After arriving at the temporarily rented manor by Nandeli, Xilu Tia and her entourage settled down.
Soon, in the afternoon of the same day, Nandeli's daughter came to visit.
"Ah, so it's you?" After seeing Xilu Tia, the eldest lady in a rococo style dress looked so surprised that she didn't even bother to say honorifics. After Xilu Tia heard this, After looking at the other person's appearance for a while, she also remembered a face she had met before. It was the young lady she met when she was buying gifts for the Griffin family not long after arriving at Mishir District.
"Sorry, Master Hedra, I am Brie." The other party finally realized something, grabbed the skirt on both sides with his fingers, lowered his head shyly and saluted.
"It's okay, but I didn't expect you to be the daughter of Mr. Nandeli." She was a little surprised. After all, Mishir District is quite far away from here. "Well, this is because Perika District doesn't have anything fashionable. I usually go to other places to look around and meet some pen pals by the way." The other party explained a little embarrassedly.
Xilu Tia blinked and felt that this young lady had quite a personality, but this was not the time to chat in detail.
She first asked the other party to bring a few maids in, and then asked the accompanying attendants to bring tea for them. After that, the two of them came to sit in the wooden house by the lakeside of the manor. Here they could enjoy the vast lake scenery, not afraid of wind and rain, and occasionally sit on the wooden platform by the lake to fish.
Brie is very familiar with this place. She said that she often came here to play during holidays when she was a child. The small stool in the wooden house was specially made for her by her father.
"It seems that Mr. Nandeli loves you very much." Xilu Tia praised with a smile.
"My father loves me very much, but he also controls me very strictly, especially limiting my pocket money." Brie complained. As the only daughter of Nandeli Mage, she has been very doted on since she was a child, and her family also has a lot of expectations for her. She has been taught various knowledge and skills since she was a child, and strives to cultivate her into a local socialite.
"I did learn a lot, but it was also very depressing, so I always wanted to go out and play and didn't like staying at home." Brie said about his feelings.
"When I read various stories in the past, I really wanted to know where the countries and places described in them were. When I grew up, I would always go there and visit when I got permission to travel. I would also write down my thoughts and feelings and show them to my friends and sisters. I received a lot of praise." When talking about the things she was proud of, the eldest lady gradually became more talkative.
In addition to traveling around, Brie also likes to follow fashion trends. Probably because Perika District is often said to be in the countryside, she has to visit Mage Alliance prosperous areas to buy clothes and decorations in order to satisfy this anxiety and not be afraid of being laughed at by her sisters. After going back and forth, she has an understanding of the current fashion trends and prices in the Alliance places, then The next time she saw Xilu Tia buying a large amount of clothes and accessories in the store, the reason why she smiled was because she felt that the styles bought by the black-haired girl were too outdated, just like those girls from the countryside. However, when she saw Xilu Tia spending money lavishly at that time, compared with her own poor pocket money, the feeling of superiority that arose quickly dissipated. Under the superposition of multiple emotions, she did not want to deal with this black-haired girl at that time.
Of course, these complex emotions were not directly spoken by Brie, but gradually experienced by Xilu Tia during the conversation with the other party.
"So that's it. No wonder you looked weird after seeing what I bought." Xilu Tia smiled, not caring about Brie's sense of superiority at the time.
When she bought those things, she did think that the styles might be outdated, but this was only for the Mage Alliance. The coast of Meteor Lake was still far away from the hinterland of the Mage Alliance. The outdated styles here might have just become popular there.
And taking into account the differences in aesthetics in different places, Mage Alliance's popular things may not be popular there, so Xilu Tia chooses more popular styles, which is what Brie calls "local". After all, it is classic Popular models have often been popular for a long time. After talking about the first meeting, the topic gradually became more relaxed. Brie was no longer nervous at the beginning, and he also took the initiative to introduce Perika District's situation and scenery to Xilu Tia.
"The most famous thing here is naturally the big lake in front of us, which is called "Blue Eyes" by the locals. There are many water birds in the lake, and the most famous one is the Jipeng."
"Oh, why is E Peng the most famous?" Xilu Tia asked curiously.
"Of course it's because they are big and attract attention immediately. Other water birds are smaller and ordinary people are too lazy to subdivide them, so no one talks about them." Brie said the reason.
"So that's it." Xilu Tia was quite interesting.
"Also, the phoenixes here are indeed quite special. Out of about a thousand of them, there will be one or two that can only gather the Aspect Power rank and can live for a long time. Some rich people like them and will find someone to catch such big phoenixes and keep them in their own ponds for viewing."
"When I was a child, I was a guest at an uncle's house, and I saw it. The bird was about the same size as a cow. It could carry me around the lake and occasionally catch a few fresh fish as the main course for the guests." Brie talked about what he saw when he was a child.
To be able to make friends with Nandeli Mage, this uncle must be no ordinary person, Xilu Tia thought to herself.
After talking about lakes, water birds, and climate, the topic finally turned to Bellflower Plains.
"Bellflower Plains? I haven't been there many times. The only thing I remember is the local scones. They add a small amount of thyme to give it a unique flavor."
"Oh, how are the people living there? Are they rich and healthy?"
"It seems okay. Although Perika District is not rich, but because of the fertile water and grass, the output of food and livestock is relatively high, there is rarely the kind of famine and tragedy in other areas." Brie thought for a while and answered.
"However, Bellflower Plains used to be ruled by a small country. It is said that the nobles there were relatively stingy. They would charge relatively heavy taxes to passing caravans and control the bargaining power of various outputs in the region. As a result, most of the income went to the nobles, while the living conditions of ordinary farmers and herdsmen were average..""How should I put it, it's a bit deceptive and unpopular, but it doesn't mean that it drives people to a dead end. The local residents are used to it and don't think it's anything special. It's just that I have been to many places and can have a clear sense of contrast and difference." Brie explained.
"Brie observed very carefully." Xilu Tia praised.
Although Brie has average talent on the road of Mage and has not inherited Nandeli Mage has such talents and abilities, but has a free and easy personality, has been to many places, has a wide range of knowledge, and has good observation skills. Even if he cannot become a high-level Mage in the future, he should be able to live a good life. After receiving the compliment from this black-haired genius girl, Brie said nothing, but the joy and pride on her face almost made her raise her tail.
After all, the girl in front of her is a genius and a big shot who is well-known throughout the Alliance. If she can be praised by the other party, Brie can be proud in the circle of sisters for a lifetime.
She decided that she would write what happened today, especially this sentence, in her diary and autobiography, and she would take it out and read it whenever she was in a bad mood.
After learning a lot about the local situation from Brie, Xilu Tia also gained some basic knowledge and finally made a suggestion.
"I'm going to visit Bellflower Plains tomorrow. I heard that Bellflower there is very beautiful. I wonder if Brie is available?"
"Of course, let me be your guide!" Brie agreed without hesitation, extremely happy.
Seeing her looking so excited, Xilutiya was a little funny, but after thinking about it carefully, he also understood the source of her excitement.
It seemed that entertaining herself had become something worth showing off, and she gradually realized her status in the Mage Alliance. Before she knew it, she had become a household name in the Alliance.
