New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 198 Witch's House
"Can I negotiate terms?" Lei Ye asked, looking up.

'Put your gun down first, and then we can talk.'

Although this gun is not that gun, the other party actually knows the word gun.

Lei Ye's doubts deepened. If it weren't for the impact of another culture, how could it be possible to design something like a giant robot?

"I have only one condition, let me in." Lei Ye said.

"That's impossible," the other party replied immediately, "We have been observing you since you entered the Great Forest. Your threat level is unprecedented SS. According to the regulations, I need a whole year to confirm that you are safe."

"What SS? Is this your unique measurement standard?"

"You can understand it this way. As far as I know, the only person in this world who has mastered super-level magic is the Demon King, and you are a devil. This coincidence makes us have to be cautious."

It seems that the witches have quite a wide range of information channels and are not completely ignorant of the outside world. They even know Lei Ye's hidden identity.

But I don’t know it completely.

And in the few seconds that Lei Ye was silent, the other party added a sentence.

'We are afraid of you.'

Well, Lei Ye can still recall the fear he felt when he first saw Buyadi release super-level magic in the underground maze. After putting himself in their shoes, he can understand these people.

Then let’s discuss it.

"What are you using to observe me? I feel like you are always staring at me, but I can't see your line of sight. What is this thing?"

"This is a magic item that only we can make."

It wasn't stated explicitly, but as soon as you heard it, you could tell it involved the use of space magic, Lei Ye thought.

"Then why did you arrange for Hephis to spy on me? What's the point of this?"

'We pitied her, so we gave her a job, but she was betrayed. But we still pitied her, so we let her contact you, but she was betrayed again. Letting her contact you is to understand you better. If you also pity her, then what you say about kindness to the weak is credible. '

"And then? And now? Is it credible?"

'Not entirely credible. Besides, I have already forwarded your modified blueprint to the family group.'

"This is plagiarism!" Lei Ye was stunned, then protested loudly.

'We only have one engineer here, and she says your new blueprints are crap.'

"What?" Lei Ye's daze turned into bewilderment. He was confident that if he showed his drawings to Grady, he would be exclaimed as a genius. However, here he only got a nonsense comment. He thought of something and asked, "Excuse me, about those drawings, were they designed by your engineers themselves?"

'No comment.'

Either the other party is a master far beyond his and Grady's level, or he is just a fake.

The answer to this can only be obtained by contacting the other party.

"I want to know what Lorraine did in there? Why was she able to go in so casually?"

'She is harmless and her job is to test drugs, which is very important to our current work, so she will be allowed to come and go freely.'

Alchemists will test their new creations, but if the potion is harmless, they will usually test it themselves. If it is harmful, they will test it in actual combat with low-level monsters. Why would they hire others to test it?

It's hard to say whether it's a lack of common sense or a lack of morality.

However, Lei Ye judged from this sentence the conditions for being able to freely enter and leave the witch tribe: useful and harmless, and the latter condition was much more important.

"You need a chef." Lei Ye said suddenly.

The other party was silent, and Lei Ye knew that he was right.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t feel such a strong sense of sight every time I cook.

"It's not necessary. We have many chefs. Cooking is the skill that witches are most proud of. At first, we didn't care about your food. After all, the world is so vast, there must be great chefs out there. But we really can't figure out how your food could make those elves eat so much that their clothes burst."

"Let me in so I can show you guys."

'it's out of the question.'

"Is there any magic tool, or some method," Lei Ye took a deep breath, "that can restrain my hands, or restrain my magic power to ensure that I am safe? I can accept entering in this way."

Lei Ye thought the person on the other side would discuss for a while, but he didn't expect him to answer so decisively right away.

"Yes, there is a kind of handcuffs. Once they are put on, they will stop the flow of magic power and prevent any magic from being released. The material of the handcuffs is Orichalcum steel. Even you cannot dismantle them violently."

"But in the witch tribe, this kind of thing is worn by criminals who have committed serious crimes. If you walk around the city with it, you will not be treated as a criminal, but you will not be treated as a guest either."

"If you accept even such conditions in order to enter the city, then I believe in your sincerity and am willing to go beyond my authority and let you enter the city directly."

Lei Ye hissed.

The handcuffs described by the other party reminded him of the time when he was controlled by the Black Demon Flow Armor. He could only be stepped on and played with by Gratty every day. It was really a life worse than death.

Everything else is fine, but what he fears most is the ability to control himself.

Now he only regretted not asking Greti for more information. In fact, Greti had already told her a lot, but she didn't mention this kind of handcuffs. That probably meant she had never encountered it before, and the witches didn't think she was dangerous.

But who else can we get information from?

Lei Ye suddenly had an idea and thought of a person who had been silent for a long time.

"I need some time to think. Can you give me some privacy, so I can't be eavesdropped on? I'll use gestures to tell you the answer later."

'Strange request. The privacy that the elves ask for is visual, but you ask not to be eavesdropped. I don't see anyone who can talk to you, but this request is simple, I accept it.'

Lei Ye scratched the hilt of the holy sword, and soon the holy sword floated out.

Unexpectedly, there was no annoyance on Shengjian's face this time.

"This trick doesn't work on you." Lei Ye was a little surprised.

"I'm used to it," Holy Sword said casually, "I know what you want to ask, but unfortunately, I don't know much about witches. However, I have heard of those magic-banning handcuffs, which will only restrain your magic power and will not have much impact on your actions."

"Do I understand that I can do it anytime?" "Yes, but there are still risks. I have two suggestions for you. First, since you can't use the magic eye, try to control it consciously and don't let any inconspicuous person have too high a favorable impression of you. Second, do everything you can to learn their space magic."

"What's your first suggestion?"

"Your kitchen man has been able to stay until now because the people before him were eager for love and didn't want to be lowered in favorability by you. But here, you are the only male, and you have to enter a tribe of sexually repressed nymphomaniacs in a weakened state. Do you understand what I mean? Most people here don't take love very seriously."

"Okay, I'll pay attention to that. What's your second suggestion? I came here for space magic. Why do you think this emphasis is meaningful?"

Holy Sword smiled softly.

She walked slowly in front of Lei Ye and bowed slightly to him.

"I am happy for you. You are about to gather all the conditions to save your lover."

Meeting Lei Ye's astonished gaze, Shengjian stood up straight and nodded seriously.

"I have always been worried about you, but now I understand how ridiculous these worries are. You are the one chosen by the goddess of pure love. She believes in you, and I should believe in you too."

Lei Ye wanted to say something, but the holy sword had already disappeared back into the sword with a smile.

An unexpected answer.

Something was pulled out of Lei Ye's body, almost making him fall, and something was poured into Lei Ye's body, making him stronger than ever before.

Just now, at the moment their eyes met, a special plan came into being in his mind. In all the save files, this plan was impossible to realize because it required two things, space magic and the help of the holy sword, and these might be realized in the next save file.

Time travel may be coming to an end.

He took a deep, deep breath and forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart.

He raised his hand and shook it.

"What should I do?" he then said loudly.

'Stand in front of the door and raise your hands.'

Lei Ye did as he was told and extended his hand without any hesitation.

He waited a few seconds.

Suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out from the membrane and quickly fastened something on Lei Ye's wrist. It was a pair of silver-white shackles with very long chains that would not affect people's movements.

Then, that hand grasped Lei Ye's wrist, and Lei Ye felt a slight burning sensation. It was the other party using magic power to carve magic patterns on Lei Ye's arm.

Then the other party pulled gently.

Lei Ye had a magical feeling. When he realized what was going to happen, he wanted to open his eyes wide to see clearly the process of himself passing through the door, but the door suddenly became a solid entity in his perception. He felt like he was going to hit something. Instinctively, he leaned back and closed his eyes, but he didn't actually hit anything. He stepped on a stone floor.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a place that looked like a security room.

It was exactly the same, still the security room in an old residential area. There was only a table, a chair and a small bed in the small room. On the table were a few things similar to monitors, and the picture inside was where he had just stood.

The one holding his arm was a girl who looked a little slovenly at first glance.

"What the hell." Lei Ye was shocked.

So big?
It may not be as tall or as heavy as Grady, but it has 1.5 Buyadis.

He had heard rumors about witches from a long time ago, and now he finally saw the real thing. The figure in the book that even Buyadi didn't have finally appeared in reality. Lei Ye was stunned when he looked at that thing.

It's not so much about building credibility as it is about awe for such a divine object, just like the boys in the toilet would unanimously give a thumbs up to someone's extraordinary talent.

Noticing Lei Ye's gaze, the girl shrank back with some emotion.

Lei Ye was surprised to find that the emotion was - inferiority complex.

self-abasement?!
"I'm Monitor No. 19. I was the one who was talking to you just now, but in the conversation just now I basically represented the witches' position. But now I represent myself," she stretched out her hand. "Nice to meet you, Lei Ye. My job these days is to observe you. You are an excellent and interesting person, even more interesting than the previous demon engineer. I really want to make friends with you. In addition, you are welcome, welcome to the Witch's House!"

"Hello, hello." Lei Ye shook hands back, thinking that you have a good impression of me because I have been holding it in for a month, otherwise you
"Watcher Nineteen, this sounds weird, don't you have a name?"

"No, witches can only get names if they have unique professions or special contributions. You can call me No. 19," she sighed and raised her chest with her hand. "You can see that I am only at this level at my age. It's great to get a job. How can I have a name?"

She patted her head and said, "I'm stupid. You don't understand what I'm telling you. Come with me. I'll take you to see the elders. I hope this will not make me lose my job."

Lei Ye was not sure what to do after entering, because he didn't know what the situation was inside. He just wanted to come in, but it would be better to listen to the other party's arrangements first.

When he walked out of the room, Lei Ye was surprised by everything outside.

Trees like the Elf Mother Tree are everywhere here.

It can be even higher and bigger, and there is no need to build a tree house on it, just hollow out the middle.

"Those are man-made," said Nineteen.

Upon hearing this, Lei Ye tried to activate his little magic of photosynthesis, but there was no response. Only then did he personally feel the fact that the magic had been sealed.

However, if you observe with the naked eye, you can see that those things are not real.

Looking further away, Lei Ye could not see the end. Lei Ye originally thought that this would be like a small village surrounded by several thin film walls, but this place seemed to be no different from the outside.

"How big is it here?"

"It depends on where you look from. From the inside, it's probably as big as a whole forest. From the outside, it's just that door." Number 19 looked at Lei Ye suspiciously. "You have a lot of questions. I'm not sure if I can answer all of them. Just ask the elders later. They have been discussing your case recently."

"Discuss me?"

"Yes, everyone agrees that you are a demon man with witch blood, but they are not sure. I will take you there and they will definitely find a way to verify it first. But don't worry, it's not a terrible thing."

".Probably some kind of verification method."

"It's very simple. Witches have only two important characteristics. One is their extraordinary control over space magic, and the other is their organs that continue to grow as their magic power grows. From these two points, we can verify what you are doing."

Lei Ye said nothing, just kept stuffing grilled oysters into his mouth.
