She Is Not a Witch Chapter 369: Go to the sea of stars
"Let's start, everyone sit down~"
The flight attendant walks through the lobby on the second floor of the ship, telling the passengers to sit down and not to move.
Amidst the siren roar and the sound of spouting, a white passenger ship slowly departed from the shore of Emenas, sailed into the wide Blue Stream River, went upstream, and headed west.
The tumbling waves kept rolling up at the stern, leaving long wakes. After the ship sailed for a period of time and gradually stabilized, the passengers were allowed to move freely. They boarded the deck on the top of the ship in twos and threes, or came to the guardrail Looking at the magnificent scenery on both sides.
Among these people, there is a girl in a white and light blue summer dress. She is also leaning on the railing on the top of the boat, looking at the distant scenery.
There are steep and straight mountain walls on both sides of the huge river valley. Under the hundreds of meters high crimson mountain wall, this passenger ship is very small. It may not be exposed to the sun for a day as it advances along the river on the side of the mountain wall. The sun is shrouded in the wide shadow of the mountain wall.
This kind of route is obviously cooler and more comfortable in summer, so there are many passengers who take the passenger ship. Although it is not as fast as the airship, it is cheaper and more affordable.
Most of the passengers on the passenger ship are from Crancia, and a small number are residents of the empire. The instability of the empire over the years has made the originally proud local residents start to reconsider whether to go to the western countries to seek refuge. There are also many people who compare the status quo of the two countries.
"I see, you might as well just move to Clancia, your life will be much more stable, as long as you work hard, you will never go hungry." An aunt said to a young man and woman in the empire As they said, the two of them originally just traveled to Crancia to see the current situation of the western countries.
"Nowadays, the laws and security in all parts of Crancia are very sound. Even if you don't hire guards on the road, you can travel safely without worrying about encountering robbers."
With the development of food and industry, healthy adults can rely on labor to support themselves and their families, so fewer and fewer people take risks and become robbers. In recent years, the law and order in Clancia has become better and better.
"It's a bit exaggerated. There are some remote places with no people in the front and back. It is difficult to guarantee safety. The two of us dared to come out because of our strength." This is true. The silver-haired girl passed by After looking at it for a while, I found that both of them have the strength of Sequence 4, which is already very high among ordinary people.
"Hey, you don't believe me when I tell you. You'll know when you go." Seeing that her kindness was suspected by others, the old lady stopped talking a little bit angrily.
Looking at his lover making him angry, the girl next to him stood up to smooth things over, and then the few people continued to talk about Clancia.
"It's very convenient to travel now. If you go to a distant place, you usually take a train. If you're nearby, you can also pay to take an official short-distance bus. That thing is so big, you must have never seen it before."
"Really, then I have to experience it." The man said, but he still looked a little disbelieving.
Just like this, a few people were chatting, and they didn't stop until it was time for lunch.
The wind from the river blows out, carrying moist water vapor, which makes it slightly cool on the body. Standing on the top of the boat, Lorraine Hill gently presses the sun hat on his head, feeling the summer breeze and water waves .
When she returned to Clancia this time, she deliberately did not fly back directly, but took a private vehicle to experience the current travel experience of people.
It has to be said that its comfort level has improved a lot compared to before.
In the past, it cost at least 60 silver coins to pass through this huge river valley among the Mountains of Sighs. Also slowly dropped down. However, rather than transporting guests, the big boats on the Lanjian River are more used to transport goods from the East and the West and trade with each other.
I don't know where they are now.
This morning, she heard various descriptions about Clancia from passengers, many of which were related to life, such as travel, school, medical treatment, etc. It can be seen that with the development of industry Developed, some of the country's infrastructure is also quickly established, so it brings strong demand, and many industries have made rapid progress and development in recent years.
The sun in the sky is still bright, shining on the river surface, reflecting the deep blue reflection, Lorraine Hill is just like this, sitting quietly on the passenger ship, listening to everyone's description, and then arriving at the end of the journey, also It is the Red Gravel City of Crancia.
This famous steel city in the past is now even more roaring and hot. A lot of river water is pumped up by water trucks, and then transported to large workshops in the city to cool down and control reactions.
White steam rises in the cooling tower, taking away a huge amount of heat. People pay attention to the output of various industries in the city. They are no longer some marginal products. Rich minerals and diversified commodities have become local characteristics. and focus.
After experiencing one city after another along the way and admiring the scenery of Crancia one after another, Lorraine Hill finally arrived at the current capital.
Outside the city of Solander is a flat and fertile wilderness. Now there are patches of light golden sunflowers growing on it. Straight roads are distributed in it, cutting it into white squares that are flat and easy to manage.
"Passengers, please get off the bus in an orderly manner, and don't push in crowds."
In the station, the voice of the broadcast never stopped, and the train also got off the passengers from the southeast and northwest.
Lorland Hill carried his light suitcase and got off the train together with everyone, looking curiously at the present station, where there was a lot of people, and there were commanding and guiding staff everywhere.
Beside him, several guests from the Southern Islands asked the guards on the side about the famous scenic spots in Solander and the places worth visiting. A tall lion-maned orc walked in front of him, he was wearing strong coarse cloth Clothes, a copper-colored metal box on his shoulders, which seems to be his personal tools, and can smell a kind of oily smell. Some ground crews with long rabbit ears in uniform are enthusiastically receiving pedestrians and guiding them. The direction of business.
Following the crowd and the sound of the radio, Lorraine Hill moved forward in an orderly manner among the bustling crowd, and the tip of his nose could smell the unique smell of sweat in summer. After walking out of the station, a gentle breeze hits, and then there is a feeling of enlightenment.
Overlooking the square outside the station, the north is the continuous palace on the hill, which is now the administrative center of Crancia. , the tall statue 'Lorraine Hill with the Lantern' halfway up the mountain.
Amidst the discussions and voices of the crowd, Lorraine Hill lowered the brim of his sun hat, trying not to reveal his appearance, then lowered his head, and walked quickly to the street with few people, only then did he slow down a little. Take a breath.
'Almost forgot, there is a large statue of itself here. ’ When Lorraine Hill thought about this, he felt helpless and wanted to cover his head, but he didn’t say much. After all, it was everyone’s good intentions, and he couldn’t say that he just rejected it because he was embarrassed.
After searching for a while and finding out the necklace Tides gave him and putting it on, Lorraine Hill relaxed a little and continued walking on the street.
The sky in summer is very blue. Occasionally, airships can be seen flying from a distance to land and take off in the open space outside the city. Apart from these big guys, you can also see sporadic wing guards patrolling and flying in the sky. Maintaining the law and order in the city, if there are some unexpected situations, they will fall from the sky and take action to solve them.
Most of the shops on the street are doing good business, with pedestrians coming in and out from all over the place. The rooms inside are hung or placed with fans of various shapes. Under the small power device constructed by alchemy, they are constantly rotating, blowing to relieve the heat. cool breeze.
The energy consumed by such a device is magic power, which generally only needs to be replenished by the clerk every once in a while, which is very convenient and does not even require wires.
Compared to when I visited many years ago, the clothes of pedestrians on the street are much richer now. It is no longer the same as in the past, full of coarse linen clothes, but mostly comfortable cotton cloth with gauze. In summer, Breathable and cool.
It was already dusk when they entered the Red Mansion Palace.
As the secretary-general, Palinsa took a few maids to help clean the place before letting Lorraine Hill in.
"Welcome back, Your Highness Lorraine." The former princess, now the head maid and secretary-general, looked at the girl in front of her with joyful eyes.
"Yes, I'm back." Putting down the suitcase, Lorraine Hill hugged her lightly.
"It's been hard these years." Lorraine Hill appeased the head maid who was taller than herself, and then let go after a while.
Palinsa seemed to have a lot to say about Lorraine Hill's return, but she didn't know how to start.
"Hey, don't be so anxious, there is plenty of time tomorrow, and it's not early today, you should get off work and rest." Lorraine Hill waved his hand, telling Palinsha not to worry, and walked around the familiar room Get up, fingers lightly caressing those furnishings and tables and chairs, and then stop.
"By the way, I brought you some presents." After walking around, Lorraine Hill suddenly remembered something, and then took small steps to the gift box, opened the box, and took out a beautiful box.
"This is a specialty of the Emerald Forest. It contains good wine for body maintenance, refined aromatherapy for calming the nerves and healing spirit, and finally, exquisite hairpins made by elves." Loren Hill opened the box and introduced something in it.
"Do you want to try wearing it?"
Lorraine Hill took out the golden hairpin that imitated flowers inside, the flowers in it were made of metal filaments, and there were also light blue pearls embellished in them, with the complex and natural texture of elves beauty.
"Thank you, Your Highness Lorraine." Palinsa was surprised to receive the gift, but she was also moved by it.
As the great sage of Clancia, the guide, and the object of everyone's admiration and following, I don't know how many people want to meet her, and how many of them want to be in the heart of His Highness leave an impression.
It's a pity that Lorraine Hill has always been at ease, and few people in the country know where this silver-haired sage His Royal Highness lives in seclusion now.
"Wear it well, it's so pretty." A simple compliment made the solemn-looking head maid want to shed tears, rubbed her eyes, and kept blinking.
"Why are you crying?"
"Because I was very moved, I was still remembered."
Maybe, sometimes I just hope that I can be seen and recognized by others, and I don't want to be an irrelevant background.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, Palinsa was still a princess before, she can't be so easily moved, otherwise she will be easily deceived." Lorraine Hill comforted the secretary-general again , The two sat in front of the sofa.
After a while, Palinsa calmed down, and she couldn't help being embarrassed by her behavior just now. She stood up first, and then said goodbye to Lorraine Hill.
"I won't disturb His Highness's rest today. I'll come back tomorrow. Clancia needs your review and guidance now." After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave, but Lorraine Hill called her to stop in time. Let her take that gift box away.
Spending the night in this familiar little palace, Lorraine Hill first went to the underground bath to take a bath, then changed into breathable pajamas, and walked to the small balcony on the top of the building.
Because the lights are not turned on, the surroundings are a little quiet. In this era when the environment is not polluted, the vast Milky Way nebula can be clearly seen in the summer sky. The light spots in it are long and far away. When staring at it , can make people quiet down unknowingly, and experience the vastness of the world, and their own smallness and limitation.
After a peaceful night's sleep, the sky gradually turns white, the sun slowly rises, and it's a new day.
During this day, Lorraine Hill saw those familiar figures from the past again, because in recent years, Clancia has flourished, and everyone seems to be smiling a lot. The most obvious thing is that Lorraine Hill feels that Pullman is a little fatter than before, perhaps because he eats too well.
Sitting under the light-colored high-backed chair, Lorraine Hill nodded from time to time as he listened to everyone talking about the progress of these years and the progress of each project.
"Now the train has been laid to the center of each province, roughly connecting the whole country. According to the plan of the year, roughly three levels of schools have also been constructed, namely township-level primary schools, city-level middle schools, and Provincial universities." As Education Minister Tolan described the progress over the years.
"Elementary school admission is completely free, secondary schools will be subsidized by the state, excellent and poor students can also receive complete tuition fee reductions and subsidies, and universities also have corresponding support measures."
I have to admit that education is not a small expense, but fortunately, Clancia is rich in finances, it is not difficult to support such a policy, and with the development of the industry, all kinds of talents are also in a period of strong demand , Don't worry about the students you train can't find a job.
"The popularization of legal awareness is currently in the publicity stage, but with the support of the Church of Angels, this work is progressing much more smoothly than before." Ms. Fowler, who is the highest judge, said the latest progress.
In Snow Flower Seven Country, the Church of Angels used to have a high reputation. Even if most poor families couldn't pay taxes, they would go to the Church of Angels to invest a few copper coins, only to get the only money they had when they were sick. A little healing and comfort.
Although the role of the Angel Church is slowly being replaced by the newly built healing homes and nurseries, this influence has not disappeared. In fact, many healing homes and nurseries are located in the churches of the Angel Church Together, neighbors.
The advantage of this is that the backlog of treatment and medical treatment in the Church of Angels can be shared with the Healing Home, and the Healing Home can also ask the Church for help when encountering patients who cannot be rescued by conventional means.
Today's Church of Angels is also slowly returning to its original purpose, to inspect the prototype of chaotic disasters, to stabilize people's hearts, to comfort people, and to resolve them.
It stands to reason that the church and the state are two parallel organizations that have nothing to do with each other, but because of the existence of Lorraine Hill, a special archangel, the current goals of the church and Clancia are highly consistent, both for a hundred years later Prepare for the chaos crisis, so it is also extraordinarily harmonious.
Many Crancia students can go to the sanctuary for further study, and the priests and nuns in some remote areas of the church can also receive some subsidies and support from the state to survive the difficult predicament.
Not all churches are established in big cities. Many churches in remote towns and villages exist to monitor whether there is a chaotic vortex in the local area. Most of the chaotic vortex in the world has been repaired and filled by Lorraine Hill, but there is no guarantee that no one will open it up again in the future, so such a system has not been cancelled.
After listening to these ministers and chief reports of Clancia, Lorraine Hill roughly understood that the current situation of Clancia is probably similar to the industrial countries in the early 20th century in history, but it is much more stable and harmonious.
'It's too soon, it's only been a few years. ’ thought Lorraine Hill.
"Where is the progress of the sky battleship now?" She asked instead.
"The power problem has been preliminarily solved, but there are still many difficulties to be overcome in terms of material and sealing stability." The chief commentator of the magic craft on the side, this mature and beautiful female mage is none other than Tirela. The Rulnar mage who gave Lorraine Hill the steam turbine prototype.
"Oz's sky battleship was actually rushed back then, and it failed to solve the problems of sealing and life support system after entering space, so there was no reference in this regard, and the progress was relatively slow." She explained the reason.
"Are these? Let me think about it. I will sort it out in a few days and give you some reference materials."
Today's Lorraine Hill not only knows the techniques of the twilight era~IndoMTL.com~ even the techniques of the "Deep Sea United" tens of thousands of years later, but the realization of these technologies requires various foundations, not The current conditions can be realized, so we need to reorganize and find some compromises.
"Everyone has worked hard these years."
After finishing the day's meeting, the silver-haired girl got up and thanked everyone for their troubles, and everyone said that it was as it should be.
"Towards the sea of stars, move forward."
No matter how beautiful the vision is, the resources and space of the earth are limited after all, which also means that if things develop later, if you don't jump out of this circle and cage, you will inevitably usher in a tragic end.
This is also the reason why Lorraine Hill is obsessed with quickly restoring technology and getting out of this small world.
We still have a broader and great future.
