Not a Witch

"This, I know it's a little disturbing, but I'm also from the East, so I'm a little curious and surprised to see the same existence."

After finishing speaking, Lorraine Hill blinked her eyes, and a light red color like haze appeared in her clear eyes, and she exuded a little magic power of the sequence of dragons.

Seeing the girl's extraordinary ability, the two maids glanced at each other, hesitated, and then one of them entered the backyard of the temple to ask the Dragon Witch.

Not long after, she came back and led Lorraine Hill into the side door.

"Please follow me." Then he took her to a pavilion in the middle of the lake in the backyard.

The light blue and clear lake is covered with marble pools, and a circular pavilion stands in the water supported by several white stone pillars. Several beautiful swimming fish circle around the pavilion, devouring a little food sprinkled on the water surface.

The Dragon Witch was sitting on the side of the pavilion at the moment, with her feet in the water, swaying slightly, and then sprinkled fish food.

Her skin is snow-white, and her golden hair is simply tied behind her head. It is divided into two bundles, which are very soft and elegant. The gauze skirt on her body is blue and white, layered on top of each other, looking cool and beautiful.

"Are you a witch from the east? I sense that you have an aura similar to mine." Seeing Lorraine Hill approaching, the dragon witch raised her head.

"I've been to the east, so she's probably a dragon maiden." The girl said a little embarrassedly.

She didn't practice deeply in the Dragon Sequence, and she is only at Sequence 3 now.

"Did you come here recently?"

"It's been almost a year." The girl recalled the time.

"Soon, I heard that the sea route has only recovered a little, and the risk is very high." The dragon witch sprinkled the little bait left in her hand, and then stood up.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Selian, and I am the Dragon Witch of this city. I am currently at level 5." She pressed her sleeves in front of her body and bent over to salute. Looking at her appearance, she seemed a little unfamiliar.

"Hello, my name is...just call me Luolan." The girl suddenly didn't want to use a pseudonym, since this name is not widely known in the Western Continent anyway.

"Lorraine, it's a nice oriental name." Celine nodded, and then invited Lorraine Hill to sit down.

"Is it because of curiosity that you came to me, heck, many people are because of this."

"Yes, because I also practice the sequence of dragons."

"It's really different from other people in the Western Continent." Sailian looked at the girl and blinked.

The Western Continent is mainly based on dragon transformation, and occasionally there are dragon riders. As for the other three veins, it is extremely rare.

"Can you tell me something about the East? Although I practice the secret arts related to the Dragon Witch, I have never left here, so I still don't know much about the outside world."

"That's it..." So Lorraine Hill recalled what he had seen and heard in the past, and patiently explained.

From the scenery and customs of various regions in the East, to those magical dragons and monsters, festivals, etc., it tells the establishment of the dynasty, the deeds and influence of the five virtues of the phoenix in the past.

Listening to the grand scene of playing birds and phoenixes on the mountain of the Yellow Sea, the Dragon Witch showed a bit of longing.

"It's so good, I really want to go and see the wonders of caves with different scenery, and the grand sight of thousands of birds passing through the sky."

"Can't you leave?" Lorraine Hill asked curiously.

"Not for the time being, because there is no one to take over. Those big guys are very picky. It took me a lot of effort to get acquainted with them."

"Indeed..." The girl nodded, and then talked about a simple solution.

"You can take them to the east, so that you will have partners on the road and get a certain security guarantee."

"That's right, but this city needs these sea dragons. If I take Hai Long away and cause disaster, I will be worried."

"It doesn't matter, just find someone to replace it." The girl shook her head, slightly encouraging.

"Hehe, how can it be so easy to find, Lorraine." She said the girl's name with a smile, and then talked about her thoughts just now.

"Actually, for a while just now, I wanted you to replace me, because the sequence of practice on your body is very pure, and your mind is also very stable."

"It's not necessary to go, because there are more important things to do now."

"After that, will you go back to the East?"

"Yes." The girl nodded, thinking of those familiar friends of the Xiangyu School, she felt a little nostalgic in her heart.

"When that time comes, remember to take me with you, and you will be able to take care of each other along the way."

"But didn't you just say you couldn't let go?"

"It's true that it's not small to let go, but well, people will grow up eventually, and maybe I'll be great at that time." Sailian covered her mouth with her sleeves and smiled.

Next, the two exchanged a lot of things about cultivation, and through this, Lorraine Hill gradually became familiar with the sequence of dragons.

A few days later, she was successfully promoted to Sequence 5 of Dragons, and Karites' fleet finally slowly arrived at the dock.

"Sister Lorraine~"

As soon as the roaring ironclad ship approached, a girl in a white dress jumped off the side of the ship and waved to Lorraine Hill to show her presence.

Under the surprised and worried eyes of others, the girl opened the umbrella, her figure seemed to be supported, she slowly descended, and finally landed in front of Lorraine Hill.

"Do you still remember me, Sister Lorraine, I am the little girl hiding behind Uncle Triton, named Luna. It's just that I have grown up a lot now."

"I'm very glad to help Sister Lorraine with more things. Today we also brought what you entrusted."

On her other side, heavy wooden boxes were also unloaded from the ship. These things seemed to be made by alchemy, like machines.If a Clancia student came here, he would immediately recognize that this was a new generation of production machinery.

In Clancia, where the industry is gradually developing, such production lines are being gradually spread to various workshops and factories. With their assistance, the production efficiency will be greatly improved.

Looking at these wooden boxes, Lorraine Hill heaved a sigh of relief, and they finally arrived. Compared with other materials, these industrial mother machines attracted her more attention.

With these, countless muskets and bullets can be produced by themselves, and with enough weapons, the conditions for all actions will gradually mature.

"Thank you for your hard work." She smiled and looked at Luna, who was about the same height as her now.

"Welcome to the country full of wars, maybe we also want to join in this endless battle."

"Let's create a new future."

Chapter 170

Zishan Province, Kuwen County.

The fire in the mountains has been burning for a whole week, and the ground is scorched black and soft, and there is a warm feeling under the feet.

The soldiers lined up in a long straight line, paying attention to the search, stabbing the soil with long spears or bayonets from time to time, looking for possible tunnel entrances.

But after searching for nothing for a long time, the commander of the imperial army began to summon the mages again, using the concussion technique to impact the ground, making sure to bury those underground passages on the spot.

In the ruined forest that collapsed like black charcoal, a pair of eyes protruded from the ground, quietly observing the approaching soldiers, and then the figure went deep underground.

There, the remaining 100 people lay in a mess in the narrow pit. During this week, they launched several counter-charges, but unfortunately all ended in failure. In the end, only a small number of people were left to hide again. .

"Have you reached this point..." After listening to the report, Tokolin stopped talking and slowly leaned against the wall.

"Tell everyone." He was already mentally prepared.

After a while of silence, everyone began to make final adjustments and rest.

Surrender is impossible, which not only deviates from their original intention, but the other party will not accept it.

Half an hour later, another disparate battle broke out. The remaining muskets were thrown to the ground after being shot. These people rushed down the hillside holding long guns and knives.

Opposite them, there are more than 2000 neatly arranged black barrels. These imperial soldiers squatted in the front row and stood in the back row, wearing red and white military uniforms, aiming quietly, waiting for orders.

"Hmph, fire!" The commander gave the order directly, unwilling to waste any time.

Continuous gunshots sounded one after another, short blazing flames joined together, and thick blue smoke floated from the dense array.

The running figures were hit by the flames, causing countless splashes of blood, like broken dolls, floating with the wind, and then slowly falling down.

Those faces looked up at the white sky, black stains and dust covered their faces, and finally their hands gradually became weak, so they let go of the long knife in their hands.

The metal blade rolled down the hillside, bumping up and down, occasionally hitting the gravel, making a sound, until it got stuck in a ravine, without a sound.

There are no heroic miracles, no shocking reversals, and everything ends in silence.

Looking at the scorched land where no one was standing anymore, the commander swung his sword and ordered people to search and sweep the battlefield.

"Report to your lord, the enemies have all been wiped out!"

Half an hour later, a soldier ran over with small steps and stood at attention to report.

"Very well, restrain the bodies of these people and drag them back."

"Yes."

Naturally, he didn't want to commemorate these idealists, but wanted to wear these corpses on wooden thorns to frighten the local residents and warn them not to wishful thinking.

Two days later, a row of scorched bodies appeared on both sides of the main road in Zishan Province. These withered bodies appeared in various postures, making travelers and businessmen passing by chill and fearful.

Countless people were silent, quietly passing these 'sculptures'.

"I'm late."

A man wearing a feather cap and a hunting suit rode across the road when he saw these scorched 'sculptures' stop and dismount slowly.

He lowered the brim of his hat, looked at the black 'sculptures' silently, carefully distinguished their appearances, and tried to recall the names.

The hand holding the rein was gradually clenched, as if to crush the leather rein into pieces.

After a long time, his mood gradually stabilized.

Writing down the names of these dead one by one, he rode forward slowly, and finally stopped under a 'sculpture'.

Torcolin...

His formidable enemy and rival in his youth had already left this world one step ahead of him.

He used to think that this opponent was so talented that he couldn't match him, and he didn't want to be tricked by fate, but the opponent left first.

Tuo Kelin used to be a nobleman, and enjoyed all the benefits of being a nobleman, but unfortunately he didn't sleep in it.

The cruelty and bloodshed that he saw with the army that year finally awakened him, and finally became what he is today.

Turning over and dismounting, standing in front of the body of this formidable enemy and friend, the man slowly took off his hat, revealing short wine-red hair and a face with vicissitudes.

Time is merciless, and he is no longer the hot-blooded boy he used to be.

Many things began to rot slowly, and everything was not what it was originally supposed to be.

I once had such a dream, that Tokolin led those energetic youths to overthrow this decadent country and establish a new and beautiful country, just like the one in the west.

Unfortunately, miracles don't happen often, and they still failed.

What is more sad than not being able to find the meaning of life is that even if you find it, you will clearly realize that you will never be able to reach that state, and you will never be able to achieve it.

How can there be so many teenagers who slay dragons? There are more weak mortals devoured by evil dragons.

After getting on his horse, the man ran off into the distance again.
