Chapter 390 Winter

After Bai Zhi finished washing, he wrung out the towel and hung it on the snow-covered balcony.

It only takes one day for the towel to freeze completely, and when you use it the next day, you only need to knead and pat it repeatedly to remove the ice residue. Of course, she could also use her abilities to quickly evaporate the water in a warm room, but in this way, she would reduce the number of daily exercises.

Bai Zhi knew that the magic power in his body was the lowest level among witches, so each part had to be used accurately.

After cleaning, there was a knock on the door. Almost every day at this time, Sister Wendy would take her to the castle hall for breakfast.

"Coming soon!"

Bai Zhi happily opened the door, and it was indeed Wendy standing outside—she hugged herself affectionately, sniffed her cheek, "Well, yes, it's cleaned."

"Hey." Bai Zhi grinned, took Wendy's hand and walked towards the hall.

It has been nearly half a month since she came to Border Town, and she is basically used to the way of life in the castle.

You don't have to leave the shack early to find food, and you don't have to worry about the firewood you picked up being stolen. The time spent on filling your stomach and keeping warm is all free, and replaced by magic exercises and learning knowledge. She only fantasized about such a life when chatting with her companions, and the only ones who don't have to worry about survival are the young masters and ladies of the noble families.

Bai Zhi never thought that such a day would happen to him.

Wendy's palms are soft and warm. This feeling has never been experienced in the slums, as if someone is always thinking about and loving her... She hopes to stay in this warm place forever.

If it was a dream, she would rather never wake up again.

Walking into the hall, Bai Zhi saw that the witches did not sit at the long table to eat as usual, but surrounded one wall and yelled non-stop.

She blinked curiously, but was embarrassed to ask Wendy what they were doing.

And the latter seemed to see through her thoughts, and said with a smile, "The sisters are all testing their "combat power". "

"Combat power?" Bai Zhi was slightly taken aback, "That's... what?

"You don't have to pay attention to the weird words that come out of His Highness's mouth." Wendy bent down, lifted the little girl, and placed it on her shoulder. "Did you see that silver-white metal piece? It is said to be four hundred The relic of the witch kingdom for many years is also a weapon used by extraordinary people to fight. Only those with strong magic power can stimulate its power. So His Highness put it in the hall so that everyone can test their magic power level, or Said...satisfies the curiosity of the sisters-can light up the four magic stones on it once, which is equivalent to the combat power of a single mind."

"..." Blank Paper felt extremely confused, Kingdom of Witches? Extraordinary? magic stone? Words that she had never heard before made her confused for a while, but this did not affect the shock brought by the scene in front of her in the slightest—the witches put their hands on the metal plate in turn, making the gemstones embedded on it glow brightly. The light, like colorful stars, looks incredible.

"I can light up two of them," Lightning shouted, who was about the same age as herself. There was also a fat pigeon squatting on her shoulder. Bai Zhi remembered that it was also a witch, and it seemed to be called Maggie.

"Two and a half coos!" the pigeon hooted triumphantly.

"Hey, you're actually taller than me? That's impossible!"

"You want to try it too?" Wendy smiled, "I guess not now, you haven't learned how to inject magic power into the magic stone, let alone activate the sigil. But His Royal Highness stipulated that this is a course that witches must take, so, You'll soon have a practice glowstone, too."

A gemstone that is crystal clear and shines like that? Bai Zhi suddenly became excited, and nodded to Wendy repeatedly, "I will practice hard!"

"Good boy," Wendy smiled and rubbed her cheeks, "Eat first, you will have the energy to practice when you are full."

...

After drinking the porridge, Bai Zhi returned to the Witch Tower and started the daily practice.

Wendy told her that everything in this world is made up of invisible spheres, and material changes are also the separation and joining of spheres, and her ability is to accelerate this process, rather than simply melting ice and snow Or let the hot water cool down.

Although she doesn't quite understand the meaning of these words, she still follows Wendy's request meticulously, feels the magic power contained in her body, and releases it evenly - the life in the slums in her early years made her understand that she can live a happy life with everyone Such a good life is because His Highness needs the power of a witch, which is also her only value. If she wants not to be abandoned, she must do her best.

Suddenly, Bai Zhi felt a cramping pain in her abdomen, and the magic power trembled in her body, as if she was about to burst out, she couldn't help but hum.

"What's wrong?" Wendy who was by the side asked.

"No, it's okay," she shook her head, "The magic power seemed out of control just now."

"Uncontrollable..." The other party thought for a moment, "Do you remember when you became a witch?"

"It's probably winter," Bai Zhi whispered, "I can't remember the exact date."

"It's the end of autumn, and it's only a few days before winter," Wendy suppressed her smile, "As the day of awakening approaches, the magic power in the body will become active, which is also a sign of backlash. Take a rest first, and I'll go Call Nightingale, she can see the magic changes in your body." She walked to the door and turned around and added, "Don't worry, for the witches in Border Town, this is no longer a matter of life or death."

...

Wendy's guess was confirmed.

Three days later, Bai Zhi ushered in his second awakening day.

Lying on the big bed, looking at the visiting witches around her, listening to their comforting words, she suddenly had the urge to cry.

The pain of being burned by magic power when he first awakened in memory seems to be less unbearable.

"Because your practice time is short, there is no guarantee that the backlash pain will be completely eliminated," Wendy said while sitting on the head of the bed, stroking her hair, "but compared to the suffering of adulthood, this pain is nothing, you must You can bear it. Remember, don’t have the idea of ​​giving up, and don’t let yourself lose consciousness.”

White Paper nodded.

She didn't dare to answer, for she was afraid that once she opened her mouth, she would not be able to help crying.

She didn't want everyone to see her embarrassing appearance.

Crying is the worst sign of weakness in the ghetto, and only a man who has given up struggling will do it.

Bai Zhi closed her eyes, waiting for that moment to come.

...

When she opened her eyes, the window was already white.

The backlash process was much weaker than she had imagined, so that all the rescue methods prepared by everyone were useless. When she woke up, she felt that the magic power in her body was filled a lot, and it seemed that subtle changes had taken place all over her body. Her eyes could see farther, and her hands and feet became stronger.

After washing his cheeks, Wendy's knock on the door rang right on time.

"I'm coming," Bai Zhi happily opened the door and took her hand, but this time the other party did not take her to the castle hall, but to the third floor, the lord's office.

The gray-haired big man smiled and handed a piece of parchment to himself.

"From today onwards, you are an official member of the Witch Union."
