Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

119 The Witch Lady's Ten Seconds Follower

The girl who was chased away by Victoria and kidnapped by the attendant returned to her parents in horror.

Several people had mixed emotions towards Victoria, and without even a word of thanks, they hurriedly retreated home with the injured girl.

Angelica roughly understood their feelings.

"They probably have a love-hate relationship with Miss Victoria."

"hatred?"

"I've met people like that before. Even though I saved them, they turned around and cursed me, saying that I was just a hypocrite and was only satisfying my vanity because they would be oppressed even more after I left."

“Is there still such a view?”

"Miss Victoria, do you think Zeno's men will have a change of heart after they leave? Of course not. They will indeed go all out to get back what they lost, but I'm not such a good-tempered person. Generally, I won't tolerate such accusations."

Being kind without changing the underlying reasons is indeed meaningless, but Angelica doesn't think this is a reason for kind people to be criticized by everyone.

The situation in Alkmaar is similar. In order to save Alkmaar, the magician Zeno must be defeated.

Victoria sincerely apologized to Angelica.

"I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

"Eh?"

"I didn't drive them away just to annoy them and draw Zeno here."

Victoria explained that she was apologizing for her impulsiveness. If Zeno really came to her, it would seem like Victoria was deliberately plotting to provoke Zeno to create a conflict with Angelica.

The only thing Victoria didn't want was to be misunderstood by Angelica, who thought she was a scheming woman.

"Well, it's okay. I know Miss Victoria didn't mean it."

Angelica waved her hand. Victoria couldn't possibly come up with such a sophisticated plan in such a short time. She wasn't that smart.

"But it would be reasonable for me to receive some compensation for dealing with that magician named Zeno."

Angelica poked her cheek.

Victoria panicked instantly when she realized what Angelica was hinting at.

"Everyone is watching!"

Although the villagers of Alkmaar rejected magicians and kept them out, many villagers were watching Angelica and Victoria's movements through the cracks in the doors or windows.

How can you do such blatant blasphemy in broad daylight...

"What does it matter? If our roles were reversed, I wouldn't hesitate at all."

"You...you bully people..."

The villagers who were watching were all amazed. She was indeed a witch. She could do things that they could not do with ease. Her words could make the tall and strong knight Ji suffer humiliation.

They wouldn't be surprised even if Victoria said "Gu, kill me" next.

In order to save the residents of Alkmaar, Victoria forced herself to suppress the excitement and excitement in her heart, and carved her own mark on Angelica's fair cheek like a dragonfly touching the water.

Angelica was as happy as a child who got candy, completely changing her previous depressed attitude.

"Let me make it clear first, I'm not here for Alkmaar. I decided to come here because of Miss Victoria's kiss."

“Wuwu… God, please forgive me for my sins…”

"God? That's right!"

Angelica clapped her hands, then poked her other cheek.

"……What's the meaning?"

"If someone hits you on the right cheek, turn the left cheek as well. According to the teachings of Miss Victoria's faith, you should also give him a mua on the other side."

"But you are not a religious person?"

"If there's any benefit, it's okay to believe it for five minutes. Come on, come on~"

"enough--"

Unfortunately, on this day, the most negatively influential religion in the human world lost a devout (for about ten seconds) believer.

But in short, Angelica promised Victoria to deal with the magician Zeno, and she would not break her promise. Encouraged by Victoria's sweet kiss, Angelica was full of energy and waited from day to sunset.

—Zeno didn’t come.

He abandoned the witch.

"so boring."

Angelica was so bored that she was actually sweeping fallen leaves with a broom for fun. The servants who were driven away by Victoria had clearly made some harsh remarks, and Angelica thought they were going to find the magician Zeno to help them out, but she waited for a whole day and didn't see anyone.

With such a skillful technique of standing up, could it be that Zeno was a novelist before?

"Strange, could it be that the magician Zeno recognized your identity?"

"I don't recall ever knowing anyone named Zeno. My attire causes more trouble than scaring off enemies."

Angelica's costume gave people the impression of a witch, but most magicians didn't believe it. There were only a few witches in the world, so how could they be so easy to meet? Therefore, it was easy to scare away ordinary people with a magician's appearance, but it was almost impossible to scare away magicians with a witch's outfit.

"But I'm not surprised that Zeno didn't come. Miss Victoria, you told me that the hotel owner said they haven't seen Zeno for a long time?"

"Well... it's like this..."

The hotel owner said that since Zeno drove out the tyrannical nobles, he entered the castle and became the new ruler. Since then, Zeno has been living a life of debauchery in the castle every day, and sent his attendants and men out to collect financial affairs.

Angelica's mouth curled up slightly.

"It seems like the reason behind this will be very interesting. Come on, Miss Victoria, since Zeno is not coming, let's pay a visit in person."

Angelica and Victoria went to the castle gate, which was tightly closed. No matter how Victoria called out, they remained unmoved. Thinking of the aggressive attitude of the attendants during the day, who relied on their backers, and the sharp contrast with the cowardly behavior now, Victoria suddenly thought, could it be that Zeno had actually left?

The attendants continued to rule under the name of Zeno, relying on the power of a non-existent Sequence 2 magician?

Victoria was immediately enraged. Thinking that there might not be any magicians in the castle, Victoria plucked up her courage and used levitation to fly into the sky. A magician without cover in the sky could easily be used as a target, but there was no magic in the castle to intercept Victoria's flying out to attack her.

As Victoria descended deeper into the castle, the moment she landed, the castle was brightly lit, led by the attendants who were so arrogant during the day.

"You actually chose to walk into a trap yourself, saving us from wasting time looking for you."

"Stop bragging. I don't think you have any Sequence 2 magicians here, right?"

"Really? That's not necessarily the case."

After the attendant finished speaking, he turned around respectfully and reported to the distinguished person behind him.

"Sir, the robber who was harassing the people in Alkmaar was the man who broke into the castle!"

120 Snake Biting Its Tail

Soon after, a man divided the servants into two groups and came to Victoria. He must be the Sequence 2 magician Zeno who was said to have driven out the former nobles of Alkmaar.

However, Zeno's appearance was not noble. He was thin and a little listless, which was far from the tyrant who ate delicacies all day long in Alkmaar's mouth. Zeno's dress was extremely simple, a plain black robe without any jewelry on his body, just like the dress of a poor ascetic monk.

Zeno's eyes, which were heavily rimmed with dark circles, revealed confusion, and he looked at Victoria with some uncertainty.

"Is it her?"

"That's right! My lord, she is a bandit who destroys the peace of Alkmaar. Please use your strength to defeat her."

Rather than slandering Zeno, Victoria felt that there was something wrong with his mental state, like a puppet without independent consciousness. But wasn't that even more ridiculous? How could a Sequence 2 magician be so easily controlled?

——Anyway, it’s an opportunity.

Victoria seized the opportunity and knocked Zeno down while his mind was still unstable. The remaining servants were not worth mentioning at all.

With the help of magic, Victoria's body crashed into Zeno like a cannonball. After the deafening noise, Zeno and even the servants behind him were not injured, but Victoria was knocked back a few steps in embarrassment.

The transparent barrier stopped Victoria. Although Zeno looked a little confused, his fighting ability was not affected at all.

Then, Victoria's failed first move seemed to convince Zeno that she was an enemy, and his expression turned serious.

"Robber? I won't let you destroy this place."

"Wait a minute! Magician Zeno! Answer me a question first. What is the purpose of doing this?"

"Purpose?"

"You first saved Alkmaar, but then you continued to rule and oppress them. But I can't feel even a little happiness from you. Magician Zeno, what is the reason that supports you to do this?"

Victoria found it hard to believe that a Sequence 2 magician could be controlled like a puppet. Zeno's own will must be involved.

“…to be expected.”

Zeno did not refuse to respond to Victoria, he told Victoria the answer without any emotion.

"A lot of people are expecting me to do this, and I think it can't be wrong."

This is Zeno's principle.

Zeno felt no joy in saving the people of Alkmaar or in oppressing them. He went to defeat the tyrannical nobles simply because the people of Alkmaar expected and placed their hopes on him. So Zeno thought he should do it.

Including oppression in reverse, it was actually not Zeno's subjective will at all.

The attendants around Zeno seemed to find that Zeno was easy to control, so they slandered him and asked him to stay in the castle, saying that doing so was to protect Alkmaar. As the attendants expected him to do so, Zeno did as he was told, and was completely unaware of the attendants' hypocrisy.

No wonder Zeno was nowhere to be seen during the day. The attendants and others were afraid that once Zeno arrived in the village of Alkmaar, he would discover what they had done without telling Zeno.

"——I see. I now roughly understand who you are, Zeno."

Angelica's voice floated from the sky. She was sitting on a horizontal broom, overlooking everything below.

"King Sequence Five. Imperial Order. Everyone, stand aside."

"Yes."

Angelica instantly controlled the smug attendants who were standing behind Zeno. Although it was Sequence 5 magic, Zeno could easily dodge it.

Not only that, Zeno also has the ability to interrupt the control effect of the Emperor's Command Magic. However, before Zeno does this, Angelica's words make him stop.

"Zeno, if my guess is correct, you probably can't remember who you are?"

"..."

"You know your name and that you have learned a lot of powerful magic, but you probably have no idea where you came from or what you are supposed to do. But I don't think you are a bad person by nature, otherwise you wouldn't have the idea of ​​responding to expectations."

Because he doesn't remember what he is supposed to do, Zeno chooses to respond to all expectations unconditionally. As for whether this expectation is good or evil, Zeno will not and cannot judge.

"I really don't have any memories from before, and I can't remember who I was... Could it be that you knew me before I lost my memories?"

"I don't know you. But I can infer that you are under the influence of the magic of "Personality Beginning"."

"Personality Beginning? Is there such a magic?"

Victoria responded with doubt. She had never heard of the magic called personality initialization in her memory.

Angelica used the levitation technique to land on the ground and explained leisurely.

"'Personality Beginning' is a kind of inherent magic. It destroys a person's memory through complicated and cumbersome magic formulas, thereby achieving the purpose of initializing the person's memory. The memory of the person affected by 'Personality Beginning' is not lost but completely damaged. Even if I use the magic of the Life Corridor to sneak into Zeno's dream, I can't know what happened to Zeno in the past."

Having said that, Angelica still found a way to confirm Zeno's identity. She came to Zeno, and Zeno, who was confused, did not resist. After all, the attendants' expectations from the beginning did not include knocking down Angelica, and Zeno had no reason to be hostile to Angelica.

Angelica asked Zeno with a bright smile.

"Would it be convenient for you to take off your clothes?"

"Angelica, this request is too much..."

"it is good."

"Will you agree to it no matter what your expectations are?!"

Angelica asked Zeno to take off his clothes not for any special fetish. By the way, if it was a man, she would appreciate the body shape of a hot dog man. Zeno was too thin and looked malnourished. Considering that Zeno unconditionally promised others' expectations, he should not make much money, so there was no question of supplementing nutrition.

Soon, Angelica found the result she wanted just below Zeno's neck and showed the mark to Victoria.

"what is this?"

Zeno shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe a birthmark?"

"There is no such birthmark. This is a mark engraved by magic."
