Oops, I became the witch's substitute

Soon, Fili met Serena and sensed resentment from the female knight.

"I've been worried about you getting into danger since I wasn't with you." Serena held the hilt of the sword, "Can I provide you with some protection now?"

Fili snapped her fingers and said, "Of course, Serena, your protective power is quite strong. You can even block two attacks of Bahamut's Infinite Enlightenment. You can be called powerful enough."

Serena's expression improved a little: "I heard from Lady Hecate that something big seems to have happened within the sect."

Fili just wanted to divert Serena's attention, and this story was just right for her. So while sitting down to drink tea, she told Serena the story of her adventure in the Holy Kingdom and how she tamed that half-baked false god.

In this way, Fili stayed in the border city for half a month, recuperating, supervising order, writing ordinary letters to Carol, exchanging her feelings about the Bahamut Star Core, and settling down for the time being.

If nothing unexpected happens, the accident will happen.

The camera turned to Film's side. It was still a day when the sun was rising high. Scathach was cleaning the inn, Nishinoka was cooking normally, and Film also inspected and appreciated the decoration of the inn.

"Uh-huh, is this the place?"

A voice that sounded familiar to Filin came.

"I heard from the judges that Fili lives in a place like this. The food in this hotel is so delicious that it even attracts her. I want to see what it is like!"

Then, Marian, who did not hide her black wings, walked in from outside and snapped her fingers at the bewildered Scathach.

"Girl over there, can you give me the menu?"

"……OK."

In fact, winged people are not uncommon. In this world, in addition to winged people, there is also flying demons, and the more common wing colors are black, white and gray. Although Miriam rarely sees winged people, there are some, and passers-by will not make a fuss about Marian.

Scathach and Nishinoka were both surprised by the rare guests. Currently, the inn is still not officially open for business. Only regular customers come to eat and stay at the inn, and occasionally a witch appears.

Only Philin felt terrible when he saw Jasmine. Why did this silly crow goddess come here?

Chapter 106 Black Cat Pavilion

The inn run by Filin was renamed "Black Cat Pavilion". As the family's intelligence base in Miriam, it has been in a half-dead state for a long time. After all, the previous superior was not professional enough in his own business, let alone good at running an inn. When Filin took office, he became a dead ghost, making the already declining business status only frequented by sparrows.

After using Fili's identity to help exorcise ghosts, Fili carried out drastic renovations on the hotel. Now a year has passed, and the hotel has been modernized from the lobby to the kitchen to the guest rooms.

Filin used the knowledge from previous lives and the magic technology of this life to carry out modern renovations, basically restoring the quality of high-quality accommodation. The witches that Nishinohua invited to play all said it was good after seeing it.

During this period, Filin's plan changed several times. At first, he wanted to pretend to be an artistic young man and exchange a piano from Selena's house. Later, he felt that running a hotel was too troublesome, so he wanted to narrow the scope of business, so it became a strange hotel with a sign but no operation. The monthly turnover was pitifully small, but with Fili there, Miriam never came to collect taxes.

In a sense, Filin has regarded the hotel as his first home in this world.

So when he saw Marian appear in the hotel, Philin was filled with a hundred kinds of awkwardness. What was going on? He had to pretend that he didn't know Marian at all, but he was very alert in his heart. Was she here to steal the house? Wasn't she happily serving as a goddess in the Holy Kingdom?

"Hurry up, hurry up. I heard that your craftsmanship is very good, right?" Jasmine urged patiently.

Scathach felt a little unfamiliar with the idea of ​​handing over a menu. After being urged, she realized that this was a hotel and hurriedly handed a menu to Marian.

Feilin also came down at this time. When he heard Marian's voice, he asked casually, "Excuse me, who did you hear this from?"

Marian glanced over the menu repeatedly: "Of course it's my Inquisitor. Ahem, fellow Inquisitor, I work in the secret department, you know."

The power of deception seemed to show signs of being able to transmit divine powers.

Filin's face was about to twist, but he also felt a little curious: "Are the guests from a neighboring country?"

After all, gods were life forms higher than him, and even if Marian was a newborn chick, he had to be careful of her special abilities, lest she discover flaws in him.

At the same time, Film also had to observe Marian. This was the first time he actively interfered with the existence of the goddess. The false factor packaged people's beautiful imagination of the goddess and used it to shape Marian's three views. It might also provide some kind of protection, so that she could become a good goddess before she was eroded by the huge desires in her faith.

According to the past fabricated for Marian at the time, if Arius was really the goddess of the sect, it would probably be like this.

Marian nodded. "Yes, but there's no point in telling you this. You don't understand how stressful your work is until you actually do it. There are endless things to deal with every day. I don't have the chance to go out alone. It's rare that I see something that interests me, but my colleagues will refuse me on the grounds that it's unhygienic or beneath my dignity."

At this time, Scathach brought over the black tea. Marian still hadn't decided what to eat. She felt unprecedented curiosity about all the dishes on the menu, marveling that these were things that humans could eat.

How bad are the food conditions in the Holy Kingdom? Why did they scare away the newly appointed goddess? Is there another reason why Arius doesn't want to become the sect's present god?

Feilin continued to stand by, like a waiter: "So, guest, what are you going to eat? Our restaurant specializes in Miriam's various dishes and folk dishes. If you like, you can also try witch-style meals and cakes. In addition, we have street stir-fry, hot and cold dishes, you can choose whatever you want."

Jasmine raised the menu and waved it, a little puzzled: "Put aside the ordering for now, let me ask you something, you are the boss here, right? Your name is Feilin, right? I asked a colleague who I have a general relationship with, and I heard that you and Feili are friends, why didn't she come back?"

So you are here to see Fili, right? Then I will leave?

Feilin replied: "Miss Feili is still on official business and will be back soon. If you have anything to say, I can pass it on for you."

Marian looked at the menu again. "This... yes, this one. Manager Film, I want a plate of secret dried fish, lion's head, ginkgo radish and pork ribs soup, mapo tofu, bamboo steamed egg, vegetarian noodles, mochi balls, fish-flavored pork shreds, potato shreds, braised eel, crucian carp soup, and a drink of que wine. Oh, and what is this amnesia mushroom?"

Feilin knew most of the menus in the store, but he was not very familiar with the menu specially developed by Nishinoka. The mushroom dishes were marked with a red danger sign - "Mushroom dishes are not very friendly to ordinary people, please choose carefully."

Filin craned his neck to take a look, and nodded at most: "Literally, it's a mushroom that causes amnesia. Wait, why is this on the menu?"

Jasmine was stunned for a moment: "Although I don't quite understand, let's give it a try."

Fiering then asked, "Are you alone, guest?"

Jasmine nodded: "Of course, don't worry, I can finish it all!"

Feilin shook his head: "That's not what I'm worried about, but do you have any money on you?"

Because no matter how you look at it, Marian didn't have any luggage on her, let alone a bag to hold money.

Jasmine was stunned for a few seconds, then she forced a smile and said, "Felix and I are very familiar with each other, close friends for life and death, so..."

It would be fine if this was not mentioned. As soon as this was mentioned, Filin got angry. They were indeed friends for life and death. Look at what you have done. You killed Fili's clone and then resurrected her as a witch. You have indeed experienced a journey of life and death.

Feilin was about to reach out and take out the menu: "Stop it, sir. There are many people who know Miss Feili's name now. If you want to eat and drink for free..."

With a clang, Marian laid the wing on the table and plucked the feathers from it.

Marian had no choice but to use her last resort: "Here you go!"

Feilin didn't quite understand what she meant: "Sorry, our restaurant has its own fried chicken wings..."

Marian's voice became anxious: "I mean the feathers. Just pluck whichever one you like. It can be useful."

Feilin was puzzled: "So?"

The feathers of the goddess sound useful, but what are they for?

Just as Philin was hesitating, a sound came from upstairs.

"Leave it to me!" Carol rushed to the stairs, jumped over the railing, and rushed to Marian, panting, "This beautiful and kind lady, how many feathers can you give me? I will exchange them with gold... What are you doing!"

The last sentence was said to Philin. Carol had just taken out a bag of gold when Philin reached out to stop her.

Veins gradually bulged on Filin's forehead. "What are you doing? Don't think I don't know that you made all this gold using alchemy, right?"

Carol was shocked: "What, how could you see through my alchemy, it's perfect..."

Feilin felt that this nerdy alchemist must have gone mad: "It's fine if you use other things to make gold. I can pretend not to see it, but what you took out now are clearly the bowls, chopsticks, spoons and saucepans from the store!"

After saying that, Feilin turned to Jasmine and said, "This lady..."

Marian reminded: "That's so rude. I do have a name."

Feilin said patiently: "Then you tell me."

"That's good of you. This is a matter of great sacred honor. Be proud to know my name. My name is Marian, and I am... an inquisitor of the Arian sect." Marian's voice became smaller and smaller at the end.

Feilin snorted: "Is this all for free? If you are from the Inquisition, you must be here to spy on the witch, right?"

Jasmine waved her hands and said calmly, "That's not the case. It's nothing special. I just wanted to come here to eat today. Our cafeteria even has strange dishes like roasted snails. It feels so weird."

When Philin heard about roasted snails, he understood. After thinking about it, he decided not to make things too difficult for Marian. "How about this? Winged Man feathers are very rare and beautiful ornaments. Is forty gold per feather okay?"

Marian remained silent, plucked a black feather from her wing, and handed it to Filin: "How about this one? I am quite confident in my feathers, and I have been thinking about how to maintain them recently. They are full of divine power and are very suitable for use as healing items."

When Philin saw the feather that Marian handed to him, he fell silent. He didn't know whether there was something wrong with him or with this world. There were few normal people, including the goddess.

In short, in the end, Filin gave Marian forty gold coins, and Marian used the forty gold coins to pay for the meal. In the end, she had more than thirty gold coins left, which she took back for pocket money.

The transaction was completed, and Filin went to cook. Carol followed him all the way and wanted to get the black feather. Filin temporarily refused: "You can see that the guest is not an ordinary person, right? This feather is traded with me. It is a very rare alchemical material. Miss Carol, if you really want this feather..."

Carol didn't wait for Filin to finish, she showed an interesting expression and pulled down her left shoulder: "Let's play cards in your room tonight?"

Feilin was distracted and poured dark soy sauce instead of light soy sauce. The pot was completely dark, just like his broken heart at the moment: "Am I such a person in your eyes?"

Carol put her hands on her hips and laughed. "You are just too much. Just like what Fili said, you are gentle to everyone. You are so gentle that it seems like you are just pretending. I am just teasing you a little. But I really want that feather. Please name a price. Or is there anything you need my help with? There is nothing in this world that alchemy cannot do. The song that destroys the world does exist!"

Feilin sighed, noticing the farce in the pot, and simply poured it out and re-fried it: "I want to ask you to study my blood."

Originally, when dealing with Bahamut, Fili and Carol had a verbal deal, but because the star core was later thrown to Carol, Carol didn't want Fili's blood anymore, so Fili had to do it himself.

Moreover, Felix is ​​Felix, Felix is ​​Felix, and the exact condition of Felix's body is still unknown. Is she a human, a witch, or something else? Maybe an enhanced version of the avatar of the false? There are too many unsolved mysteries.

Carol's expression became a little more serious: "Your blood? Do you have a family genetic disease or something?"

Flin was restrained by the curse and could not directly tell Carol the reason. He gestured to Carol to let her understand: "The situation is rather tricky. Perhaps only a high-level alchemist like you can figure it out."

After that, Filin handed the black feather to Carol: "I will come to you in the evening."

Carol grabbed the feather and left. When she walked out of the kitchen, she turned back and blew a kiss to Filin without any sincerity: "Okay, brother, you go ahead and do your work. See you in the evening."

First there was Marian, then Carol, these two are exhausting.

Nishinoka approached from the side wearing an apron, her face full of interest: "Don't be in a daze, I heard that the guests also ordered some mushroom dishes, right? Here I come."

Feilin felt very lucky, at least there was a reliable cook at home: "Then I'll leave it to you. The guests ordered a lot of dishes, and it will be faster if two of us work together."

Nishinoka couldn't help but ask, "Is this considered a rehearsal before the official opening? If we really open the business, the kitchen might be too busy for just the two of us, and you might be asked to perform part-time, so I wonder if we can hire a few more people?"

Feilin thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about this matter. I need to hire more people. Do you have any familiar friends?"

Nishinoka nodded: "The one you know is Charlotte. She is actually very good at making cakes and pastries. Then she summoned a few familiars, and finally..."

Feilin waved his hand, "I partially agree. It would be great if we could recruit other witches. It would also be great if we could summon familiars to make the inn more lively. However, I still have to consider hiring some locals, whether to help in the kitchen or serve as waiters in the front."

Nishinoka had no objection: "That's settled then."

After a brief discussion, the two of them got busy, and soon the table in front of Jasmine was filled with delicious dishes.

Before she actually saw the dishes, she had never thought that she could have such a feast. After eating, Marian's expression was one of surprise, melancholy, nostalgia and distress. She stared at Filin for a long time, as if she was planning a kidnapping or something.

But Marian's attention soon turned to the delicious food.

"Is this the amnesia mushroom? There are quite a lot of them. Let me try some."

"Is this the amnesia mushroom? It's okay, let me try it."

"Is this the amnesia mushroom? Why is there so little of it? Do you think I can't afford it?"

"Manager, where are the amnesia mushrooms I ordered? Are they not ready yet?"

The witch is pure. The consequences of using mushrooms to cook dishes are written in the name of the dish... No, are the witch's mushrooms too dangerous? Or is this goddess too lame? Or is Marian really a stupid crow?

Feilin now doesn't dare to eat the chicken stewed with mushrooms in the store.

Chapter 107 Fili on the way back

At night, Philin knocked on the door of Carol's alchemy workshop. After hearing a response, he slowly pushed the door open and saw Carol studying the goddess' feather.

The feathers of the black wing floated in a container. The container emitted a sacred light above and turbid darkness settled below, which looked very ominous.

Carol looked back at Filin and said, "This guest is very special. The power of her feather alone is equal to that of a transcendent. She is stronger than all the people in the hotel combined."

However, such a strong man was no match for mushrooms. It seems that mushrooms are the strongest.

"What are you going to do with this feather?" asked Fiering.

Carol answered frankly: "I want to separate the two forces. The divine power can be made into holy medicine, and the following can be made into poison. The alchemical waste after making poison can also be used to cultivate fungi."

The Holy Spirit Medicine can almost be considered a universal recovery medicine. It is a 100% life recovery item in the game, which can remove all abnormal states. Although the Holy Spirit Medicine in this world is not as exaggerated as the effect in the game, it can still save half the life of a dying person. The key is that it is still effective for those with divine power. It is an important life-saving item, which is better than the medicine made from the blood of star beasts.

"Do you have a grudge against the witch?"

"It was Nishinohana who gave me the inspiration. Poisonous mushrooms are also mushrooms. Today the witches like them, so I cultivated them and made a deal with them. You also have to believe in the witches themselves. They are curious and want to study mushrooms. They won't eat everything."

"……Maybe."

Filin would never eat any mushrooms recommended by the witch.

Carol quickly walked to the cabinet next to her and took out some utensils: "It's time to study you next. Come on, take off your clothes and let me see."
