Shut up, brave man! I don't want to atone for my sins to you!

She really couldn't make up her mind.

In theory, she could indeed become a priest again, declare to her former companions, "Children, I am back", and use her excellent eloquence to make up the most reasonable logic: for example, how she elbowed and crushed all the powerful enemies along the way, and finally won the resurrection match and was able to return to the world -

It’s “love”!

She loves Charles, and Charles loves her too. Under the power of love, she is resurrected!

At that time, she will be able to ask her former companions in a serious and mysterious manner:

"The power of love, isn't it magical?"

Although Rachel wanted to do this, her mind told her not to.

Truth will come out sooner or later, lies will eventually be exposed, she is not ready to spend her whole life protecting a lie, so she might as well take the initiative to reveal the truth, even though there is a high probability that she will be laughed at...

To be honest, Laciel felt like she was jumping out of the crowd, raising her hands and shouting:

"Everyone, look at me! I have something to announce - in order to avenge the hero, I will marry him and become his wife!"

Just thinking about that scene made Lacie blush.

Isn't it embarrassing? It's really embarrassing!

Doesn’t she, the Witch of Dawn and Dusk, have any dignity to save?

If she continues like this, she may not be the Dawn and Dusk Witch anymore. She will probably be given a new title - when people mention her in the future, they will probably call her the Stupid Witch.

In her previous life, Lacey could still find ways to comfort herself and win a spiritual victory. For example, if she became Ciel's wife, she could blast Ciel's gold coins hard, and turn all her monthly salary over to Ciel without leaving a penny, turning the former hero into a miserable office worker who worked day and night to support his wife and children. She even had the confidence to make Ciel pay taxes every day, making him physically and mentally exhausted, and not even daring to enter the bedroom every night and only dared to sleep on the sofa in the living room.

Yet this is Pangaea.

She has become a stinky beggar from outside.

She really couldn't do anything to Ciel. Facing the accusation, "Aren't you going to take revenge on the hero? Do you mean you're now his wife?", she had no way to defend herself. She could only blush like Kong Yiji and say stubbornly, "Sneak behind enemy lines... How can you say that sneaking behind enemy lines is free?"

There was nothing she could do except to be stubborn.

The only thing the witch could do was to secretly say bad things about Ciel:

"You deserve to die, brave man! You've done so many bad things! I should have robbed you of your gold coins and made you a pauper - don't you want to marry me? Fine, then prove your sincerity to me and take out a large sum of money as a betrothal gift..."

She was scolding here when suddenly Charles' voice rang out from behind her:

"What kind of gift?"

Lacie was so frightened that her whole body stood up straight.

"Ah, this..." She turned away stiffly and explained in a low voice with a guilty conscience, "Nothing... nothing, I just thought of... some things in my hometown."

"Hometown?" Charles, who finally changed his clothes after many days and looked much more energetic, asked, "So, the 'bride price' you just mentioned is something from your hometown?"

"Ah..." Lacey looked away awkwardly, "I guess so."

Then, to make her explanation more convincing, she added:

"It's the custom in my hometown. When getting married, the man needs to pay a sum of money to the woman."

Charles seemed to understand, so he nodded and asked seriously:

"Then... do you want a gift?"

"Huh?" Lacie was stunned for a moment, then she felt a little amused.

What kind of gift does she want?

The sword of the previous life cannot kill the officials of the other world. This is not popular in the Pan-Continent. Moreover, as to whether Charles can afford the money... Lacee is not sure. In her eyes, Charles is often so poor that he can't even afford to eat.

So she simply laughed:

"Hehe, stop overestimating yourself. You can fool your buddies, but don't fool yourself. You clearly wanted to come to me every day to eat with me when you were in Kangkel. Now that you are so poor, I don't believe you can afford the bride price..."

As she spoke, she puffed out her chest and deliberately told Charles:

"Let me make it clear first, I'm not a cheap guy!"

Charles couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He raised his hand and touched Lacier's head, and said casually:

"Why does it sound like a slave trade? In your hometown, is the so-called bride price the money the man pays to buy the woman?"

Laceel originally wanted to refute, but soon she found that what Ciel said... seemed to be correct in some places, so she replied unconfidently:

"Not entirely..."

Ciel didn't intend to delve into this question and sighed:

"I see. Then your hometown does have some strange customs."

Then, he lowered his head and thought seriously, as if he was considering what answer to give to Lacier. After a while, when he finished thinking, he raised his head again, smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"But you're right. I don't think I can afford the money... Apart from the title of a hero and the holy sword, I probably have nothing else."

Lacee became proud and thought, "Right, right, Charles is just a poor guy, and he actually wants to buy her with a dowry!"

It’s just wishful thinking!

But she was not short of money, at least not the money from Charles, so she generously patted Charles on the shoulder and put on a face of a wealthy woman:

"It's okay! I have money! I'll protect you from now on! Just tell me if you need money!"

"As for the betrothal gift..." She sighed delicately, "It doesn't matter whether there is such a thing or not, anyway..."

The witch suddenly tilted her head, raised the corner of her mouth, and asked:

"do you love me?"

She asked too bluntly, and Charles was rather reserved, although he never let anyone down at the critical moment, and would never act like a cowardly lizard when he had to chase Lacie and say "I like you". But now that Lacie had asked him this out of the blue, he was actually a little embarrassed to speak up.

But in the end, the brave man faced his true heart and answered:

"Love."

"That's enough."

The witch poked his cheek and smiled:

"Hehe, I'm not greedy for money, and I'm not short of money, so why would I ask for a gift? All I want is you and your heart."

She also boasted:

"What do you think? You can't find a good woman like me even with a lantern, right? Just be happy if you marry me!"

It was adorable how Rachel boasted about herself, but she was totally unaware of it.

Kochar realized it.

He couldn't help but smile, nodded, and said "yes", then hugged her regardless of Laci's objections and protests.

"Why are you hugging me all of a sudden?" Lacele tried to elbow Charles to free her. "Crawl, crawl, crawl! Get away from me!"

It's like looking down on the big dog he owns, which would stand up and pounce on her and lick her face madly when it sees her.

Lacele disliked Charles very much.

But Charles didn't dislike Lacee at all. He hugged Lacee tightly and rubbed her for a long time. He buried his face in Lacee's neck and took deep breaths, making Lacee blush.

Laceel couldn't stand it anymore. She had originally intended to just warn Ciel, but now she was forced to take real action.

She quietly raised her leg and aimed at Charles' instep, intending to step down hard to give him a surprise.

It was at this moment that she heard Charles say to her:

"Falling in love with you is probably the best decision I have ever made in my life."

Then the man leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"…Wife."

"!!!"

Lacele was completely dazed by the call. Even though Charles didn't do anything to her, she felt her whole body go limp.

"It's incredible. How could a simple change of address have such an exaggerated effect on a person?"

She thought so and tried to be tough and tell Charles to get away quickly, but when the words came to her lips they became as soft as her body.

So in the end, the witch lady just gave the hero a symbolic push and then admitted defeat.

"Um……"

She responded to the hero's call.

But that was all, she didn't intend to let Charles go any further.

What Charles said before seemed to be true. They had rested enough and it was time to embark on a new adventure, just like before, going to new places, meeting strangers and completing different commissions.

It's time to set off.

So a short hug was enough. After the short hug, Lacie poked Charles's abdominal muscles and whispered:

"That's enough, isn't it? Why don't you let me go? How can I use the warp spell if you hold me like this? Don't you plan to go to Kangkel with me?"

Upon hearing this, Charles let go of Lacie obediently.

However, whether from his expression or his slow movements, he seemed a little reluctant.

As Lacier took out her wand, she hummed:

"Isn't this enough for you to hug me? Oh, stupid hero, why didn't I know you were so clingy before? You're quite cute... Don't worry, you'll have a chance to hug me in the future, but for now, let's finish what we should do."

It was time for them to head to Kangkol and gather their former companions.

The witch waved her wand, and the hero tacitly deactivated the forbidden spell.

Soon, the witch who was about to complete the warp spell turned around and asked:

"Are you ready?"

The brave man nodded without hesitation and answered:

"Well, I've been waiting for this day... for a long time."

"Then take my hand," the witch said, extending her hand, "and then we should set off..."

She extends an invitation to the brave:

"——It's time to announce to the Pangaea the return of our brave team."

The hero grabbed her hand and nodded, his expression serious and solemn:

"Ah."

1. Welcome Back

In the end, Lacele chose to return to Conker as the Witch of Twilight.

I have to say that Lao Deng is indeed very efficient.

Ciel had asked her to spread the news of what had happened at Lentiheim and Diesel, and she had done so, spreading the news through the White Tower, adding yet another layer of glory to Ciel's already impressive resume.

Now, there is another layer of halo surrounding the brave man Charles.

814 The Thirty-year-old Kirin

In order to avoid being discovered by the triumphant adventurers who surrounded them in three layers, the two men cast a layer of invisibility spell on themselves like thieves, and only then did they dare to walk on the street.

Kangkol is busy all year round.

With adventurers, there are naturally ordinary people who are responsible for logistics. The Pan-Continent will never lack smart businessmen. They come to this adventurer city with their families, purchase goods, sell goods, and together with the adventurers, they gradually turn Kangkel into a prosperous city-state famous throughout the entire Pan-Continent.

Therefore, the street in front of the witch and the hero was crowded with cars and people, forcing the two to move along the edge of the street like two rats just crawling out of a sewer.

Suddenly, the little mouse at the back seemed to think of something. It raised its hand and gently tugged at the corner of the clothes of the big mouse in front.

"Hey! Ciel," she said maliciously in a low voice, "If I remove the concealment spell at this moment and shout to everyone that the 'Hero of Light' is here, guess what will happen?"

The big rat was stunned.

The little mouse continued to threaten maliciously:

"Hehe, Mr. Brave Man, you don't want the news of your return to Kangkel to be known to the whole city, right?"
