"Du, du -
The train's whistle sounded alternately, announcing that it was about to enter the station. Sylutia opened some curtains with his fingers and observed the city of Mihir that had already entered.
The streets here are clean and business is prosperous. You can see horse-drawn carriages and roaring Steam Locomotives on the road, as well as green glass that can be seen everywhere.
Most of Mishir District's buildings are decorated with emerald green glass and golden edging. The floral decorations have a slight Elf style, but they also reveal the unique simplicity and neatness of the Mage Alliance, which is not complicated.
"Master Hedra, we've arrived."
A few minutes later, Sylutia got out of the car. The sun was strong today, so she specially prepared a sunhat with the same style as her dress. Her entourage surrounded her and entered the station hall.
The busy station is full of people, and there are many people who come to Mishir District for fun and business. Even if there are about forty people following Sylutia, it is not too conspicuous. The staff here have long been used to it.
Those who came to greet them were several members of the local Mage Tower. They were informed that a new deputy would be "coming to take over the previously vacated position today."
"Isn't it here yet? It should be this train."
"Let me take a look. According to the information passed on, the person we are going to receive this time is named Hedra. He looks about 16-17 years old and has long black hair. He looks very cute. Gee, what kind of adjective is this? Shouldn't he be an expert in the field of machinery to be the deputy of Master Segna? It doesn't match up at all." A member looked at the printed notice in his hand.
"Who knows, maybe it's for gold plating. I heard it's from the Mithril Clock faction. Even if it doesn't meet the requirements at all, Master Segna still has to give him some face."
"This is the strength of the first school, I'm really envious."
"Okay, look carefully. Don't miss anyone to pick up. That would be embarrassing."
Several people were watching in the lobby, searching for each member who got off the car. Although Sylutia had appeared in their field of vision, they almost subconsciously ignored the girl.
After all, what Sylutia is wearing today does not look like she is here to work, but like she is on vacation. She is wearing a sun hat and a loose dress with a white background and light green floral decorations. It is extremely breathable. The lower side of the skirt is decorated with a circle of golden tassel ropes. Knot, this structure prevents the light and transparent dress from completely flying in the summer wind, playing the dual role of embellishment and counterweight. And because the center of gravity is on the outer edge of the skirt, turning the body slightly can make the skirt Rotation rise to form a perfect circle.
When the girl approached a few people, their attention had to be diverted and they began to look carefully.
"Hello, are you the ones who are here to pick me up?" The girl's beautiful voice gave off an indescribable kindness and softness. After listening to it, several people were stunned for a few seconds before they realized what she said.
"Well, we are picking up someone, but it shouldn't be you." One of them said subconsciously. When his attention turned to the long black hair under the girl's sunhat, he thought of something.
"Wait a moment, are you Ms. Hedra?"
"That's right, it's me." Sylutia nodded slightly, bowed her skirt elegantly, and then raised her head. Then her delicate white fingers lightly pressed the collar, revealing a flawless smile that made people sink, just like a dream.
Several people were stunned for the third time, and only came to their senses after a few seconds, and answered in surprise.
"Ah, sorry, sorry, we are here to pick you up. This way, Miss Hedra."
Sylutia nodded, and then led the group of people behind him to follow them towards the exit of the station.
On the way Sylutia thought about what he had done just now. In fact, he did not mean to tease these people, it was just a whim, recalling the various etiquette and details he was taught when he was a child.
Because of her previous amnesia, she had not practiced or used many of the contents for a long time. This time it was rare for her to dress up and go out. According to the etiquette requirements she was taught as a child, she had to maintain a perfect ladylike posture under such circumstances.
The Mezzalance family is one of the four major ducal families in the dynasty. It is famous for its elegant etiquette, touching poetry, and perfect art. Although it does not have strong physical power in the dynasty, its reputation and influence are huge. It can be said that it is the vane of various popular trends in the dynasty. When she was a child, she was exposed to many of them.
After a group of people walked out of the station, the people leading the way suddenly thought of something, that is, they had originally estimated that the other party would come alone, so they only prepared one Steam Locomotive, but now there was a large group of people behind the girl, and that one car was completely insufficient.
Seeing a few people stop, Sylutia stood on the steps and glanced below, guessing something.
"Is there not enough cars?"
"Uh, that's right, Miss Hedra, we didn't know the specific number of people before, so we weren't prepared."
After listening, Sylutia looked at the street opposite, and then spoke.
"Don't worry, let's go sit in the cafe opposite first, and then you can prepare the car." After saying that, she raised her hand, and two members dressed as attendants came to her side and bent down to listen.
"Ask the staff and find a few more cars, and we'll set off together when the time comes."
"Yes, Miss." Then they withdrew, and then found a few members to accompany the receptionist to the side.
At this time, among the people who received Hedra, there were still two people left, who followed Sylutia to sit in the cafe across the street from the station.
After entering the coffee shop, Sylutia found an empty table by the window. Behind her, Cheris dressed as a maid helped her open the table, wiped it slightly, and then gently held Sylutia's wrist and sat down.
Perhaps because they were shocked by Xilu Tia's natural temperament, the two receptionists opposite felt nervous while drinking coffee for the first time, fearing that they were not doing well enough and would slack off the young lady.
The girl seems to be sitting down relaxedly, but if you observe carefully, you will find that there is always an optimal distance between her waist, upper body, and the back of the chair. She speaks and smiles easily and casually, but her various unconscious movements are always just right, without any overstepping or immodest moments. It is as if she knows innately what kind of posture and manner are the most perfect and moving, without any blind spots.
The two people, shocked by this temperament, couldn't help but answer Sylutia's various questions. They had no intention of thinking about the purpose of these questions and whether it was appropriate to answer them all, because at this time, their heads were almost empty.
"Thank you for helping me answer so many questions." After understanding the general situation of Mishir District, Sylutia slightly bent over to thank him. This move flattered the two of them and they quickly stopped him.
"No, no, this is what we should do, Miss Hedra." The two of them felt honored when they said this.
Seeing this, Sylutia responded with a smile, making the two of them stunned for a long time.
When she was a child, she never liked these etiquette things because she was shy and afraid of strangers, but it has to be said that members of the Mezzalance family have innate advantages in these things. Even if she has never used them, she has mastered them without knowing it because she has seen them more.
Alas, I always feel that this is a bit bad, saying something to the other party without them knowing it. Maybe this is why she was reluctant to learn these skills when she was a child.
Fortunately, her mother Xuelin never forced her, she just touched her lovingly and said it was okay not to learn.
Although she had her mother's permission, Sylutia still tried hard to memorize a lot of knowledge. After all, she didn't want to be embarrassed on important occasions. This was probably the motivation for her to study hard at that time.
In contrast to her is Elysia. The dynasty princess likes grand ostentation very much, and feels that she should match these and do everything perfectly, so she specially studied etiquette from her mother Xuelin.
As the head of the contemporary Mezzalance family, Aster Witch and Xuelin are also famous in the dynasty. They are recognized as the most perfect noble women of their generation. When they were young, it was said that there were probably tens of thousands of young talents pursuing Xuelin in the imperial capital. This was calculated by excluding minor nobles and commoners whose status was completely insufficient.
Although I don't know much about my mother's deeds when she was young, Sylutia feels from many fragmentary discussions that Xuelin may have unconsciously charmed many people back then. As a result, after the news of her marriage and childbirth spread, many people could not bear the blow.
When she was a child, when she attended a banquet with her mother, many people saw her with complicated expressions, looking like they wanted to bless but were miserable. She had seen such a scene many times.
My thoughts turned to the present. When Xilu Tia was chatting with the two receptionists, the staff outside had already prepared the car.
Afterwards, the group took a bus to the Mage Tower in Mishir District.
According to what I learned from the chat just now, in addition to her, there are several deputies in the Mage tower. They are Paste and Vijel from "Sculpting School", Orichalcum School"'s Delunsu, Fire Spirit School"'s Mias, and finally including her, there are five people in total.
It seems that there are many competitors, Sylutia thought to himself.
These people are all within Fifth Order's strength, and are no more than forty years old. Within the Mage Alliance, they are definitely considered young and promising, with a bright future, otherwise they would not have caught the eye of Master Segna.
Although there are many master-level figures in the Alliance, there are not many who can go as far as Master Segna. If Master Segna is still several dozen years younger, it is also possible for Impact Seventh Order to be a sage.
While Xilu Tia was thinking, Steam Locomotive arrived at the Mage tower area in the center of Mishir District, where there stood a tall tower and three tall and low towers. There are different auxiliary towers. Surrounding these tall towers are Mage Guild buildings. In the open space and square in the middle, you can see clerks carrying documents walking back and forth from time to time, as well as members wearing formal Mage robes coming and going.
As the residence of the Mage Guild, local Mage will discuss topics here, trade resources, potions, creations, issue tasks, find partners, etc. Around the streets of the Mage Guild, there are many shops related to Mage, selling various things that Mage needs.
The streets here are clean and tidy, with laurel trees planted along the way. There is also a clear fountain in the Mage Guild square. The water mist sprayed dispels some of the heat and keeps the temperature here from being too high.
Sylutia stepped out of the car, surrounded by all the members, and stepped into the door of the Mage Guild. Many members watched curiously and guessed her identity.
"Who is this? So many people are following you."
"Maybe she is a lady from a big family. There are several families in the Alliance that are very powerful, especially those that have produced sages." Everyone discussed in a low voice.
After entering Mage Guild, Sylutia first went to the side hall to sit down, and then someone went to notify Master Segna.
At this time, Master Segna, who was busy debugging and researching the power furnace in the workshop, was a little impatient.
"Tell her to come see me."
"Wait a minute, forget it." He put down the tools in his hands and picked up a towel to wipe them.
The old man with a white beard stood up, and the assistant beside him quickly helped him wipe his sweat. Then he went to the lounge and changed into a set of crisp black clothes, and then led others to the side hall.
Sylutia, who was sitting on the sofa sipping tea, heard the footsteps, put down the cup gently, and stood up.
Master Segna was originally a little irritable, but after seeing this girl, he calmed down.
"You are Hedra, right."
"Yes, Master Segna." Sylutia bowed and saluted gracefully.
"Master Ge Zhen wrote to me specifically, recommending you to me and praising you a lot." He walked to the sofa opposite Sylutia, sat down relaxedly, and leaned on the back of the sofa.
"Although I believe his vision is not bad, I have been disappointed for a long time, and it is difficult to have any expectations for someone now." He asked Sylutia to sit down without being so polite.
"Even though I built the industrial system of Mishir District by myself, I am also involved in several large chambers of commerce and workshops that produce Steam Locomotive here. It can be said that I can change many things as long as I want."
"However, such influence will quickly dissipate as I retire and leave."
"As a subject that I have studied for most of my life, I don't want it to be lost, but it is always so difficult to find a suitable successor." Master Segna briefly described the situation.
"Someone must have given you some popular science on this before you came here, so I'll make a long story short. If you want to get my approval, then do it step by step." After saying that, he waved his hand and an assistant stepped forward.
"Take out a copy of the information I prepared earlier and give it to Miss Hedra."
"Yes, Master." The assistant nodded, and then took out three special Memory Gem from the tool bag he carried.
"There is a lot of information here that I compiled in the past. It contains detailed records of my research experience and skills. You can read it first. It is best to read it within a month. Then I will give you a task."
After speaking, the master asked the assistant to place the small box containing three gems on the coffee table in front of Sylutia.
"Don't ask me any questions in the meantime. I don't have time to explain it to you one by one. If you really don't understand something, you can ask the other deputies. They came earlier than you and learned it step by step."
"But you are competitors. Whether you can let them give you answers depends on your own abilities."
"As for your residence and future affairs, what I have arranged for you here is your mansion on the west side of the Mage Guild. It is very wide. As for affairs, there are three main affairs in Mage tower, namely maintenance. Hold the communication "Monitoring Magic Creature" Patrol Arrangement. These three items have been arranged. There is nothing left for you, but I ask you to do nothing. It seems that I am targeting you. Maybe some old friends will say that I am not serious about recommending candidates."
"So, the affairs I have arranged for you are with the Mage Guild, who is responsible for assessment and grading. You have worked at the Inspection Department before, so you should be very good at this."
"That's all I have to explain. See you in a month. I hope you will have a good grasp of what I have given you by then."
After saying this, he stood up and returned to the experimental workshop again to explore the latest research topics. He did not look like an old man who was about to retire.
