Not a Witch

She carefully felt the feeling of happiness, and then opened the candy paper in her hand. There was a clear pattern printed on the beige candy paper.It was an apple as golden as the setting sun. Below the apple were three small translucent squares, whose colors were red, blue, and green.

Even an ordinary candy paper gives people a delicate feeling.

With her fingers, she slowly smoothed out the folds on the top, feeling the sweet wrapper that still had a scent.

"Do you like it? I have several in my collection and I can give it to you as a souvenir." Sophie's familiar voice sounded in Jena's ear, and the feeling of exhaling made her ears a little itchy.

Jena wanted it a little bit, but she was also a little embarrassed. She felt that she had received a lot of favors for nothing, and she still asked others to ask for it.

"Wait a mininute."

Sophie's warm body suddenly stood up, trotted away, and headed for the tent group in the distance.

Jena wanted to speak, but the other party had already walked away.

Near noon, under the fierce white sunlight, Sophie walked through the paths between several tents, greeted the people around, and then disappeared into a tent.

After seeing her disappear, Jena felt a little empty in her heart. She only knew Sophie in the vicinity or in this camp. How would she explain it if other people came over.

Fortunately, this feeling didn't last long, and Sophie quickly got out of the tent.She waved to Jena from a distance, and then trotted over.

"Look, this is all I collected."

She put a booklet into Jena's hands. The cover of this light booklet has stars and the seal of the book. When it is opened, there are pale yellow paper pages inside.Jena pressed her fingers on it, feeling delicate and smooth to the touch,

With Sophie helping to turn it aside, the candy wrapper sandwiched in the paper soon appeared in Jena's eyes.

Different patterns are printed on each white candy paper, they are colorful, different in form, and have clear lines.

"First of all, common fruits." Sophie pointed to one of them and said.These candies are printed with various fruits, including green oranges, red pomegranates, yellow pomelo, white jade grapes, deep purple mulberries and so on.There are also short words below the pattern, indicating what the fruit is.

"There are several sets of animals in the back..." Sophie flipped through the booklet, and candy wrappers of various colors and patterns appeared one by one, including animals, castles, buildings, fruits, as well as extraordinary staff, strange monsters, etc. .

...

"This one is Dire Night Wolf, the one behind is Lan Jinhu, oh yes, there is also this Green Feather Phoenix, this one is what I asked for from the head maid with rabbit ears, it is very rare."

"I didn't collect all of the last set. I asked everyone in the caravan, and there are only a few of them."

While Sophie was talking, she opened the last few pages of the booklet, and a few special candy wrappers fell from the paper. The patterns in them were extremely delicate and completely different from the previous ones.

One is a woman sitting under the vine trellis, she looks peaceful, smiling, wearing a garnet red dress, has long green hair like leaves, holding a bunch of wheat ears in her hand, and the bottom of the sugar paper reads With 'abundance'.

One is a girl playing music on the rocks in the sea. She has beautiful long blue hair, her eyes are slightly closed, and she is gently stroking the strings in her hands. Fishes of various colors surround her in the sea. 'Ocean' is written on the bottom of the candy wrapper.

One is a girl sitting in front of a vanity mirror. She has blond curly hair and is surrounded by a girly room. The girl is wearing a white dress with pink hairpins around her ears, and she is sitting in the mirror There is a girl with the same face outside the mirror, but she is wearing a black dress, the hairpins around her ears are also blue, and the bottom of the candy wrapper says 'mirror'.

The last one is a woman holding a long sword to a kneeling knight, who is undergoing a canonization ceremony. This ordinary dressed knight is gradually forming an exquisite steel armor, and the long sword in the woman's hand is gradually changing from wooden It turned into steel with cold light, spreading from the hilt to the tip of the sword, and the bottom of the candy paper read 'Silver Iron'.

"What are these?" Jena turned curiously to the girl next to her.

"These are witches in ancient legends. They are living myths and legends. It is said that the name of the chamber of commerce that gave us candies also comes from a certain witch."

"It's beautiful, but it's a pity that I only have four here. If I have money in the future, I must go to the Lagertes Chamber of Commerce to find the eldest lady and ask her to give me a full set of witch candy wrappers."

"Because it's so beautiful."

"I don't know what sad things you have encountered, and I don't know how to comfort you, but I want to tell you that although there are many uncomfortable and bad things in this world, there are still many things worth looking forward to and chasing. s things."

"Our chamber of commerce is the same. When the west wind was still there, life was very difficult, but everyone survived. Now the era of Clancia is much better."

Seeing Jena's silence, Sophie was a little anxious.

"I'm sorry, I'm a bit stupid, and what I said may not be what you think at all, but, but...I saw you lying on the side of the road that day with scars all over your body. It was really hard."

"What I said may also be difficult for others, but...but...but, even if I have suffered a lot of injuries, suffered a lot of grievances, and even if I am not believed by others, I still have to get up and not be discouraged, so that I can find what I want most. Candy to eat."

"Come on, Jena."

The last cry in this ear was like a flash of lightning splitting into the girl's mind, causing her to wake up suddenly and look at the girl of the same age in front of her.

Sophie, who was the same age as her, had no magic power or extraordinary power on her body. Her hands were full of traces of labor, and the corners of the rough linen coat were washed white, and the corners also had traces of wear, so ordinary and full of sunshine. .

Although Sophie didn't know all the worries in Jena's heart, she was still moved by these sincere words, like warm hands smoothing out the repressed and tangled wrinkles in her heart.

Feeling the hands encircling her, Jena closed her eyes slightly, with such thoughts in her heart.

Even though his strength is already at the top among his peers, he is far inferior to this girl in terms of strength.

Hasn't she already seen everything in her hometown? In fact, she already had an idea in her heart, but she has been avoiding this idea all along, because she feels that she can't do it and can't afford it.

And now, she finally stopped avoiding this idea.

Yes, as the uncle said, this field has long been rotten, overgrown with weeds and pests, how can it be changed.

The only way is to wipe out everything with fire and sword, just like Clancia after the west wind, and let it be reborn.

I am not strong enough to ignore everything, but this is not a reason to stop.

If you don’t have enough strength, you can persuade more people to join you. If you fail once, try again. Even a small spark must be burned. Only in this way can everyone see hope, so that more people will turn to this direction .

"Thank you."

Chapter 63 Picking and Flying

Crancia, in an unknown mountain village.

Jena sat on a high wooden ladder, took the scissors in her hand and cut off ripe apples one by one, and dropped them on the soft cushion below, and then was taken out by a girl and placed in a fruit basket beside her.

"There's another one over there, Jena." Sophie pointed in a direction below.

"Okay." Jena turned her head, pushed aside the branches and leaves, and looked for the light yellow apple hidden in it.

After two days of brief recovery, Jena was able to get out of bed and walk around. Although one arm is still not well, the other arm can also do many things.

She didn't want to be too idle, but also wanted to do something to repay the rescue of the Lake Chamber of Commerce, so Sophie and her helped the villagers pick apples.The caravan can't stay for too long, otherwise the fruit will be damaged when it is shipped out, so the manpower required for picking is also relatively tight.

After the caravan negotiated with the villagers, they helped the villagers to pick them, so as to offset part of the purchase price. Only in this way did such a scene happen.

In sunny and sunny weather, the leaves of the apple are dense and slightly tilted, and the cross-section is like a V shape. Among the dark green leaves are conspicuous yellow fruits, and the branches that bear more fruit even bend the branches down.

Jena held the iron scissors, poked into the thick branches and leaves, cut off the fruit stalks, let them fall one by one, and Sophie put them away again.

After picking an area, she will come down, and then the two will work together to move the wooden ladder to another area to continue picking.

As the sun rises and the weather gets hotter, she also wipes the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand when she cuts off the stalks and picks them.

After picking another fruit tree, Sophie said from below.

"Take a break, it's almost time for lunch."

"Ah."

Jena nodded, put down her sore arms, and looked at the basket full of yellow apples under the shade of the tree, feeling a little satisfied in her heart.A gust of wind blows from a distance, taking away some sweat and making her feel cool.

She slowly climbed down the ladder, and Sophie stepped forward, supported her slightly, and helped to dust off her body.

"Tired?" asked the light brown and sunny girl.

"Fortunately."

Jena felt it. Although her arms were a little sore, but with the blessing of the war sequence, her physical fitness was much higher than that of ordinary people. Coupled with the assistance of magic power, it was not very uncomfortable.

"That's great. If it were me, I'd be unable to lift my hand after picking it for an hour." Sophie said enviously.

"Want to learn? I can teach you." Jena said with a smile. In the past two days, she has also become more cheerful.

"That, it will take a lot of time, it will delay you."

"If it's something basic, it won't take long." Jena shook her head.

"Then thank you." Sophie said happily.

"Haha, you're welcome, on the contrary, I want to thank you."

The two girls leaned against the apple tree to rest, talking to each other about interesting things, and occasional brisk laughter dissipated in the green grass-like breeze.

The yard where Lorraine Hill lives, Needle.

"Master Sage, shall we fly today?"

In the morning, as soon as Lorraine Hill woke up from sleep, Mira pushed the door excitedly and came in. Since getting acquainted these days, this rabbit-eared girl has become less and less an outsider.

"Does Mira like flying airships?" The silver-haired girl sat up from the comfortable bed and rubbed her eyes.

"I like it very much, because I can see many scenery that I have never seen before. I like the feeling of walking in the wind very, very much." Mira came to Lorraine Hill's bed in small steps, and looked at it expectantly with a pair of eyes. she.

"Okay, okay, let's have something to eat before we start, and we just finished drawing the map today."

During this period of time, the two were driving the airship, Mira was at the controls, and Lorraine Hill was drawing the map of Ned County.

A map is a very useful thing, no matter development, construction, or military, it is very necessary. After re-engraving the airship, Lorraine Hill had the idea of ​​​​drawing a map one day.

Now the intermittent ones are almost done, but I didn't want Mira to gradually like the feeling of flying at high altitudes. I originally wanted to scare her, which made Lorraine Hill a little unexpected.

But it has to be said that Mira is indeed talented in this area. Those long rabbit ears not only enhance her sense of space and control balance with ease, but also can keenly perceive the direction of the breeze, allowing her to avoid and take advantage of high altitudes. airflow.

What a born airship pilot.

After figuring out the reason, Lorraine Hill had to sigh.

After eating a simple oatmeal breakfast, the two boarded the somewhat fat carp airship again. With the activation of the suspension device, the airship wobbled into the air, and then moved under the action of the sails.

Under the clear blue sky, Lorraine Hill was sitting in the cabin wearing a white dress, overlooking the vast world below, her silver hair fluttering in the air, and the whistling wind could be heard in her ears.

She took a silver needle pen and sketched briskly on the white paper with grids, and one by one mountain peaks, roads, rivers, and villages appeared on the paper.The white fingers landed on the paper, which was a little whiter than the white paper.

When people on the ground see this orange-red airship, some people will stop and wave to it, expressing their admiration and surprise.

A river flows quietly among the mountains, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds like a smooth mirror.

The airship that Lorraine Hill and Mira took turned around several peaks and valleys, overlooking the scenery below.

"There seemed to be a crowd gathering there."

Mira freed one finger to point to a place below. There was a mountain depression, which seemed to be the entrance of a mine. At this time, many people were gathering, and some people rode horses one after another from the distant mountain road. Come here.

"Let's go down." Lorraine Hill seemed to hear something.

"Ok."

Mira nodded, and gradually weakened the magic power input of the suspension device, and the airship slowly landed on the open space beside it under its control.

The two opened the side door at the bottom and walked towards the place where the crowd gathered, and there was a sound of discussion.
