She Is Not a Witch Chapter 344: Crying Frozen Green Witch
The ancient capital of eternal rime, Titania.
This city built by humans and elves in the past is now shrouded in a lingering cold mist, hazy and indistinct, and only the outline of the city wall and the corroded and weathered gates can be seen from a distance. Intricate patterns, flowers and vines, the moon and thorns, the patterns symbolizing the Green Empire still remain on it, silently telling its ancient history.
The two of Lorraine Hill and Vimiya fell from the high sky and slowly landed under the huge bronze door. Looking up at the magnificent pattern, they felt the silence of the city.
"It's just a few years away, but it seems like hundreds of years have passed."
Lorraine Hill pressed his hand on the cold metal door, and with the penetration of magic power, the complicated patterns on the gate were lit up one by one, and then the door was slowly pulled up, revealing the inside Streets that have been closed for a long time.
"Two years ago, the conservative faction of the forest elves sent people in here, but no one returned them, and they stopped sending people to try again." Lorraine Hill and Vimiya talked about the news she knew .
"Be careful this time too." Vimiya nodded. Today she was wearing a blue and black dress, her legs were all wrapped in black silk, which made her look easy to move, and her blue hair was on her head. The back dish is covered with a layer of pearl gauze, and only two strands fall from the ear side, which contrasts with the white collarbone.
After the two stepped into Titania, an extremely cold breath hit their faces. There seemed to be water mist with extremely low temperature in the air. If ordinary people inhaled it, even their lungs would be frostbitten and freeze.
Fortunately, the two witches are related to the atmosphere and water, and the weak swirling airflow surrounds them to filter the overly humid air.
The street was empty and cold, with no pedestrians, no sound, not even ants. The bustling main road in the past was extremely empty, forming a huge gap with the scenery in memory.
The two walked on the street and looked around, and then went into the houses and mansions to check, and saw a different scene.
The residents of the city still maintain their daily movements, but their entire bodies have been turned into ice sculptures, motionless.
Like overnight, the extremely low temperature swept across the entire city, turning this huge city of more than 2 million people into a dead silence.
After leaving the mansion, Lorraine Hill and Vimiya simply flew at low altitude to inspect the surrounding situation and found more ice sculptures. Soldiers on the battlefield still maintain the state of fighting the enemy.
Undoubtedly, their lives are all frozen at this moment, falling into a state of immortality. If these ice sculptures are melted rashly, they will flow into the sewer like snow and disappear without a trace.
The Witch of Immortal Frozen Green, Korros, is really an appropriate title.
Frozen green is a special evergreen plant, which symbolizes the magic power of life in folklore in the empire, and the source of the story is the ageless girl who walked on the snow thousands of years ago. Accompanied by animals, it is a fairy or **** walking in the world, and will give blessings to people walking in the snowy night.
If you are lucky enough to meet this girl in the forest, you only need to ask her piously, and she will give you the frozen green branch that brings blessings, and then the people who get the frozen green branch will return home. Frozen green is woven into a ring and hung on the door for blessings.
This kind of behavior gradually spread, and later merged with other customs, and finally gradually formed the winter festival celebration in a broad sense. Emenas' annual winter festival party also came from this.
Compared to other witches who brought disasters, this frozen green witch is undoubtedly kind and friendly in the legend. Therefore, in the spread of the story, the title of witch was gradually removed and changed to the one in the snow. Frozen young girl.
Recalling the legend about Korros in their minds, Lorraine Hill and Vemia approached the center of Titania step by step, which is where the Rose Palace is located.
The place where the emperors and royal families lived in the past is undoubtedly located in the center of the city layout. There are several layers of palaces and city walls inside and outside, and it is gorgeous and deep.
Central Plaza.
Thousands of ice sculptures of guards and knights still stand here. They are neatly lined up, burly, and well-trained. It can be seen that even when Titania is about to fall, there are still a group of loyal The guards guard this place.
Even after several turmoil and changes, the green royal family still has a very high reputation in the empire, and countless families follow and attach to it. This kind of consensus has not been destroyed after the fall of Titania, so even the Griffin The Grand Duke also had to support the two empresses first, and slowly replaced the royal family's position in a curved manner.
Passing by the tall ice sculptures, Lorraine Hill and Vimiya seemed to be walking through the forest made of ice, and then entered the deep palace filled with rime.
Compared to the outside world, these extremely cold ice fog greatly hindered the girl's perception, making it impossible for Lorraine Hill to see through the situation inside the Rose Palace at a glance.
The ground under their feet was covered with hoarfrost, and the two of them made a slight sound when they stepped on it, and then left faint footprints.
The further you go in, the colder the air will be. Even Lorraine Hill has to open a larger spherical air shield to isolate the eternally frozen rime.
Passing through the throne room for discussion, and crossing the emperor's residence and garden, the two walked in step by step until they stopped in front of a high tower.
There was a slight weeping sound from the ice fog in front, it seemed to be the sound of tears falling to the ground, and then formed into ice beads, which was very clear in the silent environment.
Vimiya held Lorraine Hill's nervous hand, and the two walked in together.
The thick fog broke away layer by layer, and the scenery in front of me gradually revealed.
A maid with silver-purple hair knelt on the ground, and on her lap lay a teenager who had fallen asleep.
The slender fingers stretched out from the cuffs, slowly stroking the cold cheeks, the tears, like beans, slowly slid and fell, and fell on the stone floor beside him.
Behind the maid, there is a half-melted ice sculpture, with one hand leaning forward, as if trying to grab something, but most of the upper body is melted, and the face is already unknown, but judging from the dress, It should be the same maid outfit as the previous one.
Standing in front of this silver-purple-haired maid, the two stopped. Although they had never seen it before, they already understood that this was the immortal witch, Korros.
The slight weeping continued, and Korross knelt on the ground without looking up.
Looking at the sad scene in front of him, Lorraine Hill sighed slightly, then stepped forward a few steps, and slowly squatted down.
"Maybe he can still be saved, because you gave him a part of the power."
The reason why the new emperor Elio was able to kill the regent Edron in the battle that day was because of this almost immortality.
"It's useless, I can't give him the world he wants, he must hate me because I cheated him."
Koros raised her head, the petite witch who used to be extremely willful now had tears on her face, she was extremely weak.
"In fact, I can't save Anna, I can't save the empire, and I can't even save him, but I really like this child and want to present him with a beautiful world and watch him become a mature and powerful king step by step. "
"However, Kerros failed, and Elio was angry with me. He hated me, hated me, and refused to wake up." The witch who was hit wiped her tears and said sadly words.
Is that so? From the sporadic words of Korros, Lorraine Hill guessed the story between the young emperor and the witch.
Although Elio is the emperor of the empire, Lorraine Hill doesn't hate or dislike him, on the contrary, he has a little liking for him.
When the southern border was undecided, it was the will of the new emperor to quickly stabilize the southern border and return it to the leadership of the Dryas. This greatly reduced conflicts and left precious time for the subsequent development of the southern border. .
Different from previous imperial emperors, Elio was born as a commoner emperor. His early experience of extreme poverty made him deeply sympathize with the lower classes of the empire. Do your best to improve the situation at the bottom.
It's a pity that fate doesn't favor the emperor, or in other words, the complicated form in the empire doesn't allow such easy changes.
It's not that there are no smart people in the empire who saw the changes in Clancia and the southern border, but even if they saw them, they could only barely imitate them and could not change them completely, because the aristocratic system is the foundation and skeleton of the empire, and changing would mean suicide .
People cannot stand up without the ground under their feet, and the same is true within the empire.
The northern border suffered a disaster, the southern border became independent, the eastern border was unaffected, and a rebellion broke out in the western border, and the imperial family gradually fell in this all-out conflict.
If Elio was not the emperor of the empire, he might be able to jump out of this vicious cycle. However, if he were not the emperor, he would not have come to Titania. Live an ordinary and difficult life.
Comforting the frozen witch softly, Lorraine Hill touched the boy's forehead with his fingers to sense his situation.
Just like what Korros said, his soul did not disperse, but turned into a mist, rolling and tumbling, refusing to gather again. It seems that only in this way can we avoid the cruel and desperate world.
After a while, Lorraine Hill slowly opened his eyes and looked at the still sleeping boy.
After meditating for a while, Lorraine Hill stretched out his hand again, and a bunch of purple lotus flowers emerged in his hand. This is the lotus flower of nightmares he got from Tehua.
For the still unconscious boy, she did not choose the lotus flower representing the dream, but gave the lotus flower representing the nightmare.
For those who are in a desperate situation, sometimes it is a kind of harm to give illusory beauty and hope. The more beautiful, the more distant, the more untouchable, the more sad.
So, let's just experience the pain, the real pain, the cruel reality.
This will indeed be more uncomfortable, but once you have experienced a more dangerous environment and world, you will gradually find that what you have experienced in the past is far from the saddest time, and compared to the eternal darkness In such a cruel reality, there is still some real possibility.
The lotus flower of the nightmare turned into shimmering particles, merged into the tumbling mist, soaked it, and then it surged more intensely, as if it was struggling and crying, weeping and weeping.
Looking at this scene, Lorraine Hill lightly raised his palm, soaked in gentle and clear magic power, clarifying his body and mind and consciousness.
The fog is still rolling, and the struggle and crying are still going on, but there is a little more roar and unwillingness in it.
Gradually, the fog began to shrink and condense. Although the degree of churning has not weakened, it seems to be much more condensed than before.
Slowly, the mist shrinks and condenses in the churning, and finally converges abruptly, forming a hazy human shape again.
Seeing this scene, Korross opened her mouth in a daze, and then wept with joy and hugged the young man.
"Elio, you're awake, woohoo, Korros is wrong, please forgive me, I can be your maid for the rest of my life."
The young man slowly opened his eyes in Korros' arms, looking at the gray sky above his head, his eyes were quiet, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't speak after all.
After a long time, he slowly stood up from Keruosi's arms, looked at the silver-purple witch who shed tears for him, shook his head slightly, and then stroked the tears on the girl's cheeks.
"Okay, don't cry, Koros."
"If you cry again, you will be like a cat. A maid like you is unqualified, far inferior to Sister Anna."
"Well, don't cry anymore." Korros obediently wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and then stood beside him.
Afterwards, Elio turned around and looked at the two girls.
"Hello, I'm Elio, who are you two?"
"I'm Lorraine Hill, and this is Vimiya." The girl introduced herself.
"So it's the witch of stars and miracles, no wonder." His voice was full of emotion.
"I'm making you laugh, I'm such an ugly person." He turned his eyes and looked at the surroundings and the sky. Although he still didn't know what happened after he jumped off the tower, it was definitely not a good thing matter.
"Is the empire still there?" Finally he asked hesitantly.
"It is still there, but it is ruled by two queens, the former Princess Evelyn and Princess Tesslin."
"Those two aunts...they must be more suitable than me." Elio felt relieved.
"However, the empire has also entered the countdown to destruction, and the two empresses are nothing more than puppets in the hands of the great nobles."
"Really, it's still the same..." he repeated.
"What about you, Your Highness Lorraine Hill, I have heard about your deeds a long time ago, are you ready to overthrow the entire empire?"
"Yes, in fact, this time is also for this purpose." Lorraine Hill replied.
"It's time to end, time is moving forward, no matter how much you like and unforgettable people, you can only put them in the cupboard behind you and watch them from afar."
"It was my obsession that bothered Korros. In order to make me feel at ease, she 'resurrected' Sister Anna. At that time, I was amazed at the magic of the witch, and felt a kind of strong self-confidence."
"Maybe I can bring some change to this country."
"However, I woke up from the dream very quickly. The reform of the former Amanke brothers was actually the most ideal result under the original structure, but I thought more, and the result broke the balance, and the conflict could not be suppressed. , and later reaped the consequences."
"Sister 'Anna' is just a puppet made by Koros. Although Koros disguised it very well, I finally found out."
"Actually, the real sister Anna is not so good. She occasionally feels silly and sad, sometimes she feels uncomfortable, and when she is upset, she doesn't even want to talk to me, and she will teach me loudly, asking me to learn A skill or something."
"But the 'Anna' sister made by Kross is too perfect, and finally made me realize the illusion in it, so sad that it is even more sad to be together."
After saying this, he tried to walk out of the courtyard again, wanting to see the city.
Knowing Elio's thoughts, Korross lifted him up, and lifted him up to the sky, and the scene of the whole city was also reflected in his eyes.
"Is this all made by Koros?" He asked the silver-purple haired maid beside him.
"...Yes, yes." Uneasy and hesitant, the maid answered in a low voice.
"Can it be lifted, let everyone return to the original state."
"Should work."
"Let's get started."
"Yes, my master." The witch closed her eyes and muttered softly, the ancient empty ballad echoed in this dead city.
Slowly the rime dissipated, the gray color of the sky dissipated, the brilliant and bright sunlight gradually shone into the city, and the still figures on the street gradually regained their colors.
In the end, there was a slight commotion in the city, which spread quickly.
"Where is this, where?"
"What happened."
"What a strange feeling."
People were discussing with each other, and the soldiers who had fought before looked at each other in astonishment and checked the surrounding situation.
"Sure enough, she is a miraculous witch. Lorraine can always do things we can't imagine."
In the tall clock tower, two witches looked at the scene in the city. One was wearing a pink and white dress, and the other was like a delicate doll, sitting on a high chair.
"The flowers in her hand were given by Tehua, even I have never seen them before, so I can only guess based on my vague perception." Si Ye looked at the distant figures.
"It seems so. When I snatched Kitty back that time, I saw similar flowers, but it didn't seem to have such a function at that time." Chris recalled the past.
"It's probably the result of Luolan helping Tehua to cultivate~IndoMTL.com~You know, she is very good at this. At that time, the extraordinary fruit of the Tisilan Mountains surprised many people."
"Yes, I didn't expect this junior to grow up in the blink of an eye."
"Now that they have solved Titania's seal, our whereabouts should be exposed." Chris looked at the petite witch beside her.
"Get ready for battle, Si Ye."
After speaking, a silver mirror suddenly appeared in the air, and then it was torn apart, revealing the cat-eared figure behind the broken silver mirror.
The usually beautiful blue pupils turned into wandering red lights, accompanied by the rapid afterimage, the slender fingers were like sharp claws, tore the silver mirror to pieces, and went straight to the two people in the clock tower.
