Have you ever been a witch? Take this fireball!

Chapter 22 My sister provides services here.

Dorothy held the gold coins she had just exchanged in her hands, barely having had a chance to enjoy them, but now she felt as if they no longer belonged to her.

Elor placed his hands on Dorothy's shoulders, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"Miss Dorothy, do you know why I'm traveling at this time of year?"

Dorothy shook her head.

"Because this is the day when the City of Apprentices graduates."

"Many magic apprentices either become full-fledged magicians and continue to stay in the City of Apprentices, or they are forced to leave the City of Apprentices because their study period is up."

"It was a time of great population movement, with people moving in and out of the apprentice city."

"Since there are graduates, that means there are new students, and you, my dear Miss Dorothy, are a new student!"

Although Elor was informing Dorothy about the current situation in the Apprentice City.

But the wicked smile on her lips made Dorothy increasingly uneasy.

Elor's lips curled up even higher, her smile appearing somewhat unrestrained.

"Congratulations! When you enroll, credits are very valuable, and it's around the time when one credit costs one hundred gold coins!"

"If you want to take those popular courses, you need credits. But where do you freshmen get credits?"

Purchase it from senior apprentices or magicians!

Dorothy stared intently at Elor in front of her.

Now she understood why Elor was grinning mischievously.

Now that Elor's strength has increased, she can be promoted to a junior mage upon returning, so she is not in a hurry to earn credits.

Elor placed her left hand on Dorothy's head and rubbed it.

"Hehehe, do you need a little help from your older sister? I offer loan services now~"

"Don't worry, I guarantee the price will be fair."

"..." Dorothy was silent for a moment before looking at Elor with a serious expression.

"Can you lend me your academic credits?"

Elor nodded.

"Sure, I need to use some credits when I'm certified as a novice mage, and I still have quite a few left. If you need them, I can lend them to you. Of course, you have to promise to pay them back, because I have a lot of magic I want to learn if I officially become a mage."

"After all, you saved my life, so I'm willing to help you with this little favor."

Elor lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, and the mischievous smile on his face disappeared.

"Don't worry, I will pay it back." Dorothy said earnestly.

"Uh..." Elor's expression froze for a moment.

"I will definitely pay it back," Dorothy repeated.

Dorothy's actions made Elor feel awkward instead.

Her tone was somewhat uncertain.

Why are you repeating yourself?

"I will definitely pay it back!" This time, Dorothy's tone was even more certain.

"You'd better really give it back to me." Elor didn't know what had suddenly gotten into Dorothy, so he could only nod helplessly.

Dorothy chuckled softly when she saw that Elor was starting to feel a little guilty.

A series of affirmative statements can create a sense of uncertainty in a person's mind.

She said that on purpose just to amuse Elor.

Who could blame Errol for making her mood plummet from the heights of her newly acquired 285 gold coins to the depths of despair?

After Dorothy laughed out loud, Elor realized that the little guy had just been teasing her.

She turned around and said coquettishly, "Hmph, I was just trying to help you, and you tease me like this!"

Dorothy bypassed Elor and headed towards the inn.

"I'm not kidding you, but this is all the gold coins I have on me. All I can tell you right now is that I'll pay you back later."

Elor caught up with Dorothy, her tone encouraging.

"Dorothy, you've cultivated magic at such a young age, you must be very talented. You won't lack points in the City of Apprentices."

Then Elor patted his chest and said, "Look at me, I'm in my third year in the City of Apprentices. My talent isn't very strong, but I don't lack points anymore."

"After deducting the points I need each year, I still have quite a few left over, which I sell to younger apprentices."

Dorothy simply nodded in response to Elor's encouragement.

Dorothy had no idea about her specific magical talents.

It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad.

Because I have a control panel, I can quickly master any spell I learn in a short time.

The two chatted and laughed as they walked toward the hotel.

After entering the room, Dorothy had just sat down to rest when she saw Elor take out his long staff.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Dorothy asked, somewhat puzzled.

Elor held up a finger, making a shushing gesture.

"Shh, we're being followed on our way back from the magic item shop."

Dorothy was startled by what she heard.

Although her adventures weren't as extensive as Elor's, she managed to remain unaware that she was being followed.

Dorothy closed her eyes and activated her magical perception.

The powerful senses spread outwards, reaching the travelers in the next room, the innkeeper downstairs who was busy at work, the chefs cooking in the kitchen, and the guests eating in the lobby.

Perception continues to spread outward.

Finally, they spotted two furtive figures in a small alley behind the hotel.

Dorothy opened her eyes and asked, "Are there two people?"

Elor glanced at Dorothy with some surprise and nodded.

Elor gripped the staff in his hand, his lips moving rapidly and silently.

Then, a magic shield with a radius of one meter appeared centered on Elor.

Elor beckoned Dorothy to come in.

Dorothy got up and stepped into the magic shield.

"This is a silencing spell; it can block our conversation from spreading."

Elor explained.

Dorothy blinked. As expected of a magician, Elor had mastered practical magic.

"What do we do now? Will they attack us tonight?"

Elor shook his head. "This town is very safe. Even the most audacious madman shouldn't dare to make a move. Of course, we should still be careful."

Dorothy frowned, wondering why she was being targeted.

"Sorry, I was carrying the bag of gold coins with me when I came out of the magic item shop. That's probably when we were being targeted."

"Don't be so nervous." Elor reached out and patted Dorothy on the shoulder.

"Don't be nervous, is this kind of thing common?"

Although she was comforted, Dorothy didn't want the rats lurking in the shadows to keep watching her.

She has a very insecure feeling.

Elor thought for a moment, "It's not very common. The main thing is that our kind of combination is the type that makes us easy targets for bad guys."

As he said this, Elor's gaze remained fixed on Dorothy.

Dorothy frowned slightly.

Elor's attire clearly indicates that she is a young lady from a wealthy family.

As for himself, he was shorter than Elor, and he wore a lining and leather armor for easy movement, as well as patchwork scale armor on his arms that provided some protection and ease of movement.

To demonstrate his strength, he always carried a greatsword on his back.

They don't seem like the kind of people you'd want to mess with.

But judging from Elor's eyes, it seems that the two of them were being targeted because of her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Dorothy was somewhat unconvinced.

Elor sighed. "You're like a little white rabbit trying to appear threatening by baring its teeth, but to others, you just look tough on the outside but weak on the inside."

"Because you can tell at a glance that he has no adventure experience and is a newbie, so he will definitely be targeted."
