Not a Witch

Today's conversation with Mrs. Filia made Lorraine Hill feel the sense of time passing.

I feel that I have done a lot of things, but I have also missed a lot of things. Even though I have enough time to achieve some ideas as a witch, those who walk with me may not have such leeway.

In a few decades, many of them will slowly leave, and how should I face it at that time.

Keep making new friends?I always feel that I am not the kind of person who is keen on making friends, maybe I will gradually get used to being alone.

She opened her arms, her body was like a cross, she jumped up on the street, and then fell down lightly, recalling familiar faces in her mind.

Now I understand why Tides, Chrissy, and the others take such good care of themselves.

Maybe witches are also afraid of being alone.

The past of Lagertes came to mind again, recalling it in Lorraine Hill's mind.

In this way, after walking through the long street, she finally stopped in front of the gate of the Carites Chamber of Commerce again.

"Welcome back, miss." The familiar voice sounded in his ears again, Lorraine Hill opened his eyes, looked at the enthusiastic and familiar faces, and suddenly felt a lot warmer in his heart.

"Well, I'm back."

Although everything will be separated, at least for now, she has a group of good friends and many people who love her.

Abandoning the beauty of the present because of the future is only a fool's act.

At least for now, let her spend this peaceful time.

Waved to the staff in the Chamber of Commerce in response, Lorraine Hill walked into the bustling Carites courtyard, and then took small steps to the kitchen that smelled of fireworks.

"Why did Missy come here?" After hearing about it, Chelsea rushed over with two maids.

"If you cook, there will be a lot of oily smoke." Looking at this pretty and delicate girl, she always felt that letting Lorraine Hill cook was a wasteful act.

"It's nothing, in fact, it's just a sudden itchy hand, and I want to make something for everyone to eat." Lorraine Hill said a little coquettishly, this look is really rare, and Chelsea was a little surprised for a while.

"Sister Chelsea also knows. I used to like to cook something by myself in the small yard. In fact, I'm still very good at cooking. Don't worry about that."

Under Lorraine Hill's insistence, Chelsea had no choice but to give up, no longer obstructing the young lady's thoughts.

"In that case, let's help too. I used to work in bars when I was young, and when Angus first established the chamber of commerce, I was in charge of the kitchen for a long time." Chelsea proposed to join in later.

"Ok."

With that said, Lorraine Hill rolled up his sleeves, the clear water flowed between his fingers, the soft flour was stirred and kneaded in the basin, the fresh vegetables were cut quickly under the knife, and the delicious seasonings were also prepared one by one.

And tonight, in the Carites Chamber of Commerce, it was another sleepless and lively night.

Chapter 63 Lorraine Hill with the Lantern

In April, there is a warm sea breeze blowing on the streets of Hoplander, and the soothing sound of waves in the distance can be heard from time to time.

After the night rain, there are still a few traces of water on the street. The gray stone bricks are gradually white and delicate in the sun, and there is a refreshing feeling against the wind.

On the street next to the gate of the Carites Chamber of Commerce, Lorraine Hill was saying goodbye to the people behind him with a rattan box.Today, she is wearing a light white dress with a thin light blue belt around her waist and fine hollow flower decorations on the corners.Beside her was the Eidolon in crisp summer attire.

"Let's send it here. I told everyone yesterday that there is no need to make a big fuss." Looking at Chelsea behind her and a dozen or so acquaintances who passed by, the girl waved her hand, and her light golden hair fluttered from time to time, brushing against the soft cheek.

"Okay, miss." Seeing this, Chelsea also restrained her pace and stood where she was, with her arms around her waist and saluted and said goodbye to everyone.

"See you later, everyone."

Speaking of which, Lorraine Hill took the night spirit beside him, and the two jumped lightly, then rose towards the blue sky, slowly turned into small black spots, and disappeared among the clouds.

Flying in the sky blown by the sea breeze, the two looked down, and the panorama of Hoplander gradually came into view. The orange-red tiled roof, matched with white walls, and rows of houses were arranged in a patchwork order on both sides of the street. The city embraces the ocean in a crescent shape. Sea ships with white sails are docked in the port. Occasionally, a few ironclad ships with black smoke come in and out, bringing some excitement and noise.

"I'm a bit reluctant." Ye Lingfei was beside Lorraine Hill, talking about his thoughts when he left.

"Did you find a good playmate?" Lorraine Hill smiled and looked at the little guy beside him.

"Well, playing games with Lan Lier at Feng Nao's house is very interesting, she knows a lot of fun things." Talking about Lan Lier's little inventions and games, Ye Ling's eyes seemed to appear like little stars.

"But Lan Lier can't accompany you recently, Teacher Fei Liya asked her and Ling Xin to perform with the troupe." The girl talked about the recent arrangement of Teacher Fei Liya.Lan Lier is currently an accompanying alchemist of the Fenghua Opera Troupe, and is responsible for preparing the music alchemy props in the team. Occasionally, she has to learn to perform on stage, and learn how the opera troupe operates when she finds time, but she is busy.

"So, come again next time. In fact, I'm also very curious about Lan Lier's opera troupe, because it's quite interesting." Ye Ling said seriously.

"Well, I'll be back. But for now, let's go home first."

As the two of them rose higher and higher, Hoplander also slowly disappeared from sight. At this time, Lorraine Hill no longer restrained himself, and held Yeling's wrist with one hand. Its own powers concerning wind and atmosphere.

The speed of the two at high altitude is getting faster and faster, and everything in the field of vision begins to blur. They surpass the speed of sound and approach the limit, like flashing meteors, across the clear blue sky, sailing towards the north. The water crossed in an instant.

The earth rotated beneath him, the sun shifted in the sky, and when it almost reached the center, the two finally arrived at the sky above Solander, the capital of Crancia.

The green and light green field exudes a fresh and lively atmosphere in the sun. The fragrance of the grass is accompanied by the fragrance of flowers and grass seeds floating in the wind. When the two of them fall slowly, they can feel the slight itching of dandelions brushing against their calves. .

Stepping lightly on the hillside with the toes, bending some grass blades, a little heat accumulated in the grass at noon spread to the skin of the legs, and some green grasshoppers also ran away from the feet in fright.

The two stood on the hillside of the wilderness outside Solander, looking at the magnificent city of Crancia from a distance, and the towering white city walls came into view.

Compared with the scene in the girl's memory, Solander's scale has now more than doubled. The white city wall is like a castle fortress, piercing into the sky, and occasionally a round tower protrudes from the smooth wall, guarding it like a guard. over the city.

Under the city wall, there are wide avenues that spread out from the city. These avenues are paved with fine stones, which are dry and hot in the sun. Horse-drawn carriages pass through the avenues from time to time, entering and leaving this majestic giant. city.

Surrounding Soland is a big river, named Jinyue River. More than a hundred years ago, West Wind dug a canal that runs through the north and south, making the country prosperous again, and the royal family can also use the canal to collect a lot of taxes. Countless gold flows along this river. The river entered Soland and was stored in the palace of the royal family. Because the river was shaped like a crescent moon and surrounded Soland, everyone finally called it the Golden Moon River, and gradually forgot its past name.

Today, the big river is still prosperous, and long ships bring the goods that weighed down the side of the ship, and they continue to drive into the harbor in the city, unload these wooden boxes, and then take away some other goods that have been prepared, like a long dragon that never stops.

Looking at the noisy and prosperous scenery, Ye Ling couldn't help opening his mouth in surprise.

"It's such a big city, it feels more lively than Titania." Just as she exclaimed, a black steel train roared across the field and entered the city with a long howling sound.

"Welcome to the capital, Solander." Lorraine Hill turned sideways and welcomed Yeling.

Immediately, the two jumped down from the hillside and walked towards this magnificent giant city.

Under the thick city wall, the city gate is as long as a cave, towering and empty. Walking below, you can feel the wind blowing behind you and hear some echoes.Following the enthusiastic crowd, the two walked into the city of Crancia together.

Passing through the city gate, the bustling city scene under direct sunlight crowded into the field of vision of the two of them and filled it up.Light green, bright blue, berry red, orchid roofs of various colors stand on both sides of the street. There are a variety of shops, dressed in different styles. People of different races walk through the street, and enthusiastic hawking can be seen everywhere.

Seasonal fruits, handicrafts, barbecue snacks, weapons, living tools, alchemy creations, etc. from all over Clancia, almost every booth has people stopping to watch.Here, you can find almost all the commodities you can think of. The prosperous and diverse markets attract travelers and businessmen from all over the north and south. They stop here, looking for things they are interested in and things they have never seen before.

Seeing so many pedestrians, Lorraine Hill and Ye Ling also stood a little closer, and the two followed the flow of people onto the street, curiously looking at the things on both sides.

An orc in a short-sleeved leather jacket walked past the two carrying a heavy wooden barrel. His two-meter-high body covered the sun like a hill, and there was a slight smell of sweat.

"Lime, the beer you ordered is here." He came to a tavern and shouted, his voice was like a lion's roar, loud and trembling, making many passers-by's legs weak.

"Okay, I'll be right here."

A response came from the tavern, and soon a thin human man opened the door and came out.

"Let's put it in the back for now. There are many guests who have reserved seats tonight, and I guess it will be used up in one night." He skillfully led the lion-maned orc to the back door of the tavern, and greeted him, as if to say hello. I am used to such a roaring voice.

"Hey, is Uncle Feige here today? Did you bring the orange fruit wine I mentioned before?" A girl with rabbit ears in a black and white vest uniform also came out. bartender and bartender.

"Ah, I'm sorry. That kind of fruit wine is sold out. It seems to be in short supply recently. Many people have made reservations, and they are all full." The lion-maned orc rubbed his head in embarrassment. The sunshine in front of the bunny-eared girl.

"Hey, it's clearly agreed before. Can't Uncle Fige ask the brewery to make more?" Looking up at the strong orc in front of him, the rabbit-eared girl questioned with her hands behind her waist. The pupils, together with the pair of snow-white rabbit ears, are indescribably cute.

"Well, Miss Clerk said that alcohol will be restricted recently, because there are too many people getting drunk, and our winery has also been notified." He turned his head a little embarrassed, and replied defensively.

"Well, it's a rare time when business is good." Knowing that it was useless to complain, the rabbit-eared girl also turned her back, waved her hand, and ignored the lion-maned orc.

"Well, I heard that a batch of ice-brewed grape sake has been shipped from the sanctuary recently, maybe I can ask you about it." Seeing that the rabbit-eared girl was about to leave, the lion-maned orc wanted to keep her, and then Speaking of another idea.

"Hey, really?" Hearing the news, the rabbit-eared girl turned her head again, bouncing up to the lion-maned orc.

"Really." Then the two exchanged again.

Looking at the two people on the side of the street, Ye Ling's eyes revealed a curious look.

"They get along really well, it feels so natural. When I was in school, didn't those orc classmates say that it is difficult to live in human society, and they are bullied and excluded in many places."

"Well, maybe it's different in Crancia." Lorraine Hill shook her finger slightly, and then walked forward with Yeling.

Compared with Titania, who is elegant but leans towards the classical aristocratic style, Solander appears to be more lifelike, and the colors are richer and brighter.

Many storefront plaques beside the street are painted with light-colored paint on dark brown wooden boards, which are very bright and eye-catching.

"Scent of Glass" perfume shop, "Ice and Fire Cube" alchemy shop, "Oriental Fire" restaurant, "Elf Seven Brews" shop specializing in elf drinks, "Northern Wind" fur clothing shop, "Blooming Spike" grain shop , "Bingche" fruit and vegetable shop, and so on.

They are decorated in different styles, with a combination of fantasy and alchemy, which is rare in other parts of the mainland.

Walking in the street, Lorraine Hill and Ye Ling could still see many students in neat uniforms. Some of them took the lunch break to go shopping, or to eat, and talk about things in the academy.In terms of appearance, they also come from different regions. Some are orcs from the north with curved horns or ears, some are residents from the southern coast with brownish hair and slightly different accents, and some are from the end of the desert in the west. Haiya has two small openings on the back of the student uniform, exposing a pair of black and white wings.

Although they originally came from different places, they didn't care about each other's different races or identities when they talked, and they were very harmonious, and occasionally joked and made harmless jokes.

"It feels really good." Seeing this, Ye Ling nodded his head, expressing that it was great.

"Sister Lorraine is amazing, hum."

"Why did you mention my name again?" Walking on the street, Lorraine Hill curiously asked the little guy beside him.

"Of course it's because Sister Lorraine is so good that there is such a beautiful scene." She praised Lorraine Hill, as if she was talking about herself, with an indescribable joy.

"I've known for a long time that Sister Luolan will be very powerful, hehe." Yeling shook his body proudly, and almost stood in the middle of the road and announced loudly.

In this regard, Lorraine Hill smiled and shook his head.

"In fact, it was created by everyone together. There are many things that I can't do alone." She raised her head and looked at the flowing clouds in the sky, the clear and clean sky.

"During the time I was away, everyone continued to move forward in the direction of their dreams."

"But, but, it must be Sister Luolan who deserves the most credit, because with one, everything behind is possible." Ye Ling insisted on his own thoughts.

"Hey, okay, okay, this is up to you." Lorraine Hill walked towards the center of the city with Ye Ling.

Pass through the lively market, walk through the bustling commercial street, and come to the square in the center of Solander. A square monument stands in the square, and there are several soldiers standing upright around it.

Team numbers, hero names, and difficult battles are engraved on the bluish stele, commemorating the people and deeds of those who died in independence, fighting against the Frost Alliance, and resisting the invasion of the empire.

There are bouquets of flowers placed under the memorial stone, which seem to be left by travelers here. Even if Lorraine Hill and Ye Ling approached, scattered pedestrians could be seen stopping again and praying in low voices.

After stopping for a while, Lorraine Hill also bought a bouquet of pale flowers, placed them gently under the stone tablet, and closed his eyes to pray.

After a while, the two slowly left here and walked towards the palace in the north of the square.

Now it is no longer the palace of the West Wind royal family, but has been transformed into the political center of Crancia, where countless people wearing white robes and blue and gold badges come and go. They are officials and affairs officers belonging to the country, assisting Dealing with various matters of this huge country.

"Sister Lorraine, look!"

Ye Ling pointed to the hillside behind the palace, where a white and beautiful statue stood. It was a statue of a girl with three pairs of wings on her back.She is wearing a long dress, her wings are spread out and slightly bent, as if she is shielding the rain from the sky, holding a lantern in one hand, her eyes are looking at the distant sky, while the other hand is raised slightly backwards, her slender fingers are stretched .

Under her body, a group of figurines of different shapes walked forward along the arc of the skirt. The arc of the skirt was like a raised mountain road, leading them to the direction pointed by the bright light.

The images of these villains come from different races, including orcs with long horns, thin humans, winged tribes with wings on their backs, men and women with rabbit ears, and their costumes and the things they hold in their hands also represent different races. Professions, there are scholars in robes and scrolls, warriors in armor with long swords, sailors in nautical caps and sextants, farmers with hoes, and workers with wrenches and shovels. , as well as the elderly, children and so on.Hundreds of small figures gathered on the graceful skirt arc, constantly climbing forward, approaching the front guided by the lantern step by step.
