The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 314 Deception

"A spell of confusion, huh? I'll learn it when I get back!" Vasita said. "I just hope that the little creatures who like me are plant-based, so they don't need to eat and won't go hungry!"

Ais was also tempted. She was different; she wanted to raise a magical pet that loved meat just like her, so she could share the delicious food she cooked with it!

However, she didn't know if she could learn it: "Molan, can someone with low talent in mind magic learn the Confusion spell?"

“Sure! The learning threshold isn’t high, but to advance to a higher level, you’ll need to have the talent,” Moran said.

Cheryl and Alba, who were also very interested in magical creatures, silently memorized the spell, planning to copy a spellbook about bewitching when they returned to the academy castle.

Most witches are solitary and live alone, and a suitable magical pet is an important part of increasing their happiness.

Moreover, magical pets have the potential to grow, can communicate with the witch, and fight together, often becoming more important than a partner.

Of course, there are also a lot of witches who develop their magical creatures into companions, since magical creatures can summon magic from any creature other than witches.

While witches with magical plants and magical beasts as their pets are the most numerous, Valen does not have the concept of plants and magical beasts transforming into humans.

Their growth and transformation are all about abilities, not about appearance.

The main reason is that some witches have entered into magical pet contracts with humanoid creatures, and these humanoid creatures tend to fit the witches' aesthetic preferences, so...

Vasita's father was once Vasita's mother's contracted summon.

However, it is a Death Servant contract from the Necromancer school of magic, which is somewhat different from a contract for summoning magic.

The contract between the Death Servant spell and undead creatures is made with the undead.

Similar in nature to magical pets, they are completely incapable of betraying their masters.

They are even more domineering, and they cannot grow with the witch, but the witch can use necromancy or other magic to cultivate undead creatures.

“There’s a tiger ahead, should we fight it?” Sylph suddenly asked.

"Hit him!" Vasita said. "I didn't eat enough this morning, so let me do it. Hit him and throw him to the Devouring Stomach!"

Upon hearing this, the group flew towards the mountain tiger.

Instead of attacking or running away, the tiger flew towards Moran and gave her a soft, meowing cry.

"Wait! My magical pet is here!" Moran immediately stopped Vasita, who was about to kill the tiger, and landed in front of the mountain tiger.

Even though the mountain tiger lacks intelligence and has limited potential for growth, Moran doesn't mind it!
She's not just a summoned witch; she doesn't need magical creatures to help her fight.

A big, furry tiger is just perfect!
Shanhu nuzzled her shoulder, and Mo Lan reached out to stroke him, but Shanhu walked away without hesitation.

It seems he just came to say hello.

"Wait!" Remembering that Shan Hu couldn't understand, she quickly used telepathy: "Wait!"

This time, Shanhu stopped and turned back to look at her with a puzzled expression.

"Would you like to sign a magical pet contract with me? I'll take you away from this mountain forest, give you good food and drink, and make you stronger and stronger," Moran asked.

Mountain Tiger: "Hungry... looking for meat... goodbye..."

The response from the mind-reading technique was worse than that of a hundred-year-old tree, only slightly better than that of an ordinary plant.

They lack spirituality and have very low intelligence, so their communication lacks any effective information.

When she encountered such a beast, she would usually use the Origin Tracing Technique to search for information.

Seeing that she stopped talking, the tiger continued walking. To it, today was just encountering a seemingly friendly two-legged creature in the forest; it would rather go hungry than eat her and her companions.

It rubbed against it to show its friendliness, and then it went on to find food to fill its stomach.

To her, this two-legged creature was no different from the tree it loved to rub against.

I just really like him.

If we don't see each other for a while, we might forget about it again.

"Are we still going to fight?" Vasida asked.

"Let's stop fighting and let it go!" Moran said. "Although it can't communicate very well, it has been influenced by my confusion spell and has become fond of us."

“Alright!” Vasita could bring herself to kill wild beasts that ran away from her or attacked her, but she felt a little strange about killing and eating wild beasts that took the initiative to show her kindness.

"It seems we can't use this illusion spell while hunting!" Vasita said. "Otherwise, we'd all become friends with the wild beasts, so what's the point of hunting?"

"It seems that this magic is quite effective for avoiding battle when facing an opponent you can't defeat!" Sylph became interested in the magic instead.

She doesn't have much need for hunting. Although she does eat meat, she prefers to eat vegetables most of the time. She eats a lot of plant-based foods. Influenced by her elf father, she usually loves to eat fruit.

Therefore, she didn't delve as deeply into the art of cooking as Moran and Vasita.

If she could become friends with all the animals around her, then she wouldn't have to worry about wild animals trampling and destroying the plants she grows!

“Indeed!” Moran said, “The effect of this magic depends on the user’s level of confusion magic and the opponent’s strength, intelligence, and mental power. It can be used even in the outer areas.”

Sometimes, when you can't defeat a monster, using the Mind Control spell to subdue it might have a surprising effect.

The group set off again, and after flying for a while, they encountered another large beast. Sylph asked Vasita if they wanted to fight it this time.

“Of course we’ll fight!” Vasita said. “But Moran! Cancel the confusion spell right now!”

She didn't want the beast to come and befriend Moran again as soon as she went up there.

If it were possible to actually become a magical pet, that would be fine, but the key issue is that its intelligence is too low. It can't even understand signing a contract, so it's naturally difficult for it to become a magical pet.

Moran: "..."

It seems she'll have to find a new magical pet in the outer regions next year.

This time, Vasida fought a fierce battle, replenishing her phagocytic stomach with some food energy.

The palm-sized Devouring Stomach held several deer taller than themselves; Vasita had used all her slaughtering magic to cut the deer meat into chunks and stuff them into the Devouring Stomach.

Sylph felt sorry for you: "You've really gone through a lot! I have plenty of food, I'll make sure you're well fed this time!"

“Really? You’ve fed me? My appetite has increased again!” Vasita said.

"Don't worry! There won't be any problem!" Sylph said confidently.

Moran became curious.

How much food did Sylph store? Can you say it's enough to feed Vasita?

Even if she took out all the food stored in her basement, it might not be enough for Vasita to truly eat her fill.

If it weren't for the fact that the Devouring Stomach's ability to withstand hunger has increased, allowing it to control itself from devouring Vasida's magic and affecting her mobility, Vasida might not have been able to survive.
