She Is Not a Witch

The Glyph Fortress, a huge fortress built at the beginning of the second era, controls the main road leading to the elven kingdoms in the northern region. The terrain is dangerous and difficult to defend.

It is said that during the construction, the Mercury Dynasty awakened the powerful Titan corpses, mined the Shenyuan Rock deep in the ground, polished it and transported it here, and inserted it vertically into the earth to form a huge fortress.

Although it was captured twice by the elves during the Great War of the Second Era, the Mercury Dynasty recaptured it and rebuilt it several times. To commemorate this arduous battle, the victims were inscribed on this stone tablet one after another. The name of the people, the time of the war, the words that I hope to inform future generations, and so on.

The huge tombstone rock is as black as a magnet, and the top is covered with unmelted snow. A few crows landed on the top of the bell tower, turning their heads and looking at the pedestrians passing by below.

Here, on the main road leading to the Emerald Forest in the north and the east, caravans often stop again, and some adventurers and hunters will also sell some materials after killing monsters in exchange for gold coins to make a living.

Due to the lack of arable land around, the population here is not large, most of them are soldiers stationed here, and some members of the chamber of commerce.

Compared with other regions, the market here is not lively, and people rarely bargain when doing business. If they feel that it is not suitable, they will leave directly.

The atmosphere in the northern border is like this. They are generally straightforward. If you talk for a long time and want to negotiate a cheap price, you will only be kicked out by the boss. They don’t like such a waste of time. Buy it if you buy it, or leave if you don’t buy it (gun ), not in the mood to engage in these twists and turns.

Today is a rare sunny day, and some chambers of commerce convoys will take advantage of this to rush on their way. The sound of carriages passing by is often heard on the street.

But in this noisy time, the street suddenly fell silent.

Some passers-by looked curiously at the street, only to find those black knights passing by on horseback.

They stopped beside an ordinary oaken carriage, and seemed to have questioned the driver before letting him go.

Looking at this scene, some residents who lived here all year round were a little surprised.

Generally speaking, these death-scythe knights would not talk to passing merchants, but once they stopped the other party, it was often because the other party violated the local iron law, which was less than the imperial law, but the law strictly enforced here .

For example, major crimes such as human smuggling, murder, and village slaughter are prohibited.

When confronted with such criminals, those death scythe knights would generally execute the opponent directly in the street to deter potential criminals, and there were very few cases where they were stopped and then let go.

These death scythe knights are all superhumans of the Necromancer sequence, who can see through the soul directly, and ordinary disguises are difficult to take effect in front of them.

Why did he let the other party go this time? The thought disappeared in a flash, but the carriage and the team left. Such a small accident soon became a small fragment of life and was forgotten.

Sitting in the carriage, Lily hugged Hells, looking at the slightly heavy bell-shaped bell in her hand, a little surprised.

This was given to her by the death scythe knight when she was about to leave the city, and the other party only left one sentence.

'When you are in danger, please ring this bell. '

Afterwards, the three knights walked away silently, as if they just passed by unintentionally.

Putting the bell back into her bosom and wrapping it in a small package, Lily then looked at the scenery outside the window.

After leaving the towering glyph fortress, there is a long curved downhill road. There is a thick coniferous forest here. There is a little white snow on the top. Some snow melts and drips from the trees, making a slight sound.

In the next two days, the team walked through the Spiral Leaf Mountain with difficulty. The land here is like countless raised spirals, full of circular steps of varying heights, among which grow tall trees and shrubs all over the place. and thorns, it is very difficult.

Even with familiar guides in the team, it took them a while to gradually move through the area.

And as it continued to move southeast, the temperature became slightly warmer. After a day, Lily also gradually saw the vast green and bright forest in the distance.

The sky is light blue, with a few white clouds floating in it. Tall and dense trees stand on the ground, many of which are more than 100 meters high. The countless green and tender leaves are swaying in the sun and the wind. The green leaves turned together, making a rushing sound, soothing like the waves.

"There is the Emerald Forest." Inside the carriage, the witch in gray introduced Lily.

"Most of the forest elves live in it. They are not many in number, isolated from the world, and rarely come out to move around."

"Is this also the case before? I remember that in the early days of the empire, the elves participated in many constructions and wars. Even Titania was built by elves and humans together." Lily asked.

"In the past, um, if we say more than 300 years ago, the forest elves were relatively active at that time, and many of them could be seen in all parts of the empire." The witch recalled the records in the past history.

"There are not only some elf chambers of commerce, elf musicians, elf bartenders, but also forest elves who serve as generals. They often live for a long time, so they are highly skilled."

"However, as the atmosphere in the empire deteriorated, such as the prevalence of famine, the increase in bandits, and some behaviors of the nobles, they gradually became a little bored, so they slowly moved back to the forest."

"In the past 100 years, there have been fewer and fewer forest elves walking outside, so the emperor's deprivation of the privileges of the elves in the past seems to be irrelevant to them, and there is no special defense or response."

"However, this does not mean that the elves have completely lost power in the empire. Many nobles in the eastern region have elf blood, and they still maintain contacts with the Emerald Forest."

In the early years of the empire, forest elves and humans united, and there were many examples of mutual integration. After opening up the territory, these meritorious deeds were later sealed in the territory near the Emerald Forest. Slowly, these nobles continued to develop and expand, gradually forming the present day Empire East. .

It can be said that the Eastern Realm is a region deeply influenced by the forest elves. People here don't like fighting, and prefer a simple and pleasant pastoral life.

The stable order, warm climate, and the route from the coast to the Eastern Continent have contributed to the prosperity of the Eastern Territory. This is also the most fertile area except the central part directly under the emperor's jurisdiction.

After leaving the cold and howling northern border, Lily and her party began to march east along the periphery of the Emerald Forest.

The journey was very smooth, and it seemed that everything became peaceful around the peaceful emerald forest.

On the way, they also passed through several elf towns, where they replenished and rested.

"Is it delicious~www.readwn.com~Hells."

Lily held the opened small wooden box, which contained two layers of about 16 small pastries. From time to time, she took out a piece and fed it to Hulse who was sitting by the side.

These pastries were purchased in an elf town. It is said that they are made of honey and rice flour produced by elves, and mixed with petal powder, which has a faint fragrance. Each piece is divided into three layers of green, white and red. It was delicious.

"Woo...delicious." Hulse chewed on the delicious pastry, nodded from time to time, and then looked hopefully at the box in Lily's hand.

"Don't eat too much, or you won't be able to eat at night." Lily closed the box, touched Hels's head, and the other party reluctantly stopped talking.

Seeing this scene, the Miss Witch couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a slight laugh.

In this way, a group of people walked under the canopy of extremely tall trees, the carriage and the riders were covered with the sunlight in the shade, bathed in the warm breeze, and they kept moving towards the distance between the world and the earth.
