Not a Witch

Rubbing her tired forehead, the eldest lady stood up and walked to the window to see who was playing there.

In the round pavilion in the courtyard of the mansion, a girl with green hair reaching waist was sitting sideways on a stone bench with her eyes slightly closed, playing the fife.

The color of the flute is yellowish yellow, and the surface is warm and moist like jade. Under the flow of the breath, it makes a moving sound, which is continuous.

Looking at the blue-haired girl with her eyes closed and serious about playing, Geweier also calmed down rarely. She sat near the window sill and listened quietly, her anxious and apprehensive heart gradually eased.

Like the gurgling water passing through the cobblestone-paved brook, the clear water flowed quietly along with the singing of birds in the mountains.

After the end of the song, the surroundings were quiet. After a long time, there was a burst of footsteps and yelling again, as if the world had stopped in the few minutes just now.

When Geweier looked up again and looked at the round pavilion in the courtyard, the blue-haired girl was no longer there.

While lamenting the mystery of this girl, she also recovered to a good condition and returned to the table.However, today's work seems to have become a lot lighter.

The days passed slowly, March drew to a close, and April, full of flowers, came gradually.

On the bare branches of the trees, flowers of all sizes bloom one by one. The light white and pink complement each other, filling the empty space and bringing people a different kind of vitality.

Seedlings planted earlier are now growing.

With the support of the girl scholar from the east, the agricultural development in the territory is exceptionally good, and many residents are thankful and praying for it.

"I haven't seen such luxuriant growth for many years, and it has not been affected by diseases and insects. It is a miracle." The miracle in the eyes of ordinary people is like this. Big, step by step towards maturity.

Planting crops is not as simple as in the game. In fact, weeds, pests, barrenness, drought and floods, etc., will cause crops to die midway.If it is a normal harvest, it is relatively rare. Therefore, many places will hold harvest celebrations to congratulate this rare season.

Now walking on the city wall of Yamazakura City and looking down, you can see neat green waves, those young leaves, swaying in the sun and wind, like a soft tune, which makes people relax and intoxicated.

Walking in the fields, stretching out your palms and stroking the tips of the grass leaves, you can feel a soft touch. The slightly moist and tender leaf tips always remind people of the rich beauty of the future.

Thanks to this, the original backlog of hostility and resentment in the territory has also dissipated a lot, and everyone saw each other with a lot of smiles on their faces.

"Perhaps, this will be a new beginning."

Sitting on a high hillside, Gu Huasi held a light green grass root in his mouth, rested his head on his hands, leaned against the stone, and looked at the world below.

Then he closed his eyes, feeling the comfort of the breeze on his tanned skin.

This originally tyrannical man has learned a bit of delicacy now, and slowly realizes some happiness in life.

The good development of the Wenlani territory was gradually known by the surrounding counties and territories, and some farmers occasionally sneaked over and began to settle here.

For these people, although there is no bad expression on the surface, in private, Lorraine Hill will let people register and settle down, and let them familiarize themselves with the new rules in the territory, and gradually integrate into this group.

When the busy spring gradually passed, the militarized training in the territory also began.

Under the blossoming trees, a quaint knight stands with a sword. Compared with the past, now 'him' has an extra cloak on his shoulders.

The background color of the cloak is blue, and the sides are white. It flutters in the wind from time to time, unwinds slightly, and makes a whirring sound.

Looking at the old or young, tall or short faces, the girl under the mask slowly swept across.

In fact, she is not good at giving those passionate speeches. If she is asked to write the manuscript, it will be fine, but it will be difficult for her to read it out.Always a little embarrassed, even if you try to cover it up in other ways.

But as the current spiritual leader of the territory, it is impossible for 'he' not to come out and express a few words.

"Now the harvest is in sight, but it is not time to relax."

"We still face a lot of challenges, maybe from other bad guys who are snooping, and inquiries that maybe don't understand."

"So, are you going to hand over these things to others?" The voice was calm and clear, and it was a little less 'husky' in the past.

"Never!" The high-spirited response sounded from the mouths of these newly promoted soldiers.

"Very well, then let's begin."

"The kindness that is weak and deceitful will only make the wicked push forward."

"The most just and peaceful prosperous age is bound to be accompanied by the most powerful force and violence. Stop indulging in dreams and delusions as in the past. Only the gun and sword in your hand are so stable and reliable."

"I'm not saying that force and violence are everything, but I want to tell everyone that this is not something that needs to be rejected and rejected. If we can't consciously or even bravely defend certain things, one day, these beautiful The things that belong to us will also be stolen by corrosion and leave us."

"The establishment of the building, the reason why it cannot fall down is that it needs solid pillars to support it, and you——

It is the pillar supporting the building. "

"You must be more firm, powerful, and reliable than ordinary people. You are the foundation stone in the turbulent flow, the dam against the torrent, the sword and shield facing the bow and arrow, and the sharp blade that pierces the enemy. You are an unrivaled existence. "

The knight raised the giant sword and swung it down. Countless air currents hit the face, passing through everyone's ears, and lifted their clothes. It was like whistling, and it was like a blade brushing against his cheek. .

"Yes, sir!"

Everyone was in awe, and then began to follow the previous teachings and started a new day of training.

During the afternoon break, the unknown knight came to the side of the training ground.

Under the shade of the tree, Miss Charlene sat at the round table and waited here early.

"Thank you." She naturally knew that Mesia was inside the armor, and nodded with a smile.

"It's nothing." There was no one else around here, and there was no need to worry about eavesdropping. Lorraine Hill and Charlene started talking.

"I didn't expect Mesia to be so powerful. It doesn't look like she is an inexperienced young lady." Miss Charlene was surprised at the girl's familiarity with military training.

"Well... probably I have seen a lot before, so I slowly learned a little bit." Lorraine Hill recalled the past training in the National Knights in Clancia. Although she was not the head officer, she I have also seen too many excellent generals how to lead the army.

Those generals who came out of the training and learning of the war during the process of Clancia's independence are by no means people who only talk about wars on paper.

"Currently, the discipline has improved a bit. As for the Transcendent Sequence, there is no rush to think about it. It's about weapons, so I'll trouble Miss Charlene."

"Well, this is already being prepared. But it will take some time for the customs clearance documents to be approved." Charlene nodded.

Some time ago, Mesia approached her, hoping that she would act as a middleman to purchase some muskets from the Southern Islands or Clancia to enrich the current armament.

"Our Chamber of Commerce is an old acquaintance at the customs, but even so, we can't suddenly import a large amount of overseas goods. We always need some means to cover it up." Miss Charlene explained the reason.

There are more than 30 large chambers of commerce like the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce in the southern border, and they have a lot of wealth. Therefore, they have a large network of relationships and can get a lot of news.

"Now the legion directly under the royal family in the south has started another round of searches, and the customs is more troublesome than before."

"But Mesia, don't worry, it can still be done if you bring something in."

Seeing her assurance like this, Lorraine Hill can think of the corruption and greed of the imperial customs, but at this time, he also has to thank these greedy people. It is because of them that the progress of the empire's collapse has been accelerated a little bit.

I hope a better order can be established in the future, the girl thought to herself, then stood up.

In this way, a relatively stable spring gradually passed.

In the past few months, the investigators of the empire have continued to search the southern border, looking for the trace of the red dragon princess, but there has been no result, and some forces that have fallen to the Baskar family before have shrunk back and plotted one after another. Clear the relationship and go into hibernation.

----

Central part of the empire, Bitter Spring County, Limestone Province.

The land here is gray-brown, mottled rocks are exposed on the ground, there is little soil and vegetation, and it looks barren and barren. In fact, there are indeed few people living here.

Most of the water in the ground or in the creeks is bitter water that is not suitable for drinking. If you drink it, you will feel dry and dry, and you may even suffer from some kind of strange disease. However, only a few places have sweet water wells that you can drink.

Two figures in gray robes walked on the barren rocky Gobi, blending in with the surrounding environment.

The sun scorched the earth directly and fiercely, and the air near the ground expanded with heat, distorting the light slightly.

"Is it coming soon?" Xia Lanluote's weak panting voice came from under the veil.

"It should be right ahead." Fenice, who was walking ahead, turned her head, looked at the exhausted young lady, helped her up, and the two walked forward slowly together.

Although Xia Lanlote's performance is not good now, Finnis does not mean to despise it. You must know that they have trekked in this desert for nearly two weeks, and it is not easy for Xia Lanrote to survive until now.

What they faced was not only the harsh environment, but also the giant pampas eagles that descended from the sky from time to time and attacked them. These giant eagles were ferocious Sequence 5 monsters with a wingspan of more than ten meters, like small airplanes , with broad and powerful wings, and those pair of sharp claws, can easily scratch the lion's skull and peck it.They are the highest predators in this Gobi.

"It would be great if my partner was still there." Finnis bit her lower lip. She is a Phoenix Knight of Sequence 5, just like the Dragon Knight. She needs to cooperate with the Phoenix to maximize her strength and separate After that, the combat effectiveness has dropped a lot.

Cialando: "Sorry."

Phoenix: "No, it's actually still alive, it's just that I won't be able to see it for a while."

As extraordinary beings who resonate and cooperate with the phoenix all the year round, they can roughly feel whether each other is alive or not.

"Perhaps where is it recuperating now? After a while, it will come back to us." Finnis said her thoughts firmly, and then moved forward with Charanlotte.

The two walked through the jagged stone steps. These cracked stones on the ground were like irregular hexagonal stone pillars, with ups and downs. They jumped down carefully and entered a deeper and deeper canyon. Seeing the narrow terrain, the hovering pampas eagle didn't continue to chase, but changed to other targets, looking for today's food.

The pendant held in his hand shone with a different kind of brilliance, and the cracked stone pillar gradually trembled, and slowly fell down in a trembling tremor, revealing a hidden entrance, and the two walked in slowly.

A dim jewel lamp lit up on the stone wall, leading the two of them to gradually move towards a natural cave underground.

At the end of the road, a huge stone gate stood in front of him. The gray stone wall was rough and full of red rust and water stains. On the stone gate, the carved coat of arms could be vaguely seen.

It is not the red dragon with a black background that has been handed down to later generations, but the twins with their backs to each other. One of them is laughing and the other is sad. They lean against the gap in the middle of the stone gate, as if they are telling an ancient story.

"Is this the remains left by the ancestors of the Pascal family?" Cialando hesitated.

"It's true that the style is different." Compared with the famous Dragon of Doom, this kind of coat of arms and engravings is a bit more elf style, or an older strange legend.

"Twins..." Cialando whispered to the two carved figures, recalling the origin of the royal family, the marriage blessed by the twins.

"I will know the history of it in the future, but for now, let's try to open it first." Charanlotte stepped forward, cut her hand, blood bleeds, and pressed on the door.

Finnis also held the pendant close to the door. When it leaned against the door, it emitted bursts of brilliance, and then burst into a whitish light.

Under the reflection of these lights, the faint blood seemed to come to life, flowing quickly on the door, and then came between the fingers of the two characters, and finally condensed into two blood-colored roses.

The stone door that had been closed for hundreds of years gradually moved, and the dusty atmosphere slowly escaped from the door, and then a resplendent hall gradually appeared in front of the two of them.

The ground is full of extraordinary gold coins. These gold coins minted hundreds of years ago are still bright and shiny. The brilliant red stone pillars stand upright and support the high dome, which is decorated with emerald vines. It seems to be an extremely rare coin. The green metal brings these carvings to life, and they have not faded for hundreds of years.

The massive amount of gold enough to submerge a football field reflected the brilliance under the brilliance of the gemstones. There were also several exquisite treasure chests piled up inside, marked with the styles of swords and armor, telling the descendants what was kept in them.

Finally, at the far end of the hall, a pair of golden and red thrones stood on high steps.

The throne is made of magnificent gold and rubies as a whole. The two seats are parallel to each other. Two scepters are placed on both sides of the armrests, one of which is carved with floral decorations wrapped around roses, and the other is decorated with decorations wrapped around dragons. Exquisite.

This throne seems to tell the latecomers that in fact, a long, long time ago, the royal family and the Baskar family were so inseparable, like twin brothers.

Or maybe they are real twins, but one of them separated later.

Chapter 150 Eighth Afternoon in Early Summer

When the gentle breeze blows in May, the strings of light green broken leaves hanging from the eaves shake slightly, exuding a faint fragrance.

The leaves and stems of these thyme are gradually drying in the breeze, and when the residents cook meat, they will pick a little and grind it into powder, and add it to remove the fishy smell and increase the fragrance.

Although in the past, this was something that only rich people would prepare, but this year it seems to be more abundant, and ordinary people can also get a lot, hanging under their own roofs.

Viscount Winranee.

With the arrival of early summer, many crops are approaching maturity step by step, and the barren land in the past is now a lush and lush scene.If you walk into the depths of the field and lie down quietly, you will have the illusion of being submerged in a deep jungle.
