You call this magic?

Wiz finally calmed down, but she did not immediately withdraw from Ethan. Instead, she closed her eyes and quietly felt Ethan's magic.

"It's a very gentle magic." Just as Wiz said, even her voice became gentle.

Ethan was stunned. It was the first time he heard someone comment on this magic in this way.

"You must often use this magic to soothe others... Thanks to this, I already know what kind of person you are." Wiz sat back down opposite Ethan, a rather friendly smile on his frail face. "Welcome to Wiz's magic shop, Mr. Ethan."

Although the first meeting was a bit dramatic, both of them confirmed that the other was definitely a good person worth dating.

In the following conversation, Wiz also learned that Ethan had just arrived in this city and even registered his identity as an adventurer today.

"What kind of props are there?"

Speaking of this, Wiz immediately regained her composure and stood up immediately. "Please allow me to introduce you!"

"Well, you don't have to be so enthusiastic. Anyway, as an apology for activating my magic without permission, I'll buy something and leave."

Magical items have always been very expensive, and Ethan felt that he would most likely spend all his money. But it didn't matter, as long as he remained an adventurer, he would never starve to death.

In addition to some basic magic items and potions commonly used by adventurers, Wiz's magic item shop also has many strange things.

Wiz excitedly took out the first prop, which was a necklace that looked quite exquisite. Ethan could feel a special magic on it.

"Look at this! Wearing this necklace will ignite your life force and unleash a devastating explosion when you're on the verge of death!"

Ethan's hand froze as he was about to take the necklace. What the hell?

"And this one, an accessory that allows the wearer to activate the [Theft] skill at will. It's limited to the thief profession, and its only drawback is that it consumes more magicka!" She took out the second item.

[Theft] Doesn't every thief know how to do it? Isn't your limited thief class a bit redundant?

"And this one, the Frog Killer, special attacks against giant toads. If they eat you, you'll explode. It's pretty powerful!"

Ethan looked at the label that read "Two Hundred Thousand Eris" and remained silent.

Remember the guild's list of how much it costs to subjugate a giant toad? Even including the meat, it only comes to around 20,000 or 30,000 eris. Your investment and expenditure aren't proportional.

"And there's more..."

Ethan immediately stopped Wiz from taking things out. That was enough.

"Hey, I also bought a lot of interesting potions, don't you want to take a look?"

It felt like this woman's entire vibe changed when she started talking about the merchandise in the store.

"Well, tell me about it?"

It's okay that the magic props are relatively abstract, but your magic potions shouldn't be that abstract, right?

As it turned out, although Wiz herself was normal, and even kind and gentle to the point that Ethan felt ashamed of herself, her eyes made Ethan wonder how this woman could have lived to the age of twenty without starving to death before becoming a lich.

Potions that explode when impacted, potions that explode when opened, potions that explode when exposed to water, potions that explode when heated, and so on.

I see, this is a chemical store.

If the most eye-catching place in the store was not filled with props commonly found in normal magic prop stores, Ethan believed that her store would definitely go bankrupt in a short time.

Finally, under Wiz's expectant gaze, Ethan chose the explosive necklace.

Although this thing is abstract, if used properly, it can be a prop that can be used to finish off the opponent.

Ethan was interested in the effect of "automatically absorbing vitality and causing a violent explosion when on the verge of death."

It is indeed abstract to use it on yourself, but as long as you use it on the enemy, the effect will be extraordinary. Mom will no longer have to worry that I can't kill you with one set.

"Um, are you really okay with this?" Wiz accepted the money, but it was obvious that this was Ethan's only cash, so he made no attempt to hide it. "You just registered as an adventurer today, right? Do you have a place to stay tonight?"

"Well, I have hands and feet, there's no way I'm going to starve to death." Seeing Wiz's worried expression, Ethan probably knew what she was thinking. "I'll start my mission tomorrow. For tonight, I can just find a place to stay."

"Well, in that case... could you, could you accept my request?" Wiz mustered her courage. "I'd like to hire you to accompany me to a certain place. The reward is a day's food and lodging. How about that?"

Um? Is there such a good thing?

Wiz carefully cleaned up the shop he had messed up, closed the door, turned the house number over, locked the door, and then smiled brightly at Ethan: "Sorry to have kept you waiting, let's go."

Ethan looked up at the sky which was gradually getting darker. It was already around six o'clock in the evening. Where was he going so late at night?

"You're not planning to lure me to a secluded place and then kill me, are you?"

Recalling the exaggeratedly huge magic power he had felt before, Ethan felt that Wiz could really do it.

When watching the animation, I didn't feel any oppression from her at all, but when I really faced Wiz, I realized that her strength was somewhat abnormal.

"Really? I wouldn't do that!" Wiz explained excitedly, gesticulating. "Really, it's just a small thing!"

Seeing her nervous look, she completely took Ethan's teasing seriously.

This woman is really not easy to tease.

The two walked onto the street one after the other. It was dinner time now, the lights in the shopping street were on, the air was filled with the aroma of all kinds of food, and more and more people were coming.

After walking a few steps, the surrounding shop owners noticed Wiz hurrying out the door, and their eyes immediately became fixed on him, and they all came up to him to show their courtesy.

"Hey, Miss Weiss, are you going out?"

"Ms. Weiss, my store has recently received a batch of new products. If you have time, you can come and try them out~"

"Don't listen to him, Miss Weiss. I have some here too, and they're definitely better and cheaper than that guy's!"

"Asshole, what nonsense are you talking about! My goods are already the cheapest!"

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

Ah, the fight started.

"Okay, right there, hit him on the chin!"

"This guy recently had a ruptured hemorrhoid, kick him in the back!"

What a classic jealousy drama, but it's not right for you two to be in your forties and still be thinking about young girls.

Although Wiz is an immortal, she is a lich transformed from a human, and is quite young even among humans.

"Please, please don't fight!" The kind-hearted Wiz hurried forward to mediate, but was skillfully blocked outside the crowd by several middle-aged women.

"Well, Ms. Wiz, if you have something to do, just go and do it. Don't worry about those two idiots. They've been fighting for a long time."

"Yes, yes, Miss Weiss, please don't join in the fun. Be careful that they take advantage of the chaos and take advantage of you."

"Ah..." Wiz took two steps back with a pale face. "Then, then I'll take my leave! I'm sorry—"

Wiz apologized and fled the scene, and Ethan followed him with amusement. This was probably Wiz's daily routine.

"You're very popular." Ethan winked at Wiz.

"Please don't make fun of me." Wiz asked awkwardly, "Why can't the uncles just get along peacefully? Every time I see them, they're fighting, and no one seems to be in a hurry."

"Are you serious?" Ethan looked at Wiz with a hollow look in his eyes. "You really don't know why they are fighting?"

"Ah, I get it!" Wiz pondered for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up, a look of confidence in her victory. "This is what they call 'no fighting, no friendship'! I heard that men's relationships will become closer because of this!"

There's no saving it, just bury it.

Although Ethan was aware of this person's slowness, he didn't expect him to be so slow.

It felt like he could cheat her out of all her money and her life, but forget it, he really is a good man.

The two followed the road out of the town gate and came to the outside of the city.

For ordinary new adventurers, this is not a good idea. It is very dangerous outside the city at night, and the types and strength of monsters are not at the same level as during the day. But for Wiz and Ethan, this is not a problem.

"So, can you explain why you have to come out of town at night?" Ethan asked.

Wiz's body trembled, and he turned around nervously, but he didn't see any uneasiness or vigilance on Ethan's face. He felt relieved because the surroundings were so quiet that even his voice became gentle: "Well, you should know that I am a lich."

This was known long before.

"The Lich is also known as the King of the Undead. I can hear the whispers of souls wandering the mortal world. Among them, some were poor in their lifetime and didn't even have a proper funeral after death. They can't return to heaven and can only wander in public cemeteries. I just want to help them."

"I see." Ethan couldn't help but smile. As expected, Wiz was the conscience of this world. Just listening to her talk could make Ethan feel relaxed. "Then the question is, how can I help you?"

"Ah, this, that..." Wiz seemed to have been asked a sore spot. She glanced away nervously, but was worried that Ethan would have wild thoughts, so she glanced at Ethan carefully again. After meeting Ethan's eyes, she subconsciously looked away, as if she was desperately thinking about how to answer.

Seeing this, Ethan sighed in his heart, smiled and gave her a way out: "I understand. When you let these souls become Buddhas, you will be temporarily unable to move, and public cemeteries are also dangerous, so you need someone to protect you, right?"

"Uh, ah, yes, that's right! That's it!" Wiz's eyes lit up, revealing an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then a sweet smile blossomed. "Well, because my physique will automatically transform the surrounding corpses into zombies, so please help me suppress them for the time being, but please don't destroy them. They are just ordinary people affected by my physique."

Obviously, she was quite impressed by Ethan's [Sword of the Brave].

At this point, her mood immediately became high and she immediately quickened her pace: "Okay~ Then we have to hurry!"

Before it got completely dark, the two finally reached their destination.

It was the public cemetery as Wiz had mentioned, and it indeed exuded a rather ominous aura. Under normal circumstances, Ethan would probably just use the Golden Rule to solve the problem, but this time, he planned to watch Wiz's actions. He still wanted to learn the lich's abilities.

"Well, please wait a moment, I'll start right away." Wiz didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

She clasped her hands together, and a huge blue magic circle formed on the ground. At this moment, even Ethan could clearly see a large number of wandering souls hovering in the air. Under the guidance of this magic circle, they flew into the sky in groups.

At the same time, the ground next to Wiz bulged, and the rotten arm broke out of the ground. Wiz's expression suddenly became tense, and he subconsciously wanted to move, but finally held back.

It's not that she can't move, she just wants to give Ethan a chance to make a move.

Of course, Ethan would not let Wiz down.

[The Call of Tibia].

This magic was originally used to summon the spirits of the dead for use in battle, but in essence it is also about guiding the lost dead. It is very effective against creatures like zombies. With a slight change in usage, it can have the effect of suppressing zombies.

Ethan held a bell wrapped in white spiritual fire in his hand.

Gently shake it, and the crisp ringing sound spread throughout the venue.

"jingle"

The zombies were like sailors who were lost in the sea fog and finally saw the light of the lighthouse that penetrated the thick fog. They walked towards Ethan step by step.

"Rest in peace." Ethan whispered and rang the bell again.

"jingle"

At that moment, all the zombies knelt on the ground, like wandering ghosts guided by Wiz.

Wait, Ethan suddenly realized something was wrong.

No, Wiz, why are you kneeling too?

Volume 4: Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World: Chapter 7: Your Incense is Effective

“Yes, I’m sorry!” After everything was over, Wiz was still kneeling on the ground, but this time he was simply apologizing. “I don’t know what happened, but after hearing the sound of your bell, I felt like I had found my goal. I’m really, really sorry!”

"No, get up quickly! Why are you joining the fun with the zombies!" Ethan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was also secretly shocked. He didn't expect that the effect of this magic was so powerful that even Wiz, the king of the undead, was shocked.

However, based on Ethan's understanding of Wiz, it was likely that Wiz herself did not even think about resisting, otherwise, with her strength, it would be impossible for her to be controlled by a small skill.

At this moment, Wiz was in a state of being completely ashamed to face others, and was obviously embarrassed by his own gaffe.

But she also felt a little curious. What kind of person was Ethan?

The passive aura of the [Brave Sword] he wielded was enough to suppress her miserably, but he also knew how to use magic to guide the dead, and he would not act on his own even against beings like zombies.

After the magic circle disappeared, Ethan had already learned her magic of turning the dead into Buddhas.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ethan. Let's go back." Wiz was very happy. He successfully completed the work of liberating the dead today and also saw Ethan's magical magic of guiding the dead. After he used this magic, the zombies obediently returned to the tomb and there was no sign of movement.

It was as if the remaining immortality in her body was taken away by Ethan, which was beyond Wiz's goal, so she was in a very good mood now, and her favorability towards Ethan also increased a lot.

Of course, this probably has little to do with Ethan even guiding her along, right?

"Okay." Ethan looked at Wiz, who was about to return the same way, and extended his hand to her, "Give me your hand."

"Eh?" Wiz's face instantly turned red, and he panicked. "Eh, eh eh eh eh eh?"

What did he he he he he he just say, he he he wants to hold my hand?

"...Sorry, I'm rude." Seeing Wiz standing there in a daze, Ethan simply changed his strategy, came behind Wiz, and gently pressed on her shoulders.

【Shifting shapes】.

The air around the two of them twisted, and Ethan cast a spell to teleport back to the door of Wiz's shop.

In Wiz's opinion, he just blinked and returned to his home from the cemetery.
