She Is Not a Witch Chapter 58: Return to Calites

Hoplander, Calites Chamber of Commerce.

Under the purple eaves of varying heights, the white stone walls show light white and light orange mottled squares in the sunlight. This is the headquarters of the Calites Chamber of Commerce and a new post-war reconstruction site. Compared to the past, it looks more spacious and clean, and the building is taller and more elegant.

Because of building battleships and making muskets during the war, the Chamber of Commerce has gained high profits over the years, and at the same time it has also been rapidly developed. The number of people is nearly five times that of the past, and it has become one of the largest chambers of commerce in southern Croatia. It has a strong influence on the surrounding areas.

Standing in front of the gate of the Chamber of Commerce, Lorraine Hill couldn't even recognize the place he stayed in the past, because the changes were so great.

First is the gate. The walls and gates that used to be only seven or eight meters high are now built like fortresses. The white gateposts are extremely strong, standing on both sides, with two purple-pointed watchtowers on top. Several small shooting holes are scattered. There is a heavy steel grid on the top of the main entrance that can be dropped, and the thick wooden door is rarely closed, but looking at the strength of the number of fingers, it is estimated that the small artillery cannot be fired.

In order to conceal the overwhelming atmosphere of the door, the door and the walls on both sides were covered with light purple vines, and some of them were blooming with unknown flowers, white and purple, dotted on the walls and doorposts.

"Hello, does this lady have anything to contact our chamber of commerce?"

Seeing that Lorrain Hill had been standing still at the gate, a guard came and asked. He was wearing a steel armor, holding a halberd in one hand, and wearing a small lacquer night flower badge on his chest. .

"I want to find Ms. Chelsea." Lorrain Hill recalled the acquaintances of the Chamber of Commerce in the past, and it was the maid Chelsea that had the deepest reflection.

"Master Chelsea is currently in a semi-retired state and usually does not see foreign guests. Do you have an appointment?" The guard asked patiently.

"This, um..... Just give this to her." The girl thought for a while, then took out a piece of paper and wrote her own handwriting.

Looking at the ordinary note in his hand, the young guard hesitated, but finally nodded.

"Please wait a moment." After finishing speaking, he walked to the porter behind the gate.

Squeak--

Pushing open the closed wooden door, a slight snoring sound came, and a guard who was taking a nap was lying on the table in the concierge. He looked about forty years old, with a lot of beard on his face.

"Wake up, Boss Rupert." The young guard entering the door shook the sleeping boss.

"Uh, what's wrong. It's not time to change shifts yet." He rubbed his eyes and looked at the colleague in front of him.

"There was a girl outside who wanted to see Lord Chelsea, but she didn't make an appointment. She said that she would just give her this note."

"That's it, maybe it's a salesman or someone else. Hey, I've seen too many such routines, ha~." He yawned, still looking a little sleepy.

"But that girl, how do you say it, is very unusual, I don't feel like a liar." The guard recalled the girl in the light white dress just now, with a slight affection and admiration.

"Ha, are you kidding people?" He lied and laughed.

"Okay, let me see what she wrote. Hey, I told you that the more beautiful women, the more careful, just like back then..." He said, he suddenly its stuck.

"This...." Looking at the familiar and delicate handwriting on the note, he suddenly remembered something, and stood up suddenly, startled his companions around him, and then put it on quickly, no matter what. The helmet, smashed away the companions around him, and walked out quickly.

"Is that girl still there?" he said as he walked, his tone a little excited.

"It should be there, what's the matter." Seeing Rupert, the old man in the Chamber of Commerce, was so excited, the guard became a little nervous.

"It's okay, is that the one?" After the two walked out the door, Rupert pointed to the girl who was waiting quietly outside the door.

"Yes, it's her."

"Okay, very good, young man, you did a very good job today. It can even be said to be the best thing you have done in the years of working in the Chamber of Commerce." He looked at the girl who was standing quietly. Taped on the shoulder of his companion, the words became more and more excited and excited.

"This..." Before the guard could react, Rupert strode outside. Seeing this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

"Master Lacey, you are finally back!" Rupert walked closer and couldn't recognize it. This was the former head of the Chamber of Commerce, Miss Lacey.

Looking at the familiar face in front of her, Lorraine Hill didn't react for a while, and only a few seconds later remembered from her memory that this seemed to be a guard who had been there when she was in the Chamber of Commerce in the past.

But at that time he was still young and he didn't have so many beards on his face. Because of this, the girl didn't react at first.

"It turned out to be Rupert, it's been a long time since I saw you."

In the afternoon sun, the girl in the blonde and white dress answered quietly, her voice still as quiet as before, making people feel at ease.

When Rupert’s claim came out, it attracted a lot of guards by the gate. Soon, everyone gradually reacted. To the surprised colleague, the news of Miss Lacey’s return was like wings. It spread quickly within the chamber of commerce. There are running sounds everywhere, and there are sudden cheers everywhere.

"Really? Is the eldest lady really back?" An old man with gray hair stood up from the table piled with books and blueprints, with surprise on his face.

"Really, it spreads everywhere, everyone knows it." An employee in a white shirt with a book in his hand replied excitedly.

"Quickly, take me to see Miss Lacey. It's been more than ten years, and I don’t know what the young lady looks like now, whether she is married, or if she has children. It is estimated that she is a mature woman now. Madam." The old man sighed as he walked.

"Thinking that back then, we fought with the other three Tissifones. That night, the entire Hoplander was almost flattened by us."

"Don't you know how beautiful Miss Lacey is and how smart she is. At the beginning, in the Chamber of Commerce, I don't know how many guys secretly admired and liked it."

"But the eldest lady is not an ordinary person like us. She won't stay in this small place like Calites for a long time. After going to the distant place, there will only be letters coming back several times, so we can rest assured. "

Several people walked through the corridor in the mansion and walked quickly to the outside. Looking out the window beside the corridor, there were figures surging everywhere in the courtyard of the Chamber of Commerce.

Amidst the noise, a large number of people inside the chamber of commerce crowded towards the gate.

Looking at more and more people in front of him, Lorrain Hill was a little flustered, but he couldn't stop and separate these excited people.

Just as she was at a loss, a clear voice rang behind her.

"You all take a few steps back, don’t let the lady worry." The maid in black and white uniform walked slowly, standing beside the girl, she pushed the glasses in front of her nose, and glanced over with warning. The crowd, let everyone slowly calm down.

In the Calites Chamber of Commerce, there is no longer an older and more prestigious employee than this maid’s seniority. She strengthened Angus when she was young, and later joined the Chamber of Commerce, which can be said to have witnessed this All the progress of the Chamber of Commerce from scratch.

Seeing that the scene became quieter, the maid leaned over Lorrain Hill to salute.

"Welcome back, Missy."

"Well, I'm back again, Chelsea." The girl looked at the still healthy maid in front of her, and there was a little joy and nostalgia in her heart.

At that time, she had just walked out of the Tiziran Mountains and didn't know much about the current world. It was the maid who accompanied her to answer questions and teach some details about the management of the chamber of commerce.

After the two recounted a few words, under the protection of a group of guards, Lorrain Hill once again entered the long-lost chamber of commerce.

It was night, the Calites Chamber of Commerce was brightly lit, and there were lights and colorful scenes everywhere. There was even an open-air stage and dining table in the central courtyard.

In the magnificent hall, the lacquer night flower chandelier hanging from the top is extremely bright, and a golden candlelight is lit in every corner of the hall. There were long tables on the empty stone slabs of the old days, and a purple throne was placed on the main seat at the end of the center.

The main body of the throne is made of dark sandalwood with a soft color. The back of the chair is dark purple like a lacquer night flower, and the center is inlaid with black flower-like wooden nails, which embellish the dark purple back like a star.

Nowadays, the long table is full of various kinds of delicacies, with neat square wooden chairs on both sides, and on both sides of the hall, nearly a hundred maids in black and white uniforms stand on both sides, they lightly bowed and bent over. Salute, and welcome everyone who sits here.

Looking at the scene before her eyes, the girl who walked into the hall couldn't help but think of the scene when she first arrived in Hopland that day, and that night, she determined the identity of Angus' successor in the Chamber of Commerce and began to take charge of the Chamber of Commerce. .

"Welcome Lacey-sama~" The maids spoke together, and then they showed their sincere smiles. Compared with other places, the Calites Chamber of Commerce has indeed provided employees with a more stable protection, and the same is true, everyone. Thanks for this Miss Lacey.

Wearing a dark-purple lacquered night dress, with golden hair falling on his shoulders, Lorrainhill walked slowly to the throne of the past. Gently stroking the object left by Angus, the girl felt like a dream for a while.

I don't want an accidental encounter that year, which would have such a profound impact later.

Angus, Elaine, Serres, Chelsea, Jellink, Rickel, etc., the faces in the memories gradually blurred over the years, and nearly ten years passed without knowing it. Years.

What will happen in the next ten years? Maybe until then, some faces will slowly disappear, and they will never be seen again.

Life is like a journey, always moving forward, always separating.

Sitting calmly on this familiar seat, Lorrain Hill looked at the figures at the table again, some of which were familiar and some were unfamiliar, which made people sigh with the change of time.

"Let's start the banquet, I hope everyone will spend a good night together." Lorrain Hill, a rare drink, raised a glass of lavender liquid to congratulate everyone.

"Yes, our forever Miss Lacey."

Everyone seemed to have agreed, and answered like this, the figures sitting upright are so proud and proud.

They are a member of Calites. They love this place. This Chamber of Commerce not only allows them to feed their families and have perfect protection, but also allows them to find their own value. When battleships and sea ships are launched, when pieces of beautiful and durable goods are released, there is always a sense of peace and pride flowing in the chest.

Perhaps this eldest lady shouldn't be praised too much, but it is undeniable that if she hadn't appeared, this chamber of commerce would have disappeared ten years ago, and they still don't know where they will live.

"Then, let me raise a toast to Master Lacey again!"

"Drink!"

In the lobby and courtyard, laughter and cries never stopped. Today after the war, everything is finally settled down. They are no longer the same as they used to, moving around, avoiding the war, and now it's finally time to celebrate.

It was night, and the banquet lasted until very late, and Lorrain Hill’s white cheeks were slightly red from drinking. She constantly listened to everyone's experiences over the years, the resistance in the war, the sad relocation of the past, those fighting and rebuilding on the island, the ecstatic scenes of watching the battleship launch, and finally returning to Hopeland. Your peace and joy.

"Thanks for your hard work." Holding an empty wine glass at his waist, Lorrain Hill leaned against the back of the seat slightly, looking dimly at the people sitting in front of him. In the narration, some people slowly shed tears, immersed in the emotion of remembrance and nostalgia.

In the end, the banquet was completely over when a little white appeared in the sky.

After that, Lorraine Hill stayed in the Chamber of Commerce for a while. During this period, the members of the branch heard the news of her return, and many people came back overnight. So the banquet inside the Chamber of Commerce was held for nearly a week before it slowly stopped. .

Another morning, in a quiet bedroom.

The girl’s silver hair was scattered among the pillows, her round shoulders protruded from her nightdress, her body was still slightly undulating in the quilt, after a while, when the pale sunlight shone on her face, at this time Only then opened the trembling eyelashes.

Is it morning. Lorrainhill rubbed his eyes slightly and sat up from the bed.

Since being taken care of by Chelsea, she seems to have become lazy recently, and she doesn't wake up as early as she used to be.

Because the bed is so comfortable, maybe this is the magic of the quilt, it can seal people in it.

The girl thought to herself, then got out of bed and began to change clothes.

After a while, Lorrain Hill nodded slightly, looking at himself wearing the mirror, that's it.

I have also stayed in the Calites Chamber of Commerce for nearly half a month, and finally sorted out and dealt with the various affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and I can relax for a while.

Today she is going to visit Mrs. Felia, the former music teacher, and bring back the playful Eidolon and two birds.

After reuniting with Lan Lier, Feng Nao and others that night, considering that she would go to the Chamber of Commerce later, it was not convenient to bring Ye Ling, so Ye Ling stayed at Feng Nao's house temporarily. At present, Lan Lier and Lingxin also live there, because Fengno's house was specially used by Mei Lu to stay in the past. It is very spacious, with a large courtyard and garden, so it is very comfortable.

It is estimated that Eidolon is playing crazy these days.

The girl looked at herself in the mirror, her silver hair slowly turned golden, then she pulled up ~IndoMTL.com~ and tied a light red ribbon. When she was ready, Lorrain Hill walked out of the room and ran out of coconut fragrance. For breakfast of bread and raspberry juice, ride on the carriage and head to the former resident of the Aniemi Chamber of Commerce.

Before going to Teacher Felia, you have to meet Feng Nao's house, Lan Lier and others.

As she got out of the car, she looked up again, and a woman who was also about to visit was caught in her eyes. This woman is holding an umbrella, wearing a dark green and pure white lace dress, and she is holding a six-year-old child by her side.

Looking at the mature and feminine figure, Lorrain Hill cried out in surprise.

"Melu?"

Looking back, the woman looked at Lorrain Hill, and soon showed a knowing smile.

"Yes, it's me, it's been a long time, Lacey."

"Come on, call Sister Lacey." She reminded the child beside her softly.

The chestnut blond little girl hid behind her mother, looked at Lorrain Hill a little tentatively, and walked out slowly for a while.

"Sister Lacey is good."
