Witch, don't be so lazy

……

An Ke played with the thing in her hand curiously.

A beautiful small copper bottle, half the size of a palm, with profound abyss magic patterns engraved on the surface. The mouth of the bottle is open, and it is filled with black air, but even if it is turned upside down, the black air will not come out.

"How is it going to command this strange cat?"

She looked at the huge black cat that was motionless and staring at her.

"...Just speak directly. It will understand."

Kasur fell to the ground, squeezing out words from his throat with some pain.

"Just anyone who gets a copper bottle can command it?"

"...No, you need to use special skills to command Cadia. I don't know how to teach you..."

After hearing the guard's answer, An Ke was speechless.

On the one hand, I found that the equipment dropped by this thing was useless, which was really useless, not as good as the mummy and crystal centipede; on the other hand, I found that "Cadia" could not be "Antica", the black strange cat, black air, shadow, could this be a story inspired by the image of Antica?

I don’t know what Anko was thinking, Kasur was just begging for mercy desperately.

"Kind Miss Pharmacist, Honorable Lord White Snake, we are all from the Fairy Tale Kingdom, all of us are on the side of kindness, working for Princess Tali. My earlier behavior may have been a bit rude, but it was also because I was eager to save my lord. I apologize and kowtow to you. Please have mercy on me. I will definitely not dare to do it again..."

Now he is thinking about the good things in the fairy tale kingdom again.

The residents here are soft-hearted, and his identity is special. As long as he apologizes sincerely, cries and confesses, the matter will definitely be turned around. When he meets Princess Tali, he can ask her to make the decision for him.

Oh, of course I will be punished and called a waste at that time, but if someone hits Lady Tali in the face, she will definitely not let it go and will definitely give the bitch in front of her a punishment that she will never forget.

Kasur's face was in tears, but he was secretly furious in his heart.

"...I've only been in Windmill City from the wilderness for two days. I don't understand your customs."

Anko shrugged.

In addition to speaking to the guards, she also spoke to Rapunzel and the others.

It was obvious that the guy under their feet was about to attack them, but after he begged them desperately, those kind-hearted fairy tale residents actually softened their hearts.

Of course, they didn't dare to beg for mercy for the guard, but they were secretly looking at Anke, their eyes wandering around the guard's bloody wounds.

Alas, I feel that if I kill him directly or punish him, the reputation I have just built up will be gone. No, even if I kill this guy, it will be seriously affected.

Of course, if Miss Anke wants to kill someone, she will never lack the means to do so.

And it seems to be available right now.

Looking at the "Silver Moon Vine Prayer" floating in the air, Anke raised his eyebrows. This thing was made by Tali herself. The other pharmacists, Mr. Armor and Rapunzel were all present at the scene. Even thanks to Kasur's bragging, the expeditionary forces knew that this thing was specially given to him by Tali.

Then things are very simple.

As long as the potion is given to the guard to drink, and then the telekinesis is used to make a move, the blame can be put on Tali - maybe no one will completely believe it, but the seed of doubt in their hearts will take root and grow rapidly.

Invisible telekinetic magic is really useful. Oh, you can also use the scarab gem you just got to erode the opponent through negative energy.

This way, other people will not question Miss Anke. After all, the kind and righteous Miss White Snake is proficient in preparing medicines, and her body and blood are full of life energy. How could she possibly understand negative energy spells?

As for whether the guards will be able to resist after drinking the potion?

Don’t dream. Miss Anke, a prisoner, still wants to turn over a new leaf. Don’t even think about it. She has already made all the necessary preparations.

For example, even if she didn't need the copper bottle, she would never return it, and would even crush it if necessary.

"...Since you've already recognized your mistake, and considering that now is the time to use someone, I'll let it go for now and give you a chance to redeem yourself for meritorious service. If you attack your companions again and threaten the safety of me and everyone else, there's nothing more to say."

Anko said as she looked around.

Everyone nodded, obviously agreeing with Miss White Snake's decision. The few who opposed it shouted, "You can't use a crime as a pretext for meritorious service. Merits are merits, and faults are faults. The two must be clearly distinguished."

Rapunzel was even more excited.

Look at Miss White Snake's extraordinary demeanor, her kind yet not weak style, her decisive and compassionate attitude. Let alone an ordinary character, even among all the princesses in the fairy tale kingdom, she is definitely a top-tier existence.

Considering her powerful strength, she definitely couldn't be an ordinary pharmacist wandering in the wilderness. She was most likely a newly arrived foreign princess.

"Well, I don't have any extra potions right now, and I need to save my blood for later. Since you have the Silver Moon Vine Prayer that Princess Tali made to strengthen your body, just take it. It should help you recover quickly."

Along with the words, the potion floated in front of Kasur.

The latter drank it in one gulp without any hesitation.

He couldn't bear the pain in his body and really needed treatment. After receiving the amplification, he could make up for some of the uneasiness he felt for losing the treasured copper bottle.

The potion mixed with tears and blood flowed down the throat.

warm.

An indescribable powerful force spread to every part of his body. He could hear the blood rushing in his veins, his heartbeat rumbled like a war drum, and his exhaled breath was incomparably hot.

All the senses have been enhanced to varying degrees, vision is clear, and the sense of smell is extremely sensitive. The mixed smell of sweat, blood, rust, and rotten earth fills the nasal cavity.

The flesh and blood at the wound site also squirmed like millions of ants, the severe pain turned into numbness, the broken muscle fibers weaved and reorganized themselves, the dizziness caused by blood loss subsided, and the pale complexion quickly turned rosy.

The only strange thing was that Kasur always felt that he heard some strange noises, short howls, high-pitched eagle cries, and furious and terrifying bear roars.

As time passed, the body became strange, and the warm currents gathered in certain parts, tearing the bones and muscles and protruding from the skin violently.

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

An extremely shrill sound rang out, scaring the soldiers so much that they subconsciously took half a step back. Then they drew their weapons one after another and took a defensive stance.

Rapunzel was also startled, and her long wheat-colored hair spread rapidly like a waterfall.

One part planned to gently take Miss White Snake away, while the other part transformed into countless sharp daggers and attacked the guards mercilessly.

It’s not their fault, because the scene before them is too horrifying.

A sharp sound of bones cracking suddenly exploded, as if a bronze bell was shaking in the skull. The voice that Kasur uttered when he looked up was no longer a human voice. It was a chaotic roar mixed with the roar of a bear and the cry of an eagle, and the sound waves were accompanied by the sticky chewing sound of a wild boar gnawing on bone fragments.

The guard's face was twisted, and jagged fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth. These were not the gray-yellow curved teeth of ordinary wild boars, but spiral bone spurs drenched in an ominous dark red.

The back muscles tore apart rapidly, the pale blue wings pierced through the flesh, and when they stretched, dagger-like claws popped out from the ends of the wing bones;

The limbs also underwent alienation. The left foot was a hoof, the right foot was a crossed raptor toe, and the hands were huge and ferocious bear paws.

Different types of hair can be seen on the raised back: navy blue eagle feathers, dark blue steel bristles, and pitch-black bear hair. They do not coexist harmoniously, but are like cursed armor fabricated by magic, constantly tearing out tiny pieces of flesh and blood with every breath, twisted, but full of vitality.

Just like the characteristics shown on Kasur's body.

He turned into a strange monster that was a mixture of a bear, an eagle and a wild boar, just like an ancient priest pulling the totem on the temple tiles into reality.

As a terrifying red light flashed from the monster's eyes, it suddenly spread its wings behind it, shooting out those hard navy blue feathers, and its huge bear paws swung out with a strong wind, and before the long hair could reach it, it hit the girl in front of it directly.

then.

The Sword of Flame and Wind reappeared, splitting the monster in two and redirecting the feathers.

As the huge body crashed to the ground, the loud noise drowned out the girl's whispered words:

"Fancy."

Well, this was just a soliloquy. Kasur seemed to have lost his mind and consciousness and could not hear Anke's ridicule.

He retreated and left the stage.

Logging off without completing any task may leave some psychological trauma.

"So, what is that?"

Rapunzel couldn't help but ask, this thing looked even more twisted than the monster in the dark forest.

"I don't know. He changed after drinking that potion."

An Ke's eyes flashed.

She only did one extra thing, which was to guide the negative energy to erode the other party, and then Kasur herself turned into this horrible appearance. Perhaps the negative energy stimulated something.

Tully's blood, bear, eagle, wild boar...are there any connections between these three?

Druid's three transformations?

It was worth it to kill her lackey and get her information.

I just don't know where this strange blood, this twisted life force, comes from. A spiritual gift? A blessing from the gods? Special magic?

Why are you elves becoming more and more outrageous? It’s completely inconsistent with the promotion!

Studying vampires? Oh, no, should it be the vampires who study you? Are you good at using journalism to create a good image of your race?

While Anke was thinking here, Rapunzel was paying attention to another thing.

"...You guys drank the potion too, how did it feel?"

Rapunzel quickly remembered that some other knights had drunk the "Silver Moon Vine Prayer" and hurried to check.

The young commanders also looked frightened and began to describe the abnormalities they experienced after taking the medicine.

My physique only improved slightly, but there were many side effects, such as stomachache, flatulence, and dizziness...

Oh, now after careful inspection, it is true that some people have grown tiny feathers on their backs, and some people's teeth have become longer and crooked.

This strange behavior directly scared these brave and warlike people. After all, for the people in the fairy tale kingdom, dying in battle is more acceptable than turning into evil monsters.

　 But they had no other choice but to look to Miss White Snake for help.

"It's not a big deal. It's probably because Princess Tuli used a lot of blood when she made the first bottle, and her skills are far superior to ours. As a result, the potion we made is completely inferior to hers... Well, it's also possible that there's something special about the guard. There's something wrong with him. His way of doing things is very different from the residents of our fairy tale kingdom."

An Ke comforted him, "Don't worry, it's okay. The effect of the drug has gradually worn off. I don't know if you can return to your original state, but you won't turn into monsters."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at each other.

After looking around for a long time, someone finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Master Guard... No, that monster is like this, Princess..."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like opening the chatterbox, and everyone started talking at once.

"The princess is completely different from what was rumored."

"He's very cold and brutal, his eyes are terrifying, and he always feels like he has a bloodthirsty madness."

"Is she really the princess from the Crystal Palace? Could it be that something unexpected happened along the way, and a demon took her place?"

"Yes, Lord Rapunzel, you are also a big shot in the capital. Do you know what this situation is?"

Everyone looked at Rapunzel.

"The princess did come from the Crystal Palace, but I don't know why it's like this."

The gentle woman could only shake her head helplessly. "The last round of voting was too long ago. No one in the kingdom has ever experienced it, let alone anything earlier. Perhaps those figures sleeping in the Crystal Palace, or the messenger of the Fate Group, know some information."

When the messenger of destiny was mentioned, countless eyes fell on the forest fairy in the sky.

The fairy didn't react at all and continued to look down quietly.

"The messengers of fate usually ignore us unless we complete the trial and successfully meet them."

Rapunzel said softly.

Everyone has known this information for a long time.

Then we can only continue to break through.

There seems to be a way to leave here, because behind the elk, there are two doors, one on the left and one on the right.

One is red and green, representing the "Summer Valley"; the other is white, as if it means leaving the fairyland.

But the prerequisite for all this is to walk through the thorny road, otherwise you will be trapped and die in the "Spring Path".

"...Then who of you will go first?"

An Ke looked at everyone and smiled, "Just consider it as scouting the way for me."

Everyone was silent for a while.

Not sad, but moved.

After all, if my guess is correct, the thorns will become stronger as they are fed with blood, and the further you go, the more difficult it will be for you.

Look at how big the difference is between Miss White Snake and the guards. Not only does she not force anyone, she even speaks so tactfully about "thinking for everyone", for fear of hurting everyone's feelings.

But the more she acted like this, the more reluctant everyone became to leave. Otherwise, if Miss White Snake was trapped and died in the trial, people would probably be so ashamed that they would commit suicide.

Took a long time to dawdle.

Finally, it was Rapunzel who stepped forward and said, "Then let me explore the way for you. After all, I have some skills and won't hold you back."

Her meaning was also very clear. She was able to continue to accompany An Ke to complete the trial.
