40. A trip to Finland

Finland is located in northern Europe, bordering Sweden, Norway and Russia, the Gulf of Finland to the south and the Gulf of Bothnia to the west. The coastline is 1100 km long. The inland water area accounts for 10% of the country's area, with about 179,000 islands and 188,000 lakes.

Finland is the most forested country in the world, accounting for about two-thirds of the total area, and the vast expanse of forests and beautiful lakes make Finland a fairytale beauty, and the Edfield family's castle is built next to a tranquil lake.

From the moment she stepped off the plane, the air she breathed was cold and fresh with the characteristic Finnish coldness, which was refreshing and open compared to the murky air under the foggy skies of London.

Geographically, Finland and the United Kingdom are both island countries, but they feel completely different from the towns and scenery they pass by, with an authentic natural atmosphere and a new and unique architectural design beauty.

It is full of the vitality of Finnish national culture and region.

"This is my country, how do you feel, Xiao Zi?" Anne asked, smiling, leaning against the window, the wind blowing from the window ruffled her long hair, but she let it go.

"I like it here, teacher, whether it's the air or the landscape, it's like a country in a fairy tale." Purple praised Finland from the bottom of her heart.

"I'm glad you said that the beauty of Finland only blooms to those who cherish and appreciate it." Anne's words were filled with pride.

"Well, welcome to Finland, welcome to the house of Edfeldt, my dear disciple."

In a welcoming gesture, Anne spread her hands.

After the roar of the gallop, the vehicle picked up by Edfeldt's family arrived at its destination.

But only the car stopped on the outskirts of the forest, and there was also a very powerful barrier around Edfeldt's house, which could block malicious intruders and lost people who strayed into the vicinity, but the servants who served in the castle did not know this, and they had another set of explanations and backup measures for them, and Purple also knew this, and followed Anne into the forest closely.

The forest is actually not wide and dense, and when the castle suddenly appears in Purple's field of vision, even if she has been mentally prepared, Purple suddenly held her breath.

The outer part of the castle looks white and gray, standing there, imposing, with triangles and cones on the top, the colors are both vivid and heavy, the lines on it tell the mottled history, the sky and clouds behind it, as if the background of a painting, and the castle is embedded in the middle of the natural giant painting, seamless.

It is almost a masterpiece of artifice, a wonderful combination of natural and human architecture.

Anyone who sees it can't help but be amazed.

"Keep up." Anne waited for a moment in a daze, then pulled him on.

At the gate of the castle, a group of people were waiting for Anne and Purple.

At the front of the greeting procession is a woman in a blue dress, similar in appearance to Anne, but with a more mature and stable temperament, it is Anne's sister Alina, who is also the current head of the Edfield family.

"Sister, it's been a while, you've become more beautiful." Anne said in a long-awaited tone, hugging Alina and kissing her on the cheek.

Alina also calmly hugged her sister with her backhand and kissed each other.

"Uh...... It's a good relationship. Zi glanced away slightly.

The Western way of expressing emotions is not restrained and subtle, and the eager physical contact is nothing, and Purple is also used to this situation in the clock tower, but he still feels a little awkward, but the sisters seem to be intimate and make him a little surprised, remembering that the Edfield family was a sister during the Third World War, did they learn a lesson and began to unite, that is gratifying.

I chatted with Anne for a long time, and although Purple quietly kept a low profile, Alina still remembered Purple.

"Lord Aozaki, I have heard about you from Anne for a long time, welcome to the Edfeldt house."

"It is my honor to be invited, and I ask for your kind attention." Purple hurriedly replied.

"Okay, don't praise it hypocritically, sister, you can call him by his name, as for Xiaozi, you can call your sister." Anne interrupted the conversation impatiently.

"Sister...... Well, it's better than my aunt or something. Purple obediently called her sister, and then entered the castle.

The interior of the castle is exactly as Purple imagined, with expensive furniture, luxurious carpets, soft sofas and a huge dining table, and the furniture is arranged in a way that shows the depth of the owner's heritage, not like a nouveau riche patchwork.

Anne knew the castle well, and from time to time she explained the origin of the utensils and the function of the room to Zi, and just as she reached the second floor, a little girl stumbled over and bumped into Alina's arms.

"Luvia, I told you not to run around, why are you disobedient?"

The servants followed, apologizing in fear.

The little girl just hugged Alina tightly and refused to let go of her hand.

"It's Luvia, I can't walk if I haven't seen her for a year, but I still like to stick to my sister."

Anne leaned over and teased the little girl. However, Luvia did not appreciate it, grabbed her mother's dress, and grinned at Anne.

"Is she Luvia?" Purple observed the little girl with some curiosity.

Luvia Greta Edfield was about two years old at this time, more than half of her height in purple, wearing a cute princess dress in children's clothes, with pale gold pigtails on her head, bright and clear eyes, and red cheeks, just trying to pretend to be fierce and give people a cute feeling.

Coaxed Luvia, Luvia didn't appreciate it, and Alina, who was not very patient, had to reluctantly let the servant pick up Luvia and follow her.

"Make the guests smile, Annie." Alina can't do anything with her daughter.

"It's okay, Xiao Zi is not an outsider, I think Luvia is vigilant and brave at such a young age, and she will definitely be an elite warrior when she grows up." Anne gave Purple a look, and Purple nodded in agreement.

"But courage is not a good thing, it seems that it will be a little longer for Luvia to learn the manners of a lady, Anne, if you have time, teach her too."

Alina talked about Luvia's education and introduced her daughter to Xia Zi, but Luvia just glared at Xia Zi and turned her head arrogantly.

“…… What a temper. ”

Of course, Purple couldn't deal with the little girl, so she took out a soft chocolate piece and handed it to her tentatively.

Luvia looked at Purple suspiciously, stretched out her little hand and snatched the chocolate, said thank you in a milky voice, and ignored Purple.

Then Purple gave up communication with her completely, and she wouldn't have coaxed the little girl, so forget it, but Anne and Alina glanced at each other and smiled slylyly.

Anne's pace slowed down a few steps, and then she came to Purple's side: "Little Purple, did you fail to communicate with the little girl?" Don't be discouraged, children are like that. ”

"I know, I don't take it to heart." Purple thought that Anne was here to comfort him, so she told her not to worry.

"Will you, then, marry her as your wife in the future?" Anne asked, seemingly casually.

"What? She's only two years old, so I'm not going to throw her into a fire pit...... Oh no, I mean, I'm kidding, I'm so much older than her, it's impossible! Purple almost jumped in shock.

In terms of age, Luvia is almost twelve years younger than him, such a big age gap, not to mention the generation gap and hobbies, even Luvia herself can't accept this fact.

"Twelve years, it's not an insurmountable obstacle for magicians, since Xiaozi's attitude is so intense, let's not talk about it for the time being." Anne didn't insist on it.

As for Alina and the other servants, they all heard Purple's cry, but they didn't react.

"...... temporarily?" Purple, who had barely calmed down, caught the suspicion.

"It's a long time, so let's enjoy the Finnish New Year first, Xiao Zi." Anne didn't say anything more, patted Purple on the head, and sped up to catch up with Alina.

Purple froze in place.

What does the teacher mean...... Don't you give up this will, no?
