After meeting Xing Liu, at Palinsa's suggestion, they went to Hongzhen Palace for a short rest.
Turning the heavy copper lock, the light golden door slowly opened, and an elegant courtyard appeared before the eyes again.
There are not many buildings in Hongzhen Palace. A path paved with white flagstones winds through the lawn. There are a few apple trees growing on the hillside beside it, surrounded by a simple wrought iron fence.
It is now mid-May. The apple trees are filled with small, green fruits, hidden among the surrounding green branches and leaves, giving people a refreshing feeling when looking at them.
After entering this secluded and quiet courtyard, Palinsa led the three of them towards a small hill not far away. In the middle of the hill, there was a small blue house, most of which was hidden by the surrounding trees. The tiles reflected a faint golden light under the fragmented sunlight.
Because Palinsa said she wanted to clean the house, the three of them did not go directly into the house. Instead, they sat under a big tree on the hillside, where there was a stone table and stone chairs.
His hand gently brushed across the light gray tabletop, dust and fallen leaves drifted down in the wind, and then Loran Hill sat on the slightly cold stone chair.
"It's quite quiet here." After sitting on the stone bench, Ye Ling looked up and looked around, with some curiosity in his eyes.
"I thought the royal palace would be something magnificent, like a palace covered in carvings and murals, or majestic and ornate buildings."
"Most of it is true, but this place is a bit special." The girl thought about other places in the palace and it was indeed similar to what Ye Ling said.
"Because the previous owner was a princess who was in poor health." Loran Hill recalled the story of Princess Lanisa, but unfortunately it happened more than a hundred years ago.
"But I like it here because it's quieter and there are fewer people, which makes people relax."
After briefly talking about the origins of Hongzhe Palace, they gradually started talking about Xing Liu's experiences.
"Where did Xingliu-senpai go after graduation?"
"At that time, my teacher thought I was quite capable, so he gave me some commissions to help deal with some difficult monsters."
"So I spent the better part of six months traveling back and forth between the two sides of the Sigh Mountains, occasionally returning to school for a break."
"Hey, has Senior Xing Liu ever come back? I didn't even know." Ye Ling said something he knew nothing about.
"Because I didn't stay there for long and was afraid of trouble at the time, not many people knew about it." Xing Liu shook her head. The trouble she was talking about was naturally the group of fanatical suitors in the Tower Academy.
"Later, I fought Palin several times. He's not much weaker than me, and the number of wins and losses was roughly even."
"Then we sailed south. That's the southernmost part of the south. It's still hot there when it snows on the mainland."
"Further south, further south, there are fewer and fewer islands and fewer and fewer people, until we reach the Sea of White Ice. There is a broken continent, dotted with narrow and scattered oceans, and there are many icebergs in it."
"Why go there?"
"Because the Sages have discovered a ruin there, but the place is too far and remote, so they need manpower to excavate it."
"After Palin and I arrived there, we transformed into giant dragons with six Dragon Sequence 8 seniors, melted the iceberg, broke the seal within, and unearthed the relics left over from a bygone era." Xing Liu leaned back on a stone chair, resting his hands on the sides of his face, recalling the past.
"At first I thought it would be a surprise, but due to changes in the world, I had to start over, which delayed me for several years. When I later dug it up, I found it had been destroyed. It seemed someone had arrived here over a hundred years before us."
"I was disappointed, but there was no other solution, so I and some of the staff started to return."
"And when I returned to the Western Continent, the war between Crancia and the Empire had already begun."
"So I joined the war again and had a big fight with the big red dragon of the Pascal family."
"Miss Xingliu was very brave at that time." Just as they were talking, Palinsa came back.
"Sorry to bother you. The house is now cleaned up." She bowed slightly and then continued to add to Xing Liu's story from the past.
"At that time, the Pascal family wanted to send the Red Dragon Legion to raid Solander and burn the city to strike at Clancy. It was Miss Xingliu who stepped forward and held off the numerous Red Dragons, buying enough time for reinforcements to arrive and resolve the crisis in Solander."
"It's actually nothing." Xing Liu shook her head. From her expression, she wasn't being modest, but rather genuinely believed that it was just a small matter.
Although she looked like a young girl, Miss Black Dragon was truly a formidable warrior. She had been battling powerful beings for years, and injuries were commonplace. Fortunately, the Dragon Sequence's powerful self-healing abilities prevented her from sustaining any scars.
"After all, I am from this land, and I can't just stand by and watch others mess things up here." She expressed her simple thoughts.
"I came to see His Highness Loranhill this time because I'm curious and I want to bring a message to the Sages. The Sages invite you to meet them in Emenas, probably in August of this year."
"Sages' Society..." Loran Hill pondered the meaning behind the name. Although she was known as the Sage of Clancy, she wasn't actually a member of the Sages' Society and didn't know much about it. She only knew that the organization was dedicated to uniting all races to resist the scourge of Chaos.
From this point of view, the other party was on the same side as her. However, the events of Oz hundreds of years ago also cast a shadow on her heart, and she was a little confused.
