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

Although Charles didn't intend to do so.

Because that's just too despicable.

All along, Miss Witch had helped him so much, not only with trivial matters in life, she had saved him many times with healing spells, and had helped him block that fatal sword... No matter what, Charles could not convince himself to use the master-servant contract to order Miss Witch to answer questions obediently.

When he faced his mad mother, he used the contract to ask Miss Witch to leave. This was the most outrageous thing he could do.

But even if he didn't issue orders to Miss Witch through the contract, he might have a way to verify whether Miss Witch was lying to him.

……

When Charles returned to the Sea of ​​Forest, Laciel was lying next to the coffin basking in the sun.

The coffin was open, allowing sunlight to shine directly into the coffin, onto the priest in the coffin, while the witch, who shared her senses, lay comfortably on the wicker chair next to it, enjoying double the pleasure.

Only at this time could she comfort herself that having an extra body out of thin air was not a bad thing but a good thing for her.

But this good mood quickly disappeared with the birth of the thought: "What if Charles comes back and kisses and bites the priest?"

For a moment, Lacele really wanted to hide Charles' wife.

It’s a pity that it can’t be hidden - if Charles finds his wife missing when he comes back, who knows how crazy he will be.

So Lacier could only curl her lips, but a few classic lines came to her mind:

"In the first stage, we say nothing happened; in the second stage, we say maybe something happened but we shouldn't have done anything; in the third stage, we say maybe we should have done something but there's nothing we can do; in the fourth stage, we say maybe we could have done something but now it's too late."

This statement coincides with her views on the resurrection of the pastor.

It's a pity that Charles doesn't seem to think so.

Rachel couldn't control Charles's mind, so she had to obey Charles and pretend to resurrect the priest.

Now there was something strange going on in Diesel—the wishing well temporarily helped her to deal with Ciel—as for what she would do after they had investigated or resolved the strangeness in Diesel and this fake body disappeared...

Didn’t Fuwena say that?

"Civilization will find its own way."

As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties.

Lacele decided to investigate in Diesel while making a spare body as soon as possible. As long as the abnormalities in Diesel were eliminated, she would immediately replace the pillars.

Am I really a genius?

As she thought this smugly, she slowly opened her eyes and planned to get something to drink.

Then, she saw Charles who appeared in front of her out of nowhere.

As the saying goes, a person of integrity fears no crooked shadow, but Lacee had done so many bad things that her shadow, not to mention being crooked, was almost tangled - so when she suddenly discovered that Charles was standing in front of her, she screamed and almost fell off the wicker chair.

Fortunately, Ciel reacted quickly and held her up.

But Lacier was still not used to being touched by a man... by Charles, so she quickly shook off Charles' hand without leaving a trace, and then returned to her usual elegant and calm demeanor, and asked:

"Why are you back so soon? Are you done?"

At this point she became curious about what Charles was going back to Conker to get.

So she asked:

"What on earth did you order from Kangkel? Diesel's abnormality is so difficult and the situation is urgent, but you still have the time to go back to Kangkel to get it?"

Ciel replied in a low voice:

"It's something...very important to me. With it, I can better exert my power."

Just like when he faced his mad mother, he had wrapped the handkerchief left to him by Rachel around his wrist to gain strength.

He didn't lie, but his words meant something else to Rachel.

Charles has a holy sword, so he has no shortage of weapons. Of course, perhaps only the holy sword can withstand the extraordinary strength of the heroes of all generations - so Laciel guessed that the thing that Charles said could enhance his strength should be some kind of protective gear.

She felt that this answer was in line with Charles' usual style, efficient but boring, so she did not ask any further questions. Instead, she changed her posture to lying on her side, supporting her arms on the rattan chair and cupping her cheek with her palms.

"Is everything done? Now we can finally start investigating the anomalies in Diesel?"

Miss Witch asked.

Her posture is lazy, her waist is slender and can be held in one hand, but her breasts, thighs and buttocks are slightly plump, a very standard figure for childbirth.

However, she herself was not aware of this at all.

Perhaps because she was once a man, she rarely considered herself a real girl. Only in very rare circumstances, such as when she was held in Charles' arms, pressed by Charles, or almost buckled by Charles, would she suddenly realize the truth.

It turns out that my buddy is a female now.

So she would often unconsciously let Charles take advantage of her - although she probably didn't care about it at all. Sometimes when she was in the mood, she might even take the initiative to lift up her skirt, half-covering it, teasing Charles and asking him:

"Do you think she's cute?"

Of course, she didn't do that now, and Charles could answer without changing his expression:

"No... there's one more thing."

Lacier almost subconsciously replied, "Only magic can defeat magic," but fortunately she stopped in time and asked:

"what's up?"

"Can you help me wake up Lacie again? I have something to say to her."

"?"

Lacey was happy.

She thought to herself that the Lacie you wanted to wake up was actually right in front of you, but you were too blind to recognize her.

Jie Jie!

Of course, she could only think about this in her heart and must never say it out loud.

So she asked:

"Of course I can...but why do you want me to wake her up?"

Charles did not answer, as if he had something to hide.

Lacele understood this - after all, they both had to go to Diesel to investigate the anomaly, and the pastor lady had finally regained consciousness to a certain extent. If she were Charles, she would definitely want to talk more with the pastor lady - in that case, she agreed!

Anyway, if she wanted to know what Charles would say to the priest, she could just switch her consciousness over there.

So the witch "awoke" the priest.

In order to give Charles some private space, she even left first.

But in reality it is like retreating.

She switched her consciousness back into the pastor's body, then pretended to be confused, waiting for Charles to speak to her.

But for some reason, after the initial trembling of his lips, Charles remained silent for a long time without speaking, until finally, he reached out and touched her head and told her:

"Be good, wait until I come back."

Lacie was in a strange mood and at the same time, she was completely confused.

"That's it?" she thought, "My friend took off his skirt, and this is all he said? Are you trying to make fun of me?"

But as she was thinking this, she didn't notice the change in Charles' expression.

From doubt to conviction.

The hero verified his conjecture - when facing the current Laciel, or Miss Pastor, he opened his mouth to call her name, but driven by some force, he uttered the name:

"Owner."

[To be continued]

3/3

15. What is the price

For the sake of the pastor's body that appeared inexplicably, Rachel and Charles decided to go to Diesel again.

They have to find out the truth about Diesel's abnormality.

However, neither Rachel nor Charles could tell each other why they went to Diesel to investigate the truth.

They both have ulterior motives.

Rachel knew that the body was not created by her, so she was sure that there was definitely something wrong with Diesel's wishing well; and as the wisher herself, Charles, who had guessed Rachel's true identity, was more certain than Rachel that there was something abnormal about the wishing well.

But neither of them intended to tell others about their discovery.

The witch didn't want to reveal her identity, and since she didn't speak, the hero wisely remained silent.

He chose to obey the witch.

Although the investigation the day before did not yield any decent results, and although they both tacitly agreed that the body of the pastor lady was regarded as a creation of the witch, rather than a derivative of the anomaly.

Logically speaking, they should have kept their troops in place at this time and reported the situation to Lao Deng.

Lacie also understood this truth, but what could she do? She was also desperate.

She couldn't just tell Charles:

"My buddy is actually your wife! Who knows what the body lying in the coffin is, you must not let her fool you!"

Then, she could legitimately ask Charles to investigate Diesel with her again.

But she couldn't say such words.

She could only act as a riddle teller, grunting and swearing to Charles that although we did not find anything unusual in Diesel yesterday, his intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with the country of Diesel!

But this kind of words was too unconvincing. Given Charles's personality, Lacier thought that she had no chance of convincing him, so she had to make up a more convincing reason...

But just as she had this thought, she heard Charles reply:

"it is good."

He actually agreed with Lacie's opinion without any hesitation.

Now it was Lacie's turn to be confused.

"I actually believed it..." She just murmured without saying anything, then stared at Charles seriously and asked, "You also feel something is wrong?"

After hearing this, Charles thought about the body lying in the coffin that shouldn't be there, and unconsciously tightened his face. He nodded seriously and answered:

"Yes."

This is true, he did notice something wrong with Diesel.

Lacele didn't notice anything wrong in Charles' tone - although this time, her intuition really reminded her that Charles agreed a little too decisively.

So, hesitating, Lacier's eyes turned into 0.o, and after staring at Charles for a while, she slowly nodded:

"Okay, shall we set off now?"

Charles said "hmm".

Then Lacie took out her wand.

"Stand next to me," she ordered.

Charles obediently approached her - but he did not stand beside her as usual, but came in front of her.

"?"

Lacie slowly typed a question mark.

Charles was tall and strong. Although he was not as big as a double-door refrigerator, compared to her sitting in a wheelchair, he was like a wall rushing towards her.

The witch swallowed unconsciously.

But when Charles came to her, he didn't do anything to her. He just looked down at her silently.

Lacey thought to herself, he is looking at the Bull Demon, you are not allowed to look at him!

But she really didn't have the courage to say this out loud - after all, Charles looked normal and didn't seem to intend to do anything to her anymore - so in that case, she had to pretend nothing had happened.

But this time, she did not remind Ciel to turn off the forbidden spell.

Lacier directly used the warp spell.
