She Is Not a Witch Chapter 262: River Bend Town
In the evening, a wooden 'flying bird' landed in a river bend, and as the plane slid on the grass, it bumped and slowly stopped.
"Here we are, this is where we will rest tonight." Xia Li jumped off the white 'flying bird' and pointed to a small town not far away.
It is said to be a small town, but the scene in front of me is very different from a human city.
The meandering river flows through the shallows, passing through the surrounding huge tree roots, and the colorful pebbles under the water can be clearly seen.
Using these thick tree roots as small bridges or passages, wooden houses of different sizes are distributed among them. The sound of conversation in the episode.
The water is gurgling, and the orange-red flowers hanging in the shade of the forest emit a shimmer, like a hazy night light, illuminating the town below. Some owls with fiery red feathers are squatting on the branches, and they fly down from time to time , drilled into some wooden houses, and then heard a slight cooking sound.
After bringing the 'Flying Bird' into a large tree-hole warehouse next to the town, Xia Li took Lorraine Hill into the town.
"Although this small town in the Fujicage River Bend is not big, the school in it is relatively famous, and many forest elves graduated from here."
"So there are more young elves in the town, and you can also meet a lot of elves from other places here."
Speaking of which, Xia Li took Lorraine Hill into a bustling alleyway. The place was decorated with lights and festoons, with various horizontal bars hanging, and wooden branches of different heights were inserted in them, and a Glowing mushrooms that illuminate their surroundings.
"Cuifeng steamed quinces, boiled honey pears, moon sweets, come and try if you like."
"The fourth grade pharmacy extraction branch solves the problem, and the answerer will get a gold coin."
"Old book sales, the third edition of "Wind Essence Enchanting Craft", "Viewpoints on Double Moon Practice", "Ghosts Reflecting Faces in the Water", "Concept of Celestial Giant Ship"..."
After entering this market street full of students, a lively scene appeared in front of Lorraine Hill.
She originally thought that the forest elves lived in isolation, but this was the first time she had seen such a lively scene.
There are pointy-eared elves everywhere on the street. Most of them have blond hair, and a few have snow-white silver hair. They wear comfortable and loose long-sleeved clothes. Judging from their appearance, many of them are directly the school uniforms of nearby schools.
Some of these elves were squatting in front of the stalls to bargain carefully, some were arguing with others about academic and book issues, and some were talking about the recent performance in the theater, the beauty and voice of the diva.
"This place is still as familiar as it used to be~" Xia Li took Lorraine Hill for a few steps, expressing such emotion.
"How long did Xia Li study here before?" Lorraine Hill asked curiously.
"About 7 years. Later, I went to the Emerald Court to study for a period of time before I officially left the campus." Xia Li talked about the past time.
"But one thing I want to tell Jialan is that we don't need to go to school together, that is to say, you can study for a year and come back after a year of rest, as long as the interval between them is not less than three years That's it."
"Because everyone has a lot of hobbies, and if you indulge in them occasionally, you don't want to read. You will have new ideas after going out for a stroll and come back to study, and the efficiency may be higher."
"Sounds very good, but we humans can't use this method." Jialan estimated that the youth of ordinary people is less than ten years, and most of them are occupied by studies. Middle-aged or old.
I really envy the longevity of the elves, so that they have enough leeway to do all kinds of things they want to do. No wonder the records of the God Winged Sun call 'Elves' the last and most perfect race created by mankind.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I accidentally said something offensive. But Jialan shouldn't be afraid of this, I heard that human superhumans can live longer, probably about the same as elves?"
"It will be a little longer, but it's not as long as the elves." Lorraine Hill shook his head, his hair swaying with that face, and then the pair of smart eyes looked at the stalls next to him, Attracted by the novelty above.
Some of the exquisite drawings drawn by the elves are like the stained glass of the church, but they are brighter and more delicate, with a gentle and beautiful feeling. There are also their own handmade dresses, which are made of a This kind of soft white cloth is used as the base, embellished with light green lace and lace, which fits and is light. In addition, there is also an exquisite model in a huge glass bottle, which depicts airships and cities floating in the air, which seems to be a reflection of the twilight era. imagine.
These beautiful and well-crafted things made Lorraine Hill feel a bit of an itchy heart, and she had the urge to buy them. Seeing her hesitant and cute appearance, Xia Li couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, in fact, I was also like this at the time. When I was in school for the first time, I spent a lot of living expenses on buying these things." Xia Li blinked as she spoke, with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
"Although it hurts a bit, I don't regret it later. However, I gradually found a way to increase my income in the third grade, and then gradually got better, and my life will not be as tight as before."
"Then how did Charlie make money at that time?" Lorraine Hill turned his head, full of thoughts of seeking knowledge.
"Well, we teamed up with our classmates at the time, and we went to wipe out those magical beasts that the empire offered for bounty~IndoMTL.com~ and earned a bounty, and later sold most of the materials of the magical beasts in exchange for a lot of income. "
"But gradually, such activities became less and less."
"Is it because there are fewer tasks?"
"That's not true, it's just that the efficiency is relatively low. It's a waste of time to go and wipe out the monsters. After all, these guys don't stay where they are all the time. They often have to hunt them down."
"Later, because I studied ancient history with a mentor, I participated in some relic excavation projects. At that time, I was paid more generously, so I didn't run around much." Xia Li recalled her life in those years.
"Then I went overseas, it was a very remote island, and I had to dive frequently into the seabed to explore. Because of the exposure in the past few years, my skin also turned brown a lot, and it was not until the year before last that I gradually fully recovered. Restore."
"Look at the composition of the floating city in the big glass bottle. It is the result of my tutor's research and publication. He described in detail the scenes of people's lives at that time. The ancient people lived above the clouds in the sky."
"Do you think it is very novel, because this is a new result that has been obtained in the past ten years, and it is estimated that Emenas has not promoted teaching."
"It's really novel." Lorraine Hill nodded guiltily.
It's not surprising at all, really, she probably knows that era better than any scholar.
It's just that now is not the time to show off. This time, you must have a good talk with the elf sage, and then meet the elf queen.
Perhaps in the next few decades, the splendor of the twilight era will reappear in this world, the cities and countries on the floating clouds, the wind-paddle airships traveling through the sky, and the huge project of transforming the world.
All will once again enter the eyes of mankind in this era, and this also means that mankind will once again embark on the road of the galaxy and embrace this real and vast world.
