She Is Not a Witch - Vol 3 Chapter 58

Hopelander, Calites Chamber of Commerce.

Under the purple eaves of varying heights, the white stone walls showed light white and light orange mottled squares in the sunlight. This is the headquarters of the Calites Chamber of Commerce and a new post-war reconstruction site. Compared to the past, it looks more spacious and clean, and the building is taller and more elegant.

Because of the building of warships and the manufacture of muskets during the war, the Chamber of Commerce has gained high profits over the years, and at the same time, it has also developed rapidly. The number of people is nearly five times as many as in the past. It is now one of the largest large-scale chambers of commerce in southern Croatia. Has a strong influence.

Standing in front of the gate of the Chamber of Commerce, Lorraine Hill couldn’t recognize the place where he stayed in the past, because the changes were so great.

The first is the gate. The walls and gates that used to be only seven or eight meters high are now built like fortresses. The white gateposts are extremely sturdy, standing on both sides, with two purple spires on the top of the watchtower, scattered among them. A tiny shooting hole. There is a heavy steel grid on the top of the main entrance that can be dropped, and the thick wooden door is rarely closed, but looking at the strength of the number of fingers, it is estimated that the small artillery cannot be fired.

In order to conceal the solemn atmosphere of the gate, the door and the walls on both sides were covered with light purple vines, and some of them were blooming with unknown flowers, white and purple, dotted on the walls and gateposts.

“Hello, does this lady have anything to ask our Chamber of Commerce?”

Seeing Lorrainhill standing still at the gate, a guard came and asked. He was wearing steel armor, holding a halberd in one hand, and wearing a small lacquer night flower badge on his chest.

“I want to find Ms. Chelsea.” Lorrain Hill recalled the acquaintances of the Chamber of Commerce in the past, and it was naturally the maid Chelsea that had the deepest reflection.

“Master Chelsea is currently in a semi-retired state and usually does not see foreign visitors. Do you have an appointment?” the guard asked patiently.

“This, um….. Just give this to her.” The girl thought for a while, then took out a piece of paper and wrote her own handwriting.

Looking at the ordinary note in his hand, the young guard hesitated, but finally nodded.

“Please wait a moment.” After speaking, he walked to the porter behind the gate.

Squeaky

Pushing open the closed wooden door, a faint snoring sound came, and there was a guard who was taking a nap on the table in the concierge. He looked about forty years old with a lot of beard on his face.

“Wake up, Boss Rupert.” The young guard entering the door shook the sleeping boss.

“Uh, what’s wrong. It’s not time to change shifts yet.” He rubbed his eyes and looked at the colleague in front of him.

“There was a girl outside who wanted to see Lord Chelsea, but she didn’t have an appointment and said that she would just give the other party this note.”

“That’s it, maybe it’s a salesman or someone else. Hey, I see too much of this kind of routine, ha~.” He yawned, still looking a little sleepy.

“But that girl, how do you say it, it’s very unusual, I don’t feel like a liar.” The guard recalled the girl in the light white dress just now, with a faint affection and admiration.

“Ha, are you kidnapped by others?” He Lie opened his mouth and laughed.

“Okay, let me see what she wrote. Hey, I told you that the more beautiful women are, the more careful, just like back then…” He suddenly got stuck. .

“This…” Looking at the familiar and delicate handwriting on the note, he suddenly remembered something. He stood up suddenly, startled his companions around him, and then put on his helmet quickly, no matter what. Scalping away the companions around him, walked out quickly.

“Is that girl still there?” he said as he walked, his tone a little excited.

“It should be there, what’s the matter.” Seeing Rupert, the old man in the Chamber of Commerce, was so excited, the guard became a little nervous.

“Nothing, is that one?” After the two walked out the door, Rupert pointed to the girl who was waiting quietly outside the door.

“Yes, it’s her.”

“Okay, very good, young man, you did a very good job today. It can even be said to be the best thing you have done in the years of working in the Chamber of Commerce.” He looked at the girl who was standing quietly and patted her companion. On his shoulders, the words became more and more excited and excited.

“This…” Rupert strode outside before the guard could react. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but speed up his pace.

“Master Lacey, you are finally back!” Rupert walked closer, but he couldn’t recognize it. This was the former head of the Chamber of Commerce, Miss Lacey.

Seeing a familiar face in front of her, Lorrain Hill didn’t react for a while, and only a few seconds later remembered from her memory that this seemed to be a guard who had been there when she was in the Chamber of Commerce.

But at that time he was still young and he didn’t have so many beards on his face, and because of this, the girl didn’t react at first.

“It turned out to be Rupert, long time no see.”

In the afternoon sun, the girl in the blonde and white skirt answered quietly, her voice still as quiet as before, which made people feel at ease.

When Rupert’s claim came out, it attracted a lot of guards by the gate. Soon, everyone gradually reacted. To the surprised colleague, the news of Miss Lacey’s return was like wings. Spread within the chamber of commerce. There are running sounds everywhere, and there are sudden cheers everywhere.

“Really? Did the eldest lady really come back?” An old man with gray hair stood up from the table piled with books and drawings, with surprise on his face.

“Really, it spreads everywhere, everyone knows it.” An employee in a white shirt with a book replied excitedly.

“Quickly, take me to see Miss Lacey. It’s been more than ten years, and I don’t know what the young lady looks like now, whether she is married, if she has children, and she is probably a mature lady now, right? “The old man sighed as he walked.

“I think back then, we fought with the other three Tisiphone families, and the whole Hoplander was almost flattened by us that night.”

“Don’t you know how beautiful Miss Lacey is, how intelligent, at the beginning, in the Chamber of Commerce, I don’t know how many guys secretly admired and liked it.”

“But the eldest lady is not an ordinary person like us. She won’t stay in the small place of Calites for a long time. After going to a distant place, there will only be letters coming back several times, so we can rest assured.”

Several people walked through the corridor in the mansion and walked quickly to the outside. Looking out the window beside the corridor, there were figures surging everywhere in the courtyard of the Chamber of Commerce.

Amidst the noise, a large number of people inside the Chamber of Commerce crowded towards the gate.

Seeing more and more people in front of him, Lorrain Hill was a little flustered, but it was not easy to stop and separate these excited people.

Just as she was feeling a little at a loss, a clear voice rang behind her.

“You all take a few steps back, don’t let the lady worry about being afraid.” The maid in black and white uniform walked slowly and stood beside the girl. She pushed the glasses in front of her nose and glanced over the crowd with warning. Everyone calmed down slowly.

In the Calites Chamber of Commerce, there is no longer an older and more prestigious employee than the maid’s seniority. She strengthened Angus when she was young, and later joined the Chamber of Commerce, which can be said to be a testament to this Chamber of Commerce. To all the processes there.

Seeing that the scene became quieter, the maid bends to salute on Lorrainhill’s side.

“Welcome back, Missy.”

“Well, I’m back again, Chelsea.” The girl looked at the still healthy maid in front of her, with a little joy and nostalgia in her heart.

At that time, she had just walked out of the Tizilan Mountains and didn’t know much about the current situation. It was the maid who accompanied her to answer questions and teach some details about the management of the Chamber of Commerce.

After the two recounted a few words, under the protection of a group of guards, Lorrain Hill once again entered the long-lost Chamber of Commerce.

It was night, the Calites Chamber of Commerce was brightly lit, and there were lights and colorful scenes everywhere. There was even an open-air stage and dining table in the central courtyard.

In the magnificent hall, the lacquer night flower chandeliers hanging from the top are extremely bright, and golden candlelights are lit in every corner of the hall. There were long tables on the empty stone slabs of the old days, and a purple throne was placed on the main seat at the end of the center.

The main body of the throne is made of dark sandalwood with a soft color. The back of the chair is dark purple like a lacquer night flower, and the center is inlaid with black flower-like wooden nails, which embellish the deep purple back like a star.

Nowadays, the long table is full of various kinds of delicacies. On both sides are neatly arranged square wooden chairs. On both sides of the hall, nearly a hundred maids in black and white uniforms stand on both sides. They lightly bowed their heads and bowed to salute. The people who were seated arrived.

Seeing this scene before her eyes, the girl who walked into the hall couldn’t help but think of the scene when she first arrived in Hopland that day, and that night, she determined the identity of Angus’ successor in the Chamber of Commerce and began to take charge of the Chamber of Commerce.

“Welcome Lacey-sir~” The maids all spoke together, and then showed a sincere smile. Compared with other places, the Calites Chamber of Commerce has indeed provided employees with more stable protection, and this is also true. Thank you all sincerely. Miss Lacey.

Wearing a dark and purple long night dress, with golden hair falling on his shoulders, Lorrain Hill walked slowly to the throne of the past. Gently stroking the object left by Angus, the girl felt like a dream for a while.

I don’t want an accidental encounter that year, and then it will have such a profound impact.

Angus, Elaine, Ceres, Chelsea, Jellink, Rickel, etc., the faces in the memories gradually blurred over the years, and nearly ten years have passed without knowing it.

What will happen in the next ten years? Maybe until then, some faces will slowly disappear, and they will never be seen again.

Life is like a journey, always moving forward, always separating.

Sitting calmly on this familiar seat, Lorrain Hill once again looked at the figures at the table, some of which were familiar and some were unfamiliar, which made people sigh with the change of time.

“Let’s start the banquet, I hope everyone will spend a good night together.” Lorrain Hill’s rare drinking, she raised the glass of lavender liquid to congratulate everyone.

“Yes, our forever Miss Lacey.”

Everyone seemed to have agreed, and answered like this, the figures sitting upright are so proud and proud.

They are a member of Calites. They love it here. This Chamber of Commerce not only allows them to feed their families and have perfect protection, but also allows them to find their own value as a brand new warship. In the water, when pieces of beautiful and durable goods are released, there is always a sense of peace and pride flowing in the chest.

Perhaps this eldest lady shouldn’t be praised too much, but it is undeniable that if she hadn’t appeared, this chamber of commerce would have disappeared ten years ago, and they still don’t know where they will live.

“Then, let me raise a toast to Lacie-sama again!”

“drink!”

In the hall and courtyard, laughter and cries never stopped. Today after the war, everything is finally settled down. They are no longer the same as they used to, moving around, avoiding the war, and now it’s finally time to celebrate.

It was night, and the banquet lasted until very late, and Lorrainhill’s white cheeks were slightly red from drinking. She constantly listened to everyone’s experiences over the years, the resistance in the war, the sad relocation of the past, those fighting and rebuilding on the island, the ecstatic scenes of watching the battleship launch, and finally returning to Hopeland. Your peace and joy.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Holding an empty wine glass at his waist, Lorrainhill leaned against the back of the seat slightly, looking dimly at the people sitting in front of him. In the narration, some people slowly shed tears, immersed in the emotion of remembrance and nostalgia.

In the end, the banquet was completely over when a little white appeared in the sky.

After that, Lorrain Hill stayed in the Chamber of Commerce for a period of time. During this period, the branch staff heard the news of her return, and many people came back overnight. So the banquet within the Chamber of Commerce was held for nearly a week before it slowly stopped.

It was another morning, in a quiet bedroom.

The girl’s silver hair was scattered among the pillows, her round shoulders protruded from her nightdress, her body was still slightly undulating in the quilt, after a while, she opened her face when the pale sunlight shone on her face. Vibrating eyelashes.

Is it morning? Lorrainhill rubbed his eyes slightly and sat up from the bed.

Since taking care of Chelsea, she seems to have become lazy lately, and she doesn’t wake up as early as she used to be.

Because the bed is so comfortable, maybe this is the magic of the quilt, it can seal people in it.

The girl thought to herself, then got out of bed and began to change clothes.

After a while, Lorrain Hill nodded slightly, looking at himself in the mirror after putting on it, that was it.

I have also stayed in the Calites Chamber of Commerce for nearly half a month, and finally sorted out and dealt with the various affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and can be free for a period of time.

Today she is going to visit Mrs. Filia, the former music teacher, and bring back the playful Eidolon and two birds.

After reuniting with Lan Lier, Feng Nao and others that night, considering that she was going to the Chamber of Commerce later, it was not convenient to bring Ye Ling, so Ye Ling stayed at Feng Nai’s house temporarily. At present, Lan Lier and Lingxin also live there, because Fengno’s house was specially used by Mei Lu to stay in the past. It is very spacious, with a large courtyard and garden, so it is very comfortable.

It is estimated that Eidolon is playing crazy these days.

The girl looked at herself in the mirror, her silver hair slowly turned golden, and then she rolled up ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and tied a light red ribbon. When she was ready, Lorrain Hill walked out of the room and ran out of coconut bread For breakfast with raspberry juice, get on the carriage and head to the former resident of the Anemi Chamber of Commerce.

Before going to Teacher Felia, you have to meet Feng Nao’s house, Lan Lier and others.

When she got out of the car, she looked up again, and a woman who was also going to visit was caught in her eyes. This woman is holding an umbrella, wearing a dark green and pure white lace dress, and she is holding a six-year-old child by her side.

Looking at the mature and feminine figure, Lorrain Hill shouted in surprise.

“Meiro?”

Looking back, the woman looked at Lorrain Hill, and soon showed a knowing smile.

“Yes, it’s me, it’s been a long time, Lacey.”

“Come on, call Sister Lacey.” She reminded the child beside her softly.

The chestnut blond little girl hid behind her mother, looked at Lorrain Hill a little tentatively and nervously, and walked out slowly for a while.

“Sister Lacey is good.”
