Not a Witch

The fruit that became crimson and sparkling, like a ruby, flew to the front of the boy. He stretched out his hands to hold it in the palm of his hand, and swallowed it in one bite. The scorching magic power began to flow in his body.

A pain that started from the ends of the blood vessels began to spread throughout the body, and the severe pain almost numbed his consciousness.

"Concentrate and follow my command." The girl's soft voice came from his mind, which immediately relieved the pain a lot, and began to try to concentrate.

Although Bard had never learned extraordinary knowledge or had any experience in practicing extraordinary power, under the leadership of the mythical player Roland Hill, as long as he followed the guidance of magic, he would do as he did.

In Roland Hill's extraordinary perception, a blood-red gem began to form in Bard's body, beating slowly, like the heart of a giant beast.

Finally, the Demon Sequence 4o Beast of Boiled Blood was achieved.

Fireworks are in full bloom in the sky, and residents and tourists in Hopelander are still in the festive atmosphere, but a dark tide begins to surge in the remote corners of the city.

One by one hurrying figures kept walking through the streets, knocking on the closed shops and doors one by one, and opening the dusty warehouses one by one.

A middle-aged man who had just fallen asleep opened the door drowsily. Those who were wondering who would knock on the door so late.

A dusty figure stood at the door, wearing a short robe, and his face was indistinct in the dark night.

"Is it Emerson?" the hurried guest asked succinctly.

"Yes." The middle-aged man was a little puzzled. Who would it be for coming to me so late?

After hearing the affirmative answer, the man in the short robe raised the parchment in his hand and said.

"The Tisifones have helped you in the past, and now is the time to keep your promise."

Under the light of the brass lantern, the parchment scroll was clearly written in black writing with the convocation document, and the inscription was the owner and heir of the Tisciphone family.

At the same time, there are three bright red seals on the bottom of the parchment, which are 'Dagger pierced the skull', 'Seven-colored gem flowers' and 'Tilt wine bottle', symbolizing the most powerful chamber of commerce in Hopeland, Tisifone, A Joint Statement of Nemie and Nissos.

Looking at the shocking red ink pad, the middle-aged man suddenly woke up, without any sleepiness, he asked in shock.

"Is it now?"

"Yes, bring your weapons, put on your armor, lock the door, draw the pattern of three long swords crossed on the door, and immediately gather at the Tisifone Chamber of Commerce."

"If there are no weapons and armors, the Chamber of Commerce will also prepare them, but it may not be a match."

"okay, I get it."

The middle-aged man nodded solemnly, and the messenger who notified him did not stay after his goal was achieved, and immediately went to the next house.

The middle-aged man rushed back to the bedroom and quickly lifted the bed board to reveal the low and long wooden box that was locked underneath.

Opening the lock, there was a large sword wrapped in oil paper and a set of chain mail. He immediately began to take off his inappropriate jacket and began to wear it.

"Dad, what happened, your voice is very loud?" A young girl's voice came from the next room.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a while, then continued to wear the chainmail, and said with a warning: "I will lock the door when Dad is going out, remember, no matter what happens outside tonight, don't open the door. ."

"What's wrong? Dad..."

A little girl in a light-colored nightdress opened the door. Seeing that her father was wearing chainmail and holding a cold two-handed sword, her eyes widened in surprise.

"I don't have time to explain to you, baby, don't worry about Daddy, Daddy will be back in a few days. There's still food in the cellar, don't starve yourself, and don't open the door, no matter who it is, no matter what you hear. That kind of sound, do you understand?"

"I understand." The little girl looked at her father obediently and nodded.

"Okay, okay, my good Shanna."

The middle-aged man looked at his sensible daughter, hugged her with his rough and calloused palms, and then touched her head lovingly.

After that, he took out a white chalk, drew three crossed long swords on the door, asked his daughter to lock the door, and finally rushed into the dark night without looking back.

Such a scene happened all over the city of Hopelander. Horses and carts with the logos of the three major chambers of commerce rushed through the streets, and the hawkers and tourists on the side of the road were shocked and had to avoid them.

Hopelander's top five chambers of commerce, except for the newly promoted Karites family in the past ten years, are all deeply rooted. I don't know how many contacts and relationships have been accumulated in more than a hundred years. It is also expected that even if there is no Mrs. Mera, there will be Mrs. Sela, Mrs. Mera and so on. If Angus hadn't reconciled earlier, the newly promoted Carrites would not necessarily be able to fight. past the Helles house.

The powers of several major chambers of commerce in the city are intertwined, and some outsiders are even more among you and me, and you are among me. When the three families move here, the Helis family immediately received the news.

"Miss, now the other three houses in Hopelander City have suddenly started to call in people, and even the informant said that they have prepared weapons and are ready to fight at any time."

Under the dim candlelight, Mei Lu had just walked out of the bedroom in her pajamas. Outside the door, there were several people who reported the news, along with the family's guard captains, waiting for orders.

Although I don't know the specific purpose of the other three, it is certain that they must deal with the Karites and the Helis family, because Hopelander has no other people except the two big chambers of commerce. Qualifications are so inspiring.

Mei Lu had a serious expression and ordered without any hesitation after hearing the news.

"Immediately send a messenger to inform Karites, let them know the seriousness of the situation, and ring the big bell to call up everyone in the chamber of commerce. In addition, we have old, good friends in the city who often cooperate with us. These people immediately sent familiar people to inform them one by one, and asked them to transfer to the headquarters of our Chamber of Commerce immediately, the reason is that there will be civil unrest in Hopeland tonight, and the Helis family will protect them."

"Every family said it twice. If you don't listen, don't worry about it and change to the next family."

"Yes, eldest miss." Several high-level executives who obeyed the orders immediately acted.

"In addition, send someone to open the underground warehouse of the Chamber of Commerce, take out the weapons and armor, distribute weapons to everyone, and then each of you well-disciplined guards will bring a team of ordinary personnel. Every experienced guard is the captain, immediately Organize all the people in the chamber of commerce."

"Your will, Miss." Several guard captains also hurried out.

After that, Mei Lu looked at the only remaining captain of the guard, the existence of Sequence 4 was the son of her mother's brother, her cousin.

"Brother Gerde, please organize people to guard the gate tonight, please."

"Don't worry, Mei Lu, I will protect you." The guard wearing the dark golden armor looked at his younger sister with concern, promised, and then walked out quickly, leaving a broad back.

Mei Lu stood under the window sill in the corridor and watched the rapid bell tolling in the courtyard, and then scattered lights came on. There were people running and walking everywhere, the sound of armor rubbing against each other, footsteps, shouts, and objects. The sound of moving and competing sounded, making it extraordinarily noisy at night.

"Miss, why are you still wearing thin pajamas? That's not acceptable."

The head maid walked up the stairs, looked at Meru who was still standing by the corridor window, and shouted.

"I remember that the master collected a few extraordinary soft armors before, and I will find them for you immediately. You are the owner of the family now. If there is an accident, the Helis family will be over."

"It's alright, Aunt Lig, I believe everyone."

"Besides, if even I were faced with swords, then the Helis family would not have many lives." Mei Lu turned her head, and the figure under the silver moonlight seemed a little lonely.

"No, you must wear it. You are still as disobedient as you were when you were young. Master doesn't dare to care about you now, but I dare, I raised you with one hand."

The head maid forcibly dragged Meru back to the bedroom, still speaking.

"I take care of you more than I take care of my own children. If something happens to you, I can't stand it."

Mei Lu was pulled, and although she did not admit it, there was a faint tear in the corner of her eyes.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Hopelander, House of Anemi.

The small castle of white stone bricks is built on the hillside. A long wall surrounds the land. The interior is like a park. There are thick tree canopies and blooming flowers everywhere. Even in autumn, the courtyard is not cold. , because there is a heat flow cycle underground.

The ancestors of the Anemii family loved flowers. They once spent a lot of money asking alchemists to dig geothermal pipes. The water flow into the ground and then back to the surface can bring a certain amount of heat. Even in the cold winter, a certain temperature can be guaranteed.

The beautiful pavilion on the hillside is brightly lit.

Feng Nai wore a bright yellow dress, walked through the corridor guarded by guards, and then knocked on the door of a room. After a while, the door opened, revealing the lively scene inside. A dozen high-level chambers of commerce were sitting in the small hall. , while Noyce, the head of the Anemii family, sat on the top.

Noyce is only in his early forties this year, and he is in his prime. The affairs of the Chamber of Commerce are usually handled very well. If it weren't for the civil strife in the west wind, Anemii can be said to be prosperous these years, so he has also developed Feng Nai. Carefree character.After all, his father had taken care of everything, so it was not her turn to worry about it.

"Father, I'm here." Feng Nai raised her skirt and saluted, then walked into the hall with a little curiosity and sat on the next chair.

"Lord Noyce, the Nissos family has fully acted, and Lord Felton has also arranged the manpower in several eastern districts as agreed before, and blocked the east gate of Hopelander."

"Very well, how about Tisifone?"

"Tisifone also sent people to control the north gate. Most of the northern districts are workshops and poor people, and their methods will be tougher."

Feng Nai was a little confused when he heard these words, what are you doing, why are you closing the city gate, and when did their family get so close to Nissos and Tisifone?

Just as she was about to ask, Noyce also spoke. He had short crimson hair and brown-black pupils that shone brightly in the candlelight.

"In addition to the West Gate of Hopelander that is closed on our side, and the patrol teams of the three houses on the city wall, now the only exit of Hopelander is the southern pier."

"Yes, my lord, there are not many boats on the dock, and there are not many big boats. Even if someone leaves by boat, not many people can leave." An armored guard replied.

"But why don't we send someone to block the pier?" A steward was a little puzzled.

"No." Noyce shook his head.

"Our purpose is to control Hopelander in the end, and those who are disobedient and strong will leave by boat."

"This can also reduce bloodshed and conflicts. After all, we will have to develop based on Hopelander for a long time in the future, and we can't do too much."

"Your lord is wise." Several stewards present began to compliment again. After the initial tension, everyone in the small hall relaxed a little.

"Father," Feng Nai finally asked when he had a free opportunity.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Her long light red hair was placed on the delicate dress, and the ends of her hair were spiral-shaped, giving her a luxurious and elegant look overall.

Noyce looked at Feng Nao lovingly, and then opened his mouth to explain what happened and the fact that they are now united with Tisifone and the Nissos family.

"Tisifone?" Feng Nao frowned.

Recently, Noyce invited Adley to visit several times. Adley has changed a lot compared to before. He actually showed off his cooking skills, which made Feng Nao change his senses a lot.

But today's events made her start to feel disgusted again. Is Tisifone so fond of conspiracy and tricks, and the little goodwill that had changed the bud has disappeared.

"What about the Karites and the Hellis family?" Kayuna asked.

Noyce did not answer immediately, but a senior executive of the Chamber of Commerce next to him answered Feng Nai's question.

"If they are willing to cooperate and do not resist, we will not embarrass them."

"But what if they don't want to?" Feng Nao was a little worried about his friend Mei Lu.

"That's up to them." A guard captain replied in a low voice.

"Funao, are you worried about Meru?" Noyce looked at his only daughter.

"Well, a little bit." Feng Nai nodded and looked at his father for help.

She and Mei Lu played together from childhood to adulthood. Although they often bickered, they actually had a very good relationship.

"I know, so I told them before not to hurt Miss Mei Lu. After the matter is over, you can also send Mei Lu to live in another country and make sure that she lives in a prosperous life. How about this?"

"Thank you dad~"

Feng Nai breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her worries, because her father had never let her down. As long as her father agreed, he would definitely do it.As for other things that came later, she didn't care much.

Unlike Mei Lu, who has been under the pressure of the family since childhood, Feng Nai has hardly suffered any setbacks in her growth process. Doting on a leisurely life has given her a lot of time to pursue her own personal hobbies, and she also has a natural self-confidence and pride.

Blooming like a flower, blooming like a gem.
