In an inconspicuous villa located in a residential area on the outskirts of Haidu, Ling met the person Vita specially asked her to take care of.
It's not that it's poverty. A single-family villa in a deep compound is much better than a group apartment. It's just that this low-key accommodation environment is not worthy of the status of the people who live here.
Entering Earl Iggery's Mansion, this is the residence of Count Theodore Iggrey, who has retired to the sidelines and has lived a secluded life. He was once the chief advisor to the former Duke of Cain, Alfred de Cain, and at the same time
He also has another identity, that is, he is the father-in-law of Alfred, the former Duke of Kane. And Ling who is here to visit is his granddaughter.
Mitina Euclides de Cain, who lives here, is a cute girl with light green hair, half a head shorter than Ling.
Not only her height, but her face shape also looks much more childish, although judging from her age at birth, Ming Ling is the smaller one.
However, because Ling's attainments in martial arts have reached the master level four months ago, the essence escaping from the inside out is making her body become more mature. Compared to the one when she first entered school,
Although Mu La mistakenly thought she was nine years old, Ling now looks like an average girl who is about eleven or twelve years old. As for the rumor that premature body development will make her short? She does not agree with this.
She didn't even care. What's more, she didn't want to grow up at all.
"Sister Ling, are you the executor that Teacher Vita mentioned? You are so handsome." Mitina approached Ling and called each sister one after another.
But that was probably just what the child said out of politeness. As for Ling's green school uniform from Thors, she didn't think it looked good at all, but instead looked extremely rustic. It was basically the same as the military green uniform of the Kingdom of Liberel Army.
Similar feeling?
"It's the first time we meet, Mitina-chan. It doesn't matter if I call you by your first name, right? And don't call me sister. It always feels weird." Being called that by someone older than herself made Ling feel a little bit weird.
a feeling of.
"Hehe, of course it doesn't matter. Can Mitina also call you Ling-chan?"
"Oh, that's it. So do you usually live in a place like this?"
"Yes, that's right. Mitina usually lives with her grandparents. But starting from next spring, I will go to the elementary school in St. Astraea. I heard that after I go to school in the imperial capital, I can only go back to the capital once a year.
.It’s great to be able to get to know Rei-chan before that.”
St. Astralia Women's College is a famous aristocratic school in the imperial capital. It has consistent educational resources of elementary, secondary and advanced departments. The division of the three departments is probably similar to the elementary school, middle school and university in Ling's previous life. By the way
By the way, the Sunday school opened by the church includes most of the courses in the elementary and secondary departments, and the Torz Military Academy in Tolista is actually a "university" according to its usual teaching content. Just because
It is an old military school with a long history that retains the ancient school name, so it does not directly indicate that it is a university like Luray University of Technology, which was newly established in recent decades.
"In fact, compared to the city center, the suburbs also have advantages. The wind blowing from the sea here is quite comfortable, making it a very suitable place to live. The scenery of the blue sea city can only be experienced on this side close to the sea.
.”
Mitina did not hesitate to praise her hometown. He Ling introduced the situation here. The permanent population of "Azure Sea City Ordis" is 460,000, which is the second largest among the cities in the empire.
"Heimdall, the capital of the Scarlet Empire" with a population of 880,000, has a population greater than that of the "Flower King's Capital Grancel", the capital of the Liberian Kingdom south of the Erebonia Empire's border. It is almost the same in the north
It is three times as large as the "Port City Julet District" or the "Old White City of Saint-Jacques" in the south. In terms of population alone, Ordis is the fourth largest city in the West Semilia continent.
As for the other two cities in front of it, they are the capital of the Republic with a population of nearly 800,000 and the trading capital of Crossbell with a population of more than 500,000.
"Lamar State has more places to visit than just the sea. The flowers grown near Ordis are also famous. There are many beaches on the coastal map, and the specialty cuisine with fresh seafood is also very attractive. The entire sea surface
They are all super shiny, why not let Mitina take Ling-chan to visit them together."
"It shouldn't be possible today. I will go back to school later in the day. The Thors Military Academy does not have a long vacation like the St. Astraea Women's Academy you are going to attend soon."
"It's such a pity that it's like this. Going to school seems really hard, and Mitina doesn't want to go."
It’s not surprising that a child doesn’t want to go to school, but it’s not something she can decide on her own. Instead of letting her go to the women’s college in Haidu, she was specially sent to the distant imperial capital. This is where Mitina’s uncle is now
Duke Kane's arrangement of Corovard Kane. Isolating his niece, who also has the right to inherit, from the Kane family's fiefdom of Lamar State can ensure the stability of his rule. Mitina actually knows this very well.
.
But maybe there is a plan to not put all the eggs in one basket? If something unexpected happens, it can also leave a way out for the family. The style of the aristocrats always likes to bet on both sides.
Ling and Mitina talked about other things. As the witch is an enduring topic in the empire's incredible legends, Mitina was very happy to be accepted as her number one disciple.
It’s just that although she has the qualifications, she has not yet refined her magic power. Before she had her own magic power, Vita had not officially started teaching her spells, so now Mitina can’t even perform the simplest tricks. She is far from Mitina.
Na's imagination of becoming a magical girl and a handsome "biubiubiu" is still a million Sel moments away.
As a souvenir, Ling gave Mitina a 13-mile-long carved doll. The shape of the doll was the legendary Spear Maiden Lianna who appeared in the Battle of the Lions 250 years ago.
The figure made by Ling, who has seen the heroic figure of the Seventh Sister with her own eyes, is quite lifelike. This style is also the best-selling product in Ling's doll shop so far. It is said that it has been sold for ten dollars at the auction in the imperial capital.
The price of 10,000 mira is too high.
"It's so beautiful. It's like a piece of art from Strauss' workshop."
"what is that?"
"Well, it is the most famous glass workshop in our Haidu. Mr. Strauss is a top craftsman who has received the "Yellow Ribbon Medal" awarded by His Majesty the Emperor in the past. No one in the entire empire can excel in glass craftsmanship.
On the other hand, whenever a new work comes out, it will become the target of nobles vying for it."
So, is he his competitor in the luxury goods industry...
No, that's not right. Ling shook her head. She was a puppet maker, so she had no intention of competing with a glass craftsman. But if she had the chance to come to Haidu next time, she might be able to visit his shop.
After being entertained for dinner at the Earl's Mansion, Countess Susanna cooked the food herself, allowing Ling to taste the characteristics of western coastal cuisine that were different from those in the central region.
Originally, Vita said that she wanted to arrange for her to show up in front of the current Duke of Kane, Corovard Kane, and become familiar with her, but after staying with Mitina for a long time, she did not receive any communication from Vita.
When she showed up, she found out that Duke Kane was not in Haidu now, but had gone to the Julet District further north.
Seeing Vita using teleportation to appear in the Earl's Mansion, Mitina immediately ran over to her. Vita also reached out and rubbed her little head.
Due to Vita's spell, no one except Ling and Mitina noticed her appearance, but treated her as if she didn't exist.
"Although the Duke is not here, it does not affect our plan. Brother Crow is the protagonist. Xiaoling, when you are ready, come with me to meet him? By the way, you can also meet the Cangzhiqing Shen. That one seems to be
I’m also very curious about the new starter of the Purple Riding God.”
The Blue Riding God Ordyne is different from the Gray Riding God Valima who was sealed underground in Tolista, but is similar to the Purple Riding God Sektor. Even if the Riding God has not passed the trial and has independent consciousness,
You can carry out activities. Ling also easily accepted the fact that the Blue Knight God can talk like a human being. Should it be said that only Valima is the most special one?
After bidding farewell to Mitina, Ling followed Vita and disappeared into the Earl's Mansion in the light of teleportation.
