Not a Witch

After more than ten minutes, the two of them finished washing and walked into the warm pool. A comfortable feeling came from their feet and legs. At this time, their upper body was still a little cold.

Then the two fell into it, and Nika also showed a look of enjoyment at this time.

"Just now you said that snapping turtle is a monster."

"Well, that's right, Dad discovered it by accident, and then put it here."

"It's an original Sequence 3 fire snapping turtle. It's rather lazy. As long as it's not hungry, it won't run around. If you negotiate with it and feed it, it will heat up and boil the water around it. very convenient."

"It's amazing." Xia Lanluote thought to herself, how did she achieve such a tacit understanding for the first time.

Lying in the warm pool for a while to relax, Xia Lanluote felt that the tiredness and tension that had weighed on her heart had finally dissipated a lot.

Close your eyes and rest in the water for a while.

After taking a bath, the two put on clean light-colored linen clothes, jumped off the rocks, and returned to the camp.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and a smell of food began to spread in the forest.

"Come and eat." Someone beckoned, and Nika happily jumped up to respond and brought Lottie over.

"Have some, freshly cooked hot soup." An old woman brought Tao Wan, the fish soup in it was accompanied by a little vegetable, exuding a fragrance.

"Thank you." Xia Lanluo thought to herself, and she owed a lot of favors.

Sitting by the fire, drinking fish soup, eating a few pieces of fish meat, and then putting a few pieces of baked wheat cakes into his mouth, the freshly baked soft and browned food made Xia Lanluote feel that it was better than many big meals eat.

"I'm sorry, the food is not rich now, and everyone can only eat half full." After eating a small piece of noodles, the uncle came over and explained briefly. He still had unfinished fish soup in his hand. Very bland, no meat.

"It's nothing, I'm very satisfied to be alive." Shalanlot shook her head.

After that, I finally asked curiously about their origins.

"This is very complicated to say." The uncle looked at the bright yellow bonfire, added some firewood, and then slowly said.

"Perhaps many outsiders think that we are some kind of rebel army, revolutionary army, etc., but in fact this is not the case."

"It's just that in the original territory, life couldn't go on, so everyone escaped and huddled together to keep warm."

"But in order to deal with chasing soldiers and possible attacks, we also had to learn to arm ourselves, so we slowly came into contact with the real rebel army, and this was the relationship."

"Now you insist that we are against the empire, and that is undeniable, because our behavior is indeed breaking away from the laws of the empire."

"Miss Lottie is being chased by those soldiers, so she should be able to understand."

"Yeah." Charlanot closed the curtain and lowered her head.

Afterwards, the two chatted about the living conditions here, and the uncle introduced them one by one with great interest.

"Although I am often worried, I have to say that since I opened up a camp in this mountain forest, it is indeed a happy thing."

"I don't have to worry about those tax officials knocking on the door, soldiers blackmailing me, and noble lords disturbing me. Everyone lives a simple and harmonious life. I feel much younger, haha."

"Originally, there were quite a few monsters in the mountains. Although we have dealt with some of them, we generally just drive away the rest, not kill them."

"Why?" Xia Lanluo asked curiously. In her heart, monsters are all destroyers.

"There are many reasons. For example, if it is safe without monsters, it will become an ideal fiefdom in the hearts of the nobles, and then drive us away."

"In addition, some of our needs also need to be fulfilled by monsters, such as the big snapping turtle that boiled water in the place where you took a bath just now."

"Others are the stomping elephants that help us cut stones, the colorful feather tits that will warn us if a large number of outsiders enter the mountain, and the dead branch deer that occasionally lends a hand depending on the mood."

"These monsters are very smart, which means that they can try to communicate with each other simply. Although there are many failures, they still find a few people who are easy to get along with."

"Warcraft also need us, for example, they have no hands, it is difficult to build a comfortable nest, and there are parasites on their bodies, combing their hair and so on. Occasionally they also like the food we feed and are willing to do something for it. exchange."

"That's how we, outsiders who lack food and clothing, managed to live in this remote mountain isolated from the world." After finishing speaking, the uncle sighed again.

"What about in the future, won't you go out?" Xia Lanluote seemed to be looking forward to it while she was curious.

It seems that as long as you stay in this isolated place, you can live a stable life away from the hatred and disputes in the past.

"Maybe I will go out occasionally to have a look, but most of the time I won't go out." The uncle briefly stated.

"I feel that the state of the empire is very wrong. Although the nobles are still so powerful and cannot be defeated, there is always a feeling that they can't see the future." The uncle sighed briefly, and added a few more sticks of firewood to the bonfire.

"By the way, I haven't said what I used to do."

"Actually, there's nothing outstanding about it. It's just guarding the door for the noble lord."

"It stands to reason that such a position can make you look familiar in front of big shots every day, so it shouldn't be bad, but in fact, uh, the reality is a bit cruel, it is not important in the eyes of others."

"I don't think you are important just because I see you every day. After all, I'm just a gatekeeper, so it's not worth paying attention to."

"However, thanks to seeing more important people, I can gradually understand."

"It's not a place for a small person like me to live."

"Actually, I have read a lot of books in my spare time, knowing the creation and history of the empire."

"The aristocratic system has continued since the era of the True Red Empire, and the 'Red Prince' Yalin has continued to improve on this basis, setting up detailed grades and a military merit system."

"I understand that he did this to deal with the country's early difficulties, to arouse people's desires with noble ranks, and to help the empire unify the continent step by step."

"I have to say that this method was really useful in the early days, and it also contributed to the prosperity of the empire in the early hundreds of years. It gradually grew and annexed countries one by one."

"The royal family of the empire with the blessing of the twins, the two emperors are mirrors of each other, so as to ensure that the level of governance will not be too bad, and the power will be generally stable at the worst, and will not suddenly go crazy or be too paranoid."

"Originally all the scripts have been written, but who would have thought that the development of future generations will far exceed the background of the original design."

"The empire's territory is indeed getting bigger and bigger, and the fair military merit system has indeed gradually integrated the newly joined nations into the same system, and the royal family has both human and elf noble blood, which has also made many people yearn for new life. Willingly draw close to it."

"Even in such a strong and upward situation, it has finally gradually reached the end of the peak."

"The time of peace is getting longer and the population is increasing. The big nobles began to absorb the small nobles, and finally reached the current situation where conflicts are everywhere."

"You asked me how to solve it, sorry, I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't hide here, haha." The uncle smiled, but there was a bit of disappointment in that smile.

"But, didn't you also open up a new way of life?" Charlanot encouraged slightly.

"It's wonderful to be able to live in peace with Warcraft and benefit from each other."

"It's not like that." The uncle sighed, resting his hands on the back of his head and looking at the sky.

"It's just an escape."

"It's like blindfolding yourself and not seeing certain things. The mountains and forests we can live in will eventually usher in that day just like the empire."

"When there are more and more people, when the resources are gradually exhausted, and when the time is too long, it can no longer hide its own existence."

"The trial will eventually come."

"Cross the past and usher in a new life."

"If you can't get over it, you will just fall, and like the current empire, it will collapse step by step."

"Are you saying that the nobles are very bad? That's not true. I have also seen very kind and wise nobles. They have a good family tradition."

"But so what if there were such people."

"The tide of the times is rising step by step and beating continuously. The conscience of this small group of people alone cannot solve the problem."

"I have learned a lot from the history of Clancia, and I have gradually seen through the current empire."

"However, even the most intelligent and wise men have to submit to the king. Wisdom and insight are empty, and if you can't realize it, it's just empty talk. You won't be superior to others just because you know more."

"I have talked with many leaders of uprisings and rebellions, but unfortunately, although they have a passion, they have not been able to explore the right path."

"The empire is not Crancia, and it cannot be defeated and reformed only by the blood of everyone. It must face more severe challenges."

"I'm just a small person. There are not many people who see clearly like me, but why is it still the case? It's just that everyone is in it and can't change it."

"Heroes come from thousands of people, but not everyone can become a hero. The courage, perseverance, luck, wisdom, etc. required for this are so rare and rare..."

"After I failed a few times, I clearly understood that I can only do this. I am not the one chosen by fate, and I don't have that kind of vision and courage."

"I can't see through the fog of history, and I don't understand how to unify all people willingly under the same dream."

"I just hope that when such a character appears, I will still be alive, and I will be able to step forward, stand behind him, and run towards that magnificent ideal future with him."

"Maybe, at that time, even if you can't be called a hero, you can have a clear conscience in the end."

Chapter 150 Six Reburning Dreams After spending a warm night, Cialando gradually integrated into this cozy camp and started a simple and stable life.

"Recently, I need a lot of wood to build a house. Can I trouble Lottie?"

In the morning, after Lottie finished her breakfast, the uncle came over and looked at him touching his head, he seemed a little embarrassed, after all, he asked a girl to help with this kind of work.

But now there are not many extraordinary people in the camp, and most of them have tasks, so Lottie is relatively free now.

"No problem, but I don't know which trees can be used, and I don't know how to deal with them."

"It's simple, let Nika follow you. She has seen us do it before and knows the general process. If there is anything she doesn't understand, she can also ask me."

"Okay." Lottie nodded, and then the uncle found her an axe.

After a while, Nika trotted over and greeted Lottie, and then the two walked towards the side of the forest.

During this period, the little girl was still carrying a basket, picking plants that might be useful along the way, some were acorns, some were wild vegetables, and some were herbs, mushrooms and the like.

"You can't go home empty-handed, it's so embarrassing, hee—" She made a face while answering Lottie's words, and then bounced and walked ahead to lead the way.

The air in the mountains is very fresh, the light green shade and dappled sunlight dotted the undulating stones and the woods, giving people a sense of tranquility and comfort.

The blades of grass at her feet were cutting Lottie's calf, and it was slightly itchy. She swiped her sword from time to time, cutting off some obstacles, and then walked a little easier, while the broken blades of grass were scattered among them, exuding a kind of Herbal sap.

"It's here." Nika stopped after speaking, and then pointed to the cedar tree not far in front of her.

Lottie nodded slightly as she looked at the huge tree that was as thick as the three of them embraced.

She picked up the axe and activated the extraordinary core in her body. The original ordinary axe blade gradually turned into a glow of magic power, and then swung it down heavily, cutting into the depths of the tree with a bang.

"It's too hard, Sister Lottie." Nika looked at the ax stuck in the wood and shook her head.

"This will hurt your hands, and it's not easy to pull out the ax." Then she talked about some tricks.

"Don't use all your strength, about seven or eight parts of your strength is enough, cut more small openings, and then slowly expand."

"Okay." Lottie also felt that this was really not right, so she slowly changed it.

After that, a white circle gradually appeared on the brown-black tree trunk. Lottie kept swinging the axe, gradually expanding the gap, and pieces of chopped wood were scattered around.

"Take a break." Nika came over, wiped Lottie's sweat, and then walked over to look at the circle of gaps.

She brushed her hand over the pale white tree, and felt the rough texture of the wood thorns, mixed with moist water vapor.

Afterwards, under Nika's suggestion, Lottie focused on cutting one side, and finally with a little force, the big tree bent and fell slowly.
