Chapter 273 Golden Wind Blue Chrysanthemum Umbrella
After staying in the Golden Leaf Corolla for a few days, Vestena began to take Roland Hill to the various Corolla to make friends and visit acquaintances. Under her introduction, many senior executives of the forest elves gradually became aware of this girl. identity and origin.
Some of them were welcoming to Roland Hill, while others were indifferent, but most of them still expressed their due kindness and were happy to talk to this girl. The reason was not complicated. These people were Weiss. Tena was selected in advance, easy to be approachable, and more open-minded to the outside world.
The real diehards, or the elves that are difficult to get along with, were not introduced to Roland Hill. Those people really want to convince them that the process will never be so peaceful, and it may lead to arguments or even struggles.
During this period of time and travel, Roland Hill gradually gained a deep understanding of the lives and characters of the elves.
I have to say that most of the forest elves are relatively simple and don't have too complicated thoughts. If they hate it, they are not very good at disguising, but they show it directly, which is very easy to understand.
In this way, the time slowly came to June, and the three-yearly 'Festival of Washing the Wind' began to be held in the 'Orchid Corolla', and the two Roland Hill, who were invited by Marantha, also came to this corolla. Assembly point.
This is a city located on a light green field. Most of its buildings are shaped like orchids with streamlined and relaxed lines. The outer layer is painted with soft light blue paint, which is delicate and soft to the touch, making people very comfortable.
The 'Orchid Crown' is a gathering place with a long history in the Emerald Forest. There are many ancient families here, and many customs of the past are preserved. The 'Festival of Washing the Wind' is one of them.
Every June, the smoky summer wind will blow through this field, bringing refreshing water vapor and moisturizing the plants on the earth. Every time this season is also the season when the flowers are in full bloom, the elves in the 'Orchid Crown' They will throw those freshly picked petals in the wind, and then these petals will float in the soft breeze to the large area of the Emerald Forest, very gorgeous and beautiful.
Under the bright sunshine, the 'Orchid Corolla' is very lively. Many forest elves will come from other regions to participate in this celebration. Some of them come from other corollas in the Emerald Garden, and some come from remote places in the forest. It took a long time to travel to get here.
"The weather is a little hot, does Jialan want to buy an umbrella?" Xia Li said with a little interest when she saw a shop selling flower umbrellas on the street.
Vestena, Loren Hill, and Charlie walked down the street together, exploring the flower-filled road.
"Me, I don't think so." Roland Hill didn't care about being exposed to the sun.
"Let's buy one. Of the three of us, Jialan is the whitest. It would be a pity if she tanned." Xia Li encouraged the girl beside her to buy an umbrella.
"Then Charlie isn't afraid of getting tanned?" Roland Hill asked amusingly.
"I'm used to it. Besides, I have found a few suitable partners now, so I don't have to worry about love."
"But Jialan is different. It would be a pity if she turned black before she met the person in your mind." Xia Li said her crooked reasoning.
"Really, I don't believe it." Vestena looked at her student and said casually. She knew Xia Li's character very well, so this guy would care about this kind of thing. I guess he wanted to see it. I looked at that umbrella shop, but I was too embarrassed to go alone.
After all, this store is famous for its signboard. The umbrellas and flower umbrellas it produces are all fine works of art. Of course, the price is not low, which makes many ordinary people discouraged.
Unfortunately, Xia Li happened to be the kind of person who wanted to increase her knowledge, but she had a good face and didn't want to be seen by the clerk that she couldn't afford it.
"Go, go~" With Charlie shaking her arms, Roland Hill and Vestena had no choice but to approach this specialized umbrella shop step by step.
"Welcome to Fei Yu Umbrella Shop, what do you need?"
After entering the store, an elf woman stepped forward, with a graceful figure and a folding fan with petals in her hand.
"I need a parasol." Xia Li said, looking around the store, looking very excited and curious.
There are various styles of umbrellas in this store, including the simplest solid-color cloth umbrellas, and some luxurious umbrellas filled with flowers as decoration. Under the delicate black and blue ceiling in the store, there are flower umbrellas of different sizes that have been stretched.
Looking at the appearance of these umbrellas, it is like flowers dotted in the night sky, which has a beautiful and quiet poetry.
"So it is." Said the female boss, swept her gaze from the three of them, and then introduced her various kinds of umbrellas.
"The first is the most common waterproof cloth umbrella in our store. Not only is the material of the best quality, but its printed patterns and textures are also the most abundant."
"Then there are umbrellas made of Jinyang cloth and moonlight cloth, which can not only block the wind and rain, but also have other functions."
"Any other effects?" Roland Hill asked curiously.
"Yes." As she said that, the elf woman picked up a silver-white umbrella and opened it.
"This [Silver Wind Moonlight Umbrella] can not only block the scorching sun, but also has the effect of cooling and cooling, so it will be very comfortable to use in summer." The pattern network, with a touch of magic flowing in it, is very gorgeous.
"So beautiful~" In the surprised voices of the three, the female boss handed the umbrella to the three of them to look at it carefully, and then continued to draw out an orange-red umbrella.
"This is the [Golden Sun Chrysanthemum Umbrella], in addition to basic rain and sun protection, it also provides lighting at night to resist the cold wind.
, to maintain warmth. "Speaking, she opened the orange-red umbrella, and under the cover of the umbrella, the figure below was also dyed a touch of orange, which made people pleasantly surprised.
"This is also very powerful." Charlie looked around the umbrella and seemed to like it very much.
It turns out that there are so many styles and types of umbrella making, Roland Hill also showed a lot of curiosity and surprise.
"Is there an umbrella that seems to be used for combat?" Vestena also expressed her request at this time.
"Umbrellas, after all, are mainly used to protect against rain and sunshade. Fighting is really not my specialty. Although I have made many umbrellas, it is estimated that there are only 2-3 pieces that are really related to combat." Take out a special umbrella from the dark compartment.
When it was pulled out, the blue sparks flowing and bursting on the umbrella surface immediately announced their extraordinaryness.
Soon, this was explained in detail for the female boss.
"This is the [Thundering Screaming Umbrella], which can store a powerful electric current and use it in battle, and at the same time make the user safe from lightning strikes."
"The specific demonstration has not been done, because the current venue and time are limited. This umbrella is particularly useful for superhumans who use lightning and lightning abilities. It can easily block the opponent's attack, and at the same time, the rapier can be drawn from the umbrella handle. , used for emergencies behind being approached." She simply waved the opened umbrella, and a burst of purple electric sparks quietly exploded in the air, leaving a residual light and shadow.
Very good thing, Roland Hill made a detailed evaluation of these three parasols with the help of systematic observations.
The Silver Wind Moonlight Umbrella and the Golden Sun Chrysanthemum Umbrella are both excellent silver-level creations, while the last thunder-paste-squeaking umbrella is a pearl-level creation.
Although these are not very useful to Roland Hill, the difficulty and cost of being able to make these patterns on a small umbrella are far higher than ordinary creations of the same level.
"Then pick one."
After looking around for a while, Roland Hill finally made up his mind to choose a suitable one, but unfortunately, two new customers also came to the store.
"Hmph, it's you." The blond-haired elf woman in a golden dress looked arrogant and disdainful, as if she was unhappy about seeing Vestena here.
"Sabelina, I didn't expect you to come too." Seeing the lady appearing, Vestena also responded and drew her attention to herself.
The person who came was exactly Sabrina whom I met at the 'Pelican Corolla' last month. She is still wearing a gorgeous golden silk dress today, and there is someone next to her. Seeing the timid appearance of that girl, it seems that she rarely shows up. far away.
"Tiffany, choose an umbrella that fits well. As a good lady, this is a must-have item."
"Yes, Aunt Saberina."
But today, this arrogant lady seems to have another task. She first picked up an umbrella with the girl beside her. Seeing this, it was not easy for Vestena to refute her face to face, this elf sage also had an elegant side.
It's a pity that Sabelina seems to have some misunderstandings about Vestena's restraint. She thought that Vestena was afraid of her and did not dare to offend herself.
In the process of taking the girl to choose an umbrella, the lady who couldn't bear her natural instinct made a reckless evaluation.
"Tiffany, in the Emerald Court in the future, remember not to interact with some rude people, especially those from the outside world. Most of them have dark thoughts and treacherous plans. You have to be extra careful. , don't listen to a word."
"If they continue to entangle, then you directly call your acquaintances and ask them to help you teach these guys a lesson, and they will be honest."
"Some people can't be influenced by a gentle attitude. They are all wolves who can't get enough to eat, and they can only gain an inch." The lady instilled a reason that seemed to be no serious problem, but in fact led the girl to extreme road.
Hearing this, Vestena finally couldn't bear it any longer.
Because of her past experience as a teacher in the Emerald Cage, she is very aware of how much these words affect students who are new to the environment.
"Sabrina, don't you think there's a lot of prejudice in these words?"
"Oh, but I think it's all good words. Does the sage still interfere with the communication between me and the younger generation? When will such a thing be condemned, is this the sage of the new generation of elves? , it's really regrettable."
Different from the last time, Sabelina seemed to have awakened a lot this time, and the mockery made Vestina's blood pressure surge, but it was really hard to force a refutation for a while.
After all, this is just a conversation between people and their relatives and descendants, and it is really difficult for outsiders to directly intervene.
Seeing the two sneered at each other, the timid girl was a little nervous, afraid that it was because of her own reasons that the two big men would quarrel.
Although she is Sabelina's niece, she has grown up in the courtyard for a long time and rarely faces outsiders. She heard that Vestena is a sage of the elves, but her aunt quarreled with others like this, making her I was very uneasy, and even hesitated to choose an umbrella.
"It's okay, they are just expressing their own different opinions. In fact, they all have their own starting points, and they are also for your own good. It's just that you decide how to make the final decision, as long as you come to the conclusion after careful consideration and verification. , that is consistent and correct.”
Seeing the elf girl wringing her fingers in the shop, Loren Hill, who had been selected by the side, stepped forward and spoke to her softly.
look at this
Many elves are still dreamy and beautiful human girls, Tiffany was also amazed, and the voice as clear as spring water seemed to have a kind of magic, so that the originally nervous heart was slowly put down.
"Yeah." She lowered her head slightly and made a mosquito-like reply, and then raised her head slightly, peeking at the side face of the girl beside her.
The afternoon sun outside is fierce, but the interior is quiet, some tiny particles are floating in the scattered sunlight, the face of this human girl is so soft, and the tiny hair on the side of the ear is transparent against the sunlight in the distance. And hazy, reflecting the brilliance, makes people feel like immersed in a gentle dream.
"Thank you," she said softly, and then looked at Saberina in the distance, as if afraid of being discovered by the aunt.
"My name is Tiffany." Although he was looking at the various umbrellas hanging on the shelves in front of him, the elf girl quietly introduced her name.
"My name is Jialan, I come from the human world outside." Roland Hill also answered quietly, his voice could not reach the surrounding three meters.
In this way, when they were choosing an umbrella, they chatted in a low voice, and in a place far away from them, Vestena and Saberina continued to argue all kinds of things, from their views on the outside world to society. The judgment of value, from the pros and cons of elves and humans, to what kind of life is happiness, the topic of the two is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that there is an intensifying trend.
After trying to stop it, but to no avail, Charlie finally lay down and sat on the small stool in the shop to talk to the proprietress here, no longer caring about the confrontation between the two big men.
"Huh, I always feel like I'm a teacher who can't settle down. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here. If such a scene is exposed, the image of the elf sage will be ruined." Lying on the counter, Charlie seemed to complain. complained.
"Hehe, it's not bad actually. Seeing the sage who pays attention to details and conscientiousness, as a member of the elves, I will feel inexplicable peace of mind."
"As for people who work hard, in fact, everyone will not hate them too much. I'm afraid that everything is like mud, and those who answer vaguely will be more irritating." The proprietress shook the fan and said that she is rich in life experience. discourse.
And after half an hour, the two girls finally came to the counter.
"Have you made your choice yet?" Charlie asked curiously, looking at the two people who were about the same height in front of her.
"Yes." Roland Hill and Tiffany stood together and answered together, as if there was a budding tacit understanding, and then placed the similar umbrella on the counter.
One handle is golden blue chrysanthemum, the other is blue flower gold thread, the two handles are like a pair, there is an inexplicable harmony and similarity.
