Lorraine Hill was sitting in the store wearing an elf-style dress. The inner part was a pure white strapless dress, the collar was decorated with floral lace that gradually faded from light green to light red, and the cuffs and skirt had hollow gold
Broken leaf pattern, and under the collar and shoulders, there is a thin circle of transparent gauze, giving it a hazy and dreamy atmosphere.
The belt is a light green gradient color and wraps around the girl's slender waist. It is tied with a simple bow belt on the side of the waist, giving it a light and airy feeling.
"Lacie looks really good in this dress." Etesi clapped her hands happily and looked at the slightly shy girl sitting at the table.
"Don't be so shy, everyone likes Lacey very much."
"Yes~" After Atesi finished speaking, the maids behind her responded in unison, followed by all kinds of laughter.
After getting to know Artisi, Lorraine Hill came over several times in the past few days, first experimenting with the catalytic seed, and then trying other plants.
Although Lorraine Hill's current strength was not enough to catalyze the Holy Tree Seed, it was easily successful for some other plants. In this way, it also bore fruits in stages.
[Huang Cui Fruit] (Bronze level, rare): A fruit often grown by the elves, which can supplement a lot of nutrients, reduce the fire in the heart, and make the mind a little clearer.
In such a short period of time, Lorraine Hill, who was still in Sequence 2, achieved such results. It really surprised Etesi. Then she pulled Lorraine Hill and asked the elf maid in the store to help measure her body.
A few days later, this slightly gorgeous elf dress was completed.
"Sure enough, beautiful girls should wear beautiful clothes, so as not to waste their natural resources." Etesi nodded with satisfaction.
Since it was still early in the morning and there were no customers in the store, a group of maids had fun for a while before gradually dispersing.
"Little Lacey, I have asked you what I asked you to do before. A representative from the faction will come over this afternoon. If you talk to her then, you can enter the sect."
"Is it so easy? Don't you have to go through many tests?" Lorraine Hill raised his head.
"Well, of course I have a lot of pride. Haha, no kidding, you are actually very good. You don't have to worry about others looking down on you."
"To be honest, if we elves also have a faction in Donglong Continent, we will definitely bring you in, and we won't let the wealth go to outsiders."
"However, in this election, there are also many capable people, which surprises me deeply." Etesi paused for a moment, and then said slowly.
"You know, in fact, there are a few special geniuses every year. After all, the population base is here, but this year it feels like there are more people like you, Ying Canxiao, Wu Xingkui, and Huang Gu. In previous years, it would be good to have at most one.
Yes, four of them suddenly appeared this time."
"Speaking of which, the child Ying Canxiao has also made up his mind." When Aitexi referred to Ying Canxiao as a child, she looked particularly young, and there was a strange contrast in her appearance.
"He was originally the grandson of the previous leader of the Xuanyi Palace. He has good talents, but it is still a bit hesitant to join the Yanxing Sect as a core disciple. After all, there are not many core disciples in the upper sect, and they are usually inner disciples."
"But the behavior at the dinner that day was like a vote of trust." Etesi said about the process she heard from Irene, and Lorraine Hill also listened to the gossip of the Eastern Continent's sect with great interest.
"If I were a representative of the Yixing Sect and encountered such a situation, I would probably do the same thing as him and accept him as a disciple on the spot and train him as a core."
"Do you know why? Because it can set a good example and set an example, and it can overwhelm the other three factions."
"You see, the most outstanding genius in the Qi Lei Seven Continents, who is a descendant of Xuanyi Palace, has also switched to the Yixing Sect. Doesn't that mean that the Yanxing Sect is much higher than the other three sects? This has created a trend."
"And the result is indeed the same. In recent days, many newcomers have taken the initiative to contact the Yanxing Sect and become its disciples."
"But doing this is very hateful." Lorraine Hill analyzed.
"Yes, in this way his existence is simply a living sign saying that Xuanyi Palace is not good."
"If Xuanyi Palace hates him, the other two factions won't have any good impressions of him either."
"It was originally a small matter of becoming a disciple, but now it has caused a lot of uproar and uproar in the city. But this is also the point of his cleverness." Etesi raised her finger.
"Because if he doesn't do this, even if he enters the Yixing Sect, he will only be trained as an ordinary inner disciple. After all, there are too many geniuses in the sect, and you are not missing."
"Although he has aroused hatred now, he is still firmly bound to the Yanxing Sect, so the sect is willing to spend resources to train him."
"So, this child is very decisive." Atesi picked up the kettle on the side and poured cold orange juice for Lorraine Hill and herself to dispel the summer heat.
"That's true." Lorraine Hill held up the cup and took a small sip.
"If you were in Ying Canxiao's position, would you do this?" Etesi suddenly asked.
"Probably not, I don't like to conflict with people." Lorraine Hill said this. Although she has a lot of power now, she has been the kind of person who tries to avoid conflicts as long as she can remember.
"What a good boy, little Lacey." Atesi whispered.
"However, life is not always so satisfactory. Sometimes if you should fight, you still have to fight." Etesi was a little worried that this cute girl was being bullied.
"I understand." Lorraine Hill blinked. Although she was a little biased towards kindness, she was not ignorant. When it was time to take action, she would still take action.
If the other party is really heinous, then she will not hesitate to pick up the killing weapon. The more she understands the suffering of life, the more disgusting and abusive scenes she can't tolerate. But her usual style and temperament make it difficult for people to
I believe there will be such a decision.
Thinking about those years in Hopeland, until Adeley died in the end, it was unbelievable that this girl was so decisive and without hesitation.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. Come with me to the back garden to practice sword practice today." Etesi picked up the cup and drank the refreshing juice happily.

That afternoon, on the third floor of the elf shop.
A woman who looks about 30-40 years old is sitting at the table. She is wearing yellow clothes that look like fallen leaves. There is a golden hairpin stuck in the hair on the back of her head. The style is like a flying bird, with several pearls strung together in her mouth.
's pendant.
This woman was sitting in front of Lorraine Hill, with a dark red flower stuck on her right lapel. Its petals were slender and slightly curved, exuding a faint scent of incense.
The woman looked at Lorraine Hill quietly. The two had been sitting opposite each other for several minutes without saying a word.
"It's indeed suitable. You passed." After a long time, the woman said.
Hey, did you pass the test? Lorraine Hill was slightly surprised.
"Since you are a suitable candidate, let me also tell you the name of our faction. My name is Chiwu, from Huilu Continent, the Burning Sun Xiangyu Sect."
{Hui Lu: The name of the God of Fire, later extended to refer to fire.
"Guoyu · Zhou Yu 1": "The prosperity of the past Xia Dynasty was melted down in Chongshan Mountain, and its demise was the result of digging tunnels."}
"But this is just an introduction. If you want to become the core of the sect in the future, it depends on your own efforts." After she made up her mind, she explained quickly.
"Our sect is descended from the Immortal of Burning Incense, Hongchun. Our ancestor once traveled west with the Yellow Bird, and later returned and passed down the Taoist tradition. The main ones in our sect are Qianlong, Jiuyou, and Jietian. There have been people in the past dynasties who have climbed up the Nine
Ladder to heaven."
"This is Huang Zhi's token. You should carry it with you and go west for thousands of miles alone. After you return to Luzhou, someone will pick you up. If you haven't arrived before the winter solstice at the end of the year, it can only be said that there is no chance.
This is fate."
"Then let's call it a day." After saying that, the woman stood up, took off the flower from her collar, and put it on the table.
"This red fiber flower is given to you as a meeting gift." Then the woman slowly left, her figure as slim as smoke.
Lorraine Hill wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. He saw this woman walking down the stairs and stood for a long time before sitting down again.
She looked at the two things on the table.
[Huang Zhi Token] (Silver level, excellent.): Made by the Zhuoyun Xiangyu Sect, it is used to test newcomers in the sect. It can be sensed by disciples in the sect. It has a certain protective and evil effect, and can cause weak effects on ghosts.
harm.
[Netherworld Red Fiber Flower] (gold level, rare): It can be used to appease the souls of the dead. It has many benefits for ghosts or those who practice the necromantic sequence. It can nourish the soul, calm the mind, etc.
The girl recalled the scene just now. That woman was also extraordinary. In today's changed world, she had also reached the level of Sequence 6. She was almost among the best in the world. Except for a few Sequence 7s, there was almost no one there.
Can be suppressed.
When Lorraine Hill picked up the red fiber flower and observed it carefully, a sound of footsteps came from the stairs next to it, very softly.
"Little Lacey, congratulations." Etesi seemed to know the result and came over happily.
"Hey, I didn't expect Master Chiwu to give this to you." She looked at the bright red flowers on the table.
"You have to keep this carefully. It will be of great help when you advance to Sequence 5 in the future. It can help you resist those disturbing phantoms." Etesi put her finger on her chin, recalling the effect of flowers.
"It seems good if it is used to refine elixirs. You can find a master from Wanziqianhong Valley, otherwise it will be easily wasted."
"Okay, little Lacey, let's celebrate today." After saying that, Etesi walked downstairs and began to greet the other maids.
Outside the elf shop, on the carriage.
Eileen and the woman in yellow were sitting in the carriage, the wheels turning slowly, thinking about driving out of the city.
"How is that child?" Erin looked at the woman in front of her and saw that the red fiber flower on her collar was gone, knowing that Lorraine Hill had passed.
"The foundation is very good, and the character is relatively calm, not superficial and impatient." Then she stopped.
"Well, what about other aspects after that?" Eileen asked curiously.
"I just sat with her for a while, how could I possibly see everything." The woman in yellow glanced at her and said slowly.
"You think the way of Jiuyou is too bizarre. This way cannot read minds, nor can you see through other people's future achievements at a glance."
"Actually, in the early stages of most disciples, you can't tell how far they will grow in the future. The human heart is like a transparent stone, no one can see it, and even you may not fully understand yourself."
"Okay, I won't discuss my thoughts and ideas with you Easterners." Irene shook her head, with a faint smile on her face.
"I feel relieved when I can see you coming."
Chiwu picked up the tea on the table, took a sip slowly, his eyebrows relaxed slightly, and then put it down.
"A lot has happened in these years. From the time we met, twenty years have passed without realizing it." She said softly, looking at the still young ice elf in front of her, thinking of the time they spent the night together.
Sea scene.
"I don't think that the pampered ice elf lady back then has adapted to an ordinary life now."
"This is life. Although it is ordinary, I also like this kind of peace and tranquility. Sitting on the roof every day and watching the sun go down is also a kind of happiness."
The two of them talked like this until the carriage walked out of the city.
"Then send it here. After leaving the city, the other four factions will not notice any trace." Chiwu looked at Irene in front of him. The two of them were standing in a pavilion by the road.
"Okay, see you later." Erin waved.
Chiwu nodded slightly and took out a small gourd from his sleeve. After opening the lid, a bird-shaped ghost transformed into a shape beside him, and then condensed into a yellow crane.
After riding on the yellow crane, Chiwu's figure gradually turned into a black spot on the horizon and disappeared into the distance.
————
After accepting the two things given by Chiwu, Lorraine Hill also began to practice diligently, and often came to the shop to exchange ideas and experiences on practice with Atesi on weekdays.
At this time, several other geniuses in the election also chose factions.
Ying Canxiao entered Yanxingmen, Huanggu entered Yonglei Mansion, Wu Xingkui was preparing to go to Nolan Continent, where there was a hidden world, while Tang Nanlian took care of the ceremony and prepared to go to Qingluyuan of Muqing Continent.
On the day of separation, several people who had met at the dinner gathered together again, but this time the number of people was relatively small, only about 10 people.
In a pavilion on the hillside outside the city, a banquet table has been set up, with a small red stove stewed in the middle of the table.
"Sister Jialan..." Tang Nanlian sat next to Lorraine Hill, talking about her expectations and worries for the future. She hoped to enter Qingluyuan and shine, but worried that she would not be favored by others if she went to worship the mountain queen.
, cannot enter the mountain gate.
"Go and try, there is always a way." Lorraine Hill comforted Tang Nanlian, and then looked at the other people on the table.
Huang Ku still rarely talks, not because he is introverted, but because he doesn't know what to say, so he eats and drinks freely, looking quite free and easy.
Wu Xingkui held up his wine glass, looked at the gorgeous blue sky outside the pavilion, and hummed in his mouth, thinking about new verses.
Ying Canxiao sat alone on one side of the table, with no one on either side, drinking slowly, staring at the delicacies on the plate, but his thoughts seemed to drift to other places.
"After I leave, I don't know how many years it will be before we meet again. I would like to bid farewell to all my friends with this wine, and have a safe journey..." Lan Yuanqing slowly stood up and said farewell words, and everyone also did the same one by one.
stand up.
In the joy of this banquet, these young men, who were about 18 years old, separated and rushed towards their own futures and prospects.
