Oops, I became the witch's substitute

Don’t you want information about the Great Witch?

"Something strange has happened in the drought-stricken area to the north of Miriam. After actual investigation, a new oasis has appeared in the drought-stricken area. Heavy rain has fallen for several days without any warning. It is suspected to be highly consistent with the ability of Dorothy, the Witch of the Forest. If we continue to investigate, we will have to face a very critical problem, that is, the so-called key problem is the key to the problem..."

Good, this will make the letter content seem less empty.

At this point, "Filin" has no intention of writing a proper letter to his family. Of course, the reason why he was so perfunctory was because the letter mentioned Dorothy, and that scumbag father would most likely swallow his anger. Of course, the most likely possibility was that the intelligence chief did not dare to send the second half.

After sending this letter, Fili should prepare to attend the night banquet hosted by the witch.

Before that, the first thing Fili had to consider was how to escape if, just in case, there was even a slight possibility that her true identity was exposed.

That’s right, this witch’s banquet was like a battlefield. Before Fili went to the battlefield, she first thought about planning her escape route.

From ordinary witches to great witches, even Fili's understanding of them is limited to the introduction of their races. She knows nothing about each one's talents or the magic they are good at. Although she is fully confident in her talents and magical skills, she is not arrogant enough to deceive the world.

After all, as long as his despicable father is serious, his illusions can still be seen through at close range, so he must be careful.

Who knows if any of the witch's strange abilities can just restrain my own.

Just as Fili was preparing the magic props, a truck slowly stopped at the door. Selena in the backyard seemed to know something and ran out quickly.

The piano and the first batch of funds arrived. Fili felt happy and aggrieved. For this intelligence mission, in addition to the money she brought at the beginning, the first batch of funds was obtained from Serena's family. She didn't know when the funds applied for by her own family would come.

Selena was directing her followers to move the piano, and just in time she saw Fili coming down the stairs.

Serena glanced at Fili, then looked around the first floor of the hotel: "Fili, where are you going to put it? Do you need to discuss it with the manager?"

Fili pointed to the center. This piano was a toy, but also a large display item. "We've discussed it and decided to put it in the center of the lobby on the first floor."

Serena pursed her lips and said, "Although it may not be appropriate to say this, the piano is a work of art that is deeply loved by the nobles. The decoration of this hotel is a bit..."

There is no harm without comparison. The piano that Serena brought is quite gorgeous, but the style of the first floor of the hotel is completely wooden house, which looks like a street tavern. If I have to describe it, it is just a pile of cow dung thrown on flowers.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Fili is bad. Serena instinctively pointed the finger at Fili: "The manager should pay for the hotel to be renovated properly."

Fili subconsciously curled her hair and played with it: "It needs to be renovated, but it's still a hotel for ordinary people. As for the piano, it's just an embellishment of the store. We can just remove some useless decorations on it."

Serena was a little discouraged: "I specifically ordered these. They are obviously suitable for your status."

Fili laughed. "What kind of identity can I have? I'm just a witch. At most, I'm prettier than the average person, and better at history and magic than the average person. There's nothing special about me."

As soon as the words fell, Serena hesitated. How could this be so special that it could attract a unicorn? How could this be so special that it could attract a water priestess?

At the same time, Fili reminded herself that the witch was just a disguise.

Fili thought about it again and again and looked towards the kitchen with a guilty conscience. The fake clone was now Fili, working hard at cooking.

Since he created the account Fili, how long has it been since he logged into his main account? Or, who is the main account now?

If it was Filin, investigating the local witches would have been extremely difficult. If she behaved disrespectfully, she might be turned into a cat. But with Fili, she was immediately invited to the witches' banquet. It felt really unfair.

The piano was soon put into the hotel, and the attendants also checked in to rest today, and their main purpose was to have a meal.

Although this restaurant is not very high-end, the food is really delicious.

In people's minds, Feilin is more like a chef, not even as good as the landlord's stupid son.

"Um, Miss Fili...are you free now?" At this time, a man dressed as a scout walked in.

Fili quickly recalled the other person's identity in her mind. He was an adventurer who formed a team with Scathach when she picked him up. His name was Coleir. He had some magical talent. She commissioned him to investigate the information of the witch, and in return she would write a letter of recommendation for him.

"Coler, is there any news? Let's go to the backyard and talk." Fili certainly hoped that the witch would have as much information as possible, otherwise how could she fool her scumbag father at home?

As I approached the backyard, I heard a bell ringing, which sounded quite violent, and then it stopped with the sound of chopping wood.

It seems that Scathach's training will continue for a long time.

Selena also followed at this time, and Fili did not avoid her. They were all family here, and Selena was better than her in finding witches, and she actually met Hecate herself.

Scathach's face was filled with a look of despair, as she just couldn't learn how to stop the bell from ringing. When she saw Fili coming, she was as messy as a fox whose tail was stepped on: "Ah~ Sister Fili, mother, this training is so difficult."

Fili sighed softly. Controlling strength also depends on talent. Perhaps Scathach is more suitable for fighting skills that require emptying the brain. She could only comfort her: "It seems a bit difficult for you. Is your consciousness already blurred to this extent? Go and have a rest for a while."

Shaka stretched out his hands, but saw Cole appear in the backyard with him: "Hug me and I will recover... Who is this?"

Fili felt a sense of possession coming from Scathach. Was it an illusion? But it didn't matter. Business was more important. "I invited a guest to ask him about something."

After that, Selena was asked to take Scathach away. It was a good thing that the Knight Princess was growing while supervising Scathach.

If you look closely, Serena is more suitable to be the mother of the little dragon girl.

Fili turned her attention to Cole, "Well, let's talk about witches."

Cole had prepared a lot and was a little overwhelmed at first. He organized his words and said, "Where should I start? Seven years ago, a serious star beast disaster occurred in Miriam, our country. The commercial city of Melkia was almost destroyed and the central area was razed to the ground. After that, the disaster spread. It was the chief witch of the kingdom, Lady Hecate, who stopped it all. Since then, the kingdom has treated Lady Hecate as a guest of honor, but Lady Hecate does not often live in the city."

Fili thought for a moment: "You like living in forest areas, right? People really like eating wild mushrooms."

Cole nodded, assuming that Fili knew about the witches' lifestyle. "After that, the Wang family publicly expressed their support for witches and tried to recruit witches and build workshops for them, but most of them failed."

Fili was surprised: "Failure? No, there are still many witches coming to this country, right? Did they all live in the forest?"

Cole nodded again: "Most witches are like this. Even witches living in the city rarely go out and rarely communicate with others, as if they are deliberately avoiding outsiders. Some dangerous witches have appeared and caused some disasters, but the news has been blocked by the Wang family. Now the Wang family's attitude towards witches is rather ambiguous. It seems that they want to maintain the status quo and neither support nor oppose witches."

Fili quickly figured it out. After the star beast appeared in this country, the scumbag father must have paid attention to it for a while, but it has been seven years, and no star beast has appeared again, so he didn't continue to pay attention to it. At most, he noticed that Hecate was here.

Knowing that the other party is a big witch, he still gave me a death order to investigate. What was he thinking?

Fili shook her head: "Well, I want to meet my own people now. Do you know where is the most convenient place?"

Cole turned into an emotionless nodding machine: "I only know one place, it's the candy house of the candy witch Charlotte. This witch has a characteristic that she likes to build candy houses everywhere. As long as you look for her in the unfinished candy houses, you will definitely find her."

Candy house? Fili blinked her eyes, thinking that the witches' preferences were really strange. No wonder she had been unable to find the door after coming here for a while.

After that, she listened to Cole's introduction of some witches that appeared more frequently in people's vision. After learning more about them, Fili decided to set out in the afternoon and try to find Charlotte. After all, the witches' banquet was about to begin, and they couldn't run around, right?

Very good, the deceitful witch Fili is about to officially take the stage.

Uh, I always feel like I'm slowly losing something.

Chapter 22 Candy and Glitter

A witch's life is easy, a witch's life is free, a witch's life is carefree.

Every witch has a petite and cute appearance, but people are in awe of them. There is no special reason, it's just that many witches are like children who never grow up, releasing innocent malice.

Just like the curse of turning into a cat, if it is used on an ordinary person and there is no means to break the curse, there is a high probability that they will always be a cat.

Coupled with some early religious propaganda that believed witches were beings who stole the authority of God, and thus hunted and slandered them, people in the world were more in awe of witches.

The witches themselves seemed to have no intention of clarifying the matter, and they did things without any taboos, following their own will. There was indeed evil among them, which led to the fact that even in Miriam, people both respected and feared the witches.

"Hmm~ I'm a free little bird~." Fili thought that witches didn't need to stay at home like this. They should be more proactive and show more kindness to turn their reputation around.

The witches were frightened by the attitude of humans and were too lazy to get along with them. They just moved directly to the familiar forest. People also deliberately kept their distance and did not disturb them, for fear of being cursed like in fairy tales.

The communication between the two sides is getting less and less, while the witches' enemies are spreading rumors in secret, investigating their backgrounds, and waiting for an opportunity to act, which is very unfavorable to the witch group.

Fili doesn't know if there are any witches who share the same ideas as her, but the witch she plays is actively showing her beautiful and kind side to the world, striving to gain enough reputation to become a great witch as soon as possible.

Wait, what is the meaning and value of film if it continues like this? However, now the disguise witch has indeed achieved extremely high cost performance.

Wait a minute, isn't the main quest to get rid of the curse of the family bloodline? However, I just want to get the corresponding magic by being a witch.

It’s so hard to choose.

Well, never mind for now, let’s take advantage of this witch’s banquet to see what happens.

What was Fili doing? She was searching the forest, looking for the candy house of the candy witch Charlotte according to the address given by Cole.

Judging from the description, she is one of the few witches in Miriam who runs a shop. The shop is also handed over to a merchant. She is only responsible for regular supply and earning research funds and materials.

No one knew why Charlotte could make so many delicious candies, and Fili didn't care, but when she saw the candy house with her own eyes, she still felt a sense of admiration for the witch.

This is a perfectly built forest cabin using a combination of various candies. From the fence to the well, everything is made of candies. Every piece of wood, stone brick, and tile exudes the aroma of candy. When you look closer, you can also find tooth marks, tempting Fili to take a small bite.

"You can only look, you can't eat." Suddenly someone spoke behind him.

"I see. This should be your talent." Fili turned around and saw a cute witch who was as delicate as a doll.

The witch took out a lollipop from her pocket and handed it to Fili: "You can eat this."

Fili took the candy and said, "Thank you. As a return gift, I'll give you this bell."

The witch tilted her head while holding the bell and thought: "Bell, if we exchange gifts, then we are friends. I am Charlotte, who are you?"

Fili brushed her hair and said, "Fili, the deceitful witch, come here to find your companions."

Charlotte said, "You are the one who played games with Irene. Irene was so angry that she kept stamping her feet. She looked silly."

Fili raised her finger and said, "The Brilliant Witch. I was invited by her to attend the Witch's Banquet tonight."

Charlotte bit the candy and raised her hand to indicate the direction of her house. "Well, a lot of people will come. We need to look for some bad guys, and then we will get together for tea."

Looking for some bad guys? Fili noticed this and followed Charlotte into the candy house. The sweet smell of sugar was even stronger, and even the bedding and pillows were marshmallows.

Ah haha, I feel like I'm going to get sick just by staying here. I won't want to eat sweets for three days after I get out.

Charlotte spoke slowly and acted slowly, bringing tea and donuts to Fili. "Recently, there are often witches who are not witches coming to this country and trying to sneak into the night banquet, but they can't escape the eyes of Lady Hecate. Don't worry, Fili, you don't have to worry about being hurt here."

Fili took a sip of the tea. Did they kill the candy seller? Or did they use sugar instead of poison? The cup itself was candy, but they added too much sugar. Was they trying to sweeten the visitor to death?

"tasty?"

"Ah~ It may be just right for you, but too sweet for me. Not everyone can adapt to such sweetness."

Charlotte stared at Fili blankly, then lowered her head to look at the teacup, and actually reached out to take the cup back.

"Then I'll drink alone."

"You really are... innocent."

If this were an aristocratic social gathering, it could be seen as a provocation, and the person whose teacup was taken away could throw away his gloves to restore his dignity.

Fili observed Charlotte carefully. As for the witches' minds, theoretically they had all lived for a very long time, at least a hundred years, several times longer than her two lifetimes combined. However, she did not sense their wisdom during the conversation. It was as if they were children who had not grown up, just like their appearance.

How should I put it? According to what Fili knew, the awakening of witches was not determined by blood or knowledge, but was simply a trick of fate. Some children were witches from birth, and no one taught them etiquette and how to interact with others. In addition, sometimes they didn't meet good parents, so they naturally couldn't grow up.

Over time, the shadow of childhood will always hang over the witches, causing them to escape from the crowd. Yes, escape. They subconsciously think that it is normal for humans to be afraid of them, just like throwing stones, and there will be people who will hurt them.

Seeing that Charlotte was just staring at her and had no intention of speaking, Fili had to make small talk: "Charlotte, how long have you been in Miriam?"

Charlotte answered every question: "Four years."

Fili asked again: "What have you been doing during this time?"

Charlotte: "Build a candy house."

Fili: “Always?”

Charlotte: “Always.”

There was silence, the topic could not be continued, and a strange silence enveloped the candy house.

Knock, knock, knock—the sound of knocking on the door interrupted the silence, and then someone pushed the door open.

This is a witch with golden natural curly hair. She is not tall, about 1.40 meters. The witch that Fili disguised as is 1.6 meters tall, which is obviously tall among witches.

The blonde witch was glittering, and her clothes were decorated with various gems. Her identity was easy to guess: "Really? You don't want to leave until the last minute? Get ready to leave for the night banquet. Also, who is this? No, let me guess. I had a hunch when I saw you."

Fili held her face in her hands, "I guess you are the Brilliant Witch? My partner is under your care."

The blonde witch stamped her feet in anger: "Let me tell you first, you must be Fili, I don't know your name, but you suddenly acted in Miriam, which troubled us."

Charlotte raised her hands. "No, it doesn't bother me."

Irene gritted her teeth and said, "I'm troubled. Why should we have good relations with humans? They will think that we witches are easy to talk to!"

Chapter 23 Witch's Banquet

Fili briefly analyzed the two witches, they had distinct personality traits, Charlotte was dull, and Irene spoke more like a tsundere, saying that she hated humans but still interacted with them.

Buy gems, hire thieves, turn Film into a cat.

Just these three things are already considered very impressive among witches. Ordinary witches should be like Charlotte, focusing on what they like and building candy houses every day.

Fili was interested and argued with Irene a little: "Because you can get a lot of information by getting along well with humans. The humans I know are all very friendly."

Irene immediately shot back, "Oh? Really? Wait until you get stabbed from behind and you'll know how painful it is."
