In October, Mishir District and Wavy-Leaf Golden Osmanthus are in full bloom, with little golden flowers decorating the green branches and leaves, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.
The light-colored shoes stepped on the petals falling on the ground. Sylutia was walking on the street in a snow-blue dress, followed by Cheris.
She walked very slowly, her eyes occasionally stopping at the shops and scenery on the street, and occasionally chatting with Cheris about her first visit to Mishir District.
"Unknowingly, four years have passed." Sylutia's voice sighed.
"The person who will take over the duty of guarding Mage will be here next week. Then I will set off to the Woodland and come back here again. I don't know how many years it will be." She raised her hand to catch the golden osmanthus flowers falling in the wind.
The small and fine petals fell into the palm of her hand, and then the girl held it close to the tip of her nose and sniffed, and the light and sweet floral fragrance was introduced to her senses.
Then Sylutia loosened his fingers and allowed the breeze to carry the small petals in his hands through his fingers and scatter them into the wind again.
"Cheris." She called out the name of the maid behind her.
"My lord."
"No need to be so formal, Cheris." Sylutia shook his head slightly, then turned his head and looked at the maid and deputy behind him.
"Do you really want to go to the Woodland with me? It's very far there. It may be difficult to come back in the future."
"Yes." The other party nodded again, perhaps understanding the young master's worries, so she had no choice but to continue explaining.
"For me, it doesn't matter where I go. Originally, I had no family in the Mage Alliance." Cheris talked about his family situation for the first time.
This reminded Sylutia of the scene when they first met many years ago. At that time, she was still working at the Finance Department, and Cheris came to find her with a team.
"My family members died in a vicious incident. They were originally senior officials of the government. They were later silenced by the big shots because they were involved in a certain power-money transaction. Only I was studying abroad at the time, so I survived." Cheris told in a calm voice.
"This matter was only exposed when the senior official was dismissed. The person who was responsible for assisting in reviewing the case and sorting out the flow of property was Warren, who also knew me at that time."
No wonder Warren would say "I haven't seen you for three years" at that time. In this case, Sylutia thought of the Finance Department's supervisor.
"The reason why I joined Inspection Department was very simple. I just wanted to avenge my parents, and I finally got what I wanted." Cheris replied.
No wonder she can serve as the captain at such a young age and is much more decisive and tougher than other members. Sylutia also understands this.
"Actually, when I first met Mr. Hedra, I didn't like it because your appearance and temperament were too weak at that time. You didn't look like someone who worked in the Inspection Department, but you looked more like the kind of person who comes to get gold plating to get credit for your achievements."
"Uh, this----" Sylutia touched the hair on the side of his ear with some embarrassment.
It seems that what Cheris said is absolutely right. When Commander Academy placed her in that position, he actually had this in mind.
"However, your performance gradually convinced everyone that you are indeed qualified to lead us."
Huh? Sylutia couldn't remember when this happened. She always felt that her job as Inspection Department was a bit half-empty, but her status was relatively high, and the constraints that interfered with the review in the past were completely ineffective for her. She could easily break through the protective umbrella and power aura of some officials, which showed that she had good results.
The two of them walked down the street, reminiscing about old times while walking, and time passed by unknowingly.
Three weeks later, Mishir District's affairs were initially settled.
Before leaving, Sylutia and the successor guard Mage Novaton sat in the restaurant and talked.
"I didn't expect that you would be the one to take over this position in the end." Sylutia looked at Novaton curiously.
"Ah haha, indeed, I was quite surprised when I received the appointment." Novaton smiled.
The two worked together on Ninth Train, supported North Wind Defense Line, and collaborated several times along the way, so they have a pretty good relationship.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that you are indeed a very suitable candidate." Sylutia thought sideways.
Novaton is from the "Sun Furnace" school of thought and is good at large-scale mechanical projects. She has seen a lot when working together before, and the other party is an old acquaintance, so the handover will be smooth. It is probably because the upper management noticed this and let him come over.
"What are your plans for the future?" Sylutia asked curiously.
"Of course we will carry forward the advantages left by Mr. Hedra, expand the car manufacturing industry, and then also delve into cutting-edge and advanced power systems." Novaton thought for a while and then answered.
"The current Mishir District car manufacturing industry has reached a bottleneck in terms of expansion of appearance and functionality. It is time to start iterating power furnaces and energy systems, and this is exactly what our school is good at." Novaton explained.
"That's true." Sylutia did not refute.
"Actually, it's not just me, many members of the school have received similar missions to speed up the research and development of power energy systems." Novaton answered.
"There should be some particularly huge demand." Novaton expressed his guess.
After the two talked, another week passed. Sylutia took a small number of entourage and luggage, formally bid farewell to Mishir District, and returned to the Thetis Academy.
Here, she explained a lot of things and then went to Asura District.
This time, she brought together the members of Red Pig", Four Fingers" and Meteor Chamber of Commerce" who had previously assisted.
"Unknowingly, eight years have passed."
She looked at the people at the scene. Among them were Orc and humans. Most of them came from humble backgrounds. Now they have found their place in the system or chamber of commerce established by Sylutia. They may not be very prosperous, but they can still live a stable life and have a good income. They don't have to be as nervous as in the past to participate in various crossfires and battles.
Hearing the girl's words, everyone present was filled with emotion. The former second-level apprentice girl has become a big shot in the Mage Alliance just eight years later. They occasionally go out to do business, and they heard that the person behind the chamber of commerce is Hedra. Many of the Mage guards and senior officials will give them some goodwill and help, so they won't be too embarrassed.
This may seem like a small thing, but I don't know how much trouble it saves. You must know that each chamber of commerce or organization has local connections. If you jump into many business industries rashly, you will be squeezed out by regional forces unless you cooperate with them and hand over most of the profits.
Now Sylutia is going to the Woodland. This matter has been decided. Even they have heard about it and are quite reluctant to part with it.
I don't know if the current chamber of commerce can continue to operate after this girl leaves. Even if they are in a good position now, after all, Mage Alliance is Mage who is leading everything. Without the protection of high-level Mage, many businesses and commercial operations are not so stable.
"Remember I once promised that if you can complete what I ask, I will give you a grand banquet to celebrate." Her eyes slowly swept across the audience, and the familiar faces were printed in her mind.
"Now, I'm here to fulfill this promise."
After finishing speaking, the girl raised her wrist and reached towards Seven-Gradient Flower Hairpin behind her head. Then a burst of light flashed, and the originally empty round table was filled with delicious food.
The raw materials include deep sea fish from Meteor Lake", supreme honey from Harp Flower Union", and finally Tri-color Grape produced by her own Autumn Garden".
Feast Ritual", apart from the ancient Flesh Feast", the other type is Honey Fragrant Fruit Feast" from the Golden Honey Dynasty period. Its holding requires Insect Moth·Emerald Nectar·Spiral Fish" three Aspect Power ingredients of the same level to start.
This time, Sylutia specially purchased Harp Flower Union's Fengti Golden Honey (Fifth Order·Excellence), as well as Meteor Lake's Sword-Kissed Whitefish" (Fifth Order·Excellence), which cost nearly 100,000 gold coins, and then paired it with various Fifth Order fruits produced by themselves, and finally asked the members of Feast School" to complete this feast.
The grand finale of the feast is Honey-Roasted Whitefish Feast" (Sixth Order·Excellence), which is made from three kinds of Fifth Order ingredients, followed by three main dishes.
Sweet-and-Sour Fried Fish"(Fifth Order·Rare)
Fruit-Scented Giant Whitefish"(Fifth Order·Rare)
Grape Honey Cake"(Fifth Order·Perfect)
Then there are twelve kinds of side dishes, each of which is of fourth-level quality, each with "Blood Currant Platter"
Blue-Patterned Sea Clam Meal"
Butterfly Pastry Snow Apple Slices"
"Fiery Red Shrimp"
Jasmine Rice Cake"
Honey Chicken Leg"
Roasted Giant Blue Squid"Spider Eyeball Cake"
"Fire Persimmon Pie"
Scallion-Braised Sea Cucumber Golden Silkworm Chrysalis Compared with Fire Pig's "fourth-level" feast, this time not only the main course reached the highest level Sixth Order, but even the twelve accompanying side dishes were all of fourth-level quality, each worth nearly a thousand gold coins.
Such a feast is probably something that the members present would never dare to dream of in their lifetimes, but today they saw it with their own eyes and could smell the various aromas. Even those who are not keen on gourmet food felt so excited at this moment that it is difficult to express in words.
"Okay, let's start enjoying." At this time, there is no need to talk too much nonsense, Sylutia starts Feast Ritual directly.
According to the ancient ritual process, after the main dishes are gathered for the feast, a burst of music sounds, then a faint light emerges from the dining table, and then the light and shadow outlines of various delicacies interweave, and then the invisible ritual atmosphere expands and spreads to everyone present.
