Chapter 16 Square Market
In the early morning, amid the sparse sound of walking outside the tent, the girl gradually woke up from her dream.
She rubbed her eyes, stood up slowly with her hands on the blanket, and the thin quilt covering her body also slipped off.
With the long hair by his ear hanging down his neck, Roland Hill shook his head slightly to wake himself up a little, and at the same time slowly sort out the memory of last night's dream. After a long time, he slowly remembered where he was.
Looking at the fading and fading pattern of foliage and fruit on the back of her hand, she finally believed that what she saw that morning was not an illusion.
Strange, why do I see those past memories, obviously people and things that have passed away for a long, long time. She thought so in her heart.
Looking back on the life of the figure I saw in my dream, from childhood to adulthood, from an ordinary girl to a mature witch in charge of the empire, in her long experience, there are ups and downs, and there are joys, witnessing hundreds of years and thousands of years. The course of history until the end of the last dream.
Artatis, the Witch of Fruitful Fruit.
Its representative pattern is composed of green foliage and bright red berries, which is graceful and prosperous.
After Julis passed away, she took over the authority of the empire, leading and supporting the human kingdom behind the scenes. And under her care and protection, the new generation of witches in the empire gradually grew up, became the solid backbone of the True Red Empire, and allowed it to grow stronger.
If Julis planted the first seed, Artatis took good care of it and gradually cultivated this seed into a big tree.
[The sweat of farming will bear fruit]
[The bunches of wheat ears in his hand are the proof of the friendship between man and the earth]
[Even if no one agrees...but I still see it]
[For me, everyone will blossom and bear fruit]
[Precious children, there is not much I can do]
[But I will stay with you. Because, I want to commend your efforts]
To all the witches, Artatis is a loving elder, but also a reassuring and comfortable companion. It was also under her improvement that the True Red Empire gradually filtered out the ruthless atmosphere when it was founded, and became a little softer, allowing the number of human beings to expand dozens or even hundreds of times in hundreds of years.
And such a huge number, even after the empire was destroyed, left fire and blood for the subsequent rise again.

Stepping out of the tent, I simply washed my face with a damp handkerchief, and the dew remaining on my skin became slightly refreshed in the breeze. At this time, Roland Hill gradually sorted out the memories of that distant time in his mind.
The seniors are very powerful, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to catch up with such great achievements. The girl thought so.
Wringing out the handkerchief and putting it away, she turned around, went back to the tent, carefully removed it, and tucked it away.
When squatting on the ground and rolling up the carpet, the gray-black soil and ground below also emerged, and one of the small white flowers that was bent caught the girl's attention.
Looking at the unknown little flower with its curved stem, she placed her hand on it on a whim, imitating the scene she saw in her dream. An extremely subtle streamer appeared on the flower stem, which gradually returned to its original state, and several fresh buds emerged from below, and the light green leaves were delicate and tender.
Putting her hands away, the girl looked around and found that no one paid attention to this small gesture she accidentally made, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought it was just a dream, but I didn't expect that the things in the dream seemed to become reality. She also has the power of the great witch in her dream.
Power is different from general skills or talents, its existence can transcend some common sense, and even break some natural laws.
Just like the simple process of repairing plants and catalyzing growth. If other supernatural beings want to do it, they have to use the power associated with it and do it according to certain skills.
Such skills are also limited by the user's own abilities and the strength of the target. If it is an ordinary plant, it will be easy, if it is a plant with some extraordinary properties, it will be very difficult.
But for the fertility witch in her memory, none of these problems exist, she just needs to think about it. Just like a concept, let things develop in this direction, easily and naturally.

Half an hour later, the business team resumed their journey, and the girl continued to sit on the back of a carriage, looking up at the slightly gray sky.
The long hair at the back of his head drooped and swayed slightly behind him. Roland Hill closed his eyes, feeling the comfort brought by the breeze, and then continued to recall the distant country in his dream.
I always feel that the Demon Sequence is very similar to the Demon Xinyi, but unfortunately she doesn't know much about the Demon Xinyi, and she can't be completely sure now. I don't know if the country I saw in the dream and the area where she is now are the same world. If so, then this world is really vast and wonderful.
There were all kinds of thoughts and conjectures in her mind. After a long time, she felt a little sleepy, and then she lay on the fence and slowly took a nap.
Yu Baiqiu, who was riding a horse in the back, looked at the girl in the gray dress in front of her. At this moment, her body was slowly rising and falling against the rail, as if she was asleep.
"This child... also has a big heart, so he can sleep peacefully."
But so free and easy, presumably will be very happy in the future. Thinking about it, a smile appeared on the corner of the uncle's mouth unconsciously. Although I am older than this girl, I don't want to be obsessed with each other sometimes, hahaha.

After walking through Min Zenei for nearly four days, the merchant team finally set foot on solid yellow soil and walked towards a city.
Qingwei City, at the city gate.
At this moment, Roland Hill is following the businessman, stepping into this relatively prosperous city.
On both sides of the bluestone-paved streets, you can see many small merchants and hawkers selling goods on the side of the road, including wild vegetables in the mountains, mallards tied to their feet, flower snakes covered in fine nets, green beans and other mountain products. There are also white tofu, lotus seed paste cakes, big oven pancakes and so on.
As the distance from the city gate is getting farther and farther, the bustling area in the city is getting closer and closer, and the number of small merchants and hawkers is gradually decreasing, replaced by shops with high plaques.
Although the names are different, from the girl's line of sight, you can roughly guess what this store is selling. Some of them sell paper, pen, ink, and ink, some simple porcelain pots, some condiments and spices, and some buy clothes and jewelry.
"Moo—" With the long cry of the prisoner cow, the team slowly stopped.
"Then this is it. The open space in this inn is relatively large, and it can hold a lot of goods, so it is considered safe." The head of the merchant said so, and then turned his head.
"Where are the two going after that? If we don't get along, I'm afraid we will part here."
"We will repair for two days, and we will go to the state city of Minzhou. I am afraid that we will not be able to make the way." Yu Baiqiu folded his fists in his chest and saluted.
"Thank you for taking care of you along the way, and we'll go the rest of the way by ourselves." While speaking, the girl on the side also bowed her head.
"Then I wish you a smooth journey." The business leader nodded, and after a simple return of the salute, he also walked into the station with everyone.
Seeing this group of traders gradually entering the yard, Yu Baiqiu and Loren Hill continued to walk forward. They also had to find a place to rest and inquire about the news.
Two hours later, the two also settled down and ate the freshly made dragon beard noodle soup.
"Will you go to Neifang to see it later?"
After eating, Yu Baiqiu asked the girl, and seeing that she didn't seem to understand, he explained it.
"It's also a place that sells cultivator-related items, but this city is not big, and things may not be as complete as those in Shangzhou City."
"Go." The girl nodded with interest.
"Then let's go."
Afterwards, Yu Baiqiu took the girl to the street, and he asked the passers-by a little on the way, and then walked in one direction. When they came to a high red archway, the two handed in two silver rings and entered it.
Compared with the places where ordinary people go shopping outside, the decoration of the shops here is much more luxurious, and some of the storefronts also heard the sound of gold and jade, which is very pleasant to the ear.
"The Legend of Ancient Qingyu Zhai", "Tianyi Baixiang Pavilion", "Five Colors Wrapped Silk Building", and "Bamboo Sound Witness Square" are meticulously carved everywhere, and the prosperous and bright buildings appear in the eyes of young girls. At the same time, large and small Yuan force ripples appeared on both sides of the street.
Pedestrians walking in the streets are also different from the outside world, they wear all kinds of fancy clothes. Some have dark bodies, cloaks like black wings, with layers of feathers on top, some wear jade crowns, swaying beads, and walk like the wind, and some wear red sleeves, whose silk threads are like fire, bright and dazzling.
"The clothes should be woven from the fire rat fur from Shannanzhou, which is self-purifying without burning, which is very popular with some people. If you are a practitioner who is good at fire, wearing that clothes is also very beneficial to practice. "
[Crimson Long Fur] (Gold Level, Excellent): It is woven from the hair of the Huoguang beast (also known as the fire rat), which does not burn in the bathing fire, adding its flame. Its tough and fire-resistant material can withstand most low-level attacks, while being lightweight and comfortable, it can withstand heat and cold, and is loved by people.
[Wat fat white jade tin] (bronze level, excellent): It is made of seed jade from the West Kunlun Jade River, carved and refined according to its texture, and has a good effect of resting and concentrating.
Roland Hill blinked, looking at the data that appeared on the virtual screen, and had a general evaluation in his heart.
It looked very good. She didn't know when she would be able to get such a suit. Before she knew it, she thought of the scene in the game in the previous life. It would be better if she could make it herself.
"Don't be in a hurry to buy it, let's take a look first. It is estimated that you will have to go through a lot along the way. If you are young, you should buy a simple exercise to practice and see. As long as it does not exceed the third level, you can disperse at any time and practice again. The true legacy of the faction."
"Is there anyone selling the method of practice?" The girl blinked.
"Haha, well, those who can cultivate to the high-level are definitely precious, but the low-level ones are not very rare. It's just that the methods that are spread outside are generally not very complete, and the effect is not as good as the complete set of inheritance in the sect. "
"After all, the major sects have been continuously tried and improved from generation to generation, so there are few shortcomings in all aspects, and the categories are complete. Which part you want to learn can be filled at any time, and there is no conflict with the current practice. And the methods scattered outside won't work, and it's hard for you to find people who practice the same method as you."
"Besides, sometimes, when some methods are practiced to the depths, there will be hidden pits that are difficult to detect."
"Will the major factions communicate with each other, and will they lag behind behind closed doors for a long time?" the girl asked curiously.
"Of course there will be exchanges. There are three most famous events, namely 'Youcheng Chilou Doufa Jian', 'Under the Purple Banyan Tree', 'Wanli Bamboo Mountains and Sea Songs'. But these events, I can only do it when I go to them. It's just the audience, those who appear on the stage are all the unicorns and geniuses in the world."
"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's go and have a look." After speaking, Yu Baiqiu strode forward, as if he was afraid that the girl would continue to ask questions, and the rare ink and knowledge in his stomach would be poured out. Done.
Lorraine
Hill wasn't angry, but he picked up his speed and followed.
"Burning Zhi Yun Huo Dan, eating it can help you to advance, limited to three pieces, come quickly if you need it." . Everyone looked at the man in green standing on the wooden platform shouting in the middle, and whispered below.
"Is this medicinal pill really effective?" a practitioner asked curiously.
"I heard from my fellow brothers and sisters that it's still useful. One of their teachers took this to enter the fourth rank." Someone next to him replied.
"It is said that after eating it, the will is like fire, burning and awake, it can resist the illusion of external evil, and reduce the difficulty when advancing."
"I don't think so," retorted another in the crowd.
"Although this method can improve the resistance to illusions for a while, it is ultimately harmful to the soul and damages the fundamentals. Even if you are fortunate enough to advance, you need a lot of time to nurture it before you can turn around."
"Besides, if you don't grasp the quantity, it is estimated that you will be burned into a fool." He pouted again.
"Isn't it true, this person is still selling so expensively, and he actually asks for 6 gold dishes. I heard that there were 4 gold dishes last month."
"There's no way, once the fame comes out, the price will naturally go up."
"Anyway, some people are not afraid of this side effect, and they want to advance with all their lives."
"Hey, there's no way. Now is a world of great competition. There are many heroes, and everyone wants to show their talents. Maybe because of their talent, they are valued by some people, and then they will be included in them and cultivated vigorously."
"I think you should dispel this delusion. It's okay to ignore the periphery of the thirty-six visits. Among them, the true disciples are chosen by millions of people. It is extremely rare. Scum."
"Hahaha, yes, yes, I thought too much."
"However, this person is also very powerful. It is said that he came from Qingluyuan before, and he was a 6th-order alchemist before. It was just like today that he had to rebuild the ladder, and he fell into the current situation."
"And his practice method is said to consume a lot of heaven and earth treasures, so he is especially short of money, so he came up with this method."
