Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

"Lady Coppelia doesn't seem to like elves."

"I can't help it. If Coppelia had an elf friend, she would have a much better opinion of elves. Banshees have a bad reputation, but Coppelia once had a Banshee friend. I am happy to make friends with beautiful girls, so I know a lot of elves, although I also admit that the thinking logic of elves is very different from that of humans."

Angelica spoke slowly. It was still early and she had no intention of resting, so she began to search Harriet's room without permission.

"Master? Did you miss anything?"

"I was looking for a national novel that is well-known to all elves...ah, I found it."

Angelica quickly found a few hardcover novels from the bamboo basket in the corner. Elves are not good at hiding things. Generally speaking, people would think of hiding things in hidden corners such as under the sofa, or simply burying them underground. However, elves think that there is dust under the sofa, and the soil is not clean when digging. It is too dirty, so they hide things in clean places. When Angelica and her partners in the adventure team buried the time capsule together, the elves in the team were unwilling to help, and they said seriously that it was a matter of principle.

"Orc Slaves and the Elf Queen... and Qing's other works? Are they all collector's editions? Are Qing's novels so popular on Elf Island?"

What astounded Angelica was that Harriet not only collected the most famous works of "Qing", but also collectors' editions of other works. There was no doubt that Harriet was a die-hard fan of "Qing" and followed every one of her masterpieces.

261 Unfortunate Elf

Angelica remembered that Qing's novels were quite famous in Elf Island decades ago, but only his representative works were popular at that time. After decades, Angelica did not expect that Qing has developed to the point where there are die-hard fans who collect the whole set.

Angelica just wanted to test how popular "Qing" was, but she was a little disappointed after knowing the truth.

"Gobelle is right... Elves are indeed unreasonable creatures! I am also a witch, why is "Blue" so popular! "

Maybe the two people do different things.

"The elves cannot comprehend the merits of their masters, who are as numerous as the stars."

Anna comforted Angelica like she was comforting a child. Perhaps because her body had shrunk to that of a child, Angelica's mood swings were a little greater and she was obviously not as calm as when she was a mature woman.

Although she felt unhappy, Angelica still put Harriet's collection back intact. The high elves like to hold grudges and will remember a small friction for a long time.

Angelica had just put the bamboo basket back in its place when Harriet returned home with the rosy white fruits.

"Humph, I won't give you any this time."

Angelica had no intention of asking for more. She was already full. Moreover, from a human perspective, the fruits of the Elf Island were too bland. They could fill you up, but they were not the kind of food that would whet your appetite. By the way, the elves were not used to human food, especially peppers. They called them devil fruits and even banned them from the Elf Island.

Harriet was completely unaware of Angelica's lack of interest. She deliberately took out the freshest fruit and took a very artificial bite. Angelica couldn't help but shake her head. The high elves always revealed pride in strange places.

"Ugh...!"

Harriet's face suddenly changed, the fruit basket and fruits in her hands fell to the ground, and she covered her neck palely. Angelica thought Harriet was choked, but Anna seemed to have noticed something, and stepped forward to pry open Harriet's lips, and then used two fingers to tweeze out the foreign object from Harriet's mouth.

"That's... a parasitic nematode..."

Angelica frowned in disgust. Parasitic nematodes are mutated magical creatures that look like iron wire worms. They can drill into the bodies of humans, elves, orcs and other races to parasitize and absorb nutrients. Basically, once the parasitism is successful, ordinary doctors will be helpless, and only highly skilled magicians have the ability to remove them.

The only weakness of parasitic nematodes is that they will cause a retching sensation when invading through the mouth. If discovered in time, it can be stopped. Anna just seized the fleeting opportunity and pulled out the parasitic nematodes in the fruit.

Flames ignited at Anna's fingertips, instantly killing the parasitic nematode. Although it was a mutated magical creature, it did not require any special precautions to kill it.

"Your luck is not very good. The probability of encountering parasitic nematodes is about the same as winning the lottery."

Angelica teased, even though Harriet didn't understand what lottery meant. Ordinary people don't need to be on guard against the existence of parasitic nematodes. They are really rare, and it is completely useless to check for parasitic nematodes. On the other hand, parasitic nematodes hide in fruits such as apples and pears, and the damage to the outer skin is minimal, so it is really difficult to prevent them.

Anna stroked Harriet's back to help her catch her breath, but after Harriet gradually recovered, she immediately pushed Anna away. Anna didn't say much, as Angelica had warned her that elves didn't like other people touching their bodies.

Harriet picked up the fruit infested with nematodes, threw it roughly to the ground, and stomped on it hard. Angelica thought this was a meaningless venting of anger, and she would ask Anna not to clean it later.

“Damn it… damn Nicola… is that girl slacking off again…!”

"Nicola?"

Angelica had no intention of asking Harriet about Nicola, but who would have thought that Harriet would take the initiative to mention this name.

"It's all Nicola's fault! If she hadn't done her job to atone for her sins, how could I have suffered such misfortune...!"

Harriet glared.

"And you! That's right... It's all Nicola's fault. She must have done something wrong. You despicable foreigners..."

"Patience sequence nine: central nervous system inhibition; King sequence five: Imperial command."

Angelica used magic before Anna took action. She forcibly restrained Harriet's excitement and controlled her with magic.

Harriet suddenly became like a puppet, her eyes dull and lifeless.

"Tell me about Nicola, in all the ways you can express it."

"Yes……"

The Emperor's Command Magic cannot execute too complex commands, so Angelica added a restriction to describe it without exceeding the upper limit of the Emperor's Command.

"Nicola... is an elf born in Hor. She was exiled by us..."

"Has she committed any crime?"

"Her sin...is not noble enough...She is willing to receive outsiders, and she has no dignity of a high elf...We in Hor will exile the lowest elves to the sea, and that elf must repent for herself wholeheartedly and bear the misfortune of all Hor to atone for her sins...Nicola is the lowest elf in Hor. Only if she repents on the sea and dies, will she have the chance to reincarnate..."

"..."

"As long as Nicola sincerely repents, the elves of Hol will not suffer any misfortune. If we encounter misfortune, it must be because Nicola is not sincerely repenting."

According to Angelica, there is no such magic that one person can bear the misfortune of everyone. It must be a unique custom of the elves in Hol City. They will select the elf who is least like a high elf and exile her to the sea, where she will be exposed to the wind and sun until she dies alone on the sea. At the same time, the elves of Hol City firmly believe that the exiled elf will take away the misfortune of the entire town.

The high elves consider themselves merciful and they will not choose to kill the lowest elves. They will tell the elves that lifelong exile is atonement and redemption. If they recognize that they are sinners and sincerely repent until they die, they will still have the opportunity to reincarnate as elves again.

Nicola is the most inferior elf selected from this generation of Hall City. Her inferiority is reflected in her relatively friendly attitude towards foreigners.

However, the so-called misfortune that took away the entire town was just a superstitious distortion. Whenever the elves in Hol Town encountered bad luck, they seemed to blame Nicola, believing that it was because she did not repent properly that misfortune returned to the town.

"What if you continue to suffer misfortune?"

"It means that misfortune has returned to the town. We will once again select the worst elves and exile them. But before that... we will kill the sinners who have not truly repented..."

262 The Witch Lady's Fraud

The next day.

Nicola could no longer remember how long she had been exiled to the sea. The only thing she knew for sure was that every day was endless torment.

Although there is no bad weather in the sea between the Elf Island and the Fairy Island, all Nicola can do every day is to catch fish in the sea to survive. Elves don't like meat, they always eat the fruits naturally given by the Elf Island, especially without seasoning, eating meat is simply torture for them.

Nicola was not an elf who was good at cooking. She had felt despair more than once because of the unchanging environment day after day, and even thought about committing suicide. But no matter how different Nicola was from other high elves, she always lived in an elf environment, and believed from the bottom of her heart that elves were the most excellent race. She also believed in reincarnation and rebirth, and she could not imagine the life of a race other than elves.

The elves in Hol City all knew that they had to atone their sins until they died of natural causes. She could not escape, even by dying.

"meet again."

"Eh?!"

Nicola almost fell into the sea when she heard a familiar voice in her ears. It was the person who had visited her yesterday.

"You are... uh..."

Nicola didn't know Angelica's name.

"I am the beautiful and kind-hearted Black who is loved by everyone..."

"black?"

Nicola frowned slightly. It was rare to see a human woman deliberately emphasizing her beauty in front of an elf. Although Nicola admitted that Angelica had reason to be proud, the elf's inherent pride still made Nicola feel a little unhappy.

"Well, don't worry about it. I came here to tell you something. You were exiled from Hol City, right? I just found out that Hol City is nearby."

"Only in this way can the elves of Hol City monitor me at any time."

Nicola lowered her head. The magicians in Hall City would not monitor her 24 hours a day. For them, just looking at Nicola would make them feel uncomfortable.

"Then there is no need for you to continue to atone for your sins here - because Hall City no longer exists."

"……what?"

"That's literally what it means."

"H-Hol City is destroyed? This is impossible!"

Nicola screamed, but Angelica just spread her hands.

"If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. It won't do any good for me to deceive you."

"..."

Elves are not as gullible as fairies, especially strangers' words. But for Nicola, she knows very well what the disappearance of Hall City means.

It is the custom of Hol City rather than the consensus of the high elves that inferior fairies who are exiled to the sea must atone their sins. Therefore, if Hol City no longer exists, Nicola's atonement will lose its meaning.

Angelica brought Nicola back to Hall City. The Hall City in Nicola's memory was desolate and seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

"How...how could this happen..."

"Maybe they moved away. I forgot to inform you."

Nicola opened her mouth but said nothing in the end. This was indeed a reasonable explanation, the only problem was that Nicola knew that high elves did not like to move.

"Are you going to find out where they are?"

"I……"

Nicola was a little hesitant. She didn't want to know the whereabouts of the elves of Hall City, and she was even unwilling to continue staying in the north, because if the elves of Hall City were still alive and found her, they would never give up.

Angelica guessed Nicola's hesitation and handed her a letter.

"Let's go to the south of the Elf Island. I know the elves in the south."

"The elves in the south may not be willing to welcome me."

Nicola glanced down at the envelope and saw the recipient marked on it: Elf King Oberon.

“Who are you…eh?”

Nicola looked up again in shock and was surprised to find that Angelica was gone.

Nicola recovered from her shock and carefully put the envelope into her arms. She looked at the abandoned city of Hall with mixed feelings and set out on the road to the south of the Elf Island. She had no reason to stay in the north.

Five minutes after Nicola left, a strange fluctuation appeared at the old site of Hall City. Like a sticker being peeled off, the ruins of Hall City turned into the originally peaceful Hall City, just like before.

Angelica returned to Anna and Coppelia who were waiting for her. Coppelia removed the bandage on her face and threw it casually to the side of the road.

"Angie always likes to do extra things."

"Isn't this a happy ending? Nicola stays in such a small place every day. How can a beautiful girl be dirty and messy? Every time Coppelia comes to see me and sees me being lazy and not wanting to clean, doesn't she complain about me?"

"Others are others, but Ange is Ange. I like the smelly Ange too..."

"I always smell good at any time, okay?"

Angelica corrected Coppelia with a cold expression. Sometimes she would lie in bed and not want to move, but she would never neglect to take a bath.

What Angelica did was simple. She deceived Nicola and the elves of Hol City. The ruins of Hol City that Nicola saw were completely an illusion created by Angelica. However, as long as she could deceive Nicola and let her leave the north of the elf island, Angelica's goal would be achieved.

Hol City is not a particularly famous place on the Elf Island. It is just an ordinary town in the north of the Elf Island. The high elves living in Hol City have a fanatical love for their hometown, just like other high elves. In addition, the mobility of elves is low. Nicola probably didn't know Hol City was still there until the end of her life, unless she took the initiative to come back to see it.

It is easy to deceive one person, but it is difficult to deceive the elves in the entire town, not to mention that there are magicians in the town, and Angelica is just the magician who can deceive magicians.

When she walked to Anna's side, Anna bowed slightly to express her apology, but Angelica just waved her hand.

"Don't worry, Anna."

According to Angelica's habit, she had no objection to restoring Nicola's freedom, but she had no reason or obligation to take the initiative to do so. After all, Angelica and Nicola had only met once, and it was not the case that Angelica would be uneasy if she did not do something.

It would be a different story if Anna cared more, so in order to reassure Anna, Angelica simply used deception to give Nicola her freedom. This was not a complicated magic for her. She even replaced the cognition of the elves in Hol City and changed their custom to place a straw man on the sea to take away the misfortune of the entire town.

However, this is not in line with the elves' customs and will eventually be exposed. But by that time, the witch will have already forgotten a certain elven town and their customs in a corner.

263 [Witch and Dragon Valley]

Griff Valley, located in the north of Elf Island, is one of the most lushly vegetated areas on Elf Island. When mentioning Griff Valley, even the most arrogant elves would show a look of fear, because there lurks a formidable existence that is superior to all other elves.

Dragon clan.

The dragons of the Griff Valley are at the top of the dragon clan. The oldest dragon clan, Tiamat, the mother of dragons,

"Do you know the old legend about dragons, Anna? It is said that some people built a country on a piece of land. Until one day, the earth shook and people thought it was an earthquake. But they were surprised to find that the whole country flew into the sky. Then they found that their country was built on the back of a dragon, but the dragon fell into a long sleep and merged with the environment of the earth. This is the story of the famous country on the back of the dragon."

"The dragon race is indeed the most amazing race in the world..."
