After two days of sailing, the boat arrived at the island where Letis lived in seclusion.
After stopping at this small harbor, the three of them stepped off the boat and boarded this quiet town decorated with red bricks and ivy.
There are only about a hundred households living on this small island, and most of them are concentrated near the port.
Life on the island is very peaceful. People walk slowly on the street, greeting people they know casually, and often stop to chat for a while before continuing to work.
There are flower pots placed in the flower shop on the street. Dense green leaves overflow from the flower pots, reflecting the sunlight through the glass. Among them, the pure white lilies are particularly quiet in the sunlight.
Occasionally, residents will bask in the sun in front of their homes, sit in deck chairs, and listen to music and news from the radio. A few fluffy dogs chase a tabby cat and run happily across the street, causing a burst of laughter.
.
"Is it in this small town?" Wei Miya asked Lorraine Hill beside her softly.
"It's really a relaxing and soothing environment. Even I kind of want to live here." She gently covered her head with the sun with her hands, and walked with her companions on this sparsely populated street.
"Loran, there's a cat here." Keti walked beside Loland Hill and pointed to a tabby cat squatting on the wall not far away. Most of its body was white, and a small part had gray and black stripes.
Well, it should be a hybrid of civet and cat.
"Yes, they are still looking at us, maybe out of curiosity." Lorraine Hill looked at the tabby cat in the distance, waved slightly, and the cat meowed, then jumped off the wall and disappeared.
"Run away." Keti said slightly disappointed.
"Hmm." Lorraine Hill felt that he had scared away the cat.
"Keep walking, Letis's home seems to be on the island, not on the beach."
"I heard that she also has a small manor here, where she can let her pets run around while she sits under the shade of a tree to enjoy the coolness and quietly watch the fruits above her head slowly ripening."
"Does she also have pets? I remember when we were in school, Letis would often quarrel with Alena over having pets." Vimiya recalled the distant campus life.
"Yes, Letis likes small animals very much now. According to the letter she wrote, she has raised many small animals, including cats of various colors, squirrels that like to climb trees, and animals on the roof of her house.
Nesting towhees.”
The three of them were walking slowly along the street, gradually getting away from the port where residents gathered, and the sides of the road gradually became deserted. As far as the eye could see were green and rolling fields, dotted with patches of woods of different sizes.
There are tall plane trees on both sides of the road, and the tree crowns overlap in the sky above the road, like a huge arch. Walking on this road with fallen leaves flying, it is like gradually stepping into a quiet world.
The shoes stepped on the dead leaves on the road, making a slight crackling sound. Occasionally, a few fallen leaves were blown by the wind, scraping on the ground, making a slight sound, and then fell onto the hill where the fallen leaves accumulated, and stopped.
.
Slowly turning around the bend in the road, doing this several times, a courtyard surrounded by a black iron fence and red bricks slowly emerged behind the hill.
"It should be right there." Lorraine Hill looked at the map and then walked forward.
Arriving at the front door, Lorraine Hill pressed the doorbell and waited quietly.
Soon after, the door of the mansion in the courtyard opened. A middle-aged maid came over, asked the three of them their purpose, and then opened the door.
"Madam is still taking a nap at the moment, and she probably won't wake up for a while, but she told me in advance that friends should be coming over in the next two days, so we have cleaned the room in advance." The maid walked in front of her.
In front, Lorraine and Hill were introducing the situation.
"Meow~" A tabby cat stood on the roadside in the courtyard, looking at the maid passing by.
"You're tired of playing outside, please come back." The maid gently bent down, picked up the tabby cat, and then slowly introduced it to the three of them.
"This is my wife's cat, but it is a bit naughty. It often goes home only once every few days. This time it is probably because it is hungry again." She said while petting the tabby cat.
Walking into the interior of the mansion, a slightly cold atmosphere greets you.
"Sorry, there are very few guests in the mansion. Usually, another companion and I take turns taking care of Madam." As if she wanted to express her apology, the maid explained a few words, put down the cat in her hand, and then prepared hot water for the three of them.
Hot tea.
The three of them sat in the hall and looked at the oil paintings on the surrounding walls, which included pastoral scenes, portraits and animals, but what attracted Lorraine Hill the most was the oil painting next to the closet.
Bright blue occupies most of the oil painting, which is the color that represents the sky. In the painting, a flying space fighter plane is painted with silver-gray paint. The details of the fighter plane are also outlined clearly or blurred, and there is a glass cover.
The raised rubber sealing part that is connected to the fuselage, the code name painted in red letters on the fuselage, and the driver waving and smiling in the cabin. The old texture of the oil painting collides with the technology of the new era, bursting out a kind of
Strange visual charm.
The scene described in the picture was the time when the space fighter was just successfully developed. The society was filled with a lot of excitement and expectations. At that time, the coalition government had just been established. People who had lived in the Eastern and Western continents for a long time realized this vast world and the blue sky outside for the first time through film and television.
situation.
The blue planet, the distant sky and the earth, full of novelty, people waved goodbye to the old era, and then entered the 60 years of rapid development.
Looking back now, it seems that 80 years have passed since the time when this painting was painted. Lorraine Hill slowly drank tea and recalled all the experiences he had experienced in those years.
Time passes unconsciously.
A woman wearing an autumn yellow dress and holding a knitted shawl slowly walked down the stairs. She had golden hair, but the color of her hair was a little pale compared to what she remembered. Her once flawless face now also has some traces of...
Crow's feet.
Letis held on to the handrail and walked down step by step. She looked at the three people in the hall, seeming a little unbelievable and a little surprised.
"Loland? Vimiya, and Keti." Her pace quickened a little, which forced the maid behind her to step up quickly and follow her to prevent her from falling.
"Letis..." The three of them also stood up.
There was a burst of hugging and comforting with tears of joy. After a long time, Letis's mood stabilized, and she sat in the middle of the sofa and held hands with Loren and Vimiya.
"Although I have always seen Lorraine on TV, I didn't expect that we could still talk together after so many years." Letis pinched Lorraine Hill's slender fingers and slowly recounted this.
years of experience.
"Actually, I'm living a good life. I slowly handed over the workshop I ran to my younger generations more than ten years ago, and then moved to this small island myself. Alena comes here basically once a year, and Eidolon comes here occasionally.
Stay a few nights." She carefully wiped the tears on her cheeks with her handkerchief, her mood gradually calmed down, and she still had a smile on her lips.
…
"I don't have to worry about life. Nothing goes wrong. The property I have accumulated over the years will allow me to live a good life."
…
"I used to care a lot about career matters and seemed to have endless energy, but now I have put them down. I have not paid attention to the field of my previous work for a long time. Now I just sit at home, watch my favorite programs, and occasionally accompany me"
The friends are walking in the yard."
…
"I have three cats, two dogs, five lovely birds, and a bristle pig that occasionally sneaks into the yard to eat. Yes, the squirrels in the woods occasionally feed them, but these
The guy didn't kiss me at all." Letis laughed again.
…
"I occasionally go shopping at the island's port when the weather is fine, but mostly Kay does the shopping for me. She is very familiar with it." Kay welcomed the three of Lorraine and Hill.
That maid.
The four of them talked about what happened over the years, and occasionally laughed again, until the sky slowly turned dark and the magnificent chandelier illuminated the hall.
"Dinner is ready." Kay came over and told them that the restaurant was in the next room.
Afterwards, the four of them sat in the restaurant to dine. During this period, Lorraine Hill also saw several cats squatting on small stools in the corner of the restaurant, eating the prepared food. It seemed that the maid also made a portion for them when preparing the food.
.
"It's very delicious." The dinner was not luxurious, but it was very appetizing and just right.
After eating, the three of them followed Letis to the second floor where she lived, and then to the room where Letis often used to take lunch breaks and watch movies and TV shows.
The floor is covered with thick and warm blankets, and there are some packaged snacks and fruits on the small coffee table surrounded by the sofa. A large TV is placed next to the wall. There are also posters and posters of some well-known film and television works hanging on the surrounding walls.
Pictorials range from distant and recent eras, some are realistic, and some are more fantasy-like.
Sitting on the sofa, the speakers on both sides of the room started up and played the starting music, and then the lively TV was turned on.
Letis rummaged under the TV counter to find the videos she had left in the past. Many of them were from her travels around the world. Occasionally, she could see some familiar faces, such as Alena, Eidolon, and Niya.
Bu Mantha, wait a minute. It can be seen that Letis has been to many places before going into seclusion, and the whole world has basically gone around.
Letis in the picture is still young and lively, wearing various dresses made by herself. Sometimes she sits on the side of the boat, looking at the lake below, and sometimes she steps on the flying monster and feels the strong wind.
The light and shadow slowly flowed, and Letis talked about when she went to these places and what interesting things she encountered at that time.
After the broadcast, the four of them played some games again until late at night before falling asleep.
The next day, Letis took the three of them for a walk in the courtyard, introducing the small animals raised in the house one by one. The bristle pig that often ran into the yard to steal food was also caught by several people, and then Letis brought a brush and
I used the water pipe to bathe and brush this big pig with brown hair that was half the height of a man. Although the guy struggled a little at first, he seemed to enjoy it later.
"Actually, it knows Madam. After all, it can get something delicious from Madam every time." Kay explained to the three of them.
"But this guy is very greedy and runs away every time he eats. During the winter, he will dig a small pit in the corner of the yard as his home."
"It should be considered a Warcraft, although it is only Sequence 2."
"Hmph..." After enjoying the bath, the big guy grunted and ran away, then disappeared into the thick grass.
"Forget it, let it play around." Letis stood up and handed the brush to the maid aside to put it away.
"Today I will take you to walk around the town. Although there are no specialties here, there are several scenic spots and restaurants that are very good."
The four of them stayed on this small island for a week, walking with Letis, playing games, feeding small animals, occasionally watching movies together, going fishing on the sea, etc.
Until a week later, everyone set sail again, heading to the Antarctic maritime city 'Phoebe'.
"I won't go. After all, I'm not in good health and it will easily hold you back. In addition, say hello to Alena for me." Standing on the shore of the harbor, Letis waved goodbye to the three of them, and then the boat drifted quietly.
Towards the sea.
Looking at the figure standing on the shore, slowly becoming smaller and blurry in his field of vision, Lorraine Hill finally slowly lowered his arms.
She looked up at the sky, which was still as blue as it was then.
It's just that the figures under the sky have changed from generation to generation.
————
After a long journey, the three finally arrived at this large city in the southern sea of glaciers.
Hemispherical domes float on the sea, with various new-style buildings inside. Flexible airships shuttle through them from time to time, and large aircraft take off and land from time to time in the sky.
After a complicated review and inspection, the three of them finally walked into the warm urban dome and felt the spring-like weather inside all year round, as well as the green trees decorating the streets.
"Alena works at a higher education institution." Lorraine Hill recalled some details.
"I used to work in a research institute, but recently it seems that I have switched to a more leisurely job. I am currently serving as the dean of the college. It is said that I want to build a school that suits my own needs."
"Alena's ideal has come true." Wei Miya said about what happened in the past.
"What ideal is it?" Keti asked curiously. She couldn't seem to remember which ideal it was. After all, Alena boasted of many Haikou back then.
"Of course that is the future great sage of the magic sequence, the user of thousands of magical beasts, the overlord of the seven seas, the inventor of alchemical creations that is popular in the world, the triple great Miss Alena~☆" Vimiya imitated Alena
The tone of the year was repeated.
"Now the college she is staying in is called 'Triple Greatness'. Fortunately, many teachers and students don't know the true origin of this name." Wei Miya shook her finger and seemed to sigh a little pitifully.
"Hahaha, Alena can really do it."
"However, it is also very powerful. It can truly realize the Haikou that I have been talking about step by step." Lorraine Hill lifted the hair beside his ear and stopped in front of a gate.
The door here is extremely tall, with a dragon's head, a sheep's head, a lion's face, and a three-headed monster statue holding a big sign below, with a line of large characters "Threefold Greatness" written roughly and boldly.
"This is it, the college where Alena is."
Good night everyone~
