Oops, I became the witch's substitute

"According to the latest information, the Saint Arius sect went deep into the mine. They are convinced of the existence of the star beast, but cannot understand its true form. The aura here has also been known to the outside world. Now not only the family and the sect are paying attention, but the surrounding countries have taken action. Even the witches here are paying attention." Enier has received all kinds of news. Now she has begun to doubt herself whether she and Philin blasted open the breeding ground of the star beast that day.

Now the family believes in the existence of the star beast, the sect believes in the existence of the star beast, and other forces are also beginning to gradually believe that the star beast exists, but after several days, the true identity of the star beast is still unknown.

"Brother...if we stayed a little longer that day, would we have noticed the existence of the star beast?"

"No, no, no, Enil, you have to trust your own judgment. No matter how you look at it, that mine is just a dry mine. It's an ordinary abandoned place. It has no value at all... probably." Filin himself was incoherent.

Enier curled his hair and said, "Brother, what do you think star beasts would look like if they really existed?"

Feilin shrugged: "I have never seen a star beast, but I, by the way, have you heard of the existence of the Lone Wing and the Bahamut of the End?"

Enier thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "Is it recorded in some ancient document? There is no such record in the documents I have read."

Feilin laughed. This world definitely didn't have such documents. They were memories from another world. He crossed his arms and said proudly, "This is a legendary dragon. It is a star beast in the shape of a dragon. Its symbol is its pitch-black scales. It has a signature skill of 10 billion nuclear explosions. Wherever it flies, a scorched earth is left. In some records, it is considered to be the dragon of creation. It may also be a giant fish."

Enier couldn't help but tilt his head: "It's hard to imagine the change between the dragon and the fish."

Feilin raised his finger and said, "Anyway, if people have discovered it, it must have been sealed in some huge moon. It is normal for ancient people to seal up some problems that they could not solve."

Enil snorted, "How can this be normal? You say you believe in the wisdom of future generations, but in the end you are only causing trouble for them! But brother, does this legendary dragon really exist? What is its name?"

Feilin spread his hands and said, "I'm not sure either. Maybe it's called Bahamut. Anyway, it's something like unofficial history. Just listen to it. We have to find a chance to get close to the Saint Arius sect, break through their blockade, and conduct a field investigation."

There was no plan to score twice in Filin's plan, but seeing that the family wanted more intelligence, Filin was worried that she wouldn't be able to make it up. Since the Order of St. Arius had given her so much useful information, it would be a shame not to use it.

Enil was worried that he had no news to report to his family recently. After hearing Bahamut's story, he immediately got an inspiration and sent a "result of his hard work" to his family.

……

At the border of the Holy Kingdom of Arius, deep in an abandoned mine, slaves are enduring great fear and crisis, working hard to dig the deepest part of the land.

The aura wafting from underground became stronger and stronger, which further strengthened the sect's confidence.

At this moment, a slave's pickaxe suddenly hit a hard object, causing his knuckles to bleed. Then, unusual chiseling sounds were heard all around, and more and more people touched strange objects.

A few days later, the excavation team cleared a circular corridor around the object.

A bishop came deep underground, came to the newly built corridor, and touched the mysterious runes on the wall.

"So? Have you come to a conclusion? What on earth is this creature?"

"I'm very sorry, but I still have no idea."

"Forget it, what did we dig up?"

"According to scholars' calculations, this is a huge spherical object, suspected to be an artificial moon made by ancient people. Of course, its true purpose is still a mystery, and scholars are still investigating."

The bishop was in a melancholy mood. After being busy for so many days, although he finally made some progress and dug out the source of the star beast's fluctuations, he had stopped there for now. He could only clear the space around the sphere as much as possible. There was currently no way to gain any benefits from the sphere.

"I paid so much for it, but I don't even know what it is. It's like it appeared out of thin air. I have a bad feeling..."

The bishop ran his hand across the unknown runes, shook his head slightly, ordered additional manpower to be sent to the excavation team, and then left.

Chapter 75 Do you believe it? No, this is fake!

Filin quickly sneaked into the camp of the Order of St. Arius. His ability of deception came in very handy, and he entered the abandoned mine without encountering any obstruction. The only thing that caused trouble for Filin was when a soldier fell asleep and almost hit him.

The people of the Saint Arius sect were going in and out of the mine, working busily. Although they were tired, they were quite happy. They seemed to think that sleeping star beasts were easier to deal with than fresh fallen star beasts. The only tricky thing was sealing the shell of the star beast.

"Why does it sound familiar? No, did you really dig up something?" With such doubts, Filin entered the mine for the second time to investigate. There was indeed an unusual aura here, and the power of the owner of the aura even terrified him.

What's so scary? Of course he's afraid of death. Feilin feels that the existence deep underground is enough to threaten his life, but the problem is that he has never seen this thing before.

Star beasts are too unreasonable. To say that they have the power to destroy the world is an understatement. They are just like nature's porters who only carry things but not transport them.

After that, Filin hid here, investigated everywhere, listened to information from various members of the Order of St. Arius, and gradually understood the outline of the matter.

"Everyone is confused, and there is no source of information." Feilin sighed, "But when I came back here, I always felt that there was a similar power underground..."

Deception, a power that even Film did not fully grasp.

Just like people in previous lives could not see the end of science, Filin could not fully understand his own talent and could only use it based on his feelings. It used to work on himself, but now it seemed like he was making up reasoning and making non-existent things become real.

This world is very unreasonable, and many forces will produce unexpected branches. Now, Film becomes suspicious when he catches a little clue, and starts to research when he becomes suspicious, and he becomes more and more suspicious when he starts to research.

But the next few days were not smooth sailing. The excavation progress of the Order of St. Arius was stuck here and was very slow. Filin couldn't wait and went home. After returning home, he found that several expedited letters had been delivered to his home.

Nishinoka was helpless: "Where have you been these days? The merchant who often comes here is so worried. It is said that these family letters are related to your mother. And from the beginning, your mother is critically ill. I will doubt it in a few days... Uh, nothing, aha, you must be tired after just coming back? I'll make you some cookies. By the way, a friend of mine said he wants to have a party at the hotel. Do you think it's okay?"

Feilin is now itching to do something, and is extremely interested in the star beast discovered by the Saint Arius sect. He doesn't care what happens to the inn, as long as the house is not demolished. "No problem. This inn was originally intended to serve witches, and it's a good start if you can call your friends over."

After saying that, Filin went to open the letters, and then fell into deep thought. The first letter began with an extremely excited tone, saying that the family knew this was the location of the star beast Bahamut, and asked Filin to infiltrate with all his strength.

"Who told them this was Bahamut? It was just that idiot Enil had nothing to write, so he just sent back my joke. Is there a legend about Bahamut in this world? If there is, it should have started with Behemoth. It was just a misunderstanding..."

The family letter told Filin in a confident tone to infiltrate the Order of St. Arius, sneak into the core and monitor their progress. After a while, the family's secret forces would take a small path to avoid the eyes and ears outside, and wait for a suitable opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The reason for the urgency is that the family is now giving orders with their brains and limbs, from the count to the intelligence chief, and they want Film to be used as much as possible, and they wish that Film could steal the underwear of all the members of the Order of St. Arius.

Philin tentatively asked his family what Bahamut was. He received a reply within a week after sending the letter back. This reply made Philin completely speechless, as if he had seen a second-hand story being believed by others. The family had cited countless documents and attributed many ancient suspense disasters to Bahamut, citing scriptures and telling Philin - "Bahamut is Bahamut, the star beast that destroyed the ancient dynasty. How come you don't even understand this?"

In this regard, Filin had completely lost hope in his family and captured the exhausted Enil at night.

III Yi Yi Yi Sa

Feilin was completely numb: "Little sister, did you write a letter to tell the family that the Saint Arius sect dug up Bahamut?"

Enier has also been receiving intensive orders from her family recently. Since she is a listener to the secondary creation story, she is now somewhat brainwashed: "Yes, I just mentioned it, but the family has confirmed that this is Bahamut. It's really amazing. I thought the so-called unofficial history was just unofficial, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Filin got a definite answer. After a brief analysis, he had a rough guess about the current situation. In fact, there was no special reason. The family believed it because they were arrogant enough to only believe the facts they were willing to believe.

At this point, Filin seemed to have some speculations about the talent for deception, and this speculation might be the possibility for him to continue to be promoted from a hero.

It is related to a dish that Nishinoka once made. Nishinoka once used a poisonous mushroom, crushed it and made apple cake. This cake feels like an apple, tastes like an apple, and looks like an apple, but it is indeed made of mushrooms.

Now reverse this formula, conceal the source of the intelligence, and then everyone will think that there is something under the abandoned mine that looks like Bahamut, is Bahamut when it gets ruthless, and is Bahamut when it performs a billion nuclear explosions, so it must be Bahamut.

Even if this creature is really some kind of star beast, from now on, people are willing to call it Bahamut.

Even if there really are other Bahamuts in this world, after these few days, the name has been stolen and attributed to the mysterious creature in the abandoned mine.

"But how do I verify this theory?" Filin fell into deep thought. There are two main difficulties in the problem now.

First, the level of awareness is still insufficient, and only the family believes this information. Second, what is the source of magic power?

Feilin also hoped that this was a strange phenomenon caused by the power of deception. If it was true, it would mean that the ability had a new breakthrough direction. But if there was a real creature under the abandoned mine, it would have nothing to do with the ability of deception, which was somewhat regrettable.

Both difficulties are hard to verify, so hurry up.

Filin pretended to suddenly realize something and believed the existence of the information. She said she was investigating, but in fact she took a forged witch identity and wrote a letter to the family in the identity of a witch who had been bribed in the past, describing Bahamut's situation in a roundabout way as an elder.

The news about the star beast naturally attracted the attention of the Morgana family. They received false information from the "bribed witches" one after another. For example, a witch claiming to be an older witch described Bahamut's ecological observations and living habits. Some witches mentioned the disasters that this land had suffered in the past in a scholarly tone. Finally, there was a portrait of Bahamut sent by an even older witch.

The domineering dragon of disaster swept across the earth with thousands of fire rains. After finishing the film, he was impressed by his good CG skills.

In order to make the family believe, Filin deliberately said that this was confirmed by the great witch Hecate. Now the witches of the Kingdom of Miriam are secretly working to prevent Bahamut from reviving.

"Is this true? Can you believe it? How could these witches know secrets that even we don't know?" The count couldn't help but frown when he saw the information. He couldn't tell what was wrong, but it felt like it was going too smoothly.

The intelligence chief stood up at this time and said, "This is all thanks to Master Feilin's ability. Compared with low-level assassinations and surveillance, Master Feilin's ability is more suitable for such large-scale intelligence gathering. Now almost the entire Miriam Witch Organization has been infiltrated by us."

Since he finally began to take Miriam's matter seriously, the Count began to raise the stakes to ensure that everything would go well: "Is the person sent there Philin? Although I always thought that he was useless, it seems that he can still make some use of his remaining energy and is still capable of seducing witches. However, he alone cannot take on this important task. Arrange a second intelligence network for me to enter Miriam."

The earl had spoken, so the intelligence chief naturally did not dare to raise any objection. He prepared to make arrangements after the meeting. However, if he really wanted to open up a second intelligence network, the intelligence chief had no idea.

"Well, then let's select a few good-looking guys who are good at acting and use the same method to approach the witch group."

Jiuwu Mountain is famous for its wine.

The plan was finalized on the family side, but Hecate, the witch, was in a daze.

"What's going on? Why is the astrology in chaos recently? Is there a sound of Aba Aba coming from the stars?"

There was a basin of water in front of Hecate, with shadows of the starry sky appearing in the basin. In the past, similar shadows were seen every time astrology was performed, with only some details changing. Hecate could use these details to speculate what might happen in the future. But now, every time astrology was performed, the star map she saw was different. What a joke.

Chapter 76: Urban Legends about Witches

Compared to the Morgana family and the church, the witches' power is more organized... Well, let's first talk about whether the witches have an organization.

The witches have gathered in the Kingdom of Miriam for such a long time, but what surprised the outside world the most is that they really lived in seclusion and had no intention of interfering with or infiltrating the royal power. The king even had to ask the witches to come to work and barely establish his own magic academy when he saw that his own magic level was too poor. It can be said that this small country is sad.

Even the great witch Hecate likes to stay at home in the Witch Forest.

So while big things were happening next door and King Miriam was beginning to worry, the witches were still boiling mushrooms.

Hecate greeted the king's envoy as she stirred the potion in her cauldron.

"So, you suspect that a sleeping star beast has been unearthed at the border of the Holy Nation of Arius?"

The Special Envoy couldn't help wiping his sweat. "It's not just suspicion anymore. The sect is gathering troops for real. Mercenaries and special figures from all over the world have been slowly gathering during this period. The border has been in chaos without our knowledge. We can definitely draw a conclusion."

In this case, Hecate also showed patience and carefully asked the envoy for relevant information, and the envoy naturally told her everything he knew.

Even if there were no star beasts, it would be enough for the sect to suddenly launch an undeclared war under the banner of conquering witches. The nobles were still clear-headed. At least they knew that two-thirds of their country's combat power came from witches, but the witches did not form a close cooperative relationship with them.

What? Does it count as cooperation if the witches just move here and find a place to live?

Even if there is a Witch Forest, the number of people there is so small that they can't even be considered immigrants. As for the issue of territory, Hecate actually owns the Witch Forest, and with Miriam's noble title, she is the lord here, so it is reasonable to expel and gender-change the invaders.

If one day the king is unwilling to expel the witch, the great witch lord Hecate will ask the king why he invaded her territory and whether he really considers himself a vassal?

Of course, the above thoughts are rather malicious. The truth is that the witches once expelled the star beasts, and the royal family is more grateful to the witches. It’s just that after several generations of kings, the current king can no longer empathize with the situation back then, and only has respect for the power.

Hecate was not a witch who liked to bully ordinary people. She wanted to find a home for the witches so that they wouldn't have to wander around. But she was the type who was too slow in action and didn't have the patience and energy to participate in aristocratic social interactions, which led to hundreds of years of living a mediocre life.

For example, last night, I had to attend a social dance for the nobility, so I couldn’t listen to the chirping sounds of the stars.

Now we have to investigate the star beasts again. Such an important matter naturally needs to be confirmed, but it is very tiring to go there in person...

A light bulb popped up above Hecate's head.

"By the way, Mr. Special Envoy, do you know Fili?"

"Who is this?"

Hecate smiled brightly. "It's the deceitful witch Fili who hunted down Medea not long ago and made her organization afraid to act rashly. She has now disappeared. She is a young and energetic action-oriented person among us. She is powerful, good at communication, and tends to integrate into human life. We can completely entrust this matter to her."

The envoy swallowed his saliva and said, "But the other party is from the Saint Arius sect, and there might be a star beast?"

Hecate waved her hand and said, "Master Envoy, have a cup of tea and calm down. Since I recommended Fili, it means she has the ability to solve the problem. Besides, if the star beast really appears, we will not just stand by and watch, right? At least please believe me, not in the identity of the great witch, but in the identity of the hero who once saved the Kingdom of Miriam."

The envoy nodded. This made him feel more at ease. The reason he panicked was because he lacked understanding of witches. If he had witnessed the birth of the Witch Forest with his own eyes, he would not have any doubts.

So grab a cup of mushroom tea and relax.

The envoy picked up the teacup.

Special envoy~?Ascension?~.

It is rumored that wild mushrooms are rarely seen in the forests around King Miriam's capital, even before and after the rainy season. However, a large number of picked and cleaned wild mushrooms appear on the market and are sold with slogans such as "no worries about life and death".

The reason why ordinary people cannot find mushrooms is because there are mushroom elves in the forest. They are small in size and accompanied by crisp laughter. As soon as they appear, the wild mushrooms will disappear.

……

We know that the current head of the Morgana family is very disdainful, but this disdain is a secret among blood relatives.

In the eyes of the family vassals, the head of the family is majestic and powerful, and his children are all talented and outstanding. The eldest son, who is considered to be the next generation of heirs, is the best among men, a genius among geniuses, the youngest hero and the strongest. He performs his tasks competently and shrewdly and never fails.

Only a few people know the eldest son's shortcomings, or rather, the eldest son also tries his best to make up for these shortcomings.

"Ah, I'm lost." Orfa took the map and made sure he didn't hold it upside down. Then he took out a compass made from precious star beast fragments and cast a magic spell to find the direction. "What's going on? I want to meet up with Enil. Why did I end up in a place like this? She should be the only relative in this area."

The eldest son, Orufa, did not know that Filin had been exiled, he only knew that Enil's plan was described in the mission briefing.

As the advance team, Orufa was not optimistic about the cross-border combat plan. After all, everyone understood the disadvantages of lengthening the supply line. Even for them, it would be difficult to gain any advantage if they confronted the elite of the Saint Arius sect.

But don't forget that they are a family of mages, and mages naturally have their own tactics. Orfa's plan is to lead the elite team into the appropriate area, set up a teleportation magic circle to fight a wave of enemies, and then leave without a lingering fight.

Although the Morgana family is tough, they are not stupid. It would be a waste if they don't use tactics. What's more, the mission is to seize as much star beast resources as possible, and destroy them if they cannot get them.

But a problem also arises, that is, Orfa can't find the way now. His first goal is to find Enil to reunite, but the compass leads him to a place of refuge for elves.

"This place is interesting. It seems that the elves have just arrived in this area. I wonder what attracted them to protect this place." Orfa touched his chin and covered his eyes with his bandaged hands. "I really want to find out the secrets here and why the compass was attracted here! Could it be that Enil encountered a powerful enemy without my knowledge...?"

As he was speaking, Orufa saw two people walking on the road at the foot of the mountain.

Fili and Serena were on their way back.
