She Is Not a Witch

"It's not a witch ( to find the latest chapter!

Northern Crancia, outside the city of Red Gravel.

The wide gravel road runs through the mountains, like a giant snake, the road is extremely smooth, and the road is covered with thick gravel and there is no muddy.

A long line of convoys are moving steadily on the road, and some carriages have calamus flowers on them, which means that they are the convoy of the Mossene Chamber of Commerce.

The Mosugne Chamber of Commerce mainly deals in clothing and furs. It started in Verga in its early years. However, in recent years it has shifted its focus to the north, because the ancient Fia grassland where the raw materials are produced is closer, and the cashmere coats and sweaters they produce are also mainly Sell ​​in the north.

This convoy is carrying a lot of finished clothes. They will go to Red Gravel City, and then follow the Laijian River to the east, through Emenas, and transport the goods to the green empire in the east.

The West Continent is separated by the Sighing Mountain Range, and only the Laijian River in the middle traverses between the mountains, and the golden plain south of the Sighing Mountain Range can pass. Among them, Laijian River is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Emenas is also a permanent neutral ground. If Cui Cui wants to attack the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua, he usually walks to the golden plains in the south.

In addition to the carriages of the Mossene Chamber of Commerce, the convoy also has some unmarked carriages at the rear. These carriages carry some passengers and are also heading to the city of Red Gravel. Because of fear of unrest on the road, they often pay a sum of money and are then allowed. Follow and be protected by the caravan.

In one of the carriages, there were six people sitting, some of them dozed off tiredly, some closed their eyes and rested, and some turned out their packages and carefully checked their luggage.

A young girl in a light brown windbreaker was leaning against the car window. Inside her was a black skirt and stockings. Her black eyes looked at the scenery outside.

The tall mountains almost obscure the entire field of view. The mountains several hundred meters high are cut open like a cake, exposing the dark red rocks inside. Layers of rocks are of different shades, dark red, light red, and brown red, constantly alternating Change, like a layered cake.

At the foot of the mountain, many miners dig in the open directly, putting stones in baskets, and then transporting them by ox carts. If you guess right, these red gravel are iron ore.

There is a blessed open-pit iron ore near the city of Red Gravel. It is rich in steel and is also close to the Lanjian River. It was once an important town in the north of the westerly wind. It is also an important industrial town planned by Croatia. Many manpower and material resources are concentrated here, and the iron ore output is much higher than before.

"Is the girl going out for the first time?" asked an uncle sitting across from the girl. His face was covered with wrinkles, but his arms were thick and strong, and there were many scars and calluses on his hands.

"Yes." The girl nodded.

"It's so brave. I have a granddaughter about the same age as you. I dare not let her travel alone at this age." The old man sighed.

"Now, is the security of Crancia okay?" the girl asked hesitantly.

"Well, compared to the time when the West Wind, the group of people in charge is indeed different. You can see the soldiers patrolling neatly every day in the city. The security is very good, but it's hard to say in the wild."

"Are there robbers in the wild?" the girl asked curiously.

"Yes, those people are originally gangsters. They used to eat and drink in the westerly wind. If you let them go to work, they can't stand it. So they ran out to fight with the soldiers and unscrupulous mercenaries. Conspired to start the business of interception and robbery."

"Does the Crancia official leave it alone?"

"Also, they will send patrols to eliminate them, but these people are all local snakes. They escape quickly and often change places. The situation in the mountains is also complicated, so they are often allowed to escape." The old man's tone seemed helpless.

"That's it..." The girl thoughtfully.

"Is Grandpa going to work in Red Gravel City?"

"Yes, the Crancia officials recently called a lot of skilled blacksmiths to Red Gravel City. I heard that they were going to hold a conference and wanted to brainstorm ways to improve their craftsmanship."

"It is not good?"

"It sounds good, but who knows the result. Westwind has done it before. Later, the nobles took the results and benefits, and we craftsmen got even more tired." The old man shook his head.

"It shouldn't be this time. I heard that they will reward those craftsmen who propose effective methods of improvement, and will also improve the treatment of outstanding craftsmen." The girl said firmly.

"Oh, the little girl is pretty sure, are you from the royal capital?" The old man doesn't care much about the results of this conference. Anyway, I have experienced many similar things, and it's nothing more than work.

"I come from a small mountain village on the border, but I have experienced many places along the way, and everyone's life is better than before."

The girl recalled what she had seen and heard along the way, and the smiles on the faces of those people couldn't be faked.

"That’s true, and so is the kid in my family. He used to play swords at a noble house and took up to 15 silver coins a month. Now he works in a workshop, 30 silver coins a month, double that "The old man smiled happily when he said that.

"Thinking about it, I really have to look forward to this conference. I hope I can see the old guys~www.wuxiaspot.com~haha."

In this way, the carriage slowly turned over several mountains, and a magnificent city appeared in everyone's eyes.

A city built on a mountain, the city is divided into several huge steps, black smoke billowing from the towering chimneys in the workshops, there is a loud roar in the city, and the foot of the city is built along the river with several tall waters. The wagons, about 200-300 meters in diameter, are driven by the flow of the river. These waterwheels rotate to transport carts of ore and black coal to the workshops in the city. Then, some finished steel products also rotate with the waterwheels and are released. Shipped in the cargo box.

There is a wide wharf along the river, and some large inland river boats are docked on the shore, unloading boxes of black coal continuously, and then carrying boxes of steel products onto the big ship.

As the carriage approached the city gate, passengers in the carriage could still hear the sound of molten iron casting and cooling, and the chimneys of some workshops emitted violent white steam.

After entering the city, the beating of steel can be seen everywhere, among the flagstones on the street, many of them are black cinder and ore powder, and the air is also filled with a smell of soot.

Smelling the pungent smell, the girl couldn't help sneezing after getting out of the carriage.

"How about it, is it a bit uncomfortable? Haha, but people like me have long been used to it, and I can hardly smell it anymore."

The old man looked at the black-haired and black-eyed girl and smiled before continuing to ask.

"Okay, I'm at my destination. I guess the old man will have to get busy again. My name is Amber. If you want to build a sword and sword, you can come to me. Don't you know what your name is?"

"Thank you, Grandpa Amber, my name is Lorraine."

The girl waved goodbye to the old man, and then walked to the other side of the street. There was a clearing halfway up the mountain where a beautiful white airship stopped.
