"The war points you have are indeed a tremendous fortune for the Great Witch."
"But, Kehan, are you really willing to have such a narrow perspective?"
"The path to the end is right before you, and I happen to have a pool of spells that can take you from the Great Witch all the way to the end."
Although there seem to be no prerequisites for witches to learn magic, as long as they have enough magic power and a certain degree of factional adaptability, they can become witches by drinking a potion!
Don't take it too easy.
But this only applies to ordinary spells; learning rare spells is a completely different story.
Rare spells are not optimizations of a basic spell; they should actually be called family spells or inherited spells.
Because rare spells are usually not a single spell, but rather a whole set of progressively evolving spell styles.
Only through continuous research by a family unit or by witches passed down their skills through generations can a spell that has already been optimized to its limit be made to stand out again.
For example, Jiang Kehan's self-created Blazing Light is a good example.
To learn Blazing Light, one must master the two prerequisite spells "Blazing" and "Wide Area Light," as well as several spell techniques.
Even if Jiang Kehan develops a potion that allows her to directly learn the Scorching Flame Condensation Magic and related theories in the future, it will only be a weakened version.
In terms of cost, power, and even casting time, it is inferior to the version with prerequisite spells.
This is because possessing the potion itself limits the power of the spell.
Truly complex spell models are difficult to learn directly using potions; to achieve compatibility, some sacrifices must be made.
In fact, the rare spells circulating in the market are all weakened versions. This is to make it easier for other witches to learn them, and also to ensure that the rare spells they cast are not bullied.
Angela isn't that stingy; she's the type who always teaches the prerequisite spells along with the basics, though the price is always incredibly high.
Jiang Kehan estimated her war points and regretfully discovered that what the other party said was true.
If she only needs to purchase rare spells with the ultimate limit of the Great Witch, her war points will be more than enough.
However, if you want to start learning the prerequisite spells for the Great Witch level now, and then still have rare spells of the level of "Erjiu Ni Liu Jiu Yao San VIII6 Yue - Yi Ying" after reaching the end,
This amount of war points is not enough.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Jiang Kehan sighed, then looked seriously at Angelie. Since the other party had deliberately brought it up, she must have already thought of a solution.
Or perhaps Angela had already laid a trap, waiting for the little rabbit to walk right into it.
Doesn't Jiang Kehan know?
She knew all too well, but who could resist Angela's rare spell?!
"Hmm." Angela smiled, very satisfied with Jiang Kehan's performance. She took the tea and snacks Nova handed her, gently blew on the foam on top, and then slowly said.
"I need an administrative officer. I wonder if you would be interested?"
The clerk, in essence, served the lord's paperwork system and did not possess any real power. He could only prepare plans for the lord to decide or carry out the lord's orders.
However, Angela's territory had no alien races at all, and the dozens of great witch dolls she possessed were able to properly manage everything within her territory.
Therefore, the "administrator" she referred to is actually closer to a secretary.
And your dance partner!
The only downside to Jiang Kehan is that she has to spend a lot of time with Angela.
However, learning magic is a long process and requires staying by the other person's side frequently. So, rounding up, this is a pure profit!
Jiang Kehan had initially tried to convince herself of this, but after a brief silence, she did not agree.
"why?"
"You shouldn't lack suitable witches to serve you, right?"
she asked.
Angela pondered for a moment, then raised an eyebrow slightly, her attitude becoming serious.
She put down the tea and snacks in her hand, and stretched her neck towards Jiang Kehan with a rather imposing air, staring at Jiang Kehan, who was also staring at her.
"In fact, I'm desperately short of people like you."
"Kehan, do you know?"
"As a great ruler and a tyrant, I will never keep a witch who is completely loyal to me by my side."
“Even... not even dolls.”
Upon hearing this, Nova, who was pouring tea for Jiang Kehan, paused slightly, but quickly regained her composure and did not deny Angelie's words.
Jiang Kehan was even more puzzled. The reason she didn't agree immediately was because of the abnormality she sensed through her sixth sense.
The position of administrative officer next to Angela seemed to have never existed before.
So the other party's almost deliberate invitation made Jiang Kehan somewhat uneasy; she needed a reason that could completely convince herself.
So she asked the question that had been accumulating in her heart ever since she met Sula.
"Why are you surrounded only by puppets and servants who do what you need, and not by anyone you can be close to and serve?"
"This...shouldn't be right?"
Angela narrowed her eyes slightly, looking somewhat dazed, but she didn't hide it.
"Kehan, you need to know that good can also turn into evil. The good intentions of Fang Qier may not necessarily be good for you."
"Moreover, as the supreme being, you should make others constantly try to figure out your intentions, thereby slowing down their actions."
A rare sadness flickered in her eyes as she spoke.
"Sometimes, when you clearly express that you want something, there will always be people who are willing to give their lives for it in exchange for your smile."
"But... how could they know that they are the most important things to me?"
"Therefore, I will not allow anyone to repeat the same mistake."
"And you are different."
Angela concluded that she had done something wrong.
"You are worthy of my trust, and in the future we will stand on equal footing."
"So, I chose you."
Chapter 477 Hello, My Lord
After a moment of silence, Jiang Kehan slowly nodded, seemingly convinced by the other party.
But in reality, she only saw the weariness in Angelie's eyes, and more... a slightly indifferent habit, and felt a little sorry for her.
And Angela was right, they will only be equal in the future.
Therefore, if Jiang Kehan wants to resign and leave, the other party will not deliberately stop her, but presumably Angela will not continue to teach her magic.
"I agreed, but I still have a question."
After thinking it over, Jiang Kehan said somewhat seriously.
"Becoming your affairs officer won't affect my original plans in the British Empire, will it?"
“Of course, you may have some misunderstandings about the relationship between the affairs officer and the lord,” Angelette explained.
“Essentially, the relationship between the civil servant and the lord is a simple employment relationship, and the civil servant can leave at any time.”
"After all, the laws of the world stipulate that all great witches are equal."
"Whether in my eyes or in the eyes of other witches, your evaluation of yourself will not be affected just because you are my affairs officer."
The creation of administrative officers is related to some great witches who dislike management, but more so, it is a continuation of an old habit.
Many of the Great Witch's agents are witches who came from their own territories, or even witches from other races.
They maintain a shared home in their hearts, but that's all; there's nothing special about their personal relationship.
"That's good." Jiang Kehan still felt something was off, but out of trust in Angelie, she had no objections.
"However... I'm still very curious, besides witch duels, what other ways are there to quickly prove my strength and convince the other witches?"
Jiang Kehan asked curiously, "The Grand Witch level duels are actually not common. Even the highest-level Witch Championship is held only once every five years, not every year."
As for other competitions, this year happens to be the year of the Witch Championship, so they deliberately avoided opening the competition this year.
The Witch Tournament begins at the turn of the old and new two-year cycles, which is still a few months away.
“Hmm…” Angela pondered, carefully selecting suitable and effective methods for Jiang Kehan, but in the end she only found two.
"Considering that you have to learn magic while trying various things to prove yourself, something like a broom contest that requires a long period of training is actually not suitable for you."
"There are only two kinds of things that are short-term or do not affect your learning of magic."
"What is it?" Jiang Kehan looked at Angela, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Balconies, and wars," the other party said.
A ball...and war?
Jiang Kehan blinked slightly, looking a little confused. The two words together sounded awkward, but clearly, Angela wouldn't make a joke at this moment.
“Yes.” Angela stood up and looked out the window.
"Balconies are essentially a way for nobles to test their power, and also a quick and effective way to prove the strength of a lord."
"After all, everything that is not different from the sun (two) and the object (seven) always loves to dance on the edge of a knife."
"As for war..."
She turned around, looking somewhat troubled.
"You should be aware of the current state of the deconstruction of everything in the ideal world, right?"
Jiang Kehan nodded; she understood almost instantly.
"Are different empires both trying to prove the superiority of their own order and using the fighting to continuously refine the foreign races under their control?"
“Yes.” Angela raised her head.
"This year, the British Empire's opponent is an old acquaintance of ours, France."
"However, this time the commander-in-chief is not me, but another great man on the British Empire, Sherlock Mikkelsen."
"And the commanders of the opposing forces are your former teacher Eva, and the Dragon Queen."
