Getting on the roaring train, Sylutia came to Asura District again.

There was light snow falling in the sky, and the exhaled air was filled with white mist. The station was still noisy and lively, with students and crowds coming and going constantly, making Sylutia walking among them inconspicuous.

She walked through here carrying a light suitcase, and the sounds of chatter and footsteps around her reached her ears, as well as all kinds of complicated information.

Most people talked about trivial matters in life, and occasionally some talked about recent Asura District current events.

"I heard that there is another powerful guy among this freshmen class. His name seems to be Gray Crow."

"Gray Crow is a nickname, his real name is Luke."

"It is said that he likes to challenge other geniuses. He has only been in Asura District for half a year, and he has visited forty-five schools and named the most powerful students in the school to compete."

"Then there's his nearly perfect winning streak, and now Asura District a lot of people are talking about him."

"I heard that some students are dissatisfied and are ready to find his weaknesses and defeat him in the coming year."

"Of course the teachers don't care. They think this kind of competition is a good thing."

Walking out of the station, Sylutia stood still and looked at the urban buildings under the gray sky outside. The familiar feeling greeted him again.

Time flies so fast, four months have passed in the blink of an eye, and a new powerful figure has appeared in this area.

She pulled up her hood to cover her beautiful hair, and then walked into the snow.

In the afternoon, Sylutia came to the clothing store "Wisteria Moon" again.

Because the weather is cold, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and it is a bit deserted here.

After approaching, she first knocked on the door lightly, then took off her hood and shook off the snowflakes.

At this moment, a woman in black clothes walked out from the back of the store. When she saw Sylutia, she showed a welcoming look.

"Hedra is back, it's really rare." She smiled, then walked over and helped the girl clean up the few snowflakes on her hair, and then took her to the backstage room. It was very spacious and there was a small stove on which tea was boiled and oranges were heated.

Yingzi poured steaming tea for Sylutia, and then sat down as well.

"Why did you suddenly think of coming to my place? You are not such a nostalgic person, haha."

"I'm not that heartless, right?" Sylutia held the tea cup and looked at this place. It was almost the same as last year, with no changes.

"This time, there is indeed some trouble Yingzi."

"Oh, tell me, the only one who can come to me is to make clothes." The other party thought for a while.

"That's right, because this year's Silver Bell Festival is about to start, and I also want to participate, so I need to prepare a little more grandly."

"Are you being more solemn? Judging from your usual speaking habits, it should be a very grand request." She joked about Sylutia's statement.

"Let me think about it, since you came to me instead of going to Grace's place, I will definitely make you a good dress."

"Tell me what requirements and taboos you have first, and then I will help you think of a style."

"Are you requesting it... It should probably be based on black, silver, and dark blue, with a colder dark tone. It should be as dignified as possible and not too exposed."

Because Thetis Academy represents the first school of the Mage Alliance, its members Academy are also required to be more solemn and serious, unlike other schools, such as "Feast School", which are as exaggerated and bright.

After listening to Sylutia's request, Yingzi nodded, indicating that he understood.

"This is very similar to the Eastern Academy's "Prayer for Harvest Ceremony"." Seeing that Sylutia was curious, Yingzi said a little more.

"Every year during the New Year, each school will perform "Prayer for Harvest Ceremony" to pray for good weather this year and also to pay homage to ancestors and teachers."

"At the same time, the masters of the academy will also provide students with knot pendants to wish them another year of growth."

"I have taken orders like this before, which is to make clothes for students of Prayer for Harvest Ceremony. They all requested the same style, and the school uniformly issued them."

"By the way, I graduated from "Songgao Academy", which is an academy that specializes in cultivating Wang Zuo's talents. Although it is very famous, there are also many rules." Yingzi talked about his experience in the academy.

At that time, she wore the same uniform as all the students, practiced the gentleman's art according to the sundial every day, and lived a poor life.

"After graduation, I never went back there again. Although I occasionally miss my former teachers and classmates, the atmosphere in the academy is still too serious and boring."

"What style are you planning to use this time? If there are no special requirements, then just follow my preference."

There didn't seem to be any specific style requirements. Sylutia turned his head and thought about it. As long as the colors were consistent and the clothes were decent, no one would point fingers at them.

"Mage Alliance is quite open-minded, I like that." Yingzi smiled, and then came up with a plan for Sylutia.

"The main body is still a gothic dress, but on the cuffs and collar, I will use some oriental elements, such as spacious cuffs, exquisite embroidery, ribbon elements on the back waist, etc."

Sylutia didn't know much about clothes, and he believed in Yingzi, so he simply let the other party design it.

Finally, when it came to matters related to remuneration, Yingzi waved his hand and said no.

"I don't need to pay you, I want you to do me a favor." The other person raised his finger.

"You should also know that I have been looking for the purple flowers and trees I like and need to advance for a long time."

"Actually, I have almost collected it now, except for the last one, which will be difficult to obtain, and that is Jacaranda that blooms in "Land of the Moon"."

"Fourth Continent was once a place favored by "Radiant Moon" Hour Silver Moon Dragon. He once lived in "Land of the Moon", which was the place where the moon rested and slept. The environment was pure and flawless, and rare flowers and trees grew."

"After Eighth Era Silver Moon Dragon passed away, Land of the Moon fell into the Twilight Sea, but you can still enter part of the wreckage area through World of Shadows."

"The one who controls this World of Shadows is the most central and most powerful Mage faction "Mithril Clock" in the mainland. If you have the opportunity to go there, just pick a branch of Jacaranda for me."

"I understand. If I go there in the future, I will help Yingzi find Jacaranda." Sylutia thought about it and agreed.

After discussing the customization of clothes, Sylutia said goodbye to Yingzi.

It was already afternoon. She checked the weather, then took a carriage on the street and headed towards Fox's home.

Several friends whom I knew well in the past went to major Academy after graduation, and now only Hutao is still at Asura District. She happened to have to discuss with them the future development of ice cream.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the luxurious mansion of Fox's family. Under the notification of the servant, Sylutia soon met Hutao who was at home on vacation.

When he saw her, Hutao waved to her and asked her to come quickly.

"Since Hedra is back, just stay with me for the next few days. We should have been roommates." If Hutao had chosen to go to the dormitory apartment at that time, he would indeed have become roommates with Sylutia and Lovier.

After settling in, Hutao took Sylutia for a walk in the corridor of the mansion, admiring the snowy scenery outside. The two chatted about what happened after they separated. Hutao was curious about the Thetis Academy's situation, and also talked about the recent situation of Asura District.

"You don't know how arrogant that kid named Luke is." Hutao complained about the person who has recently become famous.

She was originally arrogant, but she didn't expect to meet someone who was more arrogant and arrogant than her. Naturally, she couldn't swallow it.

"Last month, he ran to our school alone and stuck his sword in the school square, saying that everyone was welcome to challenge him. If anyone defeated him, he would give the third-level gem in his hand to that person."

"At first, only a few people stepped forward to challenge. Later, when he saw that no one came on stage, he publicly mocked us and said that our school is full of waste and no one has the guts..." Hutao said, gesturing with his hands to show the other party's arrogance.

After hearing what she said, Sylutia finally became curious.

"What kind of fighting style is he good at? Is there no one who can beat him?"

"His fighting style is not upright, he is very mean and despicable." Hutao finally couldn't help but use some bad words and metaphors.

"Can you imagine, a Mage apprentice, uses a method similar to an assassin's sneak attack to win, and also likes to tease and deceive the opponent in battle."

"Is this... the other party "Mist Shadow" Aspect Power?" Sylutia thinks of the characteristics of "Aspect Power".

"Yes, he is "Mist Shadow" Aspect Power." Hutao nodded, then held Sylutia's arm and begged.

"Hedra, how about you teach him a lesson and let him know who the real genius is."

"This is not good, after all, I have graduated." This would make the senior students bully the junior students, Sylutia thought to himself.

"You haven't advanced yet, and you are currently at level two, so you don't count as bullying him." Hutao found a reason for Sylutia.

"Forget it, I won't be able to stay long when I come back this time." Sylutia doesn't want to get involved in this kind of feuding thing.

Seeing Sylutia shaking her head, Hutao had no choice but to give up, but she soon forgot about it and continued chatting with Sylutia about her favorite food.

"The new products we created last time sold very well. Even though it is winter, there is still a certain amount of sales."

"Hedra Do you have any good ideas? We can keep trying!" Her focus is not on her studies, but she is particularly concerned and fond of her family's industry.

"Well..." Sylutia couldn't think of any food suitable for promotion.

"Speaking of food, I found that Mage Alliance doesn't have much aquatic products." Sylutia thought of what he saw in the restaurant on weekdays.

Fourth Continent has two major inland seas, one is Ice Sea in the north and the other is Meteor Lake in the south.

"Meteor Lake There are many special aquatic products over there, as well as coconuts and tropical fruits. If your family can transport those things over, you should be able to make a lot of money."

Later, Sylutia introduced in detail that coconuts can be processed into "coconut sugar" and "coconut water", and can even be paired with coffee to make new drinks.

In a world where industrial cane sugar has not been popularized, sweet foods are still a minority, and candies have always been expensive, and the profits are huge.

After listening to Sylutia's description, Hutao's eyes lit up and he had a lot of inspirations and ideas.

"Wait a minute, Hedra, please speak slowly, I'll find something to write down."

At night, the two of them sat together for a meal. After that, Sylutia went back to the room to read for a while, and then went to bed to rest.

There were still several days before the clothes were finished. She wanted to walk around the streets of Asura District tomorrow to see how "Fire Pig" and "Four-Eyes" had taken care of the place during her absence, and also to test some of her ideas.
