In Clansia, an unknown small mountain village.
Jenna sat on a high wooden ladder, using the scissors in her hand to cut ripe apples one by one, and dropped them onto the cushion below. Then a young girl took them out and placed them in a fruit basket beside her.
"There's another one over there, Jenna." Sophie pointed in a direction below.
"Okay." Jenna turned her head, pushed aside the branches and leaves, looking for the light yellow apples hidden among them.
After a brief recovery of two days, Jenna was able to get out of bed and walk around. Although one arm was not healed yet, the other arm could do many things.
She didn't want to be idle, and she also wanted to do something to repay the Lake Chamber of Commerce for its help, so Sophie and she helped the villagers pick apples. The caravan couldn't stay too long, otherwise the fruit would spoil before it was shipped out, so the picking team was quite limited.
After the caravan discussed with the villagers, they helped the villagers pick the fruits to offset part of the purchase price. This is how this scene came about.
In sunny and bright weather, the apple leaves are dense and slightly upturned, and the cross-section is like a V. Among the dark green leaves are conspicuous yellow fruits. The branches with more fruits are even bent down by the weight.
Jenna held the iron scissors, reached into the dense branches and leaves, cut off the fruit stalks, let them fall one by one, and then were put away by Sophie.
After picking an area, she would come down, and then the two of them would work together to move the wooden ladder and continue picking in another place.
As the sun gradually rose higher, the weather gradually became hotter. While cutting the fruit stems and picking them, she would wipe the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.
Another fruit tree has been picked, Sophie said below.
"Take a break, it's almost time for lunch."
"Um."
Jenna nodded, lowered her aching arms, and looked at the basket full of yellow apples under the shade of the tree. A faint sense of satisfaction rose in her heart. A breeze blew in from afar, washing away some of her sweat and bringing her a slight coolness.
She slowly climbed down the ladder. Sophie came forward, supported her slightly, and helped her brush off the dust on her body.
"Are you tired?" asked the light brown and sunny girl.
"fine."
Jenna sensed it and although her arms were a little sore, with the blessing of the war sequence, her physical fitness was much better than that of ordinary people. With the help of magic, she didn't feel very uncomfortable.
"That's great! If it were me, I wouldn't be able to lift my hands after picking for an hour." Sophie said a little enviously.
"Want to learn? I can teach you." Jenna said with a smile. She has become more cheerful in the past two days.
"Well, it will take a lot of time. It will delay you."
"If it's some basic stuff, it won't take long." Jenna shook her head.
"Thank you then." Sophie said happily.
"Haha, no need to thank me. I should thank you instead."
The two girls rested under the apple tree, talking to each other about things that interested them. Occasionally, cheerful laughter could be heard, dissipating in the breeze over the green grass.

The courtyard where Loran Hill lived in Nidshire.
"Sage, shall we fly today?"
In the morning, just as Loran Hill woke up from his sleep, Mira pushed the door open excitedly. Since they got to know each other better these days, the bunny-eared girl has become less and less of an outsider.
"Mira, do you like flying airships?" The silver-haired girl sat up from the comfortable bed and rubbed her eyes.
"I like it very much, because I can see many scenery that I have never seen before. I like the feeling of walking in the wind very much." Mira walked to Loran Hill's bed with small steps, looking at her expectantly.
"Okay, okay, let's eat something before we go. It's just in time to finish drawing the map today."
During this time, the two of them drove the airship, Mira was at the controls, and Loran Hill was drawing a map of Ned County on the side.
Maps are very useful. They are very necessary for development, construction, and military. After recreating the airship, one day Loran Hill came up with the idea of drawing a map.
Now the painting is almost finished, but Mira gradually likes the feeling of flying at high altitude. He originally wanted to scare her, but this caught Loran Hill off guard.
But it must be said that Mira is indeed talented in this area. Those long rabbit ears not only enhance her sense of space and help her control balance with ease, but also allow her to keenly sense the direction of the breeze, allowing her to avoid and utilize high-altitude air currents.
He's truly a natural born airship pilot.
After figuring out the reason, Loran Hill couldn't help but sigh.
After finishing a simple oatmeal breakfast, the two boarded the slightly fat carp airship again. As the suspension device was activated, the airship wobbled into the air, and then moved under the action of the sails and oars.
Under the clear blue sky, Loran Hill sat in the cabin in a white dress, overlooking the vast world below. Her silver hair fluttered in the air and the sound of the wind whistled in her ears.
She took a silver stylus pen and briskly sketched on the gridded white paper. Mountains, roads, rivers, and villages appeared one by one. Her white fingers touched the paper, making it even whiter than the paper itself.
When people on earth see this orange airship, some will stop and wave to it to express their admiration and surprise.
A river flows quietly among the mountains, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds like a smooth mirror.
The airship that Loran Hill and Mira were riding in turned over several peaks and valleys, overlooking the scenery below.
"There seemed to be a crowd gathering there."
Mira pointed with one hand at a place below. There was a valley there, which looked like the entrance to a mine. Many people were gathered there, and some of them were riding horses and rushing over from the distant mountain road.
"Let's go down." Loran Hill seemed to have heard something.
"OK."
Mira nodded and gradually reduced the magic power input into the levitation device. Under her control, the airship slowly landed on the open space beside it.
The two men opened the side door at the bottom and walked towards where the crowd gathered. A burst of discussion was heard.
"What should we do? The monsters underground have collapsed the mine, and many people are still down there."
"Wait a minute, the association's alchemist is coming soon, and they say they'll be bringing a few golems with them."
"Alas, the local alchemists are all half-baked and of average strength. Those crude golems would probably have difficulty entering these deep underground tunnels."
"We finally found a rich mine, but we didn't expect problems to arise again soon."
Mira led the way, and the girl followed behind. A mounted officer saw Loran Hill in a white dress and quickly asked his men to make way for her.
"Your Highness, you are here." He dismounted from his horse and saluted.
"Yes, let me take a look at the situation." The girl nodded, a faint light flashed in her eyes, and her keen perception spread down along the mine.
