Not a Witch

"But, even if it's 2 legionnaires." The people present still shook their heads, they knew very well what was going on with their own guards.

"I can solve these worries for everyone." A rough voice sounded from the main entrance of the hall.

Gu Huasi walked into the meeting place step by step with his big sword on his shoulders. The rough big sword was full of scratches and dents, and there were traces of dark red blood left in it, which made the surrounding nobles feel shocked and avoided them one after another.

"We have trained a reliable elite soldier, and if we need it, we can support you at any time." He slammed his sword on the ground, and then knights in full armor entered the hall.

The emerald metal scale armor is so special, and the sharp cold jade sword is carried along with the armor friction, and a faint magical glow emerges, which makes people dazzled.

These powerful fighters fascinated and convinced the nobles present once they entered the arena.

"Although many things in the house were destroyed, luckily, in the ruins, we found the classics left by our ancestors who traveled to the East. Thanks to this, the Wenlani family now has an elite force that can fight."

"I believe that with these knights of the lake, the stability of Longjiao Province will be protected, and our glory will be continued for a long time."

"So, now everyone is willing to compose this beautiful movement with me?" Geweier smiled.

After a while of silence, warm applause sounded in the hall.

"I am naturally convinced."

Chapter 160 The Fairy Tree Spreading on the Mountain

A few white tits were squatting by the window, chirping, pecking the glass on the window from time to time, making slight noises.

The decoration style in the room is very warm. On the wooden shelves are several animal woodcarvings sent by the name of the village. Flame lynx.

The walls are light camel, and the furniture is made of fir from the nearby forest, which still has a woody fragrance. On the pure white woven bed, Lorraine is sleeping soundly.

A few tits by the window saw that the 'big bird' inside could not come out, so they pecked the window a few more times, and then flew away. They made an appointment to eat berries by the lake on the other side of the mountain, without waiting for the big bird inside .

It was near noon that Lorraine Hill woke up slowly and sat up from the bed.

Um, don't stay up late in the future, I feel very bad.

Shaking her head to wake herself up a little, the girl put on her shoes and went to the vanity mirror to comb her hair before changing into the clothes she was going to wear today.

After thinking about it for a while, she put down the oriental wind dress she usually used and changed into a set of clothes in the style of an imperial noble girl. This was recently given to her by Geweier, and it is said that it was made by a tailor in the city.The lower body is black stockings with a knee-length red pleated skirt, the upper body is a fitted shirt and waist, and there is a lighter short shawl on the shoulders.

Looking at herself in the mirror, the girl felt that this outfit was very similar to when Emenas was studying in the past. It would be in the Walled City College, and she was also like this. She often wore black and red dresses, black hair and red pupils, and Ke Tie went to and from get out of class together.

It's nostalgic.

Putting the hair in front of her behind her shoulders, the girl's hair color changed to a light blue color again, and then she walked out, and she was going to start working again today.

After developing from Viscounty Winranee as a stronghold, various nobles in Longjiao Province were roughly united.

Of course, Lorraine Hill knew that they didn't have much sincerity, they were just taking pictures of the situation.But what does it matter? If she didn't want to keep a low profile and develop for a while now, she wouldn't want to do so much cover-up work.

As long as they stand on their side on the surface, the operatives in the organization can easily infiltrate the entire province without worrying about being wanted and killed as in the past.

By the way, these people who are ready to innovate and change the empire and have a common ideal have named their organization 'Dryer Wood'.

Dryas, Rosaceae plants, mostly grow in alpine permafrost. Because they like cold, such plants are not common in people's living environment, but it does not mean that they are rare, and they often grow in a large area of ​​mats when they appear.

Pieces of fairy wood will bloom in the cold mountains. Its petals are white, with a circle of bright yellow stamen filaments in the middle, and a light yellow style in the middle, just like the heart of a sunflower that has shrunk many times.

This kind of flower is particularly cold-resistant. In the past, local people only saw a few on the top of the mountain, but now they can see large pieces on the hillside, because there are pieces of dryas in full bloom on the cold and lonely mountain, which has a sacred beauty. People think this is a good omen, so the organization finally chose this code name as its name.

Like a fairy tree, it blooms in the wild.

-----

Walking into the lord's mansion, the staff greeted the green-haired girl one after another, and then continued to hold various documents, registering and recording the reports busy.

Now this place is getting more and more lively, and many educated and trained mature personnel have joined in, assisting Lorraine Hill with various matters. As members of 'Dryswood', they all wear a white gold medal on their chests. badges in the shape of flowers for identity.

"Good morning, Miss Jialan."

In the meeting room, Geweier was sitting at the table with a cup of steaming black tea in front of her. It seemed that she had just arrived.

"Good morning, Miss Geweier, and Iyena." The girl nodded and sat down immediately.

Afterwards, Gouworth, Lubin, and the 'knight' who covered the armor also stepped into the meeting room and sat down.

These are the five people who are currently in charge of the territory. Most of the big and small matters and policies are discussed and decided in this conference room.

"Is there any new news recently?" Lorraine Hill took out a pen and held it in the palm of his hand, looking at Lubin who was aside.

The veteran and leader of the 'Dryasma' is not only the financial officer in the territory, but also the intelligence leader, sorting out the news from all sides.

Lu Bin pushed down his glasses, then turned over the paper in his hand, and began to describe one by one.

"The first is the news from the northern border of the empire. The cold wave is still continuing. Even though it is already June, the temperature in most areas is still very low. The snow does not melt, and it is impossible to plant crops and graze."

"Considering that there should have been food reserves or leftover food last year, but the temperature has not picked up in the second year, if this continues, it may cause a frightening famine." His tone was a little worried.

"Afterwards came the news from Titania, the capital of the empire. Because the emperor's child is about to turn three years old this year, many nobles will go to celebrate. It should be very lively at that time, and the southern border will settle down a lot at this stage."

"This is a good opportunity for us, ha ha." Gu Huasi smiled, and patted the table with his thick palm.

"In addition, because no news of the Red Dragon Princess has been found after several months of searching, the military has gradually given up and started to reduce the dispatch of search officers, and concentrate on training and expanding troops."

"It's good news, but it's also bad news." Lorraine Hill nodded slightly.

"Finally, it is the situation in Longjiao Province that we are gradually grasping." Lubin paused, and then introduced.

"Longjiao Province is located on the northwest side of the southern border, that is, above the dragon's head, near the edge of the western border and the central part. It has more than 400 million people. It has 2 counties, 16 viscounts, and 68 baronies. The canonized knights are about More than 600 people."

"Today, Longjiao Province has about 10 tons of food reserves, most of which are stored in castles and warehouses of nobles, and civilians only account for about 30%, which is barely enough to feed the entire province for three months."

"Refer to the famine in the north and the impact of the cold wave in various parts of the empire. Food will become a scarce commodity in the next few years."

"Then how much food can our territory and Longjiao Province save this year?" Geweier asked curiously.

"Because of large-scale wasteland expansion and reclamation in our territory, and the help of Ms. Jialan, we can probably harvest 15 to 25 tons of grain this year, which means it can supply the residents in the territory for more than two years." Facts Above all, this is Lu Bin's slightly conservative calculation result. After all, he has never seen the girl's real means.

It's still not enough, Lorraine Hill thought to himself, this is already very fast, but compared to the entire southern border, or the empire, it's just a drop in the bucket.

We have to be faster, and try to integrate resources as soon as possible to reduce internal friction.

In addition, regarding the cold wave in the north, I don't know how the witches on the side of the empire think about it. Are they more anxious than themselves, or are they indifferent?

In other words, taking advantage of this stable time, maybe I should go to other places in the southern border to see if there are opportunities in other places, or potential like-minded allies.

People are still needed to do great things, just like what I said to Pullman in the past, with more people, there is more power, and this is exactly the purpose of wanting to change the empire.

...

"So, let's end here today."

After discussing some recent matters, the meeting ended and Lorraine Hill stood up.

"I'm afraid I will leave the territory for a while during this time."

"Is there something wrong? Jialan." Geweier looked up, a little curious.

"Well, because our goal is not just Longjiao Province. Now that the surrounding situation is gradually controlling and stabilizing, it's time to go out and have a look." Lorraine Hill talked about his plan to travel around the southern provinces in the next few months.

She intends to go to other provinces to see if she can support forces with common aspirations, or allow more members of the 'Dryer Wood' organization to spread.

"Is it unsafe to act alone?" Geweier didn't know the strength of this Miss Jialan, but looking at such a young age, she shouldn't be particularly powerful, probably?

"Don't worry about that." Lorraine Hill waved his hand, saying that he hadn't been underestimated for a long time.

"Don't worry, I will use letter bird to contact you from time to time, about 2-3 days."

Seeing that the eldest lady was still a little worried, the girl had no choice but to raise her hand to show it.A tiny seed germinated in the palm of the hand, and soon extended outward, gradually forming a natural wooden long sword.

Hold it in the palm of your hand, and simply wave it, a sword light is aimed at the place outside the window, but before it flies out of the room, the girl's figure is like a blurry TV scene, and the trajectory in front of the window emerges, another sword , Block your own attack.

The time difference was less than one second, such a silent and ghostly movement surprised everyone in the hall.

Guvass: Unexpectedly, this is a rare strong player. If I fight her, the winning rate is probably not high.

Lu Bin: As expected of a hero, so powerful, maybe such a person can save my sister from the chaos.

Iyena: Sister Messia is really powerful, but that night, I felt that she could be even stronger.

Geweier: Is this the true strength of Jialan? Even in the East, such a talent can be considered rare.

----

In the following June, Gouvath was busy continuing to train those 'Knights of the Lake' according to the classics left by Lorraine Hill. Lubin began to improve the training system of 'Dryer Wood' in the rest of the financial work, and tried his best to stay hidden.

And our Star Witch boarded the carriage again and headed south. This time, she might be going to the southernmost tip of the empire, Linchao Port.

There, she will receive reinforcements from the far southern islands.After her arrangement, the Carites Chamber of Commerce has now begun to prepare all kinds of weapons, armor, military supplies, cannons, and even skilled personnel and craftsmen.

These fleets loaded with goods will arrive in the empire in batches, and the earliest batch is also agreed to arrive at the end of August.

ps: The Younger Dryas event is a major turning point in the development of human beings. Under the approach of severe cold, this kind of small flowers in the frigid zone spread from north to south like a wave. The land was covered with ice and snow, and the creatures gradually became extinct. The life of hunting and hunting began to develop agriculture, and civilization was gradually born from this.

Chapter 160 Two Seven-Colored Fireflies

After bidding farewell to Longjiao Province for the time being, Lorraine Hill changed into clothes that were easy to move and set off again.

Silver hair fluttered in the wind, and the galloping figure flitted across the forest and mountains. The area where no pedestrians were seen was as familiar and clear to her as the back garden.

The airflow in the shade is fresh and comfortable, and the airflow blows over the cheeks and skin. No matter how many times, I will never get tired of this feeling.

The movements and creatures within a radius of ten miles can be clearly seen in the mind, and every trace of wind and air flow outlines the world, so moving and beautiful, even the weeds and flowers that can be seen everywhere are also blooming in the sunshine and breeze .

Compared with complex and changeable social relationships, Lorraine Hill prefers the simple and comfortable nature, with the breeze blowing by his ears, the unfettered feeling, no matter how many times he will never get tired of it.If it weren't for the responsibilities and missions on her body, I'm afraid this girl would have stayed in the forest and lived a leisurely life.

After entering the empire, she was busy with all sorts of things, although it was not too much for her to bear, but she was still a little depressed. After coming out this time, she flew happily in the sky like a wild bird.

Leaping out of the emerald green forest again, the body rushed to the empty sky, and the magnificent world stretching for hundreds of kilometers below appeared in the eyes again.

Living in small cities, mountains, forests, grounds, etc. all year round, limited by viewing angles and obstacles, it is difficult for creatures to observe from a higher and broader perspective.

The world is still this world, but as long as you turn your perspective slightly, you will find a completely different scenery.

Just like glass, when you are stuck at an angle, it is so boring and boring, but when you rotate it gently, it will refract the sunlight into a colorful halo, showing a different kind of beauty.

The empire is sinking, full of hunger, lies, bullying, despair and pain, which makes Lorraine Hill sad, but looking at it from the perspective of time, human beings are lucky.
