Not a Witch

Lorraine Hill put these blue acorn fruits on the knee skirt, sat quietly by the fire, and carefully peeled off the shell.This is her dinner today.

The sky has completely darkened, and the fire in the woods is burning quietly. The moist moisture in the dead branches emerges from the cross-section as the temperature rises, forming tiny bubbles, which burst and emit bursts of white gas.

The orange-red flame licked the bottom of the pottery cup, heating the spring water in it, and sometimes the breeze blew, making the flame sway, and also lengthening the shadow of the girl beside her.

The white and slender fingers peeled off the shell of the acorn, revealing the complete and smooth oval shell. As time passed, the peeled round acorns gathered in the hem of her skirt.

When the bowl was almost full, Lorraine Hill stopped. She picked up the acorns, walked to the clear spring before, washed them carefully several times, drained the water, and then went back to the fire Next to the pile, put the acorns one by one into the boiling earthenware cup, being careful not to let the water overflow.

Watching the water line slowly reach the edge of the cup, she also stopped, put the remaining acorns in the box, and waited quietly with her legs crossed.

Acorns or oak fruit contain tannins, so it is not good to eat directly. It is generally suitable for eating after being boiled. This is also one of the oldest foods for human beings.

After a while, seeing the clear spring water gradually change color, Lorraine Hill drained it, and then put it into the clear spring water to continue cooking.After doing this twice, the bitterness is removed from the acorns.

After the acorns are cooked, the outer skin is softened. Pick up a peeled one and put it in your mouth, chew it slowly, you can feel a unique soft and sweet taste.

In this way, Lorraine Hill sat by the fire, eating dinner quietly, enjoying this rare quiet moment.

Recently, I have been shuttling through the crowds in the city, and it has been a long time since I sat alone by the fire to eat.The quiet burning flame at night seems to have a strange magic power, attracting this girl, allowing her to completely relax her mind and mood, without having to think about the complicated things outside, and slowly enjoy this peaceful time of her own.

Even though he was a little uneasy because of amnesia before, it has completely calmed down now.

Many things and wishes cannot be achieved in a day, and on the way forward, a good rest is so important and charming, allowing her to get rid of the heavy burden for a while, and enjoy the peace alone.

Until the vast galaxy filled the night sky, until the chirping of insects and the blowing of the evening wind, until she fell into a peaceful and peaceful sleep.

Chapter 38 Flint Volcanoes

Suinite Mountains.

As Lorraine Hill gradually approached this volcanic area, the surrounding temperature gradually increased.

There is a hot atmosphere in the air, and the jungle plants in the mountains are extremely lush. Various animals live in this area. Some insects are as tender as green leaves, crawling slowly among the branches and leaves, and some poisonous snakes are red and black. The back is like a ridge coiled around the forest. Some birds have blue feathers, and the white feathers in the wing feathers are as scary as eyes when they are opened.

Although there are many mosquitoes, ants and poisonous insects here, it is not suitable for human survival, but other creatures like it very much and grow wantonly.Lorraine Hill walked through the dense forest leaves, and had to be careful to avoid ants, flying insects, and even poisonous snakes falling from the branches.

Although with the help of her keen perception, she will not be attacked by these little guys, but it is still a bit troublesome after a long time.

Several needle-like green awns flashed past, and a few mosquitoes and poisonous bees dangling in the air fell down and rolled into the dead leaves and weeds.

Something must be done, Lorraine Hill thought.If it is still like this at night, it will be a problem to sleep.

Stopping for a while, she closed her eyes and felt the extraordinary core in her body, that is, the clumsy little bird.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the bird on the small blue tree was still sleeping, its body huddled in its nest, undulating steadily.Compared with the previous fluffy gray fluff, there are more smooth and slender blue feathers.

At this time, the bird woke up from its comfortable nest, looked around, jumped up from the nest, pecked a red fruit from the branch, swallowed it, and a stream of refined magic power surged. Into the core, let the progress of the practice advance one step, and stop at 82% of the scale.

She looked at her own information panel, and then fixed her gaze on the new ability obtained after the advanced natural sequence 3o jumping branch young bird.

[Bird Affinity Lv.3] (Excellence): You can call for help from birds whose strength is lower than yours, and you can also increase your favorability when facing high-level birds. (Affected by the job-related ability learned, the corresponding bonus Lv.1→Lv.3 will be obtained)

After a little experience of how this ability works, Lorraine Hill's slightly closed eyes also opened.She looked up at the sky with dense canopy, then jumped up, lightly landed in the branches, and then jumped again, her body directly passed through the lush branches and leaves, jumped out of the sea of ​​trees, overlooking this beautiful world.

In the front of the field of vision, several tall mountain peaks are as black as black in the clouds and mist, with a faint red light on their tops, emitting bursts of heat.Tens of kilometers away, there is a vast and prosperous jungle, completely covering the land, forming a light green sea of ​​trees.

Fingers easily break off a new and tender branch, fingertips caress its surface, the rough bark peels off, a tiny whirlwind drills holes in the branch, and then opens it, a newly made wooden flute appears in Luo Lanxi in your hands.

Recalling the knowledge of music theory learned from Mrs. Filia in the past, she held the flute in front of her body and began to play it melodiously.

The tone of the voice is not intense, there is a trace of ethereal in the music, the distant music is sometimes tactful, sometimes light, and the ability of its own extraordinary job is also scattered like ripples with the music, falling into the surrounding breeze.

After a long time, when Lorraine Hill slowly stopped the music and opened his eyes, birds of various shapes were surrounding the surrounding branches, looking at the girl in white.

The movement of her eyes opening was like a drop of water falling into the water, causing the birds to chirp and chirp. Although they couldn't understand the specific meaning, the cheerful emotion infected the girl.

The thoughts of animals are not complicated, they are happy when they are happy, and they will be happy when they hear comfortable music.

Lorraine Hill looked at the group of birds called by her, many of them were extraordinary animals of Sequence 1-2, and even two birds of extraordinary Sequence 3.

Natural Sequence 3o Fire-crested Chrysanthemum Finch

Necronomicon sequence 3o blue jay

The height of these two birds is about as long as Lorraine Hill's forearm. They are not big, and they look very beautiful. They seem to have evolved from ordinary birds. Even if they grow in size, they are not ferocious and still retain Beautiful plumage of small birds.

Compared with other birds, these two birds are much more intelligent. They landed on a branch not far in front of the girl and made melodious calls. Lorraine Hill also quickly understood the two birds' passing The message is probably asking the girl what help she needs.

Lorraine Hill closed his eyes and conveyed his inner thoughts clearly, and the two birds chirped back as if they understood.

But their eyes seemed to be a little pitiful, as if they thought that a girl with such a big size couldn't even fly, she was really stupid.

Lorraine Hill had no choice but to smile helplessly about this. After all, it is different from the past. The current world has many restrictions on the ability to fly. It is not a professional job related to it. Generally, the ability to fly can only be obtained after Sequence 6, and even if she With talents related to wind, it cannot be exempted from common customs. You can only fly freely after Sequence 4. What you can do now is only gliding and levitation.

Two Sequence 3 birds took the lead and flew up, circling in the sky, and then swooped down one by one, forming a long line, laying out two parallel tracks in front of the girl, extending upwards, straight into the sky.

"Thank you~"

Lorraine Hill whispered in his mouth, then jumped up, tapped on the back of one of the birds, and then moved forward quickly, one after another, quickly rising towards the sky.As she passed quickly, the birds behind also accelerated again, rushed forward, and re-arranged in front of the track, and so on.

Lorraine Hill opened her hands, kept her balance, and quickly shuttled across the sky. In this way, she walked to the heights of the sky step by step, and the emerald green sea of ​​trees below became smaller and smaller in her field of vision, getting farther and farther away, until finally, she You can easily overlook the vast and magnificent world below.

The earth is divided into two distinct parts: emerald green and brown-black. The emerald green is below and to the left and right of her, while in front of her are black volcanoes. Although only a small part of them are emitting magma, under the high temperature, there are no plants growing on the volcanoes. The top survives, and the dark red lava is distributed around the mountain like cracks, spreading downward.

When Lorraine Hill slowly approached the sky above the volcano, she also gradually discovered some creatures living near the crater.They are more powerful than the animals in the outer forest, and there are many Sequence 4-5 among them. In today's world, they can also be said to be high-level monsters or monsters.

These monsters usually inhabit lairs near the volcano, absorbing the rich mana (yuanli) in the dragon veins of the volcano, and when they are hungry, they will rush down the volcano and go to the nearby dense jungle for food.

The steaming heat above the volcano swept Lorraine Hill, and after she entered the sky, the long line of birds before her also dispersed, because she was already able to glide with the help of the air current.Besides, it's too hot here, and ordinary birds can't bear it.

Gusts of breeze surrounded the girl and circulated continuously, dissipating the heat from the volcano below, and gradually leading her to the gaps between the volcanoes, avoiding those dangerous areas.

At this time, only the two Sequence 3 birds were still following Lorraine Hill. They were not afraid of the heat, perhaps they were used to living here.

The body glides slowly in the sky, and the scorched soil below gradually fills the field of vision. The land that stretches for nearly a hundred miles is dark and dark red. The lava in the volcano flows quietly. Even when the sky is getting dark, at night, It will still be reflected around.

The pungent smell, like sulfur, spreads in the air, bursts of white air rise from the ground, and the occasional rainwater evaporates.

Suddenly, waves rose in the magma pool of a crater, and the thick and hot magma rose high. A vigorous and strong dragon shadow emerged from the magma. With a long roar, its hundreds of meters long body shook off the blazing lava , slowly swimming from the magma pool to the edge.

Lorraine Hill looked at the figure appearing in the magma in the distance, a powerful aura rushed towards her face, and its dragon roar spread in the air, like a knife cutting across the border, making her skin feel a little pain.Even when separated by thousands of meters, it still makes people feel chills in the heart.

[Dragon Sequence 7o Molten Chiron]

The information displayed on the system, marked in red, seems to warn the girl that this creature is so powerful that in today's world, few people are likely to be its opponents.

For this reason, she and the two birds beside her quickly landed, avoiding the area where the dragon was located, so as not to be discovered by the giant dragon.

Huh, it seems that we still have to walk, stepping on the slightly hot black basalt, Lorraine Hill sighed in his heart.If it flew down again, it might attract the attention of the giant dragon. When it was about to fall just now, she saw that the Chilong that emerged had eaten several high-level monsters nearby.

The powerful Sequence 5 beast in the eyes of ordinary people is as fragile as a chicken under the claws of this giant dragon, and it can be easily disembowelled.

After landing on the ground, Lorraine Hill looked at the stars in the sky and estimated the current time, which was probably around 9 o'clock in the evening.

Looking at the two birds standing by her feet, she put the rattan wooden box on a basalt rock, opened the box, took out the acorns left over from yesterday, took out two handfuls, and placed them in front of the two birds.

In any case, these two little guys have brought themselves so far, and they still provide dinner for others.

"How long have you lived here?" Squatting on the rock, Lorraine Hill looked at the two birds beside him and asked curiously, not expecting the two birds to fully understand.

Chirp, quack.

Two birds were pecking at the boiled acorns and chirping cheerfully.

It's so satisfying, the girl looked at the two birds and thought in her heart, then she took out the acorns from the box and ate them in small bites.

She doesn't have a big appetite, and a small box is almost enough.

Looking at the volcano and the night sky in the distance, Lorraine Hill thought for a while, and then decided to rest here for one night before setting off tomorrow.

Firstly, walking at night is more dangerous, and secondly, she also wants to have a good rest.

After making the decision, the girl looked around and found an extinct volcano that had been extinguished for a long time. Compared with other regions, there were a few sparse plants growing on the mountainside of this volcano, and it was not hot.

She came here lightly carrying the wooden box, then raised her arm slightly, meditating in her heart, and then a blue arc gradually formed on the back of her hand, on which was a high-speed air blade.

"Smoky wind!"

The spinning air blade flew out, submerged into the soil and exploded, creating a big hole.Seeing the girl attack, the chrysanthemum sparrow and blue jay flying beside her also spread their wings, and two light blades, one red and one blue, emerged in the night, and then shot out, submerged into the big pit and exploded .

"Thank you, but I'll do it this time." The girl looked at the messy crater and shook her head slightly. It's better for these two helpers not to participate in such delicate construction activities.

She waved her hand to block the figures of the two birds, and let the two little ones fall down, standing at her feet and waiting in peace.Then put your hands in front of your body, a compressed air ball is formed in your hands, and then slowly expands.

"Go." The girl murmured softly, and the air ball rotated at high speed and pressed into the big pit, constantly compacting the soil around the pit and making the ground level. Finally, a standard and beautiful spherical space appeared in the on the mountainside.

After looking around for a while, Lorraine Hill jumped in with the box and stepped on the solid ground.Then he stretched out his hand, and three small blue flame light balls floated up, illuminating the cave.

Although it took a little effort, it was good to sleep here. She put her hand on the wall with compacted soil, and there was a trace of heat.It seems that there is no need to worry about catching a cold at night.

Opening the box, she took out the blanket that Aitexi had prepared for her, and spread it on the ground. Lorraine Hill looked back at the big hole diagonally above, and raised her palm.

[Natural Manipulation Lv.6] skills are deployed, all kinds of grass and shrubs grow rapidly at the entrance of the cave, and the tough vines are intertwined with each other to form a net, sealing the entrance of the cave.

In this way, there is no need to worry about ordinary wild beasts harassing them at night. As for other monsters, as long as they are not Sequence 6, they can handle them by themselves.

After being settled, she also felt a little tired, after all, she had traveled for a day.

Untying the hair tie at the back of her head and spreading her hair out to avoid being crushed, she walked to the blanket, looked at the two birds in the hole, and waved her hand.

"Good night, you guys also have a good rest." Seeing the girl's movements, the two little birds tilted their heads, and then chirped a few times in response.

After that, Lorraine Hill untied his shoelaces, took off his boots, sat on the blanket, pulled up a thin single-layer quilt, lay down quietly, and was ready to practice hard.

But not long after she closed her eyes, she opened them again, looking at the two squatting birds on the quilt, feeling the warm weight of tens of catties, she was a little dumbfounded.

Can't birds sleep standing up? After thinking about it, it's not easy for the girl to drive these two little guys away, so let them sleep on the quilt. Although it's a bit heavy, it's still quite warm.

In this way, the color of the three small fireballs on the top of the cave gradually dimmed and rotated slowly. The girls and birds in this cave gradually closed their eyes and entered a peaceful dormancy.

In the flint mountains outside the cave, some nocturnal monsters began to wander, some were shaped like lizards with black and red scales, some were like bats, their red fangs swooped across the night sky, grabbing those Slightly smaller insects or monsters.

Compared with the peaceful area where human activities are outside, the Suiyan Mountains have strong dragon veins, harsh environment, and many poisonous insects, snakes and ants. But also because of the rich mana, this place has become an area where monsters gather.

They fight each other, live in their own ways, and gradually choose better advanced methods and individuals in the constant struggle, and powerful individuals will also get more mating rights, combining their genes and The way of practice is passed on.

Although not as efficient and diligent as humans, these monsters and monsters are still advancing slowly, and they also occupy a large number of wild areas in the Eastern Dragon Continent, making the Plantagenet Dynasty still retain many mysterious and dangerous areas. .

All kinds of monsters or monsters were born in these areas, and their existence greatly enriched the world, allowing people on the Eastern Continent to have more objects to learn and learn from, and thus produced more kinds of practice Ways, more sources of extraordinary materials, and more possibilities in the future.

This is the development model of the Eastern Continent, and the Pro-Dragon Kingdom, the Plantagenet Dynasty is the master of its concept, which has developed the sequence of dragons to the extreme.
