Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 23 Bubu Nuannuan
"Wow, Bibi is so pitiful..."

In Aunt Susan's tailor shop, Bubu was sitting on a chair and crying loudly.

But without tears, the undead cannot secrete that stuff.

"You're the one who wanted to hear the story of the Dark Mage Bibi."

Jia Xiu laughed out loud.

As I was laughing, I suddenly thought that those creators who like to make mistakes in their own works might have the same mentality.

Names began to appear in Jia Xiu's mind one by one.

Could it be that when these authors were writing, they would secretly laugh out loud at the thought that the readers would be so upset and broken by seeing this plot?

"Bullying other people's children again!"

Aunt Susan slapped Jia Xiu on the head, neither too hard nor too light, interrupting his thoughts.

"First of all, it's not a child, and secondly, I'm just sharing a good story with it."

"To me, he's a good boy, and how can you call Bubu that? You're discriminating!"

"Uh, Bubu is now undead. Even when it was alive, it was a goblin. That's it."

“You are discriminatory!”

For some reason, Aunt Susan's treatment of Bubu made Jia Xiu feel as if they were related by a different generation.

"Come on, Bubu, try on new clothes."

Aunt Susan's voice was clipped when she spoke to Bubu!
She said as she pulled out a set, uh, a pile of clothes.

Aunt Susan definitely loves this job. She can sew so many sets in just a few days, and her efficiency is amazing.

Bubu climbed down from the chair. Because his legs were too short, he climbed down with his back to the chair. He first stretched out one foot, found the ground clumsily, and then landed steadily with a whoosh.

After taking off his loose old robe and big hat, Bubu looked thin and small, with his whole body covered with black shadow-like substances.

When this little thing was released, who would have thought it was a level 19 undead.

Then, the game "Bubu Nuannuan" began to be played in the small tailor shop.

"Hey, what do you think of this dress?"

"Although I'm not completely sure, I think Bubu was probably a male demon when he was alive."

"What's wrong with male fairies? Can't male fairies wear pretty little skirts? What about this dress?"

"It looks good, but it's a bit troublesome to put on and take off. Is there anything more knight-style? It wants to be a knight."

"Then this one..."

After trying on clothes for nearly an hour, Bubu finally picked out his favorite, a brown hunting suit with a very outdoor adventure temperament, paired with sturdy leather boots and leather gloves, a dark blue wool cloak, and the most iconic, wide-brimmed pointed wizard hat that was half as tall as Bubu.

Aunt Susan even used the leftover leather scraps from making gloves and boots to sew a sword belt for Bubu, which even came with a scabbard and a sword.

And that's Bubu's favorite part.

Although it doesn't use a sword, according to its own account, the victory over the instructor in the training ground as described in the nursery rhyme was achieved by relying on its high agility and swinging its sword randomly, which was a purely high-value victory.

But that doesn't stop it from wanting a sword.

Jia Xiu originally planned to give the knight sword given by Emilia to Bubu to play with, but the sword was taller than Bubu, not including the hilt.

"Auntie, where did you get such a short sword?"

"Sword? Oh, no, that's the big pair of scissors I use to cut cloth. They broke a while ago, and I wanted to get them repaired, but I found that half a pair of scissors is just right for Bubu."

"Boss, what should I name my sword?"

Although it is only half a pair of scissors, Bubu still can't let it go.

"Um... Sting or Needle?"

"Since it's made of scissors, just call it cutting," suggested Aunt Susan.

"I second the motion." Jia Xiu expressed his approval.

Just as Bubu was excitedly playing with his "cutting" sword.

"Ding Dong!"

The bell hanging on the door of the tailor shop rang.

"welcome."

"Your Highness Emilia."

Aunt Susan thought it was a guest, but Jia Xiu called out the guest's name directly.

"Your Highness?"

Upon hearing Jia Xiu's address, Aunt Susan hurriedly tried to curtsy. "No need for formalities, I'm here to see Jia Xiu."

"Find me?"

Jia Xiu didn't know what the princess was going to do next. Ever since the last casual enthronement, Jia Xiu had a very bad impression of this princess, who did whatever she wanted.

But one thing is for sure, being knighted did play a big role in getting Bubu to sign the contract.

So Jia Xiu still respects her.

"You're looking for me?"

"Reward, you did a great job dealing with the Undead Bubu. You resolved the potential crisis with almost no damage."

The word "almost" is pronounced very clearly.

"For this, I have decided to reward you with a magic wand."

He raised his hand and the guard behind him handed him the wand.

【Blessed Wand (Rare)】

[When using all healing spells, gain enhanced effects and increased casting distance]

A wand that perfectly matches Jashu's current fighting style.

But Jia Xiu's focus was not on the wand.

It was Emilia's words.

From what she said, she knew everything that had happened recently, including Bubu, the cultists, and the summoning ritual.

In other words, she already knew that the altar was real when she came here for a trip last time.

But he said nothing and still wanted to confer the title on himself.

Jia Xiu crossed out his evaluation of Emilia as "not good enough" in his mind and changed it to "white and black".

The royal family is not simple at all.

Looking at this magic wand again, it feels a little hot.

Even a clueless person should be able to see that the princess is trying to recruit him, but Jia Xiu is not interested in the royal family of the Iris Kingdom, the succession election and other messy matters. Being associated with the royal family may bring a lot of trouble.

He is a pure researcher.

Well, maybe it’s not that pure, but the general goal is still research.

But if you don't want it.

The princess gave you a magic wand, but you refused it. What does that mean?
As if noting Jia Xiu's hesitation, Emilia spoke directly, "This is not a personal gift from me, but a reward for saving Riverwood Town. As a gifted sorcerer, I hope you will always stay true to your original intention and continue to move forward on the path of pursuing the truth of magic."

What wasn't said directly was that if Jia Xiu didn't want to participate in the royal competition and just wanted to be a scholar, that was totally fine, as long as he didn't participate in any future competition.

If you want to be neutral, you must be absolutely neutral, not just superficially neutral.

"Thank you for your reward."

Jia Xiu took the wand and saluted.

His Highness has said so, it would be very rude not to accept it.

"Goodbye. I heard you're going to St. Peter's College. I wish you good results."

After saying that, Emilia left the tailor shop.

Although it was a blessing, Jia Xiu always felt that the princess' tone was a little angry.

What do you mean?
Is it because I didn't take sides?

Not like.

Looking at Emilia's back as she left, the golden hair seemed to have become shorter.

It’s gotten shorter!
Could this be hair that has grown back?

Jia Xiu sweatdropped. Would this white-skinned black man hold a grudge? He looked like he might.

Aunt Susan, who was standing by, didn't understand the hidden meaning of the princess' words at all.

In her opinion, Jia Xiu has great potential.

As soon as Amelia left, Aunt Susan screamed.

"Wow! I need to get dressed quickly."

"Auntie, where are you going?"

"Of course I'm going to dress up and go see my sister! Oh, and by the way, go to the portrait shop and have a picture taken of you holding this wand. We still have one window that hasn't been painted yet..."
