She Is Not a Witch Chapter 86: Viscount Morrow

The next day, after traveling all the way, the caravan finally arrived at the destination, which was the castle where Viscount Morrow was.

After climbing over many hills and forests, a flat field appeared between two tall mountains.

Wheat is planted in the field, and the fields are scattered on the ground like large grids, which makes people look at it from a distance and has a pleasing aesthetic feeling.

On the side of the high mountain near the west, there is a circle of white stone walls, and inside is a small city. Continuing up the line of sight along the hillside, you can see the white castle shrouded in trees.

The castle, which was built more than a hundred years ago, is not dilapidated, and still completely retains the style of the past. A few soldiers are patrolling in the watchtower of the castle, overlooking the small town and fields below.

Lorraine Hill followed the convoy into the city. After being inspected by the guards, the convoy continued to move forward and slowly walked towards the hillside where the castle was located.

"Welcome, Miss Charlene." A guard captain in full armor stepped forward, and he lifted the steel mask, revealing a slightly handsome face.

"This is the captain of the castle guard, Kevin, he is an old acquaintance." Charlene introduced to Lorraine Hill beside her.

"Hello, Miss Swordsman." Kevin has short chestnut hair and a little stubble on his chin. He looks about 25-30 years old.

"Hello." Lorraine Hill nodded, stretched out his gauntleted hand, and briefly shook it.

"Is this Miss Charlene's new partner? It's very strong." Kevin probably has the strength of Sequence 4, and he can be regarded as a small master around him, so he can naturally detect the extraordinaryness of Miss Swordsman.

"Of course, Messia is our hero." Charlene led Lorraine Hill into the castle, talking about what happened along the way.

"Is there such a big bear? It's not a trivial matter." Kevin rubbed his chin, recalling the various information he had received recently. This peaceful place seems to have seen a lot of monsters recently.

"Forget it, I can't figure it out for now, I'll talk to Master Mo Ruo later."

"Lord Mo Ruo has been looking forward to Miss Charlene's arrival recently. After losing his beloved piano, he has become a lot more irritable. Every time we see him, we are a little worried."

Afterwards, Kevin also talked to Charlene about what happened in the castle recently. Viscount Morrow is a music fan, and his biggest hobby on weekdays is playing his beloved piano in the forest.

"According to the singing of birds, the sound of the sun and the breeze, is the best enjoyment in life." This is the mantra that Viscount Morrow often talks about.

He likes nature, hates the same symphony in big cities, and prefers quiet and moving minors, and lives in this castle in his hometown all year round. If it wasn't for a small animal that broke his piano some time ago, he would probably be sitting on the seat in the shade again at this point in time.

"According to Master Mo Ruo's request, we specially bought a brand new piano from the well-known musical instrument shop in Longyi City, and by the way, we also hired an apprentice tuner to inspect and assemble this piano." Sha Miss Lin said no problem, they brought what the viscount wanted.

"However, other goods ordered by Lord Viscount, such as fruit, wine, and cloth, lost a lot on the road. The black bear caused a lot of damage to the carriage."

"These problems are not big. Believe me, Master Mo Ruo is more concerned about whether the piano is in good condition. As long as Miss Charlene brings the piano, you will be satisfied with more than seven points." Kevin said openly, and then greeted the castle The maid in the house went to inform the housekeeper.

The members of the caravan unloaded the goods one by one in the open space of the castle and moved them carefully. A middle-aged housekeeper also came over.

"Oh, what a beautiful day. Thank you, Miss Charlene." He looked at the slowly moving box, with an exaggerated and admiring smile on his face, and then stepped forward to greet Miss Charlene.

"I will notify Master Mo Ruo immediately, and everyone will rest here for a while."

"Jasmine, go to the kitchen and prepare some water for everyone. I think everyone will be thirsty."

"Yes, my lord." A young maid nodded in salute, and then walked towards the back with small steps.

After chatting for a while, the butler returned to the castle again, seemingly looking for Viscount Morrow, while Kevin and several guards checked the goods one by one and moved vegetables, fruits and the like to the designated warehouse.

At this moment, Lorraine Hill was free. She was just a guard hired by the caravan and did not need to move things. Sitting on a bench beside him, he looked around boredly.

From the side of the castle, there is a little moss on the walls made of stone bricks, and there are rust spots where water often flows. Compared with the slightly ancient outer wall of the castle, the inner building is much newer. Just the light-colored light-yellow wall on the wall can be seen that it was painted in recent years, which is very clean and beautiful.

Looking upward along the wall, one can see arched window sills, inlaid with glass lattice windows, and some windows are not closed, but let the wind blow through the curtains and blow into them.

At this time, a female face poked out from behind the window, looking down quietly, and retreated into the room after a while, never to be seen again.

Is it a female family member in the castle? I just don't know if it is Viscount Moruo's wife or daughter. The girl simply guessed.

A burst of crisp footsteps came from the castle at this time, and the sound of leather shoes stepping on the marble slab at that time could not help but remind people of a certain rigid and conservative dress.

Soon, the footsteps came out of the hall and came to the courtyard in the castle.

"Master Moruo." Kevin saluted respectfully, acting like a dedicated guard.

The girl turned her gaze away when she heard the sound, and a little old man wearing a black dress and leather shoes appeared in sight. He seemed to be around fifty years old, with a figure of about 1.5 meters, and a shiny beard on his chin. .

The Lord Viscount didn't pay attention to Kevin's greeting, and simply waved his hand, then walked down the steps and came towards the box placed on the open space.

"Where is the piano I want?" He said as he walked.

"Here, please take a look." Charlene asked the caravan members beside her to open the box, revealing the well-preserved violin body inside, but it has not been assembled yet, lying sideways in the thick blanket.

The yellowed fingertips gently caressed the shiny and smooth body of the piano, and the face of the viscount showed an intoxicated expression.

"Very good, very good."

Immediately, he raised his body and looked at Charlene.

"I said before that we need a tuner from the musical instrument shop to assemble the piano. Have you brought it?"

"We discussed this matter with the musical instrument workshop, but several masters in the musical instrument workshop expressed their unwillingness to leave Dragon Wing City. You also know that the southern border has not been peaceful recently..." Charlene considered carefully Listening to her words, Viscount Mo Ruo frowned deeper and deeper.

"But fortunately, we still found a person who is capable of tuning and assembling for you. He is the apprentice of Master Ji De, and he is now skilled enough to fulfill your needs." Charlene asked The members brought in a young man in his 20s.

This young man is wearing a dark green turban and a light robe. Looking at those slender fingers, it makes people a little more trustworthy.

Looking at this tuning apprentice for a long time, Viscount Moruo snorted indifferently.

"My patience is limited. You must assemble the piano before the sun sets today, or you will bear the consequences." After speaking, he left with his hands behind his back in dissatisfaction.

"Kevin, bring a few people to help, and try to let them get it done as soon as possible." His commanding voice came from afar.

"Yes, my lord." Kevin answered again standing at attention.

The originally relaxed atmosphere in the castle became awkward and tense.

"It's okay, you've been studying under Master Gide for so long, you can do it." Miss Charlene had no choice but to comfort the young apprentice beside her, who seemed to be frightened by Viscount Morrow's aura.

After all, they are just ordinary civilians, and they can't imagine what it would be like to offend a sealed nobleman.

After some explanations, Miss Charlene came over.

"I'm sorry, Mesia. I wanted to show you around here, but I have to do other things first."

"Why don't you do this, I'll ask a few companions to arrange a place for you to live in a small town, and take a rest first."

"It's okay, work is important after all." Lorraine Hill shook his head to express his indifference, and then walked out of the castle with several caravan members.

As she was about to leave, the girl caught a glimpse of the figure behind the glass window on the castle tower again, but because of the angle, she could see it clearly. It was a girl in a lotus leaf round neck dress, about 20 years old, with fair skin and dark golden curly hair.

Is it Viscount Moreau's daughter, but she doesn't look like him at all. The girl thought for a moment, then walked towards the gravel path on the hillside.

After arriving in this small town, some members of the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce had already taken a rest. They rented a yard specially for storing goods and carriages, and a lot of accompanying personnel were also arranged here.

"Miss Mesia, this is the room arranged for you. What do you think?" After getting along these days, most of the caravan members also got to know this Miss Swordsman.

"Yes." Looking at the room on the second floor, although the furnishings are simple, but fortunately it is considered tidy, the girl nodded.

"Then let's rest here first, we will stay for a few more days." The young man from the caravan briefly introduced the next itinerary.

After coming here, in addition to handing over the goods, they will also buy some local specialties before leaving, staying for about a week in the middle.

In this way, Lorraine Hill stayed temporarily, taking advantage of the time to be alone and stable to practice his current Transcendent Sequence.

The sky gradually darkened, the birds in the forest sang and flew low, and the setting sun in the distance dyed the leaves in the shade of the forest red.

A sound of pressing the piano resounded in the forest. Although it was not rhythmic, each sound was pressed back and forth several times.

"Are you ready?" Miss Charlene looked at the apprentice wiping away his sweat.

"Should be fine." The apprentice answered a little unconfidently. Although he couldn't find any faults so far, he still didn't dare to guarantee it.

"There is still a short time before dark, let's check again. Viscount Moruo is still very demanding."

"Yeah." Then the apprentice began to play carefully and observe again.

Charlene turned around and looked at the gradually darkening woods around her, feeling that the evening wind had also become a bit cooler.

I really don't know how Viscount Mo Ruo usually maintains this place. It feels like there are no protective measures. Wouldn't there be wild animals coming over on weekdays?

Charlene was thinking in her heart, her gaze swept across the ground.

"Ah! Snake, snake, snake!"

Suddenly, a terrified cry sounded in Charlene's ears. When she turned her head, she saw a long snake the same color as a fallen leaf wrapped around the apprentice's ankle, and its teeth bit her thigh directly. panic.

The long snake with the pattern of dead leaves is not too big, but the twisted body and the triangular head make people feel creepy.

For this, Charlene couldn't help but take a few steps back, feeling a little flustered for a while.

"What's the matter?" Hearing the shouts from the mountain behind the castle, Kevin, the captain of the guard, rushed out of the castle. He jumped out, ran down the steps quickly and alternately, and entered the small forest.

Seeing that the apprentice had fallen to the ground and began to twitch, Kevin grabbed the snake's head, pulled it out, and then kept shaking it, throwing the snake to the side of the tree trunk.

It's a pity that this snake is not an ordinary creature, but a magical beast with extraordinary attributes. It twisted on the ground for a while, but it didn't die, but rushed out to the middle of the forest.

"Damn it!" Kevin yelled, his eyes swept away, he needed a weapon.

As if he suddenly remembered something, he reached out to his waist and pulled out a small knife with the length of his thumb. Touching the knife, a burst of cold blue light spread over it, and then held by Kevin, he rushed towards the fleeing poisonous snake.

With a quick step, the withered leaf snake was caught up, and Kevin reached out to catch it again.

The moment the snake was held, it struggled violently, turned around and bit down with its fangs. It's a pity that Kevin was wearing armor all over his body, and only a little black smoke came out from his fangs biting on it, but it didn't penetrate. It currently only has Sequence 1, and it's not very powerful yet.

Holding the back of the snake, Kevin cut it off directly with a small knife, split the snake's body in two, and then cut off the snake's head several times in a row.

The withered leaf snake, which lost its head, writhed on the ground, and then slowly stopped after a long time, becoming only active occasionally. At this time, the woods finally became quiet again.

At night, Lorraine Hill walked out of the room and went downstairs to eat.

Come to a nearby tavern, where many caravan personnel are already drinking.

"Hi, Miss Hero, you're here too." A group of people waved and greeted her, which made many local residents curious.

Because it was not wartime, Lorraine Hill did not wear armor, but simply wore a blue and white dress with a long sword on his waist.

After sitting down, she ordered a few local specialties, and then sat and listened to everyone talking and chatting.

"Have you heard that there seem to be more monsters in the forest recently?"

"It seems to be like this. A few days ago when Uncle Mond went on patrol in the mountains, he met a special black wolf. Although it was only a Sequence 2, it looked very cunning. I followed it for a long time. See Mond The uncle stopped when he entered the city."

"No, when I passed by the birch forest that day, I heard a terrifying low growl, like two monsters fighting on the other side of the forest. Unfortunately, I was too timid to go and look. I still don't know what kind of monster it is."

"I remember that they were cleaned by the army the year before last, why are there suddenly more of them?"

"I don't know, maybe it came from other places? I heard that some monsters will expand their territory after they advance, and then drive other monsters in the territory."

"But I haven't heard of any particularly powerful monsters nearby. It's really strange. These monsters seem to have appeared overnight."

"It's very difficult for an ordinary beast to be promoted to a monster. It takes too many chances."

"I don't know." A resident shook his head.

"Recently, Lord Viscount sent an order ~IndoMTL.com~ to tell the residents of the city not to go up the mountain as much as possible. Although it is a kind reminder, it is also quite strange, because this Lord usually does not care about outsiders dying."

"Could it be that some secret treasure was found in the forest?"

"Haha, you've heard too many stories about bards." Everyone burst into laughter.

"Forget it, forget it, I heard that Lord Viscount has issued a lot of missions, so that adventurers and mercenaries will come to clean up the monsters. There must be nothing shady inside, I was overthinking." A drinker shook his head, then dipped down and took another swig.

"Come on, let's not get drunk tonight."

In the tavern in the mountain city, there was another bustling noise.

I feel that this task is not very simple. Listening to the conversation in the tavern, Lorraine Hill recalled the black bear he met on the road, and the 'Fire Eye Warbler' assassin who tried to sneak in and intercept the goods. Maybe something special happened in the territory where Viscount Mo Ruo was. .
