She Is Not a Witch

In the early morning, points of light appeared in the forest, then these particles of light flew over and surrounded Loranhil, slowly merging into her body.

In Loranhil’s misty sea of consciousness, a vibrant green core full of vitality began to form. Like a transparent jade jewel with rounded edges, intricate patterns were continuously inscribed within it.

These patterns constructed the most basic functions of the supernatural core, such as absorption and conversion, transforming Mana into Nature magic. Then, on the outer edges, the supernatural abilities of the Verdant Gardener were built.

The patterns of two abilities were like two leaves wrapping around the core jewel, with faint golden patterns extending like veins on the leaf surface.

Finally, the remaining light particles all gathered at the girl’s forehead. A perfect jade jewel was born in her sea of consciousness. The girl opened her eyes, her blue irises calm as a lake emitting a faint glow. She blinked, and the light dispersed.

Since obtaining Trina’s Legacy Jewel, Loranhil had been learning every day. After two days of preparation, she finally succeeded in constructing her supernatural core. She hadn’t chosen the Necromancy Sequence or Mage Sequence because food production was currently the most important. As for combat power, that could be considered later.

Before reaching Sequence 3, one could dissolve their core and reconstruct it at any time without much impact. However, after Sequence 3, it would gradually merge with one’s consciousness. After Sequence 5, the soul consciousness and supernatural core would become one, greatly increasing the protection of the soul and consciousness, making magic use more flexible and delicate, and causing abilities in all aspects to undergo a qualitative leap.

Between Sequences 1-4, there might occasionally be cases of defeating higher levels, but lower levels almost never defeated Sequence 5. This gap was something even geniuses couldn’t bridge.

At this moment, Loranhil closed her eyes, trying to use her [Listen to Nature] ability.

The endless forest, black thorns, bright red berries, unknown white flowers, urgent cicada songs, rough tree trunks, birds occasionally flying across the sky, fleeting squirrels in the woods, water pooled on stones—everything vividly appeared in Loranhil’s mind.

A few days later.

A young man was trudging through the forest with difficulty. He wore rough, tattered clothes stained with blood and dirt, sweat from his forehead and back soaking through the fabric.

He carefully turned over fallen leaves near tree roots, searching for edible mushrooms, but often in vain. After searching for a long time, he barely found a small bunch to put in his pocket.

Seeing that night was falling, he licked his parched lips and returned to a small stream he had passed earlier. He plunged his head into the water, taking a big gulp before lifting his head, revealing a slightly childish face of about 17 years old.

He took out a flint from his pocket, lit a fire by the stream, and placed a few mushrooms on a stone slab to roast. Clearly, this was to be his dinner.

After eating a few mushrooms, the young man prepared to rest, but soon he was rolling on the ground clutching his stomach. His body curled up, large beads of sweat forming on his forehead, his expression filled with pain.

In the distance, Loranhil stood on a tree branch, silently watching this food-poisoned youth. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to go over and check on him.

By the orange-red fire, the young man was breathing heavily, clutching his stomach. His face had turned purple, and he was emitting low groans.

Light-colored shoes stepped on fallen leaves as Loranhil approached the young man.

“Are you alright? Can you hold on?”

A soft female voice came through. The young man struggled to open his eyes, wet with sweat, and looked up. A pair of clear, transparent blue eyes appeared in his vision.

How beautiful…

Is this a hallucination before death? I once heard Uncle Muk say that mushrooms in the forest shouldn’t be eaten carelessly, or you might get poisoned. Some even cause hallucinations. I didn’t believe it before, but it turns out to be true.

Thank you, divine spirits, for letting me see such beautiful eyes before I die, he thought as his consciousness gradually blurred. The pair of eyes in the firelight also began to waver and blur.

Splash——

A cool stream of water poured from above, awakening the young man’s consciousness.

“Open your mouth.”

The young man instinctively opened his lips, and a few pieces of fresh fruit flesh fell into his mouth. After chewing hungrily, a sweet juice spread through his mouth. Soon after swallowing, the pain in his stomach greatly eased.

It was then that the young man slowly sat up and examined his savior closely.

She had long silver hair like a waterfall, two locks draped over her chest, the rest falling behind her shoulders down to her waist.

She wore a pure white fitted dress. Though not overly luxurious, white needlework on the dress outlined delicate patterns, giving it an elegant beauty. The long dress covered her knees, revealing only light-colored shoes and white silk stockings.

Her beautiful face was like a dream, with an extremely unreal feeling. If the goddess in the church had this appearance, the faithful would probably flock to it, the young man suddenly thought.

Then he quickly lowered his head, because staring at a woman like this was very impolite. He had heard that if commoners in big cities dared to look at noble ladies this way, they would be beaten.

“What’s your name? Where are you from, and where are you going?”

As soon as the girl spoke, she asked the three most important questions about life.
