Not a Witch

Its family emblem is a red dragon on a black background, also known as the dragon of evil thoughts. The rich south of the empire is also one of the four major duke families of the Green Empire.
The other three are the Trey family with the grey raven as the family crest, the Landsworth family with the blue-backed white unicorn as the family crest, and the Salius family with the gold-backed griffin as the family crest.
"The Dragons of Exiang have always been warlike. If the raven does not go to the north, it depends on what the unicorns and griffins think. If the Dragon of Exiang can draw a family to be an ally, the war that has been suspended for a hundred years will start again. set off."
"And our organization wants to integrate the seven Snow Hua Kingdoms as soon as possible, and Verga is an important part of it."
"Only in this way can we, the descendants of destroying the country, continue to live, otherwise there will be nowhere to hide under the nest." Wick slowly stated and analyzed the situation.
Adeley closed his eyes and thought. He didn't expect things to happen so quickly. According to the original plan, he should secretly find some trouble for Karites, and then he took the opportunity to appear to help solve the problem and gain Lacey's favor. It's best. Let her marry him, and you'll get everything Karites has.
If it really doesn't work, you can gain its trust, so you can easily attack it, take it down, and then slowly annex Karites.
But the heavens are not as good as the people. The civil war in Xifeng has disrupted all the rhythms. No one expected that the peasant uprisings that happened almost every year were so powerful this time that they directly attacked the northern coalition forces of Xifeng on the frontal battlefield. Collapse, for a while, the west wind all over the country responded, and the chaos became a pot of porridge, which also affected Verga in the south.
"Don't do it yet, I'm going to visit the master recently sent by the organization." Aidley opened his eyes and made a plan.
"You mean that one? I don't think these feather-loving alchemists will directly help."
"A lot of things are not not done, but just the price is not enough." Adeley smiled.
"I'll give him an offer that he can't refuse." After that, he put on his coat and walked out of the study.
Watching Aidley leave, Wick continued to sit on the sofa, drinking his coffee slowly, and was silent for a long time.
"My wise brother... Now you have been bewitched by that Miss Lacey, and you have given up your ruthlessness."
"Since that's the case, let me help you cut off this fantasy that shouldn't exist."
He slowly finished the drink in the cup, slowly put the cup on the coffee table, and then began to summon some hidden figures.
The bleak autumn wind blew up, and outside the Hopelander Port, sailboats set sail, ready to go along the coastline to the West Wind Kingdom in the north, accompanied by members of the other twelve chambers of commerce, and a large amount of food was also loaded on the boat. , which is what the westerly lacks at present.Provided by the two Chambers of Commerce, Meter and Rhea.
"Goodbye Uncle Fang, I hope I can continue to listen to you about the East Continent next time."
Roland Hill waved to an uncle wearing scales and white robes at the port, and then watched the fleet set sail.
This uncle is the nephew of the Oriental who Angus rescued back then. He is currently the leader of the 'Trade Wind' fleet. According to his description, the Eastern Continent is very similar to the motherland of Roland Hill's previous life in ancient times. Chinese clothing, respected etiquette.This can't help but make the girl very curious, and she has heard a lot of things about the Eastern Continent these days.
"Hahaha, the eldest lady likes to listen to it, then I will set off for the old white, we will see you in 2 months." The uncle smiled and waved, his wide cuffs were rolling in the wind, and the strange oriental costumes are also in Verga. Very rare.
The white gulls swirled, the sea breeze blew, and the vast fleet began to pull anchor, heading towards the direction of the setting sun, along with the purple-red sunset, and kept going away.
Chapter 73 Street Assassination
After saying goodbye to the three fleets that set sail, Loren Hill boarded a carriage with the sign of the Lacquer Night Flower, and the group started their return journey.
As the weather gradually turned cooler, some fallen leaves began to appear on Hopelander Street. Although the seaside could not be called very cold, the night wind blowing also made everyone feel a lot of coolness.
After the hot season, everyone's appetite is much better than usual, and there are more food stalls on the street, cheap and affordable scones, grilled fish sprinkled with spices, and some carefully selected Grilled mussels.
The mussels in the white textured shells were slightly browned by the orange-red charcoal fire, sprinkled with some salt, and then a little bay leaf to remove the fishy smell, and the meaty aroma began to spread in the air.
"Sister, I want to eat that."
A pair of siblings stood beside the street. The elder sister with long chestnut hair was wearing a black skirt, and the younger brother was wearing a white hunting suit. It was the Helis family's siblings, Meru and Bell, followed by four guards.
"Bell, let's go back and eat. I'll ask the chef to make it for you."
Mei Lu looked at the street stall, which was directly exposed to the sea breeze. Occasionally, some dust was swept up by the wind, and she felt that it was not very clean and hygienic.
"No, after I go back, my father has to hold me to learn those annoying numbers again. I don't want it. I will eat here. Sister, you promised me that you will have a good day with me today."
The little boy Bell began to lose his temper, and Mei Lu was at a loss for a while. She was not the kind of cruel sister. Bell had high hopes from her father since she was a child. .
"Okay, my sister will buy it for you." Mei Lu fondly touched Bell's head, then took his hand and walked forward to help him choose.
The carriage that Loren Hill was riding also happened to pass through this street, and when he saw the siblings, he stopped the carriage and prepared to say hello.
The fir car door opened, and the girl walked down in a white knee-length dress. The afterglow of the sunset swayed down from the edge of the sea, dyeing the white skirt a touch of gold.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, May..."
Before Roland Hill could finish speaking, a freight carriage at the back of the road suddenly lifted its wraps, revealing a icy crossbow, the bowstring vibrated, and before the sharp sound could be transmitted, the icy crossbow arrow was directed towards him. The girl's body shot straight.
Lorraine Hill made a decisive decision. The light blue strappy sandals stomped heavily on the stone bricks. Taking this as a fulcrum, she quickly turned her body sideways, her long skirt fluttered, and a ray of blood and hair flew up in the air. There was a bloodstain, and the long hair around the ear also lost several strands.
But before the others could react, a guard beside Mei Lu suddenly pulled out a long sword and rushed over. The long sword made of cold iron had a strange blue light on it.
The sword was poisoned, and Roland Hill reacted quickly. After activating the demon core, she was not afraid of any poison, but it also meant the end of the mission, and all the previous efforts were in vain.
Although he didn't understand why the guards of the Helis family also acted, after a short thought, Roland Hill decided not to activate the extraordinary core for the time being, and easily avoided the sword edge with his extraordinary perception and reaction ability.
The ruthless sword light slashed at the cedar car door, and it got stuck three points into the wood. At this time, the guards of the Karites Chamber of Commerce also reacted and rushed over with a shout.
A Carrites guard in steel armor directly knocked the assassin away. Chelsea also pulled Lorraine Hill back into the sturdy carriage, and the four riders rushed directly to the crossbow behind, the crossbow bow. Before they could fire the second shot, the riders stabbed the assassin they were operating and dragged them off the carriage.
At this time, more than a dozen guards from the Carrites Chamber of Commerce had already surrounded the sisters and brothers of the Helis family, their spears were aimed at them, and they were ready to fight. blood.
The guards of the Carrites Chamber of Commerce are all young people carefully selected from the chamber of commerce recently. They have excellent qualifications. Their parents and family members work in the chamber of commerce. .It can be said that the business has greatly improved their family and life, and has a strong sense of belonging. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a second home.
But now someone actually assassinated Miss Lacey, the only heir of the Karites Chamber of Commerce, in front of them, causing the Chamber of Commerce to collapse, which is equivalent to destroying their current source of happiness.
Seeing these angry-eyed guards, each with a cold spear full of murderous intent, Bell shook off the shells and mussels in his hands in fright on the spot, while Mei Lu kept her younger brother behind and faced them with worry. Aiming of spears and crossbows.
And the remaining guards of the Helis family have already been taken down and pressed to the ground.
After everything settled down, Roland Hill slowly walked out of the carriage, looking at the scene in front of him, feeling a little helpless.
-----
The maid in the carriage carefully wrapped Roland Hill's arm with gauze, and the young girl invited the sister and brother into the carriage to talk.
Ding--
The sound of the ceramic tray colliding with the teacup, the maid poured the warm black tea, Bell held the teacup, and then slowly calmed down, while Mei Lu said apologetically.
"I'm very sorry, Miss Lacey, it's our Helis family's lax care that allowed the assassins to mix in with the guards."
"Please don't misunderstand, this incident was not what Helis did. I will come to the door again tomorrow to apologize and compensate for the loss."
"Miss Mei Lu is probably joking. The guards around you are all carefully selected from the family members of the Chamber of Commerce. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are side members of your family. How could you not know about it?"
Chelsea pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, her eyes were sharp, and she didn't seem to be satisfied with the explanation of the eldest Helis family.
"I know it's a far-fetched explanation, but it's true."
Mei Lu's voice was somewhat self-deprecating, with a hint of bitterness in it.
The family style of the Helis family attaches great importance to family relationships, which also leads to many internal positions being held by relatives. These relatives are not all shrewd and capable, but most of them are vegetarian, lazy and corrupt, making the chamber of commerce bloated.
She is also very disgusted with these indolent relatives, but after all, she is related by blood, and she is only the daughter of the family, not the eldest son. She will marry in the future, so she can't discipline her too much, but who would want to make such a big thing happen today.
At this time, Loren Hill's wound under the bandage had healed. She was not very angry, but she was a little surprised that Mei Lu, the daughter of Helis's parent, had so much inconvenience and restraint at home.
In fact, this is also special to Karites. Other chambers of commerce families are all open branches and loose leaves, and there are many relatives. Influenced by the tradition of Xifeng Gu's family's emphasis on family affection, the large chamber of commerce families in Verga will generally treat their own family members. After all, they are trustworthy. Blood ties are stronger.But it also spreads power, breeds corruption, and often has to balance the feelings and interests of other members.
The Karites family is completely different. The interior is very refreshing. Everything depends on the strength and performance. As for relatives, sorry, Angus has only one daughter.Now everything is up to Miss Lacey, she is the only voice from top to bottom, and you don't need to think about other messy household chores, she just doesn't know her happiness in the midst of happiness.
Chapter 74 Let's end this dumb fandom
After letting several escorts take the Heliss and brothers back, Loren Hill continued to take the carriage back.
Hopelander at night is more lively than daytime. After a tiring day at work, everyone likes to go out for a ride. There is no 996 working system in this world, and there is no convenient and bright electric light, so we usually leave work after dark. rest.
There are lanterns hanging from the stalls on the street. Some sell small accessories, snacks, and even music tin boxes. This is an alchemy prop that can record the sound, then play it, and improve it several times. After that, the price is not too expensive.
The orange light that circulated outside the car window shone into the dark compartment, and as the carriage moved forward, the light and dark shadows of the light turned and reversed on the small table.Listening to the noisy night market outside, Roland Hill remembered the scene when he got off work in his previous life, and it was the same.
In the dull bus, the high-rise buildings beside the road, the neon lights as many as stars, illuminated the night, and the orange lights sprinkled on the tired face, very quiet, only the roar of the bus and the sound of the station announcement, everyone. They all sat together, but remained silent, only occasionally seeing faces illuminated by the light of the phone screen.In the face of this quiet carriage, she used to feel lonely occasionally, but enjoy it occasionally.
Loneliness is because I work in a big city, and it is difficult to meet relatives and friends I used to know, and I can only taste the little things in life by myself.The enjoyment is because she will not be disturbed by the people around her. She goes to dinner parties, relatives gatherings, entertaining guests, etc. that she is not interested in. After get off work, she can enjoy the free and comfortable time when she is alone. She can do whatever she wants, and she is free. The heart is like running in the wilderness under the starlight, washing away the dust and troubles of the day.
Lorraine Hill leaned on the armrest of the sofa and looked at the lights outside the car window. He couldn't help but feel disgusted by the conspiracy and tricks of assassination. What about shortcuts?Once upon a time, the word “diligence” has become unpopular now. Countless people promote all kinds of anxiety in various channels, and the overwhelming advertisements tell you that only in this way can you be considered a 'senior' and a successful life.You have to make a lot of money, get rich overnight, you have to be a role model that others envy, care about your future more than your parents, and then sell their courses and products and tell you how to be more successful.
For the sake of superiority and competition, everyone no longer thinks about how to polish products. Instead, they focus on in-depth research on advertising, bringing goods, hacking opponents, and making stumbling blocks. Hard to believe.
The carriage slowly drove into the courtyard of the chamber of commerce, allowing Lorraine Hill to slowly wake up from the immersed memories, get off the carriage, and start dinner. Today's main course is grilled cod, with vegetable broth, bacon Bread, and a couple of coconut puddings at the end.
Watching several maids set dinner under candlelight, the girl frowned a little, then stretched out again, as if nothing had happened. After dinner, she went back to the bedroom to rest.
In front of the candle-lit dressing table, Roland Hill looked at himself in the mirror and blinked his blue transparent pupils.Am I just so easy to bully, and if I assassinate myself again and again, are you not afraid of my revenge?
When the candle burns, it emits a faint fragrance, and a feeling of sleepiness begins to strike, but it is not very strong, and it is very secretive and difficult to detect.She looked at the candle and didn't blow it out. Usually, a candle was lit in her bedroom. Sometimes she would read a book in the bedroom and see it late.
If she didn't know all this, some of the food in the dinner would react wonderfully with the scent of this candle, making her sleep forever tonight and never wake up again.
Looking at this long-planned candle, she slowly stood up, thinking what would a normal person do at this moment?Immediately call up the guards in the courtyard, close the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, conduct a large-scale search, and then torture and reason one by one to find the murderer?
Like walking in a labyrinth in dense fog, everything is full of confusion and confusion.
Chelsea's investigation these days found that Serres was actually in contact with the Helis family, and he did know Mrs. Mera's past, and did not investigate with all his heart.The chariot and the driver of the next night belonged to the Nissos family.The guard next to Mei Lu suddenly shot, the Hellis family really didn't know, or did it deliberately by thinking backwards, making people think that it was framed by others.Is the Tisifone family the mastermind behind the scenes or just a thug.And the blue poison on the guard sword came from a rare flower cultivated by the Anemii family, how much the Anemii family participated in it.
All these thoughts just make Roland Hill feel a kind of disgust and anger from the heart, is it so interesting to sow discord and play with people's hearts?
Thinking of hiding in a safe dark place, tricking others with all kinds of conspiracies, and then shouting complacently to show how smart and skillful you are playing chess pieces.It's absurd to easily kill people invisibly, and then make the victim thank the murderer in return.
The girl opened the curtains, looked at the moonless starry sky, and stood still for a long time.
Then, the golden color of her hair gradually faded, and then it was dyed with a layer of translucent cyan. The soft hair and skirt gradually floated in the evening wind, and the brilliance of her pupils continued to flow, like emerald stars.
"You know nothing about true power."
As the voice fell, she gently jumped down from the windowsill, and then her figure flew up rapidly in the night, like a rising star.
The wind whistled in her ears, her hair fluttered rapidly, her speed was getting faster and faster, breaking through the layers of airflow, the earth kept getting smaller in the field of vision, and the vast sky was getting closer.
In Hopelander at night, thousands of lights are dotted, and the lighthouse on the harbour occasionally swept across.
The earth is like a huge and dark canvas, the mountains and forests in the north are dark and dark, the cities built along the coast embrace the deep blue ocean like a crescent moon, and the crescent moon lights up like stars on the ground. It is as small as an ant.
Turning around and overlooking the land, countless atmospheres began to flow around Roland Hill, and the breeze within a few dozen kilometers began to continuously surround, and countless emerald green natural magic powers flowed with the breeze like fireflies.The horror of mythical talent began to show, and the raging wind became extremely docile and obedient in her hands, as if everything should be the way it should be.
"Let's end this dumbfounding."
Roland Hill's right hand was gently pressed, and the wind that stretched for several kilometers slowly fell from the sky, carrying the natural magic power that was gradually transparent.
The weather vane on the coast suddenly turned, the street trees on the street kept swaying in the wind, the leaves rustled, the charcoal fire on the street grill suddenly burned brighter and brighter, the whole city was slowly filled by the night wind, and there were countless scenery. , the position of the characters, and the voice of the conversation, all of which were continuously fed back into Roland Hill's mind and consciousness through the night wind.
There seems to be endless information flow in the dreamy and emerald green eyes, the breeze is clear, everything in this city is presented in front of her in detail, and there are no longer any secrets to hide.
In the face of the enemy's tricky chess game, she kicked it over, so simple and rude, yet powerful and efficient.
