She Is Not a Witch

After several days of sailing, a white coast finally appeared on the surface of the blue sea, and a little white ice floated in the waves, slowly sinking into the icy sea.

After entering the northern continent, the airship did not stop immediately, but continued to fly until it saw a city where life gathered.

The undulating icicles are connected together to form a tall wall with an arc, which shields one side from the cold wind, while the other side is directly open to welcome the thin and warm sunlight from the sky.

Compared with human towns, the buildings here are more exquisite and beautiful. The gray-blue and blue-green rocks are polished smooth and straight, forming the outer walls of the towers and castles. Under these tall castles and tower walls, white cottages with curved tops like bread are neatly arranged. If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that the streets and buildings below together outline a huge calendula flower, and there is a moon around it. and other flowers and plants.

"There is 'Skalandi', which means 'the city of mountains and forests and the winter wind', and it is also the largest city closest to the southwest of the Ice Elf Kingdom."

When the airship was several kilometers away from the city, it began to descend slowly. Irene introduced this magnificent city to several companions on the deck.

On the endless snowfield, there are large coniferous forests around the city, which stretch to the north and east, bringing a lot of vitality to the monotonous world.

"This is probably the last city where you can see the sun. If you go further north, you will be in the country of ice elves in the shadow season." The scholar on the side looked at the big ice-blue city with emotion in his tone.

Before they came, they had consulted a lot of classics about the ice elves. Although the forest elves hadn't interacted with the ice elves for a long time, they still left some records in the distant past.

"Go ahead. This time, it is estimated that the ruler of 'Skalandi' will guide us before we can reach the court of the ice palace in the northern continent."

"Does Irene know about 'Skalandi'?" Aitexi asked the companion beside her.

"I don't know much, I just heard that the ruling family of 'Skalandi' is a branch of the Duke of Lourdes. Lourdes, Callender, and Steed are the three Dukes who currently lead the ice elves , they wear the 'Ice String Harp', 'Dark Moon Calendar', and 'Puja Flower Sword' as their coat of arms respectively, and members of their families dominate most of the affairs and responsibilities of the Ice Palace Court."

"If you divide it by faction, in fact, the Hireni family (Silver Lily) I belong to is also a vassal under the Duke of Callender."

The propeller of the airship blows the ice particles on the ground, bringing up white snow mist. After shaking and adjusting, the excellent airship slowly stops on the ground, and the propeller and sail also stop moving and become quiet.

The long ladder made of metal was lowered, and the spikes on the bottom side of the tail were embedded in the frozen soil to fix it, and then a bit of the forest elf stepped off the airship.

When Lorraine Hill walked off the airship with the doll in his arms, a group of ice elf cavalry riding cold feather birds had already rushed over in the distance.

The blade of the long lance is elongated into a narrow and sharp triangle, reflecting bursts of cold light in the sea breeze. The strength of these ice elf cavalry is not weak, almost everyone has the strength of Sequence 3, which can be said to be rare The elite.

When they approached, they did not launch an attack immediately, but waited in full swing, negotiating with their own envoys.

The envoys first took out the imperial edict of the current Queen Achenvilla, negotiated the documents, and then let Irene come out to talk to the ice elves.

After seeing Irene, the ice elf, the cavalry captain's expression softened a little, but he still looked at the documents vigilantly for a long time before raising his head.

"Sorry, I can't decide many of these things, but I can hand over some of the documents to Lord Antonis for you. He is the lord of the 'Skalandi' now, and he can make decisions."

"We can accept it, but we also hope not to wait too long." Several members of the envoys nodded to each other, expressing their understanding.

So, the first day ended here, and the envoy first camped near the place where the airship landed, waiting for a reply later.

The next day, no one in the city came to reply to the letter, but some extraordinary people in the envoy sensed some prying figures in the sky.

On the third day, still no progress.

On the fourth day, a few ice elves finally came to the camp. They said that a small number of members of the envoys could enter the city, but the number should not exceed five.

After some negotiations, the envoys and Irene finally formed a team of six and entered the city, including Lorraine Hill.

Riding on a long-haired pony, Lorraine Hill was wearing a light gray and ice blue coat, with a wide hood on his head, and his transparent blue eyes looked curiously at the scenery on both sides of the street.

The city of 'Skalandi' is very lively. Ice elves with long ice blue hair can be seen everywhere. They wear light blue long skirts, often with a layer of semi-transparent tulle as an embellishment.

These ice elves were very curious about the people entering the city, and from their conversations, Lorraine Hill found that many of them did not know the news of the arrival of the envoys, but were only curious about the appearance of the forest elves.

Most of the forest elves have golden or chestnut hair, which is different from the ice elves, which are easy to distinguish. In addition, they all have long pointed ears.

Compared with the slightly lively forest elves, the ice elves are mostly quieter, and there are few scenes of shouting loudly even on the street. These ice elves are often used to writing the price on the bulletin board at the side, and they don't want to talk too much, and generally buying and selling don't take too long to bargain.

Compared with the places Lorraine Hill has been to, there are no such mobile stalls on the streets here, they are all in their own shops, and the shops are also decorated very warmly, with a sense of life.

Emerald vines, different small pendants and curtains, white conch cups, light yellow scented tea, and a small hand stove breathing in light and dark, the interior style here can see the vines and flowers that the elves have always seen, and you can also see some of them. The unique oriental elegant style has a feeling of combining east and west.

Maybe it's been cut off from the Western Continent for too long, which made the Ice Elves more affected by the Plantagenet Dynasty.

Coming under the towering city wall, several elf knights in moon white armor in front of the castle unlocked the door and let the gate rise slowly.

There was a creaking sound, and some ground ice chips fell along the door. It seems that this gate is not often used.

Lorraine Hill raised his head, looked at the several tall towers behind the gate of the castle, glanced over, and found that there were many traces of the arrangement of the magic circle.

It seems that the security measures here are very tight, perhaps because of the proximity to the border.

There was no sound in the aisle of the castle. Although several elf knights watched the group of people step in, they remained silent, neither welcoming nor hostile.

When you come to the hall in the castle, what you see is a huge ice blue lyre, which is about ten meters high and close to the top of the ceiling. The whole is made of solid ice, beautiful and magnificent, which makes the first-time guests feel To a kind of amazement.

"Welcome everyone to 'Skalandi'~"

"I'm Antonis, and I'm also the current manager of 'Scarlandi'."

The quiet environment was finally broken, and an elf man wearing an ice blue dress and short light blue hair walked down the stairs.

"For hundreds of years, the forest elves have not visited our distant ice and snow country. What mission are they carrying this time?"

He didn't have too much politeness, but directly asked the purpose of the group's visit.

"This time we came here mainly to solve the problem of cold disaster together with the same clan in the past, and also to restore the communication between the two clans."

Aitexi was the first to speak. As the princess of the forest elves, she has the right to negotiate with foreign countries.

"Is it the cold disaster... It is indeed a trouble, and I can provide you with some help on this point."

After meditating for a while, Antonis nodded, then patted his palms, and asked a group of attendants to arrange clean white shell tables and chairs, inviting everyone to sit down together.

"Everyone came to the north from a long distance. Although I can't entertain you grandly, I still have prepared some basic etiquette. Let's have dinner here tonight. I think that after hundreds of years, there is still a lot to say about each other. things."

Unlike the indifferent elf knights and residents outside, this manager maintained a certain enthusiasm for the mission.

Soon, the meals were served one by one.

Transparent ice crystal shrimp, sweet and soft pastry, delicious transparent hot soup, and steaming barbecue ice pig, the food here is not simple.

And at the dinner, Antonis's sister also came to participate, which made the atmosphere a little more harmonious. After some conversation, the few people became familiar with each other easily.

The Antonis brothers and sisters are not too old, probably about the same age as Vestana. They grew up in the courtyard of the Ice Palace when they were young, and they came here more than ten years ago to succeed the previous city lord, his uncle.

"Is sister Irene still in the habit of eating tonight?" The noble woman in an ice-blue off-the-shoulder dress asked Irene softly. She is Antonis' younger sister, Anton Xueni.

"The habit even makes me miss the time long ago." Irene replied.

After confirming that Irene was the eldest daughter of Earl Hireni, Anton Xueni became more enthusiastic and interested in her.

"How did Sister Irene leave the Northern Continent at that time? I was still in school at that time, and suddenly everyone started spreading your story, which aroused the yearning and curiosity of many people."

"This... I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly tonight." Irene shook her head, smiled at the curious junior, and then briefly explained.

With the existence of Irene, the original ice elf nobleman, the relationship between the two parties quickly became familiar and eased.

At the end of the dinner, Anton Xueni quietly said to Irene: "This time, your visit will probably be very difficult, because the adults in the Ice Palace Court do not want to see you. Even my brother and I can only provide Limited little help."

After Irene finished listening, she wanted to continue asking, but An Dongxue Ni had already returned to her brother's side, and the two bowed together to salute, ending the dinner.

After arriving at the residence arranged in the city, Irene told the matter to Aitexi, Lorraine Hill and others, and then they discussed it together.

"It looks so troublesome. I'm not good at dealing with people or dealing with complicated relationships." Aitexi lay on the table, looking at the white candle lamp in front of her with a little discouragement.

"I guess I have to trouble the special personnel in the mission for these things." Irene suggested after thinking about it for a while.

All kinds of talents in the mission this time were well-prepared. Some were good at history and knowledgeable, some were high-level transcendents who were in charge of combat, and some were good at diplomacy and negotiation.

In the next two days, the Antonis brothers and sisters entertained several people again, and then presented a lot of local supplies to the envoys, such as food and daily necessities, but there has been no progress on the reunion of the two races.

"Can we go directly to the court of the Ice Palace?" Aitexi asked Irene one night.

"I'm afraid it won't work. The Ice Palace is located in the middle and highest point of Beiyaohan Mountain. Not to mention the steep terrain there, there are still several big cities guarded by ice elves around. If we force our way in, it will probably lead to a conflict with the ice elves." Ai Lin shook her head.

"This is troublesome. If we can't cooperate with the ice elves to investigate, we can't do it by covering such a vast continent and ocean."

"Why is the court of the Ice Palace so indifferent to our visit? In these days, news has probably been sent back there."

"I don't know, maybe it's rejection? Or maybe it's trouble?" Irene guessed.

"It's not a good thing to procrastinate like this."

In the next few days, the envoys tried various methods, contacting several other nearby ice elf cities through trade routes, or taking long detours to the hinterland of the ice elves, but all of these were stopped by the ice elves.

As Antonis said, the court of the Ice Palace rejected the reception of the envoys and did not want to get involved with the forest elves again.

"Hateful." After the soft contact failed, Aitexi was a little angry, but her reason told her not to use violence.

And just when their patience was running out, different news finally came.

"The eldest son of the Hireni family has brought people over," Antonis said to the envoys one day.

"That's Miss Irene's brother?" asked the elves on the side.

"Yes." After hearing the familiar name, Irene nodded helplessly. It seemed that she would not be able to stay in the mission for long.

Three days later, a group of travel-stained teams came to 'Skalandi' on horseback. A stern man in a dark blue windbreaker got off his horse. He gripped the hilt of the sword engraved with dark blue and gold patterns on his waist, and then hurried to the envoys. resident visits.

"Irene."

After seeing Irene, the elder brother's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to sternness.

"You should go back." His voice was calm and low.

"My lord brother..." Looking at this powerful elder brother, Irene slowly lowered her head.

"I see, I will follow the arrangement at home."

"snort."

"It's not just an arrangement, you have to apologize to the Tixiu family, and my father and I will accompany you there."

"One more thing, I'm afraid I have to tell you in advance that Palos' health is very bad now. Your escape back then not only brought shame to the family, but also made Palos' environment at home harsh and difficult."

"And you know his character. He was not good at words, introverted and weak. Because of this incident, he was ridiculed by his peers and even his own sister. Under such long-term depression, his health is getting worse and worse. Even suffering from moon withering disease."

"Moon disease?" Irene raised her head when she heard this, her face full of surprise.

"Yes, the cause of this disease is difficult to explain and ascertain, but the sick elf slowly thins and dims like a crescent moon, and finally withers and dies."

"I think you should be familiar with this. After all, you suffered from it for a while when you were a child, and it was only later that you recovered miraculously."

"Let's go, don't make people wait too long this time. Even if Palos dies, you have to marry into the Tixiu family."

After finishing speaking, the stern brother led people out of the mansion, leaving only a few followers at home to help Irene handle and carry the luggage.

"Miss Irene, we should go back." Several familiar ice elves came to Irene.

Are you leaving? Lorraine Hill looked at the hesitant Irene and sighed slightly. This is someone else's family business~ www.readwn.com~ It's not easy for her to interfere, but...

Just as Lorraine Hill was thinking in her mind, the puppet in her arms moved, and a whisper came into her mind.

"Well, I see..." the girl replied in a low voice, and then walked to Irene's side with small steps.

"If Sister Irene wants to go back, I haven't prepared any other gifts for you, so just give this doll to Sister Irene. I hope she can accompany you on the road to relieve boredom." When speaking, Lorraine Hill blinked. Eye.

"This..." Irene looked at Lorraine Hill who winked at her. Although she didn't understand the reason for a while, she also knew that it meant to let her accept it.

"Then thank you, Jialan."

Afterwards, Lorraine Hill sent an exquisite small suitcase, which was specially used to hold the body of the silver-haired doll, and asked Irene to hold it. In this way, in the afternoon, Aitexi and Lorraine Hill watched Irene Follow the family team to leave the city and go to the hinterland of the ice elves, which is the direction of the court of the ice palace.
