Accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air in the distance, a flickering firework rose into the sky and exploded with a bang. The spreading vibration was like beating a big drum.
Dots of fireworks also dispersed, and then crackled down.
On a winter night, sparse sounds of fireworks could be heard from the river bank, one by one they exploded and fell again.
Occasionally, you can see some small stalls on the streets of the campus, where some students sell things, including barbecue snacks and some old items.
After the older batch of students graduated, they couldn't take many things with them, so they disposed of them directly. Many junior students would come to take a look and discuss the price, and the school became lively again.
Lorraine Hill and the others were sitting in a pavilion by the river bank, watching the hustle and bustle in the distance, and a few sporadic fireworks rising in the night sky from time to time.
There were no lights in the pavilion, only the occasional flash of firelight in the sky illuminated the faces.
"Eidolon is asleep." Lorraine Hill touched the girl who was rising slightly on his knees and whispered.
"She can still sleep so well." Lily wanted to tease her, but after watching for a while, she still didn't make a move.
Just like Aliena said yesterday, it's the last few days, so let's leave a good impression.
"Where are you going to go in the future?" Alena raised her head, her brown and black hair hanging in the air, and looked at the people behind her.
"I still have a few years left, I haven't thought about it yet." Lily gently poked Ye Ling's face with her hand, and it felt quite soft.
"I guess I will go on adventures around the world like my dad." Alena said, she is a person who likes to run around and travel.
Letis looked at the rising fireworks in the sky and said softly: "Go home and become a famous alchemist. I guess you can also make some beautiful clothes on weekdays?"
"There's nothing new, Letis." Alina complained at the side.
"That's how it is. Most people's lives are so simple." Letis rolled her eyes at Alena.
"But aren't you a young lady from a big family? You should have more freedom. Shouldn't you have more freedom to do things that ordinary people can't do?" Alena felt a little sad.
"Perhaps in some directions, the bottom line is indeed higher than that of ordinary people, but you also deify the role of wealth and status too much. In fact, everyone's joys, sorrows, and joys are the same, and it does not make you special or more ideal.
"
"Okay, okay, there is no end to this argument." Bumansha came out to smooth things over.
"Where is Luo Lan, where will you go in the future?" Everyone knows Bu Mansha's ambition even if she doesn't tell her, it must be to return to her hometown and open a snack shop.
"I'll go back and take care of things at home first, and then I'll probably go out for a walk." Lorraine Hill said.
"You can come to the Southern Islands to find me then. I want to buy a big boat with spacious and comfortable rooms. My friends and loved ones will live in it. Then we can travel to various places together, see the scenery, and eat delicious food.
, when I’m bored, I just play games, sleep, read books and so on.” Alena thought so freely, her eyes gradually became excited again.
"It will probably cost a lot of money. First of all, a customized ship is very expensive." Letis said with a smile.
"But this kind of life is also very desirable, isn't it." Alena sat on the guardrail of the pavilion, shaking her legs, and said happily.
"There must be something to yearn for and dream about, otherwise life will be too dull and boring."
Looking at this girl with short brown and black hair, Lorraine Hill nodded slightly.
"After that, we will wait for Miss Alena's ship to take us out of the sea of misery."
"Haha, don't worry you will definitely see it."
"I am the future great sage of the magic sequence, the wielder of thousands of magical beasts, the overlord of the seven seas, the world-famous inventor of alchemical creations, and the triple great Miss Alena~☆"
"It's agreed."
————————
With the end of the winter festival, another group of students graduated and left Emenas. Some returned to their hometowns, some went to other big cities, and some pursued their dreams in some corner of the world.
And Lorraine Hill also took Keti back to the hut in the Maple Leaf Courtyard.
"Come on, Keti, put this on."
In the bedroom of the small house, Lorraine Hill and Keti were putting on a new quilt cover, and now there was an extra bed in the bedroom.
This bed is naturally for Keti to use at night.
"Okay, Lorraine." Keti nodded, caught a corner of the quilt cover, then pulled it open, and the two of them worked together to put the quilt core in.
"That's almost it." Lorraine Hill looked at the two neatly arranged small beds and nodded secretly.
It was still early, so Lorraine Hill took Keti out of the hut and helped Keti get familiar with the environment in the courtyard.
"This is a well. You can get water on weekdays, but it's best to boil it for drinking..." When talking about boiling, Luolan looked at Keti again. For this flame witch, boiling didn't seem to be a problem.
It must be necessary, because she is made of fire.
"This is the red maple tree next to it." As he spoke, Lorraine Hill pulled Keti and slowly flew up. Then the two of them sat on a thick branch, overlooking the scenery below.
The temperature in winter is not high, but you can feel a trace of warmth among the fiery red maple leaves. Those maple leaves are emitting a slight heat.
"This tree is the child of the flame." Keti said happily, touching the rough trunk with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Recalling the ability of this red maple tree, which indeed had the ability to turn its leaves into flying flames, and the temperature was extremely high, Lorraine Hill also nodded slightly.
The two swayed slightly in the air, and Lorraine Hill slowly introduced the facilities in the courtyard below, the small garden at the back, the well, the grape trellis, the small warehouse for food and sundries, the creek in the distance, etc.
"It's getting late, we have to go cook. What would Keti want to eat today?" Lorraine Hill jumped down from the treetops, and his body seemed to be walking on air, descending step by step.
"Is there any fish to eat?" Keti thought for a while before saying, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
"Yes. But we have to go farther to the river."
The two of them walked slowly towards the winter river, which was already covered with a thin layer of ice.
"We won't be fishing today." Stomping his feet slightly, shaking off the snowflakes and dew, Lorraine Hill thought about whether he should fry the fish, or use the atmosphere to directly stir up the river water and filter it.
But Keti on the side was already squatting by the river. She touched the river surface with her fingers curiously, and then bursts of white smoke rose, and the river water began to bubble.
"No, Keti, boiling the river is not allowed, otherwise we will have no fish to eat in the future." Lorraine Hill crossed his hands and made a forbidding gesture to Keti.
"Oh, okay, Luo Lan." Keti retracted her fingers, opened her eyes a little aggrievedly, and looked at Luo Lan. It seems that this flame witch still has a lot of common sense to learn.
