Not a Witch

"If this is the case, I think I can solve it." The silent unknown knight finally spoke.

Two weeks later, a caravan came to Viscount Winlani.

"Hello, is this the Yamazakura City?" A business lady got off the carriage and greeted the farmers beside her.

"Sakura? This is Georgetown." He put down his hoe and wiped his sweat.

"You idiot, have you read the announcement posted by the adults at the city gate recently?" A companion next to him came over, put a towel on his shoulder, and looked at the caravan with his hips on his hips.

"That's right, this is the city of mountain cherry, because the young lady likes the cherries we grow, haha." He seemed a little proud.

"If that's the case, that's right, we belong to the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce." The merchant lady has light brown skin, wearing dark red clothes, and a woven shawl on her shoulders. Not too prominent, very approachable.

"Because I recently received a letter from a friend, I brought a lot of things here. May I ask, where is the local lord?"

"This one, it's in the city. The most lively place is the Lord's Mansion. Recently, people go there every day to report and collect various things. It's easy to find."

"Is it the distribution of food?" Charlene was a little curious. Recently, many fiefdoms rebelled, and food was in short supply.

"Yes and no, in fact, they are mainly various tools for cultivating fields, but as long as you work hard, the Lord's Mansion will distribute food as reward." The farmer explained, and then smiled.

"It's much better now than in the past. It's all sent out on the same day. Even if you don't go today, as long as you report later, you will still be able to make up for it. Don't worry about missing anything."

"Thanks to the eldest lady, our family has survived the most difficult time, so we don't have to worry about going hungry."

"But Missy said it wasn't her fault, which made us feel quite confused."

"Well, the eldest lady is a good person anyway, and now everyone in the lord's mansion is a good person, that powerful knight, Mr. Guvas, Mr. Lubin, oh yes, and the lovely Miss Jialan, are all very good people."

After speaking, the farmer pointed to the field behind him.

Under the verdant hillside, a small town built of white stones stands quietly. Outside the city are square fields, many of which have been reclaimed recently. Local residents are walking in the fields, sowing and watering hard.Although he looks busy, a different kind of vitality is in his eyes.

[The sweat of tillage bears fruit]

[The bunches of wheat ears in the hand are the proof of the relationship between man and the earth]

[Even if no one agrees...but I still see it]

[For me, everyone will blossom and bear fruit]

[Precious children, there is not much I can do]

[But I will stay with you.Because, I want to commend you for your efforts]

——The Witch of Plenty of Fruits, Artatis

What is happiness, probably after hard work and sweat, reaping equal fruits.

Chapter 150 Changes in the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce

"Welcome Miss Charlene."

In the mansion in the city, Geweier and Jialan received the caravan from afar.A warm charcoal fire was burning in the living room, and several people sat on the sofa beside them and formed an irregular circle.

"Hello, Master Geweier." The business lady who had gone through a long journey sat on the soft sofa and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Because I received a letter from a friend, I brought a lot of things that the territory should need this time." After taking a sip from the teacup, the business lady calmed down a little and began to talk slowly.

"There are some grains, metal tools, seeds, ropes, and cloth and so on." She asked the entourage behind her to bring a list and handed it over.

Geweier and Jialan looked at it, nodded from time to time, and then put their hands down.

"Miss Charlene and the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce are bothering you."

"It's not too troublesome. After all, as a businessman, you must go wherever you have business." Miss Charlene smiled and waved her hand, expressing that there is no need to be so polite.

"At this point, at least the first half of the year will be enough." Jia Lan sighed a little.

"As for the remuneration, the territory will pay half of the amount first, and the rest will be paid in the form of goods in the summer."

"Well, I understand that. I said it in the letter before. But I still have to sign a contract." After speaking, Ms. Charlene also took out the contract paper that she had prepared in advance. On the paper full of light-colored patterns, write Follow clear regulations and agreements.

After another round of negotiation and discussion, the contract was stamped with the seals and spiritual imprints of both parties, and finally emitted a faint light, and a new pattern was derived to cover up the handwriting, so that it could not be changed in the future.

After finishing these business matters, Geweier invited Miss Charlene to dinner.

"Okay, we need a good rest too."

Afterwards, Miss Charlene returned to the caravan's station for a while, and soon the unknown knight came here and walked in.

In the tent at the station, Charlene looked at Messia who took off her helmet, that is, Lorraine Hill, and walked around her a few times in surprise and curiosity.

"What's wrong?" Lorraine Hill felt a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing, I'm just surprised. Think about it, after more than two months, a cute girl has become a cold and powerful hero knight, and it is said that she even fought a battle with the imperial cavalry. It’s not bold to describe it.”

After finishing speaking, Miss Charlene took a closer look at Lorraine Hill's armor.

"It feels very masculine, not as good-looking as before." She bent down, pressed her fingers on her chin, and touched the cold and solid dark golden armor with her other hand.

"The silver armor like Messia's was so cute before." She seemed a little dissatisfied, feeling that this girl didn't make good use of her appearance at all.

"But that would be very troublesome." Lorraine Hill shook his head helplessly.

The silver armor before was not a full-coverage armor, but a key protective armor. It was divided into breastplate, shoulder armor, skirt armor, gauntlets, boots, and several other parts. In some details, the girl The slender waist and good figure are revealed, which is indeed more flexible and beautiful, but from the perspective of concealment, it can't compare with this full-coverage armor.

"Actually, actually..." Lorraine Hill hesitated whether to say that Jialan was also her, so as to avoid a lot of trouble.

"Well, I can indeed understand Mesia's thoughts. The southern border is not stable now." Charlene sat down and began to talk about her recent experience.

"Shortly after you left, a major event happened in Chixin Province. The descendants of the Baskar family came back. Many local nobles and officials quickly turned to them, and then the imperial army began to reinforce and began to attack and fighting."

"Has the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce been affected?" Lorraine Hill asked worriedly.

"It has been affected. My father asked us to take a lot of people and assets to various parties, saying that eggs cannot be put in the same basket."

"The current Roentgen Chamber of Commerce has actually been divided into several parts. My two elder brothers took most of them away, and only left me a small part."

"However, if you want to say that you are sad, that's not enough. I'm not so weak. In fact, I feel very relieved, because this way I am independent, and I don't have to be ruled by my father and brothers in the future."

Miss Charlene waved the silk fan lightly in her hand, talking about the drastic changes in the past two months.

Considering the war and the fact that the Chixin Province, which is the headquarters of the chamber of commerce, is no longer stable, the president, Miss Charlene's father, divided up the assets under his name and sent several children to develop in various provincial branches.

"Actually, there are quite a few chambers of commerce that do this. Nowadays, many large chambers of commerce are aware of the crisis and are beginning to consider the way out."

"Some are flattering the high-ranking officials of the imperial legion, some are contacting the remaining feudal nobles in the southern border, and some simply transfer their assets to the middle of the empire, where it will be more stable."

...

"You said to go abroad? That's rare, because businessmen don't have great power and carry too much money. They are like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. And they are foreigners, so it is difficult to get fair treatment."

...

"Krancia? I don't know much about that country, but it looks very strong. After all, it has defeated the Empire in wars over the years. Maybe I will consider visiting it in the future."

Compared with later generations, there are no newspapers and telegraph networks today, and a lot of news is not smooth. Even after the war has ended for nearly a year or two, many people in the empire still don't know the country to the west.More people's impressions are still in the era of the Seven Snow Kingdoms, and they think that there is not as rich and prosperous as the empire.

The only one that everyone knows better is probably the alchemist of Luerna. After all, many changes in the empire over the years are related to these new technologies.

The installation of muskets, the popularity of various alchemy props among nobles, and the rumored secret weapon of Clancia's victory over the empire are all related to these.

After meeting with Charlene, Lorraine Hill put on the heavy and simple armor again and returned to the room.

Returning to Jialan's identity, Lorraine Hill lay on the soft bed and looked at the ceiling.

I feel a little tired recently. Sure enough, managing the territory is actually a hard job. There is no reliable system to assist, so I have to do it myself.

Get some help.

Thinking of this, the girl pulled up the quilt, got into the warm bed, and prepared to have a good sleep.

Close your eyes and filter out some candidates in your mind for the time being. Naturally, those students from Crancia cannot be transferred now. This will easily become interference in the internal affairs of other countries and leave behind historical problems.

But starting from scratch completely felt a little unnecessary.

This is the same as playing a game. If you work hard to level up, if you don't use it, you will feel a little bit aggrieved.

Thoughts turned in her mind, and the girl turned again in the bed, continuing to think.

I don’t know if the Carites Chamber of Commerce under the name of Lacey was included in the agreement at that time. After all, this chamber of commerce also has a lot of overseas industries. Those branch members of the Southern Islands do not belong to Clancia. to assist.

But such words seem to be suspected of cheating, and Lorraine Hill is a good boy, and he doesn't like cheating a bit.

Forget it, let's ask Tides, I believe this smart senior has many methods.

Slowly, the night gradually deepened, and some stars appeared in the sky outside the window, twinkling and twinkling, and the quiet night spread in the small town.

Chapter 150 Four Once Two Children

Southern Islands, Coconut Wind Island.

On the large island of thousands of square kilometers, there are patches of green coconut trees, shaking and shaking in the sea breeze, making a slight sound.A flat road with the width of two carriages surrounds the whole island and connects most of the areas. Many light-colored buildings appear and disappear among the coconut trees.

This is a big island in the Kingdom of Young Berry. Because of the mild and comfortable climate, about 60 people live here. The island is rich in coconut trees, which is why it got its name.

A slight roar came from the road, and then a magic locomotive drove across the road, heading towards the port.

This new type of magical locomotive is much lighter than those bulky predecessors, and its style is somewhat similar to the old car that Lorraine Hill remembered, with taller and narrower tires.

Its power source is a new type of magical steam turbine, but it is a reduced version for the convenience of the people. While the power is reduced, the cost is also much lower, which is gradually acceptable.

As the roar of the magical locomotive stopped, it lightly braked to the side of the road, and a blond young man got out of the car.

He then closed the car door, and the pattern of lacquered night flowers can still be seen on it, which is the logo of the Carites Chamber of Commerce.

There are many tourists in the port now, they come from other islands, or Clancia.Since the people have become richer, travel has gradually become popular, and it is too dangerous to go to the empire, so the close Southern Islands have become the first choice of many people.

A large cruise ship docked at the port, and passengers stepped off it one after another.

The young man stood at the exit and waited patiently. He wore a brown magic mirror and occasionally looked at the pocket watch in his pocket to confirm the time.

About ten minutes later, a girl in light purple and white finally walked down the steps of the cruise ship.She was holding an umbrella with a pendant, a white suitcase in her hand, and a complicated dress.

After seeing the girl, the young man waved, and then the girl turned around and approached slowly.

"Brother Yige, please come and pick me up." After the meeting, the girl saluted briefly, lightly shielding the sun with one hand, and smiled.

"Actually, it's okay. I just happened to be experimenting with a new magical locomotive recently." The young man took the suitcase from the girl's hand, and the two walked out of the port together.

"Oh, didn't you fly the aircraft? Some time ago, I communicated with Uncle Terry, and he said that the aircraft you designed has entered the stage of mass production." After seeing the magical locomotive, the girl put away her umbrella and walked away. Go to the back seat and sit down.

This magical locomotive is in the style of an open top, and it looks very comfortable.

"That's right, but the matter of the aircraft has come to an end, and I can't be free, so I find something to do."

"Hehe, it's really the same as Sister Lacey said, you always like new things so much."
