Not a Witch

Moreover, this uncle is quite intelligent and calm, and he will be a very good helper in the future.

After dealing with this hidden stronghold, Lorraine Hill continued to head south, and the next stop was the Blue Clothes Province, which is famous for its cotton and cloth. The indigo-dyed cloth in this province has a broad market throughout the southern border, so There are also many workshops.

And according to the information report in 'Dryer Wood' some time ago, there is also a hidden opposition organization here, trying to gain independence under the rule of the empire.

It's time to get in touch.

Chapter 160 Four Moonlight Cloth and Dress

Just as Lorraine Hill was heading south, Xia Lanluote, who was far away in the middle of the empire, also started a new journey.

"Are you going?"

On a hill, Ciaranlotte and Finnis stood together, and in front of them was the little girl Nika who was a bit reluctant.

"Well, I have to go, because there are still things to do." Charlanot bent down and hugged the friend in front of her.

"Lottie is definitely going to do something big." Nika looked at the two people in front of her, and she didn't cry or shed tears.

"Although I don't know much, I can tell that Lottie and Sister Finnis are very powerful, not ordinary people."

"Father told me not to ask too many questions. Everyone has their own secrets. But, I really want to know where Sister Lottie is going."

"I heard that when Dad rescued you before, he was being hunted down by the soldiers of the empire. After that, are you going to leave the empire, or are you planning to set off a rebellion like those rebels?"

"I won't escape." Lottie put her chin on Nika's shoulder and said softly, her eyes seemed to be looking far away.

"...Then I understand." After the two separated, Nika looked at the two standing under the blue sky.

"I wish you all can realize your ideas. If, if I can meet again one day, and I grow up at that time, I think I can also help Sister Lottie."

"Why, it's very dangerous. Your father told you too." Lottie thought of the vicissitudes of life man.

"Because Sister Lottie will have a hard time doing this kind of thing, I want to help you share a little bit, who made me your friend. If one day I receive the news that you are gone, I will also be very sad .”

"So, instead of regretting it at that time, it's better to do something that can change." Nika said her thoughts with her hands behind her back.

"It's amazing, Nika. At your age, I didn't think so far." Recalling her childish and innocent self in the past, Lottie smiled bitterly.

"Ah la la, Sister Lottie knows, I'm super powerful, hehe, I'm going to be a great hero in the future." Nika said proudly, pointing her finger at her cheek.

"Hehe, then I'll look forward to it, and look forward to our great hero, Nika, coming to save me, a weak woman." Lottie nodded with a smile.

After that, the two talked a few more words, and finally it was time to leave.

"Then, see you next time." Lottie waved her hand.

A big flaming bird swooped down from the sky, like a burning cloud in the sky, lifted the two people on the ground, and gradually disappeared into the sky with them.

Goodbye, my innocence and cowardice.

Looking at the fiery red sunset at the end of the horizon, Lottie tightly held the small pendant in her palm, which was a holy treasure taken from the family relics.

The crimson gem is assembled into a sphere with countless facets, and a black and red dragon shadow swims slowly in the middle, and the faint fluctuations in it make people feel moved.The looming dragon shadow is even more majestic and powerful than the real dragon.

Like fragments and relics of dragon gods.

Southern Empire · Blue Clothes Province

As a province, the most famous here is naturally its cotton and cloth, and most of them are blue, so it is called the province in blue.In fact, this is also a newly given name in the past hundred years. In the past, this place was called Red Vulture Province, because a long time ago, a large group of original Sequence 4 Red-capped vultures lived here, so it got its name.

It's a pity that with the expansion of human beings, this kind of monsters gradually decreased and disappeared, so the name was simply changed later.

Walking in the market in the city, Lorraine Hill looked curiously at the various clothing stores or fabric stores on the street.

Compared with the few clothing stores in other cities, this place is full of flowers, competing for beauty, and there is even a street that is as prosperous as the scenery of the imperial capital.

Aristocrats wearing expensive clothes came and went in twos and threes, just like traveling and appreciating works of art, they went in and out of these shops to admire the exquisite clothes.

The shops here are also different from other cities. Even if you don’t buy anything, you will be charged to enter, just like an exhibition.The nobles also agreed with such a rule.

Spending a little money is not a big deal, but relying on fees can isolate most of the noisy and poor-taste civilians, and it really gives them a better shopping experience.

Walking on the street, you can not only see people from nearby provinces, but also merchants and nobles who come here from thousands of miles to buy clothes.

Perhaps in their eyes, this is not just buying a daily necessities, but choosing a way of life, or temperament and style.

Transparent and clean glass closets can be seen everywhere on the street, whether gorgeous, simple, or luxurious. Clothes of various styles and cultures are hung in the store, attracting passers-by on the street.

"Hello, welcome."

Wearing a light gray coat and boots, Lorraine Hill walked into a shop, and the maid inside immediately greeted her and showed her the way.

"You go this way, go in along, then you can go up to the second and third floors, and then there is a way down on the other side."

This store has three floors, and each floor has hundreds of square meters. It can be said that it is a rare large store.

"Okay, thank you." The girl nodded, and then walked into the shop step by step to watch.

"Is this the guest's fancy? I can introduce it to you."

In front of the girl, a young noble man and woman were standing in front of a transparent glass closet, and a maid in black and white uniform skillfully introduced them.

"The style of this dress is taken from the ancient kingdom of elves. It is white as a whole, light and comfortable, with several layers inside and outside, creating a progressive hazy beauty."

She introduced several pure white off-the-shoulder dresses hanging on the hangers here. The style is retro and simple, with several white silk knots on the shoulders and arms.These knots cover part of the skin while revealing part in the gaps. While maintaining relative restraint and elegance, they also show the charm of the wearer. It is really a rare masterpiece.

The only disadvantage is that it may not be suitable for going out to work, or traveling and fighting.But in that era, the elves were the overlords on the mainland, and after defeating the giant royal court, there were no enemies that could threaten them.

Moreover, the lake and spring water under the World Tree are exceptionally clear, so they don't need to worry about getting dirty or raining, so they can naturally wear such dresses for a long time.

"Do you like it?" the noble young man asked in his lover's ear.

The girl nodded in embarrassment, and turned to look down at the ground.

Seeing his lover's shy look, the young man smiled, then walked forward cheerfully and pointed to one of them.

"That's all, please pack it for me."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The maid bowed back with a smile, and then carefully and seriously took off the dress and decorated it.

Seeing the business that was just completed, Lorraine Hill paid attention to the price again.

12 gold coins.

It's very expensive. Ordinary civilians may have to work for ten years to earn this money, and this is not an extraordinary creation.

After turning around, she saw many other styles of clothes.

Among them are the bewitching black and red court dresses during the period of the True Red Empire, the woven dresses worn by people on remote plateaus, the black and silver morbid beauty popular during the Mercury Dynasty, and the emerald long dresses favored by elves, mostly made of flowers and grass. Famous for leaf ornaments.

In addition to these styles handed down in the past, there are also some types that have emerged in modern times, such as the cool and playful style handed down from the Southern Islands, the elegant skirts from the East, the black and white sacred religious style of the Sanctuary, and the dark witch style popular in Oz , and even a few furs passed down from orcs.

The cloak made of tiger skin has a lifelike tiger head on the shoulders, and the black and white striped fur is draped over the shoulders. With the long scimitar at the waist and the leather skirt, a kind of grassland herdsman's temperament is oncoming.

These beautiful clothes have opened Lorraine Hill's eyes a lot. No wonder Letis often said that the Green Empire is far ahead of other countries in terms of clothing and art.

After shopping around, Lorraine Hill returned to the lobby on the first floor.

"Hi, have you found any clothes you like?" The maid saw the girl stop and asked.

"Most of them are very good, and they are eye-catching." The girl first praised a few words, and then talked about her plan.

"Actually, I am a member of the Chamber of Commerce from other places, and I want to find out if there is any place to cooperate."

"Then what do you plan to do?" The maid briefly looked at the girl. Although the light gray coat was not bright, it was also very finely made and fit very well. It's the kind of person who finds things to cheat.

In addition, Lorraine Hill's appearance also added a lot of points, such a girl, even if she wants money, she doesn't have to be so troublesome.With that in mind, she patiently continued the conversation with Lorraine Hill.

"This is the fabric of our Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if the owner of your shop will be interested." After speaking, Lorraine Hill took out a [Moonlight Cloth] (Silver Grade).

[Moonlight cloth] (Silver grade), this kind of cloth was loved by many nobles in the upper class of the Quicksilver Dynasty in the historical records.It is extra comfortable to wear, does not stick to dust, avoids water and oil, and does not hinder the perception and absorption of mana or magic.Therefore, it has always been a luxury that was in short supply at that time.

This is what she spun by herself in the early years, but now the rabbit ears can also make it.But Crancia is not like the empire. Not only does it have no nobles, but even most of the rich maintain a relatively simple living habit (such is the general environment), so this kind of cloth cannot be sold at a high price.

When she was shopping this time, she came up with some ideas, maybe she could sell some cloth to restore blood.Even the wealthy Carites Chamber of Commerce, if it is used for blood transfusions and purchases and transportation of various supplies for a long time, I am afraid that it will gradually lose its vitality. Generally speaking, it still needs to find some business to do it.

Maybe in the future, the business of drinks, food, extraordinary fruits, etc. can also be arranged?

While various thoughts were running through the girl's mind, the maid carefully inspected the rare fabric. As a staff member of the big store, she was also well-informed and realized the rarity and quality of this fabric.

"This is a very good material. Unfortunately, the store manager is not here today, so I can't make a decision. If possible, can you leave your contact address, and someone will come to discuss with you in detail later." The maid returned the fabric to Lorraine Hill, Bending over to apologize.

"No problem, I will stay for a few more days. If you want to find me, you can come..." She mentioned a famous hotel in the city, and then left the shop.

After that, Lorraine Hill went to several large stores and sent out the same invitation.

------

Two days later, several well-dressed people gathered downstairs of the hotel.

"Hello, are you Miss Messia?"

"It's me." The girl raised her head, looked at the people in front of her, and then took off her light gray hood, revealing her chestnut hair, tied behind her head with a white bow, and her soft hair fell on her shoulders.

"Why don't we go together, let's go to that coffee shop and talk."

"Well, okay." The staff member looked at the familiar colleagues beside him, and nodded helplessly. It seems that today's competition is indispensable.

After sitting down in the coffee shop, five or six male or female representatives sat at the table and looked at the girl curiously.

Most of them know each other. After all, there are only a few of the top colleagues in Lanyi Province, and they have been familiar with each other for a long time. It is this mysterious girl. I don't know where she is from, and whether she can really mass-produce this kind of fabric.

"Hello, that's how it is. Yesterday, the president looked at the piece of fabric you left behind and was very interested, so he asked me to discuss the future cooperation with you." A refined man pushed the bridge of his nose The gold-rimmed glasses, professional and capable introduction.

"Our store is also in a similar situation. The hostess is very surprised by your goods and is also very interested in you." Another representative of the chamber of commerce spoke immediately. She was wearing a loose dress with a beige base and gold embroidered edges. Very luxurious.

"We are too..." Several other representatives introduced one after another, and then asked about the detailed situation of Lorraine Hill.

"How much of this kind of material can your chamber of commerce supply? According to the estimates of the extraordinary craftsmen in our chamber of commerce, it is not easy to make such high-quality and rare materials, and the raw materials are even more difficult."

As a large province of cotton production, the local area naturally understands it.The material of such cloth must also be supernatural crops.

In fact, they couldn't think of any other nation or region besides the forest elves that could cultivate and grow extraordinary crops on a large scale.

Could it be a mysterious island in the sea?

The Southern Islands can always bring surprises, like a lottery.

"The output of this kind of fabric is really not high, only about 600 pieces a year." In fact, the output of the rabbit ear family is about 1200 pieces, but the girl made a half discount in order not to shock the world too much.

There are a lot of moonshine cotton planted in the Tisilan Mountains, because of the red maple tree, it can grow normally without special gathering of mana.

After listening, the representatives of these chambers of commerce fell silent, not because there were too few and disappointed, but because there were too many and they were shocked.

Silver-level crops have harsh growth conditions, and the yield is often not too high. Many even need more than three years of accumulation before they can bear fruit and output, and they will lose a lot when they are made into fabrics. There can be 100 crops per year. I'm afraid it is the output of a super-large top-level chamber of commerce, and this girl actually said 600 horses. Where did she grow it?They have never heard of such a huge industry before. When did such a giant appear in the clothing industry.
