Chapter 38: How about you hit me twice

"No." Wood looked bitter. "The kind of confidentiality spell you mentioned, I might have seen a similar introduction when I was in school, but now I can't remember the content at all."

"What use are you." Murphy sighed.

"I'm sorry." Alex Wood looked very embarrassed. "However, I think there is someone who might be able to help you."

"Oh? Who?"

"My sister, Selica Wood. She is a member of the Experimental Spell Committee and has also joined the Magic Archaeology Association, knowing many spells."

"Oh?! Very good! Bring her to see me!"

Murphy was worried that his spell accumulation was not enough. Having a spell expert, even if she couldn't solve this problem, it would be good to learn a few more spells.

After saying that, seeing Wood's face was a bit wrong, "What's wrong?"

"My sister, she..." Alex thought for a moment and reached out to point to his head. "It's not quite normal here."

Head not normal?

Murphy was even more interested. "Do you think I'm normal?"

Alex shook his head, felt it was not quite right, and hurriedly nodded.

"Heh, normal guys are all mediocre! Especially normal wizards! What use are they!" Murphy completely ignored Alex's bitter face. "Call your sister over and let me see how abnormal she really is!"

A few days later, Murphy met that Selica Wood at the Supreme Potion shop.

Contrary to Murphy's expectation, she was actually a beauty.

She was petite, but her chest was quite majestic, her waist was slender, her buttocks were firm and perky, and a pair of fleshy legs were looming under her short skirt.

Murphy glanced at Alex Wood walking beside her again. "Alex, are you two biological siblings?"

Alex didn't understand what he meant. "Yes, sir."

"Mr. Murphy Darkholm!" Selica seemed very happy, threw off her own younger brother, stepped forward, and grabbed Murphy's hand. "Are you the real person? Alex didn't lie to me, right? Are you real?"

Murphy subconsciously stepped back a little.

Looking closely, this girl did look a bit like Alex; they both had the same tea-colored hair, a small round face, and a few light freckles beside her nose.

But these defects of the Wood family were unexpectedly harmonious on his sister's face, making her look very sweet.

However, was she standing too close?

"You know me?"

"Everyone knows you!" Selica's two eyes seemed to be shining with stars. "Wow, so good-looking! Mr. Murphy, I'm your fan."

"Oh, fine, I don't fuck fans, don't stand too close."

"Then I won't be your fan."

"Hiss..."

This woman is terrifying; she even dared to take this line.

"Let go, stand back, don't twist your ass!" Murphy shook off Selica's hand. "Stand there and don't move, don't come over."

"Oh." Selica stood obediently and didn't pounce over again.

Murphy glanced at Alex again, and the latter nodded.

Well, it turns out it's this kind of abnormal.

But it doesn't matter; a girl around twenty, who doesn't like handsome guys, just like he likes to look at beauties, nothing strange, just be obedient.

Blame it on being too handsome.

"Alex said you are a member of the Experimental Spell Committee?"

"I used to be, but I've already resigned. Those guys are either stupid as hell, or whimsical, and there are a few lecherous old men who stare at people's butts all day!"

Murphy subconsciously glanced.

He felt that this was not entirely the fault of those old men; love of beauty is common to all, which is understandable.

Selica seemed to notice his gaze and twisted obediently.

"Cough." Murphy withdrew his gaze, his face serious. "Alex should have told you, I need a spell that can prevent the subject from revealing secrets."

"It's best to have progressive reminders. If you just think about it, you won't suffer substantial punishment and harm, but if you really intend to take action, you will suffer the effects of Tongue-Locking, Throat-Sealing, Petrification Spell, or feel severe pain, making you incapacitated, thereby preventing you from revealing secrets."

Selica blinked her blue eyes. "I haven't heard of such a spell, but it seems interesting."

"Can you create such a spell?"

"Creating spells is very difficult. I stayed in the Experimental Spell Committee for two years, and they didn't create a decent spell."

"Can't?"

"It's really very difficult, very very difficult," Selica looked pitiful. "I've only graduated for three years, how can I do it? Can I find some people to study together?"

"Yes." Murphy said. "Tell me directly how much funding you need, but you must be fast. If you wait two or three years to see the spell, the day lily will be cold."

"Then I'll try. If it doesn't succeed, you can't be fierce to me."

Murphy thought for a moment. "One month. If you can come up with a feasible research plan, continue, otherwise get out."

"Oh." Selica looked at Murphy. "Then where do I work?"

The Spell Research Institute had not been established yet, but Murphy had already rented a few factory buildings. He threw a key to Selica. "Go here. Ask Alex for other things."

Selica asked again: "Will you come over often?"

"I will pay attention to your progress."

After saying that, Murphy intended to leave, but just as he turned around, he found his clothes corner being pulled.

"Anything else?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"..." Murphy was speechless for a moment.

What's wrong with this woman? I'm talking to you about work, what are you thinking about?

"Get out."

"Oh."

In May, Umbrella Group fully acquired Camelot Cosmetics Company, owning its two mask factories and one comprehensive cosmetics production plant.

In June, through the beauty essence liquid produced by thirty wizards, after layers of dilution, blending, mixing, and packaging, it became various products such as masks, toner, moisturizing lotion, eye cream, essence, makeup primer, foundation, isolation, and sunscreen.

And this series of products was casually named "Venus Series" by Murphy.

In July, the Venus series of cosmetics triggered an earthquake in the cosmetics industry as soon as it was listed. Some people said that the state of blooming in this industry was ended, but others said that the Venus series opened a brand new era.

Murphy looked at the many orders flying in like snowflakes.

It seems that he is one step closer to that path of immortality.

In contrast, the research progress of the confidentiality spell was very slow.

"I gave you a month, and now it's been three months, but you haven't been able to come up with a truly feasible plan!" Murphy glared at Selica in front of him. "What use are you?"

"I'm sorry," Selica looked aggrieved. "We really have tried very hard."

She said, shaking his arm. "But this topic is too difficult. We found many, many materials, trying to fuse several spells together, and even two colleagues were injured because of this..."

"Don't be angry, okay? How about you hit me twice."

Saying that, she turned her back.

"..."

Looking at the rounded curve wrapped in the light short skirt of summer, Murphy was silent for a moment.

If this slap goes down, I feel that the future development will be distorted from the wizard's biography to the domineering president's little wife...

But damn, the atmosphere has been set up to this point. If I don't hit this slap, am I worthy of the audience?

Fine, you forced me.

He sat on the sofa. "Is this your attitude of admitting mistakes?"

"Come here, kneel down, lie on my lap."

"Smack!"
