Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Albert, who was protected in the middle, was exceptionally calm.

"I have already sold my soul to the devil. Soon, the devil will come to me to claim his reward."

89 The Witch Doesn’t Understand People’s Hearts

Liches do not have the concept of natural aging and death. They themselves are undead creatures transformed after death, so madness is their fate.

Albert knew that he was about to reach the critical point of madness.

"A lich cannot kill himself."

Angelica continued.

"The lich must be killed by others. It seems that you are not aware of this. Then I have to do it."

"We won't allow you to kill our father!"

Emily was determined and Edward also raised his arms and shouted.

"Have you given up your father because of the witch's bewitching? Have you forgotten who picked us up from the forest and gave us a real life? We chose to stay here... just to protect our father!"

"...Brother Edward is right! We can't give up on father!"

"Even if father's soul changes, he is still our father... We will find a way to save father!"

"No, it's impossible."

Angelica decisively rejected the determination of Edward and others.

"Once a lich falls into madness, there is no cure, just like a dead person cannot be resurrected. You may have cooperated for a long time, but you should be aware of Albert's strength. If he falls into madness, you will not be able to kill Albert without any casualties."

Edward and Emily were actually aware of the facts Angelica pointed out, as were other powerful magicians. Despite this, they still refused to abandon Albert.

Even in the eyes of Edward and others, Angelica was almost ruthless and unreasonable.

"You... you don't understand how much our father has done for us! The rumors are right, witches are cold-blooded creatures!"

"..."

Angelica stopped talking nonsense with Edward and others, and chose to support her point of view with actions.

Edward, Emily and others hastily responded to the battle, but the witch's expression seemed to be mocking their futility. In fact, this was indeed the case. No matter how they fought, the witch was an existence that they could not shake.

Temperance Sequence 1: Global Blockade.

Horologium Series 1: Sands of Time.

Just like when Angelica broke through the magician group before, Angelica seized the initiative with the absolute suppression of the high-level sequence. She raised her left hand towards Albert and controlled everything on the field in the static time.

"Greed, Sequence 7: Telekinesis."

A treasure box floated out of Emily's pocket. Telekinesis is a common telekinesis magic, which uses telekinesis to control an object to fly in a fixed direction. However, it is basically not practical in combat because it cannot act on living things, the movement speed is not very fast, and the strength is far from enough to make the opponent unable to resist.

But it is a different story in the realm of still time. What Angelica took out is called the Life Box, which is the true soul of the lich.

The body of a lich is only a representation. After transforming into a lich, the lich will put his soul in the phylactery, completely sealing it, and even they themselves have no right to open it. As long as the phylactery is still there, simply destroying the lich's body is useless, and the lich can be reborn again after a period of time.

Time stops, but Angelica cannot stay still for too long. If time stops for too long, the consumption of magic power will double at a terrifying rate, and even the witch's magic power will be gone.

From Edward and the others' perspective, in the blink of an eye, Albert's life box appeared in the witch's hand.

"That's father's...?!"

"How did it end up in the hands of a witch?!"

"stop--"

Angelica ended Albert's life calmly without any unnecessary nonsense.

"Chastity Sequence Three: Exile from Heaven."

Angelica's left hand holding the life box emitted dazzling holy light. Although the life box had a certain degree of protection, it was completely destroyed by Angelica in an instant when facing the holy light magic that restrained the undead.

Chastity's Sequence Three Heavenly Banishment is one of the Holy Light magics that specifically restrains undead creatures. Using it on oneself can purify the curse, while it will cause tons of damage to undead creatures.

The moment the life box was destroyed, the body of the lich Albert was enveloped by the blazing underworld fire, which was the proof that the lich's life was completely burned out.

"Father!"

"Father……"

The children adopted by the lich Albert surrounded Albert. They tried desperately to save Albert, but everything they did was in vain.

However, the lich Albert was not as panicked as his children. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"There's no need to be sad or upset about my death. Go and pursue your own happiness. It's time for my life to end. What I want to tell you is that it's you who made my life as a lich full of color."

Edward and the others were all choked with sobs. They swore to protect Albert, but they didn't expect it to end like this.

"I have no regrets in my life... Thank you, children, I will always love you, and I hope you can continue to live with love..."

After saying this, the body of the lich Albert was completely burned up, leaving no ashes behind. Edward and the others burst into tears.

Albert's last words hoped that they would not have any hatred, but some people still shouted the witch's name with hoarse voices. However, the witch seemed to have no interest in this final tragedy. After killing Albert, she left without looking back.

The magicians were convinced that the witch was a cold-blooded creature without emotions. Perhaps for her, the friendship from hundreds of years ago was still something she could discard at any time.

……

"Albert, you don't have much time."

"I know. So I'm glad you came to visit me at the last moment. The lich doesn't have the ability to commit suicide, and my children don't have the courage to do it... You're the only one I can ask for help."

"Really? Well, I came to visit you specifically for this purpose. I turned you into a lich, so I know your limits. But I didn't expect you to adopt so many children in the past few decades."

"My phylactery has always been kept by them. If you want to kill me, you have to take it back from them. Now, the phylactery should be with Emily."

"Huh? So you're worried that I can't beat them?"

"You did this to fulfill my wish... but they might hold a grudge against you. They are all good and sensible children, but they are a little paranoid about this matter..."

"Well, it doesn't matter. The witch has been surrounded by countless rumors, and this one is no exception."

They probably think that witches are cold-blooded creatures who have lost their emotions.

But for the witch, it's just a matter of getting used to seeing off old friends - whether it's occasionally learning about the passing of an old friend, or seeing them off personally.

90 [Witch and Princess Knight]

There is such a group of races.

They live in groups and like to live underground, which gives them a natural advantage in mining and developing underground space.

They are hardworking and are content with food and shelter. They also like to contribute their strength to humans. Unfortunately, their intelligence is not outstanding and they are often harmed by human profiteers.

Not only that, they are often stigmatized and wrongly accused among humans. They are——

"So what did we do wrong?"

"Who knows... Witch, do I really look like a bad guy?"

At the Dokum Mine, a group of short green-skinned people were complaining to the witch lady sitting on the stone about the injustice they had suffered.

They are a common race on the continent, creatures famous for their numbers: goblins.

Angelica accidentally entered the jurisdiction of the Dokum Mine during her travels. She was not surprised to find that the Dokum Mine was full of goblins. The goblins in this world have a strong ability to adapt to harsh environments and have a certain vision in the dark, so many human mines will hire goblins to work as miners.

However, goblins are generally not very intelligent. You can fool them as long as you lie without blushing. For this reason, there are often goblins who work as miners their entire lives without realizing that they have been deceived.

Back to the point, the point is that when they noticed Angelica, they actually screamed.

"woman!"

"Oh my god! It's a human woman!"

"She's willing to get close to us!"

"Is there any hope?"

Angelica was immediately surrounded by excited goblins and was invited to the Dokum Mine as a VIP.

"...I roughly understand what you mean. You mean, recently, the women in the nearby towns have been looking at you strangely?"

"Yes, we went to the town to find out what was going on, but the guards thought we were invaders who came to abduct women and chased us away."

"It's been about two or three months, right? In the past month, women have been avoiding our mine. I really don't understand."

"In the past few days, there has been a female knight who keeps saying that she wants to attack us. She has disturbed our sleep at night."

The goblins complained to Angelica one after another, saying that they were completely helpless and had no idea where to start.

It was rare for someone to be willing to approach the Dokum Mine, especially a woman. Although the goblins were stupid, they probably knew that this was the only way to find out what was going on.

"I see... So, you didn't try to communicate with that female knight?"

"Yes, but we don't understand what she said..."

"She is coming!"

The goblin on guard duty reported back in due time that, in recent times, apart from Angelica who accidentally broke in today, this lady knight was basically the only one willing to approach.

Although the civilization of the human world is generally close to that of the Middle Ages, it is ultimately a world of swords and magic, and the status of women is still not high. People with magical qualifications are a different matter. Therefore, female knights, which were impossible to appear in the Middle Ages, may still exist.

Since women are naturally weak in power, female knights who are able to wear armor and fight in battle all serve as magicians. It can be said that the position of female knight is naturally strong.

"I'm here for revenge, you damned goblins! I'll pay you back a hundred and a thousand times for the humiliation you inflicted on me before!"

"Please forgive me! I really don't know what I did wrong!"

"Hurry up and release the woman you captured into the mine!"

"I've already said that we haven't arrested any women—"

Outside the Dokum Mine, a blonde girl was chasing after a goblin sentry who was unable to retreat in time. She was wearing heavy armor that did not match her delicate body, but the design of the armor made people doubt whether it could really provide protection, because some places covering her skin were not steel plates but black stockings.

The girl knight held a slender silver sword in her hand, and her movement speed was no less than that of the goblin who only had a cloth wrapped around his waist. However, just as she was about to approach the goblin sentinel, a stream of water hit her face squarely.

“Uwaa ...

The girl knight who was hit by the water fell to the ground with a flushed face. Although there was no damage to her armor, she seemed to have suffered a serious blow. She struggled for several times but couldn't stand up.

"Gu... Kill me... I will never let you..."

"Ahem, Miss Princess Knight?"

The knight lady who was talking to herself suddenly realized that the people who appeared in front of her were not goblins with evil smiles, but a strange magician girl holding a broom.

"Just now I used a Sequence 8 Water Stream Impact, you know? At best, it was an attack like a child playing a water fight. It should have no effect on you at all."

"You, you were...captured by the goblins...?"

"As a beautiful and talented magician, I will never fall into the hands of a goblin."

Angelica squatted down and patted the princess knight's shoulder earnestly.

"Ms. Princess Knight, please listen carefully to the facts I am about to tell you."

"Hoohoo... so close... you smell so good..."

"How did you get chosen to become a princess knight? Listen to me! Goblins will not capture humans to reproduce."

Seeing Miss Princess Knight's attitude, Angelica immediately understood what was going on.

In a sense, goblins are victims of orcs like elves. Since when, there is a rumor among female knights: Don't be caught by goblins, otherwise there will be a more tragic end than death.

Rumor has it that there are no female goblins, and that the way they expand their race is to capture human women, because there is no isolation between them and human women, and human women are not willing to marry goblins, so goblins will use traps, stun clubs and other despicable acts to attack human women, and then bring the captured human women to the village.

But for some unknown reason, some of the female knights not only did not take a detour when they saw the goblins, but instead volunteered to attack the goblin camp. And they all chose to go alone, which was very dangerous - just like the blonde female knight in front of Angelica.

"Eh...? No?"

"of course not."

"But, but there are only male goblins, right? How do they reproduce?"

"It's complicated to explain, but your idea of ​​capturing human women is completely wrong. Goblins have no interest in human women."
