Not a Witch

This is Solander, the largest statue in Clanthia, and its name is 'Lorraine Hill with the Lantern'.

Chapter 64 Clothing store on the street

"This... this..." Looking at the incomparably tall statue, Lorraine Hill couldn't help but feel the tip of his ears burn, and he had the urge to cover his head and run away.

"Why are these people so keen on doing this kind of thing..." She looked at the huge statue that she couldn't escape, and felt a little uncomfortable all over her body.As if he could foresee certain scenes in the future, wherever he went, people would surround him as if watching a rare animal, and then say all kinds of embarrassing words.

So shameful, so embarrassing.

Lorraine Hill's mind seemed to be a little overloaded, many imaginary images swarmed in, and the peaceful life that he had expected was going away quickly, and it was still in the state of never returning.

Even if she could disguise herself in the future and not show her true face, the thought that she would be able to see statues of herself as soon as she went to the streets and visited various places in Clancia made her feel very uneasy.

Pullman is too messy. There are so many statues in Crancia, it's hard to imagine that he didn't get his approval and suggestion. Didn't I say at the time, don't do this kind of idolatry? It always feels weird.

Lorraine Hill recalled his past entrustment, but he didn't expect that Pullman didn't listen to it at all.

Go bad, that guy.

Thinking of this in his heart, Lorraine Hill still endured the embarrassment, and walked to the gate of the palace with Ye Ling.

"Hello, please show me your pass certificate." The guards in front of the palace gate were wearing gold-rimmed armor and cloaks, and temporarily stopped in the road to ask.

"Is this okay? I haven't been back for some time." Lorraine Hill took out a well-preserved certificate, which was given to her by the former secretary Palinsa, and the identity written on it was Crancia's special administrative consultant .

"This..." Looking at the proof of the date ten years ago, the guard hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Sorry, this time is too long. I have to report it to the secretariat of the administrative office for verification. It will probably be confirmed tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. You should register here first, and come back in a day or two."

"Okay." Seeing this, Lorraine Hill didn't care, she just waited for a day or two, and besides, she really wanted to take a look around in Solander first.

"Then I'll come back tomorrow afternoon." After roughly making an appointment, Lorraine Hill and Yeling left.

Walking on the road, Ye Ling asked the girl.

"Sister Luolan, why don't you just reveal your identity directly? Just change the hair color and the clarity of your appearance to show that you are a great sage, and then scare that guy, hehehe."

Hearing such a proposal, Lorraine Hill knocked Yeling on the head, "You, you really like to make troubles, which will cause commotion. I don't want to be surrounded by a large group of people. I don't want to leave at that time." I can't go away."

"Oh, well, I thought I could show some prestige." Ye Ling covered his head.

"Let's go around Solander first." The two walked towards the busy street again.

In the afternoon, there were slightly fewer pedestrians on the street, not as crowded as in the morning, but there were still queues in front of some shops.

"Don't worry, everyone, follow this line and enter one by one..."

On the side of the street, a clothing store spanning three facades lies in it. The signboard is painted with brightly colored skirts and matching umbrellas. During the day, it is still overcrowded.

"This store is very popular, does it sell any special items?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Ling raised his hand and asked curiously.

"This little sister has just arrived in Solander, right? This store is the most famous clothing store in the capital. Many designs and styles in the country have become popular from here. In the words of our women, here It is the most trendy place, as long as you buy one, you will be happy for a long time." A woman with gray-blue animal ears introduced Ye Ling with a smile, she saw that Ye Ling had two horns, and she might regard her as a a race of orcs.

"Is that so, how did it become popular in the first place?" Ye Ling continued to ask.

"Well, let's start with its founder. Do you know that many of the clothes in this store are made by the designer Letis, who is now recognized as a master by Clancia?"

"It's not just clothing, she has a higher attainment in alchemy, and she has also been awarded the Falling Star Medal by the country, which is not something ordinary people can get..." Saying this, in Ye Ling's surprised eyes, this An orc elder sister introduced the life of this fashion master with great interest. The detailed tone of her description seems to be clearer and clearer than Letis herself, and whenever it comes to the source of creativity, Give birth to great praise and wonder, people can't help yearning for it.

"So, listen to my sister and buy a piece of clothing here. You will never regret it. In the future, you can show off to your sisters generously. No matter what occasion you wear, you will not look rude."

After some fanatical recommendations and preaching, the orc elder sister finally stopped slowly, and then looked at Ye Ling with encouraging eyes, as if she was not human if she was not moved.

"Oh, I will do this." Seeing the staring eyes of the orc elder sister, Ye Ling nodded vigorously, then stepped back carefully, and opened the distance.

"It's amazing, it's scary, is this a fanatical fan?" Yeling trotted back to Lorraine Hill, telling his story in a soft voice.

"However, is this store really opened by Letis? It's always unbelievable that the proud young lady can make clothes for people." Ye Ling recalled Lettis's performance at school, and she always had a good face. And arrogant, disdain to do those ordinary things, if it is said that she has become a master alchemist, Yeling will believe it, but when it comes to her making clothes for people, she still can't imagine such a scene.

"I don't know if Letis is in there. If I'm here, I'll rub her clothes with her. She looks pretty good." After thinking for a while, Yeling said to himself.

"Ledis probably isn't here, but you can inquire about her itinerary, and just visit at that time." Lorraine Hill used the information from the wind to explore, shaking her head slightly.

"Well, let's do it the next day, or I'll ask again." After hesitating for a while, Ye Ling jumped to the orc lady again and asked when the fashion master usually appeared.

"It's easy to say, this master will hold a new product release meeting here at the end of every month, and there will be many people coming here. The next time, it will be three days later, and you will come at the right time."

"Then thank you, sister~" Yeling thanked sweetly, and then happily ran back to Lorraine Hill.

"Then come back in three days. But it's getting late, and it's time for us to find a hotel to stay in tonight."

Lorraine Hill and Yeling continued to walk towards the side of the street. The two visited Solander's large and small shops and experienced the new changes that technology had brought to this country.

Not just a change in lifestyle, but a change in that social environment.Compared with the conservative and closed environment in the past, the people in the land of the Snow Flower Seven Kingdoms are moving towards a more open and united direction.

Chapter 65 Entering the Palace

After a good night's rest in the hotel, Lorraine Hill and Yeling came to the gate of the palace the next afternoon, and today there was an extra maid in black and white uniform at the gate of the palace.

"Palinsa." Looking at the slightly familiar figure, Lorraine Hilton suddenly remembered the secretary-general who assisted her in Clancia in the past.She is not only the head maid and secretary in the palace, but also a descendant of the former King of West Wind, so to speak, she is the last princess.

Recalling the past life in the Red Palace, Lorraine Hill stepped forward again, and this time, Palinsha quickly recognized the girl.

She suppressed the excitement in her heart, and then walked over quickly, her pupils seemed to be filled with water.

"Why are you crying? Did something happen?" Lorraine Hill held Palinsa's hand to comfort the head maid of the palace.It was hard to imagine that she, who was so capable in the past, would shed tears at this moment.

Palinsa blinked her eyes vigorously, holding back the tears of excitement, then wiped the corners of her eyes before opening her mouth slowly.

"Sorry, I made adults laugh." She tried her best to smile amidst the tears.

"Because I got the vision I dreamed of, I'm very happy." She lifted her skirt lightly and bowed solemnly as she spoke.

"Welcome back, Your Highness."

Then, under the surprised eyes of all the guards, the Secretary-General led Lorraine Hill into the palace.

The early summer wind was blowing in the palace, and officials in white robes could be seen everywhere shuttling through the white palace buildings, conveying various documents and instructions.Palinsa walked ahead, introducing the changes over the years to Lorraine Hill.

"The previous layout of the palace is somewhat unsuitable for the current huge government affairs needs, so a lot of places have been rebuilt, and a lot of manpower has also been increased."

"Since the opening of the railway, Clancia can now receive the information and reports collected from the provinces at any time, which has provided great help for the development of government affairs. Of course, this also means that the workload of paperwork is even greater."

"Fortunately, each department is gradually improving the system in the year-by-year work. Currently, each department is performing its duties in an orderly manner."

"After you left, we had a lot of exchanges with Sanctuary. The area where Sanctuary is currently located is also considered to be merged into Crancia, and the same laws and management methods are implemented, but we also retain some autonomy in the arrangement of local personnel. .”

"We participated in the reconstruction of Black Rock a lot, and many local residents dispelled their worries and rejections, and fully integrated into Clancia in the past few years. The same situation also happened in Falcon, Verga, Lurna and other places."

"After hundreds of years, the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua finally merged into one and became a complete country. Although there were various small problems encountered along the way, fortunately, everyone had enthusiasm and patience to deal with and digest them, so that the formation of Now there is unity, harmony and stability.”

"This is the vision that West Wind dreamed of in the past, and I don't want it to be realized so soon after it ends." Palinsa, the last princess, seemed to be emotional, and then continued to introduce.

"Later, in order to cultivate common ideas and national sentiments, Clancia began to compile a new edition of textbooks. This time, not only the origins of Xifeng and other places, but also legends and customs from all over the Seven Snow Kingdoms, let everyone know and be familiar with it. Mutual understanding and recognition are the first step. This is what you said at the time, and now it has finally come true." Palinsha's words were full of joy and happiness.

"Then, the High Priest Charente of the Sanctuary led a team to visit Solander. After discussing with Pullman and other adults, he finally decided to write a tome about your holy walk and record your words. You must read it. Seeing such a scene, you will also feel happy.”

No, not happy, Lorraine Hill objected loudly in his heart.

Of course, it is true to record technology-related things. If it is about life philosophy, it is also of reference value. However, I really don’t want to add my own name to each of them, which will feel very embarrassing.If other ancient people returned to the earth and looked at these familiar words, they might laugh and say that Lorraine Hill is a fool who loves to show off and praise himself.

"At the beginning, everyone was a little worried. After all, some of the stories described in it were indeed like myths, which were unbelievable. But unexpectedly, everyone seemed to like such beautiful and mythical stories more."

"Moreover, when students from all over the world gathered to study in universities in the capital, everyone compared the scenes and stories they experienced, and found that many of them were true. Song, the development is exceptionally fast."

"Compared with too distant and ethereal legends, the stories I have experienced around me are always so touching and more attractive."

"In the end, many residents proposed to build a statue for His Royal Highness Lorraine Hill. Letters and banners of his petition flew like snowflakes, and the mailbox of the palace was almost full at that time."

"In order to respond to everyone's expectations, in the end, Mr. Pullman and several other adults specially searched for a group of superb master sculptors, and tried their best to restore your appearance and posture. This is not an insult."

"After all, in everyone's hearts, His Royal Highness Lorraine Hill is an extremely beautiful and dreamy existence. If the carving is not good-looking, it will be too disappointing."

"After receiving the news, many master sculptors volunteered and recommended themselves. Everyone is very enthusiastic about such things, as if they regard it as the highest honor in their lives."

"There are also many folks who wrote down their ideas and gathered them in Solander, where everyone discussed and improved them, and finally determined the shape of each statue."

"At that time, I also wrote an idea, which was the scene of His Highness sitting under a tree reading a book, because the image was too deep."

"Later, this small proposal was also selected by the masters, and this statue was later placed on the mountain behind the library of Sage College in Solander, where it is a quiet and pleasant place."

This... Thinking of seeing a statue of himself suddenly when he walked around the country in the future, Lorraine Hill felt that his whole body was not good.

Woo, why do you like to do this kind of thing? Is looking at statues the same as looking at hand-made, she couldn't help thinking so.

"This... is actually not very good, maybe it's too much, and it's annoying." Lorraine Hill asked a little embarrassedly as she twirled her hair with her slender fingers.

"No, Your Highness, everyone likes it very much. In other words, the more original the sculpture is, the more it is liked by everyone."

"In this regard, you don't need to feel inferior at all, because everyone really, really, really likes it." She said several repeated words in a row, expressing the overflowing joy in her heart.

"Okay, the Hall of Stars is ahead. Pullman and several adults must have been waiting inside by now. Please follow me in."

"Oh? This... so fast, so sudden." Lorraine Hill was a little stunned and surprised. She also thought about meeting a few acquaintances quietly first, and then secretly going to sleep in the Xilan Mountains. Why did she do so? It's such a big scene when you come in suddenly.

Woo, I really want to go home.

Chapter 66 Hall of Stars

In Solander's palace.

Lorraine Hill looked up at the tall and white building, which looked like an undulating crown, slightly higher in the middle, and slowly descending on both sides.

It was originally the King's Hall of West Wind, but it was later changed into the highest meeting hall of Crancia. Although the main body of the interior building has not changed much, some external shapes have been modified a lot.

The five giant oval crystals that were originally inlaid like a crown were removed and replaced with carvings and paintings of the same color as the wall. The gate in the middle is about ten meters high, surrounded by wheat ears carvings on both sides, and at the top of the middle It is a shining star relief, a girl in wings is floating with her eyes closed, her hands are naturally spread out, one of which is holding a water bottle with flowing spring water, and the other is holding a flipped book.

Below her, that is, above the door, are rolling mountains, rivers, forests and lakes. The springs in the air turn into water droplets and sprinkle on the world, and pages from the books also fall from time to time, turning into faint phantoms and blending into the world. Tiny figures standing in the world below.

Spring water symbolizes life, and books symbolize wisdom, so as to warn future generations of the importance of both.

Sure enough, looking at this vivid carving, Lorraine Hill couldn't guess that this was his own appearance.At this time, she didn't want to ask any more. She pretended not to see it, lowered her head in despair, and walked into the magnificent and spacious building with slightly hot ears.As for Ye Ling's words, he also felt a little bad at this time, saying that he would not go in, and waved goodbye to the girl with a smile.

After crossing the huge map wall erected in the front hall and entering the brightly lit aisle, a group of tall and straight guards stood on both sides, saluted in silence, and watched the two of them walk through the long red carpet.

When they came to the door of the hall, two guards in platinum armor stood quietly on both sides. After seeing Palinsha leading someone over, they bent over to salute, and then pushed open the tightly closed mahogany door.It was unusually quiet inside at the moment, and government officials in white robes sat on their seats and waited quietly.

Looking at the scene inside the door in front of him, Lorraine Hill's footsteps became slower and slower.

I always feel that something is wrong, what step is wrong, and it has evolved into the current situation.Lorraine Hill's fingers were slightly uneasy, relieved and tightened.

I just wanted to go home and have a look. Why did it look like the king was coming back and he was about to ascend the throne? She struggled in her heart for a while, but seeing everyone's expectant expressions inside, she couldn't just run away.
