She Is Not a Witch

Eastern Continent in 1728 of the Third Epoch

"Woo-"

The black train rushes out of the tunnel at the foot of the mountain with a long whistle, heading for the fields full of rapeseed flowers.

The line of sight chased the front of the running car, and the white hot air constantly emitting from its head spread backwards, and the steel grips on the roof passed by one by one, like scales on a giant dragon, leaving fast-moving afterimages in the field of vision .

The wheels painted with vermilion anti-rust paint rotate rhythmically at high speed on the rails, and the transmission structure swings back and forth rhythmically, which makes people feel an indescribable excitement, and they can't help but be intoxicated by the roar of this huge steel artifact.

"The station ahead, Baierzhou·Yimufu, if there are passengers getting off, please prepare in advance." The voice of the announcer's standard dialect came from the brass broadcast in the carriage, and they were in Oriental, Common, and Elven Said each language three times.

The train like a long dragon passes through this huge and wide golden field, and slowly drives into the city where distant buildings gather.

Accompanied by the screeching sound of the brakes, the wheels began to rub against each other, causing sparks to flicker, and then gradually came to a complete stop, and the train seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, a large amount of white air was emitted from the siren, and a long whine sounded.

When the door is opened, the passengers step down carefully while holding the handrail, and then step on the solid ground, so that they feel at ease and at ease.

Although the train has been in operation for several years, many people are still not used to this new type of transportation.

After gradually entering the era of industrialization, the booming development of the spinning industry has brought down the price of fabrics, and people are no longer satisfied with the coarse linen clothes in the past. Ordinary people can also try to buy the fancy clothes that used to be exclusive to nobles. There are two pieces.

Because the aristocrats in the past did not do production, although their Chinese clothes were beautiful, they were also relatively complicated, with hems dragging the floor and wide cuffs. Now that they have gradually become popular, ordinary people have also made many improvements to Chinese clothes to meet the needs of life. Today's new style of Chinese clothing has a lot of cut hem, and the cuffs are slightly restrained. As a match, men began to popularize new trousers, and women's stockings that show curves are gradually becoming popular.

Inside the station, pedestrians wearing clothes of various colors can be seen at a glance. Compared with the monotonous and dull clothes more than ten years ago, great changes have taken place.

"Ice cream, ice cream, ice and snow candied haws, sweet and sour~"

Inside the station, some hawkers were pushing special ice creams with new-style cold drinks in them, and began to sell them, and many bright and colorful gadgets were also hung on the side of the trolley, which made some children unable to move away.

As the crowd slowly walked out of the station, there were more prosperous tall buildings and buildings outside.

The modern industrialized cement pouring allows more design space for the floor-to-ceiling buildings. Under the eaves of each floor, lanterns or Zhanfeng Duo are hung. The colors are no longer limited to the previous bright red and blue. Bright yellow, thin purple, ice crack, turquoise, etc. began to appear.

After the emergence of new pigments, many people will make their buildings into different shapes and colors in order to try new ones or experience different things, which has brought about many changes in the oriental architectural style.

When a nation gradually becomes stronger, they will also become more confident, more open and able to accept a variety of diverse cultures. This is the case in the East today.

Here people can not only see a large number of palace buildings with cornices, but also some western-style bell tower churches, and even the elves' buildings that are close to the natural style.

Yimu Mansion is the state city of Baierzhou, and also the middle node of the railway from Longquan Bay to Huiluzhou. Due to the opening of the railway, various workshops and factories have begun to appear around here, among which are oil extraction and handicrafts. , Small objects are famous for their creation. The labor here is not as expensive as Longquan Bay, but the distance is close, and it is the main channel for all kinds of Western goods to enter the inland. It is easier and easier to contact, so it quickly caught the wave of the new era.

Walking on the crowded street, the lanterns hanging everywhere decorate the atmosphere, the small colorful windmills are lined up, spinning every time the breeze blows, and the pedestrians below are curiously looking at the various snacks on the street , there are barbecue, deep-fried, cold drinks, beverages, desserts, etc. After paying the new version of Lanfeng banknotes, the hawker puts the prepared snacks into paper bags and hands them to the guests in front of them, who will eat them while holding them. Continue shopping.

In the sky, several airships flew slowly past with slogans on them, and the long banners hanging on them said the activities held in Yimu Mansion today, as well as various rewards in the activities and so on.

‘The kite competition in the northern outskirts of the city is being held, and the most gorgeous, the most popular and the most popular contestants will be rewarded with 3000 gold orchids~’

'The four-leaf crystal workshop is a must for ice mirrors, music boxes, sewing machines, turning mills, and newlywed families. '

'The Meteor Contest is open for registration, and the winners will go to Luojing to meet with the masters of the world. '

‘Warmly celebrate the early opening of the Beifu-Shandong-Dalian Railway! Baierzhou is united with the northern people! '

The staff on the airship adjusted the instruments and steering wheel in front of them to slow down the airship and maintain the altitude.

"Is it done?" A colleague beside him asked the partner in front of him. The two of them were wearing light brown and black-edged work clothes, which were breathable and refreshing.

"It's almost there. I locked the steering wheel, and I won't need to move it for about an hour or two." The person in front answered easily after adjusting the direction.

Their task is to keep the airship above the city, just hovering slowly, and the task is very simple after they are familiar with it.

"Hurry up, I have prepared some newly bought purple leaf sweet tea. It is a new product from the Southern Islands. It tastes very good, but it will not taste good when it is cold."

"Okay, here we come." He replied with a smile.

After a while, the two came to the sightseeing corridor outside the cockpit with teacups. The view here is good, overlooking the city below and the scenery in the distance.

"These kites are really beautiful, much more gorgeous than when I was a child." One of them sighed inwardly as he looked at the colorful paper kites flying in the sky in the distance.

"Haha, isn't it? When I was young, I pestered my grandpa to paste me a square paper kite and I was so happy. Unfortunately, it fell on a tree and scratched it the next day." He shook his head and licked his mouth again. Steamy sweet tea.

In the north of the city that the two looked at, there were a lot of sparse people gathered on the wide green grass. They were holding the string in their hands, or shaking the wheel, adjusting the position of the kite in the sky.

And the various styles of kites in the sky also amazed the tourists who came here. Among them, there are one after another like a centipede, which is constantly swimming, and there are huge colorful giant rings that are slowly rotating like a Ferris wheel. A balloon, but it is still a three-dimensional structure of a kite. It looks like a dragon with spread wings, hundreds of galloping horses, and a special kite that is longer than a boat and keeps rotating like a drum.

These kites are big and small, the big ones are one or two hundred meters long, the small ones are five or six meters wide, and colorful. Under the control of the personnel below, they fly in the wind, like fishes of various colors gathering in the seabed. Floating and swinging in the current.

"Although I have watched it many times, I still feel very novel every time. Even if I sit here and enjoy it for an afternoon, I will not be bored."

"This is also a small benefit of working on the airship, haha." The two laughed while talking.

Looking past the airship that was slowly advancing in the air, he flew to the large blue grass where kites were flying. Among the thousands of people, there was also a young woman standing among them. She was wearing a sun hat and her long pink hair The sun hat was overflowing and fluttering in the wind. At this moment, he was raising his head, shielding the sun lightly with one hand, and looking at the thousands of kites flying above his head.

"Aunt Feng Nai, that looks good~" Beside her, a girl about 8-9 years old spoke softly and pointed at the huge 'whale' flying in the sky, holding ice cream in her hand and licking it with small mouthfuls.

"Ariel, that's the Ice Night Whale, a huge beast that lives in the North Sea." Feng Nai turned his head and introduced it to the child of his good friend, then picked it up again, held it in front of him, and pointed to the sky to fly giant kite.

"How big is it, Aunt Fengnai." She asked curiously again.

"Probably bigger than your yard, ahaha~" Feng Nao's laughter was clear and clear. Although it has been many years, her appearance seems to have not changed much from before.

"Okay, Missy, don't tease little Ellie." Penny, who was wearing a maid outfit behind the two of them, walked up, looking at the child in Feng Naozhong with soft eyes.

"Okay, let me put Ariel down." After that, Feng Nao put down the little girl in his arms.

"Did Ariel have a good time this time?"

"Happy, thank you Aunt Funa~" the little girl replied sweetly.

"Hee hee, you're really cute. Looking at you reminds me of when Rachel was a child, you and your mother looked exactly the same." Feng Nai squatted down to help Ariel tidy up her clothes.

"Really? But they all said that my brother and my father look alike, and I thought I would be similar to my father."

"Forget about your father, hehe, Rachel actually chose him later, which made me uncomfortable for a long time." Feng Nai thought of the bearded man he saw when he attended Rachel's wedding, and shook his head in his heart, but their husband and wife Life is pretty good now.

This time she came to the East, and Ariel always wanted to come out to play, so she begged her mother, Rachel, to let her go out. Later, Rachel couldn't, so she asked her friend Funo to take Ariel on a long trip. Compared with the strength of his husband and wife, Feng Nai is obviously much stronger, and he is also a graduate of Emenas, so he doesn't have to worry too much about safety when he brings Ariel out.

Besides, there is the caring Penny beside Funo, the two will take good care of Ariel, that's why Rachel is relieved.

"It's a lot of fun this time. You can study with peace of mind when you go back. Don't you always want to catch up with Pandora's sister? Then you have to work hard to get into Emenas. You must know that Pandora's sister is Emenas's number one." A graduate~"

"Oh, Aunt Funa is urging me again. I'm not as good as Sister Pandora." Although she was still very young, Ariel already knew that Sister Pandora with black hair and black eyes was an object of admiration that she couldn't catch up with.

Pandora, a graduate of the Walled City College by the Lake of Emenas, won the college championship for three consecutive years during the school, the president of the Black Water Lily Club, and is considered to be the second most powerful club after the first president. He once led the society to win eight of the college's "Ten Crowns", setting a historical record. After his graduation, the society put his portrait together with the first president. His black dress and black dress are more mysterious and moving, which is missed by countless teachers and students.

"Okay, okay, I won't rush you~" Feng Nao comforted Ariel, then took her hand, and continued to walk on the grass, shuttling under thousands of gorgeous kites.

…

In the distant Longquan Bay, a luxury passenger ship from the west slowly docked at the port, and then various passengers in bright clothes walked off slowly.

The seagulls were singing happily, and the sea breeze carried a slightly fishy smell of the tide. When the passengers gradually thinned out, a well-dressed young woman slowly walked down the steps. She was wearing a black lace dress, the bustle held up the hem, and the intricate patterns and pendants on it swayed slightly in the sun.

As soon as she stepped off the boat, she put her hands on the crown of her head to lightly block the sun. The black lace gloves formed a sharp contrast with the snow-white skin, which made people sigh the smoothness of her skin.

Then a dozen or so maids came out from behind the woman, some helping her with parasols, some carrying briefcases, and some wearing rapiers and small muskets, which seemed to be a security force.

"Miss Pandora, this is Longquan Bay." An elderly maid said softly behind her.

"Understood, thank you, sister Jenny." Although she is a maid, but she has taken care of her since she was a child, and she is actually similar to her sister.

Pandora glanced at the scene in the port, watching the hundreds of huge cargo ships and cruise ships docked and coming in and out, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional in her heart.

Even the largest harbor in Hopeland in Clancia probably has less than a quarter of its shipping traffic. It deserves to be the largest port in the East and an important place for maritime exchanges.

After graduating from Emenas, Pandora gradually took over the Helis Chamber of Commerce from her mother Merlu. Under her management, the Chamber of Commerce began to expand the spice and beverage industries, and various new drinks were developed, popular in Greece. Lancia and Empire, but these are not enough. After all, the beverage industry is limited in size, and she wants to let the chamber of commerce enter some new industries.

After several years of precipitation and exploration, a new type of material has been developed in the Helis Chamber of Commerce, which is taken from the sap of a tree, and after complex processing, a light and extremely tough resin can be obtained Materials, this time she came to the East, also thinking about whether the Canglan Dynasty could find a place for this material to open up new markets.

"The madam said that if the eldest lady comes to the East, she can visit some old friends. In the past, the Chamber of Commerce also had a little property here, and met many masters."

"Is the mother talking about Master Lavoisier? It is said that he is currently serving as a consultant in a door-to-door faction, leading the development and progress of many projects."

"Yes, Master Gerd helped Master Lavoisier after the turmoil in Hopeland that year, and left him some money for him to settle in the East."

"So you're still my father's friend~www.readwn.com~ Pandora picked up a little bit of hair that was blown by the wind on the side of her ear, and the emotion in her voice seemed a bit complicated.

"Well, although the relationship between Madam and Master Gerd has been separated several times, after all, they have experienced many things together..."

"Forget it, Sister Jenny should stop talking about my father in front of me." Pandora was no longer the child she used to be. After she gradually awakened her power as a witch, she naturally found out a lot of the truth about Hope Lane.

It is undeniable that the father has made achievements and sacrifices in protecting his mother, but the last behavior can also be called a kind of betrayal. She is not as gentle and deceitful as her mother, Meilu, so she doesn't have much respect for her father. Good impression, at most, just not hating.

"This time, let's visit Master Lavoisier first. In addition, I am also very curious. I want to ask Master Lavoisier what happened during the night of turmoil in Hope Lane. Five chambers of commerce disappeared overnight. , How did that sister Lorraine deal with it?"

Just like Ariel adores Pandora, Pandora also adores the mysterious sister Lacey, that is, Lorraine Hill, who is now the phoenix of Jialan in the Eastern Dynasty.
