"Hedra, you have become very popular recently."
When the three of them were sitting around the living room table in the evening, Lovier handed mango pudding to the girl opposite who was reading a book.
"Huh?" He opened his mouth and bit down the pudding in Lovier's hand. Sylutia tilted his head, expressing confusion.
"Ah, Hedra has really become cute with this look." Lovier continued to feed the remaining half piece to Sylutia, and then replied.
"I used to see you, and besides reading and studying every day, you would not ask anything else. But these days, you have started to respond to everyone, and even helped several classmates answer questions."
Hey, did I have this kind of impression in everyone's mind before, the girl thought to herself.
"I'm probably past the nervous stage at the beginning of school, and now I'm a little more relaxed, so I can have some free time to do other things." She explained slightly.
Aurora was holding the ice cream in his hand, and occasionally flipped through the thick book in front of him. Each page was filled with obscure and complex design drawings and annotations, which Lovier couldn't understand at all.
Listening to the conversation between the two, she occasionally read Sylutia, and then continued to flip through the book. Although she didn't speak much, she was not the kind of girl with a cold and unkind personality. She was more like the kind of girl who found dealing with people troublesome and time-consuming, so she maintained a cold personality.
It has been three months since I came to Asura District. Except for an accident on the way back from shopping, the rest of the time has been relatively stable. Among the three, Lovier is the most energetic and curious. She goes shopping every holiday. Now there are a lot of things she bought piled up in the dormitory.
In the first two months, the two of them would go with her, but later they discovered that the child would never stop, so Sylutia and Aurora didn't go out with Lovier much recently.
Aurora wants to learn the secret techniques related to Doll. Currently, he needs to lay the foundation and supplement various things, including complex mechanical principles courses. After getting familiar with the Mage Alliance's life, Sylutia has made up for some missing basic knowledge. Now he has a rough plan for the route he will take in the future. He is no longer as nervous and anxious as he was at the beginning, and has also begun to think about other issues.
If she wants to take measures to influence Mage Alliance's decision-making in the future, she must at least understand the thoughts and current situation of various groups at the Mage Alliance. Therefore, in order to conduct an in-depth investigation, she decided to first contact the classmates in the class, starting from the side, and slowly understand this large and complex organization.
Coincidentally, many of her classmates were curious about the results she had achieved in the pharmacy class and were eager to improve their mastery of this course, so many people asked her for advice, so she easily established initial friendships with some classmates in the class.
It's probably the kind of friendship where we invite each other to go out for dinner and shopping together without being too embarrassed.
"Do you have time this weekend?" Today is Thursday, and tomorrow is Friday. We have a holiday.
"No." Aurora has been thinking about no excuses lately and just shook his head.
"Aurora is so cruel." Lovier hugged the girl next to him and acted coquettishly. His golden eyes seemed to be filled with water waves in the light, so pitiful and pitiful that it was hard to refuse.
"It's not good to act coquettishly." Aurora shook her head again. She had suffered many losses before. Even though her physical strength was not bad, it was still not enough compared with the roommate "Blazing Sun" Aspect Power. One time when she came back from shopping, she felt sore all over the next day and slept in bed for the whole day.
"Ugh, Aurora dislikes me." Lovier curled up his fingers and wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye. His look was as pitiful as he could be.
"Alas..." Aurora sighed and put down the book.
"Why don't you take Hedra with you?"
"Because Hedra agreed to have dinner with other classmates." Lovier replied with a serious and considerate look.
"I..." I really don't have many friends. I'm really sorry. Aurora picked up his fingers and wanted to pinch Lovier's face, but unfortunately Lovier dodged it nimbly.
"Don't run away." Under Aurora's order, Lovier pitifully moved his face closer and leaned on Aurora's arm. This look made Aurora feel a little guilty, and in the end he could only pinch it gently as punishment.
"In this way, can Aurora accompany me?" She spoke again.
"Okay." Aurora feels like he doesn't have time to study this weekend.
Sylutia opposite looked at this scene with a smile, and then also remembered the scene where he was invited to a dinner party by several other students today.
"Thank you Hedra for your guidance these days, I really appreciate it." Several students of different heights thanked him in unison in the corridor, making people passing by take a few curious glances.
Compared with the college entrance examination in the previous life, the assessment results of the Mage Alliance are more important and more cruel. After all, the college entrance examination was not good in the previous life, that is, the university he went to was not good enough. But here, if the result is unqualified, it will be a direct bifurcation in life. Returning to the barren hometown will have no chance.
Most of the students who come here to study don't have much money. Even if they save a little, they still have to save money to buy various resources and materials for practice. These are bottomless pits that can't be filled up. No one dares to say that they have enough money to spend, even students with good family backgrounds. Only wealthy ladies like Lovier are carefree.
Although they were thanking Sylutia, they couldn't afford a lot of money, but they didn't mean it was inappropriate at all, so this time they invited Sylutia to have a dinner party on the weekend. For people from various regions with different customs and habits, eating is a rare event that is not annoying and is very universal.
One day later, Friday afternoon.
Since we have a break tomorrow, after class, the students in the class are quite excited. Many have already begun to discuss where to go to play tomorrow. Some also say that they want to practice what they have learned during this period and go to the student market to set up a stall to earn some pocket money.
"Last time I went to the market, I saw "scented candles" sold by students from the school next door. They were half the price of the ones in the store."
"Really? What's the effect?" Scented candles are mostly used to assist Meditation Technique in resting. They are needed by almost all students who aspire to become Mage. They have always been a common item.
"The effect is about 70% to 80% of what is found in the store. After all, it is a student work and is not as stable as the standard goods in the store."
"But the price is really cheap, and the money saved can be used to buy other things."
"Let's go take a look this time. By the way, we can also sell the potions we refined some time ago. Maybe someone will need them." Several other students said.
At this moment, Sylutia also packed up his things and prepared to get up.
"Sir Hedra, we will gather at "Madame Wenli's Shop" in Beetle Street at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Do you think it's okay?" A petite girl trotted over. She had small cat ears and a tail. She was a rare Orc in the class.
"Okay, I'll go."
"Okay(^o^)/~" she responded with a smile, and several other students not far away who were waiting for the news also smiled and nodded to Sylutia.
After that, these people dispersed, and Aurora also came to Sylutia carrying his schoolbag.
"Why do they call you, Master Hedra." Aurora was a little curious about this title.
"Aurora didn't pay close attention recently." Lovier also came over at this moment.
"Because Hedra helped them. When they call Hedra, they can't call him by his first name. This is not polite in many places except for close people."
"Generally speaking, you ask for advice from your seniors, so you can just call them seniors. But Hedra is at the same level as everyone else, and may seem a little younger, so he can't use this title, so he can only think of other things." Lovier explained to Sylutia, and then the three of them walked out of the classroom together and went down the stairs.
The next morning, Sylutia sat in front of the dressing mirror to take care of herself before going out. First, she combed her hair and tied a purple headband, then adjusted the details of her dress, and finally pinned the "Black Griffin" badge on her collar.
Then the girl went out.
Beetle Street is not far from where they live, about 1.5 kilometers and can be reached on foot.
This is a famous commercial street nearby, but unlike Wasp Street, which sells various materials and resources, it is mainly restaurants and clothing stores, and there are always students here.
Before she reached the agreed place, Sylutia saw several people waving to her from a distance across the street. It seemed that they had arrived early, because it was still more than ten minutes before ten o'clock.
After arriving at "Madame Wenli's Shop", several people went directly to the reserved private room on the second floor to sit down.
"The food in this store is delicious, but the cooking and preparation of the food is complicated, so we need to make a reservation several days in advance so that they can have it ready when we arrive." A boy explained the reason for choosing this place.
After sitting down, a few people started chatting, and Sylutia gradually learned about their situation.
First of all, the boy who introduced this store just now, his name is Willen. He was born in the central and western region of the Mage Alliance. He has a cousin who is already a third-level Mage. He was also guided by this cousin, and he passed the examination and came here to study.
"Actually, I have a few older brothers, but they are too old to learn, so I didn't follow the path of Mage." Willen explained simply. He was wearing a white shirt, with a straight body and square hair.
"It's really reassuring to have my brother to guide me." Another girl replied, holding her chin with both hands. She is the only daughter in the family and has no other relatives who became Mage. She only came here by studying hard on her own.
"My words were told to me by several sisters." The black cat ears twitched slightly, and the tail behind the chair also tilted up and swayed. This Black Cat girl named Alice comes from Honeysuckle District in the east of the Mage Alliance, where the mountains and forests are evergreen, and many Orc live there.
"They said that even if you work and sell alcohol in the core area of the Mage Alliance, you can make a lot of money, and then they encouraged me to come here."
"As for the results, Orc's assessment will be less difficult. I may not necessarily follow the path of Mage in the future, but may follow the path of Glyph Warrior." She licked the ice cream in her hand and answered slowly.
Glyph Warrior is a warrior who wears various enchanted armors with various carvings and is blessed with various abilities. They often serve as the guards of Mage.
Mage rarely learns Breathing Technique, and there are no extra card slots for these abilities, so the physical strength is weaker and requires some melee strength protection.
Several other people also talked about the situation. Sylutia noticed that among the six people including her, three were from non-Mage Alliance areas. It seems that Mage Alliance has recruited many talents from other regions in the past two years.
Of course, this is also related to the school she is in, because she heard that some schools only accept students from the Mage Alliance.
After the six people waited for a while, the ordered food began to be served.
"Shengqi Honey Cake""Lucky Leaf Passion Pie""Silver Cage Steamed Goose""Purple Fragrant Roasted Mushroom""Chili Fire-Salamander Roasted Meat""Elderberry White Lemon Wine"
Although it was a bit troublesome to make a reservation and the waiting time was nearly an hour, at this dinner, Sylutia also had a rare delicacy, even a rare delicacy in my memory. Not to mention the nutrition and benefits, it is difficult to match it in terms of simple deliciousness.
The other people were relatively reserved at first, but later they became immersed in enjoying the food and even talked less.
After lunch, the six of them left with a bit of reluctance.
"If I had known earlier, I would have ordered a few more dishes." Willen regretted a little.
"Ah haha, when I was collecting money, I was quite nervous. How could I have imagined that it would be so delicious?" Another student responded with a smile.
"It's so delicious. I will come again in the future. This is already my goal in life." Black Cat Alice was jumping up and down when walking.
"How do you feel, Lord Hedra?" Someone finally remembered today's protagonist.
"It's delicious. This is the first time I've eaten such good food at Asura District." Lovier often takes her shopping, but it's usually freshly made, so maybe she's not fully prepared.
Afterwards, a few people were chatting and laughing while shopping on the street. Because it was still early, there was no need to rush back.
"Sir Hedra, how about we go to this store and have a look?" said the leader Black Cat Alice, pointing to a store on the street with black and purple curtains decorated with bows, with "Wisteria Moon" written on it in ancient oriental characters.
"Is this store..." Sylutia recognized the handwriting on it and felt a little curious.
She now has black hair and black eyes, which is a typical Sixth Continent, oriental feature. However, in this life, she has no impression of that distant country. It may be because she has not recalled some memories. After all, most of the memories she recalls are from the age of 6 to 10, and those after the age of 12 are still blank.
Even though there are many similarities, there are still many differences between the Eastern people in this world and the culture of previous lives, and they cannot be generalized.
Accompanied by his companions, Sylutia walked into the store and found that it was unexpectedly spacious. There were not even a few clothes placed there. Instead, there was a low tea table in the center, and a faint fragrance lingered in the room.
Hearing someone come in, a woman in a black dress stepped out slowly. She didn't have many decorations on her body, but she had an extraordinary bearing. There was a hairpin stuck in the hair plate behind her head, with a hanging wisteria on it, and four crescent moon pendants strung together in it.
"Oh? I didn't expect that an old friend would come to the store today." When she walked into the store, she looked directly across the crowd and saw the slightly younger girl behind her with a somewhat playful expression.
"Old friend?" Are you talking about yourself, but she doesn't know this woman.
Sylutia touched her cheek lightly with her fingers, tried hard to remember, and then shook her head. She was sure that she had never seen the other person before. Even though she had lost a lot of memory, she still had no vague impression.
"Of course, in this faraway foreign country, seeing a child like you from the same place, isn't it an old friend?" She said with a smile.
It turned out to be this. Sylutia breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party knew her former self, she really didn't know how to answer and explain.
"Come in and sit down. It doesn't matter if you don't want to buy clothes. In fact, I open this store and have nothing to do." She invited everyone to sit down.
Several students sat on the mats out of curiosity, and then this dignified and kind classical woman poured tea for them, and finally sat opposite Sylutia.
After a brief introduction to each other, Sylutia learned that the name of the person opposite was "Yingzi", which means the flower and moon reflected in the water.
"Senior Yingzi, how did you come to this continent?" Sylutia is concerned about this.
"I set out twelve years ago. It took me three years to go to sea on Phoenix Bird Sailing Ship, and I came here after traveling several times." The other party poured tea for the others again.
"At that time, I went to sea because I wanted to find something special, that is, precious and special purple flowers and trees. This is the key to whether I can advance, and it is also the goal I set for myself."
"Do we have to use purple flowers and trees?" Sylutia was curious.
"Others can also be advanced." After the other party answered this, he looked at the girl, his eyes like fire reflecting in the water, pointing straight into the girl's heart.
Seeing this, Sylutia understood that her answer just now had more than just the superficial meaning.
After thinking for a while, Sylutia answered.
"You want to choose what you like, or advance in a way, right?"
"It's not "I want", it's "must"." The other party picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.
"There are many different ways to advance, but who I am and why I advance is the key." She said meaningful words.
"I like purple flowers and trees, but I can't wear purple clothes, and I won't embroider them on my clothes. Only when I wear black clothes, with nothing else embellishment on my body except the blooming purple flowers on my hair accessories, will I be so eye-catching."
"I understand." Sylutia understood instantly.
"Gee, he is indeed a smart kid from Bingxue."
When other people saw this, they were scratching their heads and wondering what happened between the two of them.
Happy New Year's Eve~
