She Is Not a Witch

Every morning, the girl would teach Pullman some knowledge and answer his questions. In the afternoon, he would practice and study the knowledge recorded in the legacy jewel on his own.

Loranhil immediately used the 5 draw chances she obtained from completing the task.

A large slot machine appeared on the virtual interface. As the girl pulled the lever, countless patterns flashed rapidly across the screen before slowly coming to a stop.

Blue

Gold!

Finally, the slot machine spat out 5 virtual small boxes.

Obtained: [Blood Vitalizing Potion] recipe (Bronze grade)

Obtained: [White Steel Armor] crafting manual (Silver grade)

Obtained: [Holy Lance] crafting manual (Gold grade)

Obtained: [Bubble Potion] recipe (Bronze grade)

Obtained: [Purification Potion] recipe (Silver grade)

Not bad luck, with a gold item at only 5% probability, the girl thought as she stored these recipes and manuals in her system. Unfortunately, she currently lacked the raw materials to craft these items, so she’d have to wait a while before making them.

In her spare time, Loranhil would stay in the cottage in the maple forest, researching various things. Recently, she had been trying to improve some fruit tree and crop varieties, both to prepare ingredients for potion recipes and to provide food for long-term living.

After nearly a month of adjustment, she finally succeeded in creating three excellent varieties.

[Green Tangerine Tree · Special] (Silver grade): Improved from ordinary tangerine trees, needs to grow in Mana-rich areas. Bears fruit once a year, fruits can be preserved long-term, and have purifying, detoxifying, and body-improving effects.

[Red Pomegranate Tree · Special] (Bronze grade): Improved from ordinary pomegranate trees, needs to grow in areas with relatively rich Mana. Bears fruit twice a year, fruits can greatly replenish nutrition and aid in cultivating supernatural sequences.

[Wheat] (Black Iron grade): Improved from ordinary wheat, can be planted on any land that’s not too barren. Can be planted twice a year, high yield, rich in nutrients.

Good, now there’s no need to worry about food for the time being.

Loranhil first planted two rows of fruit trees near the Amber Red Leaf Maple, then cleared a field in the maple forest to plant wheat.

She actually preferred rice, but unfortunately couldn’t find any traces of rice paddies in the forest. Wheat flour was quite good too, with many varieties like noodles, steamed buns, flower rolls, pancakes, spring rolls, dumplings, and so on. The thought made her quite excited.

In three months, Pullman would have learned most of the theoretical knowledge, and all that would remain was to put it into practice.

“Teacher, I think I’m ready.”

After months of Loranhil’s continuous feeding, Pullman’s body had become much stronger compared to before. His angular muscles, trained through exercise and supernatural sequence cultivation, were now full of power.

“You think you’re ready again.”

Loranhil sat on a tree branch, her fair calves exposed from her dress, swaying gently in the air.

Unfortunately, the young man’s view could only go this far. He actually had a question in his mind: why could his teacher always perfectly angle herself so that he could only see her calves at most? He hadn’t even seen what her knees looked like. Was this really a coincidence?

Pullman’s previous constitution wasn’t good, making it difficult to cultivate supernatural sequences. Loranhil had ripened several [Green Tangerine Fruits] (Rare Silver grade) for him to eat, which allowed him to cultivate to War Sequence 1 · Black Armor Attendant.

Then, feeding him a [Red Pomegranate] (Rare Bronze grade) almost daily to accelerate his cultivation, he had recently reached Supernatural Sequence 2 · Black Prison Swordsman.

The girl blinked, and the system displayed Pullman’s information.

Name: Pullman

Race: Human (Adapter 92%)

Identity: None

Status: Healthy (No abnormalities)

Sequence: War Sequence 2 · Black Prison Swordsman (Overall rating: Outstanding Black Iron grade)

Talent:

[Tenacity] (Outstanding grade): Possesses excellent will and endurance, can become an outstanding warrior.

Abilities:

[Iron Bones] (Excellent): Bones have been strengthened, very tough, can withstand greater force. (Tenacity +1, originally only normal grade)

[Black Prison Body Sword] (Outstanding): Can make the blade sharper and inflict slight soul damage.

Skills: [New Moon Military Sword Art] (Rare): Version 7.26 improved over several generations by the Mercury Dynasty. Although it doesn’t have special effects, it has no weaknesses either. Comprehensively increases the user’s combat ability in various aspects, with extremely strong adaptability and compatibility. (Training progress 30%)

Hmm, not bad. In the era of the Mercury Dynasty, he could have been a small squad leader in the lowest-tier auxiliary legion.

When he fully masters the New Moon Military Sword Art, he might be able to advance another step.

Although both at Sequence 2, the system gave very different overall ratings to Pullman and Loranhil.

Loranhil was Perfect Silver grade, while Pullman was Outstanding Black Iron grade, with a big Bronze gap between them.

“Go 23 kilometers east, there’s a dragon blood bat. Kill it, and you’ll have graduated.”

The girl tossed Pullman a green fruit and continued speaking.

“That bat is poisonous. If you get poisoned, you can eat this as an antidote. But this [Green Tangerine Fruit], as you know from eating it before, can improve your constitution. It would be even more beneficial if eaten during advancement.”

“If you can defeat that bat without getting poisoned, this fruit will be your reward, which will greatly help your future advancements.”

“Let me see the results of your learning, Pullman.”

“No problem, teacher. Just watch me.”

Pullman was, after all, still a young man, with a desire to show off his strength in front of the girl, to prove he was extraordinary.

With that, he packed some food, picked up his obsidian sword, and set off eastward.

Speaking of that sword, since smelting iron in the forest was too troublesome, Loranhil had simply used local materials, cutting a large piece of obsidian into a sword for Pullman to use and practice with.

The hilt was wrapped with cloth strips to prevent hand cuts, and he had been polishing the blade daily, making it extremely sharp.

Watching Pullman’s figure gradually disappear into the forest, Loranhil lightly jumped down from the tree branch. Starting from her toes, a transparent air current formed a sphere that enveloped her entire body. Then this sphere carried Loranhil into the sky, overlooking the vast expanse of mountains and forests.

The Tisilan Mountain Range was a branch of the Sigh Mountain Range in the center of the continent. The Sigh Mountain Range divided the Ivar Western Continent into two parts, east and west.

To cross the Sigh Mountain Range on foot, one could only go through Emenas in the center of the continent. Emenas was a wide river valley that ran east to west. This river was also the continent’s largest economic lifeline, with boat transportation along the river connecting the eastern and western nations.

If not through Emenas, east-west travel could only be done by sea or through the Golden Grasslands in the southern part of the Sigh Mountain Range, which was once an important production area for the Mercury Dynasty.

Loranhil planned to visit Emenas after finishing Pullman’s training. It should always be an economic hub, with abundant information in various aspects.

For now, though, she would watch how this passionate young man would face his enemy.
