House Witch

Chapter 699

"Here, it should be here. I haven't been here for a long time."

A group of people came to the gate of a remote village, Yagyu Juhei pointed to the old-looking house at the entrance of the village, and said with some uncertainty.

On the side, Wen Wen, holding the camera, moved the camera to record the appearance of the village. While taking pictures, the Black Feather Witch couldn't help but complain.

"You are really a poor friend. This village looks like it has problems with food and clothing. Thanks to you, you have the nerve to ask someone to borrow money."

It is really difficult for Wen Wen to understand why these Japanese witches are living such a miserable life. They are witches no matter what.

As a reporter, she is definitely well-informed, but the average living standard of the witches on Dongying Island is definitely the lowest she has ever seen.

No matter how poor the witches in the outside world are, they must have no worries about food and clothing. Even if they can't afford a private sky island house, it's not difficult to get a small house with a single family in that kind of large residential area.

As for food, witches don't need to eat. Eating is just to satisfy the taste sensation. For a witch who specializes in breeding, it is nothing more than something that can be ripened with a random spell.

What is really expensive is the spiritual ingredients that contain magic power. Long-term consumption of these spiritual ingredients will help the little witch's magic power increase, but the low-level spiritual ingredients are not so expensive that it is unacceptable, even for a relatively poor witch family. It may indeed be unaffordable to eat every meal, but it is not difficult to eat one meal every two or three days.

In short, no matter how poor the outside world is, the life of a witch is comparable to ordinary nobles, and even the nobles may not be comparable.

But look at the witches of Dongying Island

Alas, just this dilapidated log cabin is disgusting to ordinary people, let alone a witch, who is obviously a witch with extraordinary power, but her life is more miserable than those ordinary people. Haha, what is wrong with this?

"Tsk, even if you have no money, you can easily build a beautiful little house with the power of the witch herself. Is it so shabby for a magic thing?"

Wen Wen complained in such a low voice.

And Dorothy glanced at the village, not very surprised by this situation.

"Oh, that's how there are too many monks and too little porridge."

She sighed and said so.

Dongying Island is not too big, and the whole is only about the size of a medium-sized witch leader, but the population is very dense in places that are bigger.

The population statistics of Dongying Island that Sophilia showed her before, this fart big place directly has a population of two billion, which is outrageous.

You must know that the total population of the entire Witch World is only over 50 billion, but the territory of the Witch World is hundreds of millions of times that of Dongying Island.

The witches are scattered in this huge world of witches, which is directly sparsely populated, which makes the Council of Sages a headache.

After all, witches have never stopped expanding their territory, and the territory of the witch world is constantly expanding. In contrast, the low birth rate of witches can't keep up with the expansion speed of the territory. The population depletion of the high mortality rate of the war race.

The Council of Sages is often annoyed by the fact that a large area of ​​land has become barren due to no management. Anyway, all kinds of propaganda on the magic net that promotes marriage has never stopped.

But Dongying Island and Wanjie are two extremes.

Dongying Island has always been closed in the past, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, and locals are not allowed to go out.

But a witch is a species of longevity, and the most common witch has a lifespan of a thousand years, but the fertility of a witch is not low.

Powerful witches may be hard to find offspring, but the fertility of ordinary witches is not much worse than that of ordinary people. Even if the birth of a witch is a punishment mechanism, the birth of a child will cause the magic power of the witch and her partner to decline permanently, but ordinary witches don't care about this at all. Anyway, no matter how hard their aptitude is, they still have no hope of becoming great witches, so why not have more children and take a gamble, what if they give birth to a mutant genius?

The weaker you are, the more you can live.

Then the result can be imagined, even if the land area of ​​Dongying Island is about the size of two or three earths, this place may be huge enough for mortals, but it is too small for witches.

Generally speaking, the resident witch population of a medium-sized witch collar like Dongying Island should not exceed 100w, but now, Dongying Island is obviously seriously exceeding the standard.

The island's limited land resources are not enough to nourish so many witches. What's more troublesome is the severely solidified social constitution of Dongying Island.

The vast majority of the land on this island belongs to the Chinese ethnic group, which consists of hundreds of thousands of people.

As a matter of course, these ordinary Japanese witches don't want to live a comfortable life. They even have to depend on the Chinese, and rely on serving the Chinese grandparents, so that they can barely obtain the few resources.

To put it bluntly, it is no different from a slave.

Witches are indeed extraordinary beings with extraordinary power, and their productivity is indeed strong, but the prosperity of the overall productivity and the standard of living of an individual have never been said to be directly proportional.

It has never been productive forces that divide classes, but whether they have mastered the means of production.

Obviously, these ordinary Japanese witches don't have that kind of condition.

Ordinary witches in the outside world are masters no matter what. Even if they belong to the lower class in the witch society, they also belong to the upper class in the entire western universe, and there are many servant races below them.

But this Dongying Island

Witches can hardly afford to eat, you still count on mortals.

Dorothy had already discovered that there were so few mortals on Dongying Island, even fewer than the number of witches. It was probably literally killed by the witches.

But curly dogs often do not end well, and the high internal friction brought about by extreme introversion is never a good thing.

The house witch couldn't help sighing, but looked down at the red shadow around her waist, and her gaze became firm again.

It doesn't matter, I'll do it later.

This piece of darkness that has shrouded Dongying Island for a long time will be torn apart by me, and the days to come will always get better and better.

On the other side, Yagyu Jubingwei looked at the shabby village with a look of shame on his face. She almost wanted to turn her head and leave, but just as she turned her head, she saw that Ba Dao Zhai was looking at her sword, and There was a cold killing intent in his eyes.

Miss Jianhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward to knock on the door.

In fact, she is not very familiar with this family.

Decades ago, when she was still immature at that time, she traveled the entire island in order to hone her sword skills. The road was bumpy and she rescued many people. This family was one of the people she rescued at that time.

This family is a hunter. In order to offset the lord's tax, they ventured up the mountain to try to hunt a bear demon. Naturally, they almost lost their lives.

And I happened to pass by at that time, and saw that the bear demon was really powerful, and it was a good material for practicing swordsmanship, so I went up to see and add a sliding shovel, and successfully killed the bear demon, saving the lives of the family.

Afterwards, the family invited her to a meal, and said that they would not forget their life-saving grace, and that if their benefactors needed it in the future, they could just say a word, and they would go through fire and water and die.

Of course, Miss Jianhao didn't care about it at that time, after all, she didn't think these ordinary people could help her, they were too weak.

So, after that meal, she left directly, and the two parties have never been in contact for so many years. If all the rich "friends" hadn't died this time, she might not be able to I remembered that I still have such a poor "friend".

Well, and she still has millions of such "poor" friends.

No way, when she was traveling, she hacked monsters, murderers, and even natural disasters such as strong winds and floods, and indeed saved many people. Everyone said the same thing afterwards, and she has never I didn't take it seriously.

Although these friends are poor, as long as everyone borrows dozens or hundreds of gold dollars from themselves, they can almost repay the debt of Ba Dao Zhai.

only

Alas, she knew that these friends were poor, but she really didn't expect to be so poor. Let alone hundreds of witch gold dollars per person, I feel that a few gold coins per person may be enough.

Besides, it's been such a long time, it's hard to say whether people still recognize me as a "friend".

At this time, Yagyu Juhei was a little depressed. After dozens of "friend visits" that ransacked her home and destroyed her family, she now doesn't understand things like "friends".

Those rich "friends" who have been in constant contact with her all these years have betrayed her, so these "friends" who have not been in touch for decades are probably even more unreliable.

Really, I feel that it is more reliable to repay debts with money. I am also a swordsman after all, and it is enough to pay off debts for Ba Dao Zhai to do whatever he wants for hundreds of years.

While Miss Jianhao was thinking wildly, the door opened soon, and a witch with a pretty face came out.

"Who are you looking for? Yagyu-sama, it's you."

Seeing a stranger coming to the door, this handsome witch was a little nervous at first, but then her eyes widened, full of disbelief.

"Great, Mr. Liu Sheng, you are all right. Those notices are talking nonsense, saying that you were killed by the Ba Dao Zhai, so I said how can this be."

The witch's joy could be seen, her eyes were red with joy when she saw her benefactor again, but when she turned her head and saw the cold swordsman with a cross scar on his face behind her benefactor, she was immediately stunned.

"Baba. Ba Dao Zhai?"

Because of the notice posted everywhere, the appearance of thousands of people beheading Dao Zhai has long been widely circulated, and because the previous notice said that his benefactor, Mr. Liu Sheng, was killed by this Ba Dao Zhai, how could Qingxiu Witch's family hear it? This, so I directly hated this enemy "Drawing the Sword", so I remembered it very clearly, and now I recognized this enemy at a glance.

But how do benefactors and enemies get together?

This unexpected situation caused Qingxiu Witch's brain to crash immediately.

"That's a long story."

This situation also gave Yagyu Juhei some headaches, alas, it was his own impulsiveness that ruined Miss Badao Zhai's reputation.

"That's right, but Yagyu-sama, you're fine, it's always a good thing."

When the delicate witch saw her benefactor like this, she nodded in understanding and didn't ask any more questions. She just warmly greeted the three of them to enter the house.

"My lord, come in and sit down. Please have a meal together today."

As she spoke, she yelled into the room again.

"Sanada, come quickly and see who is here."

Upon hearing the greeting, another witch with a gentle appearance came out with two little girls who looked about seven or eight years old.

"Master Yagyu! You are really fine, that's great, God bless you."

The gentle witch was also very excited when she saw Yagyu Juhei. She covered her face and couldn't help thanking the god for protection.

Immediately, she pulled the two little witches forward and let her two daughters meet the benefactor.

"Kana, Zhizi, hurry up and meet Yagyu-sama."

In short, the family is very enthusiastic.

And this also moved Miss Jianhao a little.

She didn't expect that after decades of not seeing each other, this family would recognize her as soon as they met. This is a real friend, and what was all that before.

However, being moved was moved, she also glanced at the furnishings of this home, and judged at a glance that this is a home that looks the same.

This home is not much better than it looks from the outside. The furniture and objects are all old and old. It can be seen that the life of this family is really not very rich.

Miss Jianhao was immediately entangled, how could she have the nerve to ask for a loan in this situation.

However, she was embarrassed by someone.

Dorothy saw that the family was really enthusiastic about making dinner, she hurriedly interrupted, this is not the time to eat, and there are still many friends of Liu Sheng who will run away, so...

"Yusheng, she fell out with her family. Now she is penniless and owes a terrible debt to a terrible existence. If she doesn't pay back the money, she will die. So she is here to borrow money. Do you want to borrow money? If there is no money to borrow Then we have to go to the next one to ask."

The house witch does not get straight to the theme of emotion.

"you"

Ms. Jianhao glared at her immediately, but there was no way she could get angry. After all, what Ms. Badaozhai said was the truth.

"Sorry, I'm the one who interrupted you. Let's go now and go to another house to ask. Don't listen to her nonsense. It's actually not that serious. I have a lot of rich friends. I just happened to pass by your house this time. Just take a look."

Yagyu Juhei's fair face immediately turned red, she looked at the family who suddenly fell silent, and hurriedly tried to be brave.

The delicate witch and the gentle witch looked at each other, and their eyes also began to be tangled and hesitant.

Just when Miss Jianhao had pushed Dorothy and Wen Wen to the door, and was about to forcibly pull them away from here, the delicate witch spoke.

"Wait, Yagyu-sama, please bring these."

She chased after him, then took out a bulging money bag from her bosom, and handed it to Yagyu Juhei.

Before Miss Jianhao could refuse, the purse had already been taken away by Dorothy.

The house witch opened the purse and found that it was actually full of copper coins and silver coins. It looked like a lot, but in fact the total sum was estimated to be more than a hundred gold dollars.

But this is not a small amount of money, especially when the family's living conditions are so poor, it is really surprising that they still have such savings.

"Mother, that's my sister's tuition to learn sword."

The younger of the two little witches on the side saw her mother's movements, and she hurriedly shouted.

But before she finished shouting, she was covered by the sister next to her.

The older little witch said shyly.

"Actually, my talent is not good, so I don't need it. You, Yagyu-sama, need it more than I do. After all, if it weren't for you, neither my sister nor I would have been born."

Although this little witch is young, she is sensible and distressing.

There was a flash of magic power in Dorothy's eyes, and she found that this little guy seemed to be a young genius, and at the age of seven or eight, he already had the same level of magic power as her.

ah this

The house witch silently put away the purse, then turned and left.

"You stop, you are ashamed to accept this money, won't your conscience hurt?"

Yagyu Juhei was in a hurry, she quickly blocked Dorothy, and then tried to grab the money by attacking her chest.

As for this, the house witch dodged with a quick step, and then looked at her speechlessly.

"Aren't you a swordsman? Don't you know how to teach swordsmanship?"

She looked at this guy like a fool.

Miss Jianhao was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"I'll give you ten minutes, and the next one will be in ten minutes."

she said so.

And Yagyu Jubingwei didn't dare to delay, she hurried forward, and then took out a sword manual with detailed annotations from her arms, handed it to the little witch who wanted to learn swords, and then demonstrated it again against the clock.

The sword hero is passed on to the sword.

The weather is hot and cold, I have a bit of a cold, you should also pay attention
