The Witch's Imaginary Land: Redemption Comes After Sticking Together

Page 69

She turned and walked toward her destination, chewing on the carrot in her mouth.

I must say, it was quite delicious.

Hmm, I should ask where I bought these carrots next time. It would be nice to have some as a snack... Jiang Kehan ​​thought casually.

She walked past many houses and then stopped in front of a somewhat old apartment building.

It's a mixed bag of people, a kind of hidden haven for alien races in the city.

Although witches provide great benefits to other races, some people just choose to take a less desirable path, such as becoming lackeys of other witches.

This approach, which is practically a refusal to become a witch, is highly despised by both witches and other races.

What's somewhat ridiculous is that they are far less free than normal people, and they don't have much more money either.

But Jiang Kehan ​​wasn't looking for these people; she was looking for a small agency run by a witch hidden inside.

Ignoring the aliens who were looking at her with awe in the corridor, she climbed to the 5th floor. There were even two strong aliens guarding the door on this floor, which was obviously very unusual.

The two men bowed to Jiang Kehan ​​and made way for her, showing that Jiang Kehan ​​was a regular customer here.

Jiang Kehan ​​tossed each of them a witch's gold coin as usual, but this time she didn't say much like she did to Little Horse Girl. Instead, she coldly walked past them, went to the innermost room, and knocked on the door.

She has no interest in watchdogs, especially watchdogs that have given up their dignity. If you want to earn the witch's respect, you have to respect yourself first.

The knocking made the person inside a little impatient. She said irritably, "Who is it? Don't you know I'm thinking?"

“It’s me, Bo Yuxue,” Jiang Kehan ​​said helplessly.

Suddenly, the door was flung open, and Bo Yuxue hugged Jiang Kehan ​​tightly, her tone becoming very greasy.

"Oh, it's our Kehan! Come in and have a seat. I've been really looking forward to your visit."

Jiang Kehan ​​pushed away the white-haired, blue-eyed witch with large-framed glasses with disdain and rolled her eyes.

"I think you just want the witch's gold I've earned, Detective."

Bo Yuxue, a "detective" with a small reputation in the city, helps people from other races find their true inner desires, making it easier for them to become witches. She belongs to a faction among witches that is relatively close to people from other races, which is why she gets along quite well with Jiang Kehan.

"You know perfectly well that my mom is always ordering others to keep an eye on me. Knowing that I like people of other races, she's been relentlessly trying to force me into this situation. Sigh, when will this old-fashioned witch mentality ever stop?"

Bo Yuxue, with a sullen face, led Jiang Kehan ​​inside.

"I think you're just being dramatic. You can easily send these disrespectful alien races away by assigning them a few tasks."

Jiang Kehan ​​closed the door; the matter they were about to discuss was not exactly legal.

“Then wouldn’t I be just like my mom?” Bo Yuxue shrugged, somewhat disdainfully. “I’m going to rebel. Sigh, never mind.”

She sat down behind her desk, rested her chin on her hands, and looked intently at Jiang Kehan.

"Let's get down to business, Kehan. I've accepted the request you made, and I'll just wait until you have time."

Bo Yuxue's main business is to accept commissions in the name of the team and then outsource them to other witches or alien races.

The commissions she handles are of varying levels, with those earning witch gold being the lowest. These commissions are generally outsourced to alien races, since the witch's organization has restrictions on what alien races can buy with witch gold.

The payment is materials or spells, which are then outsourced to witches. Although this is also illegal, it is something that is turned a blind eye to and will not attract attention.

She's already flirting with the law, and if she does something reckless, the Witch Organization really will throw her in jail.

Jiang Kehan ​​is considered a VIP client of hers and, to a large extent, a friend. Therefore, the commissions she handles for Jiang Kehan ​​are paid in witch points.

In other words, it's an official mission.

"However, Kehan, this mission is quite dangerous."

Bo Yuxue looked at Jiang Kehan ​​with some worry in her eyes, her tone somewhat serious.

Chapter 101 Witch's Blood

Jiang Kehan ​​frowned slightly, couldn't help but take a step back, and looked at her with a hint of doubt.

"What do you mean? Isn't what we need this time alchemists or laborers?"

Well, although it's a bit of a chore, that's exactly what the official missions need; overly dangerous missions are handled internally.

Don't underestimate the power of the authorities, you bastards. All that tax money wasn't paid for nothing.

“The situation is a bit unusual.” Bo Yuxue pushed up her glasses with her other hand, a flash of light passing over them, and suddenly some tense music started playing around her.

"The location of this commission is in a miniature shattered space, so a little witch is needed, but the commission needs to be comparable to the strength of a middle witch to be considered safe, so no one has accepted it yet."

The main issue is that for those incredibly powerful little witches, the returns are less than the investments made by other witches.

The surrounding music suddenly changed and became more exciting.

Bo Yuxue stood up, her long, snow-white hair reaching her waist. She put her left hand on her hip and pointed at Jiang Kehan ​​with her right.

"And you, Kehan, you are that little witch who is poor enough, yet strong enough!"

Words faintly appeared on Jiang Kehan's forehead. Without any mercy, she smashed the speakers around her that were controlled by magic, covered her face, and spoke fiercely.

"Bo Yuxue! If you keep this up, you might as well expect your head to be harder than a speaker."

Bo Yuxue couldn't help but shrink her head and chuckle. She was actually a genuine witch and naturally wasn't afraid of Jiang Kehan's threats.

"But to be honest, Kehan, you need to consider this request carefully. If it's not suitable, I can decline it."

With a concerned look in her eyes, she took out the authorization form from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Kehan.

The witch has safety requirements for accepting quests, usually ensuring that the maximum danger the quest taker will encounter will only result in minor injury.

After all, a witch's life is far more precious.

The reason why Bo Yuxue's business was illegal was that she could ignore these rules and delegate her business to others.

But this wasn't without conditions; she was able to repeatedly receive commissions from others, including officials, because of her credibility and keen eye.

The price to pay is that any commission she issues must be flawless; even a temporarily returned commission will damage her credibility.

But who can blame her when Kehan ​​is considered a half-friend?

Jiang Kehan ​​accepted the commission and began to study it carefully, her brows furrowing deeper with each reading.

She couldn't help but look up at Bo Yuxue and ask, "Are you sure this commission was really for the Little Witch?"

Bo Yuxue shrugged, sat back down, and resumed her usual aloof professionalism. She spoke to Jiang Kehan ​​with the confidence typical of a businesswoman.

"I'm pretty sure, and that's why I answered it for you, Kehan."

I have never misjudged anyone.

Jiang Kehan ​​lowered her head again. The request was short, but every word seemed to be dripping with blood.

*Request: Witch's Blood

The original child of the miniature damaged space gradually became a witch after being influenced by the witch. However, during the process of becoming a witch, he was rejected by the natives, which caused mental confusion and isolated him from the internal situation. He needs to help the other party successfully become a witch while ensuring his own safety.

Rewards: 120 Witch Points, a rare level 3 spell, and a chance to interact with the Great Witch.

Yes, the shattered space was originally a normal world, so it's reasonable for something like a chosen one to exist. And because of the existence of the Cosmic Witch, it's also reasonable that any creature in the Imaginary Land has the potential to become a witch.

But could you explain what it means to drive a witch in the process of transformation insane?!

Jiang Kehan ​​gasped. Although the other party had not yet fully become a witch, her mental state was causing the boundary between herself and her magic to blur, making her magic power and control much stronger than that of a normal little witch.

In order to infiltrate this miniature broken space, the witch who enters must be a little witch; otherwise, the consequence will be a meteorite falling from the sky, making her an enemy of the world.

Well, I'm not afraid of witches who force their way in, but it would be interesting if the damaged space treated the mission target as an enemy as well.

If the hostage dies during your standoff with the enemy, what are you here for? You're not here to rescue the hostage, are you?

What kind of Soviet-style lame joke is that?

The official plan is to deal with it when the Great Witch has some free time, since the witches in the transformation are quite resilient and won't die inside.

But if there's a chance to save her in advance, we must do so; she's destined to be a witch.

"So, you mean I have to go to a completely unknown place to find this mentally unstable target, while also making sure I don't get killed by him, right?"

Jiang Kehan ​​tried to keep her composure, but Bo Yuxue added insult to injury.

"We also need to prevent her from overusing her magic and causing her to die."

After finishing off the enemy, Bo Yuxue looked at Jiang Kehan, who was hesitant, with a strange look in her eyes.

"However, Kehan, I personally think that being able to meet the Great Witch is more valuable to you than anything else. She is the Great Witch, after all."

Moreover, the other party's attitude towards you won't be low, after all, you essentially helped her complete a task ahead of time, and what you gain can't be considered in terms of simple value.

Jiang Kehan ​​fell into thought. Such beings, passively transformed by the Cosmic Witch, were called "Witch's Blood".

Those who fall into madness usually do so because they are not good enough. These things can be ignored; they will disappear on their own and be regarded as edema.

However, if someone falls into madness due to an accident and is still undergoing transformation, it is called "tainted blood," and tainted blood is not just an abstract description.

Madness causes the annihilation of magic and physical existence, gradually making "tainted blood" lose its human form, resembling a mixture of blood and magic, which is extremely degenerate.

This is one of the reasons why witches are considered synonymous with evil.

They truly have the potential to destroy everything.

"Phew, I've decided to accept it. Let's split it 20/80." Jiang Kehan ​​handed the commission to Bo Yuxue. What she had was just a copy; Bo Yuxue would keep the real commission for herself.

"I knew I wouldn't misjudge people." Bo Yuxue clapped her hands, somewhat excited. She took off her glasses, and a strange light shone in her azure eyes.

Her eyes have a special effect.

A quill pen sculpted by magic floated in the air, while the real commission appeared as a projection in her eyes, bringing with it unstoppable laughter.

Jiang Kehan ​​was already used to it; the other party was actually a devilish witch skilled in contracts and transactions, cunning and treacherous, yet always trustworthy.

That's why she's able to run her own firm on her own.

Jiang Kehan ​​used her magic as ink to sign her name, and instantly, the laughter transformed into solemn words like the tolling of a bell.

The white flames in Bo Yuxue's eyes dissipated, and she and Jiang Kehan ​​couldn't help but speak.

"Once the contract is established, we share both honor and disgrace."

After signing the contract, Bo Yuxue licked her lips. This act itself could increase her magic power, especially with a witch with infinite potential. She felt a little overwhelmed.

"So, after completing the mission, Kehan ​​needs to give me 24 witch points and witch gold equal to 20% of the spell price. If you fail the mission, I will compensate you for half of your losses."

She stroked her belly, couldn't help but squint her eyes, and revealed a satisfied smile.

"I look forward to your success, but don't force yourself if you fail. Kehan, your safety is more important to me."
