Oops, I became the witch's substitute

Want to protect Fili.

Serena couldn't understand this feeling either. Fili was clearly smiling at this moment, but her eyes were sad, as if she was forcing a smile. She didn't know what kind of mental journey Fili had gone through.

However, Serena has been instilled with the concept of "protection" since she was a child. Protecting her family, protecting her siblings, and protecting her territory seems to be a natural responsibility and a job.

But now, Serena wants to truly protect Fili.

This was obviously a very rash idea. We had known each other for less than a month, so we couldn't even be considered friends. Our seniority couldn't be compared to the witch's, and our strength was even lower. However...

Serena wants to repay this favor and protect Fili as a knight.

That’s right, it’s to repay a favor……………………

Chapter 19 Water Priestess

⒊Ⅰ Erba Art Research

Almost everything is possible in the magical world. Heavy rain continued to fall in the territory of Deset for three consecutive days, during which time Fili remained in a state of prayer.

Not eating or drinking for three days is not a big deal for Yingjie. The key is why the water elf has no reaction at all?

Even though there were still four days left, Fili couldn't help but grumble. The most annoying thing was that there was no hope.

All the animals big and small nearby have found peace here and live in peace with each other. Grass and trees grow around Fili, forming an oasis here and serving as a drinking water place for the animals.

Serena was also wondering, Fili had already given so much, how long would this strange ceremony last? She was upset to see Fili not eating or drinking.

In fact, not only the two of them were murmuring, there was another being who was also murmuring.

A water spirit was wandering nearby. She felt the invitation of the ancient ritual and planned to come over. Although it was a dry area, it would no longer be dry as long as she came.

The problem is the girl who presides over the ceremony... a witch?

Elves do not need sacrifices. They like beautiful things, natural beauty.

Fili looks beautiful, but what exactly is she? I can't see clearly, is she a boy or a girl? It should be a girl, right? After all, she is pretty, but why can't I see clearly? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I made a mistake? It's not like humans don't have cute boys.

That’s right, due to the existence of the talent of deception, the elves, who are able to see the essence through appearance, looked at Fili as if they were extremely nearsighted, so they did not dare to approach rashly.

Without anyone knowing, the three parties were in a stalemate.

This awkward situation continued until a unicorn appeared. When the elves were having all kinds of strange ideas, a unicorn appeared among the group of animals and became the most beautiful one.

It slowly approached Fili, sat down beside her, and then became embarrassed as well.

Compared to the elves, the unicorn is willing to get close to the pure girl. It originally came here to smell Fili's scent, but under the influence of falsehood, it didn't feel anything before getting close. However, after getting close, it began to find that its body was instinctively rejecting her.

"Hmm??!" The unicorn turned its head, and if it could speak, it would have screamed out.

Fili was also embarrassed. Her deception could be used against humans and it could also confuse known beasts, but she was not familiar with the Unicorn. She could not get close to the Unicorn in her original form. Now she was acting as a witch. The Unicorn came over, and Fili tried her best to cover up her breath, saying that she was a pure girl and must not let the Unicorn discover that "he" was a man.

The unicorn's reason and instinct were fighting fiercely. Reason said that this was the pure, beautiful and pretty witch, but instinct produced a rejection reaction and wanted to leave Fili, but his body was persuaded by reason: "There are other humans watching nearby, and I must not let them know that I might mistake a man for a woman. Anyway, she is a very beautiful person..."

In this way, Fili had the unicorn as a guarantee. This scene was seen by the water elf, and she decided not to hide it anymore.

In the heavy rain, a vortex of water slowly formed in front of Fili, and finally a human figure made of water appeared.

Fili almost blurted out, thinking, "There is living water?"

Fortunately, she held back and watched the human-shaped ball of water continue to deform. Its eyebrows were like green feathers and its skin was like white snow, revealing a woman with long blue hair, a fish-shaped hair accessory on her head, and a scepter in her hand.

Fili breathed a sigh of relief and said, "She's a beautiful girl. I made a profit."

The water spirit spoke first: "I am the water witch. Following the ancient call, I came here to listen to your song. Girl, I accept your prayers. Tell me your wish."

Fili bowed slightly: "Respected Water Priestess, I would like to ask you to bless this land, drive away the drought, and keep people from getting close to death."

The Water Maiden nodded gently: "I understand. I also have a condition. You need to come here and sing again at this time every year."

Isn't it just singing a song? It's free, Fili agreed immediately: "No problem, Lady Water Priestess."

At this time, Fili didn't realize how big a trouble she was in.

At this point, the contract was established, and the body of the water priestess melted into a pool of water again. The unicorn also ran away secretly without anyone noticing, but it did not run far, because when the distance was slightly increased, its instinct disappeared again, and reason took over the high ground again, so it repeated the strange cycle of approaching Fili and moving away from Fili.

Fili was soaked to the skin, her clothes clinging to her body, but she still made playful gestures: "Serena, we succeeded. Your territory will be blessed by the water spirits. There will be a constant supply of water here, and it will never be disturbed by drought again."

Serena hurriedly took her knight's coat and put it on Fili: "I really don't know what to say to thank you for the favor you have bestowed upon me."

Fili snapped her fingers slightly: "Just smile."

Serena didn't know what to say for a moment, and the group soon set off back to the castle.

This long-awaited heavy rain also filled the castle's drought-stricken water cellars with clean water. The dam on the other side of the river also began to be built. Coupled with the arrival of the water priestess, this place will be completely free of the trouble of drought.

Optimus naturally also showed high etiquette to Fili, held a grand banquet, and entertained Fili with her as the focus.

After the banquet, Optimus Prime brought Serena to Fili, drew his sword, and held it in front of him. He bowed to Fili and swore: "The Desette family swears here to always treat you as a distinguished guest. No matter when, the Desette family will always support your decision. This oath will be passed down from generation to generation."

Fili returned the gift and smiled softly, "In fact, it doesn't have to be passed down from generation to generation. Benefiting a region of humanity is also considered a good deed. I just did what I should do."

Serena immediately stood behind Fili after taking the oath: "Then father, as part of the deal, I will follow Lady Fili from now on as her guardian knight until the debt is paid off."

Optimus Prime laughed: "If you want to go, go ahead. Today's territories don't just require swords and shields. You should do something you like occasionally."

That being said, the real reason Optimus Prime was laughing was because of Serena's expression. She was raised as a boy since she was a child, so her aesthetic taste might have become masculine as well. It seemed normal for her to pursue a beautiful witch.

Now there are no monsters in the territory and there is plenty of water. Considering that her real "self" has been turned into a cat and the witch's invitation, Fili must go back as soon as possible.

After waiting for so long, I can finally face the real local witches and see what kind of people they are, especially the dazzling witch who played a prank. Although it was the clone who was turned into a cat, it also involves the issue of dignity and I can't give in like this.

"Well, Serena, let's go."

"Of course, I will follow in your footsteps."

Chapter 20 Bell Training

In a cafe somewhere in the capital of Miriam, the brilliant witch Irene was enjoying a relaxing afternoon tea, and opposite her was another witch.

Irene held a ruby ​​in her hand, and there was a shadow of a cat in it. "Look, this beautiful ruby ​​is the task I left for the newcomer. The curse of the ruby ​​is not so easy to break."

The witch on the other side kept adding sugar cubes to her tea: "The night banquet is coming up, but you want to provoke other witches. How boring."

Irene disagreed: "Do you really think everyone is a witch? We will soon find out whether she is a witch or a sorceress."

Warlocks are a bloodline that is born with the ability to use specific powers and can perform complex magic without any systematic learning.

There is no difference between a female warlock and a witch before they grow up. You won't know until you grow up.

After all, witches are all petite and cute immortals.

Irene turned the gem eagerly: "After all, the thing I want was lost in that hotel. Someone took over right after the previous manager died. I don't believe you that there is no trick here. That new guy..."

Just as she said this, there was a clear cracking sound in her hand, and the surface of the ruby ​​first cracked and then broke into pieces.

The curse was lifted instantly.

"Interesting." Seeing this scene, another witch put down her teacup and continued to add sugar cubes from the side. She could hardly tell whether the tea in her teacup contained a lot of sugar, or the sugar contained some tea.

"How is it possible!" Irene's voice became much sharper. "Even if Lady Hecate came, she could hold out for a few seconds. Why was the curse broken in an instant?"

Another witch finished the candy in her teacup and said, "I'm going to go back and build my house. By the way, your game is nothing special."

What happened?

Fili returned to the hotel, picked up the tabby cat and went back to her room. She instantly removed the false clone, restored her appearance to Fili, and then created another false clone, Fili.

What is the cat curse? Why bother to solve it?

Now that his identities had been switched back, Filin slapped his face, and looking at Fili's clone he couldn't help but hug his arms, feeling a chill on his back.

"I am really amazing. I can sing and dance so well in that state. At this time, please praise my family's education a little. I am speechless."

One of the principles of the film is to do your best if you are going to do it, and of course you have to play the role of a witch to your best. The problem is that the identity of this witch is too attractive. After experiencing it, I realized that they are really being pampered.

Miriam's witches are low-key, but everyone respects them, which proves that Fili's identity was the right choice.

The plan is still a little bit behind. If I want to officially become a witch, of course I have to participate in witch social activities.

As for the information that his father asked for? As long as he could meet a great witch, he could make up whatever he wanted.

Feilin picked up the letter left by the Brilliant Witch and read it over and over again, confirming that there were still three days until the full moon night. During these three days, he would first determine the renovation plan for the inn, starting with the third floor, and then import a batch of delicious drinks and fresh ingredients.

Ok……

Thinking of running the inn, Filin suddenly turned into Fili again and continued to let the original body take on the role of the clone.

"Let's go cook."

"..."

The original body (the substitute) said to the clone (the original body), and the latter thought that talking to himself like this was quite boring.

A more realistic problem is that running an inn is obviously time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there is no way to squeeze out time to practice magic power, so of course it has to be left to the clone to do it.

Watching her real self walk towards the kitchen, Fili looked away. Who is she now?

Just as she was thinking this, a voice of "Sister" came from outside, but faster than the voice was the swooping of a petite dragon girl, which hit Fili in the stomach.

"Uh-huh!" Is this a case of repaying kindness with enmity?

Scathach looked well-behaved: "Sister, you are finally back!"

Feili knew everything: "I'm telling you, don't pretend to be good. Feilin told me that you were just slacking off when I was not around, right?"

"Tsk, that guy." Scathach was unhappy for a moment, and then immediately changed her expression, "No, I have practiced hard."

"Where's the bell?" Fili's eyes became sharp.

"Uh..." Scathach turned into a child who had done something wrong.

"You, Scathach." Fili put her hands on her shoulders. "You are not a child anymore. You should know that I can't protect you all the time. The practice of bells is part of the training. You are very strong, so you must learn to control your strength."

Scathach scratched her head sheepishly: "Does that really make sense?"

Fili sighed, pulled Scathach to the backyard, and first went to the firewood pile to chop wood. Fili first showed Scathach the bell on her wrist, then picked up the axe with one hand and split the arm-thick wood into two halves.

"This is not just brute force, but clever strength." The axe controlled by Fili did not chop all the way to the end, but stopped halfway. The firewood seemed to be separated by itself, and the bell on her wrist did not make any sound.

Then Fili took another broad bean from the kitchen, took out the magic dagger, threw the broad bean into the sky, and then swung the dagger. The dagger was held by an invisible thin wire, and when it fell, Fili caught the bean and the dagger at the same time.

"Doing housework, threading a needle, etc., are all to train your concentration. I hope that Scathach, you are not simply dependent on me, but have the power to protect yourself." Fili touched Scathach's head, "You have this talent."

Scathach was stunned again, then lowered her head: "How can I be like my sister? I will make a sound no matter what..."

Fili took off the bell on her wrist, cut it open with a dagger, and explained the internal structure to Scathach: "It's very simple to make the bell stop making any sound..."

There are techniques for how to exert force and how to move. Understand the basic principles, and then gradually learn the techniques. One day you will be able to master them.

By the way, there was no one to teach Feilin so carefully back then, I learned it entirely on my own.

"Hey, interesting training, Fili, can you repeat the technique just now?" Serena suddenly came to the backyard, and it seemed that she had just cleaned up the room.

"No problem, come and watch too." Fili spoke softly, causing Scathach to look at her sideways.

What's going on? Why did my elder sister bring back a woman she didn't know? Wait, isn't this the knight who ate and drank so much in the inn?

Scathach had difficulty concentrating, and Serena was very interested in bell training, so she took this opportunity to ask Fili for a bracelet. She had as many of these as she wanted.

"I will treasure it well."

"No need to be so serious..."

With the same training, no one can succeed at the beginning, but after listening to the explanation of the techniques, Serena quickly grasped the key points. She shook her arms gently, and the bell did not make a sound. Then she drew her sword in the open space, and the bell did not make a sound. Finally, she swung the sword, and there was a sound of breaking through the air, and at the end the bell shook with a jingling sound.

Serena looked down at the bell and sword, thoughtfully: "It does make sense. If this sword cuts too deep into the monster's body and gets stuck in its muscles and bones, it will be troublesome."

Fili touched the tip of the dagger and said, "On average, an adult male has 10 to 30 milliliters of blood in his body. If he loses % in a very short period of time, he will go into shock. Even for a Transcendent, this ratio will not exceed %. You know, this is enough to kill an ordinary person. Since we can achieve our goal, why bother wasting extra effort?"

Simply explaining the method of killing, Fili silently thought about her nominally despicable father. How much blood would it take to kill a deity?

Chapter 21 Witch's Daily Life

Today, Fili was lying on the window looking at the backyard. Selena was watching Scathach training on her behalf. The little dragon girl was conquered by the Knight Princess' seriousness and stubbornness.

The management of the inn was taken care of by her deceptive clone, and she had time to continue writing letters to her family.
