She Is Not a Witch Chapter 163: The stronghold in the mountains

"Hello, how do you sell these 'vegetables'?"

In the small town's market, a girl in a snow-colored cloak knelt down and looked at a spice sold by the local mountain folk. It is called purple velvet by the locals.

According to the memory in the girl's mind, in the previous life, this vegetable or herb should be called perilla, or basil, which is a good thing for cooking to remove fishy smell and detoxify.

"A bunch of 3 copper coins." The mountain man looked at the cleanly dressed, young and beautiful girl in front of him, and made a gesture.

The price is definitely higher than usual. The locals probably don’t want to buy a bunch of copper coins for this kind of hard-to-satisfy vegetable leaves, but seeing that the girl is not short of money, she shouted. some.

"Okay." Lorraine Hill nodded, took out 6 copper coins from her pocket and put them in front of her, then picked up two bunches of them. She didn't lack this money, so naturally she didn't care much about the price.

Standing up and putting the two bundles into the basket, the young girl continued to walk in the market of this small town, looking at various small vendors, some of which sold fur and cured meat, and some sold knitted goods Yes, there are fruit sellers, small tools and so on. It can be seen that the business atmosphere here is not bad. Although the sparrow is small and complete, most daily necessities can be found.

The light gray boots stepped on the gravel ground, Lorraine Hill stopped for a while, and scanned the entire market. In addition to most of the daily common items, she also found a few special points.

A hunter who sells small magical beasts, this brown-black bearded uncle stands there, and next to him is a cage made of strong withered vines, inside which is a blue-and-white squirrel jumping around, Want to escape but can't get away.

: A monster that lives in the frigid coniferous forest. It likes to collect fruits. It is extremely fast and can glide and fly for a short time. When it is nervous, it will use its sharp claws to attack the enemy. Its strength is not strong at the same level, but it has beautiful fur. Very popular with nobles or hunters.

The price is 6 gold coins. Although it is a sky-high price in the eyes of ordinary people, it may be really cheap in the eyes of nobles. However, this is not a big city, and there are few buyers. It is estimated that it will be difficult to sell.

In addition to this extraordinary hunter, there is also a "craftsman" on the south side of the market who sells various gadgets with extraordinary effects.

The old man looks quite old. There are various small wooden props on his booth, including light wooden swords, curved longbows, iron-covered wooden armor, and unarmored weapons. guns and the like.

The evaluation of these items is mostly around the black iron level. Although they are better than ordinary items, they don't have that much advantage, but the price is not low, so the sales are not very good.

It's a bit embarrassing to rank, looking at these props, the girl thought to herself.

If it is silver level or above, there will naturally be many organizations or nobles to recruit. Even if it is bronze level, it can open a shop in a big city, but black iron level is very embarrassing. Rich nobles look down on it, and poor ones It is not very useful and expensive for civilians to buy.

Which is the most important thing? /

In fact, this old man's craftsmanship is very exquisite, and she can feel it. When making these things, they try to give full play to their own characteristics and advantages, but limited by the materials themselves, they can only achieve this. effect.

In addition, he has not systematically studied enchanting techniques, and the effect is simple and single, which is naturally unattractive.

Although it is a small town in the mountains, there are still many capable people. They can catch extremely fast snow chinchillas in Sequence 3, and they can make handy and easy-to-use props in Sequence 2 only.

If there is a good platform, such a person should be able to shine.

Lorraine Hill slightly pulled down the brim of his hat and walked over.

"Hello, may I ask if you caught this snow chinchilla yourself?"

After hearing Lorraine Hill's voice, the uncle hunter turned around and nodded slightly, but his face was still cold and he was not very talkative.

"Actually, if you send it to a big city, you should be able to sell it for more money." The girl kindly suggested.

"Well, but it's very troublesome." The uncle's face softened a little, but he still didn't say much.

Well, it seems that he doesn't like dealing with people very much.

Seeing this, Lorraine Hill stopped persuading, and turned to talk about another purpose this time.

"Actually, I want to find a local guide to investigate in the deep mountains, because I heard that there are some strange phenomena here. Since you can catch the monster, you must know the surrounding situation very well. I don't know if you can help me Leading the way."

"Of course the salary will not treat you badly." After speaking, the girl took out 5 extraordinary gold coins in her hand.

The uncle glanced at the money, but did not accept it immediately.

"Be more specific."

"That's it..." Lorraine Hill glanced around, then whispered a name.

After listening, the hunter raised his eyes to look at the girl, then expressed his understanding, but stretched out his hand again.

"Ten gold coins, three days."

"Okay."

Lorraine Hill nodded.

Her target this time is the organization behind the 'Wolf Bone Alchemy Workshop'.

Since the butler was taken down last time, many secret personnel and conspiracies have been unearthed according to the investigation and follow-up of the 'Fairy Wood' organization in the whole province. The nobles in Jiao Province were shocked. It turned out that there was still such an organization that had infiltrated them.

In addition to being afraid, many nobles have calmed down and become a little more loyal to this temporary alliance, but I am afraid that there is more fear in their hearts.

Since even such an organization can be captured, it can be seen that the force behind Viscount Winlani will only become stronger.

Under such false rumors, many nobles even believed that the organization 'Fairywood' might be a powerful force that had been hidden for hundreds of years, secretly manipulating many historical trends.

Although it sounds outrageous, such a deterrent effect is really good, so Lubin and Lorraine Hill just let it go.

Since ancient times, there have been many addictive psychedelic potions, but such hidden ones that many people are unknowingly addicted to without realizing it are very rare.

Although the nobles are greedy for pleasure, they are not without vigilance. The upper echelons of the empire once banned such potions, so they naturally understand the dangers.

Finding out the forces behind the Wolf Bone Alchemy Workshop has also become a side mission of the girl's southward trip. Anyway, there is still plenty of time. The fleet will arrive in about two months, and she has plenty of time to investigate clearly.

After agreeing to meet with this hunter tomorrow morning, the girl bid farewell and left, and came to the booth of the 'craftsman' beside her.

"Hello, strong little girl, do you need anything, or just a little curious, ha ha." Looking at the girl who stopped in front of him, the old man seemed not surprised. But his vision is still there, and he has long noticed this unique adventurer in the market.

"It's a little curious, if you use better materials, you should be able to do better things."

"This is true, but good materials are not common, so I got used to it." The old man was a little thin, wearing a light-colored blouse, with a little white beard on his chin, like a goat, with a kind voice and.

"How about this kind of wood." Lorraine Hill thought for a while, and then "taken" a small piece of red maple from the basket.

This is a product of the Maple Leaf Garden. Although it is not from the ancient red maple tree, it is also a silver-level extraordinary material.

Taking this red wood-grained branch, the old man stroked it slowly, feeling the texture and magic in it.

"Very good wood, what do you want to make?"

"I think about it, let's make a sword, maybe it doesn't need to be too long, so it's easy to carry." Lorraine Hill blinked.

"No problem, if the customer trusts me, pick it up in about 3 days, and it should be done."

"Okay."

Later, Lorraine Hill left the market and searched around the tavern and other places, but found nothing special, and then went back to the hotel to rest.

The next day.

Lorraine Hill put on an adventurer outfit that was easy to move, and then went to the market to meet the hunter.

After the two had breakfast, they set off for the mountains.

After advancing for more than ten miles, they gradually entered the uninhabited rugged jungle. The two of them had a small rest, and only then did the hunter ask.

"You are looking for the organization that grows herbs and refines medicines in the mountains."

"That's right, uncle, have you heard about it before?"

"I know, but I won't provoke them." He shook his head.

"They are very strong, and they may have masters of complex sequence 5."

"It doesn't matter, in fact, my strength is not bad." The girl was afraid that this uncle would give up because of fear.

"Well, I can probably feel it, that's why I took this task, otherwise you will die if you go." Although he didn't talk much, his vision was not bad. He has dealt with monsters all the year round, so he naturally summed up a wealth of experience .

Although the girl looked very young, but the skill and the faintly flowing magical power were extremely harmonious and stable, which made him unable to figure it out, so she left without turning her head yesterday. Otherwise, he would not do such a thing as a nanny to protect a weak young lady into the mountains, it would be too troublesome.

"Are you looking for them to eradicate these people?"

"Yes." Lorraine Hill nodded, wondering what the uncle would say next.

"Then I suggest you be more ruthless and don't keep alive, or you will attract revenge." The uncle's tone remained steady, as if he was talking about today's lunch.

"Ah, is that so." Lorraine Hill was slightly surprised.

"You can't be too sympathetic with bad people, even if they may repent, because it will hurt yourself." After the uncle finished speaking, he didn't continue, as if he didn't want to repeat one thing.

"Let's rest for a while, we will probably be able to reach the outskirts of their base in the evening."

"Okay." The girl nodded, although she wasn't too sleepy, she still closed her eyes and leaned against the tree trunk for a while.

In the afternoon, the two continued to climb and jump on the rugged mountain road, and finally came to an area full of mountain peaks.

The mountains here are very straight and steep, standing up one by one, like a huge stone sword with a diameter of more than 100 meters piercing the sky. Below is the dense forest sea, and the situation inside cannot be seen clearly.

Looking at this unnatural landform, the girl guessed that it might be the masterpiece of a large monster in the past, just like the magnificent canyon that split the Sighing Mountains. This huge stone forest should also be a Sequence 9 monster that fought in the past traces left behind.

Follow the uncle hunter and gently pull out the bushes in front of him, so that the line of sight can pass through and look at the looming buildings in the canyon.

"It's here." He pointed.

"However, we can't act immediately. We must first find out the surrounding terrain and know which exits there are."

"Then prepare more things to ignite and ignite the fire, and act again in the middle of the night tomorrow, when the forest eagle they raise will also rest."

"In the night, you are very agile alone, and even if the other party wants to escape, they can't run fast." On a moonless night, ordinary people can't go far even on horseback, not to mention the steep mountain roads and dense jungles.

"When dawn comes, I can help you deal with some weak escapees, but if you fail in the middle, I will leave immediately and will not save you." The uncle explained his arrangement.

"Understood." Lorraine Hill nodded.

Afterwards, the two familiarized themselves with the surrounding areas, and observed the patrol pattern of the camp below at night, then ate some dry food and rested.

The next night, there were a few floating clouds in the sky, and the stars flickered in it.

Standing on the top of a high mountain, Lorraine Hill overlooked the dense jungle below, and a few lights appeared among them. If they were not observing nearby, but in the sky, they might be ignored.

These people are careful, even when cooking, they use the stove and try to minimize the fire and smoke.

The girl evaluated in her heart, and then checked the equipment on her lower body.

The short brown cloak, the handy iron sword, the kerosene used to comfort the hunter uncle, the potion, the face towel to block the poisonous gas, the dagger in the boots, etc. are all available.

Actually, she could take these out from the storage space at will, but in order not to surprise the uncle hunter, she had to cover it up a bit, trying to look reasonable.

After checking, she gestured to the uncle hunter in the distance behind her, and then turned around.

Okay, let's get started.

Form, black hair and red eyes; code name, burner; let's go!

The girl leaped lightly, and jumped directly from the hundreds of meters high mountain peak under the surprised gaze of the uncle.

The turbulent airflow passed through the cloak, making a whirring sound, and Lorraine Hill opened his hands to embrace the oncoming atmosphere.

Like a swallow returning to the forest, when she reached the canopy of the forest, she bent slightly, then pulled out the long sword from her waist, and disappeared in the forest like a ghost.

The patrolling guard fell to the ground without any reaction.

The iron armor rubbed against the trees and grass leaves on the ground, and the torch in his hand fell on the road, smashing out broken sparks and becoming dim.

In some hidden corners, there was also a sound of falling treetops.

Along the way, no matter the guards on the bright side or the secret sentries hiding in the shadows, they were all quickly cleared by this girl.

The impromptu created iron sword quickly harvested lives one by one. For these organizations that grow psychedelic addictive drugs, the girl is adhering to the lessons of the past and showing no mercy.

When the iron sword was swung, the warm blood turned into fine blood droplets and scattered, some of which were attached to the blade, forming a thin smear of bright red.

After temporarily changing to Demon Sequence, the efficiency of girl killing has increased a lot. Although there is only Demon Sequence 4, compared to the poetic skills and grand spells of Natural Sequence, Demon Sequence is indeed more convenient and suitable.

The clear pupils turned into transparent red, walking through the firelight, the body rotated and moved with the dance of the iron sword, and the hair was scattered in the night wind.

Because she didn't use much magic power, and didn't use the surrounding mana condensed weapons on a large scale, this kind of action was very secretive. Even if she walked into the main entrance of this base step by step, the extraordinary people inside didn't notice it. Case.

Two more guards in full armor fell slowly, and blood slowly flowed from the armor.

Lorraine Hill raised his feet, jumped lightly across the ground, sensed the situation inside, and continued to search forward.

A pale, skinny alchemist in a dark green robe is still soaking in the laboratory. Bottles and jars of soaking materials can be seen everywhere in the room, some of which are plants, and some of the internal organs of certain creatures It is difficult for ordinary people to adapt.

Hearing the door creaking open, he rubbed his messy scalp and shouted impatiently.

"How many times have I told you, don't bother me, and how do you have a key, I obviously locked two layers of locks."

Seeing that there was no reply from behind, the alchemist finally turned around.

"Why don't you leave..." Looking at this strange masked girl, a surprised expression finally appeared on his face.

The girl stood quietly. Although the face scarf looked ugly, her red eyes were indeed so beautiful, her jet-black hair hung behind her, and she held a blood-stained iron sword in her hand.

"You are... wait a minute, aren't you from here?" The alchemist was surprised, and finally remembered something, and hurriedly picked up the medicine bottle hanging from his clothes and waist.

However, a bloodstain flashed past, and he only felt a pain in his hand before losing consciousness.

Immediately, the **** iron sword was placed on the neck, and the alchemist could probably feel the cold and cool iron taste even without tongue licking.

"Calm down, calm down, don't kill me, I can serve you, believe me, it will be more beneficial for you if I live, I'm definitely a chicken that can lay golden eggs for you." He could only feel the heart beating violently in his chest , quickly search for words and sentences.

"I ask, you answer." The blade in the girl's hand was very stable, so stable that the alchemist was a little desperate.

This is probably an extremely powerful swordsman.

"No problem, you say...no...you say." His voice trembled.

"The name of the organization behind you, what is the purpose?"

"Organization, what organization...ah, no, no, let me think about it...Actually, we don't have a specific name, because the boss said that if there is a name, it will be noticed and identified, so Cannot have a name."

The girl blinked, then stared at the terrified alchemist again.

"The purpose?...The purpose is to make money, and then wait for an opportunity to get the title of nobleman. Anyway, that's what the boss said. Everyone is doing it for money and profit. There is no terrible purpose."

"Who is the boss?"

"The boss is a very mysterious person, he seems to know a lot of things, and he can always find a lot of good things."

Seeing that the girl still did not blink, the alchemist swallowed and continued.

"The boss has at least the strength of Sequence 6. He is very strong. We don't know what he looks like. He always wears a mask. This place is established by the boss."

"Are there any other bases or strongholds?"

"This... I don't know, I usually just test new medicines here, I don't know about other things."

"Who are other great people?"

"And..."

In the laboratory, Lorraine Hill sensed the other party's emotions and expressions, quickly analyzed whether the other party was lying, and then asked one by one until an exclamation broke the silence.

"Help, there is... an enemy attack!" A panicked voice came from the end of the alley in the stronghold.

It seems that there is no time, the girl thought silently, and then swung a sword, the alchemist who made the hallucinogenic and addictive potion slowly fell down, and then the killing in the stronghold continued again.

When it was almost dawn, a fire started in the forest and gradually spread. In addition to the choking smell of burning smoke, there was also a strange fragrance in the air, which made many animals breathe faster and their bodies tremble and roll.

In the flames, the big tree fell slowly and smashed into the stronghold, bringing up a large area of ​​floating sparks, which was extremely bright even in the daytime, and the heat wave spread, making the wind in the forest a little hot.

In the stronghold where the flames and wind fluttered, a girl walked out slowly. The improvised iron sword had been thrown into the sea of ​​flames, and there were still dried blood stains on the gloves with exposed fingers. Her expression was steady and firm.

"It's neat and beautiful."

Beside the road, the uncle stood under a tree and gave a thumbs up.

"For my own safety, I think it's time for me to leave this place. I don't know if there is any place recommended by the guests." He looked at the quiet girl who had finished the killing, her black hair blowing in the hot wind. Fluttering gently, the slender figure is so moving.

....

"So that's how it is~IndoMTL.com~Longjiao province, I understand, I'll go after that."

"Then, see you next time." After finishing speaking, the superb hunter took a few steps back and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Looking at the retreating figure, Lorraine Hill wasn't worried that the other party would leak the secret, after all, he didn't know too much information.

Besides, 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. Market, so also concentrated a lot of workshops.

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

Time to get in touch.
