Chapter 739 'Topaz Lycoris'

The southern star region of Arosa, the Gradually Purple Star Region.

The red leaves scattered across the mountains swayed slightly in the warm summer breeze, and the rolling leaves made a soothing sound.

Under the shade of the tree, Tilan, wearing a classical dress with a gradient of white and red, sat on the green rock among the fallen leaves. Her snow-colored cloth shoes stepped on the dry dead leaves, showing a bit of slenderness of her feet, just like the red plum and white snow that fell into the mortal world, unstained by dust.

The girl's eyes looked at the dead branches around her ankles, and she could glimpse a few ants and small insects crawling by, living their free lives. Occasionally, the girl would curiously use her fingers to push away the dead leaves, look at the soil and specific insects underneath, and watch them move slowly with interest.

If you want to describe Tilan's mood at the moment, it's probably like the breeze on the sea of ​​trees, quiet and smart.

Sometimes people grow up unconsciously. She doesn't know when she gradually let go of the heavy burdens, obsessions, cautions, and shadows of the past, like a room with open windows, welcoming the summer breeze that blows through. Only occasionally, under the fluttering curtains, you can see faded photos scattered on the ground, recording the moments of the past.

There is nothing particularly entangled, no hysterical obsession, it seems that everything can be put down, and it seems that everything can be picked up. Even a cup of ordinary cold water can feel the comfortable taste of the slightly cool throat.

You can try anything you are interested in with curiosity, and you will turn around and let it go without any scruples, without insisting on any results. All kinds of clothes that you used to feel shy and troublesome, now you will try them with interest.

Facing such a her, even Themisia feels that she is almost perfect.

"It's like a flower that has never been hurt or suppressed, and it is free to stretch its buds and branches, slowly blooming, as if it has known everything and has a natural agility."

Facing Tilan in such a state, Themisia's past accumulated competitive spirit also disappeared, just like facing the empty blue sky and white clouds, unable to use any power.

"I always feel that there are not many singers in history who can reach your current state." Themisia commented. "

Yeah."

There was no modesty or shyness, nor did she refute the doubts, but just a plain answer. Then the girl's attention shifted to the small flying insect flying by her feet, watching it flap its small wings to find food in the messy soil.

Tilan herself didn't know what level of singer she was now, anyway, she had never felt hard, even when she raised the crown a few years ago.

The shadows of the trees in the forest slowly rotated around the sun, from the refreshing morning to the bright noon, and then to the afternoon when the breeze was gradually cooling.

The girl first sat in the woods and watched the tiny lives around her. Later, she stepped lightly on the dead leaves and walked along the hillside between the trees. Occasionally, she jumped lightly from one stone to another, naturally and normally.

In this way, she stopped until the sun set in the west and the sunset was like fire. She stood halfway up the mountain and watched the burning sunset.

Before it got dark, a woman who was slightly taller than Tilan came and stood beside her. The two watched the sunset completely fall together, and then left hand in hand.

In the new year, Tilan no longer continued to manage the huge affairs of the "Emerald Dragon", but handed it over to the members of the team that had already run maturely. After being freed, she was invited by "Luoyunsha" Masha to come to the Jianxun star field for vacation and play. Occasionally, the two took a walk together and talked about what they saw and interesting in life.

In this year, the situation in the Federation was stable, and all parties did not make any major moves. They just continued to make progress in the direction planned before. The central star field of the Federation invested in the construction of many new space stations, and used them to explore new resources and minerals, study planets with special environments, and test new space propulsion technologies.

The dragon vein system in the southern star region has begun to operate, especially the 'Emerald Skirt', which is the first planet to complete the dragon vein system in the first batch of plans. With the help of the dragon vein system, the ecological environment of the Emerald Skirt has entered a rapid recovery stage. It is expected that in another 5 years, it will be able to fully recover to the vibrant state 400 years ago.

The economy of the western star region has also developed well. After more than 8 years of catching up, the living standards of residents in the western star region are gradually on par with those of the northern star region. It is no longer at the bottom, but it will take about 8 years to catch up with the southern star region. If you want to become a place as developed as the central star region, you need a new opportunity.

The three major factions in the eastern star region now organize economic development and cultural promotion and construction. Although there are occasional cracks, in general, there is no violent conflict and they can still maintain superficial peace and friendship.

In addition to a few planets and star regions in the northern star region, most of the regions are still the same as they were ten years ago. They have no special ambitions, and other star regions in the Federation do not have much idea about them because they are far away.

————

Time slowly came to the year 1269 of the Sixth Era.

Western Star Region, Hemu Star Region, Rose Palace.

"Your Majesty Blanche." The maid in a long golden gauze dress hurried to the room where Blanche rested, then bowed respectfully and waited.

"What's the matter?" Soon, Blanche walked out slowly, her long flowing golden hair simply tied behind her back, and she was wearing a white nightgown with gold embroidery.

"We found a child with special talent in the Qiguyan Star Region. She, she should have the talent of a singer." At the end, the maid's voice was excited. "

Drip—

a slight breaking sound sounded in front of the maid, making her look up and see some golden fragments falling, then turning into fine sand and dissipating.

"Your Majesty..." She asked with some concern.

"Nothing, just my mood fluctuates."

Blanche pressed her chest with her slender fingers. The nail part was embedded in the flesh, causing a little pain, which made her consciousness slightly clear, and she tried her best to stabilize her emotions.

"I know, take her... No, I'll pick her up."

Two days later, a luxurious fleet arrived in the Qiguyan Star Region, and then the shuttle team carrying Blanche landed on the planet.

"This is it, Her Majesty Blanche." The local officials greeted the singer and her guards with great respect and awe, and took them to a camp at the foot of a valley.

The biggest feature of the habitable planet of 'Qiyan-α' is its unique landform. Due to the active geothermal and volcanic activities, there are many high-temperature fountains on the planet, which heat the groundwater to steam and spray it out. This provides the local area with a lot of cheap steam energy, which can be used to generate electricity. However, the power of this energy is not high, and because of the crustal activity, the environment is unstable. Large companies will not arrange expensive production lines on this planet, which has led to poverty here for a time, and can only survive on cheap and simple industrial products.

"In addition, our tourism industry is still considerable." After entering the camp, the accompanying official continued to introduce.

Blanche nodded slightly, and then waved for the accompanying secretary to come forward.

"Strive for three more development projects for the Qiguyan star region, and provide additional investment assistance in the next 20 years." She understood the part that the official wanted to ask for but did not dare to say.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Then the secretary wrote down the details.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The officials of this star region present bowed together to thank him, their voices excited.

Perhaps for Blanche, this was just a matter of words, but for this star region, for tens of millions of residents on this planet, it was a major event that completely changed their fate.

"Is the child okay now?" Blanche had already sensed the vague soul consciousness, and her mood gradually calmed down.

"After we checked her, we took her over and carefully took care of her according to the instructions." After all, there were very few singing girls in the western star region, and they were afraid of problems, so they simply protected her on the spot and did not move her randomly.

"Very good." Blanche nodded slightly. Now everyone has walked to the door of the innermost room.

"You stop here, I will go in alone." After she finished speaking, the accompanying personnel began to guard and protect on the spot, and then Blanche slowly opened the door.

The room here is simple and clean. The floor and walls are covered with a soft soundproof blanket. There is a light yellow and warm light above the head. Below is a small bed, a table and chair, a TV for watching movies and animations, and a lot of books scattered around.

A girl in a light yellow skirt is sitting on a chair with her back to the door, flipping through the picture album on her knees. When she heard the voice, she turned her head with a little curiosity.

She has flaxen hair similar to Blanche but different, light blue eyes with a little curiosity, and a baby fat face.

"What's your name?" Blanche slowly approached and asked in a voice as gentle as possible.

Today she was wearing an elegant golden rose dress, with beautiful patterns sewn with gold thread on the cuffs and hem. A few golden lines appeared on her fair wrists, which reflected the golden mark on her forehead like the sun, making Blanche have a kind of extraordinary and sacred temperament.

"My name is Arosa." She said her name with a slight tongue curling sound.

After that, the girl stood up with some fear and restraint, looking down, not daring to look at Blanche.

Blanche had indeed acted very gentle, but as a Brilliant Sun-level singer, her huge spiritual consciousness was like a substance. Ordinary people might just feel in awe, but in the eyes of this little girl who also had the talent of a singer, it was as dazzling and hot as the burning sun.

"Arosa, what a good name." Blanche bent down, gently stroked the other person with one hand, and then carefully held the other person in her arms.

After a while of silence, Blanche took Arosa's hand, and then the two came to the bed and sat down to ask about her situation.

"My family lives in a big cave at the foot of the mountain. It's warm there, not cold in winter, and there's a very comfortable breeze in summer."

"How is your daily life? Do your family members laugh often?" Blanche lovingly helped her tidy up her clothes and hair.

"Home, home, I don't know, but my sister often takes me out to play, and we often laugh~" Arosa should have had a not-so-bad childhood.

"How old is your sister?"

"My sister is 15 this year, and I'm 9, but in another month, I'll be 10." Arosa said with a childish and proud voice.

"Soon." Blanche opened her eyes slightly, feeling an indescribable relief.

In the history of the Rose Federation, there are no more than 5 people who awakened their singing talent at the age of 9. If the other party was a little later, she might not have seen it.

Afterwards, Blanche learned about the various details of Arosa's life in detail. Although the child's focus was very fragmented, Blanche also gradually pieced together the other party's growth environment from these fragments.

It seems that Arosa's family is not rich. Her parents usually have heavy work to do and pay little attention to their two children. Fortunately, the big cave where they live has a stable population. They are all acquaintances who have been in contact with each other for decades. Even if her parents do not have the energy to take care of them, the surrounding neighbors and the families on the street will help to take care of them.

Since she was a child, Arosa has followed her sister and played with a group of children in the big cave. Occasionally there will be conflicts, but overall she has not encountered any bullying. After all

, the elders of the surrounding families are watching and will come to stop if there is a problem. Most of the people living here work in a nearby rock mining company, mining the local bright yellow marble for them to make floor furniture, etc., because some wealthy families prefer this kind of original stone and do not like various high-tech synthetic panels.

The treatment given by the local rock mining company is medium to low, making it difficult for the residents here to be rich, but they will not fall into poverty. It just happens that if someone in the family suffers from a serious illness, they may have to borrow money from relatives and friends around to solve it.

While listening to Arosa's story, Blanche also talked about her life when she was studying in the Hemu Star Region.

"Sister Blanche, is there really such a tall and big house?" Arosa gestured to describe it.

"Yes, it is very tall." Blanche smiled slightly.

"Standing on it, you can see the scenery very far away." Her eyes blinked slightly, and seemed a little wet.

"Sister Blanche, why are you crying? Don't cry. Sister said that children who cry a lot will not grow up."

"Well, sister didn't cry, but my eyes are a little uncomfortable." Blanche wiped them lightly with the back of her fingers.

"Arosa, do you want to go out and see those tall buildings and houses, and all kinds of delicious fruits and cakes?"

"Yes, but my father said that if you want to go out, you have to study hard, but studying is very tiring, and I am not very good at studying." She lowered her head with a little inferiority.

Seeing the appearance of this child, Blanche couldn't help shedding a few hot tears.

Why is she so similar to herself? Obviously, many singers are extremely smart, but she has always had ordinary grades. Whether in junior high school, high school, or after becoming a singer and entering university, she can only envy and watch the powerful classmates move forward.

Because of her average talent, she has always been stumbling and chasing after others, not daring to speak loudly or express herself. The only time she made an impulsive decision, she almost fell into the abyss, causing countless people to sacrifice for her.

This guilt was like a whip that kept urging her, and finally turned into a strong sense of responsibility, making her do everything she could to support the entire Western Star Region.

Trembling and taking a deep breath, Blanche suppressed her urge to choke and tried to calm herself down.

Then she took Arosa's hand and slowly picked her up.

"Let's go, sister will take you to see the outside world. Don't worry about things at home, they will be with you."

"Do you know, this planet is called Qiyan, because there are many boiling steam vents on the ground, and there are many different planets in the outside world, where there are completely different environments. For example, in my hometown, there are beautiful and large fields of rice seedlings and wheat fields. I used to like playing in the wheat fields with everyone during holidays..." Blanche took her out of the room slowly.

...

"By the way, I can't always call you Arosa in the future. How about sister giving you a name?" Blanche took the girl and walked in front of everyone.

"Okay."

"I'll call you... 'Topaz Lycoris'."

"It is said that the ancient East also called Lycoris radiata 'Manjushaka', and it likes warm and humid places, and the yellow Lycoris flowers mean 'hope and rebirth'."

Everyone, go to bed early~
