Not a Witch

"Like a newborn bird, pack lightly on the road, spread your wings and fly, and experience the sky with flowing clouds and light wind."

"Just treat it as my personal conjecture. If you think it's unreasonable, you must have your own reasons. Others can't interfere with it."

Lorraine Hill looked at the ice calendula that was gradually flying away in the wind, and narrated some of her little thoughts. She is not a master of emotion or a philosopher who has experienced the vicissitudes of life in the world, these are just her little thoughts.

"Well, but it's really better to hear what Lorraine said."

Yi Xue Gelin was floating in the sky, slowly circling around the ice calendula.

"So how does a new life start? I don't have anything particularly longing for."

"Then do what you like and feel comfortable with." The girl's voice came from under the sea of ​​flowers.

"For me, every night, watching the sunset under the sunset is a favorite thing. In winter, sitting by the warm fire, watching the blood slowly falling outside the window, when the weather is fine, in the breeze Taking a nap under the window of the roller blind, watching the golden ears of corn in the wild during the harvest season all make me very happy.”

"No matter how many times, I never get tired of it."

The girl opened her arms, jogged in small steps, then jumped down from the hill, slowly floated up with the wind, and then floated in the air shoulder to shoulder with this ghost lady.

"Life is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, and there are many difficult and painful things to do, but this does not prevent me from having these beautiful dreams."

"It is these beautiful things waiting for me ahead that I am willing to endure and work hard to get through these difficult years."

"Take one step, and take another step, and the road will be opened up."

Yi Xuegelin looked at the silver-haired girl and asked, "Did Lorraine ever have a time of confusion and difficulty?"

"Yes, it has lasted for a long time, the whole person is like a mouse in the ground, inferior and small, afraid of being seen."

"I can't see it at all. If Lorraine was a mouse, he would also be that kind of white, fat and cute hamster." Yi Xuegelin's mood gradually became brighter and more relaxed.

After unraveling her heart knot and gradually letting go, Yishegelin no longer entangled with the strange past in her memory, and the two flew freely in the sky, visiting the forest and mountains under the moonlight, until the warm sun came from the east again. rising.

The warm sunshine fell on the world, and the flying two finally landed on the edge of a quiet lake, which was just outside the ice flame hive.

"Then, let's start here."

Three days later, with the help of Lorraine Hill, the ice calendula that originally grew on the hill was moved to the edge of the lake.

The lake in the deep mountains was clear and cold, and the crystal-clear coffin slowly fell from the surface of the lake, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.

The water was rippling, and the sleeping girl was at peace. The two on the lake looked at the coffin in the lake light, slowly floated up, and fell back to the shore.

"Just put it underwater like this?" Lorraine Hill asked.

"Well, every time I see it, it's like looking in a mirror."

"The me in the mirror has already fallen asleep, and the me on this side must also learn from it, no longer blindly obey other people's words, but live out my own life."

"Is there anything you want to do now?"

"Yes, I want the calendula to bloom and create my favorite garden." The ghost girl said, her illusory body revealing its real beauty in the sunlight.

Chapter 110 Six Capital of the Clock Tower

Frost Rose, the first district, the former Luerna country, Mozwa, the capital of the clock tower.

Thick black smoke was emitted from the chimneys in the suburbs, neat rows of factories were densely covered on both sides of the river, and tall ships slowly passed by the river, bringing long wakes.These ships sailed inland from distant estuaries, constantly unloading various heavy cargoes, some were black coal, some were heavy metals.

These things are shipped from all over the place, and then gathered here, they will be processed into various alchemy products, and then sold to various places.It includes weapons, cannons, clocks, telescopes, metal parts, etc., and the huge benefits generated make the alchemists in Lurna extremely rich.

The streets in the city are very spacious, and the brass street lamps are exquisitely shaped, but unfortunately some corners have been covered with a layer of rust.

There was a small amount of water on the road after the rain, and as the carriages passed by quickly, there was a splash of water.Some of these carriages are pulled by horses, and some rely on machines to drive, or they should not be called carriages, magic guided locomotives are more appropriate.

As a magical locomotive stopped, first a middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper got out of the car, then opened the car door, and helped a girl in a blue skirt to step down gently.

The high heels stepped on the wet floor, and there was a slight splash.The girl with blond hair and blue skirt looked up at the towering building in front of her lower body, the long spire stretching all the way to the sky.There are four huge stone pillars in front of the main entrance. People in clothes and leather shoes are constantly entering and leaving the gate, and various conversations can be heard from inside from time to time.

"Is this the branch of the Aoni Chamber of Commerce?" The girl walked in front with her skirt up, and several bodyguards in black walked behind.Looking at the exquisite patterns of the mechanical long swords in the hands of these bodyguards, one can tell that these are exquisite alchemy creations after enchantment.

"Yes, miss."

The steward at the side led the way, and then introduced the background of the Aoni Chamber of Commerce.

"The Aoni Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in books and paper making, and is also involved in opera and performance industries."

"It is said that over the years, because of the cultivation of a group of famous singers, performing operas and poetry, the sales of their own books have greatly increased." The housekeeper continued.

"Then their products should be very popular with those nobles or wealthy ladies. Why not set up their headquarters here? The rich people in Mozwa should be the top three in Xuehua Seven. The alchemists and scholars of our country are more interested in literature and drama, and have more guests than the profit-seeking Ubele merchants."

"Well, it is said that most of their paper mills are located in Verga, because it is close to the forest farm and some raw material production areas, which is more convenient. Later, Verga split, and they were also assigned to the west side, and only part of the industry was transferred."

"New Verga..." The blond young lady was thoughtful, then walked into the hall, looking at the rows of windows and the long queue.

"There are a lot of people, have you made an appointment in advance?"

"The appointment has been made. Miss, please come with me. The person in charge of Aoni's branch is on the third floor." The butler walked in front, and then asked a follower behind him to contact the waiter in the chamber of commerce.

Not long after, several people in neat uniforms stepped forward to greet him.

"Welcome Miss Shelia's family to visit, please come with us." A long red carpet was put down, and then stood on both sides and bowed to pay respect.

Seeing the grand scene in the hall, some people around started talking.

"Who is that lady? Make the Aoni Chamber of Commerce so welcome."

"I don't know, but judging by her appearance and the bodyguards around her, she should be from a certain big family."

"I've never seen her before, but she's really beautiful." A guest sighed.

"Okay, okay, it's just those few words that come and go, and I'm also a literature lover, don't you know other adjectives?"

"Isn't this just out of the mouth? It's better to be simple in life. By the way, does anyone of you know that lady? I want to know her name"

"But I don't know either."

"I don't know."

After a long time, a voice came from the corner: "That's the leader of the Moment of the Hour faction, the eldest lady of the Shelia family, Ladis."

As the voice fell, the blond girl also disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

As the capital of Lurna, Mozwa was known as the capital of clock towers. This is because in the early years, clocks were precision creations that only a small number of alchemists could manufacture. high.

Most alchemists are also proud of being able to make accurate clocks and watches. Because Mozwa is the capital, there are many well-known alchemists in the country, and there are many factions. Most of them will build a big clock tower on the faction's building. , in order to highlight their own excellent technology, but also has the role of advertising.

In this way, there are more and more clock towers in Mozwane, and finally it is named the capital of clock towers.

Hundreds of years later, the number of alchemists in Luerna multiplied, and although the clocks and watches became more sophisticated, these clock towers remained.And to this day, some alchemy factions still retain their early names, and 'The Moment of the Hour' is one of them. As a faction that started out as a clock maker, it is still one of the six strongest factions in the country, and the leader family As a descendant of her, Letis naturally possesses a lot of power.

Aoni Branch, third floor.

"That is to say, does Miss Lettice want to publish her own publication?"

A middle-aged man in a white shirt and a neat waistcoat sat on the sofa, looked at the blond lady opposite, and asked carefully.

"Yes, everyone's aesthetics are too vulgar nowadays. It's still the kind of thick pink face, wearing layers of skirts, and the ornaments hanging on it probably weigh a few catties. Decorating women like vases is uncomfortable to look at. .”

After talking in detail, the blond girl picked up the white porcelain teacup in front of her and took a small sip. She was already dissatisfied with some of the current clothing styles. When other girls of the same age were still chasing trends, she had already begun to think about what to do Create a trend.

"Then what is your idea, or Miss Ledis, what kind of beautiful style do you want to convey?" The head of the Chamber of Commerce thought about the words and asked the young lady cautiously.The current headquarters of the Aoni Chamber of Commerce is far away in the west. As a branch, this side is already weak. If he offends this young lady, he may encounter various troubles in the future. This is not what he wants to see.

"Well..." Letis put down the teacup, but her thoughts gradually drifted to her distant roommate, that friend who hardly wore any accessories.

"Perhaps it would be much better to be simple and natural."

The blond lady seemed to have a burst of inspiration, and described a new dressing style to the person in charge of the chamber of commerce in front of her, which was mainly simple and fresh, while the other party took the trouble to understand the whimsy of this lady , and write them down one by one.

"We have a general understanding of Miss Letice's thoughts, but we probably won't be able to publish the first edition until next year."

"No way, even if you find someone to make an appointment, do the preparation work and print it, it won't take so long." Letis was a little puzzled.

"I'm very sorry, because the current printing line is already running at full capacity, and there is really no time to re-adjust and print new products."

"Are you perfunctory? Or treat me like a child?"

Although she restrained her temper when she was in school, when she returned to the place she was familiar with, Letice's eldest lady's temper came up again.Besides, what she said was not unreasonable. With so many printing houses in Aoni, it was a trivial matter to free up hands to print a few magazines.

"I'm sorry, this...how can I explain it to you better? It's really an extraordinary situation at the moment. It's not convenient for me to say it directly. If you ask Patriarch Shelia, he will tell you the reason." The person in charge of the Aoni Chamber of Commerce The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and tried to explain the reason.

Lettice turned to the butler behind her with some doubts, and the latter bent down and whispered in her ear.

"Miss, the Aoni Chamber of Commerce really can't spare a hand at the moment, because the war is about to start."

In the distant Black Rock Principality, the Falcon Kingdom, and the Sanctuary Kingdom, airships passed by from a high altitude, snowflakes of paper fell from the sky, and documents printed with rose patterns declared everywhere.

Under the sky, flags with rose patterns were gradually erected one by one, heading into the distance.

Chapter 110 Seven Time Passes

It has been a year since Verga's split. During this year, the Frost Rose Alliance is not only actively investigating the sudden rise of Clancia, but also extending its tentacles to other countries in Snow Flower Seven. nation.

According to its original prediction, it should have merged Virga at the end of last year, then quickly entered West Wind, blossomed in the center, and wanted to spread around, and then quickly integrated the Seven Snow Kingdoms before Cang Cui attacked.

The plan is really good. Virga and the others have infiltrated very well. After the west wind decayed, some internal forces also turned to them, and several other countries also had large and small problems.

But accidents always come suddenly. The civilian uprising that used to be small and troubled swept through the northern part of West Wind in a short period of time, and then moved to various places, miraculously defeating the legend of West Wind, the Lightning Knights.At this moment, the pillar of West Wind was broken, and Da Xia, which was already on the verge of falling, also fell.Frost Rose, who was planning to go north, was suddenly stuck by Hoplander, and her former enemy, the Hinayue Council, also intervened to prevent her from moving forward easily.

Faced with this situation, the newly established Frost Rose also had a lot of opinions. Some factions began to consider shaking hands with the Young Moon Council and re-forming alliances with other countries to jointly fight against the threat of Green.

But there are also some radicals who don't agree with this point of view, thinking that this is turning back the wheel of history. The reason why they spent a lot of time to establish Frost Rose is to integrate the Seven Snow Kingdoms.Otherwise, what's the difference in the past? I'm still suppressed by the greenery, and I live increasingly in anxiety.

After all, the peace talks faction is only a minority, and most of the factions still agree to continue to implement the previous plan and integrate the Seven Snow Kingdoms. At the same time, they have also begun to launch the dark lines that have been ambushing in other countries for a long time. circulated in other countries.

By examining the rise of Clancia, they also learned to use professionals to spread their own ideas, so that people in other countries can recognize and unite.At the same time, because of the setbacks they encountered before, they also stepped back and transferred some of their rights. As long as other countries join in, they can also enjoy the corresponding rights in the United Frost Rose.

According to what he said, in the future, Frost Rose will no longer be divided by country, but by district. Each district will set up a governor's mansion, and then it will be managed by the central government. , determined by the vote of the residents.The speaker is changed every 6 years and is elected by the parliament.

It is worth mentioning that the votes of each person are not equivalent. This involves a more complicated calculation model. Generally speaking, the more wealth you have, the higher the sequence, the more votes. A sequence 7 may have the same number of votes. than thousands of ordinary citizens.

This is fundamentally different from Clancia. Although Clancia also has elections, it is still dominated by professional bureaucracies as a whole.Each department governs its own scope, competes for entry through examinations, and determines promotion based on performance and political performance.

Although it is not obvious at the beginning, as time goes by, these fundamental differences will inevitably lead to different ideas, and finally form two completely different countries.

In this way, letters and documents with the concept of Frost Rose began to be circulated in the remaining countries of the Snow Flower Seven Kingdoms. The ideas and beautiful scenery in them were loved by the middle-level and powerful figures in many countries.
