Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

"You're under arrest."

"Huh? Why?"

"I'm sorry. We're going to present you to the hero."

"I'm sorry, but in order for the hero to defeat the dragon... we have to do this."

The guards took out the shackles. They were not following their own will, and Angelica could see that.

Now Angelica understood a little bit why the man in the carriage ran away with her daughter, and why he reminded Angelica not to go to the capital.

Although she understood, Angelica was not going to surrender. If she was to be put in handcuffs, at least she had to be a beautiful girl, Angelica, to obey.

"Sloth, Sequence 7: Light Sleep of the Mind."

Several guards were knocked unconscious by Angelica's magic. Considering that this was a capital city after all, there were still some magicians guarding the main gate, and they were not affected by Sequence Seven's magic.

There is really no way.

Angelica sighed, being cute is indeed a sin.

Just when a conflict was about to break out between Angelica and the magician guarding the gate, a voice suddenly stopped the magicians.

"stop!"

The visitor was a fully armed knight, whose armor was even more exquisite than Victoria's. It was made of magic crystal ore mined from the old site of the Yamauroti Kingdom, and was a rare sight in the world. Needless to say, a knight who could wear this magic crystal armor must have a very high status in the kingdom.

"Lord Oswald...we are..."

"She's my sister."

"I'm... I'm so sorry!"

Under Oswald's cover, the magicians did not continue to harass Angelica. They woke up the stunned guards and restored order at the main gate of the royal capital.

Oswald invited Angelica to the guard room and expressed his apologies to her.

"I don't remember having a brother?"

"Please forgive me and the guards for any offense. There have been some unpleasant changes in our kingdom, and they were just following the wrong orders."

The man named Oswald is the captain of the guard of the Kingdom of Brielle and also the strongest knight in the kingdom. His martial arts and magic skills are impeccable. He guards the capital and the kingdom. Oswald's loyalty to the kingdom is unquestionable. However, there are things that Oswald cannot do.

Three months ago, a dragon appeared on the border of the Kingdom of Brielle. Oswald was ordered to lead his army to fight the dragon, but he did not expect that the dragon was a poisonous dragon. Although Oswald himself could defend against the poison with the armor made of magic crystal ore and magic, the army did not have the corresponding qualifications.

Oswald found it difficult to kill the dragon alone, and the mission ended in failure.

The kingdom was at a loss... Fortunately, the dragon did not advance towards the capital, but pinning hope on the monster's rationality was not a solution after all. The king of the Kingdom of Brielle had to recruit brave men to fight the dragon together. Not long after, a man named Ganglong visited the Kingdom of Brielle. He possessed the famous Broken Steel Sword and was the descendant of the contemporary "Sword" brave.

Ganglong put forward a condition. He was willing to fight the dragon for the Kingdom of Brielle, but the Kingdom of Brielle had to pay him in advance.

The so-called reward was not just money. Ganglong demanded a lot of rights and spent his days in the palace, and the treasury was soon squandered by Ganglong. Ganglong also asked the Kingdom of Brielle to pay him tribute with beautiful women. Whenever he got tired of playing with them, he would kick them away and ask for new women to entertain him.

131 Fafnir the Dragon

"Eh... the descendant of the Sword Hero is this kind of person?"

Angelica was a little surprised. The two heroes she met before were both kind people. Who would have thought that the descendant of the "Sword" hero would be such a despicable person.

A little bit envious.

If Angelica was hired to defeat the dragon, she would definitely have to eat, drink and have fun, and enjoy the service of the beautiful girls in the kingdom. It would be even better if there was a princess in the kingdom.

However, Angelica thought that she was different from Ganglong in that she would do the right thing. According to Oswald, Ganglong had been enjoying himself in the capital for two months, but showed no sign of going to fight the dragon.

"The hero is asking for too much, but the dragon has not left the kingdom. We can only place our hopes on the hero. If I were stronger and could defeat the dragon alone, perhaps everything would be different. The kingdom would not be kidnapped by the outside heroes, and I would not lose Maria."

Oswald said bitterly that as the captain of the kingdom's guard, he had a very high sense of responsibility, and he felt that he was to blame for the situation because he could not defeat the dragon alone.

"Maria?"

"My childhood sweetheart, she was forcibly summoned by the hero to the palace as a maid. All I can do is to evacuate as many girls as possible who can escape from the capital to prevent them from being poisoned by the hero."

The girl's family who had previously escaped from the royal capital, and covering up Angelica's identity, were all remedies that Oswald could do to the best of his ability. He failed to protect his childhood sweetheart, but at least he had to protect other girls who might suffer the same fate.

The people in the capital are increasingly dissatisfied. Ganglong's daily life of drinking and partying has already emptied the national treasury. In order to please the brave man who can defeat the evil dragon, the guards of the capital are plundering the people's wealth every day, or forcibly abducting women. If this continues, riots will happen in the capital sooner or later.

"Slaying a dragon is not something that mortals can easily achieve. There is no need for you to force yourself."

Dragons are extremely rare creatures on the continent. Unlike swift dragons, they do not live in groups. Dragons have strong magic resistance, and some dragons have the habit of collecting shiny golden treasures, so they are often hostile to humans. Dragon-slaying heroes have become a widely circulated legend, but most dragons are powerful beings that can only be successfully conquered by forming a group.

"I can help you defeat the dragon."

"Thank you for your kindness... that dragon is not so easy to deal with."

"Hehe~ But what if I tell you that I'm a witch?"

“Witch…?!”

"You are the real Black Witch Angelica. To me, a dragon is just a slightly larger lizard. Of course, I will also charge you for it. Please prepare the most fragrant and soft beautiful girl in the Kingdom of Brielle for me."

"???"

What do you, a girl, want from a beautiful girl?

Oswald didn't understand it at all, but the current situation in the royal capital was indeed no longer profitable.

"By the way, what are the characteristics of the evil dragon you are talking about?"

"It is a giant dragon that exudes the stench of decay. Wherever it goes, no grass will grow."

"…Are you still easily irritated?"

"Indeed, thanks to this weakness, the bait tactic always succeeds and avoids a lot of losses."

"Will it burrow into the ground and cause earthquakes?"

"That's absolutely right. It's a big hindrance to us."

"Will you shout 'Anjie!'?"

"Of course...wait, this doesn't seem to be available."

Oswald was surprised that Angelica was so familiar with him. Could it be that the witch knew this dragon? Besides, no dragon would make such a strange cry, right?

After listening to Oswald's description, Angelica had already guessed the true identity of the evil dragon that was harassing the Kingdom of Brielle. A dragon's body emitting a foul odor was definitely not a natural ability of a dragon. There were indeed dragons in the world that could use toxins, but a dragon's body should be immune to its own toxins.

There is only one answer: this dragon is a man-made dragon.

It sounds a bit exaggerated. How terrifying is it to rely on human power to create a monster that can destroy a country? Unfortunately, Angelica happens to know such a person. Judging from this fact, she probably created this work when she was not terminally ill.

The "White" witch Coppelia is undoubtedly her masterpiece.

"The dragon you're talking about... should be called Fafnir. I have some connection with it."

"Now that we know this, I think it will be easier to defeat the evil dragon Fafnir..."

"That won't work. I can't defeat Fafnir myself."

"why?"

Oswald's rare spark of hope was extinguished by Angelica's cold water. He originally thought that the witch was not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the rumors said, and that there was finally a way to deal with the evil dragon that had been plaguing the kingdom. As a result, Angelica retracted her ambition to help defeat the dragon.

Angelica claimed that she wanted to defeat the dragon, but only 10% of her intention was out of kindness, and the other 10% was to test the descendants of the so-called "Sword" hero. Angelica felt that Okamura had been busy eating, drinking and having fun for two months, and had ignored the dragon at all, so there must be something fishy going on.

After all, Angelica thought that she would only act up for a week at most before setting out to fight the dragon. How could there be someone with less professional ethics than her?

The remaining 980% is for the beautiful girls in the Kingdom of Brielle. As long as Angelica saves the Kingdom of Brielle and becomes a hero, she can have many beautiful girls on her left and right.

But since it was Coppelia's work, Angelica could do nothing about it.

It's not a question of whether or not she can defeat him. Angelica is definitely stronger than the dragon Fafnir. The problem is that Coppelia will regard the artificial life she created as her offspring. The puppets made by Coppelia can be indistinguishable from the real thing, but no matter how exquisite it is, Coppelia cannot have fertility, so she will place her maternal love on the other lives she created.

This doesn't mean that Coppelia loves Fafnir that much. In fact, since Fafnir is here, it means that in Coppelia's eyes, Fafnir is already a child who can survive independently. However, if Angelica attacks him, Coppelia will definitely make a fuss about it and pester Angelica.

Angelica still remembered the last time she killed the giant dragon created by Coppelia. She softened her heart for a moment because of Coppelia's crying and agreed to Coppelia's request... In short, Angelica was tortured badly. She lay in bed for more than a month before she recovered enough to get out of bed and walk. She didn't want to go through it again.

132 Broken Steel Sword

"Well, there are various reasons. Anyway, have you ever doubted the hero? No matter how you look at it, eating, drinking and having fun for two months without doing any work is too abnormal. Is it possible that he is a fake hero?"

"Probably not. He has demonstrated his weapon before, and it can really cut through iron like mud. It is definitely the legendary sword that can break steel."

"I came to the Kingdom of Brielle precisely for the hero. Let me meet the hero. I think it will be very interesting."

Oswald protected Angelica to ensure that she would not be targeted by the hero, but he did not expect that Angelica was actually a witch. Although Oswald was still a little worried, the current situation of the Kingdom of Brielle could not be worse.

"Okay... I'll arrange it."

……

That night.

The palace in the capital of Brielle was as brightly lit as ever. When Ganglong was enjoying himself, he would expel everyone else, even the king of the Brielle Kingdom.

"His Majesty."

Oswald came to the palace to pay his respects to the king, but the banquet hall of the palace had been occupied by Ganglong, and only the maids remained in the banquet hall to provide Ganglong with wine and meat. The king was driven out of the palace and could only lament outside.

The king of the Kingdom of Brielle is a kind-hearted king who loves his people like his own children. That is why he tolerates Ganglong again and again. Unfortunately, Ganglong becomes more and more tolerant of King Brielle and shows no sympathy at all.

"Oswald...at least keep the maids safe."

The old king looked haggard. He didn't know when Ganglong would go to fight the dragon. Now he could only comply with Ganglong's request and not let him go, otherwise everything would be over.

"Your Majesty, if I could defeat the dragon..."

"It's not your fault, Oswald."

The king wanted to say something else, but another guard came in a hurry, bringing the news that the citizens of the capital were protesting again. The king had to leave and go to the square to appease the citizens. He had not chosen to order Oswald to suppress the demonstration. However, as time went on, the public's dissatisfaction gradually increased, and sooner or later it would usher in a hysterical outbreak.

The root of everything is the brave hero Ganglong. The Kingdom of Brielle relies on him to defeat the evil dragon. Ganglong realizes this: he is irreplaceable, so he dares to make unreasonable demands unscrupulously.

Something had to change.

Oswald was in charge of guarding the palace. He ordered his men to guard the palace, and he lied that he was going on patrol. In fact, he quietly changed out of his magic crystal armor and sneaked into the palace lightly.

Oswald crawled into a secret passage leading to the ceiling. The witch was crawling on the ceiling of the banquet hall, observing everything that happened in the hall.

"You're here too."

"Come and see the situation."

"Come to think of it, there is actually a passage for assassins above the ceiling of the palace? What a strange design."

"It was not left for assassins. It was originally designed to secretly protect the king. I didn't expect it would come in handy at a time like this."

It was ridiculous that even the king himself was driven out of the palace.

"How? What did you observe?"

"That guy's skill in pleasing girls is not even as good as mine. It's so bad that I can't bear to watch it."

"Is that the point?"

"Why not? If it were me, I could make them become 'can't leave Angelica-sama~' in just one hour, but that guy can't do that."

Oswald glanced at the banquet hall. Wasted fruits and drinks were spilled everywhere. The girls suppressed their disgust and served Ganglong, and were often brutally beaten by Ganglong.

Somewhere in the hall was a weapon that looked extraordinary just by looking at the hilt. It was the legendary Broken Steel Sword, which was stored in a scabbard that matched the Broken Steel Sword. Both the Broken Steel Sword and the scabbard were blessed by magic, and only a specific scabbard could store them.

"Regarding the Broken Steel Sword, I have observed it and it is indeed the real Broken Steel Sword. Ganglong is not a fake hero, he is undoubtedly the descendant of the "Sword" hero."

"Is that so... Then, we can only rely on him to slay the dragon."

"Hmm~ not necessarily. Mr. Oswald, you... Hey, Mr. Oswald is quite handsome."

Oswald, without his helmet, had surprisingly handsome features. He wasn't a pretty boy, but rather a handsome man. He was very different from the muscular man with a face full of flesh that Angelica had in mind.

"You think we have other ways to slay dragons?"

"Mr. Oswald, do you know how the sword hero is passed down?"

"I heard that it is passed down through the Broken Steel Sword... The Broken Steel Sword is bound to the soul of the holder, and the Broken Steel Sword can be summoned to his side no matter how far away he is."

Oswald had thought about killing Ganglong by force, but the Broken Steel Sword could be summoned by Ganglong at any time. In this way, the person who assassinated Ganglong would be at great risk of being killed by Ganglong, and it would be impossible to steal the sword.

"Yes, some weapons have souls and consciousness. By the way, I tried to turn my wand into a beautiful girl, but failed."

"Can we just get to the point?"
