Chapter 6: Gossipy Aunt Wolf
After exploring the brewing workshop, Jiangyou returned to the first floor.
She found a small door behind the stairs leading to the backyard. When she went out, she discovered that the brewing workshop also had a large "sun"-shaped yard.
The "mouth" above the "sun" shape is a field near the wall, about an acre in size, sparsely planted with some plants that Jiangyou may or may not recognize.
The "opening" below was of similar size. It was a flat bluestone-paved drying yard with many dried herbs spread on it.
"A two-acre yard and a four-story (including basement) building, what kind of wealthy family is this!" Jiang You stared with wide eyes and couldn't help but start calculating the house and land prices. Finally, she came to a conclusion: her time travel was worth it!
"Even though I don't have much money on me, this house and this land! If it were in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or Shenzhen, they would be worth hundreds of millions!"
She has the sky, the land, and she can even grow crops! Oh my god! Her bloodline talent, which she has never used before, is about to awaken in this Western fantasy magic world!
Jiangyou was squatting on the ground, cupping his hands of dirt and enjoying himself, when suddenly a furry wolf head with a pink and purple bow emerged from the wall. It spoke human language—at least the language of this world. The voice was that of a middle-aged woman, sounding like an older woman: "Ayou! You succeeded! I haven't seen you in a few days, and I thought you failed!"
"Ah?" Jiang You slowly raised her skull, the soul fire in her eyes flickering: "It wasn't very successful..."
"Oh!" The wolf lady jumped up and down a few times, then nudged her head towards the wall. Finally, she could clearly see the white skeleton squatting on the ground. She cried out again, "It's okay! Ah You! As a magician who can cause accidents even when washing a crucible, it's great that I can become a lich! It doesn't matter if it's a failure, I'm already a lich anyway!"
——This Aunt Wolf knows a lot.
Jiang You put down the dirt in his hand and scratched the back of his smooth skull. "That's not wrong in principle...but the mess he made this time is really outrageous."
Auntie Wolf hopped on tiptoe a few times, her heart burning with desire to hear gossip, but she was not tall enough. She waved to Jiangyou... with her claws, and said, "Come, come, Xiaoyou, if you have nothing to do, come to my house for some tea~"
A few minutes later, Takuya, who finally found the backyard door, appeared on a patio chair in the backyard of his next-door neighbor, Aunt Wolf.
She glanced at the plate of dog bone-shaped cookies on the table in the courtyard, picked up the cup of lemon herbal tea in front of her, and took a sip with relish. However, she didn't taste anything at all, and the herbal tea even dripped through the skeleton and onto the chair.
Jiang You: “…” It leaked, it leaked!
Aunt Wolf waved her hand dismissively. "Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Don't worry about it. Ah You, you just became a lich, so there must be a lot of things you're not used to... So, what went wrong this time?"
——The word “又” is very telling.
Jiangyou coughed lightly, hesitated for a second between lying and telling the truth, and finally decided to tell the truth - after all, she was a certified lich, and the mistake was made by the original owner of the house, so it was not her turn to bear any responsibility!
"Ahem... the soul's name is written wrong." She whispered, then buried half of her skull face behind the lemon tea cup.
"Oh~ The name is written wrong~ Then no... no..." Aunt Wolf's pupils gradually widened and became round. She finally realized something: "Wait! This is not a trivial issue! Isn't this a huge mess?! So you are..."
"This is what happened..." Jiang You sighed and told his story in detail, but he hid the explosive news that he came from another world.
"Hiss!" Aunt Wolf took a breath and racked her brains to find an adjective, but she tried to hold it in for a long time, so much so that even the hair on her face stood up. She just couldn't find a suitable word to describe her weird and helpless mood at the moment. She couldn't help wanting to laugh but felt it was too hellish and unfair to her neighbors.
"Forget it." Aunt Wolf gave up decisively. She stretched out her paw to adjust the bow on her hair. "Maybe this is her fate... Honestly, in the few months I've been her neighbor, I've seen more magical accidents than I've seen in the classroom in my entire teaching life... Not to mention, the ones I teach are wolf cubs aged 3 to 10!"
She sighed. "Ayou really doesn't have any magical talent at all... Ah, I'm talking about Miyou. She's so impulsive! You know, the reason she needed to become a lich was because of that crucible incident..."
"That's what you just said, that washing a crucible can also cause accidents..." asked Jiang You.
"Yes! Doesn't she have a time magic cauldron passed down from her mother? The child was just trying to clean out the waste from the failed aging potion, but she accidentally knocked the cauldron over, and half the waste poured onto herself...
"That's not some external potion! Some organs of the body have aged, while others remain young. This is an unsolvable magical accident!
"If she simply drank the wrong aging potion, then drinking a aging potion would counteract the effects... but in her case, her body can only be said to be ruined."
Aunt Wolf shook her head helplessly. "But she's certainly quite capable, at least in terms of her interpersonal skills... Her mentor is the kingdom's royal magician, Mebucha Huntington, the younger brother of King Mabley Huntington! I don't know how she became so connected to him, but anyway, he got her a Black Magic Charter and taught her how to become a lich..."
She glanced at Jiang You: "I never thought that this could fail..."
Jiang You: "..." I feel that this homeowner is really unreliable!
Aunt Wolf continued: "ε=(′ο｀*))) Hey, don't underestimate her because she is just a novice magician. Her mother, Mi Funa, was very powerful in her time. She was a true master of potions and could brew excellent potions!
"During that period, this city was at its most prosperous! The reputation of that brewery spread throughout the principality, and people from all over the country came from thousands of miles away to buy medicine!
"The customers at her door line up for several blocks before dawn, always blocking my way out!"
She sighed deeply, "What a pity! No matter how good a potion master is, he or she cannot save himself or herself from accidents and misfortunes."
