She Is Not a Witch Chapter 123: The Witch’s Board
Emenas, fluttering snowflakes continue to fall. After the winter festival party, the college ushered in a short vacation. Although it is impossible to go home, fortunately, you can sleep well in the dormitory, or with friends in the club Play around the academy. Whether it is the bacon bar in the town on the west, the furnace hall among the mountains in the north, the Black Swan Castle in the forest on the east, or the skating rink under the bridge in the south, they are all good places to play.
However, in the mountains and forests where there are few students, a high tower is still tightly closed, and the cold stone tower is covered with snowflakes and blends in with the surrounding environment.
In a corner of the tower, the fireplace was burning vigorously. Chris squatted beside her, took out a few baked sweet potatoes from under the fire ash, and patted them lightly. Then one corner was peeled off, revealing the sweet orange inside, and bursts of white air overflowed from it, continuously drifting in the room.
"It's baked. Do you want Tides and Si Ye to eat some?" The witch in a light pink and white princess dress stood up easily, and then turned around.
On the side not far from the fireplace, there is a small coffee table on the black and white checkered floor, with a chessboard on it, with chess pieces of various colors, and two witches are sitting on both sides of the chessboard, one of them Petite as a doll, the other has rare blond hair and silver eyes.
"So, our side won this time." Tidess picked up a white three-dimensional chess piece and touched it lightly, and then removed a black lion head chess piece from the board.
"I have to say that Si Ye is still very powerful. Little Luolan was almost fooled. Unfortunately, she is not the kind of person who is greedy and never lets go of treasures. Temperance and sobriety are indeed rare qualities." Tides Holding a lace folding fan, covering his face lightly, he looked at the motionless doll girl in front of him.
"Well, this time it's our side that lost." Si Ye's face as white as porcelain was not surprised, and he nodded in a flat tone.
"According to the previous agreement, Ibelle will leave now and will no longer participate in future battles, and you can make a simple request." Si Ye continued.
"It's nothing to ask, it's just that Ibelle is not allowed to reveal the identity of little Lorraine to other witches or the high-level officials of the empire. After all, she is still too weak and needs to develop." Tides said that she had prepared a long time ago. condition.
"Acceptable." Si Ye nodded.
"Did you actually choose this one? I thought Tides wanted to take advantage of this to ask for an extra spot, so that the witch on your side can make a move." Chrissy broke open a small piece of sweet sweet potato, and tasted it in small bites. Then she plopped down on the soft sofa, revealing the pink and white stockings under the skirt.
"It's so sweet~ Don't you really want one? Sitting next to the chessboard every day is tiring." The mirror witch happily ate snacks.
"Occasionally take a break, especially Si Ye, who has only retired for ten years and is starting to do this kind of brain-consuming calculation again. I always feel that you can't take time off."
"Chris." Si Ye puffed up his cheeks slightly, trying to stop the Mirror Witch's unstoppable words.
"Okay, okay, it's rare for you to be serious this time, so I won't bother you."
"Who will I go to play with later, or go to Tehuana to see? I snatched Kitty from her last time, and I don't know if she has calmed down. If it doesn't work, I will prepare some gifts " Chris finished eating the sweet potato in her hand, sat up, thought for a while, and a slight bell rang in the room.
Two beautiful metal bells tied together, with green leaves and tiny berries hanging in the corner of the room, suddenly shook.
"This is..." Chris suddenly remembered something, then tapped in front of her, and a silver magic mirror rose from the ground.
There was a slight light on the mirror surface, and then two colors of green and red were reflected symmetrically on the left and right, and a witch in full costume walked out of it.
"Long time no see, Chris." She has shoulder-length blond hair and wears a shawl dress that overlaps left and right. The style is slightly gorgeous, and there are slender golden chains wrapped around her white wrists.
After raising her skirt to salute, the witch revealed her red and emerald eyes, showing an amazing charm. And even among the witches, the appearance of this witch can be said to be quite outstanding.
"Aihekatri, it's rare to see you." Tides's clear voice came from the side, and the witch with heterochromatic pupils turned to look at the two people at the table.
"Hello, Tides." This witch seemed to have rarely dealt with Tides before.
"Are you going to end up here this time? If that's the case, little Lorraine is too dangerous." Tidess looked at the twin witches and asked. In Si Ye's faction, this twin witch is extremely mysterious, and Tides doesn't know much about her, but her strength is very extraordinary. To rank among the top ten witches, who is like a rose covered in mist? , a curious existence.
"I will remain neutral for the time being." The witch shook her head, and then continued to speak.
"However, it depends on the performance of all parties. According to the past oath, as long as the red and green roses continue to rule this country, I will give them blessings and protection."
"In this case, it's not unacceptable." Tides thought thoughtfully.
Next, the four of them sat on the edge of the chessboard and looked at the chess pieces on it. Then Si Ye moved again and placed a small chess piece on the east side of the chessboard.

Viscount Moruo, after the flames burned, the forest was covered with gray dust, and carbonized dead branches and warmth remained on the scorched black ground, making people walking in it feel warm under their feet, or even scalded the soles of their shoes.
Owen, the captain of the castle's guard, led his people to search the mountains, looking for possible survivors. The main purpose was naturally the owner of the castle, Viscount Moruo.
"Still haven't found it?" Kevin stood at the edge of the scorched forest and asked the people who came to report.
"Captain, this mountain has already been climbed. According to the guests who fled back last night, there were a lot of monsters attacking at that time. Maybe Master Mo Ruo..."
"Shut up and keep looking." Kevin frowned and waved his hands. He couldn't accept such a result.
"Yes, captain." The guard sighed as he said this, and continued to walk up the mountain covered with white ash.
At noon, someone finally discovered the passage hidden under the ashes.
"Here, Captain! We've found the steward," the guard yelled.
A group of people surrounded him. The formerly healthy butler seemed to have aged over ten years overnight. After he woke up, his face was still full of fear.
"No, don't come here...don't eat me." He trembled and swayed, as if he was still immersed in the fear of the monster's roar last night.
"Master Mo Ruo, Master Mo Ruo." Looking at the housekeeper who was overly frightened, the others asked anxiously, but the answer they got was still only the same repetition.
A week later, the gentlemen in the territory finally confirmed that Viscount Moruo died in the fire. And the miracle is that after the fire and monster attack that night, the forest settled down again, there was no more monster attack, and everything seemed to return to the stability of the past.
After losing this nobleman, the guards in the city seemed to suffer a lot. For a while, everyone felt more relaxed than when Viscount Moruo was alive. Or maybe this will be the beginning of a new life?
In the resident of the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce, members are loading boxes of goods onto the carriage. Now that the snow on the road is gradually melting, it is time to start again.
"Is Miss Mecia here?" Charlene knocked on the door lightly, and then a sleepy girl opened the door. She was wearing simple pure white pajamas, and she seemed to be awake.
"It's time to go, Mesia." She helped the girl tidy her hair.
"Since you came back from the last banquet, you have been sleepy every day. Did you encounter any trouble? At that time, everyone fled everywhere, and many people did not come back."
"Well, I met a very powerful monster at that time, ha~." Lorraine Hill felt very sleepy, and the sequelae of power borrowing still troubled her, and it is estimated that she will have to sleep for a few weeks before gradually recovering.
"Okay~IndoMTL.com~ sleep on the road, you are the reassurance of our caravan, if everyone can't see the lovely and brave Miss Messia, they will be very disappointed." Charlene said Jokingly, hugged this adorable girl, and patted the back lightly.
"By the way, didn't you say before that you still have to find your lost distant sister Lottie?"
"Would you like to go to Chixin Province with us this time? It's the center of the southern border and the most prosperous place. If you go there, you should have some clues. After all, it's where all the news gathers."
"It is said that there is still a Dragon Cliff Mountain Range in Chixin Province, where a giant dragon with fiery red scales lives. Many people who travel there will buy a piece or two of dragon scales as a souvenir. The blood-winged red dragon of the Baska family used to Most of them also come from here.”
"Chixin Province is also known as the heart of the southern border. If you go there, your talents will be able to be used."
Sha Lin looked at the blond girl and sighed in her heart, the two will part ways sooner or later.
After all, no matter how young a dragon is, there will be a day when it will fly high in the wind, and it will not stay in the shade forever.
