Chapter 15: The drizzle and breeze outside the study
Early in the morning, Ti Lan woke up from her sleep and looked at the time, it was about 7 o'clock in the morning.
Alas, is it so punctual, she thought to herself, and looked out the window, it will be a little dark soon.
Slowly sat up, Ti Lan was still a little sleepy, if she wanted to sleep, she would definitely be able to fall asleep, but she still had to ...... Today should be the weekend, so I don't have to go to class.
Thinking of this, Ti Lan touched the quilt, lay down again, and covered the quilt.
The quilt is so comfortable, let's sleep more.
Closing her eyes, the girl fell asleep again, and the next time she woke up, it was already past 9 o'clock.
Rubbing her eyes and lifting the quilt, she stepped on her slippers and came to the window, pulling open the curtains that only showed a little, and the scenery outside the window was completely revealed.
The sky was still overcast, and a cold breeze blew through the treetops, swaying with branches, and in the open windows, a cool breeze blew into the room, making people feel refreshed.
It's going to rain, Tilan thought to herself.
Since she moved to the ground in high school, she has slowly gained experience, and this cool breeze and overcast sky are not far from rain.
Inexplicably better, Ti Lan walked into the small room connected to the bedroom, which was her dressing room, and there were all kinds of clothes hanging in the cabinet on the side of the room, comfortable dresses for casual life, dresses suitable for formal occasions, uniforms issued by the school, and so on.
Tiptoe raised, tapping on the ground, Tilan's gaze swept over the clothes, wondering which one to wear today.
Some of these clothes were bought by herself, but more of them were sent directly by the partners, as long as they were worn, they were regarded as advertising, so there was no charge.
In this set, she chose a goose yellow dress, the neckline and skirt are embellished with a little dark blue ribbon, which looks very youthful and energetic, but the dark blue ribbon is slightly restricted, so that the goose yellow dress is not too frivolous, and it is very coordinated with each other.
She rarely wears yellow clothes.,It's not that she has any prejudices.,It's just that in high school,Edest's school style is mainly black and blue.,She's a representative of the school and a singer.,In public,The color of the clothes is often affected.,And Saint Ingo is golden-yellow-based.。
After changing her clothes, Tilan picked out another pair of comfortable strappy sandals to change into and walked out of the bedroom.
"Good morning, Lord Tilan." There were already two real red maids waiting outside, their uniforms were still red and black, with dark red roses on the sides of their skirts.
"Early." When Tilan responded, her eyes swept down the hallway to see that Geyin's room was still closed.
"Is Geyin up?"
"Miss Geyin hasn't gotten up yet." A maid replied, blinking her red eyes and asking with a hint of anticipation.
"Are you going to wake up Miss Geyin?"
"Not for now, but if you haven't gotten up at 11 o'clock, wake her up." Ti Lan shook her head, she felt that Ge Yin must have stayed up late last night.
Walking downstairs, I came to a side hall as a study to sit, here there are a lot of books on the wall on one side, the size of the space is comfortable, not as empty and luxurious as the main hall, but more life, so Tilan likes it here.
"Breakfast is already being prepared, just wait ten minutes." A maid replied.
"It's fine." Ti Lan was not in a hurry, just leaned back on the light gray cloth sofa, watched the grass outside the window being blown by the wind, and thought that the rain was about to fall.
"Open the window and let in some fresh air."
"Okay." A maid walked briskly, opened one side of the window a little, and then held it in place, the process was very light and quiet.
After watching the process, the girl remembered something and asked curiously.
"Have you been trained, you don't seem to make a sound when you walk."
"It's not hard to do after a little training." The other maid beside her replied.
"The bottoms of the shoes we wear are muffled to make noise, and we have learned a lot about combat, including silent infiltration."
"Sneak in, is this something that the maid has to learn?" Tilan was slightly surprised.
"Yes, in the ancient court, the maid was often the deputy of the mistress, helping with all kinds of issues, including but not limited to securing security, reviewing accounts, spying on intelligence, and so on."
"Wait a minute, when you say the ancient court, do you mean the True Red Empire of the First Age?" In Tilan's good history education, she remembered that the Mercury Dynasty in the Second Age was at war for most of the time, and those necromancers were not so particular, and in the Third Age, except for the Verdant Empire, which had a huge court, the other Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua did not have such a large court personnel.
"Yes, our blood clan came from the period of the True Red Empire, when in order to adapt to the cultivation of the demon sequence, the witches who dominated the empire carried out a lot of transformations, and then we were born, but the early blood clan had many flaws, and the personnel were not prosperous."
"I've heard of this, at that time, the True Red Empire also transformed many magical beasts, ready to be used in war, and dealt with the endless army of the Orc Empire." Tiran remembered the Harmony Witch, Edvena, who was best at this, until the Third Age, and many dragons of Oz were born from her.
"Breakfast is coming."
While Tiran was still reminiscing about history, another maid brought breakfast with two freshly baked tarts, milk, four slices of bread, two slices of red sausage, and five green grapes, which was very rich, but not much.
After enjoying breakfast slowly, Ti Lan sat on the sofa and read a book, today she is reading the school's exclusive "Anthology of Singers of the Past Generations", which tells and records the life experiences and deeds of the singers since the birth of the Federation.
Although not as dazzling as the two color-level singers, there are still many singers who have had a huge impact in the millennium since the establishment of the Federation, either promoting a certain reform or introducing a certain concept into people's lives.
Sandra 'Sandstone Rose', the early singer of the Commonwealth, was born in the year 86 of the Sixth Age, when Isenisa was still alive and the young Sandra spent some time with Isenisa.
Since Isenisa's death, Sandra has grown up quickly, and has gradually become the core of the Federation in place of Isenisa, and is a famous Sun-level singer in the early days of the Federation, second only to the color-level singer.
Unlike Isenisa, who loves nature and flowers, Sandra 'Sandstone Rose' is less interested in perishable plants and plants, and prefers things that can last for a long time.
Under her influence, there was a trend of building megastructures in the Commonwealth of that era.
These spectacles are not often made of modern industrial materials, preferring native stones, which are cut and polished by engineers, or carved out of the rocky mountains to create magnificent temples on the spot.
Walking into these buildings is like walking into the land of giants, with steps often several meters high and huge columns often nearly 100 meters in diameter.
Because they are both stone and natural materials, these magnificent halls can survive the erosion of wind and rain for hundreds of years, even if they are not maintained, and such buildings give a great sense of psychological security to those who have just experienced the chaotic and dark ages of the Fifth Age.
It is also out of fear, worry, and admonishment to future generations of the Fifth Age, these mega-buildings often have various inscriptions and murals that tell the story of what happened in that era, hoping to pass on history, which is an instinctive reaction of life after facing the threat of death.
If you are familiar with the history of the Federation, you will know that the early Federation architectural style is more grandiose and huge, in order to counter the psychological shadow left by the dark sun for a long time, until two or three hundred years after the establishment of the Federation, this trend slowly cooled down, because people in this era basically grew up in a comfortable social environment, and naturally did not understand the fear and uneasiness, they preferred the appropriate size, comfortable living environment, and no longer obsessed with that grand building.
After reading the life of Sandra 'Sandstone Rose', Tiran lamented that this singer is also a ruler with a strong heart, because of the death of Isenisa, the Federation has left a huge power vacuum, and the various leaderless states that come from it.
Fortunately, Sandra Sandra was bold enough and had the corresponding strength to stabilize the early Federation and establish a stable system for the subsequent inheritance, so that the complete order of the Federation was truly formed.
Closing the book for the time being, Ti Lan heard the sound of raindrops hitting the glass, and almost in the blink of an eye, a downpour of rain fell, flooding the world with the sound of dense rain.
"It's raining." She spoke softly, then stood up.
Turning to the door of the mansion, Ti Lan looked at the countless splashes of water in the open space outside, and the breeze blew the water into the hall, and a cool feeling appeared on her skin.
"Lord Tilan, it's going to rain when you stand here." The maid behind him reminded in a whisper.
"It's okay, I just want to get drenched in the rain." The girl turned her head and said in a sloppy voice.
It was the first time she had been drenched in rain outside of the Emerald Skirt, and unlike the slightly toxic and corrosive rain of the Emerald Dress, the rain on this planet was exceptionally fresh and comfortable.
It's so good, the girl thought to herself, and for no particular reason, she was in a happy mood.
Asked the maid to bring a wooden chaise longue, Ti Lan sat on the side of the door, looking at the rain outside, the more it rained, the more quiet and relaxed she felt.
Time passed quietly, and when Ge Yin still went downstairs with sleepiness, it was already half past eleven.
"Ti Lan morning~" She walked slowly to the girl's side, said good morning, and then stood beside her blankly, watching the rain outside together.
"Aren't you hungry?" After a few minutes, the girl couldn't help but ask.
"Sort of."
"Hehe, I'll ask them to prepare something for you, it's actually almost noon, so let's just have lunch together."
"Hmm." After that, Ge Yin continued to stand beside Tilan, not knowing if she was watching the rain or if her brain was dormant again.
Lunch was prepared soon after, it was very hearty, there were Ge Yin's favorite 'vegetable stewed brisket', 'scones' and Ti Lan's favorite 'pan-fried silver cod', etc., as for why Ge Yin preferred this, she said that the scones can be put for a long time, and they can be picked up and eaten at any time, which is very time-saving and convenient, and the vegetable and beef are nutritionally balanced, because she doesn't go out often, so she needs to supplement vitamins and meat nutrition.
"Totally pragmatism." Ti Lan commented that she decided to make some delicious and novel food for Ge Yin next time, she had also learned it in Liuli Dream before, but now she has done less.
After lunch, the rain has gradually subsided, which will cause Ti Lan to ask the maid to carry the chair back into the house, and then go into the underground training ground to sort out what she has recently learned and prepare for the next step.
First of all, on the singer's side, Ti Lan picked up the flute, put it to her lips and played it slowly, the quiet underground music echoed, the emerald rays of light flowed and outlined, and the cyan lotus flowers bloomed on the ground.
Then the flute sounded, and the rain and dew took shape in the underground training ground, and then descended, making people feel like they were bathed in the March breeze.
The secret method of condensing rain into silk in the Honghu lineage, which she learned from Odney (Feng Jianshang) some time ago, is also very successful at present.
Then, Ti Lan put the flute down, held the flute in her hand, as if holding the hilt of a sword, and with a slight turn, the rain scattered in the air instantly turned into slender ice crystals, and then converged into her hand like a vortex, spreading continuously in the flute body, forming a sword with crystal clear ice crystals.
Without bubbles and impurities, the sword is transparent and colorless, as light as water, and wielded delicately and silently.
After that, Ti Lan practiced all the swordsmanship she had learned, and in this underground training ground, sometimes thunder, sometimes wind, sometimes icy, sometimes ghostly, and finally returned to the light wind and rain.
After the training, the flute in Tilan's hand turned slightly, and the originally condensed clear ice sword dispersed, turning the mist into smoke, and then disappeared into the air with a breeze.
She has learned a lot of swordsmanship, and it can even be said that because she has learned too much, sometimes she even faces difficulty in choosing.
In the future, I will learn more secret techniques and skills in other categories, and I can't rely too much on the so-called swordsmanship.
Thinking of this, Ti Lan opened her palm, and a blue flame rose, which was extremely cold and cool, floating gently, and the ground was frozen and frosty everywhere she went, and even the crisp sound of ice cracking could be heard.
This semester, try to practice all kinds of spells in battle, but the main business is still the singer.
Speaking of singers, some time ago, Eluk Lu gave her a lot of concert tickets and invited her to go to see them secretly.
On the planet of the harp corolla,There are a lot of music-related industries.,A lot of well-known federal bands,It's here that they debuted.,And in this area of the school city,All kinds of underground idols、Bands are endless.,All kinds of styles are available.,A large number of young people also have the habit of listening and experiencing.,If the strength is good.,Attract people.,Fame can also spread quickly among students.。
So every year, there are singers from all over the federation who want to pursue their dreams here, win a lot of fans with their own strength, and then become famous.
Such an environment creates fierce competition, but also promotes the quality of each other, if you can get ahead here, then go to other remote star fields, it will also be a very powerful band and singer.
Coming out of the underground training ground and returning to the side hall of the study, Ti Lan counted the tickets in his hand, there is exactly one tomorrow.
"Do you want to check it out, Geyin?" She asked the girl next to her.
Ge Yin didn't answer, Ti Lan knew what she was thinking.
"You can't hide at home, I know that even if you're in your room, you won't sleep well."
As a roommate and friend, Tilan decided to take the 'stay-at-home girl' out for a walk, even though she herself often slept at home.
