Above the sky, rolling white clouds reflected a faint golden color under the sun. The clouds were surging, and occasionally through the thin clouds, one could see the vague mountains and rivers below.

In the sky thousands of meters high, dragon boats with yellow gardenia and red sails are flying slowly. Although they do not look fast from a distance, they are actually moving at high speed in the sky. The wind is so strong that the turbulent water at the stern leaves long cloud trails.

Loran Hill stood at the bow facing the wind, her green hair and crimson headband fluttering in the wind. She didn't look messy, but rather had a kind of elegant beauty. There were also a few people standing behind her. Although no one spoke, the joy in their eyes seemed impossible to hide.

The girl at the bow looked at the vast and boundless sea of ​​clouds below. Her gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the clouds and reach the rolling mountains and the earth below.

"The next one is Tianfeng Pass." Loran Hill's voice broke the silence and came in the howling wind.

"Yes, Your Highness. However, there are not many guards left at Tianfeng Pass, and the few remaining dragon riders have also left."

After the new emperor and the second king passed away or disappeared one after another, the power of the dynasty's royal family also scattered. Some retired from the world, some integrated into other organizations, and some became small forces, looking for a way out in this chaotic world.

"Then who is in charge now?" Loran Hill asked again.

"That's unclear. Because the new emperor was defeated by the Northern Army so suddenly, the continents in the heart of the Central Plains lost their allegiance almost overnight. Afterwards, only the local herdsmen struggled to maintain some order, and it was very unstable."

"Then the Northern Army took over a portion of the troops and took the rest to continue the eastern expedition against King Huainan. Not many personnel remained, and coupled with the fact that Kunlun Yuting had recently ordered the Northern Army to disband and retreat, the remaining Northern Army was also confused."

"Zhuo Muye died in battle at Biyi Pass. Although he killed many members of Kunlun Yuting, the combined strength of the twelve families was too formidable, and they were unable to change the status quo. The Northern Palace Army was subsequently defeated, and only a few men escaped."

"Zhuo Muye, ah..." Loran Hill has often heard this name this year, and sometimes his mood is quite complicated.

She admired this loyal general, but the person he was loyal to was not very good. However, Loran Hill would not blame him. After all, this was the environment in the Eastern Continent. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this was the person who deserved the most respect and admiration.

This is the traditional idea: to learn skills, serve the king, handle world affairs, win reputation before and after death, and obtain wealth and glory.

This idea was not wrong in the past, but it is somewhat inappropriate now.

Loran Hill will not deliberately belittle the past, but it will not use it to educate and domesticate. It can exist in dramas and games, but it is not suitable to appear in textbooks to require the next generation to follow.

We should look forward. If we keep reminiscing about the past, we will become a nagging and unpleasant old woman. The girl shook her head, trying to free her thoughts from the sadness of the past.

I am still a little sentimental. As a sensitive and changeable person, this may be a shortcoming. Katie is much simpler. She seems to rarely think about these troubles. Occasionally, Luo Lanxier reads her diary and writes, "Today Luo Lan made me some cookies. They are delicious. I am so happy." "In the afternoon, Luo Lan took me to bask in the sun. It was so comfortable to sleep under a tree." "After waking up, I saw Luo Lan reading a book next to me. She told me a story. I was happy."

That kind of pure joy and happiness overflows between the lines, sometimes making Loran Hill wonder if it is Ketti who is truly wise and smart, always able to catch the little sparkles in life and let them warm herself.

As for Vimiya, she has a completely different personality. As a singer, she has seen all kinds of people, fanatical, admiring, aloof, cold, etc., and her voice is also extremely changeable. It can be cold, gentle, lively, and angry at times, perfectly adapting to various needs. Sometimes Loran Hill would be confused about which one is real. When asked this question, Vimiya answered like this.

"Actually, each one is real. Real people are so complex, with different images and emotions. It's just hard for people to accept because it's too difficult to remember such a complex person, so simplified labels are needed."

"Many of the people who come to listen to my songs are very enthusiastic, sometimes even scary, but I know that not all of them are like this all the time. Depression, restraint, and anxiety torture many people. Many people listen to my songs just to find comfort and relaxation."

"So, even if everyone's performance is not very graceful, or even loses control of their emotions sometimes, I won't blame them. If my singing can bring a moment of relaxation and warmth to everyone in their difficult lives, then I will be very happy."

As the successor of Sifnerian, or her reincarnation, Vimiya's singing is like the slowly approaching tide, drowning the listeners, and then gradually immersing them in the distant world of the song. In such an environment and mood, they experience a completely different life and experience, which makes people's hearts sway. Only when the song ends do they break away from the world submerged in the tide. It feels as if they are in another world, but also very refreshing.

To use another metaphor, Loran Hill is the best listener. Her natural ability and sensitivity allow her to perceive the most subtle changes in things or emotions. Sifnerian is the best singer and can infect everyone with her emotions and thoughts. Brainard is the best writer. She naturally rejects subjective and emotional things and only records the most cold and objective facts. As for Kloyati, she may be the best guardian and destroyer. In fact, there is not much difference between the two in essence. Both are manifestations of power. The only difference is whether she still has something to protect. If not, she will be like a world snake gnawing at itself, and finally destroy herself.
