She Is Not a Witch Chapter 1: Kaleidoscopic era

The wind blows up the sails, and the mast makes a slight creaking sound, and the sea boat heaves and falls from time to time in the waves.

In the quiet cabin, Lorraine Hill was wearing pajamas, sitting on the bed, slowly flipping through the booklet in his hand. This is the House Newspaper of the Plantagenet Dynasty, printed by the organization under the Chun lawsuit, and distributed to all states and counties , to announce some major events in the court.

Compared to the raging wars and changes in the Western Continent, the East is a little more stable. Among the major events in recent years, the more important ones are several natural disasters, such as the cold disaster that swept across the northern hemisphere a few years ago, and the disasters in various states. Droughts and floods.

Although some losses were caused, they were smoothed out one by one with the power accumulated by the Plantagenet Dynasty for many years, and did not cause too much turmoil.

In terms of society, due to the industrialization of the Western Continent, some alchemy machinery was introduced to some coastal areas and absorbed by the locals, but the current scale is not large and has not spread to the central part.

In terms of more details, Lorraine Hill doesn't know. After all, the Dibao is only a general report, and many of the contents are inferred by the girl from the minutiae.

She put down the booklet in her hand, and looked at the round window on the side of the cabin. The sky outside was a bit gloomy, and it was raining lightly.

These weather has lasted for several days, and the girl can even smell the slightly musty damp smell in the cabin. Every morning and when it gets dark, she can still hear the sound of the crew scooping up water for about a day. Twice, move the accumulated water that has infiltrated the cabin out of the boat.

After that, the sporadic rain outside slowly stopped, and Lorraine Hill also took off her pajamas, put on a clean Yuebai skirt, and walked out of the room.

Lanterns have been lit in the corridor of the cabin. The four-cornered palace lantern made of special materials, with a big candle burning inside, illuminates the slightly dim interior of the cabin.

The treasure ship that Lorraine Hill was riding on was built by the government of the dynasty, Xia’s subordinate organization - Haigongfang. It is about 160 meters long and eight stories high. It is strong and airtight. sunk.

The core of this fleet is these seven large treasure ships, and the other sixteen are long-sailing sea-going ships, each about 80 meters long, carrying a large amount of cargo and food.

During ocean voyages, large ships are more resistant to wind and waves and are more stable, so the ships traveling between the east and west continents will not be small. A few days before going to sea, Lorraine Hill had seen the iron-clad ships of the Western Continent from a distance on the route, which was slightly smaller than the treasure ship he was on today.

According to the captain, although there are many such ironclad ships in the Western Continent, they are very rare in the endless sea, and they seldom go on ocean voyages. This is because the hull is very heavy, it is difficult to rely on sails, and the consumption of coal is huge. , It is not cost-effective to travel between the East and West continents.

There are still a few vortexes left in the endless sea, and there are few supply places, and those islands can provide some fresh water and food. It is impossible to supply a large amount of coal, and carrying it by yourself will take up a lot of cargo space. , making less money for one trip, so there are still mostly sailing ships at sea.

Walking through the long corridor, the girl could hear sounds from some rooms, some were sleeping sounds, and there was the sound of cooking not far away. There was a dining place, and the crew would take turns to eat.

"Hello, Your Royal Highness." Walking on the road, several sergeants in scale armor greeted the girl.

They are the guards on the ship, they are not weak, and they are also government personnel, which are different from ordinary crew members.

"You are here to eat." The girl nodded in response.

"Yes, we are making red shrimp bibimbap tonight. It tastes very good. You can try it, Your Highness." Several people talked about the dishes for tonight, and recommended them to the girl.

There are more than 300 members on a large treasure ship, and they actually consume a lot of food every day, and this kind of big ship has a little more tricks. Some ordinary sea ships can have some vegetables in the soup. is good too.

"Thanks, I see."

Later, Lorraine Hill took a look when passing by the restaurant, but did not go in, but went directly to the upper floor. She is not hungry now, and there are quite a lot of people in the restaurant, so she wants to go there later when there are fewer people.

When you come to the hall where the captain is, you can see the captain in black armor talking to the people around him.

"I will probably arrive at the triple vortex sea area tonight, so don't fall asleep when you are down, and send a few more people to watch the night."

"Yes, my lord. Don't worry, we are all veterans, and we have traveled this road many times."

"I know, otherwise I would have come to watch the night." The captain waved his hand, and then added.

"It's almost time to arrive at the Pearl Islands. Let's work hard for a few days, and then I'll let you relax."

"Understood, my lord."

After several people explained some things, the captain was reminded by others that Lorraine Hill was coming.

He waved the people around him to step back, and then walked over quickly.

"Your Highness, you are here."

Although he is the captain of this fleet, he is not a little bit different from the witch who was appointed by the dynasty. What's more, the aura of this highness witch is unpredictable, which is far from anyone on the fleet. rivaled.

"Well, it's okay." The girl shook her head first, and then asked about the matter just now.

"Is the Pearl Islands coming soon?"

"Yes, it will probably arrive in the day after tomorrow. At present, we have to pass through the three vortex sea area, which is a relatively complicated sea area before the Pearl Islands. There are large and two small vortex distributions in it, and sea ships need to follow a specific route. Walk through."

"Understood, there is nothing else, you can go to your own business first."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Afterwards, Lorraine Hill boarded the lower deck of the cabin from the side steps, stood by the railing and looked at the distant sea, watching the sky gradually turning into lavender.

"It's getting dark."

She turned around and leaned lightly on the railing, letting the wind blow her clothes, feeling the coolness of the approaching night.

The black hair brushed against the cheeks, bringing a little itchy feeling, and the sail above the head creaked from time to time as it swung, and the slightly depressed mood in the cabin before became cheerful and comfortable.

'Come out and blow some air, it really feels much more comfortable. ’

Lorland Hill, who was in a much better mood, opened his eyes again, then raised his fingers, looking at the distant sky between his fingers.

'I don't know how the people over there are now. At that time, I said that I would go back in ten years. It has been more than ten years now. ’ Lorraine Hill recalled pictures of the past in his mind.

There are scenes where I walk out of the deep mountains ignorantly and walk through Leixia Ze, and there are also scenes of traveling alone, passing through Yanyu Island, and over the Suiyan Mountains, and then I practice in the Xiangyu School, and then go to the Ximu Mountains the past.

The Eastern Continent has very different customs and customs from the Western Continent. Even the titles of Transcendent Sequences are different. The cultures of various ethnic groups and states are also different. The history of the Plantagenet Dynasty is actually slightly longer than that of the Green Empire. Shorter, in the distant past, there were countries that were subordinate to the five phoenixes, and they were unified later.

The immortals and Chifeng made an alliance on the mountain of the Yellow Sea, and the dynasty ruled the world with the officials of the four seasons. Even so, there are still many remote areas that the power of the dynasty cannot reach, such as the depths of the Seven Continents of Qilei in the past, Ximu mountains, etc.

Compared to the Western Continent, the Eastern Continent has a more special geographical environment because of the dragon veins, and Mana and magic power are more active, which is why there are many monsters and monsters.

Now that the Western Continent has taken action, it is not so urgent to reform the Eastern Continent. Anyway, with the subsequent exchanges, technology, ideas, etc. will spread sooner or later.

Going back to the Eastern Continent this time, Lorraine Hill mainly wanted to explore the great caves and blessed places, that is, the various subspaces that were born next to the dragon veins, to find out whether there are any relics and materials left by past humans.

Actually, she really wanted to know where the rest of the members of God Winged Sun went after the confrontation between the Sun Crown and the Moon Crown, and why in today's world, they are nowhere to be seen, only some leftover arrangements, For example, the two races of elves and goblins, the sleeping angel army in the subspace, and so on.

Among the seven virtues, there should be four other than Michael, Laguiel, and Feral. What kind of paths have they each taken?

In the end, who put herself in the forest and then woke up. According to the past history, as one of the pillars of the Sun Throne, she should have passed away in that upheaval.

Different from Cloyati and Sifnerian, she did not feel the traces of the shattered power, and she was still so complete, as if she had never encountered the tyrannical disaster that swept across the sea of ​​Ajaka.

The dust of history has buried too much truth and the past, which makes Lorraine Hill look like a flower in a fog, very unreal, especially the last scene of the ancients.

'I kind of want to know. ’ Lorraine Hill murmured softly.

Before you know it, the sunset glow in the sky has completely sunk into the night, faint stars appear in the sky, and the sea has also entered a dark tranquility, only the orange lights flickering in the waves, telling each other's position , and these lights also represent each member of the fleet.

"It's time to go eat."

After recalling some past events, Lorraine Hill woke up from his memory, gathered the hair behind him again, tied it up, and walked down the stairs on the deck.

Different from the bustling scenes before, the restaurant was much quieter now, with only sporadic crew members dining.

For Yeling, there's no need to call her. Lorraine Hill decided not to call her as she thought of the sleepy little dragon girl.

Ever since boarding the ship, Ye Ling was very interested in it a few days ago, but after a few days, she began to feel bored, and then she slept in the room every day, even Dai Ju was pulled by her as a pillow, for several days didn't come out.

"Is there anything else to eat now?" Lorraine Hill came to the window.

"It's Your Majesty Miko. We can cook whatever you want. In fact, the dishes are basically cold. You need to heat up everything you order. You also need to light a fire. It's the same."

"Okay, let me see."

Lorraine Hill looked at the recipe handed over by the chef, and ordered a light fish soup and rice after a while.

"Okay, just wait a moment, it will be fine soon."

The chef asked the apprentice beside him to light up the fire in the furnace, and quickly prepared the side dishes and condiments. After a while, a hot cod soup and rice were placed on the table.

After the meal, Lorraine Hill went into the room and slept, spending a peaceful night.

In the next two days, the fleet traveled through the heavy rain and the vortex, and the waves rolled and rolled all the way. It was not until the third day that they left the sea area where the vortex was located that they gradually encountered sunny weather.

During the past two days, Ye Ling, who was sleeping soundly, was also woken up from her room. Afterwards, she did not stay idle, and directly turned into a giant dragon, went to the sea to bathe and swim, and then helped the captain They check and look after any departing ships.

On the fourth day, the fleet finally docked at the port of the Pearl Islands, and they can rest and relax for a few days.

"Huh, finally landed, (*^▽^*)~" Yeling trotted all the way, jumped off the high deck, landed directly on the pier, and then looked at the harbor.

Compared to the scene when Lorraine Hill went to sea back then, this place has undoubtedly become much more prosperous. Not only has the harbor expanded a lot, but the ships docked in it are also very different. There are small longships, including iron-clad black ships from the Western Continent, and disc-shaped giant ships made of special materials. Such sea ships are shaped like round sea turtles, without sails, and are surrounded by oars that can be moved.

Different from other ships, this sea ship is an exploration ship used to sail in dangerous sea areas with dense eddies and extremely changing currents. Its function is to go deep into dangerous sea areas and find stable routes.

"Beep—" The steam ironclad ship in the distance exhausted the gas from the internal boiler, making a long sound.

After getting off the treasure ship, Lorraine Hill felt that there were a lot of fine cinders on the pier under his feet. The fine black powder was not easy to wash off.

Looking into the distance inside the island, you can still see two chimneys standing tall, emitting thick black smoke.

The shops on the street were crowded with people, most of them were sailors who disembarked and came to eat or drink tea.

Compared to the conservative, introverted, and quiet scenery of the inland, the seaport cities with developed commerce and trade have a more open and rough wharf culture. Many workers carrying goods at the wharf will be shirtless, stand next to the tea shop to drink water, and then wipe their sweat with a towel on their shoulders.

"Steam tea, delicious and novel steam tea~"

In front of a shop on the side of the street, there is a big guy of bronze metal, which is like a ball as a whole, with a support for burning firewood underneath, several rivet gauges on the top, and several protruding gauges on the top of the head. The nut caps, one of which was still jacked up, were constantly rotating, making regular whistle sounds.

Looking at this slightly novel alchemy creation, Lorraine Hill couldn't help walking over, but at this time someone was already asking in front of the booth.

"How do you sell this, or what exactly is it?" Passing customers asked curiously.

"Hey, I won't be able to explain this clearly for a while, just look at it. It's not expensive, five copper horns for a cup." After finishing speaking, the man placed six cups in front of the case, and then unscrewed the ancient From the small faucet next to the big belly of the bronze creature, a stream of boiling liquid sprayed out.

The strong man skillfully held the cups alternately, filled each one, and then turned off the faucet with a quick twist.

The six cups in front of me are currently filled with amber tea, and the air is also filled with a hot and refreshing tea fragrance. Looking inside the cup, there are countless tiny bubbles floating and bursting, expulsing More aroma.

"Look, everyone, this is our unique steam tea. It has an extraordinary taste. Drink it while it's hot and bubbled, and enjoy it like a fairy." He boasted, and then attracted more people's attention.

Many people saw this thing for the first time, and they were very surprised and novel. Many people also started to spend money to taste it, and then showed a surprised expression.

"How about it, is it worth it!"

"It's worth it! It's really fresh." Several guests replied with their mouths smashed.

"Very, good, drink." One of the businessmen from the Western Continent also gave a thumbs up.

Looking at this scene, Lorraine Hill, who was standing behind the crowd, showed a funny expression.

How should I put this, it's like mixing soda and tea together, it seems a little nondescript to her, but in the eyes of these people now, it may be novel and acceptable?

New technologies can always bring new ideas. Although most of them are similar to the past historical trajectory, there will always be unexpected developments~IndoMTL.com~ Maybe in the future, Coca-Cola has not become popular yet. Planting soda tea is a step ahead.

Lowering the sun hat on his head, Lorraine Hill, who was wearing a light green dress, slowly retreated from the crowd.

"Sister Lolan, where did you go just now?" Ye Ling found the girl in the crowd at this time, she ran first by herself just now.

"I went to see something new, let's go, let's go shopping first, the fleet will stay here for a few days."

I have to say that in the harbor of the Pearl Islands, there is a scene that makes people feel a huge sense of fragmentation. You can see oriental women in skirts, elves in hunting suits in short skirts, western mercenaries in breastplates or busts, and oriental warriors in scale armor and carrying maces on their backs. There are alchemists with monocles and various metal gadgets, and practitioners with fluttering clothes and warm jade.

In this era when technology has not yet fully diffused and cultures have not fully communicated with each other, this kind of coexistence of old and new, and the short time when various cultures coexist, are like a kaleidoscope, colorful and vivid.
