"No." Wood said bitterly, "I may have read similar introductions to the kind of secret spells you mentioned when I was in school, but now I can't remember the content at all."
"What's the use of you." Murphy sighed.
"Sorry." Alex Wood looked embarrassed, "But I think someone may be able to help you."
"Oh? Who?"
"My sister, Celica Wood. She is a member of the Experimental Spell Committee and has also joined the Magic Archaeology Association. She knows a lot of spells."
"Oh?! Great! Bring her to see me!"
Murphy was worried that he didn't have enough spells. With a spell expert, even if he couldn't solve the problem this time, it would be good to learn a few more spells.
After saying that, he saw that Wood's face was a little bit wrong, "What's wrong?"
"My sister…" Alex thought for a while, stretched out his hand and nodded his head, "This is not normal."
Is the brain abnormal?
Murphy was more interested, "Do you think I'm normal?"
Alex shook his head, feeling not so good, and nodded quickly.
"Oh, normal guys are mediocre! Especially normal wizards! What's the use of them!" Murphy didn't care about Alex's bitter face at all, "Call your sister, let me see how abnormal she is!"
...
A few days later, Murphy met Celica Wood in the Supreme Potion Shop.
To Murphy's surprise, she turned out to be a beauty.
She was petite, but her breasts were quite majestic, her waist was slender, her hips were perky, and her legs were faintly visible under her short skirt.
Murphy glanced at Alex Wood who was walking beside her, "Alex, are you two siblings?"
Alex didn't understand what she meant, "Yes, sir."
"Mr. Murphy Darkholm!" Celica seemed very happy, shook off her brother, stepped forward and grasped Murphy's hand, "Are you real? Alex didn't lie to me, did you? Are you real?"
Murphy stepped back subconsciously.
If you look closely, this girl does look a bit like Alex, with the same brown hair, small round face, and a few light freckles next to the nose.
But these flaws of the Wood family are surprisingly harmonious on her sister's face, making her look very sweet.
However, is she too close?
"Do you know me?"
"Everyone knows you!" Celica's eyes seemed to be shining with stars, "Wow, so beautiful! Mr. Murphy, I'm your fan."
"Oh, okay, I don't mess with fans, don't get too close."
"Then I won't be your fan."
"Hiss..."
This woman is so scary, she dares to answer this.
"Let go, stand back, don't twist your butt!" Murphy shook Celica's hand away, "Stand there and don't move, don't come over."
"Oh." Celica stood obediently and didn't rush over again.
Murphy glanced at Alex again, and the latter nodded.
Okay, it turns out that this is abnormal.
But it doesn't matter, a girl around 20 years old, who doesn't like handsome guys, just like I like to look at beautiful women, there's nothing strange, just be obedient.
The only thing is that I'm too handsome.
"Alex said you are a member of the Experimental Spell Committee?"
"I used to be, but I have resigned. Those guys are either stupid or whimsical, and there are a few lecherous old men who stare at people's butts all day long!"
Murphy glanced subconsciously.
He felt that it was not entirely the fault of those old men. Everyone loves beauty, which is understandable.
Selica seemed to notice his gaze and twisted her body obediently.
"Ahem." Murphy retracted his gaze, his face serious, "Alex should have told you that I need a spell that can prevent the recipient from revealing secrets."
"It is best to have a gradual reminder. If you just think about it, you will not be punished or hurt in a substantial way, but if you really intend to take action, you will be affected by the effects of throat locking, petrification spell, or severe pain, which will make you disabled and prevent you from revealing secrets." Celica blinked her blue eyes, "I haven't heard of such a spell, but it seems interesting."
"Can you create such a spell?"
"Creating a spell is difficult. I have been on the Experimental Spell Committee for two years, and they have not created a decent spell."
"No?"
"It's really difficult, very difficult," Celica said pitifully, "I have only graduated for three years, how can I do it. Can I find some people to study together?"
"Sure." Murphy said, "Tell me how much funding is needed, but it must be fast. If you wait two or three years to see the spell, it will be too late."
"Then I'll try. If it doesn't work, don't be mean to me."
Murphy thought for a while, "One month. If you can come up with a feasible research plan, continue. Otherwise, get out."
"Oh." Celica looked at Murphy, "Then where do I work?"
The Spell Research Institute has not been established yet, but Murphy has rented several factories. He threw a key to Celica, "Go here. Ask Alex for other things."
Selica asked again, "Will you come here often?"
"I'll keep an eye on your progress."
After saying that, Murphy was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he found that someone was holding his clothes.
"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 lost."
"Oh."
...
In May, the Umbrella Group acquired Camelot Cosmetics Company and owned two mask factories and a comprehensive cosmetics production plant.
In June, the beauty essence made by thirty wizards, after layers of dilution, blending, mixing and packaging, became a variety of products such as mask, toner, moisturizer, eye cream, essence, primer, foundation, isolation, sunscreen, etc.
And this series of products was casually named "Venus Series" by Murphy.
In July, once the Venus series of cosmetics was launched, it caused an earthquake in the cosmetics industry. Some people said that the flourishing state of this industry was ended, but some people said that the Venus series opened a new era.
Murphy looked at the many orders flying in like snowflakes.
It seems that he is one step closer to the road to immortality.
In contrast, the research progress of the confidentiality spell is very slow.
"I gave you a month, and now it's been three months, but you haven't come up with a truly feasible plan!" Murphy stared at Celica in front of him, "What use do I have for you?"
"I'm sorry," Celica looked aggrieved, "We really tried very hard."
She said, shaking his arm, "But this topic is too difficult. We found a lot of information and tried to combine several spells. Even two colleagues were injured for this..."
"Don't be angry, okay? Otherwise, hit me twice."
As she said, she turned her back.
"..."
Looking at the round curve wrapped in the thin summer skirt, Murphy was silent for a while.
If this slap goes down, it feels like the future development will be distorted from the wizard's chronicle to the domineering boss's little wife...
But the atmosphere has been set here. If I don't slap this time, will I be worthy of the audience?
Okay, you forced me to do this.
He sat down on the sofa, "Is this your attitude of admitting your mistake?"
"Come here, kneel down, and lie on my legs."
"Pah!"
