Two weeks later.
A long caravan was walking on the mountain road, followed by several carriages carrying passengers.
A thick blue batik cloth covered the carriage, blocking the scorching sun outside. The breeze from the road blew the curtains, bringing gusts of air and blowing away the heat inside the carriage.
Since this road is an official road, it is safe. In the several carriages following the caravan ahead, there are many travelers heading to distant places.
The wheels rolled on the gravel ground, bumping slightly. Several passengers in the carriage leaned back in their chairs, some with their eyes closed, some looking at the scenery outside the window boredly, and some chatting in low voices.
Loran Hill, sitting in the corner with her face veiled, looked at the people in the carriage, then lowered her head and leaned against the board beside her, ready to take a nap.
"Have you heard that there are monsters eating people in the Black Water Lake recently?" An aunt in her 40s opposite said again, and several passengers around asked curiously.
"Isn't that the headquarters of the Red Immortal Sect?"
"Who says it's not? But it's said that the Red Immortal Sect embarrassed themselves this time and didn't suppress it immediately. Later, they asked the experts from the Goose Flying Sect to come and sneak into the swamp to kill the giant crab."
"It seems that the Red Immortal Sect is getting weaker with each generation, and the lineage of the former Red Snake Fairy is gradually declining."
"That's normal, after all, so many years have passed, even the grace of a gentleman has been exhausted."
....
Everyone was talking about the past of the Seven Continents of Lei, expressing a lot of emotion, and at this time the carriage slowly turned around a high hill as it moved forward.
Everything in sight turned fiery red, and the leaves on the mountain turned yellow and red, making rustling sounds in the warm summer breeze.
"We've arrived at Yanyu Island." someone said in the carriage.
"It's getting hot again, worthy of being the Flame Ray Continent."
Loran Hill looked out the window and saw the red and yellow leaves all over the mountains, so lush and lush that they spread all over the mountains and stretched and undulated towards the distant horizon.
"Flame Ray Continent..." She recalled the introduction in the book when Emenas was in school.
"In ancient times, two hundred miles west of Lei Ze, a fish appeared. It had white scales and bird-like wings, a red tail and long whiskers, and its body was covered with gray spots. Wherever it went, it was a sign of a good harvest." - "The Chronicles of the Five Phoenix Kingdoms, Chiyu, Youchao Kingdom, Yanyu"
It is said that a long time ago, there was a giant fish in this mountain and river. Its name was the Fire Ray. It hid in the abyss in winter and flew in summer. Wherever it went, the forest turned red, which was a sign of a good harvest.
Although thousands of years have passed and the legendary fire ray has long since vanished, its story lives on, and within Fire Ray Island, shrines and temples still stand, dedicated to this mythical fish. Local residents value the color red, favoring long-sleeved feathered robes that dance like red-winged fish.
Two days later, the carriage that had been traveling on the mountain road for several days finally stopped, and Loran Hill walked out of the inn.
It was afternoon, the sky was blue and cloudless, and the ground was glowing white under the sunlight.
She raised one hand to slightly block the sunlight from the sky, and then walked on the tree-lined street.
The sunlight shines through the sparse red and yellow leaves and falls on the ground, forming bright spots of bright yellow and orange. Occasionally, when you step on a dead leaf, you can hear a slight breaking sound.
Compared with other areas outside, the temperature in this area is several degrees higher. Fortunately, the occasional breeze alleviates the heat, so that the residents living here do not completely cannot stay here.
Loran Hill was walking on the road carrying a box, looking around curiously.
Clothing varies across the East Dragon Continent. The Seven Continents of Rarei prefer indigo dye and five-colored silk threads, a unique style characteristic of rural folk. Meanwhile, the more prosperous Flame Ray Continent boasts a more relaxed style, favoring light gauze and various skirts.
Many girls on the street wear cross-over skirts, exposing their knees and calves, with a tulle hem behind them with red and white patterns, like a goldfish tail.
Walking on the street, Loran Hill also felt that most of the extraordinary people were from the Dragon Sequence and the Mysterious Water Sequence. Judging from their clothes, many of them came from the same faction.
Arriving at an inn, Loranhill put the box at his feet and asked the clerk at the counter.
"Hello, is there any room available?"
"Hello, you came at the right time. We only have one room left." The waiter smiled when he saw the western-style girl.
"How much is it?"
"Four silver rings for one night. There's a shortage of rooms right now, so there's nothing we can do about it," said the waiter.
Loran Hill blinked slightly and sensed the situation in the inn. In fact, there were more than one vacant room, but the waiter was not completely lying. Most of the rooms were indeed full.
"Okay." The girl took out four small silver rings from the small package she carried with her and placed them on the counter.
Now is not the time to save money, we should find a place to live first.
"Okay, follow me," the waiter said, then called a companion to look after the shop. He helped Loran Hill carry the suitcase and led the way. First, they walked into the courtyard at the back, then stepped onto the second floor on the west side and opened a guest room.
"This is it. Are you satisfied with it?" He introduced the furnishings in the room. In addition to the carved wooden bed against the wall, there was also a small round table, a dressing mirror, a teapot, a copper basin and so on.
"Okay." The girl nodded, and then the waiter walked out.
After putting down his luggage and washing his face briefly, Loran Hill lay down on the bed and rested for a while.
When she woke up, it was almost dusk and she went downstairs. It was not as hot as it was at noon.
In the middle of the courtyard of the inn, there is a tall pine tree. Under the pine tree, a strong man and a thin man are sitting around a stone table playing chess, while a yellow dog is lying in the shadow of the stone table, kicking its legs from time to time and breathing out hot air.
