In the following week, Sylutia and Lucas stayed in Scorched Stone City. Of course, they made some disguises and were not directly exposed to soldiers and people.
Under the supervision and assistance of the two men, Aru gradually took control of the soldiers in Scorched Stone City, and in the process all the soldiers were given a sum of money, which made everyone an accomplice and prevented some people from voluntarily leaking the information.
Due to the attack of these two men, the high-end combat power in Scorched Stone City was greatly reduced, and the soldiers were much more restrained than before. Aru also told the soldiers that those two mysterious and powerful guys would supervise them in the dark.
Under such fear, bullying in Scorched Stone City was greatly reduced. Afterwards, the two also contacted some retired scholars and young students taught by Scholar Heide, letting them gradually replace Anti people to manage the city.
Although Anti Soldier dislikes and rejects these people, under the repressive jurisdiction of Aru, he slowly accepts them. In fact, most of them are uneducated and do not know how to deal with various affairs in detail, such as calculation, summary, planning, etc. What they care about is that after the loss of power, the benefits they get will be reduced.
In order to make the allies around him strong, Aru took out 10 strings from the 20 strings "Blood Currant" given by Sylutia
The string was used to win over the First Order second-level officers in the garrison, so that the situation finally stabilized.
As for the future, the war in the southern part of the mainland is still going on. Whether Anti Kingdom will still be there in the future is a matter of speculation. Who knows what the situation will be like ten years from now.
After settling down Scorched Stone City, Xilu Tia came to the mansion where Lady Falan once lived.
The gate here is tightly closed, and the walls are covered with green vines. Judging from the slightly rusty locks, no one has lived there for a while.
Sylutia takes out the Lady Falan stored in the Association's Key from his sleeve, inserts it into the keyhole, twists it gently, and with a click sound, the lock pops open.
She slowly pushed open the door with both hands, as if releasing some kind of hidden seal, letting the light return to the mansion inside.
What you see at the entrance is a slightly bleak inner courtyard. Some weeds of varying heights have grown on the previously flat lawn. There are still flowers in bloom in the flower bed, but there are also some other plants in it.
The white door of the mansion is closed and the windows are closed.
Sylutia approached, opened the door, went in, walked through the dusty halls and corridors, and opened the sealed doors and windows.
Then a slight breeze blew, causing the curtains to flutter gently.
The scenery here is still the same, but it is much quieter than before.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, with the sun gradually setting in the west, Sylutia opened the letter Lady Falan left for her, read the beautiful handwriting on it, and recalled the first day she met this teacher.
Tia, welcome back.
When you open this letter, I have probably already left, going to the north of the mainland, where I was born.
It is a small country, famous for Bellflower blooming.
I have very complicated emotions about my hometown, which include nostalgia, sadness, staleness, and depression. When I feel disgusted, it occasionally appears in my dreams.
In your mind, my image may be very mature and tall. This is what I look like after traveling to many places and growing up little by little over time. Now, few people may know my childhood and girlish state and appearance.
The book will be turned page by page, and people will change little by little.
The Qidian of a story may be a very small thing, a small and helpless figure, but when the story comes to the end, people have long forgotten the original small Qidian and only remember its most blazing and prosperous appearance.
The differences are so huge and the changes are so profound that if you haven't read that thick book, you would simply not be able to relate or believe it, but this is the truth.
I have grown into what I once longed for. Those things that once hurt me and trapped me can no longer stop me, so I decided to go back to that place and resolve the regrets of the past.
Life is not long, but it is by no means short. There are many problems that you cannot solve at the moment. If one day you feel particularly difficult and helpless, then go travel.
Go to other places, experience new people and things, and begin to be reborn and grow again.
Do this again and again, until one day you are strong enough to face the past with a calm mind, and then come back at that time to save your helpless self.
Such a message may make you feel a little troubled, and it may not have much to do with you now, but when people leave, they often want to pass down their most cherished things.
This is my most cherished thought, and it is also the truth that I have never told you, part of the truth about my own experience.
People long for their true selves to be seen and understood by others, but they are also afraid of this truth being exposed, because this is their most vulnerable flaw. Therefore, many words that are difficult to say can only be spoken when they are parted.
Because at this time, they will no longer see each other.
Bellflower Plains is a very far away place, and you will stay in the Woodland for a long time. When we meet again, it may be more than ten years later.
Once again, I wish you success in your studies, find your cherished past, and discover the many surprises in life.
One of your senior gardeners, Falan"
After reading the letter, Sylutia looked at the sky outside the living room again. At this time, some red clouds had appeared in the distance on the blue sky.
The sound of the wind was still there, gently going around the window sill and the door curtain, reminding the girl of the scene when she had just moved here to live, with a bit of caution, anticipation mixed with joy, and fear that she would be blamed for not performing well.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly afterwards. Lady Falan did not impose any restrictions on her. Although Lining occasionally had a venomous tongue, he would not neglect himself and still patiently and meticulously taught her things that she did not understand at all.
This feeling was something she had never experienced in her previous life, but in this life, she enjoyed it twice. The sharp contrast made her feel happy and pitiful. Because of the beautiful contrast, the previous poverty and pain became more conspicuous.
Standing up, Sylutia felt many emotions. She walked slowly in the mansion, running her fingers over the familiar things, including the walls, tables, chairs, furnishings, and the figures that passed by in her memory, including hers, Talia, Lining, and Lady Falan's.
Finally, she came to the backyard of the mansion, where there was still a patch of golden Sunflower growing, but these Sunflower were newly planted by Lady Falan before leaving and did not have the same Aspect Power.
Although Lady Falan didn't mention anything about the flower field, Sylutia could sense the lady's unspoken thoughts from her actions. She probably wanted to test herself to see if she could recreate the beautiful golden flower sea.
Thinking of this, Sylutia picked up the kettle again, walked into the familiar flower field, and began to take care of these new children, which were also brand-new Sunflower cultivated by her, the new owner of the mansion.
