332: Ellie appears
The next day.
Lyas finished washing up, her father had left early in the morning.
She ate breakfast with her mother.
After breakfast, Lilita said to Lyas, "You're going to learn witchcraft with me today, do you remember?"
Lyas pursed her lips, then nodded, "Mhm, I remember..."
Lilita smiled, "Are you full? If you're full, come with me."
Lyas nodded, then got up and followed behind Lilita, as the maid immediately began clearing the table.
Although Lyas didn't want to learn witchcraft, her mother was right; how could she know she didn't like it if she hadn't tried it?
To further solidify her path in swordsmanship, Lyas also wanted to try witchcraft.
Was it because she had only been exposed to swordsmanship that she only liked swordsmanship, or was it truly that she genuinely liked swordsmanship?
"I'll teach you a simple witchcraft first, called Fireball," Lilita said to Lyas, then raised her hand, constructed a magic pattern, and immediately, with a 'whoosh', a ball of flame ignited beside her.
"So amazing!" Lyas looked at the ball of flame beside her mother, feeling the heat emanating from it, and couldn't help but clap.
It was truly amazing! Is this witchcraft?
"How is it? Fun?" Lilita asked Lyas with a smile, "I'll teach you how to construct magic patterns now! Fireball is very simple, just one magic pattern."
"Okay." Lyas nodded.
Then Lilita began teaching Lyas how to construct magic patterns.
It had to be said, Lyas's talent in witchcraft was also very impressive; her spirit was naturally strong, and her magic power was astonishing.
Before long, Lyas successfully constructed the Fireball magic pattern and then cast Fireball.
Lilita's eyes lit up as she watched her daughter construct the magic pattern so easily and successfully cast it.
Her daughter would definitely become a stronger witch than her in the future! Perhaps she could surpass her! Reach a higher level!
And so, Lyas learned witchcraft with her mother.
In one day, she learned four 1st-tier witchcrafts, as well as over a dozen 0-tier witchcrafts, such as simple witchcrafts like Water Creation and Cleaning, which are categorized as 0-tier witchcrafts, mostly daily life witchcrafts or witchcrafts with little destructive power.
Her learning speed was evident.
"Lyas! You are a genius! How about it, have you felt the power of witchcraft? Isn't it fun? Learning stronger witchcrafts later will be even more amazing! Even more fun!" Lilita said excitedly to Lyas.
"Um... Mother... I... I still want to learn swordsmanship..." Lyas had learned so many witchcrafts, but she felt that deep down, she still wanted to practice swordsmanship.
"No! Lyas, swordsmanship and witchcraft are incomparable!" Lilita heard Lyas's words and instinctively frowned, but she took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then patiently said to Lyas.
"Whether for you or anyone else, learning witchcraft is the best! You know the future of witchcraft and the status of a witch!" Lilita said to Lyas, "And you have unparalleled talent! In twenty years, or even just ten years! You will definitely surpass me and become a higher-level witch! Maybe you won't even need ten years!"
"But I..." Lyas pursed her lips.
"No buts! Alright, Lyas, let's go have dinner! After dinner, get some good rest, and tomorrow, we'll continue learning witchcraft." Lilita didn't give Lyas a chance to continue speaking. After finishing, she stood up and walked towards the castle hall.
"..." Lyas pursed her lips. No matter how much of a genius she was, she was still just a 12-year-old girl, and she silently followed behind her mother.
"Give the order, no one is allowed to teach Lyas any knightly skills! If discovered! I will make their lives worse than death," Lilita said to the butler.
"Yes!" The butler immediately responded. Lilita's powerful aura and cold expression made the butler break out in a cold sweat.
He hadn't seen the mistress like this in a long time.
This reminded him of Lilita's witch name - The Crimson Queen.
After Lyas finished dinner, she immediately returned to her room, closed the door, and threw herself onto the bed.
"Wuwuwu~" Lyas couldn't bear the grievance and buried her face, crying.
"Ahem, excuse me, hello?" Suddenly, a voice sounded in her ear.
"Who?!" Lyas suddenly lifted her head and looked around.
"Hello, my name is Ally!" The voice sounded again.
Then Lyas saw the space in front of her distort, and a girl appeared before her.
"Who are you?! What do you want to do?!" Lyas was startled by Ally's entrance. Although she had only started learning witchcraft today, she had some understanding of various witchcrafts since childhood.
Although she didn't know what kind of witchcraft this was, being able to move through space... she was definitely an extremely powerful witch!
Lyas didn't know if screaming now would make the people outside hear her, but since the other party dared to show herself directly, it was highly unlikely.
Lyas forced herself to calm down, constantly thinking about how she should "break the situation," while also considering if the witchcrafts she had just learned today could be useful.
"Don't be nervous!" Ally could see Lyas's nervousness and her feigned composure, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "I came here because I sensed your belief."
"My belief?" Lyas was stunned when she heard Ally's words.
"Yup! That's right, it's your belief! Do you really want to learn swordsmanship!" Ally said, looking at Lyas.
"Mhm mhm!" Lyas's eyes lit up upon hearing Ally's words, and she nodded repeatedly in affirmation.
"I am not from this world," Ally said proactively, "The reason I can appear here is also because of your belief."
"You're not from this world?!" Lyas was stunned when she heard Ally's words.
"Mm-hmm~" Ally nodded and looked around, "This is our first meeting, but it's definitely not the last. How about this, it's not convenient to perform now. Tomorrow, if possible, I'll wait for you on the cliff to the east. If you're willing, I can teach you swordsmanship there. Of course, if you really don't trust me, then it just means we're not fated."
Ally said very directly that if this Foreign Teacher task didn't work out, she wouldn't teach it. Anyway, there was no failure penalty, she could just pick up a new one.
"But I have to learn witchcraft tomorrow..." Lyas pursed her lips, saying with some difficulty, "I'll finish as quickly as possible tomorrow! I'll come find you then!"
"I look forward to your arrival." Ally smiled immediately upon hearing this. It seemed her approach was quite effective! Yes, the path is correct!
