Not a Witch

With a little sigh, she turned around, took Kitty and left here, and followed Alena and Lily in front, leaving only the young man who was a little embarrassed and self-deprecating after the passion.

The summer wind brought some comfort, and the harbor in the distance was buzzing with people. Men and women in gorgeous dresses walked down the long stairs, and many of them held exquisite parasols.

The whole body of this ladder is wood-colored, and there are handrails on both sides. It is painted with dark brown paint, and it is very smooth, without burrs, so as to avoid stabbing these dignitaries.

But if you look past the noisy crowd, look at the other side of the stern, there is also a long horizontal ladder connecting the big ship and the land, and shirtless porters, under the scorching sun, carry the heavy one by one The wooden boxes were moved off the ship, and some other goods were moved up.

Sweat refracts the sun, dotted with stars, these porters are extremely tanned, wearing rough sandals on their feet, and are constantly working.Compared with those dignitaries, these porters are not stronger, and some of them can even see the bones protruding from the ribs.

Even though he knew that no matter which world there would be rich and poor, high and low, Lorraine Hill still felt a little embarrassed watching this scene.

It is not impossible to do physical work, but many of these people are skinny, obviously not full.High-intensity physical labor will inevitably bring about high-intensity physical exertion, and food intake must be extremely important.

Comparing the few shops she went shopping in the past two days, she suddenly felt that she had overlooked something. She had been visiting the streets with good law and order and bustling businesses, instead of going deep into the corners of those cities.Maybe there is closer to the real side of the country.

After entering the restaurant, Letis had already returned, and she was fanning herself with a bright yellow round fan, angrily talking about what happened just now.

"That guy didn't know me, and he said that this ship now belongs to Earl Blue Bull of the Green Empire, and the ticket has already been reserved for those big chambers of commerce in the city."

"In other words, do we have to go to those big chambers of commerce to buy tickets?" Lorraine Hill asked speculatively.

"Almost, I'll go to the Mage Association in the city tomorrow to see if I can find someone I know." Needless to say, Ledis's social network, and now after the merger, Yubailei also has a lot of Luerna's permanent residents. mage.

"I didn't expect this to happen." Aliena rested her chin and looked at the tourists passing by outside.

"How about we really go to play a guest role in the opera troupe?" Alena, this guy changed his mind faster than Lorraine Hill imagined.

"I agree!" Ye Ling raised her little hand, she didn't think it was a big deal to watch a play.

"What opera troupe?" Bu Mansha asked suspiciously, and Aliena repeated what happened just now.

"Is that so?" After listening to it, Letis also found it quite interesting. She had seen many opera performances before, and she was also very interested in it. This young lady, who is usually quite well-behaved, also wanted to pursue her at this time. Excited.

If it was in her hometown, or alone, she would definitely not have such thoughts, but now it is a group of companions, and a sense of excitement of group combat sprouts in her heart.

Several people quickly discussed the matter.In fact, although there were 9 people present, there were generally only 4 people who made up their minds, that is, Lorraine Hill, Bumansha, Letis, and Alena. The rest of the people generally would not express any opinions, just casually. And Ann.

Lorraine Hill looked at Aliena and Ladis who were suddenly tempted, and felt that the wind direction of this matter was about to change.She knew in her heart that with Aliena's trouble-making mentality, if she really pretended to be an opera troupe, she would definitely push herself on stage, and then she would be unable to run away even if she wanted to.

"That's not good, after all, we have no stage experience, and we haven't performed any operas..."

"If you don't have experience, you can try it. Besides, Lorraine is so beautiful. As long as you stand on the stage, the audience below will not be satisfied." Aliena waved her fingers, and she has become more and more proficient in this gesture recently.

"Am I the only one who suffers from feelings?" Lorraine Hill wasn't very repulsive in his heart, but felt that he was tricked by Aliena.

"Lorraine just agreed. When I arrive in the Southern Islands in time, I will give you a big present, and I will never break my promise." Aliena begged and promised.

Looking at this companion who turned faster than the sea breeze, Lorraine Hill felt unbelievable at all.But looking at Yeling and Lily who were hopeful, and Kitty who was curiously looking at the big boat, she finally nodded.

Just treat it as a novel adventure. You have to find something new and interesting in life. Besides, it’s really not a big deal, so there’s no need to be too serious.

"Yeah~" Aliena and Yeling high-fived each other, making Lorraine Hilton feel cheated immediately, she grabbed Yeling, flicked her forehead, and warned this little guy who eats inside and out.

After the decision was made, they returned to the hotel again, and this time, Aliena and Lily went to the previous alley to contact Triton.

---------

At night, Lorraine Hill was wearing a white nightgown, standing on the unlit balcony, looking at the coast and the night sky in the distance, leaning on the wooden railing, listening to the sound of the tide slowly coming, while in the harbor The docked cruise ship is also dotted with stars, hundreds of small windows of light and shade are reflected in the water, mixed with the moonlight, and broken into sparkling waves.

It’s been a long time since I heard the sound of the waves. Unknowingly, she has been away from Hopland for two years. Although she only stayed there for a few months, it was also there that she gradually adapted to the ways of the world. Also recognized a group of people who cared about her.

The thoughtful head maid, the thoughtful but ungrateful old butler, the executives of the Chamber of Commerce who surround her, the maids who occasionally whisper and gossip with her, the caravan guards who blindly worship her, and the artisans and employees of the Chamber of Commerce who are grateful to her .

Although she encountered some attacks and conspiracies, the group of people around her at that time made her no longer as lonely as before, allowing her to slowly integrate into the world in a relatively relaxed way, and experience and feel the life of people in this world. ways and customs.

After this tour, come back to Hopeland.I don't know what is going on with Rachel now, whether Mei Lu has re-integrated the family, and I have to tell her that Feng Nai is living a good life now, so there is no need to worry about this childhood friend.

The moonlight is like water, overflowing the earth like a tide, the sea breeze blows across the beach with the waves, and the shells turn over in the fine white sand, leaving small dents.

Chapter 260 The Opera Troupe Boards the Ship

"The Flower of Dawn Opera Troupe? I don't think I've heard of it."

A middle-aged butler in a wine-red dress sat on the sofa in the mansion, looking at the leader of Ubele's mage in front of him.

"That's right, you are from Cangcui, and you may not have heard of an opera troupe, because it mainly operates in Verga and Clancia." A well-dressed mage explained casually, and he slowly put down the teacup in his hand .

"Would you like to meet? I also heard that Earl Blue Bull attaches great importance to this parade, so I recommend it."

Although Cang Cui is currently tense with Frost Rose, after all, there is no war yet, and there are also a small number of nobles who are close to Frost Rose.And Earl Blue Bull is one of them.

His territory was right by the sea, and he had frequent trade exchanges with Lurna before, so he was rich and familiar with each other.Before that, Luerna's mages asked him to talk to some of Cang Cui's high-level officials to give up the idea of ​​using force against Lurner.

In peacetime, the trade between the two parties brought a lot of tariffs to the border provinces and territories, which is why some nobles did not want to go to war.

This time the 'Great Orient' cruised the Seven Seas, it was naturally Earl Blue Bull's idea. He did this not only to win over other nobles, but also to expand his own reputation and influence.

In the Cangcui Empire, after the title reaches the earl, it is basically impossible to go up. The four major dukes have made great achievements in the founding of the country. Now it is impossible to shake their status. They can only retreat to the next best thing to increase their reputation And influence, reaching the status above the earl and below the duke.

Therefore, this voyage is also for Earl Blue Bull to let his stewards and other retainers do their best to provide the most beautiful and novel experience to those nobles in the green.

"Since Master Lando recommends it so much, it must be that this opera troupe is outstanding. You don't need to watch the complete performance. The time for the cruise ship to berth is limited. I will just take a brief look at the members."

Although I believe in the reputation of this mage, I still have to go through it myself before I can rest assured.The butler stood up and walked outside.

A well-dressed young man is standing outside. He is wearing dark black trousers, a dark blue dress, and a white shirt inside. The overall appearance is very neat, and there is a white flower badge pinned to the corner of the collar .

"Hello."

"Hello, I'm the leader of the Flower of Dawn, Triton." Triton took off his hat, pressed it on his chest, and nodded in salute.

"You're welcome, let's sit here first." The butler was a little surprised at such a young leader, but he didn't show too much surprise. On the contrary, if it was an old man, he would have to consider the appreciation and aesthetics of the group. Not too dated.

The goal of this parade is to try to show some new things that have not been seen before, so as to leave a deep impact on people, so he also prefers some new opera troupes with unique styles.

"In fact, our opera troupe originated from the Twilight Brigade at the earliest. At that time, after a member retired, he created the predecessor of the team in his hometown. Later, he developed slowly and now has a little reputation." Although we cannot call ourselves the Twilight Brigade, but Triton still tried every means to give himself money, which was conducive to spreading and improving his reputation in the early stage.

In addition, he does have a full set of certificates of the Twilight Brigade in his hand, so he is not afraid of being asked to watch by others, and he looks very confident.

"What style is your group good at? Most of our guests are from Cangcui, hoping to see something different." The butler hinted at his needs.

"It's really a coincidence that what our regiment is good at is a new genre, the dark fairy tale style." Triton said the nonexistent genre with a calm expression.

"This sounds quite new." Although the butler didn't like it himself, he vaguely felt that it might please those noble ladies.

"Is there any other members, I want to see."

"Yes, they are resting in another room, please come with me."

Triton got up and led the butler to another room. This mansion belonged to Ubele's Mages Association, and the interior space was quite spacious.

Passing through the carpeted corridor, the two came to another room, which was very spacious. Several girls were sitting indoors, some were reading, some were chatting, and some were taking a nap. It was Lorraine Hill and his party. people.

As soon as the butler came in, he glanced at him and knew that he had made the right choice this time. Not to mention anything else, the looks of these girls could attract a large number of people.

This opera troupe is really amazing, how did they recruit so many beautiful girls.

Seeming to see the butler's doubts, Triton explained: "Most of our troupe members are from good backgrounds, and coming to the opera troupe is also an interest and hobby. Of course, their strength is also extremely strong, so don't worry about that."

Triton pondered this point for a while before adopting the statement. These young ladies are of extraordinary background. If they are really looked down upon by the housekeeper and have a crooked mind, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not cause conflicts. It is better to mention them in advance and hint at him. The members of the group are not low-born, and they also have their own personal freedom, so they can be treated lightly at will.

After that, the housekeeper didn't look down on them as much as before. Instead, he felt more and more that these members were noble ladies from some big families, especially the three of them. That kind of temperament is definitely not something that ordinary families can cultivate.His eyes briefly glanced over Letice, Lorraine Hill, and Vimiya.

After reaching this conclusion, his attitude became more respectful, and he stopped probing casually, but withdrew and continued to discuss with Terry.

At this time, he already regarded Triton as the kind of young housekeeper who specially accompanied the eldest lady to relax and protect him. In this way, everything made sense, no wonder he was so young.

Compared with those with unknown origins, noble children with better backgrounds are more trustworthy. At least they will be concerned about family honor, unlike those commoners who have no lower limit.When thinking in this way, the arrangement after the negotiation between the housekeeper and Triton went smoothly. As long as Triton's request was not too excessive, he basically agreed to it.

On the surface, Terry talked freely, but in fact, his back was very straight, and his brain was running at high speed, constantly thinking about what was not perfect.Just like a real opera director, he requires sufficient cabin lounges, the location should not be too far away, but also safety, good environment and so on.

In addition, there are performances and sharing. Tickets are not charged for the first performance, and extra income such as gifts from guests is divided in half. For the next two performances, tickets are divided in half, and 7% of other income belongs to the opera troupe.

This agreement can be said to be quite generous. According to Terry Tong's understanding at the time, the Twilight Brigade generally only received 4% of the income.

"So it's settled. I will write a certificate later, and I can board the ship with it within two days." The two stood up and shook hands.

After the matter came to an end, several people from Lorraine Hill also got their wish and boarded the giant ship that crossed the ages. With the slow rotation of the propeller, the sails opened, and the big ship sailed towards the Southern Islands. It will carry nearly 4000 people , went to the agreed island for vacation, and stayed there for more than half a month.

Chapter 260 Five Farewell to Childhood Fairy Tales

After setting sail, the cruise ship became lively again.

In this day and age, cruise ships are a novelty, and the aristocrats who try this new thing experience various benefits.

In this era of underdeveloped roads and incomplete infrastructure, to travel around, either take a bumpy carriage or take a rare airship.

Although the airship is convenient, but the route is fixed, and the loadable space and weight are limited, so it is not so comfortable.The emergence of cruise ships can be regarded as a solution to the previous problems.

The spacious and full-service cruise ship is like a small city, with all kinds of facilities in it, luxurious and clean.There are about 1500 service personnel on board, and about 2400 passengers.

"Wow, I feel that the nobles over there will really enjoy it." Aliena took a run-up, jumped up, and then fell down on the soft big bed, while Lily on the side opened the door next to the French window and came to the balcony. The large balcony can accommodate two deck chairs and a small round table, and the blue sea is outside.The humid sea breeze is blowing in front of you, and you can see the white clouds and blue sky in the distance.

There are also complete bathrooms, toilets, etc. inside the room, and there is even a small hall, which can be used to entertain friends, chat and play chess, etc.And there are more than 800 suites like this on the cruise ship.Among them, the deluxe version and the normal version are divided according to the location and size.In addition, there are 600 suites without balconies and only windows, which can be regarded as the economic version.

"Take a bath first, and then join Lorraine and the others." Alena said to Lily, then she took off her clothes quickly and jumped into the marble bathtub in the bathroom.

The warm water flowed through the pipes, and then fell on the body through the shower, allowing Aliena, who had been away from the academy for nearly two weeks, to experience this comfortable feeling again.

On the other side, Lorraine Hill took Keti into a luxurious suite. Although the room was not very tall, the facilities were properly placed and it was not crowded.

After taking a bath, the two came to the balcony, lay on the beach chair, and the wind would blow the water droplets on the skin to dry, bringing a burst of refreshment and comfort.

In this way, the two took a nap for a while.

After opening his eyes, there was still some time before dinner, and Lorraine Hill looked at the sunset gradually slanting towards the west in the sky. The glowing red fire clouds were very beautiful under the reflection of the golden sunlight.

I always feel that I can't take time off. Looking at the scenery in the distance, this idea came to Lorraine Hill's mind.

She suddenly remembered that hysterical young man, and some fragments of memory slowly surged in her mind.

If you play for a long time, you will feel a sense of guilt in your heart, as if you have let down a lot of things.

It has been a long time since I came to this world, but excluding those years of sleeping, it is estimated that it is only 3-4 years in total.

But the habits or concepts brought about by the previous life do not completely dissipate.

[Your parents work so hard, why do you have the nerve to play instead of studying hard? ]

[Look at you, you can't do this little thing well, why don't you work hard? ]

[Your uncle's cousin's children are all 3 years old, you don't even have a date, and you still wander around every day, and you haven't settled down. ]

[Sorry, we only admit students from prestigious universities. ]
