The half-enclosed stove in the room is burning with firewood, and the scent of trees and fireworks overflows, giving people a different feeling.

On the sofa next to the stove, Ti Lan had just finished taking a shower, leaning her slightly steamy feet against the stove, watching the faint moisture rise like curling green smoke, and the flames baked the soles of her feet, sending a little warm touch.

The world outside the house is piled up with snowflakes, and it's the end of August, and it's still winter in the southern hemisphere, which is the opposite of the north.

After evaporating the moisture from her feet, Tilan retracted it, put on warm stockings, and then moved the stove and leaned it against her desk to warm her surroundings.

Leaning back on the comfortable recliner, Ti Lan looked at the book in front of her, occasionally picked up a pen, wrote and drawn, and made notes.

Two hours later, Ti Lan put her books and notes aside, leaned back on the chaise longue, her legs curled up, feeling the slight heat of the side of the chaise longue, and then leaned sideways to look at the red flame in the stove, a little sleepiness welling up, her eyes half-open and half-closed, and then fell into a quiet sleep, her chest rising and falling slightly.

Since the end of the patent war a month ago, the battle between Edus and St. Ingo has been put to a halt, and both sides are re-examining and thinking about the possibilities for the future, and whether they can afford to launch a large-scale patent war.

Although 'Isiel' lost a lot of property and capital, because of the two patents, the merger has a lot of advantages, after Yimi officially inherited the company, many companies on Edest's side have provided financial and human assistance, as well as new plant construction, production line construction, etc., which made 'Ichel' recover quickly.

Of course, this assistance was not without cost, so Imi had to relinquish some of his shares and re-establish the board of directors to form a new 'Ichel'.

At present, everything is slowly on the right track, with the support of the members of Edest's camp, it is likely that next year 'Ixier' will be able to restore the past production capacity, and the products under its name will be more advantageous, not weaker than the 'Gray Mountain Rock' under the 'Universal' group.

Taking advantage of this time, Ti Lan has a rare leisure, can read a book, be in a daze, and occasionally take a peaceful nap, without thinking about too complicated things.

Seeing that the girl was asleep, the maid who was silently waiting on one side of the room brought a thin blanket and covered the girl, and then lowered the curtain halfway to prevent the snow outside from being too dazzling.

The firewood crackled, a small number of sparks burst out, and then quickly dissipated, and in the courtyard outside the window, scattered snowflakes drifted, and occasionally heavy snow slipped from the trees and fell into the snow.

Although human beings have entered the space age, they still like such natural beauty, which is probably some kind of instinct engraved in the genes, just like sleeping on a rainy day is more solid and comfortable, because in ancient times, hunters would not come out to move when it rained, which meant that the environment was very safe.

Human beings have really developed civilization for only tens of thousands of years, and in the past, human beings and the ancestors of many mammals have lived under the harsh oppression of dinosaurs, probably living like mice, for this reason, most of the creatures of the genus are born and die quickly, and even under the pressure of survival, they can only live at night and underground for a long time, so they have degraded their trichromatic vision and become a vision that can only see black and white. Nowadays, the trichromatic vision of some mammals is actually acquired again, and it is not perfect, and some animals, such as canines, still only have two-color vision, and can only watch black and white TV.

In addition, in the past, only the mammals, a single seedling, survived, and it can be said that they spent more than 100 million years on the verge of life and death.

The evolution and evolution of life is the precipitation of past history, and so is the form of civilization today.

After taking a long nap, Ti Lan slowly opened her eyes, stretched her legs up, and then stood up slightly lazily and sat upright on the wooden chair beside her.

After closing her eyes and thinking about what else she had planned and had been going on lately, the girl stood up, first changed into a comfortable and decent winter dress, and then put on her boots and went out.

"Where is Miss Tilan going?" The maid who helped the girl open the door asked.

"Go to a friend." Ti Lan waved her hand softly, said goodbye to the two maids, and then sat down in the small flying machine waiting outside, and then the flying machine lifted off into the air, and soon took her to fly south 1 and travel into the distance.

Leaving the bustling city of the first district in the south, this small aircraft shuttles through the stratus clouds, and the slightly chubby fuselage makes it look a little cute, although the speed is not as good as that of large military aircraft, but it is better than being light in size and can be parked anywhere, which is very convenient.

About an hour later, the aircraft landed in front of a forest castle in the middle of a mountain cliff, and slowly descended, and the white walls of the castle were beautiful against the red leaves.

Jumping off the plane, Tilan's feet creaked in the snow, and then walked towards the castle, and after a few steps, the gate opened, and several maids came out to greet her.

"Lord Tilan." They saluted, then raised their heads.

Despite the slight difference in hair color, these maids have almost uniform bright red pupils, which are as beautiful as rubies, but also give a vague sense of aggression.

Four maids escorted Tilan into the castle, where it was a little warmer, the fire in the fireplace in the spacious and ornate hall was blazing, and the other two maids brought hot tea to Tilan and placed it on the coffee table in front of her.

"Please wait, Lord Tilan, we have sent someone to wake up Miss Dye Belle, she is waking up, and she will be able to see you in about 20 minutes."

"Well, it's fine." The girl took the fragrant black tea, nodded slightly, took a sip, and then put it down.

It's a little hot, but it's better to drink it again if it's cold, she said with a complaining heart.

After sitting in the hall for a while, Dye Belle walked down the stairs with a slightly hurried step, and came to Tilan, who bowed her head a little ashamedly.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm late."

"Let's sit down first." After Dye Belle sat down, Tilan blinked her eyes and looked at the light-pink 'girl' in front of her.

Although Dye Belle looks only about 18 years old on the outside, Ti Lan knows that the real age of the other party is far more than that, it should be a blood clan that has lived for a long time, and their ancient descendants can be said to be rare creatures in the interstellar era.

"How's the recovery, Dye Belle." Tilan asked.

"Now the recovery is almost complete, and it is gradually returning to the peak."

As she spoke, Dye Belle raised her palm, a flash of bright red flashed on her fingernails, and then a blood-red magnificent sphere slowly appeared, this sphere constructed by pure magic power was very beautiful, like thousands of red cascading gems, exuding a strange magical aura.

Since the last time he fought with Dye Belle and subdued the other party, this descendant of the ancient blood clan has cured the sequelae in his bloodline with the help of Tilan, and then entered a state of sleep and repair, about 2 years later, and now he is gradually waking up.

Feeling the blood-red and magnificent ball of magic in front of her, Tilan's eyes also reflected a faint red.

It's probably the strength of Sequence 7, but Tilan hasn't seen many Sequence 7s, and she doesn't have too intuitive feelings about what stage Dye Belle is in front of her among the transcendents of Sequence 7.

Shouldn't it be weak? She blinked, and her eyes returned to clarity, blue as a lake, quiet and clear.

After that, Ti Lan asked Dye Belle in detail about some things about the ancient race, as well as some information about the early days of the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Field.

"When I came to the Jade Skirt, it had actually developed here, and the Federation had not yet started a civil war, and the factions and forces in the Jade Skirt did not have the 'royal faction' and 'starship faction' that they have now, most of them are now called the 'local faction' and a small number of 'crystal mining factions'." Dye Belle slowly recalled.

"There will be no nativist name, because they are the emerging forces on the planet, and there is cooperation with each other, but also competition and friction."

"The Crystal Mine Sect is found in many star fields, and most of them are very low-key, and they generally do not participate in the power struggles within each star field, and only need to dig out the special ores they need."

"What Your Highness wants to know about the early history of the Four Leaf Crystal, I will compile it into information and send it to you later."

Later, Tiran asked Dye Belle about her own race and how it was now distributed in the Federation.

"This, I don't know, although our existence is very similar, but we are also very different from each other, not as everyone thinks, it is a tightly knit organization, in fact, it is very scattered, and even there is very little contact with each other."

After knowing the situation, Ti Lan did not continue to ask.

Later, Dye Belle asked the maids in the castle to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Tilan, and before leaving, she asked if she needed some maids as helpers.

"These maids are all descendants of our family, their strength is between Sequence 5 and Sequence 6, and because of the special bloodline, with the blessing of the bloodline ability, they will be stronger than the transcendents of the same level, and they can also perform many special tasks."

"Well......" Tilan thought for a moment, then nodded.

She does need some help, although she is currently the core of Edest's camp, the star-studded singer, and the student president, many of these groups are also on her side because of interests, and it is difficult to say that they are absolutely loyal, while the ancient ethnic group like Dye Belle is different, they are more dependent on the political asylum brought by Tilan.

As a race different from the original humans, living in the Federation is a gray field, between legal and illegal, if it is too high-profile, it is easy to attract the investigation of the Inquisition, if there is Tilan's guarantee and protection, as long as they don't do too outrageous things, the people of the Inquisition will not come to trouble them.

"Great~ Thank you, Your Highness." Seeing Ti Lan nodding in agreement, Dye Belle revealed joy in her rare words.

Although she can enter the Edes Academy and live as a student, it doesn't mean that these maids in the castle can, many of them can't get the normal status in the Federation, and their abnormalities are difficult to pass the test in the face of some strict occasions, so even if the strength of these maids is not bad, and the age is not young, but many people have never left this castle, either doing some simple work, or spending their time in deep sleep.

Is there such a joy Ti Lan felt the heartfelt joy emanating from Dye Belle's heart, and after some inquiry, she understood the situation.

"If that's the case, I can help." Tilan nodded slightly.

After hearing the news, the maids in the castle, or the girls, were surprised and happy, and screams and laughter rang out everywhere, and then under the guidance and command of Dye Belle, these maids gradually suppressed the excitement in their hearts and gradually gathered together.

The bronze candle was lit and placed in the hall of the castle, the lights were bright, and girls in white clothes and dark red maid dresses were standing, there were about 70-80 of them, of which about 50 were Blood Pupil Sequence 5, the other 12 were Blood Pupil Sequence 6, and Dye Belle, who was the princess of the Blood Clan, was Blood Pupil Sequence 7.

The dresses on these girls, although the style is a maid's skirt, are exceptionally finely made, with atmospheric black and white lapels, a roll-up print like dark red roses on the cuffs, and a maid's long skirt on the lower body, like a dark red rose that spreads on a pure white background, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an ancient aristocratic lady.

But considering the situation in the ancient court, the maids around the princess were really the daughters of nobles, and their duties were closer to the princess's deputies and female officials than to servants doing manual work.

In contrast, Ti Lan, who is wearing a black and blue dress, is a little simple, but her own appearance and temperament can also suppress the maids in front of her, so that her status will not be reversed.

"Do you want it all?" Seeing these maids gathered in the hall, Ti Lan's voice was a little surprised, she thought at first that Dye Belle was just stuffing five or six maids into herself, but the number of people gathered in the hall was almost 80.

I know that Ti Lan didn't think about it so much, but Dye Belle also knew that it would be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future, if she didn't pack it out all at once, with Ti Lan's quiet and conservative personality, she probably wouldn't have the next time she asked for someone.

"It's okay, everyone is willing to contribute their strength to His Highness." Dye Belle and strike while the iron is hot.

"Well, in that case, I'll ask the Inquisition." Now that she had spoken, Ti Lan couldn't disappoint the girls in front of her, and promised to ask about the situation.

After spending the night at the castle, Tilan returned to the South 1st the next day, this time contacting the Inquisition and asking about the Dye Belle family.

"Indeed, as she said, I don't think I dare to deceive you at this point." Sitting relaxed on the couch, Ameranda answered Tilan's inquiry, the inquisition's high-ranking investigator who now seemed to be living an extraordinarily lazy life in the South 1st District.

Dye Belle took into account the investigation of the trial court when she made suggestions to Tilan, but since she dared to say it, she also knew the judgment criteria of the trial court very well, so she had this confidence.

"Our Inquisition has the task of monitoring the living conditions of these alienated ethnic groups in the Federation, and in accordance with the laws of the Federation, if they have thoughts and behaviors that lead to secession, betrayal, or independence, they must be strictly controlled, and the Inquisition has the duty to maintain the integrity and unity of the Federation."

If the singer is the spiritual bond of the Federation, then the Inquisition is the material bond that maintains the integrity and unity of the Federation, since the end of the Civil War, most of the influence left by Amuralin has remained in the institutional organization of the Inquisition, they are the sword hanging inward, warning and monitoring all kinds of activities in the shadows of the Federation, if it is an ordinary federal resident, it is almost unaware of the existence of this organization, but for those in the gray field, the Inquisition is undoubtedly frightening and frightening.

Even Ti Lan didn't know how many Inquisition guards and informants she had around her, but she hadn't heard of a single singer assassinated or kidnapped since at least 200 years ago.

Although it is not clear how many people are placed in the court, Tilan can still judge the people who are in frequent contact, there should be no people from the court, it seems that they are also very familiar with the ability of the singer, and the general protection personnel are strangers in the life of the singer, just like a roadside pedestrian on the way to school, you won't talk to him, and you don't know when he will suddenly come to protect you.

"Regarding applying for a new status, there is no problem here, in fact, Ti Lan doesn't have to be so worried, this is actually a very small matter for Ling's current status." Ameranda's words made the girl realize once again how influential and invisible power the singer had in the Federation.

It seems that the rumors in the past should be true, that is, Her Royal Highness Amuralin has pardoned billions of alien descendants and allowed them to reintegrate into federal life, of course, the specific process and cost are unknown.

The procedure was quickly completed, and a week later, these blood maids who had obtained their new identities were excited and excited to board the aircraft and come to the most prosperous south area of the jade skirt, and when they walked through the street holding hands, they also attracted the curious and envious eyes of many passers-by.

These girls are real sequence 5 transcendentals, characters that ordinary people can not reach.
