Oops, I became the witch's substitute

At this point, all seven thieves were caught, tied up and thrown into the warehouse.

"Wait, I'm an adventurer who wanted to help... Someone can testify that I wanted to catch the thief in the stairs, but after I walked in, I fell into a hallucination together. I am innocent."

So the unlucky adventurer was released.

Feilin said in a light tone, expressionless: "Tell me, who ordered you to do this, and what are you looking for here?"

The thieves said in a cold voice: "I won't tell you. Don't underestimate the professional ethics of thieves."

Feilin became relaxed, his voice dragging out a long tail, emphasizing the existence of the witch: "One of the investors of this store is a deceitful witch. I am just a pawn working for the witch to make money. Since you have a strong professional ethics, we can only wait for the witch to come back and interrogate you personally. I wish you good health."

A sip of milk, even though it's poisonous.

The thief who had just spoken coldly immediately changed his tone: "I admit that what I said just now was a bit rude. We are the subordinates of the Brilliant Witch. The previous owner of this inn stole the gems we presented to the Witch. We went to him to argue but he always resisted."

Feilin narrowed his eyes: "So you killed him?"

The thief nodded in confirmation: "He was the first to attack. We have no choice but to kill him."

Because people are generally afraid of the power of magic.

Feilin clapped his hands: "Well, the murder case has been solved, the ghost has been dealt with, and the hotel should be fine."

You just have to talk to Xiao Long Niang. A normal girl wouldn't have that much strength.

Film first wrote a copy and asked a thief to deliver it on his behalf.

"Glorious Witch:

Spring fog brings sunshine, summer fog brings rain, autumn fog brings coolness, and winter fog brings snow. Your Excellency has come to visit us so kindly. Please forgive me for not being able to entertain such a bad guest. I have given all the mice to the cat. Please forgive me. Our shop has just started, and we must defend ourselves and establish our reputation. Please take good care of yourself and visit us on a chosen day.

Sincerely,

Qiu'an.

Flin Morgana respectfully greets you."

As for the other thieves, just hand them over to the sheriff.

It is expected that as a thief, he cannot be the witch's dog. At most, he can be a messenger. If the witch really wants to pass on a message or find something, she will send her servant.

Since Filin was able to subdue the thieves, the hotel's first crisis was averted.

It’s time to teach Little Dragon Lady a lesson.

When Feilin mentioned the thief who was beaten black and blue, Xiao Longniang turned her head away and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "I did nothing wrong."

Of course, Feilin, the gentle elder brother, had to perform a gentle voice: "Of course I know you did nothing wrong. It is normal to strike hard when facing danger, but you can come to me, which can reduce the risk of exposure. You should know that you are also playing the role of an ordinary village girl in the hotel."

Shaka argued: "But the thieves broke in."

Feilin pointed at the broken door frame helplessly: "Well, you did a good job. You should be decisive when your life is threatened. But you have to fix this door yourself tomorrow."

Scathach said nothing, just nodded.

She is still sensible, but no one taught her before.

Now that the hotel issue is settled, Fili can focus on her work.

……

After hearing about the hotel, Fili felt relieved, still leaning in Serena's arms. To be honest, the experience was not good. It just looked romantic, but it hurt her back.

But magic is meant to nourish people, and ordinary people may not be able to detect it. Serena's magic has the scent of fragrant grass with earth vein attributes. She is calm, strong, and unyielding. It can be said that if you observe carefully, you can recognize a woman by her scent.

The reason why it hurts is not because the knight has a flat chest, but because her chest is very big and the bulges of the armor are obvious. Well, just use it as bulletproof.

Serena seemed to be aware of this as well. She would slow down a little on rough roads, and sometimes when the road was bumpy, she would smile apologetically and say sorry.

On the way here, Fili asked and answered questions with Serena, and got a general understanding of all the difficulties in her family's territory: the land lacks water, it is mysteriously barren, poisonous dragons appear, and the forest has become a forbidden area. Ordinary wizards and knights cannot solve the problems. It happens that the kingdom is openly recruiting witches, and perhaps only witches can solve the problems.

There is actually another way to deal with the lack of water, but Serena's family doesn't seem to have used it, which is to offer sacrifices to the temple and pray to the gods.

On second thought, Serena's family probably doesn't have much money. Not to mention offering sacrifices, they can't even save enough to build a decent church. The gods don't care whether you are a noble or a commoner.

Human beings have to rely on themselves, which is also the mainstream idea in many countries today. As for the theocracy? The mentality of most gods can be summarized as "believe if you want, and get lost if you don't."

The team walked for a whole day, taking occasional breaks. When the second night came, Selena found a relatively flat place for the team to rest.

There are many monsters in her territory at this time, so she needs to ensure the team's condition and not be too tired to face the enemy.

"Take a rest, we're almost at the territory." After getting off the horse, Serena reached out her hand for Fili to lean on.

Fili did not refuse and politely accepted the offer: "Are we almost at the territory? Serena, where do poisonous dragons appear?"

Once she gets down to business, Serena will instantly get into the mood: "It's right on the edge of the territory. There are also many monsters wandering around. Sometimes they rush out of the forest to attack the gathering place, polluting the water source, making the already water-scarce territory even worse."

Fili nodded slightly and flipped through the book in her mind: "The problem now is to confirm what kind of poisonous dragon it is. Most poisonous monsters are born in swamps. The surface there is soaked in water for a long time, and the soil is too moist. Many monsters and vegetation have decayed again, accumulating corrupt magic power. In the depths, there is even lingering corrupt mist, which makes it easier for monsters to be poisonous themselves. The poisonous dragons that people often talk about include green dragons, undead dragons, etc."

Serena looked into the distance and said, "There is no swamp near my territory. Maybe it's a poisonous dragon that lost the battle for territory?"

Fili lowered her eyes: "Selena, did you witness the poisonous dragon?"

Serena nodded. "I saw it and was about to shoot it with my bow, but the dragon quickly disappeared into the forest."

Fili asked: "Are there a lot of mosquitoes floating around the poisonous dragon? Are the plants decaying and mutating where it passes? Does it have wings?"

Serena carefully recalled the situation at that time: "No, it emits poisonous mist on its body surface, leaves mucus wherever it walks, and has wings."

Fili touched her chin, took the canteen handed over by the servant, thanked him and then asked: "If there is poisonous fog, then when it walks, does it shake off more mud or dust?"

Serena had a clear memory: "The poisonous dragon would shake off dust from its body. If I remember correctly, a lot of it floated from its wings. Oh, and there was a very conspicuous feature. The poisonous dragon had poisonous spines all over its neck."

Fili's mind gradually drew a clear outline: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a poisonous dragon, named after its ability to easily manipulate poisonous dust mist. Doesn't it have scales on its body? But there are small scales on its four claws."

Serena was stunned for half a second, recalling the time: "I'm not sure. The militia's crossbows can't hurt it."

Fili raised her finger. "Of course. The scales are replaced by a hard, smooth, and stretchable cuticle. This is a unique body structure of the poison dragon, which can protect it from the corrosion of poison and methane. This layer of cuticle will fall off over time. Many excellent armors and shields are made from the shed shells of poison dragons."

Through the conversation, Fili roughly analyzed the type of poisonous dragon. After knowing what kind of creature it was, she decided to make a prompt decision.

Fili was eager to try. Based on her knowledge, if it was just a poisonous dragon, it would be easy to solve. "Selena, we have two things to do right now. The first thing we need to solve is the poisonous dragon, and then the water shortage. We are right at the border, so let's go find the poisonous dragon immediately. Take me to the place where we were attacked last time. I have a way to track the poisonous dragon."

Serena thought for a moment before nodding: "I wanted to treat you well, but as long as the poisonous dragon is not eliminated, the residents of the territory will not have a day of peace. Let's act immediately."

Chapter 012: Defeat the Monster, but Not Resigned

There were obvious traces left where the poisonous dragon had ravaged. Even Fili could track it with her eyes without using magic. A dilapidated road was left behind in the forest where the poisonous dragon had passed.

At the same time, several groups of adventurers were camping and wandering nearby. They might have accepted defense commissions, or they might have come to fight the poisonous dragon.

When there are too many people, the environment becomes chaotic. In addition, adventurers generally like to drink when they think it is safe, and when someone is drunk, there will be trouble.

As Fili was checking the characteristics of the poisonous dragon, not missing any clues, she smelled alcohol from behind her.

Adventurers usually have a set of standard pick-up phrases: "Hmm, what a beautiful girl. Hello, lady over there, can I buy you a drink? Please do me a favor."

On the surface, this way of chatting up is quite strange. What is your identity and equipment? What is the identity and equipment of the other party?

Under normal circumstances, adventurers would never dare to cause trouble for Fili, but she was drunk.

Paralyzed by alcohol, the adventurer dared to take action, but the sweet words that were not elegant and greasy were naturally dry invitations.

Especially in front of Serena who took off her helmet, the first person the mercenary approached was Fili. Fili was, if not as beautiful as a flower, she was also as beautiful as a fairy.

After all, the image is based on the perfect woman in Film's mind.

Fili was collecting soil samples from the ground. Many of them had been destroyed by adventurers, and the remaining soil samples could only be barely analyzed and studied: "No drink, no reward, no going."

"Hey, you need to sober up." Serena would appear at the right time, like a knight protecting a princess, but in front of a drunk adventurer, if the other party did not listen to her advice, Serena would not mind summoning an iron fist to attack.

The growth environment of the poison dragon will cause their toxicity to be subtly different. It can be said that the toxicity of the poison dragon in each region is different. The antidote used in traditional adventures cannot cure the toxicity of the poison dragon.

After all, there's a "dragon" in his name. Even though he can't speak and is the lowest level dragon, he's more than capable of destroying ordinary people.

However, it was recorded in family books that this kind of dragon had many weaknesses. They had lived in swamps for a long time, their eyesight had deteriorated to a certain extent, they could spit out tongues like snakes, relied on their sense of smell, hearing and heat, were extremely sensitive, and could make people feel at a loss as to where to start, and had the illusion that they had a full grasp of the environment around them without any blind spots.

Fili also told Serena this knowledge, and she was deeply moved after hearing it.

Monsters are not invincible, and the same goes for star beasts.

The difference between the two is that monsters remain unchanged, and people can use existing knowledge to deal with them, but the beasts of the falling stars have no similarities, and people have to face the unknown every time.

Serena could draw inferences from this: "If we cover the surface of our armor with mud, sneak into the swamp, and slowly approach the poisonous dragon, even we can hurt it or even kill it?"

Fili shook her head. "It's not easy. Even if you deceive its senses, you still have to face the hardness of its body. Even the weakest dragon has extraordinary defense. Give me your sword."

Serena chose Fili and believed in Fili. Without hesitation, she drew her sword and handed it to Fili with both hands.

Fili took the sword, chanted a spell, and reached out to touch the blade: "I grant you sharpness, grant you toughness, cut steel like mud, split the wind."

A string of inscriptions flashed across the blade, infusing it with considerable magical power.

"Now we can break the defense of the poisonous dragon. If we use the enchantment sparingly, it can last for a year." Fili said confidently. "He" has always been looked down upon by the family, but the family is unaware of the efforts of their generation.

He, his elder brother, his younger sister, many of them were trying to hide their incompetence. Some were thinking about escaping from the birdcage, while others were thinking about... rebelling.

Fili continued, "Serena, it's impossible for witches to help you all the time. Instead of relying on our power, you should learn how to deal with various monsters."

Serena nodded, then hesitated for a moment, then smiled with relief: "That being said, there is nothing I can do. Sooner or later I will marry out. Everything in the family belongs to my brother. I am just a useful sword. When I don't need it... forget it, I have said too much."

Fili walked past Serena and patted her arm gently, because she was too short to pat her shoulder.

In this way, everyone's situation is roughly the same, and in this era, everyone is at the mercy of their family.

The only exception is the witch.

The work of tracking the poisonous dragon was carried out in an orderly manner. When the trace became faint, Fili would sprinkle magic powder to show the location of the poisonous dragon. When she sensed that it was approaching, Fili suddenly stopped.

"Selena, have your followers wait here. If you are not strong enough, do not approach easily." After saying that, she looked at her followers, "I know your loyalty very well, but among you, only Knight Serena can skillfully use magic. Ordinary people can easily be poisoned if they get close to the poison dragon. Even a mild toxin can make people insensitive. You stay nearby and observe to prevent accidents."

After that, the followers looked at Serena, who agreed with Fili: "Listen to Miss Fili, she is a witch, and she explained the reasons along the way. Don't be reckless in this subjugation of the monster."

Being able to track the poisonous dragon all the way, Serena saw with her own eyes that Fili used various magical means, and her rich knowledge also made her firmly believe that Fili was a witch.

Thinking back to the feeling of riding on a war horse together, it was so gentle and floating like snow swirling in the wind. How could this not be a witch?

If Fili knew this thought, she would want to apologize. It's really sorry that as a man I can't gain weight.

But it's also strange. Last time it was the Rock Dragon that suddenly attacked the village, and here the Poison Dragon ran to an ecosystem that doesn't belong to them and caused destruction. Are the two related?

Continuing forward, Serena held a sword and shield, carefully alert to her surroundings. Fili felt much more relaxed, opened her perception field, and explored for traces of magic. There were faint traces of magic all around.

Not simple.

The poisonous dragon is a low-level dragon species with no trace of magic.

Pushing aside the bushes and stepping into the dense forest, Fili suddenly stopped and raised her hand and clenched her fist. Selena understood immediately, lowered her body and observed quietly.

There was a sound of friction not far away, and Fili suddenly grabbed a handful of dust and sprinkled it on the two of them to block out the heat and smell.

As for why he didn't create a false clone, it was because his mental strength limit was not enough. This kind of extraordinary deception was not something that could be easily performed even if his cheap father couldn't see through it under normal circumstances.

Fili quietly took out the magic dagger, put on special gloves, and slowly wrapped a thin thread made of spider silk. The battle could be triggered at any time.

There was an unpleasant smell in the air and poison was spreading. Selena had a stern expression on her face, knowing that they were approaching the monster. Fili frowned slightly, held up a small ball of light in her hand and slowly floated it to the top of her head, using her vision to observe the front.

Sure enough, a scarred poisonous dragon was crawling slowly. It was in a very bad condition, very tired, hungry, and very...human.

Fili lowered her eyes and had some guesses, but the primary goal was to prevent the spread of the disaster. No matter what secrets these monsters had, they must be stopped from harming others. If it was really like the situation with Scathach, then she could only pray for its safety in the future.

No, if I could really regain my human form, I would definitely save you and add more employees to the inn.

"Selena, this poisonous dragon is in a very bad condition. The two of us can defeat it easily. Wait for my signal and then you can take action."

"Okay, Miss Fili, please be careful."

Fili smiled warmly, and Serena was a little dazed. When she came to her senses, Fili was gone.

The poisonous dragon was gnawing on tree bark. It hadn't eaten for a long time. Halfway through its meal, it suddenly felt a sense of crisis. It looked around, but saw nothing. It continued to gnawing on the bark with half belief and half doubt.

The third aunt and the second father died on 139

At this moment, a dagger shot out from the tree and cut off the poisonous dragon's tongue.

Fili stepped on the branch and used a special shaking technique. The dagger suddenly stopped when it was about to cut off the poisonous dragon's tongue, and began to rotate, actually entangled its mouth. At the same time, Fili seemed to know that she would succeed, so she jumped down from the tree and wrapped the spider silk thread around the tree.

The poisonous dragon retreated frantically after feeling the pain, but was caught by the spider silk.
