Chapter 395 – The Witch’s Assistant

Chapter 395 – The Witch’s Assistant
In the harbor area of Nisborg, Friedrich List stood in front of a small two-story building with satisfaction, he carefully surveyed the building, from now on this would be the place where he would work and live.

After a clanking sound, a bilingual plaque in Aldorian and Hornblower hung securely over the front door – “Todd’s Boat Company”.

After cheerfully paying the decorator, Lister exhaled with a relaxed expression, the office that the boss had commissioned himself to establish was finally done. From now on, he would be the representative of the shipping company in Horn Bay, although he would not be able to return to the Northwest Bay for a long time, but this is also a “high promotion”.

The office should always pay attention to the local market trends, the Todd Boat Company’s merchant ships from the Northwest Bay south loaded with goods, came to Horn Bay after unloading naturally can not go home empty, this time through the office to find out whether there is a south of the north transportation business can be taken, or their own purchase of profitable goods to bring back.

With the deepening of economic trade between the two regions, it is believed that more and more offices will be established by Northwest Bay merchants in this part of the Bay.

Just as he was thinking about the future, a rag flew out of the second floor window and landed squarely on his face.

Following that, a pretty face peeked out from inside, but as pretty as it was, the expression on it was as if Liszt owed her eight million dollars, “Didn’t you say you were going to clean up, why are you lazy down there all by yourself?”

Lister bitterly laughed and took the rag off his face, panicked and said, “Coming coming, I’ll go help you.”

“Hmph! Say it as if it’s my business!”

“Haha, sorry.”

The woman’s name was Sevia Asitini, a newly recruited assistant of Liszt, but she also had some other layer of identity – a magical girl who hid her identity!

It was she who had openly run to the vicinity of the cathedral in Nisborough more than a month ago to declare war on the church, causing quite a commotion and causing the Nisborough church to lose a lot of face.

But her real purpose was to lure out the church arms guarding the cathedral so that another group of people could infiltrate in to rescue the imprisoned wizard, and it worked too, a real slap in the face to the church.

But I don’t know whether it is too big or already hold the will to die, after the completion of the matter even fainted on the ground, fortunately, she was hidden well enough, and the church’s armed personnel in the discovery of some people robbing the prison after the hasty return to help, which escaped with their lives.

And then was hiding in the side of the war trembling to watch the battle of Lester touched and “picked up” back.

Not because of the antidote thing, the past so many days, I have nothing wrong, Lester also guessed that the witch was bluffing him. But perhaps it is because of that night’s intimate contact, Lester always feel that he can not see death to save this woman, there is an invisible thing driving him.

Luckily, he had rented a new place and had a hidden place to stay, otherwise he would have been in big trouble if he was still in the hotel.

Unsurprisingly, the church began a full-scale manhunt, checking pedestrians in the streets and alleys, and forcibly closing off access to the city’s interior and exterior, as well as the harbor. Lester didn’t dare to go out for a few days, and the purification team once again caused a lot of complaints from the people in the city.

Fortunately, the new Bishop of Nisborough, Angelo, suppressed the Paladin Velaeus and other radicals and restored order to the city. Rumors abound in the streets and alleys, and it is said that there is disagreement and bickering within the church, with the heads of the Purification Squad being more than a little disgruntled with the new bishop’s tendency towards moderation, but the Lord Bishop has his own large group of supporters.

Back to the witch Lister picked up, she finally woke up after three consecutive days of unconsciousness, and after figuring out what was going on she cursed her savior.

“Who asked you to save me! Fool!”

“Don’t you realize how dangerous it is? Stupid!”

At the end, he said in a sarcastic tone, “Oh, is it because of what happened that day that you think you have some responsibility towards me? So you’re still a fledgling, don’t flatter yourself!”

“Hey hey! You don’t talk nonsense …… I’m not …… I’m not ……” Lister reddened his face and firmly counterattacked back. “I saved you solely because in the spirit of a simple righteous heart.” He defended himself in all seriousness.

However, the other party sounded like he was ungrateful, but in reality, he was chagrined and worried about implicating innocent people. This also let Lister know that the Witch was the one with a cold face and a warm heart, and it looked like he hadn’t saved the wrong person.

Afterwards, because of the reason of sealing the city, the witch stayed under Lister’s persuasion.

“That …… you see I saved you after all, why don’t you stay and help me a little?”

“What?”

“I was sent by my boss to this place to set up an office, and I still need an assistant who is familiar with local intelligence, but the funds are not much, so I want to find a cheaper one, why don’t you just spare yourself the trouble and give in to it …… Just deal with some paperwork in the house every day, anyway, you still have to deal with the purification team outside the Inventory.”

“Hmph, you really aren’t afraid of getting into trouble. Well, since you’re not afraid of it yourself, what else can I say, there’s nowhere else to go anyway.”

But looking at the expression on the witch’s face, it was 80% that she saw herself as a lustful person. “Friedrich Lister, representative of the Northwest Bay Todd Boat Company in Nisborough, please advise me!”

Lister endeavored to put on a sincere expression, then extended his right hand, and then retracted it with a slight blush.

“Sevia Ashitini, Witch of Horned Bay, please teach me more.”

The magical girl finally replied in a normal tone, though it was still nonchalant.

After that, he saw the other party’s breathtaking disguise – it was almost as if they had changed into a different person, so it was no wonder they had been able to lurk in Nisborough for so long, and still be able to unknowingly plan an attack on the church.

Was this magic? It seemed like it wasn’t, perhaps some mundane skills could also achieve an out-of-this-world effect when mastered.

After the atmosphere in the city loosened up a bit, Lister started to look for an office with the help of his “female assistant”. With the guidance of local people, it took almost a week to find a place to live.

Then came the scene at the beginning of this chapter.

Lister went up to the second floor and cleaned the house with the witch named Sevia Assitini.

As he wiped the glass, he had nothing to say.

“Geez, today’s weather is so nice!”

“……”

“Breakfast still tasty?”

“……”

“That ……”

“If you can’t chat, don’t be awkward!”

“Uh …… sorry.”

With an embarrassed look on his face, Lister turned back to the window and wiped it up with a single-minded effort.

After noticing that there was no movement behind her, Servia looked back at Lister breathlessly.

At that time, after agreeing to stay, she made up her mind that if this mortal man had any mischievous intentions towards her, then she would definitely will make him look good, make him regret coming to this world kind of look good.

But after a period of time together, this guy didn’t seem to have any excessive behavior, nor did he hold the en to any excessive demands on himself, except for some awkward hitchhiking, which was a serious explanation of his work.

Is it really as he himself said, “in the spirit of a simple heart of justice”, the world has this thing?
In the midst of his thoughts, there was a loud noise coming from outside the window, as if a large group of people were shouting something.

With a wary flicker, Servia let the curtains cover herself, and then quietly peered out to observe.

She glanced at Lister, and the guy had no qualms about staring out stupidly.

All that could be seen was a large group of people passing through the streets, and people were constantly joining them.

“Angelo! Angelo!”

The people parading the streets kept shouting slogans.

Angelo?
Lister and Servia looked at each other, wasn’t that the name of the new Bishop of Nisborough?
