Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

The doctor at Stavron Infirmary recalls events from the recent past.

"Mrs. Delais, who abused Miss Undine, died tragically on the day she was sentenced to prison. The court announced that it was suicide, but we doctors performed the autopsy at the time, so I know the details."

The doctor moistened his throat with warm water from the cup and recalled the strange autopsy experience.

He hasn't performed many autopsies, but the doctor dared to say that he probably won't have such a bizarre experience again.

"Don't be scared when I tell you this. Mrs. Delais' neck, arms, and legs... were twisted by an unknown force. It is said that some people's heads can rotate 180 degrees and face backwards, but the cause of Mrs. Delais' death was that her neck rotated 360 degrees, a complete rotation, and she was still facing forward."

The same is true for the two arms and legs, starting from the joints connected to the torso, rotating 360 degrees. It is obvious that this requires terrifying strength to achieve. The strange thing is that Mrs. Delais's twisting seems to be done at the same time. Could it be that five people with the same strength sneaked into the prison and killed Mrs. Delais?

"The prison didn't find any suspects. People said it was Miss Undine's ghost who came to seek revenge. But at that time, Miss Undine was still alive."

"Really? She's still as gentle as ever."

"W-Warm...?"

The doctor disagreed. Rotating the neck 360 degrees was the opposite of gentleness and would definitely be a painful way to die.

From what she said, she seemed to know who the murderer was.

But the doctor did not have the courage to ask. For some reason, the girl sitting in front of him gave him an inexplicable sense of oppression.

This was really strange. The girl was not a burly, strong and sturdy woman. On the contrary, she reminded the doctor of the two girls who brought Undine to the clinic. One of them was in a white dress and was also extremely beautiful.

The girl in the white dress changed into an inconspicuous magic robe the next day, covered her head with a wizard hat, and dressed up as an ordinary magician.

However, the girl in front of her was different.

The girl's hair color was pure black like ink before, but hers was deep red like the blazing sun.

Even the red-haired girl herself exudes a scorching temperature that keeps people away from her. If a mortal were to touch the flame, the consequence would be nothing more than severe burns.

"I should continue my journey."

"Eh? Didn't you say you wanted to inquire about someone? Who exactly?"

“I’m just interested in what she did along the way.”

she?

Is it really the magician girl? What is the relationship between them?

The doctor at the infirmary was left with only countless doubts, but he ultimately had no means of informing the magician girl, as she and her knight friend had left Stavren for some time.

I hope they are friendly friends...

……

Undine's condition showed no signs of improvement.

This situation was inevitable. The doctors' diagnosis was very accurate. Due to being in harsh environment for a long time, Wendy's internal organs were severely damaged. The doctors wanted to try to provide nutrition to Wendy, but her stomach seemed to have no ability to digest the food.

Undine's mental problems also troubled everyone. She would go crazy at night, as if the darkness of the night made her recall bad memories. Sometimes even sleeping became a problem for her. She couldn't rest smoothly, and the doctor needed to use magic to calm Undine's mind - central nervous system inhibition was Sequence Nine magic, and there were many doctors who could use it.

Despite Victoria and the doctors' careful care, Undine's life continued to decline. Her respiratory and digestive systems were irreparably damaged, beyond the limits of what the doctors could do.

At least we let her see the sun again in the end. Angelica comforted the sad Victoria.

Towards the end of her life, Undine's recurring fits of madness miraculously improved.

Undine would be quiet when the doctors and Victoria and Angelica came to her bedside.

Sometimes, she would try hard to smile.

Just like Miss Undine before.

This is how a doctor who has lived in Stavren for twelve years described her. He had seen Undine, who was once the pearl of Stavren.

At that time, Miss Undine was a very kind lady to outsiders.

Undine's spirit has not recovered, but it seems that she can tell who is good to her.

Everyone tacitly did not mention anything about the Drais family to her, including the news of Mrs. Drais's death. Was it because they did not want to further stimulate Undine's fragile and unstable spirit? Perhaps this was the reason.

But more importantly, they hope that Undine can be surrounded by pure warmth during the last period of her life.

Even those who stayed with Wendy were neither her family nor her lover.

What was it like for Undine during the last period of her life?

Even the witch couldn't give an accurate answer. What was clear was that in the last few days of her life, Undine was able to sleep normally, eat food that she could barely digest, and live the life she was supposed to live. But she lost this normal life for twelve years.

Undine died peacefully on a sunny morning, holding Victoria's hand and lip-syncing to the witches and doctors.

Thank you.

After saying this, she fell into a deep sleep and never woke up again.

Angelica and Victoria found the grave of the bard Lawrence, and together with the doctors built Undine's grave next to Lawrence's.

This time, no one could separate them.

A foreign traveler who heard about this went to Stavron and visited the graves of the two men.

There is nothing special about the graves, but many people have mentioned an interesting phenomenon: sometimes pairs of birds will land near the graves of two people, and when they detect any movement, they will also leave in pairs.

The birds flew towards the vast clear sky, and there were no longer any cages on earth to constrain them.

【Witch TIPS】

Undine, which comes from the water spirit, is said to have immortal life, but when Undine falls in love with a mortal, she will lose her eternal life and gradually grow old.

106 [Witch and Wizard Hat]

There are many troubles that are often encountered during travel.

For example, there are no cute girls in the bathhouse in a big town, or there is a stingy boss who is unwilling to give a beautiful girl even a 10% discount, and so on.

But for most travelers, the worst-case scenario is encountering an emergency in the middle of nowhere, such as a bandit blocking the road or a sudden change in weather.

"Why is it raining suddenly?"

"Is it bad to rain? I really like the atmosphere of rain."

Walking on the slightly muddy road, Angelica and Victoria were not wet by the downpour. For people who were proficient in magic, the sudden change in weather was not a problem at all.

Umbrellas were a very rare item in this era, not to mention being an everyday necessity.

Crater Sequence Eight: Wind Barrier, a magic specifically designed to deal with severe weather. This magic will create a crystal cube that covers the user, blocking rain, snow, strong winds and other weather conditions. The crystal cube will move with the user and can maintain a certain temperature to ensure that the user will not freeze to death.

"When I lived alone, I liked the drizzling weather. I thought it was very pleasant to read a book and drink coffee while the rain was hitting the house. I really miss it... I should go home right now."

“That’s too casual!”

Victoria hurriedly stopped Angelica. Angelica was quite casual during the trip. When she was tired, she would either stick to Victoria and ask her to carry her on her back, or she would cast space-folding magic on the spot to jump directly to another town. If Angelica was not stopped, she would really run away.

There was a flaw in the Wind Breath Barrier magic: it didn't provide adequate protection for the shoes. Angelica accidentally stepped into a puddle, and the mud and water instantly splashed onto the edge of her magic robe.

"Wow...my clothes...my boots are soaked with water...if Shiro sees this, he'll be so happy that he'll take my boots away..."

"White? You mean the White Witch?"

"Yeah. What's wrong?"

"I'm a little curious about the relationship between the Beyonders who have obtained eternal life. Do you know each other?"

In Stavron, Victoria fully realized that the concepts of the Extraordinary people with long life spans were different from those of ordinary people. After calming down, Victoria tentatively understood that Angelica lacked enthusiasm, not true cold-bloodedness. This also aroused Victoria's curiosity about Extraordinary people, including those other than Angelica.

“Yes, but half of them regret knowing me.”

"Eh? Is your relationship not good?"

"People who get eternal life tend to have strange personalities. Let me think... let me tell you about Dorothea."

Victoria blinked.

"Dorothea...who is it?"

Most of the witch names circulating in the world are titles, and their real names are not as famous as their titles. This may be related to the rumor that knowing a witch's real name will bring a curse. But in fact, no witch's name has ever brought cursed magic. It is just a misunderstanding of people who don't understand witches.

"The Red Witch. Before she became a witch, she was an astrologer who liked to use astrology to predict the future. Dorothea was a person who yearned for passionate love, but after becoming a witch, her love became distorted. Although the methods vary greatly, the Beyonders are immortal after all. But Dorothea still longs for love with mortals. She will use astrology to predict her lover, travel thousands of miles to find her lover... and then kill him."

"Why, why?"

"No matter what race her lover is, he will die of old age. Dorothea cannot tolerate this. Rather than letting Hades take her lover's life, she would rather freeze her lover's life at the most beautiful moment with her own hands."

"This... logic is very problematic...?"

"The logic of the Beyonders is flawed. I am one of the more normal ones."

Angelica did not deny Victoria's opinion. In Dorothea's concept, love at first sight is the most beautiful moment, which means that when Dorothea finds her lover, it is the moment of his death. To outsiders, Dorothea is completely crazy. Imagine this scene: the person you meet for the first time stabs you in the chest with a dagger, and tells you with tears that you can't hear at all at the moment.

Dorothea's logic seems to be completely broken, but unfortunately, there are only a handful of people who can stop her. When she gets over the grief of her last relationship, she will start a new one. Fortunately, Dorothea has a long cooling-off period after a breakup and there is only one unfortunate person each time, so the influence of the "Red" Witch is not that bad.

By the way, Dorothea's behavior seemed to be mistaken for an assassination for some reason, which gave birth to the earliest private fan club of the witch: magicians who worshipped the "Red" Witch formed a killer organization called "Assassin", but later its organization's action guidelines and goals were far from the "Red" Witch herself.

Victoria fully understood that the Beyonders were all freaks. In fact, it was enough for Angelica to claim that she was a normal person among them. Her personality was actually relatively normal. How outrageous must the others be...

"what……?"

Angelica and Victoria stopped at the same time.

The rain stopped.

But it didn't stop completely.

Angelica and Victoria chatted as they walked to a sunny area, but when they turned around, it was still raining in the world behind them.

Victoria looked up and found that the sky above was cloudless. A long time ago, people mistakenly believed that the sun would disappear when it rained. Later, a magician who learned levitation flew up to the clouds and realized that the sun still existed when it rained.

At this time, all the dark clouds gathered in another layer, leaving only the middle area. This could definitely not be a natural phenomenon.

"It's like a giant wind barrier."

Victoria complained as she closed her Wind Barrier. Isolating bad weather was exactly what the Wind Barrier magic did. But Victoria's ridicule was impossible to achieve. The magic formula of the Wind Barrier was a small-scale magic that could only cover one person. Otherwise, if one person learned it when it rained, the whole village would be safe.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Victoria's complaints seemed to have awakened Angelica's forgotten memories.

"A giant wind barrier... sounds familiar... I seem to have participated in constructing similar magic before."

"real or fake……"

"I may have been to this place before. There happens to be a village ahead. The people in the village should know something."

Angelica couldn't remember the name of the village, but she vaguely remembered that she didn't come to the village alone.

107 The Village That Invited the Witch

“Welcome to Farrar!”

"Oh, is that a magician? You came just in time!"

"We are holding a celebration and all magicians are welcome to attend. You can come too."

The people in the villages not affected by the heavy rain were very hospitable, especially when they saw Angelica's dress, they were even more welcoming, and many people hoped that Angelica would stay at their homes.

As the saying goes, no reward without merit, how could Angelica accept the kindness without any reason?

...Absolutely, easily.

"How can I do this? But seeing how enthusiastic everyone is, wouldn't it be a disappointment if I refuse? But I can only live in one of them, so why not let the others just give it to me. Eh? My fellow villager, you have two daughters at home, and your wife is also very beautiful, so I'll live... woo woo..."

Victoria rushed forward and covered Angelica's mouth. This girl was talking nonsense again. What if she scared the people in the village?

What Victoria worried about did not happen. The old village chief stroked his beard and laughed.

“What a lively young man.”

"Thank you for your kindness, village chief, but we can't accept the villagers' care for nothing. Is there anything we can do to help?"

"That's not the case. Young man, are you wondering why we should be so friendly to magicians?"

The village chief smiled, and Victoria felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that the villagers of Farrer Village were indeed acting out of pure kindness, which made Victoria seem a little suspicious.

But the village chief did not blame Victoria. He looked up at the cloudless sky.

"The climate in Farrar Village, where our ancestors have lived for generations, is harsh. It often rains for no reason, and is often invaded by Hippogriffs. A long time ago, a group of adventurers passed by Farrar Village. They heard about our difficult situation and volunteered to help us kill the Hippogriffs. The magicians in the adventure group built a barrier for us to block the wind and snow, so that we can live in good weather for generations. In order to repay the kindness of the former adventure group, Farrar Village holds a celebration every year to commemorate the adventure group. And..."

Village chief Farrar said with a kind look.
