I rely on black magic to build infrastructure [Comprehensive fairy tale]

my shadow is gone

When Fran woke up, her head was buzzing, as if someone had been singing a song in her ear all night.

It was already bright outside, but the magic mirror said that the Dark God had not returned.

She looked down at her blurred shadow, and waved at her: "Master Dark God, are you back?"

Just like other ordinary shadows, the figure raised its hand following Fran's movement, and there was no other movement.

The Dark God really didn't come back.

The country of Valman is not like the country of the Black Forest. Without the sanctuary of the believer, the Duke of Stington, she has no idea whether the god is in trouble or is in trouble.

"Lord Fran, Her Royal Highness invites you to come over."

There is no time for Fran to find the dark god who does not return at night. She must go to the queen.

After arriving at the gate of the palace, she saw Aka who tried her potion yesterday.

The maid turned her back to her and faced the queen, holding her face in her hands, not knowing whether she was crying or laughing.

"Fran, come and take a look."

This time, Queen Ginny was lazily sitting on the sofa in the palace, her long golden curly hair was braided into braids, winding on the sofa seats, covering a whole seat.

Hearing Fran's name, the maid Aka turned around excitedly and knelt down in front of Fran.

"My lord, thank you, you must be the messenger sent by the gods to save me."

Aka raised his head. He didn't wear yesterday's veil, and the scary large markings had faded away a lot as a whole.

The skin that was originally red and acne-prone appears fair and tender.

"This child has been tortured by her appearance since she was a child, and she will repay you for everything she says." Ginny was obviously also surprised by the effect of the magic potion, "This is the first time I have seen such a magical magic potion."

Aka bowed deeply to Fran: "My lord, the empress has already agreed, and I am willing to do anything for you to repay you."

Because of her ugly appearance, she has been ridiculed and treated unfairly. It is unimaginable for her to take off her veil to see people.

She once wished on the stars, if she can get rid of the torture of appearance, she can give everything.

Today she did.

The female officer in charge who has been bullying her for a long time, when she sees the earth-shaking changes in her appearance, the expression Aka can be refreshing for a lifetime.

"That's not the case." Fran walked close to A-Ka and helped her up.

She took out the pot of medicinal lotion, and applied it on her face with freckles under A-Ka's surprised eyes.

"Come back to me tomorrow, I guess I'll paint it again, and it's almost done." Fran warned.

This is not a losing trade.

Soon, there will be spontaneous promotion of her potion among the attendants in the palace.

——In just three days, all the spots on the face of a maid who has suffered from smallpox can disappear, and the delicate and fair skin of a baby can be restored.

Immediately afterwards, the nobles who have close ties with the palace will also know, and then ordinary civilians.

Even if she and Empress Valerman didn't agree, within half a month, everyone in the Valerman Kingdom would discuss her magical potion privately.

No one can stop people from loving beauty.

Queen Ginny Valman gestured to the sofa opposite her, and a maid immediately poured boiling hot tea.

"Come on, let's talk about this potion."

Fran nodded, sat on the sofa opposite Ginny, and placed the bottle of magic potion on the coffee table between them.

It's like a bait, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

After doing all this, she subconsciously lowered her head to look at the shadow.

Sure enough, the Dark God still hasn't returned.

"Let's talk directly, how many catties of hair are needed to exchange a bottle of magic potion like yours." Ginny said bluntly.

……hair?

So did Empress Valerman think she came for her hair?

Seeing that Fran was silent, Ginny added: "My hair is equivalent to gold coins in any country. As long as you grow a few dozen strands, you can make a mane comb that can keep your hair youthful forever."

Dozens of hairs is not too much, but judging by the length of Ginny's hair, dozens of hairs are already a lot.

"I have absolute control over my hair and will never compromise its value by overselling a bristle comb with my hair in it."

This took Fran a little by surprise.

It turned out that Valman's wealth not only benefited from Queen Valman's magical long hair, but also her business strategy.

After all, no matter how valuable a comb is, if it is readily available, it is a comb.

Thinking that Fran was weighing, Ginny continued: "If you agree to sell this medicine to our country, as long as the price is fair, I will promote and sell your medicine on the premise of not collecting taxes. It comes from your country. You can enter and leave Valman country freely. I know that your country is very short of money at the moment."

If Fran was a businessman speaking for the country, she would be persuaded.

But her real purpose is the golden comb.

She said hesitantly: "My magic potion is made from special medicinal materials and my magic, so I can absolutely guarantee that no one else can produce a similar potion. But I heard that your hair, It’s because of a golden comb that it has magical powers. What if the comb is stolen? Will the value of the hair not be guaranteed?”

Fran observed Ginny's expression.

The queen didn't seem to care about mentioning the magic comb at all. It seemed that the comb existed as rumored, and it wasn't a hidden secret.

"I do have such a comb, and my hair is shaped like this because of it." Ginny's hand slowly stroked her braids, "This comb was given to me by my fairy godmother. Casting the magic of light not only endows my hair with magical powers, but also grants me a longer lifespan than ordinary people."

Fran blinked her eyes slowly, this doesn't sound like a treasure that will not be feared by others, why...

"However, only I can use this comb. For others, it's just an ordinary golden comb that won't produce any magic power." Ginny promised, "So please rest assured that even if the comb is stolen, it will not be damaged. It won't affect the value of my hair."

Fran: "..."

She was basically sure that this golden comb from the fairy godmother was the magic item she was looking for.

but--

"Your Highness, since you said that this comb can prolong your life, why do you still want my potion?" Fran asked puzzled.

"It's one thing to be 60 with the vigor of a 20-year-old, it's another thing to have the face of a 60-year-old at 20. A gold comb can prolong my life, but not my beauty. I don't want to be wrinkled. Decades." Ginny said frankly, "and I have always had a wish to remove the marks on my godmother's face."

"Your godmother...?"

Queen Valman's godmother is a fairy witch under the God of Light.If she knew that her queen had used the black magic potion bought from the followers of the Dark God to remove the marks on her face, she would not know how she would feel.

Or, forget it?

When mentioning the godmother, Ginny looked a little sad: "My godmother secretly left me a few years ago, and only left me this magic golden comb."

Fran followed with a sigh: "That's really regrettable."

Faerie witch is not in this kingdom?

That's great.

"I don't know if it's offensive, can you tell me the story of your godmother again, this is the first time I've heard about the fairy witch from the God of Light." The fairy who fell from the God of Light to a black witch, Fran, who has become a follower of the Dark God, said without changing her expression.

Ginny nodded, her smile, and her long golden hair, like gleaming gold, illuminated the entire palace.

"it is good."

……

An hour later, Fran walked out of the palace alone on the grounds that she wanted to go to the street to see the value of the mane comb made of the Queen's hair.

She went back to the room and asked the magic mirror, and the mirror told her with certainty that the God of Darkness had not returned.

This made Fran somewhat inexplicably irritated.

If the god is gone and there is no way to do anything for the believers, then as his believer, it is meaningless for her to look for magic items.

The very principled Fran thought so.

"My lord, do you have any troubles?"

"Hey, my shadow went out in the middle of the night and hasn't come back yet. I'm a little worried."

Fran turned her head, she was a middle-aged woman dressed as an aristocrat.

The puff sleeves and the gray-blue round dance skirt make her look very plump.

The "shadow going out" obviously made the noble woman a little confused, but she quickly regained her composure: "Master Fulan, I am here to pick you up by order of my lord."

Fran shook her head: "I told Her Majesty the Queen, it's good to go shopping alone, there is no need..."

Stopped abruptly.

What did she just say?By your lord's order?

"Which adult?" It couldn't be the one she thought.

The noble woman clasped her hands together, showing a solemn expression: "May the God of Darkness bless you."

Fran:  …

This god is obviously the one who lost the war, so how come the believers are the same as the ones who buy cabbage from the vegetable market, everywhere?

"Your Excellency is waiting for you in the carriage."

Fran followed her gaze to the gorgeous carriage parked in the corner near the palace entrance, hidden in the shadows.

After nodding stiffly, Fran approached and got into the carriage.

When the door of the carriage was closed, the light and shadow returned to darkness, and a familiar god appeared on the opposite seat.

The pair of red eyes fell on Fulan: "I heard that you are looking for your shadow?"

Fran:  …
