Even if you become a witch, you have to eat oranges

"In this case, I will have company! It's so boring to be alone here. Lord Jutka is often missing."

According to Carly's account, Elena knew that she was also hired by Jutka as a pharmacy assistant and part-time storekeeper.

If I remember correctly, her family seems to have ancestral pharmacy skills.

"This outfit looks really nice. With Miss Helen here, maybe the items in our store will sell well!"

"Hurry up and close down..."

After roughly fooling Carly, Elena also learned a lot from this 'senior'.

This stronghold is said to have been left by a legendary elf who once penetrated deep into the core of the Valley of the Fallen but died here.

This world, which has been eroded for many years and is actually damaged, has blocked the path from the core layer of the Fallen Valley to the Dark Abyss.

Every once in a while, a large number of strange demons in the core area will unite to attack this small world, hoping to open a passage to the dark abyss.

It was as if something was calling them.

"Before I came, I was still very worried. But in fact, it doesn't seem that dangerous."

Carly explained the advantages of this place to Elena without any thought:

"Although there are strange demons outside, but with the elders here, this place has never been attacked. Because deep in the Valley of Fall, the hiring prices are very generous."

"On the contrary, outside, I heard that there is some kind of manhunt going on, which makes it very inconvenient to travel. There is a lot of noise and there may be danger."

The two chatted and occasionally entertained guests.But since there are basically not many customers, it seems very leisurely.

Elena couldn't help but think to herself: This is indeed a good job, for those with connections.I have access to strong people and I have a lot of time.

"Let me take you out for a walk! I also need to buy some potion materials."

This made Elena feel a little embarrassed. She wanted to hide it in a low-key manner.But it seems necessary to understand the terrain.

I couldn’t stand Carly’s repeated invitations, and it was weird to keep refusing.Elena is ready to go out with her.

They planned to close the shop first - there weren't many customers anyway.

"Oh, is it about to close already?"

An old woman's voice came from the door. It was a bit hoarse, but it sounded very kind and gentle.

Carly seemed to recognize the identity of the visitor, stopped what she was doing, and walked forward happily:

"Grandma Maria! Why are you here! If you want tea that is a specialty of our village, I will send it to you directly."

"Of course it's best to drink it as soon as possible when little Carly brews it."

The old man and the young man communicated very harmoniously, and the scene looked very warm.

But Elena was already shivering all over and froze there, biting her lips and not daring to say a word.

Something is wrong, absolutely something is wrong.

Outside the store is a relatively remote street, but it is not completely deserted.Carly was chatting happily and didn't look strange.

But that old woman, she was clearly a human being.

Of course there are witches here, but their numbers are overwhelmingly few.Moreover, the witch’s temperament is completely different from the person in front of her——

Elena felt a strong discomfort in her body. She could still endure it in the elf state. If she was in the witch state, she would have turned around and ran away immediately.

It was the Holy Light, and the old man's body exuded the aura of Holy Light.Although it is inaudible, Elena can feel it.

There's this power, and there's this name.Naturally, her identity is already revealed.

The saints of the Holy See are so good at coming here. They must have offended the Elf Queen not long ago, and they actually arrogantly arrived in the core hinterland of the Elf Tribe?

"Miss Hela? What's wrong with you? Ah... Granny Maria, this is Helen who is new to our store."

"Hello, I'm the new Helen..."

Although he pretended to be nonchalant, there was always a feeling of being seen through by that gentle and wise gaze.

Maria is a kind-looking old man, without any oppression from the strong.But Elena was almost sweating.

What does she mean by appearing here? Can this thing in me be hidden?

Elena touched the necklace on her chest and felt a little calmer, although she didn't have any sense of presence.But I heard that this is a legendary anti-prophecy item.

I hope I can win against this holy lady of the Holy See.

"Well, what a lovely little girl. Is she one of Elder Jutka's juniors?"

"Yes, I am……"

Next, Maria asked a few more questions casually.Elena endured the discomfort and answered one by one, even she didn't know what she said.

But it seemed that nothing unusual happened. After chatting for a while, the old woman left.

"What's wrong?" Carly saw Miss Helen's absent-minded look and stared at the direction of her mother-in-law for a long time, feeling a little strange:

"Grandma Maria lives nearby and often comes to our store and chats with me. She is very kind, right?"

"What does she look like to you..."

Elena almost said the words from her pursed lips. Her face was a little pale and there was sweat on her body.

It seemed a little bitter... Carly shook her head vigorously and replied:

"Indeed, old elves like Granny Maria are rare here. She lives in..."

"Is she an elf! In your eyes?"

"Huh? Is something wrong?"

"No no--"

Elena thought about how Maria walked on the street so openly before - here, there were many great elves and even realm-level experts.

Such self-confidence is worthy of being a famous strong man in the Holy See.

It doesn't look like there's anything visible... Is it because of the necklace? Or is the elf's appearance really close to perfect?

At least, currently only the legendary Luowita can see that she is not a real elf.

If you think about it more carefully, it doesn't count the subtle connection with the Dark Court.There was no grudge between her and the Holy See. Since Maria was in disguise, there was no way she could take action here.

But she always wanted to stay away from people in the Holy See.It was as if her essence and the Holy Light were extremely mutually exclusive.

Volume 93: A Farce: [-]. Reunion

A lot of time was spent on taking the initiative to fight against strange demons along the way.Aesel felt a little nervous when the three of them approached the Demon Sealed Realm.

But soon, Caroline led her and Alyssa directly into the sealed space.There is no intention to hide it.

Although she looked mysterious before, she really didn't look like she wanted to deceive the elves this time.

The person responsible for guarding the passage to the Demon Sealed Realm is an elder who ranks high among the elves. He usually looks very serious and arrogant, even in front of Ethel.

At this moment, he bowed deeply with fear and fear, and his tone was a little excited:

"Lady Caroline, welcome to your arrival."

"Well, I brought Ethel with me. This is Elrina's letter."

Soon, the elder went to inform the powerful men in the Demon Sealing Domain.

Those who came to greet him were Kumer, the first elder of the elves, and the great witch of the Rania family.Kumer is also a realm-level powerhouse and is known as the closest legend among the elves.

Which one is stronger between him and Caroline is something that many big shots will talk about.It's just that there has never been a fight between them, not even a public discussion.

Kummer is the de facto leader who stays here, but with the arrival of Caroline, the witches of the Rania family who originally had no say here will definitely undergo some changes.

He is a young looking elf

"Lady Caroline, please come with me. Her Majesty the Queen has asked me to tell you something..."

Facing this strong elf man, he looked like a warrior at first glance. He had a long sword on his back and looked cold and stern.

At this time, he showed a solemn expression to Caroline, even a little respectful.

Caroline naturally didn't put on airs and responded with a polite smile.

……

Because Caroline went to communicate with the elf elders, Alyssa and Ethel were left standing on the street without purpose.

While looking around, Alyssa was looking for something to say:

"This is my first time here, although I have heard many rumors."

Ethel was not so curious, she smiled slightly:

"I have been here several times. If I reach the realm of the great elves, I should stay here for a long time. Every strong elf needs to take turns here. This is the responsibility of the elf elders."

"Let me show you."

"The Demon-Sealed Realm is a small world of legendary strongmen. Strictly speaking, this small town is on the most stable side of the Demon-Sealed Realm."

"On the other side is the place that seals the entrance to the Dark Abyss. That was the seal established by the elves and several strong men of the past generation who sacrificed themselves."

"The seal will open a little every once in a while, releasing some dark power to relieve the pressure. These dark powers are difficult to deal with and can only be released. At that time, many strange demons from outside will be attracted, which requires strong people to deal with it together. "

"I suspect that Ms. Caroline and other powerful people are here to solve the problems caused by the next seal."

While introducing the surroundings to Alice, Ethel glanced around casually.Suddenly, her eyes fixed on somewhere and her steps paused slightly:

"That elf girl always feels familiar. It's strange. She's so pretty, so she should have left an impression."

"Huh? It's really rare for an elf to make Ethel feel good-looking..." Alyssa said casually with a bit of teasing, while looking over there.

The black-haired elf girl also looked over here as if she felt something.

She was a little surprised at first, then the corners of her mouth raised, her eyebrows curved, and she showed a bright smile.

"...Are you smiling at us? It's really good."

"No, no," Alyssa glared at Ethel, puffed up her little chest and said proudly:

"You're obviously smiling at me, don't think too much about it!"

"What was I thinking? You are so weird."

Elena on the other side didn't expect that when she went out with Carly, she would run into Alyssa by coincidence.

Knowing that she was safe now made Elena feel a lot more relaxed for a while, and she was also very happy.

After she calmed down a little, she walked forward and said to Alyssa:

"Miss, do you want to come and meet us in the forest? We provide the best services and products here~"

Seeing that the elf lady left the elf princess alone, she really went to find Alyssa.Ethel said somewhat unhappily:

"Be careful of what kind of trap it is. Beautiful girls go out on the streets to solicit customers, specifically looking for outsiders like you!"

"You are the one soliciting customers! This is a serious pharmacy store."

Elena couldn't help but complain, this is a shop opened by an elf elder, please go find the person involved.

"Can I go visit now?"

After thinking about it, Alyssa seemed to have some urgent inquiries.

This made Elena a little embarrassed, and she replied:

"Well, our store isn't open yet. Please wait a little later and come to me alone when there are no other customers."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a little wrong.

Carly behind her and Ethel in front of her both looked at her with dumbfounded eyes, as if they couldn't accept it.

Elena was a little confused. She subconsciously pulled the short skirt around her thighs and looked at Alyssa:

"It's an appointment!"

"Well, okay, I will definitely go."

The master and apprentice didn't think there was anything wrong with the conversation at all, and soon left with some reluctance.

By the way, Elena only realized what kind of misunderstanding had occurred when Carly stared at her strangely and asked worriedly.

This made her extremely embarrassed.However, Alyssa didn't say anything after that, looking like she didn't know what was going on, which made her even more ashamed.
