Why Did You Summon Me? Chapter 47

Chapter 47: If Only He’s Mine

After hearing Undine’s reply, Baiyi knew that he had managed to make Undine feel slightly distressed. According to rchant’s suggestion, Baiyi should deliberately make the situation unnerving for her so that he could get a higher reward later. The only thing is... Is it really okay to trick your own descendant like that?

“No problem! It’s a natural for the descendants to help their ancestors! Well, it’s just that right now I can’t show my identity yet so this is the only way!” The rchant replied confidently.

Alright, I’m sold... Turning back to Undine, Baiyi continued, “It’s a good thing that his consciousness still remains in his arm! This ans that we’re got ti for the repair. However, hmm... The process might be a little troubleso...”

A look of joy appeared on Undine’s face imdiately as she quickly said happily, “Feel free to speak your mind, Master Hope! When the repair is done, the Dole family will be forever indebted to you!”

Although her uncle was a little unreliable but he was still one of the backbones of the Northern Wasteland Reclaming Unit. If the arm could be repaired and reattached, it would definitely be a great help to their family. Not only was Undine’s words filled with sincerity but it seed to hint at sothing else as well.

“Alright then,” Baiyi nodded his head and gestured for the black Soul Armature whose na was Leo to co over. After casting a simple Earth-style Mud Wall to lift the iron felt that was by his feet to the right height, he motioned for the black Soul Armature to put his elbow on it.

As Undine and Leo were standing quite close to Baiyi, he purposely showed them the Magical Formations that apeared on his wrist when he cast the spell. Even though the speed was fast and seed effortless— surpassing most sorcerers— but it was still not as good as Sven the Rogue Knight. Needless to say, Baiyi would never give himself away so easily.

“First of all, we’ll need to prepare enough Mana Restoration Potion,” Baiyi announced.

“We’ve already prepared that,” Undine replied and she instantly directed the coachman who was standing outside to hand over a Storage Pouch. Holding the pouch upside down, she spilled a pile of blue-colored Mana Restoration Potions and so other high-grade Mana Crystals on to a table nearby.

Why do you two fighters always bring this around with you? You’re like those potion-selling NPCs! Does Dole family actually run a pharmacy or sothing?

“Well, erm... Actually, our family started off as the channel’s distributor for these drugs. However, we have always been a decent distributor, definitely not like Amway or Nuskin, those kind of MLM companies.” The rchant quickly explained.

I haven’t even said anything yet and you’ve already rushed forward to explain yourself? Hmmm... Looks like there must be a history of selling fake dicines sowhere! Baiyi mused inwardly as he continued to announce out loud, “I also need another sorcerer’s help. Miss Tisdale?” Having said that, he glanced towards Tisdale. After completing her task as an interdiary, that girl did not imdiately leave but instead she chose to remain there and at that ti, she was playing with the kitty coin bank that Baiyi placed on the table with a gleeful look on her face. With a fond expression on her face as well, she reached out to stroke the kitty’s whiskers with her fingers.

What the hell is she doing? Why does her taste sohow seems similar to Mia’s? Ah, don’t tell she likes little animals as well?

When she heard her na being called, Tisdale was flustered as she hurriedly put the coin bank back on the table in a flash. Returning to his side in a few hops, she queried, “Yes Mr. Hope? Can I do anything for you?”

Um... Didn’t you call Master Hope just now? Why did you suddenly change the title now? Wow this girl really gets friendly with everyone she ets, eh? Baiyi thought to himself. “Do you know the Grade Two spell, Icebeam?

“Oh yes! I do!” Nodding her head, Tisdale bead.

“Great. Then you’ll be casting the spell, right here!” Baiyi once again grabbed the severed arm using Mage’s Grip and put it by the side of the iron felt. “I’ll give you the trajectory point and instruction later. You MUST do it precisely according to my instruction!”

As he was speaking, a faint red miniature formation was slowly forming in front of his left index finger, emitting a tiny firebeam that fell on the point where the arm was cut off.

“Use icebeam NOW!” He suddenly ordered.

“Oh okay~!” Tisdale nodded her head as a series of runes could be seen slowly appearing on her wrist. Then, followed by the infusion of her Mana, the runes slowly turned light blue— a color that represented ice. Instantly, a beam shot out from her index finger, focusing on the sa point as Baiyi’s firebeam.

Although her casting speed was not fast but there was no incantation at all when she cast the spell.Considering her Advanced level power, it was actually pretty good. Baiyi secretly assessed Tisdale’s innate aptitude and got a rough understanding on the level of those gold collar-pins students. Although she was much stronger than Mia, to him, it was only at an acceptable level.

After all, among all of the sorcerers in the group of Voidwalkers, the least powerful person, the Sorcerer, was already two tis more powerful than her when he was about her age. Then again, those people were abnormal monsters so it was a little unfair to compare her to them

Baiyi put a halt to his irrelevant thoughts as he began to slowly move his finger along the open wound. At the sa ti, he instructed Tisdale, “Follow my trajectory. The black gold is a very special material, especially it’s energy absorption feature. Even though this allows it to have a tough powerful defense attribute but it also poses a problem when it cos to repairing it. In order to overco this problem, we will have to take full advantage of the weakness of this black gold by constantly changing the temperature to weaken its energy absorption ability.”

Using the tone that he usually used during Mia’s lesson, he appeared to be like a real teacher. His statent also prompted Undine to nod her head secretly. That was exactly how that stinky bastard managed to cut off her uncle’s arm.

As Tisdale listened to Baiyi’s guidance in silence, she quickly controlled the rhythm of the icebeam to keep up with him. Not long after, beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead, the beam started to shake slightly as well. The speed and the control of the trajectory slowly began to slow down.

I guess it can’t be helped. She’s only a student after all. Continuously releasing this kind of magic will not deplete a lot of Mana but it can be very taxing on one’s Psychic Energy

Then again, she did last longer than I thought she would... Pleased, Baiyi nodded his head inwardly. Imdiately, he reached out with his idle hand and grabbed on to Tisdale’s wrist that was shooting out the Icebeam. “You only have to focus on releasing your Mana, let do the rest.” Having said that, he divided a small part of his Psychic Energy and infused it gently into Tisdale’s Mana, guiding the trajectory of her icebeam, just like how a teacher would do in class.

“I-I’m sorry, Mr. Hope...” In a small voice, Tisdale apologized. Undine who was sitting next to them imdiately stood up and took out a piece of silk handkerchief to help wipe the sweat on Tisdale’s forehead away. She quickly unscrewed a Mana Restoration Potion and shoved it unto Tisdale’s mouth.

“Urghh... S-Sister Undine.. I don’t need... Urghhh... T-That’s bitter...” Tisdale mumbled as she scrunched her face up. Well, her Mana was still sufficient so naturally, she refused to drink such a poor-tasting potion.

“Ah? Oh gosh, I’m sorry Tisdale! I’ll go search in the carriage to see if there’s an orange-flavored one.” Having said that, Undine imdiately rushed out of the door.

Huh? There’s even orange-flavored ones? No wonder the color of the Chi Restoration Potions last ti were a little different than usual This girl even adds in flavoring to the potions to make it easy for herself to drink? Baiyi was absolutely taken aback.

Soon after, Undine ca running back with several bottles of potions of different colors in her arms. As she stepped into the door, she imdiately said, “I’m sorry Tisdale, but I’ve already finished the orange-flavored ones last ti when I felt thirsty. Umm... I only have the strawberry and milk flavoured ones. Are you okay with that? Oh? Wait a minute... There’s another apple-flavored one here. Do you want to have a taste?”

Is this girl crazy? There must be sothing wrong with her right? That’s not a freaking F&N or COCA-COLA! ”

“Well, the Dole family has always been very user-oriented, especially when it cos to potion flavoring! This is our main weapon in beating all other competitors! When I was still alive, there was only three different flavors that was developed! I never expect we’d have so many flavors by now. Ha Ha Ha! Seems like my descendants have been working quite hard. I’m so proud of them!” The rchant cackled proudly.

Why do I feel like sohow you guys are working in the wrong direction? No wonder she keeps drinking those potions! I think the reason behind it must be because she likes drinking these sort of sour and sweet things, right? Baiyi thought as he glanced towards Undine who was shoving a bottle of green-colored Mannoroth’s Blood... oh wait a minute... a peppermint-flavored potion into Tisdale’s mouth while saying, “Hurry! Try this new flavor that was just developed last month! You will feel a sense of coolness on your tongue after you drink it. This is so much better than those poor quality peppermint-flavored juice in the market.”

Oi, Miss Undine! If you keep going on like this, your image of sexiness will drop and you will head to Moe direction instead you know!

Poor Tisdale was actually not paying much attention to the taste of those ‘soft drinks’. Instead, a hint of red blush could be seen slowly creeping up on her face and the reason was no other than Baiyi. In order to have a better control over her Mana, his hand had already covered her whole fist, enveloping that small hand in the ox-leathered gloves. Even though the feeling of the cold, rough gloves was a little unpleasant, she could still feel a slight hint of warmth.

Mainly because in the process of guiding her to release her Mana bit by bit, it actually reminded her of her first teacher when she was still a kid— the feeling she had when her father first taught her magic. Unfortunately, after she’d grown up, she never got to experience such a heartfelt mont again...

For a mont, Tisdale even wished that the repairing process would last longer. It would be even better if Sister Undine was not by the side disrupting the mont...

Sure enough, Mia was right. Mr Hope is indeed gentle, his knowledge is wide as well... How I wish I can beco his student too.... A funny idea suddenly popped into Tisdale’s mind.
