It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 656 Dog Girl and Witch, it's obvious who you suspect, right?

Back in their room, Luo Wei lay on the soft bed, resting one hand on his forehead as he recalled what he had heard that day.

The witches' gathering is not limited to one day, but lasts for an entire period of time.

As for him—

Invitations were sent, but not all were extended.
I participated, but not fully.

This ambiguous feeling suggests that he is important, yet also an insignificant part of the whole plan. He was the only one invited to the gathering, but he was not required to participate in their process.

Were you tricked...?

Luo Wei smiled, and then heard a knock on the door.

Ah Hu Lili ran to open the door, and Pan, who had come to see her alone after finishing his work at the Witch Council, entered.

"What's wrong?"

Pan gestured for him to continue lying there, then bent down and sat down beside his bed.

“There are some things that I couldn’t say during the meeting, and I was worried that you might misunderstand them, so I came here specifically to find you.”

After saying that, she placed her hands on Luo Wei's legs and gently massaged them.

"Was this also part of the process that made me lower my guard?" Rowe asked curiously.

Pan smiled.

"Your vigilance in this regard is truly impressive, but it's understandable, after all, we are witches."

"However... I'm here for personal reasons. I know you might be confused, but maybe everything will be resolved soon. Please trust me this time, okay?"

Watching her lower her head, looking like she was doing her best to massage my legs.

Luo Wei was trying to convince himself that, after all, she didn't act as frivolously as those witches, and she was quite composed in her dealings with others, so it was unlikely that she would do such a thing herself.

But she was, after all, the leader of the Witch's Guild, and the two of them had discussed the ancient gods and the situation on the continent in such a short time. How could he not know that she did not trust him that much, and there was no reason for her to trust him so easily? Otherwise, why would she use the matter of the Dark Families Kingdom to test him?

Yes, this is clearly a test.

Her current actions seem less like an attempt to convince him to believe her, and more like an attempt to convince herself to believe him.

"If I ever found out who you are, would I be surprised by your current behavior?"

"Maybe..." Pan drifted off into thought, a hint of bitterness in his voice.

Can you convince her to believe it herself?

Luo Wei sighed. In reality, neither the problem of the Dark Familiar Kingdom nor the sudden resurrection of the witch he had met in the previous round could be easily glossed over.

At this time in the previous round, he was trapped in the Valley of Lamentation, so he didn't actually know much about the events on the mainland during that period. He basically only knew the ending and the general process, and he didn't even know the process of some things. After all, he wouldn't ask about what was going on here or there. What did that have to do with him back then?

Of course, there were also things that Luo Wei was keeping from them.

For example, jasmine.

"Even if you massage my legs, it will still look like you tricked me into coming here so you can help me solve the problems of the Dark Familia."

"...Do you still want it?"

"continue."

Pan smiled. Since she was a smart person, there was no need to emphasize the deeper differences between them. All she could do now was find a balance of trust.

"I would be very happy if it were you, but if not, consider it compensation for you, okay?"

Since you've put it that way—

Luo Wei knew that she couldn't possibly reveal something that had been guarded for thousands of years to someone she had only met two days ago. Even if all her guesses were pointing in this direction, then there must be some hidden secrets related to the Dark Families in the west. Of course, he also had to keep a backup plan in case something like what happened to Randall happened again.

Before even setting off, he seemed caught in a tug-of-war between several factions. The strange phenomena of fate were certain, and Gui Wuhai was also stirring. He had to eliminate the potential threats here for his own faction, uncover the conspiracies of the Third World as he had done before, and he even had a witch by his side... It was truly...

“In the past, there were also witches who accompanied lonely humans to prevent the destruction of their kingdoms. Ulauneps has always longed for such stories.”

"You mean... the 'Calamity Witch'?"

"..."

Pan remained silent for a moment, clearly aware that such a title didn't fit the style of this kind of story. She shouldn't have advised her to set the title too ambitiously when they were choosing the name in the first place.

Although her deeds resulted in similar outcomes, they stemmed from completely different motives... Isn't that similar to the current situation?

"Love—"

She suddenly lowered her head. "May I call you by your name? Actually, the matter of Ilush... to some extent, was indeed the result of my indulgence. Her beauty and talent are outstanding among witches, yet she refuses to associate with us, quietly guarding her long night."

"So when she started sending us messages on her own initiative, I was happy to see this change, but I never expected..."

“We are truly sorry about this… no, I am the one who is sorry. I failed to recognize that her unusual behavior was the result of a premeditated fate, which has caused you trouble.”

You two are pitiful people manipulated by fate in the face of such a major world event; your story shouldn't just end like this.

she……

I waited a thousand years for you.

“I will go find her,” Rowe said calmly.

"...!"

Pan Weiwei looked at him with bright eyes and said with relief, "Then after you find her, you can treat this place as your husband's family home or...your family home, no matter what? We will treat you as one of our own."

Luo Wei: "..."

There's no such saying for men, is there?

This suggests that Pan or the Witch's Society don't actually have much experience inviting men. Of course, it's also possible that she's pretending. As long as it's related to witches, everything makes sense. The fact that they've already taken such a confusing first step, blurring the lines between friend and foe, actually makes him more curious about what those Dark Families countries hold.

……

One day later.

With Pan and several witch representatives watching, Lovi, along with Ah Hu Lili and the witch who served as the supervisor, stepped into the vortex of the crevice.

The Dark Familiar Nation, "Marusir".

The three appeared in the southwest of the Crimson Forbidden Forest, looking at the land of the Demon Kingdom from afar across the cracked red earth wasteland. The symbolically erected pass had no guards in sight.

The witch with her long, beautiful, light purple hair remained silent.

Lovi had no intention of speaking to her. He led Ah Hu Lili forward, past the insignificant outpost, and into the land of Marusir, the Dark Familiar.

night.

The three people, who had been traveling for a day, camped in the wilderness.

After checking the map, Ah Hu Lili looked warily at the witch sitting opposite her and Luo Wei. The two hadn't exchanged a single word all day, and the witch's smirk made it seem as if she was about to harm them at any moment.

Finally, the witch fell asleep, clutching her staff.

The next day, after another full day of travel, Lily knew their destination without even asking Ah Hu. They didn't enter any cities along the way, staying almost entirely away from the settlements of demons and humans.

It headed straight towards the capital.

That evening, the three arrived at the capital city of Marusir, Ash City, amidst the bustling city gates.

A dark city gate, as gloomy as an underground fortress, stood before the three of them. As they entered the city, the demon knights guarding it almost immediately fixed their gazes on them, but said nothing more.

After being given permission, the three entered the streets of the capital. The gloomy atmosphere reminded them of those kingdoms that only existed at night... Ah Hu and Lily had only seen such things in human picture books they had obtained by chance, and most of them were shared by Vimir... things like the kingdom of the vampire progenitors...

A red moon rose into the night sky, while the streets here, even with streetlights, seemed cold and desolate, casting a dark shadow on the buildings along the roadside.

Demons, whether horned or not, walked through the streets, seemingly accustomed to their cold-toned environment, showing no unusual behavior except for casting glances at them.

The witch, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke up: "Heh, won't my identity as a witch cause me trouble?"

“It’s okay,” Rowe said, walking forward without looking back. “If anyone tries to kidnap you, I’ll just pretend I didn’t see it.”

Ah Hu Lili: "..."

It's a relationship that's really obvious at a glance.

She suddenly felt that this journey was going to be very difficult. Not to mention that she was swaggering around the streets dressed as a witch, no matter how she looked around, she couldn't see a single beastman. This made her dog ears and tail stand out in the city.

Witches... and orcs too.

This combination is so suggestive that it's almost like you're carrying a sign that says "suspicious" right in your hand.

Before coming here, Ah Hu Lili had also crammed on the knowledge of these countries from the princess and Vimir who knew history. Including "Marusir" where they were now, there were a total of five countries of the Dark Families. Hundreds of years ago, they were a unified Dark Faction Demon Kingdom, ruled by a Dark Prince, and had a very glorious period.

But over the centuries, this place gradually split into five separate kingdoms.

Even if you combine these five kingdoms, their total territory is still less than half the size of Lion Garden, and their population is only about one-fifth of that.

It can't be considered a powerful country in any sense; it just has some influence in the southwestern corner of the mainland.

Hmm... there really aren't any orcs.

As they continued downhill and through alleyways, the number of people on the streets gradually decreased, and Ah Hu and Lili became more vigilant.

Just as she was considering whether to suggest finding a cloak to cover her ears and tail, a group of knights in armor and cloaks suddenly blocked their way.

"stop!"

The man at the head of the group, with a resolute face, extended his hand to them.

Lovi stopped with the dog-girl, and the witch glanced at him from the side, her expression unreadable.

Haha, is he really going to hand me over?
Even setting aside the matter of the Witch Association's overseer, he was still his only ally in the city.

Ah Hu Lili's attention was also on the witch and herself. Was this combination really too suspicious? Was it going to be a fight? Or should she leave the witch behind here? Compared to an uncontrollable ally, if she covered up her orcish features, the two of them walking down the street should be hard for anyone to suspect.

Just then, the leader glanced at the portrait in his hand: "That's right, black clothes and black hair! It's him! Arrest that man!!"

Ulauneps: "?"

Ah Hu Lili: "?"

The dog girl and the witch exchanged glances. Why were the three of them walking together—the one who would be suspected… was him!?

Luo Wei's expression also furrowed slightly.

He watched as the knights wielding spears and axes ignored the dog girls and witches surrounding him, giving the opposing captain a deep look.

Are you guys out of your minds?
Then he saw the man at the head of the group wave his hand and glare at him angrily:
"Astaroth, the twenty-ninth of the seventy-two demon gods! You won't be escaping today!!"

"?"

Who the hell am I?

Ah Hu Lili and Ulau Neps were stunned for a moment when Luo Wei grabbed their arms at the same time, one on each side.

run.

"puff……"

As Urauneps was being dragged across the street, she couldn't help but grab her witch's hat and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!!!..."
