Unfortunately, the president of the Chamber of Commerce is not a talented magician.

"Kilmalek's enchantment ritual is extremely complex. The magicians I recruited all shook their heads and said that they could not make improvements. However, your magical talent... according to my servants, they are not even a fraction of yours."

"So you mean to say that you hope I can help you preserve the enchantment of the glasses and bring them out of Kilmalek?"

"Not only that... the goblins don't realize how much value these enchanted glasses can create. It is a huge fortune. The goblins guard an endless treasury, but they never know how to make progress. Grand Mage, just imagine how much wealth it can bring us if we improve this enchantment and sell it by renting it out over time."

It is human nature to feel unhappy when one's secrets are exposed, but at the same time one is interested in the secrets of others. The president of the Chamber of Commerce believes that if the enchanted glasses can be rented out instead of being given away permanently to everyone, even tourists, as the silly goblins do, it will be enough to bring him huge profits.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce hopes to change the enchantment to be effective for a limited time, or to rent out servants who are loyal to him and have glasses with strange enchantments, so that his servants can help him do things and make money.

199 Miss Witch and Racial Differences

To give a simple example, if a man suspects that his wife is having an affair with someone else but is unable to confirm it, the Chamber of Commerce can send out professionals. The president happens to have glasses that can identify the number of times each person has had sex with the opposite sex. In this way, as long as the man deliberately does not have sex with his wife and the observed value jumps, it can help the client prove that his wife has indeed cheated.

For example, if two business partners suspect that the other party has embezzled part of the property, the Chamber of Commerce will send out employees to prescribe the right remedy. The president has talents under him who can use glasses to quantify all the property.

Just as the president of the Chamber of Commerce said, these glasses that can quantify everything are of great use. The president really feels sorry for the goblins who have been guarding such a precious property for hundreds of years without any desire to make progress.

The blueprint he conceived will undoubtedly bring huge wealth, but whether his subordinates have other intentions will shake the foundation of the Chamber of Commerce.

Fortunately, the president has glasses that can measure the value of people. He can tell who will betray and who is a loyal servant at a glance through the glasses.

"The problem that bothers me is that I can't find the enchantment magic formula that can change Kilmalek. If you can help me complete the transformation, I am willing to share the profits with you."

"It would bring in a very lucrative income...but I refuse."

"...Can I ask why? I haven't told you the exact share yet."

"If I mess with that magic formula, I'll get into trouble and have a headache so bad that I won't be able to sleep."

Angelica gave the answer. She didn't want to be forced by Coppelia to do this and that all day long.

"But the president himself wasn't that surprised when I rejected him."

"Because the value you can bring me as measured by my glasses is not as high as I imagined. If this deal can be successful, I believe the value will be an exaggerated number."

The president of the Chamber of Commerce was heartbroken, but he still tried to persuade Angelica with a try-it-out mentality, and the negotiation ended in less than ten minutes. There was no need to continue lobbying, as the president knew very well that the numbers shown by his glasses would not lie, but he could not let go of this rare opportunity.

"But we can talk about other things."

"please say."

The president quickly returned to his businessman's tone. For someone who had no value, the profit-seeking president of the Chamber of Commerce would not waste even a minute of his time. He still spoke to Angelica calmly because Angelica's value was not zero.

Although the negotiations broke down on the modification of Kilmalek's glasses, it did not prevent them from continuing to cooperate in other businesses. A smart businessman would not act on impulse, and it was not worth becoming a mortal enemy with a powerful magician.

Of course, if the president knew that Kilmalek's magic formula was created by a witch, he might choose to go all out. However, it is difficult for people with mediocre magical talents to have a clear understanding of the complexity of the magic formula modified by Coppelia herself.

Angelica took out a small bottle from the storage space that was overloaded with magic and placed it in front of the president.

"This is?"

"Dragon scales."

The president's eyes suddenly lit up. He himself had no use for the dragon scales, but they were precious items among magicians. Whether used to make potions or alchemical materials, they were rare and priceless items.

"I want to use it to make a deal with you... I want to exchange some information. There is a legend that seven heroes worked together to repel the God of the Underworld. Do you know the information about their descendants on the Fairy Island?"

"Descendants of the brave? I don't usually pay attention to these things, but I think I can find valuable information. Give me some time, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."

It is said that there were no fairies among the seven heroes who conquered the God of the Underworld, so rumors about the descendants of the heroes are very rare on Fairy Island. However, rarity also means that there is no confusing information. Fairies will not lie, and most of the information that is circulated is true.

Angelica and the Guild President agreed on a time to meet again. By the time they were about to leave Kilmalek, the Guild President should be able to get the information about the descendants of the heroes.

Angelica handed over the task of collecting intelligence on the descendants of the heroes to the local tyrants, and left the Chamber of Commerce with Anna in a relaxed manner. The president of the Chamber of Commerce was even generous enough to help Angelica pay for her expenses in Kilmalek. He knew that as long as they could get the dragon scales, this amount of money would be nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

Although Angelica was a spendthrift, the fairies did not have the habit of extravagance, so Kilmalek actually had no spending methods worthy of Angelica's tricking the Chamber of Commerce president into tears.

"Master, dragon scales are extremely valuable materials. Isn't it a bit of a waste to use them to exchange for information about the descendants of the brave?"

Anna, who was following behind Angelica, spoke slowly. She was not questioning her master's decision, but just thought she could help her master save some money.

"It's true that dragon scales are valuable materials, but anything that has a stable channel to obtain them is not so valuable. The dragon scales I provided to the president are just my old friends that will shed after a period of time, just like humans occasionally lose their hair."

"This is the first time Anna knows that dragons shed their scales every once in a while."

"No one has the opportunity to observe the ecology of dragons up close. It just so happens that my old friend lives on the Elf Island. I'll go see her on the way and pick some."

"..."

Anna made no comment on Angelica's self-righteousness.

Leaving the headquarters of the underground chamber of commerce, the fairies living in Kilmallock still wear glasses and live a carefree life. They cannot see the sun, but their days are full of laughter.

"There is no difference between human and fairy glasses... but there is a clear disagreement between the two sides in how to use them."

"Do you care? So Anna, which side do you think is better?"

"Humans focus on seeking benefits for themselves, but fairies don't have such thoughts. Perhaps the latter live more freely."

"Yes, fairies are a happy and kind race, so the Fairy Island where they live is called Paradise and Wonderland."

The same magic props are used in completely different ways in the hands of humans and fairies. Fairies are innocent and naive, while humans' usage is simply ugly in comparison. Anyone would think that humans' usage is too unreasonable.

The witch stopped and spoke seriously to her maid.

"But fairies have a fatal flaw... they are a race that cannot progress."

【Witch TIPS】

Dragons do not usually engage in anthropomorphism, for they do not regard the form of small humans as beautiful.

There are exceptions, such as when Angelica impulsively transformed a dragon into a subhuman, which was protested by her colleagues in the adventure group at the time.

"Change back! We want a dragon!"

"You're so beautiful in dragon form, but so plain as a human girl!"

"Eh--"

200 The Witch Lady's Tragic Shura Field

"The nature of fairies is kind, and they are easily satisfied. When they have enough food and clothing and no worries about survival, the technology of fairies will completely stagnate. At most, they will study how to make the food more delicious. Fairies do not have the idea of ​​preparing for danger in times of peace and planning for the future. They are a race that only lives in the present."

Compared with fairies, humans are indeed more simple, but we should not only focus on superficial phenomena.

"Just like the magical secret society Golden Dawn, they long to create a perpetual motion machine that never stops turning, trying to create an infinite source of magic power. That is an unrealistic dream, but only humans would dream of this kind, and fairies would never even think about it."

"Is that so...the fairies all think that humans are powerful, but it's also because their nature won't encourage progress?"

"Yes, so they like to imitate other races. There are humans in the port city of Tralee, so Tralee is much more developed than a city with only goblins. If humans still maintain slavery, maybe goblins will still imitate it."

Human history has evolved from slavery to the current feudal system. However, if the fairies are not impacted by foreign cultures, they will always remain in the most primitive tribal system.

In fact, the main gathering places of the fairies at present are still extremely primitive settlements, where they just huddle together for warmth.

Human desires may indeed lead them to kill each other, but strife can also bring progress.

After understanding this, Anna seemed to understand why her master did not choose to correct the human in Kilmalek. Perhaps in her master's view, humans and fairies had their own understandings of the enchanted glasses, and it was impossible to simply judge who was right and who was wrong based on good and evil.

Kilmallock was built underground, and since there is no sunlight, there is no way to distinguish between day and night. However, the time scale used by the goblins is similar to that of humans. They set up clocks in the city of Kilmallock for visitors to adjust their schedules. The goblins will divide the residents who follow the day and night schedule into one area, and the residents who do not follow this schedule live in other areas. In this way, when night falls, one side is in darkness and the other side is brightly lit, and there is no conflict between the two sides.

The room arranged by the Chamber of Commerce president was naturally located on the side that followed the day and night schedule. Angelica and Coppelia did not agree on a time and place to meet again when they parted, but in fact, there was no need to do so, because Coppelia, the stalker, could find Angelica at any time anyway.

When Angelica and Anna found the inn, Coppelia, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly jumped out and stuck to Angelica's back.

“Shaha…Shaha…Replenish Ange’s energy. What a fool Ange is! She didn’t stay with me and went out to wander around by herself.”

"I can't help you much... Have you found any trace of the Golden Dawn?"

Coppelia didn't answer, but instead gave Angelica a chilling smile.

"Let me make it clear first, don't go too far."

"It's so sad. It makes me sound like I always go too far."

"When have you ever restrained yourself? If you don't trim your nails properly, I'm going to beat you up."

"Of course I trimmed it well this time~"

Coppelia smiled and showed Angelica her jade fingers, with her nails trimmed securely.

Rather than saying that the conversation between Angelica and Coppelia is like a riddle, it is better to say that Angelica really knows Coppelia. Even though she knows that Anna is very important to Angelica, Coppelia will use the clues about the Golden Dawn as a handle to force Angelica to compromise.

The room that the Chamber of Commerce provided for Angelica was of the most luxurious grade, with small beds specially configured for servants to rest, but in reality Angelica was basically not separated from Anna.

Except when this guy Coppelia is around.

"Wait."

After taking a shower in the hotel room, Angelica stopped Coppelia who was about to drive Anna away.

"Why do you always send Anna away? Anna is not an outsider."

"The cuteness of the maid lies in the frustration of hearing her master crying and begging for mercy from across the room, but feeling powerless. It is precisely because I treat Anna well that I ask her to stand guard outside the door."

"First of all, I won't cry or beg for mercy, and your understanding of maids is really weird."

Angelica was very unhappy, she didn't want Anna to feel like an outsider.

Perhaps it is necessary to sort out the relationship between Coppelia and Anna. There is no doubt that although they have been frank with each other, their relationship is not very hot. At least Coppelia is still wholeheartedly focused on Angelica, and Anna's attitude towards Coppelia is quite respectful.

Angelica thought that her charm was enough to make her the absolute focus of the threesome, but she also hoped that the relationship between Coppelia and Anna could get better, at least not be like it is now...to the level of strangers who know each other.

"Gobelle, what do you think of Anna?"

Angelica grabbed Coppelia's restless wrist and asked with a hint of seriousness.

"Anna? Um... a disobedient maid."

Coppelia obviously has a lot of complaints about Anna.

"I've clearly told you that Anjie and I are in a legal relationship, but she doesn't want to call me master!"

"Your so-called legal relationship is just a forged certificate... And I'm in the wife's position, so it should be the other way around."

"Because Anjie's cooking skills are much better than mine."

"Your cooking skills are hopelessly bad, okay?"

From the perspective of Anna, a bystander, her master is always in a delicate position of weakness when getting along with Coppelia, but this is normal because Angelica will not actively pursue Coppelia. On the contrary, when Angelica allows Coppelia to approach her, it is always when she has something to hold over her or needs something from her, and naturally she loses her momentum at all.

Regardless of what she was thinking in her heart, Anna would not give in to Coppelia's proposal, even though she had asked Coppelia for help and Coppelia had helped her master.

"I'm sorry, Lady Coppelia, but Anna will only call the person who has signed a contract with me Master."

"Look, Ange! She's basically a rebellious maid!"

"I think your idea is too absurd..."

Suddenly someone jumps out and says that your master and I are a perfect match, and you can also call me master or something. This would be hard for any maid to accept, not to mention that whether this match is a perfect match is debatable.

"Hmph, since Anjie said so, Anna should stay tonight."

Coppelia said unyieldingly.

"I'm going to let this disobedient maid see how well I know Anjie!"

"Why am I the one who suffers in the end——"

201 The Witch Lady is Cute No Matter Where She Is

No matter what, Angelica, who needed help, had no way to resist Coppelia.

After Coppelia's manipulations, the only part of Angelica's body that could move freely while she was lying on the bed was her neck. She had been tortured badly by Coppelia in the past, so although she felt ashamed this time, she was still calm.

Perhaps it was because in the customs of the other world, there was no common phenomenon of girls liking each other among any race, so Angelica was always the active one. However, when facing Coppelia, Angelica was often in a passive position.

If she were to be honest, Angelica didn't hate this feeling. For her, it was an experience she had been longing for. Of course, this didn't mean that Angelica was actively longing for it. It was simply that apart from Coppelia, no other girl would fantasize about her to this extent.

"Ask a question! Anna, I want to ask you a question now."

Coppelia did not rush to decide how to deal with Angelica, but instead issued a challenge to Anna.

"——Which part tastes best, Anjie?"
