Chapter 3249: Guidance from the Witch



When Ai Li returned to the office door, she was surprised to find that everyone else was still there.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah, Miss Ellie!"

Seeing Ai Li falling from the sky, many people showed relieved expressions on their faces, and the girl with long red hair and braids spoke hurriedly.

"Did you see it just now? There was a sudden thunder and there seemed to be an earthquake..."

At this point, the red-haired girl stopped and looked in surprise at Ellie's clothes which had become somewhat tattered. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like she had just been in a fight.

"Could this be Miss Ellie..."

"That's about right. I originally wanted to directly make a channel to leave this world and go back, but unfortunately... it's a bit troublesome."

Ignoring the strange looks from others, Ellie smiled slightly, then rolled her eyes.

"By the way, how about we make a deal?"

"……trade?"

"That's right."

Ellie nodded.

"I have some knowledge of how to live in this kind of place and some fighting skills. If you are willing, I can teach you these skills."

"Really?!"

Hearing this, the red-haired girl suddenly became excited, and many people also showed excited expressions. After all, they had just come to this world, they were completely in the dark, and they didn't know anything, not even their own past. In this case, someone was willing to guide them, which was naturally the best thing for everyone.

"So, what's the price?"

However, at this moment, the white-haired gangster spoke again. He stared at Ai Li and asked.

"Do you want money?"

"Money is of no use to me, and the things here are too backward and worthless to me."

Ellie shook her head.

"I need you to help me gather intelligence."

"...collecting intelligence?"

"That's right."

As she spoke, Ellie stretched out her wand and pointed at the tower not far away.

"Aren't you curious about the information about that tower and the situation in this world? Why did we wake up in that tower? Why did that tower allow people to travel to this world? Is this some kind of mechanism? Or is there someone behind the scenes manipulating it? Why did you lose your memory and end up here? Don't you have any ideas about these?"

“…”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent. To be honest, for those who had lost their memories, a lot of things had happened since they opened their eyes, so much so that they had no time to think. But to say that they had no questions at all... that was of course impossible.

"Then it's decided."

Ellie glanced at them.

"If you want to learn, gather at the grassland west of town tomorrow. Then, I wish you all a sweet dream."

Watching Ai Li's figure disappear into the night sky, everyone left one after another. At this moment, Nana also came close to Lala and asked in a low voice anxiously.

"What should we do now, Sister Wang?"

Although they had traveled to other worlds before, Fang Zheng was with them at that time. But now only she and others were left, and they couldn't contact Fang Zheng. Nana suddenly became a little worried.

"I think we can talk to the witch named Ellie."

At this time, Xiao An raised his hand and spoke.

"Obviously, she has her memories with us and wants to leave this world, too. I think if we can work together, it should be OK."

"Meng Meng, what do you think?"

Nana frowned and looked at Mengmeng. She herself didn't particularly like to use her brain, and she also knew that Lala was always independent and naive. Among her and others, the only ones with more ideas were Mengmeng and Xiao An.

"Um……"

Mengmeng stretched out her fingers and played with her hair.

"Indeed, it is a bit troublesome that we cannot contact Mr. Yuki at the moment. I think we should be able to reach some kind of cooperation with Miss Airi."

"Then it's decided."

At this time, Lala also smiled and made the final decision.

"Tomorrow we will go find Little Ellie and ask her if she is willing to cooperate with us!"

"But Sister Wang, where are we going to sleep tonight?"

“Ahahahahaha…”

This is a problem for anyone who has just come into this world.

Early the next morning, everyone came to the grassland outside the town without an appointment. Then they saw Ellie sitting on a broom, looking at the beautiful scenery of the grassland.

"it's beautiful……"

Looking at the silver-haired girl floating in the sky under the sunlight, the purple-haired girl couldn't help but sigh, and the red-haired girl nodded vigorously.

"Yeah, it would be nice if I could learn to fly..."

“You guys are here.”

Seeing everyone gathering together, Ai Li descended to the same height as them, smiled and nodded at everyone.

"Then follow me."

“…”

Although they didn't know what Ellie wanted to do, everyone still followed her obediently. Fortunately, Ellie didn't take them far, but only to a small hill nearby. Then she jumped off the broom and stared at everyone.

"Okay, let's start the class. Before that... do you have any questions?"

"I have a question."

The one who came out again was the white-haired man in the black T-shirt.

"You said before that the people here summoned us here to be cannon fodder... Is there any basis for that?"

"There is no basis for this, it's just simple reasoning."

"……reasoning?"

"That's right."

Ellie held up her finger.

"First of all, I've already said that erasing your memories is to make it easier to control. You've lost your memories and don't know your past. In this situation, even if you have doubts in your heart, you can only act according to what they say. After all, other than that, you are completely in the dark and can't be sure of anything."

Hearing this, no one spoke, but the white-haired man frowned.

"I've already heard you say this, but according to what you said, is there a second point?"

"certainly."

Ellie nodded again and held up another finger.

"That's why I think they are here to use you as cannon fodder. I have observed you, and most of you are not good at fighting, and there are no signs of training. In other words, in your original world, you should be just ordinary people, or you have other specialties - but now you have forgotten all of them."

Having said that, Ai Li pointed at the purple-haired girl.

"Take you for example. Maybe you used to be very good at a certain skill, and this skill allows you to survive in this world without fighting. If you have such a skill, will you still go out to fight?"

“…”

The purple-haired girl thought for a moment and shook her head timidly.

"That's right. People tend to seek benefits and avoid harm. We have nothing to do with this world, and we can't find any reason to risk our lives for it. If you still have your memories, as long as you make use of the knowledge in your brain, most of you can live well without risking your life. I'm afraid only a small number of battle maniacs or people without other skills will choose to fight for their lives."

After all, Fang Zheng has seen quite a few time travelers, some of whom have no interest in fighting and simply want to improve their lives.

"But if we lose our memories, our skills will no longer exist, so we have to fight?"

"That's it. To be frank, in my opinion, your value is only cannon fodder and outstanding cannon fodder. If the other party hopes to be saved by the summoning, but the summoned person loses his memory due to lack of ability, then it is meaningless. Not to mention that from the current situation, we are not the first batch, nor will we be the last batch of people summoned here. But what can be done by summoning people with no memory and no ability here? Humans need to eat, rest, and consume resources. If we are summoned here in vain, wouldn't it just be a waste of the world's resources?"

Having said that, Ellie clapped the magic wand in her hand.

"So, in my opinion, the only reason they summoned us is to use us as cannon fodder. After all, we are not from their world, so we won't feel bad if we die. Even if we are alive and have made achievements, we will only benefit this world and not harm it."

"hateful!!!"

Hearing what Ellie said, the big man clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the ground.

"Are we just going to let them do whatever they want?"

"Survival wisdom is inherently cunning and despicable... Well, what choices you will make in the future is up to you. Now I will teach you how to face and deal with battles."

Hearing this, everyone, including the girls, quickly focused their attention. After all, this was a question that affected their survival rate.

"I think you should have learned from that pervert that you are here to become volunteers and fight monsters and kill them... Then, who among you can tell me what is the most important thing in fighting?"

In response to Ai Li's question, a curly-haired boy quickly raised his hand excitedly.

“Powerful force!”

"Right... and wrong."

"What? Is it right or wrong?"

"Strong power can indeed solve all problems. As the saying goes, force can defeat skill. As long as your power is strong enough, all obstacles will be nothing. The problem is..."

Having said that, Ai Li looked at the curly-haired boy with a look that was like trash.

"Are you strong enough?"

“Woo…”

Under Ellie's cold gaze, the curly-haired boy turned pale and shrank back.

"If you want to fight monsters in the wild, there are two most important things."

Ai Li withdrew her gaze and looked at the others again.

"First, it's reconnaissance."

"…Reconnaissance?"

"Yes, when we enter an area, we must first find out how many monsters there are here? Where are they? How strong are they? Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. So my suggestion is that it would be best if one of you learn tracking skills, make judgments by examining the traces left by the monsters, or hide and conduct reconnaissance to determine the surrounding environment. This way, you can prepare a retreat in advance, so as not to find yourself surrounded by the enemy in the middle of a battle and end up in a dead end."

“…”

No one spoke. Everyone was trying hard to record what Ai Li said. The man with glasses also took out a small notebook from somewhere and nodded vigorously while recording.

"What about the second point?"

After a moment, the red-haired girl couldn't wait to ask.

"control."

"……control?"

"Yes, magic has many uses, but controlling the enemy is the most effective way. Don't start by thinking about how to learn offensive magic to deal with the enemy. For example..."

Ellie looked around, then locked onto the figure of a monster at the bottom of the hill. Then she snapped her fingers, and the next moment, a two-meter-tall monster suddenly appeared out of thin air.

“Wow!!”

"What is this!!!"

Seeing the giant monster suddenly appear in front of them, the group of people screamed in fear and hurriedly retreated. The giant monster seemed to be frightened by the sudden teleportation, but after seeing the people in front of him, he roared, raised his stick and rushed towards them.

"How? Can you deal with this monster?"

"You must be joking! This is absolutely not allowed!!"

"Think of something quickly!"

Everyone was panicked when seeing the troll rushing towards them. However, at this moment, Ellie raised her magic wand and pointed at the troll.

"Falling unconscious."

"Bang!!"

The next moment, the giant monster that was about to hit its target fell to the ground and passed out.

At this time, the others came over with lingering fear.

“This, this is…”

"As you can see, it is not worthwhile to fight such a giant head-on. However, as long as it is knocked unconscious, asleep, or even blind, its fighting power can be deprived. No matter how powerful it is when awake, once it is controlled, then..."

Having said that, Ellie stretched out her hand and a small knife flew out and stuck into the ground in front of everyone.

"Even a weak girl can kill it. Who among you can do it?"

Although Ai Li said that even girls could kill it, the female camp in the group took a step back. Only Lala was eager to step forward. Fortunately, Meng Meng pulled her back. As the first princess of Deviluke, she shouldn't be so active at this time.

In the end, it was the white-haired gangster who came up, picked up the knife stuck in the ground, and walked in front of the troll.

"The temples, throat, heart, and genitals are the most vulnerable areas."

Ai Li also did not forget to give the other party some advice.

"As long as it hits, it will cause great damage even if it doesn't kill you."

“…”

The white-haired gangster held a knife in his hand and stared at the troll in front of him. Then he roared and stabbed the knife into the troll's throat.

"roar--!!"

The unconscious giant monster woke up from this blow, roared and grabbed the white-haired gangster.

"The monster's resistance before death is the most deadly."

Ellie didn't care at all that the white-haired thug was caught by the troll and continued to speak.

"Even when you think you have the upper hand, remember this: a wounded beast is more formidable. By the way, your strike just now was shallow."

“Aaaaaaaaaah!!!”

This time, the white-haired thug clenched the knife again and inserted it into the giant monster's temple. Finally, the giant monster stopped moving and crashed to the bottom. The white-haired thug also breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

"Okay, that's it for the course."

Ai Li withdrew her gaze and looked at everyone.

"I hope you can remember what you learned today. At least it can help you improve your chances of survival. Next is the homework..."

"Why?"

"It's very simple. I told you before. I hope you can help me investigate the matter about that tower."

"Specifically?"

"For example, when was the tower built, who built it, how many people like us came out of it, and when did they come out... In short, all the information about the tower is left to you."

"It's such a hassle...why don't you just do it yourself?"

Hearing this, the curly-haired man immediately started to grumble, but Ellie didn't say anything. She just stretched out her magic wand and tapped the curly-haired man lightly - the next moment, there was a "bang", and the curly-haired man turned into a weasel in full view of everyone.

"Why?!"

"Alas--!!"

Seeing this scene, everyone retreated in surprise, and Ellie waved the magic wand again, and soon the weasel turned back into a curly-haired man again.

"Because this is our deal... If there is a next time, I will turn you into a mouse to feed the cat, do you understand?"

"I, I, I understand..."

This time, Curly didn't dare to say anything more.
