After a wonderful lunch, Lorraine Hill carried the chubby Dai Ju down the stairs. After eating, the little guy was no longer suitable to squat on her shoulders.
After settling the bill, Lorraine Hill asked the staff of the restaurant to prepare a portion of fried beans and a portion of four-color seven-turn cake. They were wrapped in two paper bags and then left.
Because he had a few bags in his hands, Lorraine Hill was going to go back first.
Returning to Nandou Academy, I climbed up to the pavilion where I lived. I met several fellow disciples of the Xiangyu Sect along the way. Everyone saw that Lorraine Hill was carrying a lot of things, and some wanted to come over to help. By the way, they also talked with Duo Ri.
Say hello to the missing senior sister.
"Thank you, but it's not far from the room, so there's no need." The girl declined with a smile and briefly chatted with a few people.
"Senior Sister Luolan, are you going out shopping in the evening? The night market in Luojing is also very bustling." Several people invited.
"Yes, yes." The girl hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
"Then let's call Senior Sister Luo Lan." Several of the young girls replied happily.
Afterwards, Lorraine Hill returned to the room, placed the sleeping Daiju bird in his arms on a chair nearby, then took out a bag of prepared fried beans, poured it into a porcelain plate in the room, and said hello
The blue jay came over to eat.
Gah~
This usually cool guy might be really hungry today, so regardless of his usual aloof image, he flapped his wings and landed on the table to eat quickly.
Lorraine Hill looked at it, filled another dish of water and put it aside.
Then she sat by the window sill and read some books she had just bought.
The autumn sunshine is no longer fierce and shines on the trees outside the pavilion, reflecting brilliant colors. Although this is Luojing, it is extremely quiet deep in the academy, and one can clearly hear the wind blowing.
A slight sound passed through the curtains.
In this way, Lorraine Hill gently supported his head with his hands, turning the pages from time to time in the breeze, letting his hair sway gently around his neck, causing a slight itch.
The sky outside was a clear blue, and occasionally one or two white clouds drifted by, covering the sun and making the earth cool. Soon the sun peeked out from the white clouds and shone on the bustling and noisy city again.
Time passed leisurely, the sun gradually set in the west, and beautiful purple-red flaming clouds reflected the horizon. When the sky gradually turned blue-purple and darkened, Lorraine Hill also lit a candle, placed it on the table, reflected the firelight, and continued to immerse himself in the book.
That ancient and beautiful world.
dong dong dong
"Is Sister Luolan here?" Yu Tingyu's voice sounded, and there seemed to be several companions beside her.
"Yes, I'm here." Lorraine Hill finally woke up from the fantasy world in the book and raised his head to answer.
She closed the book, put it away, and walked to the door with the candle.
With a slight creaking sound, the wooden door opened, and seven or eight beautifully dressed girls stood outside the door.
These disciples of the Xiangyu Sect did not wear the usual Xiangyang Yuyi today, but instead wore clothes of different styles and colors, many of which seemed to have been recently purchased in Luojing.
"Sister Luolan, are you ready?" Yu Tingyu asked boldly because she was familiar with Luolan Hill. Several others looked at this famous senior sister in the sect curiously.
Feeling very young, maybe younger than myself? Looking at Luo Lan's appearance of about seventeen years old, this thought came to several people's minds.
"Ready." The silver-haired girl nodded, then thought of something, turned around and said hello to the room, and a blue-black bird landed on the girl's shoulder.
Dai Ju, who I took out to play during the day, is still sleeping soundly, so there is no need to take him with me. Blue Jay seldom goes out with me, so I might as well take him out to play.
Luojing is very beautiful at night, with orange-red lanterns hanging everywhere. There seem to be more pedestrians on the street than during the day, and some special snacks and accessories are also sold on the street.
Among them are many things from distant and exotic places, such as the strange rock candy animals made by ice elves who blow snow to melt ice. They are strung on small bamboo sticks and can be eaten as popsicles or ice cream. There are also fruity barbecues from the south, with fruit pulp cut into long strips and sprinkled on them.
The salt and pepper will make the taste sweeter, and paired with the sizzling cumin meat slices, it will be neither greasy nor too vegetarian.
Occasionally, you can see food baked in small copper bell-like molds. First, a layer of slices is placed inside the bell, then minced meat, dried fragrant spices, and diced vegetables are poured in, and then a layer of filling is placed on top.
Layer slices. Bake these small copper bells in the stove. After waiting for a period of time, take them out and place them upside down on the iron plate. You can wrap them in thick paper and hand them to the guests.
Wait for it to cool down slightly, and it will be a delicious delicacy. The surface is crispy and yellow, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, and it has a full taste.
In this way, a group of more than a dozen people from the Xiangyu sect, including men and women, walked in the night market in Luojing, tasting various snacks, and occasionally gathering together to buy some jade or carved trinkets.

Two years ago, the Canghong Empire of the Western Continent.
Scales as red as blood covered the whole body, only the abdomen was lighter in color. The giant dragon with two wings soared from the sky, and the shadow that blocked the sun swept across the earth, briefly covering the soldiers holding spears.
Under a castle in a valley, there is a sea of silver guns and swords. These soldiers are fully armored and wear hat-like helmets on their heads. There is a steel brim around the helmet, which can be used to block the sun or
rainwater.
In the middle and top of the helmet, there are two black and red feathers standing upright, symbolizing that these soldiers belong to the great Red Dragon Duke, the Pascal family.
Wearing gorgeous armor that combines beauty and functionality, this generation of red dragon dukes stood on the castle's observation deck, overlooking the thousands of troops below.
He is only about 50 years old now, in his prime, which is the most charming moment in the life of an aristocratic man. Now he has enough prestige, qualifications, mind, wisdom, experience, and strength to achieve everything he desires.
A few years ago, during the civil strife that swept the empire, it was precisely because he stood firmly beside the two princes Edelman and Edron and secretly provided various assistance and support that the coup was successful.
In order to repay the Red Dragon Duke, and also for the long-cherished wish of the empire for generations, a new round of all-out war has arisen. The emperor's envoys carry the emperor's voice and will and travel throughout the empire to convey the great recruitment order.
, calling on the men of the empire to join the army and realize this great ideal together.
Develop territories, be promoted to nobility, unify the continent, and gain countless honors.
The exciting slogans seduced and inspired people's hearts. The people at the bottom of the empire, who had already lived a difficult life, responded one after another. At the same time, some small nobles also participated, hoping to change the fate of their families.
As a powerful family and one of the initiators of all this, the Bhaskar family is naturally at the top of the wave.
Countless food, weapons, armor, horses, and many other resources are continuously gathering from all parts of the empire to the south. They will be turned into fuel for war and ignite this unquenchable heat wave. As the head of the nobles in the south,
, the Bhaskar family with the largest fiefdom and the most powerful power has now become the extension and representative of the emperor's will, taking charge of the terrifying heat wave sweeping the continent.
"I, Leodo Cang Pascal, the 29th Duke of the Red Dragon, the blood descendant of Cang Yue King Yalin, the dragon of despair that burns the world, the guardian of the southern border of the empire, the door of the dark rock, the blood
The leader of the Winged Red Dragon Knights, gives the order at this moment!"
"Go forward, warriors, until the sun sets, until the end of the world, until all victory is achieved!"
"And we will make the world fear and tremble."
The loud sound was like the roar of a dragon, echoing in the sky and the earth.
"Wonderful victory, the great Leodor Pascal!"
"Wonderful victory, the great Leodor Pascal!"
"Wonderful victory, the great Leodor Pascal!"
The spear is held high, the setting sun is setting gold, and the scales are shining. On the faces of old and young people, there are pairs of eyes that are burning passionately.
The march on the earth began, with black and red flags flying, and the red dragons flying and circling in the sky swooping down, heading towards the distance where the sunset set.
After the tentative vanguard arrived at the Apocalypse Fortress, the Red Dragon Duke finally integrated the empire's nearly 2 million troops and marched to the golden plain. As the legion directly under the Pascal family, it was naturally located at the center of the army. This face was dark.
The flag of the red dragon has also become the backbone of the empire's army.
Following the black and red dragon flag are heraldic flags of different colors belonging to different families. They may not be as powerful as the Pascal family, but they each also have their own unique private army. The 'Blue Longbow Army'
'Bear Helmet Heavy Cavalry', 'Venomous Bee Blade Regiment', 'Night Owl Assassination Team', 'White-horned Antelope Relief Order', etc., these various legions that were famous in the mainland in the past have joined in, including the survivors of the Frost Alliance.
The 'Silver Bell Golem Legion', the 'Blazing Gold Demon Cannon Team', and some of the 'Red Guards' directly under the emperor.
Among the four great dukes, although the Griffin Duke and the Unicorn Duke were somewhat indifferent to the expedition, they did not stop the nobles or vassals in their fiefdoms from leading troops, while the Raven Duke in the north sent a
The heir led three family legions south to support this battle.
The black crow on the flag heraldry holds purple branches and leaves, symbolizing its inheritance from the Mercury Dynasty. Although these necromancy-sequence legions number less than 10,000, the necromancers wearing black robes are enough to stir up terror.
huge waves.

One month later, Golden Plains.
A tall and ferocious giant fortress lies on the ground. The blue and hard stone bricks are full of scratches and pits from the years. There are still some sand and dust remaining in the gaps, which are blown into the distance by the dry wind.
This world-famous fortress has been reinforced and improved through the ages. The city walls are criss-crossed with each other, and tall arrow towers stand in it. Layers of reinforcement inscription arrays have been laid out inside and outside the entire fortress. Even if it is hard to
Resistance to Sequence 9 attacks is not a problem either.
When black and red flags appeared on the golden plain, the Apocalypse Fortress was already covered with flags with white background and gold patterns. Soldiers in full armor stood upright, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
The first to appear were the red-robed mages from the Canghong Empire. They stood on a high platform protected by the army and jointly cast spells. These three thousand mages were all Demon Sequence 4, and the spells they cast were naturally inherited from the former True Red Empire.
, but after hundreds of generations of improvements, the side effects are no longer as obvious as they were in the past.
Thick lead clouds gradually gathered in the sky. As they gradually accumulated and pressed down, these dense clouds emitted a black-red color like magma, and the suffocating heat could be felt even from thousands of meters away.
Seeing that the magma-like thick cloud was about to drip, a magnificent and complicated golden array also appeared on the central square of the Apocalypse Fortress.
The golden sands of light gathered in the air, forming pieces of feathers, and then fell down, outlining the patterns of feathers, stars, moons, suns and other celestial bodies on the ground.
Then the girls wearing white wings in the center of the square put their hands together and prayed.
"Pursue the will of the original wind and open up a path among the stars. The sky must not be stained. The flowing fire and dark clouds must be dispersed."
These girls from the Wing Clan all practice the Angel Sequence. Since they already have wings, they are better at this sequence. After following the Archangel of the Wind, they also began to use the classics and the Lord
Quotations and biographies restore the belief in this original wind.
As one of the pillars of the Sun Throne, the pure wind of change can indeed answer some devout prayers, but it is difficult for ordinary people to synchronize with its will and ideas. But with the reference of those personal quotations, many people can finally
Simply resonate with it to take advantage of some of its power.
This is like the true name of a god or demon in mythology. If you know that adult's will, open your heart to resonate with it, and have devout faith, then you can rely on the adult's power.
Of course, this kind of help is not without cost, or it is more like an exchange. If you are not strong enough, you will still be unable to use it. It is just a tool with high demand, but it is also very easy to use. If you are not strong enough,
, and cannot be wielded.
But even so, for some beings who have no way out, such a gift is still enough to change everything.
The dense clouds stacked up in the sky seemed to be blown by the invisible wind, becoming lighter and thinner. Even if the red-robed mages tried their best to guide and cast, they could not change this outcome.
Finally, the sky returned to blue again, the dark red fire clouds dissipated, and the two sides once again stood against each other under the blazing sun.
"In that case, let's get started."
The tall dragon spear shot straight into the sky, a bright flash of light emerged from the tip of the spear, and hundreds of red dragons soared in the sky. These dragons of despair from the Pascal family once again evoked the ancient scene in the memories of countless people.
The golden and red flames spurted down, like meteorites and rain of fire, and sprinkled on the giant fortress. Even the sun was no longer dazzling in the blazing fire. Black and red flames and smoke were everywhere, and the terrifying heat wave of molten gold and fierce rocks began.
Taking the world by storm.
Facing these abusive dragons, long dragons wearing blades and scales also stood out from the smoke.
These Aerial Ankylosaurus from the Southern Islands, the aces of the sky, will once again shoulder the important task of resisting the invasion from past enemies.
The hatred and regret that spanned thousands of years have never been forgotten.
