Not a Witch

The two first drove into the south corner of Longquan Bay in a carriage, and then walked through a path in the forest, and finally came to a remote beach.

There is a tall white stone dock here, and there are voices coming from it from time to time.

Before stepping out of the carriage, Lorraine Hill changed her hair color again, changing to Lacey's appearance, and then followed Aitexi into it.

The craftsmen were busy up and down in the dock, constantly overhauling and strengthening the parts, and a beautiful white wooden ship was lying quietly in the dock at the moment.

[Bryn Teak Sea Ship] (Excellent Pearl Grade): A sea ship made of Bailan Teak (Pearl Grade), about 72 meters long, with a displacement of 1600 tons, with sufficient cabins for storing food and goods, because it uses extraordinary Material, the hull comes with [Toughness Lv.4] [Lightness Lv.2] [Waves Lv.4] three enchanting effects.

Aitexi, the elf princess, spread out her fairy-like transparent butterfly wings, jumped up lightly, flew to the mast of the sea ship, glanced around, and then landed.

"Master Fang Ying, is this ship finished?"

In front of the elf girl, an old man who was busy directing turned around. He had a gray beard and hair.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness Aitexi. The ship you entrusted me to build is now basically completed, and some decorations are currently being done on the ship. If you are in a hurry, you can launch it immediately."

"Thank you!" Aitexi turned and waved to Lorraine Hill.

Step by step onto the white teak-built sea boat, Lorraine Hill looked curiously at the master shipbuilder.

She vaguely remembered that the old man Angus rescued in the past was also surnamed Fang.Moreover, the eyebrows of the two are still three points similar.

Chapter 5 In the Gentle Sea Breeze

After entering the shipyard constructed by Shiraishi, several people finally saw the big ship prepared by Aitexi for this westward journey.

The hull of the ship is made of white wood, and the overall shape is streamlined. There are three masts distributed along the center line of the ship. The cabin above the deck has three floors. It looks very harmonious and beautiful in proportion.

"It's a beautiful boat." Lorraine Hill couldn't help but comment.

Afterwards, several people came out with the master shipbuilder and sat in a yard next to the shipyard.

After a brief conversation, Lorraine Hill also asked curiously.

"Where did Master Fang Ying come from? I seem to have seen a master shipbuilder surnamed Fang in the Western Continent."

"Oh, can this girl tell me about the specific situation?"

After hearing Lorraine Hill's mention, the gray-bearded old man turned his gaze.

"If you want to talk about my background, I actually come from the distant Nanfeng Continent, which is also a region with developed maritime affairs. However, our family suffered a great change decades ago. Many people were displaced and lost contact with each other."

"So that's how it is." Immediately afterwards, Lorraine Hill also told the old man the name of the man Angus had saved in the past.

"It turned out to be the second uncle. I didn't expect to hear about him." After hearing this, the old man sighed with emotion.

"There are vicissitudes of life, and personnel changes. When I parted with my second uncle that year, he was only in his 30s. He was a handsome man in the clan. I don't want to grow old after all these years."

"The Fang family probably doesn't have many bloodlines now. I'm glad this young lady can tell me this."

"If you have a chance, please send a letter to him or his descendants, saying that I live in a village called 'Nan Pei' in the southeast of Longquan Bay. If you are lucky, the descendants can meet again."

"I'll bring it." Lorraine Hill nodded.

"Then trouble the girl." After speaking, the old man laughed a few times, as if he had unraveled his thoughts for many years, and his brows relaxed a lot.

"Ladies and gentlemen, just wait here for three days, and the ship will be completed and launched after three days."

After speaking, he stood up and walked towards the shipyard again, preparing to check it carefully several times.

------

Five days later, Lorraine Hill, Aitexi and the others finally set sail on the ship, heading for the distant and empty sea.

The white sails are filled with the sea breeze, and the waves beat against the white side of the ship. This beautiful ship sails away from the port in the direction of the wind, and moves forward happily on the sea surface, leaving a long wake.

On the deck of the ship, Ye Ling ran around excitedly with his hands open, like a happy child, and the two little wings behind him were also flapping happily.

"Finally out to sea, hahaha~"

She jumped up from time to time and stepped on the railing of the ship's side deck, jumping up and down with her feet like walking on a single-plank bridge.

Watching this scene, the other people on the boat couldn't help being infected by the joy.

Now the passengers of this white teak ship, besides Lorraine Hill and a group of elves, are 30 familiar sailors that Tianhai Pavilion helped to find.In addition, the sailor that Lorraine Hill saw on the harbor that day was also recruited, because the girl found that this guy's talent was very good.

Skills: [Navigation Knowledge Lv.5] (Excellent): This is an extremely experienced sailor who is familiar with many matters at sea and is a candidate for the captain.

[Steerer Lv.6] (Normal): A very good steerer, you can give him various tasks with confidence.

When Lorraine Hill found this dock worker that day, he really surprised the people around him, especially those who worked with Kabron on weekdays.

They watched with envy that Kabulun was favored by this wealthy young lady. At that time, several people were slightly dissatisfied and wanted to recommend themselves in front of the young girl.It's just that Lorraine Hill refused for a reason that he didn't need too many people.

"Thank you very much Miss Lacey for your appreciation."

After being recruited by the girl, this man who has gone through hardships and twists and turns is very grateful. Now he is nearly 40 years old, and he is not young among sailors. Even if he is a Sequence 4, he has reached the limit of his potential, and there will be no improvement in the future. up.

Now being recruited by this eldest lady can be said to be another turning point in life.

"Then work hard." The girl encouraged a few words, and then asked him to be the second officer and helmsman on the ship.

After leaving Longquan Bay, the White Teak where the girl was on and the fleet of Tianhai Pavilion passed by, heading west all the way, quickly approaching the Pearl Islands.

Standing on the top deck of the ship, Lorraine Hill looked at the bright blue sky and relaxed for a moment.

Now there are still a few days' voyage away from the Pearl Islands. The journey is calm and stable, and everything is going on in an orderly manner.

She moved a wooden chair and sat by the railing on the top of the boat, looking at the blue sea surface reflecting the sun below, in which flashes of water flashed from time to time.

Now looking behind the ship, the outline of the Eastern Continent could no longer be seen, and the field of vision was extremely empty, almost full of blue sea and blue sky.

The sun's light shone warmly on her body, and the blond lady felt a little drowsy for a while.

Or just take a nap here, Lorraine Hill leaned his head in his arms, his body and the wooden chair rose and fell with the waves, the sound of the waves passing by from time to time, like a soothing lullaby, makes people feel Into soft dreamland.

During the nap in the afternoon, the girl saw many childhood memories in the hazy dream.

That is also the scene of taking a boat, but it is not a sea boat, but a duck boat in an amusement park.At that time, she was just a primary school student, playing with her mother in the lake of the amusement park.

Among them are small trains walking on the rails, boats in the lake, intense bumper cars in the hall, a field full of colorful plastic balls and so on.Childhood memories are full of warm colors.

There was another wave of waves beating, the hull of the ship rose and fell during the voyage, and the fresh sound of splashes rang in the girl's ears.She opened her eyes in the fierce sunlight and woke up slowly.

Are you dreaming again? The girl raised her head and looked at the still blue and calm sea.

Maybe it's because I'm homesick.

In the past busyness, I never felt it in various things.Now calm down in the boat, it is inevitable to start to miss the past time.

People are always like this, getting bored after getting along for a long time, and want to separate and go to a distant place to find freedom.But after being free for a long time, I began to miss the warmth and intimacy of home again.

It has been more than ten years since I came to this world without knowing it. Although I spent most of the time sleeping, the time is slowly passing by.

I don't know what happened to those friends in the Western Continent. Is the new country of Crancia on the right path? What about my hut in the maple forest?

I still remember that before she left, she and Keti had planted several fruit trees and plants together, including the dragon fruit that Keti liked, the yellow heart watermelon that she experimented with, and the crystal grape that Yishegelin preferred.

Hope to see those fruits when I go home.At that time, I will call Kitty out of the slumber in the heavens, and everyone will meet again.

The girl leaned against the fence, staring at the undulating sea, and many images appeared in her mind.

Just as she was immersed in these memories and expectations, chirping birdsong came from the air, followed by a burst of cool water droplets falling on the girl.

The orange-yellow Dai Ju was happily flying over the hull of the ship, holding a struggling white-scaled fish in his claws.

Then the big fish with white scales was thrown in front of the girl, and then the guy with wet feathers fell down unconsciously, wanting to squat in Lorraine Hill's arms for a while.

"Go, you stupid bird~"

Lorraine Hill blocked the splashing water droplets with his arms, and angrily rejected the fat guy.

Chapter 6 Gorgeous Alchemy

Crancia, Solander.

It was raining lightly in the sky, and some pedestrians walked by holding black umbrellas on the streets of the city.This new type of rain shelter has been loved by many people since it was manufactured, and its price is not expensive, so many people who work in the capital will buy one.

The brick-red walls were wet with raindrops, the vines between the fence and the gaps between the masonry swayed in the rain, and there was a slightly cool breath in the air.

Since August and September, after the reorganization of Crancia's reserves was completed, the battle line has finally gradually stabilized, and the atmosphere in the capital is now gradually relaxing.Everyone began to believe that this war would eventually end in victory.The result is doomed, but the process is tortuous, and there are still many arduous roads to go.

Now people's tense nerves have eased, and the streets have gradually regained some vitality.

"Have you heard that at the end of this month, a harvest celebration will be held in the capital, so let everyone rest for a while."

"Really, that's really great. I have worked too much overtime recently, and I feel numb."

"Our factory makes metal castings, and orders from the military industry come in like snowflakes. This year, there are three shifts, and the machines in the factory have never stopped."

"Huh, keep going. We are lucky now, after all, the south is bleeding and fighting."

"Well, so I'm not complaining, I just feel too tired."

The two factory employees walked and chatted on the street until they entered different forks and said goodbye to each other.

Compared with the tense and intense first half of the year, in the second half of the year, people have gradually adapted to this wartime life, but under long-term work, some small accidents began to appear.In view of this, the official is also planning to organize everyone to take advantage of the harvest celebration to rest for a few days.

At No. 56 Lanxing Street, a new clothing store officially opened today.

Different from other stores in the past, the clothes in this store have a unique style, and it has attracted many customers since it opened.

The spacious storefront is now full of crowded people, everyone scrambling to see the hanging 'new style' dresses.

Compared with the complicated and inconvenient court dresses of the past, these clothes have been simplified.Simplicity does not mean reducing and cutting corners, but to maintain the original style and quality, use less and comfortable structures, retain its style characteristics, and make it more suitable for current work and life.

This way, even if it's not prom and party, you can still wear beautiful clothes.

'Gorgeous Turn' is the name of this shop. Its signboard seems to be made of alchemy props. Several special metal wires are hung in the copper-colored signboard. After injecting magic power, it emits blue fluorescence. Very attractive.
