Not a Witch

The girl is holding a bunch of ripe berries in her hands, and behind her is a field of golden wheat ears, and the fertile waves meander to the infinite distance.

No.16 Zhangfang City

In the early morning, the girl gradually woke up from her dream amidst the sparse sounds of walking outside the tent.

She rubbed her eyes, propped her hands on the blanket and stood up slowly, the thin quilt covering her body slipped off.

The long hair by the ear hangs around the neck, and Lorraine Hill shook his head slightly to wake himself up a little bit. At the same time, he slowly sorted out the memory of last night's dream. After a long time, he slowly remembered where he was.

She looked at the gradually dimming and fading pattern of branches, leaves and fruits on the back of her hand, and finally believed that what she saw that morning was not an illusion.

It's strange, why do I see those past memories, obviously people and things that have passed away for a long time.She thought so in her heart.

Looking back on the life of the figure I saw in my dream, from childhood to adulthood, from an ordinary girl to a mature witch in charge of the empire, in its long experience, there are ups and downs and joys, and it has witnessed hundreds of years and thousands of years. The course of history until the end of the last dream.

Artatis, the witch of abundant fruit.

Its representative pattern is composed of green branches and bright red berries, which is beautiful and prosperous.

After Julius passed away, she took over the power of the empire, leading and supporting the human kingdom at that time behind the scenes.Under her care and protection, a new generation of witches in the empire gradually grew up, becoming the solid backbone of the True Red Empire, and slowly making it stronger.

If it was said that Julius planted the first seed, then Artatis took care of it carefully and gradually cultivated the existence of the big tree.

[The sweat of tillage bears fruit]

[The bunches of wheat ears in the hand are the proof of the relationship between man and the earth]

[Even if no one agrees...but I still see it]

[For me, everyone will blossom and bear fruit]

[Precious children, there is not much I can do]

[But I will stay with you.Because, I want to commend you for your efforts]

For all the witches, Artatis is a loving elder, but also a reassuring and comfortable companion.It was also under her improvement that the True Red Empire gradually filtered out the ruthless aura when the country was founded and became slightly softer, allowing the number of human beings to expand by dozens or even nearly a hundred times in hundreds of years.

And such a huge number, even after the empire was destroyed, left fire and blood for the subsequent rise again.

After stepping out of the tent, I simply washed my face with a moist handkerchief, and the remaining dew on my skin became slightly refreshed in the breeze.At this time, Lorraine Hill gradually sorted out the memories of that distant time in his mind.

The seniors are all great, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to catch up with such great achievements.The girl thought so in her heart.

Wringing the handkerchief and putting it away, she turned back to the tent, carefully removed it, and put it away.

When squatting on the ground and rolling up the carpet, the gray and black soil and ground below also emerged, and one of the bent small white flowers attracted the girl's attention.

Looking at the unknown little flower with a bent stem, she put her hand on it, imitating the scene she saw in her dream.An extremely subtle streamer appears on the flower stem, which gradually returns to its original state, and several fresh shoots also emerge from the bottom, and the light green leaves are delicate and tender.

Putting her hands away, the girl looked around, only to find that no one was paying attention to her accidental little action, so she was slightly relieved.

I thought it was just a dream, but I didn't expect that the things in the dream seemed to have become reality.She also has the power of the great witch in the dream.

Power is different from ordinary skills or talents, its existence can surpass some common sense, and even break some natural laws.

Just like the process of simply repairing plants and catalyzing growth just now.If other extraordinary people want to do it, they have to use the power related to it and follow certain skills.

Such skills are also limited by the user's own abilities and the strength of the target.It would be easy if it was an ordinary plant, but it would be very difficult if it was a plant with some extraordinary characteristics.

But for the Plenty Witch in her memory, these problems don't exist, she just needs to think about it.Just like a concept, letting things develop in this direction is easy and natural.

Half an hour later, the merchant team was on the road again, and the girl continued to sit on the back of a carriage, looking up at the slightly gray sky.

The long hair at the back of his head hung down and swayed slightly behind him. Lorraine Hill closed his eyes, feeling the comfort brought by the breeze, and then continued to think about the distant country in his dream.

I always feel that the Demon Sequence and the Demon Heart are very similar, but unfortunately she doesn't know much about the Demon Heart, and she can't be completely sure now.I don't know whether the country she saw in the dream is the same world as the region she is in now. If so, then this world is really broad and wonderful.

There were various thoughts and conjectures in her mind. After a long time, she felt a little sleepy, so she lay down on the fence and slowly took a nap.

Yu Baichou, who was riding a horse in the rear, looked at the girl in the gray dress in front of her, leaning against the railing of the carriage, slowly rising and falling, as if she had fallen asleep.

"This child... has a big heart, so he can sleep peacefully like this."

But so free and easy, presumably will be very happy in the future.Thinking about it, a smile appeared on the corner of the uncle's mouth unconsciously.Although I am an older girl, I don't want to be obsessed with it sometimes, hahaha.

After walking through Minze for nearly four days, this team of merchants finally set foot on the solid yellow land and headed for a city.

Qingwei City, at the city gate.

At this moment, Lorraine Hill is following the merchants and entering this relatively prosperous city.

On both sides of the street paved with bluestone, you can see many small merchants selling goods on the roadside, including wild vegetables in the mountains, mallard ducks with their feet tied, flower snakes covered in fine nets, green and white beans and other mountain products. There are also Baijing tofu, lotus paste cakes, Dalu pancakes and so on.

As it gets farther away from the city gate and closer to the bustling area of ​​the city, the number of small merchants and hawkers has gradually decreased, replaced by shops with high plaques.

Although the names are different, but from the girl's gaze, seeing the things displayed in it, she can roughly guess what kind of store it is selling.Among them are those who sell paper, pens and inkstones, some who sell simple porcelain pots, some who sell condiments and spices, and some who buy clothes and jewelry.

"Moo—" With the long cry of the prison cow, the team slowly stopped.

"Then it's here. The space in this post station is relatively large. It can store a lot of goods, and it's considered safe." The leader of the merchant said so, and then turned his head.

"Where are you two going after that? If you don't go along the way, I'm afraid we will part here."

"We'll rest for two days, and we'll probably go to Minzhou's state city. I'm afraid we won't be able to make it along the way." Yu Baichou clasped his fists in his chest and saluted.

"Thank you for taking care of me along the way, and we will go on our own the rest of the way." While speaking, the girl on the side also learned to salute and bow her head.

"Then I wish you all the best of luck." The leader of the merchant nodded, and after a simple return, he walked into the station with the others.

Seeing the group of merchants gradually entering the courtyard, while Yu Baichou and Lorraine Hill continued to walk forward, they also had to find a place to rest and inquire about news by the way.

Two hours later, the two also settled down and had a meal of freshly made dragon beard noodle soup.

"Will you go to Neifang to have a look later?"

After eating, Yu Baichou asked the girl, seeing that she didn't seem to understand, so he explained.

"It's also a place that sells items related to practitioners, but this city is not big, and things may not be as complete and diverse as in the city of Shangzhou."

"Going." The girl nodded with interest.

"Then let's go."

Afterwards, Yu Baichou took the girl to the street, asked the passers-by a little on the way, and then walked in one direction.When they came to a tall red archway, the two handed over two silver rings and entered.

Compared with the places where ordinary people go shopping outside, the decoration of the shops here is much more luxurious, and there are bursts of sounds of gold and jade in some of the shops, which is very pleasant to the ear.

"Chuangu Qingyuzhai"'Tianyi Baixiang Pavilion','Five Colors Wrapped Silk Building','Bamboo Sound Whispering Workshop' are meticulously carved everywhere, and the bustling and bright buildings appear in the eyes of girls.At the same time, large and small Yuanli ripples appeared on both sides of the street.

Pedestrians walking on the street are also different from the outside world, they wear all kinds of exotic clothes.Some are completely black, with cloaks like black wings covered with layers of feathers, some wear jade crowns with beads swaying, and walk like the wind, and some wear red sleeves with silk threads like fire, bright and dazzling.

"The clothes should be woven from the fur of the fire mouse in Shannanzhou. It does not burn in the fire and purifies itself, which is very attractive to some people. If you are a practitioner who is good at flames, wearing that clothes is also very beneficial to your practice. "

[Crimson long fur] (gold level, excellent): It is woven from the hair of the fire beast (also known as the fire mouse), which does not burn in the ashes of fire and adds to its flame.Its material is tough and fire-resistant, which can resist most low-level attacks, but it is light and comfortable, and can resist heat and cold, so it is loved by people.

[Suet white jade tin] (bronze grade, excellent): It is made of seed jade in the Yuhe River in West Kunlun, carved and refined according to its texture, and has a good effect of rejuvenating and calming the mind.

Lorraine Hill blinked, looked at the data that appeared on the virtual screen, and had a rough evaluation in his heart.

It looked very good, and she didn't know when she could get such a suit, she unconsciously thought of the scene in the game in the previous life, it would be even better if she could make it herself.

"Don't rush to buy it, let's take a look first, I guess you will have to go through a lot on the way, why don't you buy a simple exercise and practice it first. As long as it doesn't exceed the third level, you can leave at any time afterward, and then practice it The true biography of the faction."

"Is there anyone selling the method of practice?" The girl blinked.

"Haha, well, those who can cultivate to a high level must be extremely precious, but low-level ones are not so rare. It's just that such methods that are spread outside are generally not very complete, and their effects are not as good as the complete set of inheritance in the sect. "

"After all, all major sects have been continuously tried and improved by generations, so there are few shortcomings in all aspects, and the categories are complete. You can make up for which part you want to learn at any time, and it does not conflict with the current practice. But the method scattered outside will not work, it will be very difficult for you to find someone who practices the same method as you.”

"Besides, sometimes, some methods practice to the depths, and there will be hidden pits that are difficult to detect."

"Will the major factions communicate with each other, and will they fall behind behind closed doors for a long time?" the girl asked curiously.

"Of course there will be exchanges. The most famous are the three grand events, namely 'Fighting Swords in the Red Building in Youcheng', 'Discussing Heart Tracks under the Purple Banyan Tree', and 'Wanli Bamboo Mountain and Sea Song Meeting'. However, I can only do these events when I go there. The audience is nothing more than the audience, those who are on stage are all the unicorns in the heaven and earth, the strange heroes."

"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's go and have a look." After speaking, Yu Baichou strode forward, as if he was afraid that the girl would continue to ask questions, and the rare ink and knowledge in his stomach would be poured out. It's over.

Lorraine Hill was not angry at all, but also picked up speed and followed.

"Burning Zhiyun Fire Pill, eating it can help you advance. The sale is limited to three pieces. Come quickly if you need it." After the two approached the open space in the square city, there was a loud noise, and a large circle of people surrounded them in front of them. .Everyone looked at the man in green who stood on the wooden platform and shouted in the middle, and communicated in a low voice below.

"Is this elixir really effective?" A practitioner asked curiously.

"I heard from my brothers from my hometown that it is still useful. One of their masters has used this to enter the fourth level." A person next to him replied.

"It is said that after eating it, the will will be like fire, and you will be awake after burning. It can resist external evil illusions and reduce the difficulty of advancing."

"I don't think so." Another person in the crowd retorted.

"Although such a method can improve the ability to resist illusions for a while, it will eventually be harmful to the soul and the root. Even if one is lucky enough to advance, it will take a lot of time to warm up before turning around."

"Besides, if you don't measure it properly, you might turn into a fool." He curled his lips again.

"Isn't it? This person is still selling so expensively. He actually needs 6 gold dishes for each. I heard that it was still 4 gold dishes last month."

"There's no way, once you become famous, the price will naturally increase."

"Anyway, there are some people who are not afraid of this side effect, and want to advance to the next level."

"Hey, there's no way. Now it's a time of great contention. There are many heroes everywhere. Everyone wants to show their talents. Maybe because of their outstanding talents, they are valued by some door-to-door, and then they are included in it and vigorously cultivated."

"I think you should give up this wishful thinking. Forget about the periphery of 36's door. Among them, the true disciples are chosen by millions of people. They are extremely rare. How can you value this kind of scum. You need pills to help you to advance to the fourth level. .”

"Hahaha, yes, yes, I was thinking too much."

"However, this person is also very powerful. It is said that he came out of Qingluyuan before, and he was still an alchemist who had climbed to the 6th rank. It's just that today's shocking changes made him have to rebuild the ladder, so he fell into this place."

"And his practice method is said to consume a lot of natural resources and treasures, so he is also very short of money, so he came up with this method."

Chapter No.17 Gradually recalling the past

Lorraine Hill and Yu Baichou stood at the back of the crowd, watching the Taoist on the stage continue to call the price, and some of the crowd below were indeed moved and kept responding.

"10 gold dishes and 40 silver rings!" shouted a strong man carrying a sledgehammer. His upper body was bare, and many scars could be seen in it.

"It's not grand enough, Lord Chi, I'll give out 12 gold dishes!" A thin old man next to him hunched over and compared the numbers with his hands.

"You old man, you are so old, why are you still robbing me!" Perhaps because of the limited money in his arms, this strong man was also a little impatient, so he almost hit someone with a hammer.Fortunately, the law and order in this Fang City is good, and the local government is suppressing him, so he can restrain himself.
