Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva
Chapter 398 Visiting the Castle
The semi-enclosed stove in the room is burning firewood, and the fragrance of some trees and fireworks overflows, giving people a different feeling.
On the sofa next to the stove, Tilan had just finished taking a shower. She leaned her steamy feet against the stove and watched the faint steam rising like smoke. The flames baked the soles of her feet, giving them a warm touch.
The world outside the house was covered with snowflakes. It was late August, and it was still winter in the southern hemisphere, as opposed to the north.
After the water vapor on her feet evaporated, Tilan took it back and put on warm socks. Then she moved the stove and placed it next to the desk to let it warm the surrounding environment.
Leaning on the comfortable recliner, Tilan flipped through the books in front of her, occasionally picking up a pen to write, draw, and take notes.
Two hours later, Tilan put her books and notes aside, leaned on the recliner, folded her legs, and felt the slight heat on one side of the recliner. Then she turned sideways and looked at the red flames in the stove, feeling a little sleepy. Swelling, her eyes were half-opened and half-closed, and then she fell into a quiet sleep, her chest rising and falling slightly.
Since the patent war ended a month ago, the battle between Edes and St. Ingo has temporarily eased. Both sides are re-examining and thinking about the future possibilities, and whether they can afford the cost of launching a large-scale patent war, etc.
Although 'Ise'er' lost a lot of property and capital, it gained a lot of advantages after mastering the patents of the two companies. After Yimi officially inherited the company, many enterprises on Edes's side were carried out. With the help of funds and manpower, as well as the construction of new factory buildings, construction of production lines, etc., 'Iseer' has been able to recover quickly.
Of course, these aids are not without cost. For this reason, Yimi had to transfer some shares and reset the board of directors to build a new 'Isher'.
At present, everything is slowly getting on track. With the support of the members of Edes's camp, 'Iselle' will be able to resume its past production capacity next year, and its products will have more advantages and will not be weaker than 'Pu' 'Huishanyan', a subsidiary of Shi'Group.
Taking advantage of this free time, Tilan had a rare moment of free time. She could read a book, daze for a while, and occasionally take a peaceful nap without having to think about too complicated things.
Seeing that the girl was sleeping, the maid who was waiting silently on one side of the room brought a thin blanket to cover the girl, and then lowered the curtains halfway to prevent the white snow outside from being too dazzling.
The firewood burned cracklingly, a small amount of sparks burst out, and then quickly dissipated. In the courtyard outside the window, scattered snowflakes were floating, and occasionally thick snow fell from the trees and fell on the snow.
Although humans have entered the space age, they still like such natural beauty very much. This is probably some kind of instinct engraved in genes, just like sleeping on rainy days is more practical and comfortable, because in ancient times, when it rained, Predators will not come out, which means the environment is safe.
It only took tens of thousands of years for human beings to truly develop civilization. In the past, the ancestors of humans and many mammals, the Synapsids, lived under the severe oppression of dinosaurs, probably living like mice. For this reason, Synapses Most of the creatures in this class grow and die quickly. Even under the pressure of survival, they can only live at night and underground for a long time. As a result, they have degraded their trichromatic vision and can only see black and white. The trichromatic vision of some mammals today is actually evolved again and is not perfect. Some animals, such as dogs, still only have dichromatic vision and can only watch black and white TV.
In addition, among the glorious and prosperous Synapsids in the past, only mammals survived in the end. It can be said that they spent more than 100 million years on the edge of life and death.
The evolution and evolution of life are the accumulation of past history, and so is the shape of today's civilization.
After taking a nap for a long time, Tilan slowly opened her eyes, stretched her legs and raised her legs, then stood up lazily and sat upright on the wooden chair beside her.
After closing her eyes and thinking about her recent schedule and things, the girl stood up, first put on a comfortable and decent winter skirt, and then put on her boots and went out.
"Where are you going, Miss Tilan?" asked the maid who opened the door for the girl.
"Going to a friend's place." Tilan waved gently, bidding farewell to the two maids, and then got into the small aircraft waiting outside. Then the aircraft took off and quickly took her to fly over the southern area, heading towards the distance.
Leaving the bustling city of Southern District 1, this small aircraft shuttled through the clouds. Its slightly chubby fuselage made it look a bit cute. Although its speed was not as fast as that of large military aircraft, it was better because of its light size and ability to fly. It is very convenient to stop and land anywhere.
About an hour later, the aircraft landed in front of a forest castle on a cliff and slowly descended. The white walls of the castle were very beautiful against the backdrop of the red leaves.
After jumping off the aircraft, Tilan's feet made a squeaking sound in the snow, and then walked towards the castle. After walking a few steps, she saw the door opened and several maids came out to greet her.
"Lord Tilan." They saluted first and then raised their heads.
Although their hair colors are slightly different, these maids have almost uniform bright red eyes, which are as beautiful as rubies, but also give people a vague sense of aggression.
Four maids escorted Tilan into the castle. The temperature here was slightly warmer. The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly in the spacious and gorgeous hall. The other two maids brought Tilan hot tea and placed it in front of her. on the coffee table.
"Please wait a moment, Master Tilan. We have sent people to wake up Miss Ranbeier. She is recovering and will be here to see you in about 20 minutes."
"Yeah, it's okay." The girl held the fragrant black tea, nodded slightly, took a sip, and then put it down.
It's a bit hot, but it's better to drink it after it's cooled down, she said inwardly.
After sitting in the hall for a while, Ranbeier walked down the stairs at a slightly hasty pace and came to Tilan. She lowered her head in shame.
"Sorry, Your Highness, I'm late."
"Sit down first." After Ranbei'er sat down, Tilan blinked and took a look at the 'girl' with light pink hair in front of her.
Although Ranbeier looks like she is only about 18 years old, Tilan knows that her real age is much more than that. She should be a vampire who has lived for a long time. Their ancient descendants are now in the interstellar era. It can be said to be a rare creature.
"How are you recovering, Ranbeier?" Tilan asked.
"Now I have almost recovered, and I am gradually returning to my peak."
As she spoke, Ranbeier raised her palm, a flash of bright red flashed on her fingernails, and then a magnificent blood-red sphere slowly appeared. This sphere made of pure magic power was very beautiful, like thousands of red layered gems, exuding It smells of strange magic.
Since the last time he fought and conquered Ranbeier, this descendant of the ancient blood clan, with the help of Tilan, cured the sequelae in his bloodline, and then entered a state of deep sleep and repair. Almost 2 years have passed. Now I am gradually waking up.
Feeling the blood-red and magnificent magic ball in front of her, Tilan's eyes also reflected a faint red color.
It was probably the strength of Sequence 7, but Tilan had not seen many Sequence 7s. In front of her, Ran Beier was at a stage among the Sequence 7 transcendents. She did not have a very intuitive feeling.
Shouldn't it be weak? She blinked, and her eyes returned to clarity, as blue as a lake, quiet and clear.
After that, Tilan asked Ranbeier in detail about the ancient ethnic groups and some of the early situations of the Four-leaf Crystal Star Territory.
"When I came to Jade Skirt, this place had already developed. The Federation hadn't started the civil war at that time, and the factions and forces in Jade Skirt were not like the 'Royal Faction' and 'Starship Faction' today. Most of them are what everyone calls them now. 'Local faction' and a small amount of 'crystal mine faction'." Ranbeier recalled slowly.
"There would be no such thing as the local faction, because they are emerging forces on the planet, and they have cooperation, competition and friction with each other."
"The Crystal Ore Faction exists in many star regions. Most of them are very low-key and generally do not participate in power struggles within each star region. They only need to dig out the special ores they need."
"The early history of the Four-leaf Crystal that Your Highness wants to know, I will compile it into information and send it to you later."
Afterwards, Tilan learned from Ranbeier about the situation of her own race and its current distribution in the Federation.
"I don't know about this. Although our existences are very similar, we are also very different from each other. We are not a tightly united organization as everyone imagines. In fact, we are very scattered, and we have very little contact and communication with each other. "
After knowing the situation, Tilan stopped asking further questions.
After that, Ranbeier asked the maids in the castle to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Tilan, and before leaving, she asked if she needed any maids to help.
"These maids are all descendants of our family. Their strength is between Sequence 5 and Sequence 6. And because of their special bloodline, with the blessing of bloodline abilities, they will be stronger than extraordinary beings of the same level, and they can also perform many special tasks. .”
"This..." Tilan thought for a while, then nodded.
She does need some help. Although she is currently the core of the Edes camp, a popular singer and student council president, many of the groups are on her side because of their own interests. It is difficult to say that they are absolutely loyal. But ancient ethnic groups like Ranbeier are different. They rely more on the political asylum brought by Tilan.
As a different race from native humans, living in the Federation is inherently a gray area, between legal and illegal. If you are too high-profile, it will easily attract the scrutiny of the Tribunal. If you have Tilan's guarantee and protection, as long as you If they don't do anything too outrageous, people from the Tribunal won't go out of their way to trouble them.
"That's great~ Thank you, Your Highness." Seeing Tilan nodding in agreement, Ranbeier's voice rarely revealed joy.
Although she can enter Edes Academy and live as a student, it does not mean that these maids in the castle can. Many of them are unable to obtain normal status in the federation, and their strangeness will cause them to face some strict situations. , is also difficult to pass the test, so even if these maids are not bad in strength and age, many of them have never left this castle, either doing simple work or spending time in a deep sleep.
Are you so happy? Tilan felt the sincere joy emanating from Belle's heart, and after some questioning, she understood the situation.
"If that's the case, I can provide some help." Tilan nodded slightly.
After hearing the news, the maids or girls in the castle were extremely surprised and happy. Screams and laughter could be heard everywhere. Then under the guidance and command of Ranbeier, these maids gradually suppressed the excitement in their hearts. , gradually come together.
The copper candles were lit and placed in the hall of the castle. The lights were brightly lit. Girls wearing white clothes and dark red maid skirts stood there. There were about 70-80 of them, about 50 of them were Blood Pupil Sequence 5, and the other 12 were Blood pupil sequence 6, as a vampire princess, Ranbei'er has blood pupil sequence 7.
Although the dresses worn by these girls are in the style of maid dresses, they are extremely finely made. They have grand black and white lapels and cuffs with rolled prints like dark red roses. The same goes for the maid dresses on the lower body, which look like flowers blooming on a pure white background. The dark red rose, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an ancient noble lady.
But considering the situation of the ancient palace, the maids beside the princess can only be served by the daughters of nobles, and their duties are closer to the princess's deputy and female officials, rather than servants doing manual labor.
In comparison, Tilan, who is wearing a black and blue dress, is a bit plain, but her appearance and temperament can suppress the maids in front of her, and her status will not be reversed.
"Do you want all of them?" Tilan's voice was a little surprised when she saw these maids gathered in the hall. At first, she thought that Ranbei'er just gave her five or six maids, but now there were almost 80 people gathered in the hall. .
I know that Tilan didn't think so much, but Ranbeier also knew that such an opportunity would be difficult to come by again in the future. If she didn't pack it up immediately, with Tilan's quiet and conservative personality, she probably wouldn't ask her for a request next time. When people.
"It's okay, everyone is willing to contribute to His Highness." Ran Beier struck while the iron was hot.
"Well, in that case, I'll ask the Tribunal." Now that she had spoken, Tilan didn't want to disappoint the girls in front of her and agreed to ask about the situation.
After spending a night in the castle, Tilan returned to the Southern District again the next day. This time she contacted the personnel of the Tribunal and asked about Ranbeier's clan.
"It's exactly what she said. Ranbei probably wouldn't dare to deceive you about this." Sitting relaxedly on the sofa, Emeranda answered Tilan's question. This senior investigator of the Tribunal is now in Nanjing. District 1 seems to lead a particularly lazy life.
Ranbeier had considered the Tribunal's investigation when she made suggestions to Tilan, but since she dared to speak out, she also had a good understanding of the Tribunal's judgment standards, which gave her the confidence.
"Our trial court has the task of monitoring the living conditions of these alienated ethnic groups in the federation, and in accordance with federal laws, if they have thoughts and behaviors of separatism, betrayal, or independence, they must be strictly controlled and dealt with. The trial court has the obligation To preserve the integrity and unity of the Union.”
If the Diva is the spiritual bond of the Federation, then the Tribunal 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 Amuraline has remained on the institution of the Tribunal. It is a high-hanging sword internally, warning and monitoring various activities in the dark areas of the Federation. If you are an ordinary Federation resident, you will hardly be aware of the existence of this organization, but for those in the gray field, the Tribunal is undoubtedly a Terrifying and frightening.
Even Tilan didn't know how many secret guards and informants of the Tribunal she had around her, but at least since more than 200 years ago, she had never heard of any singer being assassinated or kidnapped.
Although it is not clear how many people have been deployed by the Tribunal, Tilan can still judge the people she often comes into contact with. There should be no people from the Tribunal among them. It seems that they also know the abilities of the singer very well. The protection personnel generally arranged They are all strangers in the singer's life, just like a pedestrian on the way to school. You don't know how to talk to him, and you don't know when one day he will suddenly run over to protect you.
"About applying for a new identity, there is no problem here. In fact, Tilan does not need to be so anxious. This is actually a very small matter for your current status." Emeranda's words made the girl recognize the singer again How much influence and invisible power there is within the Federation.
It seems that the rumors in the past are true, that is, Her Highness Amulalin has pardoned billions of alien descendants and allowed them to reintegrate into the life of the Federation. Of course, the specific process and cost are unknown.
The procedure was quickly completed. A week later, the vampire maids who had obtained their new identities boarded the aircraft excitedly and arrived at the most prosperous South District of Jade Skirt. When they walked hand in hand through the street, they also attracted many passers-by. Looks of curiosity and envy.
These girls are truly Sequence 5 extraordinary beings, figures that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Happy New Year~~ I have added up what I missed last night, please remember to refresh~~
