Oops, I became the witch's substitute

Belinda's eyes were full of curiosity, and with her 15-year-old appearance, she barely fit in with the witches.

The young witch smiled and brought tea. "Is it Miriam? Really? I want to move to Miriam recently. I heard that the atmosphere there is very good and there are many people of the same tribe to communicate with. The witch's night banquet is a mushroom sharing meeting."

Fili immediately thought of last year's Witch Banquet. It was quite dangerous and she didn't know if she would be able to attend it this year.

The witch's night banquet would probably be held after the family celebration, and if the family had no conscience, they would most likely send him to carry out the plan to poison Hecate.

The family can’t be so stubborn, right?

Belinda couldn't help but ask, "Are grilled mushrooms delicious?"

Fili turned around quickly: "It's not a question of whether it tastes good or not, but..."

After she finished speaking, she saw Belinda's eyes were dazed, and then she gradually leaned back. Fili went over to touch her, and her hands were stiff. She took another sip of the tea brought by the young witch. Oh, it was mushroom tea.

"Eh? I thought she was a witch too, and I wasn't paying attention..."

"It's okay, put it aside for now."

Fili straightened Belinda and put her aside. She had other questions: "Are the sisters of the same clan all right in Strahl?"

The young witch replied, "I don't like it very much. The development here is too high. The forest resources are often occupied by the magic world. Many areas are private territories of nobles. They don't allow people to pick materials and resources. Ordinary forests lack rare mushrooms. This is also the reason why most sisters moved. I heard that Lady Hecate established a witch's territory in Miriam. The forest over there is more primitive, so everyone wants to go there."

The two shared some information about the witches of Strahl with each other. Now, less than one thousandth of the witches remain in Strahl, and they have all moved away one after another in the past ten years.

The reason why this young witch is here is because she once fell in love with a human. Although they did not end up together, she silently watched over the other person in the dark until he was buried, so she delayed her relocation.

"Ah, humans are really troublesome. When he was little, he said he would marry me when he grew up, but when he really grew up, I found that he was too old." The young witch held her face, "When he was seventeen and we were dating, he was often misunderstood by the sheriff, so he finally chose to break up with me."

"Uh…………"

Fili didn't know what expression to show, but she already had a general understanding of Strahl's witch.

Tonight's mission ended here. After that, Fili carried Belinda back to her mansion and handed her over to the maids to carry her back. She also used the power of falsehood to suppress Qingyue's protection and went home. After a few hours, as soon as the sun rose, she started to write the Stral investigation report.

Considering that the number of witches in Strahl is small and insignificant, Filin reported this aspect truthfully, omitting the intention of the witches to relocate. He only said that a small amount of witch elements were found in the air, and even omitted the news of the witches' relocation.

Since Filin was a member of the family's intelligence system, the intelligence chief wrote to Filin asking for next year's plan in order to calculate the budget allocation. After reading the letter, Filin waved his hand and fabricated a budget to bribe a hundred witches to see how much they were willing to give.

Filin handed the written plan to the head maid Cloverfjord. This head maid was also a retired veteran of the family. She was not particularly strong, but she was experienced. "Cloverfjord, what do you think of this plan?"

"…………Unbelievable." Cloverfield accepted the order and glanced at the plan for a few seconds. He couldn't help but look up at Filin again, and then looked at the plan again. "But I am a little worried. This is more like sponsoring the witch than bribing her. It's even a bit like charity. The Ministry of Finance is unlikely to approve the full amount."

Philin said nonchalantly, "It's a remote and cold place, and the family intelligence department doesn't take it seriously. Last year's activity funds were insufficient to cover expenses. If I hadn't opened a hotel, the espionage activities would have gone bankrupt long ago. Not only that, I heard that Arius's intelligence station is even worse. The intelligence personnel there dare not work in a high-profile manner, nor do they dare to carry out large-scale activities. The members are almost reduced to begging for food. I also subsidized them with some funds."

Cloverfield was incredulous after hearing this: "It sounds incredible that the intelligence station is almost bankrupt. But this is also the reason why you can be rewarded, Master Filin. It is really remarkable that you can make a breakthrough in such an environment."

Feilin waved his hand: "No, no, it's just so-so."

Filin is just a familiar. The secret of using Fili's identity to open up the situation must be taken to the grave in the future, and no one must know about it, otherwise he will die socially.

After a while, the housekeeper knocked on the door and brought an invitation. When I opened it, it was an invitation to afternoon tea from my cheap fiancée.

"This child..." Feilin couldn't help rubbing his head. Since the first time they met, Feilin accompanied her during the day and Feili accompanied her at night. Two-thirds of these 48 hours were spent with Belinda.

However, considering that this was indeed his future wife, Filin accepted the invitation.

At tea time, Philin went to Belinda's mansion and met her in the garden.

Today, Belinda still spoke in a clipped tone when she spoke. Maybe it was because the maids around her did not leave. Only after they left did Belinda return to normal.

Belinda saw the maids walk to a far place, and couldn't help but stretching her body: "Huh, I'm so tired."

Feilin chuckled: "From the look of you, did you not get enough rest?"

Belinda quickly covered her mouth: "Ahem~ Indeed."

Of course, Feilin knew what she had done last night. He brought her a cup of tea and asked Belinda to relax. "Then do whatever makes you feel comfortable. I don't think it's nice to be rigidly abiding by etiquette. It's too tiring to be a lady. You don't have to keep your upper body straight all the time. If you do it for too long, your waist will hurt."

Belinda's eyes sparkled. "Hey, Philin, how do you usually pass the time?"

Feilin thought about it. When he was in the family, he seemed to be constantly honing his skills. After becoming a hero, he was always daydreaming. After opening the alias Feili last year, he has never been idle. "There is not much leisure time. Maybe I can play the piano? Read a book? Use these things to pass the time. In fact, if I hadn't come to see you, I still have a lot of work to deal with. I don't have much leisure time like this. Including today, I will return to the family tomorrow night."

Belinda stood up. "So soon?"

Feilin nodded: "The family celebration is about to begin."

Belinda came over anxiously: "What if I want to tell you something? Can I write to you? Where do you live? Where can I receive my letter?"

Feilin thought for a moment and said, "Next time, when I get to a stable environment, I will write to you and tell you the address."

Belinda smiled and said, "Hurry up, I get bored easily. Compared to you, my family members are all stubborn. It's easier to chat with you, Philin. By the way, there is a piano in my mansion. Philin, can you play a piece of music that you are good at for me?"

Felix stood up and extended his hand to Belinda as if inviting her: "I'd be happy to do that."

Afterwards, the two of them had a pleasant afternoon tea.

The Morgana family's territory, the mansion belonging to Enil.

Enil was immersed in studying magic when he suddenly lost control of his emotions and broke the quill in his hand: "I feel so annoyed. I feel so annoyed."

⒊yi ② ba Yisi doctor san guilt

The head maid, Yudaraha, noticed something: "Miss, what is bothering you?"

Enier grabbed a handful of hair and scratched his cheek. "There's a sense of crisis that's not life-threatening, but it's making me feel irritated. What's going on?"

Chapter 137 The Earl's Mission

Filin met the three witches from the Yorozuya, first negotiated a temporary consulting commission with Alubel, and finally took the three of them back to the family territory.

The Morgana family may have to meet Count Xia this year. Philin is under a lot of pressure because this nominal father is a bit despicable but strong.

It is hard to say that the intelligence system in this world is watertight, because the carriers of information are special, and any information may be leaked. Just like Pandora's plan, which was to stab the planet unexpectedly, the plan had been realized by 90%, but in the end it was leaked because of a special existence like Filin. Similarly, Filin was also worried that what he did in Miriam would be discovered by Count Xie.

So far, Feilin has no clear understanding of Earl Xie's talent and path, which is fatal. Unfortunately, there are too few battles worthy of Earl Xie's personal participation. He stays at home all day, and Enier and other tools who obey the family's orders are unable to analyze.

The head maid Cloverfroth was sitting opposite Filin. Filin would occasionally think that it would be nice if her head maid was a beautiful girl. That would be the standard for traveling to another world. Unfortunately, the reality was cruel. The family only sent capable people to their blood relatives. Filin could barely be considered a qualified heir. On the surface, she had to have her own team, and Cloverfroth was such a person.

Cloverfroth of the Black Crow, this head maid was also a person with a story when she was young. Unlike the head maid of Enil, Cloverfroth was a powerful person roaming in the darkness. There were many veteran families like them, and many of them served the family all their lives. In some ways, the foundation of the Morgana family can also be seen. At this time, we really have to put things one way and the other. Count Xie's curse on his blood relatives is a pitfall, but he is also capable in running the family.

Cloverfield asked, "Master Filin, is there anywhere you want to go before you go home?"

Feilin was looking down at his schedule. He always had things to do under the family management, and he didn't even raise his head: "While there is still time, let's go to my family's cemetery."

"As you wish." Cloverfield said, and stood up to instruct the driver.

The cemetery that Film was going to was an inconspicuous place. It was originally under a tree on a hill. After Film grew up, he used his limited authority to build tombstones and surround it with walls, making it look like a cemetery.

The convoy stopped briefly, and Filin went to the hill alone and placed a bunch of purple irises in front of the tombstone.

"Ten years have passed unknowingly, and the impression you left on me is just that of a little kid who knows nothing, but you are a good sister." Filin raised her hand, and the power of the wind elf wrapped around the tombstone, sweeping away the dust and cleaning the tombstone. The magic power sparkled around the grave, and Filin gently stroked the tombstone.

Tomb of Ansulia.

This was a lively girl, only twelve years old at the time.

"Filin, just wait and see. I will definitely pass my father's test and make him look at me with new eyes!"

This was the last time Filin heard her voice. That night, the dying Ansulia was taken back to the mansion by servants and died soon after.

My mother was devastated by this incident.

Two days later, Filin returned to the family, and this time when he stepped out of the carriage, he saw someone greeting him.

Erniel stood at the main entrance of the mansion, looking like he had been waiting for a long time: "My dear brother, I am glad to see you home."

Feilin felt a little sick to his stomach when he saw his sister: "Me too, I'm glad to see you so lively."

Enier's expression turned cold. "I asked around yesterday and found out that my brother had returned to the family a long time ago. But you didn't come to me first. Instead, you were ordered to go to the imperial capital. What were you doing?"

Feilin spread his hands and said, "I met the fiancée that my family found for me."

Although it was a sunny day, Filin seemed to see lightning falling behind Enil, accompanied by a faint sound of thunder, and her expression and face darkened.

Although Enier already knew the answer, he still gritted his teeth when he saw Filin say it so easily: "Fiancée..."

Feilin asked her sister to calm down: "Maybe one day, the family will arrange a fiancé for you."

Enil smiled brightly: "This is easy. The dead don't need to get married."

After entering the mansion, Filin handed the coat to Cloverfield and invited Enil to the reception room for tea.

There is a fierce competition among the blood relatives of this generation in the family, and the focus is on competing for resources and power. Fortunately, they can show their strength when conquering star beasts so as to wag their tails at Count Xie and win his father's love.

Feilin asked: "Is the Earl interested in Bahamut?"

Enil shook his head. "I'm not very interested. I even sneer at the legend of Bahamut. The family is quite well stocked with star beast materials. The equipment and potions accumulated over the years have not been consumed. There are a lot of processed products and raw materials. In addition, Bahamut was suppressed very quickly. The internal atmosphere has no expectations for the arrival of the star beast this time."

During the conversation, Cloverfield brought tea and snacks, then quietly left the room. As she left, Enil waved his hand to open a barrier to block out the sound in the room.

Even so, the two chatted about the imperial capital. Enier repeatedly asked whether Filin's fiancée was pretty, but they actually communicated important things through telepathy.

On the surface, Enier's questioning seemed quite serious. She cared about Belinda very much, which made Philin feel a gravitational field coming.

"Recently, the Earl has been actively strengthening ties with his vassal families. The flow of gold and silver ores in the family is quite obvious, especially the large amount of natural gold collected. He may be conducting some magical experiments." Enil slowly came behind Filin and hugged his brother's neck, squeezing harder and harder. "The family has also unlocked some of the secrets of the past and provided them to the academies and vassal families in the territory at different levels. It has also actively exchanged magical documents with other families, easing the relationship with the chancellor of the empire."

Feilin hummed and said, "I went to see my fiancé this time to make a deal. I sent him a magic book in exchange for a mine."

Ernil leaned close to Flin's ear, his voice getting softer and softer: "This year is different from the past. The Earl has gathered almost all of his descendants, even those who are not well-known. He may continue to consolidate Orfa's position at the banquet. Maybe he wants to declare Orfa as the heir."

Feilin gently touched Enil's face, and then pushed his little sister away before he suffocated: "Huh... Do you think the Earl trusts Orfa?"

Enil's tone was quite dissatisfied, and he walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea: "I don't think he would trust anyone, but people like Orufa are easy to use, and feeding the hounds is a natural process."

Then Feilin mentioned the battle with the demons and the transfer of words, and asked about the death of the brother he had never met.

Enil frowned slightly. "Is there such a thing? It seems that the Earl has the ability to transfer the attacks he suffers to his blood relatives. We are all his scapegoats."

Feilin couldn't help but stroke his chin. "The count won't easily reveal his abilities. He is confident that he can control our lives and deaths, and he also knows the significance of terror rule."

Enil raised his finger: "What if he is a self-confident and arrogant person?"

Feilin did not answer, but just looked at Enil silently.

Ernil shrugged, "Well, although he is proud and conceited, he is not arrogant."

Feilin also picked up the teacup and looked down at his reflection in the tea. "I know very little about him, and the number of conversations we've had is even rarer. I'm far inferior to you in this respect."

Enil waved his hand and said, "Come on, I only see him a few times a year. Two or three times a month is too much. Speaking of this, after I returned home to report, he asked me about Miriam's reaction after I killed Mediya. He also asked me about your situation. I told him everything truthfully."

Feilin couldn't help but ask, "How did he react?"

Enier sneered: "What kind of reaction can there be? After listening to it, there was no reaction, so I was allowed to go back."

Fiering asked, "No mention of Hecate?"

Enil confirmed: "No."

Qianxun Э 2 4 ① ㈠ ㈨

As he said this, there was a knock on the door, and an unfamiliar magic knight entered the reception room accompanied by Cloverfield.

The knight said, "Master Flin, the Earl wants you to go see him now."

Filin showed a unique respect: "I understand."

After the knight left, Filin set off immediately.

When Filin left, Enier said, "Brother, come find me when you come back. I also have friends to introduce to you."

Count Xie's sudden summons was within Philin's expectations, as he also had something to worry about.

The largest mansion in the territory, where the head of the family resides, Feilin entered the mansion with disgust.

Almost as soon as I entered the room, I heard a carefree voice coming from the end of the corridor. It was Orfa: "Oh, you're back."

As soon as Filin came in, he passed by Orfa, and at the same time met his nominal second brother, third brother, eldest sister and third sister. The reason they appeared here should be the same as Filin's.

Feilin made way for him and stood aside: "Brothers and sisters, hello, I just arrived too."

The second brother tried to bump into Feilin on purpose, but Feilin dodged him: "Like a mouse, you are good at dodging and hiding. It turns out that being a spy crawling in the gutter is the best for you. Oh, I heard that you also seduce the witch with your beauty. You are really shameless."

Orfa passed by and gently patted Filin's shoulder: "Even so, Filin still got the ticket to meet his father, and he was summoned alone. Unlike someone, he actually lost the magic book that was being escorted. This kind of thing can be done by the youngest one."

The second brother didn't want to argue, so he snorted and left quickly.

The eldest brother, Olufa, is a guy who appears to be careless. Although the second brother is not as burly as Olufa, he is actually an arrogant and domineering person. He doesn't think highly of Filin and often mocks and provokes him.

The third brother was a calm man wearing glasses. He looked at Filin deeply but had no intention of talking to him. He quickly followed Orfa and left.
