Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 213 This Time Even If I Die It's Worth It
It’s really exciting. Even if I die, it’s worth it!

Such sounds filled the air.

But the elemental elves will not die, and Queen Margaret and others cannot see the existence of the wind element. They can only see that the confined Princess Sofia refuses to repent, attacks her sister with a breadstick, speaks wildly, and throws half of the bread on Queen Margaret's crown.

If it is taken too far, Ivy is now a member of the new cabinet. If bad media see this, they will report the news "Shocking! The royal family and the new cabinet are at odds".

The guards of the royal city were stunned by this scene.

They originally wanted to follow Ethan to learn the skills of finding monsters, but they didn't expect to witness a scene that they could never have imagined in their dreams.

Ethan also discovered that the imperial princess seemed to be no different from an ordinary girl. Even if her ears were twisted fiercely, she would raise her face and cry, and the golden hair on her head, which was exactly the same as Ivy's, would tremble.

The bread sticks used as the crime tool were naturally also confiscated.

Ivy wanted to laugh at first, but she couldn't laugh when she saw Sophia's miserable appearance. She knew very well that her aunt twisted Sophia's ears just for the sake of Ethan's presence. After Ethan left, who knew what kind of punishment Sophia would receive.

Just thinking about it made Ivy shudder.

"Mr. Lao Sen, I am sorry to have embarrassed you."

Margaret looked pale and forced a smile, fiddling with her crown and her blonde hair that had been messed up by the bread hidden weapon. The sound of Sofia crying was heard in the background.

Ethan held his forehead.

He always felt that the promotion route of the Wind Element was a little peculiar. Now that she had reached Lv4 proficiency, and as her favorability increased, the Wind Element gradually showed her true self to Ethan. Now it seemed that it was not a problem with the motorcycle, but that under her literary girlish appearance, she hid a rebellious, thrill-seeking, bloodthirsty spectator-like heart.

Ethan admitted that it was a wrong decision on her part. The wind element had nothing to do with gentleness. She even had a bit of a wilful vibe. Her excited laughter and Sophia's crying echoed each other.

He also noticed that Queen Margaret gave Sophia a vicious look after she said this.

Ethan was familiar with this look.

Usually at parent-teacher conferences, when parents learn that their children have failed several courses and someone pretends to be a parent to sign, they will reveal such murderous looks.

The only good news was that this sudden change allowed Ethan to detect the presence of monsters.

In addition to them and the palace guards, there was another "person" at the scene who was almost unable to hold back his laughter.

"Don't blame her. Maybe Princess Sofia was just bewitched by the monster."

"Monster?"

Queen Margaret was startled and her expression became serious.

Over the years, there has never been an incident of a monster breaking into the palace, and it was even able to evade the searches of many guards, which was enough to prove that it was an extremely dangerous existence - you know, this group of guards were all trained by the Knight Commander himself!
Ethan said in a kind tone, "Sophia, what did the monster tell you?"

"Woo, woo, woo, it, it said, it didn't say at all that mommy would come too! Woo!"

If Sophia knew that her mother was following Ivy, she would not have dared to jump down from the tree like a savage. The tree was covered with dense leaves, and she could not see the situation in the garden clearly while lying on it. She could only hear the footsteps passing by. She took action as soon as she saw the tuft of golden hair on Ivy's head.

"Queen, as you can see, there are many demons in this world that can bewitch people. Sometimes, the more straightforward a demon is, the harder it is for people to detect it."

As he spoke, Ethan came to the suspicious tree.

This incident is also recorded in the CS:GO hide-and-seek mode. Ethan once transformed himself into a big tree on the side of the road to avoid everyone's search.

He took advantage of people's mentality of "how could there be a colored pencil hidden in a place like this?" Although the palace guards had received professional training, they were still complete novices in the field of hide-and-seek.

Generally speaking, trees will not try to hold back their laughter, nor will they turn red and tremble because of trying to hold back their laughter. Of course, in the eyes of others, the shaking of branches and leaves is the result of the breeze.

However, the bloodthirsty audience wind elemental was the first to expose the tree.

Apparently, Princess Sofia’s dropping of the little pearl could not satisfy her evil taste, and she seemed to want to see the tree burn.

Burn it, burn it!
The wind element kept circling around the big tree.

The literary girl is becoming more and more free.

"You mean the monster is here?"

The queen winked at the guards, and the executioners immediately rushed forward, surrounding the place in three layers. Every guard was in a heavy mood. To be honest, they still had not found any trace of the monster, and the garden of the palace was their main patrol location. Each of them passed by this place back and forth several times.

There was nothing different now than when they had searched.

Oh, the only thing left is Princess Sofia crying under the shade of the tree.

"You haven't shown up yet?"

Ethan patted the tree stump. Since Princess Sophia mentioned that the monster had tipped her off, it meant that this strange tree had the ability to communicate with humans. He suggested that the monster should confess his crimes before being made into skewers by the guards.

The tree stopped shaking, and the garden became eerily quiet. The guards stared at the tree in shock and began to think about a serious question.

Was there this tree here before?
This is destined to be an unsolved mystery. Who would have nothing better to do than remember how many trees there are in the palace garden?

Since the civil strife, the servants in the palace have been replaced. The candidates previously inserted by Pope Julius were all fired. This group of servants and gardeners were personally selected by Queen Margaret and several princesses and princes.

"Are there any torches?"

Seeing that Shu chose the path of resistance and strictness, Ethan asked the guards, and within two minutes, a guard brought a lighted torch.

"Slow down, slow down! I mean no harm! I'm not a bad person!"

The tree danced with excitement, and the thick stump cracked open in front of everyone, and a figure Ethan had not expected walked out.

"Lao Mu? Why is it you?"

This is the only tree man Ethan knows. As his knowledge grows, he understands that Lao Mu should also belong to the sub-human group. It’s just that he doesn’t stay in the shop in Hearth Bay. What is he doing in the imperial capital?
He was even bold enough to sneak into the palace.

Did you see Margaret's fierce eyes? Regardless of whether she had bad intentions or was a bad person, she was already planning to turn Lao Mu into a torch.

The queen looked at Ethan and tried to calm herself down. "He is your friend?"

This is the only reason why Ents have not yet been made into torches.

Lao Mu quickly pleaded for himself, "Yes, Queen! Ethan is my brother, we have fought side by side and defeated many opponents!"

This was not a lie. He later heard about the contaminated area incident in Riverside Town. Legend has it that Ethan broke into the contaminated area alone and dealt a head-on blow to the evil god Bazatos as if he was in an empty space. In this way, the books about the contaminated area that he had provided to Ethan before should have played a certain role in helping him.

After some artistic processing, it turned out that he assisted Ethan in defeating an ancient evil god!

What a romantic heroic epic! The bard in the tavern would surely love such a theme.

Ethan nodded and acknowledged Lao Mu's defense. "He did help me, but your behavior this time was very bad. You should personally explain to the queen your purpose of sneaking into the palace."

"Queen, look at this."

Before Lao Mu could make any move, the quick-witted guards held his neck with swords. The guards took the parchment book from him and handed it to Queen Margaret. The queen turned a page with a gloomy face, but was stunned for a moment. Her frown softened a little and she asked, "Did you write this?"

Heisenberg and the Magic Book.

It is said that this is the best-selling novel in Hearth Bay in recent months. Even the magicians of the Astrology Guild love to read it. They brought the novel to many major cities in the empire, where it attracted the attention of the Hippogryph Daily. The newspaper, which was in a period of transition, had an idea and printed and published the novel.

The promotion was a great success, and the book was now so popular that the servants in the palace were discussing the plot. The queen also overheard the servants' discussion and out of curiosity asked them to buy a copy for her.

A novel written from the perspective of a mysterious elemental shaper. Many people think that the protagonist of this book is based on Lao Sen, because the first novel mentioned the Winter Witch from his student days.

It's no secret that the Winter Witch has always been with Ethan.

One group of mystics believes that Winter is Ethan's wife, and that love changed this witch who once killed people without blinking an eye; another group believes that Winter is Ethan's familiar or servant. The evidence is that she often lies on Ethan's shoulder in the form of a cat, which perfectly fits the characteristics of a familiar.

However, Heisenberg and the Magic Book presents another novel idea.

No one knows about Old Mori's past, and Winter Witch's school days have never been made public. When the argument that "Winter is actually Ethan's student" appeared in the novel, it immediately gained the support of many people.

Maybe the witch and Ethan have known each other for a long time.

It was because of the Corruption War two years ago that this great elemental shaper who had been living deep in the academy returned to the empire.

But Margaret didn't care about these background stories. What really attracted her to the book was the slightly immature interaction between Ethan and Winter, which made her recall the time when she was a girl.

Simply put, she is here to support the couple.

This time it was Ethan's turn to feel anxious.

He remembered the book. When he went to Hearth Bay before, Lao Mu was writing this novel. He also remembered that the novel mentioned an incredible setting.

Is Lin Dong his student?
If Lin Dong knew about Tian Gang's affairs, things would probably not end well.

He stole a glance at the cat on his shoulder. The cat had its eyes closed and looked like it was sleeping soundly. However, just when Ethan was secretly relieved, the cat suddenly narrowed its left eye. It was clearly a murmur, but everyone present could hear it clearly, "Meow~ Teacher~"

Rowena repeatedly emphasized that speaking in a pinched voice seems to be a talent of Ragdoll Cats.

This sentence was so powerful that everyone present blushed instantly. Even Queen Margaret became excited, but due to aristocratic etiquette, she suppressed her excitement. Judging from the reactions of the guards, they were also loyal readers of this book. The sturdy man who had the sword on Lao Mu's neck changed his posture abruptly, placed the blade in front of him, and showed an awkward but polite smile.

"Mr. JK Forest, I have always been a reader of this book. Don't get me wrong. The reason I drew the sword is that I want you to sign it for me. This sword has been with me since I was an apprentice knight!"

As he spoke, he took out a pen like a magician.

Princess Sofia also stopped crying and stared at Lao Mu with red eyes.

She was recently grounded for a month, and when she had nothing to do at night, she stayed in the house and read novels. She had read this novel over and over again, but she had not waited for the sequel. "Heisenberg and the Magic Book" ended with the end of the first semester of the Winter Witch, and the forbidden love between the student and the teacher kicked off, and then there was no follow-up. It seemed like a broken chapter.

In the past few days, Sophia asked her servants to send letters to the Hippogryph Newspaper in the name of a loyal reader, hoping that Mr. JK Forest would publish the sequel as soon as possible and consider adding some knight elements in future chapters. If necessary, she can personally take the author to visit the Temple of Netheril.

Old Mu smiled awkwardly. Although the atmosphere was now developing in a good direction, this was after all trespassing into the palace. If he was not careful, he would end up here.

One sentence from Queen Margaret could decide his fate. He said flatteringly, "Queen, I am really just here to collect materials. I encountered some difficulties when writing the sequel..."

"What's the difficulty?"

"According to my original plan, the second sequel was 'Heisenberg and the Chamber of Secrets', but I have never been to the academy and I can't find a way to get there. I also happened to hear that the palace is very complicated and has many secret passages, so I thought I could use this as material..."

"can."

"what?"

"I said, you can stay in the palace to continue collecting materials, and you can also let the guards take you to visit some secret passages and secret rooms."

Queen Margaret announced the verdict on Lao Mu in a majestic voice, "But the crime you committed violated the majesty of the royal family, so you can escape the death penalty. Before you finish Heisenberg and the Chamber of Secrets, you will be locked up in a small dark room. The royal family will provide you with three meals a day, and you will only be allowed to leave the small dark room temporarily when you need to collect materials."

What an ancient method to urge updates!
Ethan was dumbfounded, but then he thought, this is the easiest ending for Old Mu.

Being locked in a small dark room and forced to type was nothing compared to being made into a torch and hung on the city wall.

After reading the verdict, Margaret invited Ethan again, "Mr. Ethan, thank you for coming to the palace during your busy schedule. I would like to invite you to stay here tonight and attend the dinner. I would also like to introduce the other children to you. I hope they can take you as a role model."

This is indeed an unexpected gain.

The monster crisis in the palace was resolved, and the author of "Heisenberg and the Book of Magic" was captured. Mr. JK Forester had no news after leaving a message to the Hippogryph Daily that he was going out to collect materials. Now even the people in the newspaper don't know his whereabouts.

It has been two months since the first novel was printed and published, and even the donkeys in the production team couldn’t rest so long!
After saying that, she glanced at Sofia, causing Her Royal Highness the Princess to shudder.

Sophia looked at Ethan for help. She hoped that Ethan would stay for the dinner. Otherwise, if her mother had to make time to come, her butt would be in trouble.

The palace prepared a special guest room for Ethan. Ivy returned to the cabinet to deal with diplomatic documents. When the room became quiet again, the cat opened its eyes, climbed onto the table along Ethan's arm, tilted its neck, looked at him with its big red eyes, and smiled.

What is coming will come sooner or later.

Ethan immediately explained, “Teacher, I can explain.”

He didn't notice at all when Winter actually read the novel.

"Teacher? You are the teacher and I am the student."

The cat still spoke in a hushed voice, its tail wagging gently.

If it were someone else, they would probably be bewitched by the cat on the spot, but Ethan was different. He was a scholar studying witches, and he could assure you with confidence that if a witch spoke to you in such a voice, nothing good would happen.

"We could perhaps ask Lao Mu to change the setting, or add a statement at the end of the second book saying 'the story is fictional, any similarities are purely coincidental'."

"That would be boring."

Maomao shook his head.

Ethan wondered what she would do next.

According to his experience, the cat would first use the "wagging tail" technique on him to lower his defense, and would most likely use offensive tactics such as "collision" next.

If we put aside ice magic, Cat is also good at skills such as "Punishment" and "Exploitation", which are skills that all cat Pokémon are good at.

"Ethan."

"Ok?"

"Let's go make a movie!"

Maomao's eyes sparkled. She thought that "Heisenberg and the Magic Book" would be a good original script. She had been thinking about this in her mind since she left the Wizard Tower.

Ethan's set in the wizard's tower inspired her and also mentioned the new art form of film to her.

Ethan believed that the Empire had already taken shape in the field of film. If the moving photos in the "Hypergrande Daily" were pieced together, a sixty-minute film could be made.

However, before Ethan came up with the idea for the film, no one had ever tried this before.

"It's not something that can be made casually. It requires the joint efforts of a team, and it may take about a year to complete."

As one of the important entertainment pillars of modern society, Ethan has also considered promoting the development of the film industry. However, the technology used in this world is completely different from the film evolution history he is familiar with. He still hasn't figured out why the photos in the "Hypergrande Daily" move.

However, compared to the film industry he was familiar with, the magic in this world greatly solved the problems in the field of "special effects".

Here you can directly capture the real magic duel.

It's possible that Voldemort and the Dark Arts are real.

There are even many beings that are much more powerful and strange than Voldemort, such as Baruch's aesthetic style, which is a spectacle that is difficult to create even with modern special effects technology.

"That is indeed a problem."

Maomao tilted his head and fell into deep thought. "If we want to film this, the duel of elemental magic is the most important part. You haven't experienced a proper academic magic duel at all."

This was her dereliction of duty as a teacher. Although Ethan grew into a powerful elemental shaper, he knew nothing about the customs of the academy.

"The magician's exams, essays, and duel system all originate from the academy. The elemental magic duel is an important event in the academy. Two championship battles are held every year. Each academy has a corresponding duel enthusiast club. In addition to the elemental magic competition, each contestant is allowed to carry a maximum of three scrolls during the duel."

With a "bang", Lindong turned back into human form and sat on the table by the windowsill basking in the sun. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if she was recalling the wonderful college life.

She felt that it would be a pity for Ethan not to have experienced college life.

"Of course, students can only carry low-level magic scrolls and are not allowed to use lethal spells during a duel."

"Rin Dong is right, magic duels are very particular!"

An unexpected guest broke into the house.

Rowena finally got to the topic she was best at. She had a say in magic duels - she had just defeated the fake Kadra in a magic duel yesterday. Although theoretically she cheated, winning was winning, and the process was not important.

"As far as I know, there are thousands of spells in fire magic alone. The number of spells that elemental shapers have is no less than ours."

An elemental shaper like Ethan who only knows how to cast the Fireball spell is undoubtedly a weirdo in the academy. "If you want to make a movie, you definitely can't do it this way."

"Where did you come from?"

Ethan was shocked.

"Sen Guards, on call!"

Rowena's face was full of pride. "Palansi and I have discussed the new name of the organization. Since you think 'Acolyte' is not good, let's call it 'Root'. We will support the empire like a tree root. Wherever there is a shadow, there we will be!"

She was a little swollen.

Even though Winter frowned at her, she was not as scared as before.

"Hehehe, little winter, I am also a saint!"

Rowena glared back, unyieldingly expressing her long-cherished wish, "Turn into a cat and let me pet you."

"Oh, really?"

The cold air swept through the room, and fire seemed to burst in the sight of the two men.

Until Winter said in a light tone, "I have killed two saints, and the record can be checked."

"hiss--!"

Rowena took a breath and admitted that she had spoken a little loudly just now.

Moreover, the witch Winter has been with Ethan for a long time, and her way of speaking has been distorted. Why should she just speak nicely? Why show off her achievements?
Doesn't she have any achievements?

Rowena's confidence weakened a little, "Don't forget, I also killed a saint."

"That was with off-field assistance, and you were killed by the guards of Riverwood Town."

Winter ruthlessly exposed Rowena. In her opinion, the battle in the Mage Tower was simply that Ethan had crippled the fake Kadra, and Rowena had gone up to beat him in the head. If one took into account all the setbacks she had suffered along the way, Rowena's record was still a loss.

Why do people with a losing record speak so confidently?
"You, me, you!"

Rowena was defeated in the verbal battle again.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to receive off-field assistance.

Someone knocked on the half-open door, and Sophia stealthily poked half of her head in. Her eyes were a little red and swollen, but her gaze was extremely hot.

"I just heard you guys say you want to make a movie..."

She mustered up her courage and asked, "Can you take me one?"
