She Is Not a Witch Chapter 160: Knights of the Lake

Under the filling of magic power, colorful gemstones emit various colors of light in blue, crystal yellow, rosy red, bright purple, and bright white. The shop signs that were monotonous in the past are now decorated with colorful and colorful.

With convenient lighting equipment, Titania's night life has become much richer. Everyone seems to be going to bed later and later, because the night is so relaxing and pleasant, making people reluctant to fall asleep.

Away from the bustling streets, the surrounding environment gradually becomes deserted, only occasional small airships pass by the sky, bringing faint light and shadow flickering.

The alleys here are still old-fashioned, and the beautiful and beautiful jewel lamps are not installed. The lanterns hanging at the entrances of a few shops are the only source of illumination.

Some shabby-clothed pedestrians walked through the street, most of them were off-duty workers, people from nearby cities or distant areas who came here to survive.

Some were tired, while others were elated, talking about all kinds of new things in the imperial capital, with longing and imagination for the future.

"You are welcome to come back next time."

The door of the barbershop opened, and a young man came out, followed by two maids.

"I've told you, now we are not short of money, so we don't need to save like this." A maid with silver-purple hair seemed a little dissatisfied, and boldly contradicted the young master.

"This, I think it's actually not bad, it doesn't need to cost so much money." Elio looked at his trimmed hairstyle and nodded in satisfaction.

"The shops you mentioned are too luxurious inside. When I went in, I was surrounded by crowds. I felt so uncomfortable."

"But you will get used to this kind of thing sooner or later. The master is someone I specially chose, and he is destined to be extraordinary." The witch, Kornos, naturally called this young man her master. The sound made the people around involuntarily turn around and take a few more glances.

It's really a beautiful and lovely maid, although she has the potential to be a bit poisonous. There are a lot of nobles in the imperial capital. Everyone has long seen such a combination of master and servant. It's just that it appears in such a relatively deserted street, which makes people feel a little surprised.

"Yeah, I know." Elio nodded, as if he didn't care about that statement.

"We should still be busy today." He finally thought of how to interrupt the maid's complaints.

"Yes, but the young master doesn't want to run away from it. As your maid, I have the obligation to cultivate a qualified master."

"Really, I feel a lot of pressure." Elio rubbed his forehead, and looked at Anna who was a little helpless.

The slightly plump maid smiled and said nothing, watching the two quarrel, and then kept moving forward.

They crossed a few deserted streets and boarded a carriage that had been prepared in a deserted place, and then the driver sitting in the carriage began to let the horses go forward. During this period, the coachman didn't ask any questions, and didn't need to give instructions. All actions were done in such a tacit agreement, as if they had been planned long ago.

The brown-gray carriage, simple and ordinary, quietly passed through the ancient streets, and slowly approached the north side of the city, where there was a camp of the garrison army.

The flames in the copper basin were burning, and the bright flames illuminated the road and the gate. The guards guarding the gate stood quietly, not saying a word in the night.

As the night deepened, a carriage slowly approached from the intersection, and the rustling sound of the wheels was particularly eye-catching in the cold environment.

When they approached, the guards stopped him, and then the driver gave documents and secret orders, and soon these people respectfully gave way.

In the city fortress in summer night, you can see the lights everywhere, as well as the moths that revolve around the lights.

The carriage stopped at a corner of the fortress, and then an officer in black escorted these people to a strong tower, where the guards were tight, there were several layers of walls, and there were many soldiers patrolling and watching.

A few people in black hooded windbreakers walked under the tower, and then gradually descended to the depths of the bottom under the drive of some kind of hanging basket-like stone ladder.

Walking out of the closed and narrow 'stone staircase room', several people followed the soldiers into the cold and damp underground passage.

The sun is not visible here, and the surroundings are pitch black. Occasionally, the sound of water droplets can be heard, which is particularly clear on the stones on the ground.

One empty prison cell after another is revealed on both sides of the passage, most of them are unoccupied, and some of them are holding indistinct figures. Although they cannot be seen clearly, the smell of blood and rancidity in the air is enough to make people feel sick. One recognizes the cruelty and desperation of this place.

Among them, one of them seemed very uncomfortable. He covered his mouth and nose, and had the urge to vomit, but he was quickly patted on the shoulder by a petite figure behind him, and then calmed down.

The soldiers leading the way ahead glanced back and waited indifferently for a while, seeing that the three men were stable again, they continued to lead the way ahead.

No one spoke on the road, only those figures in the cell heard the sound of walking, some woke up, dragged the chains, and made a hoarse cry, but unfortunately, they couldn't speak, probably because their tongues were pulled out Bar.

Finally, the leading soldier in front stopped. He inspected the cell next to the aisle, hung the lantern on it, took out a square box, placed it on the ground, and then did something to the three people behind him. He made a simple gesture, and then stood more than ten meters away and waited.

The three of them nodded when they saw this, and then they came to the cell, pressed the box, and a dark blue sound-proof barrier spread, covering the cell and the three of them.

The petite figure stepped forward and knocked on the secret lock of the prison door, making a crisp sound, which woke up the figure sitting on the ground inside.

Like a pair of cheetah eyes lit up in the dark night, this figure looked at the three people who appeared in front of the cell, and after a few seconds, struggled to sit up.

"You come to me, what do you want me to do." His voice was hoarse, and although it sounded dry, he could still speak anyway.

"A very smart man, as expected of my chosen pawn." The petite figure nodded, then took off the hood, revealing silver-purple hair, and a pair of magnificent silver pupils blooming in the dark night.

"You need a new master." The maid lifted her skirt, bent down, and looked down at the man who was rotting like a corpse. The moving voice was so natural, as if it should be so.

"Heh." The figure in the cell sneered, then fell silent.

"I'm already a useless person, my reputation has been ruined, who else can I work for."

"That's right, you are already disabled. But, I can repair it a little bit, so that you can continue to make use of the waste heat and make it a useful tool." The maid's voice is so proud.

"What can you give me, or why should I trust you."

"Your wife and child are still alive." That's all the maid said, and the nearly rotten body began to struggle, crawling forward like a mass of rotten flesh on the ground.

"Really, really? You didn't lie to me."

"No, it's just a simple matter for us." After finishing speaking, the maid stood up, and another mature maid beside her nervously took out a piece from her waist pocket and hid it. gems.

She spread out the gemstone and put it in her palm, and a moving image emerged immediately.

In the picture, a woman is wearing a headscarf, hugging her child, looking nervously at the front of the picture, seeing where they are standing, it seems to be a village near the forest, and there are a few houses built of adobe bricks around.

There is no sound in the picture, but the woman in it seems to have opened her mouth to say something, and it can be roughly guessed that it is some words of comfort based on the shape of her mouth. 'Don't worry, I'm fine with the baby...'

Looking at the figure in the picture, the black figure in the cell seems to be crying and laughing, with a strange voice and tears in his eyes.

"Aha, ha... woo...uh... woo." He panted heavily, and another slight smell of blood overflowed from his body.

"Okay, you should be satisfied now." The silver-purple-haired maid asked her companion to put away the gem.

"En." The figure lowered its head again, its breath gradually calmed down, as if thinking about how to make its wish come true as much as possible.

"There is one more question you didn't answer me." His mood gradually stabilized, and he raised his head again, staring at the petite maid in white silk with piercing eyes.

"It's really troublesome, but you are lucky today, I still have a lot of patience, after all, I have to share the worries of my lovely master." The maid lifted up her skirt, took a piece from the side of her thigh and pinned it special badge.

A crescent moon that is as sharp as a hook, one corner is bright red, and the other corner is faintly emerging in the veins of clouds and mist. This is the symbol of the Dark Moon Clan, representing this special organization that has served the royal family for nearly a thousand years.

Fixedly staring at the badge, feeling the icy aura on it intentionally or unintentionally, suddenly, the man laughed.

"Haha, ha, haha, in the end, it's still like this...it's still like this...his voice was bitter, and he nodded helplessly at the end."

"Yes, I understand." The tone was full of emotion and sigh, as if accepting fate.

"Very well, that's it. Then, now, serve your allegiance to your new master." After speaking, the maid finally gave way, and took a few steps back, allowing the figure of the boy to step forward.

"You don't need to know his name for the time being, you just need to swear." After finishing speaking, the maid put her hand on the boy's shoulder to let him step forward with peace of mind, until her toes touched the fence of the cell.

The man raised his head and glanced briefly, then stopped paying attention, and slowly lowered his unruly head until it finally touched the cold and hard stone surface.

Damp water vapor came from his forehead, he looked at the leather toes vaguely in the darkness, slowly stepped forward, touched them, and then whispered in his mouth.

"I swear allegiance to you, to be your faithful servant and fang, to the end of the world."

While listening to the man swearing, the maid whispered a reminder on the boy's shoulder, her warm words seemed to lick his ears.

"I forgive your sins and allow you to mount your horse with your sword again." He repeated the words taught by the maid beside him.

"Fight for me again, Darcy, the general of the empire."

——————

The wind blows through the high sky, through the snow-covered mountains and forests, through the emerald green land and the bustling city. Rain began to fall.

After entering the summer, Lorraine Hill's time to go out has been greatly reduced. Now she is sorting out the materials of Longjiao Province in her room, and a banquet is being held in the hall next door. All the famous nobles of Longjiao Province are present.

"Please welcome the beautiful Miss Gravell, the master of Viscount Winlani~" Amidst the host's introduction and applause, a beautiful noble girl walked down the stairs slowly with a dress in her hand.

"Oh, what a beautiful girl."

"Worthy of being a descendant of the Wenlanizi family."

"It's so rare to see her, I'm really honored." Many nobles praised the girl's face.

"I'm very glad that you all came to my mansion. Due to the previous war, I'm afraid the reception was not good enough. Please forgive me." Geweier said the words prepared in advance, and greeted me softly and naturally.

"How could it be so rich."

"Yes."

"Indeed." The nobles present naturally knew what happened to Viscount Winlani at the end of last year, so they were not surprised. On the contrary, they were even more surprised that the family could recover so quickly.

After a lively exchange of pleasantries, the topic finally shifted to the main topic of the banquet.

"Actually, I invite everyone here this time because I have an idea and a proposal I want to discuss with you." After Geweier drank several times the wine, a slight blush appeared on his face, and his charming face firmly attracted everyone present Even some noble ladies have to admit that this girl has a temperament that I still feel pity for.

"Oh, what is it?" Everyone replied casually, thinking that the girl wanted to ask for help. After all, they heard that a lot of wealth of the Wenlani family was destroyed in the war.

"I hope that everyone in Longjiao Province can establish a loose alliance to resist possible crises."

Gewier's surprising words made the banquet fall into silence for a while.

"Miss Geweier is joking." The ears of several nobles were dripping with sweat, such remarks were tantamount to conspiracy.

"I know what everyone is afraid of, but now it has reached the point where it has to be." Geweier shook his head.

"I think everyone should know the fate of the Baska family, and how many famous families in the southern border have been passed down for hundreds of years, how many are left now." She said the fact that everyone was faintly worried and anxious.

"Those legions directly under the royal will not let us go."

"The regent not only wants the Baskar family to disappear, but he also wants the nobles in the entire southern border to disappear. In this way, the entire southern border can be turned into a royal territory, although it belongs to the empire in name. But what is the difference between being controlled by them and actually being controlled by them.” This alluring and beautiful girl made a clear analysis, and her snow-white skin against the background of the crow-blue dress and the firelight exuded a moving glow. color.

"Just like His Majesty the Emperor in the past, His Highness the Regent's appetite will only be big or small, because they are twin sons and share the same ideals and desires."

"This..." The nobles present looked at each other, but still did not dare to answer casually.

"In the hearts of these two cruel majesties, nobles are probably just superfluous things. All he needs is a servant who absolutely obeys him. Everything belongs to him, and he will be the master of everything."

"Such will and ideas can be seen repeatedly from the policies and actions of these years. If this continues, the empire will no longer be a free place, it will become a prison, and everyone will become slaves in the prison."

"And even you and I are not immune." Geweier said this fact in a low voice.

"Sorry, may I interrupt the beautiful Miss Gravell." A bearded nobleman walked out from the crowd and came to the center of the dance floor. He was wearing a light green and gold-rimmed dress and seemed to be a viscount .

"Everyone here may not have thought about what you said. But why are everyone indifferent? Have you thought about it?"

"How about knowing these truths, even if he is the truth, we are still powerless."

"Do you know the strength of the empire? It is easy to mobilize an army of millions, and it is easy to suppress us. How can you question and oppose at will."

"Of course I know the strength of the empire, but you don't necessarily need to fight against millions of troops." As Geweier began to recall the words that Miss Jialan reminded her to remember before the banquet.

"First of all, in the northern part of the empire, the cold disaster is not over, and it is difficult to protect itself. It is impossible to go south and let a group of extremely hungry people pass through the fertile central part of the empire. Everyone should be able to guess what will happen."

"Well." Thinking of the rumors of eating tree bark and even corpses during the famine, the nobles present shuddered and shook their heads. It is indeed impossible to mobilize the army in the north.

"Now the Lord of the Western Territory is the elderly Duke of Griffin. He can almost be said to be the elder of the current King Regent. Lancia's repetitions cannot send effective army support."

"It seems reasonable." The nobles began to waver slightly.

"As for the Landsworth family in the east, that's better."

"The disappearance of Miss Frocia, the former crown princess, caused the Landsworth family to be worried about this. Now the upper echelons of the empire began to reject the elves, but the Landsworth family has always been in harmony with the elves. Make friends, and have elf blood."

"Many nobles in the eastern region are more or less mixed elves and humans. They do not agree with the new policy of the empire. Even when the emperor went west, the Duke of Unicorn voted against it. Naturally, it is impossible to help the regent. The king sent troops."

"In the end, we are not plotting rebellion or setting off a rebellion, but that we choose not to accept certain unreasonable orders, and at the same time, everyone keeps pace and supports each other."

"If it weren't for the dangerous situation today, I don't think everyone would want to go this far, but the fact is that if we don't unite, it will be dangerous for you to be nobles in the future."

"Look at those lords who have been expelled by the investigators in various names. Do you really have to wait until the day they put a knife on their necks before resisting."

"That would make no sense."

"There are only 200,000 to 300,000 imperial legions stationed in the southern border, and they are still distributed in various provinces. As long as we don't face up to resist, it is impossible for them to mobilize all of them. This is tantamount to abandoning the forest just to cut down a tree .”

"We only need to face an imperial army of 20,000 people at most, and as long as we can hold on."

"However, even if it's 20,000 legionnaires." The people present still shook their heads, they knew very well what was going on with their own guards.

"I can solve these worries for everyone." A rough voice sounded from the main entrance of the hall.

Gu Huasi walked into the meeting place step by step with his big sword on his shoulders. The rough big sword was full of scratches and dents, and there were traces of dark red blood left in it, which shocked the surrounding nobles and avoided them one after another.

"We have trained a reliable elite soldier ~IndoMTL.com~ If necessary, we can support you at any time." He slammed his sword on the ground, and then knights in full-coverage armor stepped in hall.

The emerald metal scale armor is so special, and the sharp cold jade sword is carried along with the armor friction, and a faint magical glow emerges, which makes people dazzled.

These powerful warriors fascinated and convinced the nobles present as soon as they entered the arena.

"Although a lot of things in the house were destroyed, luckily, in the ruins, we found the classics left by our ancestors who traveled to the East. Thanks to this, the Wenlani family now has an elite force that can fight."

"I believe that with these knights of the lake, the stability of Longjiao Province will be protected, and our glory will be continued for a long time."

"So, now everyone is willing to compose this beautiful movement with me?" Geweier smiled.

After a while of silence, warm applause rang out in the hall.

"We are naturally convinced."
