Oops, I became the witch's substitute

Miriam How unstable is the border situation? We have to start from this world, and this information can be seen in the newspapers.

"Surprising! The mysterious forces of the underground world collided, the Shadow Group and the Great Cemetery had a business dispute, and the two chambers of commerce fought at the border."

"Who will win? The competition between succubus and nightmares has become fierce. Who will become the king of the nightclub?"

"Blessings of love? Lion King Weddings and Ratatosk Dating Agency are competing for customers on the street!"

"In a land of free magic, thugs committed crimes in the streets, and bystanders used magic to shoot them to death in the streets."

"No fighting on the border? Saint Arius assembled his army without warning, and the surrounding nations expressed their protests. The Miriam royal family condemned and strongly denounced the military threats of the Holy Nation."

"Crisis! Information about the sighting of demons has appeared in the following areas!"

"The winter cold continues, the frost moon season lasts longer than in previous years, and the number of wanted monsters has increased. Please reduce going out and be on guard against danger."

After reading the newspaper, Fili felt that the content was quite rich, but there were too many reports. It did enumerate all the major and minor crises on the border, which was almost a warning to ordinary people not to run around.

The world is still in an era where personal force is supreme. Superb force represents free will, and the strong can do almost anything they want. The result of this small part of willfulness is the fluctuation of order.

Fili is now connected to Miriam's royal family. She has almost stepped onto Miriam's stage and is accumulating influence in this country. If people here get into trouble, Fili will help if she can, and it doesn't cost any money.

Fili was reading the newspaper here, while Enil and Felix came downstairs and prepared to go to the kitchen to make breakfast.

"Now our family and the sect are being played around by us, brother." Enil automatically ignored the other people in the hall on the first floor and just followed Philin.

"Fortunately, now we just have to wait and see when the family members will take action." Feilin did not have any expectations for the family. He just hoped that they would wade into the muddy water and preferably fight with the sect.

After all, his plan was to spread awareness, and then investigate the source of magic power. As for whether the star beast would appear? It didn't matter. For the time being, the Saint Arius sect would be there to support the star beast.

"We still have to continue to instigate more forces, right, brother?" Enier spread out his palms, as if he saw a series of lists, and couldn't help showing off his cleverness, "It's best to get the witch involved as well."

"Don't cause trouble for others everywhere." Feilin shrugged. The witch group was too lazy. Maybe the witches would resist when the star beasts came, but it was unnecessary to expect them to take the initiative to attack.

"But according to my brother's current plan, the progress is too slow. The family's instructions come every few days." After entering the kitchen, Enier pulled a carrot from the cabinet next to him, took a bite and continued, "I listened to my brother's words before, but in the end, the family sent people to interfere. By the way, do you want to find a way to kill those people?"

Feilin sighed: "Sometimes it's really pitiful that we live in such an environment. Is your mind now full of clubs and bayonets?"

Enil frowned and said, "Brother, are you really looking at my innocent little sister like this? You should know that I am the only one you can trust."

Feilin did not comment: "I don't completely trust you. You just think it's profitable to cooperate with me, little sister."

Enier pointed at Filin with a carrot that he had bitten twice: "You should be kind to your sister, brother. Anyway, I'll leave the troublesome things to you, brother. If you need to kill someone, you can consult me."

Filin started cooking, and the kitchen was gradually filled with the aroma of breakfast, and then Nishinoka and Scathach walked in.

"What? You got there first today?" Nishinohua looked at Filin in surprise. To be honest, one third of the utensils in the kitchen had been replaced with ones specifically for Nishinohua, and they happened to be suitable for Scathach as well. This witch had begun to occupy the kitchen unknowingly.

Feilin used magic to control the flames: "Well, it's just a whim, so what do you want to eat?"

Nishinoka raised her hand: "Then fermented glutinous rice dumplings will do. I want to eat something sweet this morning."

Scathach, whose presence was gradually fading, also raised her hand: "Me too, but can I watch from the side? Learn from Brother Filin..."

Speaking of Laozao, it was a common food in the previous life, but here it is considered a special secret recipe for film. This includes the homemade vinegar and soy sauce, which are both high-end products rarely seen outside.

Nishinoka likes the kitchen here, too. Her skills combined with Film's ideas often create some amazing dishes. Of course, the so-called innovation does not include frozen slime stewed mushrooms.

Serena also came back from exercising outside during breakfast. Everyone seemed to be very clear about the time for meals in the hotel.

Erniel quietly walked around behind Fili and said, "Hmm, is Fili reading the newspaper?"

Fili was hiding her face in her heart. She talked with Enil in her original form and then in her clone form, leaving no gaps. "Yes, there have been a lot of things happening recently. It's good to get a general idea from the newspaper."

Enil smiled and asked, "Witches also care about what's happening outside? I thought you would hide in the workshop of the inn like other witches."

Fili put down the newspaper and gave Ernie a displeased look: "You can go and harass your brother if you have nothing to do. There is no need to emphasize the interests and hobbies of witches. Having said that, I am indeed more lively than other witches, that's it."

Nishinoka couldn't help but come closer and said, "Fili, aren't you tired of running around all day like this? There seems to be a rumor recently that a sect in a neighboring country has unearthed an ancient holy relic. Are you investigating that?"

Fili raised her finger, "Yes, yes. I talked about this with Lady Hecate yesterday. We speculated that this was the sleeping place of the ancient star beast Bahamut."

Nishinoka blinked. "Bahamut? What's that?"

Enil was a little surprised: "I thought you wouldn't understand. The records about Bahamut are only in a few words in the documents, which are quite rare."

Fili ate the dumplings and muttered, "Don't underestimate the witch's wisdom."

Nishinoka also looked indifferent: "It has nothing to do with me anyway. This world is in tatters and we witches can mend it. I just need to watch you guys make trouble quietly. By the way, will everyone come back for lunch today? If you do, I'll go buy groceries in advance."

As a result, except for Scathach, everyone else said they had something to do and left.

Nishinoka sighed and said, "Everyone is busy, everyone is busy, it's better to be busy. By the way, Feilin, the witches we agreed to meet with will come over in the next few days. It's okay for us to have a party at the hotel. Also, please lend us the piano. Of course, it won't be used for nothing. The witches who come will help you maintain the piano, and everyone will leave some rewards."

Feilin ate silently: "It won't be mushrooms again, right?"

Nishinoka said angrily, "Don't think there must be mushrooms just because I mention witches! There must be a misunderstanding somewhere!"

Chapter 80: Understanding of Orfa

Time passed quickly and soon it was afternoon. Fili and Selena went to the Witch Forest to exchange information with Hecate and contact other witches. Fili and Enil rushed to the border first to secretly spread the news of Bahamut.

Sometimes Feilin also admires himself. He is so talented that he can do the work of two people.

Let's talk about Filin first. Their mission today is to find a place for their family members to stay. The key is to highlight secrecy. After all, this group of more than 30 elite people, everyone started as a Transcendent, which is enough to make Serena cry for three minutes.

Serena is considered the strongest in her family, but her strength is only comparable to that of a soldier in another family. This is the sad past of the small family.

So when such a force came to Miriam, the panic caused by its exposure was no less than that caused by a star beast falling.

Feilin had less contact with the family and didn't know much about the current upper structure: "Is Brother Orfa completely loyal to the Earl?"

Erniel immediately replied, "Big brother? It seems that if the status quo does not change, Big brother is the Earl's most loyal lackey. But if we talk about die-hard loyalty, Third sister is the one with pathological loyalty. You may not know that her attitude towards the Earl is one of love and fear. She is a person who longs for fatherly love."

In this generation of the family, uncles and the like are all vying for power or protecting themselves. Among them, there are a few guys with a conscience who voluntarily drift to the edge of the family, out of sight and out of mind. The earl's wives are also vying for favor and plundering interests, and it is normal for them to suck the blood of Morgana's family and give back to her own family.

As for the Earl's descendants, although not all of them are born rebellious, at least they do not like the Earl's behavior. It has been said before that the blood curse does not maintain family ties, but creates enemies.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows there will be hidden dangers. God knows why the count chose this way, but there must be some reasons.

Filin began to think of a trick. He had experienced Orufa's train of thought once before. This upright elder brother might be worth using. If he could not be won over, Filin was considering whether he could use this opportunity to kill him.

Enil realized it when he saw the look in Filin's eyes: "You want to kill Orfa? How cold-blooded, brother. He is our half brother, so let's join forces."

Feilin raised his hand: "Even if they are not friendly forces, they may not be enemies."

Enil held his head and looked at the sky with some boredom: "You only have one chance. If Orufa knew your thoughts, he would consider whether it would be more beneficial to betray you or continue to be a dog."

Feilin expressed his understanding: "Even if everyone puts themselves together, they are still no match for the Count. The way to survive is to prioritize self-interest."

Then Filin talked about the situation of the two families. His mother was depressed because of some things and has not cheered up yet, so she could not provide help to Filin. However, Enil's mother exercised her rights as a lady and provided Enil with various resource support.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the finances of Enier's missions outside are all taken care of by her mother, and the elusive maid is also a good helper.

For example, when it comes to finding a place to stay, Yudaraha has already bought a manor in the suburbs and hired old farmers from nearby farms in a low-key manner, running the business like a businessman.

The location of this manor is close to the border. If you walk a short distance, you will be close to the border of the Holy Kingdom of Arius. It is a good base for this mission. Besides, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and Yudaraha has already prepared four bases like this.

Erniel said with a relaxed look on his face: "It doesn't matter if I can't use it all. When I return, I will give these properties to my brother."

Philin was silent for a moment, thinking of Hecate's mushroom formula, then shook his head. At present, this formula was a trump card. Even though Enil had vast resources, it could not be revealed to her in advance.

The little sister is cute, but she is also very realistic.

Feilin said, "When this chaos is over, I plan to use the witch's channels to develop a potion. If successful, it may be able to suppress our curse. Are you interested?"

Enier's eyes lit up: "Brother told me, which means he is at least somewhat confident. I can help you."

Filin nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a powerful magical fluctuation suddenly appeared outside.

Then Orufa hurried into the manor with a group of mages.

"Well, is that Enil? If you're still alive, come out. I have something to ask you!"

Hearing this voice, Filin and Enier showed a tacit and subtle expression at the same time, in one word, annoying.

Neither of them likes dealing with fools.

Fortunately, Orufa's subordinates were not stupid. They all had experience in lurking. After arriving at the manor, they confirmed their positions and began to disguise themselves. Only Orufa took the compass and went straight to Enil's location.

Enil completely restrained his expression, and his tone revealed a sense of rejection, "We are finally here. Even if a tortoise slept three times on the road, it is still faster than you, right?"

Orfa narrowed his eyes and said, "I want to ask you, are you colluding with the witch of this country? Why does my compass point to a completely unfamiliar witch?"

Enil frowned slightly: "What are you talking about?"

Filin picked up the teacup calmly. He had no interest in dealing with Orfa.

Orfa held up his compass, and the blood bead in it pointed in the direction of Enil: "I don't know what you are doing, but... strange, who is this familiar man?"

As he spoke, the blood bead on the compass pointed at Filin again, immediately attracting Orfa's attention.

Enier taunted: "It seems that not only his legs and feet are not in good condition, but his brain has also become dull. He can't even remember his blood relatives. He is not only cold-blooded but also heartless."

Orfa crossed his arms and pondered for a moment. "You are... Brother Filin! Yes, that's the name. I remember you. You are the only child recognized by my father that I have never fought with. When were you sent here, you hiding rat?"

Feilin continued to hold the tea, lacking interest: "I was ordered to lurk and infiltrate the witch organization. I have other tasks."

"I see." Orfa looked down at the compass, then up at Filin, as if he was trying to think of something. He suddenly turned into a famous detective, "I see, that's it. No wonder the compass points to that witch. Could it be that the witch is pregnant with your child?"

Bang! Feilin crushed the teacup.

Enil was no longer worried. He looked at Filin with a look of astonishment and then asked Orfa.

"What have you encountered that's making you talk nonsense here?"

Orfa shook his finger and said, "This is a magic device made of the blood and marrow of star beasts. The blood I dripped into it can accurately find every blood relative, and there will be no mistake. That day I was following the guidance of the compass, but I found the witch. Our family definitely does not have the witch's illegitimate daughter, so there is only one possibility, the outflow of blood."

After saying that, Orfa looked down at Filin and said, "You did something stupid, little brother. Do you know how serious this mistake is?"

Flin turned to look at Enil, "Interesting farce. It seems that he is very confident in his magic. Unfortunately, there is an error in the basic structure."

To prove it, Filin bit his fingertip without changing his expression, lifted up the falling blood bead and squeezed it gently. The blood-red magic power quickly spread in the room, and then Orfa's compass began to spin wildly.

"This is nothing more than a low-level farce caused by low-level magic and a low-level master."

Filin looked at him with disdain, but Enil stared at him closely.

"I think I know who Orfa met, so tell me, brother, why does Fili have your scent?"

"We just talked about this topic, little sister, this is why you want to sponsor me."

This explanation is reasonable, and Enier does not dwell on it.

However, Orfa was angry now. He placed the compass on the table next to him and smashed it hard. The lid of the compass flew off. He hurriedly checked the magic circuit underneath and began to tap it. He found that the compass needle was still turning, so he had to disassemble it and reshape it.

Chapter 81 The Witch’s Secret

In the Witch Forest, Fili was somewhat relieved to be able to move around in her original form. There was no Enil who would take advantage of every opportunity, nor was there the aggressive Orfa. There was only concern and friendship from others.

Although these witches have not formed a highly efficient organization, they have expanded their ecological chain and are involved in many fields. When they inquire about information, they can grab clues from every corner in minutes. No one knows how many fields the witches are involved in.

That's right, even though most witches stay at home, a small number of witches still negotiate with the outside world for living resources. For example, Charlotte is a sugar merchant, and the candies she makes are Miriam's best-selling products. Irene is an excellent jeweler who roams in high society, and the styles she launches often represent Miriam's fashion trends.

At tea time, Fili came to the candy house first, and happened to meet Charlotte and Irene. The two were also discussing the recent chaos at the border, because foreign chambers of commerce would also impact their lives.

To be precise, it was their agents who were complaining about the foreign gangs being too impolite.

"So they repeatedly entrusted us to negotiate with outsiders, but this is too troublesome." Irene spoke the loudest, and every time she spoke, her voice and actions were powerful, like the rabbit in the tortoise and the hare race.

In comparison, Charlotte is a tortoise, eating candy slowly: "In my opinion, competition from external products can stimulate their motivation. In recent years, they have been paying more and more slowly. It was only this year that they were stimulated and immediately booked the products for the next three years and paid all the money. I have plenty of cash in my hands now, so I don't bother to care about external things."

Serena couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard the witches' attitude. In the past, she would treat the witches as treasures, seek medical treatment everywhere, even kneeling down, hoping that the witches could help her territory. Now that she is getting familiar with the witches, she understands that the witches are also girls like herself, with their own lives.

In other words, instead of praising witches and arbitrarily placing them in a high position, it is better to see if fate can make them friends, and to form a bond naturally and be friends on an equal footing is the most correct way of life.

It's not that Serena is talking without any concerns, but when she looks at ordinary people from the perspective of witches, she realizes that witches also have many human friends, and these people are also quite interesting.

Serena asked worriedly, "But these people are your partners, are you just going to leave them alone?"

Charlotte lay on the table. "Of course I don't care. They are businessmen. The more we help them, the bigger they will become. They will squeeze out other small merchants and eventually form a monopoly. Then not everyone can afford candy. Irene and I are completely different in this regard. She only sells jewelry to wealthy businessmen and nobles. She is so cold-blooded."

Irene said angrily, "One hundred and twenty years ago, I promoted some cheap gems. As a result, the market was quickly flooded with all kinds of cheap jewelry. Later, it became difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. In the end, I couldn't even sell my high-end gems. The influence of that time continues to this day. Nowadays, except for dragons, humans seem to have lost interest in diamonds."

Fili couldn't help but shake her head: "As for the diamonds, isn't it because artificial diamonds are easy to make now? If the three of us rub them together for an afternoon, it will be enough for Miriam to use for half a year."

Serena couldn't help but look at Fili. It seemed that only witches could say this. Her family had to worry about the gold, silver and jewelry decorations every year when planning banquets, because the drought often failed to even meet the minimum standards.

After complaining about the diamond, Fili continued, "Let's prepare to pick up the Snow Girl in the next few days, and notify the sisters near the border to be careful and return to the Witch Forest if possible."
