Not a Witch

Chapter 10 The Cabin in the Woods

Loren Hill put his hand on the trunk, closed his eyes, and suddenly entered a magical world.

The land, the atmosphere, and the flowing mana in the river water clearly emerge in my mind. They are surrounded by this forest, so rich.The constant gathering of Mana would have triggered various supernatural phenomena such as light, fire, evolution of creatures, etc.

But under the influence of the ability of this amber red maple, it became peaceful and restrained, and it was wrapped in this wood, not wanting to vent. It is estimated that this giant tree has not been discovered by others for so many years. Reason it.

Under the influence of [Crimson Reflection], Mana is very easy to manipulate, stable, and will not riot at will.This place is great for beginners to practice, or for alchemy and medicine.

When the consciousness followed Mana to the tree, Roland Hill sensed the reason.

Perhaps it was too stable, and the mana that kept precipitating condensed in the big tree, and finally blocked the tiny pipes that transported nutrients and water.Ordinary big trees have long since crystallized and died.

However, this tree uses the branches and leaves to absorb water and nutrients, which has barely maintained for hundreds of years. However, the nutrients and water obtained in this way are limited after all. limit.

If Roland Hill does not appear, in about another 1-2 years, the tree will really wither and completely crystallize, becoming an amber tree.

After Loren Hill understood the situation, he retracted his palm, lay in the sea of ​​red flowers, and began to think about how to solve this problem.

Blockage naturally needs to be guided to unblock.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of the good brothers who were majoring in water supply and drainage in the same college. The two majors were opposed to each other when they were in school. When they graduated, they cried together.

In the clear blue sky, wisps of flowing clouds drifted by, looking at the maple leaves falling from the canopy, Roland Hill caught a red leaf and suddenly had an idea.

She pressed her palm against the tree trunk and began to use the ability of [Harmony Healing].

- Reconcile treatment, start

——Basic structure, explained

- Mana analysis, finished

- crystallization frequency, perception

- Vibration in synchrony, start

——Mana Crystal, Broken

——Guide the flow, clear the flow

- branches and fruits, collected

This huge transcendent red-leaf maple trembled slightly, and the trunk reflected a dazzling light, and then the mana crystals in it continued to shatter, and then this energy was continuously collected into the branches and leaves of the canopy, and then one by one orange translucent The fruit keeps forming.

Finally, the mana crystals blocked in the trunk were cleared, and most of them were transformed into orange fruits hanging on the tree.

These fruits are crystal clear, each as big as a fist, and emits a faint light in the forest in the evening, like a hanging night light.

The rest of the mana is absorbed by the tree itself to repair damage and grow foliage.

Alright, haha.

Looking at the big tree covered with orange lanterns, Roland Hill sensed its happy mood and laughed happily.

With the isolation and protection of [Maple Leaf Fantasy], this maple forest is the perfect address to live in.

Roland Hill thought so, and tried to communicate with this big tree, and the feedback he got was very agreeable and happy.

Then the roots of the big tree began to grow, and the brown roots formed a small house more than 5 meters high.

But after all, it is a tree, the idea is very simple, the shape of the small house is crooked, and in the eyes of the girl, it has no engineering aesthetics.

I'll do it myself.

-

The next day, the red maple forest.

"Smoky wind!"

With a clear drink from the girl.

The sharp air knife cut through a red maple tree, a large branch fell, and then several air knives, under the precise perception of Roland Hill, cut a 2-meter-thick branch into one flat. Smooth wooden planks.

The breeze, which was originally used to calm life, turned into a life-threatening scythe in the hands of the girl. Not only that, she also considered using it to chop down trees, cut wood, peel skin, and even cut her nails.

It can only be said that the talent bonus is too powerful, or it can be said that the sharp blade can indeed calm the opponent down faster.

Then I did the same, and made some smooth wooden columns. These trees grown under the influence of rich mana are of amazing quality.

The texture is straight and finely structured, with a gold silk and satin-like luster in the sun, and a light fragrance.

Systematic observation is, [Red Maple] (Quality 210~240, Evaluation: Rare Silver Grade)

If you use the branches of the amber red maple, it will be different, it is [amber red maple] (quality 410~460, evaluation: perfect pearl grade).

Then the house building began. Although I didn’t learn civil engineering in my previous life, I had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run.

Laying the foundation should be the first step.

First, a few thick wooden piles were driven into the ground to adjust the level, and then the skeleton was built, and then wooden boards were erected on the skeleton to form the floor of the house.

The outer circle is a wooden column, which is used to bear the weight.

The floor built on the wooden piles has a space of half a meter above the ground.

It must not be built directly on the ground, there will be rainwater flowing in, and it is also easy to get wet.

Once built, fasten with dowels, and then let the dowels grow, so that they are stuck and joined together, very strong.

Finally, the dome wooden house with an area of ​​more than 1 square meters was built, and the shape is quite similar to the witch's house in the fairy tale.

In the middle of the house is a rotunda, which can be used to meet guests or make a restaurant, and next to it are several rooms surrounding the rotunda. One room has a fireplace that can be used for cooking or barbecue, and it can also be used for grilling in winter.

A room next to it is used as a bedroom for rest.Another room is used as a laboratory, which will be used to study alchemy, pharmaceuticals and the production of some extraordinary items in the future.The last room is used as a storage room, where food and everything else is kept.

Of course, between the roof above and the ceiling of the first floor, a small attic is also formed, which can put some sundries or other purposes.

For lighting, I use the fruits of amber red maple, such as orange transparent gems, each as big as a fist, but even Roland Hill felt that it was overkill for lighting, but it was too convenient to use it now. .

[Amber fruit] (quality 450~480, evaluation: perfect coral level): The condensed fruit of the amber maple contains huge energy. Due to the ability of the amber maple itself, the magic power is very mild and can be used as an extremely rare ten thousand Elixir, or used in alchemy, its peaceful properties can be used as a neutralizer, allowing many materials with conflicting attributes to fuse with each other, and the magic power contained in it will emit an orange light.

In the end, it was done and it took nearly three days.

When Lorraine Hill was about to celebrate and grill a few fish to eat, a familiar figure appeared in the girl's perception. About 10 kilometers away, the boy named Pullman was leaning on crutches, very embarrassed and lame. Looking for something in the mountains.

Chapter 11 The Returned Boy

It has been nearly 2 weeks since the last goodbye. Why is this young man back, and he is still so embarrassed.

With such doubts in mind, Lorraine Hill returned to the bonfire where Pullman had rested before. The previous fire had long since been extinguished, leaving only a small amount of black charcoal.

When Lorraine Hill approached here again, the boy was leaning against the big tree by the stream, panting tiredly. There were many scratches on his clothes, and some blisters and bloodstains on his hands. He went through many hardships.

Hearing the undisguised footsteps, the boy looked up.

The slanting sunlight shone in the forest, and tiny dust fluttered slowly in the light. A girl in a white dress walked out of the shade of the tree. Her long silver hair was plated with a layer of light gold in the sunlight. The transparent pupils are like strange things that have come to the world.

It took a while for Pullman to recover from the shock.

"Please, tell me how to defeat those nobles and rich businessmen!"

Seeing that there seemed to be doubts in the girl's eyes, he opened his mouth to tell the whole story.

It turned out that Pullman wanted to take revenge when he found out that his sister had been killed, but unfortunately the noble family had so many guards that he was unable to make a sneak attack, so he turned his attention to the businessman Mock. He masked and attacked Mock and injured him. He, but Mok's bodyguards reacted quickly, he couldn't beat him and took the opportunity to escape.

He was not sure whether Mork would recognize himself, so he did not go home, fled directly into the forest, and after being rescued by Roland Hill, he was ready to go to the country of mercenaries in the north.

But he was afraid that his parents at home would be worried, so he planned to go home first and leave the gem to his parents, so as to improve the life at home, and told them not to worry about himself, he was still alive, and he was going to develop in a distant place.

But when he came home, he found that during his disappearance, his parents were looking for him like crazy, thinking that he was also killed, so the excited two found Mo Ke, which happened to be self-inflicted, and Mo Ke was very angry. , severely wounding his parents.

At this time, Pullman returned home. Since Brownwood Village is only a marginal village, the medical conditions are extremely poor, and there are no priests in the angel sequence. The two soon became seriously ill and died of infection.

An indignant Pullman escaped the capture of Mok's men and entered the forest again, but this time, he had no other choice.

He just wants to do one thing, revenge!

Although he was still injured, he still trembled and knelt down on his knees, with his hands on the ground, and with the humblest voice in his life, he begged the girl in front of him who was not like a human, and begged her to tell him how to defeat those wicked people.

"I'm sorry, I know these things have nothing to do with you, and such a request is very rude."

"However, I really can't think of any other way. I'm just a teenager in a poor village, with no knowledge or strength."

"You can ask me to do anything, I want revenge, I just ask you to tell me how to defeat them and give me everything I will."

Maybe he once had some beautiful fantasies, but at this time, the anger and hatred in his heart overwhelmed all inferiority, cowardice, anxiety and fear.Even if he loses his life, even if he has no peace in his life, he wants those people to bear the price they deserve!

"Stand up, Pullman."

After listening to his excited narration, the girl was silent for a while before speaking.

"Only by standing up can you qualify for the imparting of knowledge."

"From now on, you can't kneel to anyone. Not only that, but you have to tell everyone you know not to kneel to anyone."

The girl turned sideways, took off a small branch, and stuck it on the ground.

"The seeds in people's hearts must grow in the right direction from the beginning. If there is a deviation from the beginning, no matter how well it grows, it is a wrong piece of waste wood and needs to be cut down."

"All men are created equal, so you don't have to kneel to anyone."

"Do you want to change this country? It's not something one person can do."

"First of all, you have to become strong and become a benchmark and a banner, so that people will believe and follow you."

Roland Hill looked at the once simple boy in front of him. Although his clothes were ragged and covered with scars, his black eyes were full of desire for strength and revenge.

She didn't persuade him to save his life as she did last time, and go to a foreign country to survive.

The situation is completely different.

Maybe he could have gone far away and lived another life before, allowing time to slowly dilute the hatred and sadness in his heart.

But the world is so cruel, and it has forced him to a dead end with no way out. If he is allowed to give up revenge, I am afraid that he will live in painful self-blame and torment all his life.

Therefore, even if he knew that he might sacrifice his life for his revenge and ideals, Roland Hill would still tell him the effective method.

The tragedy that happened to this young man cannot be completely solved by killing one or two unscrupulous nobles and wealthy businessmen.

She won't directly help him kill those wicked people, and the victory gained by outsiders will be false after all, and will not give birth to a bright future.

Therefore, she will give Pullman a lot of indirect help, but she will not take action personally, and only by taking revenge herself can she obtain the greatest consolation and leave no regrets.
