Not a Witch

A mechanical typewriter, with metal and wooden transmission rods and buttons, can type neat ink letters. Although the speed is not fast, it is clearer and better than handwriting.

Silver needle pen, a metal nib made of silver, can draw clean lines in light gray when writing and painting on white paper or coating without ink.Some painters on the street make sketches for the nobles and tourists who come and go in this way to make money.

The invention of these things made Lorraine Hill sigh. Perhaps this is the inevitability of historical development. Some things that appeared during the Renaissance on Earth are slowly becoming popular in the world of Ivar.

After entering the store, the air became cool and comfortable. Seeing several customers coming, the two shop assistants hurried over.

Among them, the young male clerk was wearing a white shirt and a dark green vest. He moved a fan with copper blades to the center, and then turned it by hand, and a slight gust of wind came over.

"Hi ladies, what kind of clothes do you want to see?" Another female shop assistant stepped forward to explain.

"Of course it's to see if there are any clothes that suit us." Lily raised her hand lively, looked around the dazzling array of shops.

"Okay, most of the women's clothing in our store is more comfortable, and some are more formal." Afterwards, the clerk introduced them one by one.

Compared with the previous store, the clothes in this store are much better, and the style is more lively.

"Who made these clothes?" Ledis looked at these clothes and felt a little fond of them.

"Our boss did it."

"Did the store manager actually make it himself?" Ledis was a little surprised. Shouldn't this kind of shop hire a few tailors by itself, or go to other places to buy goods? How much time does it take to make it by yourself.

"This... probably our boss likes it." Recalling the figure of Hu Lai, the clerk explained with a little embarrassment.

"It really suits my taste." Letis touched the material of one of the clothes. Although it is not very expensive, the quality is not bad, and it is not bad to wear it out.

Lorraine Hill also walked among the hangers, looking at the neatly hung dresses, and comparing them with some styles in memory.

Each of these clothes generally has 2-3 colors, which look more comfortable, and there will be a little pattern or lace on some corners, so that it will not look too simple and monotonous, showing a bit of girlishness breath.

Some are close to the modern style in memory, but limited by the types of fabrics at present, its style has not yet reached the level of flourishing flowers in later generations.Speaking of which, the cheapness of clothes still has to wait for the development of the petrochemical industry.

"Lorraine, how about trying this one?"

When Lorraine Hill was still thinking about the material problem, the voices of several companions came and pulled her over.

Kitty was surrounded by several people. At this time, she had already changed into a dress with light blue and white borders. The main color was sea blue, and there was a layer of white at the corners and lining, which was exposed at the bottom of the skirt and the cuffs. , appear three-dimensional and layered.

"Put on this hat again~" Letis picked up a sun visor next to her and put it on for Kitty, and a seaside resort style immediately appeared.

"What do you think of Lorraine? We have also selected a set for you." Several people chirped.

Lorraine Hill looked at Keti, who was sitting on a chair and was well-behaved, letting others dress up, with a smile in his heart.

"Let me see." She didn't agree.

"Dangdang~ This is it." Aliena took out a black and white dress.

This dress is white as a whole, the upper body is slightly closed, the shoulders are slightly raised, the arms are narrowed, and the cuffs are open, and the lower body is also. There is a large black bow at the waist, and the skirt hangs upside down like flowers Open up.Among them, there are black fabric floral decorations on the cuffs and under the skirt, and there are two black streamers hanging from the bow on the side of the skirt, and the white skirt near the bottom is also decorated with small bows.

"It looks more formal. It looks like it's worn at a banquet. Maybe it's a bit inappropriate to wear it on weekdays." Lorraine Hill looked at this girly dress and said in a low voice.

"No, if Lorraine wears this on weekdays, no one will think it's against the law." Bu Mansha explained with a smile.

"Because Lorraine looks like she is 16-17 years old, which is the best age for a girl, and everyone will definitely like it."

How can there be such a compliment, I always feel that something is wrong, I should not keep this appearance for a long time, the girl faintly complained in her heart.

Chapter 250 Seven Bagpipes and Lyres

"Wow, is this a swimsuit?"

After they picked out the clothes they would wear on weekdays and formal occasions, Lily finally found some swimsuits in the corner.

"Are there only so few of them?" Several people looked at them and asked.

The clerk came over and explained: "These are just samples, because there are not many people buying swimsuits, and they are relatively private, so it is not suitable for people to try them on casually, so there are not many here."

"Which style do you like, I will go to the closet at the back and take it out for everyone to choose, but after these clothes are selected, you can only buy them directly, and do not accept returns."

"But if the size is an issue, I can adjust it for a few."

She talked about the store's rules, then walked to the back room.

"That's reasonable, and I don't want to wear something worn by others." Lettice raised her arm and said, putting her finger on her chin.

After that, the clerk took them out one by one according to the requirements of several young ladies, and let them choose.

After they selected their swimsuits, they tried them on in the fitting room, and then asked the clerk to adjust the size before leaving satisfied.

"Haha, I didn't expect Lorraine to be so shy like that. It's really unexpected." Aliena said jokingly, while Lorraine Hill leaned behind Keti and walked at the end of the team.

Huh, as expected, she was still not used to swimsuits. Lorraine Hill's ears were reddish, and she walked slowly while avoiding the eyes of her companions.

After the group bought their clothes, it was almost noon. They first went back to their place to put down their things, ate something, and then sat down for a while.

"Where are you going this afternoon?"

"Ah~" Yeling yawned, expressing that he wanted to sleep in the house and didn't want to go anywhere.And Keti seemed to be infected, and was also a little sleepy.

"I'll stay too." Vimiya said.

The last group of people was divided into three groups, Vimiya, Ye Ling, and Keti rested in the hotel, and the rest went out to continue shopping in the afternoon.

Among them, Letis, Niya, and Bu Mansha are in a group, and Lorraine Hill, Aliena, and Lily are in a group.

"One group of us will go east, and one group will go west. We will meet at the pier by the sea before sunset."

After the agreement was made, the two groups walked in different directions on the street.

A burst of music came from the street.

"This seems very interesting." Lily pointed to the four people performing on the street. They played and played special musical instruments, and wore very distinctive clothes, which attracted many passing tourists.

The lower bodies of these four people were wearing dark wine red leather skirts. Three of them were bare-chested, with cyan tattoos on their arms and chests, and one was wearing a black leather vest with a row of worn brass buttons on it.

All of them are in good health, and some healed scars can be seen.At this time, one of them was beating a leather drum, and the other was blowing a musical instrument made of black wood, which was similar in shape to a trumpet.Another played a piccolo, while the last carried a curious instrument on his shoulders and chest.

The structure of this musical instrument is very rare. There is a black leather bag in the middle, and three trumpet-like tubes are inserted into the leather bag, and the blowing inlet is also a tube inserted into the leather bag. These four are facing different directions on the leather bag. One direction, one front, one side, one rear, the player blows into one of the pipes, and his fingers are pressed on the pipe of one of the horns like pressing a flute pipe.

It is worth mentioning that the outside of these three trumpet-shaped tubes seems to be made by hollowing out the horns of some kind of animal, and it looks like a barbaric and rough style.

As the black wooden trumpet in the middle blew, several other people began to play. The sound was long and ancient, like the afterglow of the tribal era, and like reindeer wandering in the forest, smart and wild.

"It sounds good, what kind of musical instrument is this?" Lily asked.

"This seems to be a bagpipe with bone horns." Aliena guessed. She followed her father through many places since she was a child, and she seemed to have seen it before.

"It should be a characteristic musical instrument in the northern mountains of Virga, where there are a group of peoples living in forests and fields." After recalling for a while, Aliena said slowly.

"It looks like it should be doing publicity." Lorraine Hill looked at the newly opened shop behind them. On the signboard made of logs, the name 'Black Forest Musical Instrument' was stitched together with wooden strips.The characters in it are painted with dark green paint, which is still a little wet.

"Go and have a look, I haven't seen this instrument for a long time." Aliena suggested slightly excitedly.

"En." The girl nodded, and the three of them walked into the shop.

After entering the store, a wood-colored landscape is revealed in the field of vision. The wooden tables and chairs, benches, cabinets, musical instruments, shields, hanging ornaments, etc. are dazzling.

The style of this store is really obvious, Lorraine Hill sighed and turned to watch.

There are not many people in the store, basically they came in out of curiosity, and not many people actually bought it.In fact, this is normal. Although most people like music, very few of them really know how to play it.

"Boss, boss, do you still have the bone-horn bagpipes outside the store?" Alena asked after looking around but not finding what she wanted.

"There are some, but the one is bigger and usually not displayed." The bearded boss walked out of the counter with a beer belly, and then took out a wooden box from behind the side door, revealing a bagpipe packed in straw.

"This is the most interesting." Aliena picked up the large bagpipe under the surprised gaze of the boss, cleaned the mouthpiece, and tried to play, but unfortunately, she couldn't get into tune.

"Hoho, Aliena should stop bragging, it's too embarrassing." Lily covered her mouth and smiled.

"It's up to you." Aliena turned around and rolled her eyes at this good friend who was gloating, and continued to try blowing.

Lorraine Hill squatted down slowly, looking at a musical instrument placed on the counter, its style was very familiar, it was a lyre.

The lyre and harp are so closely related that they are sometimes mistakenly referred to as the same species.But in fact, there are several styles of harps, some of which are placed vertically on the ground and played while sitting, and some are relatively small, like a short bow, which can be carried in one's arms.And this style is also widely spread in the girl's memory, whether it is the Lyra in the astrology, or the famous Harper Alliance in DND, they all adopt this image.

So much so that after coming, the images of the bard and the lyre were bound together and appeared in various games.

She picked it up and touched it lightly, and the soft and moving music sounded.

"This is?" the girl raised her hand and asked.

"That, it's a lyre, does the young lady want it?" The boss looked at the instrument in Lorraine Hill's hand and replied.

"Yeah." The girl nodded.

After Lorraine Hill picked up a musical instrument, Lily also found something interesting. It was a short flute, like a whistle, with a light and agile sound.

"How much is it, boss, let's make it cheaper." After the three of them made their choice, Aliena began to talk about the price.

"This can't be any cheaper. I only sell one or two pieces every day, and I have to pay the store fee, so I can't save it~" the boss said with a smile.

"Hey... alright." Aliena was not such a fussy girl, she boldly took out a few gold coins and paid the money.

Next, a group of people left their musical instruments in this store for the time being, and came back to pick them up later, anyway, this place is not far from where they live.Then the three of them continued to walk towards Zexi.

Chapter 250 The 'porter' in the alley

Aliena, Lorraine Hill, and Lily walked on the street, continuing to browse various stores.

Since this is the former capital, there will be some shops that are not available in small places, such as painting materials stores, porcelain stores, poetry book stores and so on.

They looked from house to house at first, but it was too time-consuming, and then they called interesting shops to visit, and before they knew it, it was 4-5 o'clock in the afternoon. meeting.

"Is this shop selling wine? It's a bit rare." Aliena and Lily stood under a signboard, red, blue and green wine bottles formed the sign, and there was a line of words 'Hibiscus Winery' next to it.

"Go and see."

A few people walked in, Lily and Aliena were full of interest, but Lorraine Hill walked out after looking around, she was not very interested in alcohol or anything like that.

"I'll wait for you outside."

"Uh-huh."

After she finished speaking, she walked out, and the strong sunlight came into view again, causing her to pull the hat on her head slightly, and then walked to the side alley, where it was not exposed to direct sunlight and was more shady and comfortable.

Now they are almost at the seaside, looking from the alley to the far exit on the other side, they can see the faint sea water, the guardrail, and the blue sky.

Because he didn't want to be too noticeable, when he went out today, Lorraine Hill added a light brown coat on the outside. The style was similar to that of a short robe. A hood that can be pulled up when it rains or the sun hits.For the front body, there are no buttons, revealing a part of the white skirt on the inside.

Seeing that Aliena and Lily would not come out for a short time, Lorraine Hill leaned against the wall, raised one foot, and moved and relaxed a little.

"Hey."
