She Is Not a Witch Chapter 156: The dream of re-burning

After spending a warm night, Xia Lanluote gradually integrated into this warm camp and started a simple and stable life.

"I need a lot of wood to build a house recently, 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 there are not many extraordinary people in the camp now, 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 watched us do it before and knows the general process. If there is anything she doesn't understand, you can also ask me."

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

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

During the 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, some were herbs, mushrooms and the like.

"I 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 embellish the undulating stones and 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 grass blades were scattered among them, emitting A herbaceous sap smell.

"This is it." Nika stopped after speaking, and then pointed to the cedar tree not far in front of her.

Looking at the huge tree with the thickness of the three people hugging each other, Lottie nodded slightly, no wonder the uncle asked himself to help, such a tree, if it is cut down by a mortal, it would be very laborious.

She picked up the axe and activated the extraordinary core in her body. The ordinary axe blade gradually became glowing with magic power, and then she 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 axe." Then she talked about some tricks.

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

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

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

"Let's 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 light white and tender tree, and the rough touch of the wood thorns came from the wound, mixed with moist water vapor.

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

The canopy and branches of the tree overwhelmed the surrounding ground and plants, and the large dark green leaves shook and rattled, and Lottie also heaved a sigh of relief.

"How about it? Doesn't it give you a sense of accomplishment." Nika smiled.

"Sister Lottie's first logging success was a big success~." She smiled and gave a thumbs up, and then tried to carve small characters on the broken part of the tree.

"You have to remember it well. If you build a house with the wood of this tree in the future, you should also remember who cut it down. After all, it took a lot of effort." She squatted there, and then took He picked up a knife and wrote crookedly.

After a while, the girl stood up and patted her clothes.

Looking at the sun above the head that is gradually reaching the mid-heaven, the time has passed noon without knowing it.

"Let's rest for a while, let's eat something." After speaking, Nika took Lottie to sit on the branch of the fallen tree, and then took out the dry food wrapped at the bottom of the basket.

"It's easier at noon, and I'll eat delicious food at night."

Afterwards, the two chatted, and Lottie listened curiously to Nika talking about her daily life, such as what kind of crops are more delicious, the wild deer she saw when herding sheep, how to use lights to go fishing at night, and how to go in summer Picking up cicada sloughs, those wild fruits can be eaten directly, and so on.

For Lottie, who grew up in the castle and the court, all this was so fresh and interesting, it made her seem to see another world, a life experience completely different from that of nobles, and also different from that of ordinary people in small towns and cities. .

It turns out that such an existence still exists.

The world is so vast and colorful, maybe I thought it was too limited before.

After lunch, the two took a nap against the trees, and then cut down two big trees in the afternoon before preparing to return.

"As expected, Sister Lottie is smart, once she learns it, the afternoon will be much faster." Nika was talking about the afternoon.

"Actually, it's just taking advantage of the physique of an extraordinary person." Lottie said a little embarrassedly. This is also the rare time she has been praised these days, and she feels warm in her heart.

"So humble." Nika pouted, wanting to say something, but felt uncomfortable.

"Actually, Sister Lottie is very powerful, stronger than many brothers, so it's great to be great."

"Why are you afraid of other people's praise? If I have the strength of Sister Lottie, I will be very happy every day."

"This..." Xia Lanluote was at a loss for words for a while, asking when did she look like this.

When the Baskar family was still there, I was the kind of person who would honestly say thank you when receiving compliments, but why do I feel guilty now.

Maybe it's because I realized that I'm actually weak and powerless.

She closed her eyes slightly, recalling her experiences over the past year. She was always rescued, always helped, and always relying on the sacrifices of others to keep herself alive again and again.

So, I have nothing to be proud of, it's just that Yu Ze, who has some ancestors, has a famous name.

"Actually, if Nika practiced from a young age, she would be able to reach this level. I'm just lucky." She said what she was thinking.

"But no, I don't like people who always say if if, hum." Nika was a little unhappy.

"Brother Tewen is like this. He always says that he is underappreciated. If he comes from a better background, or if he is rich and powerful, he can do so."

"I hate people who say that they can do whatever they want, as if their own failures and misfortunes are all other people's faults, and it's all because of their unlucky luck."

"If I have an apple, I will definitely eat it happily, instead of saying there, it's just my luck, I have an apple, no one else has it, I don't deserve it, so I should be ashamed, no You should be happy."

"Such a person is really awkward." Nika turned around in front and said with wide eyes.

"If you have it, you will have it. If you have it, you will be happy. If you don't have it, you won't have it. Just look for it. Why are you unhappy all day long, or you are so arrogant, so disgusting."

"However, if this apple should belong to someone else." Lottie stroked the hair on the side of her ear, looking down at the road under her feet.

"How could it be someone else's? Could it be that it was snatched? That's really not good."

"It's not a robbery, it's just...it's just that at that time, everyone gave me more. Logically speaking, it was actually unfair, but no one realized it." Lottie bit her lip.

"I see..." Nika walked ahead.

"It feels like Sister Lottie has a lot of things hidden in her heart. I am a child, and I don't know many things. It's just that if this is the case, then just go back."

"But there's no such thing..." Lottie wanted to shake her head before she finished speaking, but her voice gradually became quieter.

Should I go back? Is it too late? After all, everyone doesn't believe me anymore, and...and...and many people have died. She silently thought of those faces in her heart.

"Is it difficult, well, maybe I think too simple. I'm sorry, Sister Lottie." Nika felt that she seemed to have said the wrong thing, well, obviously her mother taught herself not to judge others at will Thoughts, after all, I haven't experienced it myself.

"It's nothing, maybe you're right." Lottie looked at the setting sun, the warm red afterglow sprinkled over the mountains, and occasionally a bird song resounded in the forest. A curl of cooking smoke rises.

It's a beautiful place, she seems to be feeling emotional.

"It's not bad, hehe." Seeing Lottie stop to look at the scenery, Nika also came over.

"I really like it here. I don't have those troublesome things in the city. I feel so happy. If only it stays like this." She raised one foot and spun on the flat stone slab, her voice cheering happily came.

"Yes, there will be such a life, in fact, I also like it very much." Lottie, that is, Xia Lanlotte, looked at the mountains and fields, and murmured to herself.

A week later, the sky knight driving the phoenix finally woke up.

Cialanlot helped her sit up in the newly built wooden house and brought her a glass of water.

"Is it better?"

"It's better, thank you, sir." The purple-haired woman drank water, looked around for a while, and then asked about the situation.

"Where are we now?"

"This is Cold Lake Province, which is the mountain forest in the middle of the empire near the southern border. We are in a hidden camp. Don't worry, there are no imperial legions around."

Cialanlot sat lightly beside the woman, and slowly told about her experiences along the way.

"It's really a blessing from the gods." After listening, the female knight was also very grateful, and then she told her identity.

"Hi, my lord Charlanot. My name is Fenis, and I come from the hidden guardian clan." After she finished speaking, she groped around and took out a pendant on her chest, which had a black-bottomed phoenix pattern. chapter.

On the pitch-black ground, the crater was about to erupt, and one of the firebirds jumped out of it, lifelike. This coat of arms is very delicate. A kind warmth.

"My ancestors were once greatly favored by the Baska family, so they vowed to protect the descendants of the Baska family in the dark. In peacetime, we generally do not contact the Baska family. Only in times of crisis can we Will show up. Only in this way can we avoid being targeted."

Listening to Finnis' narration, Ciaranlott understood the past hundreds of years ago. At that time, the Baskar family conquered the dragons in the southern border, and also saved the dying phoenix family. At that time, the phoenix clan and the red dragon clan fought with each other, but because their numbers were far smaller than each other, they gradually fell behind. Most of the craters used to hatch larvae were occupied by red dragons, and it became more and more difficult to reproduce.

"It was also at that time that the Baska family specially opened up a hidden volcanic territory for our ancestors to guard there and take care of the weak phoenix."

"In order to avoid suspicion, we were not given aristocratic status, but we were given a lot of help and protection, and we were able to gradually multiply and live there."

Phoenix talked about her childhood life, living in an isolated mountain forest village, practicing extraordinary skills according to her parents' instructions, and getting close to the newborn phoenix hatchlings.

"So that's how it is." After hearing this, Ciaranrot realized that the Baska family had left behind so many followers.

Perhaps the ancestors had considered a lot, such as the downfall of the family, the rebellion, the decline of the empire, etc., to preserve as many options as possible for their descendants.

"Actually, the ancestors of the Pascal family originated in the middle of the empire, and they also buried a lot of treasures in the past fiefdoms, which can be used in times of crisis." Finnis explained why the phoenix would bring This is the reason why the two of them flew to the middle of the empire instead of south.

"If the eldest lady needs it, I can take you to the hidden treasure of the Baskar family, where you can obtain resources for a comeback."

"Have you been there before?"

"Not really, but because of the guidance of a pendant and your blood, the seal can be unlocked." Finnis explained.

"That's it." Xia Lanluote did not immediately agree, but walked to the window lightly, looking at the busy and harmonious small village outside.

It's something they've just recently set up, and Lottie has a hand in a lot of it.

"Phoenix, I believe in your loyalty, and I know that you are willing to give everything for me, but I am hesitant."

"What is the comeback for, just to let my descendants continue to live that luxurious life?"

"If it was before, I might agree."

"But since the bustling of the Pascal family, I have experienced too many things and seen too many sad scenes."

"Mother, sister, Ewinie, Gel Smith, Dragon Knight, Dragon of Doom, they all fell in front of me one by one.

"Is it just for such a reason? It's really ridiculous." She turned around with a sad but sad smile on her face.

"Actually, I don't care whether I can survive or not, or maybe it is because I am alive that so many conflicts and sorrows have been caused." The girl pressed her chest lightly with one hand, and closed her eyes with trembling eyelashes. .

"I'm tired of being saved, it makes me miserable and guilty."

"The good wishes hundreds of years ago have caused the bad and bad situation today."

"I wanted to jump out of the vortex of revenge, but found that those sins and karma had already entangled me."

"It's like a curse, let me gradually embark on this path of no return."

"But is this really the future I want to see?"

"Kill all the enemies, execute all the relevant personnel who have persecuted our family, and live happily?"

"No, there is no such happiness anymore."

"A wound is a wound that will never heal, and the life that dies never returns."

The woman stared blankly at the girl who was struggling in pain, and couldn't help but speak.

"Then what kind of future do you want to embrace? If possible, I would like to follow it all my life, because this is an oath and agreement made a hundred years ago."

Charlanlotte approached slowly, looking at the loyal knight in front of her, her eyes gradually approached, and a new flame seemed to burn out of them.

"I must make up for the mistakes made by my predecessors and cut off all this sad thing."

"If the Baskar family has brought sorrow and pain to this land, then I will repay it with songs and blood and tears."

"I will do my best, whether it is wisdom, wealth, blood, tears, name or everything, to end this sad rule and let everyone live a happy and stable life."

"Ordinary life inspired me and let me know that life also has a completely different trajectory."

"I don't necessarily want to restore the Baskar family, or even defeat all the enemies."

"I don't know exactly where the empire came from, but now I see a small village being established."

"It's so simple and unpretentious ~IndoMTL.com~ gives me so much peace of mind."

"Small villages gather to gradually form towns, and each town gathers to gradually form a city, and each city embellishes the land, and finally forms a vast country."

"The most complex things are also made of extremely basic things."

"I don't know how to build a perfect country, but I think if there are more peaceful villages like this, and everyone gets along fairly and harmoniously, then we can usher in a bright future."

"In this way, the mistakes made by the family can be made up for a little bit, and I can also gain the long-lost peace of mind."

"So, are you willing to work with me to change this rotten and fallen land? Burn all the old mistakes, build a new kingdom, and embark on this road like purgatory."

"I am willing to follow your will until that red heart stops beating." The knight pressed his chest with one hand, half kneeling, just like the ancient murals, and made an unchanging oath.
