She Is Not a Witch Chapter 2: Traces of the deceased
Pearl Islands is an important transit point between the east and west continents. Many fleets will stop here, rest and replenish, and then continue their journey.
A long time ago, this was a sparsely populated island. Later, as more and more sea ships came and went, this place also became prosperous. In terms of law, the Pearl Islands were part of the Plantagenet Dynasty, and Di belonged to Xihai Prefecture, but Unlike Zhoujun in the mainland, a large number of officials will not be directly dispatched here, most of them are local autonomy, similar to the detention system in remote areas of the dynasty.
Because I often come into contact with tourists from the east and west continents, the atmosphere here is relatively developed. People are very receptive to foreign races and new things, and they are not as conservative as inside the dynasty.
Walking on the street, Lorraine Hill can see many oriental-style red bricks and green tiles, towers and pavilions, and the shops on the street are also rich and novel.
You can see exquisite porcelain depicting knights and roses, knight plate armor with oriental black bird patterns, exotic skirts with side-opening skirts, and tassel pendants woven with red and emerald thin threads , the embroidery depicting the descending of an angel, and the cooler version of the skirt, which is more suitable for the climate of the summer island.
The new things along the way are dazzling. People here don't think there is anything wrong with such a mix and match style.
"Sister Lorraine, over there." Ye Ling suddenly pulled Lorraine Hill's clothes and pointed to the ice drink shop on the side of the street.
There are huge square ice mirrors in the shop. There is a slight air of air on the bronze ice mirrors. There is a small sign on each of them, saying that there are snacks inside, such as 'lychee ointment water' Kumquat Mission''Sanctuary Ice Wine''Snow Soaked Bean Water''Blue Ice Cream''Perilla Drink''Scented Perfume''Cuiyue Parfait' and so on.
"Ye Ling wants to eat a cold drink." Lorraine Hill walked over and looked at the customers who bought it curiously.
After many people choose what they want, the clerk will open the ice mirror with a small bowl, then scoop out a small spoonful, put it into the bowl, and some will add finely crushed ice cubes and rock sugar.
If you look carefully at the ice mirrors, you will know that these are alchemy creations, which can be cooled by magic power. Of course, the names in the East may be different, and some will be called magic tools.
Although the principle is similar to the current freezer in the Western Continent, the appearance and shape are very different. The Dongfang side still continues the shape of the previous ice mirror, which has a simple and calm feeling, and there are still corners. Ornament of birds and clouds.
"What do you want?"
"Just that lychee ointment, I haven't eaten lychees for a long time." Ye Ling pointed to one of them.
"Then I still want 'blue ice cream', it always feels like a variant of ice cream." Lorraine Hill chose after a little thought.
So the girl and Ye Ling stepped forward and ordered the iced drink they wanted.
"Okay, wait a moment, both of you."
After a while, two clerks brought two bowls, "a total of 20 copper horns."
"It's a bit expensive."
"That's right, it's not easy to transport things from the Pearl Islands, so they're higher than those in the inland area."
"Okay." After paying the money, Lorraine Hill slowly tasted it.
The slightly sour blueberry mixed with the icy sweetness of the cream brings a refreshing and pleasant experience to the tip of the tongue. Although it is slightly different from the ice cream in the memory of the previous life, it is already surprising in this era.
"Wow, it's a lie, there are no lychees in the first place." Yeling murmured unhappily from the side.
"Miss, in fact, there is no lychee in the lychee paste, but it does have the taste of lychee. This is a popular way of eating." The clerk at the side explained patiently.
Lychees are born in southern China and have a short shelf life. Most people can hardly eat them, so they can only use this substitute to satisfy their cravings.
"I used to eat it every year." Yeling was still a little angry. Unlike ordinary people, this lady can indeed eat fresh lychees every year.
"Okay, don't embarrass others." Lorraine Hill comforted the little dragon lady with a smile, and the latter calmed down quickly.
Actually, Ye Ling wasn't angry, but a little disappointed. The lychees written on the sign were obviously not in hand.
There will indeed be serious customers, Lorraine Hill said with emotion, if she opened the store, she would probably think of changing the name, or simply call it 'Iced Sour Plum Soup'?
After the two finished their cold drinks, they continued to wander the streets. Apart from businessmen and tourists, they could occasionally see patrolling teams. The strength is good.
Probably all have the level of Sequence 3, the captain may have Sequence 4, most of them are Ocean Sequence or Dragon Sequence, Lorraine Hill has a little perception analysis.
"You bastard, how dare you lie to me!" Suddenly there was a roar from the street, and there was a sound of fighting and smashing things.
Hearing the sound, many people on the street turned their eyes away.
Several people in black and red robes were beating up a thieves, chasing and smashing a lot of goods on the side of the road.
Soon the stall owners surrounded him, and the passers-by quickly avoided.
"What's going on!?" Seeing this scene, the patrol team pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward.
"Master Daowei, they buy and sell by force and beat people." The beaten businessman ran over as if he had found a savior.
In this seaport where business exchanges are dense, some conflicts and discord are prone to occur, so there are often sea patrol sword guards in battle robes to maintain law and order.
"You fart! It's obvious that you lied to us." The angry group rushed over again, wanting to hit the businessman. Their bodies were overflowing with strong magic power, and their fists were like piercing gold and cracking stones.
"呵啦——" There was a hasty sound of drawing out their knives, and the eight sword guards raised their narrow and sharp long knives, aiming at the violent elements.
"Don't be impulsive! Brother, don't be impulsive."
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, a woman wearing the same style of clothing ran out from among the group of people. She had a dark red bang on her forehead, which was different from the overall black hair, and was very conspicuous. A strong man.
After struggling for a while, the strong man was gradually pulled away by his companions, and then the woman in front kept apologizing to the sword guards.
"I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone. We will compensate you according to the price for the things broken on the road. No, I won't make it difficult for you..." She seemed to want to explain and calm down, and she was a little flustered and anxious in her words. wrong.
"And me, don't worry about hurting people, who would dare to do business in the Pearl Islands in the future."
The businessman who was beaten before ran out again, pointing to the blood on his face and the torn clothes on his body, crying loudly, which made many people around feel sympathetic.
"Indeed, this is a bit too much."
"It's so scary." Some little girls were a little scared when they saw the dark red blood stained with dust.
"Tell me one by one." These sword guards separated the people on both sides and asked calmly.
"Okay, let's talk first. We are members from Tuoshitang in Nanfengzhou..." the woman in black and red said.
Lorland Hill, who was listening to the development of things in the distance before, slowed down after hearing the words 'Tuoshitang', and then walked over slowly.
It turned out that a few days ago, the members of Tuoshitang bought a large amount of potions to treat trauma from this merchant, but they didn't want to find out today that these potions were actually defective products, far from as good as they said before.
"Why do you say it's a defective product? My potion is genuine, and the effect was shown to you from time to time. Didn't you agree?" The businessman immediately refused to accept it.
"Besides, I was going to sell it in the dynasty. You blocked the market at the port. You insisted that I sell it all to you, and forced the delivery on the same day. I was at a big loss."
If it is shipped to the inland of the dynasty, the profit will indeed be higher. This is common sense that many businessmen know.
"You!" One of the angry faces turned red, and steam was coming out of his body. Seeing this scene, the businessman hid behind the sea patrol knife guard again.
"Slow down." One of the sword guards came out from behind, looking coldly at the members of Tuoshitang who disrupted the order.
"This is not Nanfeng Continent. If you act wild here, Tianhai Pavilion will not spare you."
In Xihai Mansion, Bibo Tianhai Pavilion is the biggest force, even better than the dynasty government, because this is the autonomous region of the dynasty, there are not many garrisons, and Bibo Tianhai Pavilion is in charge of repelling sea beasts and maintaining the safety of the route Do, and these sea patrol knife guards are also members of Tianhai Pavilion's subordinate organizations, so they naturally represent the authority of Tianhai Pavilion in this area.
"The businessman said that you blocked him at the time and forced him to buy his goods, so he sold them to you, right?"
"That's right, but he's selling fakes."
"Fake? Do you mean that those medicines are completely useless?"
"It works, but it's not very useful, and it's not worth the price."
"Then you didn't inspect the goods at that time?"
"Inspected, but the ones inspected at that time were all good, but the later ones are completely different from the previous ones."
"My goods are all good things. The chamber of commerce I cooperated with before has a good reputation. You are innocent!" Much whiter.
"What is completely different from before, isn't that what you saw at the time, and now you regret it, and then say mine is fake, is there such a business?"
After that, the two sides quarreled for a while, each side said their own things, and neither one would let go.
After a long time, the patrolling knife guards were obviously impatient and interrupted both sides.
"Since you inspected the goods at the time, you shouldn't regret it afterwards and hit someone. Besides, you are suspected of forcing the purchase. This is wrong."
"You guys, first pay for the stall owner's things, then pay the businessman the treatment fee, and finally pay a fine. This is the end of the matter."
Hearing such a judgment, those Tuoshitang people immediately became angry, but under the cold blades of several sword guards, they became calm again, stamped their feet unwillingly, and finally had to accept this reality.
After all, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. This is Xihai Mansion far away on the endless sea. If they commit a crime, if they are wanted, they may not even be able to return to Nanfengzhou.
The few people became depressed, and after the woman paid the stall owner and the businessman the money, she comforted everyone and left slowly.
Lorraine Hill pulled Ye Ling and followed them to the hotel where they stayed.
The style of this hotel is Western style, with black exterior walls and vertical windows. Through the glass, you can see people drinking and dining in the lobby.
"What should I do, I have spent money now, but I haven't bought anything, and I will be scolded by the helmsman when I go back." One of them was lying on the table drinking mulled wine.
"You still have the heart to worry about being scolded. I think about whether the injured branch master can be cured. The next time the battle between lions and dragons will start again."
"Many brothers in the hall were injured, and there are few famous doctors in Southland, and a lot of medicines have been consumed over the years. The ship went out to purchase."
"I hope that Brother Di in Huaxuzhou can buy enough medicine, otherwise many people will die in the fight between lions and dragons in the future."
"Huaxuzhou's colorful valley is famous all over the world. It is one of the few schools in the thirty-six schools that majors in the same lineage of hundreds of flowers. Like colorful clouds of smoke, covering thousands of miles.”
"There must be enough pills over there, but the price is not low, and the quantity that Senior Brother Di can buy is probably limited."
"Alas..." As they spoke, several people sighed again.
Thinking of the scolding they will face when they go back, and the fact that many brothers in the same school may have died due to lack of treatment, the more they thought about it, the more depressed they became, and they even punched themselves a few times in anger.
"Excuse me, are some of you members of Nanfengzhou Tuoshitang?" A soft voice sounded behind them.
"Are you?" They turned around, and then saw a girl in a western-style dress standing behind her. Looking at her appearance, she was dreamy and peaceful, and there was a feeling of tranquility that made people feel unknowingly peaceful.
"I have been to the dynasty before, and I have been helped by an uncle. He is a member of Tuoshitang. Now I am returning to the east and want to find out his whereabouts."
"Oh, who is it, can you tell me the name?"
A few people were curious about who helped this lady, but they also had no hope of finding that person. Tuoshitang is a fairly large organization with more than 100,000 official members, and there are countless small gangs around it I don't know, and they are only members of a branch of Tuoshitang, and it is also the task of the branch to come out this time.
"His name is Yu Baichou. In terms of age, he should be around 50 years old." Lorraine Hill recalled Yu Baichou's appearance and wanted to describe his characteristics.
"With all due respect, miss, there are too many people who came from a small town like you said and then came to Nanfengzhou to make a living." A man from Tuoshitang shook his head.
"The original body of our Tuoshitang is the Cao Gang in the rivers, lakes and seas. Does Miss know what the Cao Gang is?"
"I roughly understand that it is an organization that helps **** goods."
"That's true, but in fact, when traveling to and from various places, you will always encounter various people and things of all kinds. It is inevitable that you will encounter things bullied by local snakes when you are in a foreign land, so in order to protect yourself and your goods, Those of us had to join forces, and then formed gangs."
"We cooperate with many chambers of commerce to help them transport goods, and we also need a lot of protection power in the middle. Later, we will collectively teach some practices and skills of practice, and gradually form a large faction, that is, Tuo Lion Hall."
"Many people who run water transportation will join us in order to defend themselves and obtain a stable livelihood. Therefore, in our Tuoshi Hall, there are many people from all over the world. The conditions you are talking about now, you want Finding such a person does not mean finding a needle in a haystack." He replied with a sigh.
"Okay, okay, why are you talking so much today? Is it because of this eldest lady that you are unsure." The companion next to him came to break the stage, and the two fought a few more times.
"Sorry, Miss, we don't know the person you mentioned, and we don't have the energy to help you find ~IndoMTL.com~ The woman before came over and explained to Lorraine Hill .
"Is that so..." Lorraine Hill was a little disappointed, thinking about it too, in this day and age, it is really difficult to find someone who is not famous.
"Wait, Yu Baiqiu, Yu Dajiang? I seem to know him."
A young man as thin as a monkey raised his hand.
"You say."
"I've been to Fuyun Lake before, and there's a powerful branch master there, who seems to be named Yu Baichou."
"Fuyun Lake, isn't that the battlefield where the lions and dragons fought before? I'm afraid the branch hall there has been destroyed now. The fight last time was terrible." Several other people murmured.
Hearing this, Lorraine Hill finally couldn't help asking.
"What is the Lion Dragon Fight?"
