She Is Not a Witch Chapter 104: The river that flows gold never turns dark

"Hi everyone, this is the scene of the Luojing Meteor Contest. What I'm showing you now is the opening ceremony of the final."

Riding in a flexible aircraft, a pair of male and female hosts introduced the opening ceremony of the night. This video will be recorded and then broadcast all over the country for people to enjoy.

Under the bird's-eye view of the night sky, the whole of Luojing is brightly lit. Neon light strips are all over the eaves and buildings in the city, outlining this grand night scene. Pedestrians on the street and people flying in the sky from time to time can be seen everywhere. dragon shadow.

The old reviewing platform for military inspection has been transformed into today's competition venue, where participating teams from all over the country gather. They wear all kinds of clothes and carry strange-shaped equipment, some with wings, Some are propellers that can rotate, and some are as flat as a boat, which is amazing.

The Meteor Contest is an event held by the country in recent years. Its event is to use some kind of equipment to fight in the air, and the winner is to knock down all the opponents. The competition is limited to transcendents below Sequence 5. If there are high-level transcendents who want to participate, they need to wear a device that specifically limits their strength.

All contestants can use their own modified aircraft. When the aircraft is destroyed or injured to a certain extent, it will be judged to fail and land from the sky. The aircraft has restrictions on weight, materials, and magic power content, which must not exceed the standard.

The purpose of this competition is to discover excellent flying talents and find excellent air combat aircraft templates to prepare for future disasters.

"It has been a year since the last competition, and in the new year, countless geniuses have been born. It is said that at the beginning of the year, there was a young man named Zhai Han from Qibaizhou, who only relied on a flying machine he improved. Jian, won the first place in the preliminary competition, and later got sponsorship from the famous Tianxuan faction, and even won consecutive victories in the subsequent competitions, and was considered the rising star of the finals.”

"In the middle of the year, the famous Four Crystal Leaf Workshop in Baierzhou released their new aircraft 'Ice Roaring Falcon', and asked Yu Linghe, the third runner-up in the previous year's competition, to pilot it. "

"However, the most concerned one today is still the previous champion, Bu Qingfeng from Biluo Xiaoyao Palace, and the 'Sky Sword' series of aircraft he piloted also won the Xia lawsuit award, and now there are even rumors that , will be included in the regular army of the dynasty after being improved, and will attract the envy of countless factions."

…

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's focus on the center of the venue first, we can see that the delegations from all over the place have roughly entered the venue, according to the procedure, tonight there will be a divine bird coming from the mountain of the Yellow Sea The brazier, but it will be the divine bird, which is really exciting.”

The picture turned to the east of the night sky. After the ancient big clock rang three times, a small spot of light began to appear in the night sky of the east, and then it approached rapidly, getting bigger and clearer, until finally It flew over Luojing, and people were able to get a glimpse of the whole picture of this huge strange bird.

Its wingspan is nearly 300 meters, its feathers are bright and different, and it is mainly black vermilion. However, this strange bird did not harm the residents of Luojing, but hovered in the night sky. After doing this for three times, it slowly descended and landed in the huge brazier. Soon after, the vermilion flame rose loudly, reflecting the night sky. .

"This year's divine bird from the mountains of the Yellow Sea is the Nine Phoenix Ghost Car. It is said that this strange bird has been enlightened by His Majesty, and it is also the guardian bird of the mountains at dusk. You need not be afraid." The host continued to explain , Not long after, the different bird took off from the huge brazier again and disappeared into the night sky.

Amidst the brilliant lights, Officer Xia stepped up to the stage, announcing the official opening of the finals of the Meteor Contest. Five-colored fireworks rose slowly from all over Luojing, and then bloomed.

One day passed, and the next night, the official game began.

"The teams from He Xingzhou, Mu Qingzhou, and Donghuzhou will be the first to appear. Five people from each of the three continents, a total of 15 people will go into the air, and then the game will start until there are only three people left on the field."

"Boom!"

With a clear sound, the contestants from various states in the square flew into the sky in various shapes of aircraft, among which some were like balls, with small propellers on both sides imitating airships, and some were behind the contestants , an aircraft that unfolds like a glider, and an aircraft that is shaped like a flying swallow, and the whole person rides in the cockpit.

In the night sky, these aircraft are painted with eye-catching luminous emblems, allowing the audience below to find their hubs and tracks at a glance.

The battle began immediately. At the beginning, naturally, the five people in the continent cooperated with each other to deal with the other two.

For a moment, the sky was full of neon trails across the sky, and the five spheres quickly merged into one when they lifted off, and built an excellent protective cover on the outer layer to prevent being attacked first, and then they flew in the sky. Flying and moving, began to shoot at other opponents, the orange magic power turned into a torrent of high temperature, flashing across the night sky from time to time.

"Now, the East Huzhou team has formed a whole column. They use the 'Barnacle II' aircraft. This aircraft is superior in defense and flexible in flight. It can hover in the air at will."

On the other side of the night sky, He Xingzhou's contestant, who is driving a flying fish-shaped aircraft, swims at high speed in the night sky, avoiding the passing rays. Qingyan, fortunately, their speed is extremely fast, and they will not be hit for a long time.

On the other side, the situation of Mu Qingzhou's team is very special. They first spread the wings of the glider behind them, and then used fuel jets to accelerate their propulsion, approaching the hovering thing at an extremely fast speed. Although the Huzhou team suffered some injuries during the period, it didn't matter. The wings on their backs were originally used as an auxiliary function, and their own propulsion was more of an accelerator behind them.

When approaching the shield, these members unfolded the special magic blade sword in their hands, quickly cut it, the shield in front of them dissipated within a few seconds, and then rushed in.

At this time, the weakness of the Donghuzhou team's aircraft, which is not good at melee combat, was exposed. It was difficult for the pilots in the aircraft to go out to fight. In a short time, the contestants from Mu Qingzhou will eliminate all Donghuzhou.

The only opponent left in the night sky is He Xingzhou who is still wandering around.

The two sides started a wandering battle again, because the propulsion method of both sides is similar to jet, the speed is very fast, but the turning is very slow, and it is often only after several back and forths that there is one or two chances to really fight.

Relying on the machine gun under the cabin and Fei Jin's enchanted bullets fired continuously, He Xingzhou's contestants began to gain the upper hand. They just need to grasp the distance and keep the opponent from getting close.

The competition went on intensely, after which He Xingzhou's contestants eliminated all their opponents, leaving only two scarred flying fish flying in circles in the sky.

"Okay, now the first competition is over, and the two contestants of He Xingzhou are the winners."

…

In the following competitions, new types of aircraft continued to take off, including triangular suits that can be combined freely, magic armor styles that do not affect the pilot's actions, traditional aircraft styles, and rotary cutting The flying saucer style and so on.

Although aircrafts similar to mechanical creations are fast and have powerful weapons, due to energy constraints, they cannot fight in the air for too long. The aircraft is also doomed to have low defense, and it is extremely easy to become cannon fodder and be shot down by the opponent's opening. The choice depends on the arrangement of the contestants.

After entering the new era, this is the third Meteor Competition, and it is also the largest one at present. Almost all states in the world have sent teams to participate in the competition, and the audience is also very enthusiastic. came from outside.

Day four of the competition.

"Ou—" There was a huge cheer from Luo Jingzhong, it turned out that the battle in the sky had reached its most intense part.

Three crimson aircraft were chasing a young man with two huge mechanical wings on his back. The orange rays of light flowed on the mechanical wings, and airflow was ejected under each feather, allowing him to fly The speed keeps increasing. At the same time, the young people below are also maneuvering and rolling in the air from time to time, so as to avoid the three Red Eagle-like aircraft behind them.

After another huge tumbling movement, while the opposite side was climbing and slowing down, he suddenly turned back and went straight down, and then a dark blue light flashed, cutting open a crimson aircraft, revealing the startled and injured pilot.

"The competition is over, and the winners are the two contestants from Beisongzhou and Zhai Han from Qibaizhou." The host said excitedly, because the rules of the competition are as long as the remaining number is less than 3, it will end immediately In this round, this allowed the young man to stop facing other opponents after doing his best.

"So, today's game is over, and tomorrow will start the final final, so please look forward to it." After the voice fell, the night's venue slowly came to an end. Looking at some clips and scenes in the game, some feel regretful and some are excited.

In the depths of the palace, Lorraine Hill sat in front of a soft lampstand, looking at the report in front of him, and when he saw the fireworks rising in the distance, he put down the book in his hand, took a sip of tea from the cup beside him .

The sound insulation effect of the windows and walls is very good. Although the night sky is brilliant, the room is still very quiet. In the small nest on the counter next to it, two birds are squatting together, resting with their eyes closed. One of them occasionally He smashed his mouth, as if he was eating something in a dream.

The cup of persimmon red porcelain was lightly placed on the table. Lorraine Hill looked away from the distant night sky and returned to the paper in front of her. Her slender fingers flipped under the orange light, bringing out A little scrolling sound was clearly audible in this room, although the girl's fingers gradually stopped, looking at a line of names and introductions on the report.

"Candidates for Heavenly Officials...Yu Caifeng, Tang Xiayan, Wu Xingkui..." These are the dozen or so names she listed recently, most of them are outstanding figures among the officials of the four seasons, and some of them are local. Important officials of the state government.

Because the country is gradually on the right track, she is also preparing to retire and delegate power. Of course, it is not a sudden decentralization, but a gradual one. Slowly let the country and people get used to her absence, and then downplay the influence of Phoenix .

It is impossible for her to be the actual leader of the country all the time. This is not a good thing. Just like people need normal metabolism, the top officials of the country should also have a metabolism mechanism, otherwise they will always be those people, and they will only be like a pool of stagnant water Like, slowly decaying.

Even a witch who is immortal is not suitable to be the direct leader of the country. As an intelligent life, she will get tired and change, and being suitable now does not mean that she will be suitable forever. It can affect the situation of the country, but there is no reason to directly become a consul, Si Ye, Tides, Su Qin, etc., are all like this.

"I feel a little difficult to choose." Lorraine Hill put down the report, sighed softly, leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes to rest, her white gauze dress reflected a little golden light in the light Halo, this is because some special silver threads are used in the skirt, which keeps it gorgeous while being simple as a whole.

"However, you should make up your mind, and plan to go to the South Pole next year." She whispered softly, and then took a nap on the back of the chair with her head tilted.

Over the years, she has also been a little tired. In fact, she was going to sleep for a few years to recover, but she persisted.

Time passed quietly, and the midsummer passed in a blink of an eye, and then came the Qiuyue Lantern Festival.

After staying away from the heat of midsummer, the autumn wind blows gently, and the interior of Luojing is once again decorated with lanterns and festoons. The banks of the big river flowing through Luojing are also covered with various lanterns and special threads.

Travelers and pedestrians from other places began to pour into the city to attend the most important event of the year for the Eastern Dynasty.

At night, the night market on the street becomes more lively, crowded with people everywhere, everyone talking and laughing, walking past the stalls, looking at the various lanterns hanging on the street, and bursts of fireworks rising above their heads.

All kinds of floats dragged by giant dragons pass by in an orderly manner in the sky, slowly flying around the whole city, let the performances and decorations on the floats allow more people to see the golden ocean below In the middle, there were bursts of cheers from time to time.

At one end of the Golden Nightless River, a heavy dragon boat slowly enters the water, and then floats steadily on the water. The neon lights and lanterns hanging on the dragon boat make it gorgeous and solemn. The whining of the six horns was a little low, like the humming of a giant bull. Slowly, the dragon boat began to move downstream along the Buye River, and the residents on the banks along the way also watched the slow dragon boat bow and salute.

Nowadays, kneeling has been completely abolished in the dynasty, and there are only nods and bowed hands. Even for the greatest respect, you only need to bend 30°. Too much will make people feel flattering.

That night, Lorraine Hill was wearing a golden orchid phoenix costume on a white background, standing on the deck of the dragon boat, his eyes shifted lightly, looking at the brightly lit night scenes on both sides of the river. The lights on both sides of the strait became golden waves.

"Now, Luo Jingzhong has been fully electrified." Lorraine Hill looked at these bright and colorful lanterns and asked softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, now Luojing is connected to electricity, and the common people can use convenient and bright electric lights in every household." Not only that, the street lights on both sides of the street are also beautiful and bright, with orchid-shaped lampshades. The black iron lamppost hangs down like a flower, illuminating the road below.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, not only Luo Jing, but also the power equipment in various state capitals is slowly being laid. It is estimated that in five years, large cities in the country will be able to use electric lights and simple electrical appliances." Luo Lanxi Behind you, Yu Caifeng, the official of Xia, bent over to report, and the other officials also nodded in agreement.

Standing on this deck, looking at the lights all over the city, they were also filled with emotion. In the past ten years, the country has undergone too many changes, and various new things have appeared year after year. It's dizzying.

Trains, steam engines, spinning machines, fuel engines, power plants, light bulbs, refrigerators, washing machines, all slowly come into people's eyes, and officials like them are often the first to come into contact with and have the deepest experience. The emergence of the industry is supported by various industrialization systems.

Steelmaking, mining, casting molds, chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, mechanical processing, rubber preparation, electrolysis, preliminary oil refining, etc., the wheels of the times are rolling forward at an unimaginable speed.

"Ah, it's His Majesty Jialan!" Someone from the bank began to notice the soft figure on the deck of the dragon boat.

"That's right, it's Your Majesty Jialan, I always remember that silhouette."

"Look, it's Your Majesty!" Someone trotted along the shore, followed the dragon boat, and kept waving, which attracted more people's attention.

More and more people began to notice that the small figure standing on the big boat was the current Phoenix of Jialan, Lorraine Hill. Many people began to cheer and shout, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while.

Fortunately, the law and order personnel in the city rushed over in time~IndoMTL.com~ They pulled up ropes on the shore to prevent people from being crowded into the water, and the festive atmosphere in the city heard that Lorraine Hill was taking a boat It reaches its peak during the night tour.

Seeing so many people on the shore waving to him, Lorraine Hill also raised his hand and waved lightly in response. This once again triggered various waves, and everyone was excited and happy.

It is night, and one after another gorgeous fireworks slowly cut through the night sky, blooming in the sky, and the golden rain is slender and magnificent.

Even after decades, the autumn moon lantern festival tonight is still the most unforgettable night in the hearts of countless people.

In this year, the dynasty was established for ten years, the main railway was fully opened to traffic, the first magistrate was appointed, the first city fully electrified appeared, and the first batch of graduates from institutions of higher learning entered the society. Some of them became mechanical engineers, some became pilots, and some stood on the podium to teach their juniors. They all have a solid and happy future.

Humanity, a civilization that has been sleeping for a long time, is slowly waking up again, looking up at the beautiful starry sky above it again.
