Oops, I became the witch's substitute

Qianxunro 1② 1 1

However, the incarnation of falsehood is not without flaws. When the real body is too far away, the incarnation of falsehood will be slightly slow in reaction.

Scathach raised her head in Fili's arms: "Sister...can I call you that?"

Fili smiled and said, "Whatever you like. Also, I want to ask you, do you plan to stay here?"

Scathach nodded: "I want to be with my elder sister."

The outside world is very dangerous for Scathach, and she doesn't know whether the organization will continue to look for her. She thinks they will, because the value of Dragonstone is immeasurable.

Fili patted her head and said, "If you want to stay here, you have to learn how to be an ordinary person. I heard from Fili that you are clumsy and have a lot to learn."

As soon as she finished speaking, Scathach glanced sideways, looking at Filin with resentment all over her body.

Fili smiled bitterly. What kind of a fight is this? Then she took out a nice bracelet with a small bell from her pocket.

"Here, Scathach, this is for you. It's both a gift and a training tool."

"exercise?"

"Yes."

Fili lifted her sleeves to reveal the same bells.

"You should start with your daily life like I did. I hope you will always be careful about your actions. Even when you are running, the bells should not make any sound. When you reach this level, I will teach you other things."

When in the Morgana family, the first stage of etiquette courses was to walk with a book on the head without it falling, and to dance with bracelet bells without making noises. The family called this elegance.

Scathach couldn't help but open her mouth wide, and screamed in her heart, "Can this really be done?" But since her elder sister did it, she pretended to be obedient and nodded in agreement.

Looking at it from another perspective, it’s also nice that she and her elder sister are wearing the same bell.

Fili smiled secretly in her heart. This child had obviously agreed reluctantly, but he still pretended to be a good child.

Thinking about it again, her elder sister is very strong, so the training method her elder sister mentioned must be correct. She needs to become stronger and follow this witch to learn her skills.

Seeing Scathach struggling, Fili added.

"I'll give you a month. If you can master this skill by yourself, it means you have talent. If not, I'll teach you 'Cat's Agility' first. Well, I have something else to do and I have to leave now. You must listen to Filin carefully in the hotel."

"……it is good."

Don't want to listen >_<.

In Scathach's heart, she subconsciously regarded Filin as a man as cunning as a fox. She couldn't see through his thoughts, so she was a little scared.

But Fili is like the bright sunshine, the oasis in the desert, the moon in the sky, and she is the dragon lady of the near moon.

Chapter 010: Witch's Makeup Skills

Filin discovered that during their time in the inn, Scathach was very afraid of contact with strangers and would often peek out of the windows on the second and third floors, apparently worried about being pursued or something like that.

So when playing the role of Fili, I focused on comforting Scathach and boosting her confidence.

Fili tried to make her smile contagious: "I picked you up. No one would turn a blind eye to a wounded and dying child in the wild, right? But I always saw that you looked worried in the past few days. Did you sneak out from somewhere?"

Scathach hesitated to speak, fearing that she would say something wrong or make Fili feel a sense of crisis and drive her away. She wanted to stay here not only to avoid the crisis, but also to repay her gratitude.

Fili raised her finger and analyzed the next survival strategy for Shaka, the most important of which was camouflage.

"Don't worry, I'm too lazy to investigate your past. Next, you can learn how to put on makeup from me." Fili suggested. She had planned to create a fictitious witch identity long ago, and naturally she had learned the relevant skills thoroughly.

"Makeup...?" Scathach was greatly surprised. This was a word that had nothing to do with her.

Soon, Fili pushed the little dragon girl in front of the dressing table.

"You have a good foundation. You will definitely be a beauty when you grow up. Even if you work as a clerk here, you will be very eye-catching. So, I suggest you make your skin darker and put some freckles on both sides of your nose to look more rustic. Uh-huh, sit still and don't move."

Makeup is a magical skill that can turn people into ghosts, or turn ghosts into people. Fili belongs to the latter.

After mixing potions and applying cosmetics, Scathach's skin became much darker, as if it had been exposed to the sun for a week in the summer. After freckles were added to her face, she had become a completely different person. Then she dyed her hair brown and put on glasses. Now she looked like a complete country girl.

Scathach now has no figure and her looks are too ordinary. Since she is wearing makeup, traditional magic technology cannot detect it. This disguise is perfect.

"Amazing." Scathach opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar self in the mirror.

"Don't just sigh. You need to learn how to mix the potion to change your skin color, as well as all the makeup techniques that come after. I may not be able to help you with makeup every day. Before you learn, if I'm not here, you can go find Feilin." Feili put away her makeup box.

"Why would he do that too?" Scathach didn't understand.

Feili smiled sweetly: "Well, when I am busy, Feilin will also help me put on makeup. He is a very careful and gentle man."

What is your relationship?

Scathach raised her eyes slightly: "I will definitely learn it! No, I will memorize the steps today!"

Fili encouraged her: "Very good, keep going."

Up to this point, Fili thought that this wave of mutual utilization was still very good. After appeasing Scathach and assigning her daily training assignments, Fili would continue to act in this identity.

There are many ways for a witch to increase her popularity, nothing more than revealing her identity and waiting for the fish to take the bait.

However, Filin wants to adopt another strategy. He hopes to make Fili an idol-type witch, and an omnipotent witch, who actively promotes herself.

Good wine needs no bush, and if you want to become a great witch, you have to market yourself.

It is Feilin's ambition to develop the character of Fili into a world-known great witch, and then to cling to his own thighs and use the resources obtained from the great witch to break the family's control over himself and gain true freedom.

However, becoming a so-called great witch is not something that can be achieved overnight. Now Fili still has to work hard for a piano.

Today, Fili came to the Adventurer's Guild again, but the receptionist, Miss Savile, still didn't find her in the crowd until most of the other adventurers had left, and then she saw Fili under the notice board.

Is this some kind of magic? When Xavier thought that Fili was a witch, he imagined all the magical phenomena to be magical.

Xavier came over and gently shook his body to observe Fili. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her and the more he envied her. As a woman, she was not as good as Miss Witch in every aspect. "Miss Fili, are you looking for a mission?"

Fili smiled faintly: "Well, I want to find a suitable task, but I don't want to travel far. I want a piano recently. Can the association help spread the news? In exchange for the piano, I can complete a work that does not violate morality for the client."

Savile thought about it carefully. It was not without precedent for similar employment models. The problem often lies in the remuneration: "The piano is very valuable. Only nobles or wealthy businessmen can afford such a remuneration. However, no one like him has been issuing commissions recently..."

Just as she was thinking, the sound of armor rubbing came from the side, and a fully armed female knight came to the notice board and then bowed to Fili with her hands on her chest.

Fili recognized this female knight, she was the one who stayed at her own inn, it seemed that she had been traveling around looking for other witches for the past few days, but she finally found herself.

"Dear witch, Master Fili, if you like the piano, I can pay you this reward, but I hope you can lend a hand and save my territory."

Fili responded calmly: "Save... Well, although I just said that I don't want to go far away, I can't turn a blind eye to those who are suffering, right, knight?"

The female knight praised: "Sir Fili is indeed a man of high character. I salute you."

Fili waved her hands hastily: "Don't keep using honorifics. It's quite weird. We look about the same age. Just call me by my name."

The female knight then realized her mistake: "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Serena, the eldest daughter of the neighboring lord. The water source in the territory has dried up and there are poisonous dragons. We have failed in several attempts to subdue them, so we hope to seek the help of the witch."

After hearing the content of the commission, Fili's mind was filled with a storm.

Although the magic of deception is naturally good at disguise, direct combat with monsters has always been her weakness.

Having said that, Serena had high hopes for inviting a witch like herself, and in a place like the Association, refusing the commission would go against the original purpose.

Besides, we don’t know whether the drying up of the water source is related to the appearance of the poisonous dragon. The former might be solved by magic or water storage technology, but if the latter is an unfamiliar monster, we might end up in a tough fight.

There is a bit of a gamble here. In order to become the so-called great witch as soon as possible, Fili decided to accept this challenge.

This brainstorming lasted only two seconds, and then he immediately agreed: "No problem, then Miss Savile, the association should have a notarized contract here, please help me and Knight Serena to draw up a commission contract."

Savile was also happy with the result: "Leave it to me."

After signing the contract, Knight Princess Serena seemed to have let go of a worry and took a long breath. Then she bent her body quite skillfully, with one hand on her back and the other hand reaching out to Fili, like a gentleman inviting a lady to dance at a ball.

"There is no time to lose, Miss Fili. Are you good at riding? Please forgive me for not preparing a carriage this time. The matter is urgent. Let's set off immediately."

Fili gently placed her hand on Serena's: "I don't mind riding a warhorse with a good knight."

The two smiled at each other and became friends at that moment.

At the same time, Serena couldn't help but marvel at the fact that she herself was a woman, and although she was raised as a man by her father since she was a child, she still understood her identity as a woman, especially as she was still a young girl, so naturally she had some lovely hobbies.

However, holding Fili's hand, from the moment she sat on the warhorse, he couldn't help but sigh at Fili's body. Even through the gloves, he could feel her softness. After riding on the warhorse, it was as if he was holding a ball of cotton, and he was afraid that he would hurt Fili by using too much force.

Similarly, Fili couldn't help but sigh at Serena's temperament, which was heroic yet gentle. Such a cool woman must have a great appeal to young girls. She must be the type that young girls would want to get close to even if they knew they were of the same sex.

However, Fili also has worries, because this time she will be a little further away from the clone and go to other territories. According to the rules of deception, although she can still control the clone, this kind of control will produce a certain delay, and memory sharing will also be slow.

Although she had a plan in mind about Serena's predicament, she was worried about accidents and was generally a little nervous, but she would not show her nervousness on the surface.

On the way, Fili specifically asked: "Speaking of which, Serena, didn't you find other witches?"

Serena answered without hesitation, "I found it. I visited the Wang family and met the secret witch, Miss Hecate. To be honest, we can't afford the reward she offered."

Fili tried to ask: "Money?"

Celica's voice was a little depressed: "It's not just money, but also secrets... Although I don't quite understand what secrets I have to hand over, the money alone is enough to stump me. To be honest, I am short of money right now."

Well, not all nobles are rich, and Fili understands this.

But the amount of food you eat in the hotel doesn't show that you are short of money.

Like their family, they monopolized several kinds of magic minerals in the empire and had many friends in the education field, so they had a lot of money. But it was different for the small nobles outside. To put it more extremely, some small nobles might go bankrupt even if they held a grand banquet.

Fili did not continue to ask questions, but instead raised some more questions about magic materials. In order to facilitate the possible battles that might occur later, these things must be considered carefully.

On the other hand, just after Fili left, Fili's clone got into new trouble. In the past few days, he clearly felt that there were many people sneaking around the inn. If nothing unexpected happened, they might be the people who killed Ma Wen.

"Scathach, don't go out casually these few nights. If you see anyone suspicious, don't get into a conflict with them. If there is any danger, escape to my room in time."

"If there is any danger, I will solve it myself. I don't need your help... And why are you making excuses to ask me to go to your room? Sister Fili has to go away for a while because of work. Are you impatient?"

What a difficult brat? What's more, what are you thinking? What's so impatient about your bulletproof steel body? Do you have one tenth of the charm of my clone Fili? Grow up first, asshole.

Philin was also very curious about what secrets were hidden in the hotel, but he didn't want to conflict with an unknown force now. If the false clone suffered a fatal injury, it would disappear. In addition, thinking about things on two fronts made him very stressed.

Chapter 011 There seems to be a brilliant witch

Philin, who stayed in the inn, is now in the state of a virtual clone. Simply put, it is a physical existence of magic power. If it receives a fatal injury, it will disappear, and the contact with the original body will be lost.

I discussed the strange things happening here with Fili, and the conclusion was to protect the hotel and wait and see what happens.

After all, when someone threatens you with a knife on the street, the best thing to do is to turn around and run and call the police.

The problem was that the people sneaking around the hotel were unwilling to be lonely. They were just testing the waters during the day, but they got serious at night. They first rummaged through the cellar, and Feilin watched silently in the dark, gritting his teeth and enduring it.

On the first night, these people broke several beer barrels and the beer spilled all over the floor, but Filin still endured it.

The next night, when they finally went up to the second floor to investigate the passengers, Filin was furious.

Heads may be cut, blood may be shed, and even the hotel’s property may be damaged, but the guests cannot be disturbed. This is a matter of reputation!

Through the last investigation, it was discovered that these people were the ones who killed Ma Wen, they were few in number and their level of thieves was considered elite, and they were obviously desperately looking for something.

The clone discussed with Fili despite the delay, let's take action, keeping giving in will only make people think you are easy to bully.

The false illusion came quietly.

The hotel, which serves as a base, has already set up some traps before this, so the virtual clone can actually operate.

Of course, the most important thing is that no matter how powerful ordinary people or masters are, they are not as strong as the magic first kill.

The thieves who sneaked into the inn were scattered, in groups of two, and no one was alone.

But after Feilin started taking action, it was difficult for them to avoid being left alone. The two of them would often be walking and suddenly turn around, and their companion would disappear behind them. When they turned around again, they would be punched in the stomach and tied up with a sack.

These thieves are quite powerful, but they cannot defeat magic, and illusion is the ability that is most restraining to ordinary people, so the battle is one-sided.

For example, the thief who first went to the second floor is now going up and down from the second floor to the first floor repeatedly, confused by the illusion.

The noise attracted some residents to come out to watch the fun, and there was even an enthusiastic adventurer who was ready to help subdue them. As a result, the adventurer entered the stairs and followed the robbers up and down.

From their perspective, the staircase seemed to have no end. This was an illusion created by deceptive magic.

Finally, there were thieves who sneaked into the third floor. Feilin was worried that something had happened to Xiaolong Niang. When he arrived at the third floor, he saw Xiaolong Niang stepping on two thieves with bruised faces and noses. It was obvious that she had beaten them severely.

With your fighting ability, how did you faint in the forest?
