Now that I think about it, Hyde had always refused Brian's long-term stay in Hexham, probably because she was worried that Brian would catch her dating other high elves. It would be a shame to waste such an inexhaustible gold mine.
306 Miss Witch and Self-denial
Hyde confirmed again, but Brian was still nowhere to be seen at the blood donation center. The conversation with Angelica and Anna was just a way for Hyde to kill time, and she was still looking forward to Brian's arrival. But Hyde was not a very patient person, especially when it came to Brian. She was used to Brian unconditionally satisfying her requests no matter how willful they were.
"Tell Brian that he is out of time. I hope he can compensate me for my loss with ten times the price of the bracelet."
"Goddess Hyde, you and Mr. Brian have been together for a long time. I think Mr. Brian's previous efforts should be exchanged for a few minutes of your waiting."
"When he gave, I gave back."
Hyde said lightly.
"I'm willing to chat with him for a few minutes every time. He should be grateful for the opportunity to talk to the high elves."
After saying that, Hyde prepared to leave. The place she was heading to was exactly the direction the male elf had left. Maybe she was going to have a tryst with him. The previous separation was just to wait for her new bracelet.
"Wait a moment."
Angelica suddenly called out to Hyde.
"You dropped something."
"Hmm?...Oh, it's definitely mine."
Hyde's Angel Voice appeared in Angelica's hand at some point. After Hyde took back the Angel Voice, he left without looking back. Before leaving, a strange thought flashed through Hyde's mind. Why would she confide in two humans whom she met for the first time? It was as if she was controlled by magic, but soon Hyde's sense of disharmony passed like a meteor.
Angelica did what she could for Brian.
By connecting the angel's voice through magic, Brian on the other end must have heard Hyde's true evaluation of him just now.
Angelica did not tell Anna about her plan, but Anna also saw through her master's behavior. The Voice of Angels could not have appeared suddenly. Angelica stole the Voice of Angels without anyone noticing, and covered her magic formula, transmitting their voices to Brian intact.
"Master, will Mr. Brian wake up?"
"...Hard to say."
Angelica couldn't give an answer.
"Love always makes people blind. It's not so much that they can't see the other person's shortcomings, but even if they do see them, they will convince themselves otherwise."
Brian's mentality is very much like that of a gambler who expects to get rich overnight. He always expects that "maybe things will change this time" and is never willing to take a step back on his own initiative. Some people can stop before they are crushed to pieces, but others fall into the abyss with unrealistic dreams.
In any case, love belongs to two people, and at least there must be an equal response to make it work. Although Angelica had always played the role of rejecting Coppelia, she did not always reject her.
To this day, Angelica can still remember how she felt at that time.
"Angie Angie~!"
"what happened?"
"I found that I kind of like Anjie. The kind of like that makes me want to be her lover."
The White Witch said this with a smile as bright as spring breeze, and the Black Witch did not reject her with indifference or as a matter of course.
Speaking of Angelica's mood at that time, there was no doubt that she was ready to respond to Coppelia. It was not because Coppelia was a beautiful girl, nor did she have any special ideas. Angelica just felt that she and Coppelia had known and accompanied each other for a long time, so long that Angelica had become accustomed to Coppelia harassing her from time to time.
But when Angelica found out about Coppelia's XP, her mood was completely different.
……
In a tent in a campsite.
Brian held the Angel's Voice in a daze, but the sound coming from the other side was not the angel's heavenly music.
The witch conveyed Hyde's words to Brian through magic, hoping that he could see Hyde's true nature.
But he actually knew that Hyde had never looked him in the eye.
Even so, this stupid elf insisted on doing things like a moth to a flame. Even when Hyde described him as an inferior elf, Brian did not get angry.
In his relationship with Hyde, Brian has come to accept his inferior identity.
...It is said that some parents adopt extreme educational methods and never give their children any encouragement. Whenever their children do something worth celebrating, they will only use words to discourage their children's enthusiasm, believing that doing so can suppress emotions of pride and complacency and motivate their children to be more motivated.
However, children who never receive encouragement will be confused, frustrated, and self-doubting, and will eventually develop an inferiority complex. In the future, if they receive any praise that belongs to them, they will be overwhelmed and flattered, as if they have received something they should not have.
The same is true in love. Some people tend to subtly deny and question everything about the other person, causing them to doubt themselves and think they are full of shortcomings. At this time, they will rely on their lover, even if she denies everything about them, because she is the only one who can accept themselves with all their flaws.
Brian no longer knew what value he had besides pursuing Hyde.
What's more, he has lost everything. Only by pursuing Hyde can Brian feel alive. He keeps hypnotizing himself, telling himself that there will be a day when everything will turn around.
But when he heard Hyde express her true thoughts in person, Brian felt the emptiness he had been avoiding.
Brian still decided to go see Hyde.
Because only Hyde can accept him.
The moment the wheelchair was pushed, something fell from the back of Angel Voice.
It was a very small thing, and Brian picked it up with difficulty.
“Dragon scales…”
Dragon scales. It was the last gift the witch left him, and it could be sold for a high price.
Of course, at the rate Helen was squandering, the value of the dragon scales would be completely squeezed out by her sooner or later.
Having said that——
If you have the courage to take a step back.
Let's use the proceeds from selling the dragon scales as a new beginning.
The choice is yours.
Brian's hands were shaking as he held the dragon scale. He didn't know who left the dragon scale to him. The witch didn't tell him her true identity, and she wouldn't pay attention to Brian's decision. Brian kept repeating one sentence, which was a great gratitude to the elves.
"thanks, thanks……"
【Witch TIPS】
Some people may complain that the AI version of Coppelia doesn't look like Angelica at all. The reason is that AI cannot be used to create the same face. In short, the setting is that Coppelia's face shape is the same as Angelica's.
307 [The Witch and the High Priest]
Camlann, a magnificent city in the north of the Elf Island, but in fact, Camlann is a castle located near the border between the north and the south.
The most amazing wonder on the Elf Island is the trees. Since the elves are keen on protecting trees, the trees on the Elf Island are much more luxuriant than those in other places. Although Albion Island is not an island with extremely thriving earth veins like the Fairy Island, a powerful magician still created miracles on this island.
The Blue Witch, Trahil.
Trahil likes to use magic to nourish trees, making them grow into towering trees as her residence. She likes to enjoy the melodious wind at high places. However, the high elves in the north are not a generous race, just like the church in the human world will not allow other buildings to be higher than the church in a town with a church.
Among the many extraordinary people, the "Green" witch is the most autistic one. After sensing the targeted intentions of the high elves, Trahil, who possesses powerful magical attainments, did not choose to argue. She gave up the giant tree she had cultivated and moved to the land south of the Elf Island.
The trees where Trahil once lived were occupied by high elves, who later hired some builders to build Camlann, the most magnificent tree castle in the north.
The high priests of the high elves also lived in Camlann Castle. They believed that this was the place where they could better feel the grace of the sun god Mithra.
"What devout believers... They voluntarily let the archbishop who guides them live in the place closest to heaven, and they are willing to look up to the prophet."
"That's actually just a place closer to the sun...but it's up to you to interpret it however you want."
Below Camlann Castle, Sister Alice was intoxicated. She seemed to like the design of Camlann Castle very much, and regarded it as a symbol of the elves' piety. The human church has the characteristic of setting the church at the highest point in the town, and placing bells on the church bell tower to imitate the trumpets of angels.
After Angelica and her companions arrived at Camlann Castle, they informed the elves of the purpose of their trip. According to the rules of the High Priest of the Northern Elves, anyone who wanted to go to the south must obtain her consent.
When Angelica was in Hexham, she asked the human merchants there. They told her that it was easy to get a pass and there would generally be no problems. She just needed to fill in the purpose of her trip to the south. It would be best if she had a historical record of living on the Elf Island, but even if she didn't, it would not be a big deal and she could just wait for a while.
But based on Angelica's experience, generally speaking, if there are no accidents, then the time will come when an accident is about to happen.
As expected, the elves who went to inform the high priest failed to bring good news.
"Lord Gwenhwyfar, the most honorable high priest who is blessed by God and commands the northern part of Albion, has decided to personally bestow you with glory."
"Hmm... Does that mean she decided to meet us in person?"
The elves nodded. They would not lead the way, but it was actually very easy to find the high priest in Camlann Castle: just go to the highest point.
Angelica looked annoyed.
"Gwenhwifar wants to see us... As far as I can remember, I never had any dealings with her when I came to the Fairy Island before. I just heard Oberon complain about her. Has Sister Sister ever met Gwenhwifar?"
"I think so."
Sister Alice said kindly.
“For brothers and sisters of the same faith, there is never a first meeting, but always a reunion after a long separation.”
"…Well it looks like you haven't seen it either."
It makes sense. Sister Alice landed on Albion Island to preach in uncivilized lands. It is impossible for her to have been there before, so naturally she had no chance to meet Gwenhwyfar.
"I thought that as the high priestess, Gwenhwaifa shouldn't be free to meet anyone casually... Ah, I understand. Gwenhwaifa must be attracted by my beauty and wants to force me to go back and be her slave."
"As expected of the master, you have such a wild imagination."
Angelica couldn't figure out the reason, so she decided to take it one step at a time. After all, Gwenhwyfa couldn't do anything to her.
Under the surveillance of countless elves, Angelica and others climbed the cloud ladder. The so-called cloud ladder is not an ancient siege weapon, but an automatic floating and descending device made of a unique material on the Elf Island, much like an elevator. Its appearance is very similar to a white cloud. People living on land do not know that clouds are actually not substantial, so they simply call this cloud that conforms to their fantasy a cloud ladder.
The disadvantages of the ladder are that it is slow and can only move vertically, otherwise it would have become a unique means of transportation for the elves.
Taking the ladder and slowly floating up along the giant tree that Kamlan Castle rests on, the scenery of the Elf Island gradually came into view. In contrast to the magnificent scenery, the area around Kamlan Castle was full of elven archers and magicians preparing their weapons. The high elves were probably going to make some substantial moves in the south.
Angelica knew that a conflict would inevitably result in casualties, but she had no intention of stopping the conflict. If they wanted to fight, let them fight. After all, it was an internal conflict among the elves. Angelica only hoped that they would not take action before they crossed the defense line of the high elves.
The ladder cannot reach the throne of Kamlan Castle directly, and it is still a long way to go. The top floor of Kamlan Castle is particularly ethereal. Angelica feels a sense of holiness like a cathedral in the human world, which comes from the huge empty space. It makes people subconsciously respectful. Sister Alice has put on a solemn and serious look. She crosses her chest and forehead with every step. Maybe she regards Kamlan Castle as a holy place. However, the color matching of the swans and white doves in Kamlan Castle is indeed very similar to the style of the church.
Some people may worry that in such an open environment and at the highest point, the environment of the high priest of the high elves is too dangerous. However, there is no need to worry about the safety of the high priest. Based on some inherited reasons, the high priest must be a powerful magician.
Especially the contemporary high priest Gwenhever. If it was purely a mental problem, the Elf King Oberon would not have to worry about it. The headache was that Gwenhever was not only restless, but also a talented magician: Gwenhever had reached the highest point of magic and was a unique holder of Sequence One magic.
Angelica and the others walked to the door of the hall, and the door slowly opened inwards automatically as if it had an automatic sensor. As the door gradually unveiled the curtain of the hall of Camlann Castle, the figure of the high priest Gwenhwaifa on the throne also appeared in Angelica's eyes.
308 High Priest Gwenhwyfar
When people mention elves, especially high elves, the general impression they have is usually fair skin, long golden hair, pure looks, and an image as holy as an angel. This is not something the bard made up out of thin air. In terms of appearance alone, perhaps only the orcs cannot appreciate it, as they consider muscles to be beautiful.
The beauty of the high elves is that of pure beauty, and their high priests will bring out the beauty that the high elves are proud of to the fullest extent... Based on Angelica's understanding of the high priests of the high elves in the past, this is how it should be.
But the contemporary high elf high priest Gwenhwyfar does not seem to be that kind of person.
For some unknown reason, Gwenhevere abandoned the long hair that was the symbol of the high elves. Her hair was gray and white. Her skin was the same, and it was as pale as the vampires. Her eyeshadow and lips were painted blue. If I were to use impolite words to describe the first impression Gwenhevere gave people...
Temptress.
The vicious woman who created the conflict in the story described by the dramatist was just like this. But then again, Gwenhwyfar was indeed more of a mature woman, which was quite rare among the elves who always had a youthful look.
"——The Dark Witch, Angelica."
Eh?
Angelica was slightly startled. Gwenhwyfar actually told her name and identity accurately.
Angelica believed that Gwenhevere was not deliberately bluffing. Her tone and the gaze that was directed at Angelica showed that she was sure of who the real "black" witch was.
Although Angelica had some doubts when Gwenhever wanted to summon them, she didn't expect that Gwenhever was really coming for her.
Angelica snapped her fingers, dispelling the memory disguise magic and returning to her original form.
"It's rare to be recognized directly by someone... High Priest Gwen Huaifa, this should be the first time we meet, right?"
"This is naturally the first time we have had a direct conversation. For this reason, I forgive your rudeness."
"I can't remember the long list of titles."
Angelica curled her lips. Gwenhwyfar was obviously displeased when she heard Angelica call her the high priestess rudely. According to the custom of the elves, this was already a rather straightforward contempt, but in Angelica's opinion, the title of high priestess was too long and she had no interest in remembering it... Ah, if the other party was a beautiful girl, Angelica would still be willing to remember it. To be honest, Gwenhwyfar was not in Angelica's strike zone.
There is another point worth noting.
"Since this is our first meeting, how do you know me? Could it be that my reputation on the Fairy Island is so great that even the high priest has been observing my portrait day and night, engraving my face deep into his memory?"
