house witch

Chapter 12 12. Familiar and True Name

"Grandpa Odell, are you sure this is my sister's staff?"

After the two sisters looked at the little black milk cat that was still sleeping soundly in the palm of the old man, with cute snot bubbles on the tip of its pink nose, the impatient Alice was the first to ask questions.

After all, although there are many strangely shaped wands in this world, no matter how you think about it, a cat-like wand is too outrageous. How can this be used to cast spells? Do you always shake the cat's tail around?

Thinking of her sister waving with a cat in her hand every time in the future, Alice shuddered.

This is too weird, the picture is too beautiful, she dare not think about it.

But Dorothy herself didn't mind much, she curiously reached out and took the little black kitten from the old man's hand.

As soon as she took it in, an inexplicable sense of intimacy surged into her heart, which made the movements of her hands softer. She stretched out her fingers and gently stroked the fur of the little milk cat, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. Make a slight arc.

This is a very beautiful kitten, with golden tiger stripes on the pitch-black fur, especially the little king character on the forehead, which does not show any domineering, but looks tiger-headed and tiger-headed, very cute.

Xu Shi was woken up by her teasing, the little guy's snot from the tip of his nose exploded, and then opened those golden vertical pupils.

"Aww~~meow"

She first looked around vigilantly, and let out a "super fierce" roar that she didn't know how to evaluate, but soon the little guy noticed Dorothy who was holding her, and immediately felt relieved look.

She stood up unsteadily on Dorothy's palm, then rubbed her head against the palm, and finally hugged Dorothy's teasing finger cheerfully, because of her small size, To the little guy, this slender finger is like a sea-fixing needle, a little too thick.

Dorothy was also amused by the cute gesture, and was just about to pull out her finger to tease her again, but before she could move, she saw the little guy open his mouth.

"Crack."

There was a sound of something breaking, and Dorothy didn't feel anything after being bitten. The biting little guy was already tearing up from the pain, but he still stubbornly refused to let go.

Dorothy: "."

This little thing doesn't seem very smart.

She turned her head to look at the old shopkeeper, wanting to ask what was going on.

There was no need for her to ask questions, the old man spoke up by himself.

"This is the psychic staff. After just changing the body, this little guy's spirituality has greatly increased, and he has successfully transformed into the form of the spirit race. She recognized Miss Dorothy as her master. This is to get some Your blood makes a contract with you."

The old man smiled and said, but looked at the seemingly white and weak fingers of the guest in front of him in surprise.

"You are really a powerful witch. Although this little guy looks young and weak, it is actually as strong as the soul-cultivating wood used for the body of the staff. This is a very strong wood, far better than ordinary steel. Alloy, it can't break the defense, you should take the initiative to give her a drop of blood."

Ah this
Dorothy was a little embarrassed when she heard the words. With a thought, the invisible scales on the outer layer of her body dissipated, and then a drop of scalding blood exuding amazing heat was forced out of her body.

Seeing this, the little milk cat didn't think it was too hot, so he happily let go of his mouth with loose teeth, ran over and stretched out his pink tongue to lick the drop of blood.

Then, under the little guy, a gorgeous pentagram magic circle unfolded, and the next moment, Dorothy could clearly feel that there was a little more connection between her and the little guy, and she could clearly feel that at this moment The little guy was happy, admiring, and attached with a hint of aggrieved emotions.

"Isn't this a familiar contract?"

As a full-time student master, Dorothy easily recognized the origin of the flashing magic circle just now, and she looked at the old shopkeeper with some doubts.

"Well, the psychic wand is a real living being. Naturally, we can no longer use the certification contract for dead objects. They are actually more like familiars, and the familiar contract is more suitable for them."

The old man explained patiently.

Hearing such an explanation, Dorothy was stunned.

Familiar, this is also a very important part of the combat power of witches. Excellent witches will always have a group of familiars with different functions. They will be the most loyal and useful partners of witches.

It's just that excellent familiars are usually quite hard to find, they can be encountered but not sought after, and the first familiar usually has some special meanings for witches, they will invest more affection, after all, everything is always The first time is relatively impressive.

Therefore, Dorothy, who is still quite picky about this aspect, has not contracted a familiar so far.

As a small city on the [-]th tier, Haiyue Floating Island is still a bit rural. The familiar shops in the city only sell some of the most common and low-end familiars, and there are not many precious varieties. Checked it out in the academy store.

But now there is no need to worry, the little guy in her hand is now not only her magic staff, but also her first familiar.

"Give her a name now, Miss Dorothy, and call her name, so you can actually see your new staff."

The old shopkeeper urged.

And this made Dorothy a little tangled, she is actually not very good at naming.

In her previous life, she also raised some cats and dogs, but the names were often chosen randomly, the white ones were called Xiaobai, and the black ones were called Xiaohei.

But now that the little guy in his hand is his first familiar, he can no longer be so casual.

After all, in this magical world of fantasy, names often contain powerful power. It is a very serious matter to name someone, especially one's familiar.

The first name of any creature in this world is called its real name, and the person receiving the name usually shares part of the power of the namer, but at the same time, it is also bound by the real name.

The real name is both a blessing and a bondage. Therefore, it is the basic common sense in this world to protect your real name from being known by outsiders.

Since the real name is so important, it is natural to be cautious. This name usually contains the blessing of the namer, and some names will even affect the fate of the name to a certain extent. If the little guy took Xiao Hei's real name, maybe this precious psychic staff would be useless.

"Tsk, if you can't be called Xiao Hei, what should you call it? Let me think about it. Is there any nice cat name in my previous life, and it's better to have a special blessing meaning."

Dorothy lowered her head in thought, and after a long time, she raised her head in surprise.

She has already thought of a name, and there is probably nothing more suitable as a cat name than this one.

It's just that she didn't mean to say it directly. After all, the real name needs to be kept secret. It's better that no third person except the namer and the nameee know it.

Fortunately, one person and one cat have already signed the contract. Dorothy closed her eyes and told the little guy's real name along the connection of the familiar contract.

"I bestow upon you the name Sekhmet Mutt Vajeet Buster in the name of your master Dorothy******, so show me your strength, Bass special."

In telepathy, just as Dorothy finished speaking, she remembered a piercing meow, but the meow gradually became majestic, and soon turned into a tiger-like roar.

"Meow~hou~"

When Dorothy opened her eyes again, she was holding a fine and gorgeous staff in her hand.
