So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests

Chapter 202: The Contaminated Left Leg

"Hello, Mr. Jarvis." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

"Hello to you too, Miss Janna."

Hearing the way the other person addressed her, Janna also confirmed her suspicion.

"I happen to be going to see Director David as well. Miss Janna, would you do me the honor of accompanying me?"

"Of course, I don’t mind."

With a swift change to her social smile, Janna naturally didn’t decline Jarvis Roland’s invitation.

"Then let’s go."

After whispering a few words into Emily’s ear, Jarvis Roland leaned on a red lacquered cane and walked toward the door.

"This is an old ailment. I hope you won’t mind."

Seeing Jarvis Roland’s slightly limping left leg, Janna didn’t show any expression on her face, but she was somewhat puzzled inside.

After all, with Jarvis Roland’s financial power, even a broken arm or leg could be healed in this extraordinary world. Let alone something as minor as a limp.

The temperature in Watermarsh City was about sixteen or seventeen degrees Celsius, so even the breeze was warm and humid. This made Janna, who was still wearing a wool scarf, feel slightly hot.

"Miss Janna, how do you find Watermarsh City compared to Turin City?"

After walking some distance, Jarvis Roland was the first to strike up a conversation.

"Compared to Turin, I prefer the climate in Watermarsh City."

"Indeed. I’ve also been to Turin before. This should be the coldest time of the year over there."

From the topic of weather, the conversation drifted to the customs and culture of the two cities, their cuisines, and even personal preferences in opera styles... As their discussion grew deeper, Janna found that Jarvis Roland was truly a very talkative and humorous person.

Eventually, their conversation naturally turned to Jarvis Roland’s left leg, which had been like this for several years.

"There should be many white wizards skilled in healing at Floating Island Forest Academy. Haven’t you consulted any of them, Mr. Jarvis?"

"Of course I have. You could say I’ve seen nearly everyone I could. I even had someone help me replace the leg—only, the pollution caused by the distortion had already taken root. The fact that I can still walk now is already a stroke of luck—"

As they talked, the two had arrived at the hotel reserved by Vinnie for the Nightingale Opera Troupe.

"Miss Janna, I’ll take my leave now. See you tonight."

"Goodbye, Mr. Jarvis."

Watching Jarvis Roland’s limping back as he left, Janna’s pupils were suddenly dyed silver-white. "As I thought, it’s Darksun Contamination—And it’s already deeply entrenched."

With Janna’s nightly meditations on Aden Divine Mountain and her deepening comprehension of the Law of Purification, her control over the power of the Fragment of the Law of Purification had become increasingly fluent.

So, with just a glance, Janna—highly sensitive to Darksun Contamination—easily saw through the condition of Jarvis Roland’s left leg bone, which was already "rotted to the bone," by applying the power of the Fragment of the Law of Purification.

"But fortunately, the contamination is entirely sealed within the left leg. For now, there’s no sign of spreading—Otherwise, with this level of contamination, Jarvis would’ve already undergone distortion."

Just as Jarvis Roland had said, his left leg had indeed been replaced with the thigh of a supernatural creature highly similar to a human’s. Otherwise, with the fragile flesh of a human, he could never have withstood such long-term erosion.

And for Jarvis Roland to completely cure himself, there were only two ways.

First, to find a wizard who mastered the Law of Purification to perform a purification of the contamination; second, to seek out the Witch Cult or purchase a top-tier purification potion at a high price in Florence for treatment.

But both of these methods were rather unrealistic for someone like Jarvis Roland, who was merely a Second Tier Wizard Apprentice.

After all, Jarvis Roland could only be considered wealthy within a gathering place of Third Tier Wizards. But the assets he currently possessed weren’t enough to make him a peerless figure in the entire wizard world.

Whether it was finding a wizard who mastered the Law of Purification or hiring someone to make the connections and issue a high-level potion request to the Witch Cult or Florence, either way required social capital.

"On the road to the pinnacle of wizardry, aside from talent, wealth, and knowledge, resource exchange and maintaining interpersonal connections are equally important—"

Gazing at the figure of Jarvis Roland, now completely out of sight, a faint and inscrutable emotion flashed across Janna’s eyes.

Only after a long while did Janna withdraw her gaze and head toward her room, guided by the room number on her key.

Since most of the staff of the Nightingale Opera Troupe had arrived in Watermarsh City a day early, they had already completed the basic tuning of the lights and sound equipment at the Otter Opera House before Janna and the others arrived.

So, the schedule for the evening mainly consisted of a preliminary rehearsal by the main cast, including Janna, to familiarize themselves with the stage and get a feel for the Otter Opera House.

Therefore, they didn’t work overtime for too long. After finishing the preparations, the group—under arrangements made by Jarvis Roland and several business representatives from the Otter Opera House—enjoyed a tasting of the local cuisine.

It was during this process that Janna learned the performance at the Otter Opera House was scheduled to take place alongside the evening auction at Watermarsh Auction House.

This was an integrated commercial model devised by Jarvis Roland.

Not only could it draw traffic to the Watermarsh Auction House, but it also helped build anticipation for the auction items and attract new customers.

Thus, under this tightly packed arrangement, the first tour of "Song of the Ocean"—which was also Janna’s debut performance in Watermarsh City—officially premiered at 5 p.m. the following afternoon at the Otter Opera House.

"Dear audience members, good evening! I’m your host tonight, Julie Anne. This evening, under the direction of David Berg, actors Janna Roland, Shuka Berg, Liji Silks, and others will perform—"

"The debut tour of 'Song of the Ocean' here at the Otter Opera House. For everyone’s enjoyment, please remain quiet during the performance. Thank you for your cooperation..."

"Janna, I suddenly feel really nervous—"

Listening to Julie Anne’s introduction before the curtain, Liji Silks, who was participating in her first tour, suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken.

"Relax. This isn’t our first performance."

Unlike the others who were more or less nervous, Janna, already thoroughly familiar with the performance of "Song of the Ocean," felt no nervousness at all.

Instead, her mind was fully occupied with the auction ceremony scheduled for that evening.

"Besides, I’ve heard that audiences in Watermarsh City are more fond of comedies and romance dramas, so our story might not necessarily be to their taste—"
