Not a Witch

The carriage was running on the road between the hills, its speed was very fast, and the wheels kept bumping along with the stones. Fortunately, its structure was considered strong, so it did not fall apart.

After Lorraine Hill came to this world, although he often made carriages, this was the first time he saw a carriage driving like this.

She hugged the puppet in front of her, sat up slightly, and kept her back away from the constantly shaking chair back.

There are only three people in the compartment at the moment, the 'Black Bull' is driving in front, the 'Makeup Artist' is looking in the mirror at the moment, and the 'Red Top Hat' on the opposite side is pulling out the rapier hidden in the crutch, and wiping it carefully with a white cloth.

Although it was very faint, Lorraine Hill could still smell a faint smell of blood.

Seeing Lorraine Hill staring at his rapier in a daze, the captain in a black dress showed a standard smile.

"Does the 'Puppet Master' have any means of self-protection? Although you don't need to fight on the front line, I still want to know about the combat effectiveness of the team members in advance, so as to avoid loopholes in the future arrangements."

"Yixue will protect me." The girl replied, revealing the puppet in her arms. The puppet raised its head, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in its pupils, as if it were a living thing.

Is it Necronomicon Sequence 5? He estimated the girl's strength, and judging by the fluctuation of her magic power, he should practice the Necronomicon Sequence.This is a good thing. If you encounter some newly dead targets in the future, you can try to summon some information.

The puppet in her hand should be her necromancer creation, it seems to be some kind of special ghost, so it will save a lot of worry.

"Is this the first time 'Muppet Maker' has been on a mission?" The 'Makeup Artist' on the side put down the mirror and asked the girl beside him.

"Yes." The girl buried her face in the puppet in her arms.

"In this case, sister will have to take good care of you, giggling." The member who looked like a noble lady let out an exaggerated laugh.

Seeing that the blue-haired girl on the opposite side said nothing, 'Red Top Hat' spoke.

"Don't be afraid, although the 'makeup artist' smiles a bit creepy, but he is a soft-hearted and gentle person."

The girl blinked in disbelief. People who laugh like this are usually the villains in the story.

It's okay to treat familiar people, but it's the first time to go out and complete tasks with strangers who don't know at all, which makes Lorraine Hill still a little restrained, she is not the kind of familiar character.Although he is called a sage, he has no real feeling.

Having said so much, she is actually not good at communication, not because she is afraid of being bullied by others, but because she doesn't know what to say.If there is business, she can chat with others about business, but it is a bit difficult for her to find a topic on her own initiative.

Looking at the girl sitting in the car like a big hamster, 'Red Top Hat' shook his head slightly, it seemed that this new member was a little shy.But this is not a bad thing. With her personality, she should be more disciplined and will not act without authorization and cause all kinds of troubles.

Recalling the various teammates in the previous mission, many of them were troublesome, but this time the teammates were much more reliable, which made him secretly relieved.

The "makeup artist" has worked with him a few times, and he is quite reassuring, while the "black cow" is a rare fighter with both muscles and brains, with a meticulousness that does not match his appearance.

As for himself...'Red Top Hat' secretly guessed that this mission should be very important, otherwise he wouldn't have called together a few outstanding members.

The so-called specialization in the art industry, in terms of combat strength in the church, there are many people who surpass the Judgment Division, but they are still the best at special tasks.

There was silence in the carriage, and only the sound of the carriage could be heard. The scenery outside the window gradually changed from a dark green forest to a gentle field, and patches of rye appeared on the side of the road, which is a characteristic product of the Dominican parish.

Although the yield is not as good as that of wheat, rye is cold-resistant and does not require much land. A large area of ​​this crop is planted in the parish to the south of the sanctuary.

"It's almost here, Eserut City." The 'makeup artist' said through the car window looking at the city wall on the plain in the distance.

As the big city of the Dominican Diocese, it is relatively prosperous, with about 10 people living in the city, and there are many villages around it, planting land to support the city.

A small river flows down from the Baiya Plateau in the north, passes through the city, winds towards the west, and ends at the Sunset Sea on the west side of the mainland.

An hour later, the four of them entered the city in a carriage, and they found a quiet hotel.

After a brief dinner, 'Red Top Hat' called several other people to his room.

He took out a map and spread it on the table, and began to explain the goals of this operation.

"This is the town of Merlin, which is located on the northwest side of the city of Eserut. We will continue along the road until we reach the capital of Dominica on the west side, and then turn back to create a road from the west to the Holy Mountain. appearance."

"The beer in the small town of Merlin is very famous in this parish. They hold a beer festival at the end of May every year. At that time, we just took advantage of the festival to enter the town and be with other tourists, so that it will not arouse suspicion."

"After arriving in the small town, visit normally for the first two days, familiarize yourself with the environment first, and then inquire about news, abnormalities, etc."

"Try to work in pairs, not alone."

"Although the target is an unintelligent chaotic phantom, this time it may not be a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. It may not be simple to dare to do such a thing in the sanctuary, and there may be a deeper underground organization."

"The reason why the knights were not sent to directly destroy it is also because the high-level officials want to find out the organization behind it."

"If you encounter an invincible opponent during the mission and cannot solve it with the strength of our team, you can directly ask for help from the Knights of the Dominican Diocese. There are about [-] holy spear knights stationed there, which is enough to wipe out any underground organization in the territory. .”

"Try to go out as little as possible these days, and wear plain clothes. After arriving at the capital of Dominia on the west side, I will change into the set clothes."

Seeing several people nodding their heads, he put away the map after getting a general understanding.

"Let's take a good rest now, and we will continue our journey tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he removed the sound-proof barrier that he had just released casually, and several people also left the room.

At night, Lorraine Hill and the 'makeup artist' sleep in the same room.

After taking a bath, Lorraine Hill walked into the room wearing light blue pajamas, and there were still some drops of water on the hair, dripping between the collarbones.

After entering the room, she saw the makeup artist combing her hair.After removing her makeup at night, the 20-something looks different than she did during the day.

Compared with the flamboyant one during the day, she is quieter at this moment, and her eyebrows and appearance are much softer.

"Good evening, Alice." She didn't look back, and continued to manage her hair.

"Good evening, makeup...Margaret." Remembering the setting of the day, Lorraine Hill changed his words and gave the woman's alias.

"Hehe, are you still not used to it? This is true, after all, it is the first time." She turned around.

"Come and sit here with me. It will still grow tonight. If you go to bed too early, your hair will be deformed."

The orange candle light roughly illuminated the room, and Lorraine Hill walked to the bedside and sat down in his slippers, looking at the woman who was tidying up the mirror.

The white and clean profile was divided by the shadows under the candlelight. Although there was no peerless appearance, there was a trace of sympathetic loneliness between the brows.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Why don't you talk anymore, are you surprised by my appearance?" The 'makeup artist' put down the comb in his hand, turned around, and showed a smile similar to that in the daytime, but the loneliness just now didn't seem to exist.

"Okay, I'm not joking with you anymore, I guess you're not used to this." She shook her head, then looked at the blue-haired girl sitting by the bed.

The root of the hair is silvery, and the tail is blue. The middle is like a gradient of starlight, which is very beautiful.

I don't know who from the headquarters designed the hairstyle and dress for this girl so conspicuously, which is completely opposite to the church's low-key and simple style.

But when you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable. No one would have thought that such a gorgeous and beautiful girl was from the church.

"Since you don't want to talk, let me do it."

The 'makeup artist' stood up, with her long, powdery hair hanging behind her shoulders, she walked to the window and looked at the twinkling lights outside.

"Actually, in my early years, I was also shy, the kind of girl who couldn't let go."

"But later, because of the needs of work, the market has to play various characters and roles, and the image has changed."

"Sometimes I'm not very good at acting, so I can only exaggerate my expressions and movements, so as to conform to the setting."

She turned around, crossed her slender legs, put her hands on the window sill behind her, and looked up at the wood-colored ceiling.

"After a long time, I will gradually get used to it, but this is also good, so I won't be molested by those frivolous people."

"When you are more active than the other party, it is not you who is molested, but the other party." She put up a finger, put it in front of her, waved it lightly, and a small golden star floated out, and then dissipate.

"But in this way, isn't it playing with fire?" The girl's clear voice sounded in the room, a little soft.

"No, repentance and willfulness are girls' privileges. Especially for a cute girl like you, even if you tease others, they will be very happy. Do you really think that girls don't know the thoughts of those male creatures? .They just find it more stimulating and lose their ability to think in your words."

"Then, reveal the flaw."

Well, it's time to talk about work, the girl thought to herself.She thought the 'makeup artist' would talk about her sad past.

In that case, she would still be happy to listen.

Regardless of these, she stood up, went back to her bed, picked up the doll leaning on the pillow, a gust of cool wind swirled and circulated in the room, blowing away the heat of early summer, making the room cooler.

"Can this doll still be used like this?" The 'makeup artist' bent down and looked at the gothic doll in front of him. The cool air flowed around the doll's hands and blew towards the room.

"Yeah, Yixue is very powerful." The girl said so, she put her chin on the doll's head, and the hair behind her was blown away by the breeze, gradually filtering out the water vapor.

"The undead sequence is really convenient, you can call your companions to help at any time."

The 'makeup artist' thought of several necromancer teammates he had encountered. One of them was good at controlling ghosts. The ghosts under his command danced like demons in battle. Yu, did not have the sharp and strict style of the adjudicator at all.

The two sat by the bed and continued to chat for a while, and Lorraine Hill also gradually understood the character of this teammate.Although it is a bit exaggerated during the day, it is actually the kind of person who thinks a lot, but usually does not express it.

"Okay, let's stop here today, it's time to go to bed." The 'makeup artist' said to Lorraine Hill.

"Hmm." The girl put the doll on the chair beside the bed, then lay down on the bed, covered with a thin quilt.

"Then, good night."

The 'makeup artist' blew out the candlestick on the table, and the room fell into darkness, only the ground by the window was illuminated by the silver moonlight.

-----------

The next day, the four members of the team got up very early, and after a simple breakfast, they continued on their way.

The carriage galloped quickly across the fields, and they left Eserut and headed west to the capital of Dominia.

The city is surrounded by towering walls, the tallest building in the city is the church in the center.

The church built of pure white bricks and tiles has a golden angel statue on the round roof. On the huge windows beside it, there are also drawings made of colored glaze, highlighting the heroes and angels in ancient legends.

After entering here, they did not go to see the bishop of the local church, but went around the city, acting like foreign travelers who had just arrived in the sanctuary.

After a few days of this, they began to buy some things for the journey, and then invited a coachman to drive, and the four of them took a carriage and carriage to the small town on the mountain side.

The carriage drove slowly on the field covered with green grass, and Lorraine Hill was able to carefully watch the field seedlings beside the road.

The tender seedlings swayed in the breeze, and as the carriage moved forward, a fresh smell wafted from the window.It can be seen that these rye are growing well.

"It's Merlin Town not far away." 'Red Top Hat' said so.

"It's here so soon, how do you know, have you been here before?" The 'makeup artist' looked at the man opposite.

"No, I just saw a road sign on the side of the road, and there was a sign there."

The red top hat pointed to the front side of the carriage, but since the 'makeup artist' and Lorraine Hill were sitting with their backs to the driving position of the carriage, they naturally didn't know where it was before they arrived.

As the carriage approached a small town under a hill, the sounds outside gradually became lively.

The white and low houses are scattered in the mountain roads and fields, and outside the villages and towns are fields like a checkerboard.

At the entrance of the town, a large sign was erected at the moment, with a banner passing through the middle.The general meaning is happy holidays, I wish everyone can get happiness from fine wine.

When their carriage stopped in the small town, many nearby people had already arrived ahead of time.A circular stage is set up in the town, on which there are various performances, such as flowing and flying fireballs, snowflakes that turn into phantoms of angels, ice sculptures that suddenly condense in summer, and so on.

Some children cheered and ran on the street with kites. The long tails of the kites floated far away as they ran.
