Chapter 61 | Fear Not, Witch — A Player Is Here to Rescue You

The table of contents neatly arranged over three hundred spells by element, with each spell marked with its difficulty level and recommended learning stage.

Wu Yao only wanted to find a few spells suitable for travel. She quickly located the wind element section, her finger sliding rapidly across the page before stopping on two adjacent spells.

【Lightweight Spell

Difficulty: Beginner

Effect: Envelops the body in wind elements to reduce weight, increasing movement speed and jump height. Duration and weight reduction are affected by mana.】

Wu Yao carefully studied the spell structure on that page. Unlike offensive spells, the spell structure for the Lightweight Spell was constructed on one's own body.

Following the spell structure, she guided the wind elements to flow through her limbs. The pale green points of light clung to her skin like a thin veil, seeping into her muscles and bones.

She felt her body becoming noticeably lighter. With a gentle hop, she cleared the mill's perimeter wall.

The impact on her knees upon landing was also significantly reduced; she felt as light as a drifting leaf.

【Spell structure constructed successfully!】

【Spell: Lightweight Spell】

【Effect: Envelops the body in wind elements, reducing body weight by 40%, increasing movement speed by 30%, and jump height by 50%. Duration: 15 minutes.】

【Mana Cost: 15】

【Casting Time: 1 second】

The second spell, 【Wind Wings】, formed wings of wind behind the caster's back, greatly increasing movement speed. When paired with the Lightweight Spell, its effects were multiplied.

This spell structure was much more complex than the Lightweight Spell. The main difficulty lay in arranging the runes to mimic the curve of spreading wings, making it hard for her to construct symmetrical runes.

Fortunately, they didn't need to be absolutely identical. Through minor adjustments, she finally managed to replicate the structure, guiding the wind elements to condense into a pair of invisible wings on her back.

Although it couldn't make her fly, when she took a step, the wind wings behind her would naturally flap, pushing her body forward to glide a greater distance.

Wu Yao tried taking a few running steps, and then she shot forward like an arrow released from a bowstring.

“This is amazing—!”

The sound of the wind rushed past her ears, and the scenery on both sides blurred into a smear of afterimages. She almost crashed headfirst into a tree trunk, only managing to steady herself after a frantic course correction.

Wu Yao laughed out loud as she ran at high speed, her laughter torn apart by the wind, trailing behind her in a series of broken fragments.

The wind joyfully pushed her back and supported the soles of her feet, rushing ahead to pave the path for her and whispering in her ears the songs that only circulated among the elements.

Once she got used to it, she began to stack the Lightweight Spell and Wind Wings.

The dual layers of wind elements intertwined around her. One layer clung to her skin to reduce her weight, while the other flapped behind her back to propel her forward. Her speed surged once again, so fast that a system prompt popped up:

【Movement speed has reached 500% of the current Agility limit.】

At her current speed, she could return to her territory in about half an hour!

Praise the wind element!

Upon entering the Moonlight Forest, she intentionally chose a different, unexplored route. In the distance, the purified Moon-Silver Wood trees had already sprouted silvery-white buds, looking like stars fallen into the forest from afar.

She didn't stop. As she swept past at high speed, she continuously threw compressed waterballs toward the tree canopies. Once they left her control, the waterballs burst open, turning into localized rain showers.

Like a rain deity, she brought rain all along her path.

The territory shield glowed faintly ahead, like an inverted transparent shell.

The Moon-Silver Wood trees around the shield showed even more obvious changes. The first batch to be purified had already grown complete leaves.

A soft silver glow flowed across the surface of the crescent-like leaves. When the breeze brushed past, they made a delicate rustling sound, as if welcoming the witch's return.

The interior of the territory was no different from when she left, except for a large, obvious hole in one of the earth walls—likely damaged by a corrupted creature. Wu Yao casually directed the earth elements to patch it up.

Returning to the cabin, Wu Yao took out all the items Benita had bought for her from her Inventory and warehouse.

A hand-woven tapestry featured a rust-red background embroidered with patterns of wheat ears and the moon. The stitches were fine and neat, and the edges were adorned with a border of hand-woven tassels.

Wu Yao had never seen such craftsmanship before. The moment she laid eyes on it, she had insisted on buying it.

Now, it hung on the wall directly opposite the entrance, allowing her to appreciate it immediately every time she returned.

Next were several small clay lamps. Their designs were very simple. Having grown accustomed to identical, mass-produced items, Wu Yao found herself preferring this coarse, handmade texture instead.

The lamp oil inside was mixed with the soothing herbs Benita had prepared for her. She placed one lamp each by her bedside, on her Workbench, and on the windowsill.

The Moon-Silver Wood Bed, which had drifted around with her, finally returned to its original spot. It was now fitted with the bedding Benita had bought for her, no longer just bare, shabby wooden planks.

In addition to these, there was a flower crown that Phelin had woven for her using flowers and straw.

Although the girl had tried her best to make it neat, some flower stems still poked out.

Pale yellow, light purple, pinkish-white, light blue... various colors intertwined and dotted the crown. Wu Yao ultimately placed it at the head of her bed, making it the most colorful corner of the room.

There were also various ornaments she had personally handpicked and bought. Wu Yao used some Moon-Silver Wood to craft several cabinets on the spot to store her treasures.

Wu Yao had never personally decorated a space like this before. After finishing, she couldn't help but curve her lips into a smile. It felt like she had set up her own home, which was a very novel experience.

Having tidied up the house, Wu Yao hummed a tune as she walked toward the Farmland.

This time she came prepared. She pulled out the Compendium of Common Elven Spells from her Inventory and flipped to the entry for the 【Sprouting】 spell.

【Effect: Uses the wood element to stimulate the vital force within seeds, causing them to sprout prematurely.】

Wu Yao tilled the soil once again.

The potato and sweet potato chunks had already rotted, emitting a sour, putrid odor. She casually burned them to ashes with fire.

All evidence of failure had to be completely destroyed.

Then, she placed the seeds Benita had bought in her hand. Following the rune structure illustrated in the book, she used her Mental Strength to guide the wood elements, weaving a simple spell structure in her palm.

The emerald-green points of light obediently merged into the runes, eventually forming a translucent, light green sphere of light.

The seeds were enveloped within, and gradually, tiny, tender white root tips began to emerge.

【Sprouting cast successfully!】

Wu Yao quickly buried the sprouted seeds into the Farmland, gently covering them with a layer of soil, careful not to pack it too tightly.

【Congratulations! You have mastered the Planting (Lv. 1) skill!】

The skill that had failed to unlock despite so much effort last time had finally appeared. Satisfied, Wu Yao cast a rain spell to help the seeds grow healthily.
