Witch, don't be so lazy

The only purpose is to ensure the contestants' combat effectiveness and to increase the probability of completing the "King" trial as much as possible.

But I have to admit that this also put some pressure on Tully.

She narrowed her eyes and scanned the two treasures on the prince's body.

Under the wide-collar necklace made of twelve strings of lapis lazuli and carnelian woven alternately, a strange bandage wrapped around most of the body. While obsidian sand was constantly oozing out of it, some faint golden runes could be vaguely seen.

The ebony staff in the prince's hand is also very eye-catching. The top is a relief of an animal head inlaid with a turquoise eye. The body of the staff is decorated with burnt gold foil, and strange pictographic patterns are spelled out with pictures and colors.

If you are familiar with the ancient Tusk language, you can recognize that it means "blasphemers will be imprisoned in the belly of hungry ghosts forever."

It is obvious that due to the deliberate interference of the Empire, the scepter and bandage obtained by Tokae are not ordinary items.

of course.

In Tuli's view, this was just relying on the power of Fairy Tale Island and receiving the favor of the elves.

Not only was he not grateful, he even dared to disobey me, the representative of the elves. He is simply the most ungrateful of ungrateful people.

If it weren't for the fact that there were other people on the field and she also needed to use the opponent to deal with the guys in the dark camp, she would have taken action long ago.

Now I can only suppress my anger.

"Tokae, since you keep saying you're willing to cooperate, why don't you go when I ask you to lead the team to the king's castle?"

Tully spoke with a gloomy face.

The guard beside him, Kasur, was also very servile. He made the strange cat, which was as tall as a small hill, hunch its body and put it in a posture ready to attack at any time, and then he shouted sternly:

"Exactly! You two, please be mindful of your words and actions. Princess Tali's appointment as Grand Commander of the Justice Crusade was unanimously approved by the kingdom's dignitaries, and you previously expressed your approval. Disobeying orders is one thing, but you're actually acting so aggressively. Are you planning to renege on our previous agreement?"

He paused, then changed the subject, his tone softening a bit, as if he was trying to persuade her earnestly.

"Our Fairytale Kingdom has repeatedly triumphed over the Dark Forest thanks to our unity. But now those dark creatures are quite powerful, and they've just luckily completed the magician's trial. The situation is so urgent, how can we afford to engage in infighting? Rapunzel and Sir Armor probably share the same sentiment, right?"

Obviously, the latter part of the sentence is directed at the long-haired woman and the ghost armor next to her.

They now maintain neutrality and do not get involved in the confrontation between the princess and the prince.

But since he had agreed to the agreement in the beginning, he chose to obey the princess's orders. He also felt that the guard's words made some sense, so his eyes fell on the prince and the fairy.

"...If you had asked Rapunzel or Mr. Armor to accompany me, that would have been fine. But knowing that the Fairies and I weren't meant to be traveling together, you still deliberately assigned us to go together."

The Tusk prince shook his head, the lapis lazuli pendant tinkling in his earlobe. "This method is too crude. I'm afraid even the Holy Insect would be ashamed to hide your plan in a dung ball."

After all, in the present world, the Church and the Tusk Empire have always been in conflict. Although the grievances between major forces may not necessarily affect local individuals, they will eventually harbor grudges, be wary of each other, and even conflict will break out.

At this time, the fairy who had been silent all this time also spoke.

"Prince Tokae has a point."

Although he is called a fairy, he looks like a very ordinary young Dawn Priest.

He was wearing a luxurious pure white linen robe, with an ivory silk shawl on the outside. The edges were trimmed with three gold edges. When he walked, the corners of the robe would emit a soft pearlescent glow as the light flowed, just like the first light of dawn.

An indigo ribbon was tied around his waist, and a leather scroll box was fixed on the belt with sun-shaped silver nails. It was the most common carry-on prop for the Dawn Clergy. It usually contained some excerpts from the Holy Scriptures, handwritten sacred prayers, holy water and magic scrolls.

Coupled with a pair of silver-framed round glasses and a thick book in his hand, anyone with a little understanding of the internal structure of the church would immediately understand that this is a pastor who came from the scriptures.

"Those who are hiding their true intentions should not speak here."

Tali sneered, not only in response to the prince's ridicule, but also in mocking the fairies of the church.

"When you dare to leave the hot spring palace and come to see me in person, rather than using a ridiculous illusion, then consider participating in the meeting."

"You were clearly the closest to the wilderness and dense forest, yet you didn't do anything, not even a bit of obstruction, allowing the other side to easily complete the magician's trial. You're either an undercover agent sent by the other side, or you're a complete waste."

Faced with this brutal accusation, the pastor did not sit idly by.

He replied slowly, "If I hadn't gone out to gather information, the kingdom would have had to wait several days longer to realize the changes in the Dark Forest. And as a princess, you seem to have done nothing of value, and even aroused public resentment."

He paused deliberately, waiting for Rapunzel and the Ghost Armor's gazes to converge before continuing.

"He robbed and forced the people participating in the expedition to hand over treasures and formulas, all for his own benefit. I can't remember when the Fairy Tale Kingdom has ever produced such a greedy and tyrannical villain. He's nothing like the kind and friendly princesses we've heard of."

As soon as these words came out.

Rapunzel and Armor also subconsciously looked at Tully.

They are not stupid. After a short period of getting along, they can more or less notice each other's abnormalities. If the princess has a bad temper, they can attribute it to the princess's willfulness. But if she does something that is not in line with the atmosphere of the fairy tale kingdom... Although they won't say anything, they will definitely have doubts in their hearts.

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Sharing potions, spell formulas, and secret techniques, and properly distributing treasures, will give us a better chance of defeating our enemies."

Tully wasn't panicking at all. Instead, she scoffed. "Besides, this is just a simple test. If they don't even want to share, it means they can't contribute much in a life-or-death battle. It's better for them to just go home and be quiet—"

"I never forced them. Those who didn't want to stay were free to leave. I never took anything by force, nor did I pocket anything. Let me warn you, Fairy, slandering them out of thin air only highlights your despicable nature."

The righteous answer made the two neutral characters nod thoughtfully.

As long as they can make sense and are not determined to do bad things, they are still willing to believe and support the princess. After all, princesses have the most honorable status in the fairy tale kingdom.

"Really? Then why not ask the opinions of those who have experienced it firsthand?"

The priest did not comment, but turned his head and looked at the pharmacist girl who walked into the palace.

The commotion in the camp just now did not escape his observation. He deliberately chose an appropriate time to attack and took action himself. The prince of Tusk also followed suit tacitly.

There's no other meaning. The main thing is that we can't let the elves have too much initiative, otherwise it will be detrimental to everyone's subsequent actions.

Although the natives of the fairy tale kingdom can work together, these replacement contestants all have their own little ideas.

Unfortunately.

Even though they had experienced something like that before, the people of the kingdom were still willing to believe this guy after hearing the princess's lame explanation.

"...I think there's nothing wrong with what the princess did. It's just that she was too hasty and there were some minor flaws in the process, which hurt everyone's feelings."

After hearing what the pharmacist girl said, a look of helplessness flashed across the faces of the prince and the priest.

The princess's initial favorability towards the kind characters was higher than expected, and the residents of the fairy tale kingdom were too simple and kind to believe even the reasons she made up.

Tali showed a smug smile. She originally planned to threaten Blackbird with words, but she didn't expect that the other party was still as stupid as ever, so naive that it was laughable.

The fairy tale kingdom is full of such stupid characters, only fit to spin around in her palms and obediently accept the rule of the noble elves.

Guard Kasur was also very happy.

After all, the princess had agreed to give him some of the looted items as a reward.

Treasures are useless. First, they cannot be taken away. Second, the so-called treasures of ordinary characters are nothing to the magician.

But those formulas and secret techniques were what Qi Ershan, Lin Sijiu, Qishan Silinmeng could bring out. Even if he couldn't use them himself, he could just sell them on the black market and never worry about having no money.

Fairytale Island, what a wonderful place.

however.

Following the pharmacist girl's next words, the expressions of several people changed interestingly -

"As long as Princess patiently explains a few words and shares some valuable potions and secret techniques, we will definitely not have any complaints and will definitely be very grateful for your kindness and generosity."

"And as a younger pharmacist, I've long heard of your glorious deeds—you've been favored by the Virgin Mary, accompanied by angels and blackbirds, using miraculous medicines and spells to heal the dying and heal the wounded, punishing evildoers and eliminating evil, leaving behind a reputation all over the world..."

The girl paused, glanced timidly at the priest, and then looked longingly at the ivory throne where the princess was.

"Since even the Fairy Master once blessed the soldiers of Windmill City, you must be more powerful than him, right?!"

The voice just fell.

Prince Tusk raised his lip. "That makes sense, Princess Tali. As the representative of kindness and justice in the Fairy Tale Kingdom, and the Grand Commander of the expedition, how do you plan to demonstrate your generosity and kindness?"

The pastor raised his eyebrows and focused on another place:

"By the grace of the Virgin Mary, the princess has had such a bizarre experience! It's truly surprising. Could you please elaborate on it?"

Rapunzel and Ghost Armor also looked at Tully. After hearing what the pharmacist said, they vaguely recalled the princess's background and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

She is the Virgin Mary who saves the dying and heals the wounded. As someone who has received her mercy, you should have the kindness and ability to protect all living beings.

"..."

Tully opened her mouth and felt something blocking her throat, making it difficult for her to speak. She felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a dozen flies.

She never thought of giving anything to the untouchables below. If it weren't for winning them over, she wouldn't even be willing to give anything to the guards.

And she didn't remember the original owner doing anything to save lives...Okay, it seemed that there was a sentence or two mentioned in the background, but that was done by the original owner, what did it have to do with her?

She didn't inherit the original owner's memories, she just got two skills and nothing else?!

But now everyone's attention is focused on her, especially Rapunzel, the ghost armor, and the admiring little pharmacist. She can't refuse casually, otherwise it will damage her image too much, and it will be difficult to carry out the next action.

Tali was silent for a long time, caught in a long and painful struggle.

She didn't know anything related to the Virgin Mary, but as an ancient druid, she did know some healing and auxiliary potions, as well as some special spells.

But it was rubbish. She took out her 50-meter-long gun and walked around for a long time. It was embarrassing. Wouldn't it mean that she was not as good as the pastor of the church? Besides, it didn't fit the original owner's experience.

But the slightly more powerful ones are the collection of the elves, and some are even exclusive to the ancient sect.

If I give it away casually and let the elders know, I will definitely be in trouble.

Fortunately, there are only three contestants here, and the guards can be considered half of their own people. As long as Tusk and the church are careful and cautious, they can make up a random reason not to give them any, and they will eventually be able to get away with it.

Just give it to the native characters of Fairy Tale Island. Anyway, the entire Fairy Tale Island belongs to the elves. As long as you can complete the promotion or even the ultimate task in the end, you will get extremely generous rewards. All of the above are not a problem.

then.

After a moment of silence, Tully finally squeezed out a word from her throat with great difficulty.

"Of course... there will be."

Chapter 168 Small Actions and Departure (Four Thousand Seven)

As the dark green potion dripped, something magical happened.

The original hideous wounds healed quickly, the hematoma subsided, and the broken bones of the left wing were reconnected. The dying little white dove slowly stopped its pitiful whimpering, and its spirit seemed to be less depressed.

Of course, the feathers it had fallen off did not grow back, and its wings could not move normally for a period of time, so it could only lie quietly in the nest it had built.

"Yuan Gugu is back!"

The moment the treatment was completed, Fei Man, who had been standing by with fear, jumped up instantly and hugged the pharmacist girl with tears and laughter.

"Great! Miss White Snake is truly formidable... Woohoo, I thought it was going to be pecked to death by the evil black bird. The princess is truly terrifying, as are the guard commander and that giant cat..."

As a little coward, Feiman had previously endured tremendous psychological pressure, and was even more afraid of being wronged than being around a witch.

After all, witches are residents of the dark forest. No matter what crazy things they do, no matter how moody their temperament is, no matter how cruel their methods are, although the residents of the fairy tale kingdom may not have witnessed it, they still have some expectations and preparations in their hearts.

However, now we are in the camp of Windmill City, in the central palace, and the people we are interacting with are the noble Princess and her guards.

Feiman had traveled to so many fairy tale kingdoms and had never met anyone who was too bad. Even the princes and nobles were just a little arrogant and had to observe many etiquettes, but they were kind-hearted.

At first she was full of joy, happy to meet the princess, but later she was almost scared to death, and even cried twice. Once she felt that she had harmed Yuan Gugu, and the other time she felt that she had implicated Miss White Snake.

Fortunately, things didn't turn out to be the worst.

"Okay, okay, stop shaking and don't rub your snot on my clothes!"

However, Miss Anke's empathy was limited. Although she enjoyed the maid's admiring eyes and soft hug at first, her expression changed soon.

"It's not snot... It's just tears. Oh, thank you Miss White Snake for the handkerchief. Hey, I can wipe it myself..."

"Don't move."

"Oh."

Feiman was originally pouting, trying to argue that she was not a dirty person, but when Miss White Snake touched her face with the plaid handkerchief, she suddenly became flustered.

Only after you say something will the little maid be willing to calm down.

But that was only on the surface. Whether it was her restless eyes, the faint blush on her face, or her slightly rapid heartbeat, all showed that she was not that quiet.

"Alright, mind your image. You are now Master White Snake's little follower, so don't cry so easily. Got it?"

"understood."

Fei Man nodded, and then muttered softly, "But it's not casual."

"Huh? You're getting bolder and bolder. You've learned to talk back so quickly?"

"……No."

"Um?!"

An Ke glared at the little maid, and her tone rose, and the latter shrank back like a little rabbit.

This time she didn't say anything, but her hands became naughty again.
