After some discussion, Esther shot the "penal Helena penal colony" proposed by Mora Gault (this Esther resolutely opposed), "Harem Paradise" (this Esther verbally opposed, and deep down he yearns for it), "Celestial Punishment Camp" (this Esther said that the pressure is high, and I don't know who will punish whom) and "Urir Sulanis" (according to Mora Gault, the name of an ancient emperor of a powerful country, Esther said that he was unaware and resolutely opposed) and a series of other arbitrary names, Esther decided to imitate the Cologne family and give his half-plane a two-character name.

The half-plane of the Koren family will rise a red magic full moon at night, hence the name "Red Moon". Esther felt that his half-plane was full of wilderness overgrown with green weeds, so it might as well be called "Green Field". It just so happened that he also knew that the name of a movie was called "The Wizard of Oz". In the movie, there are a large number of various lives in "Green Field", living and reproducing, working and farming. Easter hopes that his half-plane will soon grow beyond the level of the film series, and have a certain production capacity.
As the first permanent inhabitants of the great "Greenfield" half-plane, Helena and daughter certainly did not know that at this time, the plane they were in finally had a new name.
All they know is that surviving here is not a difficult thing at all.
The speed of time in the half-plane of "Green Field" is only about one-tenth of that of Coronia.
While Esther was being pressed by Mora Gott on the soft and comfortable bed of the Seawolf Inn doing what she loved, Helena and her daughter had wandered around the deserted land for a day and a night.
The climate of "Green Field" is mild, and even without clothes, you will not feel a chill at night. In the same way, as long as you are sheltered from the shade of the trees, even if the afternoon sun is scorching, you can still feel the refreshing breeze.
In the grasslands here, there are always patches of trees popping up suddenly, and in the woods, almost every tree is full of fragrant wild fruits. Between the woods and the grasslands, small rivers and streams dot the landscape, like chains, dividing the earth into small pieces. In the clear water of the streams, fish, shrimp and shellfish of all sizes are cute and fearless, and they are readily available.
Although she is very unaccustomed to the current situation, and has never done the work of fishing and fruit picking, with Helena's skills, she still picked dozens of wild fruits very easily, and caught seven or eight silvery-white round scaleless fish three fingers wide and palm-long.
Little Mora, a pampered daughter since childhood, also behaved very sensibly, and when her mother was busy gathering, fishing and hunting, she worked hard to collect dry branches and grass leaves, put them in a pile, and set them on fire with a trick. It's a pity that this place has only been initialized for a few days after all, and the so-called dead branches and leaves are still damp, and the smoke that rises quickly smokes the little girl's white little face like a flower cat.
"Ahem, ahem!" Helena, who had no experience in cooking on a fire like her daughter, could only endure the choking smoke, insert the small fish with the internal organs on the branches, and lift it above the fire to roast.
Helena attended a picnic party for the ladies. That's how the servants make delicious barbecues. As smart as she is, although she doesn't pay too much attention, she still remembers the method of barbecuing food in the open air.
The small silver-white fish is round and contains a lot of fat in its body, which undergoes a chemical reaction when heated, and soon begins to emit a mouth-watering aroma.
Looking at her daughter, who was a little salivating on the side, Helena also felt hunger in her belly. The mother and daughter quickly eliminated Helena's poor craftsmanship and were deeply shocked by the deliciousness of the fish. She just picked up a few small fish at random, but they were scallopless and spiny, tender and juicy, and the taste even surpassed the fine barbecue made by famous chefs she had tasted before.
Children with their mothers by their side always don't have too much sorrow. So even though little Mora was old enough to be shy of the opposite sex, fatigue quickly knocked her down after filling her belly with delicious fish. A series of changes that have occurred from last night to the present are not clear to children of her age. After a while, she leaned on Helena and fell asleep sweetly.
Looking at her daughter's lovely sleeping position, Helena's heart was very uneasy. And because of himself, the daughter who was harmed suffered together. In this desolate place, there are no clothes, no houses, all kinds of daily necessities, no books and all kinds of entertainment.
Helena's biggest concern was that she would not be able to continue teaching her daughter. Because with the exception of the Zero Ring spell, any Ring spell requires casting materials to practice.
All she wants now is for Moura Gault to show up. When the time comes, even if she begs her in the most shameful way, let her allow her daughter to continue learning spells.
At the thought of being mercilessly humiliated by Mora Gault in various ways, Helena felt an irrepressible heat in her body. In the lower abdomen, it seems to be burning with a flame.
A chill came from the base of her legs, and Helena's face turned red. She hugged her daughter and lay down relaxed, the soft tender grass beneath her body was as pleasant as the most comfortable mattress, only with a few extra frictions that made her heart pound.
Helena stood waist-deep in the river, trying to wash little Mora's soot-covered hair (at home, this was the work of the servants), she had little experience in washing children's hair, only had some hazy memories. When she was very young, she had a gentle embrace, and she would also wash her hair like this.
Helena couldn't even remember if it was her mother. But she thinks it should be. She still remembered how frightened she looked when the old Duchess of Juniels, now her father-in-law, sent someone to find her and tell her that he had found her family.
She doesn't remember her mother anymore. After she betrayed Maura Gault and married into the family of the Duke of Pervas, her father, who mortgaged her, her father's successor, and her younger siblings all showed great concern for her. But her mother had died, just three years after she was mortgaged.
Helena gave her family the best of life, but was reluctant to meet them. In later days, she even took the initiative to ask her husband to send her family to a new plane occupied by the Pervas family, fearing that they would be harmed in Coronia. This kind of behavior that was close to handing over hostages made Juniels Pervas have to look at this daughter-in-law, who is almost forced to marry into the house. Coupled with the fact that she gave birth to two healthy and excellent children in a row, her status in the Duke's Palace, which was not prosperous, even surpassed that of Prague Pervas, who had no heirs to this day.
"Mom, it looks like a fish is touching me. "Children are always very "noisy" in the bath, and their attention is attracted by water. Her daughter is no exception. It was the first time that both mother and daughter had bathed bare-chested in a river, but to Helena's surprise, she was very comfortable with such a shameful behavior.
Maybe it's because she's back with Maura Gault, and Helena decides not to think about anything. From now on, she only needs to do two things, first, listen to Mora Gott, and second, take care of her daughter.
Helena, who was empty-minded, suddenly recalled a tune that her warm embrace would hum every night when she was very young.
"When my daughter grows up, she will remember it today. Helena hummed an unknown tune and bathed her daughter more gently.
The Customs Bazaar is the largest market in Colombo, and you can buy anything that is available in Colonnia.
Every day from morning to night, this super-large wholesale market in the port area is a bustling scene.
"Don't be in a hurry to buy building materials first. Just give them a tent. I don't think they have much hands-on skills. Mora Gault blocked Easter's intention to buy materials to build a house, and she didn't think that Helena and her daughter could build a house on top of a barren land. Building a house is a kind of work that requires strong professionalism, and without professionals, the house built is simply a dilapidated house, and even if you barely live in it, it will not last long.
"That's right, we can wait until Valentine to buy it. It is said that there is an abundance of things there, but it is more expensive than the prices in Coronia. ”
East wonders if his shopping list is comprehensive enough.
"Two large clay pots, five clay pots, ten bowls, twenty plates, ten sets of knives and forks, two sets of fireproof grills, one hundred kilograms of flour per bag, a total of fifty bags, one hundred kilograms of rice per bag, thirty bags in total, and a large jar of twenty liters of cooking oil, a total of five cans. ”
"There were also fifty kilograms of sugar, fifty kilograms of salt, three hundred kilograms of jerky, and a hundred kilograms of fifteen spices. Easter, are you really procuring supplies for the Climb to the White Tower? How do I feel like you're stockpiling war supplies? ”
"Of course, of course, are you prepared? Who knows what's going on inside the White Tower. Didn't you say that some unlucky ghosts will be trapped in the White Tower for a long time?"
Mora Gault glared at Esther angrily.
"How can we be trapped! With legendary powerhouses, everything is safe. I think you just don't want Helena's slut to suffer. These things are all going to be stored in the "Green Field", right?"
"Most of them are going to be stored in the Green Fields, but it's a good idea to bring plenty of them with your space gear as well. I've heard that in the White Tower, there is an area that is very different from the time flow of Coronia, just like the "Green Field". It is said that in the longest time, a group of contestants went around for a year, and when the results came out, they found that the harvest festival was not over. Since you have entrusted you and me with the task of preparing supplies, then we have to do it in place. ”
"Okay, okay. You survivalist. It's as if tomorrow there is a great catastrophe in the last days. I'm going to get it to Helena. If you look around, it's the largest wholesale market in Colombo. ”
"No, I'm not going to shop anymore. Why do you think I have a hobby of shopping!" Esther shook his head, making a very helpless expression.
"I'd better go back to the hotel early. There's one more thing for me to do, and that's to take in the old man Reynoldson and hopefully now he's been washed. Otherwise, I'd have found the ugliest woman in Colombo to ride him off. ”
