Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

"This is ridiculous. Black Witch, please be aware of your identity. You are a sinner on Albion Island."

I don’t remember it through images…

Angelica was so rude on purpose. She could imagine that the reason why Gwenhevere knew her was because of the wanted posters everywhere on the Elf Island. As the most powerful magician of the high elves, Gwenhevere was on guard. But it didn't seem to be the case. So how did Gwenhevere expose Angelica's disguise?

A normal magician would first question whether there was something wrong with his memory disguise, thinking that there might be something wrong with him, which eventually led to his accidental exposure. However, Angelica could not reflect on the shortcomings of her magic. She was sure that it was not her magic that had a problem, but that Gwenhwyfar must have some special means.

Either Gwenhevere has some magic props that Angelica doesn't know about, or... there is a magician who has seen Angelica in person and given her guidance, so he can help Gwenhevere identify Angelica.

"So the high priest is here to arrest me and question me?"

"I will not arrest you now, even if you are the demon that brought disaster to the island of Albion. The warrant offering a reward for you was issued by Auberon, and I will not follow his orders."

"You are really awkward..."

Angelica knew that Gwenhever was quite dissatisfied with the Elf King Oberon, but she didn't know how it had been twisted to this extent. Gwenhever was probably planning to overthrow Oberon and become the Elf King himself, and then personally issue a wanted order to capture Angelica.

Angelica was helpless. She had only flirted with a few more elf girls on Albion Island, but the elves held such a grudge against her. What could she do? Elves were all very beautiful.

"I heard that... the Black Witch has a close relationship with Oberon."

"It's a friend."

After all, the contemporary Elf King Oberon is a very interesting guy. In the Elf Island where most of the ladies are graceful ladies, Oberon prefers younger ones and does not have the airs of a king at all. Angelica is willing to deal with such a person. It is not that she covets the Elf King's wife or anything, absolutely not.

But it is no open secret that Angelica is friends with the current Elf King. Angelica has a bad reputation in the Elf Island. If the elves knew that the two were actually friends, it would probably turn into a farce about why His Majesty was collaborating with the enemy.

"It is said that in human territory, if two humans maintain friendly relations, they will lend a helping hand when one of them is in danger."

“That’s the case, but it depends on the individual.”

"But when it comes to disputes within other races, it's a bit inappropriate to provide assistance without authorization, don't you think so, "Black" Witch?"

"Hmm... Does the High Priest want me to remain neutral?"

Angelica understood why Gwenhevere had summoned her. As a witch, Angelica's power should not be underestimated. If she stood on either side, it would greatly change the direction of the conflict. Gwenhevere had no intention or ability to win over Angelica. The only thing she could do was to hope that Angelica would stand on the neutral side.

In fact, Angelica had meant something similar. Oberon was her friend, but on the Elf Island, his first identity would always be the Elf King. If there was a conflict within the Elf Island, it would not be appropriate for Angelica to intervene. Although it was equivalent to fulfilling her friend's duty, Oberon's ability to handle it as the Elf King would be questioned. It would be hard to convince others to rely on foreign aid when encountering any trouble.

But what Angelica thought was different from Gwenhever's request. The high elves thought highly of themselves, and Gwenhever's condescending tone made Angelica a little unhappy. Rebellious psychology was a sign of immaturity, but Angelica seldom claimed to be mature.

It might be fun to make the high priest look shaken and surprised. Just as Angelica was thinking about this, someone stood up.

"No. Helping each other is a virtue that God teaches us. When brothers and sisters need help, we must support each other."

309 The Witch Lady and the Heretic

Angelica held her forehead silently. Sister Alice was indeed like that. She would actively preach to anyone and never cared about the other person's identity and status.

"who are you?"

"God gave me the name of Alice, Archbishop Gwenhwyfar, don't you remember God's teachings? Love your neighbor."

"...I don't understand what you are saying. But if you expect me to be kind to Oberon and the southern elves, I can tell you clearly that this is impossible. They are living shamelessly in the wrong way, and I need to correct them."

Gwenhwyfar categorically denied Sister Alice.

"Everyone's existence has their own value. As long as we have a common belief, we should not hurt each other."

"Faith? Humph, their faith is also wrong. If they had the right faith, they would definitely not lack respect for the noble High Elves."

Gwenhuaifar looked at them with sympathy. It seemed that these foreign humans did not understand the true rules and principles. It was the responsibility of the high elves to teach them how to behave properly.

"Let me tell you what is a reasonable and correct order. Humans and orcs are constantly provoking disputes. Ultimately, it's all about power. Humans fight for territory, and orcs fight to prove who is the most muscular and reckless man."

It should be a warrior, Angelica corrected quietly.

"The desire for power among humans and orcs is meaningless. We elves almost never fight each other... The reason why we are superior to other races is that every life is arranged in order of status when it is born. God created life, but there is always a sequence, and this sequence symbolizes the status of life."

Gwenhevere held up four fingers.

"The first life created was the Son of God. God regarded these people as his own flesh and blood. They were the real masters of this world and had the right to enjoy all the beauty of the world. Then, in order to protect the Son of God, God created the second type of people to guard order, and they took it as their honor and responsibility to guard the Son of God. The third type of people God created were weavers. They did not have the ability to protect the Son of God, but they could please the Son of God with musical instruments, cloth, food and other means. The fourth type of people were born as slaves, because this was the mission God gave them. Just like a blooming rose, the Son of God is the petal and pistil, the second type of people who protect them are the armed thorns, the third type of people who provide them with entertainment are the green leaves, and the lowest type of people are the roots buried in the ground."

Angelica wanted to say that the roots were the most important thing, but the more important thing now was that Angelica always felt that the ideas expounded by Gwenhwyfar were somewhat familiar.

"Each soul is unique and will return after death; the soul of the Son of God will still be the Son of God after reincarnation, and the soul of the servant will still be the servant after reincarnation. In this way, a peaceful order will be maintained forever."

Gwenhwifar believed that the duties of all people were written at birth. The descendants of nobles are still nobles, the descendants of farmers are still farmers, and the descendants of merchants are still merchants. Only with a hereditary system at the soul level can the world be peaceful.

"...No one wants to stay at the bottom. Someone will definitely rebel, right?"

"Unrest and error come from such unrealistic ideas. The mission of a slave should not be to resist why he is a slave, but to fulfill his duty as a slave. A world that allows people who are given the duties of slaves by God to sit in positions that do not belong to them should be corrected."

Angelica felt that Gwenhwifa's theory was a bit too overbearing. The church in the human world was deceiving people... When preaching, at least they would say that after believing in religion, the soul can go to heaven and enjoy happiness. Gwenhwifa's theory was so bad that it directly told people that you were a slave in your previous life, this life, and the next life. How could people accept this? The only people who could accept this theory were...

"So the High Elves are...?"

"We high elves were originally the sons of God created by God, but we have not received the respect we deserve. The elves in the south are the second type of life that served us, and now they shamelessly occupy the throne and land. As for humans, they are probably the third type of life created by God."

"Huh? Dividing people into different classes is just...wait, isn't this a caste system?"

Angelica finally remembered why she felt that Gwenhwyfar's ideas were familiar. It seemed a bit like the caste system that existed in the world before she traveled through time.

In the caste system, people are divided into four classes: Brahmins, which symbolize the mouth and nose of the original man; Kshatriyas, which symbolize the arms of the original man; Vaishyas, which symbolize the thighs of the original man; and Shudras, which symbolize the feet of the original man. In addition, there are the lowest class, Dalits, who are excluded from the original man and are also called untouchables.

Gwenhevere's idea is to divide the races according to the order in which God created them. She believes that the high elves are the first race created by God, that is, the Brahmins, followed by ordinary elves, the Kshatriyas, humans are classified as Vaishyas, and orcs may have fallen to the status of Shudras.

As for the order in which God created life, it is most likely made up by the high elves. No matter how you look at it, they are vested interests, just like the caste system itself is a ruling tool created by the Brahmins in order to control their own power.

"Caste? I don't understand what you're talking about, but it seems like a good word."

"certainly not!"

Angelica had full sympathy for her friend Oberon. A high priest who wanted to establish a caste system appeared in the northern elves. No wonder Oberon complained that Gwenhwyfar was difficult to deal with. The high elves undoubtedly supported Gwenhwyfar, because once Gwenhwyfar became the elven king and promoted the system she believed in, the high elves would basically be able to lie down and enjoy the good life.

"——I cannot agree with your point of view."

Sister Alice's expression remained unwavering.

"When the Kingdom of Heaven truly comes, everyone and every race will be equal. There will be no superiors or inferiors, no struggles or hostility. Anyone can find their own happiness. This is the true meaning of what God teaches us."

"It is precisely because of the existence of people like you who are unable to correctly recognize their mission that I want to restore reasonable order to Albion Island."

Gwenhwyfar was further vindicated by Sister Alice's objections, who still believed that Oberon and the Southern Elves took too much that did not belong to them.

"You are the archbishop, why can't you understand God's will and lead the lambs onto the right path?"

Sister Alice felt sincerely sad that the conversation between two people of different faiths was completely incomprehensible, but some things could be understood even if there was no communication.

"I understand. You... No, you are a heretic bewitched by the devil. It's okay. I will come to save you."

310 Royal Redwood Wand

Sister Alice's missionary methods were never elegant. She would first preach through brainwashing-style chatter. If she found out that the other party was a heretic, Sister Alice would beat the person until the other party agreed to believe in the religion.

If the other party insisted on not believing in religion, Sister Alice would choose to terminate the function of the body without a soul, or in layman's terms, kill the other party. Although Sister Alice began to believe that the existence of heresy had its own reasons under Angelica's persuasion, there were some things that Angelica could not change.

For example, Sister Alice's fervent missionary spirit and... the armed crusade against heresy.

"The so-called salvation is to lead the lost souls back to the arms of the Lord. The Lord is merciful and willing to give the children who have made mistakes a chance to repent again."

Although she was speaking kind words, Sister Alice took out a sickle that was bigger than her. The last time Sister Alice showed her weapon was at night, and Angelica didn't have time to pay close attention: Sister Alice actually took out the sickle from under the skirt of her nun's uniform.

Gwenhwifar was not afraid at all. She was the high priestess of the high elves and would not be frightened by a girl pulling out a huge thing from under her skirt.

"Disgrace yourself."

Gwenhevere sneered and summoned his magic wand, confronting Sister Alice.

In a flash, Camlann Castle turned into a battlefield between two powerful magicians. Anna used chains to form a barrier to protect Angelica from the aftermath of the magic battle. She would not let her master's clean dress be stained with the dust of the dispute.

Her wand... is made of wood...

Angelica noticed the wand in Gwenhevere's hand. As a magician, Angelica was knowledgeable and could tell the composition of the wand just by a cursory observation of its appearance.

The magic wand is an important auxiliary prop for magicians to cast magic. The best material to choose is trees that have been refined by the earth veins. The trees on the Elf Island are the most suitable. However, the custom of the elves is to protect trees and refuse to harvest trees for making magic wands. This is one of the reasons why the elves are long-lived but not very outstanding in magical attainments.

However, the elves' standards are quite strange. Perhaps because the Elf Island is somewhat xenophobic, most elves are not interested in what happens in the outside world. Even if they know that magicians in the human world are using wands made of trees, the elves have little interest. They are neither angry nor have the intention to stop it.

Therefore, if a magic wand made in the human world were to be passed on to the Elf Island, the elves would angrily scold the humans for being shameless... and then confiscate the magic wands and use them themselves. Over time, few human merchants would come to the Elf Island to sell magic wands, because there was a high probability that the elves would confiscate them as contraband, and they would lose all their money.

This is especially true for high-cost wands.

"The wand in Gwenhwyfar's hand is made of a tree that has been nourished by the magical veins for more than 800 years. Judging from the material... it is a royal redwood tree that can only be collected in the Rhine Federation..."

Royal redwood, a variant of redwood affected by the magic of the earth veins, is the finest material for making wands. The name royal was given by the king of a certain country in the past, because it is so rare that only a handful of magicians in a country are qualified to use it, just like the chief magician of the court, symbolizing the most powerful magical power in a country.

After the establishment of the Rhine Federation, it covered all areas suitable for the growth of royal redwood trees, so the magic wands made of royal redwood trees must have come from the Rhine Federation.

How did Gwenhwyfar obtain it?

While Angelica was thinking, Gwenhuaifa and Sister Alice had distanced themselves again. The two were still tied, but judging from the injuries on their bodies, Gwenhuaifa had the upper hand. Sister Alice's nun's uniform had been torn in many places, so Gwenhuaifa had it much easier.

Sister Alice's many injuries are more like relying on her powerful self-healing ability to selectively endure some magic in exchange for the opportunity to counterattack. If the battle continues, Sister Alice may turn the offensive and gradually suppress Gwen.

Sister Alice and Gwen made quite a commotion, but no guards came to rescue them. This was not because the high elves were dissatisfied with Gwen or Angelica had used some tricks, but purely out of the high elves' self-esteem. Some people would be grateful for being helped, while others would feel greatly humiliated after being helped because their ugly appearance was shown to outsiders.

Most of the high elves belonged to the latter group, and the stronger they were, the more obvious their power was. If any guards came, Gwenhuaifar would be angry instead: as a dignified high priestess, she was unable to take down the offending usurper in a short period of time, which was simply a great shame.

Not only that--

"You...are actually a dirty vampire...!"

Gwenhwifar made no secret of her disgust. In fact, there was no racial connection between vampires and elves, but some elves were very resistant to vampires, and Gwenhwifar, who tried to implement the caste system, was naturally one of them. The reason was that vampires were also a race with pointy ears and were equally beautiful. Elves who were resistant to vampires thought that vampires were completely inferior cosplay. After all, elves were very fussy.

"Vampires can't even be called the fourth type of people! They are just a shameless and inferior race that crawled out of the waste when God created life!"

"It's a shame. There is only one kind of inferior person in the world, that is, those who are alive but don't know how to thank God. Praise God's mercy, God even allows you to breathe the same air as us."

Gwenhuaifa has never been a generous person. When she found out that Sister Alice was a vampire, she decided that she must eliminate Sister Alice.

However, Sister Alice's strength far exceeded Gwen's expectations. In order to accurately and effectively kill the vampires who should not exist in the world, the only way is...

"I don't want to waste a life as inferior as yours... just consider it as a little pity from me for your shamelessness."

Gwenhever raised the wand in her right hand. Sister Alice's intuition told her that Gwenhever was going to use her trump card. Although she didn't know what it was, she had a bad feeling.

...nothing happened.

The only thing that changed was Gwenhwyfar's expression. He was so angry that his entire facial features were twisted together.

"You really don't want to be a neutral person, "Black" Witch!"

"I should be the one having a headache."

Obviously, Angelica intervened and forcibly interrupted Gwenhwaef's magic release, and her expression was also very subtle.

"Are you crazy? Are you going to use the Queen's Sequence One magic?"

311 Miss Witch Remains Neutral

Gwenhwifa is a contemporary magician who occupies a rare sequence of less than three digits, reaching the pinnacle of the Queen sequence.

As a battle-hardened witch, Angelica is familiar with the effects of all magic sequence one. At first glance, the Queen sequence is likely to be favored by female magicians, including Angelica.

But the pinnacle of the Queen Sequence One: Absolute Sovereignty is not a good magic. It is endowed with a concept similar to that of a queen bee, who will become the absolute king of a group and make her subjects devote themselves to her.

Once this magic is activated, it will draw power from the people who have been affected by this magic in advance to strengthen itself. Sequence One magic does not care about feelings or reason. The amount of power drawn is determined by the magic user. Of course, this magic will also cause the person whose power is drawn to die of exhaustion... Gwenhwyfer probably doesn't care about the life and death of the subjects whose power she draws, and may even think that dying for her is a supreme honor.

When Angelica knew the effect of the magic of the Lord's Authority, she lost interest. According to her experience, the Spirit Bomb must be used actively to achieve the effect of a plot-killing move, and forced sacrifice is often the standard for villains.

"I am the one who decides when to use magic. Don't you think you are reaching too far?"

"That requires the ability to do it. I don't think it would be effective for someone who can't intervene by force to persuade with words."

Angelica ignored Gwenhevere's anger with ease. She was not a child who would get angry easily, unless the other party slandered her appearance or someone she valued. Besides, Angelica was right. Gwenhevere was definitely not the type who could be persuaded with words.

"I just think it's not worth sacrificing a few lives just to save face. Although the attitude of the high elves is quite bad, I don't want to see a beautiful girl die because of a trivial matter."

"How can this be considered a small matter when it comes to vampires whose very existence is an insult to the elves?"

"Similarly, the other party is a heretic who blasphemes God, Lord Angel!"

Sister Alice was also very dissatisfied. In her opinion, heretics should either return to the right path or die. It was unreasonable for someone like Gwenhwifa to resist to the death.

"Miss Sister, you should know that God's permission for non-believers to exist is also a manifestation of God's tolerance. Miss Sister, you should know that non-believers are in trouble. Those who are skeptical will surely take it as a warning when they see the miserable end of souls without salvation."
