She Is Not a Witch Chapter 293: The world illuminated by the aurora
After Irene left, the envoys fell into a temporary predicament, but soon a new message made everyone find their way.
"In addition to the three dukes who lead the court of the Ice Palace, there is also a witch who has a strong influence on the ice elves."
After living in "Scarlandi" for a few weeks, Aitesi and the others got the news. It is said that this is a news that a member got from the divination house in the city.
"At first, I thought it was a bit ethereal, but after some inquiries, I found out that there is such a special person." Aitexi yawned a little tiredly, and after Irene left, she also became Get busy.
"Then go find it, anyway, there is no special news now." An accompanying messenger suggested.
"That's right..." Aitesi lay on the table and looked at Lorraine Hill, then raised her head and asked.
"Does Lorraine know about the sleeping witch, Tehua?"
"Tehua? Lorraine Hill quickly remembered this name. Keti snatched it from her at that time."
"That witch seems to live in a faraway land of ice and snow."
"Yes, but in the past few decades, she seems to have been to the Northern Continent, and she has been a guest in the Ice Palace Court for a long time, and she has done some things with the ice elves."
"I heard that a huge ice basin garden was built, but later the news was gradually hidden, and no one knew where the garden was built."
"Doesn't that mean that Tehua still can't be found?"
"No, there is always a general direction, but there are few people there, even in the northern continent, not every place is inhabited."
"Okay."
"By the way, what does that Sleeping Witch look like?"
"It is said that she has black hair and a black dress, and her voice is lazy and full of temptation. There is nothing more specific, because everyone only has this hazy dreamy image of her, and they can't grasp the feeling when they really want to draw the image. "
"As expected of a witch, there are many mysterious places."
Black hair and black dress? For some reason, Lorraine Hill suddenly remembered the mysterious girl she met when she left Jackdaw Harbor.
Could it be that she is Tehua, and has she anticipated today's situation from the very beginning?
Speaking of my whereabouts, it is not a secret among witches now. If the other party is a witch, I can easily know it.
"It seems that we have to look for it this time." Lorraine Hill blinked.
According to Chris's description in the past, this Tehua is not the kind of unreasonable witch, she just has a feud with Keti, so if she goes to find her by herself this time, she probably has to apologize for Keti.
Therefore, some people continued to stay in Scarlandi, and Lorraine Hill went to look for Tehua alone. The reason why she didn't bring others was because she would act faster when she was alone, and now time can't be delayed any longer. up.
Three days later, Lorraine Hill flew towards the direction described on the map. She tried her best to develop her perception, looking for the mysterious garden hidden among the ice and snow mountains and rivers.
At the same time, Irene also returned to the place where her family was located.
"Boom!"
The heavy doors were closed heavily, even with the lingering sound of a cold snort.
In a small, dark room, Irene sat alone on a stone chair, silent, only slowly stroking the silver-haired puppet in her arms.
This is the third day after she came back, her father and a group of elders first reprimanded her severely, and then locked her in this hut to let her think about her mistakes behind closed doors, that is, to confine her.
According to my elder brother, this period of confinement is estimated to last for more than a month before she will be allowed to meet people. During this period, their family will also contact the Tixiu family again to discuss her marriage with Palos .
"It's kind of boring." Yi Xue opened her eyes from Irene's arms, and looked at the closed door.
Although the parents' words to Irene were very harsh, even Yi Xue could tell that in fact, Irene's parents were not cruel enough to punish this daughter. A lesson, don't do outrageous things in the future.
"Father actually loves me very much." Irene said softly, she leaned back on the back of the chair slightly, looking at the dark ceiling.
If I go out at this time, I'm afraid many people in the family will come to see her embarrassed appearance, and maybe they will make sarcastic remarks and all kinds of discussions. Now that I am in confinement, I can avoid such things from being contacted by myself.
As for one month later, when the big wedding is coming soon, other people will not slander their own clan members in front of outsiders, because they will actually lose face in that way.
"Some customs of the ice elves have not changed, they are so cumbersome and boring." Although Yi Xue understood what Irene said, she was obviously displeased.
Such an old aristocratic style, focusing on face and etiquette, really disgusted her, especially after being exposed to the culture of Clancia and the new southern organizations.
For the performance of the current ice elf nobles, Yi Xue's mood is quite complicated, she probably mourns her misfortune and is angry at her indisputable.
Thousands of years have passed, but there is still no progress. Even the Green Empire led by nobles has a much more enlightened and open-minded atmosphere, and will not engage in such troublesome red tape.
"Is Master Yixue also an ice elf in the past?" Irene finally asked the question that she had been wanting to ask before. She knew that this puppet knew the history of the ice elves in the past, so it should have been related to the ice elves in life close people.
"I don't want to admit it, but it's true." Yi Xue floated up from Irene's arms, cruised around the small black room, and then sat on Irene's shoulders.
"The era I lived in was the First Era, which is extremely far away from today, the era when the ice elves were still active under the World Tree."
"Then, can Yi Xue talk about the past, such as the elf queen at that time, the mythical goblin..." At this time, Irene suddenly burst into strong curiosity.
"Well, it's probably similar to what you read in the book." Yi Xue shook her legs, looking a little lazy.
"Can you tell me?" Irene asked again.
"Okay, let me just talk briefly." Seeing Irene's curious appearance, Yi Xue knew that she was too bored in the small black room, so she picked up some patience and began to tell the story slowly.
"Let's start with the birth of the three elves..."
"It is said that on the large and endless branches, first endless and colorful flowers bloomed, these flowers are the prototype of all flowers in the world, and then the spiritual part of the stamens floated under the moonlight, like thousands of fireflies Swaying with the wind."
"Until a certain day, the powerful part of these fireflies will turn into intelligent creatures, and they will be a generation of goblins."
"The goblins are playing carefree, they have fun, sing all kinds of songs, and care for thousands of flowers on the big tree..."
"The flowers bloomed and fell, and after so many generations, the first batch of fruits finally appeared. These fruits are green and oval, hidden among the leaves, and grow quietly in the high clouds."
"Facing these fruits, the elves are very happy, because a new sister is born, so everyone takes care of these fruits more attentively."
"Time passed by again. On a dewy morning, the mountain wind swept over the big trees, and the leaves and branches shook, so a large number of fruits fell, and they fell into the soil, leaves, and forests. Then the husk split open, and out of it emerged beautiful elves with sharp ears."
"In this way, the first generation of the three clans of elves was born. They are born to be the darlings of nature. They can easily maintain balance, run and chase in the complex environment of mountains and forests. Soon families are established, and they gather together. Under the shelter of the World Tree, I live a simple and peaceful life.”
"In order to thank the world tree that gave birth to them, these elves will hold a grand celebration every time, and the elf who presides over the celebration must be the most beautiful. She will wear a laurel woven crown and insert flowers of various colors , singing and dancing under the tree.”
"Everyone admires and worships such a beautiful elf, so they all obey her words and guidance."
"This kind of celebration is held every ten years, and the beautiful elf selected will be called the elf queen by later generations."
"As time passed quietly, the fruits on the world tree kept falling and turned into various elves, but there were also some fruits that hadn't fallen for a long time, so the elves were very anxious. They surrounded those fruits and sang various songs to them. Song, tell it the beauty of the world, don’t worry, it’s a peaceful and peaceful world.”
"In this way, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and those fruits finally changed colors and fell one by one..."
"But unfortunately, what came out of it was not a beautiful elf, but other ugly creatures."
"The goblins ran away in fright, hiding behind the leaves and branches, not daring to look at these new sisters."
"Then the elves came to clean these creatures and raise them carefully."
"Soon, these creatures grow colorful and bright feathers. They are not elves but birds flying to the sky."
"At this time, the goblins came out again, wanting to play with these new sisters, but unfortunately the birds couldn't understand the words of the goblins. After they matured, they jumped down from the branches and flew to the blue and clear sky. Sky."
"Birds of all colors, birds of many colors, and wings of variegated colors, they fly around the world tree, singing the joy of this new birth, and then fly in all directions, some never return, some It may be many years before they return."
"Thus, the world tree is divided into three layers. Mischievous fairies live in the crown of the top tree, birds with bright feathers live in the branches of the tree, and beautiful and slender elves walk in the big tree under the tree. on the ground."
"In this way, around the world tree, the kingdom of the three elves gradually established, and the three elves began to write their own poems and legends..."
Yixue's words were like soft ballads, telling the ancient story, while Irene listened quietly, her eyes were intoxicated, immersed in it, and it was difficult to wake up for a long time.
"It's really beautiful. Even though I've heard these legends before, it's like a nostalgic ballad when told from Yi Xue's mouth." Irene murmured.
Books can record words, but the emotions, tunes, and ballads left over from those times cannot be fully recorded in books. After migrating to the northern continent, the ice elves lost too much of the past.
"Can you teach me, Master Yixue, those poetic legends you told about." Irene solemnly asked Yixue Gelin.
"It's very troublesome. I'm not as patient as little Lorraine." Yi Xue shook her head.
"I'll teach you again, if you can't learn it, then don't blame me."
"Well, no problem."

After leaving 'Skalandi', Lorraine Hill searched for the hidden garden on the barren frozen tundra according to the news and legends he had received before.
Where will it be?
Lorraine Hill let go of his perception and flew across the monotonous snow-white land after another.
The mountains are undulating, the sea is filled, and her attention is slowly being consumed.
Finally, after a fruitless search one day, Lorraine Hill landed on a coast.
There is no city near here, and the dark rocky ridge is exposed on the snowfield, which is very conspicuous. With the tide rising and falling, you can hear the continuous and brittle sound.
Swept across a clean stone, the girl sat by the seaside, looking at the undulating blue sea in the distance.
It is not foamy waves that wash the coast, but countless white ice cubes. Just like breaking a lot of glass and throwing it into the sea, these shattered pieces of ice collided with each other, and then against the backdrop of the waves, they continued to wash against the coast.
It's such a rare sight, the girl sighed in her heart, even in the past era of advanced information, she had only seen the sea with icebergs floating, and she didn't want to have the special scene of ice blocks submerging the sea.
Because he searched for several days without any results, Lorraine Hill also felt a little tired.
She decided to stay here for one night today.
Find a small valley with a leeward wind, take out the rabbit wool tent that I haven’t used for a long time, set it up easily, and then spread thick blankets and soft quilts.
Squatting in the small tent, Lorraine Hill was holding a small copper stove, writing his recent diary sleepily, and then drawing his itinerary for these days on the map.
Wow, I'm so sleepy.
She yawned and then fell asleep slowly on the pillow.
At the same time, the sky outside is also gradually darkening, and the polar night in this area is also coming. In the next few months, you will no longer see the sun, but the eternally dark starry sky.
After a long, long time in the dream ~IndoMTL.com~ the girl woke up hazily, looked at her pocket watch, she probably looked like she had slept all day.
"It's time to get up, Lorraine Hill." She said to herself, and then patted her cheeks to wake herself up a little.
Packing up the blanket and quilt, stepping out of the gray rabbit fur tent, a vast and endless night sky appeared in the eyes of the girl.
The air is extremely clean and transparent, and one can clearly see the starlight in the sky. The vast Milky Way star dust forms a huge oblique nebula on this dark canvas, in which the starlight is shining, densely covered and endless.
A series of gradually changing auroras hang down from the sky, and the huge light curtain is so magnificent that it makes people feel extremely small. The sense of existence is overwhelmed by it, and there is an illusion that it almost flies up and melts into one of the dust.
It also gradually changes from bright blue to dark green, from lavender to light yellow, magnificent and sacred, separated from all the mundane in the world, eternal and distant.
"It's really beautiful."
