Not a Witch

Soon after, this 'sculpture' burst into flames and burned up, leaving only gray powder that surprised the patrolling soldiers.

----

The flaming meteor pierced the night sky, leaving a long tail of flames, and two small figures descended on the most wild province in the southern border, a sparsely populated, dangerous and isolated place where monsters and dragons are rampant.

Jumping off the fluffy back of the phoenix, Ciaranlotte and Finnis stood on the top of the hill, overlooking the undulating red rock forest. The scorching and poisonous breath gushed out from the cracks in the ground from time to time, and some large pythons with the same color as the rocks were entrenched On the side, a few lava suzuka with long horns jumped over various gravels, looking for the dry mushrooms growing in the mountains.

These fiery-red veined mushrooms are a local specialty. It is said that they only grow next to geothermal crevices and have the magical power of heat poison.

In the sky, above the dark clouds, a pitch-black shadow slowly descended, and then that oppressive figure appeared in the vision of the living beings.

With red iron scales like rocks, a ferocious head, and two rows of curved horns like teeth, this strange dragon swooped over the ground, and the strong wind brought by its wings lifted the stones and smashed them into pieces.

The heavy mouth opened, like chewing a chicken, crushing the Suzuka, boa constrictor, stones, etc. on the ground together.

The sound of crunching bones and broken bones sounded from time to time, and violent magic flame explosions burst out of it, but these were of no concern to it.

It is the famous dragon in the south, Zevermos.

As a special Sequence 7 of Dragons, the wild horned ancient dragon, its strength is far beyond that of a general Sequence 7, even in the face of a Sequence 8, it can still fight.

"Sooner or later, I will make it surrender."

Xia Lanluote stood on the top of the mountain, facing the painful wind of sand grains, fixed her eyes on the ferocious dragon, and slowly pulled out the long sword from her waist.

She is no longer a child. As a descendant of the Baska family, she should be in charge of the dragons in the southern border and the most powerful violence in the world just like her ancestors.

The dragon of evil thoughts, the dragon of tyranny, no matter what kind of vicious name it is, only with the power in hand can people listen to their thoughts with peace of mind.

Chapter 170 The Carriage in the Summer Forest

The long convoy was passing through the forest road, and the green and yellow leaves scattered on the canopy of the carriage, on the capes of the riders, and on the dry gravel.

Looking over the undulating and winding road in the mountains, slowly upwards, three huge mountains stand on the ground, and this road is like a tiny hair in the mountains, which can be ignored. . .

Among them, the foot of the mountain and part of the mountainside are covered with some trees, which reflect golden and emerald light in the sun, and the top of the mountain is rugged and hard rock, like a blade ridge.If Lorraine Hill were to explain it, she would definitely say that this is the icy landform described in the book, but the locals would call such a mountain the Dragon's Back.

It seems that the back and ribs of the giant dragon can be seen in the rocky ravines, and the figure standing at the foot of the mountain is so faint and small that people can't help but feel a kind of natural grandeur and majesty.

In the carriage, Lorraine Hill was sitting on a comfortable sofa looking through the list of goods delivered this time. A little sunlight fell on the paper through the thin curtains, reflecting light yellow light and shadows.

There are many things.Lorraine Hill was a little happy, as if he had a good harvest in the farming game before. Looking at the various fruits and grains piled up in the warehouse, he would feel a touch of happiness and joy.

This time, Carites' fleet brought a lot of fruits and food from the Tisilan Mountains, because the rabbit-eared people generally worship this silver-haired girl, and they even built a large local cellar to store and send food. Fruit for this maiden.

Every year, new fruits or grains are put into the warehouse, and then they are kept fresh under the care of the local rabbit ear arborist, so that they can be preserved for many years.

Regarding these fruits, the attitude of the Rabbit Ear Clan is probably similar to the tributes offered to the gods. Although the girl is not a god, she also said that she can't eat too much, but everyone always does these things enthusiastically.It seems that only in this way can I express my gratitude, otherwise, I will feel a little uncomfortable.

Later, Lorraine Hill also let it go, and simply treated these materials as some kind of strategic reserve grain or public materials, and kept them there.

Nowadays, Mira has been taking care of her. This girl from the Rabbit-Eared Clan is already a famous angel high priest in the Tisilan Mountains, and her appearance has not changed. It is the same as before. Around 18-20 years old.

The bunny-eared girl is born with a youthful appearance, coupled with the healing and maintenance effect of the Angel Sequence itself, it is estimated that after many years, this rabbit-eared girl will look more mature.

Because of the long-distance transportation, this time I also specially selected a batch of excellent extraordinary fruits, including about 50000 silver-level extraordinary fruits, more than 2000 gold-level extraordinary fruits, and 60 pearl-level extraordinary fruits.

In terms of food, there are more than 300 tons of bronze-level [Golden Maple Rice]. These crops are specially used to cultivate warriors and assist in the cultivation of Transcendent Sequences.

There are very few words about weapons and blades, because such things are too sensitive, so they simply brought in more than 300 skilled craftsmen, some of them came from the rabbit ear tribe, and some were employees of Carites. Various industrial chains will soon be established.The construction of factories and mechanical creations such as forging steel and molds are already ready.

With these, the development in the territory is like taking a super-fast highway, saving at least 10 years of time.

After closing the list, Lorraine Hill put it aside, with a lot of confidence in his heart.Only then did she realize that the girl in the purple dress opposite was looking at her all the time.

"What's the matter, Luna?" This girl has light golden hair color like cream, and the dress on her body is white, with fine lavender decorations on the corners, which looks very beautiful.

"No, I just feel that Sister Luolan is still so young." She shook her head, her light blue eyes closed and opened slightly.

The girl in front of me has long silver hair, which is slightly different from the black hair she remembered in the past. According to Yige, this is the original appearance of Sister Lorraine. Looking at the expression of reading carefully under the fine sunlight, It seems that the chirping of insects and birds in summer has also softened.

The fair cheeks, soft curves, and even the fine hairs on the face can be seen under the sunlight, making people think that she may be really young, about the same age as herself, or even younger.

However, this is not the case.Luna complained a little in her heart.

Sister Lorraine is a few years older than me, and her back is still the one I imitate and follow, so it is impossible for her to be younger than me.

In the Carites Chamber of Commerce, the older generation gradually retired and began to enjoy a stable and comfortable retirement life, while the new generation of young people was slowly emerging.

Because of the good benefits in the Chamber of Commerce, most of the new generation has received a complete and high-quality education. It is also because of the experience from childhood to adulthood that they have personally experienced the gradual expansion of the Chamber of Commerce and the life changes brought about step by step. They may be better than the older generation. People (of the Angus generation) were more loyal to the organization.

This stems from the kindness brought by the chamber of commerce, but also from the admiration for that legendary young lady.

Maybe Lorraine Hill didn't know it herself. Although she was not in the Chamber of Commerce all year round, the various legends left behind did not dissipate because of this, but became more and more widespread.Perhaps this kind of half-covered mysterious whereabouts is even more full of fantasy.

"Is Sister Lorraine planning to fund a certain nobleman and help her rise?" After the two chatted for a few words, Luna finally asked the curious question in her heart.

Hearing such conjectures, Lorraine Hill stroked the hair on the side of his ears, and replied with some distress and cuteness, "It seems to be so on the surface, but the ultimate goal is not so simple."

"The aristocratic system is still too backward, but it is really difficult for people to accept new things at once, so we can only do it step by step."

After introducing her general goal, Luna nodded in agreement.

She wasn't surprised at all that the silver-haired girl was going to change the crazy thinking of the entire empire, but she felt that she was worthy of being sister Lorraine, that she would do such things.

According to my previous guess, the pattern is still too small.

If it's for making money, gaining power or something, then why did Sister Luolan come here and spend so much time, she really has a more ambitious goal.

Conquering the empire and unifying the continent is romantic.When she was a child, she often heard Uncle Triton bragging about what she would do in the future. Which of those guys who were drunk in the tavern had never had such a dream.

But now Uncle Triton may have forgotten all of this. He recalled the scene he saw when he went home some time ago. Uncle Triton, who was potbellied, was sitting by the pond in the courtyard fishing, with several peeled coconuts beside him.Seeing his contented appearance, it's not easy for him to complain.

Although a little disappointed, Uncle Triton is now able to live a leisurely and comfortable life, and he feels very happy. He no longer has to run around and stare at him like he did when he was a child.

When the matter here comes to an end, I will go back to Banlan Island to see Aunt Su Lisi. I heard that she now runs a small theater and brings out many young children to live a healthy and happy life.

As for Uncle Allen, he is now the captain of a sea-going ship, and he usually only comes back once every half a year, which is rare.

Sure enough, compared with Uncle Terry, everyone has a lot of pursuit. I don't know what kind of psychological drive made this uncle rush into the fire and rescue himself, but I still can't figure it out.

After going back this time, ask Grandma Chelsea to see if she can arrange a suitable job for Uncle Terry, otherwise this uncle will become a big fat fish.

In the carriage, Luna raised her head and looked at the world outside the window.

On the vast hillside, the outcropping rocks are bright white in the summer sun, and the gentle wind blows through the woods at the foot of the mountain, bringing a burst of warmth.

Chapter 170 Two Three Organizations in the Dark

After unloading the goods, Carites' fleet returned, and there were about 500 people who stayed to transport the goods together, most of them were craftsmen, and a small number were guards and trade personnel of the chamber of commerce.

Although with the help of storage space, there are still a lot of goods that need to be transported by horse-drawn carriages, but the fleet is also very long. There are about 50 horse-drawn carriages lined up in a long line, walking on the undulating mountain road, like ants moving, submerged in the green among the sea of ​​trees.

It took about a week to pass through the coastal provinces, and at this time I returned to the Blue Clothes Province.

After stopping in Ladored, everyone was finally able to rest for two days. The facilities here are complete, there are sufficient food and water sources, and it is also a relatively stable area. Unlike some provinces, nobles are particularly sensitive to caravans. harsh.

"Meet again, Miss Mecia." In the living room of the mansion, Lorraine Hill took Luna to entertain the local big businessman.

"Hello, Mr. Kurea..." The girl was sitting on the sofa at this time, and the maids were serving hot tea.

"I didn't expect Miss Mesia's caravan to arrive so soon. It's really surprising." Curea picked up the tea, blew on it, and then took a small sip.Seeing his satisfied appearance, he seemed to be admiring such tea.

Of course, this is the extraordinary tea produced in the Tixilan Mountains, so it is naturally a rare high-grade tea.

After the two exchanged a few simple greetings, Lorraine Hill asked the businessman why he came.

"I don't know what kind of cooperation Mr. Currea is here to negotiate."

"It's not that it must be a business matter, but I'm a little interested and curious, and I want to make friends with Miss Messia." He didn't hide his thoughts, his figure was stretched, and he had a calm demeanor. .

"In the future, Miss Mesia can come to me if she encounters any troubles during her business in the southern border. I think I can still help you in this regard."

"Then what do you need?" Lorraine Hill looked at this man, he didn't seem like the kind of woman-obsessed or irrational person.

"Of course we also have some appeals, that is, compared with other chambers of commerce, we hope to obtain priority in purchasing and purchasing."

"This....is not a big problem." Because the only thing hanging under the 'Black Rabbit' Chamber of Commerce is the special fabric.

"Hahaha, I know that Miss Messia is still quite surprised and puzzled, but please believe me, there is really no malice in it."

Afterwards, Mr. Kurea chatted for a while before taking his leave.

"I don't know if Miss Mesia is free tomorrow, but some friends and I have prepared a banquet for you."

Hearing such an invitation, Lorraine Hill thought briefly, then nodded in agreement.

"Then I look forward to your arrival." After speaking, the tall man picked up the hat in his hand and put it on, waved his hand, and walked out of the courtyard where he lived temporarily.

The living room fell silent, Luna looked at the leaving figure, and asked curiously, "Has this man cooperated before?"

"Actually, I only met twice. I signed a contract with many people at that time." The girl shook her head. She couldn't think of the purpose of Curea's invitation this time, but she was not afraid.

"Get ready tomorrow, Luna will go with me too."

"...Oh, me?" The fair-haired lady blinked, then nodded.

"Well, I see." Compared to Lorraine Hill, Luna is actually more like the eldest lady of the chamber of commerce.

This is the only surviving descendant of the Filaru Chamber of Commerce. Although he did not inherit the legacy of the previous Chamber of Commerce, he has seen and understood a lot of the internal situation of Carites in the Southern Islands these years. Not unfamiliar.

"Actually, it's because I often have things that I can't get out of, so I'm afraid I have to ask you to come out to help with business-related matters." Lorraine Hill looked at the grown-up girl, feeling a little emotional in her heart.

Time is so fast.

"I would be proud if I could help Sister Lorraine." Luna said she didn't care, smiled, and then asked Lorraine Hill for the content of the previous contract.

----

At noon the next day, in Curea's mansion.

The clear water of the pool has a light blue color, swaying in the sun. Not far from the pool, several tables are placed on the grass, with various fruits and snacks on them, which are very delicate.

Several guests were chatting happily. They sat casually under the white umbrellas, drinking cold and sweet fruit juice or tea.

"Haha, how about it, Miss Mecia is still getting used to it."

Dressed in baggy clothes, the big businessman sat under a parasol by the pool and waved to Lorraine Hill.

After approaching, the girl sat down, and the two sat at the white round table and continued to talk.

"The scenery and environment here are really beautiful." Lorraine Hill simply praised, after which the big businessman nodded with a smile.

"It's an honor to be appreciated by Miss Messia...."

...

"Actually, I'm here this time to take the liberty to ask if you have any idea of ​​trading other goods of your chamber of commerce. I know it's very impolite, but there is no other good way." He apologized first, and then Explain why you are here.
