After Sylutia walked over, a chair was added for her to sit down. After that, the conversation of the masters shifted from discussing the various problems encountered during the support process to Sylutia, who walked over.
Because he looked very young, as if he was still underage, several masters were very interested and curious about Sylutia.
"How long has it been since Hedra entered the fourth level?"
"What courses and secret arts are you majoring in now?"
"Are there any other siblings in the family?"
"I heard that you did a lot of things along the way. Have you ever been scared?"
Several people asked questions one after another. Sylutia didn't know which one to answer for the moment, so he could only talk slowly one by one.
"It's been almost a year since I entered the fourth level." She advanced to the fourth level last summer, and it's not summer yet.
"Now I'm majoring in Secret Speech" Aspect Power's rune spells, enchanted carvings, fine craftsmanship, etc., and I'm also studying Alien Star's "summoning contracts" and other secrets such as star protection." She answered the main content she has learned and mastered so far.
"There is another brother and sister in the family, but they live on the Meteor Lake coast, which is far away from here."
"I encountered some difficult things on the road, and I also had some worries and tensions, but fortunately, they were all resolved."
Seeing the girl answer each question slowly and with clear memory, several masters present were quite impressed and satisfied. After that, the conversation became more relaxed. When they asked Sildiya some things, they occasionally recalled their experiences of studying when they were young.
"Is it actually from a place as far away as Meteor Lake?" Master Ain of the First Train group was a little surprised.
In his opinion, this girl with such excellent grades, perfect demeanor and perfect temperament did not come from an ordinary family. He subconsciously thought she was a queen from a famous family in the Mage Alliance.
In fact, this is quite normal. Most of those Mages who have shown excellent results and strength at a young age have the legacy of their parents, because even if one has talent, a profession like Mage requires a large amount of knowledge reserves and the mastery of sophisticated and complex theories in order to build a professional building.
Without the careful guidance of elders, relying only on education in rural schools, it is often not until Three Great Districts that you can slowly make up for the various foundations you have missed before, and all this will take time. By the time you catch up with those classmates from well-off families, most of them are already in their twenties or seventies.
"That's right." Sylutia's delicate white fingers pressed the collar lightly in front of him and nodded in reply.
"Speaking of it, the place where I was born is also very far away from the Mage Alliance." Master Wenersha recalled.
"My hometown is also outside the Mage Alliance, which is Gravel Mountain Range thousands of kilometers west of Meteor Lake. There is a small country there, and I am only the third daughter in the family, with two older sisters."
"The eldest sister got married very early. I was only ten years old at the time. I have forgotten many details now. The second sister and I have a closer relationship. I relied on her very much when I was a child."
"After that, I followed my teacher to the city Maoris on the south side of the Mage Alliance, which is the city with the local dialect of dark blue flowers and grass. There I came into contact with many new things. It was then that I officially wanted to be a Mage, and then slowly embarked on this road."
"But these all happened fifty years ago. The eldest sister passed away ten years ago. The second sister is still living in her hometown. I went back last year and the family is very stable."
Seeing her recalling the past, everyone also became interested in reminiscing and started talking about it one after another.
"My hometown is in the Mage Alliance, but it's not a very developed place. It's a small fringe city, and the security is not very good." Heeden briefly introduced it, and occasionally frowned when recalling it. It seemed that he was not very satisfied with some of the past events in his early years.
"Master Ge Zhen, I remember that we went on missions together when we were young. He was actually quite handsome back then. He came from a family of scholars and was very popular with the girls in the team." Speaking of this, Master Ain laughed.
At this point, everyone burst into laughter, and finally it was Master Ain's turn to introduce himself.
"As for me, hey, this sounds a bit unsociable. I am indeed from a big family in the Mage Alliance central area, but I am not as good as you think." Master Ain picked up the wine glass and shook it gently.
"Montelier Family, two hundred years ago there was a sage who brought glory to the family, and I was able to come into contact with many Secret History Knowledge from a young age. When I was enlightened, I was also taught by the elders in the family personally. These are indeed better than many people Qidian, but the family I was not the only one of my age in the clan, and we often fought at that time. There were also various small groups in the same big family, and I suffered a lot of bullying when I was a child." Although he was very self-effacing, the pride and relaxation in Master Ain's bones was indeed rare among the other masters.
After saying this, everyone talked about the study of Sylutia. Master Ain asked curiously.
"Hedra is practicing Astronomical Clock Page", right?"
"Yes."
The girl nodded incomprehensively. After hearing this question and answer, Master Heeden looked a little surprised. It seemed that he was the only one among them to know how special this girl was.
"How is your practice now? Are you sure you will advance in a few years?" Master Ain continued to ask.
"How many years? Well, it will probably take five or six years." Sylutia modestly put the time in the longer term. In fact, according to her actual estimation, two or three years may be enough.
Seeing Sylutia being so dumbfounded, Master Ge Zhen couldn't help it anymore. He coughed a few times to interrupt the inquiry, and then changed the topic to other places, such as how he felt after coming to Kandra, what he thought about this trip, etc.
Several other masters present here are also smart people. Seeing Master Ge Zhen changing the topic, they stopped asking questions and just smiled tacitly.
Later, when the meal was about to end, Master Ain said, "This is the first time we have met. It is really gratifying to see such a junior. As an elder, I naturally cannot be too stingy."
After saying that, he took out a crystal ball. Sealed in the ball was an airship that had been shrunk many times. It looked like a chubby red carp, and the fins on both sides were sailboat oars.
"This is a small airship I made before. One of them was given to my granddaughter, so I kept this one. I don't know if Hedra likes it."
[Crystal Ball·Redfish Airship] (Level 4·Excellence); There is an ultra-small airship that can carry 1-2 people sealed in the ball. Although it looks like a toy, the device structure inside is complete, and it is enough even for long-distance travel.
This crystal ball itself is worth a lot of money as a space sealing prop, even more than the miniature airship stored inside.
Seeing Master Ain giving such a precious gift, several people present were surprised, but they seemed to understand.
"Haha, don't be sorry, this is not something I can't bear to part with. I think the other masters must have prepared small gifts for you." Master Ain's words not only made Sylutia difficult to refuse politely, but also dragged several other people into the trap.
Although several other masters must have never thought about this before, under the leadership of master Ain, they could not object. They also smiled and took out one or two items from the things they carried with them and gave them to Sylutia as gifts.
Master Wenersha gave Sylutia an exquisite folding fan, which can blow out frost and foehn wind, and stir up strong airflow. It is a fourth-level, "excellent" quality creation.
[Frostfire Folding Fan](Level 4·Excellence)
Master Heeden gave a thick copper-shell spell book as a gift. The bookcase is extremely Sturdiness heavy because it contains a small amount of orichalcum, but because the Levitation magic circle is engraved on it, you can Levitation follow it yourself to assist in casting some of the engraved spells.
[Orichalcum Spellbook](Level 4·Excellence)
The gift given by Master Ge Zhen is a small drum. The soul of the ancient mammoth is sealed in the drum. Just by knocking it, a fourth-level ghost mammoth can be driven out."
[Spirit-Summoning Drum (Ghost Mammoth)] (Level 4·Excellent)
Sylutia After thanking the four masters for their gifts, they finished the sumptuous lunch while joking.
Two days later, the storm stopped completely, leaving only a slight breeze.
"According to the analysis of scholars who have observed and researched, it will be relatively calm in the next one or two months, but in July and August, the storm will come again, but the power should not be as exaggerated as last time." Novaton brought several technicians back from the furnace core and told Sylutia about the recent situation.
"Taking advantage of this calm period, we are going to North Wind Defense Line to inspect the fans and equipment along the way. Hedra, do you want to follow us? Otherwise, it will be boring to stay in the city."
"If I go, do I have to work?" Sylutia wants to know if this is La Zhuang Ding.
"Hahaha, I will probably let you go out and take care of the equipment to prevent it from being stolen." Novaton replied with a smile.
"Well, that's good, I'll go too." Sylutia really wants to go out and have a look. I heard that the scenery near North Wind Defense Line is very vast.
"Okay, then make some preparations. We may go on this trip for four or five days. Remember to bring a few changes of clothes and set off together tomorrow morning."
"Got it."
Returning to her room, Sylutia rummaged through her luggage. In addition to the two sets of dresses she wore recently, there were several sets of clothes inside, one of which was Inspection Department's combat uniform, one was Thetis Academy's windbreaker uniform, and one was a long-sleeved dress for attending banquets.
After storing the clothes in Storage Key, Sylutia took out several boxes of snacks from Storage Key in order to make space. Among them were those given to her by Amisha, those made by the train chef Kubo, and some that she had not finished eating before.
Because she doesn't eat much, she usually goes to restaurants and cafeterias to eat, and these snacks are consumed relatively slowly.
When ready, the next day.
In the morning, she gathered at the appointed cafeteria, where she not only met Novaton, but also Amisha and several doctors under her.
"Good morning, Hedra~" Amisha greeted her with a smile, as if he was waiting for her here.
"Amisha is going too?" The girl couldn't help but wonder.
"Yes, I just wanted to go out for a walk." Amisha and his companions replied.
"Cheris hasn't been following you lately? When we were on the train, I saw that she was always guarding you."
Thinking of that loyal and reliable subordinate, Sylutia put one hand on his forehead and nodded slightly.
"I asked her to go on duty, which means leading the team to review the number of materials transported to Kandra, counting accounts, etc." Otherwise, Cheris would have to follow her every day during this period.
"Giggle, that kid is too responsible, maybe Hedra is not used to it." Amisha covered her mouth and chuckled, then asked the girl to sit next to her and have breakfast together.
While eating, several people talked about recent interesting events, including the conflict that happened in the cafeteria two days ago.
"It is said that after that day, people from the Second Train group and the First Train group fought several times outside, but the scale was not so large."
"Considering the conflict between the two parties, the superiors have now arranged for the First Train team to prepare for the return trip, but they are still loading and unloading the goods."
"Kandra needs a large supply of materials. There are also many craftsmen here who can produce some goods to fill the financial gap."
"What about us, when will we go back?" Sylutia asked curiously.
"I don't know about that. I haven't been notified yet, but it shouldn't last long. I think there will be news within a month."
"Well, I understand."
After finishing the meal, Sylutia, Amisha and others came to the station on the lower floor of Kandra. There was a small train parked here. Its front was about half the size of Ninth Train, and its body was much smaller. It was loaded with several mechanical bodies, as well as compartments for storing parts and equipment and other goods.
"The carriage we live in is in the last few cars. Come with me." Novaton led a few people to the carriage at the back. It not only has special bedrooms and small rooms, but also a dining room, kitchen, etc., which is very convenient.
"Let's go, we're about to leave." After arranging for Sylutia and others to sit down, Novaton took people to the front of the train. Soon the whistle sounded, and the train started slowly, entered the tunnel inside the city wall, and headed towards the distance of North Wind Defense Line.
An hour later, the train had left the area of Kandra. There were rows of ventilated and light-transmitting round holes on one side of the tunnel, illuminating the track inside brightly.
"The side with the wind tunnel is to the south, which can be used for lighting and ventilation. The other side is completely closed to the north, which can block the inflow of outside air." Novaton will return to the carriage to sit down and introduce the passages inside the city wall to a few people.
He then introduced the history and process of the establishment of the Northern Defense Line to the two of them, as well as the several improvements and expansions in the process.
"Its completion is not only the Miracle in the history of the Alliance, but also because of its construction, many cutting-edge technologies at the time were researched and verified, allowing many possibilities that were originally only on paper to be implemented, and new discoveries and insights were gained during the implementation process.

"After the construction was completed, the Alliance harvested a lot of Transcendent with Gold Steam" and Castle" characteristics. Their advancement is also related to working near the northern defense line."
When Novaton introduced it, the train passed through a long passage. At this time, the wall with a wind tunnel on one side disappeared, revealing a completely open field of vision.
Outside, the green grass stretches as far as the eye can see, connecting to the end of the sky.
Under the protection of North Wind Defense Line, this land is still pleasant. You can see a small number of Grey-Mane Orc driving their livestock out to graze. They ride on Sturdy's pack animals and beat drums. They use the drums to guide the grazing animals, and the melodious sounds echo in the wilderness.
