The girl who performed the puppet opera was none other than Lorraine Hill. She held the suspension wire in both hands and manipulated the exquisite puppet in front of the dark curtain, making it make various movements according to the command. Then during the girl's explanation
The story continues.
....
"In the end, the girl resurrected her former companion, and everyone gathered together to celebrate her birthday. Amidst the laughter, she shed tears of happiness."
As the program ended, the children and adults watching on the side applauded, with expressions of satisfaction on their faces.
"Thank you for watching. If you are interested, you can also take a look at the candies we sell." The girl lifted up a corner of her skirt, bowed her head slightly and saluted, and then stepped away from the stage.
When she reached an empty tent, the girl transformed into Lecia again.
Although it was a spur-of-the-moment performance, she still made sufficient preparations, and the result was pretty good. Compared to performing directly in front of everyone before, this format with a layer of puppets separated her seems to be more adaptable to her.
There are some things in life that are fun to try.
Lorraine Hill no longer thought about the nervous mood just now, took off the props, and held the puppet in his arms again.
"Thank you Yi Xue for your cooperation~"
"It's a small matter." The doll said. If outsiders saw it, they would be shocked. Fortunately, there was only one person in this tent, Lorraine Hill.
The two caravans repaired in Cold Spring Village for two days, and after selling a small amount of goods, they parted ways and set off again. Lorraine Hill and the others will go to Ned County further north, an area with many mines and the site of the Clancia Uprising.

Emenas, Bridge College.
On the school grounds, second-year students lined up neatly, waving their spears and practicing military marksmanship.
Now that the village has just opened, these new students who have just entered Qiao Pier College must learn military spear tactics, horse riding, formations, military discipline, art of war, etc.
As a military academy among the four university levels, these are all necessary basic courses.
On the fortress tower behind the school grounds, a young student was anxiously walking through the corridor. She had short black hair and jade-like eyes. The school uniform on her body showed that she was also a sophomore.
After showing her student badge to the guard guarding the gate, she entered a corridor inside the fortress and stopped outside an office. After arranging her hair and clothes, she took a deep breath and calmed down before leaving.
He raised his hand and knocked on the hard, thick wooden door.
Dong Dong——
"Please come in."
"Hello, Teacher Hood, my name is Jenna, and I just transferred to Qiao Pier Academy this year." The girl introduced herself straight to the point.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" A woman wearing glasses at the desk raised her head. She looked with an intellectual beauty.
"I want to take a leave of absence and go home. My hometown is in the Black Rock Principality. There are a lot of turmoils happening now. I am very worried about my family." There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in her tone.
"I understand. I can give you a long-term leave of absence from school, but as a teacher, I also want to remind you. Going home now is not a good option. You are very likely to encounter many dangers, and you have just changed your sequence.
, it is currently difficult to protect oneself.”
"I understand, thank you teacher for the reminder, but now I can't study with peace of mind even if I stay at school." Jina bowed deeply.
"Now that you have made up your mind, I will not stop you. Please keep this certificate. As a student of Emenas, some forces will still have scruples and will not embarrass you too much."
"Thank you, teacher." Jina thanked her again.
"Then let's go to the central school building and find a gryphon with a docile personality. Although it's not very docile, but with it, you can get back to your hometown faster."
"Yes, Teacher Hood."
After receiving a series of certificates and documents for leaving school, Jenna turned and left the office.
Looking at the student disappearing at the end of the corridor, the teacher pushed up his glasses and circled the name on the roster beside him.
"I hope she can return safely."

A few days later, Lorraine Hill's convoy entered a spacious road, and the number of carriages and people on the road gradually increased.
"Miss, this is Ned County." Mira opened the car window, looked at the scenery outside, then turned back and said to Lorraine Hill.
"Have we finally arrived?" Lorraine Hill looked at the scenery outside the window.
Surrounded by mountains, the mountains are undulating. As the carriage turns around a hill, a purple-red mountain is exposed in front of you.
A tall hill was dug out, revealing the rocky mountain inside. The stones inside were dark red and purple in color.
This place must have been an iron mine in the past. It seems to have been abandoned for a long time. However, due to the ore everywhere, there is not much grass growing in the mountains, so it is still abandoned.
There are many mines in Nied County. In the past era of the West Wind Kingdom, it produced a large amount of iron ore and copper ore in the country. It is a resource-based area in the Luoyan Province.
However, there are not many metallurgical factories in Nied County. Most of them are transported to Hongli City and smelted with the help of coal mines transported from other places. At the same time, water trucks can also save a lot of labor.
In the evening, the motorcade finally stopped in a city in Nied County. Although it is not the capital of the county, it is still prosperous because it is close to the south.
The miners who finished their work were walking on the street with their hands on their backs. They were all dressed in black and gray, talking about today's gains. Occasionally, they met a few alchemists in trench coats and robes on the road. Some heavy magic machines were parked next to some storefronts on the road.
picture.
While sitting in the restaurant eating, Lorraine Hill asked a local guide to ask him about the situation in the county.
"Hello, my name is Lecia. I am the heir to the Ragdis Chamber of Commerce. I have just arrived here with my caravan. There are some things I would like to know."
"Hello, madam, feel free to ask." The guide was dressed in coarse cloth, and judging from his thick arms, he seemed to be a local blacksmith.
"I saw some alchemists on the street. Where are they from?"
"Well, in fact, they are considered local mages, but if they are taught by masters, they are still from the faction of Lurna. This has to be said a long time ago, before the 'Battle of Broken Bow', when the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua signed an alliance, and some
The mages of Lurna came to support some of the projects to build West Wind."
"In order to obtain more metals and minerals, many of the mages came to Ned County to provide technical support, design structures, assist in mining, etc. During this period, they also brought some basic golem production techniques to assist
Mining.”
"It is a pity that this kind of support gradually disappeared after the 'Battle of Broken Bow', and the relationship between the two parties gradually became cold. Although there was no major conflict, most of the mages of Lurna also withdrew.
"
"The alchemists you see now are descendants of the local alchemy apprentices who studied with them. Although their strength and skills are not as good as the mages of Lurna, they are fortunately more friendly to the people. Today, many of the structures in the mines are made by them.
maintenance or design.”
"That's it." Lorraine Hill nodded, and then asked about the situation in some counties and provinces.
Most of Ned County's industries are related to ores, and there is very little agriculture. Most of them rely on imports from other provinces. This is also true. In the past, West Wind has used food to control this remote and important county.
Fortunately, now that Clancia has been established, food and other daily necessities have become abundant, so we no longer have to live as tightly as before.
...
"Is it a big deal now? Let me think about it. Several giant worms appeared in the past time and destroyed many tunnels. The official is currently looking for people to hunt these worms. And on the east side near the Sighing Mountains, there are Sequence 5
Warcraft is infested, but fortunately it has been resolved now."
"Oh, how was it solved?"
"It is said that he is a strong young man. He came from other places two years ago. He has extraordinary strength and can kill many monsters with his bare hands." The guide described a short man with reddish skin.
