Chapter 10 Cleaner

This magic is very powerful!

As a modern man, after Xiao En mastered the new supernatural power, the first thing he did was to test how strong this ability was.

"No need to chant a spell, just a simple action to activate it."

"The arm's radius of motion is about three meters."

"Its flexibility is about the same as that of an average human arm, and it can perform most common tasks."

Writing and drawing.

Xiao En controlled the Mystic Hand to lift the table in front of him. The weight was about 50 kilograms, which was close to the limit of the Mystic Hand. Even if he were to lift this weight, it would be quite strenuous. It would definitely be difficult to do it with one hand.

"This is only a first-level spell."

Xiao En stood still, a dinner knife floated in front of him, and then stabbed straight into the bookshelf in front of him at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, the dinner knife was nailed into it.

He walked straight to the desk as if he had found a new toy, and then the chair next to it was automatically moved up and placed behind him.

"It's so convenient!" Xiao En couldn't help but exclaim.

The quill on the desk floated up out of thin air, and then a piece of white paper was spread out. The quill was dipped in a little ink and began to write on it. He thought to himself, "Within a three-meter radius, it is like having an extra hand. It can be used to do many things, even fight."

"A hand that is invisible to the naked eye can do so many things."

This spell does not consume much energy for Sean, and he can even maintain it for a long time if he wants, as long as he stays focused.

"Yes. Focus."

"Lady Hecate said that concentration is the first element for a spellcaster. Casting any spell requires concentration."

This is the first self-protection ability that Xiao En has mastered so far.

In the knowledge of the flow of original magic, Sean has mastered a total of three first-level spells. In fact, this ability is more of a supernatural ability than a spell, because they are very different from the spellcasting that Sean knows.

"The Touch of Undeath can paralyze the target's body the moment it comes into contact with the enemy."

“But it requires close contact.”

"Emotion detection can sense the target's emotional fluctuations and know the other party's strongest emotion at the moment."

"So for now, only the Hand of Mysticism is the best way for me to protect myself."

Time passes unconsciously.

When Xiao En came to his senses, he found that the butcher had been standing outside the door without knowing when, and he didn't know how long he had been staring at him.

"You've completed your promotion." The butcher looked a little surprised.

--surprise.

Sean detected the other person's emotions and fed them directly into his brain, as if he himself was surprised.

During this moment of distraction, the quill pen floating beside Xiao En fell to the ground, and the invisible hand that was invisible to the naked eye gradually disappeared.

The butcher shrugged and said, "It seems you need to learn how to stay focused and fight and cast spells."

"Let's go."

"It's time for dinner."

Today's dinner was quite sumptuous, as there were secret roasted lamb chops. The slight smell of lamb was very obvious. Although the butcher was still serving a completely vegetarian diet, Sean couldn't stand it anymore. He moved slightly, wanting to see if there was anything strange.

"You can eat it."

The butcher lowered his head and concentrated on cutting the bread in front of him with his knife and fork. The bread was a bit hard. He said slowly, "It's a lamb from the Dolan area."

“Very delicious.”

“Made by a dedicated chef with secret barbecue sauce and seasoning.”

"I am a vegetarian because of my job and I don't like meat."

Xiao En picked up the knife and fork, cut off a piece, put it in his mouth to taste it. It was a bit juicy, very tender and smooth, with a fragrant aroma that stimulated his taste buds. He couldn't help but take another big bite.

"Because Ms. Hecate agreed to teach you, your meals from now on will be arranged according to the standards of a wizard apprentice." The butcher continued to concentrate on eating without raising his head. "The kitchen is in the room on the right side of the corridor on the first floor. You can go and tell them if you need anything."

"There are relatively few living people here, so fresh ingredients need to be prepared in advance."

"If you're not used to it, you can make it yourself."

"Hmm." The butcher looked at Xiao En who put down his knife and fork, thought for a moment and said, "The cook is a living person. You can eat with confidence."

Xiao En was stunned for a moment and said silently in his heart, I don’t eat people.

When dinner was over, the maid took away the tableware.

The butcher took out his silver wine bottle again, poured himself a glass, looked up at Xiao En, and then started drinking.

"Since you have advanced to the level of a transcendent."

"Then you can find another job here." The butcher took a sip and said, "The salary will be higher this way."

"When I return to the real world in the future, I will have more money on hand."

Xiao En couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this, and whispered, "Can I still go back?"

"Of course." The butcher smiled and said, "You don't think we will imprison you here, do you?"

"But it's difficult for souls from other worlds to integrate into ordinary people's society."

“You have no sense of identity here.”

"So at first we will arrange a job for you. Don't worry, it's not a dangerous job."

"Once you're through the probation period, you can basically arrange your life as you please."

Is there such a good thing?

Xiao En looked a little skeptical and asked, "You are also a soul from another world."

"Yeah." The butcher nodded and said, "But I grew up here and lived here for nearly fifty years. I am different from you. I have my own anchor in this world."

"You are actually different from other alien souls."

"I know someone who used to be an angel from a country called Heaven Mountain. She has always wanted to return to her hometown." Xiao En was a little moved when he heard this, and asked carefully, "Can we still go back?"

The butcher shook his head and said, "No. It's very difficult."

"This is a distant land, a forgotten universe."

Can not go back.

The butcher stood up, patted Xiao En on the shoulder and said, "You can't stay here for too long. The gray fog will corrode everyone."

"You only have three months to learn."

Three months?
This means that in three months, I will be sent back to the Kingdom of Dorne in my memory?

"Come with me." The butcher stood up and said, "Adapt to your new job in advance. You also need to learn how to fight and how to protect yourself."

“Many people’s first job after returning to reality is as an investigator.”

"It's not that dangerous, but it's still hard to avoid fighting. You still have a lot to learn."

investigator?
Is this the kind of job you imagined?

Xiao En stood up. He had begun to slowly adapt to this place. Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it and just survive first.

Outside the monastery.

The butcher took Xiao En through this huge cemetery. There were countless tombstones here, but most of them had no names. He said as he walked: "Most of the normal creatures in the weird country are extinct."

"High walls can keep out many evil things, but some small things can still pop out."

"Your new job is cleaner."

The butcher pointed forward, and after climbing up the slope, Xiao En looked down. Soon he felt his scalp tingling because he saw many deformed insects.

They look a bit like deformed millipedes, slightly bloated, about thirty centimeters long, the size of a fist, and some are even larger. At this moment, they are gnawing on all the plants nearby like a group of bloodthirsty locusts.

Xiao En couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

The butcher put down the heavy box he was carrying, opened it, and answered, "Soul Worm."

“It can be considered a specialty of the cemetery area.”

"The ones with human faces on their heads are more valuable, the others are just fertilizer."

"What weapons do you prefer?"

boom.

In the box that the butcher opened, Sean saw all kinds of weapons, knives, guns, sticks, daggers, swords, and some strange and exotic weapons. In the corner of the box, Sean also saw a pistol, and his breathing suddenly quickened.

The butcher picked up the revolver. The small pistol looked like a toy in his palm. He asked, "Can you use this?"

"McCarter revolver, standard equipment of the Kingdom Guard."

"But there aren't that many bullets here."

The butcher threw the pistol to Sean in front of him.

Xiao En reached out to take the pistol, turned the cylinder, six cylinders, and said softly: "No. But I have seen it before."

The butcher nodded and said, "Then keep it."

"But this thing isn't very useful against evil things."

That's because you don't have enough firepower.

Xiao En is very clear about the power of modern thermal weapons, and all fear comes from insufficient firepower.

"Kill them all?" he inquired.

The butcher nodded: "These things will eat everything. If left alone, they will damage the environment."

"They pop up very quickly and need to be cleaned up regularly."

clear.

Xiao En looked at the box in front of him, picked up a long sword, waved it for a while, and then changed to a long knife, which was easier to use. He asked cautiously, "Are they difficult to deal with?"

The butcher shook his head and said, "It's not difficult, just don't get bitten."

It's really not difficult to deal with.

These worms were rather clumsy and had no idea of ​​Sean's approach until he cut one of them in half with a knife. Then the other worms started to swarm over him in fright.

"Too many!" Sean began to back away.

A soul worm with a human face on its head suddenly pounced on him from the side. Xiao En's eyes moved, and while he swung his knife to kill the worm in front of him, a dark invisible hand extended from his back.

The soul worm's body suddenly froze in mid-air, then it caved in and was squeezed to the point of bursting.

"I don't have any combat experience, but I learn quickly." The butcher said to the empty space nearby.

At this time, Sean had already distanced himself from these worms. He found that if he got too close, he would probably get hurt. These worms had very sharp mouthparts and could even chew through rocks.

Three meters is a safe distance.

The invisible mystical hand picked up the long sword, and Xiao En focused on dodging and running.

From an outsider's perspective, one could only see Xiao En constantly dodging those insects, while a long sword floating in the air was constantly killing them.

The butcher stood far away on the hillside and said to the empty space beside him: "It should be no problem to be an ordinary investigator."

boom!
A soul worm that was obviously a little different pounced on him. It was faster, and a painful old man's face grew on its hideous head. Xiao En drew his gun and shot without hesitation. At a distance of less than two meters, he hit the worm's head directly and blasted the painful human face into pieces.

"This thing is still useful!" Xiao En raised his pistol and couldn't help but sigh.

He thought of a picture from his previous life, of Harry Potter.

The Invisible Hand possesses strength close to that of an adult male, and if he were given a few more guns, his firepower alone would be formidable.

Compared with cold weapons, Xiao En undoubtedly prefers hot weapons.
