Hopland has been a lot quieter recently, and what happened in the Helis family and the Nixos family some time ago has slowly stopped in heat, and the days seem to be back to the past.

If you are careful, you will find that the young master of the Nyssos family has been to the Tisiphone house several times recently, and although the two families are in-laws, this frequency is also much higher than before. The family had recently lost many orders, and the family's only fleet had been sent to a distant land, supposedly to import some rare brewing ingredient to break the situation and re-establish its reputation.

That night, the 'Blossom Beach' cold drink shop.

Although it was already night, there were still some customers under the bright yellow light, and perhaps some of them just liked the atmosphere of this candlelit dinner.

I could see two or three couples talking softly to each other, and in the dim candlelight, each other's faces seemed to become beautiful, and they were talking sweet words, and from time to time there were a few laughs.

Lorain Hill pushed open the door and walked to the bar, she was wearing a black hooded robe, two strands of long blonde hair peeking out from between the hats, her face hidden in the shadow of the hood, revealing only her fair and delicate chin.

Lan Li'er, who was sitting in the store, saw it, and waved her hand and asked her to come directly.

In the past few days, the two have been relatively familiar with each other, and Lorain Hill walked over with a little curiosity.

"Lacey, you're finally here, I thought you weren't going." Lan Li'er said a little exaggeratedly.

"No, since I said yes, I'll come, and it should be on time now."

"It's punctual, but it's hard to say on the road, and if the carriage blocks the road, we'll have to run over."

"Alright, let's go now." After saying that, Lan Lier pulled Lorain Hill out of the store, and then turned two corners and came to a turning alley.

There was a black carriage parked in the alley, which looked very well decorated, with wheels made of rubber and shock absorbers at the bottom.

Then Lan Li'er pulled the girl into the carriage, and the coachman who had been waiting for a long time didn't ask any more questions, and immediately let the horse move, and the wheels turned with it.

On the carriage, Lan Lier looked at Lorain Hill on the opposite side and asked curiously.

"Lacey, did you agree to the teacher's invitation, she asked me to wait for you tonight and go to the theater with you."

"Not yet, but I'd like to try it first." Loren Hill is still curious about the world, and there are many things he wants to try, so it's also interesting, isn't it?

"Alas~ Let me rejoice in the air, I thought I would be able to perform on the same stage with you in the future." Lan Li'er pretended to be annoyed, her hands on her cheeks, her mouth pursing slightly.

"Does Lan Lier like to perform?"

"I like it very much, my favorite thing besides alchemy is to stand on the stage in bright clothes and listen to the cheers of the audience, watch them go crazy for me, watch them fall for me, watch them scream and cheer for me."

Lan Li'er pointed to her eyebrows with her index finger, her right eye was slightly closed, her left eye looked at Lacey, and then her index finger turned her wrist to point to the front of her face, and she crossed a 90° arc in the air, and a small golden star flew out of her fingertips, bloomed in the air, and then dissipated.

"Dangdang~ Big star Lan Lier appeared."

Looking at this funny scene, Lacey couldn't help but smile.

The two chatted for a while, and then Lacey became familiar with the script and sheet music again, and before she knew it, the carriage had arrived at the back door of the theater.

"Aina, they should be early, we need to hurry." Lan Lier led Lacey in front.

There are many people coming and going in the backstage corridors of the theater, some carrying props, some wearing strange clothes, and some actors with dye-covered faces, each looking distinctive. The two eventually walked into a dressing room, where there were a number of girls, many of them doing makeup in front of the mirror, and some of them helping their companions sort out their headgear and inspect the costumes for the show.

"Lan Li'er, you're finally here, I thought you were going to be late."

"No, I'm going to pick up a new companion. She'll be singing behind us today."

"Alas... Is this young lady going to participate in the performance today, I often meet her in the store these days, but unfortunately I don't know what her name is. ”

"Her talent is really good, the last time I heard her sing on the second floor, I thought it was a famous singer."

"According to Sensei Filia, she will probably be the lead singer of the next festival."

"Really, it is said that at every festival, it is the famous singers of the mainland who are qualified to take the stage."

"It's true, because I think her singing is even better than Frost who came to Hopeland before."

"I think so too, that time I practiced dancing late, and I almost cried when I was alone in the locker room."

"I didn't expect Rika to cry too, haven't you always thought you have a talent for singing?"

"There's no way, the gap is too big, I can't afford to be jealous, if Teacher Filia says that this is the level of Cang no Geji, then I will also believe it."

......

"Okay, if you have time to chat, you might as well help me tidy up the irises on my head, this is so troublesome." A girl in a white dress was struggling with a complicated headdress, and finally couldn't help the gossip of her companion.

"Who made you the heroine today. Clothes and decorations are just a lot. Two girls chirped to help the girl in the white dress straighten up her headgear.

Lan Lier led Lacey into a quiet little dressing room next to her.

-----------------

A day ago, the land of the west wind, the wind rested in the wilderness.

As the heart of the kingdom and the origin of the west wind, this land is very rich.

Under the mirror-blue sky, the verdant grass ripples in the breeze and spreads into the distant sky.

Suddenly, a horse's hoof stepped on the grass, and there was a faint flash of electric light on it, and when the horse's hoof was raised, the grass that had been stepped on had a scorched yellow trace.

A group of knights in bright armor came from the west, their white and sharp knights' spears pointing to the sky like neat poles, and their silver shields were intertwined with lightning and sharp swords.

This group of knights is not very numerous, only more than 700 people, uniformly dressed in bright silver armor, and under the crotch is a black war horse, the mane of the war horse is dark blue, and there is an electric light flow in between.

They galloped across the land at great speed. Occasionally, a few grassland rabbits emerge from their holes, and before they have time to dodge, they are already whistling past and disappearing, leaving only scorched hoof prints.

Spanning a distance of 1,000 kilometers, it only takes one day, and its sound is like thunder, and its momentum is like lightning.
