[Your teaching of the witch was successful]

[She has mastered the four elements of earth, wind, water and fire]

[The emotional defect makes the witch different from ordinary people, but it also makes her magic practice very fast, and in some aspects, she has a unique understanding of magic]

[You are relieved because this means that the witch's talent is not bad]

[You think this kind of growth and progress can fill Krisa's fragile and sensitive heart to a certain extent]

[You begin to teach her more and deeper magical knowledge]

[Krisa studied very hard and took all your teachings to heart. She was also very respectful of you. In addition to learning magic, she also took the initiative to do housework.]

You didn't stop

[Because you know clearly that in order to restore a broken heart to normal, you need to give it not only confidence but also a sense of existence]

[Simply helping the girl and showing kindness and love without reservation will not make her return to normal, it will only make her confused and helpless]

【Therefore, you give the girl the "value" of existence】

[By doing housework, you can make girls feel that they are needed and valuable, rather than garbage that you can discard at any time]

[This approach can effectively enhance the sense of security in girls]

…

[Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two months have passed since you adopted the witch]

【It is now the end of December】

[Your popularity in Allenson City has slightly decreased, but among the lower-class civilians, you are still a household name and a popular topic. People often discuss how devout your faith is and how it can move the goddess of life to bestow divine grace.]

[You just laughed it off because you are not a believer in the goddess of life]

【The city of Allenson is located in the north of the world. Winter here comes earlier and more severely than in other cities. Snowflakes begin to fall from the sky, and pedestrians on the street shiver】

[Heavy snow, cold weather]

[In such an extreme environment, even breathing becomes extremely painful. The cold air flow ruthlessly cuts the mouth and nose, penetrates into the human body, and impacts and destroys without restraint.]

[But this has nothing to do with you. Your house is equipped with a full set of steam equipment, and you can also use fire magic to keep yourself warm.]

[You accidentally learned a piece of news from the Magician Association in the city center that orcs are launching an attack in a border city further north of Allenson]

[The murderous winter not only tortures humans, but also these alien races with extraordinary physiques]

[This incident did not cause any disturbance in Allenson. There are many mage legions stationed in the border area, and there are many god churches to assist in defense. There is no possibility of breaking through the defense line.]

【The new year is coming】

[From the nobles to the common people, everyone begins to prepare for the first day of the new year]

[This day is known as "Creation Day". In many religious churches, it is the great day when the gods jointly created the world. It is a day of celebration with enthusiastic cheers in the cold winter.]

…

lively.

Noisy.

And noisy.

Xu Xi sat in the warm and comfortable study, quietly listening to the noisy sounds coming from the outside world.

Since the weather turned cold, he hadn't heard such lively sounds for a long time, with children playing and adults laughing, adding a little color to this cold and silent winter.

In previous years, Xu Xi always spent the time alone.

But this year is different, there is a witch beside Xu Xi.

"Teacher, please."

A calm sound rang in my ears, without any violent ups and downs, and without any emotion, just like the gurgling of a stream, or the breeze passing through the treetops.

This is a beautiful voice that belongs only to Krisa.

"Thank you, Krisa," Xu Xi looked to the right.

After two months of nutritional supplementation.

The little girl was skinny and looked miserable at first.

The most basic color and shape have been restored.

Her long gray-silver hair was very soft, flowing naturally like a waterfall. She was wearing a black and white magic apprentice outfit, standing quietly with a cup of hot drink in her hand.

【Chaka】

This is a magical drink that has been passed down in human society.

Many people think of it as coffee from the magical world.

I took it from the girl and took a sip. As the warmth flowed down my throat and moistened my body, I could feel my mind becoming clearer and my perception of magic deepening.

This is the effect of Chaka.

One gold coin per cup.

"Black-hearted", Xu Xi smacked his lips, thinking that this so-called Chaka was just like this, far inferior to his three entries.

But if you think about it carefully, the native mages in the simulated world have no entry bonuses. It is understandable that the price of Chaka is driven up to this level just for the bonuses that Chaka provides.

shake head.

Xu Xi no longer paid any attention.

He put the cup back on the tray and stood up.

"Krisa, I have to go out for a while. Please look after the house."

"Yes, don't worry."

Xu Xi wore a formal wizard's robe, put on a wind barrier and fire warmth on himself, and then performed a wind control spell, riding the air flow to fly out of the courtyard.

The girl stood at the gate of the courtyard, staring quietly at the receding figure.

Until it is completely invisible.

Then I went back home to continue doing housework.

…

Today is the last day of the old year.

Xu Xi was planning to go to the Magicians' Association in the city center to settle some commissions, buy some new magic books, and show his face at the same time.

Xu Xi is not keen on interpersonal communication, but the identity of "slum wizard" brings him too much popularity. Many wizards are curious and rush to make friends with Xu Xi.

Through these personal connections, Xu obtained a lot of useful supernatural materials and learned a lot of information.

It was from here that the news of the orc invasion of the border was known.

So gradually.

Xu Xi developed a habit of visiting the Magicians' Association occasionally.

"Hey, Xu, long time no see!"

"Isn't this the famous Slum Light? Come on, come on, drink to your heart's content!"

"Mard, you old fool Tidolf, you used wind magic to cheat my dice again. Your tricks are the most useless!"

"Heh, can a wizard's business be considered cheating?!"

After entering the Magicians Association in Allenson City.

Some familiar people greeted Xu Xi, while some strangers were immersed in entertainment.

Compared to usual.

The association hall was much quieter.

"It seems that most people have gone back home to celebrate the New Year," Xu Xi said thoughtfully, nodded in response to those he knew, and then walked into the association skillfully to settle some of the commissions he had previously accepted.

After receiving the commission money, my wallet suddenly became much fatter.

Maybe he bought some supernatural materials and some magic books he hadn't read yet.

Through the red entry of mortal wisdom, Xu Xi can integrate extraordinary materials and extraordinary knowledge at an extremely fast speed, transform them into his own knowledge reserves, and go further and further on the path of a mage.

There is a famous saying in this world: The stronger you are, the deeper you are.

It means that a powerful wizard possesses profound knowledge.

Conversely, it can also be understood that the more knowledgeable a wizard is, the more powerful he is.
