Oops, I became the witch's substitute

Arabelle frowned and smiled bitterly: "Because these girls have outstanding abilities. In addition to running the tavern on a daily basis, they also resold the wine in the winery, got to know some chambers of commerce and nobles, and have magic bartending skills, making a lot of money." I made a fortune and deepened cooperation with several wineries. Now there are some special wines that only these people can produce. This pub was originally a store that I transferred at a low price, but the girl in charge of the money... um. Recently, they mortgaged their land and house deeds, and with the money they earned, they asked me to open a pub in another street. I thought that was it, but they recruited, trained, and continued to expand. They had a lot of customers every day and made a lot of money. After using the money to mortgage the new store, he came to me with the money to buy a store. Now it has expanded to four stores. At present, it seems that there is still the intention to continue to expand, and it is not only a pub, but also preparing to get involved in other industries. "

Feili was silent for a moment, lowered her head and thought for three seconds: "You do have the brains and strength to play like this... if the capital chain is broken, you will be dead."

Arabelle put her hands on her hips: "There are only four stores now. They only have daily expenses and don't employ many employees. It's okay for the time being, but I'm worried that they are not heart-warming and will be in trouble when they grow up. For example, those few The winery has interrupted its supply.”

Feili spread her hands: "Don't look at me. I'm not familiar with them. Although I ask you to take care of them, what should I do if something really happens? But the problem you are worried about should not happen. It's just about supply. These people should be able to handle such small things as cooperation.”

Arabelle looked at Feili's expression seriously: "Don't you seem very worried?"

Feili shook her head: "Actually, not only am I not worried, I also admire her methods. If she only knows this trick, she will indeed die slowly, but I think this guy who manages money will not be limited to one method. Wait. When the time comes, she will raise the price and the funds will be withdrawn.”

Arabelle lowered her head and thought: "Let me think about it, there is really no hard problem in the city's liquor market. Some places are either ordinary gangs or affiliated with power. They are concentrating on exploring the liquor market and there is really no one to compete with them. Then the time you are talking about is When their taverns opened in border cities.”

Feili nodded: "So you should let them go. The environment of this place is just right. The nobles are weak and other forces have not interfered. They just have a place. With the protection of the witch and you in the future, they will definitely be able to occupy the border city. In the wine market, if only they can sell such necessities, do you still have to worry about the price? If you invest, I think you can still make a profit. "

Feili looked at Arabelle and was still frowning and thinking, and didn't say much. She was quite interested in the guy who was in charge of money. After all, she had no skills at all. She couldn't stop practicing just to make money, right? When I get back from Karan, I should meet these "colleagues".

Chapter 160 Karan Chaos

In the Kalan area, war is raging. Serena led the Riel mercenaries to fight here, with great results. All forces came to support them. The results were brilliant at the beginning. After advancing to a certain area, the purpose of occupying the land was only Kalan. The kingdom still insisted on restoring its kingdom, and the war situation became deadlocked again.

The current battle situation is dominated by the north and the south. The Arius Expeditionary Force is the main force in the south, which makes the demons very depressed. This is the only foreign force that chooses to fight with them. In the north is the Kalan Restoration Army, with the brave Gaio Luisi made a breakthrough for the coach, but other than that, he was fishing in other directions.

The demons that invaded Karan continued to go crazy under the organization of mysterious forces. Some big demons entered Karan with unknown secrets. After the death of demon coach Anastasia in battle, the Crooked Dragon with the power of a god appeared in the world. In order to control this power, some demons accepted the bewitchment of the power of disaster and became more and more crazy. Many massacres occurred in the center of Kalan, and more cities achieved the complete extinction of human beings. In the occupied areas, corpses were everywhere and blood flowed everywhere. pestle.

Later, with the spread of the abyssal fragments, the Arius Expeditionary Force was the first to be affected. Now, in addition to fighting against the demons, it is often involved in non-combat attrition in the abyss. In order to protect urban residents and build churches, the expeditionary force and Both the first and second reinforcements dispersed a large number of manpower.

The brave Alex and the brave Hodge were sitting at the campfire. They were relatively young. Today's continuous bloody battles were different from the previous missions of the cult, which was wearing out their minds every day.

Alex and Hodge also have their own solutions to stress. Alex is a brave man who abides by his duties and rules, while Hodge relies on alcoholism and nightmares to survive.

When it was time to march and hold on, there was nowhere for the brave men to run around. Today, the two of them just stared at the bonfire in silence, listening to the crackling of sparks, and occasionally throwing a few pieces of firewood into it.

After a long time, Hodge suddenly raised his head: "It seems to have been a lot quieter these two days. You come to guard while I go back and take a rest..."

Alex took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "That's enough. The proprietress of the Dream Demon Shop has even complained to the military camp. If you don't think it's embarrassing, I still think it's embarrassing."

Hotch covered his throat: "Ahhhhh! I can't stand it anymore! Give me water!"

Alex sighed: "You'd better drink."

Huo Qi pounded the ground: "No, I don't dare to drink. If a big demon attacks, drinking will cause trouble."

"Let me talk to you." Alex glanced at him, helplessness flashed between his brows.

After experiencing Morrigan's incident, Alex learned about Hodge's tragic past from the old presiding judge. He thought that Hodge would be severely hit after the incident was over. This guy did sink for a while, but then he got worse. Fortunately, as a brave man, Huo Qi was determined to fight gambling and drug addiction, so there were fewer troubles.

Huo Qi still felt that the day when the goddess came was very strange. After all, no brave man would fight with his own goddess: "Then let's talk. I said, our new goddess seems to be pretty good and has a wide range of business. She seems to be in charge of war and destruction. , fertility, justice, death and revenge, remember correctly?”

"...I remember it wrong." Alex's forehead immediately popped up with veins, and he was very angry, "Did you not read the new canon at all? Now it is clearly recorded that he is the patron saint of light and darkness."

Hotch looked indifferent: "It's day and night, doesn't she have to sleep?"

Alex: "Don't worry about the goddess's affairs, and don't make irresponsible remarks about the gods."

Huo Qi sighed: "We have a life-long friendship with that goddess. What's wrong with a little discussion? It's amazing. It's different from when I recited the scriptures when I was a child. Now that the goddess has arrived, it's obviously a lie, but it has become real. But after our real master Arius admitted, hey, I'm going to faint. Fortunately, I came out to fight, otherwise I would probably fail the written examination this year."

"You are a brave man." Alex covered his face, "Look at Karan's Gio Louis. That is the model of a brave man. Then look at you."

Hotch looked serious: "He is passionate and upright. If I really want to be a model of a brave man, I still think you are more suitable. A brave man should be as rigid as you, able to suppress any emotion in his heart, and remain rational when facing anyone. , I really can't do this. For example, if you accept the handkerchief sent by the dream demon with a smile, wash it and send it back, I will be different. I will send myself back. "

Alex suddenly stood up and Hotch suddenly got into a defensive position.

"what are you doing?"

"I'll go on patrol and calm down."

"call……"

Hotch just breathed a sigh of relief, and the two suddenly sensed the magic wave coming from thousands of miles away, and became alert at the same time. However, this magic wave came from humans, so after looking at each other, Hotch stayed to strengthen his defenses, and Alex went to produce A place where magic power fluctuates.

After arriving at the place, Alex couldn't help but gasp. He saw a special flag and a mysterious legion.

The leader of this legion is wearing a white magic swordsman uniform. This color is like a banner pulled by thousands of troops, saying "I am the commander, fire is coming at me" written on his body, because behind the legion leader is all black Armor knights, each one is fully armored and wears a fully enclosed helmet, and their eyes are partially covered by silver-gray lenses.

The legion commander was wearing a mask and his expression could not be seen clearly. He slowly landed in front of Alex: "Is this the headquarters of the seventh legion of the Arius Expeditionary Force? Is this Alex?"

Alex felt the pressure from this army. They marched in unison and uniformly. When they got closer, they could vaguely feel the earth shaking: "Yes, you are?"

The white-clothed mage said solemnly: "We are the reinforcements from the Stellar Empire, the Black Vulture Magic Knights of the Morgana Family, and have been ordered to support the Alex Division of the Arius Expeditionary Force. From now on, our command will be handed over to you. "

Alex suspected that he heard wrongly: "Leave it to me...?"

The mage confirmed: "Yes, this is the order of the Earl. Until Karan returns to the country or receives a new order from the head of the family, we will completely obey your orders, Your Excellency Alex."

Alex looked at the team again, and at a glance, there were more than 800 people, four heroes, and the rest were transcendants. This number was almost the total of the current three expeditionary forces and the local armed forces. He Alex had never fought such a rich battle in his life, and he was silenced by the pie in the sky.

"Can I ask the reason? Why did the Morgana family come all the way to support Karan?"

"If I have to give a reason, it is to continue the future of this world and not let time stop in the Kingdom of Karan."

"You are welcome to join us."

In fact, in addition to the reinforcements that Alex encountered, various places in Callan have been receiving help from space magic in recent days. The long-distance transfer magic from the Morgana family has sent a lot of supplies to Callan's major counterattack fortresses. Of course, , you have to pay for food and the like, but the first batch of magic weapons is free, and the price will increase in the future. What should the Kalans do if they don’t have money? Just exchange it for magic resources.

On the basis of these supports, the Morgana family also sent many letters, saying that there would be more reinforcements in the future, which gave the Kalans a shot in the arm.

However, this move made the Stellar Empire very troubled. The imperial family could not keep up with Count Morgana's thinking and could not understand what this important figure was thinking.

"It's almost time." Count Abiles stood in front of the bookshelf and put a copy of "On the Origin of Empathy and Cruelty" on the bookshelf. He looked back at the huge pendulum clock and his eyes moved slightly. "Birth, old age, illness and death, as long as it is It happens naturally, why should we be sad about it? On the contrary, it is sad to be unable to resist when your destined death is so close. These books written by predecessors explain all the theories thoroughly, but it is a pity that after reading it, it is really sad. Can you understand? What's more, what is more tragic than death is stagnation, so time cannot stand still, time is the enemy of mankind. "

Dong Dong Dong, then a mage knocked on the door and entered after getting permission. After that, another order was issued, and almost half of the family took action.

At this moment, Feili had just stepped into Karan's land. As soon as she arrived, she was shocked by the lonely ghosts on the road. There were blind boxes almost every ten kilometers in the wild area. She had no idea what existed in the area ahead. Two days after Feili entered Karan, she met three newly deceased adventurers in the camp, and there were twisted corpses everywhere.

The situation got much better as we got closer to the city. The stones and trees on both sides of the avenue were engraved with mysterious runes, and the power of faith in different gods tried their best to protect the land.

After the water witch came here, she often stood in the river, closed her eyes and talked with some of her compatriots.

The water witch looked serious: "Feili, Evelint, let me tell you some bad news."

Feili couldn't help but frown and asked the Water Witch to change her usual relaxed style. Things were definitely not simple: "Only bad news?"

"Yes." The Water Witch sighed, "The wilderness is full of abyss fragments. The army is fighting in the front, and the city behind has no time to take care of itself. After nightfall, there are terrifying things approaching. Today's Karan will be shrouded in whispers as long as it loses the light of the flames. ”

After that, the Water Miko gave a long explanation, and then mentioned a list of the dead. The reinforcements from other surrounding countries were indeed justified in their cowardice. The fighting power invested by the church forces with a sense of justice also sacrificed a lot. Human beings sacrificed on the conventional battlefield. More than three godheads.

"During the time we left, the situation in Kallan further deteriorated. The current situation is most likely due to difficulties in material transportation and tight fighting on the front line." The Water Witch felt regretful, "The sacrificed divine beings were all brave squads, under the cover of the army. He tried to sneak in behind Karan, but he encountered a mysterious force, and now there are rumors that a demon king has appeared. "

Feili couldn't accept it: "How can there be a demon king? Isn't the demon who has the best chance of becoming the demon king dead?"

The Water Witch replied: "It's just a rumor, not confirmed. Only one of the brave team who carried out the beheading mission returned. The surviving necromancer used their corpses to return home and spread the news. Also, there are a few of us. The elves disappeared..."

Evelint clenched her fists: "How could this happen? We gathered such power before to forcibly block the star beasts from blocking the passage. How many days have passed and the situation has worsened again?"

The Water Witch nodded: "The specific situation can only be understood by contacting the enemy. The news I have received now is that the biggest reason is the fragments of the abyss. The disaster released by Pandora is very troublesome. These abyss fragments have strong growth and erosion capabilities. ”

Feili held the Morgana pendant, imagined Serena's figure, sensed it for a moment, and found the direction: "Go this way, let's meet Serena as soon as possible."

Fortunately, Serena and Yuelan partnered up. The two never took advantage of the opportunity and always fought steadily. They had the courage to block the terrifying enemies during the war, and also knew how to stay away from dangerous battlefields and advance and retreat in a controlled manner. Even so, Riel hired The corps also lost 30%, but the total strength of the corps was much greater than when they first arrived.

Nowadays, the weapons and equipment of the troops under Serena's command seem to be all brand-name goods, but everyone is fully armed and the number is maintained at a thousand people. They are all veterans gathered from hundreds of battles.

In the current environment like Kalan, the soldiers who are still fighting are most likely elites, even new recruits. If you stay in this environment for three days, you will become a veteran, and if you don't die in a month, you will become an elite.

In the military camp, Yuelan was looking at a map of the valley and thinking deeply: "It is said that the disappearance of these children is related to the mysterious sound of the flute? But didn't we kill the flute player?"

"Obviously, we didn't kill his real body." Serena pondered for a moment. "The piper we killed the first time was later found to be a missing villager, the second time it was a mad magician, and the third time we killed him. Paranoid cultist, our investigation direction must be wrong. Next time we encounter the piper, it may not be certain people who have to be defeated, but certain objects. I borrowed some magic books and saw something similar that can control The cursed weapon of the user’s spirit should be something like this.”

Yuelan gradually grasped the clue: "Flute player, is that the sound of the flute?"

"The Flute Player is a title assigned by the association based on folklore. The reason is that when a child disappears, there is a mysterious sound of the flute. It cannot be judged that the cursed instrument is a flute, or it may be something else. Next time, he should be captured alive and burned completely. No one left behind," Serena analyzed. Suddenly her eyes lit up while she was thinking, and she looked out the door, "Feli?"

Feili appeared in the room. Except for Serena and Yuelan, everyone else attending the meeting was shocked. They were relieved to see that they were familiar with each other.

"Your reaction has become sharper, Serena." Feili looked around at these officers. Some familiar faces disappeared, and many strangers appeared.

"Don't laugh at me. When did you show up?" Serena felt inexplicably relaxed, as if the piper under discussion had been sentenced to death after Philly showed up.

Feili curled her hair: "It appeared during your meeting to discuss. I'm sorry to disturb you, but the piper you mentioned has committed crimes again and again. Leave this kind of mysterious incident to me."

Serena had this intention. They, the warrior profession, have been having a headache about this for a long time: "Come on, come on, the Piper's activity area has been marked. The opponent harassed us repeatedly with the help of his immortality, and even sneaked into the city yesterday. "

During the conversation, Serena also introduced Feili to everyone present. The appearance of the big witch was a shot in the arm.

Chapter 161 Support

"Sister Feili~!"

Following a slightly resentful shout, a figure sprinted into Feili's arms at the speed of a cannonball. To others, it seemed that Feili might be knocked out. In fact, the figure landed in Feili's arms and was stabilized by a round of neutralization. Catch it firmly.

It was Scathach, the dragon lady whom she hadn’t seen for a long time. Now everyone in the legion knew her for her little wings and tail. She was a warm-hearted doctor who accompanied the army. However, as the situation worsened, Serena was thinking about sending Scathach back every day.

"Well, it feels like it hasn't been long, and your body seems to have grown a bit."

"Hehe~."

Fili held Scathach around and then lifted her up, observing the child's wings and tail. After liberating her from the curse of the crooked dragon, the little dragon girl's power was also awakened, although she had not yet broken through the boundaries of the transcendent. But he is much stronger than ordinary people. It will be easier to enter the road in the future, but it will be difficult to protect himself in Kalan.

After all, the divine beings who are rarely seen in ordinary times formed a group to die in Kalan.

Serena looked at the two people's intimate actions and felt happy: "Scathach learns everything very quickly now. At the beginning, she only made more injuries when taking care of the wounded. Now she is a trustworthy military doctor. There have been dangers before. , the child held a wounded man in one hand and rolled up his tail, and escaped from the gray fog with three soldiers. "

The third aunt and second father are suspected to be third uncle Yi

"It's all thanks to sister Feili's teachings." Scathach raised his chest slightly, but unfortunately there was nothing. Maybe racial dragons have the attribute of front armor, right?

Feili felt very pleased. She used her two identities to teach Scathach. It didn't take long, but she learned all the core skills. As her bloodline awakened, her strength increased, and the method of controlling her strength also kept up. Maintaining this enterprising spirit will definitely lead to a strong person.

"But Karan is getting more and more dangerous now, and I want you to return to Miriam." Feli touched Scathach's head, "You are brave enough to fight, but at your age you should go to the academy for further study. "

Scathach certainly has the passion of a young man: "I want to stay, save more people, and continue to become stronger..."

Chihiro③㈠②㈧㈠⒋①③㈨

Feili didn't force it. She was considered an elder, but she was not a nanny, guardian, or parent. All she could give Scathach was advice: "Well, I'll explain the reasons first, and you can think about it before making a decision."

The world's magic technology changes very quickly here. There is a version every twenty years, a game every fifty years, and firecrackers turn into nuclear bombs every hundred years. Although not every godhead will share their magic, the accumulation of magic in the academy The knowledge is enough for a mortal to become a transcendent. What Scathach lacks is this knowledge.

Of course, it is not a bad thing to learn and practice on the battlefield. In the future, if Scathach achieves the achievement of urban soldier king, she will be a dragon girl who has graduated in both medicine and martial arts. However, such knowledge will inevitably be narrow.

"The most important thing is that abyss fragments will appear in Karan at any time. You lack mystical knowledge and experience when encountering unknown events. If you encounter a monster with killing rules, you will not be able to deal with it." Feili also popularized science for everyone. I learned about the new version and new monsters, so that allies can better adapt to the version environment, iterate on the existing play style, and achieve a short and quick ideological change. "Letting you return to Miriam does mean protection, but more importantly, it means acceptance. educate."

"I..." Scathach hesitated. When she saw the sacrifices of soldiers and the pain of the wounded, she would indeed ignite her passion to help those in need, but Fili reasoned with her and made Scathach speculate that she would stay. Will it become a burden? "With so many people staying, if I leave, this behavior will be like a deserter."

"How old are you?" Yuelan, who usually didn't talk much, stood up and tapped her shoulder lightly, "You have always been our protector at your age, and you don't think about what we usually fight for. What? Isn’t it just to protect more children of your age from the devastation of war?”

The soldiers in the field hospital also joined in the fun, including those injured and lying on the bed, looking at Scathach with loving eyes.

The soldiers who come here have the consciousness to die in battle. As Yue Lan said, the home they want to protect at the cost of their lives is to allow children like Scathach to grow up healthily.

"Yes, little girl, you are not missing here."

"You often turn around after changing the dressing, and the tail swipes directly at you, which is too painful."

"Listen to the Witch-sama and return to Miriam. Leave it to us here."

Before this, it was not that no one had tried to persuade Scathach, but without Fili's majesty, Scathach seemed very stubborn. But with Fili here, naturally the child could not continue to take risks.

"Well, you decide how to choose." Feili clapped her hands. "If you have decided, just write to Feilin and ask him to pick you up. Speaking of which, he complained before that after he recovered from his injury, You never visited him once."

"Ah, this..." Scathach was stunned. After seeing everyone urging her to retreat, the little dragon lady wavered and decided to leave.

Seeing Scathach willing to carry his luggage, everyone had a smile on their faces and felt less worried in their hearts.

Serena stood next to Feili: "This child is stubborn and won't listen to anyone's advice. It's better for you to speak. If Scathach is willing to leave, we can try to take risks."

Feili waved her hand: "The current Karan is not suitable for any risky behavior. The current legion lacks magic equipment. At least some magic machinery must be added for ordinary soldiers to use, otherwise it will be too disadvantaged when fighting against the demons."

"We are short of supplies now." Yue Lan came over from the side. She naturally took over the duties of the adjutant and led the affairs of the legion, especially the logistics. Without Feilin's help, the legion could only get supplies in Kalan. There were various financial difficulties and shortages of supplies. If it weren't for the identity of an ally, they could exchange military merits for support. They would have run out of food a month ago.

However, since Feili appeared, these problems must be solved: "So, the next crusade against the piper will be left to me. You rest in place. We will ask the dragon to support the supply."

The few people discussed the details again. Feili opened the magic communication, opened the water mirror and communicated with Carol. First, order a batch of spiritual protection accessories produced by Carol, and then call Hecate to ask her to find the Frost Moon Dragon, and then let the dragon airlift a few waves.

Yes, this is the network of people. Problems that can be solved with magic should be solved with magic.

At this time, the guards outside suddenly reported that a team of 20 people came to the outside of the barracks, hoping to meet Serena.

Fili didn't care at first, but when she saw these people, she couldn't help but be stunned. She saw the family's flag at a glance.

This team is slightly weaker, half of them are high-level mages, seven are transcendents, and the leader is a hero.

"Hello, Knight Serena, we are the magic support team from the Morgana family. We have heard about your record. It is a very excellent and active guerrilla corps, but we lack mystical consultants. In the face of Kalan's increasingly serious disaster problem, please allow us to assist you in the battle." The leader mage took out the badge and handed Serena a scroll. Serena looked at it and handed it back to Fili.
