Oops, I became the witch's substitute

After all, according to the information provided by Enil, that person is coming, so it would be better for Fili to keep a low profile.

At this time, Serena frowned and found that someone was watching them: "Those people in the sect still refuse to give up."

Fili nodded slightly, sensing the two people behind her, and then shrugged: "They can handle it themselves."

In the dark, the brave man, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, stood high up and looked at Fili's back: "Is this the witch? She is prettier and cuter than I imagined. If I could..."

He was the type who did what he said, and wanted to follow him immediately, but after walking some distance he ran into Alex head-on.

The young hero sneered at Alex without even thinking about it, but Alex was of course unmoved. He was just doing his duty and grabbing the young man.

As the sect members were holding a meeting and welcoming (or guarding against) Fili, the defense against the star beasts was relaxed a little, and Fili was able to steal some things.

Regardless of the sect's reaction, Enil and Orfa felt a little complicated, which made them at least understand one thing: there is probably no trash talent in this world. No matter how strong the two of them are, they can't do what Feilin can do.

"Is the sect's warehouse owned by your family? How could you steal it so easily?" Orfa held up the bottle of blood essence and shook it gently. "It is indeed of top quality. It is very good for making elixir of life or secret medicine of life."

The so-called elixir of life does not really make you immortal, but it does have the effect of maintaining youth and prolonging life, with side effects, and is very rare. Orfa cares more about the secret elixir of life, which is a life-saving straw that can make you full of energy after drinking a sip when you are seriously injured. It has no side effects, and he only has two bottles.

This time, Orufa and Enil made a feint to the east and attacked in the west to cause sabotage everywhere. They led the team to graze in the mountains for several days, but they didn't dig anything out of the star beasts. Filin came up with big and small bags as soon as he made a move. Orufa more or less understood what the ability of deception was, or he thought he understood it.

"Normally, most talents are related to elements. For example, they can be roughly summarized into the categories of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, sun and moon. Or like Enil, it is an increase in magic power itself. These are all common sense or truth. Philin's talent belongs outside the truth. At present, it seems to be the ability to deceive other people's senses." Orfa crossed his arms and looked at Philin seriously. "For example, the you I see now, is it the real you?"

Feilin spread his hands: "Of course I really exist. The reality of the soul cannot deceive anyone on this point."

Orfa had given up thinking: "No matter what you say, I can't see your specific soul. Even your magic power is vague. Being able to hide yourself is also an advantage."

Feilin half closed his eyes and said, "You really want to find out what's going on. Why? Are you afraid that your brothers will stab you?"

Orfa put his hands on his hips and laughed: "If you have that idea, just go ahead."

Just as he was saying wow, Enil came up from behind him and knocked him down with a magic staff.

Compared to the high spirits half a month ago, Enier now looked a little dishevelled. Due to his weak strength, he was injured several times in the conflict and was beaten away by the sect's warriors more than a dozen times.

"You should be thankful that your brother helped you recover the losses. Otherwise, if the big shots above investigate, everyone will be blamed."

Due to his limited skills, Enil mostly ran away during the conflict with the sect. He neither caused any damage to the corpses of the star beasts, nor plundered the materials and finished products. He was almost chased around the whole process. It was difficult for him to fight anyone when he met him alone. He could not beat even the expedition knights, not to mention the terrifying heroes.

They also had to thank the surrounding armed groups of all sizes, especially the two leading bosses, the Shadow Organization and the Great Cemetery, for keeping Enier and his men from being surrounded and killed by the church.

In general, the mission assigned to them by the family was half a failure. Without Filin, they would have to resort to some extraordinary means. Even if they could take back the stolen materials from Filin for research, the mission of hindering the Arian sect was not done well. In the earl's opinion, it was still a failure, and the evaluation would be lowered after returning.

Olufa stood up and touched the place where he was hit: "Look at what you said, I am also your eldest brother."

Feilin and Enier looked at each other, and Enier rushed over to hug Feilin, asking at the same time: "Really?"

Orfa stroked his chin and said, "Are you guys really okay...? You won't get any blessings if you keep going like this. All right, everyone, come over and look at the map."

I really envy the good relationship between brothers and sisters. Orufa also has experience in taking care of other brothers and sisters. When they were young, he let them ride horses on their necks. That happy childhood was like a dream.

He was too lazy to care about these two people, and now he felt like an outsider.

Forget it, just try to survive.

"The entire Star Beast is now surrounded by the sect. They are strictly guarding the border, especially the location we attacked. Not only have they strengthened their defenses, but they have also extended many outposts outward. Now if we get a little closer, we will be alert. On the contrary, the defense towards Arius will be relaxed. Their military strength is not unlimited." Orfa reopened his mind and marked the route of action on the map. "Unlike before, if we approach the Star Beast from the inside, we have a great chance to release destructive magic. I want to find an opportunity to guide the meteorite spell to destroy the main body of the Star Beast."

Meteorite magic does not release real meteorites, but it has amazing destructive power and is simple and unpretentious. Depending on the amount of magic power invested, the killing distance may exceed the casting distance.

According to the idea of ​​destroying it if they can't get it, throwing meteorites is the most cost-effective plan, but the prerequisite is to find a place where they can see the wreckage of the star beast. The sect has not given them this opportunity yet.

Besides, this is tantamount to overturning the table and killing indiscriminately. People from other organizations will also come and step on it when they see it.

With their strength, being able to cause trouble to the church was already the limit, and even with the arrival of Filin, the situation did not improve. Oh, the only change was that Enil was much safer after being protected by Filin, and the only one who really got beaten in front of the stage was Orfa.

It was Orfa who launched the attack almost every time. Orfa fought and retreated. Orfa was in a dilemma and had no way to escape. Orfa was attacked by the Expedition Knights.

"Hey! This is not a solution."

Orfa also has his strengths, such as his never-give-up attitude. Even after being beaten to the point where his head was bandaged and his neck was in a cast, he still didn't give up on making trouble.

Just when he was madly preparing to attack ordinary people to attract the church army, a mage's subordinate came into the room on crutches. Yes, everyone was injured now, literally, but the miracle was that no one in this group died. It can only be said that the mage really has many life-saving skills.

"Lord Earl has new instructions. The family has received the previous materials. After analysis, there is nothing special. Now astrology has found that there is a sign of the fall of a star beast in a neighboring country. Therefore, Lord Orfa and Lord Enil are required to put down their work and return to the family together. There is also a task to be handed over to Lord Filin, which will be conveyed through intelligence transmission later." After the mage's subordinate finished speaking, he handed the magic scroll to Orfa, "The specific contents are all here, please take a look, Lord Orfa."

Orfa chuckled, "It seems that father has lost his patience."

Enier thought for a moment, "I thought he would really come, but it turns out he was just talking. I thought I could see him fighting with the deities of the sect."

Philin breathed a sigh of relief. There were too many secrets here, and he was a little worried when he heard that the Earl was coming. Now that the plan had changed, he naturally relaxed a lot.

I can temporarily escape from the quagmire of the Star Beast War. Now I want to go back to the hotel to have a good rest, relax and take a hot bath.

A few days later, Orfa left first, and Enil and Filin returned to the inn smoothly without any rush.

On the way back, Feilin thought about how to write the letter: "Speaking of which, what is your secret mission? Have you completed it?"

During the time he was away, Filin never stopped writing letters to his family. This was mainly because he had prepared some letters before leaving and had already asked people to send them back at different times.

Enil had no psychological burden and told all the secrets: "It's not a secret mission. Just find a way to meet Hecate and find a chance to poison her. If there is no chance, ask for information about Dorothy and find a way to figure out her whereabouts. There are clues that Dorothy has come to Miriam's vicinity. The family believes that she is good friends with Hecate and will most likely appear in Miriam. If possible, just investigate the general situation of Miriam's witch organization from other angles. Now I understand a lot."

Feilin was a little worried: "Doesn't this mean that it's not even finished?"

"So I hope my brother can help me~." Enil hugged Felin's arm and rubbed it, "Aren't you on good terms with Miss Felix? Use your relationship as a witch to meet Hecate and poison her. It doesn't matter what the poison is, the key is to make Hecate look poisoned."

Feilin nodded: "And then?"

Enil lowered his voice and said, "It would be best if Hecate is not seen at the Witches' Banquet this year."

Except for the last point, the other information is not difficult to manipulate, because it is interesting, and it is not difficult to ask Hecate to act, but why make Hecate weak? What is the Count's conspiracy? Or does he have a good way to poison Hecate, who is also a god?

Come on, this is a witch who has been eating wild mushrooms for more than a thousand years without dying.

Bahamut has been dealt with, and Filin's heart is relieved a lot. He will find an opportunity after receiving the commission from the god Arius. Now there is a meat grinder near the abandoned mine. As for the family, he just needs to continue to create information cocoons and send back true and false information to let them know who is the expert in studying witches.

Then, Filin finally returned to his hotel, only to find a big hole in the roof.

Feilin rubbed his eyes. His first reaction when he got home was that he had taken the wrong road. “What happened?”

Enil craned his neck and asked, "Were you attacked?"

Nishinoka seemed to be overworked. She sat at the door and drank tea. She didn't get up until Filin approached. "You're finally back. First of all, don't get me wrong. What happened in the kitchen wouldn't blow up the roof of the third floor. This was done by a new alchemist. She seems to be Fili's friend."

Feilin thought of Carol. He had agreed to lend her the workshop. Otherwise, after Feili's workshop was built, the label on the crucible had not been removed.

As for Fili, she had to stay in the border city to continue managing order and contact the elves when she was free. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to run back and forth. Even if he didn't mind the trouble, he had to consider Serena's hard work.

Philin looked up at the roof. Carol was hammering and patching up the cracks with a lot of wooden boards. The alchemist probably couldn't fix the house. "What's wrong with you, Nishinohana? You look so tired."

Nishinoka uttered an "oh" and looked a little disappointed. "Miss Carol said alchemy can also cultivate mushrooms. I tried it and got poisoned. I've been suffering from severe insomnia for the past two days."

Filin and Enier went from being speechless to slowly clapping their hands, expressing their admiration for the diversity of talent.

Chapter 96 Daily Exercise

It turns out that even witches cannot withstand industrial mushrooms. No matter which world it is, the most terrible pollution comes from chemistry.

Fortunately, Nishino Hana was the only victim of the poisoning incident, otherwise it would be disastrous if food safety issues were exposed in the future, such as the existence of mushrooms that could even poison witches.

On second thought, if such a rumor really spread, it might cause the hotel's business to decline, or even attract a large number of witches to the hotel.

Now at least one thing is certain, that is, Carol is not an easy person to deal with. She is a top alchemist on the surface, but in fact she is Miriam's best bricklayer.

When I met Carol as Philin, there was a little awkwardness between them.

Specifically, Carol thought that the way she sat on the hole and patched up the breach was not elegant enough: "Uh, are you Filin? Hello, I'm not some weird person. It was Fili who gave me the key here. I'm the alchemist Carol. Have you heard of me? I'm actually quite famous."

Feilin shook his head seriously: "No."

Carol smiled modestly: "Well, anyway, even though I blew up the room, it can be repaired quickly."

High-level alchemists tend to be very low-key when doing civil engineering.

When Filin left the workshop, he saw Scathach shivering at the edge of the corridor. When he saw the little dragon lady, Filin couldn't help but pat his head. It turned out that there was such a person in the inn. He almost forgot about it.

Feilin walked over with a smile: "What are you doing hiding there?"

When Scathach was first picked up, she didn't know the rules very well. She was like a wild animal and would show her teeth at anyone she felt uncomfortable with. Now Scathach is much more well-behaved and sensible than when she first came. She is not so ungrateful, has learned a lot of skills, and generally speaking, has become like a human being.

If Scathach had animal ears or a tail, they would definitely be drooping now: "Ever since Sister Carol moved in, I've been sensing a dangerous aura."

Feilin spread his hands: "It's okay, no matter what happens, this is the safest place, no matter what danger occurs, you can find anyone."

Generally speaking, if any dangerous people break into the hotel, they are the ones who are in real danger.

Besides, it was suspected that the witches led by Mediya were secretly conducting experiments and turning ordinary human girls like Scathach into dragons. Scathach escaped the disaster because of her special bloodline and dragon stone. Now Mediya was physically evaporated by Enil and those minions were also dismissed. No one should cause trouble for Scathach.

Scathach seemed to have something to say to Filin, but she held it back. She seemed to realize that she was a little resentful of Filin for giving in, but she also wanted to thank him for the comfort. She didn't know how to express it. Her eyes rolled around and she hurriedly changed the subject: "Brother Filin, when will Sister Fili come back?"

Feilin raised his finger and said, "Feili is very busy now. She has to coordinate the security issues in the border cities and there are a lot of things waiting for her to do. But there will always be a day when she has some free time. Maybe when Feili comes back, she will want to have hot tea and cake as soon as possible."

Scathach nodded: "I, I can make tea now, but I still need to learn how to make cakes."

Feilin gave a thumbs up and said, "Then study hard. It doesn't matter if you ask me or Nishinoka for help."

Scathach put her hands behind her back, not knowing what to say. She quickly made an excuse to run away and clean other rooms.

As Scathach ran away, Filin felt someone grabbing the corner of his clothes. When he pulled it back, he found that Enil was staring at him.

Enier was like a ghost: "Brother, you don't even let such a young child go?"

Feilin is a reasonable person: "When you ask me this, I don't think there is a problem with me, but with you. Based on normal people's logical reasoning, do you think I would do it?"

Erniel lowered his head and thought for a while: "According to normal logic, children of our age should be pursuing free love. Look at the nobles in the Imperial Academy. The young boys and girls live carefree under the protection of their elders."

Feilin shrugged: "If we encounter a dragon in the wild, we can slap it twice. Let the royal family fight Bahamut and try."

Enier's voice became longer and longer. As they walked, he suddenly jumped on Filin's back and hugged Filin tightly. "How long do we have to wait? Brother Filin? I thought I was not afraid of anything, but every time I finished a mission and was about to return to my family, I was really reluctant. I always thought that it would be better if we could escape alone."

Filin froze for a moment. Because this was a different world and marriage conditions were relatively free, Enil might have developed unnecessary feelings.

Feilin turned around and tapped Enier on the forehead: "What do you usually say? Emotions are superfluous and will make people vulnerable, right? You should hide your feelings. We are competitors."

Erniel made a face and let go of his hand: "It's rare to find a man like my brother, gentle, family-oriented and able to cook. After you deal with the earl, you won't have any goals, and you will definitely stay at home every day. How can I let go of such a good brother?"

Feilin was quite happy to hear someone praising him like that. His life in his previous life was quite satisfactory, and he had no need for fighting and conquering after traveling through time. Normally, he could just find a piece of land to grow some crops, raise a sheepdog, and live happily. But who knew that he would meet such a sick family.

But when I think back to the past, I actually feel that Enier's mental state is quite troublesome. Maybe she was treated well in her childhood, maybe even someone helped her up when she fell, or gave her a piece of candy when she was sad, and she would remember it for the rest of her life.

In the past, Enil had caused me a lot of trouble, and their interactions were all quite fun. But now I feel a heavy feeling coming from Enil. Is a boss battle going to happen at the entrance?

What's the heaviest object in the world? A rock? A block of iron? Magic gravity? Will you play band with me for life?

In short, this feeling of being one-sidedly dependent is indeed quite strong. Feilin really felt Enier's persistence. She even felt jealous of Feili!

The more Feilin thought about it, the more worried he became, and he began to sweat. It seemed that Feili's identity could never be exposed. If it was exposed, it would mean double death in life and society.

Wu Lingyi bullies leeks

Wait a minute, it seems that both sides are having a hard time. Filin is sensing the situation on Fili's side at the same time. The female knight Serena over there is also a strange existence. She has developed feelings for Fili that are more than friendship. The people in this world are really strange! Is it because the individual power has become stronger, the choice of mate has become freer?

In the end, when Enil returned to his family, it was quite straightforward and without any delay, and he even left some money for Filin.

Very good, from this perspective, Enier is a good sister.

The inn suddenly became much quieter. Only Nishinoka, Scathach and the new arrival Carol were left. Nishinoka often went out to look for food, while Carol stayed at home all the time. The inn was really empty.

Filin has a strong adaptability to a quiet life and soon began to study his talents. He is rarely seen except for eating and cooking.

So the loneliest person is still Scathach, because Filin often feels the changes in the power of deception in the room, so every day Scathach is the only one wandering around the inn. It would be a lie to say that she is not lonely given her age.

With Fili away and Nishinohana nowhere to be found, Scathach seems to be becoming dependent on Fili.

In fact, Scathach was in a confused stage. Her past family was a very bad place. In her memory, her parents were ordinary people, but her appearance was somewhat abnormal from ordinary people. At a fixed time every month, her eyes would become vertical pupils, so she was rejected by her parents. Therefore, after being rescued by Fili, she did not think about looking for her hometown because she had no memories of it at all.

As for the future? Following Fili? Yes, but following Fili is a big option. After seeing the people around Fili, Scathach felt inferior. She can't do anything.

Scathach is actually very good at reading the atmosphere. After resisting Filin several times, she realized that she was just a freeloader. This is not only a problem of life, but also a problem of attitude.

Then every night I thought about being saved by Fili, is this kind of lazy life my destiny?

Being a glutton in a daze, being supported with a clear conscience, doing nothing all day long, even giving a bad look to Feilin who was helping him gently, and then resisting learning without knowing what is good for him. Is such a life worth saving?

Definitely not. As she gradually put herself in other people's shoes, Scathach rolled around in the quilt all night, wanting to strangle herself for being ungrateful. Why was she so ignorant?

Such thoughts often made Scathach toss and turn in bed like a bug, and she could not fall asleep until she was really sleepy.

However, during this period, Scathach would have strange dreams, and after falling asleep, she seemed to be observing the room from another person's perspective.

This perspective came in from outside the door, looked around the room, then stared at himself on the bed, gradually approached and stretched out his hand.
