Oops, I became the witch's substitute

Fili is going to perform a ritual to summon water veins, but this land is barren and lacks earth vein magic. She needs to pay extra. How can this be exchanged for more than 200,000 silver coupons?

Lord Optimus understands, Serena also understands, but the eldest son does not understand.

Although Fili is a substitute created by fraud, her clothes are real, but this ceremony is different. Before that, she needs to wash her body and cover her body with magic.

In fact, this is the so-called offering of pure women as sacrifices in ancient rituals.

After Fili made these preparations, she changed into a white dress. If you deliberately misread it, you would think it was a pure white wedding dress: "Serena, come with me to a good place today. I surveyed the terrain before and found that there is a place near the castle that is suitable for the source of spring water. You must protect me well."

In fact, it is an ancient wedding dress, and the reason is also dedicated to the bride of the elves.

However, later generations have refuted the rumor that the elves simply like magic. They neither like women nor eat people.

Serena promised happily: "I will protect you with my life."

Fili walked slowly, bringing a fragrance from the incense burner: "Take seven days of food with you, and protect me for these seven days. No matter what happens, don't let anyone or monsters get close. Animals don't matter, even if lions, tigers, and giant bears come, it doesn't matter. Can you tell the difference?"

Serena lowered her head and thought: "Some kind of ritual to call on nature?"

Fili nodded with relief. Serena was different from her eldest son who was uneducated. She not only read books, but also read many magic books. She may not be comparable to the big family, but she has a broader vision than ordinary people.

After the two told Optimus Prime, Serena took six followers out together and came to the place they had chosen before.

This is a slope not far from the castle. It is one of the few places with green plants left. If springs are born, they will flow down and merge into the river, and will not rush into the houses.

Fili knelt on the sluggish grass, which was overgrown with weeds and withered thin green, but it was only suitable here.

Serena ordered her followers to disperse around, and she took up her sword and shield and waited in battle formation.

Soon, Fili generated a huge amount of magic power, and the clouds in the sky were pushed aside, revealing the blue sky, as if there was a visible beam of light, which fell on Fili alone under the sunlight.

Fili began to concentrate, and was extremely serious.

The magic power was successfully condensed, the ritual was guided normally, the ancient ritual was recorded in the classics without error, and each step was strictly followed. The magic power began to connect to the earth veins, and the sound of calling the elves from a farther place was emitted.

The reason why the ritual is called a ritual is that it cannot be completed overnight.

Next, it is necessary to continue to output magic power. Fili took a deep breath and recalled the results of past practice.

First, condense the magic power between the heart and lungs, expand the whole body, and blend it into the blood for reconciliation. When the magic power fills the whole body, the mind will feel calm and satisfied, and the magic power will not escape from the body. The magic power is gathered to the extreme and forms a cycle with the earth veins.

The beginning of the whole ceremony is the most important. It took Fili more than ten hours to complete this step, and even the clone "Filin" was sleeping. Oh, by the way, the hotel restaurant service is closed because Flin turned into a cat~.

Serena saw the magic power displayed by Fili, and she could only describe it in four words: amazing. To put it in a cruel way, she has already had good strength at a young age, and her magic power is one of the best among ordinary people and this territory, but she is still a magic apprentice.

At this time, the flowers and plants around Fili grew again, and the abnormal red red spider lilies formed a flower field. There were only scattered plants such as foxtail grass in the flower field. In front of Fili, the originally half-dead sapling grew into a big tree that one person could barely hug in a few hours. The tree canopy sheltered Fili, and there was no more strange phenomenon in the sky.

At this time, the residents of the entire Deset territory noticed the changes here, and the air seemed to produce moisture.

Serena was more intuitive. The Fili she saw was now shrouded in mist, hazy and mysterious. A group of birds flew over, and hedgehogs, squirrels, and silly roe deer appeared one after another.

There were even tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves that slowly came and lay gently around.

Witches, only witches are extraordinary, holy, beautiful, and desirable. At this time, Serena couldn't think of more words to describe Fili. She only thought that Fili had the appearance of flowers, the voice of birds, the spirit of the moon, and the posture of willows. When she invited to dance, her skin was as white as ice and snow, and now she was as graceful as autumn water, which made Serena feel a mysterious yearning in her heart.

Under the attention of the knights and animals, Fili stood up slowly, like a star holding the moon. She had bells in both hands, but she danced without making any sound, like a black phoenix singing——

"Water spirit~? Now you live in this song of prayer~?"

"The origin of all life~? Entangling the soul~? Accompanying us~~?"

"The grass and trees swaying in the storm~? The power of atmospheric flow~? Become the guardian of this land~?~?"

Pause, take a breath, and now the sunny sky is slowly drizzling.

Selena looked up at the sun shower, her face full of disbelief under the helmet.

The singing continued.

"The sound of reincarnation of life connects the sky of longing~? The melody of prayer will always resound~?"

"At this moment~? Weave the oath of hope here~?"

"If you are given a miracle, you will be deeply grateful~?"

"I always believe~? The destiny praised is everything...~?"

……

…………

The rain is getting heavier, and this is only the first day.

Chapter 18 Cat's Delay and the Call of the Despicable

Fili's original body was holding a ceremony to pray for the water spirit. In theory, the real Filin, now the false clone, was in a miserable state.

Not only did he turn into a cat, but he also fell into a state of high delay because of the large amount of magic power consumed and the long distance.

Fortunately, he turned into a cat and could write with his cat's claws, which explained the reason, but the operation of the hotel was still stagnant.

No, or to let Scathach take the lead now, it was simply reverse management. You can suspect that she was sent by a friendly competitor to cause trouble.

First of all, the restaurant could not be opened, and secondly, the cleaning of the hotel could not be carried out. Scathach's service attitude made the few residents give good reviews after experiencing it-

It's a good hotel, giving guests the greatest freedom. Even the hygiene is safer to clean up by themselves... safe... safe.

Yes, safe!!!

Scathach, this idiot, did not study well without Fili's support. During this period, the beans bought for his practice alone formed an expense recorded in the account book.

Is it because I am not a good enough brother? Feilin is also doubting himself.

To be honest, I have been a little bit schizophrenic during this period. This state started from the mission of expelling the Rock Dragon.

Didn’t I reflect on it when I came back? Feili and Feilin’s tone was too similar. Feilin decided to make Feili more lovely. When playing Feili, he imitated the ideal girl in his mind.

The effect was excellent.

But he was doing two things at the same time. Once because of a delay, he even said this to Scathach.

"I am also very hard~ Can't you be more considerate~?"

This directly shocked Scathach, so that Scathach was obedient for a day, and even made the silly child reflect on whether he put too much pressure on Filin.

It’s better now. Feilin was turned into a cat and cannot be relieved for the time being, so Scathach is even more lawless.

Fortunately, Scathach still has a bottom line, that is, he never went out, but still bullied Filin, often grabbing his neck or holding Filin’s cat head.

"If you want to raise a cat, raise a tabby cat. Tabby cats are really good."

Scathach developed an inexplicable interest, and in this state, she didn't object to hugging Filin.

"When will sister Fili come back..."

"Meow." It's still early.

"Today?"

"Meow." Dreaming.

"At noon?"

Filin thought for a while, and since he couldn't speak, he didn't meow.

This side turned into a cat and closed, and the ceremony of calling the elves was still going on.

Filin thought that the emperor was far away and he could relax for a while, but if nothing unexpected happened, an accident happened.

The call from the blood suddenly came, and Fili, as the main body, felt that her blood was burning all over her body. The imprint left by her father moved without authorization, and the feeling of her heart being controlled came, and she had to respond to this consciousness.

Fortunately, after years of practicing deception magic and learning to parallel consciousness, Fili did not interrupt her consciousness. Instead, she could do many things at the same time and accept the call of blood.

"Filin, it's a shame that my blood is flowing in your body. What have you been doing during this period? I don't care about the photosynthesis of the witch, nor the so-called artificial dragon stone. What I want is the information of the great witch and the research direction of the star beast over there! You should feel ashamed of your laziness."

"...I'm very sorry. Now I'm only in contact with the outer circle of the witch. It will take time to get close to the core circle, but I have already grasped the clues." The real feeling of suffocation spread due to the engraving. Fili suddenly broke out in a sweat. While suppressing the punishment brought by her father's engraving, she maintained the ceremony.

"What a fool. That's why you are still an apprentice until now. Reflect on yourself. If you can't bring news about the great witch next time, you should return to the family. At least your blood is more valuable than you."

"...Yes, I understand."

The call of the blood ended, and Flin breathed a sigh of relief. His ability to deceive also slowed down, focusing on the current ceremony.

He secretly hated that the sense of ease brought by this time disappeared because of this call, and the freedom he finally got after leaving the family received a loud slap in the face.

Even after leaving that place, he still had a dog chain around his neck to remind himself.

Family, the shackle family.

But, haha, my father is just like that.

This is the second time he emphasized the Great Witch. The so-called Great Witch is actually a witch. It is a respectful title among witches. It is a leader recognized by many witches. Maybe the strength is not the strongest, but it is indeed the most admired and revered witch.

The reason why the old man wants to investigate the Great Witch is that as a god, he has always regarded those Great Witches as competitors. Competition means fighting and fighting to prepare for obtaining the star core of the star beast.

Whether the battle can be won and whether the losses can be reduced depends on the acquisition of intelligence. If you find out the talents and magic of the Great Witch, you can gain an advantage in future battles.

There are a total of four Great Witches who are still active in the contemporary world.

The Secret Witch Hecate, the Forest Witch Dorothy, the Disaster Witch Pandora, and the Root Witch Abigail all maintain a sense of mystery and are the subjects of the family's investigation. It is preliminarily judged that they are the same as the father of the deity, and the father of the deity has always been worried that one of them will become the ruler.

Although it is vulgar to say this, I still have to explain the term.

The apprentice of magic is like building a bucket for yourself. Meditation, spiritual communication, soul quenching, perception domain, and upgrading are all indispensable. Only after reaching the extreme can you become a transcendent.

And the Transcendence is the first step of the Tao, and everyone will find their future direction at this stage.

Becoming a Transcendence is no longer a question of strength or not. This step is already the initial stage of the fight between gods. The next step is to recognize one's own Tao and be promoted to a hero.

And the real rank of Filin is a hero.

He has no doubt about his talent for deception, and is extremely skilled in deception. Even when he plays a witch for the first time, he becomes more and more skilled, and even deceives himself.

It is precisely because of his increasing proficiency in the power of Tao that Filin has the confidence to carry out the plan of "Deception Witch Fili. Muse".

Contacting witches is not to deal with them, but to make more friends.

Since the old father and the family have left him the mark of blood, he will get countermeasures from new friends.

Recalling the exchange with Optimus a few days ago, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Even if they are kings, most fathers will love their sons. While cherishing their eldest sons, they also hope that other children will survive. (The majority of the cases mentioned here are omitted.)

Dynasties change, but families are eternal. In these large families, children are used as capital for trading, even in declining families.

There is no way. When thinking of this family, Philin, who has lived two lives, has to raise his blood pressure.

But just in a trance, a concerned voice came to his ears.

"Are you okay?" As she spoke, Fili found that Serena was standing by her side, holding an umbrella for her, "I saw your expression was very painful just now."

Fili now forced a business smile: "It's okay, it's just the fluctuation of magic power, it's been resolved. How about it, do you like this rain?"

Although the elves have not appeared yet, the ritual has brought heavy rain to this territory.

The rain hit Serena's armor, making a crackling sound. She didn't care at all: "I rarely see rain in my memory. Encountering such a heavy rain is like meeting you."

"Same?"

"It's the first time, which makes people feel trustworthy and at ease."

Fili gently pushed aside the umbrella: "Then you believe me, let me continue to stand here. The water elves prefer to see the appearance of girls in the rain. That is similar to their appearance. Believe me, nothing will happen."

When the voice fell, she looked up and looked at the sky. The rain hit her face and ran down her cheeks. Such a contrast made her sad.

Serena, who had known her for less than a month, cared about her particularly.

His own family was enslaving him.

No matter how strong he was, he really wanted to cry with such a comparison. Fortunately, it rained.

This blood call broke his dream and revealed the scars that had just healed.

Serena was skeptical. After the umbrella was pushed away, she hesitated to speak. For a moment, it seemed that she had made a decision.

"According to the contract, you will solve the water problem for my territory forever. As part of the repayment, I will become your knight... So, can I protect you? Right by your side."
