Chapter two hundred and forty second quiet afternoon
In the valley with sparse sunshine, several tall red pine trees are distributed near the foot of the mountains on both sides. The tall tree crowns cover the valley, and the tree shades cover the large open space. Against the bright afternoon sun, these tree shades look a bit...
It is so deep that the small world in the valley looks a bit blue.
A few cicadas were hiding deep in the pine needles and could not be seen, but their cheerful chirping could be heard one after another in the valley and forest. The wind occasionally blew through the treetops, and a few chrysanthemum-clad warblers landed on the branches and chirped. I looked at them curiously.
, and then flew away quickly.
In the shade of the empty valley, a large red casserole was propped on a stone, with a layer of charcoal burning underneath. The charcoal had white ash on the outside, and a dark red fire was faintly exposed in the middle.
Lorraine Hill stood on the big stone aside, looking at the hot steam coming out of the pot and the occasional bubbles. From time to time, he added a little prepared powder accessories, and then picked up the long wooden pestle to stir, with a serious and serious expression.
And calm.
Besides her, there was a red-haired girl in the valley. She sat quietly on a high branch nearby, curiously opening her eyes and watching Lorraine Hill refining the potion.
Huh, it went pretty well.
Looking at the slowly changing color of the liquid medicine in the pot, Lorraine Hill took a breath and slowly relaxed her expression. The next step was to control the heat and wait slowly. She turned her head and looked at the girl on the tree beside her.
"Keti, what do you think? Have you learned it?"
"Well, I probably can."
Keti nodded and answered a little proudly. She was wearing a rare light purple dress today, with white florals on the skirt and edges, and white socks and light shoes wrapped around her ankles.
"So smart." Lorraine Hill gave a small compliment, then turned back and sat on the big stone, slowly watching the liquid medicine in the pot take shape.
Since the end of the game, Osuna has been unconscious, and the Black Veil has no leader, and the internal chaos has gradually become chaotic. Especially after Yan Liuyan regained consciousness, he was freed from the previous confused state, and led his group of people to publicly declare their separation from the society.
, caused this newly born small organization to fall apart for a while. Now the inside of the Walled City Academy has been gradually taken over by the 'Black Water Lily' and its associated societies, and the previous order has begun to slowly restore.
However, she still didn't know what was going on with Si Ye and Chris. Although Lorraine Hill had thought a lot, due to lack of information, she didn't know what state these witches were in now.
If that doesn't work, after removing the anomalies on the students and teachers this time, go find Tidess. She will definitely know a lot and will have a way to find these people.
With this thought in her mind, the girl slowly extinguished the flame and then began to collect potions.
------------------
The Star Observation Room in the Sealed Book.
The phantom that disappeared and appeared wandered in the hall, flew over the high dome, penetrated into the layers of bookshelves, and then continued to harass and attack the two witches in the center.
Chris looked at the empty space opposite and said.
"Agatha, why are you stalling for time like this?" she asked tentatively, trying to find a flaw.
But no one answered in the empty hall, only those twisted phantoms made bursts of crying and howling.
Chris knew that this witch must be in this hall, she was just hiding herself using her special power.
The Mirror Witch was a little irritated when she couldn't get the result, because this situation had lasted for nearly two weeks. Although it didn't mean anything about the witch's lifespan, she was a little worried about the situation in the school.
"Don't be impatient, Chris." Si Ye held Chris's hand and said.
"There will be a way." Her tone was calm and confident, but the phantoms in the hall moved more frequently.
----------
A small town west of Temple College.
In May, the sun was shining brightly. Residents in the town took advantage of the sunny weather to take out the damp clothes and quilts at home to dry. The white sheets were clamped on the ropes, and pieces were slowly fluttering in the wind.
There are not many pedestrians on the street in the afternoon, and occasionally you can hear people talking during lunch on the street.
A girl wearing a white shirt and plaid skirt was walking on the bluestone street. Her brown round-toe shoes stepped on the tender green leaves growing in the gaps between the stone slabs. She pushed open the brown light wooden door and walked into one of the small courtyards.
The white cloth fluttered in the breeze. The girl stretched out her hands to block the slightly dazzling sunlight, letting the cloth slide through her long light red hair. After passing through the 'screen' of various patterns and cloth, a small open space appeared.
appeared before her eyes.
In the center of the open space, a lady was sitting on a recliner with her eyes closed, seemingly taking a nap or a nap.
The girl did not wake up the woman rashly, but found a small bench to sit on, then opened her bag, took out a book, and waited quietly.
After a long time, the woman opened her eyes.
"How is school life, Fengano."
"Very good, Lord Servais." The girl put away her book and replied respectfully.
"Don't be so restrained. It would be better to be a little more lively. I heard that you were not very lively before?" The woman sat up slowly and looked at the exquisite pocket watch at hand. The time displayed on it was exactly after 2 p.m.
.
"It used to be like that...but now I'm a little more sensible." Feng Nao replied softly.
"It's good to be sensible, but sometimes you will be happier and more comfortable when you are willful." The woman said. The long hair on the back of her head had a fine gemstone hairnet, which reflected bursts of colorful light in the sun.
"Is there anything big going on at school recently? I saw it was very noisy the past few days."
"The school held a biennial college competition, but this time it was very unusual..." Feng Nao slowly recounted what he had heard.
"It is indeed relatively rare. Did those old men suddenly realize that the previous games were too crude?" the woman commented casually.
"It doesn't seem to be the case. It is said that the sages and teachers in the school have become strange nowadays. They basically don't care about anything and just follow the rules rigidly in class." Feng Na continued.
"Strange?" The woman felt curious, then stood up and looked at Emenas in the distance, the college under the sun, birds flying through the sky, and the blue and purple glazed tiles reflecting little bits of light in the sun.
After a long time, she spoke.
"You will stay here recently. Don't go back to school for the time being. I'll go to Emenas for a visit and then make a decision when I come back."
"Huh?" Feng Nai covered her mouth in surprise and looked at the woman with wide eyes.
"Lord Servais, what is this?"
"It's not clear for now, let's talk about it later. There's something else I forgot to tell you. Your little maid has been found and is helping in the store now. I'll go see her later."
"Ah, is it Penny? How did she find her here? Didn't I give her a sum of money and let her live freely?"
Feng Na recalled the parting day and felt that her future was uncertain and her family was in dire straits, so she gave Penny a lot of money so that she could live freely and no longer have to follow her poor master. Unexpectedly, this girl still found her Came over.
"It's not easy for that child. She went through a lot of hardships to find you. Don't abandon others again. Maybe you feel that freedom is good, but she misses and worries about you more."
"In the future, there is no need to stick to the identity of master and servant in the past. You can be friends and support each other. It is a rare blessing to have such companions."
"Well, see you in a few days."
After Servais finished speaking, his body turned into colorful particles and dissipated in the wind.
