chapter.48 Prayers and Rejections(1/2)

After spending nearly an hour testing her abilities, plus another hour of education, Alice finally made her new familiar, Eve, master the qualities she should have.

The first is the two familiar skills engraved in the core of the crystal, "Camouflage Camouflage" and "Ghost Hand".

The effect of the former is just as the skill name describes, it can provide the familiar with a camouflage illusion that matches the environment, which is more conducive to camouflage and lurking.

Considering the color of Eve's plumage, she will stand out in most situations.

For a "thief", this is not a good thing.

However, this smart little guy quickly learned how to use the core skills and happily tried various color camouflage.

——As for the latter, it is based on the sleight of hand "Mage's Hand", with the addition of improved spells based on Alice's personal understanding.

This improved spell allows the caster to control an invisible "ghost hand". The spell performance is purely composed of spiritual power. It can move and lift objects weighing no more than 7 pounds. It can control the movements of fingers and complete some more complex tasks.

Fine actions, such as unlocking, writing, etc.

Basically, any action that humans can do with their hands can also be done with "ghost hands" after practice.

The significance of this spell is that it gives the familiar Eve an invisible hand similar to that of a human being, allowing her to complete some things that were originally too difficult for her.

In addition, the "Stealer" potion improved Eve's constitution and physical agility, allowing her to learn how to use daggers and daggers - although she claimed that she had no intention of using weapons - and could steal other people's pockets silently.

The items in the game, and her flexibility in using the "Ghost Hand" are also surprisingly good.

Of course, the results are not all good for Alice.

The problem, or shortcoming, of the familiar Eve is quite obvious and fatal.

Even though she has the same level of intelligence as an adult human, Eve's mind is still no different from that of a child, lacking common sense, curious, and eager to have fun...

The most important thing is that although she is smart and alert, if Alice does not give clear instructions and only gives a rough range of orders, it will be difficult for her to think about how to complete the task alone.

Exploring the "acting method" trick is a typical example.

In fact, strictly speaking, only a few days have passed since Eve gained intelligence, and she is just a little robin under one year old, barely reaching the standard of adulthood.

It is normal for her to become dependent on Alice, her master, and develop a nestling complex.

However, Alice has absolutely no interest in being a nanny.

After pondering for a while, she made a decision - to find someone who knew how to act to teach the familiar on her behalf.

As for the candidate...well, she has already thought about it. There is a laid-back person who is very suitable for this kind of hard work.

Fortunately, the follow-up recipe for "Stealer" has not been finalized yet, so the exploration of role-playing methods can slowly begin.

The Church database of the God of Steam only contains the Sequence 9 formula, and it is also hidden and suppressed in the most confidential Kuxue area, as if it does not want ordinary members to discover this formula.

According to Alice's observation, there is indeed no member of the Mechanical Heart team in Tingen City who chooses the "Stealer" route.

It seems that there is no clue as to the direction of the church.

But you can’t use the cheating wish technique like you did when you obtained the “Fire Mage” formula of Hunter Sequence 7 last time...

It was originally just a simple experiment.

In the world she once lived in, wishing was a manipulation and provocation of the rules of the world, a miracle that could be achieved without the help of any divine power - of course, no miracle comes without a price, but this is not what she wants now.

focus of discussion.

The point is, here, in the world she lives in now, the nature of this spell has actually changed.

When she made a tentative wish in the wish spell, the spell fed back a voice and told her the Sequence 7 potion formula of the Hunter Path in the form of information, pointing out the main areas where the materials were distributed.

The price of being charged away by the spell has also changed, becoming quite strange...

She was supposed to be in a spell-casting weakness for about five days, but that was not the case. Instead, it was the voice that seemed to be a spell feedback that demanded a price from her.

A request.

A very simple, almost strange request.

"Tell me who you are."

What's so difficult about this?

Alice gave out the pseudonym she used most in this world, and the effect of the wish ended.

After thinking about it, she thought that she might have accidentally connected with someone who was similar to a god... Well, what was surprising was that the other person had such a kind personality and was so willing to help others without asking for anything in return...

However, such an attempt is enough once. It is enough for her to understand the changes in the rules of the world and no longer think about the problem with the original way of thinking. Using the prayer spell a few more times will probably cause trouble at the level of a god. Just imagining it is too much.

It's a headache.

The road must be taken step by step. Let’s find another way to solve the problem of the magic potion for the Demon Eve.

With this thought in mind, Alice interrupted the spell effect of the magic house, erased the traces she left in the wilderness, and finally took out the materials needed for teleportation and faced the direction of the city.

…………

In the early morning, Jinwutong District.

A muffled thunder startled many sleeping people in this neighborhood. Some people put on their pajamas and walked to the bed to look outside. They found that it was not raining on the street and the thunder did not hit their yards, so they complained again.

Go back to bed and resume the sweet dream from before.

Like many neighbors near her home, Danitaly was awakened by the thunder, but her first reaction was to pull out the revolver under her pillow, instinctively disengage the safety, then leap up and get close to the wall, holding her breath.

, even the sound of breathing gradually became inaudible.

As a "hunter", her intuition told her that something was approaching her on the other side of the wall.

About ten seconds later, there was a slight noise from the window.

Danitaly shifted her gaze silently, and saw the window bolt being pulled up on its own without any external force. Along with a cold wind that seemed to be extremely cold, the window next to her slowly moved toward her.

Open outside.

Is he a thief, or a robber who breaks into a house?

No matter what, whoever touches her head is in bad luck.

While Danitaly was thinking, she did not relax her vigilance and pointed the gun at the window sill with one hand to ensure that as long as someone appeared there, she would be able to pull the trigger and send out the bullet as soon as possible.

At the same time, her seemingly empty right hand was also carried behind her back, and something seemed to be brewing in the palm of her fist.

At this moment, she saw a shadow that almost blended into the night quickly rushing into her room.

Danitaly was visibly stunned.

Her dynamic vision was very good, and there was a streetlight in the garden by the window to provide light, so she could clearly see that it was a small bird the size of a sparrow, with its body covered with gray-black feathers, which was very inconspicuous.

Before she realized what was going on, and she didn't shift her gaze to observe the seemingly ordinary bird, the person who appeared in her field of vision in the next second made her almost forget to breathe.

Alice calmly jumped off the window sill and casually turned away the revolver with a slightly drooped muzzle.

"What's wrong, are you so surprised to see me?"

As if being awakened by her action of swatting away the revolver, Danitaly almost immediately shed her vigilant and serious expression, put down the revolver with a light and plaintive smile, and faced him.

"Of course it's a surprise. Have you calculated how long it has been since we didn't see each other? Five days, five whole days! I even wondered if I was disliked by you. When I think of this possibility, I feel like my heart is like There is a knife cutting..."

"Stop." Alice glanced at her and interrupted these unfaithful greetings impatiently. "No need to talk nonsense. I came to you because I want you to do something for me."

After speaking, she waved to her familiar, who was quietly crouching on the bookshelf beside her. She asked the little robin to stand firm on the back of her hand, and then raised her eyes to look at Danitaly, who was wearing silk pajamas and with her hair disheveled.

"Let me introduce, this is Eve, my newly tamed pet. She is also a Sequence 9 Beyonder... Well, in this case, should I say it is an Extraordinary animal?"

Alice paused briefly, touched the bird's head covered with soft feathers with her fingers, and at the same time ordered:

"Eve, you can talk to this person now and tell her what I want her to do."

Under Danitaly's surprised and strange gaze, the little bird with gray and black feathers flapped its wings exaggeratedly twice, then opened its beak, vibrating the air and let out a clear and clear singing voice like a child.

"Alice, Alice, the beautiful and smart Alice asked me to find Danitaly, the servant Danitaly! She said she would teach me all kinds of common sense in life, and how to play a good 'thief'!"

"This is what you said you wanted me to do? Train an extraordinary animal and teach it how to act..." Danitaly tried to reach out and touch this wonderful little bird, only to feel the soft and warm touch, "You Aren't you worried that after it has been with me for a long time, it will not recognize you as its master?"

"This is not something you should consider."

With the connection of the familiar contract, Alice is not worried about the situation she mentioned at all.

Danitaly was a person who loved novelty, so she nodded and agreed after just a moment's thought.

"Since you said so, how could I refuse?"

Sure enough, her focus was not on teaching the "acting method" at all... Sir De Vere's only daughter obviously knew about the existence of the "acting method" and was even very likely to be connected to a secret organization. .

Alice had vaguely guessed the other party's reaction before, but now she just had a feeling that it was indeed the case.

She couldn't muster the interest to find out the details, so she nodded gently, warned Eve not to instill any strange thoughts or knowledge into Eve, and finally said:

"These are the things I have to explain. If nothing happens, I will leave."

"Wait a moment!"

After finally meeting the person she cares about, how could Danitaly let her go so easily.

Taking advantage of her height, she pressed her hands against the wall, enclosing the cold and distant beautiful witch in front of her in a cage that she could overlook. Her half-length dark golden hair fell downwards, softening the face that always seemed masculine.

The angle shows the beautiful face.

"Alice, don't you have anything to say to me? Huh? You only left a message at the cafe saying that you planned to resign, and you never went there again... Did you enjoy the Saturday dinner? I
To be continued...
