She Is Not a Witch

Weeping Moon Corolla, Old Maple Leaf Mansion.

The crisp sound of swords colliding came from the courtyard from time to time. After finishing the morning copying task, Jailan and the knights under his command practiced their swords.

Because it was practice, it didn't use too much extraordinary ability, it was more of a skill exchange.

Things like fighting need to be practiced or used frequently to maintain, otherwise some reactions will gradually degenerate and fade away if you don't touch weapons for a long time.

Several great knights were also watching from the sidelines at the moment, some of them were leaning against the tree trunk, some were sitting on the wooden stakes aside, and more were standing and watching directly.

"Linton is very good, he can fight on a par with His Highness." Several knights on the side commented on the figure who was fighting with Jailan.

The knight in the field was named Linton, with short reddish-brown hair, a dark green burqa, and a silver-white plate armor inside. In battle, this knight was agile and sharp-eyed, even though he was not as powerful as Jailan, but he can always deal with the opponent's offense very well, and counterattacks from time to time to gain space and opportunities for himself.

"Shh..."

Once again, the blades staggered, and Jaylann used his strength to suppress the opponent's sword, and then slashed back, taking advantage of the opportunity to knock the long sword in the opponent's hand into the air.

At this critical moment, Linton did not panic, but let go decisively to avoid the attacking blade. At the same time, he rolled on the spot, drew out the dagger at his waist, and stabbed Jailan in the back.

With a ding, the dagger hit the armor and then stopped.

The two stopped each other, and the people on the side also helped Linton retrieve the sword.

"Your way of fighting is like a ranger." Jailan commented as he took the towel from the attendant and wiped his forehead.

"Hahaha, Your Highness is really discerning, and he can tell Linton's background at a glance." The knight on the side let out a haha ​​laugh, and then stepped forward, explaining one by one.

It turns out that although Linton was born in a noble family, their family traditions are quite strange. When they were teenagers, men had to live in the mountains of the territory as rangers of the family.

At this time, the old hunters or rangers in the family will usually teach the young people some knowledge of survival in the mountains, as well as the skills of fighting wild beasts and monsters.

When I grow up, I will gradually enter the small towns and villages down the mountain to handle some simple tasks, sweep away thieves and robbers, or drive and kill monsters and so on.

In this way, when they become adults, they will be recognized by the family and officially become one of them.

Although childhood and adolescence will be difficult, it is undeniable that this has also allowed Linton's family to maintain a relatively good family tradition and will not easily fall.

And the disadvantages, of course, are also there, that is, such an isolated life has kept Linton's family outside the mainstream aristocratic circle, and some upper-class nobles don't like such rough people, which is why, although Linton is One of Jailan's followers, but the reason is still unknown until now.

There are too many nobles who want to get close to the heir of the Griffin family. It was not his turn before. It was not until now that he lived in the forest that Linton gradually became prominent.

"It's very interesting, maybe others don't understand, but I believe this is indeed an ancient and practical tradition in the West."

Jailan didn't laugh like the people around him, but nodded appreciatively. He had read the books in his home and knew the history of the nobles in the western region. During the disaster at the beginning of the third era, those heroes who fought bravely against chaos They are often of low birth, and many are rangers, soldiers, hunters, and so on.

It was also because the fire was preserved in the calamity, and later recognized by the church and the world, this became the earliest group of nobles, and then the most famous hero in the western region created the Griffin family.

Such a tradition should not be ridiculed, but it is a pity that the atmosphere in the empire has changed a long time ago, so few people understand the past knowledge.

After patting Linton on the shoulder, Jailan put away his sword and went to eat with the knights.

Although compared to the past, his influence in the family and the western territory has been greatly weakened, but as an heir who has been expected and favored by everyone since he was a child, Jailan still has a group of loyal knights around him.

These knights are not only able to ride horses and have high combat strength, but many of them are the heirs of some noble families in the western region, which themselves represent a kind of political strength.

On both sides of the wide long table, the knights enjoyed their lunch, some gnawed on the roasted leg meat, and some munched on sweet fruits.

In the Emerald Forest, although there is not much meat, there are plenty of fruits and grains, so there are often more fresh fruits in the daily recipes.

Jailan, who was sitting in the main seat, was eating lunch while drinking the fruit wine at hand, looking at the companions in front of him.

'Grace, Duncan, Commons, Trask...'

He silently recited the names of these people, recalled the origins of these companions, and the time spent together these years.

Many of the knights were his companions who had grown up with him, and it was not appropriate to describe these people simply as subordinates, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that many of them were Jailan's friends and brothers.

They have been trained and studied together since they were young, went to Emenas together, went to the battlefield together, etc., and have cultivated a solid relationship with each other. Even now that Jailan has lost power, they followed him to the forest without hesitation.

‘I can’t let these people live their lives in the dark because of me. '

After swallowing the last piece of patty on the plate, Jaylan wiped his mouth with a napkin, thinking silently in his heart.

He knew that among these knights, as long as many of them were willing to leave, they would report to the Legion of the Western Territory. Given their background and strength, it would be easy for them to obtain high-ranking military positions. Now the Western Territory has been expanding its troops, making a fortune and gaining opportunities for military exploits. It's everywhere, but it's not comparable to being around me.

If before, he was still the heir of the much-anticipated family, this would not be a big deal, but the situation is obviously different now.

Following him is not only difficult to get ahead, but also more likely to be suspected and suppressed by those in power in the Western Territory in the future. In fact, this is already a danger, and it will become more and more obvious.

In the afternoon, Jailan rode a horse in the shade under the giant tree, followed by several knights and elves.

"There is a group of elves living in the oak forest in front of them. They like the sea of ​​amaryllis flowers in the oak forest very much, so when entering, you need to be careful not to step on those flowers and plants." The accompanying elves reminded Jailan.

"I see."

After walking a certain distance, Jailan glanced at the scattered small houses among the trees, got off his horse, and walked forward with a group of people beside him. At this time, several fairies were frolicking in the sea of ​​white amaryllis flowers.

Soon, these tall figures attracted the attention of the goblins, they disappeared suddenly in a flash, and then cautiously poked their heads out to inquire about this person.

"Who is he? It feels so fierce."

"Humans, not elves."

"Will they come and catch us?"

"He still has the book in his hand?"

"It's pages, they're not stapled together."

Amidst the whispers of the goblins, Jailan came under the tree and tried to say hello to the goblins, but seemed to frighten the little guys, and they scattered in the blink of an eye.

"Your Highness rest here for a while, let's communicate with these goblins."

An elf female knight riding a horse looked at the scene and wanted to laugh, but she held back. She took the Shiyao paper from Jelanen's hand, and then flew up easily.

The elves and goblins are worthy of being allies for thousands of years. After a while, these little guys and this elf landed in front of Jailan and the others.

"Are you the big man punished by Sister Aiqinweila?"

"We've heard of it."

"It's amazing to find it here."

After knowing that these people would not harm themselves, these goblins became more courageous. They circled around Jailan and the others, evaluating this foreign human.

"Let me see, which poem Yao do you want us to sing?"

""The Promised Sea of ​​Flowers, The Words She Left", is this one? I haven't sung it before." After speaking, several fairies also gathered together, and each of them took down a piece of paper, looking curiously.

"Hmph, it's also very simple. It's a story about a fool falling in love with a girl." A fairy in a dark purple dress said proudly.

"It's a bit of a sad story." Another elf commented.

"Okay, I'll sing it just once anyway, don't blame us if it's not good."

After speaking, the fairies flew up in the forest lightly. They held hands, sat on the branches, their white and slender feet swayed, and then sang this slightly sad ballad.

"White Dew Garden"

"An ancient tree stands tall"

"Blooming Blossoms"

"Grey Stone Revealed"

"Ah, people from the past"

"is no longer there"

"She told me that day under the tree"

"future things"

"Heart Jumps Like a Snow Rat"

"Looking forward to the scene where we meet again in the future"

…

"Gone with each other"

"Yi Ren is not here"

"Returning empty"

"The sun is still hot"

"Cicadas sing endlessly"

"Trance like a dream"

…

"The words she left behind"

"Writings of Comfort"

"Farewell Song"

"An Unforgettable Promise"

"A Figure Never Seen Again"

"The white skirt in the sea of ​​flowers"

"Swaying Like a Dream"

The clear and tender voices of the goblins sang this slightly sad ballad. Although it was a little green, it seemed to fit the scene in Shi Yao's novel.

The promise that he made rashly when he was a teenager, the beauty that is hazy in his memory, stays in time forever.

After a song is sung, the gentle breeze still echoes in the forest, and the white flower sea under the oak forest sways slightly, making people confused for a moment between reality and Shi Yao's dream.

After a long time, Jailan slowly opened his eyes again.

This time he didn't fall asleep, but enjoyed the song completely. Although he was not like Shiyao, he met the dreaming girl when he was a teenager and made a promise for the future, but he can also understand the poetry of Shiyao. A sad and beautiful emotion.

Perhaps, what you can't ask for is the most unforgettable and beautiful thing.

The son of the griffin stood up emotionally, thanked the fairies, and then slowly left the sea of ​​flowers and woods.

———

Time passed unknowingly, and it was time for Lorraine Hill to leave in a blink of an eye.

"Are you leaving tomorrow, Lorraine?" Aiqinweila was a little bit reluctant to part with the silver-haired girl.

Although she is a queen in the forest, she actually lives in the palace, and there are not many partners who can communicate and have fun. After Lorraine Hill left, she estimated that it would take a while to get used to it.

"Yes, but don't worry, I will come to see Aichenweila often in the future." Lorraine Hill hugged the elf queen, and gently stroked the long pink hair with her hands.

After a while, the two separated and sat beside the small round table. This is a balcony of the Jade Moon Palace, which is relatively quiet.

Fragments of sunlight shone on the palace under the shade of the trees, and the surface of the lake became a bit clearer, and the aquatic plants and a few swimming fish could be seen below.

"After Lorraine returns, there will probably be a war in the empire." Aiqinweila looked at the girl.

"Although this is true, Aichen Vera said it as if I started the war." Lorraine Hill felt that the elf queen didn't seem like the person who would ask such a question.

"That's what Veistena told me. She wants me to be prepared. I think I will send a legion to support you in the future." Aichen Vera quickly sold out her friend, and she didn't feel guilty at all. Perhaps in her It seems that this is not something that needs to be hidden.

Looking at Aichenweila's innocent appearance, Lorraine Hill wanted to rub this guy's head a little bit, although these days he didn't do less.

"Well, because the time is ripe now, I want to end the chaos within the empire."

"Lorraine is very powerful." Aiqinweila opened her eyes slightly and said what was in her heart.

"I'm not very good at politics, and I don't know how to persuade people, but I feel that Lorraine can do it."

"No, I can't convince anyone." Lorraine Hill said emotionally, and she looked at the scenery outside the balcony.

After experiencing all kinds of things in the empire, she no longer expects to solve the problem gently by relying only on revolution or righteousness as in the past.

"Aichenweila, justice is a very violent act, sometimes it is even cruel and unreasonable. There will be countless people cursing and hating you behind your back."

"But even so, you can't stop."

"I have made up my mind to shoulder these responsibilities."

Having experienced one thing after another ~www.readwn.com~ After witnessing and accepting the legacy of one God Winged Sun predecessor after another, Lorraine Hill no longer hesitated as in the past.

She lowered her head, looked at herself in the cup, and then slowly drank the tea in it.

"Is Lorraine going to use war to unify the empire?" Aichenweila asked.

"Well, this is the only and inevitable choice."

"Everything that is old will not dissipate by itself. If you want to build a new house on it, you can only smash it."

"But in this way, someone will say bad things about Lorraine." Aichenweila is not ignorant, as an elf queen, she knows the consequences of this.

"Yes, then let them scold." Lorraine Hill quietly stroked the hair in front of him with his fingers.

"I don't run away from anything like that anymore."
