Oops, I became the witch's substitute

Using the strength of two people to fight against an army of 70,000 doesn't seem that scary.

Chapter 67: Of course, the one I want to protect is Fili

"I'm still not strong enough."

At the moment her head was chopped off, Serena's brain felt intense pain, but the pain center was quickly paralyzed.

"That light in the sky is so beautiful. I seem to be getting closer and closer to it, but I can't see the ground..."

Serena closed her eyes, feeling the peace of death, but the next moment she heard someone calling her in her ear. It was not her father, but a familiar voice.

"Serena, don't fall asleep!" Fili said anxiously.

Serena opened her eyes and found herself lying on Fili's lap.

Fili breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, you finally woke up."

Serena felt a little unreal, but just as she was about to get up, she suddenly relaxed and lay down, feeling Fili's softness.

Fili's thighs were just a little fleshy, and her well-trained muscles felt very comfortable as a pillow.

Serena's voice was tired: "I seem to have had a very long dream."

Fili stroked her hair gently: "Well, what you see and hear is fake, but the experience is real."

Serena closed her eyes and placed a hand on her forehead: "I can't tell reality from reality anymore. Is this the afterlife?"

Fili scratched her cheek and said, "Hey, that's why I didn't want to give it to you rashly. Sure enough, there will be such a problem. Do you still remember what I asked you to write before the dream?"

There are thousands of ways to use deception, and making people unable to distinguish between reality and illusion is just one of them. It is the best way to deal with emotionally complex creatures like humans.

It was because the illusion was so real to Serena that the experience seemed to have become a part of her life, and her efforts and enlightenment were real.

Serena was not a pretentious person. She lay down for a while, took out the message from her arms, and read it word by word several times to make sure she had returned to reality.

Serena was a little weak now: "Has anything changed?"

Fili supported her: "What do you think? Close your eyes and feel it."

The reason why people gave the name "Transcendence" is because after crossing that boundary, one reaches a completely different realm. There is no doubt that Serena now can easily defeat ten of her previous selves.

"Death is like a heavy and clean fruit. I just ate it and it healed my illness. Thank you, Fili, for making me feel so lucky to be alive and see you."

"Well, where are your family members?"

"It's nice to see them again, too, but you're different."

"Is it……"

Fili wanted to ask what was different.

"Hehe~ What interesting things are you doing? Just now a strong wave of magic swept through the hotel. Is it a promotion?" Enil, who pretended to be cute, appeared. "It seems that we have to congratulate Knight Serena. The promotion to the Transcendent has mastered his own path and came to the same world as us."

"I am still very weak. I can't be as calm as you, Miss Ernie."

"Really? Don't underestimate yourself, you are very good."

After saying that, Enier jumped away again, as if he just came to take a look.

Serena closed her eyes, but she could sense the structure of the entire hotel. Enil, with his powerful magic, calmly went up to the second floor and found Filin's room. Looking at the others, Nishinoka was busy in the kitchen, and Scathach was doing homework. There were only two people in the entire hotel who were invisible.

One was Filin, the other was Fili. Especially Fili, even though she was so close, she could only feel nothingness.

Fili is very special, and Lord Flin is also... Serena shook her head, then patted her face. She really felt different from before. The magic power in her body was more condensed, and she could control the magic power to attach to weapons at any time. She felt her body was connected with the earth.

"Serena, from now on you must keep it a secret. Even I can't tell you what your path is." Fili pointed to her head. "From now on, your life and death will largely depend on intelligence. There is no absolutely invincible talent or ability in this world. There is only the iron law of mutual restraint. An ability that seems to be devastating may be restrained by an ability that seems ordinary. In short, anything is possible."

Serena scratched her head. "Even if you say so, I don't really understand what my abilities are."

Fili gently pulled Serena's hand. Serena was startled for a moment, then closed her eyes and accepted Fili's guidance.

"Come on, try to think about what your heart desires most."

After Fili finished speaking, Serena thought carefully about what she wanted most.

I'm not the one who can save you.

Thinking of this, Serena hugged Fili tightly. What she wanted most in her heart was to protect Fili and her family.

"The shape of a city wall!" There seemed to be a flash of light in her mind. She reached out and embraced the light. The magic power on Selena's body suddenly unfolded and spread around, eventually forming a city gate that was more than 20 meters high and nearly 100 meters long. She stood in front of the city gate to guard everything behind her.

Fili was shocked. This is not a combination skill. Why are you hugging me? What did you see in the illusion? Isn't it the territory and family you want to protect?

Of course, we all know that territory and family are important, but love is harder to come by...right? Probably.

The sudden change surprised the residents of the city, but thankfully it came and went quickly, and Serena already knew her path.

In Feilin's room, Enil looked at the scene outside the window, turned around and said, "Brother, you must pay attention to those two people, especially Feili. She is cultivating her own power and is a very dangerous person, just like you."

Feilin sighed. It seemed that his little sister was at odds with Feili. She was always observing "him" and was telling tales like this for more than one or two days.

Feilin also knew that his sister had good intentions: "What did you find out?"

Since Enil had only seen part of the power of deception, she already felt it was very strong and took that as the whole. Therefore, when she saw Fili's ability, she had more things to imagine and speculate: "Her illusion ability is different from yours. If I say that it is easy for her to replace anyone in this world, will you still feel at ease to cooperate with her, brother?"

Feilin pretended to be relaxed: "I know my limits. The power of the witch is indispensable to us. We can use the witch's magic to break free from the shackles of the blood curse, and then we can fight back, or resist the earl. Do you think we can stay safe forever?"

Enier hesitated and turned to talk about another matter: "Some outsiders have contacted us recently and hope that we can help them. Brother, can you guess who it is?"

Feilin glanced at his little sister and said, "Is it the Arians sect that made you mention it?"

Filin doesn't like extreme religion. It's like a hedgehog that's far away in the sky, but when you get close, it crawls into your crotch.

Enier was surprised and said, "That's right. It seems that my brother has a keen sense of smell. Yes, they are here and they seem to be taking some actions against the witch group. What do you think we should do?"

After a brief thought, Filin suddenly opened the drawer, took out an envelope, and prepared to write a letter to his family.

The general meaning is: "The Saint Arius sect seems to have discovered traces of the star beast and is ready to make a move at the border of Miriam."

Chapter 68 Star Beast Fragments

Star beasts are important strategic resources, but they are also terrifying beasts. They are monsters from the starry sky. Over the eternity of time, countless meteorites have fallen on this planet, but the ancient star beasts will not disappear inexplicably.

All in all, from ancient times to the present, there have been some fallen stars that turned into beasts and crashed too deep into the ground, embedding themselves in the ground and going dormant.

Humans love to dig up ruins, build mazes, conduct archaeology, and mark out territories, mostly because of the existence of the "fallen star beast". The family's main focus is also in this area, analyzing massive amounts of literature and conducting investigations every day.

Compared with the worldwide intelligence network, Miriam, a remote small country that has been silent for too long, will not be taken seriously.

of course there are exceptions.

Filin plans to manipulate this intelligence and cannot let Miriam become the main battlefield, otherwise the family will directly send people to take charge of the overall situation. Filin has to divert attention to his colleagues.

I'm sorry, the intelligence chief of the Arian Holy Kingdom, the star beast is about to appear on your side.

Philin wanted to sow discord between the family and the Church of Saint Arius. The best outcome for both sides was a direct fight. There were more than one reason for the fight. One was that they were rivals. Two was the feud between the mage and the inquisitor. Three was that the family members liked to fight. Four was that they could find the star beasts to reap the benefits. Five was that they could train and eliminate newcomers. Six was that they felt very domineering and handsome to cross several countries to slap the Church of Saint Arius. Seven…

To be honest, that scumbag father is a count of the great empire, and his family has real power. The biggest reason why he is not a duke is that he does not have close ties with the royal family. The military power wielded by the wizard family cannot be underestimated. Even if they establish their own country, no one can stop them. In their eyes, the purpose of this trip is to find out the news of the star beast, and whoever gets in the way will be beaten.

"Eniel, our plan is divided into five steps to fictionalize reality. The first is the initial clues. We met the Saint Arius Field Enforcer by chance. They had a fight with the witch, and I assisted the witch. Second, with you here, the family will ask you for confirmation. If you deny this information, the family will hesitate and make judgments. The news of the star beast will definitely reach the earl. He will be suspicious and use the intelligence network of the Holy Kingdom of Arianism to verify. They will find that the inquisitors are indeed dispatched and missing, or they have been found to have been killed."

Filin casually sketched the outline of a map on the paper. "Third, I started to send back some letters from the 'witches' one after another. I asked some of them to say something ambiguous, and then asked another group of witches to confirm or deny. Everyone spoke with an uncertain tone. The more this happened, the more it meant that something had indeed happened."

Enil raised his finger and said, "I will go and provoke the Arians. I only need to blow up one of their churches."

Feilin shook his head: "No, you should go to the Holy Land of Arius, find an abandoned mine, and then use all your magic power to bomb it vertically downwards, causing a stream of high-purity magic crystals to collapse underneath. This place will be full of turbulence for a short period of time, and no one will be able to tell what is inside."

Enil smiled: "The attacked Saint Arius will definitely investigate."

Flin raised his finger and said, "Fourth, our colleagues will see a heavily guarded cult investigating a 'relic'. The sleeping star beasts will always be unstable. No one dares to make a conclusion before the final investigation is clear."

Enil lowered his head and said: "What about the fifth one? As time goes by, the loopholes in this magic will become bigger and bigger. I have a fragment of a star beast here, how about..."

Feilin held Enil's hands and stuffed the star beast fragment back into her pocket.

"I have bigger and better ones right here."

……

Three different and three different

It’s the turn of the cute and charming Fili, as well as the shining, confident and elegant knight Princess Serena!

In the Witch Forest, Fili found Hecate: "Lord Hecate, I am planning a grand scam soon. Can you help me?"

Hecate was quite interested, Fili had done a lot in the past year, which made the witches more lively, and recently she heard that she had some wonderful ideas, so Hecate was looking forward to seeing how far Fili could go.

Regarding this request, Hecate said she would listen first before speaking: "What is the purpose?"

Fili shrugged, "The Morgana family and the Church of Saint Arius discovered a non-existent star beast site, and the two sides shook hands and discussed the peaceful development of the mine."

Hecate became interested: "How do you need help?"

Fili sat up straight, her expression serious: "I want to know what kind of star beast materials Lady Hecate has. Even if I just want to take a look, that's fine."

Hecate hummed and changed the subject: "What a deception...Morgana's family, what a wonderful fate. Fili, do you know anything about the Black Witch?"

Fili crossed her legs. "I'm relatively young and don't know the ancient legends. Is there any explanation?"

Hecate spread her hands and said, "Obviously the founder is a witch, and the bloodline passed down is also hers. The blood relatives of this family occupy an absolute dominant position, and everyone has extraordinary magical talents. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

The family that was supposed to be led by the witch has undergone a drastic change, becoming the twisted form it is today.

Hecate hadn't finished yet: "When we were still good friends, we traveled around the world together looking for mushrooms, but Morgana fell in love with a paladin of the Order of Saint Arius, and we ended up hiding from the Inquisition together. It was a really interesting time. Of course, Morgana and Saint Arius had a personal vendetta."

Fili analyzed the story silently. She took the story about the family ancestor being a witch seriously. Thanks to her ancestors, she had the talents and abilities she had today. As for hatred, both new and old grudges existed, so there was no need to show mercy.

The ending of this love story is also rather clichéd. When the Paladin was about to die, Morgana shared his life. The great witch spent just a few hundred years of her life with humans, which is considered a recorded death of a witch.

Hecate sighed, then turned around and crawled into the cabinet. Fili saw her twisting her waist and crawling deeper, and then she was completely inside the cabinet.

"It's stuck, Fili, give me a hand."

"Really!"

潵① and put Yis

There was a little hiccup, but it was nothing serious.

Hecate took out a black box. When Fili looked at it carefully, she found that the black box seemed to absorb the surrounding light and distort the light, making the square box look a little distorted and completely isolating the existence inside. It was not only a sealing technique, but also more like the creation of a small world.

"This is the prop we made when we killed the star beast. Since you are planning such an interesting thing, I will give you one." Hecate opened the box, which contained some fragments whose outlines could not be seen clearly. Finally, she took out a red pendant that looked like a round blood bead.

Fili stared at the pendant. She was first surprised, then attracted. Her eyes were blank for a few seconds before returning to normal. She pretended nothing happened. "What a beautiful pendant. It looks like fresh blood when viewed through the light."

Hecate let out a whirring laugh. "Yes, it's Morgana's blood. After killing the star beast, we took away some scraps. There was a piece of scrap that we didn't know what to make, so I asked her to make a pendant like this. Aren't you worried about the mushroom in the recipe? If there is something you want within a hundred miles, this pendant will glow slightly."

Fili tilted her head: "Are there any other functions?"

Hecate couldn't help but laugh: "No, do you think that all the creations of star beasts are high-end? Morgana is a person whose interests are greater than magic, so she can become a great witch."

Fili bowed deeply to Hecate: "Thank you for trusting me so much..."

Hecate suddenly came up to Fili and held her face in her hands: "You seem to have some misunderstanding. I chose to believe the secret you hid."

Chapter 69: Enil is angry

Hidden secrets? Fili felt a little uncomfortable facing Hecate's sincere gaze. She was afraid that her true identity would be exposed if they looked at each other so closely. She was also curious about the historical truth that Hecate told her. She didn't care about family matters before, but now she began to be curious about the secrets of the Black Witch. She didn't expect that Hecate knew her ancestors.

Witch, so magical.

Did Hecate trust Fili too much? What was the reason for her to trust him? Did Hecate see something?

Fili hurriedly found an excuse to leave. On the way back, she carefully looked at the blood pendant, let's call it the Morgana pendant. It looked like an ordinary gem, but she didn't expect it to be blood. It sealed some kind of power like amber, and it was made of materials from star beasts.

The so-called star beast seems to be some kind of cosmic monster. Although it is a bit strange to say this in the magical world, this creature is some kind of alien.

"The moon in this world is not very powerful." Fili put on the pendant, held it gently, and tried to find mushrooms.

The pendant seemed to sense her thoughts and began to glow slightly. Fili held up the pendant to check. It seemed that the light emitted by the pendant varied in intensity in different directions. The brightest spots were where the mushrooms were. At this time, Fili stopped looking for mushrooms, and the pendant lost its glow.

Fili tried to look for something else. The pendant could not only correctly identify what Fili wanted in her mind, but also distinguish between far and near and repeated objects. Unless Fili's own thoughts were confused, the pendant would definitely be able to find something for her.

Although magic is magical in itself, Fili still wanted to marvel at the intelligence of this prop, which could actually correctly sense her mind.

We'll test the other functions later, and go back to find Enil first.
