She Is Not a Witch

Three days later, the airship stopped at an ice-free port in the north.

This is the northernmost point of Linhai in the north. If you want to go to the northern continent, this is the last supply point.

Stepping on the accumulated snow on the ground, there was a creaking sound from the soles of the boots, which was the sound of snowflakes compacting.

The air is very cold, and the exhaled air is covered with white mist. The cold wind cuts the ears and cheeks like a knife, which makes people feel painful. There are not many pedestrians on the street, and most of them are wearing thick coats, with scarves covering their heads and faces. and cloth.

Dilapidated iron plates hang on the street next to the pier, with the words 'Jackdaw Harbor' outlined in a hollowed out shape, telling some travelers who have just arrived here the local name.

Passing through the blue stone streets, a group of people came to a hotel with a black and blue exterior wall. After opening the door, the warm heat wave from the indoor stove brushed over the coat, melting the frost and snow, and the previously unconscious cheeks and earlobes also gradually softened. make up.

An elf scholar in the team stepped forward, and after discussing with the boss for a few minutes, the group went directly to the house behind the hotel and booked it up as a temporary place to stay for these days.

"The overhaul and replenishment of the airship will take about five days, during which we will rest and stay here temporarily." Charlie trotted over and told Lorraine Hill the current arrangement.

After listening, the girl nodded to show that she understood. The room was arranged for two people, and she naturally lived with Xia Li.

After returning to the room, Lorraine Hill lit the fire in the fireplace. Slowly, the temperature in the room rose and became much more comfortable.

After Xia Li put down her things, she didn't stay for a long time, so she went downstairs to find something to eat. Although she came from a forest elf, she seemed to like eating meat very much. She wanted to ask the shop owner if there is any What kind of special food or something.

Lorraine Hill was not very hungry, so he didn't go with him, but lay down on the bench by the fireplace for a while.

This hotel has the local characteristics of the northern border. The walls are not painted with white and smooth paint gray like those of the mansions in the south, but are directly exposed, exposing the bluestone blocks.

The overall color of the stone is very dark, a kind of deep cyan, and there are a little white textures in it, which spread and distribute in the peeled section. If you are sleepy and look at these textures with half-opened eyes, you may vaguely associate them with Many scenes and objects have a rustic natural beauty.

Several dark brown hardwood boards are fixed on the stone by big nails, on which are placed some commonly used items in the room, including a large copper wine glass, a small smoke stove with an animal head, a dark gray stone vase and so on.

The curtains are thick and rough to the touch. They seem to be made of hemp, and they are also dark blue. The most eye-catching thing in the room is naturally the white sheets. Under the contrast of the dark blue, it seems extraordinarily clean and beautiful.

Leaning on the bench, listening to the slow whirring of the flame in the fireplace, occasionally sporadic crackling, Lorraine Hill felt that the skirt was a little hot, but it was not enough to burn.

Just like that, she put her hand on the warm wooden armrest, looked sideways at the flame, and slowly took a nap. This sage girl has often become sleepy recently.

It was slowly getting dark, and it was evening.

"Squeak—" With the opening of the thick wooden door, and the sound of conversation in the corridor outside, the girl was woken up.

"Are you going shopping tomorrow, Xia Li?" It was a sunny and hearty voice, which seemed to be an elf girl of the same age as Xia Li.

"I'm going, I'm going, this is the first time I've come to the north, I must go out and have a look."

"Haha, then we agreed, we will meet downstairs at 9 o'clock tomorrow, don't forget to sleep."

"Yeah, I won't forget. I always get up early. Sleeping is such a waste of life. 24 hours a day is not enough for me." Xia Li patted her chest and finished speaking with several people before closing the door.

After approaching the room, Xia Li came to the girl and looked at Lorraine Hill, who was still sleepy, with a funny expression on her face.

"Wake up, Jialan, it's already night, don't sleep anymore."

"Woo... ah." Lorraine Hill sat up and stretched his waist, which made him sober up.

"Is it a new friend?" The girl remembered that Xia Li didn't know anyone on the airship well at first.

"Yes, there is also a senior from the Land of the River Bend, who graduated from the school there before. We gradually got to know each other on the airship, and we talked about a lot of happy things together in the past few days~" Seeing Xia Li happily Lorraine Hill admired his appearance.

Regardless of her previous life or present life, this young girl is a hard worker at socializing. She will also be envious of the kind of expert who can make friends with anyone. Fortunately, she no longer needs to be like that in the past, because life forces her to I went to beg someone, so it was much more relaxed and comfortable.

If you have as few friends as you like, you can live alone and feel at ease.

"Do you want something to eat? I brought you something for dinner." Xia Li opened the bag in hand as she said.

"What is it?" The girl was slightly curious.

"It's not bread. The bread here is not delicious. It's hard and boring. It's a pastry made of some kind of fish." As she spoke, Xia Li took out the thing wrapped in oiled paper and opened it on the table. The white pastry was like a piece A pile of small bricks exudes a faint heat and fragrance.

"Eat it while it's hot."

"Yeah." Eating the soft pastry, Lorraine Hill slowly savored the ingredients.

It should be a pastry made by removing the thorns and skin after the fish is cooked, then smashing and chopping, and then mixing it with flour and eggs.

She never expected to eat such exquisite pastries in the north. When she first came to the north, she thought the food here would be very monotonous.

After eating the pastry, Lorraine Hill simply took a hot bath, and then fell asleep in his pajamas.

Outside the window at night is the sky with faint stars, and the fireplace in the room still has a dark red fire, and the day in the north is spent peacefully like this.

The next day, shortly after dawn, Lorraine Hill changed into a black winter dress with a shawl and went out in light gray boots.

According to the letter from a while ago, Yi Xue should arrive in these two days. She is going to the port to ask, pay attention, and learn about the life of the people here by the way.

Compared with when I first came here yesterday, the street today is a bit more lively. Perhaps it is because many nearby villagers came to the city in the early morning, and they can always see aunts and old people walking by with baskets.

They used to wear plain gray and black clothes, because they were filled with a lot of cotton wool or old fur, such clothes looked bloated and the shape was not very good-looking.

'Jackdaw Harbor' is one of the territories of Duke Trey~www.readwn.com~ This is almost the northernmost place in the northern border, and there are no special products or resources around it. It is relatively barren, and the only thing that can be remembered, It is the 'Jackdaw Fleet' stationed on the other side of the sea cliff.

For those who don't know, I'm afraid it will be very strange why there is a fleet stationed in such a remote place, but if you talk about the origins of the nobles in the northern border and understand the history of the early empire, you may be able to roughly guess the reason.

That's right, this is where the remnants of Eternal Darkness Island landed and returned to the mainland in the past, and it is also the base where the empire monitors the ice elves to prevent them from going south and returning to the mainland.

It's just that such a function, with the protracted peace, was slowly forgotten, and this fleet gradually became a forgotten existence.

The warships built in the past are parked in the abandoned military port one after another. The long sails in them have long been leaking and dilapidated, and the originally black sunken wood has now turned gray under the wind, rain and exposure.

The tragic war between elves and humans has gradually become a distant and ethereal legend.
