Not a Witch

The residents here are different from Fengxi Province, which grows wheat extensively. They seem to eat a little more rice.And at lunch, Lorraine Hill met the girl with light brown skin just now.

"Good afternoon, I worked hard this morning." Lorraine Hill greeted simply.

"Good afternoon, Miss Rezia." There was a large bowl of rice in front of the girl, as well as piles of meat and vegetables.

"It seems to have a good appetite."

"Well, it's rare to have the opportunity to eat so much meat." She answered while eating, and didn't care about any complicated dining etiquette. Of course, Lorraine Hill himself didn't value such unnecessary etiquette.

"Then eat more. Do you usually pretend to be a witch to divination for other people?" Lorraine Hill asked.

"My aunt used to do this job, but now she said that she is getting older and needs to find someone to take over this kind of job, and there are not many girls in the next generation, so she chose me." She chewed quickly Then, he took the time to talk about the things in the caravan.

"All kinds of work in the caravan need fixed people to do it. If someone doesn't do it, someone has to take over. That's probably it."

When Lorraine Hill had just finished a small bowl of rice, the girl had already finished two large bowls of rice and one bowl of vegetables.

"Thank you for the hospitality~" After eating, the girl thanked Lorraine Hill, and then skipped and went for a walk in the mountains.

After seeing the performance of the Lake Caravan, Lorraine Hill asked everyone in his caravan to see what everyone thought, and he could also try to make a few small shows to attract the villagers in the mountains to browse his own goods.

Seeing those members thinking hard and hesitating, Lorraine Hill suddenly felt that his current behavior was very much like the head teacher when he was a child. He asked the students in the class to prepare programs, and after all, he became the person he hated when he was a child.But this is also quite interesting. Lorraine Hill, who is currently in the demon sequence, is not like when he was practicing the angel sequence, and his personality has changed a little.

The next day, Cold Spring Village.

There are more stands in the open area of ​​the village. Today, not only the Lake Chamber of Commerce, but also everyone in the Lagertes Caravan have put together several attractive programs.

On a small platform, a strange girl also walked up the steps. She had short blond hair, wore a blue and white skirt, and held a wooden cross in her hand, while a puppet was walking in the air with a string underneath. and waving arms.

"The opera of the little dolls is presented to you today.

Chapter 40 Middle Needle

The girl who performed the puppet opera was Lorraine Hill. Holding the hanging silk in both hands, she manipulated the delicate puppet in front of the dark curtain, making it make various movements according to the command, and then in the girl's explanation The story goes on and on.

...

"In the end, the girl revived her former companion, and everyone gathered together to celebrate her birthday. Amidst the laughter, she shed tears of happiness."

As the show ended, the watching children and adults applauded with satisfied expressions on their faces.

"Thank you for watching. If you are interested, you can also take a look at the candies we sell." The girl lifted a corner of her skirt, bowed her head slightly, and then stepped back from the stage.

When she reached an empty tent, the girl transformed into Rezia again.

Although it was a performance on a whim, she still made sufficient preparations, and the result was not bad. Compared with performing directly in front of everyone before, this form of dolls separated by a layer seemed to make her more adaptable.

There are some things in life that are fun to try.

Lorraine Hill no longer thought about the nervousness just now, unloaded the props, and held the doll in his arms again.

"Thank you Yixue for your cooperation~"

"One small thing." The puppet said, if outsiders saw it, they might be surprised.Fortunately, Lorraine Hill was alone in this tent.

The two caravans repaired in Cold Spring Village for two days. After selling a small amount of goods, they parted ways and set off again.Lorraine Hill and the others will go further north to Ned County, an area with many mines and the source of the Crancia uprising.

Emenas, Piers College.

The sophomores lined up neatly on the school field, waving their long spears and practicing military spear skills.

Now that the village has just opened, these freshmen who have just entered Qiaodun College have to learn military spear tactics, horseback riding, formation, military discipline, art of war and so on.

As a military academy among the four university levels, these are necessary basic courses.

And on the fortress tower behind the school grounds, a young student was anxiously walking through the corridor. She had short black hair and eyes like emerald jade. The school uniform on her body showed that she was also a second-year freshman.

After showing her student badge to the guards guarding the checkpoint, she entered a corridor inside a fortress and stopped outside an office.After arranging her hair and clothes, she took a deep breath to calm down, then raised her hand and knocked on the hard thick wooden door.

dong dong——

"Please come in."

"Mr. Hood, my name is Jiena, and I just transferred to Qiaodun College this year." The girl introduced herself straight to the point.

"Hello, what's the matter?" A woman wearing glasses at the desk looked up, and she looked intellectually beautiful.

"I want to ask for leave to go home once. My hometown is in the Principality of Black Rock. There are many turmoil happening now, and I am very worried about my family." There was a burst of anxiety and uneasiness in her tone.

"I see, I can give you a long-term vacation, but as a teacher, I also want to remind you. It is not a good choice to go home now, you are very likely to encounter many dangers, and you have just changed the sequence , self-protection is somewhat difficult at present.”

"I understand, thank you teacher for reminding me, but now I can't study at ease even if I stay at school." Jena bowed deeply.

"Since you have made a decision, I will not stop it. Take this certificate carefully. As a student of Emenas, some forces will still have scruples and will not make things difficult for you."

"Thank you teacher." Jena thanked again.

"That's how it is. Go to the central school building and find a docile griffin. Although it's not very docile, it's fine, but with it, you can take a faster ride back to your hometown."

"Yes, Mr. Hood."

After receiving a series of certificates and paperwork for leaving school, Jena turned and left the office.

Looking at the student who disappeared at the end of the corridor, the teacher pushed down his glasses and circled the name on the roster beside him.

"I hope she returns safely."

-

A few days later, Lorraine Hill's convoy entered a wide avenue, and the number of carriages and people on the road gradually increased.

"Miss, this is Ned County." Mira opened the car window, looked at the scenery outside, then turned back and said to Lorraine Hill.

"Is it finally here?" Lorraine Hill looked at the scenery outside the window.

Surrounded by mountains, with ups and downs, as the carriage turned around a hill, a purple-red mountain was exposed in front of my eyes.

A tall hill was dug out, exposing the inner rocky mountain, and the stones in it were dark reddish purple in color.

This place used to be an iron mine, it seems that it has been abandoned for a long time, but due to the ore everywhere, there is not much grass growing in the mountains, so it is still deserted.

There are many mines in Ned County. In the past era of the Westwind Kingdom, a large amount of iron ore and copper mines were produced here. It is a resource-based area in the Luoyan Province.

However, there are not many metallurgical factories in Ned County, and most of them are transported to Red Gravel City for smelting with the help of coal mines transported from other places. At the same time, water wheels can also save a lot of labor.

In the evening, the convoy finally stopped in a city in Ned County. Although it was not the capital of the county, it was quite prosperous because it was close to the south.

The miners who finished work were walking on the street with their mines on their shoulders. They were all in black and ash, talking about what they had earned today. On the road, they occasionally met a few alchemists in windbreakers and robes. There were a few heavy magic wands parked beside some shops on the road. picture.

While sitting in the restaurant, Lorraine Hill asked for a local guide and asked him about the situation in the county.

"Hello, my name is Recia, and I am the heir of the Lagertes Chamber of Commerce. I just brought my caravan here, and I want to know something."

"Hello Miss, feel free to ask." The guide was dressed in coarse cloth, and from his thick arms, he seemed to be a local blacksmith.

"I saw some alchemists on the street, where did they come from?"

"Well, they are actually local mages, but their masters are still from the faction of Luerna. This is a long time ago, that is, before the 'Battle of the Broken Bow', when the Xuehua Seven Kingdoms signed an alliance, some The mages of Lurna came to support some projects in the construction of Zephyr."

"In order to obtain more metals and minerals, many of the mages came to Ned County as technical support, designing structures, assisting in mining, etc. During the period, they also brought some basic golem production techniques to assist Mining."

"It's a pity that this kind of support gradually disappeared after the 'Battle of the Broken Bow', and the relationship between the two parties gradually became colder. Although there was no major conflict, most of Luerna's mages also withdrew. "

"The alchemists you see so far are the descendants of the local alchemist apprentices who once followed them. Although their strength and technology are not as good as Luerna's mages, but fortunately they are more friendly to the people. Today, many structures in mines are built by them. maintenance or design."

"I see." Lorraine Hill nodded, and then asked about the situation in some counties and provinces.

Most of the industries in Ned County are related to ore, and there is little agriculture. Most of them rely on imports from other provinces. The same is true. In the past, Westwind used grain to control and control this remote and important county.

Fortunately, now that Clancia is established, food and other daily necessities are also abundant, and they don't have to live in a tight life like before.

...

"Is it a major event today? Let me think about it. A few giant worms appeared in the front end and destroyed many tunnels. Currently, the officials are looking for someone to hunt and kill these worms. Then there is a place on the east side near the Mountain of Sighs, where there is a Sequence 5 Fortunately, the haunting of monsters has been solved now."

"Oh, how did you solve it?"

"It is said that he is a strong young man. He came from another place two years ago. His strength is very extraordinary. He can kill many monsters with his bare hands." The guide described a man who was not tall but had reddish skin. .

Chapter 41 The City of Mines

Riding a griffin, Jena traveled through the sky and across wild mountains.

The high-altitude airflow quickly carried away the heat from the surface of her body. She wrapped herself tightly in the thick leather jacket, and occasionally some snowflakes fell from the cloakroom.The hands holding the reins were already red from the cold, even wearing gloves still couldn't stop the biting cold wind, only the magic power flowing out of the extraordinary core exuded a slight heat to prevent the fingers and body from being completely frozen.

It's a pity that the heat emitted by this magic power is still a drop in the bucket. Today's Jena is only a War Sequence 2o Wild Wind Swordsman (excellent black iron level). She just switched to a very weak state, not the state at the end of last year.

War Sequence 2o Wild Wind Swordsman, this job title is not powerful and does not have many additional abilities. Of course, the difficulty of advancement is also relatively low. It is generally the choice of mercenaries or extraordinary people in remote areas.The reason why Jena chose this is also because she was influenced by what she learned at home when she was a child.

She originally wanted to make a transition from this, and after studying in school for a period of time, she would choose a supernatural job that she was suitable for and was good at. Unfortunately, she had to interrupt her plan because of an unexpected situation.

After a day and night of flying and traveling thousands of kilometers, with the help of this griffin, she climbed over the barriers of the Mountains of Sighs, and finally saw the scenery of her hometown, the country surrounded by mountains and lakes.

The wings flapped and lifted the fallen leaves in the woods, and the griffin landed slowly.

Jena flipped down from above, took out the prepared food, fed the big guy, and stroked its neck.

"Thanks a lot."

The grey-maned and white-feathered griffin looked at the girl in front of him, pecked at the food that was handed to him, and after eating, he let out a cry, then flew up and disappeared into the sky, and it would return to Emenas on its own.

Rubbing her stiff face, Jena endured her physical exhaustion and walked towards the path in the mountains, towards her hometown.

----

"what?"

After returning to the vicinity of her home, she only saw a locked empty fortress, and her father and several brothers were not there, which made her cry out in surprise.

"Oh, it's Miss Jena, aren't you going to school?" A halberd-wielding guard stationed nearby asked.

"I heard that there was turmoil in Heiyan, so I rushed back."

"So that's the case, but the leader has already taken many brothers to Beacon City to the west, and our long-halberd faction's coalition forces are attacking that place."

"But didn't father say that he wouldn't join a certain faction?" Jena was a little puzzled, she had only been away for less than two months, how could everything have changed.
