The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph had also been unable to resist the allure of the fragrance.

As soon as Moran called out to start eating, they all sprang into action.

Seeing this, Celia joined in as well.

Lilith and Vasita marveled at the delicious and appetizing fish fin stew with pickled cabbage, the spicy and numbing fish head with chopped chili peppers, the sweet and sour squirrel mandarin fish, the smooth and refreshing blue horned fish sashimi, and the salty, fragrant, and crispy fried black bream.

Celia ate while praising the preparation methods:

"I've kept fish for so long, but I never knew they could be cooked like this! This cooking method is wonderful!"

"If you like, you can copy a set of the 'Blue Star Recipe Book'. All these dishes are in the recipe book."

Moran said, "Or you can just buy them directly from the card magic."

"Card magic?" Celia asked, somewhat puzzled. "Is this some kind of new, otherworldly magic?"

“It’s not otherworldly magic, it’s witch magic,” Moran said.

"Witch magic! Wait, witch magic?" Celia exclaimed in surprise, feeding the dried Inkfish into Uri's nostrils.

Uri hissed angrily, but Celia paid no heed: "Another witch has appeared?"

She knew about the witch magic of Tracy, Carmela, and Anita; there was no such thing as card magic.

"When did it appear? What is the manifestation of your talent? How old are you now?"

"I haven't left the house in so long, and I had no idea such a big thing happened!"

"It seems I need to go to the clan meeting as soon as possible!"

……

Even now, she hasn't suspected Moran and the other three.

It's true that once a witch reaches adulthood, unless she enters a period of magical decline and her appearance begins to age, it's very difficult to tell her actual age.

Seeing how excited Celia was about the news of the new witch, Moran, Lilith, Vasida, and Sylph all quietly straightened their backs and sat up a little more upright.

After muttering to herself for a while, Celia suddenly noticed that the four of them were not talking, and even their eating had become slow. She asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong with you guys?"

"Ahem, let me reintroduce myself... I am the witch Lilith, skilled in blood magic, and my innate ability is the Bloodthirsty Needle."

Lilith set an example, and Vasita and Sylph immediately followed suit.

"I am the witch Vasita, skilled in devouring magic, and my talent manifests as a stomach that devours."

"I am the witch Sylph, skilled in heterodox magic, and my innate ability is the Box of Myriad Things."

With each person finishes speaking, Celia's breathing quickens.

It wasn't until Moran said, "I am the witch Moran, skilled in card magic, and my innate talent is the Book of Cards," that Celia was so shocked that she temporarily forgot about the delicious food.
"Four...four witches?"

Moran nodded: "The three of us just came of age this year, and Lilith came of age last year. We're preparing to travel out into the wilderness together."

"Just turned 18 and already at the peak level?" Celia asked.

This was even more shocking than having four witches appear before her at the same time. How old was she when she reached the peak level? At least a hundred years old!

"Selling witch magic will increase your magic power quickly," Moran said. "Our magic each has its own unique features. How about we learn more?"

A certain nerve in Lilith suddenly activated, and she took out the Book of Witches, flipped through it quickly, and handed it to Celia:
"I have the latest versions of Blood Magic, Card Magic, Devouring Magic, and Alien Magic here."

As Vasita and Sylph watched Moran and Lilith enthusiastically recommend witch magic to Celia, even including their own witch magic, they finally sensed a business opportunity and began introducing their own magic.

Celia's eyes lit up as she listened, and she screamed inwardly: Oh my god! The way the little witches were trying so hard to sell their magic was just too cute!
"This, this, this, and this..." Celia cast several spells in quick succession: "I'll buy them all!"

After saying that, he took out a parchment and began to write the contract using his golden pen technique.

Moran, who had initially thought that even a small amount of money was still money, and that he should earn even the magic of a witch, suddenly felt a pang of conscience:
"Are you sure? Buying all of these would require a lot of permanent magic power!"

Although her card spell only costs 3 Mana and she only has one spell, Lilith, Sylph, and Vashida either have several spells or have ranked their spells.

Celia used almost all of their magic in one go, which added up to several hundred magic points.

Even for a top-tier witch, several hundred magic points is not a small amount.

"Definitely! I'm still young. I can earn more permanent magic even if I run out. I can buy magic early and enjoy it sooner. Witch magic is much more convenient than some otherworldly magic!"

As Celia spoke, she signed the contract: "All done!"

Celia's decisiveness put Moran and the others to shame.

Judging from the way she spends her magic so lavishly, she must be a highly accomplished witch in the Sky Well.

There haven't been many witches like Celia who buy all the items in the series in recent years; most are like Carmela or Lady Amisha.

Moran asked her curiously, "Ms. Celia, is the Well of Heaven a channel to obtain permanent magic?"

Otherwise, relying solely on natural growth and the non-renewable, permanent magic, it would be impossible to spend so lavishly.

Celia smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out when you get to the Well of Heaven."

The expectant expressions on Moran and the others froze.

"It's not that I'm deliberately keeping you in suspense; it's just that the rules restrict what happens inside the Well of Heaven from the outside world!"

Celia said:

"That's a place where danger and opportunity coexist... Don't be fooled by my living in the lake and not having left for over a hundred years. In reality, I've spent at least sixty or eighty years of those years traveling in other worlds and have gained quite a bit. Buying the magic power of witch magic was well worth it for me!"
After all, only witch magic exists. Once you form a contract, you can use it stably immediately without learning it, making it extremely cost-effective!
Your appearance is a great blessing for us witches who are exploring the Well of Heaven!
In other words, everyone is staying home and avoiding going out, otherwise they would all be like me!

These words actually answered Moran's question indirectly.

The witch who went to the Well of Heaven was indeed less strapped for permanent magic.

"Huh? {Food Card - Canned Herring}?"

Celia was the first to use card magic, drawing a card using the one free draw that each new contractor had:

"It costs 3 gem coins in the store? Looks like I'm pretty lucky! But what kind of food is canned food?"

"Canned herring? I don't think I've ever had that before!" Lilith looked over curiously as well. (End of Chapter)
