She Is Not a Witch Chapter 238: Afterglow horizon

It was night, and there were about twenty tents standing quietly in the open field. During the period, a bonfire was lit, and some people sat around and had dinner.

The night breeze is blowing, very refreshing, and there is a faint fragrance of green grass in the air.

This is the oyster plain in the east, because it looks like a huge but gently rolling hill as a whole, shaped like an oyster shell, so it got its name.

There are not many trees on the plain, and most of them are green pastures. There will be local people grazing horses, cattle and sheep here. Scattered villages and small towns are scattered throughout the plain, and the residents of them have lived here for generations. Live the simple life.

"In another day, we will be able to leave this plain and reach the big city of Baimane City in the east. According to the description of the locals, it is a city built of white rocks, with three huge windmills in it, surrounding villages and small towns. The residents of the town will bring the harvested grain to grind there."

Sitting by the bonfire, the witch introduced Lily to the situation in the east, but she also learned most of it from others.

"The guardians of the Eastern Realm are the Landsworth family, that is, the Duke of Unicorns. They have the blood of elves, and they have intermarried with many nobles in the Eastern Territory. Their power is stable and they are the most powerful in the Eastern Territory. power."

"The only worry now is the attitude of the unicorn duke. If he imposes a strict blockade, it's hard to imagine any noble in the east would dare to let us go in private."

"So during this period, we try our best not to reveal our identities." Even so, this witch doesn't have much confidence. These people come from the northern border, and the characteristics that are different from the locals are very obvious. It is the voice, dress, clothes, etc., which are not easy to hide.

This is no longer the northern territory they are familiar with, and many things are strange to them.

"I can only pray like this." Lily looked at the bonfire and nodded, then closed her eyes and muttered.

Now, it is not far from arriving at Wanglong Port, I hope you can get through it safely.

The next day.

The team put away the iron-gray flag, and bought some carriages and specialties in the villages and towns along the way, preparing to turn it into a merchant convoy in order to pass the journey smoothly.

Unfortunately, things are not going our way.

Before entering Whitemane City, the patrol team stopped the convoy.

These horse-riding patrols wore silver light armor. They hung their helmets beside the saddles and collided with the metal buckles, making the crisp sound of metal collisions. Among them, there are about 8 formal cavalrymen, and the other 20 or so are attendants wearing leather armor.

"Stop and check, we are the patrolling cavalry of Whitemane City." The leading captain raised the cross spear in his hand, and there was a heraldic flag of white horse on a black background under the tip of the spear.

Whitemane City is the fiefdom of the Earl of Junfeng, and its family coat of arms is a white horse on a black background. They are also in-laws of the Landsworth family and have been friends for generations.

The number of this patrolling cavalry was less than one-fifth of Lily's group, but they were still fearless, and seemed to have a slight contempt for these people from the north.

"Where are you from, and what are you going to do?" Driving the horse, the captain walked slowly to the carriage and asked loudly.

"We are merchants from the north, and we are here to do some business in the east." A leader dressed as a knight had to explain this.

"Heh, business, what business are you doing?" The captain seemed very disdainful, he lifted the cover behind the carriage with one hand, and checked the contents.

"Recently, I've seen a lot of northerners like you. You say you're here to rob." Recently, the law and order is not good. There are many people from the north who fled from the famine in the territory. Some of them have become robbers and become hidden dangers in the surrounding towns.

"You!" Several upright northern knights clenched their fists, wanting to teach this guy a lesson, but considering the purpose of this trip, they had to endure it.

After checking and finding that they were all ordinary groceries, the captain shook his head, and then rode around the team, as if he was estimating the number and strength of the team.

"Come with us and live in the city for a few days first." The captain said.

"No, we still have important things to do, so we need to hurry up."

"Oh, this is strange, you go east, is there anything particularly urgent?"

"If it's transporting food to the northwest, I might let it go, after all, I know the situation there is not good."

"But you are like this, you are a merchant, and the documents are so simple, and you have such a strong strength, just to transport such ordinary groceries, no matter how you look at it, it is not right."

When he said this, the cavalrymen of the patrol team had already pressed their hands on the hilt of their sword faintly, ready to go.

The scene suddenly fell into a stalemate and embarrassment. After a while, the door of the carriage opened, and a witch walked down slowly. Only then did the captain of the cavalry look squarely at her. .

Looking at the approaching witch, he slowly raised his hand to let the people around him relax for the time being and not to attack.

"Miss Witch, such an existence as you can't be found in ordinary merchant teams." He sighed in a low voice, and then watched how the witch persuaded him.

"We do not have any malicious intentions, but we cannot fully tell you the reason. Maybe you will understand why after a while, and then you will also gain the friendship of the northern border." The witch came to the cavalry captain , bowed to salute, and then spoke sincerely.

"Friendship in the north, such a promise..." As he spoke, the expression of the cavalry captain seemed to change.

He looked at the pedestrians, then at the witch, paused in silence for a long time, and then slowly moved out of the way.

"I will let a few companions follow you and monitor, so as to make sure that you have not deceived the owner of this land."

These words made the witch embarrass again. If these people are allowed to go with them, it would be like exposing their position to the eyes of the nobles of the Eastern Realm. Now the attitude of the nobles of the Eastern Realm is not clear. If they have other thoughts, For His Majesty...

"Yes." In the carriage, Lily seemed to see the witch's hesitation, she replied softly, and the voice came out of the car screen window.

"I don't intend to offend you, and I believe you are trustworthy people." Lily's voice was correct and clear, with a tone unique to the court.

Hearing such an answer, many patrolling cavalry were at a loss, but the captain seemed to understand something. He bent down from his horse, bowed respectfully to the carriage, and then asked some of his men to follow the escort, while he took the People left the place quickly.

The convoy continued to drive, and the witch looked at the captain who left, feeling worried.

"If he reports the information to Earl Junfeng..."

"That must be fate." Lily comforted Hells who had fallen asleep, and slowly raised her head.

"Sooner or later, our group will be discovered by these nobles in the eastern region. It's better to semi-disclose our identities now, so that they can hesitate for a while, and dare not suddenly strike cruelly."

"Taking advantage of the present ~IndoMTL.com~ to speed up, it is best to arrive at Wanglong Port before the negotiation of these eastern nobles is over."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, this team changed from pretending to be a merchant, and galloped at full speed, trying to cross the plain as soon as possible, and the dozen or so patrolling cavalry behind them had to keep up with full speed, and sometimes they were thrown off. danger of falling.

In this way, this group of about a hundred northern knights drove their horses and escorted the only carriage to gallop under the blue sky until dusk approached. .

It's almost time to enter the hinterland of the Eastern Realm. At that time, the emperor's pursuers didn't dare to show off too much, the witch thought to herself, but when she looked at the end of the field, her expression changed suddenly.

A group of knights in rose cloaks are standing on the dim blue horizon, their faces and armor are shrouded by the gradually falling night, dark and full of murderous aura.

As the team escorting Lily approached, they jumped down the hillside and began to charge, like red shooting stars, piercing through the dark ground.
