Chapter 718: Clumsy flapping of wings under the
shade of trees On the plains on the horizon, countless construction machinery came and went, and various personnel shuttled back and forth. From day to night, from winter to midsummer, from nothing to tall buildings everywhere, and traffic networks everywhere, everything was moving at a rapid pace, and everything was changing at a rapid pace.
It has been a year since the establishment of the 'Emerald Dragon'. Now, the dragon vein system of the Ziqiu star field has been built in several lines, covering three continents, benefiting more than one billion people, and bringing significant changes to the local area. In order to experience it in advance, many residents in the Federation came here to travel and visit, which also brought huge economic benefits to the local area.
"The towers you see now are the wind-fixing towers in the dragon vein system. These towers can stabilize the dragon vein system. At the same time, they are also similar to water valves. These towers can be connected to the dragon vein system, and they can be matched with various 'Taoyuan Secret Realm' or 'Botanical Gardens' suitable for cultivating high-level crops, etc." The tour guide introduced to the tourists, and then took a group of people to continue on a small sightseeing hovercraft.
...
"This is the resting point for the transfer. Do you see the large square in front? There is a soaring Emerald Dragon statue and Miss Heshia's autograph. It was originally proposed to erect a statue for Miss Heshia, but unfortunately Miss Heshia refused, saying that now all these are the result of everyone's cooperation."
"Although the subsequent projects rely on the dedication of many participants, we still cannot forget the pioneering contributions made by the singer Miss Heshia. It was she who led the technical team to break through the most critical and difficult nodes and supported and led the revival of dragon vein technology." The tour guide led everyone to the square and began to visit the various facilities here. He also let everyone experience the magical feeling of washing the whole body with dragon vein particles.
"The place where we live tonight is a large hot spring hotel in the mountains. There is a water flow warmed by the dragon vein, which can wash everyone's tired body and mind." The tour guide once again talked about some new concept, as if everything here had to be related to the dragon vein.
Although some rational tourists knew that this was just a means of promotion by merchants, they still couldn't help but want to experience it. After all, coming here across multiple star fields, isn't it just to experience these things?
After the construction and expansion of the 'Emerald Dragon' organization was slowly getting on track, Tilan finally had a rare break.
Of the various changes that have taken place in the Ziqiu Star Region, she was probably only particularly clear about the construction of the dragon vein system, and she had never paid attention to the tourism industry that was derived later, so she didn't know that her reputation had gained a huge spread through the tourism industry.
Turning off the communication projection in front of her, Tilan came to the sofa beside her, took off her shoes, stepped lightly with her feet in black stockings, and then sat down, leaning her head on the cotton and linen pillow, she felt sleepy and fell asleep in a short while.
Since the establishment of the Emerald Dragon, she has been busy all year. First, she has to promote various projects, and then she has to arrange personnel and deal with the distribution of interests within the Emerald Dragon by various factions. After a long time, even if there is no problem physically, she is inevitably a little tired mentally.
Not long after she fell asleep, the door opened gently, and Ores walked in with a little curiosity. There was also a big fluffy spider at her feet, which also curiously poked its head out at this moment and quickly ran to the ceiling.
Wearing a dark blue low-cut dress, Orlesi tiptoed closer carefully, then leaned over, looking at the sleeping Tilan with a curious look, and stretched out her fingers slightly, wanting to touch her, but finally held back.
Half an hour later, Tilan, who had just finished her nap, felt much better. She opened her eyes and found that Orlesi was leaning on the sofa at her feet, hugging her pillow and sleeping soundly.
When did she come in? A thought flashed through Tilan's mind. In fact, even if she was asleep, not everyone could easily get close to her. Perhaps only Orlesi had no reaction because they had been together for too long.
Seeing Orlesi like this, Tilan wanted to laugh a little. She guessed that Orlesi probably wanted to find her to play, but was embarrassed to wake her up, so she sat by the sofa and waited. As a result, she fell asleep while waiting.
Putting her hands on Orlesi's shoulders, Tilan shook her slightly to wake Orlesi up.
The other party opened his eyes angrily and shouted happily, "Tilan~"
"Okay, don't sleep here, let's go out for a walk."
"Yeah."
The two left the room and walked through the corridor of the mansion. On the way, they met several vampire maids. They were wearing uniforms decorated with blood roses, which had a classic and chic feeling.
"Your Highness Heshia, good afternoon."
"You too, Shalian, Luya." Tilan remembered the names of these maids. After all, they had been together for a long time.
After leaving the mansion, the two took a walk in the yard. Orles told Tilan about what she had learned recently and some small things in life.
"Yesterday, the big spider and I went fishing by the river. I used a fragrant fish as bait. It found a small cotton ball from somewhere and used it as a fishing rod by hanging it with its own spider silk..." Orles gestured with her hands, and then the two gradually walked outside.
"At first, I caught a few white fish, but I didn't know their names. Later, the maids told me that kind of fish is very valuable."
"Then the big spider got anxious. I saw it take the small cotton ball out of the water, put some saliva on it, and then let it go. It caught a few big fish very quickly, the biggest of which I couldn't even lift." It should be impossible not to be able to lift it. Maybe Orlais thought it would dirty her skirt and didn't want to use too much force, Tilan thought.
"Later, I found a few maid sisters to help us put the fish into the fresh-keeping box, and finally transported it back home."
"The few fish I hung up have been placed in the big fish tank in the room. Tilan can go and see it with me in the evening."
"What about the fish caught by the big spider?" Tilan vaguely felt that the guy would not fish honestly.
"It was caught. I don't know why it didn't move. I asked the maids, and they said that the fish were probably 'drunk' and needed to be warmed up in a hot pot."
Tilan wanted to laugh after hearing this, guessing that the maids must have been coaxing Orlesi, and the truth was that the fish were fainted by the poison of the big spider.
Orlesi then talked about her interactions with several other extraordinary animals, including the white kites that Tilan raised, the big spider, the twin snakes that turned into dragons, and the orange-red tiger that Pulin fostered here.
"Little Black and Little White are so amazing. They often take me flying far away to see the scenery in various places." The Little Black and Little White that Orlesi was talking about were the two snakes that Tilan raised when she was in high school. Although Tilan had told Orlesi their names, Orlesi still liked to call them Little Black and Little White directly.
"Because it's cute to call her that." Ores answered confidently. In the past two years, her personality has become closer to that before she lost her memory. She is not as cautious and fearful as before. Or maybe she doesn't need to worry about these things in front of Tilan. She is very relaxed.
"Where's Daju?" Tilan asked about the big tiger, which she received from Pulin a year ago.
Pulin originally raised the tiger in Emerald Skirt, but she has been busy in the Central Star Region for many years and has not had much time to come back, so she gave it to Youlan Duojia. Later, Youlan Duojia also wanted to go out and play, so she handed it over to Tilan.
"Anyway, you have a lot of animals there, and you have your own big manor, so just take care of it a little." Tilan had to smile and agree, and asked the maids to vacate a room to take care of it.
"Daju is lazy. I went to see it this morning, and it was still sleeping in its nest." Orles said the scene this morning.
"Go tomorrow, I'll ask the maids to prepare some meat bones that Daju likes to eat for you, you can use this to exchange it, and let it carry you to the grass for a walk." Tilan tilted her head and thought about it.
At this time, the two of them came to the river while chatting, so they sat on the grass by the river to rest and blow the wind.
"Orles." After a while of silence, Tilan called the other's name.
"Do you remember the first time we landed on the Lost Planet?"
"Yes, I didn't know anything at that time, I just followed you." Orles tied up her silver hair, but her rough method was a waste of such beautiful silver hair.
Tilan, who couldn't bear to watch, came to her side and helped Orles comb her hair, then untied the hairband behind her head, pulled off one of the hair strands, and used it on Orles' head to help comb it neatly.
"At that time, I was happiest every evening." Orles recalled what happened five years ago.
"During the day, Tilan had to help Guy and Sura do things, coming and going, and only in the evening would she be free to sit with me on the mountain wall to enjoy the scenery."
"Also, because it was in the evening, I could eat very delicious rice porridge, and then lean against the fire to listen to your stories."
"Did Orles understand at that time?" Tilan was a little curious.
"It's vague, I can't remember some of it, but I felt that I was very happy. Every day, I just had to eat and sleep, and sleep and eat." Orles thought of something.
"No, there were times when I was unhappy, because the bed I slept on the previous month was very hard." Speaking of this, Tilan vaguely remembered that she seemed to have obtained a lot of furs later, which improved the bed a lot.
"Then, it was time for us to spend the winter in Stone Forest Castle." That winter was also particularly warm and peaceful. She occasionally worked as a tutor, and usually read books at home to teach Orles some common sense.
After that, there was a vigorous insect plague. After it ended, Tilan also ran around for the Star Chaser Covenant, and gradually had less time to spend alone with Orles.
"Do you want to go back there now?" Tilan asked Orles. In fact, she also wanted to see how the planet is developing now.
"Okay (^.^)Y" Orles agreed happily.
The application submitted was quickly approved, and Tilan and Orles also boarded the special starship to return to the lost planet.
A few days later, the two landed on the familiar land again.
"This is a special bracelet made by the Supervisory Committee. After Lady Heshia and Lady Orles wear it, you can contact them if you need anything." An inspector of the Tribunal handed over two special bracelets.
"I see." Tilan and Orles took them.
Generally speaking, even scientific research observers cannot land on this planet easily, for fear of causing any accidents or taking away some sensitive gene samples. However, Heshia and Orles have special identities after all, and have lived on this planet for several years in the past, unlike other later personnel.
After returning to this planet, Tilan met several friends who had not seen each other for a long time.
Sura is now driving a large agricultural harvester on the grassland. The rumbling sound of the machine makes her particularly happy. She holds the handle with both hands and manipulates it skillfully, allowing the large harvester to roll up the dense wheat and then crush it and throw it out. The wheat straw and wheat grains are separated, and then the compacted wheat straw rolls in piles on the open space behind her.
"It's great. Sitting on this machine is just like driving a large siege machine!" She likes this machine now.
Since the Federation took over here, in order to enable the residents of this planet to produce themselves and deal with many living and living problems, some of the technology has been passed on to various races on the planet, and some mechanical equipment that meets the technical level has been directly donated.
The technology mastered on this planet today is roughly equivalent to the post-industrial era at the end of the Third Era, and is certainly not as good as the peak of the Fifth Era, but for many settlements that are still in primitive society, this is already a Zenith-like technology, an industrial system that the Slami Association has not fully explored in the past.
Standing on the tall agricultural machinery, the two sat beside Sura, watching her operate the large agricultural machinery skillfully, piling up the wheat straw, and then automatically separating the harvested wheat grains according to the degree of dryness and fullness.
"Such a machine is more efficient than 100 people in the past." Sura said to Tilan excitedly, without any nostalgia for the separation of nearly two years.
Seeing her indulge in this, Tilan knew that if she continued to talk, she might delay the happy work of the new driver, so she took Orlesi to say goodbye for the time being and went to see the situation of others.
The past mountain settlement has now become a big city, with many houses and buildings standing, and its area is about three times that before Tilan left.
"This place is getting bigger and bigger." The two floated in the air to hide their figures, trying not to disturb the normal lives of the residents below.
Crossing the street, Tilan saw Guy who was working at the tax bureau. At this moment, he was wearing a black uniform, holding a plan in one hand, and holding a meeting with the members below to explain the goals for the new quarter.
There is a new middle school in the city, and the principal is the Gray-capped Scholar. However, he is still a bit lazy, and the Gray-feathered people under him usually do the teaching tasks, and he only shows up when there are difficult situations.
The bookstore that Celitia used to run is open again, but the owner is a purple-haired woman, and there is a butterfly logo on the plaque. Occasionally, a few friends flapping their beautiful butterfly wings will gather in the store to talk about the latest things happening in various parts of the continent, and make them into current affairs magazines, which attract the interest of many residents.
The Sage Lindsay returned to the frozen land in the north. It is said that he invited craftsmen from the Ford Alliance to build a huge library between the snowy mountains to record and tell many real histories that have happened since the Fifth Era, so as to remind and warn future generations not to take the wrong path in the past.
The moose boss is now the mayor of this city. Although he is not good at government affairs, he has a group of former members of the Heshan Rescue Society to assist him, so it is not difficult to manage.
After Tilan left, the Star-Chasing Covenant did not disband, but expanded to distant places. From the mountains in the north to the coastal ports in the south, from the extreme west of the grassland to the wasteland in the east, there are strongholds of the Star-Chasing Covenant, marked on the huge map.
Fran led the survivors of the Slami Association on a large ship and returned to the scorched southern continent. They will rebuild their strongholds there and restore the vitality of the local area. This move also attracted some people who love adventure and exploration. They formed sporadic fleets and began to travel across the ocean between the two continents to conduct trade activities.
Since the end of the disaster on this planet, the settlements and races that had been hidden in various places in the past have now slowly appeared in the vision of ordinary people. They have brought new culture and traditions, and the different abilities of these races have also made many residents start thinking about how to play their role.
In the forest between the mountains, a lively and warm base is located here. Dome houses of all sizes are built under the tall trees, like mushrooms hiding under the tree canopy. In this base, there live many little guys with snow-white moth wings on their backs. They are generally not tall, and even if the wings on their backs are fully spread, they cannot fly very high. However, they don't care about these. They will be very happy to be able to glide clumsily between the trees.
"Temeruna, come on~"
Several silkworm moths wearing cotton dresses shouted under the tree. They looked at their timid companions on the tree and cheered her up.
"Jump down and try. Even if you can't glide, everyone will catch you." Ye Yina with long braids comforted the other party.
On the tree branch, the silkworm moth named Temeruna hugged the rough bark, and the wings on her back opened from time to time. She turned her head and looked down several times, but she was still a little afraid to jump.
"Remember that time when we were taken to the sky by Lady Heshia." Another silkworm moth below counseled and comforted her.
"You said that the scenery in the sky is really spectacular and beautiful."
"So, in order to see such scenery again, try hard!" Her words finally touched the silkworm moth on the tree.
Not only for herself, she couldn't live up to Lady Heshia's expectations, she thought to herself.
As a silkworm moth, if it's for themselves, they will probably be particularly timid and afraid, but if someone tells them to do something, they will have a great sense of mission and strive to achieve this goal. This silly character should be very useful.
Although they have various shortcomings, the silkworm moth on the tree slowly let go of their hands, tried to coordinate their balance, and jumped down from the tree branch.
The pair of snow-white moth wings tried to open in the breeze, trying their best to sense the direction of the wind and airflow.
The one-meter,
three-meter,
and five-meter
fluttering moth wings flapped vigorously in the air, carrying the small body through the light in the shade of the trees, until they ran out of strength and fell down.
The companions below followed her and ran. When she was about to land, five silkworm moths flapped their wings and jumped up to support her falling body. Then the six of them fell together on the grass.
It was a bit painful, but not as terrible as imagined. Temeruna stood up with everyone's help.
Then the cheerful laughter rang out in the woods. They held hands happily and spun around on the ground, completely ignoring the dresses stained with grass.
"I told you, Temeruna can do it."
"Why don't we celebrate tonight? We still have a lot of carrots from the last time we exchanged at the camp."
"I still have some dried meat in reserve at home. After everyone shared it last time, we didn't finish it. This time we can also take it out and make soup together."
"Then Ye Yina and I will go pick fruits. The fruit trees that I asked the cat tail sisters to transplant last year have already produced small orange-yellow fruits this year."
"I, I'll go find firewood. Don't grab everything." One of the silkworm moths was a little anxious.
"Okay, that's it, let's get started~" The six silk moth species made the decision happily, and then they became busy in this base again.
These children...
Tilan and Orles stood above the tree canopy, watching the cheerful actions of these little guys below.
Without the innate ability of the Silver Wings to soar into the sky, even gliding requires clumsy attempts step by step. A small improvement in life can make them extremely happy. If someone asks them to do something, they will do their best, with pride and happiness from the bottom of their hearts.
Tilan tried hard to close her eyes to prevent the warm tears from sliding down.
What a group of silly little guys,
just like herself when she was a child
