Loran Hill picked up the corroded book cover, but the pages inside had long since rotted away, making the contents completely unreadable. He searched the rest of the observatory, but found nothing besides corroded bookshelves and instruments. This place seemed abandoned, or perhaps no one had been there for a long time.
After leaving the observatory, Loran Hill did not return to his residence, but walked slowly around the Tower Academy.
She first heard about Si Ye in Madam Filia's shop in Hopeland, where the teacher mentioned the Book Witch who lived in the tower. In other words, Si Ye did exist at Emenas' school. As the headmaster, although he rarely appeared in public, he still handled some matters.
Her past experiences and memories were flawless, clearly demonstrating the existence of the witch Si Ye. Even Tidaisi had given her a letter, asking her to deliver it to Si Ye upon her arrival at the school. Strength was the most difficult to fake; Tidaisi and Keti were both truly Sequence 9. Furthermore, Si Ye had gifted her with a book that could seal birds, which she still possessed, possessing miraculous effects.
All these things, memories, objects, history, and experiences tell us that Lorraine Hill Night Squad does exist, and this is real.
But the scene she saw in the observatory was also witnessed with her own eyes. Those traces were obviously not formed in a day or two. According to her perception, there were clearly visible historical traces, which was also true.
Now, the two realities overlapped, and a violent conflict occurred at this point in the observatory.
Which one is the false one?
Loran Hill was struggling to make a judgment; she needed more information to corroborate the situation. As she pondered who else she knew at the school, the image of the former Blue Songstress, Lady Filia, resurfaced in her mind.
It seems that I have to meet this mentor this time.
Just like a student who had skipped classes for a year suddenly had to go see his teacher, Loran Hill was actually a little nervous, but had to go.
She asked some students and found out where Teacher Filia's office was, so she walked towards the Wind Sound Tower at the edge of the valley.
The tower is lit at night and can be seen from far away. The tower is beautiful, and under the eaves at the top are beautiful copper wind chimes hanging, gently swaying and colliding in the breeze of the valley.
Luo Xier walked in and went up the stairs. There was no one in the corridor and it was quite quiet. But a sound similar to piano playing came from the top of the tower.
The girl slowly removed the smoky pendant from her neck and placed it in her ring. Then, she untied her hairband behind her back, letting her silver hair fall across her shoulders. She straightened it out before tying it back up, but this time her look was more like what she'd worn in Hopeland, more like the eldest daughter of a prominent family.
Recalling the etiquette that Chelsea had taught her, the girl straightened her dress and slowly walked forward again.
The attic at the top was getting closer and closer, and the sound of the music was becoming clearer and clearer, like the trembling of brass pipes, bright and clear.
She stood quietly in front of the door, listening to the music, ready to wait until it ended before knocking on the door.
The melody is long and ancient, and the sound of playing is full of nostalgia, which makes people recall the past.
After a long time, the music slowly stopped and a sound came from inside the door.
"Come in."
"Hmm." Loran Hill gently turned the handle and pushed open the door. The player under the bright candlelight was none other than Lady Filia, whom she had not seen for more than a year. She was sitting in front of the piano in a light yellow long dress, with her slender fingers showing through her white lotus cuffs.
"It's little Lacey. You finally come to see me?" When Mrs. Filia saw Loran Hill appear, she recognized him at a glance. She didn't seem angry and said jokingly.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Filia." Loran Hill honestly bowed his head and admitted his mistake. He was indeed late.
"I'm glad you're here. It's a pity it's late now, and I don't have any snacks to treat you. Come and sit over here first."
Mrs. Filia moved to the side, making room on the bench in front of the piano.
Luo Xier walked over quietly and sat down obediently, and then the teacher asked.
"How's school been over the past year? Judging from the clothes you're wearing, you should have enrolled in Temple Academy. Are you afraid I'll blame you for not coming here?"
"No, I was just busy and forgot." Loran Hill gave a lame excuse. She was not a good liar and felt very ashamed.
"Okay, there's no need to be so restrained. Come on, put your hands up." Mrs. Filia asked Loran Hill to put his hands on the keyboard. Only then did she notice that this piano was a little different.
Inside the elegant black shell is a simple and smooth copper lining. There is a yellowed mural on the open piano cover, and the keys in front of the piano are arranged in two layers like a ladder. The main body of each layer of keys is black, and there are small raised white keys in the middle, which is exactly the opposite color of the piano.
"This is a harpsichord, a relatively ancient instrument," Teacher Filia introduced, and then asked Roland Hill to try playing a few notes. Then, a clear metallic vibrato rang out from the instrument.
"Compared to the piano, the harpsichord has a clearer sound, but its sound isn't very loud and its range is a bit narrow. With the rise of the piano, few people use it anymore."
"However, there are still a small number of people who like this unique tone and retain a small amount of heritage." Lady Filia introduced and asked Luo Xier to play a simple melody according to the score to slowly familiarize herself with this instrument.
After a while, when Loran Hill had almost finished playing, Mrs. Filia asked her to stop slowly.
