Not a Witch

"This, how do people evaluate this? It may be an ordinary painting to outsiders, but to the Wenlani family, this painting is a priceless treasure." The housekeeper explained, looking at the burnt corners, and kept Shake your head and sigh.

"Don't dawdle, give me a decision." The brawny men next to him had long since disliked the white-faced butler. In the past, this guy had bullied people in the territory a lot.

"Ahem, about this, I think I need to ask Miss Geweier, after all, this is an inheritance of the Wenlani family." In desperation, the butler had no choice but to think of another way.

Seeing that these people were still in trouble, the voice of relief finally came.

"Let's put this painting aside first."

Lorraine Hill hid under the armor and walked slowly, looking at the half-destroyed picture scroll.

"Yes, my lord." Seeing that it was 'him', these people stood up and answered respectfully.

This hero who saved the city is even stronger than Gu Huasi. They naturally admire him and will not object.

Picking up the booklet next to the table, Lorraine Hill simply flipped through it and estimated its value.

About 300 gold coins. These found things are very fragmented. Even if you want to sell them, it is not an easy task.

Putting down the booklet, he continued to look at the ruins in front of him. Judging by the progress, he estimated that it would take another week to completely clean up.

"My lord, do you think this is reasonable?" The people next to me asked cautiously. In their eyes, this should be a chivalrous knight from a famous family. There is no perfunctory them.

"It's roughly reasonable, but it's hard to realize now." The girl under the helmet shook her head.

"But it's always stored, and it will come in handy in the future. I will continue to trouble you these days."

"No problem, leave it to us." Hearing the adult's praise, these people felt motivated, patted their chests, and agreed.

After that, Lorraine Hill went to walk around the ruins of the castle again, and then returned to the shade of the tree beside him.Gouvath was sitting under a tree with his bandages still in place, and a booklet for learning calligraphy by his hand.

Lorraine Hill is now practicing the natural sequence, which cannot heal the wound instantly and quickly like the angel sequence, but fortunately, it is not difficult to heal slowly with the help of medicine, but it will take more time.

Because he saved Gu Huasi's life and was stronger than him, this bull is naturally willing to be his younger brother and follow 'him' to do things.

"Brother is back, how is it? I'm in charge of it pretty well, haha." The big man showed a rough smile.

"It's very good, but how's your calligraphy learning going?" The girl's eyes under the mask instantly glanced at the booklet, and seeing the slightly new marks on it, she knew that this strong man rarely opened it on weekdays.

"Ahaha, this, this..." Looking at the silent knight in front of him, Gu Huasi shook his head, sweating gradually, and finally had to honestly admit it.

"This is too difficult, I feel sleepy just looking at it, and as soon as I beat my hands, it's really useless to learn this."

Hearing this, the knight shook his head.

"No, I have to learn." 'He' didn't want to explain the reason, because once explained, this naughty guy would definitely find various reasons to escape.

"In three days, I'll come to check your progress, if you don't satisfy me." After the words fell, there was a ray of cold eyes in the mask, which shocked the bull.

"Okay, no problem, boss." Gu Huasi hurriedly lowered his head, expressing that he had listened.

It's really strange. In other words, isn't he a stronger mercenary and adventurer? Why did he become the leader of the rebel army in Viscount Winlani overnight.Not to mention, for killing Viscount Wenlani, she was actually forgiven by her daughter, and recruited An as the captain of the army, in charge of the military personnel in the territory.

What's even more unbelievable is that at an old age, I have to learn to read and pronounce from scratch like those little kids. It's really embarrassing.

However, if it was the request of the life-saving elder brother, then he had no choice but to comply. Who would make himself owe his life, and he was better than himself.

A big fist is really big. This is Guvath's philosophy of life.

Chapter 130 Nine Shocking Changes

As the small city in the southern border gradually recovered, various undercurrents in the empire also slowly flowed.

East Territory, Hongshan Province.

The dark trees are undulating among the mountains, and the soil below is different from other regions. It is a rare crimson red color, which is why it is named Hongshan Province.

In a castle in the mountains, it is now brightly lit, and the mountain road and the castle are full of all kinds of carriages.Today is Earl Anqin's birthday, he invited many friends, and some wealthy businessmen and nobles from around also came to celebrate.

During the banquet, cups of toasts were staggered, and the transparent glasses rippling with different colors under the light.The crisp sound of clinking glasses is so sweet, everything is so comfortable and warm inside this bright castle, there is no sign of winter at all.

The rich and powerful Earl Anqin arranged multiple wind-proof and heat-insulating magic circles for the castle. In the inner hall, you can also see many small charcoal stoves burning quietly, adding heat to the place.

Another dance song was over, and the men and women in the hall took a break. Everyone will raise their glasses together to thank the Earl for his hospitality.

Afterwards, the crowd continued talking and having fun until late at night.

The carriages with lanterns started to leave one by one. The loyal servants escorted the master, boarded the carriage, bid farewell to the castle, and drove slowly down the mountain.

"I'm very sorry, my master is already drunk, so let me say goodbye to you."

At the gate of the castle, the butler pressed his chest with one hand, bowed to apologize, and then let the servants help the master beside him to board the carriage.

Not long after, the carriage also gradually stepped into the cold night, the surroundings were completely dark, and even the slight chirping of insects could be heard in the grass.

The dim yellow lantern roughly reflected the road ahead, and the coachman drove his horse forward slowly on the spacious mountain road. The road here is very good, so there is no need to worry too much.

The butler checked the situation of the owner of the house, Earl Gekouan, and was relieved when he saw that he was just drunk and passed out.

Away from the bustling and noisy castles, the road in the mountains is exceptionally clean, and you can even hear the creaking sound of wheels rolling over small stones.

The rather tired butler also leaned against the sofa, closing his eyes and resting his mind.Anyway, there were two servants in the carriage, so he didn't need to pay attention to it all the time. Besides, there would be nothing wrong with it. He had already walked this road many times with adults.

In a daze, the carriage swayed gently, like a soothing lullaby, making people gradually forget the time.

There was another wheel jump, and the carriage shook. At this time, the butler opened his eyes again, and briefly scanned his surroundings, preparing to continue to close his eyes and rest his mind.

wrong!

He suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that Earl Gekouan, who was resting on the sofa, had disappeared.

"Stop! Stop!" The butler yelled, and then slapped the two servants who were also dozing off, looking anxiously and shocked inside and outside the carriage.

The man he served was gone.

In the dark and cold mountain forest, Earl Gekouan, who had been resting in the carriage, woke up slowly. This middle-aged man, who was a bit fat, had a slightly bulging beer belly, and was wearing a white-backed red-lined noble dress. In the damp and cold red soil mountain forest.

Because the surroundings were a little cold, the nobleman who had fallen asleep due to drunkenness woke up leisurely, scratched the surroundings randomly, and prepared to cover something, but the surroundings were hard gravel, rough branches and soil.

Surprised, this one suddenly woke up.

"Where am I?" As for the steward and the servant, many questions arose in his heart, and then he climbed up slowly and cautiously.

Although it looks a bit potbellied now, this former army commander was dismissed by the new emperor because of standing in the team.

Fortunately, he was born as an earl, with a noble status and deep connections, which saved him from the brutal cleansing of the coup.

But even so, there is no need to think about joining the military in the future, and he can only stay in the countryside of the eastern border, having fun with a group of nobles around him.

Fortunately, the earl's status is still very high. In the east, except for Grand Duke Landsworth, no one can stabilize his head, so he is living well, and his figure is gradually losing shape.

Earl Gekuan stood up carefully in the night, touched his waist with one hand, saw that the sword he was carrying was still there, and felt a little more at ease.

Pulling out the long sword that had not been used for many years, he looked around in the darkness, ready to investigate the situation.

Soon the earl discovered the nobles who had fallen into the same surroundings as him.

That's Viscount Westwellen, and this is Lord Bray...

Compared to him, these people were still asleep, and after a while, they woke up leisurely, and then they were as surprised and nervous as Earl Gekuan.

Small chatter in twos and threes sounded in this mountain, and then everyone woke up. There were 6 of them in total, and they seemed to be returning after attending the banquet.

"Where is this place, does Baron Bray have any idea?" Baron Bray's home is the closest to the castle, in a small town 4 miles away.

"Here, let me take a look." Baron Bray was in his thirties, and his figure was thin. He stood still holding the tree trunk in shock, and looked at the scenery and environment in the distance.

It's a pity that there is no moon now, and the night is so dark and hazy with only the brilliance of the stars that it is difficult for him to distinguish it for a while.

Ten seconds passed in depression and silence. The baron wiped his sweaty brow, but he was still not sure where he was now.

Just when he was about to confess that he was powerless, the sound of birds flying over the leaves came from not far away.

In the darkness, a few leaves fell from the swaying branches, dry and light.

"Good evening, my lords."

At some point, a figure wearing a deacon's uniform appeared in front of everyone. He was straight and well-proportioned, and it was obvious that he had received strict training.

Because of the darkness, the deacon's face was blurred, only the pair of red gloves were so conspicuous and prominent.

Bowing down to salute in an elegant and incomparably standard posture, the black figure then lifted himself up.

"I'm sorry to invite all the adults here in the middle of the night." Through the afterglow of the stars, everyone found that he was wearing a mask. It was a smiling white mask with slightly exaggerated lines to outline the eyes and mouth.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Do you know who we are? If we disappear, the entire eastern region will be turned upside down tomorrow." A nobleman threatened in displeasure.

"Your lords will naturally know after the origin of the following, and I naturally don't understand your identities, so please stay calm."

As he spoke, a few silent winds brushed against the nobleman who spoke, making his ears and neck chill, and he touched his neck in surprise, not knowing when there was an extra bloodstain.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" He backed up a few steps in horror, and barely stopped until he hit the tree behind him.

"My lords should be able to calm down and listen to me now." Even through the mask, the people below could still perceive the weird smile in the darkness.

"Then let's listen to you patiently, hmph." Earl Gekuan waved his sword casually, and the wind brought by the sword cut off a few grass clippings, and a cool smell of grass and tree sap emanated from the air.

"It couldn't be better like this." After speaking, the black figure jumped down from the rock in a flash, and came to everyone in an instant.

"Now, everyone, come with me, and I will take you to meet our new king, who is the object of your allegiance."

"Xin Wang, what joke are you talking about..." Several people were about to taunt and retort, but they suddenly got stuck.

Amidst the swaying of fine vegetation, a group of figures in crimson trench coats appeared beside them silently. These figures in crimson trench coats were like ghosts, walking silently. Although they did not open their mouths, the secret magic power emitted Let several nobles feel chills in their hearts.

There were more than 50 people in red clothes, and none of them was lower than Sequence 6. The cold demonic Sequence magic power, like a delicate blade, slid across the skin, making people tremble with fear.

As the upper-middle-class nobles of the empire, they had a lot of knowledge. Looking at the distinctive style, they thought of the name that was submerged in their memory together.

dark moon of empire

An intelligence and assassination organization directly under the emperor's command, specializing in monitoring the moths and traitors of the empire, and taking revenge on those past enemies.These people are the eyes and blades of the emperor, used to deal with all kinds of private affairs.

At this point, the group of people finally fell silent and followed them in the mountains without saying a word.

Through the long narrow valley, they walked step by step into the depths of the mountain forest.

At some point, an ancient stone staircase buried in grass and dead branches appeared in front of everyone.

It looks like the ruins of a certain old castle in the past, and the broken stone brick steps are faintly visible in the weeds and mud.

Turning upwards along this step, they discovered that the end of it turned out to lead to a cliff.

Among the undulating mountains, this mountain peak protrudes obliquely to one side, forming a natural steep cliff, and this ladder circles upwards just below the side of the cliff.If you look to the side of your feet, you can see the empty scenery at the foot of the mountain.

Despite some worries, the group still climbed up the steps slowly and moved forward step by step.
