Chapter 006: The Pet Shop of Dawarishi
Jiang Han was brought to a cage, which was a somewhat vintage iron cage, inside of which was an animal that appeared to be a large eagle
She cursed again, casually took out her wand, paused for two or three seconds before reciting a spell, and waved the wand to cast a faint gray light over the eagle that was collapsed in the cage. The eagle stood up in a daze, becoming much more docile. The shop assistant then satisfactorily closed the door of the iron cage, looked at the astonished Jiang Han, and introduced with a nonchalant expression:
"Dawarihi!" She asked Jiang Zhengling in Mandarin with a strange accent and a heavy rolled 'r', "What type of pet do you want to buy? Our store has imports from different regions, including Poland, Ukraine, and the Great Mother... but we do not have any from America"
Jiang Han curiously looked around, following her younger sister as they turned left and right, eventually arriving at a rather large square. The ground of the square was paved with bread bricks. Jiang Han was unaware of how bread bricks were used in this world, but in her original world, this type of cement bread brick was the same as that used in the Red Square of the Soviet Union. In the 1980s, whenever there was talk of building squares or parks in the country, designers would blindly reference the Soviet style for their constructions.
Make it a little smaller. Jiang Han remembered the words that Jiang Zhenling had advised her.
She was uncertain whether it was an eagle, as it had three pairs of wings, a slightly ice-blue pattern on its beak, and a faint blue light emanating from its golden eagle eyes. Its temperament was fierce. Upon noticing Jiang Han staring at it for a while, it flapped its wings and struck the iron railing, while a light icy wave radiated from it, causing the air in the shop to cool several degrees.
Look, how eloquent she is. While others have a smaller total amount of magic, she can relate it to 'a preference for precise control over blue', truly a talent for sales.
Sister, behaving like this will not help you find a wife... Jiang Han muttered to himself.
This is the instrument I brought from my hometown, and all the standards are based on Soviet standards. The results also need to be converted into Chinese... the shop assistant said while typing.
Jiang Han understood; this was saying that she had a good talent, close to that of the great witch. "So am I not healthy? Your expressions..."
The shop assistant curiously replied: "Comrade, this is the art of the Transfiguration School, which is generally a subject that all witch students choose to take."
The elegant Slavic female shop assistant smiled and asked, "Comrade, do you prefer larger pets or smaller ones"
In this world, it should be referred to as 'The floating islands are all modeled after Soviet designs'
I am wondering whether it was Ye's mother who had an affair or Jiang's mother. Otherwise, there wouldn't be this possibility... 18,000, our three generations combined might not even reach that amount
Uncertain about the classification of schools and spell levels mentioned by the shop assistant, Jiang Han maintained a compliant nod, responding with murmurs and smiles, occasionally tilting her head to feign understanding. She appeared like a good student who did not grasp what the math teacher was explaining, her eyes revealing a thirst for knowledge and a desire to survive
Seeing this well-spoken Davareshi, who appeared quite open yet was adept at controlling his curiosity, Jiang Han subtly expressed her questions while touring various strange animals with the staff, learning quietly in the process. The staff member answered what he knew and remained silent on what he did not, behaving much like a wealthy returnee who supports a mistress, being both gentle and talkative, occasionally interspersing a couple of Soviet jokes that made Jiang Han cover her mouth in laughter
The shop assistant let out a classic Russian curse, directly opened the iron cage, and swung her fist down hard onto the eagle's head, producing a sound that mixed a thud with a crack, as if something had shattered
Seeing her only partially understand common knowledge, the shop assistant took her hand and made a suggestion: "Dear comrade, how about I help you with a physical examination to see what your total magical capacity is? This way, I can better assist you in finding a suitable pet"
Most importantly, it uses magic very cautiously, being extremely economical, making it suitable for witches who prefer precise control over their magical power
Jiang Han watched as his younger sister walked over and hugged the shop assistant, saying, "Comrade, I am here to buy a pet for my sister"
It is nothing, just that your total magical power... the preliminary calculation is at 18,400 gallons, infinitely close to the minimum standard line of the Great Witch
Jiang Han curiously asked: "Were you just using healing magic?"
After all, there are often people who forget their total amount, so our store will also keep such tools on hand. The staff member displayed a warm and enthusiastic smile: "Moreover, it is only close to being illegal; as long as the sampler is not installed, it is legal.
The gaze was filled with confusion and questions
After the staff member finished reading, they looked at Comrade Jiang Zhenling with a peculiar expression
What are you talking about!
The clerk input several parameters into the machine, and Jiang Han felt as if she had suddenly been placed in a bath, the sensation of her body being enveloped by water was extraordinarily wonderful
Yebaqi, Puluta
An uncountable problem has been resolved.
Well, below 145 lun is classified as a weak witch. In terms of your calculations, that would mean below 300 gong lun is a weak witch, below 900 gong lun is a witch, and below 1500 gong lun is a strong witch... Oh, I forgot, your country does not have other classifications. Generally, above 20000 gong lun is considered a great witch in your country
No, no, no
The Caucasian Falcon, a fierce bird of prey, is not only capable of delivering messages but can also hunt enemies like a skilled assassin. Its sturdy ice shield can withstand rounds from a .45 caliber rifle, and when equipped with a fully automatic rifle from its homeland, it can even endure one to two magazines. It can even learn simple spells from the Water Flow School, mastering protective spells of up to level 3 and other spells of level 2 at most.
It is like this, dear comrade, would you like to look at it yourself, or shall I introduce it to you?
Jiang Han listened and felt that this machine was somewhat akin to the helicopter transactions of a previous life; when the weapons were removed, it transformed into a humanitarian rescue helicopter, and after being sold, the weapons could be reattached, turning it back into an armed helicopter.
Jiang Han patiently waited, and as soon as the results were out, Comrade Jiang Zhengling took a look first, furrowing her brows as she read a few numbers. As she continued to read, she suddenly looked at Jiang Han with the gaze of a philosopher.
"You are very healthy, but your development is a bit advanced..." The Slavic shop assistant secretly glanced at Jiang Han's chest and murmured, repeating, 'advanced development.' Then, in a very professional manner, he said: 'The development period of a witch is divided into three stages. From 0 to 18 years old is the end of the first development period. From 26 to 36 years old marks the beginning and end of the second development period. The last development period occurs only in some witches, from 46 to 50 years old. Magical power grows rapidly only during the development periods; at other times, growth is very slow. Therefore, the vast majority of great witches become great witches around the age of 30. It is rare for someone like you to be close to the standard line right after the first development period ends.'
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, it brought an abundance of high-end scientific and technological talent to New China, along with the urgently needed technical personnel in heavy industry. Therefore, the architectural style in the country during this period bears a certain Soviet lineage.
"Could you introduce it to me?" After Jiang Han finished speaking, the staff member immediately took action and walked over to her side.
That gaze, as deep as if it were that of a cross-eyed person
Jiang Han quickly dispelled her younger sister's disrespectful thoughts
However, Comrade Jiang Zhengling's words were rather chilling
Suka !
Because I did not understand, I asked the young lady outside the store, and only after she agreed did I proceed with a physical examination
Jiang Han sighed softly and then saw her younger sister walk into a shop located next to the square. Jiang Han followed her in and noticed a foreign sales assistant with light golden hair and blue eyes standing beside her sister. She was wearing a set of beige-gray uniform, a short skirt, and long boots, looking less like a waitress or shop assistant and more like a soldier heading to the battlefield. She stood very straight, with a warm smile.
"Isn't the Soviet Union measuring magic with Lun?" Jiang Zhengling asked
It was as if a switch had been flipped on the computer; both the younger sister and the shop assistant seemed to wake up simultaneously, staring at each other for half a second. Seeing that Jiang Zhengling had no intention of speaking, the shop assistant took the lead and said:
The expressions, gestures, and gazes of these two women are quite frightening, and Jiang Han quietly asked, "Is there a problem?"
Jiang Han sat down on a chair in the inner room of the shop, beside a rudimentary machine made of gears and copper wires that stood two people high
Jiang Han noticed that this Soviet sorceress comrade was very delicate in appearance, tall, with blonde hair and blue eyes, almost meeting all the requirements his sister had for a future wife... However, he did not see his sister being very attentive to her. Comrade Jiang Zhengling was nibbling on a half-eaten cotton candy, standing at the store entrance looking at the scenery, as if she were a steel straight woman, not joining in the fun.
The pet street does not have any unpleasant odors; it seems that the witches, especially in such places, are increasingly determined to improve the environment
Jiang Zhengling, who followed in, glanced around the shop and suddenly spoke: "You even have an elemental analyzer? And two liquid magic extractors to boot, comrade, this is almost illegal."
