Chapter 18 Legendary Diva 'Golden Flame Rose'
The bright yellow crystal lamp above her head rotated silently, emitting a steady light. The table below was filled with various prepared delicacies. In the middle was a hot soup with some bubbles, including winter melon and pork ribs. Next to it were stir-fried vegetables and steamed cakes.
Today, not only Grandma He, Heshia, He Cheng, and Lisa's family of three came, but the six of them sat around the dining table eating dinner and occasionally talking.
"It's been a long time since we've had dinner together. It's rare to have everyone together today." Grandma He said.
"You usually have your own things to do, and Li An and the others live far away..." The Li An that Grandma He mentioned was her other two children, but they were not in Arpeggio City at the moment, and they were also very old.
"It's okay, there are still a few of us to accompany you, Grandma." He Cheng and his sister were considered Grandma He's grandchildren, and their parents had passed away a long time ago.
"Haha, as long as you are safe, I don't have to care. Anyway, you have lived long enough." Grandma He was very open-minded.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, come on, eat, I prepared this with all my heart today, you guys are not allowed to leave any leftovers." The house was filled with laughter.
After dinner, Heshia returned to the bedroom, and only then did she have time to think carefully about what happened in the bathroom before.
Is it frozen? She thought to herself, then looked at the water cup on the table, thought about it, and poured a little into her palm.
A light blue light appeared in her black eyes again, and then the water droplets in her palm quickly gathered and condensed, turning into transparent ice beads of varying sizes, and a slight cold touch came from her skin.
She slid the ice bead in her palm onto the table, picked up one of them, closed her eyes, and observed carefully. The ability of Withering Sequence 2: Dark Visit was activated, and the situation in the ice bead also appeared in her mind.
This feeling...
Heshia got up and left the bedroom, went to the kitchen on the first floor, then opened the refrigerator door, pulled out the frozen layer, and took out a few ice cubes.
After returning to the room, the girl compared the difference between the two ice cubes. The tiny structures in them were like being illuminated by a magnifying glass and reflected in her consciousness.
Compared with the ice beads with neat structures and no gaps, the ice cubes in the refrigerator have messy internal structures, and there are many tiny gaps. It is precisely because of these gaps that the ice cubes are opaque and appear whitish.
After carefully observing for a long time, Heshia put down the ice cubes and beads.
Although it is impossible to fully determine, she has already known some of the effects of her talent, that is, freezing, or re-condensing, and re-aggregating the originally scattered molecules in a uniform and orderly manner according to a certain rule.
Is this ability only useful for water droplets or other substances? Heshia had such an idea.
Soon she found other things to experiment, such as salt grains, sugar, oil, etc. in the kitchen.
The salt and sugar that were heated and melted, under the action of the ability, condensed into crystals again, and even precipitated the previous impurities, making them exceptionally pure.
The oil is more peculiar, showing a gradient color, as if it is arranged according to the length of the molecular chain.
After the experiment, it was already very late. Considering that it would disturb others and she had to go to work tomorrow, Heshia stopped.
Let's go to the store tomorrow to ask. There are several maid sisters who are very knowledgeable and should know more.
Time passed and it was soon the next day.
Because she was a little excited last night, Heshia actually couldn't sleep for a long time before she fell asleep. It took a long time after the alarm clock rang before she crawled out of the quilt.
She splashed some clean water on her face to make herself more awake. After washing up, Heshia set off for work.
Go to the vertical elevator to enter the upper level of Arpeggio City, then take the vertical rail car to the city center, then pass the security check at the bottom of the Dingxing Tower, and then enter it.
It was only a little after 8 o'clock. Most of the people entering and leaving the elevator were employees, with different appearances, some in suits and leather shoes, some in dirt-resistant work clothes, etc. Heshia standing among them was as inconspicuous as a gray duck.
After waiting patiently for several minutes, the elevator kept going up and passengers kept leaving. When the floor exceeded the 35th floor, there were only two people left inside, in addition to Heshia, there was also a working lady in a gray suit.
She looked at Heshia with a little curiosity, and then asked.
"Are you going to work at Liuli Dream?"
"Ah... yes." Heshia was surprised that she could guess this.
"Hehe, there are only 4 floors above, and the observation deck on the top of the building is not open at this time. There are only Liuli Dream and the government agencies of Arpeggio City. You are so young, you must not be an employee of the government agency, so you are also a new employee of Liuli Dream."
"So that's how it is." The girl nodded.
"What's your code name? I'll go to Liuli Dream and see you when I'm free in a few days."
"The code name is 'Dantrian', but I'm still interning."
"'Dantrian'? I'll remember it." The working lady was thoughtful.
After leaving the elevator, Heshia came to the Glass Dream, which was not open yet. However, Belphegor had not arrived yet, so she could only wait.
Maids came down one after another after changing their clothes. Some of them were known to Heshia, while others were very unfamiliar.
"Is Danterian waiting for someone?" A plump blonde maid stopped in front of her.
"Yes, sister Andusia." The girl nodded and saluted.
"That rabbit probably slept in again. She often plays games until late. Come with me." Andusia asked Heshia to follow her upstairs to change clothes.
After opening the door with her employee privileges, Andusia led Heshia to the dressing room to change clothes, and then helped her comb her hair.
However, everyone has their own style. Anducia did not choose to put a cat ear headband on Heshia, but chose a blooming white and green cut chrysanthemum, and fixed it on the side of Heshia's head with a special hairpin, like a small crown, and the headband and the bow on the collar also used green and white colors, giving people a natural and elegant style.
After dressing up, Anducia nodded slightly, seemed very satisfied, and then took Heshia to work in the store.
"You will work in my flower room in the morning, water the flowers, and then I will teach you some details of the work."
"Yeah."
Compared to other bar counters or maid working environments, Andusia's flower room really makes Heshia feel less stressed, and it is also very quiet there.
Seeing the expectant and serious look in Heshia's eyes, Andusia smiled again and helped her take care of the hair on her bangs.
"Just don't think it's boring."
There are not many customers in the morning. After all, at this time, most people are working. Only a few people who are very idle will get up early and come to the store to talk to the maids, or meet with friends.
In the transparent flower room separated by glass, vines are everywhere, and the flowers and plants cultivated in pots are growing vigorously, and some are still blooming.
"This pot is aster flowers, just water it moderately, it's easier to raise, and the pot next to it is wild lily, don't water it too much..." Andusia instructed Heshia while telling her the habits of various flowers and plants, as well as the language of flowers.
Heshia listened while watering. Although she was a little sleepy today, her memory seemed to be particularly good. Perhaps this is also the benefit of awakening her talent?
After introducing the common flowers and plants on one side of the greenhouse, Anducia began to introduce some flowers and plants with extraordinary effects.
"This pot of cold spider plant will emit cold air to lower the surrounding temperature when the room temperature exceeds 20 degrees. Although the effect of a single pot is not great, there are all over the upper layer of the greenhouse, which is why this greenhouse is not hot and comfortable
. In addition, it also has a weak effect of purifying the air, but of course you can't rely on it too much." Anducia pointed to the rows of green and white vines hanging above the greenhouse. "No wonder." The girl blinked, feeling a little fresh.
Although extraordinary plants are learned in textbooks, seeing them with your own eyes is another matter.
"I usually take care of these spider plants because I major in the natural sequence. If I don't go to work for a period of time, you can go to 'Bathin', she is also in the natural sequence and can help take care of them." (Bathin: Bathin): The 18th demon among King Solomon's 72 demons, whose image is a snake-tailed man riding a colorful horse. It can identify herbs and gems, and can also teleport people.)
"What about the other pots? That one is wolf's gold chrysanthemum, which is bright orange-red like gold, and the petals have extraordinary medicinal effects. Well, after the flowering period in June, you can pick the petals and store them.
"This pot is Edelweiss lily, which is light and fluttering. In ancient times, pinching Edelweiss lily could make you slowly fall from a great height, but now it is more for ornamental purposes. Many girls like this kind of flower."
Heshia spent the whole morning studying, as if she had returned to school, and Andusia was a very good teacher and senior. While teaching Heshia how to take care of these flowers, she also told her about the origins, uses, and messages of these flowers.
Time passed unknowingly. At noon, Andusia took Heshia to the staff restaurant for lunch, and then in the afternoon she took Heshia to the workplace of another maid.
"'Butis', 'Dantrian' will be handed over to you in the afternoon. "Andusia said to the emerald-haired maid in front of her while pulling out Heshia who was hiding behind her.
"Haha, no problem~☆"
(Botis: The 17th demon among King Solomon's 72 demons. One of his images is an ugly poisonous snake. When summoned by a magician, he takes on a human form, holding a horn and a sword. He can know the past and the present, and distinguish between friends and enemies.)
This maid, who is about the same age as Anducia, also has a good figure. She has waist-length emerald wavy hair, and the glass compartment behind her is like a dense rainforest, with emerald leaves and poisonous flowers everywhere, among which there are also brightly colored poison dart frogs and slender snakes.
If both of them are running plant glass houses, then Anducia and Botis are completely different styles. Anducia
's side is quiet, warm and relaxing, while Botis's side is dangerous, poisonous and tense. No wonder Heshia is a little scared. After all, there is a lush green snake in front of you, and you will feel uneasy.
After Anducia left, Botis came over with a smile.
"Is 'Dantrian' scared?" The elder sister seemed to be very interested in the cute girl who dared not move.
"Come in first." As she said that, she pulled the reluctant Heshia into the rainforest full of poisons. Heshia could even see some scary insects crawling on the ground.
"Are these all poisonous?" The girl finally couldn't help asking.
"Yes, and they are very poisonous, hehe."
"But don't worry, there is always serum in the store, so it doesn't matter even if you get bitten." She turned her head and told the girl not to worry.
"Don't be too scared, after all, this is not the real wild. These little guys in there have been trained by me, and they are all very obedient and won't bite people randomly."
Although she said so, Heshia still couldn't rest assured.
"Okay, this is it." After walking a short distance, 'Boutis' took Heshia to a small pool deep in the water. The pool was very clear and surrounded by stones.
"Come, sit by the pool, I'll teach you what to do this afternoon."
Pulling Heshia to sit down together, Butis took a bell from her waist and shook it gently, and a light and pleasant sound came out.
This simple music did not only give people an auditory experience, but Heshia could even feel a light and pleasant mood from it, which made her nervousness much more stable. Along with the sound of the bell, there was a rustling sound in the rain forest, and poisonous creatures of various shapes crawled out of it, colorful, so Heshia dared not look closely and had to close her eyes.
"Okay, now 'Dantrian' can open his eyes." Butis's voice came.
The girl carefully opened one eye, but the pool was surrounded by various poisonous snakes, scorpions, spiders, and poison dart frogs, which scared her and closed her eyes again.
"It's okay." After saying that, Butis shook the bell again to calm Heshia's mood.
"The main product of my business is these cute little guys." Butis first introduced the types of these poisons to Heshia.
Most of them are creatures with extraordinary powers, ranging from Sequence 1-3, and a few are Sequence 4, which is surprising.
"Although I am only an original Sequence 3, they are very obedient and will not mess around. As for how I tamed them, it will take a long time to talk about it. If 'Dantrian' is interested, I can tell you later, but today, let's get used to the work content first."
"Unlike the toxins of ordinary creatures, the toxins of extraordinary creatures carry a touch of extraordinary concepts and do not completely rely on the effects of chemicals or neurotransmitters, which means that they cannot be treated with neutralizers or serums."
This is even more frightening, the girl thought silently in her heart.
"But if you analyze the characteristics and make a targeted antidote, you can be safe. This is generally related to alchemy and medicine."
"These little guys in my greenhouse may look scary, but the toxins they secrete have many uses. Some can be used for alchemy and medicine, and some are materials for some high-end perfumes, so their venom must be collected regularly."
"Sometimes I can't handle it alone, so I'm asking you for help today."
After Butis's explanation, Heshia finally nodded, and step by step, she tiptoed carefully to touch these little guys, but the process...
"Woo..."
A verdant little snake wrapped around Heshia's calf, and then a fluffy big spider landed on Heshia's head. At this time, Heshia was holding a bright red poison dart frog.
"Ahaha, everyone likes you very much." Butis laughed while helping Heshia take the spider off her head.
"Here's to you. Just shake it twice and they'll be obedient." She continued to explain the key points, and then handed over the bell in her hand.
Heshia followed the instructions carefully, took the bell in her hand, and shook it slightly. Then a pleasant sound of bells spread out, like the cold bells in the winter night, which made people feel calm.
After hearing the bells, Butis smiled and nodded at first, but soon a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes, staring at the bell in Heshia's hand and her serious and lovely appearance.
Not long after, the little snake became gentle and stopped swimming. This also made Heshia suppress her fear and slowly untie the little snake from her legs and put it aside.
"Don't let it go yet, grab its head and spit out venom." Butis instructed and demonstrated on the side.
"Woo, okay." The girl carefully pinched the snake's head, let it approach the glass container, and then gently pressed on it. The little snake also cooperated to open its fangs and slowly ooze out colorless venom.
"Very good, 'Dantrian' learns quickly." Butis gave a thumbs up and praised, and clapped her hands.
"Continue, the next one is this Blue Wolf Spider."
A wolf spider that was a circle larger than Heshia's hand was placed in front of her. This wolf spider was a natural sequence 3 tree-dwelling wolf spider, with bright blue hairs on its limbs, and the middle of the trunk was black.
When the wolf spider climbed onto Heshia's hand, she was so scared that she dared not move, and her back kept sweating.
"Don't panic, slowly, gently touch its forelimbs with your fingers, don't worry, I'm here."
After a while, Heshia dared to try to do it, and then the wolf spider also moved, but the picture was like a frame drop, and there was no middle part.
"Look at those pairs of big black gemstone eyes, they are cute, right?"
No, not cute at all, Heshia complained in her heart.
Fortunately, she finally got used to it. She began to repeat the previous process carefully and took out the venom.
In this way, under Butis's coaxing and deception, Heshia finally got used to it slowly and her speed was much faster.
Near dusk, after dealing with the venom of the last little guy by the pool, Butis washed her hands, then came to Heshia and helped the girl who couldn't stand up because of leg pain.
"Thank you for your hard work." She patted Heshia's clothes and then hugged her gently.
"Let's go eat something. I'll treat you today, and then I'll tell you how I tamed these guys."
Just like yesterday, the two sat in front of the bar of 'Furuus', but today it was Butis's treat.
"'Dantrian' is here again." Furuus looked at the two with a smile, and then began to prepare dinner.
"Are you curious that even wild extraordinary animals can be tamed and obedient?" Butis explained to the girl while drinking the drink that Furuus had just mixed.
"Actually, this is a branch of some kind of ability of a singer, or one of its uses."
"Singer?" A question mark popped up above the girl's head. She naturally knew the meaning of a singer, but she had never thought about this aspect.
A singer is not just a singer. A more appropriate term should be a supernatural being with the talent of soul synchronization, and singing or music is just a means to spread and use this talent. The huge country of the Rose Federation was promoted by a colorful singer hundreds of years ago.
With the mediation and running around of this legendary singer for nearly 20 years, 186 giant companies and 37 interstellar organizations finally came together, set a new twelve charters, and established this country. This is the origin of the original 31 star fields of the Federation.
To this day, the Rose Federation has 239 star fields, but the birthday of the singer named "Golden Flame Rose" is still a national celebration day for the entire Federation. Her huge bust portrait always stands on the wall of the meeting hall of the Congress. She holds a bouquet of flowers and sits in front of a gorgeous red chair. She is surrounded by green leaves and blooming roses, and there are fairies flying among them.
This half-elf and half-human girl created a miracle. In the beginning of the sixth season, which was a ruin, she established the first powerful country in human civilization.
Finally, we are on topic.
