentioned "summoning", and Xia Ye knew that it referred to the various changes that occurred before the witch died due to exhaustion of her magic power.
Each witch's mutation is different, some are more violent: for example, like Grady, turning into a non-human monster; or like a magic bomb, exploding with a "bang"; there are even the most difficult ones. , will open up a different space field, sucking in all the people and objects within a radius of several hundred meters...
But there are also relatively mild ones. For example, opening a plane rift, drilling into it, and disappearing without a trace; or accompanied by a burst of beautiful music, transforming into a beautiful and strange plant. The plant will go through the entire process from growth to withering and death at an extremely fast speed. At the end of the process, only a cup is left, all alone.
According to the research of scholars among witches, some of these seemingly different summons actually have similarities with each other. Based on these similarities, they classified the mutations and compared them with the pillars of the witch contract. linked by name.
For example, Grady was classified as being summoned by the "Asmodeus" pillar because he turned into a three-headed and two-winged monster before his death. As for why the "three heads and two wings" belong to the "Asmodeus" pillar, Xia Ye doesn't know.
I don’t know whether I should call it lucky or unfortunate, but the day after Xia Ye traveled to this world, I witnessed the whole process of summoning with my own eyes.
Although she knew the relevant knowledge about summoning, "knowing" and "seeing it with her own eyes" were two different things after all.
Now she finally had an intuitive feeling, and her thoughts were——
generally.
Although the monster looked disgusting, its strength was just that. He was beaten by Luka and several others until he had no temper at all, and it was finished not long after.
It's really... average.
Just like the cup left by Grady, it is ordinary and will probably be forgotten after today.
At least the story you told is quite interesting, much more interesting than you yourself, Xia Ye thought in her heart.
I will remember it so that all the hard work you put in before you die is not completely in vain.
"Luca." She stepped forward, "The mission is over?"
"Well, it went well this time." Luka squatted on the ground, seeming to be looking for something. When Xia Ye walked over, she stood up, holding a few talismans that were twisting like living creatures in her hands. arts.
That's a witch's contract.
After the witch's cup is taken out, the witch contract she signed will "separate" from the body, that is, it will return to the state before signing. Of course, for ease of use, they often need to be re-encapsulated with crystals.
Beside Luka, Alyssa had formed a transparent ice box in her palm. Luka stretched out her hand and threw the runes in her hands into the ice box. Those living creatures were like runes and were trying to escape, but Alyssa had quickly closed them. After closing the lid, they hit the ice wall. The seemingly fragile ice wall did not move at all, so the contract had to stay in the box obediently.
"In order to escape from debt, Grady actually signed four contracts for fighting." Seeing Xia Ye's eyes falling on the witch contract, Luka said without hesitation: "Add these contracts... plus By selling all her cups, we should be able to recover a lot of debt, and we can expect a commission from this order. Speaking of which, the main reason why this task is so easy is because of your contribution."
"So I can also get a share of the commission?" Xia Ye joked.
Luka shook her head apologetically: "Sorry, according to company regulations, I can't do this. However, I can give you my own commission."
"No need." Xia Ye waved her hands repeatedly, "Actually, I just wanted to ask you for a small favor, and it will be my reward this time."
Luka didn't even ask what the "little favor" Xia Ye was talking about was, and nodded in agreement: "No problem, I just have a task, and I wanted to ask if you are interested..."
Before she finished speaking, Alyssa's voice suddenly intervened: "Lulu, Ka, Captain, the ice is almost melting——"
The purple-haired girl had an impatient expression on her face. Although the ice box containing the contract in her hand showed no signs of melting, Luka still nodded to her: "We'll leave right away."
"Sorry..." She turned around and said to Xia Ye.
"It doesn't matter."
Xia Ye showed a sweet and considerate smile, which made Alyssa squeeze the ice box in her hand and said, "How about tomorrow morning? Let's talk in detail tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Luka agreed readily, "What's the address?"
"I'm not familiar with this place, you decide."
"Then meet here." Luka took out a note paper and pen from one of the many small pockets, quickly wrote an address and handed it to Xia Ye.
Xia Ye glanced at it. Of course she didn't know where it was, but it didn't matter. She could ask Lilian later.
"Well, see you tomorrow."
After Luka finished speaking, he led the team and left quickly from the terrace.
Xia Ye looked at the other person's back thoughtfully. After about ten seconds, she turned around and asked, "Lillian, what time is it now?"
"Uh... around six o'clock."
"It's so late?" Xia Ye frowned slightly: "I was going to buy a lot of things today, but after being interrupted by that guy, it seems I can't afford it."
"We can come out early tomorrow morning..."
"I have an appointment with Luka tomorrow morning." Xia Ye said.
"Oh, yes." Lillian looked a little disappointed, but then she smiled again: "What about tomorrow afternoon?"
Xia Ye thought for a while and agreed to Lilian's arrangement: "Well, let's go out and buy some tomorrow afternoon."
"Great!"
"But now, let's settle the clothes issue first. Lillian, please help me pick out a few outfits." Xia Ye said. After trying on clothes, she really didn't want to choose any more clothes.
"Okay, then this set, this set, this set, this set, and..."
Although Xia Ye said to pick a few outfits at random, Lilian obviously had already made a choice in her mind. After a while, she hung more than twenty sets of dresses neatly on another shelf and pushed them in front of Victoria.
"Pay the bill, boss!"
Even though she had made such a big deal, Victoria didn't seem to care at all. She simply counted the number of dresses, did a mental calculation, and said: "Twenty-three sets, the original price is 110 moles, and it's 30% off. 33 moles, round up and settle the bill."
With so many clothes, even if the original price was calculated, the total was only over a hundred moles. Xia Ye once again confirmed the fact that 1 mole was "very valuable", and at the same time, he also realized once again how expensive the two contracts on his body were.
6400 plus 2400 equals 8800 moles, which is enough to buy more than 5,000 sets of clothes... Xia Ye doubts that she will be able to wear so many clothes in her life.
While she was thinking about these messy questions, she revealed that she paid 33 moles to Victoria. The number on the wrist also changed from -2630 to -2663.
"Let's follow the old method. Pack these clothes and send them directly to my address." Lillian said to Victoria.
"no problem."
Seeing that the twists and turns of the clothes-buying operation finally came to a successful conclusion, Xia Ye suddenly remembered a question and had to confirm it with Victoria.
She took the Lolita dress she wore before, walked up to Victoria, and asked, "Grady said before that the fabric of this dress is only used in Uptown. Is that true?"
Victoria didn't look at the skirt in her hand, but looked at Xia Ye from head to toe again.
"It's true," she said. "I knew it right away when I saw you. That's why I joked that Lilian might have tricked that young lady from uptown."
"So, do you think I'm from Shangcheng District?" Xia Ye asked nervously. This is related to the origin of the original host, and it is also likely to be related to the whereabouts of her head.
But Victoria slowly shook her head: "No, I don't think so."
"Why?"
"Because as far as I know, there is no guy like you in the upper city." The blonde witch stared at Xia Ye sharply, "There was no one in the past, and there should be no one now."
Xia Ye ignored the other person's look and continued to ask curiously: "What kind of guy do you think I am?"
"A dangerous person with a bad personality," Victoria replied.
"There are many people with bad personalities in Uptown, and there are also a few dangerous elements, but as far as I know, there are no dangerous people with bad personalities like you."
