She Is Not a Witch

After Irene left, the envoys fell into a temporary predicament, but soon a new message made everyone find their way.

"In addition to the three dukes who lead the court of the Ice Palace, there is also a witch who has a strong influence on the ice elves."

After living in "Scarlandi" for a few weeks, Aitesi and the others got the news. It is said that it was a news that a member got from the divination house in the city.

"At first, I thought it was a bit ethereal, but after some inquiries, I found out that there is such a special person." Aitexi yawned a little tiredly, and after Irene left, she also became busy.

"Then go find it, anyway, there is no special news now." An accompanying messenger suggested.

"That's right..." Aitexi lay on the table and looked at Lorraine Hill, then raised her head and asked.

"Does Lorraine know about the sleeping witch, Tehua?"

"Tehua? Lorraine Hill quickly remembered this name. Keti snatched it from her at that time."

"That witch seems to live in a faraway land of ice and snow."

"Yes, but in the past few decades, she seems to have been to the Northern Continent, and she has been a guest in the court of the Ice Palace for a long time, and she has cooperated with the ice elves to do some things."

"I heard that a huge ice basin garden was built, but later the news was gradually hidden, and no one knew where the garden was built."

"Doesn't that mean that Tehua still can't be found?"

"No, there is always a general direction. It's just that there are few people there. Even in the Northern Continent, not every place is inhabited."

"All right."

"By the way, what does that Sleeping Witch look like?"

"It is said that she has black hair and a black dress, and her voice is lazy and full of temptation. I don't want to be more specific, because everyone only has this hazy dreamy image of her. When I really want to draw the image, I can't grasp the feeling."

"As expected of a witch, there are many mysterious places."

Black hair and black dress? For some reason, Lorraine Hill suddenly remembered the mysterious girl she met when she left Jackdaw Harbor.

Could it be that she was Tehua, and had she anticipated today's situation from the very beginning?

Speaking of my whereabouts, it is not a secret among witches now. If the other party is a witch, I can easily know it.

"It seems that we have to look for it this time." Lorraine Hill blinked.

According to Chris's description in the past, this Tehua is not the kind of unreasonable witch, she just has a feud with Keti, and this time to find her by herself, she probably has to apologize for Keti.

As a result, some people continued to stay in Scarlandi, and Lorraine Hill went to look for Tehua alone. The reason why she didn't bring others was because she would act faster when she was alone, and now time can't be delayed any longer.

Three days later, Lorraine Hill flew towards the direction described on the map, and she tried her best to develop her perception, looking for the mysterious garden hidden among the ice and snow mountains and rivers.

At the same time, Irene also returned to the place where her family was located.

"boom!"

The heavy doors were closed heavily, even with the lingering sound of a cold snort.

In a small, dark room, Irene sat alone on a stone chair, silent, only slowly stroking the silver-haired puppet in her arms.

This is the third day after she came back, her father and a group of elders first reprimanded her severely, and then shut her up in this hut to let her think about her mistakes behind closed doors, that is, in confinement.

According to her elder brother, this period of confinement is estimated to last for more than a month before she will be allowed to come out to meet people. During this period, their family will also contact the Tixiu family again to discuss her marriage with Palos.

"It's kind of boring." Yi Xue opened her eyes from Irene's arms, and looked at the closed door.

Although the parents' words to Irene were very harsh, even Yi Xue could tell that in fact, Irene's parents didn't make up their minds to punish this daughter. Instead of putting her in confinement, it's better to let her remember this lesson. Don't do anything out of the ordinary in the future.

"Father actually loves me very much." Irene said softly, she leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, looking at the dark ceiling.

If I go out at this time, I'm afraid many people in the family will come to see her embarrassed appearance, and maybe they will make sarcastic remarks and all kinds of discussions. Now that I am in confinement, I can avoid such things from being contacted by myself.

As for a month later, when the big wedding is coming soon, other people will not slander their own clan members in front of outsiders, because it is actually losing face in that way.

"Some customs of the ice elves have not changed, they are so cumbersome and boring." Although Yi Xue understood what Irene said, she was obviously displeased.

Such an old aristocratic style, focusing on face and etiquette, really disgusted her, especially after being exposed to the culture of Clancia and the new southern organization.

Regarding the current performance of the ice elf nobles, Yi Xue's mood is quite complicated, she probably mourns her misfortune and is angry at her indisputable.

Thousands of years have passed, but there is still no progress. Even the Green Empire led by nobles has a much more enlightened and open-minded atmosphere, and will not engage in such troublesome red tape.

"Was Lord Yixue also an ice elf in the past?" Irene finally asked the question she had been wanting to ask before. She knew that this doll knew the history of the ice elves in the past, and he should have been closely related to the ice elves during his lifetime. .

"I don't want to admit it, but it's true." Yi Xue floated up from Irene's arms, cruised around the small black room, and then sat on Irene's shoulders.

"The era I lived in was the first era, which is extremely far away from today, the era when the ice elves were still active under the world tree."

"Then, can Yixue talk about the past, such as the elf queen at that time, the mythical goblin..." Irene suddenly felt a strong curiosity.

"Well, it's probably similar to what you read in the book." Yi Xue shook her legs, looking a little lazy.

"Can you tell me?" Irene asked again.

"Okay, let me just talk briefly." Seeing Irene's curious appearance, Yi Xue knew that she was too bored in the small black room, so she picked up some patience and began to tell the story slowly.

"Then let's start with the birth of the first three clans of elves..."

"It is said that on the large and endless branches, first endless and colorful flowers bloomed, these flowers are the prototype of all flowers in the world, and then the spiritual part of the stamens floated in the moonlight, swaying in the wind like thousands of fireflies .”

"Until a certain day, the powerful part of these fireflies will turn into intelligent creatures, and they will be a generation of goblins."

"The goblins are playing carefree, they have fun, sing all kinds of songs, and care for thousands of flowers on the big tree..."

"The flowers bloomed and fell, and after so many generations, the first batch of fruits finally appeared. These fruits are green and oval, hidden among the leaves, and grow quietly in the high clouds."

"Facing these fruits, the goblins are very happy, because a new sister is born, so everyone takes care of these fruits more attentively."

"Time passed by again. On a dewy morning, the mountain wind swept over the big trees, and the leaves and branches shook, so a large number of fruits fell, and they fell into the soil, on the leaves, in the forest, and then the shells It split open, and out of it emerged a series of sharp-eared and beautiful elves."

"In this way, the first generation of the three elves was born. They were born to be the darlings of nature. They can easily maintain balance, run and chase in the complex environment of mountains and forests. Soon, families were established. They gathered in the World Tree Under the shelter of his family, he lived a simple and peaceful life."

"In order to thank the world tree that gave birth to them, these elves will hold a grand celebration every time, and the elf who presides over the celebration must be the most beautiful. She will wear a laurel woven crown and insert various flowers. Sing and dance."

"Everyone admires and worships such a beautiful elf, so they all obey her words and guidance."

"This kind of celebration is held every ten years, and the beautiful elf chosen will be called the elf queen by later generations."

"Time passed quietly, and the fruits on the world tree kept falling and turned into various elves, but there were also some fruits that hadn't fallen for a long time, so the elves were very anxious. They sang various songs to them around those fruits, telling them It's a beautiful world, don't worry, it's a peaceful and peaceful world."

"In this way, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and those fruits finally changed colors and fell one by one..."

"But it's a pity that what came out of it was not a beautiful elf, but other ugly creatures."

"The goblins ran away in fright, hiding behind the leaves and branches, not daring to look at the new sisters."

"Then the elves came, cleaned these creatures, and raised them carefully."

"Soon, these creatures grow colorful and bright feathers, and they are not elves but birds that fly to the sky."

"At this time, the goblins ran out again, wanting to play with these new sisters, but the birds couldn't understand the words of the goblins. After they matured, they jumped down from the branches and flew to the blue and clear sky."

"Birds of all colors, birds of many colours, and wings of variegated colors, they fly round the World Tree, singing the joy of this new birth, and then fly away in all directions, some never to return, some perhaps many Will be back in a year."

"Thus, the world tree is divided into three layers. Mischievous fairies live in the crown of the top tree, birds with bright feathers live among the branches of the tree, and beautiful and slender elves walk on the ground under the tree."

"In this way, around the World Tree, the kingdom of the three elves was gradually established, and the three elves began to write their own poems and legends..."

Yi Xue's words were like soft ballads, telling the ancient story, while Irene listened quietly, her eyes were intoxicated, immersed in it, and it was difficult to wake up for a long time.

"It's really beautiful. Even though I've heard these legends before, it's like a nostalgic ballad when told from Yi Xue's mouth." Irene murmured.

Books can record words, but the emotions, tunes, and ballads left over from those times cannot be fully recorded in books. After migrating to the northern continent, the ice elves lost too much of the past.

"Can you teach me, Master Yixue, those poetic legends you told about." Irene solemnly asked Yixue Gelin.

"It's very troublesome. I'm not as patient as little Lorraine." Yi Xue shook her head.

"I'll teach you again, if you can't learn it, then don't blame me."

"Well, no problem."

After leaving 'Skalandi', Lorraine Hill searched for the hidden garden on the barren frozen tundra according to the news and legends he had received before.

Where will it be?

Lorraine Hill let go of his perception and flew across the monotonous snow-white land one after another.

The mountains are undulating, the sea is filled, and her attention is slowly being consumed.

Finally, after a fruitless search one day, Lorraine Hill landed on a coast.

There is no city near here, and the dark rocky ridge is exposed on the snowfield, which is very conspicuous. With the tide rising and falling, you can hear the continuous and brittle sound.

Sweeping a clean stone, the girl sat by the sea, looking at the undulating blue sea in the distance.

What washes the shore is not foamy waves, but countless white ice cubes. Just like breaking a lot of glass and throwing it into the sea, these shattered pieces of ice collided with each other, and then against the background of the waves, they continued to wash against the coast.

What a rare sight, the girl sighed in her heart, even in the past era of advanced information, she had only seen the sea with icebergs floating, and did not want to have the special scene of ice blocks submerging the sea.

Lorraine Hill also felt a little tired after searching for several days with no results.

She decided to stay here for one night today.

Find a small valley with a leeward wind, take out the rabbit wool tent that I haven’t used for a long time, set it up easily, and then spread thick blankets and soft quilts.

Squatting in a small tent, Lorraine Hill held a small copper stove, drowsily writing his recent diary, and then drew his itinerary for these days on the map.

Woo, so sleepy.

She yawned, then fell asleep slowly on the pillow.

At the same time, the sky outside is gradually darkening, and the polar night in this area is coming. In the next few months, you will no longer see the sun, but the eternally dark starry sky.

After a long, long time in her sleep~www.readwn.com~ the girl woke up vaguely, looked at her pocket watch, she probably looked like she had slept all day.

"It's time to get up, Lorraine Hill." She said to herself, and then patted her cheek to wake herself up a little.

Putting away the blanket and quilt, and walking out of the gray rabbit fur tent, a vast and endless night sky appeared in the girl's eyes.

The air is extremely clean and transparent, and the stars in the sky can be clearly seen. The vast Milky Way star sand forms a huge oblique nebula on this dark canvas, and the stars are shining, dense and endless.

Gradually changing auroras hang down from the sky, and the huge light curtain is so magnificent that it makes people feel extremely small. The sense of existence is overwhelmed by it, and there is an illusion that it almost flies up and melts into one of the dust.

It also gradually changes from bright blue to dark green, from lavender to light yellow, magnificent and sacred, separated from all the mundane in the world, eternal and distant.

"It's really beautiful."
