Hoplaner has been a lot quieter recently. What happened to the Helis family and the Nisos family some time ago has gradually subsided, and the days seem to have returned to the past.
If anyone observes carefully, they will find that Young Master Fenton of the Nissus family has visited the Tisiphone family several times recently. Although the two families are related by marriage, the frequency is much higher than before. The Nissus family recently lost
Many orders were placed, and the family's only fleet was also sent to distant places. It was said that it was to import some rare wine-making raw materials, break the predicament, and re-establish reputation.
That night, the "Flower Beach" cold drink shop.
Although it has already fallen into the night, there are still some guests under the bright yellow lights. Maybe some people just like the atmosphere of this kind of candlelight dinner.
You can see two or three couples facing each other, talking softly, and under the dim candlelight, each other's faces seem to become more beautiful. They are talking sweet words, and from time to time there are a few bursts of laughter.
Lorraine Hill opened the door and walked to the bar. She was wearing a black hooded robe, with two strands of long golden hair peeking out from between the hoods. Her face was hidden under the shadow of the hood, with only her fair and delicate chin exposed.
When Lan Lier, who was sitting in the store, saw him, he waved and asked her to come directly.
After getting along with each other in the past few days, the two of them were relatively familiar with each other, so Lorraine Hill walked over with a little curiosity.
"Lacie, you're finally here. I thought you weren't going." Lan Lier said a little exaggeratedly.
"No, since I have agreed, I will come. It should be on time now."
"It's on time, but it's hard to tell on the road. If the carriage blocks the road, we have to run across."
"Okay, no more talking, let's set off now." After saying that, Lan Lier pulled Lorraine Hill out of the store, then turned two corners and came to a turning alley.
There was a black carriage parked in the alley. It looked very well decorated. The wheels were made of rubber and there were shock absorbers at the bottom.
Then Lan Lier pulled the girl onto the carriage. The coachman who had been waiting for a long time did not ask any more questions and immediately let the horse move and the wheels started to turn.
On the carriage, Lan Lier looked at Lorraine Hill opposite and asked curiously.
"Lacie, have you agreed to the teacher's invitation? She asked me to wait for you tonight and go to the theater with you."
"Not yet, but I want to try it first." Lorraine Hill is still curious about the world and wants to try many things. This is also very interesting, isn't it.
"Oh, I was so happy for nothing. I thought I would be able to perform on the same stage with you in the future." Lan Lier said pretending to be annoyed, holding her cheeks with her hands and pouting slightly.
"Does Lan Lier like the show very much?"
"I like it very much. My favorite thing besides alchemy is to stand on the stage wearing bright clothes, listening to the cheers of the audience, watching them go crazy for me, watching them falling for me, watching them screaming and cheering for me.
"
Lan Lier pointed her index finger between her eyebrows, closed her right eye slightly, and looked at Lacey with her left eye. Then her index finger pointed to the front of her face as she turned her wrist, drawing a 90° arc in the air, and a small golden star emerged from it.
The fingertips flew out, bloomed in the air, and then dissipated.
"Dangdang big star Lan Lier appears."
Looking at this funny scene, Lacey couldn't help but smile.
Then the two chatted for a while, and then Lacey became familiar with the script and score again. Unknowingly, the carriage had arrived at the back door of the theater.
"Aina and the others should have arrived early, we have to hurry up." Lan Lier led the way for Lacey.
There were many people coming and going in the corridor backstage of the theater. Some were carrying props, some were wearing strange clothes, and some actors had their faces painted with dye, each looking unique. The two finally walked into a dressing room.
There were many girls sitting inside, many of them were putting on makeup in front of the mirror, and some were helping their companions arrange their headdresses and check their costumes for performances.
"Lan Li'er, you're finally here. I thought you were going to be late."
"No problem, I'm going to pick up a new companion. She will be our behind-the-scenes singing accompaniment today."
"Oh...is this lady also participating in the performance today? I often meet her in the store these days. Unfortunately, I don't know her name."
"She is really talented. Last time I heard her singing on the second floor, I thought she was some famous singer."
"I heard from Teacher Filia that she is likely to be the lead singer at the next festival."
"Is it true? It is said that only famous singers from mainland China are eligible to perform at every festival."
"It's true, because I think her singing voice is more beautiful than Fless who came to Hopeland before."
"I think so too. That time I left late for dance practice and almost cried when I was alone in the dressing room."
"I didn't expect Lika to cry too. Haven't you always thought that you have a talent for singing?"
"I can't help it. The gap is too big to make me jealous. If Teacher Filia says this is the level of the Cang Diva, then I will believe it."
...
"Okay, you guys have time to chat, why not help me sort out the irises on my head. This is really troublesome." A girl in a white dress was fiddling with a complicated headdress in distress, and finally couldn't bear the gossip of her companions and said.
.
"Who told you to be the heroine today? There are so many clothes and decorations." The two girls chattered and helped the girl in the white dress arrange her headdress.
Lan Lier took Lacey into a quiet small dressing room nearby.
------------------
One day ago, in the land of the west wind, the wind blew across the wilderness.
As the core area of the kingdom and the origin of the west wind, this land is very fertile.
Under the blue mirror-like sky, the green grass rippled in the breeze, spreading to the distant sky.
Suddenly, a horse's hoof stepped on the grass, and there was a faint flash of lightning on it. After the horse's hoof was lifted, there was a burnt mark on the grass that it had stepped on.
A group of knights wearing bright armor came from the west. Their white and sharp knights' spears pointed to the sky like neat poles, and their silver shields had interlaced patterns of lightning and swords.
This group of knights is small in number, only about 700 of them. They are uniformly dressed in bright silver armor, with black war horses under their crotches, and dark blue manes with electric light flowing through them.
They galloped across the land at extremely fast speeds. Occasionally, a few rabbits on the grassland emerged from their holes. Before they had time to dodge, they whizzed past and disappeared, leaving only burnt hoof prints.
It only takes one day to cross a distance of a thousand kilometers, with a sound like thunder and a force like lightning.
