Oops, I became the witch's substitute

"Write these words right next to Filin, where the blood is spreading! Hurry!!!"

"……Yes!"

Scathach wiped her tears and hurriedly did as she was told.

"After all, the sacrifice of a cult is also a way to communicate with the gods. Now that the power of Qingyue has refocused on Kalan, the pure and kind goddess Qingyue who can heal will not ignore what Feilin did, right?"

The way Carol teaches Scathach is a method of living sacrifice. No matter how it is improved, the principle is to present something to the gods. Unlike the method of presenting tributes, sacrifices are often made by believers forcing things upon the gods regardless of whether the gods want them or not.

So sometimes, if you make sacrifices carelessly, you will be slapped to death - who allowed you to throw things into my house?

Fortunately, Scathach learned some basics and quickly finished writing the prayer under Carol's guidance.

"Then, chant after me! Quick!"

"Yes……"

"Try to imitate it as closely as possible, pray, and silently think of the Blue Moon Goddess in your heart."

The Blue Moon Goddess is one of the most influential goddesses on the continent. It is rumored that she combines humanity and divinity into one. It is said that she will come during the annual celebration to bless the entire world, and the abilities obtained by her church are mainly healing and purification.

From what Carol had learned from Fili before, she believed that the Blue Moon Goddess would definitely interfere with Kalan's situation again, and it would not be an exaggeration for her to come directly to face such a crisis.

As Carol sang, the words written in blood beside Filin slowly glowed, and the moon in the sky parted from the clouds, seeming to be much brighter than before.

A beam of light descended from the sky and enveloped Filin, and then he disappeared. Scathach was stunned.

"Well, it seems that the Blue Moon Goddess accepted this blood sacrifice..." Carol felt very awkward. She offered a blood sacrifice to a god who was considered a benevolent god in the secular world, and the other party accepted it. It felt very awkward, but the crisis was not over yet. "Scathach! What are you still standing there for! Run!"

The Distorted Dragon began its search, and fortunately, it had been wandering around in the area in search of Filin since then. The Distorted Dragon wandered around the area in confusion and did not chase the fleeing Scathach.

After that, the demons that remained in Arland County attempted to kill all the slaves for the blood sacrifice, and although quite a few slaves escaped the city in the chaos, that was only the beginning of the suffering.

In the end, less than one in ten slaves survived, and the only reason they had a chance of survival was because Selena's advance troops arrived.

Starting from destroying the pursuing demons, Serena gradually joined forces with the reinforcements gathered from all directions, began to counterattack Arland County, and recaptured the city.

In this battle, the demon leader Anastasia disappeared, the crooked dragon appeared on the earth but was uncontrollable, and the demons were forced to retreat, which brought about the most important turning point in Kalan's history.

As the power of the demons shrank, the power of the external demons became scattered, and reinforcements from various countries began to arrive. At the same time, a new hero appeared in Kalan. The hero named Gio Louis carried the power of the king's emblem and raised the royal flag, reuniting the Kalan people under the flag. The multinational coalition army launched an attack on the external forces.

The initial fighting lasted for several months, and although each counterattack was difficult, the Karans managed to recapture several important cities.

However, humans are not a monolithic entity.

Apart from the pure righteous army like the Holy Nation of Arius, the neighboring countries said they were reinforcements, but after repelling the demons in a certain range, they occupied the land and established defense lines. They looked like allied forces, but in fact, they were the Kalan army fighting back against the demon army alone.

In addition to the secular wars, there is a battlefield that ordinary people are unknown to.

Hecate and Dorothy stood in a pile of monster corpses, back to back, their breathing a little rapid, after a fierce battle here.

Dorothy raised her hand. The ground around her bulged, and branches and dead trees lifted a strange creature high up. "Is this... a moon beast?"

Hecate sighed and said, "The star beasts that have lived on the moon for a long time have also given birth to their offspring like living creatures. It is obvious that Pandora can already come and go to that place and has reached a covenant with a certain will."

Dorothy gently clasped her hands together, and the thorns and flowers quickly devoured the monster's body. "Because they have experienced pain and despair, they must bring all of this to the whole world. It's really a headache to have such people. Now that the passage has been opened, what will happen to the world?"

Hecate raised her head and looked at the sky: "Then it depends on us."

Dorothy saw that she had dealt with this and looked away: "Also, is your astrology useful? Why is there still no news about Fili!"

Hecate couldn't help but frowned. "I want to know too! But there is no trace of her in astrology! Maybe she went to the moon? Otherwise, how could the stars not find her? She calls herself the Witch of Falsehood, and has been appearing in a false manner for a long time. What exactly this falsehood represents is still an unsolved mystery. I must admit that I cannot crack her secret."

After that, an ominous blood rain fell with the capital of Kalan as the center. Although humans often felt the terrifying aura coming from the sky, no monsters appeared.

Occasionally a meteor streaks across the sky, as if taking a last look back at the earth, brilliant and beautiful.

No one knew what that meant.

Then, time passed, the war in Kalan continued, and a cold winter was about to come.

……

…………

Filin had no idea what happened after that. He only knew that he survived unexpectedly and seemed to have come to the "underworld" of this world. He guessed that there might really be an afterlife in the magic world.

The earth of this world is like a clear pond. Walking on it will cause ripples but will not wet anything. There is a bright full moon at the edge of the earth, which is the only source of light in the world. Although it is not as bright and dazzling as the sun, its soft light is reflected on the entire world and still illuminates the earth.

Since this might be the world after death, there are souls of different sizes floating everywhere. As if guided by something, these souls walk in a straight line on the earth, looking for a place to be reborn.

Seeing this, Feilin felt that he was a little different from the soul after death.

"Are you awake? My Cinderella." Feilin heard a gentle voice, but with a hint of teasing in the tone, "You have troubled me for a long time, but I have helped you solve it."

Feilin turned around and saw a white-haired woman slowly approaching. Her eyebrows were also white, and her pupils were slightly silver, which made her look mysterious when looked directly at. She was wearing a light beige dress with three layers of ruffles on the hem, just like a dress, but unpolished, with a sense of tranquility, purity and mystery. She was wearing a crescent-shaped waist belt and a light red shawl.

Feilin took a step back instinctively. Yingjie's intuition told her that this was an extremely dangerous and completely unbeatable enemy. This was also the enemy's home turf: "...What Cinderella are you talking about?"

The woman gently extended her hand to Filin: "Then what should I call you? A non-existent person? An outsider? Or... Never mind, let me ask you another question. Do you want to go home?"

Feilin was stunned for a moment and nodded subconsciously.

The woman showed an interested expression: "You can't go back. That's not your home. You just saw that world."

Feilin was shocked at first, then forced himself to calm down, and for the first time after waking up, he returned to his normal state: "Thank you for saving my life, what should I call you?"

The woman gently stroked her chest: "We are very similar, maybe we can get along well. By creating an illusion, a substitute, this false identity will have its own life trajectory from now on, and become a real 'person' in this world."

Filin remained silent, but the woman came closer and circled around Filin with her hands behind her back: "I am very curious about you, so I took the initiative to understand you, but it is not enough, I am still very curious about you. Countless years have passed, and people like you are occasionally born among humans. I have been curious about them. You are also very interesting, my Cinderella..."

Filin gradually analyzed what happened. If no one had intervened at that time, he might have died. In the end, he vaguely heard Carol's voice, and the communication equipment was activated without authorization. This showed that Carol was not so clean. The magic props that came from her hands more or less had "backdoors" set by her. However, Filin did not care much, not to mention that this was an unspoken rule of the magic world. Now he was saved because of it.

㈨㈤０一８０90九

Feilin felt a little uneasy about the woman's voice: "Don't say anything inexplicable. I want to know, is the girl who was with me at the time safe now?"

The woman disagreed: "It's safe, and she was the one who sacrificed you alive."

"Fuck! Living sacrifice?" Feilin was stunned. After thinking carefully, it seemed to be an idea. While admiring Carol's imagination, he also realized the identity of the person in front of him, "Are you Qingyue's goddess?"

The woman smiled and took Filin's hand: "No, you can... call me Lady Luna, my Cinderella. You can ask three more questions. During this time, dance with me."

Filin calmly took Luna's hand. The full moon on the horizon began to move slowly. For some reason, Filin had a bad feeling. This feeling was only personal, but it was not a feeling of danger.

Filin hesitated for a moment, then took Luna's hand, put his arm around her waist, and danced with her in the moonlight.

What do you want to ask? Do you know my identity?

“Am I an outsider?”

"No."

Incomprehensible.

"Did Pandora succeed?"

"Half the success is achieved, and we prevented half of it."

bad news.

"Why do you call me Cinderella?"

Luna did not answer this question immediately, but instead smiled brightly, a smile that made Fili feel uneasy.

"When I saw you just now, I was confused by you. When I was healing your soul and body, I accidentally... well, I had a wrong understanding. Although I corrected it temporarily, it is still insufficient."

Speaking of this, the dance was halfway through and the blue moon came above Filin's head. Under the moonlight, Filin's body slowly changed and turned into the appearance of Fili.

"From now on, you will be protected by the blue moon. When the sun rises, you will still be your true self. When night falls, you will become your current lovely and beautiful self. You are such a beautiful witch. There is no doubt that this is also the real you."

“……………………………………………………”

Filin, uh, now I should say Fili, was dragged around by Luna for several circles after her brain crashed. She was already dizzy, and someone was bullying her.

The moon in the sky fell back along its trajectory and returned to the earth. The dance ended and Fili turned back into Fili.

Feilin was not in a good mood: "No, it's twice. Are you gods ever reliable?"

Luna lifted her skirt and bowed, "Unfortunately, even I can make mistakes sometimes. It's better to say that you have successfully deceived my eyes."

Feilin looked down at his hands. "What kind of weird thing have I become? This is not what I want..."

Luna smiled and replied, "Don't worry. The reason I protected you was to treat you when you were dying. You can suppress this power. You are very good at deception, aren't you? Just like before, continue to cover up the truth. Fili is not a hypocritical thing, right?"

Feilin suddenly felt a strong sense of dejection. He was alive, but he felt like he had fallen into the deep sea. He looked around in confusion. However, he finally bowed to Luna and thanked her sincerely.

Although Feilin was confused, his previous life rhythm was not disrupted: "It's a little late. Thank you for saving my life, Goddess of Qingyue, Lady Luna."

Luna nodded gently: "I thank you as well, human. Thank you for risking your life to reveal the news and give us time to react."

"Can I leave now?" Philin asked.

Luna nodded gently: "Okay."

Although something strange happened, surviving is more important than anything else.

It may also be that I have been playing Fili for too long, and deceit itself has eroded my character. So let it be.

Just as Luna said, no matter what one's identity or appearance is, one can still use falsehood to cover up one's real body, and judging from the treatment effect, the goddess Qingyue "accidentally" mixed the two pieces of information together. Maybe in the eyes of the gods, he is just a weird thing.

The legend of Qingyue's goddess is very unusual. The good news she revealed to Feilin is that her deceitful ability can even deceive a first-level god like this. The bad news is that she will have to tell more and more lies in the future. As for the body itself? Has it affected anything?

Not only was there no impact, the magic power was doubled. Filin now had two magic cores, one was Filin's own, and the other belonged to Fili.

The source of this can be traced back to the present god Arius. If he hadn't created a real body for Fili, the goddess Qingyue wouldn't have made a mistake, right?

Returning to the real world, Filin found himself still in Kalan. He immediately created a false clone to separate the two identities of Filin and Fili. However, he was not in a hurry to go back to find his acquaintances as there were still things he needed to observe.

Just as Luna said, whenever night falls, Filin will turn into Fili. The time point is very fixed, which is when the moon is in the sky in the middle of the night. The change will not last long and will end at dawn. During this period, she will receive the blessing of the blue moon and be protected by a powerful but incomprehensible divine power. To suppress this power and maintain the original body, she must use almost all of her false power to fight against it. During this period, even the existence of the clone cannot be maintained.

OK, after confirming the current situation, Feilin calmed down and decided to report to his friends that he was safe.

Chapter 130 Time of Transition

The blue moon was above and Fili was below. At night, Fili sat alone in the wild in a daze. She was still looking for someone she knew.

I am not used to the way I look now. I used to pretend to be Fili, but now my body has become Fili. To be honest, I am not happy.

Then Fili blamed everything on her family. It was all her father's order. Why did she come to this witch country when there were no other countries to go to? If she hadn't wanted to infiltrate the witches, she wouldn't have made up a witch identity. If she hadn't made up a witch identity, she wouldn't have really become a witch.

Now, I left home when I was young and returned when I was old. How can you tell whether I am a man or a woman?

Thanks to the blessing of the Blue Moon Goddess, at least he survived. After wandering in the Kingdom of Kalan for several days, Philin found the human army, figured out the time and place, and temporarily grasped the current situation.

During the three months when he was sent to the ICU by ambulance, advance troops from various countries entered Kalan and the demons in the border area were wiped out.

Among these reinforcements, take the Arius Expedition as an example. As a god, the brave man can easily beat up those small demons on the border. The comparison of strength between the two sides is not that huge, it is just like a Tyrannosaurus Rex fighting a Paramecium.

Then most of the international friends expressed that they were willing but unable to do the job, and after snatching a piece of land from the demons with their own abilities, they would help the Kalan people to watch over it first, and the rest would depend on the Kalan people's own efforts.

The good news is that the reinforcements from the Theocracy have really arrived and are continuing to help the Kalan people restore their country. Kalan himself has also worked hard enough, and the border lords have supported the royal family in launching a counterattack. Although it is impossible to recover the entire country in just three months, the power of the light and dark camps has clearly returned to balance.

Let's stop here and talk about the world of ordinary people. What really concerns Fili is Pandora's moon landing plan. The strong men from all over the world who came to Kalan did not stay in the army, but each had their own purpose and were full of worries. Those gods who heard the news and came seemed to have been thrown into another battlefield.

Feilin saw a meteor streaking across the sky at night. It was neither a celestial phenomenon nor a falling star beast. What he noticed was that the strongest beings in people's hearts, the iron fortress of faith, also fell like fragile sand. Those high-ranking beings that even the gods dared not underestimate turned into a flash of brilliant light.

The land deep in Kalan was not peaceful. When Filin went a little deeper, he often felt the breath of terror. These breaths were like the sword of Darkmos. Although he could clearly feel the terror above his head, it did not fall down for a long time, and even disappeared. Filin also found that the environment changed after the death of the elves in some places.

From this perspective, during the war between humans and demons, while humans were still slacking off, the superiors of the world had already fought with the real enemies to form a meat grinder. The "half" that the Goddess Qingyue mentioned must be referring to the current situation. A channel of neither too big nor too small should have been established between the moon and the earth.

"People have their own lives, and gods have their own responsibilities. Sometimes I can understand Arius's thoughts a little bit. Even if it is a god, what's wrong with just wanting to live?" Filin himself cherishes his life very much. The depths of Kalan are dangerous. When the brave men lead the army to arrive, no one knows what kind of difficulties they will encounter. That is not something Filin can predict. Up to now, he is just a small hero.

Since you know there are tigers in the mountain, don't go to the mountain. Filin withdrew from the depths of Kalan, found the human city, and wrote letters to his friends as quickly as possible to report his safety.

He must go back to the hotel now, or to be more precise, he should prepare to return to his family. He has received clear orders to go back to attend a family banquet at the end of this year. This is a task assigned by Count Xie and cannot be delayed.

Before going back, Filin left a fake clone in Karan to continue observing the situation here and contact Selena by the way.

During his disappearance, Serena became famous. She was praised as an unbreakable fortress because of her active fighting. It was said that she fought against five demons of the same level alone and persisted until the arrival of reinforcements. Seeing her on any battlefield made people feel at ease.

A few days later, in Serena's camp, she had just prepared her weapons when she saw Yue Lan walking towards her with a letter.

Yue Lan is now Serena's real deputy. After three months of fighting, the two have established a deep friendship: "Lord Feilin's letter, he is still alive."

Serena was originally a strong person. This period of time had tempered her character, but it also made her feel a little numb. Her expression didn't change much. "No, to be precise, I'm finally alive. Miss Carol's method really works."

After reading the letter and learning that Filin was still alive, she still smiled.

Yue Lan shook her head slightly: "This guy... I didn't expect him to be so strong. It's good that he's still alive. He's so willing to pay me, and there aren't many employers who could be potential long-term partners."

He is a strong man with lots of money and few troubles. This is the kind of person Yue Lan admires very much.
