Chapter 84: Do Your Best to Make Thousands of Buildings Like Sails
It's raining.
Heshia looked at the changing simulated sky on the dome of 'Lapis Lazuli Dream'. Dark clouds floated by, and the sound of dripping rain fell. In some corners of the hall, water also dripped into the container below, splashing a little water.
In order to avoid the distortion caused by repeated sunny days, the simulated sky in 'Lapis Lazuli Dream' is synchronized with the weather on the surface, and the Arpeggio City also reflects the appearance of the night starry sky on the entire dome, so that people living underground will not be too depressed.
After finishing a day's work, Heshia came to Andusia's vine flower room. The elf maid was teasing a golden cat.
Scratching the cat's chin gently, the light golden cat leaned in Andusia's arms, looking comfortable, and occasionally raised its four legs to move.
"Is it over, Danterian?" Andusia looked up and greeted.
"Yes, sister Andusia." Heshia also came to her, half squatted down, and looked at the lazy kitten.
"It's called 'Ran Ran', about 4 months old, a gift from a friend of mine." Andusia introduced the spoiled kitten in her arms.
"Very cute, and fluffy." The girl touched it carefully, and a small snake emerged from the sleeve of her other hand. It swam out, floating in the air, and looked at the kitten in front of it.
The little snake was still a Sequence 2 a month ago, but now it has advanced to Sequence 3. Although it has not become very strong, it has gained the extraordinary ability to float in the air.

It has been upgraded from the original sequence to a creature of the Dragon Sequence, and has also gained some additional abilities. Because the brand veins in the extraordinary core are mostly used to form the ability of floating and avoiding cold, there is not much room for improvement in combat, except for the ability of cold poison.
After the upgrade, Heshia was not surprised that it had the ability to float, because this was the model she helped choose and coached for the upgrade, but she was a little curious about the ability to avoid cold later.
How afraid of cold and death are you? The abilities you selected are all life-saving. The girl couldn't help but hold her forehead and shook her head.
At Sequence 2, it gained the ability to feign death and hibernate in order to save its life in extreme situations. Later, it gained the ability to avoid cold, which eliminated the weakness of snakes that were inconvenient to move when their body temperature was too low.
Think about the indigo snake she met at Iridium Academy. Its personality was much more sunny and cheerful, and its attack power was also extremely strong. After the gem on its forehead condensed magic power, it could easily cut steel plates with high-temperature rays.
Because it liked to follow Heshia very much, this little snake was gradually recognized by the maids in the store. However, when there were customers, Heshia would still hide it to avoid scaring others.
Andusia looked at the little white snake that was peeking out, and took out cat food from the drawer beside it and fed it some. This guy was not picky about food, and basically ate anything that had something to do with meat.
"By the way, how is the big spider in the 'Butis' jungle? I heard that its injuries were slowly healing last month." Andusia asked Heshia about the situation while comforting the kitten who was wary of the little snake's breath.
"As for it, I slowly nursed it back to health some time ago, and it's become happy again recently, but it's also more disobedient. Every time I go there, I have to be careful that it might suddenly fall from somewhere and squat on my head." Heshia said with a little distress. Since the big spider recovered, it liked to lie on her head when Heshia wasn't paying attention.
"Hehe, it seems that it likes you very much too." Andusia covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Thinking about it this way, Danterian is actually very talented as a trainer. Even before she went to the academy, she can do many things that ordinary people can't do."
"Does sister Andusia know much about the 'courtyard'?"
"I know a little. There are many 'courtyards' in the Twin Trees Star Region where I was born, and there are even courtyards that train fairy dragons, a rare creature..." She fell into memories.
"Some supernatural creatures have a longer lifespan than humans, so breeders will also let elves with longer lifespans take on the role."
"The scales of the fairy dragon, the feathers of the flame-browed parrot, and the scale powder of the guard moth are all famous local specialties. Some are used to prepare supernatural elixirs, and some are used for some secret medicines to treat diseases. The supernatural properties contained in them are difficult to produce by mechanical assembly line, so the price has always been very high."
"The ability of the diva can not only work on people, but also has a good effect on pacifying supernatural creatures. Danterian will indeed be much easier to take this path." She slowly said.
"I see." Heshia understood why Lady Isabel suggested that she go to the Iris Garden Academy. This would not only help her to train her talent as a diva in advance, but also make it easier to take a trainer as a deputy position, saving a lot of energy.
After communicating with Andusia, Heshia teased the round and cute kitten again before leaving work.
Half an hour later, holding a paper bag in her hand, Heshia stopped in front of her house because there were two familiar figures in front of her.
"You guys?" She looked at the two of them with a little curiosity, because the underground of Arpeggio City has been cleared and most of the people in the underground world have been imprisoned.
"It's us." Blue came out, and Huck beside him began to explain.
"At that time, the boss had difficulty getting away, so he asked us to help the young lady find the whereabouts of your father." He explained what happened that day and what Qiao Long said.
"So that's how it is. No wonder you never came to me to get the potion back." Heshia was thoughtful.
"Since you came to me, do you have any clues?"
"We haven't found anything about your father's whereabouts yet. Maybe we have too few contacts. Maybe the young lady will have to find another way in the future."
"However, we have some clues about the origins of your parents and some things in the past. I wonder if the young lady is interested."
"Well, then tell me." The girl walked over, brushed open the door of her house, and asked the two to sit in the living room for a while.
"Okay." Huck quickly followed and patted Blue.
After the two sat down, Heshia poured them tea, and then sat opposite and listened carefully.
"It's like this..." Huck talked about his recent experience, how he escaped from the underground, and then came into contact with some night-time groups in Arpeggio City, and then mixed in.
Night-time walkers generally refer to people who go out to parade at night. Most of them are empty inside and like excitement. They often go to nightclubs, street dance, rock, fight, racing, and gather for fun. These people like to dress strangely and are often the elements that give the police a headache in the city. Although they are not breaking the law, they are often on the verge of breaking the law.
"After getting to know each other, I asked about an acquaintance in the area where the young lady lived before, and then with his help, I found a retired old man, who was a staff member of the residential area where your parents lived back then..." Listening to Huck's story, the girl had to admire the social and self-acquaintance skills of this kind of people.
"Then I gradually got to know the old man, and finally got some memories of some things in the past at the wine table."
"Yeah." The girl nodded slightly.
"I wonder if your parents have mentioned the 'Jielou City' in the North Second District before."
"Jielou City?" The girl shook her head in confusion, having never heard of this name.
"Ordinary people may not know, because the Internet there is not well developed, uh, it is probably very conservative and traditional, and there is little news." Hake only recently learned about the news of 'Jielou City' on the Star Network.
"Jielou means 'to exhaust thousands of buildings like sails'. It is said that hundreds of years ago, when the North Second District had not yet declined, there were tall buildings there. Because the architectural style tended to be ancient oriental, the high-rise buildings stood one after another, like thousands of sails crossing the sea, and that is why it was named 'Jielou City'."
Today, human civilization all originated from the earth. Whether it is elves, humans, orcs, or the extremely rare mermaids, etc., each race has formed different cultures in the development. On the ancient earth, the sea also separated the east and west continents, forming different cultures.
However, in the protracted war of the fifth era, the countries of the eastern faction suffered serious damage, and later they were scattered all over the galaxy. Now there are oriental people in the Rose Federation, but the proportion is not large, about 5%-7%.
Listening to Hack's description of the ruined and old city, Heshia slowly recalled the scenes of her childhood. Indeed, her mother was different from the people around her. For example, she could make some snacks that she could hardly find on the Star Network. Her family often cooked oriental dishes. Occasionally, you could see one or two books with ancient handwriting.
Oriental-style things were not rare in the Federation. For example, the personal terminal in her hand was a product of the "Moyun Workshop" which was famous for its oriental style. But there were very few people like her mother who could really write oriental characters, read ancient books, play the piano, and cook dishes.
These were habits and hobbies that were usually developed in such a rich environment. Although Heshia was taught those square oriental characters when she was a child and could speak them, she rarely used them in life after all, and was not as proficient as her mother.
However, her mother did not seem to have the idea of letting her and her sister inherit these things. If the two sisters were interested and asked, she would teach them some. When naming, she also leaned towards the mainstream of the Federation, not like her own, and even asked Heshia not to have a surname in her name.
Heshiya is her common name. Tilan is a kind of nickname or a symbol of sustenance. Because of the emphasis on subtlety, she does not directly tell others that her name is Tilan. The girl often uses Heshiya when introducing herself. Only those who are close to her will call her Tilan.
Jielou City... The girl slowly read this name in her heart.
"This is all the information we know about your mother. We may have to go to Jielou City for a detailed investigation before we can take the next step."
"Well, I understand." The girl nodded slightly.
"But your life is not easy now, so you can put the investigation aside for now." Anyway, it has been nearly 20 years, and one or two years is not a big deal.
"Thank you for your understanding, Miss." Huck nodded quickly. It seems that this girl is a very easy person to get along with.
After sending the two away, Heshiya returned to the bedroom and continued to search for the things left by her parents in the past, but unfortunately she didn't find much. After all, she has lived there for more than ten years, and it is impossible that there are any hidden objects that she doesn't know about.
"I can only look for information about 'Jielou City' on the Internet." The girl closed the drawer full of miscellaneous items, then turned on the personal terminal projection next to her and began to search.
Soon after entering the keywords, pictures and texts appeared one after another.
"The disappeared ancient city of Jielou - do you know the glorious legend of four hundred years ago?"
"'Painted with blue and red, holding cold weapons, waving flags and dancing' - the night watchmen who play the role of gods in the ancient city."
"Ignorance or conservatism? Those who have been trapped in the ruins of the city all their lives..."
In the picture, abandoned high-rise buildings stand in the diffuse clouds, cold and desolate, but the prosperity and grandeur of the past can be vaguely seen.
