Chapter 119 The Spinning Girl
Login
After talking with Tang Nanlian, Roland Hill learned that she was also here with Qingluyuan's team.
"At that time, the entrance examination had to be acupuncture, and I didn't know it at all. Later, I studied for a long time before I passed..." Tang Nanlian chattered about her difficult entry experience at that time.
"But the companions in the pie are pretty good..." The girl seemed to talk more and more, making Roland Hill a little head-scratching, but looking at her so happy appearance, she didn't like it. Good to interrupt, had to smile and nod.
After she said goodbye to Tang Nanlian, the sky was getting dark, and only then did she walk into the residence arranged by the Feather Sect.
The rooms are all single rooms, and no one else disturbs them, which makes Roland Hill breathed a sigh of relief.
After a brief wash, Roland Hill rolled a few times on the spacious bed holding the pillow, rubbed her cheeks, and then lay down on the pillow. During this period of time with everyone, she was a bit suffocated.
In fact, her character still prefers to be alone, because when she is with others, especially those who respect her, she has to consider issues such as her image, and she has to be dignified and so on. Although it wasn't difficult, it wasn't as relaxing as when I was alone.
The beds in the school are all large, and the mattresses are also divided into two layers, one thick cotton pad and one rush, which are relatively soft and have a faint fragrance. Generally, sleeping two people is not a problem. In fact, this is also because of the different body types of some special races or extraordinary people.
Just like that, Roland Hill slept in the room all day before being woken up by a knock on the door.
"Is Sister Luolan here?" After Yu Tingyu and Luolan Hill became acquainted with each other, she also changed her name to her sister.
"Yes, wait a moment." Roland Hill rubbed his eyes, and then sat up slowly from the bed, as if there was still drowsiness in his mind.
Huh, it seems that the aftereffects of the last time using the power are not completely over yet.
She got out of bed a little reluctantly, came to the mirror, looked at herself, put on a dark robe, and opened the door.
"Are you listening to the rain?" The girl's slightly lazy voice sounded.
"It's me, Sister Roland is really in the house, and everyone thought you went out." Ting Yu looked at this senior sister in casual clothes curiously. Today's Roland Hill seems to be different from the past.
In the past, Roland Hill was a very powerful, erudite, wise, and peaceful and flawless existence in her heart, but seeing the lazy Roland Hill today made Tingyu feel that this senior sister on the opposite side has a bit of a world. The smell of fireworks can't help but feel kinder.
"Well..." Roland Hill nodded slightly, but his eyelids seemed to have a tendency to close again, opening and closing.
"Hey, sister Loren, let's go to bed first. There is still more than a month until the conference. During this time, you don't have to be as tired as the pie." Yu Tingyu looked at Loren Hill and showed a shallow smile. , comforted some and quietly backed out.
"Thank you." Roland Hill replied simply, then walked to the bed again, got into the comfortable and soft bed, and fell asleep with peace of mind.
The two birds in the room were still standing on the wooden frame, Blue Crow closed her eyes when she saw the girl fell asleep, and slowly began to practice, while Dai Ju pretended to practice for a while, and saw that Roland Hill was really asleep. , So he sneaked down again, squatted down in the soft quilt, and fell asleep.
Cultivation is impossible, and it is just like eating and sleeping in order to live.
During sleep, Roland Hill felt that there seemed to be something warm at her feet. She couldn't help but kick it, but the thing seemed to be soft, so she stepped on it and continued to sleep until the weather outside changed and the sun rose and sunset.

Western Continent, Crancia Liuli Province.
This area originally belonged to the surroundings of Mozwa, Rurna, but because of the war a few years ago, Mozwa was destroyed, and even the underground faults of the city were burned into crystal glass by the fire from the sky, so it was renamed after the collection. Liuli Province.
Although Mozwa no longer exists, there are still many ancillary industrial buildings in the surrounding cities, such as steel mills and glass factories.
After reclaiming this area, after some discussions, the senior management of Crancia decided to use this area as the country's light industry production site to produce some daily needs but not particularly important products, such as glass, textiles, soap some type of.
As for the more critical steelworks, alchemy workshops, shipyards, and golem manufacturing workshops, they were all moved to the hinterland of Crancia, especially the area near the Mountains of Sighs.
First, it is farther away from the border of the Canghong Empire, which is more secure, and second, it is close to the mining area, which facilitates the transportation of raw materials nearby.
As for the mages and alchemists of the former Frost Alliance, they were all imprisoned and tried, and different punishments were given according to the degree of participation in the war.
The major factions that fought and launched wars in the past were disbanded, and some of their members were executed, some were reduced to prisoners, and they were not allowed to practice Transcendent Sequences again for life.
Participating in a lesser faction is to confiscate all property. Although you don't have to become a prisoner, you still need to serve the country for 5-10 years before you can recover your freedom.
The descendants and children of these factions will not be allowed to enter the public office of the country in the future, and even their education will be subject to certain restrictions.
It may seem cruel to outsiders, but revolution and war are not child's play, it's a life-and-death struggle. If the Frost and Frost United win, Crancia's situation will only be more miserable.
In fact, such a punishment is relatively light. After all, considering that members of the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua will be united in the future to jointly fight against the invasion of the Canghong Empire, the alchemists who were united by Frost and Frost in the past are mainly included.
just, even if
Editors, we must also get rid of the arrogance in it, otherwise they will not think that they are wrong, but will be proud of their talents, thinking that they are superior to others, and they can avoid punishment if they have the ability.
At the same time, treating these people too much is unfair to the soldiers and people who died in the war. Therefore, even if it is to appease and incorporate, there is a corresponding measure, and it is necessary to make these alchemists feel pain and fear, so that they can finally submit to the same idea, instead of still maintaining their own small circles and swaying at any time.
These measures and guidelines were set by Roland Hill before the decisive battle. At that time, as the war progressed, many Frost and Frost Union territories were incorporated under the command of Crancia, and she had foreseen the future situation.
Although Loren Hill is often soft-hearted in the face of people and things around her, it does not mean that she will be vague in principle. If she can't maintain justice and justice at the critical moment, the so-called ideal is just a joke. .
Now, after the Canghong Empire used troops on the Tianqi Fortress, a large number of troops passed through the Liuli Province and went to the Tianqi Fortress to fight at the border. The Liuli Province, which is a developed light industry, is also busy, and various materials are urgently processed.
In a factory, the metal gears turned continuously, the steam came out from the valve port from time to time, and the white raw silk rods were continuously rotated, and the silk threads were drawn out and added to the spinning machinery behind.
This is a textile factory that produces gauze, cotton wool, and tents. In its workshop, there are female workers wearing white scarves and masks, working intensely in this steamy space. The sound of machinery and transmission belts was everywhere, the gears were regularly tapped under the moisturization of lubricating oil, and the smell of cotton silk evaporated mixed with the smell of oil, which permeated everywhere.
Because it is a time of war, unlike in the past, these female workers often work until late before leaving get off work, but the advantage is that the state also gives a lot of subsidies. One of the skilled female workers can earn 24 silver coins per month, which is almost the same in a year. It's just 3 gold coins, which is a lot of money. In Liuli Province, an ordinary house in the city only costs 8-12 gold coins.
So despite being busy, everyone is still very happy, and even hope that this time will last longer.
After get off work, the clock hanging in the factory has reached 10 o'clock at night.
"Everyone, pack up and check before you leave to see if the machinery is closed properly..." An old lady with thick shoulders and waist raised her horn and patrolled the workshop, accompanied by three people who were also doing the same patrol.
"If there is a problem with the machine, or if there is an abnormal noise, please report it to me, and there will be craftsmen rushing to repair it overnight, so as to avoid delaying tomorrow's work, understand?" This small inspection team walked up to a high iron platform, yes He preached to the more than 300 female workers in the workshop.
"clear."
"Got it." A sparse voice sounded.
After a day's work, everyone was a little tired and didn't have the energy to answer, and they were a little tired of hearing these words every day.
Afterwards, the female workers in aprons walked out of the workshop in twos and threes and walked towards the dormitory in the dark.
"Huh, I finally got off work, my legs are sore from standing today."
"Hehe, what are you doing? Look, Sister Beina's legs were swollen last time." After taking off the masks, these female workers seemed to want to finish the day without saying anything.
"Then how was it resolved?"
"I don't know either. It seems to be bloodletting or ice packs or something."
"Do I still need ice packs? I think it's expensive to buy ice cubes, so it's better to save them." The brown-haired female worker was a little reluctant.
"Or you can find that one, doesn't she live in the dormitory next to you?" The companion on the side pointed to the front, and a girl walked alone in front. She seemed to have a good figure, with golden hair tied in a white turban. .
"Ah, Letis, she doesn't seem to get along with us. She feels very noble, so let's forget it."
"I heard that she used to have a good family background. She seems to be a noble lady. I don't think she looks down on us." Another short female worker also came over and whispered.
"It's hard to say, but if she's a noble lady, why isn't she locked up now? It's estimated that she thinks she has a bit of beauty and deliberately raises her status."
"Haha, your idea is quite real, haha. But even if the noble lady is so, she is not working in this factory with us. What's the use of being beautiful, and no man will come to see it."
Several people chatted and laughed wantonly, it seems that this kind of ridicule also made them a lot happier.
The blond girl in front still didn't look back, walking quietly in the darkness, crossing the street with sparse street lights, and heading towards the residence.
puff.
Maybe something was hidden in her heart, or maybe her consciousness drifted into the distant past, and the blonde girl accidentally stepped into a puddle. The cold and turbid sewage soaked the shoes in an instant, and the pants and apron were also mostly wet, stained with a layer of sediment.
She endured the pain in her ankle, stood up slowly with a bypass lamp, panting heavily, and it took a while for the pain to ease.
Afterwards, the girl found an abandoned wooden box on the side of the road, and after groping for a while, after confirming that there were no nails, she sat down carefully, then took off the leather shoes on her feet, poured out the sewage and sand, and then took off the wet socks. down.
A burst of cold breath gathered in the palm of the hand, and then moved closer to the ankle to ease the pain. After resting for a while, she slowly stood up, then put on cold shoes with bare feet, and continued to walk towards the residence.
When the closed door was opened, the lights in the dormitory had already been turned off, and several other people had also fallen asleep.
Letice carefully walked to the side, took off her shoes, and put on clogs on the side, trying not to make any noise during this period to wake her up.
His roommate, then she picked up the copper basin under the bed and walked to the hallway outside the dormitory. At the end of the aisle, there is a place for fetching water for bathing.
The cold water flowed from the faucet. Letice first rinsed her hands and feet, then untied the hair tie at the back of her head, dropped her still splendid blond hair, rinsed it off, and finally filled the water to the other side of the bath. Room scrub body.
After the end, she used weak magic power to dry her body before returning to the quiet dormitory.
Seeing that after putting the copper basin back on the bed, a voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
"Letisse, you're back."
Surprised, she raised her head suddenly, and accidentally bumped into the bed above, and there were several murmurs.
"Let no one sleep."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She explained uneasily, then lowered her head and looked at the roommate who greeted her.
"What's wrong, Lu Lisa?" This petite roommate is one of her few friends.
"I received a reply, come with me." After that, the roommate pulled him to the balcony outside the dormitory, where whispering would not disturb the resting people inside.
"Didn't you say last time that there is room for improvement in the spinning machine in the workshop? I posted the drawings you drew. Then when I got off work today, the doorman said there was a letter from me."
Said the girl took out an envelope and opened it.
[Dear Miss Lu Lisa:
I am very glad to receive the improvement drawings reported by you. After discussion and verification by several colleagues in the design institute, we believe that this is indeed an effective improvement idea. I believe that this will be used in the future spinning machine manufacturing. kind of structure.
Thank you for your suggestion. For the submitted drawings, the Design Institute has specially approved a bonus, and you can claim it at the nearby post office with this letter.
At the same time, if you intend to study in a regular college, we can also prepare a letter of recommendation for you. If you have relevant suggestions for improvement in the future, you can also submit to this email address...]
"You're rich, Letis, these are five gold coins." Lu Lisa lowered her voice, but said happily.
"Yeah." There was also a faint smile on Letis' tired face.
"Tomorrow we'll go get the bonus." After speaking, Lu Lisa began to think about how to divide the money, and finally she wanted to give all four of the gold coins to Letis.
"No, not so much. Just give me one." Letice nodded, then continued to look at the lively girl in front of her.
"Didn't you always want to go to school? Just take two gold coins to sign up, and the other two are for living expenses."
"But it's all thanks to Letis." Lu Lisa was a little puzzled.
"Maybe, but it's not very useful to give me money now, because of my status, I can't go to the academy." Lettis shook her head lowly, and then raised it again.
"Haven't you always dreamed of being there? If you want to become a great alchemist in the future, then go ahead, take my share, and do your best." Lettis said softly, holding Lu Lisa's shoulder.
"But... But what about you, Letis?" Lu Lisa looked at the pretty and plainly dressed girl.
"Where is your dream..."
