She Is Not a Witch Chapter 6: The current situation
The boy's name is Pullman, from the remote village on the edge of the Westwind Kingdom, Brown Wood Village.
Pullman said that he had been walking eastward from home without stopping, and it took about 7 days to get here.
Lorrain Hill estimated that according to previous life experience, ordinary people can walk up to 50 kilometers a day, but this is a forest mountain road, so discounts are needed, which means that from the forest to the west 150~200 kilometers away Can get in touch with human society.
"I made a mistake, so I escaped."
After a long hesitation in silence, the boy said why he appeared here, but he did not explain what he had done wrong.
When he said this, his eyes were a little dim, and his voice became low unconsciously.
Looking at the young boy who became silent again, the girl guessed that there might be some unspeakable difficulties in it.
Lorraine Hill stopped asking the bottom of the matter, and asked another question.
"Where do you plan to go in the future?"
"I...I don't know, maybe I will find a place to live in the forest, or maybe someday will be eaten by the monsters passing by."
A wry smile appeared on the boy's face, and he buried his face in his arms on his knees.
The yellow bonfire crackled in the night, dispelling the chill of the mountain night, the smell of burning wood permeated all around, and occasionally the sound of insects in the distance could be heard.
The forest at night is not safe. Moreover, this is the inaccessible Tiziran Mountains. Traces of monsters with extraordinary powers can often be seen. Fortunately, the red dragonfly hunting nearby died soon, and other monsters have not The chassis spread over, so it's fairly stable recently.
Juvenile believes that ordinary people like himself are looking for death when entering the forest.
But, he has no other way out.
Why did you come to this point? I am a timid person, and I just want to be an ordinary person who helps others raise sheep.
If you want to talk about the biggest dream, it is to please the village head Aunt Sandy and let her agree to marry Joanna.
Although Qiongna has some freckles on her face, she really likes her lively look. Unfortunately, Aunt Sandy is a tailor and her family is much better than herself, and she can occasionally eat white bread. And he has only eaten half of white bread in his whole life, which is still the smaller half that his cousin got when he got married.
The young man stared at the campfire in front of him blankly, lost in memories and thoughts.
"Have you considered how to live?"
Lorrain Hill took out a few fruits and put them on the side of the fire, ready to wait for them to be roasted before eating. The green fruits were similar to the citrus in memory, with a sweet and sour taste.
"I don't know..."
There is a flame of hatred burning in the heart of the boy, but he feels disappointed for his weakness.
"Well then, can you tell me about the outside matter, can you?"
"You...no, hello, honorable eldest lady. Thank you for your help. Ask, and I will tell you everything I know."
"Don't be so respectful, just call me Lorrain Hill."
"This, let's call you Miss Lorrain Hill, otherwise it would be too rude."
"Well, you care about politeness, did anyone teach you?" Lorrain Hill was a little curious.
"No, I just saw that everyone in the city called those noble ladies like that."
"Well, have you ever gone to school?"
"No, civilians like us are not qualified to go to school, and don't have that much money. In our village, only the head of the village can read, and the rest only know a few important numbers."
"Well, what age is it now?"
"It should be more than 1600 years in the Third Age. I don't know the details. I just heard the pastor who passed by the village."
Has it been so long? The Second Era is still in Trina's memory, and I don’t know when it ended, and the Third Era has passed more than 1,600 years. Lorrain Hill sighed, then continued to ask.
"Which countries are there on the mainland now?"
"Sorry, I don't know. I was the furthest away from home in Trin City. I only knew that I was in the Westwind Kingdom."
"In other countries...I have only heard of the Principality of Black Rock, which seems to be a country of mercenaries in the north. I have seen some mercenaries claiming to be from the Witz mountain people of Black Rock."
Lorrain Hill later chatted for a while and got a rough idea of the current situation. Although Pullman doesn't know much, judging from the daily life, customs and work he described, the current world should be similar to the situation in medieval Europe, with limited production capacity of the people and the nobles to rule their own territories.
As for the extraordinary abilities, Pullman just heard that the captain of Trin City has the strength of Sequence 1. This is already very powerful, even the nearby robbers dare not provoke him.
is very weak. Although Lorrain Hill himself is only Sequence 1, but because she studied under Trinasa, a powerful figure in the Mercury Dynasty, in Trinasa’s description, Sequence 1 is just for learning transition. The ~IndoMTL.com~ is at most assisting, and the warriors of the dynasty start at least in Sequence 2.
Even, the most elite combat unit in the dynasty was Sequence 5 with all members. For example, the Knights of the New Moon Death Scythe at the time were all in Sequence 5 Death Scythe Knights.
There is no way. At that time, with the accumulation of thousands of years in the elven nations, the combat effectiveness per capita was very high, and soldiers who did not have the strength of Sequence 2 were not qualified to play cannon fodder.
What exactly has the world of Ivar experienced in these 1600 years? It actually degenerates to this point, and the elves have not counterattacked. Although the silver elves have been annihilated, there are still a lot of the Mori elves left. There are all the ice elves who have moved to the northern continent, but they are intact.
There are still many questions, but today it is impossible to understand clearly. Let’s go out and understand later, the girl stopped asking.
"Where does Miss Lorrain Hill come from. Like you, she should be a lady from a noble family."
From the poor insights of a young man, one can only imagine that the young lady from the big noble family can have such looks and clothes. Besides, the girl has white fingers and no traces of work. This is not something ordinary people can do.
"No, I'm just an ordinary person...well, I lived in the forest with my teacher since I was a child, but the teacher passed away not long ago."
After thinking a little bit, the girl replied in this way, which is basically true.
"The injury on your body, is it okay? I see blood on the clothes."
"It's okay, I won't die for a while, but...some things I'm afraid I will never be able to do."
The boy’s voice choked a little.
"What's the matter?"
The night breeze in the forest hits and blows, the bonfire keeps swaying, and the boy begins to tell an ordinary and sad story.
