Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

"Elves? On the sea?"

"Yes."

Elves have no habit of fishing, and there are no foreign ships on the side close to the Fairy Island. There is no reason for the elves' ships to patrol here.

Anna described the situation of the sea elf in detail. Since Anna was responsible for vigilance, she often used Aquila's magic of sequence seven: Clairvoyance to patrol. Anna accidentally discovered a lonely elf on the reef on the sea surface. She was a little concerned, so she reported it to Angelica after returning.

"Could it be a beautiful elf girl who was stranded on the rocks after being shipwrecked at sea?"

"It may be slightly different from what the master guessed. The sea elf has a simple residence on the reef. Although it is very simple, combined with the ocean weather between Albion Island and Tirnano Island, it is completely sufficient for her to live on the sea."

"I don't remember the elves having the custom of ascetics."

Angelica really couldn't understand what the elf Anna described wanted to do. Elves are a very conservative race. The adventurers in the human world were pioneers in the early days. The expansion of the world today is inseparable from the adventurous spirit of humans, and even the orcs who plundered at sea have contributed to it. Elves are more secluded and they can't understand the so-called adventurous spirit. In other words, the elves at sea are definitely not doing any performance art like challenging themselves.

Angelica decided to go and take a look. The sea elf that Anna mentioned was too far away to be seen by the naked eye, and required the use of clairvoyance magic to be seen.

After confirming the coordinates, Angelica used Eridanus Sequence 7: Walking on Water magic to easily step onto the water.

Generally speaking, releasing magic under the premise of recall disguise will interfere with the stability of recall disguise, but this is exactly where Angelica's genius lies. Magic in the sequence is often difficult to adjust, and some magicians even think that the sequence magic formula is perfect; although Angelica admits that the sequence magic formula has considerable reference value, the magicians' thinking is too old-fashioned.

Since the magic of Sequence 1 has three phenomena: symbiosis, neutralization, and contradiction, are there similar phenomena in lower sequences? Angelica found after research that the magic of Sequence 2 or lower has very little impact on the three phenomena. Even if there are magicians doing related research, they will basically choose to give up at this point, because continuing the research is nothing more than a waste of time.

But Angelica has another way. Low-sequence magic is difficult to react with other low-sequence magic, so can't we just create a new magic formula? Magicians can use magic formulas to build unique inherent magic, but the construction of inherent magic formulas requires talent, and even Angelica, who is strong, can't say that it will be 100% successful.

Angelica studied the construction of the magic formula of Recollection Disguise and deduced the inherent magic that could resonate with it in theory. If symbiosis is just two magics without any side effects, then Angelica's deduced inherent magic can even strengthen the original Recollection Disguise. Naomi did not notice that the magic formula Angelica constructed in advance had strengthened the Recollection Disguise during the inspection. The stability of Angelica's Recollection Disguise was completely different from that of other magicians.

Not only can she use magic freely, but she can also change clothes without being affected. The only drawback is that if she is hit too hard, her memory camouflage magic will still break down, but it is enough for daily life. Having said that, Angelica doesn't really like to use the baby form, because the height of the baby form makes Angelica feel insecure.

Following Anna's guidance and walking on the water for a while, Angelica saw the elf land on the reef in the distance. The area of ​​the reef was only about the size of two beds. Fortunately, this sea area was always calm and there was no need to worry about being swept away by the waves.

The elf is a girl with green hair. Incredibly, she seems to have lived on a limited reef for a while. The reef is simply decorated, and the most obvious thing is a small pot. I think she feeds on fish. The resources at sea are limited, but magic is essentially an energy source that can be replenished over time. As long as you learn the spark of Incineration Sequence 9, you can make a fire without firewood.

The only question is, why does she want to live in a place like this?

The elf girl naturally noticed Angelica's presence, but on the contrary, she did not look happy at all about being rescued. Instead, she looked panicked and covered her face with her sunburned arms.

Angelica understood the elf girl's idea. After all, they were all girls and knew how embarrassing it was to meet someone without makeup. However, there was nothing she could do. It was difficult to maintain a beautiful face with magic, even if the elves were naturally beautiful. Angelica remembered seeing food for long-term survival in the wild. After a long time, it was easy to live like a savage, with messy hair and skin covered with marks of being exposed to the sun or bitten by mosquitoes.

"first meet."

"……Hello."

The elf girl was a little reserved. Judging from her racial characteristics, she was a high elf. It was rare to see such a reserved high elf.

"My maid told me that there are elves living on the sea. I was a little interested so I decided to come and see. Did it disturb your life?"

"I haven't talked to anyone else in a long time...something's been fun."

If I say that, I don't think I'm disturbing you.

The other party was relatively easy to talk to, and after a few exchanges, Angelica learned that the elf girl was named Nicola, and was a high elf born in a town called Hol on the Elf Island.

Angelica asked Anna to give Nicola a simple cleaning. Nicola protested slightly because elves don't like others touching their bodies. However, Nicola's protest was only superficial. The moment Angelica took back her suggestion, Nicola immediately became flustered. Obviously, compared with the elf's self-esteem and the not-so-clean body, it was more important to deal with the latter.

Walking on water magic is a sequence seven magic. Angelica realized that Nicola was trapped on the reef because she did not master the walking on water magic.

"Shall I help you get out of here?"

After Anna cleaned Nicola neatly, Angelica made another suggestion. She has always been friendly to beautiful girls. Although elves are stubborn, who can blame them for having good looks that the witch lady likes?

Angelica can easily cast the water walking magic on Nicola by using the Charity Sequence 9 Rose of Giving.

259 The Witch Lady's Way to Stay

Nicola did not respond to Angelica immediately. She used the surface of the water as a mirror, reflecting the face that Anna helped her to take care of. Even the weathered face could not conceal the natural beauty of the high elf.

Nicola suddenly covered her face and cried. Angelica and Coppelia looked at each other. Although they could understand Nicola's mentality of not dressing up for a long time, wasn't the most urgent task to leave this inconspicuous reef?

After a while, Nicola, whose emotions had gradually stabilized, responded in a hoarse voice.

"I can't go with you."

"You don't look like you like living here."

"It has nothing to do with whether I like it or not... I am guilty and must stay here until I die."

"crime……?"

Angelica did not find any signs of magical restrictions. In other words, Nicola's range of activities was not confined by magic, but was subject to other constraints.

Angelica didn't even know much about human laws. She had always been a villain who used magic to do evil things, not to mention that the laws of elves were very different from those of humans. Angelica speculated that Nicola might have committed a crime and was exiled.

"If you don't want to leave, then there's nothing I can do."

Angelica didn't care much about the laws of the elves, but she didn't have the habit of trying to please someone she didn't like. Angelica decided to help Nicola because she was a beautiful girl. Since Nicola was unwilling to take that step, Angelica would not insist any further.

Nicola opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just lowered her head and stammered words that were almost impossible for a high elf to say.

"I can't leave...thank you."

Angelica was slightly startled. She had known high elves before and knew how stubborn they were. It was very rare for Nicola to say thank you to a stranger she met for the first time. However, Nicola was unwilling to leave the sea, so Angelica had no choice but to leave.

When Nicola was almost out of sight, Angelica looked back and saw Nicola sitting dejectedly on the rocks, hugging her knees and sobbing.

The witches and their companions continued to move towards the river valley where the dragons lived. Near sunset, Anna received a message through her clairvoyance magic.

"Master, is there... a village? A town ahead?"

"Anna is very concerned about the layout of the elves' town, right?"

Angelica understood Anna's doubts. The elves had a special way of living. They were also a group-living race, but each household kept a certain distance from each other. Rather than a residence, it was more like a small manor. The elves had a long lifespan, but they were not a race that liked to have more servants. Therefore, on the island with a fixed land area, they had never worried about the shortage of land for thousands of years.

"The layout of the town ahead looks like different adventure groups working together in a strange land, keeping vigilant to each other."

"Interesting but very vivid metaphor, worthy of my Anna."

Angelica had been a member of a pioneering adventure group, and she understood Anna's description very well. Especially when she was exploring the dungeon, she met strange adventure groups. They basically worked together but kept their distance from each other, because the dungeon was a dark place. There were friendships of cooperation to overcome dangers, but also dark murders and treasure grabbing.

"Elves are very careful about their privacy. They don't have the custom of getting along well with their neighbors. They believe that keeping a distance from each other and not interfering with each other's private space is the greatest respect."

"I see... That's why their houses are so far apart..."

"I don't care about their habits." Coppelia curled her lips, "I just know that elves are difficult to communicate with, and every time I go to Albion, I can't find a place to stay."

"Gobelle is too stupid. Let me show you how to ask the elves for shelter."

Angelica took the lead and found one of the elves' residences. In the human world, such houses could only be afforded by wealthy businessmen, but towns of high elves could be found everywhere.

By the way, high elf towns often do not have patrolling guards. Basically, there are elven magicians in every town. Once someone has ill intentions, the elven magicians in the town will always notice it first.

But...

dong dong dong.

After knocking on the door for a long time, the owner of the house finally came to open the door very reluctantly.

The owner of the house is a young elf... at least that's what he looks like. The age of an elf cannot be judged simply by appearance, and their lifespan will maintain an appearance similar to that of a human youth for a long time.

"I don't welcome you."

The elf didn't even bother to ask who Angelica and the others were. When she saw that Angelica was a foreigner, she guessed that they were probably here to stay overnight, so she rejected Angelica straight away.

Just as she was about to slam the door and turn the guest away after saying this, her pupils suddenly shrank and she felt something cold on her neck.

dagger.

The slightest movement would be enough to slit her throat.

When...? No, it's magic...

The elf confirmed with the corner of her eye that there was actually no one behind her, but a dagger appeared out of nowhere and was pressed against her vitals.

The elves could not understand why the visiting humans could perform magic without alerting the elven magicians in the town.

"We would like to stay for one night. I believe the kind-hearted Elf lady will not let us sleep on the streets, right?"

Angelica made the request with a very ladylike smile, but to the elf it looked like a devil's smile, and she knew she had no right to refuse.

"Okay... just for one night..."

"See? Coppelia, isn't it very relaxing?"

"Angie's way of communicating with the elves is really...special...?"

"We are witches. The elf magicians are no match for us."

Angelica said as a matter of course that she was not the type to take into account the customs of the elves and expose herself to the rain in the wild. Besides, Angelica would not do anything extra by breaking into someone else's home like a robber. The hosts who had entertained her all commented that she was a very decent guest, unless they said something like "Hey, ma'am, you have a daughter?", which would be a little bit outrageous.

All in all, Angelica doesn't follow the local customs when doing things in Albion. She prefers to make herself comfortable in her own way.

【Witch TIPS】

After reaching the eternal realm, other witches who are still alive will feel a resonance and realize that a new extraordinary person has been born. There is a view that witches should be regarded as a new race, but extraordinary people do not agree with this view. However, their long lifespan always creates a gap between them and their normal lifespan counterparts. It is for this reason that extraordinary people will most likely at least meet each other.

260 Elves' Customs

"Huh? So this is Hall?"

After asking, Angelica learned that the town they arrived at was Hol, the hometown of the elf Nicola they met at sea, and also the place where she was exiled.

The Elves Forced to Take Them in : Harriet seems proud of this.

"Yes, my beautiful hometown Hor is the second most beautiful place in Albion after Camlann. Be grateful, foreigners. You deserve to be thanked for being able to breathe the air of Hor!"

"Camlan...Shouldn't the best place in Albion be Avalon, where the Elf King lives?"

The so-called Camlann is where Gwenhwyfar, the high priest of the northern elves, lives. Although it can be considered magnificent, there are still visible differences compared with the true masterpiece of the elves: Avalon where the Elf King lives.

Angelica knew that saying this would make Harriet unhappy, but she found the high elf's serious argument very interesting.

As expected, Harriet immediately corrected her in a stern manner, criticizing the poor aesthetic taste of the southern elves and praising the unique vision of the northern elves. When Harriet came to her senses, she was surprised to find that all the food on the table had been swept away by Angelica.

“How could you…!”

"Thank you for hospitality."

"Leave some for me! I haven't eaten yet!"

"Anyway, there are a lot of them in Albion, right?"

Angelica was very familiar with the environment in Albion. The elves did not like to go to foreign territories. One reason was their racial nature, they were not happy to communicate with other races, and the other was their habits in various aspects, such as diet.

Both humans and orcs have a civilization that uses firewood to cook, but the elves are a little special. The fruits grown in the soil where they live: Albion are enough to fill their stomachs. Albion has many fruit trees similar to apple trees in the human world, and their fruits are delicious and filling. Considering that the elves are not a race that likes to reproduce on a large scale, they can completely rely on the gifts of nature to feed themselves.

Some people may wonder, is it really okay to leave your fate entirely to nature? However, the environment of Albion, the elves' widespread mastery of magic, and other factors have led to the fact that Albion has never had a locust plague and every household has Sequence Nine magic to preserve food for a long time, thus developing a strange and unique culture.

Elves do not farm, they only process food. If you go to the kitchen of an elf's home, you will find only seasonings, but no iron pots for making fire.

"The gifts given to us by the great god Mithra are inexhaustible, but I still feel uncomfortable when I think of sharing them with strangers like you."

Harriet said this angrily, and then left alone to get the fruit that would fill her stomach.

"Master, do you want Anna to follow..."

"No need. High elves are very respectful."

Angelica knew the character of the high elves very well.

"If other high elves knew that she had entertained unwelcome outsiders, she would be laughed at by her compatriots. So from the moment she entertained us, she would never have asked the elven magicians to deal with us."

"This, this is it..."

"Speaking of which, we are quite lucky. We actually found a solitary elf all of a sudden."

If there were other elves in Harriet's house, Angelica would have to use other magical means. Fortunately, Harriet is a solitary elf, so if she could deal with Harriet, she would be able to solve everything.

"Whether you live alone or not doesn't interest me. I think we should get some rest early, as we have to continue our journey tomorrow."

"Gobelle, you really don't like elves at all..."

"I'm not like Anjie who has a special fetish for bad races."

Coppelia said unhappily that in fact, many people who have come into contact with elves have rather subtle opinions about them. If orcs are intuitively barbaric and rude, then elves are typical people with low emotional intelligence.

Coppelia chose to go back to her room to rest. Elves usually don't have rooms for guests in their houses. They don't have the habit of hosting guests. But Harriet's house still has two rooms for her parents. Elves choose to live separately from their parents after they become adults, and only get together occasionally. Elves don't have the custom of sharing a bed after marriage, which means that elves still live separately after marriage. Human farmers don't have such spacious houses, only nobles have them, but every elf household is like this.

Harriet strongly protested against Angelica and others occupying her parents' room. Under Angelica's coercion and inducement, Harriet finally chose to agree humiliatingly. However, Coppelia disagreed on how to allocate the two rooms for three people. She strongly demanded to live in one room with Angelica, and Anna went to the other. In the end, Anna was the one who was wronged. She said that she could sleep in the living room and would be there as soon as possible for any request.

Coppelia basically didn't have insomnia. As a doll, she could actively put herself into standby mode. After confirming that Coppelia was on standby, Anna returned to the living room and reported the truth to Angelica.
