In mid-December, Scholar Heide's classes were suspended. This was certainly not an accident, but the winter vacation was coming.
"Every year during the coldest winter, in order to prevent accidents when students travel, the school will have a holiday." Comia told Tia, and then they had another dinner together before the holiday.
Rising Wind Season Winter has finally arrived, but it's not as cold as imagined.
Sylutia sat in front of the dressing mirror, looked at himself with black hair in the mirror, then pulled up his hood and walked out of the room.
Today she is wearing a dark gray coat and leather boots. While keeping warm, she also retains a bit of girlish cuteness.
Picking up the two Swan Orchid plants, Sylutia got on the carriage in front of the mansion, and then drove to the Adventurers Guild in the city.
More than ten minutes later, the carriage stopped, and she walked down with a Swan Orchid potted plant in her arms. She looked at the still bustling guild gate and walked in.
The temperature today is about 10°C. Although it is not very cold, the windows in the hall are still closed a lot to keep it warm as much as possible, so the smell inside is messy and cannot be said to be refreshing.
Bypassing the center of the hall where there is a lot of traffic, Sylutia approached the front desk from the side, and then found a staff member.
"Excuse me, is sister Mailin here?" She pulled down her mask a little, revealing her slightly childish cheeks.
"Yes, but we will be resting at the back. Do you want to find her?" Seeing that she was a cute girl, the staff member answered easily.
"Yes, I asked sister Mailin for help before, so I want to thank her this time." Sylutia is now considered a beginner gardener and has some free time.
"Ah, it turns out she is Mailin's descendant. I'll go call her." This staff member thought the girl was a distant relative of Mailin.
Soon, Mailin followed the employee out. Because it was not yet time for her to go to work, she was wearing a dark brown dress and a thick coat.
"It turns out to be Tia." She was a little curious that this girl appeared in front of her again.
"Sister Mailin." The girl stepped forward to say hello and then explained her purpose.
"Is it going so well?" Mailin was a little surprised. She originally thought that it would take at least half a year for this girl to achieve some results and become a more proficient Gardening Apprentice. As for becoming a student of Lady Falan, she did not have high hopes. After all, she had seen too many failures.
"Maybe I have better luck." As he said that, Sylutia handed the potted plant in his hand to Mailin.
"This is the Swan Orchid I planted. It was a seed given to me by my sister Mailin as a gift to my sister Mailin." Although this plant has not condensed completely into "Emerald Nectar" Aspect Power, it is not far away. It exudes a light fragrance and dispels the odor in the air.
"This is..." Mailin took it and looked at it carefully. Although she was not Transcendent, she also noticed that this Swan Orchid was extraordinary.
"This is... Swan Orchid in very good condition." She estimated the value in her mind. If she sold it to those ladies, she could probably exchange it for more than 30 silver, which was her salary for the past half year.
"Well, I have planted a lot of Swan Orchid, and this is one of them." In fact, before the holiday, Sylutia had already given a pot of Scholar Heide, and several other close classmates also gave a pot each.
"It's a pity that I don't know how to take care of it. I don't know if it can survive with normal watering." Mailin looked at the Swan Orchid in his hand.
"Just water it normally. If sister Mailin finds it troublesome, you can transfer it to someone else." Even if it is sold, it will be a good income for Mailin.
"If that's the case, then I'll accept it."
Not long after, the news that Mailin received the flower spread in the Adventurers Guild, and it began to transform.
"I heard it was given to her by a junior."
"Really? To send such expensive flowers, I think it's on behalf of an embarrassed brother or elder."
"Mailin is not married yet, indeed."
"Why can't it be that girl who likes Mailin? How can you be so prejudiced?"
"Ahem, don't spread such words, you will be beaten by Mailin."
"However, that potted flower is indeed very strange. When placed in the room, the air will naturally become purer."
"That being said, the value must be quite high. I don't know if I bought it from the Gardener Guild or if I grew it myself."
"Don't mention Gardener Guild from Scorched Stone City. Their level is only at the bottom. You have to go to Valley City to find a real gardener."
After sending Sylutia away from the Adventurers Guild, Mailin told her many things before coming back. At this moment, she heard all kinds of discussions among her colleagues.
"These guys know gossip every day." She thought about it and decided to teach the leaders a lesson to prevent them from spreading rumors.
After leaving Adventurers Guild, Sylutia brought the remaining pot of Swan Orchid to Winnie's home.
"Tia is here." As soon as she knocked on the door, the other party opened the door to greet her.
Walking in, Sylutia found that Talia was also there. No wonder Winnie knew that he was coming.
"Talia came here this morning and asked me to prepare delicious food for you." Winnie welcomed Sylutia with a smile and asked her to sit down.
After a while, she brought the hot tea over, and Talia also came over and asked her sister Winnie for the same tea.
"When I came here, my sister wouldn't bathe me. She was biased~"
"You come here almost every day and you still need me to make tea for you?" Winnie knocked this naughty sister.
The three of them exchanged brief greetings and then sat down.
"So, Tia currently lives with Lady Falan, and his life has stabilized."
Thinking back to three months ago, Winnie, a young girl who had just come here who was unfamiliar with the place and was a bit cautious, felt a little emotional.
"Now that Tia has been promoted, "First Order·Emerald Nectar" do you want to pursue the path of a gardener?"
"Yes, but some time ago I told my wife that I wanted to go to Secret Forest, and my wife agreed." Sylutia mentioned her future goals.
"Secret Forest..." Winnie fell into memories.
"Actually, back then, I also participated in the Secret Forest quota competition. Of course, I was just accompanying the runners." What she said immediately aroused the curiosity of the two people.
"How was the process? Sister, you haven't told me before." Talia couldn't sit still.
"The process, because I have only experienced part of it, is not exhaustive." Winnie shook his head.
"The next time will be around January or February next year, when someone will come to Scorched Stone City. At this time, Viscount Xuefeng and Scholar Heide will submit the list."
"The other party will review the information on the list and then allow these students to participate in the initial selection on site."
"The selection process usually sets three goals. The first goal can be achieved by about one-third of the students, the second goal can be achieved by about one-tenth of the students, and the last goal may not be achieved by anyone."
"If no one completes all the goals, then candidates will be selected from the remaining students who have completed the second goal. At this time, Viscount Xuefeng and Scholar Heide can select the suitable candidates in their minds and then get the quota."
"The first goal I faced at that time was to find a Red-Thorn Bee hive from a forest and bring it back."
"Red-Thorn Bee, isn't that a poisonous and highly aggressive wasp?" Talia remembered something.
"Yes, just finding it requires a certain amount of luck, and you also have to risk being attacked by Red-Thorn Bee to bring it back, so only five people completed it."
"I was carrying "Red Snow Powder" that I made myself, which is a kind of burning powder similar to gunpowder, which helped me subdue most of the Red-Thorn Bee in the hive." Winnie drank a small sip of hot water and recalled.
"However, during the process of obtaining the hive, I was stung. Due to the poisoning, I fainted after barely returning to the station. Teacher Heide helped me detoxify, and I gradually woke up."
"The second goal is to kill the "First Order beast" entrenched in the forest alone. Only two students completed this task, and they also paid a high price."
"As for the third goal, there is Gale Vulture's nest on the high cliff at the end of the forest. If you want to complete the goal, you must obtain a Gale Vulture egg."
"Gale Vulture, Talia, you should know, those are the "Blazing Sun" Aspect Power ferocious birds that appeared during the Rising Wind Season heat wave. They were often not just one, but appeared in multiples. They were extremely ferocious and even more dangerous than "Crimson-Dyed Wolf"."
"The appearance of these fierce birds symbolizes the hottest and most difficult season of Rising Wind Season, so they are also called "Vulture Festival"."
