She Is Not a Witch Chapter 128: Stage of fate

A week later, Lorraine Hill bid farewell to the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce, and left with the girl rescued from Viscount Morrow, heading for Longjiao Province, which is in the north of the southern border, near the middle of the empire.

"I didn't expect to say goodbye so soon." Charlene looked at the girl in front of her, feeling quite emotional in her heart. When they first met, she thought she was a young lady who had run away from home, but after getting along, She felt more and more that this girl was extraordinary, not only in strength, but also in knowledge, which was far beyond ordinary people.

It's all because Mecia was too shy when we met for the first time, which caused me to have these misunderstandings. Miss Charlene found a reason for herself.

"Is Mecia going to Longjiao Province this time?"

"Yes, I found out that Iyena's brother is over there, so I want to send Iyena there." After helping the northern knights purchase food for the past two days, the girl began to investigate the southern border. The rebels, and Yi Yena's brother happens to be a good entry point.

"Sigh, I wanted to keep you at the battlements of Dragonheart for a few more days. This is the capital of the southern border, and it is also the most prosperous place." Miss Charlene regretted that the headquarter of the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce was here. , and she also has her own house in the city.

"Next time, Sister Charlene." Lorraine Hill still had a lot to do.

"Well, but you don't have to be restrained in the future, don't feel troublesome to me. I really want to see what you look like in a few years, maybe you will become more powerful again, giggling." Charlene covered With a smile, he handed Lorraine Hill a metal nameplate.

"Take this. If you meet someone from the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce in the future, you can get some help and save a lot of trouble."

"Thank you."

"That's it, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Sister Charlene." Iyena also waved her hand to bid farewell to the business lady who was so kind to her.

Standing under the tall city gate, Charlene watched the two leave in the carriage, waved her hands, the warm orange sun reflected on the cold mountain, and the snow-covered woods were also shrouded in a warm color.

Lion Heart Province, the white and clean castle stands on a high cliff, and occasionally a winged griffin flies by, circling and landing in the castle. This is a palace of the Salius family.

"Master Jelanen."

On the spacious courtyard grass, about twenty maids dressed in black and white stood on both sides, bowing and saluting to the man who stepped off the back of the griffin.

"Don't be so polite, get up."

Jelann greeted him casually, and then asked his followers to lead the griffin to a lair not far away, while he led a group of knights to the mansion not far away.

"Is Father already waiting for me here?" This is not the place where the Salius family usually lives, but a mansion occasionally used for vacation.

"Yes, the Duke arrived yesterday, and is currently waiting for your return, young master." The butler at the side walked in front to guide Jay Lanen, talking about the latest situation.

"Now the cold wave in the north is gradually moving down, and some fiefdoms in our territory have also suffered from snowstorms. Many lords have rushed to the master's house to ask for help."

"Oh, is the situation serious?" Jailan asked as he walked, remembering that before returning, he met a group of northern knights on the border, and they seemed to have purchased a lot of food at the border market.

"It's still holding up. After all, there were a lot of food reserves in the past, but it will be hard to say if it takes a long time. Now all parts of the empire are starting to hoard food, and many nobles have even ordered that it is strictly forbidden to use food in their fiefs. Food out."

"Thank you."

The two walked into the restaurant on the second floor, opened the door, and there were already several familiar people sitting on the long dining table.

"Father, I'm back." Jailan bowed to the gray-haired old man in the first seat, and then looked at the first few people.

One of them is his younger sister Fan Tingna, her husband and children, and two younger brothers who have just grown up. I heard that they will go to school in Emenas next year.

"Sit down." The old Griffin Duke nodded without expressing much. He has always been so cold and solemn, making it difficult for people to get close.

The meal started, and the two younger brothers looked at the elder brother curiously, then lowered their heads and ate quietly.

After lunch, the maids came to clear the table.

The old duke raised his gray pupils and looked at Geranne, "Leave to Titania in three days, you understand."

"Yes, my lord father." Jailan bowed his head and responded, unable to see the expression on his face.

"Hmph." The old prince stood up and led the people away.

Afterwards Valentina also got up to take her leave with her husband, and walked away quickly. She was present this time only as a duty not to be scolded by the old prince.

In the end, only Jelan and his two younger brothers were left in the room.

"Brother Jaylan, you are finally back." The two finally couldn't help but be happy after seeing the others leave. They jumped up and surrounded Jaylan, and happily asked about the situation in the south.

"Is it fun there?"

"Did you see the dragon, or did you bring us a dragon scale?"

"Are the noble ladies in the southern border prettier? I heard from Barbaza that black stockings are popular among girls there."

"It's delicious, is there anything new? Didn't the emperor say that those alchemists made a lot of new things?"

The two chattered non-stop, like hungry birds waiting to be fed, which made Jaylan feel dizzy for a while.

"You come one by one. Grace will look for you about gifts and so on. I did bring some things back."

"Really, let's take a look..." As they spoke, the two of them surrounded the elder brother all the way to the gate of the mansion.

Afterwards, the three of them went to the place where the luggage was stored together, and later asked Jailan to tell them various things. It was not until several hours later that the curiosity and enthusiasm of the two gradually faded away.

"Well, it's not as fun as I thought before, hey."

"Let's look forward to going to Emenas later."

"Are there many beautiful girls there? I heard that they are girls from the elf clan." The two younger brothers were in their youth, and their interest in the opposite **** far surpassed their extraordinary abilities.

"Elves? There are indeed, but they might belong to a girl of your grandma's age." Jailan looked at the two boys in front of him with a smile, and then rubbed their hair.

"It's better to find a human girl who is about the same age as me. After all, we are griffins in the mountains, and we cannot marry elves like unicorns." Jailan said the hidden potential among nobles. According to the rules, as the king of the western region, marrying a forest elf would be a bit of an overreach. This is usually the royal privilege, or the style of the nobles in the eastern region.

"I'll test you this time to see how your sword practice is going." After sitting for a while on the fence beside the corridor, Jailan asked the maid to find three wooden swords, and asked his two younger brothers to make his own opponent.

"I'm sure you won't be able to beat Big Brother, but if Big Brother Jaylann lets us go together, maybe we can surprise you." The two looked at each other with sly smiles.

"Then let's go together." After finishing speaking, the three of them came and went on the grass, fighting purely with sword skills and body without using extraordinary power.

"Haha..." An hour later, the three of them lay panting on the grass, smiling and looking at the sky.

"Very good, your cooperation just now." Jailan commented.

"Of course, we are super powerful, just wait, brother, we will surpass you in a few years."

"Then I have to look forward to it, hehe."

After speaking, the three of them quietly closed their eyes and rested their minds, feeling the gentle breeze blowing on their bodies. Now the winter in the western region is coming to an end.

When the sun gradually set and it was past four o'clock in the afternoon, Jailan and his two younger brothers took a walk in this ancient courtyard.

"I heard that this is the earliest mansion of our family. It was at the beginning of the Third Epoch, and there wasn't even a Griffon Principality." The two talked about the records they found in the study recently.

"After the ancestors developed, the place became vacant, and only a few times they would come here for vacation and play."

"It's quite mysterious anyway." The two walked in front, looking at the wall on one side of the corridor, which was covered with green vines, covering the weathered cracks on the wall, giving it a sense of remoteness and tranquility.

"But that's fine, I don't like the noisy appearance of the master's house either. There are a lot of relatives and children, some of them are very stupid."

"It's more comfortable here, hehe." The two of them started running forward together as they said, as if they were going to be faster than anyone else, and they climbed up the mountain wall in front of them first.

"Hey." Stepping on the gray-white rock wall, the two nimbly jumped up the hill, and then waved to Jailan below.

"Come on, Brother Jailan."

"These two guys." Jailan shook his head, and then took a few steps to run up, and then he heard the two people gloating and laughing.

It turned out that there was a big pit hidden behind the mountain wall, and the two just happened to stand by the pit.

Seeing the slight movement of his figure, Jaylann changed his previous relaxed posture and stepped down heavily, stepping on the soil at the bottom of the pit, and knocked the two of them down with an exclamation.

The two rolled a few times on the dirt slope, and then slid to the bottom of the pit in a hurry before they stopped.

"Bah." Spitting out the mud they gnawed in their mouths, the two of them showed bitterness.

"It hurts." Then one of them squatted down with sweat on his forehead and covered his ankle.

"Don't make such pranks, it's okay that it's me, if your sister sees it, you'll probably have to beat me up again." Seeing this, Jelan shook his head.

"No, I was really injured this time, brother." The younger brother who was squatting looked up, his eyes were a little wet.

"Really, let me take a look. It seems that I really sprained my ankle, and it's bleeding." Seeing the socks on his ankle gradually turning red, Jailan also reacted at this moment.

"But this place is full of soil, how could it hit your feet?" As he spoke, he looked at the **** above with some doubts, only to find a corner of the stone exposed, which looked like a certain stone tablet part.

After simply bandaging the wound on the younger brother's foot, Jailan climbed up the hillside again and pushed aside the accumulated soil, only to find the complete stele inside.

"The handwriting is a bit unclear, and it is severely corroded. It seems to be something from a long time ago." The three of them looked at the stone tablet with a little curiosity.

"Is there any more in the back? I always feel that there is more than this."

"Indeed." As he spoke, Jaylan's eyes narrowed, and then he swung his palm down obliquely, and with the white Sundering Blade, plunged into the mountain wall, cutting away a lot of dirt.

After repeating this a few times, the things behind are slowly revealed. The color is as black as ink, and it has not decayed even after being buried for so many years.

The last three people dragged the cuboid object out of the soil, and then took a closer look.

It seems to be made of some kind of rare extraordinary hardwood, with golden pattern decoration on the edge, and the logo of the Salius family in the middle, a gilded griffin pattern, surrounded by unknown white flowers, very beautiful .

"This is something from our family, but it looks like a coffin?" A younger brother showed doubts and stepped forward to knock, but it felt like a solid rock and there was no response.

"Could it be the treasure buried by the ancestors inside." The other also expressed his thoughts, a little eager to try.

"I think, I'd better go and ask my father." Jailan looked at the black hardwood cube in front of him, and frowned slightly. Even with his extraordinary strength, he couldn't see what was hidden in it. Danger.

"Blood, yes, blood." One of the younger brothers seemed to think of something, happily wiped a little blood on his ankle, and then pressed it in the middle of the griffin pattern.

"Don't, how can it be opened so easily..." One of them smiled and shook his head, but suddenly his mouth was stuck, and he stared blankly ahead.

The tightly sealed cube suddenly made a slight noise, and the original chirping of birds and insects in the surrounding forest suddenly quieted down, as if being choked by an invisible creature.

The world has become extremely quiet.

Amidst Jaylan En's extraordinary perception, a cold breath mixed with decaying dust overflowed from the coffin, calming him down, like some kind of giant beast crouching in front of him, making him dare not act rashly.

Then the three of them watched as a tiny slit opened in the coffin, and strands of white hair came out of it. These hairs seemed to be alive, spreading to the surroundings, gradually covering the ground, winding around the trunk, covering the The sky, hanging from above.

The originally bright earth pit became extremely dim, as if it was getting dark, and under the shocking eyes of the three people, the coffin gradually opened and slid completely, revealing the sleeping figure inside.

With pure white hair, pure white dress, pure white eyebrows, and pure white eyelashes, this sleeping girl looks to be only about 15 years old, thin and weak, and her skin is also pure white, as if flawless marble.

When she slowly opened her eyes, Jailan seemed to see a phantom. The pure white hairs in her vision fell off and turned into white rocks, and the messy and ordinary earth pits also changed. For the majestic and beautiful marble halls, neat and holy.

A curved staircase was formed step by step, surrounding the black coffin. After that, the pure white girl slowly floated up and then fell gently. consistent with the environment.

"I am the witch carved on the holy white stone imitating Waslin, are you the descendants of Auslin?"

Oslin, the brave lion, a hero thousands of years ago, led the mountain people in the chaos and disaster, guarded the steep fortress, saved countless people, died of exhaustion, and was buried in the tomb of the Holy Duke, posthumously It is holy, and it is also the ancestor of the Salius family, the origin of the Griffin Principality.

"Exactly."

The three of them slowly knelt down and squatted halfway in front of the girl, and the voice from the holy and the rock descended from it, entwining themselves.

'May you be like carved holy white lions, fearless of swords, spears, swords, halberds, cold, wind and fire, until the glorious victory. ’

The ancient witch power, like a blessing, is also like a curse, slowly adding to the body.

————————

In the far north, the wilderness where thousands of snowflakes are flying.

The undulating sea of ​​reed grass is covered with white snow, swaying in the continuous cold wind, and the place where the lake was once rippling has turned into a piece of solid ice.

Shades in black clothes and robes are advancing on the ground. They gradually form a huge circular array, like a complicated and mysterious ancient pattern, surrounding the open space. The staff pointed straight at the sky.

Under the gray sky, snowflakes fell into the eye sockets of these people, melted into icy water, and flowed into their warm necks.

"Follow the ancient oath, the Prophet of Black Feather who roams the world, we, the people of Gray Wing, will call here again, and the agreed time has come."

Accompanied by the silent shouts of thousands of necromancers, the tremors from the soul resounded through the earth, and the intense magic power of the necromancers wandered and gathered in the cold wind, forming a violent eye of the storm.

Immediately, hoarse cries came from all directions, and pairs of black wings covered the sky and the sun. These gray-black ravens uttered terrified cries, and gathered under the sky.

They pass through the icy cold wind and clouds, and layers of frost gradually condense on the wings, but they still don't stop, keep going upwards, as if they want to break through the thick clouds that cover the sky, and keep circling in the sky up.

As the terrifying magic power gathered in the strong wind, each Necromancer stared ahead in the cold wind, their hoodies whistling and fluttering.

The special and icy magic power is colder than the north wind, colder than the frost, constantly blowing the central open space.

There, the originally dry and cold ice began to crack, making a crisp tearing sound, and then collapsed piece by piece, and a huge pothole with a diameter of several kilometers gradually formed on the ground.

The rock-hard ice and soil were rolled up by the storm and flew into the sky continuously, and the ice and frozen soil below gradually turned into debris.

Ice cubes are brittle

Ice cubes are brittle

I don't know how long time passed, these necromancers looked at the hollow below like statues, and a huge hollow with an inverted cone gradually formed below.

Finally, the last piece of permafrost and ice was also torn apart, revealing the extremely dark blue crystal below, and a woman in a blue-black robe lay twisted in it.

Amidst the thud, the dark blue ice crystals turned into powder and dissipated in the cold wind.

The sleeping prophetess gradually opened her eyes, and then gradually floated up surrounded by thousands of jackdaws.

"Welcome to your return, the witch of the sharp-eyed crow, Your Highness Gerjarad."

Under the gray sky, the circling gray crows finally tore apart the dense dark clouds, rays of sunlight passed through the clouds, and shone on the vast white land, and the cold wind finally stopped, The world is gradually getting warmer.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the hooded prophetess sat on a tree stump, gazing at the world like a raven, while below, wizards in black robes bowed and obeyed her guide.

——————

Eastern border of the empire, a snowy night.

Elio walked in the mountains and forests with heavy steps. He tripped over the gravel under his feet from time to time, and then slowly climbed up. No more pain.

Where is Sister Anna

I really want to eat cake again

Hands are so cold

Mom, no, mom is gone

Only me

Why

Why is this happening, I don't understand

Why does kind sister Anna do this

So sad

Why don't you tell me

I am too weak

Yeah, such a humble me, why should I live

Yeah, why live

It will only make everyone hate it

The dirty child

The child who does not understand etiquette

The child with no family

It's me

Stumbling in the snow for the last time, Elio couldn't get up again.

In the boundless snow, he curled up on the grass, his body trembled, and his eyelashes were covered with heavy frost, making it difficult to open them.

This is where it all ends.

Some kind of final enlightenment rose in my heart, my consciousness gradually became blurred, and my clenched hands slowly spread out, waiting for the arrival of the last moment. If everything ends like this.

At some point, a petite figure walked out of the snowy mountains and forests, surrounded by goats, purple snakes, elk, and snowy owls. These intelligent animals in the mountains followed her quietly.

Silently, these animals lifted the boy up, and then slowly walked into the secluded forest behind them.

After an unknown amount of time, the boy woke up in a hazy orange-yellow halo. He felt warmth around his body, and he was still lying on something soft.

Is this heaven or Hades? A thought flashed through Elio's mind, and then a snowy owl's song woke him up, and he sat up slowly.

"Are you awake?" A pleasant voice came from behind.

The young man then turned around and looked at the fairytale-like environment.

This open space is surrounded by frozen green fine branches and leaves, which filter out the cold outside like a wall from the wind, and above the head, tiny berries are exposed among the frozen green, emitting a warm orange halo to embellish the night.

A girl with long silver-purple hair is sitting on a thick stump at the moment, and I seem to have just woken up from her knees. Behind her, goats, elk, squatting quietly, and a snowy owl It stopped at the shoulder, and a snake with purple scales was wrapped around its arms.

"Are you a fairy in the forest?" Elio thought of the old fairy tales he heard in the tavern, about the eternal maiden holding a frozen blue wreath.

"Probably ~IndoMTL.com~ Do you have any wish to come true?" asked the mysterious silver-purple girl.

"Is it possible to wish for anything? I, I want to revive Sister Anna."

Looking at this otherworldly girl, Elio felt that everything was like a dream.

"Yes, because I am the immortal witch, Korros."

"But as the price of your wish, you will ascend the icy throne and use ice and blood to reform the thousand-year empire."

The girl's eyes closed slightly and then opened again. In those beautiful eyes, the boy fell into a deep sleep again.

Put the boy on his knees again, and the girl's hand gently caressed his eyelids.

"Finally found you, Prince Ansroy's son, Elio Cang Zusselberg."

"According to the agreement, you will become the emperor of the empire. Since you were found in the beautiful rime winter scenery, from now on, I will call you the king of rime."
