Not a Witch

The temperature in winter is not high, but there is a little warmth among the fiery red maple leaf branches, and those maple leaves are emitting a slight heat.

"This tree is the child of the flame." Keti said happily, and touched the rough trunk with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Recalling the ability of this red maple tree, there is indeed a way to turn the leaves into flying flames, and the temperature is extremely high, Lorraine Hill also nodded slightly.

The two shook slightly in the air, and Lorraine Hill slowly introduced the facilities in the courtyard below, the small garden behind, the well, the grape trellis, the small warehouse for grain and sundries, the creek in the distance, and so on.

"It's getting late, I have to cook. What would Kitty want to eat today?" Lorraine Hill jumped down from the treetops, his body descending step by step as if walking in the air.

"Is there any fish to eat?" Keti thought for a while before saying, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"Yes. But I have to go a little farther to the river."

The two walked slowly towards the small river in winter, and a thin layer of ice had already formed on the surface of the river.

"Stop fishing today." Stamping his feet slightly, shaking off the snowflakes and dew on it, Lorraine Hill thought about frying the fish, or using the atmosphere to directly stir up the river water and filter it again.

On the other hand, Keti was already squatting by the river. She touched the river surface with her fingers curiously, and then bursts of white smoke rose, and the river water bubbled up.

"No, Kitty, it's not allowed to boil the river, so we won't have any fish to eat in the future." Lorraine Hill crossed his hands and made a prohibitive gesture to Kitty.

"Oh, okay, Lorraine." Keti withdrew her finger, opened her eyes a little aggrieved, and looked at Lorraine.It seems that this flame witch still has a lot of common sense to learn.

Chapter 170 VII Revisiting the Frontier

Maple Leaf Garden, inside the cottage kitchen.

"That's right, that's how to first remove the internal organs of the fish, then remove the scales, wash it, and then apply some salt." Lorraine Hill tied up his sleeves and instructed another red-haired girl beside him.Although Kitty looked plump and mature, her personality was exceptionally pure. When the two were together, Lorraine Hill was more like a sister.

"Then put the fish into the pan, and when it is slightly crispy and browned, turn it over again, and add various seasonings and the like."

...

"...and that's it."

In the kitchen, Lorraine Hill put the fish on the plate, and then poured the soup in the pot, bursts of tempting aromas came out, and the colors matched very well.

Keti blinked her eyes at the braised fish that came out of the pot, and silently memorized the steps. She also wanted to help Lorraine cook, so she has been studying very seriously.

"Let's go, come to the middle hall for dinner." Lorraine Hill took the dishes and walked to the middle spacious hall, where there were tables set up.

And when she walked into the hall, there was already a girl with blond hair and silver eyes sitting here. She was wearing a retro and elegant black dress, with a red butterfly hairpin in her hair.

"Senior Tides." Lorraine looked at the phantom witch in surprise.

"Long time no see, little Lorraine, and Keti." Tidess opened the folding fan in her hand, and tapped lightly, and exquisite candlesticks appeared on the table and around, brightly illuminating the room at night.

"Can I have dinner, little Lorraine~" she said jokingly with one eye slightly closed.

"of course can."

Lorraine Hill asked Keti to sit at the table, and he brought over the follow-up meals, and then the three of them sat at the table to taste and enjoy the dinner.

"Lorland, like Suqin, likes to use chopsticks." Tides said softly, looking at the pair of chopsticks on the table.

"Have you ever been to the East before? The world over there is no smaller than that of the Western Continent, and the customs and customs are very unusual."

"I haven't been there yet." Lorraine Hill shook his head, and his smooth hair swayed slightly.

"You can go and see it in the future. There are also colleges that are not inferior to Emenas. Saints teach under the banyan tree, blue birds and dragons roaming among thousands of mountains and lakes, and various strange cave worlds hidden in the clouds. Those who live a long life and walk on clouds and breathe out fog are called the strange lives of immortals."

"Their lifestyle and customs are completely different from those of the Western Continent," Tides said.

Lorraine Hill nodded, feeling curious about the familiar yet unknown world.

Tides looked at the hairpin next to Lorraine Hill's ear, as if thinking of something, "Little Lorraine has used the hairpin a few times."

"Yes." Lorraine Hill thought that this use could not be stopped, and there was only the last time left.

"I'll give you another gem in a few days. Although it's not as versatile and convenient as Sister Trinasha's hairpin, it should be fine if you save your life." Tides thought.

"Thank you Sister Tides." Now she is being taken care of again, Lorraine Hill thought to herself, fortunately, now that she is gradually understanding the people and things in this world, she will not be as repulsive as she was at the beginning.

"That's good." Seeing that Lorraine Hill didn't refuse, Tides seemed to be in a better mood.

Finally, I can help this junior, so let's slowly establish a relationship like this, so that I will have one more companion in the future.

------

Three days later, Tides put a brand-new pendant on Lorraine Hill, in which there seemed to be a wisp of black mist floating in the smoky crystal, exuding a different kind of beauty.

"It's finished, wear it well, if you encounter an emergency, you can also call me through it, and I will be there when the time comes." Tides said so.

Although Lorraine Hill is already very strong, in the eyes of several other witches, this is still a newborn little guy who needs to be taken care of.

Lorraine nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Tides played with Lorraine Hill for several days before leaving, during which time she also taught Keti a lot of knowledge or skills.

"In fact, these are things that the previous generations of Keti knew, and I just gave them back to her." Tides said, as an ancient witch who experienced the rise and fall of the Mercury Dynasty, she naturally got along with several generations of Keti Pass.

"Then, goodbye little Lorraine, and Kitty." Tides sat on the carriage and waved to the two people below, and then two black unicorns pulled the carriage and flew to the other side of the sky.

"Goodbye." Keti and Lorraine Hill waved their hands to bid farewell to the phantom witch.

The two continued to live in the hut in the forest, and only occasionally went out to buy something in the city of the Rabbit Ears not far away.

On weekdays, Lorraine Hill would read a book or spin cloth in the room, while Kitty would usually sit by the side and watch Lorraine Hill do things.She sometimes went up to help, asking simple and innocent questions, and Lorraine Hill also patiently taught the reborn flame witch.

In this way, until the beginning of spring next year, the weather gradually gets warmer.

After several months of winter, the snow on the ground slowly melted, and the war that had been stopped due to snow water and mud slowly rekindled.In this regard, Crancia also sent new reinforcements to the border with Frost Rose.

"Have you packed up your things? There shouldn't be anything missing."

Lorraine Hill was wearing a brown coat and was carrying a rattan box in his hand. He looked at Kitty's clothes, and then asked.

"It's all ready." Keti raised the things in her hands.

"Well, let's go then."

After speaking, Lorraine Hill took Kitty and flew directly to the south, and their destination was the border city during the war, Green Water Port.

This port is also a prosperous commercial port in Virganne. Although it is not as developed as Hoplander, it has a large population.The headquarters of the Dayas Chamber of Commerce, once the enemy of Carites, was stationed here.

They are shipbuilders of the older generation. They have joined forces with the mages of Frost Rose to design and produce many ironclad ships.It's a pity that in last year's naval battle, although the ironclad ship achieved good results for a while, it was quickly defeated by Carites' new steel battleship.

After the green water port was occupied, the shipyards that belonged to the Dayas Chamber of Commerce were also confiscated, and now the Karites Chamber of Commerce is helping to manage them.

"Miss Lacey, this way please."

Several high-level members of the chamber of commerce in this local branch looked at the young lady respectfully, and then introduced the current situation of the Carites chamber of commerce and the situation in Lushui Port.

"Since we united with Clancia, we have received a large number of official orders for warships. According to your instructions, we have also settled the contract at a more affordable price. Now not only Hoplander, but also Agger, the main production force of Banguo Island Leia-class warships will produce some auxiliary warships even when they are close to the enemy's green water port, in order to prepare for the next big battle."

"According to our calculations, if the Starlight Alliance wants to continue to increase its troops, it must ensure sea control, so that various supplies can be continuously transported from the sea to the front line."

"How about our production capacity, can we deliver orders before June this year?"

"Back to Miss, at present we have produced 5 Aglaia-class warships and have launched 1 ships, 4 ship sank before, and [-] ships are currently in service."

"And by June, it is estimated that there will be 6 ships in the water, but this is our limit. For this reason, all other shipbuilding orders have been returned, and the cultivation of craftsmen and skilled alchemists will take a lot of time."

"What about the transport ship? It's also a ship used to transport food and supplies." Looking at the busy scene in the shipyard, Lorraine Hill asked a few people around him.

"These are easy to solve. Many merchant ships can be temporarily converted into transport ships before, and there are also a lot of materials for building iron-clad ships in Lushui Port, which are just for use."

"That's fine."

Looking at the busy workers in sight, Lorraine Hill suddenly asked curiously.

"Are they from our Chamber of Commerce, or from the Dayas Chamber of Commerce?"

Several people glanced at each other, and then answered. "It used to be the Dayas Chamber of Commerce, but now it has joined us in Carites. After all, our welfare benefits are better here, and we also have perfect personal protection."

"Personal protection?" Lorraine Hill turned his head.

"Yes, in order to produce finished products as soon as possible, Frost Rose oppressed these craftsmen very hard, and the executives of the Dayas Chamber of Commerce also wanted to take the opportunity to please the mages, so the means of supervision are relatively strong..." Several people considered their vocabulary , I don't want to say it is too bloody and cruel, after all, in their eyes, this young lady is still young, and she is so lovable.

"Okay, I probably know."

The girl shook her head slightly. It is almost inevitable that a flesh and blood factory would emerge in such a country with unequal rights. Who cares about these ordinary people at the bottom who cannot resist.

But she really didn't want to see and hear such a scene anymore.

Chapter 170 Eight Night Fire Battle Song

Ubere, the former capital of Virgar.

thump-thump-

In the silent night, suddenly, urgent and tense bells rang everywhere in the city, voices of shouts, passing figures, dense clashes of armor and weapons sounded on the street, and bright lights also appeared on the streets. The city lights up, sweeping back and forth continuously, illuminating the sky.

"Hurry up!"

Under the urging of the officer, soldiers and mages in windbreakers boarded the airship from the steps.

Under the dark night sky, iron-gray airships rose slowly under command. There were small orange-red lights on the deck and edges of the airships, which flashed and flashed. According to the instructions of the dispatcher on the ground, they were gradually arranged and staggered.

And as these hundreds of airships gradually lifted into the sky, the distant scene gradually appeared in their field of vision.

In the night sky with dark clouds flowing, a strange giant dragon with only metal scales flew in the sky, making a soul-stirring roar.

These giant dragons have no wings, and their bodies are like snakes, but compared to snakes, their appearance is too mighty and ferocious.The scale armor on his body is like steel, each piece is nearly one meter in diameter, covering the body, and there are sharp barb-like thorns on the scale armor, shining dangerous and sharp light, which makes people feel chills.

They have no hind legs, only a pair of small front claws, and those front claws are as sharp and hard as the scales on their bodies.

"Dragon Sequence 7 Tyrannical Armored Dragon, it seems that the Young Moon Council has brought out the elite from the bottom of the box." An old mage stood on the airship, looking at the ever-approaching air overlord in the distance.

Compared with those creatures that rely on wings to fly, the reason why these giant dragons can fly is that they rely on the strange scales, which have similar anti-gravity lines inside, allowing them to swim in the air, just like in water .

After abandoning such fragile parts as wings, these giant dragons can fly more quickly, and their strong bodies are enough to tear apart any enemies in the sky.It can be said to be the perfect combination of speed, strength and defense.

"It's worthy of the pursuit of a powerful dragon sequence with no dead ends, and its shape is almost perfect." He couldn't help but sigh.

"But such life does not exist in nature, but is cultivated by another branch of the magic sequence." Another high-ranking mage approached the edge of the deck of the airship, looking at the ferocious dragon that chose to eat people.

"They had a lot of contact with the Eastern dynasty, and naturally learned a lot of knowledge and inheritance of the Dragon Sequence."

"But creatures are creatures after all, not as reliable as machines and tools, and we outnumber each other by far."

"Fire!"
