Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

"You really didn't kill Jenny?"

"I haven't killed anyone."

The Ring of Truth remains at rest.

The leading elf even took it off and reconfirmed that the Ring of Truth was not damaged. There was only one answer: Sister Alice was telling the truth, she was not lying.

"...Well, it seems that you are indeed not the murderer of Jenny. You can pass."

After some discussion, the elves decided to let her go and the wanted warrant could be destroyed. The human woman dressed as a nun was not the murderer of Jenny. The real murderer was someone else.

Angelica and her group continued to move forward...as they should have, but Angelica could guess what Sister Alice was thinking.

"There are still things to do in Rosebury, right, Miss Sister?"

"Miss Angel always knows what's on my mind...it won't take too long, I promise."

295 "Blade" Brave Alice

It's night in Rosebury.

In order to prevent someone from sneaking out of Rosebury under the cover of night, the elves stationed in Rosebury would patrol every night. However, due to manpower issues and the fact that the high elves prefer to act alone and do not like to form partners, each elf patrolled alone, and Harun was no exception.

"That human wasn't Jenny's murderer... How strange. Maybe he used some special method...?"

Harun muttered to himself. He had mastered the magic of the Nighthawk's Song and did not need a torch. The night seemed as bright as day in his eyes.

He always doubted the authenticity of Sister Alice during the day, thinking that she used magic to deceive the Ring of Truth, but if she used magic, how did she manage to keep all the elves from noticing?

It's a headache, but since there is no solid evidence, there is nothing we can do but let the suspicious guy pass.

"——Merciful Lord."

"?!"

While patrolling on the outskirts of Rosebery, Harlan suddenly heard a voice.

Someone appeared in front of Harun, singing a ballad.

"You are……"

“Not to us, not to us, not to us.”

"Sure enough, you guy."

Harlan narrowed his eyes. The person who came was Sister Alice. She might have other intentions by going out in the middle of the night.

“Give glory to your name for your lovingkindness and faithfulness.”

"Are you talking nonsense again, you..."

A sudden chill ran down Harlan's spine.

Against the backdrop of the moonlight, Sister Alice's bloodshot eyes made Harun feel terrified. No, this guy is really a human—

puff-

“Gu…! Aaaaaaaah…?!”

Before I could react, I felt a sharp pain in my chest.

Harlan lowered his head and saw a huge long-handled sickle appear in the dark night, and the hook of the sickle pierced Harlan's chest accurately. After just one encounter, Harlan realized that he was definitely not a match for Sister Alice, but compared to the gap in strength, the fear of death firmly grasped Harlan.

"Huh? Why are you still alive...?"

"Don't, don't come over here! Please, spare me..."

"How can this be possible? You don't want to convert to the right path, but you don't want to die. I... am very troubled."

Taking refuge in the right path? Is it a human belief?

Harun couldn't believe that she could take someone's life with a smile for such a reason?

A horrifying possibility flashed through Harlan's mind.

He recalled using the Ring of Truth to conduct a lie detector test on Sister Alice during the day, but the Ring of Truth did not respond at all.

Could it be that she didn't think she was killing anyone at all?

Sister Alice gradually approached. The long-handled sickle was even bigger than her tall figure, but she wielded the sickle with her slender arms without any discomfort.

"If you don't make a decision quickly, you won't have another chance."

"...!"

A light voice came from nearby, and Harun saw Angelica speaking slowly. She didn't seem to care much about the situation here, and was examining her nails with the help of moonlight.

Harun vaguely felt that the reason Sister Alice's sickle didn't pierce his heart was definitely not because of Sister Alice's mercy, but because of Angelica's mediation. However, I'm afraid there will be no second chance.

The moment Sister Alice came to Harun and raised her sickle, Harun shouted with all his might.

"I surrender to your God!"

"Eh?"

"I, I have reformed... I am willing to follow the correct beliefs..."

Harun suppressed the severe pain in his chest and begged for forgiveness from Sister Alice in fear.

Sister Alice blinked, and then a beautiful smile broke out on her face.

"What? Brother, I thought your soul was beyond repair. I will heal you now."

Sister Alice immediately put away her sickle and used healing magic to help Harun stop the bleeding.

It was hard to believe that one second she had no emotion, and the next second she was healing like the Virgin Mary. Harlan really couldn't understand Sister Alice's thinking. Perhaps it was the huge contrast between the shock and fear before and after, or perhaps it was the excessive blood loss and physical exhaustion. During Sister Alice's healing process, Harlan gradually became exhausted and fainted.

With Angelica's permission, Anna also participated in the treatment, and finally Harun was out of danger.

Anna had to re-examine Sister Alice and the strange giant sickle behind her. This was the first time she saw Sister Alice's weapon. She had always thought that the descendants of the "Blade" hero used weapons like daggers, but she didn't expect it to be a huge sickle with a bloody blade.

Angelica had almost no contact with the descendants of the "Blade" hero in the past, but now, she finally understood what the descendants of the "Blade" hero were like.

The "Blade" hero is an assassin-like inheritance. When mentioning assassins, one will inevitably think of stealth and assassination.

However, there was something special about Sister Alice's assassination.

There was no murderous intent in her when she approached Harun and even attacked him.

It’s not that Sister Alice hid her murderous intent very well, it’s because she didn’t think this was something that needed to be done with murderous intent, just like no one would eat or sleep with murderous intent, she was just doing something very ordinary.

From this perspective, Sister Alice may be the most suitable person to inherit the "Blade" hero.

"It's all right, Sister Sister. All the elves in Rosebury have converted to the right path."

"Lord...your faithful servants have spread the gospel to uncivilized lands..."

Sister Alice was satisfied, but Anna still had doubts.

"Master Alice, can Anna ask you a question?"

"A servant of Miss Angel must also have a noble soul. Please don't be so reserved, sister."

"You said in Rosebery that you had never killed anyone, but you did want to end the life of this elf just now."

For the sake of her master's safety, Anna must find out how Sister Alice deceived the Ring of Truth, and is she really the murderer of the elf named Jenny?

"I've certainly never killed anybody."

"So what you did just now was...?"

Sister Alice's blood-red eyes were full of tenderness.

"Sister, whether you are a human, an elf, or an orc, only when you gain the correct faith can you be said to have life."

therefore--

"People who don't have the right faith can't be considered alive from the beginning, right?"

Sister Alice never killed anyone.

296 [Witch and Greed]

Angelica once imagined a problem.

How is she different from humans?

I have to state in advance that Angelica has always believed that she can be considered a human being. Her diet, preferences, and habits are no different from when she was a human. The only difference between her and humans is that she has a life that will not age or die.

Although Angelica had a high talent for magic, she was not the only one who had reached the realm of Extraordinary Beings. In addition, Angelica had not fully explored her talent and was eventually a little slack.

So, is Angelica, who has fully demonstrated her human nature, the only difference between her and humans is her lifespan?

Angelica herself could give a clear answer, which was not the case. As a witch, she still had differences from humans other than lifespan.

And this is about Angelica's preferences.

Before coming to the world of swords and magic, Angelica had seen a complaint that appearance determined everything in the two-dimensional world. If the villains committed heinous crimes and were not good-looking, they would only be ruthlessly insulted and spurned. But if they were handsome men and beautiful women with good-looking faces, there would be people willing to be their fans and whitewash them willingly.

Even if this villain is hopeless, even if this villain's reasons are ridiculous, or even completely a giant baby.

Appearance determines everything. If you are good-looking, there will be fans to whitewash you.

Angelica felt that...she might be one of those people.

It’s not to the point of ignoring everything for a face, but it is undeniable that Angelica always pays attention to appearance first. Angelica naturally doesn’t dislike interesting souls, but she is a very vulgar person. Maybe she will actively approach interesting souls only if they have good-looking appearance, otherwise she will just keep missing out.

The same is true for Angelica's pursuit after she came to the world of swords and magic and lived a different life.

She likes beautiful people, anyone will do.

Angelica will take the initiative to approach someone just because of their beautiful appearance, and she will also allow people with good-looking appearance to do some extraordinary things.

That's right, Angelica's pursuit is not noble, it can even be called evil.

Sister Alice's hands are stained with blood. Her reasons are not to practice justice. Her belief is that there is madness in calmness. Despite this, Angelica still believes in Sister Alice, and she will not give up her pursuit of Sister Alice.

Angelica did not agree with Sister Alice's ideas, nor did she intend to correct them.

If I had to describe what Angelica was doing...she was probably using the difference between a witch and a human.

When humans touch fire, they will retract their hands because of the pain, and when they meet a criminal with a history of murder, they will consciously avoid him. This is the brain's autonomous protection mechanism, but Angelica will still actively approach and will not die if she throws herself into the fire.

Witches are always very persistent about the things they like.

Just like when Angelica picked up Anna, she fell in love at first sight because she was a beautiful doll and was unwilling to give her to any sailor on the ship.

"Miss Angel?"

"Ok?"

Sister Alice's worried call brought Angelica's thoughts back to reality. No matter how many times Angelica would admit that Sister Alice was a beautiful girl who completely met her aesthetic standards.

"It is not good to desecrate holy things."

Angelica was still using the Holy Grail to drink tea, and Sister Alice would show an extremely subtle expression every time. If I had to describe it, it was a bit like the look on her face when she had a cabinet full of action figures at home and found out that she was being stared at by a naughty kid from a relative's family during the Chinese New Year.

Even so, that appearance still pleased Angelica. To be honest, Angelica didn't particularly care about Sister Alice's obsession with her faith. She was more concerned about another imminent problem.

They were about to reach Kamran.

The southern and northern parts of the Elf Island are basically blocked by the high elves. If you want to cross the defense line, you must get the consent of Gwenhwyfar, the high priest of the northern elves. This is what the high elves who were responsible for patrolling Rosebury said when they left Rosebury.

Sister Alice has a strong positive attitude towards going to Camlan. There is no need to guess what Sister Alice is going to do. She must be preparing to preach to the high priest.

It goes without saying that Sister Alice would not succeed. However, after seeing Sister Alice's methods in Rosebury Town, Angelica knew very well that Sister Alice would not give up.

In this way, conflict will be inevitable. Sister Alice will definitely have friction with the high priest Gwenhuaifa in Camlan, and she will not be afraid to preach just because Gwenhuaifa is a high priest.

"…I'm almost tired of this cup because it's not very useful."

Angelica said as if nothing had happened. Sister Alice's heart suddenly rose to her throat when she heard Angelica's words.

"Sister! Please don't destroy it. It should be placed in the church for pilgrims to worship!"

"But it would be a bit troublesome to go to the church specifically for donations."

"I can do it for you."

"Not a bad idea, but..."
