Not a Witch

After preparing his luggage, Lorraine Hill went down the mountain.

Compared with the past, she can fly freely now, and saves the pain of driving and riding.

The quiet black dress on her body swayed quickly in the wind, the blue skirt and ribbon fluttered in the air, and the girl was flying in the sky with a rattan box.

Two birds, one blue and one yellow, also followed behind the girl, flying easily with the help of the airflow brought by Lorraine Hill, looking down at the ground from time to time with agile eyes.

The yellow sea of ​​trees and wilderness in Huiluzhou receded quickly under him, and the scenery of various cities and small towns along the way also came into view.

From the comparison of past experience, the residents and towns in Huilu Island are obviously denser and more dense than Yanyu Island, which shows that it is prosperous and prosperous.

After Lorraine Hill flew westward for a day, a little green gradually appeared in the yellow sea of ​​trees and the wilderness, and at this time she had already crossed a vast area of ​​nearly [-] miles.

When the sky was getting dark, Lorraine Hill also fell from the sky, entered a small town, and found an inn to rest temporarily.

After flying in the daytime and resting in the dark, after three days, the scenery below me is no longer the apricot-yellow sea of ​​trees, the green mountains and rice fields are gradually thinning out, and the distant sky begins to be covered with hazy mountains.

These mountains are shrouded in a faint mist, and there is a light purple in the indigo daisy. On the ground under the feet, the trees are gradually thinning out, and there are only some small lakes and fields.

Another evening, Lorraine Hill slowly descended from the sky, preparing to enter the only town within a radius of tens of miles to rest.

The land under his feet was a bit dry, and there were many barren weeds on the side of the road. Lorraine Hill came to the gate of the town with a rattan box.

Looking up, the word "You Cen" is written in white characters on a black background on the tall bluestone gate.

Chapter 61 Outside Songyan Mountain

The sky was dark, and tall red lanterns were hung above the city gate, bringing some light.

When Lorraine Hill walked to the city gate, several gatekeepers came over. They held red tasseled halberds in their hands, and wore blue and black uniforms with a layer of black and yellow armor on the outside.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Seeing that the girl was not dressed as a local, these people asked with a little vigilance.

"I'm from Huiluzhou, the Burning Sun and Feather Faction." Lorraine Hill took out a bronze medal from his bosom to show his identity.

After these guards carefully verified several times, they reluctantly moved out of the way and let the girl enter the town.

Are the guards so heavily guarded here, the girl thought to herself, and then beckoned the two birds to follow her into the city.

The town is not lively, and there are few pedestrians on the street. Most of the shops on the roadside have been closed, only a few inns and a restaurant are still brightly lit.The alleys around the streets were also pitch black, and it was difficult to see the scene inside, making people uneasy.

After crossing the threshold of the inn, Lorraine Hill walked into an inn. There were still many guests sitting in the lobby, eating and drinking. Compared with the deserted outside world, this place was somewhat popular.

"Are there any rooms?" Lorraine Hill walked to the counter first and asked.

The waiter looked up at the veiled girl, was slightly surprised, and then replied.

"Hello, there are some, and there are still many vacant rooms." There are few people here, so naturally there are many vacant rooms.

After inquiring about the price, Lorraine Hill put a few silver rings on the counter, and then the waiter greeted a companion and took Lorraine Hill upstairs to store the luggage.

Stepping on the wooden boards of the stairs, you can clearly hear your own footsteps, Lorraine Hill looked at it a little curiously.The construction of this inn seems to have cut corners a lot, and the wooden beams are thinner.

After entering the room, the simple bed, table and chairs appeared in the girl's eyes. Although there were no stains or the like, there was a thin layer of dust on the table and chairs, as if no one lived there for some days.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I'll just wipe it off for you." The little girl said shyly, then picked up the cloth at hand and wiped it off.

Lorraine Hill said that he didn't care, as long as the whole thing was clean, it didn't matter if there was a little dust.

After putting down her luggage, the girl opened the window and looked at the street and scenery outside.

"Do people here go to bed so early?" The girl saw that many houses in the town had their lights turned off.

"That's not true, it's just that there are fewer and fewer people here now." Xiaoer explained.

"why?"

"Because it is close to Songyan Mountain and there are many ghosts and ghosts, it is not suitable for ordinary people, so many people have moved away."

"Then before, there should have been a lot of people before, otherwise there wouldn't be so many houses."

"Guest, you are right. There were indeed many people here before, and many foreign merchants would come here to trade goods in Songyan Mountain."

"It's a pity that after the change of the world, demons and ghosts appeared frequently in Songyan Mountain, attacking passers-by, and many people were killed because of this, so the number of people coming became less and less." Xiao Er answered quickly while cleaning the room.

"Okay, do you think it's okay?" Xiao Er asked Lorraine Hill after wiping the seat and sweeping the floor.

"Yes." The girl nodded.

"Okay, then you can rest first. If you want to eat something, you can go to the lobby on the first floor. We are open all night." After finishing speaking, the little girl left the room.

Lorraine Hill put down the luggage, took out some prepared nuts from the box, let the two birds peck them, and then went downstairs to eat something.

Walking down the stairs, the first floor seemed to be more lively than before. Apart from some ordinary-dressed guests, there were also a few people in moon-white clothes. They had long knives hanging from their waists, and their skin was pale. They sat at two tables. , seems to be waiting to be served.

"Have you heard that someone was attacked by a ghost the day before yesterday?" A few men in withered jute ate white steamed buns with pickles and talked about the latest miracles.

"Didn't you hear that Lord State Shepherd sent Xuanbao to suppress it recently? Why are there still?" A man asked, and then took another big bite of the steamed bun.

"That's right, it can't be cleaned up all the time, but this time it doesn't look like a naturally formed ghost, and it wasn't so weird before."

"How to say."

"It is said that a man broke his leg because his horse was knocked on the road, so he had to walk to the next post station by himself, but he didn't arrive until it was dark."

"He saw that he was not far away, only about ten miles away, so he continued on his way in the dark."

"Walking at this time, someone suddenly called his name on the side of the road. He was a little puzzled. Did he meet someone he knew? Maybe he could find someone who went the same way, and there was someone to talk to on the road."

"So I looked around and saw a dark figure in the field by the side of the road, and waved to him."

"Because it was too dark, he couldn't see who that person was, but the voice sounded familiar, so he calmed down and walked over."

"But after walking for a long time, the figure's face was still blurred. He was a little impatient and wanted the other party to come over and take a break. But the other party still called his name, said he was the same as before, and waved to him."

"No way, he continued to walk forward, wanting to see who this person is."

"Finally, when he walked up to him and looked up, there was a sudden chill behind his back, and his heart almost jumped out, because that person's face was exactly the same as his own, and he smiled at him and said, 'I am you.'"

"This person was scared to death and ran away immediately, but the voice seemed to be in his ears all the time, calling his name non-stop."

"In this way, he ran for nearly 10 miles, and when he approached the gate of the city, the voice gradually disappeared."

"Later when he talked about this with the guards, everyone thought he was in a daze, because at that time he ran over alone, and there was no one behind him."

"What's next." The people next to them sounded scared but curious, eager to know the follow-up.

"At first, everyone didn't take it seriously. After being worried for a while, this person continued to live in the town for a few days before suddenly disappearing."

"A few days later, a merchant came over and said that he found a corpse on the way here, dead in a field several miles away from the city. The appearance of his death was also quite strange, as if he became stiff while standing, and then fell down alive. gone."

"It's strange to say that everyone remembered the person before and reported it to the officials. The government sent someone to investigate, and it turned out to be the person before."

"Okay, okay, don't say any more, I won't dare to walk at night after hearing this." One of the strong men wiped the cold sweat from his back, feeling a little scared.

"Xiao Er, bring a jug of wine, and calm down."

"Good."

Lorraine Hill, who was sitting on the sidelines waiting, turned his gaze to the man who was talking about miracles, thinking in his heart.

Is there really such a strange ghost in this world? She has some doubts.You must know that her teacher, Trinasha, is the great witch and consul of the Mercury Dynasty, and also a strong person who specializes in the Necromancer Sequence.

According to her teaching, there are indeed ghosts, dead bodies and other monsters in the world, but I have never seen a ghost with such strange behavior and abilities.

Could it be that this is a specialty of the East? But the Xiangyu School is a big school, and she didn't see such a special ghost recorded in the school's collection of books.

Calling people's names and exchanging identities between life and death involves too many levels. If it is just for killing people, there is no need to be so troublesome.

Just as the girl was analyzing the authenticity of the story, a person at the table said loudly.

"In my opinion, this is the evil spirit raised by the Youji clan, which is specially used to harm people. Someone should be sent to Songyan Mountain to kill all the evil Youji clan."

"Hey, keep your voice down, don't you see there are 'white knives' sitting around there?" A partner next to him tugged on his sleeve.

The man turned his head, looked at the group of people in moon white robes, snorted, and then sat down resentfully.Although he hated these half-human, half-ghost guys, he also knew how powerful these people were, so he stopped talking.

"Guest, you ordered dinner." Xiao Er came over with a tray, and placed three plates, one large, two small, on the table of Lorraine Hill.One dish of stir-fried vegetables, one dish of soaked radish, and one dish of steamed buns.

"Thank you." The girl nodded, then chewed and ate slowly.

Listening to the whispers of other people in the hall, she also gradually understood that there is a group of alien races living in Songyan Mountain. Their skin is extremely white and bluish, and they are good at the power of the nine secluded. They are called the Youji clan.And those who wear moon-white robes and belts with long knives are descendants of the Youji clan mixed with outsiders. They are called half-human, half-ghost by others, nicknamed 'White Sword'.

And Songyan Mountain was the old name of the Ximu Mountains. In ancient times, there used to be a great sect here called Songli Yanluo Palace.

After sorting out some local information, Lorraine Hill also had a general understanding of the situation here.

When she slowly finished eating the minced meat eggplant on the plate, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside the inn, from far to near, and then stopped at the door.

Carrying the cold and wind outside, a group of heavily armed cavalry pushed the door open.

"Shopkeeper, bring me good wine and meat, I'm going to eat here today."

Its momentum was unrestrained and arrogant, a dozen people entered the inn, looked around, scanned once, and the people at the tables near the gate quickly gave up their seats to let these military masters sit down.

"Okay, please wait a moment, the kitchen will be ready soon." Xiao Er wiped off his sweat, nervously and apologetically settling down the dozen or so armored cavalry.

Lorraine Hill also knew the identities of this group of people through the subtle discussions of the surrounding people. They were the 'Black Leopard Riders' under the command of the local state herdsman. Their strength was around 2-3 in the war sequence, and they were indeed elite.

Chapter 62 The Remnant of the Chill

In the Plantagenet Dynasty, the area of ​​a continent was roughly equal to the area of ​​a province in the previous life, and the state shepherd was the highest chief executive of a continent, and he also controlled about 2% of the troops in the continent, which he could flexibly drive and use Deal with a small number of aliens, suppress rebellion, maintain law and order and other miscellaneous tasks.

The other 8% of the troops are in the hands of the captains. They usually take orders directly from the central government, and they also have the meaning of supervising the state shepherds. If the state shepherds or other generals want to drive them, they need the tiger charms given by the court.

However, if the continent is located on the frontier, or the situation in the continent is complicated and difficult, the imperial court will also give the state herd more military power in advance, so that he can control about 4% of the soldiers and horses in the continent at ordinary times to deal with complex and difficult situations. Happening.This is the situation in Xiyouzhou where Lorraine Hill is located.

In the inn, Lorraine Hill was sitting in the corner, with his back to the center of the hall, eating dinner quietly.Although he didn't observe it deliberately, the scene in the inn was easily conveyed to his mind with his keen perception.

The dozens of 'Black Leopard Riders' were sturdy, and there were still traces of dried blood stains on their swords and halberds. It can be seen that they usually did not kill less, no wonder the people here are so afraid.

Just when the group of people sat down and waited for the food, a vegetable dish was served on the two tables where the white-robed man sat. Seeing this, the cavalry leader slapped the tables.

"Damn! I've been waiting here for so long, why did I serve them first?" The sergeant had a thorny beard, and his face was grim when he was angry, which shocked many people around him.

"This, this...Master Jun, you didn't order vegetables. They ordered this first, and it's already ready." Xiao Er was sweating profusely.

"Is it your turn to talk?"

Snapped--

A slap slapped him directly, sending him flying, and even one or two teeth flew out.

Seeing this scene, many guests stopped eating and quickly avoided to leave, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body.The shopkeeper also rushed over from the back kitchen to appease the unruly soldiers.
