After the girl finished praying, she felt a wave of drowsiness coming over her, and she leaned against the tree trunk and fell asleep. When she woke up again, three days had passed. The sky had returned to its original state, and there was no sign of any abnormality. Naturally, she had no idea of ​​the major events that had occurred a few days ago.

How long have I slept? Fortunately, no wild beasts came over.

The girl jumped down from the tree, feeling a little scared. Then she returned to the cottage in the maple forest, took a shower, ate something, and then went back to sleep.

Life returned to a brief period of peace.

Loran Hill has started to think about food storage these days. The wheat fields she opened up in the maple forest are growing well. She doesn't know the exact yield, so she planted a little more to prevent it from being insufficient in the future.

Then she continued to plant more fruit trees, enough for her to eat.

New crops have also produced results, namely the improvement of cotton.

[Full Moon Cotton - Special] (Excellent Silver): Improved from Moonlight Cotton, it grows in an area with abundant moonlight and natural magic. It can be harvested to make Moonlight Cloth.

This moon cotton plant was originally in a corner of the maple forest, but unfortunately its location was not good before and most of the moonlight was blocked by the shade of the trees. After this improvement, Loran Hill specially transplanted it to the open space in the middle of the woods so that it can receive sufficient moonlight.

Moonlight Cloth (Silver Grade) – This fabric, historically known as "Moonlight Cloth," was favored by many nobles within the Mercury Dynasty's upper echelons. Originally moon-white, it could be dyed in other colors. It was exceptionally comfortable to wear, resistant to dust, water, and oil, and did not hinder the perception and absorption of mana or magical energy. Therefore, it was a luxury item in short supply.

After being improved by Loran Hill, its quality has been raised to a higher level, but this is not the end. Her real goal is to use this cotton to weave [Twilight Cloth] (Pearl Grade).

Harvested pure moon cotton is spun into yarn, then soaked in the juice of three-leaf purple heart grass and dyed a pale purple. At dusk, the silk thread is removed from the dye and placed in the afterglow of the setting sun. Using special techniques, the mana in the dye, mixed with the magic of the setting sun, is then completely absorbed into the thread.

Finally, the sun-dried silk threads are preserved and woven into twilight cloth according to the recorded weaving techniques. This is the most crucial step. With each weaving motion, tiny mana magic circles are formed through the structure of the silk threads. Eventually, thousands of these tiny magic circles connect with each other, forming a true twilight light.

[Twilight Cloth] (Rare Pearl Grade): It has a great affinity for Mana and other magical powers, and is extremely helpful for the absorption and recovery of magical powers. It also has excellent toughness and a certain degree of self-repair ability, which is of great help whether in combat or cultivation.

Since building the cabin in the maple forest, Loran Hill has been making his own furniture for quite a long time.

The basic wooden beds, cabinets, tables, chairs, and boxes were all made from trees in the maple forest. She didn't cut down the trees directly, but instead cut off some of the thicker branches. Fortunately, these maple trees had grown for a long time and were very tall, blocking out the sun. Even the branches were more than enough for furniture.

According to the system's evaluation, these [red maple woods] are basically rare silver grade, and the quality is very good.

After that, he searched the Tisilan Forest again, but only found pottery clay, no suitable porcelain clay, so the bowls, plates, pots, spoons, jars, etc. in the house were all pottery.

In fact, the pottery is also very good. With her sensitive ability to distinguish, the girl removed all the impurities in the clay, then mixed it with water, kneaded it very finely, and then placed it on a small rotating wooden plate and started to work.

At first, because I wasn't familiar with the process, the shapes I made were a little strange, but later on, they got better. Actually, there's a great sense of accomplishment in personally shaping a piece of clay into a beautifully shaped pot.

The shaped embryo is then baked with the heat of fire and finally sintered. Holding it in your hands will give you a sense of accomplishment.

Because it is made by yourself, there will be a special sense of satisfaction and love.

The clay bowls and pots in the cabin are a warm ochre color, and Loran Hill puts them in the cabinet when not in use.

She then tried to make a primitive small oven out of clay to bake bread.

But there are still some things missing in life, such as salt.

The Tixilan Mountains are located in the south-central part of the continent, far from the sea. Sea salt is basically out of the question, and there are no natural saltwater lakes nearby. Therefore, the most direct way is to find a nearby village and exchange with others.

This was the problem. According to Pullman's description, the border of the West Wind Kingdom was only 150 to 200 kilometers west. At the girl's speed, this wasn't far at all.

But for some reason, she didn't want to interact directly with outsiders right now. As a veteran farming player, she had always believed in keeping a low profile, developing steadily, and then winning by overwhelming force.

Her current strength is not that strong, and she is also aware that her current appearance will cause a lot of trouble if it is made public.

There is no strong means of self-defense...

No, it seemed like there really was one. She touched the butterfly hairpin on the side of her bangs.

[Trinassa's Butterfly Hairpin] (Quality 482, Rare Epic): Before her death, the witch Trinassa placed her unique magical power on this hairpin. It can be worn and used. (Usage times 3/3)

A very rare treasure, with blue crystal inlaid on chrome gold. It has an exquisite shape and is lifelike. If used at full power, it is equivalent to a full-strength attack from a Sequence 9.

But I can't bear to use them. Whether it's Dark Souls or Sekiro, there are always some players who won't use consumable items until they've finished the game. The same goes for grapes. Roland Hill is the kind of person who likes to save the best for last.

Besides, it feels imperfect when a good 3/3 becomes 2/3, and my slight obsessive-compulsive disorder always makes me want to restore it to full size.

So, after hesitating for a long time, Loran Hill decided to go to other places within the Tixilan Mountains first and not contact the humans of the West Wind Kingdom for the time being. After all, this is a magical fantasy world, and perhaps there will be some new discoveries.
