Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Magic Pool (Extra for ‘Dancing in Retreat’!)
Before the bar, Tang Qi gazed at the two glasses of Extraordinary Drinks in front of him—today’s “surprise.”
One glass, just as its na suggests, contained bright red liquid, but at the top, flas burned. Oddly, no taste or heat emanated from it, as if the burning beverage wasn’t real, rely a decoration.
The other glass was even stranger; within the silver-white liquid, sothing seed alive, causing the liquid to bubble with a “gurgle~ gurgle,” and if one listened carefully, a sound akin to the cry of a small animal could be heard.
For the sake of surprise, Tang Qi did not use his Special Ability to check the information and recipe this ti.
Nevertheless, it was clear that the second glass, “Unicorn’s Blood,” was not actually made using the blood of the Legendary Creature, the Unicorn.
Perhaps in this world, there exist strong individuals or organizations capable of capturing a unicorn and drawing its blood. But certainly not a bartender in sser City; even if blood was drawn, it would be unthinkable to use it in crafting drinks, a waste beyond words.
Pulling back his wandering thoughts, Tang Qi lightly smiled and reached directly for the Fla Red Wine.
Savoy’s reminder echoed in his mind, the wine is best when the flas have just burned out.
“Huuh”
The warm sensation of the fresh red liquid entering Tang Qi’s mouth and flowing down.
Instantly, Tang Qi felt a familiar sensation, akin to when practicing the ditation thod, warmth spread throughout his body, various Negative States rapidly dissipating, his physique rejuvenating from inside out.
Clearly, this was the effect of the “Fla Red Wine.”
As the warmth began to fade, Tang Qi hastily lifted the “Unicorn’s Blood” to his lips and gulped it down.
“Boom!”
As the chilly, sweet, yet slightly bitter liquid passed his throat, an experience he had never felt before suddenly overwheld his mind.
Tang Qi felt as though all bindings had been lost; under the hazy purple moonlight, he ran through a beautiful forest, the gentle wind brushing past, blending the fragrant scents of earth and fresh grass, nature’s harmony and raw wildness…
Just as he was about to be imrsed, from the depths of the forest, amidst the darkness, a mournful cry sounded.
Within that cry was an intense sorrow, capable of affecting any living being.
Tang Qi didn’t suppress it intentionally so inevitably, deep sorrow appeared in his eyes.
Correspondingly, there was a slight increase in his spiritual power.
After a mont, the effects subsided, and Tang Qi reopened his eyes.
His first glance fell on the bit of remaining liquid in the glass, enough for Tang Qi to glean so Information Fragnts.
[Curios: Unicorn’s Blood, an Extraordinary Wine crafted by the bartender Savoy, it starts with a specially made whiskey base, mixed with Elf Grass Juice, Moon Stone, bitter syrup, and tears secreted by a particular Extraordinary Creature… Consuming it can remove most Negative States and increase spiritual power, but the process involves overwhelming sorrow.]
“Tears?”
Tang Qi shifted his gaze, wisely choosing not to inquire about the so-called Extraordinary Creature from Savoy.
Instead, he simply praised, “Mr. Savoy, you will make an excellent bartender in the future.”
Tang Qi’s complint wasn’t re politeness. Although he had not encountered other bartenders serving Tran…
…scendents at the Extraordinary Market, the previous glass of “Moon Stealer” and the just-tasted “Unicorn’s Blood” showcased Savoy’s formidable Talent in this field.
As Savoy, waving his six arms, heard Tang Qi’s praise, a hearty laugh erged from beneath his bronze mask.
In the entire bar, perhaps even the entire market, perhaps only he knew of Tang Qi’s “Second Body,” but he had not revealed it to anyone.
“If I have brought you satisfaction, I’m thrilled. Please, allow
to treat you tonight. Whatever else you may desire, just say the word, and Savoy can handle it.”
…
Ultimately, Tang Qi did not order a third drink, but agreed with Savoy that the next ti he visits the bar, a new drink nu would definitely be available.
Before leaving the market, Tang Qi quickly took another walk and bought so “Dark Food” for the little guy.
After getting off the Ghost Carriage and leaving the abandoned estate, Tang Qi switched back to his original form at the edge of the forest and quickly returned to his brick and stone building.
He tossed a bag of food to the Night Beast that pounced towards him, then after a mont’s rest, he went into his own bedroom.
Checking the ti, he took out a One-way Iron Plate from within his clothes.
It was ti for teaching again.
Actually, after the last teaching session, besides so knowledge from the Mysterious Side, Tang Qi had not much else to teach in terms of witchcraft.
Although Tang Qi had mastered a large number of witchcrafts and Sally could easily learn them if she wanted to,
Tang Qi did not plan to do so. Apart from the highly suitable “Word Spirit Spell,” Tang Qi had no intention of teaching Sally any other witchcraft for the ti being.
This was understandable; Sally had other paths more suited to her, and it was not appropriate for Tang Qi to intervene too early.
Quickly, after Tang Qi handed the remaining Word Spirit Spells to Sally, their “teaching content” turned into a conversation of glances and words.
Indeed, it was different from using the One-way Iron Plate with soone else.
The sa Curios, when in Sally’s hands, could be used to communicate with Tang Qi.
The process was extrely simple.
Powering it with Magic, and then a gentle phrase “I want to talk to Tang Qi,” and it was done.
Although it was a One-way Iron Plate, under Sally’s “Word Spirit Spell,” it was forcibly twisted into another kind of Curios.
But as soon as Sally’s Magic Power was exhausted, everything returned to normal.
Even so, it was still astonishing.
Because the iron plate had acquired a function similar but more convenient than the telephone, it was the first ti Sally experienced what is known as “boiling the phone porridge,” utterly ignoring the rapid consumption of Magic, holding the iron plate and excitedly chatting with Tang Qi.
Tang Qi could feel the girl’s excitent and, having nothing else to do, went along with it, while continuing to instill so knowledge from the Mysterious Side to the girl.
Nearly an hour had passed, and Sally’s extractable Magic was reaching its limit.
Tang Qi felt as if he could see the Misfortune Witch’s secondary personality roaring inside the Sealing Space.
The main and secondary personalities shared a single “Magic Pool”; originally it was the secondary personality dominating, but after Tang Qi intervened, Sally as the main personality started Cultivation, everything changed, and the Magic in the Magic Pool was almost entirely drawn by Sally.
Another person’s pain, was my joy.
Tang Qi silently muttered this afterward, planning to say goodbye to Sally and conclude this teaching session.
But just at that mont, as if recalling sothing, Sally hesitated and still passed a thought through the iron plate.
“Tang Qi, I feel like sothing weird is going on with mom recently, is sothing about to happen?”
“Hmm?”
Just as he was about to remove the iron plate, Tang Qi suddenly paused at her words.
