"It is indeed a talent to be able to use magic, but it should not be the standard for classifying people. In fact, the practice of classifying people based on their ability to use magic itself is problematic." - One of my insights on magic.

It's terrifying to have sharp objects approaching your body, especially when you don't know what kind of damage they might cause. Fortunately, that strange tool didn't pierce my skin, it just stuck onto it.

The clear blue liquid in the glass tube started rising. Oh, is this the proof of magic? It seems that I am also capable of using magic. Ha, I knew I must have some hidden abilities or something. Maybe I'm a one in a thousand, a one in ten thousand magic genius, and I'll learn all sorts of super magic and become the top mage of the Southern Plains. Just thinking about it is exciting.

Indeed, mages are the chosen ones.

But before I could boast, my wife and grandmother sighed.

"Ah..."

"Uh, what's wrong? Isn't it good?"

"For a normal human, it should be like this."

Grandma Bonafelli pointed to the scale on the glass tube. The scale showed the number one, but my liquid column only rose to about 0.7. In other words, I'm not even as good as a normal human...

But still, it's a one in a thousand, a one in ten thousand.

"Well, it's okay, I still have my gun."

Half-jokingly, I patted the handgun on my waist.

"If you always want to attack others, guns are indeed better than magic."

Grandma Bonafelli responded with the same half-joking tone.

"Why not make it for my wife..."

"She can't use this, she needs a different kind of stone."

As she spoke, Grandma took out a cloth bag from a shelf filled with various strange items. When she opened it, there was an inconspicuous stone inside. It looked a bit like granite from the outside, with a slightly pinkish color.

"Hold it."

Grandma's eyes were like a snake tempting Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.

"Like this?"

My wife made a grabbing gesture, and after getting confirmation, her five slender fingers closed around the stone like a cage. At the moment her fingers touched the stone, a dazzling light appeared.

This scene felt familiar. Yes, it was exactly the same as when Leya grabbed that blue gem!

"Grandma Bonafelli, wait a moment, I have something!"

I ran out and found that mysterious gem pendant from my luggage. I knew one day it might come in handy.

When I placed the gem pendant on the table, Grandma stood up from her chair. Her aging body seemed to be magnetically attracted to it, leaning towards the pendant slowly.

"How did you... get this?"

"Well..."

I gestured to my wife to explain in detail, as I didn't think those five people had anything to do with these witches.

"This... belongs to the kingdom..."

The same introduction as Leya. Could it be that things from the kingdom are all so powerful? Based on the structure of this pendant, as long as I give Park a gem, he could replicate an identical one.

"Grandma Bonafelli, what is this... exactly?"

"How should I say it... sigh, just see for yourself."

Giving up on explaining, Grandma Bonafelli slapped her head in resignation. Then she took the pendant into her hand. However, there was one slight difference this time - there was a metal chain attached to the pendant, and Grandma Bonafelli wrapped it around her middle finger. After a series of incantations, the pendant flickered and emitted a stable light.

The closer the pendant was to Medusa, the stronger the light became, and vice versa. The effective range was approximately ten meters. This confirmed my earlier speculation - this pendant is a tool that can sense magical creatures. Grandma Bonafelli explained the function of the pendant while talking about what "belonging to the kingdom" actually meant.

Magic tools produced by the Kingdom of Inslay can only be used by humans, and specifically humans who can use magic. This pendant is one of them. In other words, magical creatures like Medusa or Succubi can only make it glow, but they can't use it the same way humans can, let alone someone like me who has magic power inferior to even a normal human.

"Ah..."

"Ah..."I sighed, feeling helpless, and both my wife and mother-in-law sighed as well.

Why are you two sighing? Don't you know that every sigh means happiness slips away? How unfortunate you both are...

"Grandma, you can have this. It's for you."

Although this gem pendant is beautiful and probably worth a lot of money, since both my wife and I can't use it, it's better to give it to someone who can, as Park taught me. Besides, I don't really like keeping this thing. It always reminds me of the gruesome deaths of those five people.

"Really? Can I?"

"Hmm, it's alright. You can have it."

"We... don't have anything to give you in return..."

"Haha, it's okay, really. My wife and I can't use it anyway."

My mother-in-law happily accepted the gem pendant, and there was a hint of reluctance in my wife's eyes, but considering the current situation, it was necessary to give it as a gift. Since we were definitely going to stay in this witch's house for a few days, we had to show our gratitude, and it was also a matter of reciprocity for my mother-in-law, who had freely shared so much with us.

Time passed quickly, and the window was now covered in the golden rays of the setting sun. The magical class, which felt like a book of spells, had finally come to an end. Walking out of the cottage with my wife, we were greeted with a serene and peaceful view painted by the busy witches. It wouldn't be bad to live in a village like this. In the past, I wasted so much time on my phone. How ridiculous. Life shouldn't be locked inside that palm-sized electronic device. It was lucky to have come to this world, where there were so many beautiful sights waiting to be discovered in every step.

"It's beautiful here."

"Do you think so?"

"Yes, I've never seen anything like this before."

"Hehe, what about me?"

"You are beautiful, of course. Or should I say, the world becomes beautiful when I'm with you."

Leaning against each other, my wife and I quietly enjoyed the sunset, and the word "romantic" melted in our eyes.

"Grandma Bonar, where will we be staying tonight?"

"Well... let me think."

My mother-in-law put a whole bag of mushrooms on the ground, raised her eyebrows, and pointed to a large tree.

Grandma, you're not joking with me, are you?

How am I supposed to go up to that treehouse? Not to mention my wife, how will she go up there?

Although I had seen the treehouse before, I never expected that we would actually be staying there. Firstly, I have a fear of heights, but fortunately, the treehouse was built on the lowest branch, and I could overcome the two-story height. Secondly, my wife definitely wouldn't climb a tree. Medusa and snakes are different after all.

"Grandma Bonar, could you... take us to see it?"

"No problem."

Following my mother-in-law to the side of the big tree, there were clearly man-made footholds on the trunk. We had to use both hands and feet to climb up to the treehouse. This spelled death for Medusa, who couldn't even go up the stairs. As for me, I could handle it. However, that treehouse was indeed unique and aroused my curiosity.

"Ah, I'm sure it's very interesting up there!"

My wife was very excited, probably because she had never stayed in such a high place before.

"Wife, can you... go up?"

"Don't you have me? Husband~"

She hugged my neck from behind, and I understood what she meant. I had to carry her up...

"Wife, when did you eat?"

"What are you talking about, husband?"

"Alright, alright, I get it, I get it."

Today, Dr. Chen Laowu was going to prove another proposition - whether humans can carry a Medusa up to a two-story height.

After dinner, we had mushroom soup made from mushrooms we didn't know the names of, with leftover giraffe neck meat. The witches could fill their bellies with just some soup, but my wife and I had much larger appetites. However, we didn't dare to barbecue meat, considering that we were guests and wanted to leave a civilized gentleman's impression.

After dinner, it was time for physical labor. Since we thought there might not be enough bedding in the room, my wife wrapped herself in a woolen blanket. I don't know where I found the courage to climb up. The last time I climbed a wall was in middle school, and the last time I climbed a tree was in high school. I hoped I could successfully climb a tree with a weight of 150 pounds this time."Wife, be sure not to move."

"Okay~"

Granny Bonari, if we fall, make sure to catch us with magic!

After praying to all the gods like Buddha, God, and the Virgin Mary, I had my wife wrap her tail around my waist and stepped onto the first hole on the tree trunk...
