Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Chapter 26 [The Witch and the Wolf Village]

  In the Middle Ages, there were only a few towns with city walls, and most of them were villages with no defenses and were only patrolled by guards. Therefore, Angelica and Abigail mostly settled in villages.
  In a tavern in a village.
  "It worked! Sister Angelica!"

  "Very good. Well done."
  Angelica stroked the back of her white hand, which was as smooth as jade without a single scar.
  "Ophiuchus Sequence Nine: Rapid Healing is magic that can quickly heal external injuries. Even for very serious wounds, it can stop bleeding and prevent wound infection. But remember, it has no effect on internal injuries and diseases, or in other words, magic that can heal diseases almost does not exist."

  "Eh? There's no magic that can heal the disease?"
  "If magic could cure diseases, doctors would be completely out of work, and there would be no terminal illnesses in the world. My situation is rather special. After becoming immortal, I am more immune to the most dangerous diseases. On the contrary, I am susceptible to minor colds that can be cured... That's why that time of month gives me a headache..."
  Angelica complained, saying that she had often seen immortals in works before she traveled through time, but she had never cared whether those immortals were immune to terminal illnesses. If a person were immortal but had no immunity to disease, wouldn't it be endless torture if he got a terminal illness like cancer?

  Angelica, who has become a Beyonder, is completely immune to fatal diseases with sequelae, but she is not immune to the common cold, which is completely opposite to the resistance of ordinary people.
  "That's all for today."
  Angelica held out her hand to greet the barmaid.

  "Two glasses of water."
  After a lot of talking, Angelica felt a little dry in the mouth. Abigail was still young and couldn't drink, and Angelica didn't have a habit of drinking, so they stayed in many taverns along the way and always ordered water or drinks.
  The barmaid unexpectedly looked very embarrassed.

  "I'm very sorry, but we... don't have any water at the moment. The person who went to get water hasn't returned yet."
  "Why is there no drinkable water in the tavern... If I remember correctly, there should be a stream outside."
  A place without a water source is not suitable for building a village. In fact, there is a stream outside the village. Although Angelica has never drunk water from the abundant water source on the road, the stream should not be a problem.

  "You came up from downstream?"
Author: sauce sauce
  "Yeah, what's wrong?"
  "There is a village called Bonn upstream of our village. A long time ago, our two villages agreed to draw water from the middle of the stream between the villages. Until 20 years ago, Bonn broke the agreement and drew water directly near their village. The garbage and filth thrown into the river would float down, which is very unsanitary, so we have to go to Bonn to get water."

  Generally speaking, villages upstream and downstream will have rules to establish common water-taking points. If the upstream villages only care about their own convenience, the stream water in the downstream villages will naturally be left with only sewage.
  "Didn't you go to Bonn Village to argue?"
  “We did go and look for them… but they refused to give in. Our village is no match for them.”

  "I see that the people here are quite strong. Are there more people in Bonn Village?"
  "We have the advantage in numbers. But there are werewolves in Bonn Village."
  "Werewolf?"

  Abigail heard the interesting term and cast a curious look at Angelica.''
  Angelica knew a thing or two about werewolves.
  "A monster born from a curse. The cursed person still walks on two feet like a human, but his head becomes that of a wolf, his hands become claws, and his body is covered in fur. You can think of it as a humanoid monster that is clearly a wolf but has human habits."

  "So, so scary..."
  In Angelica's original world, such creatures were usually called werewolves. It was said that they would hide among humans and wait until night to transform into werewolves to hunt. Werewolves in the other world were another race. Werewolves tended to be humanoid, while also tending to be beasts.
  "Werewolves have terrifying powers, and their speed and lethality are no less than those of real wolves. Ordinary people are no match for werewolves. So why are there werewolves in Bonn Village? Werewolves are not monsters that like to coexist with humans."

  "I heard that the werewolf was cursed at birth, but Bonn Village did not drive him away. When he grew up, he voluntarily took on the responsibility of protecting the village. They are not right to occupy the water source, but if we go to Bonn Village to argue, the werewolf will protect the village that took him in."
  The waitress smiled helplessly. The lifespan of the werewolf will eventually end. By then, Bonn Village will no longer ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) have the trump card to monopolize the water source. It will only make the people of the downstream villages suffer. Every time they want to fetch water, they have to travel thousands of miles to Bonn Village and have to endure the cold shoulder of the Bonn villagers. Because there is a werewolf in Bonn Village, even if they go to fetch water themselves, the Bonn villagers have the right to line up first, or even jump the queue.
  The business of the taverns in the downstream villages was inevitably affected. Everyone complained about the overbearing behavior of Bonn Village, but so what? No one could defeat the werewolves in Bonn Village, and they could only swallow their broken teeth.

  “It’s not easy for you either.”
  “Thank you for your understanding.”
  Angelica had no intention of seeking justice for the downstream villages. Each village had its own problems, and she had no obligation to help every village solve its problems. Having said that, it was meaningless to continue staying in the downstream villages. Angelica's original plan was to reach Bonn Village before dusk and stay there.

  After resting, Angelica and Abigail set off again, but after learning that there were terrible werewolves in Bonn Village, Abigail couldn't help feeling timid when approaching Bonn Village.
  "Sister Angelica, are werewolves scary?"
  "Witches are much scarier than werewolves."

  It was unclear whether Angelica was responding jokingly or seriously, but she was indeed not afraid of werewolves, and she had enough confidence to protect Abigail.
  Many carriages that passed by later on the road were heading to Bonn Village. It seemed that the lack of water in the downstream villages had a great impact on the accommodation business. After twenty years of fermentation, the relationship between the two villages must have become extremely bad.
  "Look! Sister Angelica, what a huge waterwheel!"

  Children are children after all. One second, they were still frightened by the existence of werewolves, and the next second, they were attracted by the huge waterwheel outside Bonn Village. Abigail ran to the waterwheel and looked up in amazement at its size. The so-called waterwheel is a tool for irrigating farmland with a water cylinder. Nowadays, most people use manpower to push the waterwheel to irrigate crops on a large scale easily and conveniently.
  It wasn't that Abigail lacked knowledge. The waterwheel in Bonn Village was incredibly large, taller than the windmill. Angelica once thought that there were giants living in Bonn Village.
  “Be careful!”

  Angelica heard a scream from behind her, and she turned around to see a frightened horse running towards where Abigail was.
  Angelica was about to chant magic to save Abigail, but a dark shadow blocked Abigail's way.
