Chapter 445: Light rain and breeze outside the study
In the early morning, Tilan woke up from her sleep and looked at the time. It was around 7 o'clock in the morning.
Oh, is it so punctual? She thought to herself, and looked out the window. It was a little dark and not long after dawn.
Slowly sitting up, Tilan was still a little sleepy. If she wanted to sleep, she would definitely be able to sleep, but today she had to... Wait, today should be the weekend, and she didn't have to go to class.
Thinking of this, Tilan touched the quilt, lay down again, and covered the quilt.
The quilt is so comfortable, I'd better sleep more.
Closing her eyes, the girl fell asleep again. When she woke up next time, it was already past 9 o'clock.
Rubbing her eyes and lifting the quilt, she walked to the window in slippers and pulled open the curtains that were only slightly exposed, revealing the scenery outside the window.
The sky was still gloomy, and a little cold wind blew through the treetops, causing the branches to sway. Through the open window, bursts of coolness blew into the room, making people feel refreshed.
It's going to rain, Tilan thought.
Since she moved to live on the ground in high school, she has gradually gained experience. With this kind of cool breeze and gloomy sky, it is not far from raining.
Her mood has inexplicably improved a lot. Tilan walked into the small room connected to the bedroom. This is her dressing room. There are all kinds of clothes hanging in the cabinets on the side of the room, including comfortable dresses for casual life, formal dresses for formal occasions, uniforms issued by the school, and so on.
Lifting her toes and tapping the ground, Tilan glanced at these clothes, thinking about which one to wear today.
Some of these clothes were bought by her, but more were sent directly by the partners. As long as she wears them, it will be considered as advertising for them, so there is no charge.
For this set, she chose a light yellow dress, the neckline and skirt are decorated with a few dark blue ribbons, which looks very youthful and energetic, but the dark blue ribbons are slightly restrained, so that the light yellow dress is not too frivolous, and they are very coordinated with each other.
She rarely wears yellow clothes. It's not that she has any prejudice. It's just that in high school, the style of Edes Academy was mainly black and blue. As the representative of the academy and a singer, she was often affected by the color matching of her clothes in public. Saint Ingo's clothes were mainly golden yellow.
After changing her clothes, Tilan picked a pair of comfortable strappy sandals and put them on, then walked out of the bedroom.
"Good morning, Lady Tilan." There were already two red maids waiting outside. Their uniforms were still mainly red and black, with dark red rose decorations on the sides of their skirts.
"Morning." When Tilan responded, she glanced across the corridor and saw that Ge Yin's room was still closed.
"Is Ge Yin up?"
"Miss Ge Yin hasn't gotten up yet." A maid answered, blinking her red eyes and asking with a little expectation.
"Do you want to wake Miss Ge Yin?"
"Not for now, but if she hasn't gotten up by 11 o'clock, wake her up." Tilan shook her head. She felt that Ge Yin must have stayed up late again last night.
Going downstairs, I came to a side hall that was used as a study and sat down. There were many books on one side of the wall. The space was comfortable, not as spacious and luxurious as the main hall, but more lively, so Tilan liked it very much.
"Breakfast is already prepared, just wait ten minutes." A maid replied.
"It's okay." Tilan was not in a hurry, just leaning on the light gray cloth sofa, watching the grass outside the window being blown by the wind, thinking that the rain was about to fall.
"Open the window partly, let in some fresh air."
"Okay." A maid walked over briskly, opened one side of the window a little, and then fixed it. The process was very light and quiet.
The girl who watched the process remembered something and asked curiously.
"Have you trained? It seems that there is no sound when you walk."
"I have trained a little. In fact, this is not difficult to do." Another maid beside her answered.
"The soles of the shoes we wear have been treated with silencers, so they are not so easy to make noise. In addition, everyone has learned a lot of combat-related things before, including silent infiltration."
"Infiltration, is this also something that maids have to learn?" Tilan was a little surprised.
"Yes, in the ancient palace, the close maid was often the mistress's deputy, and had to help deal with various issues, including but not limited to protecting security, reviewing accounts, spying on intelligence, etc."
"Wait a minute, the ancient palace you are talking about, are you referring to the True Red Empire in the First Era?" From Tilan's good history education, she remembered that the Mercury Dynasty in the Second Era was at war most of the time, and those necromancers were not so particular. In the Third Era, except for the Green Empire, which had a huge court, the other seven countries of Xuehua did not have such a large court staff.
"Yes, our blood race originated from the True Red Empire. At that time, in order to adapt to the practice of the demon sequence, the witches who led the empire made many transformations, and then we were born. However, the early blood race had many defects and the number of people was not prosperous."
"I have heard a little about this. At that time, the True Red Empire also transformed many magic beasts and prepared to use them in war to deal with the endless army of the Orc Empire." Tilan thought of the witch of reconciliation, Edwina. This was what she was best at. Until the Third Age, many dragons in the Kingdom of Oz were also born from her hands.
"Breakfast is here."
When Tilan was still recalling history, another maid brought breakfast over. There were two freshly baked egg tarts, milk, four slices of bread, two slices of red sausage, and five green grapes. It was very rich, but not too much.
After slowly enjoying breakfast, Tilan sat on the sofa and read a book. Today she was reading the school's exclusive "Selected Songs of Past Dynasties", which recorded the life experiences and deeds of the various song girls since the birth of the Federation.
Although not as dazzling as the two color-class divas, there are still many divas who have had a huge impact in the past thousand years since the establishment of the Federation. They either promoted a certain reform or introduced a certain concept into people's lives.
Sandra, the early diva of the Federation, was born in the 86th year of the Sixth Era. At that time, Isainessa was still alive, and the young Sandra stayed with Isainessa for a while.
After Isainessa's death, Sandra grew up quickly and gradually became the core of the Federation to replace Isainessa. She was a famous Sun-class diva in the early Federation, second only to the color-class.
Unlike Isainessa, who prefers nature and loves flowers and plants, Sandra, the Sandstone Rose, is not very interested in perishable flowers and plants. She prefers things that can last for a long time.
Under her influence, the Federation of that era began to build giant buildings.
These magnificent buildings, like wonders, often did not use modern industrial materials, but preferred various types of original stones. Engineers cut and polished these stones, or directly carved out magnificent halls on the rocky mountains.
Walking into these buildings is like walking into the kingdom of giants. The steps inside are often several meters high, and the huge pillars are often nearly 100 meters in diameter, towering and incomparable.
Since they are made of stone and are natural materials, these magnificent palaces can be preserved for hundreds of years without maintenance, and such buildings give people who have just experienced the chaotic dark age of the Fifth Era a great sense of psychological security.
It is also out of fear, worry, and warning to future generations about the Fifth Era that these giant buildings often have various inscribed texts and murals, telling about what happened in that era, hoping to pass on history. This is an instinctive reaction of life after facing the threat of death.
This trend has indirectly affected many people. If you are familiar with the history of the Federation, you will know that the early federal architectural style tends to be grand and huge to fight against the psychological shadow left by the dark sun for a long time. It was not until two or three hundred years after the establishment of the Federation that this trend slowly cooled down, because people of this era basically grew up in a comforting social environment, and naturally did not understand the fear and anxiety. They prefer a comfortable living environment of appropriate size and are no longer obsessed with grand buildings.
After reading the life story of Sandstone Rose Sandra, Tilan felt that this singer was also a ruler with a strong character. Because of the death of Isanissa, the Federation left a huge power vacuum and various states of leaderlessness.
Fortunately, Sandra, the Sandstone Rose, was bold enough and had the corresponding strength to stabilize the Federation in its early days and established a stable system for the subsequent inheritance. Only then did the complete order of the Federation take shape.
Closing the book for the time being, Tilan heard the sound of raindrops hitting the glass. Almost in the blink of an eye, heavy rain fell, and the dense sound of rain drowned the world.
"It's raining." She said softly and stood up.
Turning to the gate of the mansion, Tilan looked at the countless splashes of water on the open space outside. The breeze blew the water droplets into the hall, and a cool feeling emerged on her skin.
"Lord Tilan, you will get wet if you stand here." The maid behind him whispered.
"It's okay, I just want to get wet in the rain." The girl turned her head and said with a smile.
This was her first time to be caught in the rain outside the Jade Skirt. Unlike the slightly toxic and corrosive rain on the Jade Skirt, the rain on this planet was particularly fresh and comfortable. It was great
, the girl thought, she was in a good mood for no particular reason.
She asked the maid to bring a wooden recliner, and Tilan sat by the door, watching the rain outside. The more it rained, the more quiet and relaxed she felt.
Time passed quietly, and when Ge Yin came downstairs still sleepy, it was already 11:30.
"Good morning, Tilan~" She walked slowly to the girl, said good morning, and then stood beside her blankly, watching the rain outside together.
"Aren't you hungry?" After a few minutes, the girl couldn't help asking.
"A little."
"Haha, I asked them to prepare food for you. It's almost noon, so let's have lunch together."
"Yeah." After that, Ge Yin continued to stand beside Tilan, not knowing whether she was watching the rain or her brain was in hibernation again.
Lunch was prepared soon after. It was very rich. There were Ge Yin's favorite "vegetable stewed beef brisket", "flatbread", and Tilan's favorite "fried silver cod". As for why Ge Yin preferred this, she said that flatbreads can be kept for a long time and can be eaten at any time, which saves time and is convenient. Vegetable beef is more balanced in nutrition. Because she doesn't go out often, she needs to supplement vitamins and meat nutrition.
"Complete pragmatism." Tilan commented, and decided to make some delicious and novel food for Ge Yin next time. She also learned it in the Glass Dream before, but now she doesn't make it much.
After lunch, the rain gradually subsided. At this time, Tilan asked the maid to move the chair back to the house, and then went to the underground training ground to sort out what she had learned recently and prepare for the next advancement.
First of all, it was about the singer. Tilan picked up the flute, put it to her lips and played slowly. The quiet underground music echoed, and the emerald silk light flowed and outlined. One after another, green lotus flowers emerged and bloomed on the ground. These special flowers woven by magic had a cool aura.
Then the sound of the flute changed, and fine raindrops formed in the underground training ground, and then fell, making people feel like they were bathing in the breeze of March.
The secret method of condensing rain into silk, which she learned from Audney (Feng Jianshang) some time ago, has now become somewhat mature.
Then, Tilan put down the flute, held the flute body in her hand, like holding the hilt of a sword, and gently turned it. The raindrops floating in the air instantly turned into slender ice crystals, and then gathered in her hand like a vortex, and continued to spread on the flute body, forming an ice crystal sword.
There are no bubbles and impurities. This sword is transparent and colorless, and it is as light as water. It is delicate and silent when
wielded. After that, Tilan practiced all kinds of swordsmanship she had learned one by one. In this underground training ground, there were sometimes thunders, sometimes winds, sometimes ice cracks, and sometimes shadows, and finally it returned to light wind and light rain.
After the training, Tilan gently turned the flute in her hand, and the originally condensed clear ice sword dispersed, the water mist turned into smoke, and then disappeared into the air with the breeze.
She has learned a lot about swordsmanship. It can even be said that because she has learned too much, she sometimes even faces the difficulty of making choices.
In the future, she should practice more secrets and skills in other categories during school, and not rely too much on the so-called swordsmanship.
Thinking of this, Tilan opened her palm, and a ball of blue flame rose, which was extremely cold and cool. It floated gently, and wherever it went, the ground was condensed with ice and frost, and even the crisp sound of ice cracking could be heard.
This semester, try to practice various spells as much as possible in terms of combat, but the main job is still the singing girl.
Speaking of singing girls, some time ago, Elklu gave her a lot of concert tickets and invited her to watch them secretly.
On the planet of Harp Crown, there are many music-related industries. Many bands that are well-known in the Federation debuted here. In the area of Academy City, various underground idols and bands emerge in an endless stream, with all kinds of styles. A large number of young people also have the habit of listening to and experiencing them. If they are good and popular, their reputation can spread quickly among students.
Therefore, every year there are singers from all over the Federation who want to pursue their dreams here, win a large number of fans with their own strength, and then become famous.
Such an environment has caused fierce competition and promoted the quality of each other. If you can stand out here, you will also be a very powerful band and singer in other remote star regions.
Coming out of the underground training ground and returning to the side hall of the study, Tilan counted the tickets in her hand. There is a show tomorrow.
"Do you want to go and see it, Ge Yin?" She asked the girl next to her.
Ge Yin did not answer, and Tilan knew what she was thinking.
"You can't hide at home. I know you won't sleep well even if you stay in your room."
As a roommate and friend, Tilan decided to take this "homebody girl" out for a walk, even though she often sleeps in at home.
