After washing with white paper, wring out the towel and hang it on the balcony covered with ice and snow.
In just one day, the towel will be completely frozen, and when you use it the next day, just knead and beat it repeatedly to remove the ice. Of course, she can also use the ability to quickly evaporate the water in the warm room, but this will reduce the number of daily exercises.
Bai Zhi knew that the magic power in his body was the last level among witches, so every one had to be used precisely.
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 cheerfully opened the door, and it was indeed Wendy standing outside. She hugged herself affectionately, and sniffed on her cheek, "Well, yes, it's clean."
"Hehe." Bai Zhi grinned and 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.
There is no need to leave the shack early to look for food, and there is no need to worry about the firewood being stolen. The time spent on filling the stomach and warming up is all free, and it is replaced by magic practice and knowledge. She only fantasized about such a life when she was chatting with her companions, and the only ones who could not worry about survival at all were the young masters and young ladies of the big noble families.
Bai Zhi didn't expect that he would have such a day.
Wendy's palm was soft and warm, a feeling she had never experienced in the slums, as if someone always cared about and loved her... She hoped to stay in this warm place all the time.
If it was a dream, she would rather never wake up again.
Walking into the hall, White Paper saw that the witches did not sit at the long table to eat as they used to, but were shouting around a wall.
She blinked curiously, but was embarrassed to ask Wendy what they were doing.
The latter seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled, "The sisters are all testing their combat effectiveness."
"Combat strength?" Bai Zhi was slightly startled, "That's... what
"You don't need to pay attention to the weird remarks that came 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 piece of metal? It is said to be four hundred The relic of the witch kingdom for many years is also the weapon used by the superhumans to fight. Only those with powerful magic can inspire its power. So His Highness put it in the hall so that everyone can test their magic level, or Saying... Satisfying the curiosity of the sisters and lighting up the four magic stones in one go is equivalent to the combat power of a single god."
"..." Bai Zhi felt extremely confused, Witch Kingdom? Extraordinary? Magic stone? The words she had never heard before made her puzzled for a while, but this did not affect the shock brought by the sight in front of her. The witches took turns placing their hands on the metal plate, so that the gems embedded on it glowed brightly. Like colorful stars, it looks incredible.
"I can light up two of them," Lightning shouted, who was about the same age as herself, with a fat pigeon squatting on her shoulders. The white paper remembered that it was also a witch, and she seemed to be called Maisie.
"Two and a half goo!" the pigeon chirped triumphantly.
"Hey, you're actually taller than me? It's impossible!"
"Do you want to try it too?" Wendy smiled, "It's not possible now, you haven't learned how to infuse magic power into the magic stone, let alone activate the talisman. However, His Highness stipulates that this is a course that witches must take, so, You'll soon have a glowing stone for practice too."
A gem that is crystal clear and radiant like that? Bai Zhi was immediately excited and nodded to Wendy, "I will practice hard!"
"Good boy," Wendy smiled and rubbed her cheek, "Eat first, and then you will have the strength to practice when you are full."
…
After drinking the porridge, Bai Zhi returned to the witch's building and started his daily practice.
Wendy told her that everything in this world is made up of small balls that cannot be seen, and material changes are also the separation and joining of small balls, and her ability is to accelerate this process, not simply to melt ice and snow. Or let the hot water cool down.
Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of these words, she still meticulously followed Wendy's request, felt the magic power in her body, and evenly released the slum life in her early years to make her understand that she could live so well with everyone. Her life is because His Highness needs the power of a witch, which is her only value. If you want to not be abandoned, you must do your best.
Suddenly, Bai Zhi felt a colicky pain in her abdomen, and the magic power vibrated in her body, as if she was about to break out of her body, she couldn't help snorting.
"What's wrong?" asked Wendy, who was with him.
"No, it's fine," she shook her head, "the magic seemed to be out of control just now."
"Uncontrolled..." The other party pondered for a moment, "Do you remember when you became a witch?"
"It's probably winter," Bai Zhi whispered, "I can't remember the exact day."
"It's the end of autumn now, and it's only a few days before the beginning of winter," Wendy restrained her smile. "As the awakening day approaches, the magic in the body will become active, which is also a sign of backlash. You rest first, I'll go. Call Nightingale, and she can see the magical changes in your body." She went to the door and turned around and added, "Don't worry, for the witches in Border Town, this is not a life-or-death situation."
…
Wendy's guess was confirmed.
Bai Zhi ushered in his second awakening day three days later.
She was lying on the big bed, looking at the witches who came to visit around, listening to their words of comfort, she suddenly felt the urge to cry.
The pain of being burned by magic power when he first awakened in his memory seems to have become less unbearable.
"Because your practice time is short, you can't guarantee that the pain of backlash 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 kind of pain is nothing, you must Be patient. Remember, never give up or let yourself lose consciousness.”
White Paper nodded.
She dared not open her mouth to answer, for fear that once she opened her mouth, she could not help but cry.
She didn't want everyone to see her humiliated appearance.
When living in the slums, crying is the weakest sign, and only those who have given up their struggles will do so.
Bai Zhi closed his eyes and waited for that moment to come.
…
When she opened her eyes, it was already white outside the window.
The backlash process was much weaker than she imagined, so that the various rescue methods everyone had prepared could not be used. When she woke up, she felt that the magic power in her body had filled a lot, and her whole body seemed to have undergone subtle changes, her eyes could see farther, and her hands and feet were stronger.
After washing her cheeks, Wendy knocked on the door on time.
"I'm here," Bai Zhi happily opened the door and took her hand, but this time the other party did not take him to the castle hall, but went to the lord's office on the third floor.
The big gray-haired man smiled and handed a piece of parchment to him.
"From today, you are an official member of the Witch League.".
