Not a Witch

An arc-shaped city wall stretches from the mountains in the north to the Blue Stream River in the south, dividing the vast plain into two parts. The inner side is the Temple of Contemplation, and the outer side is a slightly lower town.

Temple College gave people a strange feeling, as if noise and tranquility coexisted. The area near the main road was very lively. Many campus employees also had carriages going back and forth, some transporting goods, and some commuting to and from get off work.

The employees in the Emenas school are all employed, and they mainly live in small towns to the west, where they have their children and their families, as well as some civilian facilities, such as windmills, shops, and markets.Working in Emenas on weekdays, they would live in the academy’s temporary residence. Those who were far away would go home every few days. Those who were closer would naturally go home to rest every day, so there would be a lot of people on the road. Some.

However, the buildings in Temple College that are far away from the main road will appear very quiet.

Approaching a tall and magnificent temple, no one can be seen around. The tall stone pillars stretched out their shadows in the sunlight. Entering the interior of the temple, in the empty space, you can clearly hear your own footsteps, and the sound is slightly louder. , you can hear an echo.

People who come here for the first time may feel that there is no one in the temple, only themselves, but after opening the doors, you will find a quiet classroom, the teacher is standing on the podium and slowly speaking, while the students are sitting. Quietly taking notes below, occasionally raising one or two hands to ask, and the voice quickly dissipating in the empty silence.

After the freshmen were brought here by the teacher, they were clearly divided into two groups. One group liked the quiet and contemplative atmosphere, and the other group liked the lively scene on the street. They preferred to go shopping in small towns outside the school. .

Compared with other colleges with beautiful mountains and dangerous rivers, the buildings and scenery on the temple side are more ordinary and simple, but they are full of a sense of life.Just like ordinary mortals, there are times of life, old age, sickness and death, dull and repetitive, and there are not many stormy waves.

The Temple of Contemplation mainly teaches the angel sequence and the undead sequence. The combination of the names of the two sequences is the oldest society in the academy, "The Angel of Death", a society specializing in the study of chaotic disasters.

Teachers lead new students on a tour of the academy and introduce some school traditions.

Most of the skills of the angel sequence are related to life, healing, protection, purification, blessing, etc., while the undead sequence is the opposite, most of the skills are related to death, soul, pain, and curse.

The sages arranged these two sequences together to let the students not to indulge in their own thoughts. No matter how to heal and protect life, the day of death will come, and to practice the sequence of death, one must understand life The miracle and preciousness of life, do not treat life like a mustard and break it at will.

Most of the seniors here wear black and white uniforms. Compared with other colleges, they are more accessible to ordinary people, and they are more peaceful and low-key. They are not full of steel and military atmosphere like bridge piers.

"Lorraine, let's go shopping."

After finishing the tour in the academy, Alena suggested that Nia was also a little moved. Although Ledis felt that there would be nothing good in the town, she also wanted to take this opportunity to understand the surrounding environment of the school, so No objection.

So Roland Hill and a few roommates registered at the city gate and headed to a small town outside the school. On the way, they occasionally saw freshmen with the same thoughts as them.

There are many shops on the streets of the town, many of which are dedicated to the students on campus. Most of Emenas' students are still very wealthy, and they are generally more generous, which is very popular with shop owners.

"Here here~"

Turning around a small fountain square on the street, several people heard a familiar greeting.

"Lily, Eidolon, Bumantha, and Vimiya?"

After a few people heard the sound, they walked into a clothing store next to them, and happened to see the familiar four people who were picking clothes.

Among them, Eidolon sat on a high chair with her legs swaying back and forth, while Lily tried on various clothes for her like a doll.When the girls talked about what to wear and what to wear, they all became elated.In this era when entertainment is still relatively scarce, clothing, desserts, and love are the hottest topics among girls.

And Lorraine Hill, who was later reduced to the same situation as Ye Ling, sat quietly in front of the mirror and was held there by several classmates. Several roommates and classmates were all like experienced masters, helping him with advice. Let Lorraine Hill try various styles of clothing, from aristocratic dresses with luxurious flower buds, dark and slim Gothic dresses, to simple and natural forest styles, and several styles are constantly switched and tried.

"So, when can you let me go? I really don't want to try on clothes anymore." Roland Hill showed a helpless smile on her face. She didn't think so much about wearing clothes before, but today is an eye-opener. I know that there are so many particularities in girls' clothes.

"Wait a minute, because Sister Lorraine is so pretty, we want to know where your limits are."

"Right, right...." Several girls next to her echoed, and then Ledis took out another set of skirts.

This dress, mainly red and black, has a lace pattern on the skirt and cuffs, giving a dark Gothic style overall.

"Try this on, Lorraine." Several classmates started a new round of attempts.

Chapter 44 The Jeweled Flower

After putting on the black and red dress, Loren Hill in the mirror presents a dark-styled lady image. The lower part of the red skirt has a circle of black skirt folds, and then there is another layer below. The red skirt is stacked in five layers, and there are red and black roses on the side that are the opposite of the skirt, which is prosperous and beautiful.Compared with the past soft image, this dress shows an aggressive and seductive charm.

"Wow, this outfit feels like Lorraine has changed completely."

"It's amazing, there's no sense of disobedience at all."

"Maybe Lorraine also has a hidden dark side."

"Be careful I hit you." Roland Hill said angrily.

"Just this one, it's great!"

"Ask the boss how much?" Several people began to urge Loren Hill to buy the dress.

------

"Sorry, this dress has to wait a while, because it was specially ordered by the boss."

The clerk of the clothing store said that he needed to ask the boss and asked the girls to wait for a while.

After about 10 minutes, the sound of high-heeled shoes came from the back door, pushed open the inner door of the store, and a lady in a black and blue dress walked in, followed by the previous clerk.Wearing a black veil and lace gloves, the lady is very mysterious.

"Madam, it's this lady who wants to buy this dress. I'm sorry I didn't have time to tell you beforehand, so I'll let her try it on in advance."

Listening to the clerk's words, it seems that this dress can't be tried on casually, but why wasn't it stopped before, several people thought.

"Well..." The mature lady, holding a slender smoking bottle in her hand, looked up and down at Loren Hill for a long time, her eyes flashing with inexplicable colors.

"Very good, no, it should be said that it is perfect." Finally, she showed a very satisfied smile.

"It's alright, didn't I say it before, if a very suitable girl comes to the store, you can make an exception. This time you have a good vision, here it is."

After she finished speaking, she ejected a gem, a faint blue light streaked in the air, and then fell into the hands of the clerk. The clerk thanked again, and then withdrew.

"I'm the owner of this shop, Servis. Are you going to buy this dress?"

"Yes." Roland Hill replied, surrounded by his companions.

"Okay, this dress is carefully designed by me. Many people have asked about it before, but there has been no suitable person to wear it, so I put it on for a long time. I didn't expect it to be met today."

"Because some extraordinary materials were used in the production, its value is no less than a gold-level extraordinary creation. If you want to buy it, you need to pay me 120 extraordinary gold coins."

"This price is too expensive."

After hearing this, Ni's eyes widened. She has lived in the Gufiya grassland since she was a child, and has always lived a poor life. 120 gold coins may not be able to earn so much for everyone in their tribe in a year, but now it is only worth the price of a piece of clothing. Is it a rich man's world?

"It's cheap."

Ledisi next to her expressed a completely different opinion. The price of a few clothes she carried with her was even higher than this. From her point of view, the boss at least discounted it in half. It is estimated that Lorraine likes it very much.

"It's really expensive, Miss Letis, you don't understand human suffering at all." Alena complained aside.

Looking at Roland Hill's hesitant look, the proprietress guessed that it was a little difficult to purchase.Oh, how can a beautiful girl be troubled by money.

"If you can agree to a small request from me, this dress will be fine for you." The proprietress spoke again.

"What is the request?" Before Roland Hill could reply, several others asked curiously.

"After you put on this dress, let me find someone to paint you a picture."

"Are you going to frame it and put it in the store as an advertisement?" Roland Hill asked curiously. This kind of publicity method is understandable.

"No no no... That would be a waste of money." The lady boss waved her hand.

"I will keep it as a collection."

"Perhaps you don't understand that clothes designed by yourself can be worn by the right people and show that kind of temperament, which is a very pleasant thing."

"That's it..." Roland Hill nodded.

"Promise her, Lorraine, it's a good deal." Alena encouraged her, not to miss such a good opportunity to prostitute.The other companions next to him were also a little moved. Except for Letis, who was born in a wealthy family, he didn't care much, and the others were still very distressed by the number of 200 gold coins.

"Okay, but I hope the portrait will not be released to the public." Roland Hill demanded.

"Of course, I can guarantee this." The proprietress promised, and then asked the clerk to pack the clothes in a special box so as not to be crushed, and then handed it to Lorraine.

"Give it to me now?" Roland Hill asked curiously when he took the box.

"Well, this is for you first, because if I want to draw you a picture, I need to contact an excellent painter. You can come back on the rest day in two weeks. Remember to bring your clothes."

"Ok."

The proprietress seemed to be certain that Roland Hill was not the kind of person who took things and left, and gave her the dress directly without leaving any IOUs.

After that, everyone also bought some clothes before leaving the clothing store.After walking around the street again, I returned to the meeting point and left by car.

"By the way, I forgot to read the name of that store just now." Lily suddenly remembered something.

"The Flower of Gems, that's the name. I heard from other students that the shop has been open for a long time, and it is also very famous among the nobles." Lettis replied.

"How do you know so much?" Alena asked.

"I have a wide range of communication, silly Lena." Lettis said proudly that she had recently entered the circle of the big nobles and ladies, and it's normal to be well-informed.

"Letisse, don't you think that the name just now is very problematic?" Alena stood up with a 'smile', and was then stopped by the teacher to sit down. After all, she was in the car, so she could easily fall. .

"When you go back, I will teach you a good lesson, Stupid Tis."

-

After the freshmen left, it was getting late, and the city gate beside the academy was also closed. It will not be opened again tomorrow morning. Thousands of lights were also lit in the small town to the west, and the dim yellow candles illuminated the streets.

A carriage carrying guests slowly approached from afar, and finally arrived at the town before it was completely dark. Some guests got off the car one after another, until the last girl with long light red hair carried a large suitcase from the car. Walking up and down, she looked a little out of breath. She was wearing riding boots and a long plaid skirt. She was dressed in a slightly ordinary dress. A long brown-gray scarf wrapped her neck and face, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.

After getting off the carriage, she searched around along the candlelight, and kept asking passers-by, and finally stopped in front of a store.

She flipped through the old pamphlet in her hand. It was left to her by her father. It recorded an address. It was said that the person who lived here was a nobleman whom their ancestors met.And because of this nobleman, their family was able to prosper.

"It should be here."

She took off her scarf, revealing a terrific face in the world, and looked up at the sign.

"The Flower of Gems"

Chapter 45 Snow Mountain Dragon Roar

After that, the freshmen came to the last stop of the tour, the tower of the northern view.

Passing through the road around the mountain, facing the wind and snow, the air is getting colder and colder, and the windows are also covered with a faint layer of water vapor.

A small finger stretched out of the cuff and drew a small sun on the mist-covered glass, with a smiling face in the middle of the sun.

Loren Hill looked at the back by the window and smiled.

"It's a nice drawing."

The back figure turned around in surprise and blocked it with his body a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, but it's actually just doodles, it's a bad habit I've developed in the past."

"It's not bad, it's good."

"It's nothing, in fact, I really can't draw." Niya shook her head. As a resident on the grassland, supporting herself and her clan's talents is the most important thing.

"Seeing that you are very skilled at painting, it feels pretty good."
