Getting on the return train, Sylutia watched the world outside the window retreat rapidly. The train passed through numerous tall buildings and buildings and drove out of Tethys District.
After returning to Mishir District, Xilu Tia first dealt with various documents and affairs that had accumulated for almost a month, and then went to various major workshops in the main city area to visit, inspect the situation, and coordinate to solve some problems.
After doing this, the time has come to January.
Considering that spring plowing will be carried out soon, and this is also the last two years before Season of Sinking Fog can have a good harvest, Sylutia has made a lot of preparations for this, first of all, to transport fertilizers from the north, and secondly, to recruit horticulturists with generous remuneration to help with farming.
"Although the notice has been posted, the number of landscapers in the Mage Alliance has never been large, and now there is competition in various places. It is estimated that it will be difficult to recruit sufficient manpower." Cheris reported the recent situation to Sylutia.
"I know." Sylutia thought as he looked at the map hanging in front of him.
"Is there a place or faction where gardeners gather in the Alliance?" She thought for a while and asked.
"I haven't heard of this." Cheris recalled it and shook his head.
"Perhaps it has happened before, but in the Mage Alliance, becoming Mage is obviously more promising. After hundreds of years, even the gardener faction has gradually declined."
Farming is not profitable. Although Sylutia himself has gained a lot as a gardener, for most ordinary gardeners, it is difficult for them to cultivate extremely high-quality crops at a low level like Sylutia. It also requires a lot of time and energy to take care of. Life is a bit hard, not as comfortable and high-income as Mage. Naturally, few people are willing to take this path.
"Is that so----" A place name suddenly popped into Sylutia's mind, and he asked.
"Kingdom of Wind Chimes, have you heard of it?" She thought of Lady Falan's hometown.
"Wind chimes----"Cheris can't remember.
Sylutia pulled out the huge topographic map of the Mage Alliance from the side, then searched with his eyes, and finally found a small line of writing in a small corner.
"Bellflower Plains"
Today's Bellflower Plains" is no longer a separate small country, but has been annexed by the neighboring Perika District and belongs to its subordinate land. The original lords and rulers of Kingdom of Wind Chimes have lost their noble status, but Mage Alliance has compensated them with a lot of assets. Many of the original nobles have moved to the main city of Perica District and become rich people and big families in it.
Perika District"The current economic level ranks the Alliance 52, belonging to the upper-middle area, where life is relatively prosperous and stable. There are lakes and vast plains in the area, good natural resource conditions, and abundant grain production.
However, Perika District" is located in the northern zone of the Alliance. Affected by the cold wave in the past two years, grain production has also decreased somewhat, but the accumulation was originally relatively deep, so the situation is not too bad.
I don't know if Lady Falan is currently in Bellflower Plains. Sylutia recalled the letter the teacher left to herself before she left. It said that she would return to her hometown "Bellflower Plains", but did not mention where she would go after that.
Later, she went to the Dark Mist Mountains and then to the Mage Alliance. She had lost contact with that teacher for a long time.
Want to go look for it? But I don't have much time, so I can't leave Mishir District for too long.
"Cheris, I'm going on a long trip." Sylutia looked at the maid and assistant beside him.
"Where are you going?"
Cheris has become accustomed to this. I have to say that the position is very training. The girl who was a little shy at the beginning has now become confident, generous and independent.
"I'm going to Perika District" to see if we can cooperate with the local manor owner or local manager to obtain part of the food reserve." She told Cheris.
"Okay, I will notify the supervisors of Mishir District and the workshop representatives." Cheris leaned over and agreed.
"Do you need to bring some people with you when you go there?"
"Let me think about it, we really need some manpower." After all, we still need to investigate the local industry and market. If we negotiate cooperation, we will also need a lot of people to draw up contracts, sort out financial and terms, etc.
Afterwards, Xilu Tia and Cheris discussed for a while, drafted the list of accompanying persons, and then started notification and preparation.
Three days later, Sylutia led a group of people on a train to the distant Perika District. It is said that there are many pelicans living in the lake there, and it is also called Cormorant District".
"We've arrived at the station, Master Hedra."
The train slowly pulled into the station, and Sylutia and other members slowly got off the train. Today she was wearing a black and blue ruffled dress, which looked like a summer outfit.
Stepping on the gray bricks, Sylutia looked up and saw that the station here looked like a tall Hall. The stone pillars were square and the dome was very high and empty. The bright light from the entrance of the station shone in. After a little adaptation, you could see the boundless flat wilderness outside.
If it is the first time for a child to step out of the mountains and see such a scenery, he will definitely be surprised, because the land is extremely flat, and there is not a single mound or hilltop in sight. It stretches for hundreds of kilometers to the end of the sky.
After admiring the scenery outside from a distance, Sylutia walked towards the small exit on the side of the station, where local officials and Mage were already waiting.
"Welcome, Lord Hedra." The leading official took off his hat and saluted, and then a group of people came over.
If she followed the etiquette of the aristocracy, Sylutia would probably reach out her hand for the other party to kiss her hands at this time. However, since she was not married yet, she could not abide by this convention and just nod her head to express her approval.
Different from usual, the black and blue dress worn by Sylutia this time did not have a waistband, only white ruffles decorated the chest shawl, skirt and cuffs. The style was comfortable and ladylike.
"Hello." Sylutia began to answer, and then briefly exchanged a few words with the other party to express his intention.
"I came here this time, firstly, to see if there is any chance of cooperation, and secondly, I heard that the scenery in Bellflower Plains is very good, so I would like to go out for a walk." She generously admitted that she wanted to relax for a while, and did not want to spend the entire trip discussing government affairs seriously.
"I see, this is our honor, haha, let me introduce the local scenery to Mr. Hedra." The reception official was also very happy. After all, this girl did not look arrogant, nor was she the kind of troublesome person who deliberately made things difficult and made people guess her thoughts.
Then the group got in the car and arrived at a local mansion that was hosting distinguished guests. After settling here, the group sat in the pavilion of the mansion and talked about more relaxed topics, and then there was the banquet in the evening.
Perika District's guard Mage and a group of high-ranking officials attended and received the young girl who had risen to fame.
Since winning the individual championship in the Silver Bell Festival Academy competition, Hedra's name has become known to more people. Even in Perika District, there are many people who admire and admire her.
"Ah, is this Miss Hedra? She's so cute."
"She looks so young, is she 20 years old?"
"He's about the same age as me, but he's already the Mage president of the same region."
"I can't fault my appearance. It would be great if I could pursue her."
"It is said that she is now a new generation leader favored and favored by many masters of the Mithril Clock school. She is expected to be a big shot in the upper echelons of the Alliance in the future."
"Those eyes look like Magic Power, making people unable to look away."
At the banquet, although limited by her status, not many people could get close to Sylutia to talk, but all kinds of whispered conversations were caught by her keen hearing. Occasionally, Sylutia could only shake her head helplessly and ignore these words.
Local officials and Mage welcomed her arrival, especially Mage, the governor here, enthusiastically recommended his own manor by the lake and temporarily lent the manor to Sylutia so that she could vacation there for a while.
"Then thank you, Master Nandes." Sylutia thought about it and agreed.
Afterwards, the two exchanged some academic questions. Originally, the other party was a little doubtful that Sylutia had achieved such an achievement at such a young age. However, after this exchange, the guard Mage also admired the girl's insights, dispelling his previous doubts and convinced that this girl was a truly rare genius.
"If Miss Hedra doesn't mind the trouble, my daughter is currently free and can serve as Miss Hedra's tour guide to guide you." Nandes Mage suggested.
"Of course I don't mind." Thinking that having a local guide would save a lot of time and trouble, Sylutia didn't refuse.
Seeing Sylutia agree, Nandes showed a cheerful smile, took out a glass of red wine from the waiter's plate and drank it.
"I wish Ms. Hedra a good time."
