Not a Witch

In the Tixilan Mountains, the Maple Leaf Garden.

The afterglow of the setting sun poured down on this crimson world, coating the leaves, the sea of ​​flowers, and the hut with a touch of gold.

Occasionally some weeds emerged from the steps of the hut, a few small flowers protruded from the round roof, and the stone steps in front of the door were also covered with some moss.The owner of this hut has not come out for a long time.

In the closed bedroom, the windows are closed, and only a ray of light leaks from the gap, slanting into the room, and some tiny dust is flying in the air.

On the red-brown maple bed, a silver-haired girl was sleeping quietly, with waterfall-like hair scattered on the pillow and quilt.

The entire small bed is wrapped in a transparent red crystal, like amber where time is stopped.

It has been a long time since Roland Hill fell asleep, and the time outside the window passed seven spring, summer, autumn and winter without knowing it.

Some children grew up slowly and began to step into the ranks of adults, and some old people gradually became silent, and finally rested in the ground.

Now it's a new year, the flowers outside the window are blooming, and the girl gradually opened her eyes.

Chapter 31 Steel Eater

Pushing open the long-closed wooden door, Roland Hill walked out, washed his face with clean water, and looked up at this blue sky, as if from a lifetime.

It has been seven years, what a long dream.

Her pupil color changed from red to blue, and then a stream of air wrapped her body and flew into the sky.

The verdant mountains were as ever, and far to the east, the peaks of the Mountains of Sighs loomed in the clouds.

Roland Hill flew towards the village where the giant snake was killed in the past, the wind whistled in his ears, the long-lost wind pressure brought a comfortable touch, and a pleasant feeling spread in his heart.

At this time, Zhan Snake Village has become a city. The upper part of the hill is a stone-built conference hall, schools, nurseries, hospitals and other public facilities. Halfway up the hill are warehouses, soldier training camps, shooting ranges, workshops, and at the foot of the mountain. It is a huge market, with colorful mushroom houses surrounding the market, leaving only a few main roads to pass through.

When Lorraine Hill came to the sky over the city, what he saw was a prosperous scene. The little bunnies who had just left school were running happily on the streets in various clothes. The bazaar is ablaze with orange lights, and the raucous crowd haggles here.

She slowly landed on the square in front of the conference hall, and then the overjoyed guards immediately ran to summon everyone.

On the tower next to the conference hall, a large bronze bell was rang, and the sound spread to the entire mountain city. The rabbits in the city looked up one after another. When they saw the silver-haired and red-dressed figure, cheers rang all over the mountain, and messengers continued to ride. With a fast horse, he scattered out of the city and announced to the cities of the Rabbit Ears, telling them that the Supreme Highness finally returned today.

After other cities received the letters, the high-level officials of various cities also rushed out to this city.

In the spacious conference hall, rows of tall brass candlesticks were placed in the hall, shining brightly on the interior.

On the steps in the hall, at this moment, there is a gorgeous throne, with golden carved corners and red soft chair backs.

There was a silver-haired girl sitting on the throne. She put her hands on the armrests. Seven years of time did not leave any traces on her body, and she was exactly the same as before.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, it is easy to regard her as a weak girl when they meet for the first time, although she is indeed strong.

Roland Hill's crimson eyes slowly swept across the rabbits present, there were familiar old faces and new members joined.

"Now, I want you to report the results of these seven years in turn."

"Your will, Your Highness." Everyone answered in unison.

The first to be listed is the city lord of Snake Slaying City, Kanda. He is now wearing steel armor and a white cloak.

"Your Highness, this is the cultivated fields, orchards and lakes that we have opened up in the mountains for the past seven years."

The two rabbits carried out a long table from the side, and then opened a huge map, which clearly marked the location of each city, the branch, size and brief introduction of all the production areas.

According to the statistics of various cities, there are about 2 mu of arable land, 5 mu of orchards, and 600 mu of lakes. The annual output is about 2000 million catties of grain, about 1600 million catties of fruit, and about 300 million catties of fish and mussels.

Looking at a steward, the city lord kept reporting, Roland Hill was also calculating quickly in his heart.

The average yield of this arable land is about to catch up with the level of the Mercury Dynasty, but there is still a big gap between it and the industrialized agriculture of the previous life.

One is due to the lack of chemical fertilizers, and the other is because of the mountains, some cultivated land is not as easy to operate as flat land.

The production of natural fertilizers has to be put on the agenda. Food residues, straws, etc. are all good raw materials.

Refining chemical fertilizers is still too difficult at the current level of rabbits. It is better to go ahead and open up more farmland.

"At present, basic education in various cities has been fully popularized, and all underage rabbits will enter schools for education."

"Courses of study, including but not limited to literacy, numeracy, literature, history, philosophy, agronomy, combat, and herbal medicine."

The education is not bad, Loren Hill nodded with satisfaction.

Then there's the armament.

"After constantly eating extraordinary fruits to improve our physique, we now have more and more extraordinary warriors."

"Each city has 80 steel-armored soldiers and 200 reserve militiamen."

“其中各个城市统计合计有序列1的超凡者2400余人，序列2的超凡者600余人，序列3超凡者135人，序列4超凡者16人，序列5超凡者1人。”

"Who is Sequence 5?" the girl asked with more interest.

"His Royal Highness, this is the city's lord Kanda." A clerk next to him replied.

It's him, this once hot-blooded young man is so mature now that he almost didn't recognize him.

Kanda, the girl knows that it was only Sequence 2 at the beginning, and I didn't expect such a great improvement in seven years.

Roland Hill blinked, and the information was displayed in her mind.

Name: Kanda

Race: Orc (100% Rabbit Ear)

Status: Lord of the City of Slashing Snakes

Status: healthy (no abnormality)

Sequence: Original Sequence 5o Steel-Eating Sword (Evaluation: Excellent Gold Level)

talent:

[Stronger] (Excellent): The physique is tough, strong, and strong against blows.

ability:

【Iron Eater】(Excellent): Can absorb iron, strengthen bones, and also strengthen muscles. (Strong +1)

[Song of Courage] (Excellent): The loud and clear singing can boost the morale of allies, reduce fear, and slightly enhance strength.

[Sword of Broken Steel] (Excellent): You can attach your own magic power to the weapon to increase sharpness and toughness, and it has a miraculous effect on cutting steel.

skill:

[Tempering] (Excellent): A certain part of the muscle or tissue can be temporarily tempered to enhance resistance, but if the time is too long, it will cause irreversible damage to the body.

[Training Soldiers] (Excellent): He has organized and trained many recruits, and has his own set of experiences and methods.

This is a good material for a general, the girl thought to herself, and then copied the knowledge of the military formation and the art of war that she taught Pullman back then, and recorded it in a heritage gem.

"In this gem, the war techniques of the Mercury Dynasty were completely recorded as a reward for your promotion to Sequence 5."

A transparent gem flew out of the girl's hand and slowly landed in front of Kanda.

The warrior in steel armor excitedly held it in the palm of his hand and knelt down on one knee.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward, and I am willing to go through fire and water for His Highness, and I will do whatever you want!"

No wonder he was so excited. Back then, the Quicksilver Dynasty was famous for its viciousness. It fought in the north and south, starting from nothing, defeating ogres, orcs, elves, and so on.

It has been a war for nearly a thousand years, destroying countless races, and its military discipline, tactics, morale, and military strategy are unparalleled in the world. Even if they disintegrate due to their own internal reasons, other races will not dare to try their edge, that kind of reverence and harmony. Fear is almost carved into the enemy's bones.

Chapter 32 new tasks

After Loren Hill came back this time, he first summoned the city lords of various rabbit-eared cities to inquire, and then toured the Tissilan Mountains.

At present, there are 9 cities, 25 towns, and 87 villages of the Rabbit Ears. Compared with 7 years ago, it has expanded a lot. At that time, it was basically villages and life was difficult.

And under the circumstance of extremely abundant food these years, the Rabbit Ears have also multiplied very fast, from 20 at the beginning to nearly 50 today, although most of them are children, it is foreseeable that in a few years When this group of people grows up, the labor force will greatly increase.

What's more, these young rabbits have received basic education, they are well nourished and disciplined when they grow up, and their abilities in all aspects are much stronger than their parents' generation, and they will become the backbone of the entire race in the future Rising hope.

After spending 3 months visiting various cities one by one, Loren Hill formulated a plan for the next development of the Tissilan Mountains.

The first is to build roads and infrastructure. There was a propaganda in a previous life, "If you want to be rich, build roads first."

This sentence is actually very reasonable. Road construction can well integrate and exchange resources in various places, which can make the social division of labor clearer and greatly improve productivity.For example, some cities specialize in planting, some specialize in metallurgy, some specialize in manual manufacturing, and so on.

In this way, relevant talents can be concentrated, communication can be better, and technology can develop faster. Moreover, concentration will bring about a substantial increase in efficiency.

After the road is completed, there is the planning of the city. The appearance of a city often depends on its earlier planning, and it will be difficult to change it later.Wide streets, tidy houses, and unobstructed underground waterways can improve the overall efficiency and sanitation of the city.

The last is the cooperation with the extraordinary monsters. Many jobs are difficult to do with people, and the efficiency is extremely low, and the monsters will be very convenient with their talents.

Whether it is irrigation, mining, harvesting, metallurgy, etc., it can be said that Warcraft has undertaken the responsibilities of the large-scale machinery in memory to some extent.It is also more flexible, and understands human nature and can communicate.

After carefully crafting the plan, Roland Hill convened representatives from various cities to discuss and finalize various matters, and finally distribute the tasks.

And now, it was time for her to get out of the forest and go out and see the outside world.

-----

West Wind Kingdom, Seabuckthorn City.

On the streets of bluestone, water splashed, and it was raining lightly in the sky. From time to time on the road, people could be seen walking fast in the rain, and some people simply didn’t care about anything and let the rain wet their clothes. Anyway, they were already wet, and then It doesn't matter much.

A figure wearing a black hooded robe walked quietly in the rain. The fine raindrops kept falling from the clothes, but they never got wet. The two strands of silver hair sticking out from both sides of the hood showed that this should be a girl.

She walked unhurriedly, observing the exotic atmosphere.

Seabuckthorn City is located in the southern part of the kingdom, surrounded by a low field, which is rich in a kind of berry, seabuckthorn fruit. It was named after it in the early years. Later, after the independence of Vigal in the south, it became an important transportation between the West Wind Kingdom and the Vigal Commercial Alliance. The main road has also become prosperous, and there are many pedestrians and caravans coming and going.

Looking at the large and small hotels and shops on the street, Lorraine felt very fresh. These shops sold all kinds of things that interested her, including Luerna's alchemy tools, elves' brewing, and Gufia. of fur, verdant empire style clothing and jewelry, etc.The variety is very rich, and it is worthy of being the commercial center in the southern part of the kingdom.

Recently, the system released another task, and the reward was very attractive. She had to consider the age-old problem of making money.

Mission: Do not use any extraordinary power in the process, and earn 10 gold coins by yourself. (If it is used in the middle, the amount will be cleared and start from scratch)

Reward: Handbook of the Ring of Chaos (Crystal Grade), this ring has excellent breath blocking ability and comes with storage space.

The reward is the method of making this space ring. It doesn't matter if the breath blocks Roland Hill, but the storage space attached to it is very much wanted. No matter what you do, having this is a great convenience.

But the reality is that the space equipment in this world is very rare. Even in the Mercury Dynasty, there were only less than 10 pieces, and they were all non-reproducible and destroyed.

And the space equipment rewarded by the system, according to the description, can store 3000 cubic meters of items, which is very huge.

Therefore, after Loren Hill left the forest, the primary goal was to come to this important commercial town and find a way to complete the task.
