Chapter 273 Golden Wind Blue Chrysanthemum Umbrella
After staying in Golden Leaf Corolla for a few more days, Vestena began to take Lorraine Hill to various major corollas to socialize and visit acquaintances. With her introduction, many senior forest elves gradually became aware of this young girl.
identity and origin.
Some of them were welcoming to Lorraine Hill, and some were relatively indifferent, but most of them still expressed their due kindness and were willing to talk to the girl. The reason was not complicated. These people were all Weiss.
Thena selected in advance those who are easy to get along with and who are relatively open-minded to outside opinions.
The real die-hard elements, or elves who are difficult to get along with, have not been introduced to Loland Hill. If those people really want to be persuaded, the process will never be so peaceful, and it may lead to arguments or even struggles.
During this period of getting along and traveling, Lorraine Hill also gradually gained a deep understanding of the lives and personalities of the elves.
It has to be said that most of the forest elves are relatively simple and do not have too complicated thoughts. If they are annoying, they are not very good at pretending, but show it directly, which is very easy to understand.
In this way, time slowly came to June, and the triennial "Wind Cleansing Festival" began to be held in the "Orchid Corolla", and Lorraine Hill, who had received an invitation from Marantha, also came to the Corolla.
Gathering place.
This is a city located in a light green field. Most of its buildings are shaped like orchids with streamlined and relaxed lines. The outer layer is painted with soft light blue paint, which feels delicate and soft to the touch, making people very comfortable.
‘Orchid Corolla’ is a gathering place with a long history in the Emerald Forest. There are many ancient families here and many past customs are preserved, and the ‘Wind Washing Festival’ is one of them.
Every June, the summer wind blows through this wilderness, bringing refreshing water vapor and nourishing the plants on the ground. This season is also the time when flowers are in full bloom. The elves in the 'Orchid Corolla'
They will throw the freshly picked petals in the wind, and then the petals will float to the large area of the Emerald Forest in the gentle breeze, which is very gorgeous and beautiful.
Under the bright sunshine, the "Orchid Corolla" is extremely lively. Many forest elves will come from other areas to participate in this celebration. Some of them come from other corollas in the Emerald Garden, and some come from remote places in the forest, trekking
I arrived here after traveling for a long time.
"The weather is a little hot, Jia Lan, do you want to buy an umbrella?" Xia Li saw a shop selling flower umbrellas on the street and said with a little interest.
Westena, Lorraine Hill, and Charlie walked on the street together, exploring the road surrounded by flowers.
"Me, I don't think it's necessary." Lorraine Hill didn't care about being exposed to the sun.
"It's better to buy one. Among the three of us, Jialan is the whitest. It would be a shame if she gets tanned." Xia Li encouraged the girl next to her to buy an umbrella.
"Then Charlie isn't afraid of getting tanned?" Lorraine Hill asked a little funny after hearing this.
"I'm used to it, and I've found a few suitable partners so far, so I don't have to worry about love."
"But Jialan is different. It would be a pity if it turned dark before you met the person you love." Xia Li said her own absurd reasoning.
"Is it true? I don't believe it." Vestina looked at her student and said casually. She knew Charlie's character very well. Only this guy would care about this kind of thing. She probably wanted to see it.
I looked at that umbrella shop, but I was too embarrassed to go there alone.
After all, this store is well-known for its signature, and the umbrellas and flower umbrellas it makes are exquisite works of art. The price is certainly not low, which puts many ordinary people away.
Unfortunately, Xia Li happens to be the kind of person who wants to increase her knowledge, but also has a good reputation and doesn't want the store clerk to see that she can't afford it.
"Go, go~" With Charlie shaking her arms, Lorraine Hill and Westena had no choice but to approach this specialized umbrella shop step by step.
"Welcome to Feiyu Umbrella Shop, what do you need?"
After entering the store, an elf woman came forward. She had a graceful figure and held a folding fan with petals in her hand.
"I need a parasol." Charlie said, already looking around the store, looking very excited and curious.
There are various styles of umbrellas in this store, including the simplest solid-color cloth umbrellas, and some luxurious umbrellas filled with flowers as decoration. And hanging from the delicate black and blue ceiling in the store
There are flower umbrellas of different sizes that have been opened.
Looking at the appearance of these umbrellas, they look like flowers dotted in the night sky, giving them a beautiful and tranquil poetic feel.
"That's it." As she said this, the female boss glanced at the three of them, and then introduced her various types of umbrellas.
"First of all, the most common waterproof fabric umbrella in our store is not only made of the best material, but also has the richest printed patterns and textures."
"Then there are umbrellas made of golden sun cloth and moonlight cloth, which can not only protect against wind and rain, but also have other functions."
"Are there any other effects?" Lorraine Hill and others asked curiously.
"Yes." As she said this, the elf woman picked up a silver-white umbrella and opened it.
"This [Silver Wind Moonlight Umbrella] can not only block the scorching sun, but also has a cooling effect. It will be very comfortable to use in summer." The inside of the opened umbrella has an orchid outlined with silver thin lines.
The pattern network, with a touch of magic flowing through it, is very gorgeous.
"So beautiful~" In the surprise of the three people, the female boss handed the umbrella to the three people to look at it carefully, and then continued to take out an orange umbrella.
"This is the [Golden Sun Chrysanthemum Umbrella]. In addition to basic protection from rain and sun, it also has the function of lighting up at night, resisting the cold wind, and maintaining warmth." As she said this, she opened the orange umbrella and placed it under the other umbrella.
Under the cover of the face, the figure below is also dyed with a light orange color, which makes people surprised.
"This is also very powerful." Charlie looked around the umbrella and seemed to like it very much.
It turns out that there are so many styles and types of umbrellas. Lorraine Hill also had a lot of curiosity and surprise.
"Is there any umbrella that seems to be used for combat?" Vistena also expressed her request at this time.
"After all, the main function of umbrellas is to prevent rain and protect from the sun. Combat is really not what I am good at. Although I have made many umbrellas, I estimate that there are only 2-3 that are actually related to combat." She said while taking the umbrella from under the counter.
A special umbrella was pulled out from the secret compartment.
When it was pulled out, the blue electric sparks flowing and exploding on the umbrella surface immediately declared that it was extraordinary.
Soon, the female boss also explained this in detail.
"This one is the [Thunder Slurry Umbrella]. It can store powerful electric current and be used in battle. It can also keep the user safe from lightning strikes."
"The specific demonstration has not been done because the current venue and time are limited. This umbrella is particularly useful for extraordinary people who use thunder and lightning abilities. It can easily block the attacks from the opposite side. At the same time, a stabbing sword can also be drawn from the umbrella handle.
, used in emergencies when someone approaches." As she spoke, she simply waved the open umbrella, and a burst of purple electric sparks quietly exploded in the air, leaving a residual light and shadow.
It's a very good thing. Lorraine Hill made a detailed evaluation of these three parasols with the help of systematic observations.
The Silver Wind Moonlight Umbrella and the Golden Sun Chrysanthemum Petal Umbrella are both outstanding silver-level creations, while the last thunder-jelly umbrella is a pearl-level creation.
Although these are of little use to Loland Hill, the difficulty and cost of being able to create these patterns on a small umbrella are far higher than ordinary extraordinary creations of the same level.
"Then pick one."
After looking around, Lorraine Hill finally made up his mind to choose a suitable one. However, unfortunately, two new customers also came to the store.
"Huh, it's you." The blond elf woman in a gold skirt had an arrogant and disdainful look on her face, as if she was unhappy to see Vesterna here.
"Sabrina, I didn't expect you to come too." Seeing this noble lady appear, Vesterna also responded to her, drawing attention to herself.
The person who came was none other than Sabrina, whom I had met at the Pelican Corolla last month. She was still wearing a gorgeous golden silk dress today, and there was another person accompanying her. Judging from the timid appearance of the girl, it seemed that she rarely went out.
Far away.
"Tiffany, please choose an umbrella that fits your hand. As a good lady, this is a must-have item."
"Yes, Aunt Sabrina."
But today, this arrogant lady seemed to have another mission. She first took the girl next to her to pick out an umbrella. Seeing this, Vistena couldn't help but refute her face to face. The elf sage
He also has an elegant side.
Unfortunately, Sabrina seemed to have some misunderstandings about Vestina's restraint. She thought that Vestina was afraid of her and did not dare to offend her.
While taking the girl to choose an umbrella, this lady who couldn't control her nature started to comment arbitrarily.
"Tiffany, in the future in the Emerald Court, remember not to interact with some rude people, especially those from the outside world. Most of them have dark minds and treacherous plans. You must be extra careful about what you say to these people.
, don’t listen to a word.”
"If they continue to get entangled, just call your friends you know and ask them to help you teach these guys a lesson. Then they will be honest."
"Some people cannot be influenced with a gentle attitude. They are all wolves that cannot be fed well and will only push for more." This noble lady instilled seemingly harmless truths, but in fact led the girl to
Extreme path.
After hearing this, Vestena finally couldn't bear it any longer.
Because of her past experience as a teacher at Jade Cage, she knew very well how much impact these words had on students who were new to the environment, and once such colored glasses were put on, it would be difficult to change later.
"Sabrina, don't you think these words are very prejudiced?"
"Oh, but I think these are all good words. Does the sage still want to interfere in the communication between me and the younger generation? When will such a thing be condemned? Is this the new generation of sages of the elves?
, it’s really a pity.”
Different from the last time, Sabrina seemed to have awakened a lot this time. Her taunting made Vestina's blood pressure rise, but it was really difficult to force a refutation at the moment.
After all, this is just a conversation between people and their relatives and descendants, and it is really difficult for outsiders to intervene directly.
Seeing the two people sarcastically sarcasticly talking to each other, the timid girl was a little nervous, fearing that the two big men would quarrel because of her own fault.
Although she was Sabrina's biological niece, she had lived in the courtyard for a long time and rarely faced outsiders. When she heard that Vestina was a sage of the elf family, but her aunt was quarreling with others, she was shocked.
I was very uneasy and even hesitated to choose an umbrella.
"It's okay, they are just expressing their different opinions. In fact, they all have their own starting points, and they are also for your own good. But in the end, it is still you who makes the decision, as long as it is the conclusion you reach after careful consideration and verification.
, then it is consistent and right.”
Seeing the elf girl wringing her fingers in the store, Lorraine Hill, who had been selecting at the side, stepped forward and spoke, gently comforting her.
Looking at this human girl who was more dreamy and beautiful than many elves, Tiffany was also surprised, and the voice as clear as spring water seemed to have a kind of magic power, making her originally nervous heart slowly relax.
"Yes." She lowered her head slightly and made a reply like a mosquito. Then she raised her head slightly and secretly glanced at the side face of the girl next to her.
The afternoon sunlight outside is fierce, but the interior seems quiet. Some tiny particles are floating in the scattered sunlight. The face of this human girl is so soft, and the tiny hair on the side of the ear looks transparent against the distant sunlight.
And the hazy reflection reflects the shining light, making people feel like they are immersed in a gentle dream.
"Thank you." She said softly, and then looked at Sabrina in the distance, as if she was afraid of being discovered by this aunt.
"My name is Tiffany." Although her eyes were looking at the various flower umbrellas hanging on the shelves in front of her, the elf girl quietly introduced her name.
"My name is Jia Lan, and I come from the human world outside." Lorraine Hill also replied quietly, and his voice could not reach the surrounding three meters.
Just like this, the two of them started talking quietly while choosing an umbrella. Far away from them, Vestina and Sabrina continued to argue about various things, ranging from their opinions of others outside to society.
Judgment of value, from the advantages and disadvantages of elves and humans to what kind of life is happiness, the topic between the two is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems to be getting more and more intense.
After trying to stop her, but to no avail, Charlie finally lay down on her back, sat on a small stool in the shop, and started talking to the proprietress here, no longer paying attention to the confrontation between the two big shots.
"Huh, I always feel like a teacher who can't settle down. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here. If such a scene is exposed, the image of the Elf Sage will be ruined." Charlie was lying on the counter, complaining.
complained.
"Haha, actually this is not bad. Seeing such a sage who pays attention to details and is serious and focused, as a member of the elf clan, I feel inexplicably at ease."
"In fact, no one dislikes people who do things seriously. I'm afraid that those who are muddy about everything and give vague responses will be more irritating." The landlady shook her folding fan and said something rich in life experience.
Discourse.
And half an hour later, the two girls finally came to the counter.
"Have you made your selection?" Charlie asked curiously as she looked at the two people in front of her who were about the same height.
"Yes." Lorraine Hill and Tiffany stood together and responded together, seeming to have a budding tacit understanding, and then placed the similar umbrella on the counter.
One handle is made of golden blue chrysanthemum, and the other handle is made of blue flowers and gold wire. The two handles are like a pair, and there is an inexplicable harmony and similarity.
