Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Chapter 74 Merlin's Theory of Magic

 
——Two years later.
"Teacher, I have a question to ask you."

"I don't know~"
In the witch's room, the witch, curled up in the quilt, lazily rejected Merlin's questions.
Angelica lay on the bed, flipping through a magazine, and stretched out her hand to put the delicious potato chips into her mouth, but she didn't grab the chips.

When I looked up, I saw Merlin holding potato chips and a Coke in his left and right hands respectively, with a helpless look on his face.
"Teacher, you are eating this kind of useless food again. Ever since this thing called Coke came out a year ago, I have been holding on to it every day and can't figure out what's so good about it."
"Woo woo...give me back my happy water..."

"Teacher, pretending to cry doesn't work for me anymore."
Merlin shook his head. In the past two years, he had figured out the witch's tricks. She was very good at taking advantage of her beauty and felt at ease. If he couldn't get used to it, he would be led by the witch. Fortunately, after two years of living together day and night, Merlin had become immune to the witch's tricks.
"Hmph... Merlin, you're not cute at all. I haven't had a carbonated drink in a long time, so I have to drink as much as I can."

"Long time? I remember it was invented not long ago. Could it have appeared before?"
The cola in the other world was invented in a town where prohibition was implemented. The brewer in the town originally planned to use black technology to brew illegal liquor and sell it, but he accidentally brewed cola, which eventually became a hit and quickly became a popular drink across the continent.
"It's complicated to explain...Okay, you go out first. I need to get dressed."

"You're just fooling me again, right? I'm not leaving."
"Foolish disciple."
Angelica angrily kicked out Merlin who was looking forward to it. Two years ago, Merlin would have blushed and been at a loss, but now he was unmoved and even looked forward to it. Although it was natural for him to be interested in her impeccable body, Angelica still found it more fun to tease the shy Merlin.

After putting on his regular clothes, Merlin waited for Angelica in the courtyard and handed a glass of water to the witch.
"Here, teacher."
"They actually offered me water... Oh, is there a mysterious potion in it that can make me sleep?"
"No. Why would the teacher think in that direction?"

"Every time I go out, the mercenaries in the tavern will try every means to get me drunk. I've trained myself to the point where I can tell what's in the tavern just by smelling it."
Angelica sniffed the edge of the glass and immediately raised her eyebrows. She noticed that there was something strange about this clear glass of water.
"Is this... a liquid created by the impact of the water flow of Aquarius Sequence 8?"

"Yes, I collected it."
"Merlin, the water created by the Aquarius Sequence Eight Water Flow Impact is not drinkable."
"It is true."

Merlin wasn't surprised by the witch's conclusion.
"I studied the amount of mana consumed and the amount of water flow created by the water impact, and found that at my current level, if I eat normally for a day, the amount of water I can create alone is enough to fill up the entire reservoir."
"Your level has surpassed many amateur magic apprentices."

"But there are many magicians who are more powerful than me, right? I can create such a huge water flow, so there is no reason why other famous magicians cannot do it. Sequence Eight magic is not difficult to master, but there are still many countries and towns in the world that cannot drink water. This is really too abnormal."
Merlin took the water cup ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) from the witch and drank the liquid inside.
"So I tried to drink only the liquid created by the water flow for a few days, but I found that I still felt thirsty and I didn't replenish my energy at all. Teacher, magic... can't create objects that replenish energy, right?"

"If I could, I wouldn't have to worry about food every time I travel."
Angelica also complained about this, but Merlin came to the correct conclusion.
"Not only food, but also magic that can create water. The water flow is a magical liquid similar to water. It can neither replenish moisture nor be used to water plants. Magic cannot create any objects that replenish energy. The most it can do is store food like raisins in space."

"What a pity. If the water produced by water impact can be drunk, there may be no more water shortages in the world."
"That's hard to say. Take Water Stream Impact for example. Although it's only Sequence 8 magic, some people may never be able to learn it in their entire lives."
“But some people can’t learn it, and no one can learn it are two different concepts.”

Merlin's expression was extremely serious.
"As long as someone can learn it, there is a chance to bring the blessing of magic to distant places."
"…Interesting idea."

Angelica felt a little surprised. To be fair, Merlin's talent was quite good. If Angelica had not taught him magic, Merlin would probably have ended his life as a poacher without discovering his magical talent.
However, Merlin, at such a young age, showed a thinking ability that was not in line with his age, which really impressed Angelica. So Angelica asked Merlin more seriously.
"Merlin, let me ask you a question. What kind of magic do you think is powerful magic?"

This is a meaningless question.
No teacher in any magic academy would ask students such questions, and if a student asked a teacher such questions, he would most likely be treated as a disruptor of class and sent to the corridor for punishment.
Because the answer is obvious. Sequence One magic can only be learned by one person, and the profound knowledge and mysteries it contains are the direction of every magician's lifelong study.

Merlin answered without hesitation.
"Sequence One magic... and Sequence Nine magic."
"Oh? Sequence Nine magic? Why? Because it is the foundation for studying magic?"

"No. Because the learning threshold of Sequence 9 magic is very low, and it is very helpful in life. There is almost no limit on the number of people who can learn it. I think Sequence 9 magic has a chance to enter everyone’s household."
【Witch TIPS】
The name of the "white" witch Coppelia comes from the ballet "The Girl with the Enamel Eyes". The Coppelia in the story is a lifelike mechanical doll, and a man even falls in love with her at first sight and shows his affection to her in every way.

Coppelia in this book is also an extraordinary person who uses a puppet body to continuously transfer her consciousness. After she successfully creates a new body, she will immediately destroy the original old body.
