Not a Witch

Lorraine Hill has a different passion for growing fruit trees.

Maybe it's the sweet taste of the fruit that is very charming, or maybe it's the fruits that are held in the hand, which makes people full and satisfied. Watching the small fruits grow up slowly, there is always a kind of expectation and happiness.

Looking forward to the coming of the next season, looking forward to another harvest year, and sharing this bountiful harvest with friends.

"What kind of fruit does Geweier like to eat?"

Carrying her skirt and walking carefully among the turned ridges, the noble girl raised her head and looked at the figure in front of her.

"I don't particularly like or dislike fruit, as long as the taste is sweet, I can accept it."

"Is it sweet? There are so many choices like this." Lorraine Hill looked at this terraced orchard.

Although most of the land was given to the working people, she left this piece for Gerwiel.If nothing in the territory belongs to her anymore, I'm afraid she will feel a little lost and uneasy.

Although this piece of land is not big, it can still grow some fruits, not only to meet the consumption of this noble girl, but also to earn some pocket money.

"Then let's grow cherries." Speaking of which, Lorraine Hill's favorite fruit when he was a child was cherries.

Because there is a cherry tree not far from the door of my hometown, but the cherry is a small light red cherry, small in size, with a sweet and sour taste.

Geweier agreed, she also likes cherries more, perhaps because this mountain forest produces a small amount of cherries, which makes her very familiar.

Under the careful preparation of Lorraine Hill, the improved cherry tree seedlings were planted one by one in the mountain field.

[Purple branch mountain cherry] (rare gold grade): The improved variety of mountain cherry needs to grow in slightly moist slightly acidic soil. It can slowly absorb the surrounding mana by itself, and gradually improve the surrounding environment, making it more suitable for self-growth. (Extraordinary fruits will not be produced in the first three years, then fruits with extraordinary effects will gradually condense, and silver-level extraordinary fruits will be condensed after nine years.)

The fruit can be used to make wine, eat, or make extraordinary potions to improve physical fitness.

Although the effectiveness of this extraordinary crop is not strong, its advantage is that it does not require much maintenance, and it will slowly improve the living environment on its own.

Geweier stood beside the knight, holding a water bottle in his hand and poured water gently, watching the soil under his feet gradually become wet, forming a small pit.

"Is this enough?" She asked the adult beside her.

"Well, it's not too bad." The girl under the mask nodded.

"Well done, Gravell."

"Thank you." Geweier felt a little joy in her heart, this was her first time working in the field.

Although I can't do any heavy work, some simple jobs seem to be fresh and interesting.

"Take good care of it, it will grow up slowly." Lorraine Hill looked at the lush mountains, and a kind of expectation gradually rose in his heart.

After completing the development of the fields and orchards, Lorraine Hill also began to let people integrate the situation in the entire territory.

There are about 24 people in Viscount Winranee. The capital is George Town, which is now renamed Yamazakura City. There are more than 4 people living in the city, and there are 5 small towns under it, each with about 1 to 2 people. On the left and right, around the town, there are scattered villages, dotted among the mountains, rivers, and fields.

The Wenlani family holds the title of viscount, and there are three barons under them, who are also lords of three small towns. Now these three lords are staying in their own towns to wait and see the situation. Rebellion.

A river flows from northeast to southwest, slanting through a large area of ​​territory, Yamazakura City is located on the north side of the upper reaches of the river, and the rest of the towns are distributed along the river downstream.

In the mansion in the city, a large map was laid out on the table, and several Viscounty managers were discussing their future goals.

"The barons in these three towns must be cleared." Gouhuas pointed to the three lands with high interest on his face.

"It must be best for us to take care of everything. Where can we let them occupy these places."

"Ahem, if this is the case, will it attract the attention of the military? After all, they will take away the land of the lord under his command without a reasonable explanation." The two have the final say, then I am nothing.

"Heh, how can the military care about such trivial matters now? It has long been transferred to the vicinity of Chixin Province to surround the princess of the red dragon." Gu Huasi is not a person with no information, and understands the current situation.

"So, it's a very good time. Just give me 10 warriors, and I can take it easily. In fact, [-] people are enough, but we need a little more people to maintain law and order." He patted his solid chest like a metal shock. ring.

This powerful warrior of Sequence 6 is like a giant beast in a small place in the southern border, and it is difficult to find an opponent.

"What does Lord Wuming think?" Geweier looked at the silent knight and asked softly. She never expresses her opinion first, as long as she follows this Lord.

"Unification is naturally good." The rusty voice started.

"But the name is very important. After all, we have to show the vision we have imagined, not just repeat everything in the past."

It is undeniable that the imperial system also had glorious moments in the past, and that was the choice of the times.

But everything is gradually changing. When the times have come to this point, some things are gradually no longer suitable, and people need a new, more progressive social environment.

It's like the old cpu is no longer suitable for running new and huge programs, and the increasingly complex and changeable production relationship requires a more reasonable structure.

The imperial system in the past was suitable for simple farming. The society was structured on the basis of civilians-knights-nobility-superior nobles-emperor. If we enter the industrial age, the people will no longer be limited to a narrow land.

The society needs a large number of educated people to carry out technical work, and various industries will continue to be refined and deepened. This cannot be solved by the simple imperial system.

Why did the ancient nobles reject certain new technologies and new industries, because this would shake the foundation of their rule and make the sacred aura on their heads fade away.

When people are gradually educated and see the laws of certain things, they will naturally no longer believe in the so-called natural nobility, and the irrationality of the past will become more glaring and unbearable.

It's not that they're rebellious, it's just that they can't allow their intelligence and reason to be humiliated by such low-level tricks.

Facing the people of these new eras, what kind of world will you show them so that they will be willing to believe and join.

Describing the future is so important, because everyone has expectations, so they will work together to complete the day-to-day work with a hoe or a wrench.

Because of trust, all good things are born.

Chapter 140 Five, the Silver and Purple Maid

Imperial capital, Titania.

Flying birds bring the breath of spring, and the green vines in the corner of the wall once again pull out curved buds, slowly climbing along the delicate sandy wall.

In the new year, the royal family held a spring celebration as usual. Both the queen and the regent attended the palace square, and waved to the crowd amidst the fluttering of flower petals to show their closeness.

Outside the city, the tall city gate is enough for the giant statue of war to walk straight in, and the ancient gate still has carvings and paintings from nearly a thousand years ago.Vines, flowers, butterflies, the moon, and roses together outline a fairyland-like beauty, with the gracefulness of elves and the gorgeous style left over from the ancient true red empire.

Now the tall door is slowly opening, and the caravans and pedestrians who have been waiting for a long time in the early morning enter the city one by one.

Carriages passed by one by one, some of them were full of goods, some of them were simple and rough with charcoal for burning, of course, there were sporadically decorated carriages coming, but they walked through another entrance, which is very It is clean and spacious.

The pale golden sun slanted on this blue field. A noble carriage bounded with copper horns slowly climbed up the hillside. The two black horses pulling the carriage were very handsome. It seemed that it didn't take much effort. The distinguished guests deliberately slowed down for comfort.

"Hello." Seeing the carriage coming under the city gate, several guards in red stood up and asked about the situation. This was the request of the commander of the imperial army, De Rosa.

"Hello, all the guards of the empire." The coachman was a decent butler, and he greeted the guards with standard etiquette.

"Hello." Simply nodded, and then the guards asked the butler to come down to register.

"Earl Gekouan?" Looking at the name and personal seal left on the booklet by the steward, several people looked a little more curiously.

There are no more than 80 great nobles with the title of earl in the empire. After a long time, some prominent families can always be remembered.

Earl Gekouan used to be the chief of the defense corps near the imperial capital, but unfortunately he was on the wrong side during the coup, and was transferred afterwards and no longer served in any military position.

As the guards stationed in Titania all the year round, they have naturally heard of this name, but such memories are indeed a bit distant.

"Exactly." The butler nodded, without explaining which of the earl's family members was in the carriage, and then returned to the carriage and drove into the city.

Behind the glass windows in the car, there are two layers of curtains, one layer of white gauze and one layer of dark blackout.

Behind the white gauze curtain, a pair of pupils observed the outside world, looked at the well-trained imperial guards, and nodded slightly.

"What do Lord Elio think of these soldiers?" While observing with these eyes, a pleasant voice rang in his ears, and the soft breathing made the young man slightly restrained.

"Koros, you're too close." He turned his head and looked at the charming witch sitting next to him. She had silver-purple hair and was wearing a black and white delicate maid skirt. He looked at himself teasingly.

"Oh, isn't that good? Now I'm the young master's personal maid, and I have to take care of your daily life."

This witch seems to like this kind of role-playing game very much. She bent down lightly and looked up at the handsome boy in front of her. The curve of her waist was outlined by the black and white maid skirt, which made people feel a kind of youthfulness and beauty. .

"Okay, Kornos, stop molesting Elio." Another maid came over and pulled the witch's body up slightly to let her leave Elio's side.

"Thank you, Sister Anna." Facing the maid, Elio finally relaxed as if he had encountered a big sister who made people depend on him.

"Anna always faces Elio, so he won't become mature." The frozen green witch who was pulled aside was slightly dissatisfied, sitting on the opposite sofa like an angry little girl.

"If maturity refers to proficiency in teasing and playing with women, it's better not to be that mature." Anna poured steaming hot tea for Elio and Kornos, which was just boiled with the equipment on the carriage.

The orange-red and transparent tea swirls slightly in the porcelain cup, exuding a faint fragrance to dispel the winter chill.

Kornos held the teacup, took a sip, and looked at the street outside the window.

"It's still the same as in the past. This street has not changed for more than 200 years." Although this witch looks young, she has actually lived a long time.

"What did the empire look like in the past?" Elio also became curious at this time.

"In the past? In fact, the difference from the present is not that big. If you really want to say the difference, I'm afraid there are fewer people. Many places will be very peaceful and peaceful, not as noisy and noisy as it is now." Kornos gently stirred the cup, occasionally Knock it with a spoon for fun, and listen to the crisp sound from the rim of the cup.

Looking at this young and mature girl who is difficult to judge simply by appearance, Elio felt that the witch is really an existence independent of race.

They seem to have a childlike mind and are interested in many things, but under the seemingly innocent appearance, they also understand many long-standing truths, which is hard to fathom.

"Is Elio guessing my mind?" Kornos raised her head and looked at the young man in front of her.

The young man who had been caught in his thoughts all of a sudden seemed a little embarrassed. He hadn't fully adapted to the transformation of his status, just like those children in the city. When facing such a beautiful female side, he was always a little shy and not good at growing up.

"Giggle~" Seeing Elio turn his face away, the silver-purple-haired witch made a pleasant voice like a silver bell.

"Don't guess, I won't lie to you. I am happy when I am happy, and sad when I am sad. The smiles and tears are as real as I think in my heart." This witch just narrates briefly, and the words are full of moving temptation .

"Because I am a witch, not a girl, nor other women, I don't need to deliberately please anyone to distort what I want."

"Maybe very willful, but such a witch is easy to understand, isn't it? If you want to pursue me, it is also possible. I have a long life, and I will spend some interesting time with you." The witch turned her head slightly. Her hair was hanging down on the table, her silver pupils looked at the young man, and the fine sunlight shone on her through the curtains.

Elio looked at the silver-purple witch in the morning light, his heart seemed to be shaking, as if for a moment he wanted to agree to all her demands and spend the rest of his life with her.

"You can't watch it." A pair of gentle hands covered Elio's eyes from behind, protecting him from the temptation of the witch in front of him, and his body and mind gradually calmed down.

Anna slightly covered Elio's eyes, and looked at the witch in front of her warily.

"Don't forget, although a witch is a blessing, she is also a disaster." An ancient proverb spread in the mainland.

Chapter 140 The Sixth Gentleness of the Spring Rain

Viscount Winranee.

At the beginning of February, Gu Huasi, the guard commander of the Viscount Land, led a raid on several small towns in the land, and kidnapped the three barons back to the city of Sakura.

These barons were then placed under house arrest in a small courtyard in the city, and several towns in the Viscounty's territory were completely taken over by new personnel.

Because of the indiscriminate disaster, the families of several minor nobles wanted to report to the provincial capital, but unfortunately, most of the legions in the southern border had been mobilized to Chixin Province to suppress the rebellion, and no one was sent to uphold justice for them.

Or maybe in the eyes of these officers and officers, these little nobles are just mosquito legs, and they are not worth standing out for.

After the preliminary unification of the Viscountdom, Lorraine Hill's side also temporarily stopped.

In fact, she didn't expect to rely on force to solve the problems in the southern border, not to mention that it would be difficult to fight one by one, and she would gradually expose her existence.

Still have to pick up some publicity work.
