Wood stood in front of the table and looked at the star in silence for a long time before he answered.
"The reason why you are looking for me is not just for Gretel's business, right?"
"Well, I want to contact Pullman." Lorraine Hill showed a smile.
After hearing this name, Mr. Wood was very surprised. He came from the rebel army of West Wind, so it was not surprising that he was exposed. But what was the purpose of this young lady wanting to contact the leader of the rebel army by name?
"But..." He seemed to hesitate.
Lorraine Hill walked slowly indoors, answering Wood's doubts.
"Although you are not recognized by the Seven Snow Flower Countries yet, I am more optimistic about you. Besides, I have met Pullman before."
Lorraine Hill's fingers slowly traced across the wall, and then turned around. Her golden hair was divided into light and dark by several rays of light, and tiny dust particles danced in the light.
"I hope I can send a letter to Pullman. When he sees it, he will naturally understand who I am and the help and advice I give."
It was just a letter in the mail. Wood seemed relieved to hear this. He couldn't refuse this situation, could he?
"I can help you contact your comrades in the north, but it may change hands several times and cannot be delivered to the leader Pullman at once."
"It doesn't matter, how long will it take?"
"It will take 4-5 days at the fastest. This is the limit. Even the Faith Eagle needs rest." Wood replied.
"OK."
Then Wood took out the special letter paper and Lorraine Hill began to write.
I can only help you so far, Pullman.
With a strange sigh, Lorraine Hill used a pen to write words in a special order on the paper, and then drew a simple drawing at the bottom.
A little man stood under a tree, with a small box in front of him. Three things popped out of the box, namely wheat, a book, and a fruit, and then there was a star shining brightly above the little man's head.
This way he will know that it was written by me, Lorraine Hill thought to himself. Feeling that it was not enough, he drew a few more mushrooms next to them. There seemed to be ghosts floating on the mushrooms.
Looking at this magical letter, Wood wondered if this really wasn't a prank, but he didn't dare to comment casually. Maybe the young lady really knew Pullman?
After all, he heard that Miss Lacey of Carites grew up in West Wind.
After the letter was written, it was handed to Wood. He added some special marks before putting it into the bamboo tube. Then he took Lacey to a forest on the coast. With a few special whistles, a fat bird appeared.
It flew over from the seaside, still holding the uneaten fish in its mouth.
The brown-gray feathers shook off some water drops, then landed on the branch in front of Wood, swallowing the small fish and making a cooing sound.
Looking at this fat companion, Wood felt a little embarrassed. It was only because the food in Hopeland was so good. There were not only fish to eat, but also a lot of food scraps scattered among the goods.
"Do you just use this kind of bird to send messages?"
"Yes, although it doesn't fly very high, it has good endurance, is obedient, and is easy to serve."
Wood tried his best to find some advantages, not wanting the chamber of commerce eldest lady to look down on him and the rebels.
Looking at the fat bird, which was full of food and water and a little sleepy, Lorraine Hill nodded in disbelief.
After tying the letter to the bird's leg, Wood seemed to have spent a lot of effort to negotiate a reward with his companion, and then the bird flew up unsteadily and slowly disappeared into the horizon.
After sending the letter to Pullman, Lorraine Hill returned to the Chamber of Commerce and wrote another special letter. This letter explained many things and was directly recorded in a heritage gem.
After writing it, the inheritance gem was carried by the silver-winged warbler, and then it quickly flew across the sky towards the distant mountains and forests.
According to the recent report, the Rabbit Ears tribe has completed training the new legion, and now it is their turn to embark on the battlefield.
The shame, misfortune, and contempt of the past must be washed away with your own hands.
And war will be like a giant hammer, shaking people's hearts, constantly hammering, forging, and tempering the character of a nation, allowing them to recast their own self-confidence, pride, and dignity.
Only by being strong can you gain the respect of others.
--------------------------
In the next few days, Hopelan'er seemed to have restored its previous peace, and no major conflicts occurred. Then one day, Lorraine Hill suddenly received a letter and the messenger who sent it.
"Hello, Miss Lacey, I'm here as an intermediary on my father's behalf."
Daniel of the Yagtilin family stepped out of the carriage wearing a decent dress and holding a special volume of letters and documents in his hand.
The general idea of the letter is that the two parties hope to hold peace talks. The location will be provided by the Yagtilin family, which is neutral and trusted by both parties. It will be in a mansion near the sea. The time is set for tomorrow.
At the end of the letter, there were seals and approvals from the Tisiphone family, Anemii, Nissus, and the Agtilin family. Daniel was also followed by representatives from the other three chambers of commerce, who jointly answered some questions about the arrangements for the peace talks.
Lorraine Hill asked after inviting Daniel to sit down.
"Isn't Uncle Jelinek here?"
"Father has been busy these past two days dealing with some affairs and worrying about his sister's marriage." Daniel answered calmly.
"That's right. Does Uncle Jelinek also agree to peace talks?"
"Yes, my father also agrees. After all, it is too dangerous to continue the confrontation like this."
"Well, I understand."
Lorraine Hill lowered his head, looked at the tea cup in his hand, and then ordered Chelsea to contact the Hellis family to discuss the location, time, personnel restrictions and other matters for the peace talks.
It was already evening by the time the representatives of the Helles family arrived and the discussion was completed.
Lorraine Hill did not participate in the discussion, but walked alone in the corridor of the museum building, with a lantern hanging beside the corridor. Outside the corridor was a starless and moonless sky covered by clouds.
The Yagtilin family has always been on good terms with the Carites, and there is also a deep friendship between Jelinek and Angus. They are trustworthy people, and having them arrange the venue and act as a middleman should make the Carites happy.
Don't worry, madam.
This kind of thinking is normal, and besides, Jelinek's son came as a messenger to represent the Yagtilin family.
Walking in the corridor illuminated by bright and dark lights, Lorraine Hill remembered the scene when he visited the Yagtilin family for the first time. It seemed that a housekeeper was leading the way through the dark corridor, but what happened later was also known.
Since they want to achieve their goals in this way, then it's up to them, Lorranthil thought, it just so happens that Carites' casualties can be avoided.
She took out the [Shadow Candle] that she had carried for a long time, which was a gift from the senior witch.
[Shadow Candle] (Perfect Coral Level): The ignited ghost flame can transform into something imagined by the user. The transformed item lasts for three days, and the highest quality is gold level. (The transformed item must be understood by the user
of.)
A dark blue flame ignited from the candle, and the blue flame gradually spread, wrapping her body, and then a gorgeous crimson dress appeared on her body, with white pleated decorations on the cuffs, skirt, and chest.
The extraordinary dress provides extraordinary protection and strength, but the setting that it will disappear after three days is like Cinderella's glass slipper in the fairy tale, and what she has to do is to solve everything with her own hands before the glass slipper disappears.
Whether it's Angus's regret, the people Carites sacrificed, or the innocent lives lost in the conflict, she will make these people pay the price and repay it a thousand times.
