Chapter 46: Witches Gather
Golden skull!
Super five-star legendary unit!

Bronze, silver, gold.

Elite, hero, legend.

Wang Xi was shocked.

This was the first time he had seen such an entry.

The person before him was none other than Lillian, the girl selling matches near the inn. But in their previous encounter, Caius's investigation revealed that she was just an ordinary person...

"Is it some kind of method of concealing one's strength?"

Wang Xi guessed.

At the same time, he thought of the future he had seen in the "Retreat Preview." The fire that broke out in Daphneel on the day of Queen Siana's wedding was most likely Lillian's fault.

As for the girl in the red dress in the preview...

"Fire magic?"

Wang Xi said secretly.

After all, Bev could create all sorts of items with her candy magic, so there was no reason Lillian couldn't use her fire magic to create a dress.

After thinking this through, Wang Xi also understood why the future in the "retreat preview" had changed. It was because he had come into contact with Lillian and bought her matches...

"Miss Lillian, you?"

Wang Xi showed just the right amount of surprise.

The Fire Witch looked at him calmly and said:
"Mr. Gay, why didn't you go back to the hotel? I waited there for you all night."

As she spoke, she handed over the wooden basket in her arms.

Wang Xi was stunned.

The strongest witch in the magic forest actually waited for him in the corner all night just to personally deliver this basket of matches to him.

"Thank you." Wang Xi took the basket and felt it was inexplicably hot. He coughed and said carefully, "I didn't ask you to just give it to the hotel maid..."

"I don't know them well."

Lillian shook her head and said in a cold voice.

Ok.

It seems that he is not only a math idiot, but also a social phobic.

Wang Xi understood it in his heart.

"Lillian, do you know this bastard?"

The girl with twin ponytails came over, her beautiful eyes wide open in surprise.

Bev, holding up her skirt, also came closer and said thoughtfully:

"So, Lillian, the handsome and kind man you were talking about is Mr. Gay?"

Ok?
Wang Xi's ears pricked up.

Keenly captured the key words.

He is handsome and has a kind heart.

It was me for sure!
He looked at Lillian in surprise.

The blonde girl in the white dress lowered her head, her small hands quietly clutching the hem of her skirt. Her red ears could be vaguely seen.

"I just said it was a misunderstanding."

Bev glanced at Sophia with a half-smile.

"Mr. Gai has never even killed a goblin, so how could he be a spy for the kingdom?"

"..."

Wang Xi opened his mouth and swallowed.

Uh.

I have killed someone before.

Killed five more.

He's just a goblin from out of town, the kind with a foul mouth. If you local bosses knew about this, wouldn't you be mad?
"Igor, give me that parchment."

At this time, Bev stretched out her delicate hand and said to the wolf butler.

The blond man glanced at his eldest brother with twin ponytails, and after receiving a signal from his eyes, he handed over the parchment with Wang Xi's portrait.

The Sugar Witch opened it and took a look, her expression becoming strange.

She showed the portrait to everyone, then pointed to the small words below and asked the Wolf Witch:

"Sophia, what does this say?"

"What?" The girl with twin ponytails glanced at him, folded her elbows, and muttered, "Meet this guy? Cover him while he gathers intelligence? Get Bev drunk and rape her first..."

Pong!
The wolf witch cried out in pain and covered her forehead.

Bev clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"I told you to read and write more!" She said with dismay, then turned around and questioned the wolf steward: "Sophia can't read, and you can't read either?!"

"Igor, tell me what's written here?"

Facing the Sugar Witch's cold question, the blond man remained expressionless and said calmly:
"Gai Farrell, the Scarlet Wizard of Randall, must be killed at all costs..."

Hearing this, Sophia's expression froze.

She immediately turned to look at the housekeeper with a look of shock.

Now everyone understood that the misunderstanding originated from the concealment of the wolf butler Igor, which led the wolf witch to regard Mr. Kai as a member of the Finger Club and a spy of the kingdom.

"Igor! Explain it to me!"

The red-hooded girl with twin ponytails had an angry look on her face, her mouth wide open, revealing her sharp white fangs.

"The Finger Society is the Mint Master's lackey. Those they want to kill may not necessarily be good people."

Igor looked directly at Wang Xi and said.

"As Lady Sophia's steward, I will not allow any destabilizing factors that could endanger her or the Magic Forest to appear...especially humans."

Bang! !

Suddenly, a red cloak flashed, followed by a loud bang.

Igor stumbled back several steps before finally stabilizing himself. He was hit in the face, his body tilted, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

Sophia clenched her fists and scolded:
"Asshole! How dare you lie to me!"

"Master Sophia, I am your most loyal wolf and will never deceive you..."

Igor stood up again, without wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He just bowed slightly and touched his chest in salute.

"I don't explain my concealment, nor do I regret it. Humans are insidious and cunning. Calvin wants to destroy the Magic Forest. We must be on guard."

"You bastard! I'm going to beat you to death today!"

Sophia became increasingly irritated, her eyes turning red.

Igor stood there quietly, his hands hanging naturally, his eyes lowered. As if the Wolf Witch wanted to kill him, he would not move at all.

"That's enough, Sophia."

Bev frowned and spoke.

She looked at Igor and said coldly:

"No matter what your reason, you should not deceive your king."

“…” The blond man remained silent.

Sophia's flat chest heaved violently. She sheathed her fangs and took a deep breath.

"If you do it again, I will beat you to death!"

Igor bowed his head silently to show his submission.

At this time, Lillian walked to Sophia's side and said in a cold and calm tone:

"Sophia, apologize to Mr. Gay."

"No!" Sophia was very resistant and shook her head. "Don't even think about it! I can't apologize to a human!"

Lillian's pretty blue and white eyebrows frowned slightly.

She was about to say something.

"Ms. Lillian, forget it."

Wang Xi glanced at the few people and smiled.

"It's good that the misunderstanding has been resolved. Perhaps I should also thank Mr. Igor for his vigilance. After all, being so fearful of a powerful man like him is a form of recognition of me."

His tone was soft and his smile was elegant.

"It's my honor to have met these three witch ladies, and I don't dare to ask for an apology. Miss Sophia's reaction also made me see her determination to protect the Magic Forest, which I admire very much."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately eased a lot.

Lillian tilted her head slightly, looking at the black-haired young man in surprise. Bev smiled brightly, her eyes moving.

Even Igor couldn't help but take another look at the young human. He seemed to be surprised that this guy wasn't angry at all, but instead spoke up for Lady Sophia.

Pinocchio's dark eyes shone.

Gay...

He is still so gentle.

I want to learn from him and be a noble person!
"Hey, hey, hey! Who... who asked you to say something good for me?!"

Sophia turned her head and shouted.

Her voice was still as clear, but her tone was obviously not as sharp as before.

"I only let you go for Bev and Lillian's sake. Otherwise, I would have killed you and that stinky iron man too!"

"Being bitten to death by the Wolf Witch herself is probably the highest honor for any adventurer."

Wang Xi chuckled.

He paused and looked at Bev again.

"However, if Miss Sophia really wants to bite me to death, please let me know in advance and we can choose a remote place... After all, if there is blood in the candy house, it will be a headache for Miss Bev to clean it up."

Hearing this, Sophia felt as if she had punched cotton, and her cute round face quickly turned red.

Under the excitement, the magic power in her body became agitated, and her golden twintails exploded into two balls of fur.

"Who cares about you, bastard!"

Sophia stomped her feet hard, and the strawberry-curled carpet and biscuit floor immediately shattered, spreading spider-web-like cracks.

Pong!
The girl with frizzy twintails cried out in pain again, holding her head in her hands.

Bev's forehead veins popped out and she clenched her fists.

"You've ruined my favorite carpet again, Sophia!"

"S-sorry! I'll ask Igor to get you some wild boar skins!"

Pong! !

Sophia screamed.

...

...

The night is deep.

Candlelight shone through the candy windows of the candy house in the woods.

Five people sat at a large white chocolate round table: Wang Xi, Pinocchio, and the three witches. As for the wolf butler, Igor, he stood behind Sophia like a statue.

Under the warm candlelight.

The five of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere, which had been a bit chilly, gradually warmed up. From time to time, one could hear Bev's laughter and Pinocchio's exclamations of surprise, as if he had never seen the world before.

The knee-high sugar mushroom ladies were busy, some were serving dishes, some were whispering, and some were cleaning and repairing the damaged carpets and floors.

"...Miss Lillian, so why did you come to Daphneel to sell matches?"

Wang Xi put down the cutlery, wiped his mouth and asked.

The girl in the white dress had a calm expression and said coldly:

"It's burying matches." She corrected, glancing at the dark-haired young man. "I only sold the matches to you."

Lillian is taciturn and speaks in a evasive manner.

"Bury the matches?" Wang Xi asked.

The girl nodded and said calmly:
"Observe the environment and quietly bury the matches in every corner..."

Hearing this, Wang Xi had a bad feeling.

He hesitated and asked again:
"Why...why do you do this?"

"BOOM——"

Lillian's ethereal voice rang out.

"Then our homes will be safe."

"?!"

Wang Xi was stunned.

If Lillian was just an ordinary girl, Wang Xi would have thought it was just a joke. But the other party was the strongest witch, a terrifying existence at the level of a golden skull.

Recalling the fire in the "Retreat Preview", Wang Xi felt a chill down his spine.

Seeing his expression change slightly, Lillian tilted her head and whispered:
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you...I'll just sell you ordinary matches."

Wang Xi fell silent.

He knew very well that on the day of the Queen's wedding, Lillian would start a fire and burn Daphneel and the whole city to ashes.

Although he was just a projection and had no relationship with the residents of the royal capital, he did not want to see so many innocent people die in the fire.

"I know you hate humans, but not all of them deserve to die..."

Wang Xi looked at the witches and asked carefully:

“Is there any other solution?”

"..."

The witches fell silent.

half an hour.

Bev's eyes moved slightly and she said:

"Have."
