witcher of light

Chapter 4 The Shining Servant
That night, Wang Li had a very pleasant dream... In the past, this should have been a nightmare.

Huge eyeballs filled the whole world, and black tentacles stretched out from the eyeballs, as if they were going to drag him into the abyss...

But at this moment, a brave female warrior appeared. Although she looked like a plump 'stick figure', her long black hair was extraordinarily elegant, and she fought fiercely with the terrifying 'beholder' Arise, protecting her master's dream...

Anyway, Wang Li slept really well this time.

Rarely without a headache, he woke up refreshed.

Then, with a 'haha' smile, he saw that on his bedside table, the eyeball full of black silk threads was entangled with his little spirit servant... Both little creatures were already panting, and it seemed that they had fought all night.

Wang Li stretched out his hand to flick the eyeball away, and then lifted the panting and listless little guy... Last night, she had just become his spirit attendant.

"Are you tired?"

As he spoke, he stretched out a finger and tapped it gently on her little head...

The next moment, her whole body slowly lit up with a faint white light.

She is absorbing Wang Li's spiritual power.

It was precisely because of the shimmering light she emitted when absorbing spiritual power that Wang Li simply named her 'Firefly'.

"Hiccup~"

The little Yingying burped, and immediately climbed onto Wang Li's shoulder full of vitality.

What she felt from the spiritual power just now was complete love, so she also naturally got close to her Master.

Wang Li looked at his own room, tidied up the mess, and rewound the roll of parchment and put it away... Maybe it's his turn to pass it on to his apprentices next time.

As for the content on the parchment, although he read it carefully, he didn't take it too seriously.

Apart from a simple ceremony using the hexagram above, there is only one sentence at most: Don't feed your spirit servant, or one day it will eat you!

For this reminder, Wang Li just smiled and didn't take it too seriously...

The feeding of a spirit servant must be matched with a certain proportion of blood and mental power.

Among them, blood is the basic need of a spirit servant, and spiritual power is the key to achieving improvement.

In terms of blood, ordinary spirit servants only need one drop to fully meet their needs for a day... But the parchment suggests that the proportion of blood supply can be increased to reduce the loss of mental power.

Because in the explanation of the parchment, the spirit servant's endless demand for spiritual power from the master is an important factor that caused the spirit servant to finally backlash.

Wang Li did not operate according to the above, after all, his mental power was born different.

It's just that this part of mental power is very scattered, and it's all in a mess, making him not very focused.

This was considered an imbecility when he was young, and his mother, Jiang Yan, was also kicked out of the big house early.

Jiang Lu is a strong woman, she has worked hard to bring up Wang Li... and as Wang Li grows older, she gradually becomes 'normal', which is also the motivation for her to persevere.

Of course, in fact, Wang Li is just learning to be normal...

His abnormal mental power was indeed scattered, but it became strong enough with time that it even began to affect his physical health.

He could only try to keep his emotions as stable as possible, otherwise the fluctuating emotions would stimulate his mental energy and cause terrible headaches.

Even Jiang Yan didn't know that he had suffered from headaches for 12 years.

He has been enduring this kind of pain since he was seven years old, and he just didn't want his mother, who was already working hard, to worry about him anymore.

Before that, he even felt that he would not live to be 20 years old...

Now, there is a turning point.

The button of the hexagram suddenly lit up with pure white light... the hexagram, and the startled Yingying were his life-saving straws.

He glanced at the time, it was 05:30 in the morning.

Perhaps it was the excitement brought about by entering the world of the witcher for the first time, or the relief brought about by the release of mental stress, anyway, he had no intention of going back to sleep again.

After tidying up, he walked out of his small room...

As a result, he saw his mother, Jiang Li, lying on the table, falling asleep with the dim lamp.

He walked over quietly...

She seems to be writing something.

Judging from the pressed note, it seems to be a plan for a trip...

[Where is she going to play? 】

Wang Li thought about it.

"Ah Li, why did you wake up so early?"

Jiang Yan woke up, the sky was getting brighter, she should have woken up.

She seemed a little frightened, and immediately put the note away...

Wang Li was a little concerned, but in the end he didn't ask much... In fact, he knew that it should be made for the head of the family named 'Ye'.

He was a little worried that his mother was not just doing housekeeping there...

Forget it, don't think about it so much, she is his mother after all, and this will not change.

"Because I have a job, I can't sleep."

He told white lies, and he knew what Jiang Yan liked to hear.

Jiang Yan really showed a happy expression, and said while going to wash up: "When my mother was working for the first time, she was so nervous that she almost lost sleep."

"Work hard, but don't put too much pressure on yourself."

She cheers her son up while brushing her teeth.

Wang Li nodded seriously, only to find that Yingying on his shoulder was also nodding.

He smiled.

It's a pity that Jiang Yan couldn't see Yingying, otherwise she would be very happy, right?
Then came the rare time for mother and son to spend time together.

Wang Li was surprised to find that he was able to have such a long communication time with Jiang Yan after waking up early, and he was very happy in his heart.

In the past, he couldn't get up so early. Often when he woke up, Jiang Yan had already packed the house, made breakfast and went out.

Involuntarily, he asked about 'work-related'.

"Mom, can you tell me about your experience in cleaning up the mildew that has accumulated over the years?"

He asked for some reason... probably because he remembered the dilapidated appearance of the 'Old Horse Grocery Store'.

To be honest, he really can't stand the old horse's place.

Jiang Yan asked curiously: "Is there only mold and dust? Is there any dirt such as oil stains or grease?"

This is her professional field, her eyes seem to be shining faintly...

Wang Li was a little shocked. He remembered the food scraps and signs of various 'small animals' activities that he saw everywhere at the old horse.

"Well, there may be some cockroaches, mice and so on..."

Jiang Yan was amazed when he heard this: "Then you really took on a tricky job."

She no longer doubts the nature of Wang Li's job...Sometimes thinking about it, it seems interesting to 'inherit the mother's career'.

At this time, her son asked for advice, and of course she did not hesitate to share her experience.

Wang Li didn't expect that there are so many ways in housekeeping work, and he listened very carefully... He was very serious about acquiring any knowledge.

And where Jiang Yan couldn't see, on Wang Li's shoulder, Little Yingying also nodded solemnly... For her, this was her 'first lesson'!
The mother and son chatted for almost two hours. Jiang Yan looked at the time before he got up quickly and said, "It's almost late...Mom is going to work, you are at home..."

Wang Li also stood up and said, "I'm going to work too."

Jiang Yan was slightly taken aback, and then showed a proud smile and said, "Yes, Ah Li is going to work too... Mom is so happy."

It was pure joy to see my son grow up.

So the mother and son hugged each other at the door, and walked out of the narrow apartment with only one room.

Wang Li looked at the back of his mother going away...

Suddenly she also looked back, then turned her head and waved happily to him, as if to convey the good mood of the day.

Wang Li also smiled a little, then waved his hand.

Afterwards, he walked towards the old horse grocery store with rather brisk steps.

Now that he told his mother that he was going to work, he always felt that he should do something... Besides, as a freshly-baked apprentice witcher, he couldn't bear to be lonely.

……

"Bang bang bang!"

He knocked on the door of the 'Old Horse General Store', but there was no response for a long time.

Thinking of the back of the old horse who disappeared in the feasting and feasting last night, he wondered if his teacher had come back yet?

He knocked again, and was about to give up.

As a result, the old horse's voice came from the side: "Who is it, this early in the morning, are you noisy!"

"what?"

The sound did not come from the house.

He looked in the small alley next to the store where the trash cans were placed... Good guy, the old horse is sleeping here!
Looking at the old horse covered in vomit, mixed with the smell of the trash can... the smell is not to mention how bad it is.

Wang Li felt that his sense of smell had been greatly challenged, but thinking that this was his teacher, he frowned and helped him up.

"Let me see if there is anything I can do for you."

He said with his head down.

At this time, he found that it was great to talk with his head down. He didn't have to endure the other party's rushing tone, but he could also let go of the disgust in his eyes.

After groping for a while, and finally found the key to open the door, Wang Li helped the old horse into the room... The old man was already too drunk to know anything.

This is really a bad guy.

Wang Li felt that he was a newcomer now, so he should have more respect for his teacher.

So he took the old horse into his bedroom with difficulty, and changed his clothes by the way.

Yingying saw that the master was so tired and wanted to help.

But she really couldn't do much with her small arms and legs, and she felt a little inferior at that time.

On the other hand, Wang Li sighed, "Mystical demon hunter, it would be great if I had some skills that could clean him up in one go."

He was just thinking wildly, after all, the skills of a demon hunter were developed to defeat evil spirits.

But what he didn't expect was that following his words, Ying's body suddenly lit up!

Wang Li was stunned, this is...

He wasn't sure.

But, could it be that Firefly is about to evolve?
This is too fast, he hasn't made any preparations yet!
