Not a Witch

For the same famous book, the Chinese version is always thinner than the English version.

In the winter night, the faint candlelight illuminated her, and she lived a quiet life again. In this way, the sun rose and the moon set, and the time passed day by day. Finally, one day, the snow outside the window began to melt, and green shoots began to emerge from the trees.

Pushing the door open, the fresh morning breeze wafted through the forest. Roland Hill walked out of the house and stepped on the stone slab in the courtyard in front of the door. Some emerald green colors began to appear in the field of vision. Although there was still some chill in the air, spring had come quietly. , the ice hooks on the eaves began to melt, water dripped continuously, and the silhouette of birds came from the sky.

Roland Hill flew to the sky and turned for a while, and after relaxing for a while, he slowly floated down, and the next step was to prepare for the departure to Emenas.

The first is to count what to bring, and the first of course is money.Although she was the eldest lady of the Karites family for a period of time and made a lot of money, most of them stayed in the chamber of commerce, and they were specially managed to support the kindergartens and schools in the city. I only took 100 gold coins with me before I left.Originally, she didn't want to take a cent away, because she was not Angus' real daughter, and it would not be difficult for her to make money from alchemy potions in the future, and she was definitely enough for her own use.

But she still couldn't resist Chelsea's kindness, saying that she was also the face of the Chamber of Commerce, and her life couldn't be too bad, it would ruin the image of the Chamber of Commerce.It will make others think that the Karites Chamber of Commerce is insulting the benefactor.

After the Hopelander incident, Lorraine Hill summoned Serres and Chelsea to read Angus's two suicide notes at an internal meeting, stating that he was not Angus's own daughter, but helped Angus After the revenge, Hopelander and Karites also stabilized, and they had to do things they dreamed of, so they had to leave.

She still remembered the scene that day. Everyone in the venue was shocked at first, then confused, and finally reluctant.There may be more events in this period than in the past ten years, and Roland Hill's performance is like a stone pillar in the rapids, becoming the backbone and support of everyone.Her departure will create a power vacuum within the chamber of commerce, because no one can integrate everyone and convince everyone like her.

Originally, 60% of Angus' shares were not inherited after Angus' death. It stands to reason that they should be returned to the Alliance Guild, and half of them should be distributed to other shareholders of the Chamber of Commerce.But the current alliance guild is led by Carrites, and many of them have directly or indirectly benefited from Loren Hill's favor in this change, and many of them are even former members of the Chamber of Commerce, out of repayment And with the idea of ​​​​retaining, many people proposed to donate these shares to Roland Hill in recognition of his credit for this incident.

This proposal has been approved by the vast majority of people. Even a small number of people who want to make selfish profit do not dare to express their different opinions. It is really dazzling and dangerous, because no one knows whether there will be that eldest lady around. Worshippers go to tip off.

In this way, the Alliance Guild gave 30% of its shares to Roland Hill with a unanimous vote. At the same time, other shareholders expressed their willingness to give up some of the shares and gave the other 30% to Roland Hill.

During the period, Lorraine Hill also resigned several times, saying that she might leave Hopeland in the future, and she did not have much time to deal with the Chamber of Commerce, but many people still expected her to come back to see the guidance from time to time. The neutral people also persuaded her, such as Mrs. Filia, and Bishop Zhu Ya of the Church of Angels. They valued Loren Hill's character and potential more, and hoped to provide more protection and protection for the future of the city. shelter.

In this way, Roland Hill accepted the gift in desperation, but expressed that he needed to leave for a period of time and would not stay here for a long time. It is often a loud sign. As long as it stands there, it will have great deterrence and influence. Usually, it only needs to show up every few years to maintain it.

After counting the 126 gold coins in the storage ring, the rest is a few extraordinary dresses.

, a gift from the Lamia Chamber of Commerce.It is made of the fur of the golden winter white bear and the moiré cloth. There are 5 layers of enchantments inside, which can isolate the cold and heat to maintain a constant temperature, deflect the projectiles and weak attacks, and stabilize the airflow around it and reduce the wind speed.

, a gift from the Aoni Chamber of Commerce, the bookcase is wrapped in gray full moon rhino leather, the pages inside are light green, and there are faint vein patterns of leaves, very beautiful, made of unique leaf vein paper.The book is accompanied by beautiful illustrations, telling stories and legends from all over the continent.

, this one she made herself, suitable for spring and autumn, is the one she wore when she left Hopeland that day, with blue and hollow stars on the skirt, and a light blue ribbon around the waist.

, 5 horses, Roland Hill woven by himself at the beginning, he can make whatever clothes he wants to wear in the future.

: Before dying, the great witch Trinasa entrusted her unique magic power to this hairpin, which can be worn and used.

The hairpin had been used once, the girl thought that it should have been used during the spinning of fate, and then pinned it again between her long silver hair.

The rest is the medicine, simple ones, slightly better ones, excellent neutralizers, which can concentrate and enhance the effect of various raw materials.

Next is her latest development.

: The air resistance can be greatly reduced, the body can be lightened, and the speed can be increased.

: You can get wings formed by the wind and fly freely in the sky. Although the wings are not very tough, they can last for three days.

: Make people lucky the next day.Inside the faint blue test tube are colorful stars that appear and disappear from time to time.

The new potions were developed based on their own talents, and their unique magic power was incorporated into them to make them successfully. Especially the last potion, Roland Hill made many times, and only took out three finished products. very precious.

It's almost finished, let me think about what else I need to bring. There are several suitcases in front of Roland Hill, and the items are neatly arranged inside.

dong dong dong-

At this moment, a knock on the door came from outside.

"Long time no see, little Lorraine, I came to see you~" A familiar girl's voice came from outside the door.

Chapter 19 The Witch's Fate

As if carrying the breath of a long time, a girl with blond hair and silver eyes stood in front of the door.Although it hasn't rained, she is still holding a delicate black parasol with lace patterns and colorful crystal pendants on the edge of the parasol. Her beautiful face is like a 17-year-old girl who will never change, with a smile on her face. , standing quietly in front of the steps.

Loren Hill opened the door and looked at the senior witch in front of him with a slightly surprised face, and then the phantom witch, like the wind in the night, swept her side and walked into the hall.

When Loren Hill closed the door and turned around, she was already sitting on the sofa beside the coffee table, the parasol in her hand disappeared, and there were more teapots and cups on the table.

"Long time no see, little Lorraine, you slept for a long time before." Tiides looked at the silver-haired girl who slowly walked to the opposite sofa.

"Well, Sister Tides, it's been seven years before you know it." Roland Hill also sat down.

"No, it's been eight years now." Tiides blinked, and there seemed to be star sand flowing in her silver pupils.

"But what amazes me even more is that you haven't learned from a teacher, and you have built a country, Crancia."

"This... this is probably just a coincidence." Roland Hill said a little embarrassedly, in fact, she didn't think so much at the time, she just followed her heart.

"It's not a coincidence, it's an inevitable thing, it's just that you acted too early, which surprised me." Tiides said slowly.

"Does little Lorraine know those well-known human nations in history?"

"Know some, the original empire - the Scarlet Empire, later the Mercury Dynasty, the Plantagenet Dynasty, the Kingdom of Oz, etc."

"Well, but what few people know is that in the early days of these countries, we witches were behind the promotion or protection of them."

"Oh, is that so?" Roland Hill widened his eyes.

"Yes." Tides paused for a while, as if recalling a lot of things, and her tone was somewhat ethereal.

"Short life makes human beings pursue survival. Survival and reproduction are the goals of most people's life."

"But if it is an extraordinary person, it is no longer a problem to survive and reproduce, and they will start to pursue various desires, money, rights, the opposite sex, fame, etc."

"When he is strong enough to surpass hundreds of millions of his peers, the realization of these desires becomes easy, but no matter what he likes to eat, no matter what he likes to do, he will become bored after a thousand times, hundreds of millions of times."

"Fortunately, even powerful Transcendents cannot resist the erosion of time. As they slowly age and die, they cannot reach the end of their desires even if they chase them all their lives."

"But we witches are different. Innate power allows us to have a long lifespan, and a long time and life experience will eventually make you tired of many things in the world, whether it is the colorful feelings between human beings or those bright colors. Desires will slowly fade in your life."

"In the end, life seems to have turned into an immutable gray, and the boring and boring emptiness like nothingness will slowly spread in your heart, making you have to think about what else is worth chasing."

Having said that, Tidis stopped slowly, and looked at the younger generation who was born in front of her, her clear and pure eyes couldn't help but make her envious, how wonderful it would be if it could be like this forever.

"The emptiness of the heart and the meaninglessness of life will torture a person, making his character strange and curious, gradually deviating from ordinary people, and finally embarking on the road of madness and self-destruction." Tides whispered about the sad ending of many witches.

"Then there is no solution?"

"There are also methods. Some witches will destroy their memories, cut off everything in the past, and then start again, reborn like a phoenix. For example, the bright red scorching witch - Keti."

"Some witches think that memory represents the self and life. Those people and things in life are the most cherished treasures in the world. They are unwilling to give up, and they will face death calmly, like thousands of mortals, entering the world of rest. "

"There are other witches who will set up bigger ambitions and dreams, and walk on the road of chasing them all their lives, until this ideal will burn itself out."

"For the sake of the human race, the blood moon witch, Julis, who turned into a demon, brought a demon sequence to human beings. After the destruction of the True Red Empire, she was burned to death by the priests of the Crazy Fang Empire on the altar of the burning sun."

"Heidis, the witch of the underworld who created the necromantic sequence and led the rise of the Quicksilver Dynasty, was imprisoned in Eternal Dark Island after the disintegration of the Quicksilver Dynasty, and she will never leave."

"The pioneer and master of the magic sequence, the idol of countless mages, the time and space witch Dorothy, was nailed to the city gate when the Green Empire defeated Oz."

"To this day, there are also some witches walking on this road, such as Suqin, the witch who created the Dragon Vessel, who sheltered the Plantagenet Dynasty.

"The original intention or concept of these countries is an extension of their own ideals, and their own and national destiny will be intertwined with each other, one will be prosperous, and one will be lost."

Watching Roland Hill gradually fall into contemplation, Tiides comforted.

"But you don't have to worry too much. The reason why those witches have reached that point is because in their hearts, there is gradually no foreign objects other than ideals, so the collapse of the country will hit them so hard, and it will be like this. regardless of costs."

"But with your words, life has just begun, and there are still many possibilities in the future. Although it will hurt to fall once, I believe you can stand up again."

Tides comforted Roland Hill, but regretted in her heart that she couldn't stop the car for a while, and talked about so many heavy topics.These things are often only thought by witches who have lived for more than a thousand years. Young witches who are hundreds of years old have not finished enjoying their lives, so how can they care about them.

"No, don't worry about me, thank you Sister Tiides for the warning."

A smile appeared on Lorraine Hill's face, which reassured this senior. The past and present combined up to more than 20 years of life made her unable to experience this personally, but with past knowledge and thinking, she did realize that what Tides said was wrong. Fake.

After solving the problems related to food, saturation and safety, people will pursue the meaning of their life, either explicitly or implicitly, all their lives.Some are conscious, some are unconscious.

Compared with the ordinary and powerless past life, she can have more time and leisure to explore and think about this problem in this life.

So first set yourself a small goal, and that is to see this beautiful and wonderful world, to see this giant dragon soaring in the sky, the elves reciting ancient poems in the forest, the sails across the seven seas, the magic The brilliance is enough to illuminate the entire night sky, the knight's lances are all over the mountains, and countless flags cover the magnificent world of the sky.

Chapter 20 Colorful Grapes

"So, little Lorraine is going to Emenas?"

"Well, I want to go there and see, I should meet people from all over the place."

"That's true. Si Ye's place is really nice to see the scenery."

Tiides recalled the scene when she held Si Ye in her arms like a doll, then took her place and turned into her, acting like a twin.At that time, Si Ye was just a mouthless loli with little courage, and other witches liked to make fun of her.

"Is the Headmaster Siye also a witch?" Roland Hill had heard this name from Lan Li'er before.

"Yes, in addition to the central school building, Emenas is divided into four colleges. Si Ye is the dean of the tower college overlooking all things."

"She lives in the star-gazing room at the top of the tower almost all the year round. If you go there, you will know that it is a room full of books, and the enamel-like loli sitting at the very end of the room is Si Ye. ."

"When you meet for the first time, you can ask her for a book, and she will definitely not refuse."

"It's not good to ask someone for something when you meet."

"Giggle, don't worry, in fact, even if you don't say it, it is estimated that she will give you a book to record things. She is the witch of books, and the book she gives will also have magical powers, which is very wonderful." Tidis smiled.

"The book she gave me at the time was the Book of Fire, which can be used to record and store various flames and release them when needed. Unfortunately, it was later damaged by me."

"Can flames also be recorded?" Roland Hill was a little curious at this point. The flames should be changed ionic states.

"Yes, similar to a seal, recording everything in a book, this is the power of Si Ye, the witch of the book."

I really want to see it, Roland Hill thought.

"Is Little Lorraine going to follow the demon sequence in the future?"

Tides looked at her junior and was a little surprised. She originally thought that with Roland Hill's character, she was most likely to follow the Angelic Sequence and the Natural Sequence. I didn't expect it to be the Devil Sequence 4 now.

It's not that the demon sequence is bad, but the people who follow this sequence are either extreme in character or have deep obsessions, because this is in line with the consistent fighting style of the demon sequence.

"I haven't decided yet." Roland Hill can change the sequence at will, so he wants to try it.

"Is that so, that's not bad, anyway, it hasn't reached Sequence 5 yet. With your talent, you won't be bad for any of them." Tides nodded thoughtfully, and then took out a translucent purple gem.

"This gem records a lot of knowledge about the Necronomicon sequence. It was summed up by Sister Hades and I for nearly a thousand years. It should be more complete and complete than Sister Trinasha's. It can be used for your reference."

"Although it is not recommended that you take the necromantic sequence, there is a lot of knowledge about the soul, no matter if you are practicing any sequence, it is extremely beneficial."

"Thank you, Sister Tides." This time, Roland Hill did not refuse as before, but took it with confidence. Perhaps after the trip to the south, he was more confident.

Seeing Roland Hill accept it, Tiides was also more happy, and then gave her a letter, asking her to go to Emenas and send it to Si Ye, but Tiides didn't say the specific content of the letter.

The two talked for a while. Fearing that this innocent and lovely junior would be deceived by cunning people, Tides curiously asked Roland Hill why she sheltered Crancia, and the beginning and end of some things. Then he nodded reassuringly.

"Don't use your power on a large scale in the future, unless you reach Sequence 9, the price of that kind of miracle, you can't pay."

"Fortunately, Sister Trinasa's hairpin worked at that time. Otherwise, if you mess around like that, you will definitely hurt yourself, and you may have to sleep for many years."
