Have you ever been a witch? Take this fireball!

Chapter 174 is not allowed

"After returning, I heard the stories told by the church members left behind in the City of Apprentices, and I guessed that the mysterious magician was you."

"That strange purple magic, that's it, right?"

Renee narrowed her eyes and stared intently at Dorothy.

Dorothy felt herself sweating.

At this moment, not only was Renee looking at him, but Raffi's eyes also sharpened.

"What are you talking about?" Dorothy grinned, feeling her mouth was a little dry.

Renee glanced at Raffi beside her without making a sound, and frowned slightly.

In her opinion, it was probably because of Raffi's presence that Dorothy couldn't say certain things.

But in Raffi's opinion, Renee and Dorothy in front of him seemed to have some kind of secret.

And they are clearly trying to avoid letting others know.

Raffi felt she should leave at this point, but she had been investigating something about a magician for the past two days.

Renée and Dorothy clearly knew something—

Dorothy, in particular, with a high probability of knowing the identity of some sorcerer, or even that it might be the sorcerer himself, just watched him run around like that.

This made Raffi feel like Dorothy had deliberately tricked him. "It seems you two have something to talk about, so I'll take my leave first." Raffi considerately stood up.

However, Dorothy reached out to stop her.

"Wait, you don't need to leave."

Just kidding, if we let Lafite go now, wouldn't it make us look guilty?

Dorothy turned her head and looked at Renee with a serious expression.

"It wasn't me," she denied very firmly.

Renee looked at Dorothy's determined face and began to doubt her own guess.

"But—that purple magic sounds just like—um—that magic."

Renee gestured with her hands in the air, unsure how to describe it, but she certainly couldn't directly tell Raffi that it was abyssal magic.

Dorothy's little mind raced, and she asked, "Miss Renée, do you know what level of magician attacked the Apprentice City?"

Renee nodded: "I've heard a little about it, I think it's at the Archmage level."

On the Holy Light Church's side, there are only two strongest people: herself and the leader of the Knights Order.

Renee herself is a mage, while the leader of the knights is a grand mage.

However, most of Renee's abilities are support abilities.

With her assistance, the Knights Commander can unleash power far exceeding his own strength, enabling him to face multiple opponents of equal caliber simultaneously.

Unfortunately, neither of them was in the City of Apprentices.

Among those who remained were a bishop and a nun, both of whom were mages. They were trapped and had no way to stop the sealing magic.

Therefore, it is speculated that the entity that cast the sealing magic was a mage.

Seeing that Renee also seemed unsure, Dorothy pointed to herself.

"Do I look like a mage to you?" Dorothy said, bringing her face closer to Renee's.

Renee blinked.

"Normally speaking—it doesn't seem like it, but you—"

"Shh! No buts. Just think about it for a moment and you'll realize that how could such a cute and delicate girl like me possibly be a match for a mage?"

Renee felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She stammered for a while, then finally said nothing.

Raffi, watching from the side, couldn't help but facepalm. This saintess had actually been brushed off with such a simple rhetoric.

Judging from Dorothy's relaxed demeanor, you can tell she's hiding something. With just a little more effort, you can get all the information out of her.

Raffi sat to the side, somewhat anxious, wishing he and Renee could switch places so that she could surely get a lot of information from them.

Unfortunately, she had too little information.

Moreover, judging from the way Renee and Dorothy were so secretive when they were talking, Laffey knew that even if she helped Renee ask Dorothy questions, the two would still hold back and wouldn't let her hear the whole conversation.

This immediately made Raffi feel bored.

Moreover, Raffi also roughly understood that the reason why Renee and Dorothy were so secretive about their conversation was because of "that magic" that Renee mentioned.

Therefore, if Raffi wants to get involved in Renee and Dorothy's conversation, he must figure out what "that magic" is.

Renee was always very careful whenever she mentioned that word.

Raffi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Dorothy. Could it be that Dorothy possessed some kind of magic that Renee considered dangerous?

Although this was just Raffi's speculation, in Raffi's opinion, Renee, as a candidate nun of the Holy Light Church, was very strong in both ability and vision. The things that made her so cautious and unwilling to mention them must be things that were warned or forbidden in the Holy Light Church.

Raffi's first thought was that Dorothy's identity as a witch might have been exposed.

But she immediately dismissed the idea.

After all, it's rumored that the Church of Holy Light and the witch don't have a good relationship.

It seems that a witch once offended Erasius, the god worshipped by the Church of Holy Light.

The relationship between the two dates back tens of thousands of years.

What kind of magic did Dorothy possess that made Renee so reluctant to mention it in front of others?

Raffi decided to use her status as a princess to search the royal library.

The Church of Holy Light has existed for so many years, and although it hides some secrets unknown to the public, any country that has existed for a slightly longer period of time can more or less gather information about things that the Church of Holy Light is interested in through contact with it.

Raffi was going to look up which spells the Holy Light Church feared or prohibited.

Renee is not assertive.

So after Dorothy said that she was not the mysterious sorcerer she was talking about, she did not pursue the matter further.

Of course, Renee not asking doesn't mean she won't investigate afterwards.

After not getting the answer she wanted, Renee politely announced her departure, and Dorothy happily saw the saintess off.

After waving her arms at the door to send Renee away, Dorothy turned back into the house and saw Raffaele walking towards the bedroom.

At this point, Dorothy, thinking it was better to avoid trouble, did not say goodnight to Raffi.

What if my greeting leads Raffi to pester me?

So she started tidying up the tea set in preparation for Elor's return.

Dorothy didn't seem inclined to speak, but Raffi did.

Raffi, who was walking back to his bedroom, stopped and turned to look at Dorothy.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Dorothy, what were those videos playing in the living room when I came back?"

Lafite was smiling as he said this.

Dorothy paused in her tidying up of the tea set.

She could tell from Raffi's tone that the other person wasn't very happy.

"Uh, that's a clip I specifically cut out from the photo archive, for use in the clothing store's advertising."

"Promotion, of course." Raffi nodded.

"No!" She said only three words before turning back and walking towards the bedroom.
