Oops, I became the witch's substitute

"Time, time is running out..."

Filin just approached a door when he heard a voice coming from inside. He peeked in from outside and saw an alchemist standing next to the huge wreckage. Judging from the breath, this was the broken limb of an ancient star beast. There were instruments filled with various liquids around it. It seemed that the broken limb was activated through existing technology and given new power.

But there were some devices that suppressed the torn parts of the broken limbs and prevented the real rebirth of the star beast. Some large and small tubes were connected from the broken limbs of the star beast to the medical cabin not far away. The old alchemist lay in with the help of his disciples and started various instruments for experiments.

Filin felt a chill in his heart. This was really not afraid of death. Star beasts were still too dangerous for this world. People tried every means to eliminate star beasts and take their flesh, flesh and bones to make weapons to hunt more star beasts. The alchemists here were good. They were planning to become star beasts every minute.

Filin looked at these instruments. They extracted blood cells from the wreckage, reorganized and regenerated, and injected them into the old alchemist's body. This was a desperate fight.

Flin felt a deep fear about the smell of the experiment, then shook his head and immediately covered the workshop with the field of deception. Those ordinary alchemists quickly fell unconscious. Just as Flin was about to attack the old alchemist in the medical cabin, the powerful magic barrier blocked his attack and it was difficult to break it for a while.

Alchemists have many ways to protect themselves. Since they can't attack the real owner, Flin turned around and destroyed the surrounding instruments, smashed many equipment, and let the liquid leak out. Then he inserted the dagger into the wall and found many pipelines. He destroyed them one by one, then found the core magic device, pulled out the lines inside and cut them off, erased all the markings and labels, and then quickly left.

This investigation ends here for the time being. With the power of deception, Flin quickly retreated back and found Carol to leave together.

On the way back, Carol noticed that Filin looked embarrassed: "What did you find?"

"I found a lot of dangerous things, and I feel a little confused." Filin thought for a moment, "What is the purpose of alchemy research? I think it should be to bring people a better life, so that ordinary people can also enjoy the benefits of magic. Ordinary villagers can use light tools to make fire and cook smoothly, and make refrigerators to make food easier to store, etc."

In fact, this question is not difficult to understand. In the past, the science and technology of some countries made infrastructure construction beneficial to the country and the people to explore the universe, while some countries spent a lot of money on virus research. Bereda just happened to be the latter.

Carol held Filin's hand: "Don't worry, I'm here. You help me complete the golden circuit, and I will create the wonderful ideas in your mind."

The two returned to Xia Duoli's mansion. Because he was thinking, Filin didn't notice that a unique carriage appeared outside the mansion today.

Filin had just walked in when Belinda came to meet him from the front.

"Filin..."

Belinda's eyes fell on Carol holding Filin's hand without saying the name.

Chapter 235 The Thoughts of the Sky-Falling Girl Belinda

Belinda frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy. She and Filin were engaged, and the ceremony had already been held. How could a normal person be happy to see her fiancé holding hands with another woman? Belinda paused for a moment after calling Filin's name, stopped, closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, the magic eye had already opened.

Is this a fighting stance? Filin and Carol also let go of each other in an instant and communicated through words.

Carol felt inexplicably guilty and tangled. Some things that were supposed to happen still happened: "Ah, your fiancée?"

Filin was slow: "Yes."

Carol shocked Feilin in the spiritual realm: "Do you like her?"

Filin's head tilted, and then returned to normal: "I don't hate her."

Carol exclaimed, in a dull tone: "Noble families are really troublesome, political marriage? If you don't hate it, you just accept it."

Filin said awkwardly: "Yes."

The expected storm did not come. Belinda was a real rich lady. She slowly came to Feilin and straightened his collar.

Belinda looked at Carol and then returned her eyes to Feilin: "Fei Lin, because the wedding date is approaching, the families of both sides are urging us to complete the marriage. I came to find you to go back."

Filin remained calm: "Let's find a place to talk?"

Belinda was considerate and nodded lightly: "Yeah."

Filin chose to settle down in the Xia Duoli family with his public identity. It was not surprising that Belinda came here to visit. This was just normal aristocratic exchanges. However, what happened here was discovered by some onlookers. The gossiping souls of the guards or servants began to burn, and they watched Felin, Carol, and Belinda enter the house.

As the owner of the mansion, Xia Duoli regarded herself as a student of Felin and Felin. As the head of the family, she originally wanted to entertain everyone with a small banquet, but seeing the three people walking in together, she was numb, and the welcome voice was a little lower. She hurriedly prepared a tea party according to Felin's intention. After watching the three people go to the garden, she hurriedly turned back to find someone to contact Xiao Qian.

"I thought I didn't understand what atmosphere was... But it feels a little cold in the house today. Go find Sister Xiao Qian and ask Lady Felin to come back..."

Why invite Felin? Because there is no sense of security, and also because I feel that if Felin is there, even if there is a conflict, it can be settled.

At the tea party of the three, Belinda introduced herself as if nothing had happened, and got to know Carol and introduced themselves to each other.

The Stral Empire has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, and the royal authority is still prominent. There are not many powerful nobles left in the empire. The Morgana family is of high status and can really fight. Belinda's Camilla family can be chosen for marriage, which naturally has its advantages. The status is not low and the family is well matched.

Carol did not hide or avoid. Carol. Dienheim was also a famous family in ancient times. She and her father left the family for a long time and did not return, but her bloodline is pure and her strength is not weak. Yingjie's strength is on the cards. He thinks he is not inferior to a weak lady like Belinda.

Belinda did not mean to interrogate, but was curious: "You have a good relationship."

The magic eye made the world in her eyes like a fairy tale. In her eyes, Filin used to be like a black cat wrapped in bandages, a little cold, while Carol was a lazy golden shaded cat, without any bad intentions, and very cute. When she saw the cute creature, Belinda did not have much hostility. After the most basic entanglement, she wanted to know how far the two had come.

Feilin understood what Belinda meant, added some hot water to Carol and Belinda's tea cups, and whispered: "I met Carol on the battlefield when I was adventuring outside. We experienced dangerous battles together and depended on each other. In the Kalan human-demon war, I was seriously injured and on the verge of death. It was Carol who saved my life."

Carol held the tea cup quietly, thinking and silent, and did not join the topic.

Belinda frowned slightly, but at the same time she smiled politely: "I'm a little, I don't know what to say, a little embarrassed. That, that, ahahaha...Filin, what do you think of our engagement?"

Filin was a little mute: "Such a direct question... I can't say whether I want both, how about calming down a little?"

Belinda stood up with the table: "Sorry, it seems that this question makes you embarrassed, but we are in a marriage, and we have to consider the connection between the families anyway, right?"

Filin stood up: "I'll take you."

Belinda shook her head gently: "It doesn't matter, I'm going to rest at the nun's place. On the way here, my guard was injured, and it's really embarrassing now. My mind is a little confused, ahahaha~ Let me sort it out. I don't know what to say to really deal with such a situation."

Belinda walked out of the garden, and Feilin was a little dazed, but Carol pushed him and asked him to chase Belinda, but Feilin shook his head gently and patted Carol on the shoulder.

"Even if it's you, are you asking me to chase your fiancée in front of you?" Feilin shook his head gently. "In terms of relationships, responsibility is a very troublesome excuse. I sincerely recognize you as a companion and partner, and hope that in the future, we will be a beam of light in each other's lives."

Carol was numb. This also entered her unknown territory: "But before you..."

Felin looked at Belinda's back: "I don't know how to do it, but I think that feelings are a kind of investment. I haven't invested my love in Belinda yet. Now I chase her and try to hold her hand to seek her love in return? I can't do such a shameless thing, let alone put on a sympathetic gesture. Whether this is a political marriage or not, I said that I also like girls like Belinda. Before I love her, I shouldn't take it for granted that she loves me."

Carol grabbed her hair close to Feilin and whispered: "So... do you really love me?"

Felin didn't answer, but gently touched Carol's head.

The fiancée came all the way to see her fiancé, but she saw the scene of Philin and Carol holding hands. This was really too much.

Then, time passed, and it was night. The orphanage run by Sister Hermis recently bought the adjacent building for renovation. The clergy of the Arius visiting group planned to transform it into a chapel. One is to facilitate the protection of the orphanage, and the other is ordinary missionary work.

Belinda chose to live here, mainly considering safety. It was not an easy thing to go from the Stral Empire to the Alchemy City. Many dangers occurred along the way, and her guards were injured.

Fortunately, the female swordsman was not seriously injured. Now she has bandages on her head and wrists and can move freely.

The female guard was not a carefree person. Seeing Belinda's absent-minded look, she asked, "Miss? Have you seen your fiancé?"

Belinda was indeed in a bad mood: "Ah, I have..."

The female guard seemed to realize something: "You look a little absent-minded. Did something happen?"

After experiencing danger, the relationship between the two was closer than that of an ordinary master and servant.

Belinda patted her face gently: "It's true that I can't cheer up. In fact, when we just met, I knew that Filin was a very hard-working person. He was not favored in Morgana's family. The missing Earl Abils was a very strict person. Filin was sent to a remote country and participated in the human-demon war in Kalan. He also had a near-death experience. During this process, there was actually a very outstanding woman accompanying him."

The female guard slowly sat down next to Belinda: "Do they have feelings?"

Belinda didn't say anything about seeing people holding hands, but just sat on the bed and buried her face in her knees: "You must be a little jealous. I just noticed today that the aura exuding from Felin is that of a hero... Miss Carol, too. Yingjie, isn't he awesome? So they can take risks together, share the dangers that I can't touch, and can trust each other even in desperate situations. So when Feilin needs help the most, only Miss Carol and him Together, during the healing process of Feilin's spiritual trauma, it was Carol who stayed with him, not me. As his fiancée, I was a little upset."

The female guard said in shock: "Ah, this..."

If we simplify things, if the fiancé abandons his fiancée and hangs out with another woman, when he sees such news, he should directly call him a scumbag. This is what the female guard thought from the beginning. On the surface, it is just a drama about an aristocratic young master's infatuation. But actually? The environment in this world is different. As a swordsman, she understands that feeling.

She had a similar experience. When she was a mercenary, she encountered danger, and she survived the crisis with her young and handsome companion. She was also very lucky. When he was seriously injured, the other party dragged him out of the pile of corpses. She also rescued him. The relationship between comrades-in-arms was elevated to that of friends because of the relationship with the opposite sex. When she went home and was about to confess, she saw the other person hugging his wife and daughter. What could she do at that time? Just watch it from a distance, and you will feel relieved as time goes by.

Belinda's current mental state is a little discouraged, so she wants to cheer herself up: "Ah, there's no need to show that expression, I'm not that depressed. When I heard about the political marriage very early, I used to run away from home, but after seeing After meeting Feilin, I was attracted to him again. We were a good match in many political marriages in China. Feilin was humble and polite to me and respected me, so I wanted to like him and try to form a real family with him. What I’m confused about now is can I really do it well?”

The female guard patted Belinda's back gently: "Miss, don't put too much pressure on yourself by thinking nonsense."

Belinda said: "I actually really want to have an equal relationship with Feilin. I thought I wouldn't care about the second wife and the third wife. But I found that I am not so generous. Hahaha~ It's really strange. My brain It turned into paste.”

The female guard sighed: "So don't think so much, you are the eldest lady no matter what."

Belinda waved her hand: "I don't think that I am getting married, so I just pretend to be the eldest lady, and then go to Miss Carol to arrogantly swear my sovereignty. There are many such idiots in the empire. If If we aim for equality, we will have to bear the hardships and pains that Film has to bear. Based on the marriage, she already has the status of a head wife. In the future, she will enjoy the status and glory brought by Film as a powerful hero. I don’t want to be a superficial person. A shallow person like a canary in a vase...I want...I want one day that Feilin can take time to go for a walk with me every day and travel at least twice a year!"

The female guard didn't know what to say, but she found that her eldest lady was much more mature than the daughter of the same age, and she was also a very charming person.

"I went to sit outside, on the bench in front of the orphanage. I felt quite energetic watching the children running on the street."

The female guard nodded slightly. The eldest lady meant that after complaining, she wanted to be alone.

Belinda sat on a bench outside. In fact, it was getting late. The nun called the children back. The street was relatively quiet because the Arian priests were guarding nearby, so the street was very safe.

Belinda was sitting on the bench in a daze, and suddenly she felt a chill on her face. She turned around and saw a bottle of drink first, and then Felin's calm and calm figure.

Belinda forced herself to cheer up, her face full of surprise and laughter: "What kind of drink is this? Is it a specialty of Alchemy City?"

Feilin sat next to Belinda, with Qingyue above. He was now in disguise: "Well, a kind of pomegranate wine soda."

Belinda took the drink: "Wine? Soda? Are you sure these two things can be combined~"

Feilin opened the drink first and took a sip: "It tastes pretty good and is quite popular. I think you will like it."

Belinda also opened the drink and took a sip first. It was indeed delicious, and because Feilin handed it to her, she suddenly felt better.

It was quiet for thirty seconds, and the two of them drank their drinks in unison, when suddenly Belinda broke the calm.

"Did you have sex with Miss Carol?"

"puff--!"

"Ah uh uh... I mean, you've been through so many dangers, and you've cuddled up to each other when you're safe, hugging each other, kissing each other, and then..."

"Stop, stop, no." Probably.

"Oh..." Belinda breathed a sigh of relief, "Why not yet?"

Feilin's mentality collapsed inexplicably: "No, it means no, it hasn't developed to this point yet, no, why do you ask this suddenly."

Belinda spit out the bubbles while holding the drink and stared at Feilin for a long time before she said, "Aren't you curious?"

Feilin lowered his head and wiped the drink on his body. The red color of the pomegranate wine soda stained his clothes: "It's a really unexpected question. It's really not like you would ask it. I don't know how to answer it."

Belinda turned her head and said, "I'm just a little jealous. Women are jealous. This is a normal emotion. It's normal. But I also envy Miss Carol. She is always there when you need her most." By your side, right? It would be great if I could be by your side."

Filin was a little helpless: "Did you get disappointed?"

Belinda shook her head: "Don't think I'm so petty, I believe what you said, you were almost dead, it was Miss Carol who saved you, normally you would fall in love with such an excellent woman, right? I just care a little bit, I care about you when you need help the most, not the help I provide you, that's all, we don't owe each other, the marriage is just in name, on the contrary, if you have experienced such a thing and still say you love me deeply, I doubt whether you are a person with normal feelings."

Filin looked away: "Even so, the fiancée came When you came to me, I failed to greet you and accompany you. I was indeed negligent in this regard. "

Belinda chuckled: "But you are sitting next to me now. You are holding hands with Miss Carol, and now you are thinking about your fiancée? You are really a playboy, Philin. I will complain to Miss Carol if you do this."

Filin made a gesture of begging for mercy: "Don't complain, the fiancé also has to fulfill his duties."

Belinda snorted: "So it's just like work. Do you still have to fill out a schedule? I'm angry, the kind that can't be coaxed. I'm going to go back and rest."

Belinda got up and returned to the orphanage. Philin followed her and was blocked outside the door.

Belinda made a face through the crack of the door: "Do you remember what I said? If you go out to have an affair, don't even think about entering my room."

Filin took out two tickets: "There is a good casino in the night market of Alchemy City. Do you want to go there?"

Belinda was stunned for more than three seconds, and finally answered firmly: "Yes!"

Chapter 236 Belinda, the considerate person

The casino that Feilin came to play today is the casino that he had cooperated with not long ago. As partners, Feilin and Belinda were well entertained. The entertainment projects in Alchemy City are rich and colorful, such as small games like playing marbles.

Belinda is the type who will play everything. She is not keen on gambling, but prefers to experience new game rules and new things. She is very carefree when playing.

Then Feilin's idea was correct. When stalking a person, he would start with similar hobbies. In the laughter, Belinda forgot the unhappiness of today, and had the same pace with Feilin, and walked home in laughter.

After a round of fun, both of them were in a great mood. Filin took his fiancee's hand and walked slowly on the street: "So you see, my adventurous life is not all dangerous. It is not difficult to enjoy life while taking risks."

Belinda was in a good mood, even a little unbridled: "I also thought about what I should do, Filin."

Filin looked at her: "Huh?"

Belinda trotted to the front, with her hands behind her back and looked at Filin: "I also have my own strengths. I can support you in other ways and be with your heart."

Filin spread his hands: "You guy, don't always think about my things, take care of your own life."

Belinda clenched her fists and cheered: "Of course, I eat well and drink well, and I am happy, but isn't it better to support each other with my husband, like a fairy tale?"

Filin bowed slightly and pretended to be reserved: "I will love you seriously, respected Miss Belinda."

This time it seems to be coaxed.

Philin breathed a sigh of relief. When accompanying Belinda home, he couldn't help but stop and turn around. Although he was happy to see his fiancée, he couldn't let her stay here for too long. As time went by, he felt vaguely uneasy.

In the destroyed workshop in the tower of the Alchemy Academy, the old alchemist passed away peacefully.

The investigators checked the destroyed lines with a grim face. The final result was that the transfer research failed because the alchemists could not quickly repair the equipment.

"Could it be that those people infiltrated and caused the damage? Seal off the scene and interrogate everyone present. No information can be missed."

"Yes."

Alchemy Academy is a place for learning, but its core is still an organization that operates for a grand plan. The dean paid special attention to the destruction of the tower.
