Leo found himself transported into a desolate wasteland, the remnants of a once-thriving magical civilization. There, he became Yvette – an immortal witch who could neither age nor die.

Chapter 95-94- Saving the Country Through a Curve
Yvette's residence in Water Tower Country is a hotel suite on the top floor of a ruined building. Although hundreds of years have left it in ruins and it looks no different from a bare house, with the hard work of Yvette, especially the maid Abella, in cleaning and repairing it, it has now become a normal living space.
One summer afternoon in the third year, I woke up from my bed and looked out the window of the presidential suite at the merging sky and water. Yvette raised her hand and beckoned. Three steel-bound grimoires on the table immediately took flight and surrounded her. They all said in unison, "Good morning, great witch Miss Yvette. May I have your instructions?"
"Go see if Abella is awake. If not, wake her up. If she is, ask her to make me some fish soup. Also, just one person will do."
"Yes, great witch Miss Yvette." The three magic books responded and flew towards the door together.
In the end, because the "Wind Magic Book" flew the fastest, the "Pyromancy Magic Book" and the "Pure Blue Magic Book" had to stop in advance and return to the original table, standing upright on the table like two ordinary magic books.
After looking at the performance of the three magic books, Yvette was somewhat satisfied. These three magic books were different from mechanical puppets. They had no spirits and were purely AI-controlled.
In order to make the AI compatible with the spells she engraved, she also wrote a drive system for the magician - during the past three years, compared to the hardware, the software development was the most time-consuming.
Fortunately, she read the book "Detailed Explanation of the Technical Architecture Engine" many years ago, which helped her to simplify many processes by analogy. Otherwise, she might not be able to complete it next year.
Under the harassment of "The Wind Magic Book", Abella, who was sleeping in the next room, quickly got up and went downstairs sleepily to cook.
She has now recovered to a level very close to the third stage, and there is no need for three meals a day. It's just that in order to please her master, she spent a lot of time studying cooking, and ended up making her master addicted to it. So now, even if it is not an urgent need, she must cook for her master if conditions permit, and her own share is dispensable.
She couldn't help but feel regretful, thinking that if one day she succeeded in her revenge and her master fell into her hands, she would definitely let her master experience this miserable life of servanthood...
Abella's mood suddenly brightened when she imagined the cold silver-haired girl in a maid outfit, biting her lip, her face full of resentment and reluctance, yet having to lower her head and try hard to serve her. She became more motivated to cook the fish soup.
…
After breakfast, Yvette activated the follow-up mode on the three magic books and went to the top floor of the building.
This was originally an indoor botanical garden covered by a glass dome, which served the hotel's distinguished guests. After the apocalypse, the dome has long disappeared, and plants have become rampant, growing wildly everywhere. The overwhelming moss and green vines flow along the steel bars, gradually wrapping up the entire building. If you don't look outside the building, just being in it will feel like walking into a primeval forest.
Dugrabi was taking a nap here. He liked the lush feeling here, as if he had returned to the island forest in the Dragon Kingdom. Hearing some noise, he opened his eyes slightly and saw his teacher standing in a flower bed here. Blue and purple butterflies were dancing around her, making her look like an elf among the flowers.
"Uh... Teacher, why are you here... Today should be a holiday, right?" Dugrabi said a little nervously.
"These three are for you." Yvette said, and the three grimoires around her immediately received instructions from the level of mind control and flew in front of Dugrabi. "Enter the information and I will give you access."
"Ah? For me?" Dugrabi was very surprised. He had long been coveting the "original texts" of his teacher's elemental magic books. He could cast spells automatically without using his brain, so why did he have to memorize them so hard?
But I didn't expect that they would actually give it to it?
"This was meant for you from the beginning," Yvette said.
This was actually the truth. For her, what was useful was the knowledge compiled above. Upgrading the magic codex into a magical equipment was more about practicing and testing her accumulated knowledge in magical engineering, rather than actually using it.
And what if Dugrabi accidentally destroyed the paper grimoire after returning to the other world? Now he could get a grimoire with a steel cover, AI functions, and automatic combat capabilities. At least it would be durable.
"Teacher..." Dugrabi cried out with emotion. As the dragon prince, he had seen too many dragon servants or dragon descendants who wanted to flatter him, but the teacher was the only one who was different, because he was not qualified to ask the teacher to give him any special care. It was precisely because of this that the teacher's kindness to him was extraordinarily different.
If the teacher gets old one day, I will take care of him in his old age!
It secretly decided this, but it felt unlikely. After all, its teacher was different from its father. Though the Flame Dragon King was a top-tier mortal, he would also age and weaken, which was why this need arose. And the teacher was probably a member of the Protoss, right? On the Glowing Continent, the Protoss, a legendary race that gave birth to both true gods and demon gods, were believed to possess infinite lifespans and eternal immortality. Could it really survive long enough to provide for its teacher's retirement?
I feel like the probability of being outdone by the teacher seems even greater.
…
In the afternoon, Dugrabi, who had obtained the "Fire Magic Codex", "Wind Magic Codex" and "Pure Blue Magic Codex", went to Abela to practice with him like a happy puppy who got a new toy.
On the one hand, he wanted to experience the effects of these three magic books, and on the other hand, he wanted Abela to realize how big the status gap was between a lowly servant and a serious disciple in the teacher's mind.
That is definitely like an insurmountable chasm!
Then, during the battle, Dugrabi was even more shocked to find that these three magic books actually had built-in one-button combo!
As long as he continued to inject magic power and mental strength, the techniques inside would automatically connect together, combining to create a large number of changes that it had never seen before. After layering them on top of each other, the effect was so incredible that it was unheard of. In just a few moves, Abella was stunned!
You have to know that at this time, Abella has reached almost the level of the third stage. Combined with the magic techniques she stole, her combat power is probably no less than that of a fourth-stage leader. She should be able to suppress Dugrabi steadily.
But now, he can easily create a bunch of combo moves, and the linkage effects between them are comparable to forbidden spells. How terrifying is that?
To use an Auto Chess analogy, before, Dugrabi had to use his brain, carefully studying the pieces and their bond effects, and thinking about possible lineup development directions. Now, the ready-made formula is right in front of us, and we can apply it with the click of a button, without even having to worry about proficiency!
This is no longer an ordinary magical equipment. Even if it is placed in the dragon clan's treasure house, it is a genuine artifact, right?
…
When Dugrabi and Abela were fighting fiercely on a shallowly submerged stone platform, or rather, one-sidedly beating the other, Yvette was also watching the battle with her head down, nodding secretly from time to time, feeling that her ideas were being well implemented.
Yes, although she had confirmed this possibility through mental testing a long time ago, she was finally relieved when she saw in actual combat that the effect was as expected and there were no bugs such as technique collapse or fusion problems.
Sure enough, as long as you use excellent architectural techniques to connect small-scale spells together with reserved interfaces, you can increase their power step by step, one link after another, and finally achieve a damage level comparable to that of large-scale spells.
In the original civilization, no one would delve into this topic, as it had no commercial prospects and was only used for personal entertainment. Even if someone had a flash of inspiration and came up with this roundabout way to save the country, it would be too time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive, and the learning threshold was ridiculously high. It would be worse than buying it ready-made on the black market.
But for her at the moment, it is a very good way to solve many hidden dangers in the future.
