Oops, I became the witch's substitute

What Fili feared the most was the aura of the succubus girl. She didn't expect to meet a strong person of the same level in such a place. She could only sigh that with the popularization of education nowadays, strong people have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and there are so many of them.

The wizard was naturally startled, he hadn't heard the footsteps of someone approaching: "Wow, when did you, a succubus, get closer?"

Fili sighed, "It showed up when you were showing your loyalty."

The succubus unexpectedly glanced at Fili. Unlike Fili who saw through her, she saw Fili's blurry image and could not judge her specific strength, but she roughly knew that she was a witch: "Well, there are rarely witches on this street, let alone such a beautiful witch. As long as you appear here, the radar of my pure girl will be activated without authorization, and I will follow you involuntarily."

Fili did not point out the other party's strength: "It's very troublesome that you come here uninvited."

The succubus said bluntly: "To be honest, seeing that you are observing the Dream Demon Court, we are in competition with that store. If Miss Witch is arresting some criminals, we can provide you with some convenience."

Fili understood immediately: "The more chaotic the better the convenience?"

The succubus opened a fan and said, "The Dream Court is harboring dangerous criminals, but the succubus is actively helping the witches solve the case. Is there any more interesting news than this?"

Fili pondered for a moment: "Are you the Succubus Queen?"

The succubus smiled without saying anything, but the wizard reacted.

"I remember now. You are the overlord of this street. You provide meticulous service to customers. Men and women alike linger here. People who have been to your store enter sage mode and don't want to go to other stores that day. People who are used to the stimulation of succubus will never forget that feeling and will go to your store next time. Through this model, you have annexed other competitors."

The succubus took it as a compliment and accepted it all: "That's right, but recently a group of annoying people have appeared. They absorb the essence of customers by providing dream services. As a result, many customers have lost their appetite and spirits, which indirectly affects our store, and..."

Fili looked at the succubus: "It's been a bit rough lately, isn't it?"

The succubus smiled and said, "In this day and age, no one likes peace more than us. Only peace and stability can bring us a steady stream of customers."

This is true. Strictly speaking, succubus and nightmares are demons. The thousand-year war that swept the world in the past history also caused real fighting between humans and demons. Even now, there are still churches that expel them, believing that their existence will reduce the human fertility rate or something. Just like the persecution of witches, demons are also persecuted.

However, the relationship between witches and demons is quite good. Humans treat demons as slaves, while witches treat them as familiars.

After all, demons with natural human form are more suitable for taking care of witches.

Fili patted the wizard on the shoulder. Since a collaborator had come to her doorstep, she must make good use of him. So she asked the wizard to describe the person he was looking for in detail. The Succubus Queen couldn't help but frown after hearing this.

"I think I know this person. He owes a lot of money to our store and is arrogant and rude. He has been blacklisted by us. How could such a person embark on a criminal path? That's great. It's really interesting that the nightmare is harboring a cowardly criminal. I will help you determine his whereabouts."

Now that the cooperation has been confirmed, Fili extends her hand to the succubus: "I am the Witch of Deception, Fili."

The succubus held Fili's hand and said, "Well, our name is Arabelle."

It was a polite handshake, but when letting go, the succubus scratched Fili's palm.

Fili glanced at Arabelle inexplicably. What did this mean? When she looked at Arabelle, the succubus gave her a charming and inviting look.

Is it suitable for both men and women?

Chapter 48 Succubus and Incubus

The differences in skin color and race among humans are just like that, but when it comes to the demons, sometimes different races look like different species. All kinds of monster girls, demons, and night people put together are simply a hodgepodge of biological encyclopedias.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there seems to be no difference between succubus and nightmares. In fact, they themselves feel the difference. A nightmare has curly horns like sheep's horns and a cute tail, and is similar to ordinary people in other aspects. A succubus has devil wings and a devil tail, and is similar to ordinary people in other aspects... Even so, there is a long-term competitive relationship between nightmares and succubi.

The two races seemed to be competing with each other to crush each other in terms of charm. This competition was limited to these two races and was a strange kind of competitiveness.

For example, Arabelle would not be jealous of Fili's beauty, but would always try to invite Fili.

Arabelle looked at Fili, who was always smiling: "Would you like to have a cup of tea in our store? Don't worry, it's just an ordinary coffee shop. We also run general-oriented places, and the money is flowing in."

Fili didn't say anything. Seeing this, the wizard took over the conversation: "Well, please..."

Arabelle's voice suddenly turned cold: "You were not invited, little wizard."

The wizard hung his head. "One misstep will lead to eternal regret. Two missteps will lead to imprisonment. Even the succubus looks down on me..."

Fili crossed her arms and decided to cooperate. She would trust Arabelle's words for the time being. Anyway, she was confident that she could escape if danger occurred, and she was not afraid of any conspiracy or tricks from the other party. As for drinking tea or something, of course she would use some tricks before she completely trusted Arabelle.

Even though Miriam seems peaceful, these border cities are relatively chaotic and often roamed by human traffickers. A fairy who goes out may be drugged in the morning and appear on the slave black market in the afternoon, so it's always better to be careful.

Fili noticed that Arabelle was looking at her eagerly, so she had to shake her head. "Forget about resting. I plan to go around the city before I find that person."

Arabelle continued to try: "Miss Fili, are you new here?"

Fili raised her eyebrows. She felt that this succubus had some hidden meaning in her words. "So what?"

Arabelle walked to the front with her hands behind her back, bowed slightly, and made an invitation gesture: "My tribe has been operating in this city for many years. No one is more familiar with the environment here than us. I will be your guide and take you wherever you want."

Fili was silent for a moment, then asked Arabelle, "Let me ask you a question. Do I look like a witch?"

Arabelle poked her cheek with her fingertips. “That’s a question that’s not entirely true.”

Fili smiled softly: "Actually I'm not a witch, I'm just using magic to disguise myself. I'm very good at illusions."

Arabelle was stunned for two seconds, then nodded with a smile: "I understand."

The people in this world seem to have inherent ideas. Those who are strong in martial arts are not very good at magic, and those who are good at magic are not very familiar with martial arts. Even the so-called magic swordsmen have their own biases.

A witch sounds like someone who is good at magic. In fact, some witches have figured out their own fighting methods that use magic to strengthen their bodies, and their fighting skills are no worse than those using magic.

The commercial areas here are divided into several types. There are also a large number of streets outside the city walls, expanding in circles. The architectural styles outside the city are also varied, basically covering all races on the land.

Because of these reasons, chaos is almost inevitable. However, the lords just sit at home and make money, and don't seem to have any intention of improving the current situation, resulting in some foreign races becoming very powerful in the local area, such as succubi.

Just by listening to Arabelle's introduction, Fili imagined that they were involved in both the black and white worlds. They ran many formal shops, as well as some less formal ones, which was just like her saying that money was flowing in. According to her, Miriam's industry was just the tip of the iceberg, and her family had branches in various countries.

Fili made a rough comparison and found that although both of them had heroes as regional leaders, her own family was indeed stronger. These succubi might have produced many strong men, but they did not control the army after all.

But what is counterintuitive is that succubi like Arabelle actually prefer order, as if order can bring them a better life. Otherwise, succubi can only be vassals of the strong.

Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Demon kings are often born among the demons, and in times of war, none of these people are easy to mess with.

When they passed by a gorgeous-looking tailor shop, Arabelle came over and took Fili's arm, scaring Fili so much that she almost took out a dagger: "Fili Fili~ Do you want to go to our clothing store and take a look?"

Fili had a headache. She really hated people who had no sense of boundaries, but the strong people in this world often crossed other people's boundaries: "What you want to do is written on your face."

"Ah la la la, really? What do we want to do?"

"I'm not your changing doll."

"Oh, I've been seen through, but you're really beautiful. Unlike those generally smaller witches, you're much more mature than them. How about I give you a few nice dresses and ask you to be a model for our store?"

"No need to discuss anything other than cooperation."

Arabelle tried to lie on Fili's shoulder, but Fili dodged her. One has to sigh that succubus are really clingy.

Are they so familiar with each other?

Suddenly, Fili noticed that Arabelle stopped, and a succubus dressed as an older sister also stopped in front of her.

"I was wondering who it was. Isn't this the gorilla girl? You violent maniac is harassing her again... No, this lady is a witch, right? Harassing a witch is a crime in this country." The nightmare demon opposite raised his chin, using his height as an advantage to look down at Arabelle.

Arabelle had a completely fake smile on her face. "If we talk about crime, you guys are the best at fake business. No one is better at getting something for nothing from customers than you, right?"

"It depends on who is more harmful to the customers. I think Yemeng Pavilion should be closed for endangering personal safety. The real charm is to give customers everything they want."

"Indulging in false fantasies and making people feel lost is the greatest harm to customers."

"Even under a fake starry sky, guests have dreams. You guys are eating and taking advantage of guests, and you're really shameless."

For some reason, these two guys started arguing with each other.

Fili took a quick look and was about to leave, but she found that the wizard next to her stopped where he was.

"What catches your eyes?"

"Isn't it interesting when women quarrel? Uh, I mean, Sister Fili, I have nothing to do right now, so I will..."

Fili put her hand against the wizard's throat, but what she got was the cold temperature of a dagger. The dagger hidden in her sleeve could take the wizard's life at any time.

"Don't forget your identity. We are actually wandering around the Dream Court. Remember the terrain around here. It may save your life if you are in danger."

Chapter 49: Witch's Efficiency

Fili surveyed the surrounding environment and finally decided to hire a carriage and hide in it.

There is nothing much to sort out about the current situation. I have a general idea of ​​where the criminal will go as the wizard said, and I just need to wait there. The only surprise is that the succubus may want to make a big news, and I don't know what measures she will take.

The reason why she chose to cooperate with the succubus was actually that Fili wanted to expand her interpersonal relationships. Arabelle was very good in terms of strength and could be the queen of the local nightclub. She might also be familiar with the black market. She wanted to go to the black market later to see if she could buy rare mushrooms.

Fili waited quietly in the carriage. It was almost evening when she saw Arabelle appear. There was a slap mark on the succubus's face. It seemed that she and the nightmare were not just quarreling.

"I'm so angry. That three thousand year old woman, does she still think she's young?" Arabelle squeezed into the carriage, immediately put on a smile and moved closer to Fili. "Hey, Miss Fili, aren't you going to continue shopping?"

Fili tried to hide, but there was no space in the carriage, so she had no choice but to show her dagger: "Stop it, our cooperation today is only to catch the criminal, don't test me too much."

Arabelle slowly placed her fingertips on the dagger, "You are a witch, I am a succubus, don't you want a succubus familiar?"

Familiar? Speaking of this, Fili was furious. Now the main body was almost assumed to be the witch's familiar. Although everyone knew it was a joke, the actual functions were the same. How could this be possible! ?

However, raising a familiar is a very troublesome thing. The familiar will become a flaw and also the witch's privacy. Fili is not used to having such a close thing.

Fili replied calmly: "I don't understand, do you want to be a slave?"

Arabelle moved the dagger away. "Do you have any misunderstandings about familiars? They are the partners and friends of witches. Succubi and witches can become the closest girls and share each other's secrets..."

Fili interrupted her decisively: "I don't know any witch who keeps succubi in captivity. There must be a reason for this, like they're annoying or something."

Arabelle was enough to observe the full picture of the succubus. This woman had been chattering non-stop since they met, as noisy as five hundred ducks, as if the two had known each other for many years. Arabelle tried her best to be attentive as a host, and Fili was 99% wary of such people.

Most witches like quietness. They stay at home to sleep or read and don't like to be disturbed. The elves will give a thumbs up when seeing this. It is said that only one-fifth of the witches in the country come to the witch's night banquet.

To what extent are these witches homebodies? As you can see from the previous article, they have turned a place known as the witch country into an urban legend, to the extent that ordinary people may not see a witch for several years or even decades.

Just like witches are naturally solitary, although not all witches do not interact with humans, there are really few who do.

Arabelle cried out, "You misunderstood me. I only pay special attention to beautiful young ladies. If you don't believe me, you can ask Hecate. I treated her the same way when she first arrived. Succubi and witches are good friends. We should get to know each other more often."

Fili shook her head and now looked at the mage: "It's evening, it's almost time, you, I'll let you make amends for your crime, are you willing?"

The wizard stood up straight in a hurry, then poked his head through the ceiling of the carriage with a bang, and then he took great effort to pull it out: "I am willing, a thousand times willing, I can do anything you ask me to do, just don't torture me." He was impressed by these witches. He didn't know whether they were strong or not, but their methods of torturing people were more exaggerated than each other.

Fili pointed at the main city area and said, "Get yourself hurt, then go to the Sheriff's Office and report it while wailing. Just say that there's a particularly vicious murderer hiding in the Dream Court. You can make up anything you want, as long as the sheriff investigates it."

The wizard took out a red blood bag from his pocket: "I understand, this is easy, I will definitely take care of it."

Fili looked at Arabelle again. "So, what do you think?"

Arabelle thought for a moment, then clenched her fists. "Mage over there, take this magic item. Don't rush to call the police. Once I confirm who you are looking for, I will crush the talisman and then you can act. I will then set fire to the Dream Court. Haha, I have wanted to do this for a long time."

This is actually a business war, right?

There is fierce competition in the succubus and nightmare industry.

The plan was not complicated. They would take action after dark. Arabelle also gave Fili a talisman, and then they would just have to wait for news.

Soon, Fili was the only one left in the carriage. When the time was almost up, she left an illusion in the carriage and quietly came to the vicinity of the Dream Demon Court and hid herself, spreading out her perception area to investigate the guests coming and going.

According to common sense, it is hard to convince people with just a verbal agreement since they just met Arabelle today and immediately discussed something as serious as murder and arson. It is also a bit far-fetched for Arabelle to say that she would attack a business rival. So, the only person Fili can trust is herself.

No matter what the wizard does or what the succubus's purpose is, she will eventually complete the task away from everyone's sight. Catching the criminal is the real job.

However, when she was studying at home, she seemed to have seen the so-called racial affinity theory, which is the theory that some races naturally have a favorable impression on another race. Since it was a miscellaneous book and had not been confirmed, Fili only studied it once and then threw it away. Her time was precious in the past, so she seldom read such books.

In short, let's try to capture Mediya successfully tonight and catch her by her tail.

Fili squatted quietly on the tallest building near the Dream Demon Court. No one noticed her presence. She blended into the night sky like a chameleon. Most of those who came and went in the Dream Demon Court were adventurers with some abilities. Their magic power level was generally low. Occasionally, there were a few powerful and unruly people. Fili would pay close attention to them.

Suddenly, Fili sensed that Arabelle's spell was vibrating slightly, which was a hint that the target mission had appeared.

So fast, Fili hurriedly focused her attention on the people who had just entered. Among them was a lone traveler, who seemed to be a regular customer and a warlock. His magic reaction was obscure, and it was difficult to judge his true strength before approaching. The reason why Fili locked on this person was because she had a dispute with the receptionist of the Dream Demon Court. It turned out that she brought too little money and wanted to owe a debt. As a result, the little Dream Demon persuaded her to hand over her silver pocket watch.

"..." Fili was speechless.

For magic professions, they often do research and conduct magic experiments. For magic research that is accurate to milliseconds, researchers usually build a pocket watch specifically for themselves. More professional people will even make their own pocket watches and only use time units they are familiar with to keep it confidential.

One can imagine the importance of a pocket watch to a magic professional. The first thing the mage captive did after being released was to beg Hecate to return the pocket watch to him.

So Fili paid more attention to the warlock who pawned the pocket watch. He perfectly fit the characteristics of being lustful as described by the captives, and also the characteristics of being in debt as described by Arabelle. In addition, his magical reaction was powerful but obscure. This person was most likely the target Walter.

What a carefree person.

Just as Fili was about to take action, a mushroom cloud suddenly appeared on the roof of the Dream Demon Court.

"Fire!!!" With shouts of fear, the guests fled one after another. Those dressed and those naked ran into the streets. The scene was particularly spectacular, like the migration of elephants of all sizes. There were also many nightmare demons chasing after them and demanding money.

Upon seeing this, the wizard who had pawned his pocket watch snatched his pocket watch from the nightmare girl who had been trying to coax him into submission and ran away.

Fili thought to herself that it was at this moment, and after the mage ran some distance, Fili quietly appeared behind him.

"Hey, Walter, this way!"
