Not a Witch

"Ah—" Facing the sudden contact, the girl screamed, but to her surprise, the other party didn't kill her, but lifted her up.

"Is there another companion?" Seeing the female knight lying in front of Xia Lanluote, the voice was a little hurried.

He pulled the pink-haired girl up and put the female knight on his shoulders.

"Follow me!" After he finished speaking, he grabbed Charanlotte and let her follow behind him.

"But..." Cialando still wanted to say something, but at this moment she didn't know how to explain it, so she could only glance at the phoenix in the night sky, followed step by step, and gradually disappeared into the depths of the forest. place.

A few minutes later, a group of soldiers searched here with torches.

"There are traces of their stay here!"

"Can you see where they're going?"

"It's hard, the ground is full of rotting leaves, footprints are not easy to leave, and the sky is dark..."

"Look! Keep looking, and you must not let these bewitching civilians go. They escaped from Zishan Province. If they can't be encircled and wiped out, they will be another group of scourges."

"Further south, there are the southern provinces of the empire. The situation there is even worse. If they enter there to develop, it will be like letting fish into the sea, causing rebellion."

"We are the emperor's eyes and sharp swords, and we will never allow the existence of those who violate the emperor's will. It is a dream to reproduce everything in Clancia!"

"This is the glorious and glorious Canghong Empire!"

"Yes!" Several investigators in black led the soldiers and scattered into the night again.

Chapter 150 Sweat and the Earth

"Good afternoon, Miss Gravell."

In the courtyard of the mansion, the eldest lady was sitting in a pavilion, flipping through relevant history books on the southern border of the empire, and taking simple notes from time to time. After hearing this greeting, she raised her head curiously.

"Mr. Lubin?" Today, the financial officer of the territory is still neat and capable, with booklets and cardboards in his hands, recording something at any time, and a copper needle pen in his chest pocket.

"I'm bothering Missy."

He bent over to salute, and Iyena, who was behind Geweier, also looked at the elder brother curiously. He is a busy person now, so why did he come to see the eldest lady here.Even if it is a report, isn't it also a small gathering in the afternoon, when Mr. Unknown and Mr. Gowas will be there.

"There is a special thing here today. I would like to recommend a consultant who can bring a lot of help to the construction of the territory."

"Well, can you tell me who it is?"

"This advisor is from the Plantagenet Dynasty in the east. She is an oriental scholar. I believe her profound knowledge can help everyone in the territory. Now she is outside the door. If you allow me, I will let her come to see you. "

After listening, Geweier hesitated a little, and then looked at Iyena beside her. This maid has always been the representative of Mr. Unknown, and I don't know if that Mr. agrees and cares.

"Let's meet first, miss." At this moment, Iyena seemed to suddenly think of something, and she crossed her fingers and squeezed.

"Ok."

Jian Geweier nodded, Lu Bin clapped his hands, and then a guard came outside the mansion and let a girl who had been waiting for a long time come in.

She was wearing an oriental-style robe, holding a thick book in her arms, a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose, long light blue hair, and her eyes were like jasper, very gentle.

This girl looks about 17 years old, very young, although she has a bookish temperament, but it is really difficult to make people believe that she has a wealth of knowledge.

"Hello, Miss Gewier." She held the book in one hand, lifted the skirt with the other hand, bowed her head in salute, and then raised her head.

"Hello." Geweier looked at this special girl, she seemed to have a different kind of breath, like a new wind in the forest, refreshing and comfortable.

"My name is Jialan. I come from Huiluzhou of the Plantagenet Dynasty. I am a student of the Scorching Sun and Xiangyu School. Maybe you can understand it as a school of mages who specialize in cultivating extraordinary people." Her voice was like an orchid, clear and soft .

"I see." Geweier nodded, and then asked curiously.

"Miss Jialan is here to study in the Western Continent. I rarely see Orientals."

"Yes, because I encountered a bottleneck in my practice, I came out to travel and exercise. I happened to pass by this place recently, and felt that some local things are very interesting, so I wanted to stay for a while."

"If Miss Geweier doesn't dislike it, I can also contribute to the construction of the territory."

"This is naturally welcome, but I can't make decisions on the matters in the territory alone. The specific arrangements may have to wait until the evening to discuss with everyone."

"It doesn't matter." After finishing speaking, the girl nodded again.

After a few people chatted in the pavilion for a while, Lu Bin went to attend to his own affairs, leaving Geweier and Jialan to continue in the pavilion.

"This is black tea from the territory, and I don't know if it suits Jialan's taste." Geweier asked Iyena to prepare new tea, and the two continued to talk.

Holding the porcelain cup with bright yellow patterns, Jia Lan took a sip, then nodded in approval, which also made Geweier feel a lot happier.

"Jialan should be able to feel the big difference between her hometown and here. I heard that the dynasty in the east is very powerful."

"There are indeed many differences, such as food, customs, systems, concepts, etc." Lorraine Hill briefly concluded.

"For example, in the East there are specialized agencies and officials to deal with various matters, but here the local lords decide on their own. Sometimes it feels chaotic, and there are even big differences in the laws of different places."

"Although this allows the nobles to easily adjust according to the situation, the difficulty is entirely on the lord, and it is inevitable that some of them are not careful enough." She didn't want to talk about too illusory ideals, but simply analyzed from the perspective of facts.

"That's true." Geweier thought thoughtfully.

"Then if Jialan, is there any better suggestion and method?"

"Of course there is. In fact, this is what I want to try during my travels, and that is how to build a unified and harmonious country." After speaking, Jialan blinked, and then covered her mouth and nose to show a bit of a smile.

"Does it feel a bit whimsical, but there is indeed a special knowledge in the East, which is about this."

"Those sages always seemed to be working tirelessly to achieve that ideal, the ideal called 'peace and prosperity.'"

"Occasionally, I will be affected by it, and I will think about some problems, but I also know that fantasy cannot solve the problem, and I still have to explore and try step by step."

"Is it such a grand ideal..." Geweier looked at the clear light yellow tea in the cup, and gently stirred it with the spoon.

"How can it be called a 'peace and prosperity'? I heard from my father that as long as a person is human, there will be ugly and evil parts."

"Yes, humans are also animals, and they always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. You can't let him harm himself and make others better, it's wrong." The girl replied softly.

"If the environment encourages doing bad things, obeying the rules and doing good will only bring harm and harm, and then even how much encouragement will have little effect."

"It would be wrong to accuse people of being old by the decline of the world. It must be that the environment has changed first, which gradually led to the current situation."

"But it's no use blaming the environment, it's reality, capricious and ever-changing."

"So, in order to deal with this change, we need an inhibitory force to adjust, compensate those damaged objects, and restore balance, and the state plays this role."

"But this is difficult, because even the emperor cannot know everything and adjust everything clearly and fairly."

"Yes, but not unsurpassable."

"Just as a human being has no wings, it doesn't mean he can't fly."

"What was impossible in the past may be possible in the future."

"If this generation fails to accomplish, the next generation may not be hopeless."

"In order to reach the sky, we can use our wisdom to create our own wings."

"In order to reach the other shore of our dreams, we can also create the ideal and perfect country in our minds."

"If a person cannot know everything, then let more people assist. If the living beings cannot detect all the confusion, then rely on tools and skills to achieve better results. If the world does not have such things, then create what we want."

"I think what I said was very obscure, but Ms. Geweier should be able to understand a little bit."

Geweier looked at this oriental girl, and countless curiosity arose in her heart. She actually vaguely understood the meaning of this paragraph.

In an ideal country, the emperor may not be necessary, but more likely redundant. If the nobles cannot manage the territory well, then use suitable people, tools, and methods to rule.

I'm sorry, I can't say the rest, Lorraine Hill thought to himself looking at Geweier who was thinking quietly.

Regarding the future, people actually have many assumptions. When AI and electronic technology become more and more developed, many past evil deeds will gradually disappear, because the soil for evil deeds will be lost.

The new technology can easily find the trace, thanks to this, many Sherlock Holmes have already lost their jobs.

Even if it cannot be completely eradicated, at least it is gradually improving compared to the past, isn't it?The only regret is that the lifespan of an individual human being is not long. Compared with the long river of civilization that spans tens of thousands of years, it is just a glimpse of a small splash.

His thoughts turned, and it seemed that Geweier at the table no longer struggled with these profound questions.

"Can we have dinner together tonight? I think I have a lot of questions for Miss Jialan."

The sun gradually slanted, and the time came to the afternoon.

Guvas, Lubin, and the unknown knight came to the hall of the mansion one by one, where Geweier and Jialan were already sitting.

Looking at the slowly approaching 'knight', Lorraine Hill shook his senses and distracted himself from the manipulation.

Naturally, there is no one in the armor now, it's just an empty shell. She relies on the power of the holy object to distract and manipulate it, and imitates the magic fluctuations of the extraordinary core, so that no one else can notice it.

In addition, there are several people who know the truth to help cover, so there is no need to worry about being exposed.

After sitting down, Lu Bin and Geweier introduced Xia Jialan, a scholar from the East, to the others.Gu Huasi and the 'Unknown Knight' nodded to express their approval, and then they reported and discussed the things in the past few days.

"I have received news that the battle in Chixin Province is over for the time being." Gu Huasi said the news he had finally obtained.

"It is said that the military mobilized 6 troops and several elite regiments to suppress the Baskar family's resistance."

"However, according to the news, the little princess of the red dragon still survived the battlefield this time and fled to an unknown area."

"Now the imperial army has begun to increase its search teams, patrolling many provinces in the southern border, and many nobles have also been summoned and held as hostages in the provincial capitals to prevent rebellion by the descendants of the red dragon."

"This will probably bring a lot of obstacles to our work." Lu Bin pushed down his glasses and explained briefly.

"Because the search will also find those colleagues, and they will also be hunted after their identities are revealed."

"So time is a little tight, we have to prepare early."

"About this, I think I might be able to provide some help." Jia Lan (that is, Lorraine Hill) raised Bai Hao's wrist.

The girl pulled out a page from the thick book in her hand and spread it out on the table.

"This is the Eastern Dynasty, the training method of the 'Birin Army' and the method of making supporting weapons."

[Birin Army] (Evaluation: Silver Level): In ancient times, the imperial forest army of the country with chimneys, the people at that time worshiped the sacred tree and the jade dragon, and the soldiers guarding the sacred tree equipped themselves with a scale armor like jade porcelain, Hence the name.

The official members of the Bilin Army are all natural sequence 4 or dragon sequence 4 or above, and they have learned [Shenmu Changsheng lv.3] [Jade Scale Body Protection lv.3] two skills, the former can continuously heal injuries, and the latter can increase Defense is a legion with very strong combat effectiveness. If it is equipped with corresponding weapons and armor, after formation, it can be compared with ordinary Sequence 5.

[Blade of Jade Steel] (excellent silver level): There are five styles of sword, sword, halberd, dagger, and axe, and the color is like jade. Armor-breaking lv.2] Two special effects.

[Birin Armor] (rare silver level): This armor is also made of jade steel. The outer layer is made of jade-colored scales, which can resist sharp weapons. Shock and blunt weapon, with [Sturdy lv. 2] [Buffer lv. 2] [Insulation lv. 2] three special effects.

Due to the withering of Jianmu in the past, such Imperial Forest Army naturally gradually disappeared, but the girl now has the fruit of Jianmu and the power of the Harvest Witch. It is not difficult to cultivate Shenmu again.

In addition, the special steel required for crafting can also be produced with the holy object [Zhan Tie Stowett]. The price is that the activity of this holy object will be greatly consumed, but now there is no need to save it.

In order to avoid suspicion, Lorraine Hill specially did not use the various crafts and military systems of Clancia this time, but adopted the arms of the Eastern Dynasty. Although some of the skills are a bit outdated, fortunately, after her deduction and improvement during this period, It should be enough to adapt to the current battle.

"These are training programs for the elite corps. As for the ordinary corps, I personally suggest adopting new-style muskets and uniformly deploying them," the girl explained.

"It looks really powerful, but now we don't have such a big budget." Geweier shook his head helplessly remembering the little wealth left in his family.
