She Is Not a Witch

"It should be around here."

16 knights riding on horses were walking on the road to the village. They got a piece of information from the small town they passed by. At that time, a strange masked woman bought food for several days in an inn. And that person is likely to be Her Majesty the Queen they are going to hunt down.

This area is a large plain, with not many forests dotted in it, and there are only 3 villages around the small town. The village they are currently heading to is on the east side, which is the most likely.

"You have to speed up, the general has issued a strict order, you must catch up with that person within two days."

After losing the trace of Lily, Darcy divided the Rose Knights under his command into several small teams, and conducted a comprehensive search of possible areas.

Now this line of 16 people is one of the teams that was once again divided into a small team.

There are about 460 members in the Rose Knights, close to 500 members. Among them, the official members are all Transcendents above Sequence 5, and they all come from various noble families in the central region. They were well-educated, and after a short training, they were led by Darcy to hunt down Lily. Now, after nearly a month of running-in with each other, their overall cooperation has become more and more proficient.

Although there are only 16 members, any random member among them is a young talent in the local area. On this plain in the east, the most powerful transcendent in a small town might not be able to defeat a single rose knight, let alone a combination of them.

The group of knights crossed the hill with forests, overlooking the village in the distance, began to gallop on horses, and slowly approached the windmill in front of the village.

Originally, they had never paid attention to a windmill beside the road, but when they passed by, a member suddenly turned his head and looked at the slowly rotating windmill.

"What's wrong?"

"Tell me, are there people hiding here, or search the windmill?"

"That's... yes, but we are in a hurry, so we can't go all of them. You can go with the other two and meet up in the village later." The cavalry captain who led the team ordered after a brief thought.

After a while, the three rose knights separated from it, and they rode their horses towards the windmill.

When they came under the windmill tower, the knight in front showed an interested smile.

Although it is not clear if it is Her Majesty the Queen, he has already noticed the faint fluctuation of magic power on the top of the windmill. It is very weak, but it is indeed a transcendent.

He raised his hand to signal his companion to dismount, and then moved towards the white tower with as little noise as possible.

This windmill should have been built only a few years ago. It is built of brick and stone as a whole, and the surface is painted with common white lime. It reflects dazzling light in the strong afternoon sun and feels hot to the touch.

The three of them walked forward silently along the steps. They had already determined the approximate location of each other, and there was no shortage of time.

In the breeze, the rose's cloak slowly unrolled, making a slight sound.

Slowly, they were getting closer and closer to the top platform and room.

Gradually cross the middle of the white tower, climb up along the stairs, and reach the waist.

Step by step, gradually approaching.

In the perception, the fluctuation of the magic power became more and more clear, and they even vaguely realized that there was a weaker life among them.

At this time, they were 70% sure that the one hiding there was Lily.

How easy it is for us to find, Your Majesty.

Unfortunately, your life is ending here.

These knights drew out the swords at their waists, held them in their hands, and prepared to move forward.

However, a figure suddenly appeared around the corner.

She has chestnut blond hair, tied into a common long braid, and falls behind her. Judging by her attire, she should be a peasant girl from a nearby village, wearing brown and white working clothes.

He was holding a basket covered with a white cloth, with his back to the three of them, and seemed to be walking slowly up.

Looking at the woman who appeared suddenly, the pupils of the three shrank. They were both surprised and suspicious as to why they hadn't noticed the existence of this person in their previous perception.

At this time, seeing that the queen was right in front, she must not let this woman make any strange noises to startle the hiding queen. If the other party was allowed to run away, even if they were all nobles, it would not be good for them.

The leader only hesitated for a second before deciding to kill the peasant girl first, and then quickly rushed to Lily's hiding place.

Changes happen later, and now there is no time to cover up.

For this reason, taking advantage of the opponent's unaware appearance, he waved his hand to greet his companion, and then raised his sword to stab.

However, as if by coincidence, the peasant girl in front seemed to hear the sound behind her and turned her head to avoid the passing sword.

"You..." Seeing that the woman was about to speak, the knight swung his sword rapidly again, and the blade directly slashed at the fair neck.

It wasn't until then that he saw the other party's appearance clearly.

Although she was dressed as a peasant girl from a village, this woman's appearance seemed surprisingly good? There is a reassuring sense of intimacy, as if remembering the big sister next door who took care of me when I was young in my hometown.

She opened her mouth slightly, looking a little surprised.

It's a pity, but please die here too, such a thought flashed through the knight's mind in an instant, and the sword's power remained undiminished.

The basket fell to the ground, made a sound, and then bounced slightly, shaking out the bread made in it, and the white drape also fell on the dusty ground.

I thought it would be an inadvertent killing, but the sword edge stopped at the nick of time.

Naturally, it wasn't that knight suddenly showing kindness, because even he couldn't stop in an instant.

The silver blade was held down by the finger that was used to carry the basket, and it was still an inch away from the neck. A few strands of chestnut hair were cut off by the sword wind and fell down the clothes.

"What is this..." The leading knight was surprised, and was about to draw out his long sword, but it felt like the sword in his hand was stuck in a stone, and he couldn't move at all.

Seeing this, the two companions in the rear hurried forward and slashed with their swords.

The peasant girl with chestnut blond braids simply turned around, seemingly unhappy, but coincidentally dodged the oncoming sword blade.

Seeing this, the three of them prepared to chase again, but at this moment they found that the hilt of the sword in their hands was lightened, and the sword of the extraordinary creation had been shattered into pieces and scattered into the wind, falling silently into the grass under the White Tower.

The three unarmed people felt bad at this time~www.readwn.com~ But before they could escape, the woman moved, her figure seemed to reappear after disappearing, and the three were kicked before they could make any resistance Go down the steps and fall from the waist of the White Tower into the grass below.

With the cushion of the grass, although the three of them felt a burst of pain, they were far from being injured. However, just as they were about to climb up, a burst of black spots suddenly fell from the sky.

Dozens of small wooden swords fell from the sky, pierced through the armor, inserted into its corners and gaps, and then these wooden swords quickly grew branches and roots, firmly fixing them to the ground, and could no longer move.

It wasn't until this moment that they fully realized that that seemingly ordinary peasant girl was a formidable person they couldn't afford to mess with.

On the White Tower, the woman picked up the basket that fell on the ground, and patted the dusty bread with a bit of distress.

"It's too late to eat, it's a pity to waste it."

After sighing softly, she picked up the basket and walked towards the end of the steps of the White Tower again.
