Not a Witch

Immediately, he raised his body and looked at Charlene.

"I said before that we need a tuner from the Musical Instrument Workshop to assemble the piano. Have you brought it?"

"We discussed this matter with the musical instrument workshop, but several masters in the musical instrument workshop expressed their unwillingness to leave Dragon Wing City. You also know that the southern border has not been peaceful recently..." Charlene carefully considered her words, And listening to her words, Viscount Mo Ruo frowned more and more deeply.

"But fortunately, we still found a person who is capable of tuning and assembling for you. He is an apprentice of Master Ji De. He is now skilled and can fulfill your needs." Charlene asked the members to come over A young man in his 20s.

The young man was wearing a dark green turban and a light robe. Looking at the slender fingers, it made people feel a little more trustworthy.

After looking at this tuning apprentice for a long time, Viscount Moruo snorted indifferently.

"My patience is limited. You must assemble the piano before the sun sets today, or you will bear the consequences." After speaking, he left with his hands behind his back in dissatisfaction.

"Kevin, bring a few people to help, and try to let them get it done as soon as possible." His commanding voice came from afar.

"Yes, my lord." Kevin stood at attention again and replied.

The originally relaxed atmosphere in the castle became awkward and tense.

"It's okay, you can do it after studying with Master Ji De for so long." Miss Charlene had no choice but to comfort the young apprentice beside her. Seeing from his appearance, he seemed to be frightened by Viscount Moruo's aura.

After all, they are just ordinary civilians, and they can't even imagine what it would be like to offend a real nobleman.

After explaining something, Miss Charlene came over.

"Sorry, Mesia. I wanted to show you around here, but I have to do other things first."

"How about this, I'll ask a few companions to arrange a place for you to live in the small town, and take a rest first."

"It's okay, work is important after all." Lorraine Hill shook his head to express his indifference, and then walked out of the castle with several caravan members.

When she was about to leave, the girl caught a glimpse of the figure behind the glass window on the castle tower again, but because of the angle, she could see it clearly.It was a girl in a lotus leaf round neck dress, about 20 years old, with fair skin and dark golden curly hair.

Is it Viscount Morrow's daughter, but she doesn't look like him at all.The girl thought for a moment, then walked towards the gravel path on the hillside.

After arriving in this small town, some members of the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce had already rested. They rented a yard specially for storing goods and carriages, and many accompanying personnel were also arranged here.

"Miss Mesia, this is the room arranged for you. What do you think?" After getting along these days, most of the caravan members also got to know this Miss Swordsman.

"Yes." Looking at the room on the second floor, although the decoration is simple, but fortunately it is clean, the girl nodded.

"Then let's rest here first, we will stay for a few more days." The young man from the caravan briefly introduced the next itinerary.

After coming here, in addition to handing over the goods, they will also buy some local specialties before leaving, staying for about a week in the middle.

In this way, Lorraine Hill stayed temporarily, taking advantage of the time to be alone and stable to practice his current Transcendent Sequence.

The sky gradually darkened, the birds in the forest sang and flew low, and the setting sun in the distance dyed the leaves in the shade of the forest red.

A sound of pressing the piano resounded in the forest. Although it was not rhythmic, each sound was pressed back and forth several times.

"Is it all right?" Miss Charlene looked at the apprentice who was wiping his sweat.

"It should be all right." The apprentice answered a little unconfidently. Although he couldn't find any faults so far, he still didn't dare to guarantee it.

"It's still a little while before dark, let's check again. Viscount Moruo is still very demanding."

"Hmm." Then the apprentice carefully played and observed again.

Charlene turned around and looked at the gradually darkening woods around her, feeling that the evening wind had also become a bit cooler.

I really don't know how Viscount Mo Ruo usually maintains this place. It feels like there are no protective measures. Wouldn't there be wild animals coming over on weekdays?

Charlene was thinking in her heart, her eyes swept across the ground.

"Ah! Snake, snake, snake!"

Suddenly, a terrified cry sounded in Charlene's ears. When she turned her head, she saw a long snake the same color as a fallen leaf wrapping around the apprentice's ankle, biting her thigh directly with its teeth. The scene was chaotic and panicked.

The long snake with the pattern of dead leaves is not too big, but the twisted body and the triangular head make people feel creepy.

In this regard, Charlene couldn't help but take a few steps back, feeling a little flustered for a while.

"What's the matter?" Hearing the shout from the mountain behind the castle, Kevin, the captain of the guard, rushed out of the castle.He jumped out, ran down the steps quickly and alternately, and entered the small forest.

Seeing that the apprentice had fallen to the ground and began to twitch, Kevin grabbed the snake's head, pulled it out, and then kept shaking it, throwing the snake to the side of the tree trunk.

It's a pity that this snake didn't seem to be an ordinary creature, but a magical beast with extraordinary attributes. It twisted on the ground for a while, but it didn't die, but rushed out to the middle of the forest.

"Damn it!" Kevin yelled, his eyes swept away, he needed a weapon.

As if remembering something suddenly, he reached out to his waist and pulled out a small knife with the length of his thumb.Touching the knife, a burst of cold blue light spread over it, and then held by Kevin, he rushed towards the fleeing poisonous snake.

In a quick step, the withered leaf snake was caught up, and Kevin reached out to catch it again.

The moment the snake was held, it struggled violently, turned around and bit down with its fangs.It's a pity that Kevin was wearing armor all over his body, and only a little black smoke came out from his fangs biting on it, but it didn't penetrate.It currently only has Sequence 1, and it's not very powerful yet.

Holding the back of the snake, Kevin cut it off directly with a small knife, split the snake's body in two, and then chopped off the snake's head several times in a row.

The withered leaf snake, which lost its head, writhed on the ground, and then slowly stopped after a long time, becoming only active occasionally.At this time, the woods finally became quiet again.

At night, Lorraine Hill walked out of the room and went downstairs to eat.

Came to a tavern next to it, where many caravan personnel were already drinking.

"Hey, Ms. Hero, you're here too." A group of people waved and greeted her, which made many local residents curious.

Because it was not wartime, Lorraine Hill did not wear armor, but simply wore a blue and white dress with a long sword on his waist.

After sitting down, she ordered a few local specialties, and then sat and listened to everyone talking and chatting.

"Have you heard that there seem to be more monsters in the forest recently?"

"It seems to be like this. A few days ago when Uncle Mond went on patrol in the mountains, he met a special black wolf. Although it was only Sequence 2, it looked very cunning. After following for a long time, I saw Uncle Mond enter the city. Just stopped."

"No, when I passed by the birch forest that day, I heard a terrifying low growl, like two monsters fighting on the other side of the forest. Unfortunately, I was too timid to go and look. I still don't know what kind of monster it is."

"I remember that they were cleaned by the army the year before last, why are there suddenly more of them now?"

"I don't know, maybe it came from other places? I heard that some monsters will expand their territory after they advance, and then drive other monsters in the territory."

"But I haven't heard of any particularly powerful monsters nearby. It's really strange. These monsters seem to have appeared overnight."

"It's very difficult for an ordinary beast to be promoted to a monster. It takes too many chances."

"I don't know." A resident shook his head.

"Recently, Lord Viscount sent an order to tell the residents of the city not to go up the mountain as much as possible. Although it is a kind reminder, it is quite strange, because this Lord usually doesn't care about outsiders sending them to death."

"Could it be that some secret treasure was found in the forest?"

"Haha, you've heard too many stories about bards." Everyone burst into laughter as they spoke.

"Forget it, forget it, I heard that Lord Viscount has issued a lot of missions, so that adventurers and mercenaries will come to clean up the monsters. I think there is nothing shameful in it. I am thinking too much." The drinker Shaking his head, he lowered himself and took another big sip.

"Come on, don't go home tonight if you don't get drunk."

In the tavern in the mountain city, there was another bustling noise.

I don't think this mission is so easy.Listening to the conversation in the tavern, Lorraine Hill recalled the black bear he met on the road, and the 'Fire Eye Warbler' assassin who tried to sneak in and intercept the goods. Maybe something special happened in the territory where Viscount Morrow was located. .

Volume Chapter 87 Night in the Tavern

Inside Viscount Morrow's castle.

Thick wine red curtains cover the windows, only a little afterglow shines into the room through the gap.A young girl, about 20 years old, curled up on the sofa, her hands folded over her knees, her face buried in shadows.

With a creak, the mahogany door was pushed open, and the castle steward in black dress appeared at the door.He looked at the dark room, frowned slightly, then walked aside and opened the curtains.

With the help of the dark red afterglow of the setting sun, the butler found the candle lamp on the table, lit it, and then looked back at the girl.

"Master Mo Ruo told you to prepare, and you will act in a few days." Compared with the kind face when he was receiving the caravan during the day, the butler's expression at this time was obviously much colder.

"I'll bring you dinner later, remember to finish it, don't be hungry."

"Hmm..." The girl responded slightly without looking up.

Seeing that she agreed, the butler ignored her and was about to turn around and leave.He came here just to make sure that the girl didn't escape, although she couldn't possibly escape.

Seeing that the butler was about to leave, the girl raised her head and asked weakly.

"After helping Lord Mo Ruo to complete the task, will my mother and brother be pardoned?"

After hearing the voice, the butler turned around, looked at the haggard girl and replied, "That's right, Master Mo Ruo doesn't bother to lie to you."

"You should feel lucky. If you weren't useful, your father and elder brother would have been executed in public long ago for the crimes committed."

"Whether it is the legion under the royal family or the followers of the Baskar family, they will not tolerate such a crime as your father."

"Trying to overthrow the empire and reproduce things like Clancia is a joke in the empire. I hope you will not be as stupid as your father. You must know that every inch of land you step on today is the glory of the past." Heroes fought with iron and blood, and you are just lucky to be allowed by the descendants of those heroes to live on this land."

"Betrayers will not end well." He gave the girl a meaningful look, then turned and left.

The door closed again, and the room fell into silence, only the candle flickered slightly and emitted a slight smoke.

In the other corner of the castle, Viscount Morrow's study.

The viscount is sitting at the table at the moment, carefully studying the delicate creation in his hand. Its shape is about the size of a ping pong ball, the whole is holy white, and there are golden lines on it.At this moment, it is filled with magic power, emitting light slightly.

"It's really wonderful, just like the music in the forest." In Viscount Moruo's eyes, this small sphere was so precious and beautiful.

咚咚

After a while, there was a slight knock on the door of the study.

"Enter." Viscount Moruo put away the sphere in his hand.

"Lord Mo Ruo." The housekeeper saluted respectfully, and then entered the study.

"How about that girl?" Mo Ruo asked.

"The condition is not bad, just finished dinner."

"Very good, very good." Mo Ruo said twice in a row, a faint excitement appeared on his face, as if he was thinking of the wonderful scene in the future.

"The day is finally here." He turned to look at the wall behind him, on which hung portraits of the sages of the Moruo family, and an old family crest, which was shaped like interlaced swords and stacked on top of each other.

"Although a lot of bugs have been found near the forest recently, fortunately, the implementation of the plan went smoothly. With the help of Charlene's caravan, the key things were finally transported from there."

"Your Excellency is wise." The butler bowed his head and praised.

"Hehe, those spies probably didn't expect it either. I'll let them put this crucial little thing among the vegetables and fruits, and send it randomly along the way."

He took out the gadget in his hand again.

After the Roentgen caravan arrived in the afternoon, the piano was temporarily placed in the yard, and the fruits and the like were transported to the warehouse first, and he smashed all the melons and fruits, and finally found this little thing hidden in it.
