Not a Witch

"Sister Luolan, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, peerless~" Ye Ling searched for adjectives to express her happiness.It was as if others appreciated Lorraine Hill was appreciating her, which made her extremely happy.

"Okay...don't say any more." The girl felt a little embarrassed and shook her hair, then lifted it up, and sat in front of the dressing table again.

"Although it looks very beautiful, it is still not as comfortable as ordinary clothes. Maybe this is the price of beauty." The girl sighed slightly.

Not long after, there was a burst of exclamation from outside the room.

"It's a carriage, a flying carriage."

"So beautiful~"

Listening to the sound outside, Lorraine Hill also walked out of the room with several others.

Outside the corridor, in the crimson night of evening, a carriage shrouded in golden gauze came from the sky.The horses are pulled by two flying horses with moiré feet, and their outstretched wings drive the enchanted suspended carriage.

The luxurious carriage slowly stopped in the courtyard, and many disciples from nearby great sects came out to watch curiously.

"Who is this for?"

"Could it be that there are some distinguished guests living nearby? Even the top-ranked Gu Lie won't receive such preferential treatment from the dynasty."

There was a lot of chatter and voices, until the girl with silver hair and golden skirt walked out slowly from the door.

The voice seemed to stop there, and countless eyes focused on this graceful figure, watching her step by step towards the carriage sent by the palace.

After a while, the carriage started slowly, carrying the girl into the sky.

The Banquet of Burning Tails and Transforming Dragons has begun.

Chapter 130 IX Rafting in the Sea of ​​Clouds

Luojing, Yuzhang Mountain.

This mountain is soaring into the clouds, full of jade, standing on the ground like a straight seal, which makes people look up.

In this high mountain surrounded by verdant trees, a long ladder goes up the mountain in a zigzag shape, and the square red-painted ladder fence is faintly visible among the dense trees.At night, there are bright lights on the fence posts to illuminate the road.If viewed from the bottom of the mountain, the path illuminated by these lights is like a ladder to the sky, stepping into the sky step by step.

This time, the top 200 winners of the red building sword fight, together with the bachelors who were shortlisted in the autumn imperial examination, about [-] people, under the arrangement of the spring court, changed into uniform costumes and paraded through the streets on horseback, attracting countless people to watch and cheer.

The swordsmen hung purple embroidered tassels on the long swords around their waists, and the bachelors wore flower and bird embroidered clothes, and rode through the main road of Luojing to circle the city surrounded by the guards.

During the period, countless people came out to watch, and the roads were full of flowers and spices.Some aristocrats or wealthy people would also sit in the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street and look at it carefully. If they thought it was good, they would even ask their servants to send tokens to propose marriage on the spot.

Many swordsmen from poor families may have never been seen and valued by others before, and they lived a poor life, but when they succeed in leaping over the dragon gate, they will become the objects that countless people look forward to and look forward to.Even if you have no family background, you can marry those ladies from aristocratic families who were out of reach in the past, and become the object of admiration for countless people.

And even women will receive favors from many nobles at this time. If they close their eyes, they can also get a good marriage. Compared with ordinary women who marry into noble families, such heroes will get more respect And freedom is no longer limited to living in the backyard.

After the parading team has walked around lively, it is often near dusk, they will rest for a while, and then go to Yuzhang Mountain, ready to climb the mountain to be awarded.

And this is often referred to as climbing the ladder by the world, and it is the most proud and glorious moment in countless people's lives.

The team moved forward step by step, and there were voices of yelling and reading from time to time. It was the spring officials at the front of the team who were reciting the sacrificial oration.

The pine waves swayed, and elites in purple and red costumes stepped up the stairs. Step by step, the bustling city under their feet gradually presented a different scene in their vision, magnificent and brilliant.

Immediately, everyone was full of poetic enthusiasm. During this period, many student swordsmen walked and worked, expressing the joy and heroism in their hearts.

Compared with those talents who needed to climb the mountain, Lorraine Hill rode a horse-drawn cart and came directly to the top of Yuzhang Mountain.

In the circular open space surrounded by white jade railings, the carriage slowly descended, and a pair of light white shoes protruded from the door, stepping lightly on the ground like a white wall, and then following the line of sight upwards, there were snow-white stockings and light gold tulle The hem of the skirt, the white silk lining inside, the gold leaf embroidery on the sleeves, the slender fingers, the delicate collarbone, the strands of silvery hair, the pure and flawless face, and the faintly shining jade stone on the forehead.

Several female officials who had been waiting on the side stepped forward, "Welcome to the arrival of Lord Canary Witch."

Afterwards, these high-ranking female officials in gold embroidery led Lorraine Hill to a side corridor.

Walking beside the fence carved in white jade, and looking down as you look, you can enjoy the beautiful spectacle of the land below that is decorated with lights from thousands of families in Luojing.

However, compared to flying in the night sky on weekdays, the scenery here is a little different.The scenery below seems to be separated by a layer of transparent and clear water, in which the waves are rippling and smudged by the orange lights.

After turning around the palaces and buildings, a large meeting place appeared in front of Lorraine Hill.

The whole is like a large trapezoid built along the mountain, extending down one by one along the mountain, and each large trapezoid has several round tables for entertaining guests.These trapezoidal terraces are all on the edge of the mountain, overlooking the beautiful night view of Luojing and enjoying the beautiful moonlight at the same time.

Although there is no bright moon anymore, the starry sky is still beautiful and fascinating.

In the center of the venue, there are several round tables surrounded by stars and moons. Among them, the top and middle tables are made of amber and jade, like the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although no one was seated at this time, this table must be specially reserved for the Dijun family.

After arriving at the meeting place, Lorraine Hill was first taken to a side terrace by the female officer, where a woman in a golden phoenix costume was already waiting for her.

"This is the current empress, Her Royal Highness Empress Zhaoyue." Official Jin Xiuchun introduced to Lorraine Hill.

"I have seen Her Majesty the Queen." Lorraine Hill nodded as he raised his skirt and performed the court ceremony.

"Don't be so formal."

A soft voice came from above, and Lorraine Hill raised his head and looked slowly.

The Queen Zhaoyue didn't look old in appearance, she was wearing a complicated splendid dress, embroidered with golden and white phoenix birds all over it, and at the corners were gorse flowers blooming on weeping branches.

She sat on the sapphire seat, with layers of phoenix cloud headdresses on her head, and many pearl pendants hung down to adorn it.Although his appearance is not the kind of beauty that makes people amazed, it is also graceful and round, dignified and gorgeous, and naturally has a calm and noble temperament.

"You are Lorraine."

When the girl looked at the queen, the other party was also looking at the girl, and his pupils looked at the flawless and beautiful girl, showing some approval from time to time.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Come and sit down. I've heard a lot of rumors about you recently." The kind queen waved to Lorraine Hill and asked her to sit beside her.

"It's still a while before the Tail Burning Banquet, so let's have a chat."

"En." Lorraine Hill replied softly, and then walked forward slowly, sitting on the jade throne beside the queen.

"How old are you this year? You look very young. When I say young, I don't mean young in appearance, but young in demeanor and temperament."

"Actually, I have also seen many witch goddesses. Although they are not old, but when they meet and talk to them, they can still feel the demeanor that is different from ordinary people. They are either indifferent or willful and willful. It's like another world thousands of miles away."

The queen talked about the past slowly, and didn't seem to care whether Lorraine Hill answered in time.

"I'm actually not very clear about my age, but I haven't been awake for a long time, maybe less than 20 years." Lorraine Hill spoke the truth.

"Do you often fall asleep?"

"Well, sometimes sleepy."

"It's hard work, I know." She took Lorraine Hill's hand and held it gently.

"With power beyond ordinary people, sometimes I feel more responsibility unconsciously."

"Obviously it can be done, but it can't be saved in the end. It's more uncomfortable than having no hope at the beginning."

"Ordinary people can have all kinds of reasonable excuses and reasons to escape, but for us, these are not suitable."

"When it's everyone's sustenance, it's a sin not to."

"People will not be harsh on a drunk on the street, but they will consider the emperor in the framework of a saint. If they are not careful, they will attract all kinds of criticism."

"Because when people are in that position, they don't just live for themselves."

"This is also the reason why many flying immortals and goddesses clearly have power beyond the ordinary world, but they seldom show it in the eyes of everyone."

"Revealing means fame, and fame will in turn bind people's behavior."

The queen talked about her feelings, and seemed to be helping Lorraine Hill analyze the pros and cons.

"Unknowingly said some inexplicable words, I hope you don't take offense. In fact, I rarely see people who can confide in them on weekdays, and I can't help it for a while." The queen turned her head and looked at the person next to her. girl.

"No, in fact, I am very grateful to Your Highness for telling me these things."

"What a good boy. I feel that you are a little different from those goddesses. Maybe it's because you are still young."

"I heard before that you plan to return to Westland after the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival is over?"

"Yes." The girl nodded.

"Is there any missing family members over there?"

"Family...Maybe there are no more, but there are some good friends." Several faces appeared in Lorraine Hill's mind.

"Hey, that's not bad, it's better than being alone."

"After going to the west land, you can come back occasionally to have a look. I look forward to you telling me the story of the west side."

The queen and Lorraine Hill chatted briefly about daily affairs, and occasionally mentioned things about her own childhood. At that time, she was not married into the palace, but lived in the high mountains of Nolan Island.

"The villagers over there will raise a big bird with black and blue feathers. They usually carry people across the canyon and shuttle between the mountains... and the local indigo dyeing technique is very good. I slept with it when I was a child. The beds are all indigo-dyed calico, washable and durable.”

"In ancient times, Nolan Continent belonged to a small country called Youya Country. This country was also passed down from one of the six kingdoms of Blue Bird. There are many high mountains in the country, which are covered with snow all the year round. However, there are some valleys with a mild climate, which can be used to grow fruit trees and food. , raised many children.”

"Among the snow-covered mountains, there is a small river flowing down with snow water. The river is cold and clear. It winds along the valley, and small towns are dotted around it like pearls..."

"Every autumn, the mountains have become cold, and people will work in ugly coats filled with bird down. Although it is not beautiful, but in the mountains at night, the warmth is reassuring."

Listening to the queen talking about the past, time passed slowly.

After a long time, a burst of yelling and noise gradually came from the foot of the mountain, at which time the queen also stopped talking.

"It seems that tonight's talents have arrived." She turned her head to the girl.

"I remember that one of them was a senior from the same school as you, and entered the finals."

"Yes, that is Senior Brother Gu Lie, who is of the same generation in the faction."

"The Xiangyu faction has indeed produced a large number of talents. There are Qingyu Shangxian and other three masters far away, and you, Gu Lie, and Jinhua are nearby. It seems that the inheritance of the incense fairy will not decline easily."

"I'm sure you'll be bored if you sit with me, hehe. I'll ask Xiaoyu to come over and accompany you to the game meeting. When the banquet starts, just come and participate."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Afterwards, the empress gave some instructions to the female officer beside her, and soon she brought a girl dressed in blue and black veil, who was the daughter of King Huainan, Xiao Yubing.

Its appearance is beautiful and charming, its figure is graceful, and it comes with brisk steps.

"Grandma Queen, do you call me?" She was a little happy and acted like a baby in the arms of the Queen.

"Okay, you are not young now, you can't play your temper like you used to."

After briefly educating the granddaughter, the queen introduced the silver-haired girl next to her.

"This is the Golden Sparrow Witch who will be named tonight, Lorraine. She is from the Xiangyu Sect, and she was also the person who solved the disaster in the Ximu Mountains last time."

"I think you're about the same age, so why don't you have some activities together tonight, as Yubing is familiar with the surroundings, so you can take Lorraine around and walk around."
