She Is Not a Witch Chapter 63: Lorrain Hill with the lantern
In April, there is a gentle sea breeze blowing on the streets of Hopeland, and the soothing sound of waves from afar is heard from time to time.
There are still a few water marks on the street after the night rain. The gray stone bricks gradually become white and delicate in the sun, and they have a fresh feeling in the wind.
On the street next to the gate of the Calites Chamber of Commerce, Lorrain Hill was carrying a vine wooden box to say goodbye to the people behind him. Today, she is wearing a light white dress with a thin blue belt on the waist and fine hollow floral ornaments on the corners. Beside her is Eidolon dressed in refreshing summer clothes.
"Just send it here, I told everyone yesterday, no fanfare." Looking at Chelsea and a dozen past acquaintances behind her, the girl waved, her light gold hair fluttered and flicked past. Those soft cheeks.
"Okay, eldest lady." Seeing this, Chelsea also stood still, holding his footsteps, with his arms around his waist and saluting everyone.
"See you later, everyone."
Speaking of Lorrain Hill holding the Eidolon beside him, the two leaped lightly, and then rose towards the blue sky, slowly turning into small black spots, and disappearing into the clouds.
Flying in the sky blown by the sea breeze, the two overlooked below, and the panoramic view of Hopelander gradually came into view. The orange-red tiled roofs, matched with white walls, rows of houses are arranged in a staggered manner in the streets. On the side, the whole city embraces the ocean in a crescent shape. Ships with white sails are docked in the port, and occasionally a few iron-clad ships with black smoke come in and out, bringing a little bit of excitement and noise.
"A little bit reluctant." Eidolon flew beside Lorrain Hill, talking about his thoughts when he left.
"Did you find a good playmate?" Lorraine Hill smiled and looked at the little guy beside him.
"Well, it's fun to play games with Lan Lier at Feng Nao's house. She will have a lot of fun things." Speaking of Lan Lier's small inventions and games, Eidolon's eyes seemed to appear as small stars.
"But Lan Lier can't accompany you lately. Teacher Felia asked her and Lingxin to perform with the group." The girl said about the arrangements made by Teacher Felia recently. Lan Lier is currently the entourage alchemist of the Fenghua Opera Troupe, who is responsible for preparing the musical alchemy props in the team. Sometimes she has to learn to perform on stage and learn how to operate the opera troupe when she takes the time, but some are busy.
"So, come again next time. Actually, I am also very curious about Lan Lier's opera troupe, because it is quite interesting." Eidolon said seriously.
"Well, I will be back. But now, let's go home first."
As the two of them climbed higher and higher, Hopelander slowly disappeared from sight. At this time, Lorrainhill no longer restrained himself, holding Eidolon's wrist with one hand, and the two grasped tightly, then Begin to urge one's own power on wind and atmosphere.
The two are moving faster and faster in the sky, and everything in their vision begins to blur. They surpassed the speed of sound and approached the limit, like shining meteors, crossing the clear blue sky and sailing northward. Thousands of mountains and rivers passed in an instant.
The earth is turning under the body, and the sun is shifting to the center of the sky, and when it can reach the center, the two finally reached the sky above Soland, the capital of Croatia.
The verdant and light green field exudes a fresh and lively breath in the sun. The fragrance of green grass is drifting in the wind along with the fragrance of flowers and grass seeds. When the two slowly fall, you can feel a little dandelion brushing your calf. The slight itching.
Stepping on the hillside with your toes, bending some grass blades, the heat accumulated at noon spreads to the skin of the legs in the grass, and some green grasshoppers flee from the feet in fright.
The two stood on the hillside of the wilderness on the outskirts of Soland, looking at the magnificent giant city of Crancia, the towering white walls came into view.
Compared with the scene in the girl’s memory, Solander’s scale has now more than doubled. The white city wall pierces the sky like a castle fortress, and the smooth wall occasionally protrudes out round high towers, like Guards generally guard the city.
Under the city walls, there are wide avenues that spread out from the city. These avenues are paved with fine gravel, dry and hot in the sun, and carriages pass through the avenue from time to time, entering and exiting this avenue. The majestic giant city.
There is a big river surrounding Soland, its name is the Golden Moon River. More than a hundred years ago, the west wind dug a canal that runs through the north and the south, which rejuvenated the country, and the royal family was able to collect a lot of taxes through the canal, and countless gold Follow this river into Solander and store it in the palace of the royal family. And because the river is shaped like a crescent moon and surrounds Solander, in the end everyone called it the Golden Moon River, and they gradually forgot the past. name.
Today this big river is still prosperous. Long ships transported the cargo from the ship’s side, constantly sailing into the harbor in the city, unloading these wooden boxes, and then taking away some other ready-made cargo, like a long dragon. Never cut off.
Looking at the noisy and prosperous scenery, Ye Ling couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.
"It's a big city, it feels more lively than Titaniya." And when she exclaimed, a black steel train whizzed through the wilderness and entered the city with a long whistling sound. middle.
"Welcome to the capital, Solander." Lorrainhill turned his side to welcome Eidolon.
Then the two leaped lightly from the hillside and walked towards this magnificent giant city.
Under the heavy city wall, the city gate is as long as a cave, towering and empty. Walking below can feel the wind blowing behind you, and hear a little echo. Following the enthusiastic crowd, the two walked into this Crancia city together.
Passing through the city gate, the bustling city scene illuminated by direct sunlight crowded into the two people's field of vision, filling it up. Light green, bright blue, berry red, and empty blue roofs are leaping on both sides of the street. Various shops are dazzling, dressed in different styles, people of different races walk through this street, and there are enthusiastic shouts everywhere.
Seasonal fruits, handicrafts, snacks and barbecues, weapons and blades, life tools, alchemy creations, etc. from all over Crancia, there are people stopping and watching almost every stall. Here, you can find almost all the commodities you can think of. The prosperous and diverse market attracts travelers and businessmen from all over the north and south. They stay here, looking for things they are interested in and have never seen.
Looking at so many pedestrians, Lorrain Hill and Eidolon also stood a little closer, and the two followed the crowd into the street, looking curiously at the things on both sides.
An orc in a short-sleeved leather jacket walked past the two of them carrying a heavy wooden barrel. The two-meter-high body was like a hill, shielding the sun from the sun, and it smelled of sweat.
"Lime, the beer you asked for is here." He came to a tavern and opened his mouth. His voice was like a lion roar, loud and trembling, which made many passersby's legs weak.
"Ok, I will come here."
There was a response from the tavern, and soon a thin human man opened the door and walked out.
"Let’s put it to the back first. Tonight, many guests have reserved places. It is estimated that it will consume almost all night." He skillfully guided the lionmane orc to the back door of the tavern and said hello. , Seems to be used to such a roaring voice.
"Hey, is Uncle Feige here today? Have you brought the kind of orange wine I said before." A girl with rabbit ears in a black and white vest uniform also walked out and looked at the dress It seems to be the bartender and bartender in the store.
"Ah, I'm sorry, that kind of fruit wine is sold out. It seems to be very hot recently, and many people have ordered it, and it is full." The lionmane orc rubbed his head embarrassedly, his thick hand is like a stone , To shade the sun in front of this rabbit-eared girl.
"Hey, I've said it before. Uncle Feige can't let the brewery build more?" Looking up at the strong orc in front of her, the rabbit-eared girl questioned with her hands on her waist. The red jade pupils, coupled with the pair of snow-white rabbit ears, are indescribably cute.
"Well, the lady attorney said that the wine will be restricted recently, because there are too many drunk people and our winery has been notified." He turned his head a little embarrassed, and replied in defense.
"Well, it's a rare time when business is good." After knowing that it would be useless to complain, the rabbit-eared girl turned her back and waved her hand, not paying attention to the lionmane orc.
"Well, I heard that a batch of ice-brewed grape wine was shipped from Sanctuary recently. Maybe I can help you ask." Watching the rabbit-eared girl leaving, the lionmane orc thought Staying, and then came up with another idea.
"Hey, really?" Upon hearing the news, the rabbit-eared girl turned her head again and jumped to the lion's mane orc.
"Really." Then the two exchanged again.
Looking at the two people on the street, Ye Ling's eyes showed a curious and curious look.
"They get along so well, and it feels so natural. When I was in school, didn't those orc classmates say that human society is hard to stay, and many places bully and reject them."
"Well, maybe it's different in Crancia." Lorrainhill shook his finger slightly, and then went on with Eidolon.
Compared with Titania, who is elegant, but leans towards the classical aristocratic style, Solande looks more lifelike, and the colors are richer and brighter.
Many of the store plaques along the street are painted on dark brown wooden boards with light-colored paint, which is very bright and eye-catching.
"Scent of Glazed Glass" perfume shop, "Ice Fire Cube" alchemy shop, "Oriental Fire" restaurant, "Elf Seven Brews" store specializing in elven drinks, "North Wind" fur clothing store, "Blooming Spike" "Food shop, "Bingche" fruit and vegetable shop, etc.
Their decoration styles are different, there is a combination of fantasy and alchemy, which is rare in other parts of the mainland.
Walking in the street, Lorrain Hill and Eidolon can still see many students in neat uniforms. Some of them take advantage of the noon break to buy things, or eat, and talk about things in the college. From the appearance point of view, they also come from different regions. Some are northern orcs with curved horns or animal ears, some are residents of the southern coast with slightly different brown accents, and some are from the end of the western desert. Haiya opened two small mouths behind the student uniform, revealing a pair of black and white wings.
Even though they originally came from different places, they didn't care about each other's different races or identities when they spoke. They were very casual and harmonious, and occasionally joke and joke innocuously.
"It feels really good." Seeing this, Eidolon nodded his head, saying it was great.
"Sister Lorland is amazing, hum."
"Why are you talking about my name again." Walking down the street, Lorrain Hill asked the little guy next to him curiously.
"Of course it was Sister Lorraine who is amazing, so she has such a beautiful scene." She praised Lorraine Hill, as if she was talking about herself, with an indescribable joy.
"I've known for a long time, Sister Lorraine will be great, hehe." Ye Ling shook his body triumphantly, almost standing in the middle of the road and announced loudly.
In response, Lorrain Hill smiled and shook his head.
"In fact, everyone did it together. Many things can't be done by me alone." She raised her head and looked at the floating clouds in the sky, the clear sky.
"During my absence, everyone is moving in the direction of their dreams."
"But, but, it must be Sister Lorland's great contribution, because there is one, and everything is behind." Ye Ling insisted on his thoughts.
"Hey, okay, okay, this is up to you." As Lorrain Hill said, he pulled Eidolon and walked towards the center of the city.
Passing through the lively market, walking through the bustling commercial street, to the square in the center of Solander, a square monument stands in the square, and several soldiers stand upright around it.
Panqing’s stone stele is engraved with team numbers, hero names, and difficult battles to commemorate those who died in independence, fighting with the Frost Alliance, and resisting the invasion of the empire and their deeds.
Under this memorial stone, there are bunches of flowers, which seem to have been left by travelers here. Even when Lorrain Hill and Eidolon approach, you can see scattered pedestrians stopping again, whispering pray.
After stopping for a while, Lorrain Hill also bought a pale bouquet and placed it gently under the stone tablet, closing his eyes and praying.
After a while, the two people slowly left here and walked towards the palace in the north of the square.
Now this is no longer the palace of the Westwind royal family, but has been transformed into the political center of Crancia. There are countless people wearing white robes and blue and gold badges entering and exiting them. They are officials and affairs belonging to the country. Officials, assisting in various matters in this huge country.
"Sister Lorrain~IndoMTL.com~Look!"
Edwin pointed to the hillside behind the palace, and a white and beautiful statue stood in it. It was a statue of a girl with three pairs of wings on her back. She is wearing a long dress with open and slightly curved wings, which seems to be blocking the rain from the sky. One hand is holding a lantern high and looking at the distant sky, the other hand is slightly lifted back, and her slender fingers are stretched. .
Below her, a group of statues of small figures of different shapes walked forward along the arc of the skirt, which was like a raised mountain road, leading them towards the bright light. Direction.
The images of these villains come from different races, including orcs with long horns, thin humans, winged tribes with wings on their backs, men and women with rabbit ears, and their clothes and holdings also represent For different professions, there are scholars wearing robes and holding scrolls, warriors with long swords and armors, sailors with sailing caps and sextants, farmers with hoes, and wrenches and irons. Shovel workers, as well as the elderly, children, etc. Hundreds of small figures gathered on the arc of this beautiful skirt, climbing forward, step by step approaching the front of the lantern.
This is Solander, the largest statue in Crancia, and its name is ‘Lorland Hill with Lantern’.
