Oops, I became the witch's substitute

There was a lot of mess going on in the border city, and there was also a barrier where witches gathered and created, which was enough for them... their work.

In the days that followed, all Filin had to do was wait for the orders for the cotton candy machines and popcorn machines to be completed so he could make more money.

After dealing with the spy issue, the other party was very grateful and Filin felt relieved. Then he was busy preparing to welcome Hecate. Filin checked the inn cleaned by Scathach and it was very clean.

Xiao Longniang has a high enthusiasm and high intensity in her work, and she seems to have endless physical strength. After mastering the skills taught by Feilin, cleaning the hotel is a piece of cake for her. Not to mention the dust on the floor and windowsills, she even catches all the mice in the hotel herself.

As for why there are no cockroaches and mosquitoes? The cockroaches were killed by Nishinoka using a special mushroom to infect the disease, and the mosquitoes were killed by Carol using a special spice after she came. The main purpose is cleanliness and hygiene.

"Nishinoka, did you hear what Fili said? We're going to entertain the Great Witch tonight."

"The great witch? Hecate? Is she coming here to eat?"

When Feilin mentioned this matter to Nishinohua, Nishinohua was quite surprised. With Hecate's life attitude of going back and forth between two places, she rarely traveled around the world except on special days. The royal family would only come to her if there was something they really couldn't handle.

"She said she wanted to entertain her friends." Feilin had to pretend to be curious and responsible. "You know all the dishes I'm good at. It's not entirely suitable for a witch to entertain for the first time. I still need your help."

Nishino Hana held her chin up and said, "We witches can have a lot of fun just by having a tea party. We can just put snacks on the table, but since Hecate has come all the way here, we should also show some enthusiasm."

Feilin raised his finger, as if he was going to mention Tie Niu Beef Noodles. "Let's make three of the hot dishes I'm good at, boiled pork slices, crab roe tofu, and chicken stewed with mushrooms. Yes, let's cook a fish. For the rest, serve some cold dishes, such as cooled roast duck and dipping sauce, sliced ​​beef, and boneless black chicken feet. Don't use too many of them. As for vegetables, you can think of more dishes but not too many. Find more of what you witches like to eat, and bring out some of the mushrooms we have in the store."

Nishinoka nodded: "Then I'll go ask Carol if she has cultivated any explosive mushrooms recently. Don't worry, leave this to me."

Hey! The mushrooms over there at Carol are all byproducts of alchemy!

Forget it, let’s not make it so clear about the witch eating mushrooms.

Qianxun③一②8㈠四㈠З㈨

Fili planned the evening menu and then started to get busy. In fact, Fili was also entangled by Scathach. Scathach showed a studious attitude today and asked Fili to teach her about magic. Since there was nothing important, Fili held Scathach in her arms and taught her magic knowledge.

By the way, I also heard about the strange things that happened to Scathach recently.

"Can't sleep well at night?" Fili felt strange. The little dragon girl was in good health at her age, her waist and legs didn't hurt, and she kept the dragon stone by herself. No one bullied her. How could she not sleep well in the magic-filled environment of the inn?

Scathach still didn't know the seriousness of the matter: "I don't know why, I keep having the same dream. I can dream that I enter this room from the door and see myself sleeping on the bed. I don't know if it's an illusion, but it feels like that perspective is getting closer and closer to me every time. These past two days, it's almost next to the bed."

Fili was shocked. There are no such coincidences in this world. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Scathach, at this carefree age, has started to have such dreams repeatedly. Someone must have used some kind of magic on her. It sounds very much like dream-seeking, which is to use some contracts and blood connections to enter the dreams of the relevant parties and find the specific location of the other party.

Under special circumstances, it can also control the body of the person being treated.

Fili was afraid that Scathach would worry, but she was even more afraid that something might happen to Scathach right under her nose, so she hugged her gently, took out another magic book, and interpreted her dream: "It's abnormal for you to have the same dream over and over again. It may be related to your past experiences. This means someone is looking for you."

Fili would not hide the seriousness of the matter. She had to let Scathach be on guard, and work together with the masters in the inn to see who dared to come and cause trouble here.

Scathach seemed to understand and felt a little uneasy when she first heard that dreaming was an abnormal event, but she soon calmed down after being comforted by Fili.

Fili first took Scathach to Carol for blood research, and then made a necklace. Then Fili used her deception ability to carve "Lost Corridor" beside Scathach's bed. This is a fixed-point deception field, which is used to make mental perception enter a state of ghost wall.

After finishing, Scathach felt overprotected and returned to the inn lobby to relax. As the two passed by the piano, Scathach suddenly remembered something.

"Sister Fili, can you teach me to dance?" Scathach thought of her miserable defeat at the hands of Fili, who said she had no femininity at all. Now her clothes and appearance are all in accordance with Fili's requirements. They look good, but she feels frustrated when she looks in the mirror every day.

Fili knew what she was thinking, so she took the opportunity to relax: "Sure, that's easy."

During the conversation, Fili took Scathach's hand, hummed a melody softly, and led her in a simple ballroom dance.

During the dance, Fili explained the rhythm and steps to Scathach, taught her the steps for both men and women, and how to cooperate and save the situation. In addition to dancing, Fili incorporated martial arts techniques as usual and told Scathach the origin of the sword dance.

A fairy sword dancer, opponents who get lost in the dance will always be ruthlessly killed.

Fairies are a race that takes pride in being the capital of art. Many musical instruments and famous songs in this world were created by fairies. They live in harmony with nature and bring forth timeless and beautiful melodies.

After the dance, Fili sat in front of the piano, tested the sound, and then played a beautiful melody. She explained the rhythm and her previous shortcomings to Scathach, and supervised her dancing alone, turning the little dragon girl into a little butterfly.

The music soon attracted Carol and Serena.

Carol was quite curious. She had heard Filin's playing skills when he was training Scathach before, and they were very skilled. Today, she heard Filin's piano again, and there was a unique similarity.

She can understand music. Her family nurtured her artistic talent. She can hear the emotions of the performers. Both Filin and Fili have incorporated emotions and habits into the melody. But how can the two be so similar? Is one the teacher of the other?

Serena didn't have so many concerns. Good music was good music. She liked Fili's piano playing. When Fili focused on something, her profile was elegant and calm, neither a flower nor mist, but like a red lotus swaying in the autumn mist.

This is actually the so-called live lighting when Fili is playing the piano, in order to make the magic resonate for the effect of the show.

After the performance, Carol couldn't help but applaud. Even if she had to travel thousands of miles, she would still praise Philly's piano playing, which was as beautiful as the fairy's harp and was worth reminiscing about.

Carol felt that she had one more reason to stay in this place: "Fili, it's a pity that your piano music is so unknown. I want more people to know the beauty of the piano. What do you think?"

Fili pretended to be surprised: "Huh? Is it okay?"

Unlike making cotton candy or popcorn machines, music art sounds very noble and is a skill that will go down in history. Carol has plans to improve her reputation: "As far as I know, other countries seem to be inventing phonographs. I'd like to give it a try."

Fili also plans to expand her business to the fairy race, and Fili also has plans regarding the piano.

The piano is a new musical instrument in this world. It originated in Filin's homeland. That magical country has created many magical versions of modern inventions because of its advanced mathematical technology. However, the invention time is still short, and many outstanding artists are relatively conservative and have not switched to this new musical instrument. Although the pioneers of the piano have also produced many outstanding artists, due to the short time, they have not had a particularly great influence.

So Film's memories of his previous life came in handy, such as spreading Canon or something. The artists in his previous life would definitely not care about their famous songs being promoted in another world, right?

Fili is now playing the "Moonlight Sonata" for Scathach. It happens to be to entertain Hecate and her friends in the evening, so she can show her presence in front of the powerful witch. In addition to Moonlight, there are also "Nocturne", "Vegamasque Suite" and "Ginoperti". The latter two may not be so familiar, but Fili was also a piano music lover in her previous life, and she also likes to listen to piano versions of two-dimensional music, so she is more familiar with them.

In this life, relying on the coordination between memory and body, she can reproduce all these famous songs. Humph, Fili's musical achievements must be based on the shoulders of giants, and although she cannot say that she has the ability to crush others, at least she can stay ahead of the times.

In the remote country of Miriam, there may not be many nobles who can appreciate art, but good music is definitely contagious, and witches, for example, are very fond of it.

But it's impossible for Fili to expand the influence of music by herself, right? It's also impossible for her to go out and perform frequently, not to mention that she needs to make money.

The melody played by the witch is a real selling point, right?

Soon, it was night time, and the ingredients that Filin had prepared for a day were finally put to use. Fili had been staying in the hall, and the two bodies felt a little awkward and depressed when they met each other.

At this moment, there were the sounds of birds singing and flowers blooming outside the door. Fili looked and saw a witch wearing a gorgeous linen hat slowly walking into the hotel. Her hat was very distinctive, with branches and leaves on the edge and decorations of different leaves on it, which was very beautiful. Fili felt that this hat still contained a living plant, which was kept fresh by the witch's magic.

"Hello, I'm Dorothy, a friend of Hecate."

Chapter 112 News about the Witch of Disaster

The Forest Witch is petite, beautiful and like a kind mother. Her clothes and appearance are very mature and charming. Even though she is only 1.4 meters tall, she gives people the aura of an older sister.

"Is Hecate not here yet? Really, she's always a step behind in making an appointment." Dorothy squinted her eyes, looking at the situation in the inn, and finally fixed her eyes on Fili, "You are the deceitful witch Fili, right? Hello, I heard your name when I came to Miriam. You are indeed an outstanding witch. Are you active in the same era as us?"

Fili joked, "No way. I am definitely younger than you. How much younger is a secret. So Ms. Dorothy, please come in and take a seat. The dinner is ready for dinner. We can start when Lady Hecate arrives. By the way, what kind of tea do you like?"

Dorothy took off her hat and handed it to Serena who was standing by her. She squinted her eyes and said slowly, "Do you have Uwo black tea? Miriam is close to the high-altitude hill country of Kalan. From July to September when the monsoon blows, the Uwo black tea on the east side of Kalan is the most missed. It has a unique minty and refreshing aroma, and the color of the tea is between bright red and orange. It looks very beautiful."

Fili breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, in order to please the witch and to show Fili's taste, the inn had purchased some high-end teas, including the one Dorothy ordered. "Please wait a moment. I'll prepare it right away."

Dorothy walked to her seat and looked at Fili closely, still squinting her eyes: "Thank you for your help. Hecate said the food here is very delicious."

This made Fili wonder if she was blind, because at this distance, it felt like Dorothy's eyes had never been open.

Just hearing these words, you would think that Dorothy is just an ordinary witch, but in fact, she is a famous witch. At her most glorious moment, she single-handedly mediated the war between humans and fairies, and formed a thousand-mile forest in the wilderness. Until now, it is still a sea of ​​trees that separates humans and fairies there. She is also called the Sage of the Forest.

However, the Forest Witch is different from other witches. She is not very good at growing mushrooms because the growth methods of mushrooms and plants are different.

Fili was busy making tea while secretly sensing that there were not many opportunities to get along with true divinities. When distance creates beauty, she felt that they could understand the way and their way of thinking must be different from that of ordinary people. In fact, when she met them, she realized that whether it was Hecate or Dorothy, their personalities were no different from those of ordinary people.

They were also curious about the evening dishes, had their favorite black tea, and were busy apologizing to Serena for mistaking a knight for a waitress in the inn.

As Hecate had not arrived yet, Fili was pulled over by Dorothy to chat. They talked and laughed, mainly about Miriam's recent situation, and asked Hecate how she led the witches here. She said that she hadn't seen her for many years, and Hecate managed Miriam in an orderly manner, and the witches actually worked in the border city.

"..." Such remarks caused a strange silence among the crowd, but Dorothy did not notice.

Fili herself could only smile awkwardly. Fortunately, the real owner appeared. Hecate sat sideways on the big magic book and slowly landed at the door of the inn.

Hecate jumped down, took off the witch's hat and patted it twice: "What are you talking about? You look so happy?"

Dorothy raised her hand and greeted him warmly: "Good evening, Hecate. It's been a long time since we last met. You are late for the party again. Are you finally getting old and unable to move?"

Hecate walked into the inn slowly: "I am not fond of sports, but I am better than you who are always in a daze and stupid, often staying in the forest to meditate until the birds build nests on your head."

Dorothy smiled and took Fili's hand. "I heard about Fili when I came here. A great witch who can hit star beasts hard sounds stronger than us. I'm glad you can come to Miriam, Fili. This way, we witches can say that we have our own home. Judging from the situation, I should move to Miriam as soon as possible."

Fili was also happy to hear that. She was worried about having no place to settle down. After leaving the family, there must be a good place, right? If Dorothy could also come to Miriam, then the Witch Kingdom would be worthy of its name. A place with two great witches must be a good harbor.

Hecate came to her seat and Fili poured her a cup of black tea.

"It must be the black tea Dorothy ordered, right? Really, mushroom tea is obviously the best." Hecate clapped her hands lightly, "Then let the kitchen prepare it. Fili, can you play a song for us? Dorothy and I have something to talk about."

Fili nodded slightly, also puzzled by Hecate's attitude. If they were discussing secret matters, it would obviously not be appropriate to do so here. Was it just a normal entertaining of friends?

Selena had also seen the Great Witch, and was now satisfied. She decided to go to the kitchen to help and find a place to enjoy Fili's piano music. Scathach successfully served as a waitress and brought out the dishes from the kitchen, and the others also started their own busy work.

Hecate listened to the soft music, praised Fili's piano playing, and then asked Dorothy: "What do you think of this place?"

Dorothy exclaimed, "It's a very witch-style inn. Miss Fili is really good at everything."

As for other witches, they may be good at one or two skills, but they may not be proficient in everything. Most witches live long but may not want to learn everything.

"Fili is a child as enthusiastic as Soulad (Sword Witch), and is better at mediating between humans and witches than Soulad. All the changes in Miriam are thanks to Fili. We have regained good contact with the royal family." Hecate was somewhat happy about the current changes, but also embarrassed about her laziness. She looked at Dorothy sincerely, "We have our own territory in Miriam, which is reasonable and legal, and we have no more ambitions. I hope you can move in as soon as possible. We can be neighbors. I believe that with three great witches in charge, other witches in the world will be more willing to come to Miriam."

Dorothy squinted her eyes but could still frown: "This is really strange. A country's royal family would actually rely on external forces. That's fine. At the beginning, it was only you who kept to yourself. Now there is Fili, and I came to Miriam openly. At that time, wouldn't the royal family be afraid of our power? This is no longer the level of overthrowing the royal family. We can crush the royal family to ashes with just a slight raise of our hands."

Hecate also considered this. Although strength can decide everything, it cannot change suspicion and human hearts. In the past, people could not feel the changes brought about by the witch, but later the witch's power became too strong. Would humans feel threatened?

At this moment, the cold dishes began to be served. Dorothy and Hecate's eyes lit up and they picked up their cutlery. The two of them ate like little animals.

"I have this concern, but the stars tell me that the result is developing in a good direction." At this point, Hecate glanced at Fili who was sitting in front of the piano, "Perhaps the power of witches can naturally integrate into every aspect of people's lives. Once the residents of Miriam feel the convenience brought by magic, they will no longer reject us."

Dorothy tilted her head and thought with a lovely expression: "This is not easy, but it is time for me to end my wandering days. I also want to find a place to settle down. I accept your request, but before that, I need to solve a hidden danger."

Hecate asked tentatively, "Pandora?"

The only trouble for the White Witch is the Black Witch, because she brings bad luck to them.

The strangest thing is that the Black Witch camp seems to be particularly unhappy with the White Witch camp. When attacking and destroying, they often prioritize trouble with other witches to ruin other people's good lives.

This was what happened to Medina before, but she was too weak and disappeared without a sound.

But Pandora is different.

"I suspect she is active in this area. The star beast awakened in Arius was probably awakened by her." Dorothy stretched out her hand and counted on her fingers. "She instigated other witches to cause destruction. Several countries are denouncing witches. They are making sacrifices and conducting living research, and even hunting dragons. It seems that they have created a chimera technology that can produce hybrids of humans and dragons, and the dragon sent a Frost Moon Dragon to investigate here. All signs indicate that Pandora wants to turn this place into a wasteland."

Fili pricked up her ears. She was no longer sleepy when she mentioned the star beast. The power of deception could only create a shadow play. The reason why Fili's body could become real was because of cognition and the infusion of divine power. But Bahamut was different. Bahamut's change was just a skin. The star beast inside Bahamut was a real existence and was not transformed by Fili.

Besides, Pandora was indeed a terrible witch. The legends surrounding Pandora were all known for destroying nations. This “destroying nations” was not an adjective, but meant that many countries really disappeared from the map.

If you look at the historical map, you will occasionally see some small and medium-sized countries disappear inexplicably, and then recover one after another. These are countries that perished for various reasons.

The legend of Pandora's destruction of nations is different from the changes that conform to the laws of history. Pandora really used her terrifying power to cause hundreds of millions of casualties, causing these countries to disappear physically. Among them was the spread of the Black Death in another world. She is a notorious and terrible witch.

Whenever the word Pandora is heard nearby, it will cause panic in the local area. Once the existence of Pandora is confirmed, the magic circles of the surrounding countries, big and small, will fall into chaos - this broken countryside cannot be stayed in for a moment.

Dorothy didn't mean that Pandora came to Miriam, but she should be planning something in some neighboring places. There are many weak neighboring countries around, so it is not surprising that they are controlled by the Black Witch.

Sure enough, after hearing the news, Carol, who was staying upstairs and had no curiosity about Dorothy, secretly opened the door and continued to eavesdrop while leaving a gap.

However, Serena, Scathach and Aisling (Snow Girl) did not respond, and Nishinohana seemed to be too focused on cooking and did not hear it.

Hecate's eyes widened slightly, then slowly recovered after a moment. "Can you narrow down where she is? My astrology makes it difficult to locate her."

When it comes to astrology's goals that have a great impact on individuals, the conclusions will be vague. After all, people above the level of heroes will consciously avoid astrological predictions.

Dorothy raised her teacup. "Kalan, where Uwo black tea is grown, may be where Pandora is currently active. There is a kind of monster that can transform from a human into a dragon, which is rampant. The territories of this country are in a state of chaos. Some places are even completely closed off. It's very pitiful."

Hecate pondered for a moment: "How messy is it?"

Dorothy shrugged. "A large number of refugees have already fled. Maybe no one cares. In two or three years, the country can be declared extinct. People are dying there every moment. In addition to the dragon-shaped monsters, other monsters are also attracted here. People who died during the day turn into corpses at night. The land is distorted everywhere. In some places, you can clearly feel the power of Pandora. By the way, the representative there is Anastasia."

Hecate was not surprised: "It's her? This extremist demon does surprise me."

Dorothy's good mood disappeared when she mentioned this matter. The dishes on the table no longer looked appealing. "More than half of Kalan's royal family has been killed or injured. They are in exile and their whereabouts are unknown. Rebel forces have begun to appear in various places, but they are no match for Anastasia's monster army. She seems to intend to establish a demon kingdom there, taking advantage of the hill country's easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack characteristics to take root. She is worthy of being a demon king."

This topic made the atmosphere in the hotel heavier. Fili stopped playing without realizing it, trying to digest the information. Everyone else also felt a little heavy.

Then Hecate forced a change of topic and talked about this year's Witch Banquet, which finally livened up the atmosphere again. She also deliberately spread interesting stories about another great witch, Abigail.

It’s just that Pandora’s incident makes no one happy.

After Hecate and Dorothy left, everyone in the inn gathered and looked at Fili.

"Since Lady Dorothy said so, then the news is true?" Nishinoka heard the subsequent conversation and was now trembling faintly, "Why did it have to be Pandora?"

Fili smoothed Xi Yehua's hair and said, "Are you afraid of her?"

Nishinoka swallowed her saliva. "Of course I'm scared. You may not have experienced that feeling. That was my experience six hundred years ago. I had just left a prosperous city, and when I returned six months later, the ground was covered with corpses, blood flowed like a river, and there were hideous and terrifying monsters everywhere. The people I had worked so hard to build friendships with were not spared. That's what Pandora did. I have friends who died in the disaster she caused. She has a power that I can't contend with at all."

Fili put her arm around Nishinoka with one hand and gently comforted her. Fili was also scratching her head opposite her, thinking that maybe this could comfort Nishinoka a little, and it wasn't like she was intentionally taking advantage of her or anything.

Serena groaned and said, "I think... I want to recruit a troop to go to Kalan and rescue the people there as wandering knights."

Feilin did not refuse or object, but only gave a suggestion: "Selena, do you want to go to a real battlefield for training?"

Serena clenched her fists and placed them on her chest. "I heard about Bahamut's battle from a foreign poet on the street. It was really exciting. Unfortunately, I only participated in it at the end, which was not even a trial. Moreover, I have been pampered since I was a child. So far, I am still a rookie. It would be great to have such an environment to train and accumulate practical experience."

Carol reminded, "But I have to remind you, don't go too deep. I don't know how many demons are gathered there. If you face a real big demon, at least they will have the strength of heroes. You have no chance of competing. Do you really want to go?"
