She Is Not a Witch

In March of spring, all kinds of flowers bloom in the Emerald Forest, and the cold north wind in the past is gradually weakening, becoming warm and warm.

On the forest road leading to the Emerald Garden, a team of hundreds of knights is slowly moving forward. They wear large lion mane cloaks, and their horses are also covered with white cloth armor. The straight lances are like classical art. A triangular flag hangs from the point of the gun.

These knights had long swords on their waists, and large lion-faced round shields hanging on their saddles. As the horses stepped forward, the armor rubbed slightly and made noises. Even though they were not in a fighting state at the moment, they still made the elves in the forest feel brave. and powerful momentum.

"That's the Duke of Griffin, the white lion knight of the Salius family?"

On the tall redwood tree house, a few elves overlooked the team below, discussing in low voices.

"Yes, it is said that the White Queen Tesslin sent the eldest son of the Griffon family, Jailan, as an emissary to visit the Elven Queen."

"What kind of attention is this? Doesn't the Duke of Griffin know about the connection between my Emerald Forest and the nobles in the Eastern Realm?" an elf archer asked puzzled.

"Who knows, maybe the other party has some new ideas or ideas that can convince the big shots in the Emerald Court."

"Ha~, it's really annoying. I don't care about the thoughts of these big shots. I'll go to the Campanulaceae Corolla first. I heard that a delegation of ice elves recently came there and brought a lot of interesting things."

"Very beautiful ice flower decorations, and a special snow silk dress. I heard from my sister that it looks good. Now many noble girls will buy one."

"Is it so beautiful? Our Emerald Forest is the weathervane of the empire's popularity, and we are so bowed down." Another elf woman didn't believe it. She sat on a tree branch and was wearing a white lace dress with emerald edges.

"It's hard to say, after all, the ice elves are similar to us, and the aesthetics are not bad."

"Go, let's go and have a look, I'm getting tired of being at home recently."

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you this time. By the way, should we also buy a 'Flying Bird'? This kind of aircraft has been seen more and more in the forest recently, and sometimes I want to try it too. .”

"Well, let me think about it. I know a friend who works in the chamber of commerce. She buys goods from the south, which will be much cheaper."

As the elves spoke, they slowly turned their attention away from the knight team, and then easily shuttled through the tall tree crowns.

Huge sequoias more than 100 meters high are all over the forest. The road under the shade of the trees meanders through the forest, occasionally turning over tree roots like hills, and sometimes passing under a certain giant tree. You can often see that tree on the way A hut built among the branches of a giant tree.

Like a mushroom, it seems to be scattered but gathered. The red and blue roofs distinguish it, and it is very beautifully decorated. Occasionally, some elves can be seen coming in and out, and those emerald glass windows reflect bursts of light in the sun white light.

"What are you thinking, Master Jaylanen?"

Among the knights, a handsome knight in dark blue armor rode forward and asked about the blond and majestic man.

"It's nothing, I'm just feeling that elves are indeed different from humans." The eldest son of the griffin raised his head, revealing his sculpted face. His formerly handsome face now has some beards, giving people a sense of vicissitudes and maturity feeling.

"Indeed, elves are very different from humans in terms of lifespan, concept and customs. Nowadays, most elves in the empire return to the forest to live, and those outside are very rare." asked.

"Master Jaylanen is still a little bit reluctant to let go, the arrangement of the Duke this time is too..."

"Okay, don't say any more." Jailan sighed, interrupting the friend's words.

"Grace, we've been together since we were kids, haven't we?"

"Yes, my lord, since I came to the Duke's house at the age of 10, I and a group of other attendants have accompanied you to practice martial arts and study."

"Well, I understand. This is because my father wants me to have a good relationship with the next generation of vassals. After I inherit the title as an adult, you will probably become the real power lords of various places in the Western Territory." Jay Lanen mentioned the upper class of the Western Territory for some reason. These well-known arrangements.

Almost every generation of duke heirs will get a group of partners when they are teenagers. They are the heirs of the great nobles in the western territory, many of them are even the eldest sons. These people have learned and grown up with the future duke since they were young. When they reached adulthood, they each inherited titles and could continue to maintain this connection, thus making the rule in the west stable.

This is a good thing whether it is for the Griffon family as a duke or the nobles as vassals.

However, the development of things will not be so absolute.

As Jaylann grew up, these companions around him gradually reached the age of inheriting the family business and title, and the power gathered around him became stronger and stronger, and his right to speak and influence in the Western Territory became greater and greater. .

If it is according to the old plan or expectation, the old Griffin Duke is already in his twilight years at this time, and his energy and ability have declined significantly, and he will gradually transfer his power and affairs to Jay Lanen, so that he can grow up step by step and cultivate prestige , until finally inheriting the title, becoming a new generation of Grand Duke Griffin, in charge of the entire Western Territory.

But now there is an unexpected variable, that is, the witch carved in the holy white stone, imitating Hua Silin's recovery.

Witches are regarded as disasters or blessings, variables of fate, such legends and nicknames are not without reason, maybe it is just an unintentional change of them, which will bring many effects.

In order to quickly make the Western Territory stronger and integrate its forces, Imitation Vaslin did not choose Jaylann, who was still a young man at the time, but supported the more ambitious and obsessed old duke.

With the blessing of the witch, the lion, which should have been aging, grew its fangs again, regained its former glory, and began to realize the once suppressed ideas step by step, and constantly competed for the highest throne of the empire.

Nowadays, in the upper echelon of the Western Empire, there are even rumors that the old duke will marry the current Queen Tesslin and become the nominal prince and actual ruler of the empire.

Although the Duke of Griffin did not admit the rumor, he did not publicly deny it, which caused many people in the empire to waver and think about the direction of the future.

If this matter is achieved, it also means that the children of the Duke of Griffin and Queen Tesslin will become the next generation heirs of the empire, possessing both the crown of the empire and the crown of the Western Territory. Location.

His best result is to inherit the Western Region, but if this means taking away most of the territory of the Western Empire, then the next generation of emperors will become a joke and a puppet.

Obviously, for the sake of continuation and strength in the future, the old Griffon Duke, who is the most powerful, is definitely unwilling to split the crown.

At this time, the existence of Jie Lanen became an obstacle.

Perhaps it was because the father and son gradually realized this problem with each other. In the past two years, the communication between the two sides has become less and less, and the two younger brothers have become more and more favored by the Duke of Griffin. , and now even began to take over part of the legion to cultivate their own power.

In the end, I don't know which wise man and staff member gave the old duke a suggestion, that is, let Jaylann go to the Emerald Forest to unite with the forest elves.

"This mission, in fact, is also a division." Geilan turned around and looked at the mighty and strict white lion knights behind him.

These knights are all his confidantes or bodyguards, and now his father generously sent them all out to let them go with him, just to reassure him and try to achieve the goal of this visit. In fact, this is the best arrangement between father and son in the future .

On this trip, he will carry Queen Teslin's will and propose to the current Elven Queen Achenvera. If feasible, he will also live in the Emerald Forest in the future, serving as a link between the Western Empire and the Emerald Forest.

Such a result means that he voluntarily renounced the duke's inheritance rights, and the two parties can maintain a peaceful relationship in the future, so that they will not continue to split.

From the point of view of interests, it is quite a good idea, but personally, it is difficult to call it a good thing.

Although Jie Lanen did not marry Fa Xin'er, in fact he had already accumulated a lot of affection for this girl, and even dreamed of their happy life together after marriage.

But I didn't want things to change so quickly, the empire collapsed and split, and the relationship between the northern and western borders changed from alliance to suspicion, and then to hand in hand again. The relationship changed several times in the middle, which made his position become awkward and ugly.

In the past, no one dared to ridicule and discuss the eldest son of the duke, but now some nobles began to whisper suspicion and ridicule.

Laughed at him for not keeping his fiancée, laughed at this clown-like behavior, failed to marry the Trey family, and ran to the Emerald Forest again.

Rumors and rumors of stigmatization spread from the corner, but the culprit could not be caught, so that when things happened, Jailan quickly understood.

In fact, just think about it, who in the west would dare to take such a big risk and spread such a thing, would it be of any benefit to them.

It will not be those ordinary nobles, nor those familiar vassals of the great nobles. As for the remaining candidates, Jailan no longer wants to guess.

The Griffin family in the west is the biggest force, and it is impossible to have a more powerful existence than it.

Since you don't want me to inherit the title, why stay in this sad place.

After receiving the mission order, Jaylann counted the knights under his command, asked his former companions, and set off with those who were willing to follow.

"Grace, do you think the Elven Queen will agree to such an outrageous or even offensive request this time?"

Jaylan swung the reins, let the war horse trot forward, and opened a small distance with the knights behind him to facilitate conversation with his companions.

"I don't know, Your Highness." Grace shook her head.

"Although the historical records in the empire show that the former founding king, the red prince Yalin, captured the heart of the elf queen at that time with his eloquence and handsome appearance, but after many years, people recalled the marriage at that time again. , found that there are too many coincidences and accidents."

"How did an ordinary prince of a human country overcome the barriers of many elf guards in the forest, avoid the interference of those elf sages, and meet the elf queen who was going out in private."

"And that elf queen was so pure and innocent that she agreed to the prince's marriage proposal, and none of the elders and sages objected."

"Even at the wedding scene, more than a dozen witches came to give blessings, which is simply incredible."

"Looking back at the history of the rise of the Green Empire, it is like a legend, full of surprises and miracles everywhere."

"Although our visit this time is the order of Her Majesty the Queen, in fact, everyone knows that Her Majesty is just a stamp and a helpless signature. It is the Duke who is really in charge."

"Father told me at the time that after arriving in the forest, someone will naturally meet me, and then the other party will tell me how to persuade the queen." Jailan shook his head, he couldn't figure out what conditions the Duke of Griffin had prepared, and it was so confidence.

Although he and his father are currently at odds, if the negotiation fails, not only will he lose face, but the Griffin family will also become a laughing stock in the empire.

‘He actually proposed to the current elf queen, who does he think he is? The legend of the wind and the moon? It's hilarious. ’ Words like this may immediately spread throughout the empire.

Thinking of this, a wave of gloom accumulated in Jailan's heart. The eldest son of the griffin, who was bold and unrestrained in the past, has now become much more decadent and dazed, making the followers behind him sigh.

But even so, they didn't know how to persuade the young lion. After all, it was a conflict within the Griffin family. They, as vassals, sometimes had to be cautious in their words and deeds, and think more about their family members behind them.

White armor and cloak, big lion-beast-like round shield, and long mane on the shoulders are still mighty. These elite white lion knights of the Salius family escorted their masters step by step into the depths of the forest.

The birds flew by, the breeze was blowing, and some fallen leaves slowly floated down. Between the old and new leaves on the branches, flowers bloomed in full bloom.

———

Court of Emeralds, three-color feather corolla.

In the courtyard full of flowers, several familiar figures are sitting on the white cloth among the grass. There are several rare fruits in the middle, and several small wine jugs are placed in them. Some of them have been opened, and the mellow and fragrant booze.

"Would you like some wine, Your Highness Jialan?"

An elf man sat on a white cloth and asked with a flagon in one hand. He had short blond hair, and the ruby ​​pendant beside his ear shone brilliantly in the sun.

"No need. Thank you Lord Eperion." Lorraine Hill shook her head, she didn't drink much.

"His Royal Highness Jialan is still unmarried, so don't force her to drink. Why don't you share more with me, Eporion." Hua Delin was lying in the grass at the moment, biting the grass stem he had just picked in his mouth, and watched as he gradually walked towards the center. bright sun.

"Then this bottle will be given to you directly, Huadlin." Eperion picked up the wine jug on his side with an unchanged expression, and handed it to the person lying beside him.

"You two, you only know how to drink. How are things doing now?" Westena approached the grass, bent over and sat beside Lorraine Hill, rested her head on the girl's lap, and ate The fruit in front of my eyes.

"As for the purpose of the eldest son of the griffin, I have already sent someone to inquire clearly. In addition, we have also made a general understanding of the completion of the conservatives." Hua Delin began to talk about the latest information.

"First of all, it is the first test of 'Falling Fire Basin and Lotus Dress'. We are sure to win this."

"The second test, Xunmu Yuzhi and the Back of Forgetting, we already have Xunmu Yuzhi, but the team sent by the other party seems to have gained something after going to sea, and it is very likely that they also got the Forgotten Back, so this preliminary estimate works draw."

"The third item, the horn of the cloud splitting beast and the wind of Wang Mi, I am sure that the conservative side failed because they sent several groups of people into Titania, but they failed to get out. give up."

"The fourth item, Ye Zhishi and Star Painting, now we have almost completed Ye Zhishi, only one section is missing, unless the other party brings out the complete Xingtian painting scroll, which is almost impossible."

"So, even if you don't look at the fifth item, we won this duel." Hua Delin said relaxedly.

"If only it were so easy." Veistena shook her head.

"Everything is not over yet, and it is always prone to some variables. It is true that we have the advantage at present, but sometimes we are afraid of some problems."

"Vistena is still very cautious, don't worry, I will do my part this time." Eperion raised his glass, toasted the former senior, and drank it.

"Really, then I can look forward to it." Vestana lowered her head and picked up the small wine glass on the white cloth, and took a sip as well.

For this nominal junior, she couldn't see through him for a long time. Although Eporion has never shown any malice towards her, it is difficult for her to get along with other people. heart.

In the eyes of outsiders, Eporion is undoubtedly a painter with a melancholy atmosphere. His usual words and deeds are also so elegant and almost perfect. He is handsome and powerful~www.readwn.com~ It can be said that there are many existences in the forest who admire him Many people are proud to imitate his painting style and words and deeds.

But Vestena knew that although this junior behaved flawlessly, it was hard to say that this situation was his true thoughts or state. She was one of the few people who knew the past of this junior.

When Eperion met Lorraine Hill for the first time, he said that his youth and youth were unbearable. This sentence was not only so light on the surface. This sage painter may have died in a corner of a dark alley long ago.

Beautiful elves, regardless of gender, are excellent high-quality goods in the underground black market of the empire.

The date for the announcement of the results of the five tests is approaching, and the Emerald Forest is slowly becoming lively.

In each corolla, the elves in the town gradually rushed towards the Emerald Court, and there were even a lot of airships from the outside world in the sky.

In another month, the duel of this test will come to an end, and where will the forest go in the future, everyone is full of curiosity and anticipation.
