In the 117th year of the Fourth Age, after entering the Galaxy Age, Earth civilization began to explore this star sea again. As the activity of civilization continued to increase, more and more chaotic phantoms in the star sea gathered here.
In the large flat floor on the top floor of the coalition government, Lorraine Hill sat behind a square and simple desk. In the spacious hall, the floor was like a mercury mirror. This floor also had the function of a screen, changing from time to time, and sometimes it was a sea of spring flowers.
The wilderness is sometimes a sky with sparse clouds, and sometimes it is a blue and huge projection of the earth in space.
In the projection erected in the hall, one by one uniformed personnel reported to the silver-haired girl. After the 3D projection was turned off, everything became quiet again.
"It's a bit difficult to handle." In the empty hall where no one was observing, Lorraine Hill leaned on the back of his chair, looking up at the ceiling. Occasionally he put his feet away and stepped on the chair, which could relieve his legs a lot.
Ministry of fatigue.
With a slight movement, the office chair slowly rotated, causing the long silver hair to float in the air. Her eyes closed slightly, and then she continued to search for a solution to the problem in her mind.
Nowadays, human beings' activity has attracted more and more chaotic phantoms wandering in space, and their number is increasing faster than the limit that human beings can cope with.
Although she can also ask Keti to help, this kind of help will undoubtedly quench her thirst and attract more chaotic phantoms, so now Lorraine Hill is also having a headache like this.
This is not to say that it cannot be defeated completely, but such attacks have made the government exhausted again and again, and many internal problems have begun to accumulate. If it is not dealt with in time and has been brewing for a long time, it may be another 'Star Split Incident'.
Although the coups and rebellions decades ago were suppressed one by one, they also hurt many people's emotions and have always been scars that the coalition government did not want to mention.
The matter is not urgent, but it always exists, making people feel a little anxious. Even if they take a vacation occasionally, it is difficult to let go, like a stone in the heart.
Lorraine Hill hugged his knees and slowly sat up on the chair. He was dazed for a while, and then he simply walked down.
The toes wrapped in white stockings stepped lightly on the smooth floor, and there was a cold touch. Then the small soles of the feet touched the ground and stepped on a few slight footprints. Lorraine Hill came to the one-way light-transmitting glass wall.
Outside is a cityscape with bustling traffic. Here is the top of the mountain in Emenas, with exquisite and tall buildings lined up one after another along the mountain.
Because this is the capital of the coalition government, it is also the headquarters of many institutions and organizations, where many talents gather. It is also one of the most prosperous cities on earth today.
Because of the restraint of the coalition government, except for necessary buildings, most areas in the city still maintain the natural and beautiful scenery of the past. The former Jingyue Lake is still surrounded by grassland and forest, with only a few buildings on the snow-capped mountains, and the surrounding areas.
The environment is integrated into one, with boats plying on the Lanjian River outside the college. The once-infallible bridge has become taller after several repairs, and the lights are brilliant at night.
After looking at the sea of green and yellow trees and the rolling mountains in the distance, the girl felt much better, then returned to her seat and put on the shoes placed under the table.
After going back, let's discuss it with everyone. Sometimes, we have to admit that we can't think of a good solution. With this thought in his mind, Lorraine Hill simply packed up the things on the table and left here.
Although she holds an important position, she is very free to go to and from get off work, and no one seems to restrict her. She only needs to inform the assistant staff.
Standing in the elevator, Lorraine Hill waited quietly until the screen in front of him showed that he had reached the third underground floor, then he walked out of the opened door.
In the past, she would have flown home directly, but now it was difficult to do so.
Just like she had star-chasers in her previous life, now she also has many admirers in the outside world. If she flies back at will, her photos or reports may appear in various small media tomorrow, and then continue to attract many people to the building.
Observe secretly outside.
Being famous is really troublesome. Thinking of this, the girl tapped her forehead.
After getting out of the elevator, she found the black car parked in the special garage and got in.
From the appearance, this is a government-issued standard transportation vehicle. Like other civil servants, it is difficult to tell the difference. However, the internal protection facilities will be much higher and the various accessories will be more rigorous.
Turning on the automatic cruise system, Lorraine Hill curled up in her seat and prepared to take a nap. She has been very sleepy over the years, which is also a sequelae of using the power and the crown many times. If given the opportunity, she usually chooses to sleep.
Leaning sideways on the gray seat, the girl's hands lightly hugged her knees, her face illuminated by the dim light of the dial.
The excellent sound insulation effect makes the interior of the car very quiet, even if there are bustling and noisy streets outside.
The car drove quietly through the streets, and finally stopped in front of a shop in an alley.
There is a cozy and small dessert shop here, and it is also the place where Lorraine Hill and her friends have made an appointment. Because the alley is shrouded in a special barrier, ordinary people from the outside cannot enter unless they know the secrets, so
It's also very quiet here.
The car door slowly opened, Lorraine Hill stretched himself amidst the buzzing sound inside the car, and then got out.
"Sweet Poison" dessert shop, the signboard is made up of cute fonts decorated in different colors and flashes at night.
Walking into this cozy little shop from the dark street, a pleasant bell rang, and then a young woman wearing a maid uniform came over. She had purple shoulder-length hair, and the hair on her cheeks and bangs was slightly turned inward.
The bend makes her look a little more agile and charming.
"So it's Lorraine." The maid wearing purple and white striped stockings walked over with brisk steps, and then guided Lorraine Hill to the table left for her.
"Still here, wait a moment, Ragdis is trying to make new snacks, I will bring them to you to try later~"
"Thank you, Coris." Lorraine Hill nodded.
"It's okay, it's okay. Lorraine can come and play often~" Corris waved her hand, and then went to the kitchen to help.
Not long after sitting down, Lorraine Hill looked around. Besides her, there were several people in the store. One of them had white cat ears and tail. She was leaning on the sofa to take a nap while holding a soft pillow.
The maid outfit she is wearing is also a member of the store.
The white cat witch, Pfil, and Lorraine Hill silently chanted each other's names in their hearts.
Although she is a very senior witch, she has no airs at all and is very easy to get along with. The only thing that is a bit special is that she seems to be more sleepy than Loren, and she will sleep most of the time when she is helping in the store.
Fortunately, most of the customers in this shop are witches, so no one will mind this kind of thing.
In addition to Pfil, there were two tall witches sitting by the window near the door. There were wine glasses and two plates of snacks on their tables, and they were chatting slowly, even if Lorraine Hill came in.
Too much attention.
Lorraine Hill recognized the Witch of Locks and the Witch of Doors and did not go up to say hello.
Although she has resurrected most of the witches, these two still seem to have a subtle relationship with her, and they are not very talkative. Lorraine Hill does not want to disturb them forcefully at this time, so let nature take its course.
Picking up the newly created cartoon menu on the table, there are many new desserts on it.
"Blue fire dragon ice pastry, three-color ball fruit wine ice cream, hula-la swirl wave candy, crispy golden fruit cookies, purple love poison fruit milk..." Lorraine Hill read the name above lightly, imagining what it might be.
Such snacks.
Ragdis was in a daze for a long time after being resurrected, and then hugged Coris and cried for a long time. Everyone looked at her and wanted to laugh and pity her. This child was the kind of junior that everyone liked among the witches in the early years. Now in
With Chris's encouragement, the two opened this store.
At the beginning, Coris just wanted to give Lagdis something to do, and also to meet many new friends in the store. Later, this small store unexpectedly became a gathering place for witches today.
Compared with ordinary people, witches always have a lot of special features. Sometimes they get tired of other people's chatting and being curious, so they often come here to relax and get together.
Because most of the customers in the store are witches, there is no need to be as restrained as the outside world.
In the kitchen, the Candy Witch with wisteria-gradient light blue hair is standing in front of the stove. She is wearing a cute maid outfit, with white and blue knee-high socks wrapping her legs, and she moves slightly from time to time.
Ragdis held the clay pot in one hand, and held a spoon in the other hand to stir the pot, humming a song softly in her mouth.
Stirring with the spoon she held, the five-color honey in the jar became sticky and swirling, like a gorgeous vortex. Then she scooped out a little with a spoon and placed it on the hot plate in front of her, forming soft round cakes.
After doing this, Lagdis put down the jar, stood up on tiptoes and opened the cabinet above her head, took out a few cute-looking stamps, pressed them against the honey on the plate, and pressed them into different shapes, some of which were
Cute animals, some of which were five-pointed stars and the moon, etc. She then picked up the plate and placed it on the refrigerated stove nearby to let the honey cool and shape quickly before taking off the stamp.
Use a knife to knock off the excess parts, make some small trimmings, and then arrange the shaped colorful candies into a plate. The remaining parts are suspended and flying in the waving fingers of Lagdis, converging into a ball in the air.
Round little ball.
Picking off the candy and putting it into her mouth, Ragdis nodded, feeling that today's taste was very good, then picked up a watercolor pen and wrote the name of the snack on a note and pasted it on the plate.
She is only responsible for doing it. As for how to sell and deal with customers, just leave it to Chris.
Because of her own ability, their small shop almost does not need to purchase goods. Most of the raw materials are made by Lagdis herself, which is particularly free. Moreover, the menu changes almost every week, and can be adjusted at will according to her mood.
"Lagerdis~" Just when Lagerdis was thinking about doing something better later, Coris walked in.
"Have you done what the two of you needed before?" Corris looked at the table and stove.
"It's done. I also have a new idea for Chrissy to try." As she said this, Ragdis picked up a small piece of the newly made five-pointed star candy and put it into Chrissy's mouth.
Coris bit down on the piece of candy and chewed it before it completely entered her mouth.
Feeling the moist feeling coming from her fingertips, Ragdis retracted her fingers. This action made Coris want to laugh.
"Well, Coris is bad." Lagdis put her hands behind her back and looked at her best friend.
"Haha, it's just that Lagdis is too cute."
Corris explained briefly, then took out the list she had just written, "Loran is here, here are a few things she ordered, Lagdis, please prepare them."
"Is Lorraine here today?" Ragdis blinked, a little eager to see that silver-haired and special witch, but a little embarrassed.
Well, looking back on the diary she wrote, she felt so ashamed. She covered her eyes.
"It's okay, Lorraine won't tell anyone about it." Looking at Lagdis's appearance, Corris didn't know what she was thinking, and put her hands on her shoulders to comfort her.
"Hurry up and get ready. Don't keep others waiting." Afterwards, Coris hugged Ragdis again before going out, because there was another crisp sound outside.
"Loland~Sorry for being late." A familiar and pleasant voice came from the door of the store.
Wearing a light blue summer dress that was light and breathable, Vimiya walked in with a bag in hand. She wore silver high heels and walked on the checkered floor, making a crisp sound.
Compared to Lorraine Hill, who looks like a 17-year-old girl, Vimiya is now much more mature, probably in her 20s.
"Did you just fly here?" Lorraine Hill looked at her dusty appearance.
"Well, during the day, I was watching this year's graduates' performance at the Tide Theater on the Moon. It took me a while to write comments for the students one by one."
"Comments, it seems very difficult to write." Lorraine Hill remembered how he had written year-end comments for various departments some time ago. At that time, he also had a headache for a long time.
"It was a bit difficult, but now I'm getting better at it." Wei Miya picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip to relieve the fatigue of the journey.
"Loland must have made an appointment with someone today."
"Well, it should be here soon." Lorraine Hill looked at the wall clock beside him, and the time slowly reached 8 p.m.
At this time, a burst of light emitted from the wall in a corner of the store, the standing mirror originally placed in the corner flickered, and then a young girl dressed as a witch jumped out.
She lightly pressed the brim of the hat on her head, looked around, and soon found Lorraine Hill.
"Here I am, Lorraine." As she said this, the witch, who was wearing a black witch skirt, a big hat, and holding a short staff, walked over and sat down.
"I was just chatting with Chrissy and Si Ye, and I wanted to try out Chrissy's magic mirror, so I was a little late."
This youthfully dressed and slightly lively girl is none other than the former Five Phoenixes and the witch who stopped time and space, Dorothy Falcon Aranta.
Her blond, slightly spiral hair was exposed from under the brim of the black hat, and a few strands playfully hooked on her cheeks. After she sat down, she first lay down at the table and took a nap, and then waited for Chris to come over with desserts and drinks.
Wake up.
"Wow, Sister Ragdis has made new snacks again, they are so cute." Dorothy clapped her palms, and then tasted them with Lorraine Hill.
The night is still very long, and the witches have plenty of time. They have enough time to talk about business.
Now, let’s get together happily and have something to eat~
