Not a Witch

There are all kinds of beer barrels and bottles on the street at the moment, and the scent of wheat permeates the air with the wine.

Some beers that have just been taken out of the cellar are still a little cold, which makes travelers from afar excited, and most of them will buy a cup to quench their thirst.

Among them, there are also many caravan owners from other places, touring the small town, tasting them in person, trying to find a good partner for cooperation.

"Let's get out, Margaret."

"Yes, dear."

'Red Top Hat' and 'Makeup Artist' walked out of the carriage arm in arm, like newlyweds, and the blue-haired girl holding the doll also got out of the carriage afterward.

What greeted my eyes was a cheerful scene. Customers in various costumes could be seen on the street. On both sides of the street were neatly decorated and bustling shops. The elderly and children, men and women, walked slowly on the streets of this small town.

The small town in front of me is not crowded, but rather leisurely and peaceful. The population here is not large. Traveling guests walk on the bluestone streets. A small amount of accumulated water after the rain forms small transparent puddles, reflecting the Looking at the sky like a mirror.

Breathing the fresh mountain air, the heat of summer seems to be dispelled from the body.

When the group of them appeared in the small town, they immediately attracted attention.First of all, there is the huge sword with the big door behind the black cow, which makes people feel amazing when you look at it, and then there is the young couple 'Red Top Hat' and 'Makeup Artist', whose clothes are dressed in a distinct green style.

The overall clothes are elegant, while the corners pursue the delicate pattern of elves, which makes people feel the connotation and luxury of its taste.

Finally, when a girl with blue gradient hair stepped out of the carriage, many people were dumbfounded.

As if the stars in the sky fell into the clear lake, there were ripples, which made people amazed and shocked.

There are many foreign guests in the town, most of them are residents of the nearby area, and many of them are tourists going to the holy mountain to visit some local attractions during their travels.

Among them were people from the Green Empire.

As the most powerful empire in the Western Continent, Guotai Min'an has been in strength for nearly a hundred years, and many nobles and rich people will travel by boat to satisfy their increasingly tired aesthetics.

The Cangcui Empire does have the natural and complex artistic style of the elves, as well as the pride and elegance inherited from Cang Yue, but no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will feel tired after admiring it for a long time.As a result, the number of people traveling around gradually increased.

Some of them took large ships or cruise ships to the Southern Islands, or traveled along the coast to the west of the mainland, landed at the seaside port of the sanctuary, and followed the road from west to east to the holy mountain of Karen Riel .

There have always been many travelers like this. After the four of Rosier entered the town, they also saw several travelers with similar clothes and styles on the street.

"Looks like a nice place."

'Red Top Hat' Edward looked at the scene in front of him seemingly simply, and then commented.

"It seems that I can relax these days." 'Makeup artist' Margaret took Edward's hand, walking briskly on the bluestone street like a young newlywed woman who still maintained her innocence and curiosity.

"Don't get lost, Alice." Edward and Margaret walked ahead, whispering about the accessories and beer on the street, and occasionally looking back at their sister.

"No, my lord."

The blue-haired girl was a few steps behind the two, but she was not alone, accompanied by the doll in her arms and the guards beside her.

Her pupils like clear lake water looked curiously at the shops beside the street.

The storefront here seems to be a bit old, and the frame and door edge can be seen where the paint has been worn away, and the carved patterns are now split by old scratches, which are not clear.

However, the glass near the street is still very clean. It can be seen that it should have been scrubbed recently. There are only some tiny corners that are difficult to take care of, and there is still light dust left.

In addition to some common daily necessities, the things sold here are local beer and small but changeable wood carving ornaments.

"Hoot Black Beer, brewed in a 30-year-old winery, will give you a unique experience."

"When the refreshing spring water in the mountains meets the golden wheat in the field, what a wonderful collision will come out. Welcome to Qingquan Lvye Winery."

"The ebony antelope, the red tung carriage, the tower of white maple, and the forest of fantasy. ——Iron box woodcarving shop."

There are no pearls in the sea, no shining gems, no gorgeous gold and silver. Local residents can only use common local trees to carve all kinds of trinkets.

This kind of back-to-basics beauty has attracted many nobles from Green.They are already tired of those shiny things, but they are interested in this kind of small objects with a local and exotic atmosphere.

However, its price is really expensive.

Lorraine Hill looked at the price displayed in the window, and secretly compared it in his heart.These ornaments and small objects are almost catching up with gold and silver jewelry of equal size.

Maybe this is their business strategy. If they sell it too cheap, it will make those rich people feel cheap and unworthy of wearing it on their bodies.

She used to be in Hoplander, but she often heard people say that luxury goods are sold in style, if the price is lowered, the style will not be maintained, and it will become a poor thing that is also used by joint drivers.

Can nobles wear the same things and wear the same things as street drivers?That is naturally impossible, so this price is also the result of screening by both parties.

While the girl was curiously looking at the shops and scenery on the street, some tourists and residents on the street were also looking at this dreamy and light-hearted girl, like a peerless painting.The name of the painting is "Alice in the Old Street".

In fact, at the beginning, Lorraine Hill was also curious why he didn't dress low-key and pretend to be an ordinary local tourist during this mission.

And the person who designed her clothes explained it this way.

"It is not necessary to be low-key and mediocre in every mission. In fact, sometimes it will be more natural to choose a role that suits your personality better, and it will be less easy to be seen through."

"Blindly hiding and concealing, sometimes it will be self-defeating and make people feel uncoordinated."

"It's actually a good choice to play the role of the green nobles who pursue excitement. They don't lack money or time, and they can easily try various interesting things, so they don't have to find reasonable explanations for their series of actions. Because those people themselves like to do unreasonable things."

The four walked and visited the small town on the mountain side. Edward actually bought some trinkets and gave them to Margaret and Alice. During the period, some people wanted to meet and strike up a conversation with Alice. That loyal guard could always stop her in time and prevent strangers from approaching her eldest lady at will.

In this way, a few people walked around the streets of the town, and found a well-decorated restaurant at noon, and went in to eat.

The three sat at the table, and Hei Niu stood behind him. While waiting for the meal, they started a simple conversation.

"This town has a nice view."

"Yes, everything looks very leisurely and peaceful."

"Maybe we have to find a guide to take a good look around. Anyway, I'm tired from walking these days, so let's rest here for a few days."

"Nice idea, dear."

"Where is Alice, are you still used to it?"

"Get used to it, the air here is very fresh."

"That's good. If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell us. After all, you just recovered from an illness some time ago."

"Okay, thank you brother and sister Margaret."

After the four of them ate the local specialty rosin barbecue lunch, they found a quiet hotel and stayed temporarily.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the next few days, several people continued to play in this small town, but still found nothing.

And they also found a local guide.

"I am a poet from a distant country, and I want to write some stories to commemorate this trip. Is there any legend in this small town?"

On a low hillside, Edron said this to the guide beside him, while Margaret and Alice sat on the other side, playing with the ingredients for the picnic.

They were prepared in advance with bread, meat rolls, etc., and two bottles of light beer. The guards stood not far behind.

The guide was dressed in a plain gray singlet with rolled up cuffs, and held a wooden stick in his rough hand for poking weeds.Although the clothes are simple and pale, they are still clean, which is why several people are willing to hire him.

After thinking for a while, he replied, "Master Edward, what you asked is a little unexpected to me. I grew up in this small town, but I don't seem to have heard of any local stories and legends. Even if there are, they are the kind of common lovers." The story of separation and reunion is not uncommon."

"That's it." Edward sighed, seemingly disappointed.

"Then what's new in the town recently? It seems to be very peaceful here."

"What's new, let me think about it. Several chambers of commerce have come to the Oktoberfest in the past few days, and it is said that some of them are from Clancia."

"Oh, go ahead and talk about it."

"Ah, it's like this..." He also began to describe what he had seen and heard at the time, but the few people around him heard that there was nothing worth paying attention to.

"Is there any more?" Edward popped a silver coin out of his fingertips, and it fell into the guide's palm.

It can be seen that the nobleman is a bit tired of the news about the caravan. The guide thought about it and said which family got rich recently, which family had a quarrel, which family's children suddenly became promising, and so on.

It's a pity that these few people were not interested. Gradually, everyone felt that they couldn't ask anything, so they began to have a picnic. The guide and the guards on the side also got two breads and stood aside to eat.

"Is it delicious, Alice." Margaret put a piece of snack into the girl's hand, watching her eat in small bites.

"Delicious, thank you sister."

"Actually, you can call me sister-in-law, so your sister Margaret will be happier, haha." Edward said jokingly.

"Well, my lord, don't tease me." Alice replied, and she was kneeling on the white cloth and eating the bun in her hand.

"Honey, I've always liked Alice very much. It's a blessing to have such a lovely sister." Margaret leaned on Edward's shoulder, uttering sweet words between the newlyweds.

After a few people visited the mountains and fields behind the town, they returned to the hotel where they lived at night.

After the three of them entered the room to rest, Hei Niu walked down the stairs. He didn't hold a sword at the moment, and he looked much easier to get along with than during the day.

The first floor is where everyone eats and drinks. Since these days are festivals, it is also lively at night.

"Bartender, do you have a large glass of spirits? Bring me three glasses." Dabu sat in front of the bar, and Hei Niu began to shout. His voice was so loud that he could almost hear it on the first floor.

"It's coming, just wait a moment."

The bartender replied, settled the bills of the guests in front of him, and then walked quickly. He took out three large glasses from under the table, picked them up one by one, put them under the barrel beside him, turned on the faucet, and the clear liquid The sound of flow sounded in the wine glass.

In the full wine glass, the foam overflowed and wet a little of the table, and a burst of wheat fragrance also wafted away, making the wine aroma on the first floor even more intense.

grumbling-

After three cups, Hei Niu breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that he looked so refreshing, it made other people around him eager to try and want to have a glass of strong wine.

"It's finally refreshing. Drinking those bland things every day has no taste at all. Bartender, let's have another big plate of meat. If you want meat, the portion should be large, you know?"

"I know, just wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen at the back to talk, and..." He made a well-known gesture.

"There are." A few jingling gold and silver coins landed on the old wooden table.

"Good."

When the bartender saw it, he quickly walked towards the back kitchen, and many customers on the first floor also turned their eyes, showing envy, greed, and jealousy in their eyes.

"You, come here." Hei Niu casually pointed to a person next to him.This man seemed to be a bard, and before the Black Bull came, he was telling common vulgar stories, and he was still holding a simple and dilapidated lute in his hand, making out-of-tune tunes from time to time.

"Sing something nice." Hei Niu threw a silver coin over.

The poor poet stretched out his hands and caught the sudden windfall in a panic. It was a bit unbelievable, but he quickly realized it.

He was sitting upright, as if he had turned into a very professional person at this moment.

"What do you want to hear?"
