Not a Witch

The logo of the Chamber of Commerce is a golden apple and three square candies. The colors of the candies are red, blue, and green, and the three are different. It looks a bit like a fairy tale.

The source of its name is naturally the deceased Candy Witch. After obtaining Lagertes' diary and the golden apple, Lorraine Hill also inherited most of the legacy of this Candy Witch. While remembering her, I also hope Honor the Candy Witch with this name.

---------

After the team set off, they first passed directly through the prosperous central provinces, and then gradually slowed down when they reached the provinces near the north, and began to do some transactions.

Lorraine Hill was sitting in the carriage, watching the scenery outside the car window. On the continuous blue plain, the ground undulated like soothing waves.Slices of square blue fields, under the breeze, various crops sway with the wind, showing the green buds and young leaves of spring.

"Where is this side?"

"This is one of the three counties saved by Wind's Breath, Baimu County. Not far ahead, it should be the capital of Baimu County, Eft City." A maid next to her replied respectfully.

"Have you been here before?" Lorraine Hill turned his head and asked curiously.

"Well, my uncle used to be the lord of Eft." The maid answered cautiously.

Well, it seems that the backgrounds of these maids are not simple, but with such half locals, it will be much more convenient to understand some things.Lorraine Hill shook her head, her golden hair was blown in the breeze, making her feel a little cool.

It is now the end of February, winter is not yet over, and the weather is still a bit cold. Fortunately, there is a small stove in the carriage, which is relatively warm.

It was already evening when the carriage drove into the city gate, and the team came in after checking the goods and personnel on the carriage.

After walking around for a while, they found a larger hotel to stay in. It was close to the market in the city, and it was quite lively even at night.

Since the establishment of Crancia, the security in the country has been much better than before. Even at night, everyone can rest assured to go out to play. While relaxing, it also promotes consumption in the city.

In a bar not far from the market.

Some people here after get off work or after work, drinking cheap ale, bragging and chatting about the latest affairs.Most of them are men, wearing leather jacket vests and simple long-sleeved trousers, and a few women are either female workers nearby or adventurers with weapons.

The profession of adventurers has always existed in the world of Ivar. Most of them will help deal with some weak monster attacks, or be hired as guards. A few elites will also participate in the exploration of some ruins. Generally speaking, their strength is not strong.

Generally, it is a transitional occupation used by many Transcendents. Once they reach Sequence 5, they will naturally join a better organization or institution.

"Miss, do you really want to come here?" A girl with rabbit ears followed a young lady in a blond hunting suit into the bar. Turn around and take a look.

This blond beauty in a hunting suit looked very young, and her fair and calloused hands seemed to come from a good family.

The fleece collar and high-quality fabric also show that the clothes are exquisitely made, and you can tell that they are worth a lot of money.

This is probably some young lady who came out to play, the people in the bar watched this scene and secretly guessed.Tsk tsk, if it was before, such a silly white sweet lady would be cheated sooner or later, and suffer a lot.But now is the era of Clancia, even if she lied to this eldest lady, her family will pursue her later, the country's judicial department is lacking in performance.

Some people in the bar looked at it for a while, then turned their heads away, continued drinking and chatting, and stopped paying attention to the young lady.

Is this the bar in an ordinary city in Crancia?

Even though he is called a sage, Lorraine Hill's mental age is not too old. Coupled with the influence of fantasy and stories in his previous life, he is naturally curious about the bar, a place where adventurers and heroes gather. Today I also ran over to take a look.

After her appearance was processed by the pendant given by Tides, her appearance became much more ordinary. Coupled with the change in hair color, most people would really not be able to recognize that this is the Star Witch of Clancia.

After Lorraine Hill and Mira sat down, a bartender came over and asked.

"What does this lady need?"

Chapter 33 The Female Adventurer

"Let me see, is there a menu?"

The girl looked at the scene in the bar for a while, wanting to see what everyone was drinking.

Most people have plain bread, drink vegetable soup, and then add a few slices of sliced ​​smoked sausage, which is tonight's dinner.

Compared with what she had seen in Hopeland, the food here was cheaper, about 20 copper coins for an ordinary dinner.

Although the taste is mediocre and there is no seasoning, these post-workers don't care too much, they eat everything when they are hungry.

The cold outdoor can be said to be a natural refrigerator. After the beer has been cold for half a day, it is moved back indoors, just like after it has been chilled.

As the bartender turned on the small tap, there was a sound of clear liquid flowing, and the transparent liquid was poured into wooden cups with a slight aroma of wine, and then placed on a tray and brought to each table.

This iced thick ale is the biggest pastime for many people tonight, and the refreshment after drinking it makes the hard work of the day seem to be worth it.

"Give me one too." Looking at the items on the menu, the girl didn't order those extravagant ingredients. Instead, she ordered an ordinary dinner like everyone else. She came this time to see what Klancia is today Depending on the situation in various places, it is natural to try the food and beverages of ordinary people in the local area.

"OK, wait."

Although curious about how simple the young lady's order was, the bartender turned around and left without asking any further questions.

While sitting and waiting, Rezia, also known as Lorraine Hill, also listened to what everyone was talking about in the bar.

"Have you heard that, recently, the higher-ups will issue a conscription notice, and it is said that they will prepare for war."

"I know this. It seems to be a conflict between the South and Frost Rose."

"I really want to go. After all, Clancia doesn't deduct military pay like the noble lords did in the past. The treatment and food have always been good."

"Haha, that's true. One of my nephews, after going to the army, he feels that he has gained a lot of weight. In fact, he was too thin before."

"It's a pity that there is an age requirement for this conscription. I guess I won't be able to be selected. Now I can only contribute to the rear at most."

"Generally speaking, there is still hope now, not like worrying about various things before."

"Yeah, I used to be very careful when sending out money. I hid it in a corner of the house, lest some local hooligans sneak in. Even if you do a small business, you have to pay all kinds of protection fees. Can do it."

"Public security has improved, so I can feel at ease in everything I do, and I can sleep well every day. Hey, it's not easy. No wonder that group of people wanted to revolt back then. If I knew this, who would want to follow Xifeng?"

"Haha, I feel that if Clancia can be maintained like this for a few more years, no one will respond to the group of nobles in West Wind who want to restore it."

"Speaking of which, I have forgotten the name of the previous city lord. It has only been two years since I heard people scolding me every day."

"That said, I can't remember it for a while." Several middle-aged men sat together and laughed.

"Your order is here." The bartender placed two plates in front of Leizia and Mira.

"Thank you."

Rezia looked at the cuboid-shaped bread, hesitated for a moment, turned to look at the person next to her, and then stretched out her hand to grab a small piece.

It turned out that there were no knives and forks here, she sighed secretly in her heart, they were all picked up and eaten directly with her hands.

The bread is not soft, but a little hard. Fortunately, it is not so hard to swallow when it is mixed with vegetable soup, but it is basically tasteless.

While Leizia was eating dinner slowly, four travel-worn people came in. They were men and women. Seeing that there were no vacancies in the bar, they separated to find a place to sit down.

"Hello, is there anyone here?" A woman asked carelessly, but the calm demeanor was so calm that it made people not easy to get angry.

"No." Rezia shook her head, and then looked at the big sword on her back, which was still wrapped with non-slip cloth strips.

After sitting down, the woman untied the sword from her back and placed it beside the table, allowing Rezia and Mira to look at it for a while.

The sword body looks like it should be made of fine steel, it is quite heavy, and there are small sawtooth gaps on it, but the edge is very sharp, it can be seen that it is often used.

After ordering, the female adventurer looked at Rezia and said with a smile. "Haha, is this the first time seeing this young lady?"

"Yes."

Rezia nodded. Previously, Hoplander was a commercial center with a dense population around it. There had been no traces of monsters for a long time, and there were naturally fewer adventurers. people.

"It seems that you don't usually go out much." This adventurer in his 30s is in his prime. Although he is a woman, he has a lot of muscle in his arms. He looks like an old hand.

"Can you tell me about your daily adventures?" Rezia was a little curious. Although she had good strength, she didn't travel to many places.

"This... is also fine, but you have to make my dinner today, otherwise I don't have the energy to talk so much."

"Yes." Rezia naturally does not lack this little money now.

"Haha, thank you, Miss." She said quite boldly.

"Actually, in our business, we also run around looking for work. After all, there are not monsters everywhere, and there is no place that has the money to afford us."

Then she started talking about her own experience.

This female adventurer is named Pauline. She was a little talented when she was a child. She learned swordsmanship from the local extraordinary school, and later gradually participated in the crusade against some monsters.Generally speaking, the local Extraordinary faction would allow newcomers from their own faction to participate in the training, and she gradually became familiar with and got to know a group of people in this way.

After getting married, because she was dissatisfied with the tedious life after marriage and had no children, she ran out and became an adventurer by herself. In her own words, that is to live freely and happily.

Although they only have the strength of Sequence 3 now, relying on their rich experience and the cooperation of their companions, they can occasionally hunt some weak Sequence 4 monsters. When completing local commissions, they can also cut off the materials from the monsters and sell them for money.

"Generally speaking, the group of mages in the east buys more. Generally, we will entrust our familiar friends to transport them to Luerna to sell."

In this way, if you do a big ticket, kill a Sequence 4 monster, you can rest for half a year, don't worry about food and drink, and if you are lucky, you can change some equipment.

Rezia nodded, and then looked at the two-handed long sword on the table, based on the analysis of her carrying system.This sword should be an excellent bronze grade, which is not bad for ordinary extraordinary people.

"Where are you going recently?"

"Recently. I heard that a few rock-piercing worms appeared in Nied County in the north and collapsed several mines. Now the Crancia officials organize their own staff, and even call some adventurers to go there."

"Because this kind of monster travels underground, its whereabouts are erratic, and it is very difficult to deal with, so the rewards are relatively rich."

"I see." Rezia nodded, thinking about the travel route of her caravan, which happened to be in Ned County, so let's go and have a look at it then.

Chapter 34 Bustling Bazaar

"Hey, let's take a look, the fur coat on the northern grasslands is warm and comfortable~"

"The yellow durian fruit with frost is delicious and cheap."

"The red altar pickled fish in the south is absolutely delicious, with a new recipe and a new taste."

All kinds of cries came and went in the market, and there were many customers standing in front of the stalls, bargaining with the bosses.

Eft is the capital of Baimu County, and the market here is naturally very bustling. Residents of many small cities around here will occasionally take a carriage to buy things, and then bring them back to the town or village where they live.

Compared with those fixed shops, the things sold in the market will be slightly cheaper, and there will be more styles, and many merchants will drag goods from other places to sell here.

Rezia was wearing a hunting suit that was easy to move, and walked in the market with a few people, looking at the goods on the surrounding stalls.Some of the people behind them kept memorizing the types of goods they saw along the way, as well as their approximate prices.

"How do you look, you guys?"

"Miss, the prices here are a bit different compared to the central provinces." A young man from the Ministry of Commerce replied.

"The salted fish in the south is a bit more expensive, and the price of major grains such as wheat and millet is not bad, but the price of animal meat is a bit cheaper."

"Yeah, it's food."

Rezia looked at the red meat on the wooden table beside it, and there were a few pieces of ice scattered around it, which should have been transported from other places.

Baimu County has gradually approached the mountains in the east and north of Clancia, and the number of wild beasts has also increased. In addition, the weather is slightly cold at present, so fresh meat from there can be transported over there and sold at a good price instead of being made into meat. smoked sausage.

At present, there is no large-scale animal husbandry in Clancia. Except for horses in some areas, most of the plains are mainly planted with grains.The reason is also simple, the direct output of growing grain is high, and the output of animal husbandry is low.

But it's not that there is no way to improve it, the girl recalled some experiences in her previous life.
