Not a Witch

"If you are compiling a history book, you must include the folk customs, culture, celebrities, and history of each place. This will be another benefit."

"Even if two people are separated by thousands of miles from the north to the south, after meeting one day, they will have an understanding of each other's hometown, so that there will be a sense of understanding and identity." Lorraine Hill said important things.

"Culture is the best bond. It enables people who don't know each other to recognize and understand each other. I know your past, you know my past, how our ancestors lived together on this land..."

"Just imagine, if one day there is going to be a war in the east of Clancia, the people in the west have no idea what the people in the east are like, what their living habits are, and what connection they have with themselves. Under such circumstances, it will be difficult for the people in the west to Those who care and care about the disaster in the east."

"But if he knows that the people in the east live in wooden attics, they are kind and hospitable, and the millet they eat in their homes is produced there. Under one roof, belong to one country."

"At this time, there will be a heart of common hatred and hatred. In this way, as time goes by, the domestic integration will become more and more familiar and close. After a few years, the people of this country will truly integrate into one."

The so-called five lakes and four seas are all brothers, and all sides support each other in difficulties. Only in this way can we call it a real country, not a fragile alliance built temporarily for their own interests.

Lorraine Hill narrated things that seemed to be taken for granted, while the recorder and other important officials on the side listened with a surge of emotion, as if opening a skylight.

Many years later, people from other countries never understood why Clancia, who was born just over ten years ago, had such a strong sense of identity.Perhaps this is the reason for everything.

But what this silver-haired sage girl didn't know was that her words were recorded in the education department's oath of employment, melting all people into one heart and casting a country into the world.The origins of many great and amazing things are often in those unknown corners

Chapter 12 Forest Stream

"When will the sage come back?" Parinsa looked at Lorraine Hill who had put on the black and silver robe again, and asked with her head lowered.

"About the beginning of next year, there are still some things that need to be dealt with." I can't say that I still have to go to school, the girl thought to herself.

In the past two years in Emenas, she has read a lot of books and met many students from other regions, so she has a better understanding of the world.It can be said that the harvest has been quite fruitful. If I hadn't agreed to Pullman's invitation this time, I am afraid that I would have stayed for five years as planned before leaving.

But the world is changing, and today's Crancia is in the early days of its founding, and many problems need to be resolved urgently.If some regulations and policies are not correct at the beginning, subsequent corrections will waste a lot of energy and resources, and many opportunities will be missed.

She had to put aside the people and things in the school for the time being and participate in the construction of Clancia first.

Still, there are promises to follow.Before the holiday, she promised Frocia that she would spend the winter festival party with her at the end of the year, so she had to stay at school for a while in the second half of the year.

"See you next year, Parinza."

Lorraine Hill waved and bid farewell to the Secretary-General.As for the others, she also said it before, and this time the separation time will not be too long, so there is no need to make it too formal.

"Goodbye, Lord Lorraine Hill."

Palinsha raised her skirt to salute, and then a breeze blew up, and the silver-haired girl disappeared into the blue sky.

The boundless wilderness and mountains undulate on the earth, and the river reflects the crystal light, adorning the earth like a streamer.With the warm summer wind blowing, Lorraine Hill looked at this magnificent mountain and river, and a burst of pride rose in his heart.

Even with all the scars and destruction, the world comes back to life and remains beautiful.

----------

A day later, Tisilan Mountains, Maple Leaf Garden.

As the air flow dissipated, the dress fell slowly, and Lorraine Hill returned to the home where she had been away for nearly a month.Taking off her coat and putting on light slippers, she flung herself on the big soft bed and rolled around with the pillow in her arms.

Still comfortable at home.

She lay on her back on the bed with her hands spread out, took off her slipper with one foot, and stepped on the bed.Looking at the wood-grained ceiling and recalling the experience of this month, it is really incredible.

Before she went out, she didn't think too much, she just wanted to see what Clancia looks like today, and whether Pullman has led the country in the right direction.

As a result, he was caught by the student and suddenly changed from a bystander to a participant.

It seems that she has been busy these years, but next time she goes to Clancia, she probably has to go on a tour of various counties and provinces to see the actual situation in each place, otherwise it would be too unrealistic.

In this way, she lay in bed and took a nap for a while, waking up in the afternoon.

After getting up, she took a small circle in her backyard, picked a few green cucumbers, and put them in a basket.

Under the summer sun, the colors in the forest are particularly distinct and bright. The tender green leaves sway with the branches in the breeze, and the crystal clear stream flows on the pebbles, making subtle and pleasant sounds.

With her arms outstretched, Lorraine Hill walked on the rocks by the stream, maintaining her balance. The warm summer wind in the forest carried a hint of coolness, causing her hair to flutter along with it.

After turning around a few tall redwoods and stones, she found a suitable location, put the basket in her hand into the stream, and then blocked it with a few pebbles to prevent the basket from being washed away by the water.And a few cucumbers in the basket are also soaked in the cool stream water, slowly filtering away the summer heat.

Simply blowing a large rock clean, Lorraine Hill sat on it, his white skirt was divided into mottled patterns by the sunlight in the shade.She took off the sandals on her feet and dipped her toes into the water, and a feeling of cold water flowed up her body along with her calves.

The girl watched her two feet rise and fall in the stream, splashing playfully.After playing like this for a while, I let it go.

She leaned on the sloping stone and looked at the leaves in the sky. The blue sky faintly peeked out from between the leaves, and a gust of wind blew, making rustling noises.

Close your eyes, the sound of birds chirping in the distant forest.

After a long time, she opened her eyes, and with a gust of wind, she floated up, and her body slowly landed on the place where the basket was placed before.

Take out the soaked cold cucumber, break it into two pieces with a crisp sound, and then take a bite, the cool and slightly sweet feeling will permeate the mouth.

In fact, she still peeled cucumbers when she was a child, because the cucumbers at that time were indeed green and yellow, with a smooth surface, and they were thicker and rounder, which was inconvenient to chew.Later, there was only one type of cucumber on the market, that is, the slender one with small serrations on the surface. The advantage of this kind of cucumber is that it can be eaten without peeling, and it feels like a popsicle.

After eating a few cucumbers, Lorraine Hill took out his fishing rod, sat on the stone and started fishing idlely.Of course it would be faster for her to catch the fish directly, but that would be no fun.

In the depths of the stream, a few fallen leaves floated across the water surface, the white quills undulated on the water surface, and the bait below swayed back and forth under the touch of the swimming fish. The silver-haired girl on the side looked curiously at the palm-length river fish , I was thinking whether to steam or braise tonight.

The decision is yours.

The fishing line was pulled up in the air, and an orange-red carp (king?) jumped out of the water and landed on the grass beside it. Its tail kept rolling, and its body bounced and fell on the ground.

The carp king uses water splash jump, the effect is unusual.

Lorraine Hill came over, squatted aside and put the basket beside her. Looking at the carp, she poked it with her finger, and then the carp jumped up vigorously, soaring to a height of more than 500 millimeters above the ground, and then Fall into the basket that has been waiting for a long time.

That's nice so you don't have to get your hands sticky.

Carrying the basket, Lorraine Hill walked towards the direction of the hut where he lived, and began to prepare today's dinner.

At night, she flipped through the recipes stored in the system, looking at the browned fish bodies fried in China, and flipping them with a spatula from time to time.

"Well, well, this time I need to add some pepper, garlic, chili..."

The auxiliary ingredients are sprinkled into the pot, and with the sound of oil sizzling, a burst of fragrance comes out of the pot.

"Then add boiling water, simmer for a while, sprinkle some green mysterious substance, and then it's ready."

Holding a wooden bowl to serve a bowl of white glutinous soft rice, the girl sat next to the tumbling pot with chopsticks, waiting for a while.

Stretch out the chopsticks and take a small bite. The deliciousness of the fish, the slight numbness of the pepper, and the aroma of the pepper overflowed the taste buds.

Cooking is really fun.

Chapter 13 Sewing Dolls

Before leaving school, Lorraine Hill stayed in the Maple Leaf Garden to rest.

These days, if she is free, she will take a walk in the mountains, look around, and occasionally lie on a high branch to look at the books stored in the system.

Those classics and records are projected by the system like physical book pages, which can be read and viewed in hand.

In addition to some important materials, she would occasionally look for film and television literature works that she hadn't finished watching, whether there was a follow-up part back then, which can be regarded as satisfying her unfulfilled wish.

The days passed leisurely, and after a period of rest, she thought of going to see the neighbor not far away, that is, Princess Mononoke who woke up from a deep sleep, Yixue Green.

Bringing the specially made candy in her recent leisure time, the girl walked in the wind, over the blue-black mountains and canyons in the Mountains of Sighs, and came to a mirror-like lake.

There is still an ice-blue beehive on the cliff by the lake, in which the ice-flame bees come and go, coming in and out under the sun, occasionally making the sound of their wings vibrating.

The lake under the cliff is like a sapphire falling into the sea of ​​flowers. Those ice calendulas sway with the wind, day after day, as if there is no end in sight.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, Yi Xue expanded the sea of ​​flowers so much.

Lorraine Hill carried the basket and slowly landed on the surface of the lake, with his toes stepping on the light blue transparent lake water, a burst of ripples spread, and then the lake water slightly sank in, and a constantly swimming bubble wrapped the girl and dived into the water with her.

Under the icy lake, the water temperature is close to zero, and it is not as hot as the summer outside. Lorraine Hill looked at the quiet crystal coffin in the ice flower at the bottom of the water, and tapped it lightly with his hand.

A translucent girl separated from the body in the coffin. She passed through the icy lake, transparent bubbles, and stroked Lorraine Hill's face with her hands, making the latter feel sober and cold.

"I'm here to see you, Yishe Green." Lorraine Hill read, and then two figures rose from the bottom of the lake and jumped out of the water.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you come here once a year."

"Well, a lot of things have happened this year." Lorraine Hill rolled the hair next to her ear a little embarrassedly, explaining that she was going to school.

"Go to school? What's life like at school, will there be a lot of people?"

Yixue Green was very interested in this. She had never been to school before she was alive. She lived in the deep palace for most of her life, and only went out with the army for a short time before her death. It was the best part of her life.

Lorraine Hill described all kinds of exciting activities in the college, students and customs and cultures in various regions, which made Yi Xuegreen feel yearning after hearing it.

"If only I could go to the school and see it," she said.

"Okay, if there is anything you want to do, just do it." Lorraine Hill took out a transparent sugar bowl from the basket beside it, and there were colorful candies wrapped in sugar paper.

"It's like candy. After you peel it off, you can only know what it tastes like when you put it in your mouth. Maybe there are things you don't like, but you can also find something you like."

The two sat on the sloping hillside, looking at the lake below, Lorraine Hill handed the sugar bowl to Yishe Green.

"This is for you. These candies are made by myself. They have different tastes and effects. Try them."

Yi Xuegelin took the candy. Although she is a ghost, due to her strong ability, she gradually recovered after a year, and now she is the existence of Necromancer Sequence 8. In this way, the condensed entity and the perception of taste, It's not hard to do either.

"Thank you."

Yi Xuegelin peeled off one of the white candy wrappers, revealing a small amber-like cube, and a slightly sweet smell filled the air.She put it into her mouth and tasted it slowly, and a different kind of sweetness spread out.

"I made this with maple syrup, how about it?"

Seeing that Yixue Green didn't know what maple syrup was, Lorraine Hill gestured in the air with his hands to explain.

It is a tree with pentagonal leaves. Every autumn, the leaves will turn red, like a burning sunset, sprinkled from the sky, and the sap in its trunk is also very sweet...

In this way, Yixue Green peeled off candies of different colors one by one, and listened to Lorraine Hill's detailed description. This sat for a whole day, until the bright moon was in the sky, insects were singing everywhere, and the night breeze was cool.

"Thank you, Lorraine, for coming to see me." It was time to part again.

Looking at the Princess Mononoke standing on the lake, Lorraine Hill said.

"Would you like to go to the academy with me? Although you can't enroll, you can meet a lot of people there, and there are many close relatives of ice elves, forest elves."

"Really? Can I go too?"

The Princess Mononoke circled the girl with some joy, and then hugged Lorraine Hill.

"Then thank you Lorraine!"

After agreeing to take Yixue Green to the academy, the two of them thought about the solution for a while, and finally Lorraine Hill decided to make another puppet just like that little bear.

Taking Yixue Green back to the Maple Leaf Garden, the Princess Mononoke looked at everything around her curiously.She hovered around the huge amber maple leaf, making bursts of surprised cries.

"This may have the potential to become the next generation of World Tree." She said the same judgment as Lorraine Hill before.
