Oops, I became the witch's substitute

Because of this, even if they defeated the evil witch, what would happen? The result of the battle led to the destruction of a village. Do you think humans would praise them or hate them?

Fili tapped the dagger lightly, making a ding sound. In the meantime, the metal man had caught up with her and began a massive attack, like a bulldozer, pushing Fili and the surrounding buildings flat on her back.

He thought that such an attack would prevent Fili from getting close to him, but he heard a "ding" sound in his ear, and suddenly felt his body numb. The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his armpit. Fili missed his fist and stabbed the dagger into his body.

When the metal man was about to turn around, he heard the "ding" sound of the dagger hitting again. His body suddenly stiffened, and then several thin wires wrapped around his neck, cutting the metal skin and causing blood to flow.

"What's going on? I felt something was wrong from the beginning." The metal man was a little confused. His body began to turn red, emitting high temperature and steam, and he grabbed the wires wrapped around his body, trying to tear them apart.

Ding! The strange sound rang out again, and the metal man suddenly found himself restored to his original body, transformed into a thin human. His body and skin became extremely fragile, and the hand holding the thin wire was instantly covered in blood.

Then he felt a sharp pain in his legs as different daggers pierced his feet and knees.

"What's going on? Why are you standing there? Don't be fooled. Your opponent is an expert at illusion." Hearing his companion's voice, the metal man made up his mind. Yes, it was all an illusion. His real body wouldn't be so fragile. So he gathered all his strength and tried to break free from the thin wire.

However, his body was then cut by thin strings like a puppet and scattered all over the floor.

In fact, from the witch's perspective, the metal man had been frozen since a while ago, struggling on the spot for no apparent reason, allowing Fili to move around and entangle him tightly with countless thin threads.

It’s so weird. The situation that was evenly matched just now suddenly collapsed.

No, let's leave here first.

The witch threw down two bottles of potion to cover her and flew out of the alley.

Ding! There was a strange knocking sound of a dagger, and the witch suddenly found herself back in the alley. Fili had already dealt with the metal man and rushed towards her.

"It's a strange illusion. Concentrate." The witch patted her cheeks, gathered her magic power, and cast a spell to dispel it.

The witch felt as if the clouds had cleared and the sun had appeared in her mind. She felt that the illusion had been lifted, and she dodged Fili's dagger while running out of the village.

The sound of the dagger striking rang out again. The witch was slightly startled and found that she had escaped from the village, but Fili appeared in front of her. She felt a strange heaviness in her body and could no longer fly.

"I don't understand. What is this?" The witch raised her hand, ready to throw out more potions, but her hand lost consciousness. She raised her arm and saw it turned into countless petals that scattered. She raised her foot and it also turned into petals. Then all her limbs disappeared. She could only fall to the grass and struggle. She looked up at Fili who was close at hand, powerlessly. "This is the power of the Tao... Are you the witch of illusion?"

Fili said, pulling the thin string in her hand and strangling the witch's neck: "Just take it as it is."

The witch knew she was in trouble this time: "It seems that it is difficult to hear the truth from you. You are not an ordinary witch at all. Let's make a deal. Let me go and I will tell you a secret, a secret of being promoted from a transcendent to a hero."

Fili shrugged and raised the dagger: "I don't care."

The witch revealed a look of understanding: "I see, we have fallen into Yingjie's hands this time, hehe, how unlucky."

Fili turned the dagger over and smashed the handle into the back of the witch's head.

The witch was captured successfully.

Fili tied the two captives up like cocoons and breathed a sigh of relief. At least she had stopped them from destroying the village. Apart from the alley at the beginning, there was no other loss.

In addition, many strange potions were seized from the witches. Fili could feel the huge magic power in a bottle she picked up at random. If it really exploded in the crowd, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Is it over here? It seems there is no chance for me to perform." Serena came from a distance, and it seemed that it was over for her as well.

"Why did you come back so soon?" Fili looked at Serena, who was holding a girl whose life or death was unknown in her arms.

Serena looked down at the girl in her arms. "Isn't it this child? When she first appeared, she was a Frost Dragon. Her attack was fierce, but I only defended her a few times and she ran out of strength. Now she is like this. Can she be saved?"

Fili had no better idea: "I don't know, take it back to Hecate to see."

Serena shrugged. "To be honest, I was quite nervous when I saw the dragon-type monster rushing out. If it was a poisonous dragon, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stop it. It's obviously chasing after food. If I can't stop it, it will rush towards the village."

"Are you nervous? Then how did you stop her?" Fili put away the dagger and dragged the two captives, looking quite struggling to do so.

"Thinking that you were by my side, I wasn't so nervous anymore. That's how I stopped her."

Chapter 33: Even Witches Have Poor Guys

Afterwards, Serena carried the two captives away, one in her left hand and one in her right hand, and it looked as easy as carrying chickens and ducks home.

How strong is the Knight Princess? Never mind, I won't think about it. I just know that Serena has the strength to stop the dragon chariot.

"You white witches, getting so close to humans, you will sooner or later be betrayed by humans. Humans are so fickle...ah!" The captured witch wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a slap from Fili.

Fili was bored: "Here comes the same theory again. Can't you use your brain to think about the reasons why humans are fickle?"

"...What are you thinking about?" The Black Witch was hit in the back and suddenly at a loss. It was obvious that she was stunned. In the past, even her mother didn't dare to hit her like this.

Fili didn't know how much psychological damage this slap had caused to the witch in front of her.

Fili put her hands on her hips and said, "Of course it's life span. The average human only lives for a hundred years, and the stronger ones can live to two or three hundred years old. But we can live for thousands of years. Let me ask you, have you ever been borrowed money by a human, but you didn't ask for it back for a long time, and finally found that the human had forgotten about it?"

The black witch nodded blankly: "Yes."

Fili sighed: "You black witches just can't think straight. You want humans to keep their promises, but you've never thought about how humans keep their promises. You think humans are fickle, but how can they not change after two or three generations? Please use your brains before you draw conclusions."

The Black Witch said indignantly: "Humans often expel us under different banners."

Fili pointed to the ruins behind her and said, "Because there are so many people like you, who else should humans expel if not you?"

Maleficent became frustrated: "This is just a means to collect debts."

Fili had a bad feeling: "...Don't tell me you're just here to collect a debt."

No matter what problem this guy has, now Fili has to deal with the aftermath. She has to capture the evil witch in the name of the witch, and that's all. As for the damage, Fili looked back at the black witch's pocket and found a bag of money. After bargaining with the village chief to make up for the loss, the matter was settled.

Next, it’s time to escort this witch back.

……

Hecate was a little surprised. She vaguely felt that Fili was a lively witch, but she didn't expect her to be so efficient.

"It's only been a few days, and you've already caught the suspect?" Hecate initially thought that this matter would take at least ten days or half a month to make any progress, but she didn't expect that after just a day or two, Fili had caught the suspect.

Fili was not satisfied, because the witch was very stubborn, and her partner's brain was not working well after the transformation, so she had not gotten any useful information. "Well, it's just suspicion. According to the time and place, these two guys are the most likely to commit the crime. How about you interrogate them?"

Hecate had her own trick: "Leave it to me, then..."

Fili handed the person over to Hecate: "Yes, I will approach the spy next and give you news in a few days. By the way, what will happen to this witch in the future?"

Hecate replied: "First interrogate, then imprison. I will personally cast a spell to put him to sleep and then lock him up in the dungeon of the kingdom."

Fili said that this was really unprofessional. She would rather Hecate sign a receipt to indicate that the prisoner had been delivered. This was more in line with custom. Otherwise, if the prisoner escaped from prison in the future, she wouldn't know whose fault it was.

The second of Hecate's three requests has been completed. Next, I will investigate myself, and Fili can go back to the hotel and take her time.

Of course, she couldn't slack off and started writing the letter immediately.

Feilin: "We have achieved brilliant results in our undercover work until today. The witch we bribed has gained the trust of the local witches, and now we have obtained some of the witches' research results. Please study carefully. If the alchemy bottle is damaged, it will trigger a magic reaction. Hecate lives in seclusion and rarely shows up among the witches. I heard that some research is presided over by Hecate. Perhaps the witch will know more details."

Finally, Feilin summarized: "Our base has made progress in its efforts to infiltrate witches. We recently discovered a witch who is in urgent need of research funds. Through contact with her, we have increased our infiltration of the witch organization. Speaking of which, the intelligence system is currently being hampered. The leader of our base, Mr. Ma Wen, has recently fallen ill. He has a magical disease, and the speed of transmitting intelligence may be affected. I will find a way to solve it."

This time the letter mainly contained mailed items. Fili picked out a few alchemical props of the Black Witch and sent them to the family. This month's lurking also had some useful information delivered.

Next, Filin tried to create a new account and write letters to his family in a different tone.

Dragon Witch Scathach: "We gather once a year to hold a night banquet in the Witch Forest? If you want to know what we do specifically, I discuss academic research with my fellow witches at the night banquet. The witches here worship knowledge very much and will actively ask questions about Hecate. The essence of the night banquet is to answer questions and resolve doubts centered on Hecate."

Gem Witch Lin Dilinlin: "Filin promised to provide us with gems to sustain our research, so I reluctantly agreed to your request. First of all, I will never betray any of my compatriots unless you give us high-quality gems. Secondly, I will not provide any magic literature unless you pay me more. Finally, I will not deliberately approach Lady Hecate, but if you pay me, I can provide Hecate's whereabouts within a reasonable range."

After writing the letters, Fili took out the calendar and marked different dates on each letter.

For now, just give the family two small ones, and consider the long-term benefits. Otherwise, if you feed the family too much, they might ask for more and make more excessive demands.

Finally, Philly needs to set up a foreshadowing for Ma Wen. It would be better for her boss, who is both dead and alive, to die. Only if she dies will Philin have the greatest power. Otherwise, she will have to make up reasons to refuse every time the family's merchants come.

Although the deceptive clone can temporarily play the role of Ma Wen, he lacks understanding of this person and can only see his spiritual state. It is inevitable that there will be mistakes in his role-playing, so it is better to make him sick.

Everything has been going well recently and Feilin is in a good mood.

Today he returned to his original state, made himself breakfast after a long time, tasted the delicious food, and then was attracted by the laughter and playing sounds in the backyard.

Fili took a temporary vacation and existed in a substitute state, playing with Scathach for a while, and the little dragon lady was happy with it.

In fact, most of the learning tasks that Feilin arranged for Xiaolong Niang were entertaining and educational, which were fun and could help her improve her skills. Unfortunately, Xiaolong Niang was unmoved, or perhaps she was born a fool.

In addition, Scathach should not be an ordinary dragon girl. When capturing Maleficent a few days ago, Selena brought back a girl who turned into a dragon, but she died due to serious injuries. The injuries they suffered when they turned into dragons will be fed back to their original bodies, or it can be said that it is a high-quality transformation, and the original body turns into a dragon.

Although both of them turned into dragons, the little dragon girl regained consciousness through the dragon stone and saved her life, while the other poor girls could not even survive until the time of treatment, which is somewhat regrettable.

There may be a bigger secret behind this child.

dong dong dong-

"Sir Philin, are you there?" It was Knight Princess.

"Yes." Feilin opened the drawer, took the letters on the table, and pretended to tidy up the account books. "Knight Serena, what can I do for you?"

Serena hesitated at first, but soon regained her resolve: "I want to ask what we're having for lunch today, and... um. What does Miss Fili usually like to eat?"

"Fili, she prefers chicken stewed with mushrooms." Feilin had forgotten what he liked to eat, but just thought about the witch's hobby. It must be related to mushrooms, right?

"Then let's have chicken stewed with mushrooms for lunch. I also want to try Fili's favorite food."

"Uh... okay." Filin felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what. He just felt like Serena was testing his boundaries little by little.

Myself? Fili? Hmm...

Feilin lay on the table with his head in his hands.

"Do I really think of myself as a witch?"

Chapter 34 Scathach's Doubts

The hotel seemed to have become Feilin's second "cage". She had to feed two foodies, big and small, and deal with all kinds of repeat customers. Only by turning into a witch could she have space to move freely.

Why did the substitute become more carefree than the original so quickly?

Sitting in the room, Filin watched Scathach pestering Fili in the morning, watched Serena pass Fili water, pour tea and serve chicken stewed with mushrooms at noon, watched Fili play the piano in the hotel and attracted applause from the whole room in the afternoon, and watched Serena ask Fili to go shopping in the evening.

The witch's fulfilling life makes Filin feel satisfied, but this satisfaction can only be obtained from a stand-in, and still lacks realism.

"Ah, there's no hope. I'm actually jealous of the stand-in I created." Filin, who had been peeling potatoes all day, lamented that life was not easy. He just didn't have ideal talent, but he was an excellent young man.

If nothing unexpected had happened, Feilin could have lived a carefree harem life like the protagonist, but the result was that she wandered for twenty years without meeting a wise master.

It’s all the family’s fault, explode, reality!

Knock, knock, knock - the fast-paced knocking on the door dragged Filin back to reality.

Before Filin could say come in, the girl outside pushed the door open by herself. It was Scathach.

"What do you want from me so late at night? Also, you should wait for the master's response before coming in. What if I'm changing clothes one day?" Feilin didn't have the energy to complain.

"Who wants to watch you change clothes?" Scathach crossed her arms, looking reluctant. "Well, you've known Sister Fili for so long, do you know what kind of flowers she likes?"

"Then just ask Fili directly, why are you asking me...?" Fili thought with tears in his eyes.

I don’t know what kind of flowers I like, but I also want a cute girl to give me flowers.

The life in the family's semi-cage dulled Filin's interests and hobbies, and it was only recently that he rekindled his expectations for life.

So when faced with Scathach's question, he only thought for a moment and came up with the answer: "Fili should like irises, you often get close to her, don't you know that she uses iris perfume?"

That's right, Fili can use perfume, because the witch substitute is the ideal witch conceived by Fili, so Fili uses all the skills of a beautiful girl, striving for authenticity and surpassing ordinary witches.

Scathach suddenly looked at Felix seriously: "How do you know so much? And you said you have no idea about Sister Felix? Do you follow and spy on Sister Felix whenever you have time and collect her preferences?"

Feilin almost choked: "I'm so busy every day, how much communication do I have with Feili?"

Scathach said, "Oh!" Then she thought about it again and realized something was wrong. "You and Sister Fili rarely communicate, how do you know what flowers she likes? I clearly feel that the scent on Sister's body is different from before. Can I guess it just by the perfume?"

Feilin held his forehead, feeling a headache. Little Dragon Lady was at a loss: "How about this, you buy gifts and send flowers according to your own ideas. Feili will definitely be very happy to receive your gifts."

These words sounded like a compliment. Scathach was happy for a few seconds, then looked at Filin again: "You have helped me a lot, and you cook delicious food every day. What gift do you want?"

Feilin thought the kid had a good conscience: "Everything is fine. I don't have any desires or requests."

Scathach looked suspicious again: "A man who claims to be selfless must have other intentions. I heard from Sister Serena that you were also born into a noble family. Could it be that you really want to pursue Fili?"

Feilin almost broke the pen in his hand. This little dragon lady is so annoying!

Feilin couldn't stand it any longer: "Okay, stop it. Have you finished your homework today? I remember the homework Feili assigned to you recently. It not only includes physical fitness training, but also reading and literacy, right? You ran so fast today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a whoosh and the door was empty.

Xiao Longniang slipped away as if escaping a disaster.

When will this child become more stable? Feilin really wants Xiaolongniang to inherit this hotel so that he can be a hands-off manager.

Judging from her current training, apart from putting up a notice in the kitchen stating that dogs and Scathach are not allowed, the little dragon girl has basically no chance of running an inn.

After so many days, isn't it time to hire some ordinary people?

Feilin still runs his business alone, so he is naturally unable to handle everything. The reason why he did not hire ordinary workers is that he is worried about the family's reaction. If someone comes to inspect one day, many things will be wrong, and he will have to kill people to silence them.
