She Is Not a Witch

The wind blows up the sails, and the mast makes a slight creaking sound, and the ship heaves and falls in the waves from time to time.

In the quiet cabin, Lorraine Hill was wearing pajamas, sitting on the bed, and slowly flipping through the booklet in his hand. This is the House Newspaper of the Plantagenet Dynasty. It was printed by the organization under the Chun lawsuit and distributed to all states and counties to inform the court. some of the big things.

Compared to the Western Continent where wars and changes are in full swing, the East is a little more stable. Among the major events in recent years, the more important ones are several natural disasters, such as the cold disaster that swept across the northern hemisphere a few years ago, and droughts and floods in various states .

Although some losses were caused, they were smoothed out one by one under the power accumulated by the Plantagenet Dynasty for many years, and did not cause too much turmoil.

In terms of society, due to the industrialization of the Western Continent, some alchemy-making machines were introduced to some coastal areas and absorbed by the locals, but the current scale is not large and has not spread to the central part.

In terms of more details, Lorraine Hill didn't know, after all, the Dibao only reported a general idea, and many of the contents were inferred by the girl from the minutiae.

She put down the booklet in her hand, and looked at the round window on the side of the cabin. The sky outside was a bit gloomy, and there was light rain. The tide and waves beat against the hull from time to time, and there was a sound.

These weathers have lasted for several days, and the girl can even smell the slightly musty damp smell in the cabin. Every morning and at night, she can still hear the sound of the crew scooping up water, probably twice a day. Move any water that has infiltrated the cabin out of the boat.

After that, the sporadic rain outside slowly stopped, and Lorraine Hill also took off her pajamas, put on a clean Yuebai skirt, and walked out of the room.

Lanterns have been lit in the corridor of the cabin. The four-cornered palace lantern made of special materials has a big candle burning inside, illuminating the slightly dim interior of the cabin.

The treasure ship that Lorraine Hill was on was built by Haigongfang, a subsidiary of the government of the dynasty. It is about 160 meters long and eight stories high. It is strong and airtight.

In this fleet, the core is these seven large treasure ships, and the other sixteen are long sailing ships, each about 80 meters long, carrying a large amount of cargo and food.

In ocean voyages, large ships are more resistant to wind and waves and are more stable, so the ships traveling between the east and west continents will not be small. A few days before going to sea, Lorraine Hill had seen the iron-clad ships of the Western Continent from a distance on the route, which was slightly smaller than the treasure ship he was on today.

According to the captain, although there are many such iron-clad ships in the Western Continent, they are very rare in the endless seas, and they seldom go on ocean voyages. This is because the hulls are very heavy, and it is difficult to rely on sails to move forward, and the consumption of coal is huge. The mainland is very cheap.

There are still a few vortexes left in the endless sea, and there are few supply places, and those islands can provide some fresh water and food. It is impossible to supply a large amount of coal, and carrying it by yourself will occupy a lot of cargo space. There is less money to be made by traveling, so there are still mostly sailing ships at sea.

Passing through the long corridor, the girl could hear sounds from some rooms, some were the sound of sleeping, and there was the sound of cooking not far away. There was a dining place, and the crew would take turns to eat.

"Hello, Your Royal Highness." Walking on the road, several sergeants in scale armor greeted the girl.

They are the guards on the ship, they are not weak, and they are also officials of the government, which is different from ordinary crew members.

"You are here to eat." The girl nodded in response.

"Yes, I'm making red shrimp bibimbap tonight. It tastes very good. You can try it, Your Highness." Several people talked about the dishes for tonight, and recommended them to the girl.

There are more than 300 members on a large treasure ship, and they actually consume a lot of food every day, and this kind of big ship has a little more tricks. For some ordinary sea ships, it is good to have some vegetables in the soup that's it.

"thank you, I know now."

Afterwards, Lorraine Hill took a look at the restaurant as he passed by, but did not go in, but went directly to the upper floor. She is not hungry now, and there are quite a lot of people in the restaurant, so she wants to go there later when there are fewer people.

When I came to the hall where the captain was, I could see the captain in black armor talking to the people around him.

"Probably we will arrive at the triple vortex sea area tonight, don't fall asleep when it's time, send a few more people to watch the night."

"Yes, my lord. Don't worry, we are all veterans, and we have traveled this way many times."

"I know, otherwise I would have come to watch the night." The captain waved his hand, and then added.

"It's almost time to reach the Pearl Islands. Let's work hard for a few days, and then I'll let you relax."

"Understood, my lord."

After several people explained some things, the captain was reminded by others that Lorraine Hill was coming.

He waved the people around him to step back, and then walked over quickly.

"Your Highness, you are here."

Although he is the captain of this fleet, he is not a little bit different from the witch who was appointed by the dynasty. What's more, the aura of this highness witch is unpredictable, which is far from being able to match anyone on the fleet.

"Well, it's okay." The girl shook her head first, and then asked about the matter just now.

"Is the Pearl Islands coming soon?"

"Yes, it will probably arrive the day after tomorrow. At present, we still have to pass through the three vortex sea areas, which is a relatively complicated sea area in front of the Pearl Islands. There are one large and two small vortex distributions in it, and sea ships need to follow a specific route."

"Understood, there is nothing else, you can go to your own business first."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After that, Lorraine Hill boarded the cabin's bottom deck from the side steps, stood by the railing and looked at the distant sea, watching the sky gradually turning into lavender.

"It's getting dark."

She turned around and leaned lightly on the railing, letting the wind blow her clothes, feeling the coolness of the approaching night.

The black hair brushed against the cheeks, bringing a little itchy feeling, and the sail above the head squeaked from time to time, and the slightly depressed mood in the cabin before became cheerful and comfortable.

‘Come out and blow some air, it really feels much more comfortable. '

Lorraine Hill, who was in a much better mood, opened his eyes again, then raised his fingers, looking at the distant sky between his fingers.

'I don't know how the people over there are now. At that time, I said that I would go back in ten years. It has been more than ten years now. ’ Lorraine Hill recalled pictures of the past in his mind.

Among them are the scenes of walking out of the deep mountains ignorantly and walking through Leixia Lake, and there are also the scenes of traveling alone, passing through Yanyu Island and over the Suiyan Mountains, and the past of practicing in the Xiangyu School and then going to the Ximu Mountains.

The Eastern Continent has very different customs and customs from the Western Continent. Even the name of the Transcendent Sequence is different. The cultures of various ethnic groups and states are also different. The history of the Plantagenet Dynasty is actually slightly shorter than that of the Green Empire. In the distant past, there were countries that were subordinate to the five phoenixes, and they were unified later.

The immortals and Chifeng made an alliance in the mountains of the Yellow Sea, and the dynasty ruled the world with the officials of the four seasons. Even so, there are still many remote areas that the power of the dynasty cannot reach. strip and so on.

Compared with the Western Continent, due to the dragon veins, certain geographical environments in the Eastern Continent will be more special, and mana and magic power will be more active, which is why there are many monsters and monsters.

Now that the Western Continent has taken action, it is not so urgent whether the Eastern Continent will carry out reforms. Anyway, with the subsequent exchanges, technology, ideas, etc. will spread sooner or later.

Returning to the Eastern Continent this time, Lorraine Hill mainly wanted to explore the big caves and blessed places, that is, the various subspaces born next to the dragon veins, to find out whether there are relics and materials left by past humans.

In fact, she really wanted to know where the other members of the God Winged Sun went after the confrontation between the Sun Crown and the Moon Crown, and why in today's world, they are nowhere to be seen, only some leftover arrangements, such as elves and The two clans of goblins, the legion of angels sleeping in the subspace, and so on.

Among the seven virtues, there should be four other than Michael, Laguel, and Feral. What kind of paths have they each taken?

In the end, who put herself in the forest and then woke up. According to the past history, as one of the pillars of the Sun Throne, she should have passed away in that upheaval.

Unlike Cloyati and Sifnerian, she didn't feel the traces of the shattered power, and she was still so intact, as if she had never encountered the tyrannical disaster that swept across the sea of ​​Aiqka.

The dust of history has buried too much truth and the past, which makes Lorraine Hill look like flowers in a fog, very unreal, especially the last scene of the ancients.

'I kind of want to know. ’ Lorraine Hill murmured softly.

Unknowingly, the sunset glow in the sky has completely sunk into the night, faint stars appear in the sky, and the sea has entered a dark tranquility, only the orange lights flickering in the waves, telling each other's position, and these The lights also represent the individual members of the fleet.

"It's time to go down and eat."

After recalling some past events, Lorraine Hill woke up from the memory, gathered the hair behind her again, tied it up, and walked down the steps of the deck.

Different from the bustling scenes before, the restaurant was much quieter at this time, only sporadic crew members were eating.

For Ye Ling, there is no need to call her, thinking of the sleepy little dragon girl in her mind, Lorraine Hill decided not to call her.

After boarding the ship, Ye Ling was very interested in it a few days ago, but after a few days, she started to feel bored, and then she slept in the room every day, even Dai Ju was pulled by her as a pillow, and she didn't come out for several days.

"Is there anything else to eat now?" Lorraine Hill came to the window.

"It's Your Majesty, what do you want to eat, we can cook it for you directly. In fact, the dishes are basically cold at this time. You need to heat up everything you order. You also need to light a fire, it's the same."

"Okay, let me see."

Lorraine Hill looked at the recipe handed over by the chef, and ordered a light fish soup and rice after a while.

"Okay, just wait a moment, it will be fine soon."

The chef asked the apprentice beside him to light up the fire in the furnace, and then quickly prepared the side dishes and condiments. After a while, a hot cod soup and rice were put on the table.

After the meal, Lorraine Hill went into the house and slept, spending a peaceful night.

For the next two days, the fleet traveled through the heavy rain and vortex, and the waves rolled and rolled all the way. It was not until the third day that they left the sea area where the vortex was located that they gradually encountered sunny weather.

In the past two days, Yeling, who was sleeping soundly, was also woken up from her room. After that, she didn't stay idle, and directly turned into a giant dragon, went to bathe and swim in the sea, and then helped the captains check and Watch to see if there are any departing ships.

On the fourth day, the fleet finally docked at the port of the Pearl Islands, and they can rest and relax for a few days.

"Huh, finally landed, (*^▽^*) ah~" Yeling trotted all the way and jumped off the high deck, landed directly on the pier, and then looked at the harbor.

Compared with the scene when Lorraine Hill went to sea back then, this place has undoubtedly become much more prosperous. Not only has the harbor expanded a lot, but the ships docked inside are also very different. There are large treasure ships from the official dynasty and small long ships built by the people. , there are iron-clad black ships from the Western Continent, and there are also giant disc-shaped ships made of special materials. Such sea ships are shaped like round turtles, without sails, and are surrounded by oars that can be moved.

Different from other ships, this kind of sea-going ship is an exploration ship used to sail in dangerous sea areas with dense eddies and extremely changing currents. Its function is to go deep into dangerous sea areas and find stable routes.

"Beep—" The steam ironclad ship in the distance exhausted the gas from the internal boiler, making a long sound.

After stepping off the treasure ship, Lorraine Hill felt that there were many fine cinders on the pier under his feet. The fine black powder was not easy to wash off.

Looking into the distance inside the island, you can still see two chimneys standing tall, emitting thick black smoke.

The shops on the street were crowded with people, most of them were sailors who disembarked and came to have a meal or drink tea.

Compared with the conservative, introverted, and quiet scenery of the inland, the seaport cities with developed commerce and trade have a more open and rough wharf culture. Many workers carrying goods at the wharf will be shirtless, stand next to the tea shop to drink water, and then wipe their sweat with a towel on their shoulders.

"Steam tea, delicious and novel steam tea~"

In front of a shop on the side of the street, there is a big guy of bronze metal, which is like a ball as a whole, with a support for burning firewood underneath, a meter with several rivets on it, and several raised nut covers on the top of the head. One of them was lifted up and rotated continuously, making regular siren sounds.

Looking at this slightly novel alchemy creation, Lorraine Hill couldn't help walking over, but at this time someone was already asking in front of the booth.

"How do you sell this, or what exactly is it?" A passing customer asked curiously.

"Hey, I won't be able to explain this clearly for a while, just look it up, it's not expensive, a cup with five copper horns." After finishing speaking, the man placed six cups in front of the case, and then unscrewed the big bronze sculpture. From the small faucet next to the belly, a stream of boiling liquid sprayed out.

The strong man expertly held the cups alternately, filled each one, and then turned off the faucet with a quick twist.

The six cups in front of me are currently filled with amber tea, the air is also filled with a hot and refreshing tea fragrance, and looking inside the cups, there are countless tiny bubbles floating and bursting, releasing more aroma.

"Look, everyone, this is our unique steam tea. It tastes extraordinary. Drink it while it's hot and bubbled, and enjoy it like a fairy." He boasted, and then attracted more people's attention.

It was the first time for many people to see this thing, and they were very surprised and novel. Many people also started to spend money to taste it, and then showed a surprised expression.

"How about it, is it worth it!"

"It's worth it! It's really fresh." Several guests replied with their mouths smashed.

"Very, good, drink." One of the businessmen from the Western Continent also gave a thumbs up.

Looking at this scene, Lorraine Hill, who was standing behind the crowd, showed a funny expression.

How should I put this, it's like mixing soda and tea together, it seems a little nondescript to her, but in the eyes of these people now, it might be novel and acceptable?

New technologies can always bring new ideas. Although most of them are similar to the past historical trajectory, there will always be unexpected developments~www.readwn.com~ Perhaps in the future, cola has not become popular yet. Soda water and tea are a step ahead.

Lowering the sun hat on his head, Lorraine Hill, who was wearing a light green dress, slowly retreated from the crowd.

"Sister Lolan, where did you go just now?" Ye Ling found the girl in the crowd at this time, she had run away by herself just now.

"I went to see something new, let's go, let's go shopping first, the fleet will stay here for a few days."

It has to be said that in the harbor of the Pearl Islands, there is a scene that makes people feel a huge sense of fragmentation. You can see oriental women in skirts, elves in hunting suits in short skirts, western mercenaries in breastplates or busts, and oriental warriors in scale armor and carrying maces on their backs. There are alchemists with monocles and various metal gadgets, and practitioners with fluttering clothes and warm jade.

In this era when technology has not fully diffused and cultures have not yet fully communicated, this kind of coexistence of old and new, and the short time when various cultures coexist, are like a kaleidoscope, colorful and vivid.
