Chapter Ninety-One: Knights of Lightning
After being invited by Lady Philia last time, Lorain Hill came to this cold drink shop again.
Pushing open the door of 'Flower Beach', there are still several maid ladies standing in the store.
"Welcome~" A maid stepped forward to welcome.
"Hello, is Lady Filia there?" Lorain Hill asked.
"Yes, please come with me, the teacher has commanded me."
In the dance studio on the second floor of 'Blossom Beach', Lady Filia is instructing some girls on posture and rhythm issues, holding a delicate silk folding fan, and explaining the main points to these students in detail.
After a while, she finished her coaching.
"Curious?" Lady Felia watched as Lorain Hill stood beside her for a moment.
"Well, they're the maids in the store, and one of them led me in at the gate yesterday."
"Yes, but maids are only their occasional job."
Lady Philia led Lorain Hill up to the third floor.
"Actually, they were all students who studied music, dance and interpretation with me, and they often went to the theater to perform. I'm not short of money, so I'll let them work in the store on a regular basis, which can be regarded as paying for tuition. ”
It's very powerful, Lorain Hill thought to herself, most of these girls have good family backgrounds, beautiful appearances, and well-maintained skin, and being used as clerks is a dimensionality reduction blow to other peers, no wonder business is so good.
"Do you want to try to be a maid for a while, too?" Lady Felia said with a smirk.
"Don't~" Loren Hill shook his head cutely, he didn't want to go, he was too ashamed.
"Giggle~ is very in line with your character."
"How about it, have you thought about what you said yesterday?"
"Well, I've thought about it, but I still have some doubts." Lorain Hill sat on the couch across from Lady Philia.
"I haven't performed on stage after all, so isn't that too hasty, after all, the festival is watched by the whole city."
Lorain Hill was a little nervous when he said the word "whole city".
"Are you afraid that you will make a mistake if you are nervous?" Lady Felia saw her uneasiness.
"Hmm."
"Don't worry about this kind of thing~ Little Lacey." Lady Felia blinked.
"You just need to stand on the stage and say that it is your first time on stage, you are nervous, and if there is anything wrong, please forgive me, so that's it."
"That's ...... Is it okay? Lorain Hill was a little unconvinced, whether this was too arrogant and willful.
"Well, because I'm reluctant to talk about you, even if I'm a singer, I will love you when I see you, not to mention those ordinary people who have little resistance."
"I'm afraid you don't know how lethal your face is."
Lady Filia stared at the slightly restrained girl in front of her, her every move revealed a kind of girlish youthfulness, innocence and loveliness, which made people feel pity.
"This ......" Lorain Hill didn't know how to answer, and felt that no matter how he answered, he was a little boastful.
"Okay, but I don't know exactly what the process and program of the festival is, this matter has always been the responsibility of the alliance's industry union."
"It's not that difficult, the Dew Festival originated in the Chaos War thousands of years ago. The original White Flower Saintess Durlan led the people to hold on to this harbor during the war, repelled the impact of the Chaos Shadow several times, and finally waited for reinforcements to come across the sea. ”
"The small harbor was also famous because of this, and since then it has slowly developed, and now it has become a famous commercial city in the south."
"In honor of St. Durran, a grand dew festival is held in Hopland every three years, and many people from the Seven Kingdoms of Snowflower come to watch the ceremony, and it will be very lively."
Then Lady Philia began to tell the story of the festival, and Lorain Hill listened quietly.
"Is it roughly clear?"
"yes, I see."
"Okay, if you're afraid of singing mistakes, why don't you try it tonight?"
"Tonight?"
"Yes, there will be an opera in the city's theater tonight, and Lan Lier will also participate. You're going to do the singing behind the scenes, so you don't have to show up, and you just sing against the sheet and the script, so it's not too difficult, so how about you experience it first? ”
Hearing this, Lorain Hill's heart was relieved, and he wanted to try it a little.
"Okay, may I ask which opera it is?"
"A very famous opera, I'm sure you've heard of it again, telling the story of the origin of the famous Knights of Lightning - "Thor's Genealogy""
"Well, that legendary man is the dream of many teenagers."
------------------------------
The Land of the West Wind, Saw Valley City.
Groups of rebels marched through the city, constantly taking over the control of various points in the city, and the head of the city was also replaced with the banner of gold stars on a blue background.
The collapsed city gate was moved aside, the city walls were full of gaps and collapsed places, black smoke was still rising from many places in the city, and corpses were moved to designated places by special personnel to prepare for cremation to avoid the plague.
Pullman and a few companions climb the city's towers to look down on the scarred city.
"It's not easy, no one expected Count Heman's will to resist so tenaciously." A strong man in thick armor said.
"Well, the land around Saw Valley City is fertile and rich in rye, and it is an important granary of the kingdom, and Count Heman is a good person, and the people's living standards are much better than those in the surrounding areas, so it is no wonder that there is such a strong will to resist." A handsome young man next to him said.
"It's a pity that he's a diehard faction of Zephyr, and we can only stand on the opposite side."
Pullman remembered that when the city was broken, the earl who swore to fight to the death was a little embarrassed, although he was an enemy, he couldn't help but admire him.
"The west wind has festered from the roots, and it cannot be changed by one or two good nobles, nor can we pin our hopes and futures on personal morality." One of the diminutive figures said that his figure was hidden under his cloak and his face could not be seen clearly.
"Yes, I can only bury him. By the way, does Count Heman have any descendants?" Pullman asked.
"All four of his sons were killed in battle, and only one 12-year-old daughter, who was hiding in the cellar under the protection of a nanny, was just caught by searching soldiers this morning." The handsome young man replied.
"Tolan, give the nanny a sum of money and let her go, and then we can find an elder with a good personality to take care of her."
"Okay." Tolan agreed, knowing that if he was left to his nanny to take care of him, he would only create an enemy. Although they do not shy away from what they do, they also do not want to see this child go to the bottom and the opposite of themselves.
"Before the fall of Saw Valley, Count Heman had already shipped most of his grain to the royal capital in the south. Now we don't have much food, we can only last a month, and the next autumn harvest will have two months, and this time is dangerous, Pullman. Tolan continued.
"I know." Pullman looked at the green wilderness of the south for a long time before he spoke.
"But I'm more worried about the Zephyr being desperate to dispatch the elite who guarded the Chaos Vortex, the legendary Knights."
"But there's no going back, can we?" Tolan sighed.
"I can only keep moving forward, even if I am facing the famous heroic legend on the continent, the thunderous lightning knights."
