A week later, Sylutia entertained the visiting Lucas in the mansion.
In the tall, empty, and resplendent hall, Sylutia was wearing a pale white and goose yellow dress, and even her hairband was made of pale white and goose yellow satin ribbons. When she was sitting on the sofa, if you were familiar with this place, you would probably feel a sense of trance, because this temperament had a faint shadow of Lady Falan at that time.
However, among the similarities, there are also subtle differences. Probably Sylutia has more of the beauty unique to a girl and less of the grace and elegance of a mature woman.
"This is "Snow Orchid Tea", I don't know if the senior likes it." At Sylutia's signal, Lucas picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip.
"This is a very nice scented tea. Did Tia make it himself?" He took a small sip and savored it carefully.
"I can indeed make it myself, but what I drank today was left behind by my former teacher." Seeing that Lucas had some doubts, Sylutia continued to explain.
"While Scorched Stone City is learning Secret History Knowledge from Scholar Heide, I am also following another gardener in this mansion to learn related skills and knowledge."
"A lot of my foundation was also laid at that time."
Looking back on her journey as a gardener, she learned some of her most important abilities and secret techniques from Lady Falan, who can indeed be called her enlightenment mentor.
"Here, that's really nice Qidian." Lucas looked around and felt a little emotional.
He was born in a civilian family of Scorched Stone City. Although his parents were also city employees and were not poor, there was still a big gap compared to Sylutia.
"Yes, I am very grateful to Teacher Falan for taking me in and teaching me, otherwise I would probably have suffered a lot." The girl blew the tea and recalled the past.
The two of them sat here and recalled a lot of Scorched Stone City's past. The two people who were originally strangers became a little familiar.
"I didn't expect you were still studying at Winnie." Lucas was slightly surprised.
"Does the senior know Winnie?" Sylutia was curious.
"We know her, but she just came to Scholar Heide at that time. She was still very small, a bit stubborn and afraid of strangers. The teacher also asked us older students to take care of her."
"But since then, everyone has gradually become familiar with her. She is a relatively rare type among girls who can calmly read a book and think about some issues."
"As time goes by, everyone has some impression of her."
"However, her talent on the road to extraordinary Aspect Power was average, which made Teacher Heide feel a little pity, but he still loved her very much and later helped her introduce marriage."
"I don't know what happened next. I had already left Scorched Stone City and went to study at the Woodland."
After recalling the past, Lucas also felt a little sad.
In the evening, the two of them had dinner with old acquaintances at Scorched Stone City's restaurant. Here Sylutia met Scholar Heide's students from previous classes. Many of them were already in their thirties and were in the prime of life.
Everyone gathered around the two people, thanking them for rescuing Scorched Stone City from the crisis. During this period, they gradually understood the truth about Scorched Stone City's transformation. After all, they also need their help to take care of the city.
Here, Sylutia also met his classmate Yero again.
This former fat man is now much darker, and the previous fat has been replaced by part of the muscles, which has caused a lot of changes in his entire mental outlook.
"Tia..."
Yero Although Yero wanted to get acquainted with Sylutia and say hello, he became a little restrained because of the influence of Aspect Power's rank emanating from this girl.
"Yero Senior, long time no see." Sylutia lifted her skirt and bent over, her appearance was still the same as before, even a little livelier than before.
Seeing that the school girl didn't look down on him, Yero relaxed a little, and then began to talk about his experiences in the past few years.
"I first went to several other cities to study. Then the war broke out and I hid in a village and lived there for nearly a year."
"Life in the village is very poor and simple, but it also made me realize the real situation of many farmers. I probably grew up a lot during that year." Yero explained, rubbing his head.
"Now I work at Wheatfield Town, coordinating and guiding local farmers in farming. My income is not much, but it is relatively stable." When he said this, he was a little unsure.
"It's amazing, Senior Yero." The girl clasped her hands together, with a bit of admiration in her eyes. Such a look made Yero a little unbearable, and she quietly turned her face away.
Unexpectedly, senior Yero was also shy at times. The girl couldn't help but compare it to the fat guy in her memory who talked less.
"Wheatfield Town, I remember that place used to be Knight Levin's territory, what about Valenie now?" Sylutia thought of the girl who took her notes.
"Valenie..." The look on Yero's face was somewhat emotional.
"When the war broke out, she hid in the countryside and avoided the most dangerous period. However, her father Knight Levin was killed in battle, and the town owned by the family is now occupied by the Anti people."
"Now she lives in the remote Moss Stone Town, where she has a distant relative, but it is said that she is not happy living there."
"It seems that the elder asked her to help with the work at home, but she was particularly unwilling. She felt aggrieved and had several quarrels."
"Well, what about the other students?" Sylutia wanted to know what the other friends were doing.
"Most of the other people are currently in Scorched Stone City, but most of them are relatively ordinary and have no special changes."
"Baron, the former heir of Baron Holin, the one who tried to pursue Iona before. His cemetery is in the mountains on the west side outside the city." Yero recalled what happened two years ago.
"At that time, Anti's troops arrived, and Scorched Stone City also resisted for a while, and then surrendered after seeing that they were no longer able to defeat them."
"In that battle, Baron and his father Baron Holin were hit by the enemy's sharp archers and died on the spot."
"After Lei studied blacksmithing in Scorched Stone City for a year, he went to Stone-Forging City. At that time, the war happened to break out. Stone-Forging City had many craftsmen and Anti people also needed these craftsmen, so they adopted a tolerant policy and should not have suffered much harm."
"Comia went to the Witch organization in the north of Meteor Lake. I received a letter from her a year ago, saying that she was doing well there."
"Solin went to Wind-Cliff City before, which was the front line of confrontation with the Anti people and the place that suffered the most serious damage from the war. I don't know where he went afterwards."
"Mick went to another city to work as an adventurer. I haven't contacted him for a long time and I don't know where he is going. But as long as he doesn't directly participate in the war, probably no Anti people will target him. With his ability, he can just go somewhere deep in the mountains and Anti people won't be able to find him."
"Karen occasionally returns to Scorched Stone City. She should be at Valley City now. The current situation is very unclear. After all, Valley City has changed hands twice and is also the target of Anti people's suppression."
Three years later, the classmates and friends we were once familiar with drifted away like flowers.
After that, Sylutia thanked Yero, thought about it, and gave a White Stone Chess Piece to the other party.
[White Stone Chess Piece](First Order·Castle): A noble with a title, condensed with his own personality, with "Castle" Chess pieces with the power of Aspect Power can advance people with the carrying capacity to "First Order·Castle". (The gift of this kind of chess piece often represents canonization)
This was collected and kept by Lady Falan when she lived there, and later Lady Falan gave it to her directly.
Although Yero mainly attacks "Secret Speech", he is also at Scholar Heide and has learned a lot of secret techniques related to Castle, which should be useful.
Originally, Sylutia had an even more precious "Third Level·Castle" chess piece in his hand, which was a return gift from the "Iron Wall Crown Furnace" school. However, rashly giving this kind of treasure back to Yero who only had "First Order" would only bring disaster to the opponent.
After thinking about it, Sylutia planned to give the part [Sun Seed Oil] (First Order·Blazing Sun) that the lady left to her in the mansion to Yero.
"I won't stay at Scorched Stone City for a long time. I will probably have a lot of things to trouble senior Yero in the future. Please don't be polite, senior Yero."
Under the girl's soft words, Yero accepted it with gratitude and a bit of embarrassment.
In just three years, this weak school girl at the beginning has grown into a big shot.
