Chapter 45 Only Him, only Him

lively.

Noisy.

noisy.

Today's Allenson City is still as prosperous as ever.

At the customs clearance gate made of steel and gears, merchants came and went in steam magic trucks, with smiles and joy on their faces. Residents were chatting with their families and friends as usual.

No one found out.

Among the people who came in and out of Allenson City today, there was not a single big noble.

For ordinary people, great nobles are extremely rare existences, so even if the great nobles disappear, few people will notice.

Now, at this moment.

This city of steam stands on the north side of the world.

There are only a large number of civilians left inside, as well as middle-level people who are not qualified to know the truth of the matter. The real top leaders have long gone.

"I want... to buy something as soon as possible..."

In the sky over Allenson City.

Krisha no longer concealed herself, used maximum magic output, released the wind control technique to make herself fly faster, and rushed straight to the bustling market in the city center.

When she landed, people were immediately surprised.

About Krisha.

About this pretty girl.

The vendors in the market all know that she is related to an official mage. She is suspected to be a relative or the mage's personal maid.

It was precisely because of this unpredictable relationship that the witch was not harassed in any way.

But today.

Witness Krisha using magic.

The ordinary traders in the market were immediately shocked. They stared at Krisa holding the wand with wide eyes, and their tone of voice became trembling.

"Magic, that kid is actually a magician?!"

"Hiss... If I had known this, I should have been more polite before."

"By the Goddess of Harvest, this is incredible!"

People were talking a lot.

Some are envious, some are jealous, and some are completely lost.

But soon.

Everyone seemed to speak in unison, uttering various words of praise, praising Krisa to the sky, saying she was beautiful, kind, and benevolent.

What's more, they are brave enough to give away free products.

There are small and exquisite mechanical pocket watches, crisp and delicious vegetables and fruits, and women's clothing that is outrageously gorgeous.

The traders worked hard.

Scramble.

Looks fanatical.

They wanted to forcefully give Krisha the best items they could bring out.

"…boring."

Krisha calmly watched the farce before her.

Is it because it has lost the cover of the huge water vapor of the steam engine?

For some reason, even though it was the same market, the same vendors, and the same building, the ferocity and ugliness on people's faces became extremely obvious.

Everyone crowded into the same space and fawned over her in order to please her.

But.

Wasn't what I wanted most in the past just a scene like this?

No one beat her, no one spurned her, everyone was vying to be her friend, everyone was vying to get close to her, wasn't this the life that she had dreamed of before?

Why has it become so disgusting now?

"Ah, that's right..."

He looked down at his white and tender hands, and then at the exquisite wand.

Krisha suddenly understood.

The people at the scene and the crowds surging around did not like Krisa, but a beautiful female mage named "Krisa", a mage who had a brighter future than ordinary people.

What they like is not the witch, let alone Krisha herself.

From beginning to end.

He will lend a helping hand to the witch, embrace him like the sun, and give him warmth and hope.

There is always only that person.

Only he, only him, would not care if his hands were stained with mud, he would hold the stinking witch and take her home gently.

"I want to complete my mentor's instructions as soon as possible," Krisha thought, waving her wand and using wind magic to forcefully disperse the surrounding vendors.

Under the fearful gazes of the vendors, Krisha quickly locked onto various items.

food.

Daily necessities.

Clothing props.

Use wind magic to sweep them up, classify them into areas, and then use space rings to store them uniformly.

The entire process takes no more than three minutes.

Magic is such a convenient thing.

"This way you can go back."

Krisa glanced at the space ring and sensed the crowded space inside. She nodded lightly, threw out another bag of coins, and distributed them to various vendors.

Equivalent exchange.

This is the first lesson Xu Xi teaches the witch.

The witch took it to heart.

"Wind control, gather", without giving the vendors any chance to talk, Krisha waved her wand, and the whistling wind element enveloped her again and flew back towards the courtyard.

She completed the task very quickly, taking less than ten minutes total back and forth.

Maybe you can get praise from your instructor?

With such thoughts flashing through her mind, Krisha increased her magic output, making the wind stronger and the flight faster. She couldn't wait to return to Xu Xi.

But.

But why.

There will be such a heavy pain in the chest.

"Huh——", strong wind howled in the sky.

Krisha rode the strong wind and approached the courtyard at an increasingly faster speed. She was almost there. It was obvious that she was almost there, but the uneasiness in her heart became more and more obvious.

She clutched her chest, her eyes blank.

I don’t know why, I just know that my heart is very depressed, and I subconsciously speed up my flight.

This long-lost pain.

The witch panicked.

“Go back... back to the mentor…”

“As long as the mentor is here, everything can be solved.” The witch, who couldn’t understand what was happening, subconsciously chose to rely on the person she trusted the most.

Xu Xi, her mentor, her sun.

As long as she returned to Xu Xi, all the anxiety and pain would disappear, Krisa felt so sincerely.

Soon.

Krisa, who was flying at high speed, saw the familiar courtyard.

When she thought of the man in the courtyard, the depression in her heart was reduced a little.

So, Krisa speeded up, she rushed to the courtyard in a hurry that she didn’t know why, as if she didn’t care about her life, and even forgot the caution that Xu Xi often taught her.

Faster.

Faster.

Please faster.

The witch frantically urged the wind control technique, and finally, she flew near the courtyard as she wished.

But at this time.

The sky was dark.

"Bang!!!!"

An unimaginable group of fireballs fell from the sky, like millions of falling meteors, suddenly appearing over the city of Allenson.

Roaring and raging.

The high-speed impact destroyed everything.

One of the exploding fireballs fell in the courtyard where Krisa wanted to reach.

"No, wait!... No, no... No!"

Feeling something terrible, Krisa's pupils contracted, and she made a panicked sound she had never made before, so panicked that her voice trembled.

The pain in her chest reached its peak at this moment.
