Chapter 240 This Is Not a Deal
There is a small garden diagonally in front of the teaching building, only about 300 steps across.
At the outermost part of the garden is a row of tall shrubs, about 1.45 meters high, trimmed into wall stacks and parapets. They are neatly taken care of by the school staff on weekdays. Occasionally, grasshoppers get into the bushes. If you build a nest, you will be picked out by the school guards within a day and thrown out of the garden.
The interior of the garden is mainly composed of three parts: the pavilion in the center of the garden, the pool around the pavilion, and the cobblestone path surrounding the pool.
The pavilion is beautifully decorated with cornices and brackets, but because it is located in an open space, it is too conspicuous, so few people go inside on weekdays.
The water in the pool is living water. It is said that there is a spring moved by the school working committee from the Silent Forest at the bottom of the pool. It is not big, but it is more than enough to fill a pool, and the excess water will flow along the narrow culvert outside the garden. Enter Linzhong Lake.
Although the culvert is narrow, it cannot stop the many strange things in Linzhong Lake. Therefore, students visiting the garden will always see small red-tailed fish in the pool from time to time, as well as young kappas and mutants chasing them. Water ghost.
The cobblestones paving the way are thin and small and very comfortable to step on. Both sides of the path are filled with flowers of various colors, including magnolias, roses, roses, lilies, peonies, etc. There are enough colors to bloom here in every season.
Because it was the weekend, there were almost no students staying in front of the teaching building. Most people hurried to the library to catch up on their homework after the regular meeting, so when the two witches walked around the pool, the surroundings were very quiet.
After walking around the pool, Elena finally said: "Do you know the current predicament of the Gypsy Witches?"
Jiang Yu hesitated for a few seconds and nodded: "I know."
For unknown reasons, fewer and fewer high-level wizards are born in the Gypsy Witches, and even the number of registered wizards is constantly decreasing. The rate of decline is even close to catching up with the Babylonian mages. As an ancient wizarding organization, it is not difficult for their plight to be known to other equally ancient organizations or wizarding families.
Regarding the plight of the Gypsy witches, Jiang Yu could pretend not to know anything about it in order to maintain the small self-esteem of her classmates. But this is of no use. Now that Elena has spoken, she is naturally not afraid of her knowing.
The Gypsy Witch breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and her tone became much lighter: "That's good... If I were asked to repeat it again, I would feel embarrassed."
Having said that, there was no trace of embarrassment in her expressions and movements, and she was still so delicate and beautiful.
After Jiang Yu secretly admired her in her heart, she carefully asked, "Is the fact that you are looking for me related to this matter?"
Elena did not beat around the bush and explained her purpose: "Now I have found a solution to the dilemma, but it requires a little blood of the spirit witch... Don't worry, it will definitely not have any impact on the spirit witch. All we need is The lively spirit in her blood.”
Jiang Yu's figure suddenly stopped, and his face darkened.
For wizards, blood has the same magical power as real names. Even if a close friend uses these two things, it may cause them to fall out, let alone if they are just classmates and have casual friendships.
With Elena's intelligence, she should know this taboo, but there should be a reason why she still dared to speak in front of him. With these thoughts running through Jiang Yu's mind, she did not turn around and leave immediately.
A tree sperm came out of the bushes. When he saw the figures of the two witches, he was keenly aware of the low air pressure around him. He was startled. He stepped hard on the ground with his paws and jumped back into the bushes. The fine thin layer of snow at the soles of the bushes was trampled to pieces by the ten thousand-year-old grass. Even though the antler begonia it wanted to eat was only one meter away from where it emerged.
"Originally, I should have waited for a more appropriate opportunity to talk to you about this matter in a more tactful way. But on Saturday, our magic circle will be completed. I need to get the spirit witch's certificate before performing the magic ceremony. blood."
"We also planned to buy some witch blood from the wandering wizard, but we have already bought too many things from the old wizard. In order to avoid him noticing anything, we can only give up that channel."
Moreover, my tarot cards tell me that you will eventually agree to this deal, Elena added silently in her heart.
Jiang Yu turned sideways and stared at the quiet pool. Elena could only see her side face. The rockery in the pool fell like a heavy shadow on the hearts of the two witches. The water lilies and iris beside the rockery all had their heads drooped, looking weak. Occasionally, a few lively small fish pass by their stems, causing a few ripples.
The gypsy witch didn't seem to notice Jiang Yu's expression. After pausing for a few seconds, she added quickly: "You can monitor the whole process of using our blood, and we won't even touch that tube from beginning to end. You are responsible for all the blood... You can check the principles and structure of the magic circle, and you can terminate the agreement at any time if you find the slightest bit of danger."
These terms are already very loose. Through these terms, Jiang Yu can completely see the sincerity of the Gypsy Witch. This made her look a little better.
But it was only a little better, and she still wasn't going to take unnecessary risks with her cousin's blood.
Elena gave the next card: "You will gain the friendship of the Gypsy Witches... If you want jade coins, you can tell me a number; if you want Tarot card divination tips or Gypsy Witches I can also find a way to bring you the recipe for the magic potion."
For an ancient wizard family, the declining Gypsy witch group is indeed not attractive; but for a young wizard in the ancient family, the friendship of an equally ancient wizard organization is very attractive. . In addition, Gypsy witches have a very deep accumulation in divination and magic potions, which are very attractive to any wizard.
The anger on Jiang Yu's face gradually dissipated, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Elena bit her lip and threw out her last straw: "Zheng Qing, it's yours too."
After saying this, she seemed to have finally been relieved of a heavy burden, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"This is not part of the deal." She was worried that her concession would be counterproductive, and immediately added: "This is not part of the deal."
A thin layer of red cloud suddenly appeared on Jiang Yu's face, showing shame, annoyance, and a hint of embarrassment. But because night fell, this layer of red clouds was not conspicuous.
She finally raised her head, looked at the gypsy witch, and looked into her eyes seriously:
"does it worth?"
