Bang——
With a cannon shot, a firework rose slowly, then exploded in the sky, blooming into a radiant flower. Golden sparks crackled and burned, streaking long trails of light in the night sky like a meteor, and fell downwards.
Immediately afterwards, more fireworks rose up and exploded in the sky one after another, blooming into huge flowers of various colors.
This is Solander, the capital of Crancia, and people are celebrating the arrival of the New Year.
In the southwest corner of the palace, at the Hongzhen Palace.
A young girl in a star-studded dress sat by the window, watching the fireworks falling from the sky. The room was quiet, with only the night light on the table emitting a pale yellow glow.
Today, Loran Hill participated in the New Year's ceremony in Crancia, officially appearing in public there. Although many officials had been prepared, they were still amazed by the youth and beauty of this wise lady.
Loran Hill, wearing a gradient silver-blue starry dress, walked on the carpet, flanked by royal knights holding halberds. She wore a golden crown and held a scepter. She accepted the salutes of everyone present and then sat upright on the throne.
Originally, she didn't want to make it so grand, and this ceremony made her feel like a coronation.
But in the end, it was several founding fathers of Clancy who persuaded her.
Before meeting Loran Hill, although the others, except Pullman, admired the sage's knowledge and ideas very much, they were still hesitant about promoting him to this position.
It was not until last year, after meeting the young sage Loran Hill, that some people gradually put aside their doubts, cleared away some accumulated hesitations, and became decisive.
Currently, Loran Hill's position is not that of a ruler or administrator of the country, but rather that of a spiritual symbol facing the public. She will not directly participate in various affairs, but will serve as the image of the country to the public.
The world today is an extraordinary era. People know the existence of the extraordinary and have a strong worship for those top extraordinary people who transcend mortals and are close to gods.
If the top leader of other countries is Sequence 9, or someone who has been famous for a long time, while the highest leader of one's own country is only Sequence 7, this will cause a lack of self-confidence or panic.
There is no shortage of warriors with beliefs and ideals in Clansia, but there are also a large number of ordinary people who are still ignorant. Sometimes it is really difficult to explain too profound truths to them. The only way is to rely on basic education to slowly change the ideas of generations and make the entire nation civilized.
However, in the process of civilization, most people will still have the inertia of past thinking. If their own country cannot establish combat power or image that matches the top level of other countries, then they will inevitably fall into self-doubt and lack of self-confidence.
Extraordinary strength also means an extraordinary sense of security. Before the advent of the industrial age, it was still a small number of extraordinary people who determined most of the direction of the world.
Under such circumstances, Loran Hill had to be pushed to the forefront and take on the image of instilling confidence in everyone.
Of course, the effect is unexpectedly good.
Originally, Loran Hill was worried that she looked a little young, only about 16 or 17 years old. But when she walked to the stage, she realized she was wrong.
People seemed more pleased to see a young sage with breathtaking beauty than a white-bearded old man. As fireworks rained down and colorful flags fluttered, the entire venue erupted in cheers. The outstretched arms and adoring gazes made Loran Hill once again feel the power of the human heart.
After this ceremony, the country, which had been somewhat restless due to the Frost Rose attack, miraculously became stable again.
Wow, why does it feel like things are developing completely differently from what I expected.
The girl rolled around on the bed hugging the pillow.
Although she liked the new country of Clancy, at first she only wanted to do staff work and give occasional suggestions.
What went wrong? How did it become like this? It's like a vase admired by everyone.
Although she has good talent, the girl knows her own situation. She is only capable of fighting at the level of a Sequence 7 at best, and cannot be considered a Sequence 9 in any way. Even if she uses the hairpin left by Trinasha, she only has two chances to defeat a Sequence 8.
Would people from other countries look at him as if he were laughing at a joke? When Loran Hill thought about this, his ears turned slightly red, and he couldn't sleep in bed anymore.
Although Loran Hill tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling asleep, her worries were actually unfounded.
After the rise of Clancy, the reputation of the Star Witch gradually spread among the top-level extraordinary people. Except for those Sequence 9s who were in seclusion, overseas, and not in this world, most sages and witches had gradually become aware of their existence.
If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but Loran Hill was able to cause celestial changes when she was at a low-level extraordinary sequence, and she had long been taken seriously by them. Moreover, she was a witch. Almost everyone believed that it was only a matter of time before this new witch grew up to Sequence 9. Moreover, because of the mutual care between witches, even if others knew that this witch had not yet grown up, they would not take action rashly.
They are not mortal enemies, so there is no need to offend so many witches for this. Besides, even after they die, their grandchildren will still have to face these witches. Things cannot be done too drastically.
So due to various reasons, the sign of Clancy was erected.
---------
After the New Year, after staying in the capital for a while and the situation gradually stabilized, Loran Hill decided to follow his previous plan and travel around the country. Of course, he couldn't use the name of a sage during the process.
They did not retaliate immediately after the last defeat of the Frost Rose. After their ships were destroyed, it was difficult for them to transport troops north again in a short time. At the same time, the New Wilga Alliance's decision to side with Clancy made it impossible for them to abandon it, so they settled down for the time being.
Taking advantage of this gap, Loran Hill planned to go out for a walk. After staying in the capital and being stared at with admiring eyes every day for a long time, she would want to escape for a while and breathe some fresh air.
"Sage, what you requested is ready."
Palinsa brought two maids to the Hongzhen Palace and handed some things to the girl.
"Okay, thank you, Palinsa."
The girl took it and checked it one by one. It was a complete set of merchant certificates. She would pretend to be a merchant's daughter for the time being, buying and selling a small amount of goods, and then investigating the development of various provinces and cities.
Watching Loran Hill accept these things, Palinsa continued to ask.
"Sage, would you like to take a few maids from the palace with you? They have good skills and can assist you with many things during your journey."
After thinking for a while, Loran Hill nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you, Palinsa."
