Chapter 61: The Past of the Blue Singer

"Thank you for the hospitality~"

After finishing the meal, Lorraine Hill and Lan Lier thanked Penny for the feast, and then prepared to leave for Teacher Filia's house.

"Will Feng Na come too? The teacher has spoken very well of you recently." Lan Lier suggested.

"Well, I'll go there later. If we all come together, we might disturb the teacher." Feng Nao shook his head slightly.

"Okay, let's go first." Then Lan Lier, Ling Xin, Lorraine Hill and others waved their hands, got on the carriage and left Feng Na's residence. As for Ye Ling, she said she felt sleepy again after eating and wanted to have a good sleep, so she decided not to go.

The carriage moved forward, walked through the long streets, turned a few corners, and came to Teacher Filia's usual place, the "Flower Beach" cold drink shop.

Compared with the past, the decoration style here has also changed a lot. It seems to have been renovated recently, and the overall appearance is cleaner. A lot of light white alchemy creations have been added to the store, which are used to make ice cream, cold drinks, pastries, and snacks. Category.

After greeting the maids on the first floor, they walked to the side stairs and headed to the third floor under the slightly surprised eyes of the guests.

The second floor is a dance studio used for training, and the third floor is Mrs. Philia's own writing space. There are also several dressing rooms for changing clothes or preparing for performances, and there are some placed in the corners. Musical instrument, frequently used by Lady Philia herself.

"We are here, Teacher Filia~"

Accompanied by the sound of thumping upstairs, Lan Lier ran up the stairs lively and opened the door as before.

"Okay, got it." came Mrs. Filia's nonchalant reply. She must have been used to Lan Lier's entrance method.

Afterwards, Lorraine Hill and others also walked into the room on the third floor. The furnishings here were not much different from the past.

Mrs. Philia is still sitting at the desk by the window at this moment, with scattered music scores and random words written in front of her. She was wearing a soft dark purple dress today, and a silver necklace pendant could be seen around her neck.

Although nearly 10 years have passed, Lady Philia still shows no signs of aging. Perhaps this is related to her partial elf blood.

After seeing Lorraine Hill's frail figure in the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but look up with surprise on her face.

"Is little Lacey back?"

"Well, hello, Teacher Filia." After approaching, Lorraine Hill lightly lifted the hem of her skirt and bent to salute. The afternoon sunlight fell through the window into the attic, and some dust floated gently beside the girl's side.

"She's still so beautiful, Lacey." Mrs. Philia looked at the girl and smiled.

"Come and sit here, I feel like I have a lot to ask you."

"Oh, Teacher Filia is partial. Every time I come here, she is so cold, but now I see little Lacey is so enthusiastic." Lan Lier complained unwillingly.

"I've long been used to you quarreling with me every day. How can I compare with Lacey." Mrs. Filia rolled her eyes at Lan Lier, then pulled Lorraine Hill over and looked at her carefully.

"It's really the same as before, no change." She looked at the height above Lorraine Hill's head, and then glanced at the girl's slender figure that remained unchanged.

Seeing Mrs. Philia looking at herself with a professional look, Lorraine Hill felt slightly ashamed, but still stood quietly and let the other party watch.

"Where have you been all these years? I haven't heard from you for a long time, but I'm very worried." Holding Lorraine Hill's little hand, Mrs. Philia asked her to sit next to her, and the two talked quietly on the sofa. stand up.

"After I graduated, I went to sea for a trip to the East, but then the sea route was cut off, so I was stranded there for a long time." Lorraine Hill explained briefly.

"I see, the east side is also very exciting, but unfortunately I have only heard about it and never been there."

"On the contrary, the former opera troupe leader once visited the Eastern Continent and told me some of his deeds."

"Over there, in the homeland of the Five Blue Bird Kingdoms, there are many factions who are good at music, and among them there are craftsmen who specialize in making musical instruments."

"However, the music system in the Eastern Continent is quite different from ours, and many instruments cannot be used universally." Mrs. Filia recalled the words of the old leader with a gray beard and slowly told the story.

"Hey, has Uncle Homut ever been to such a far place?" Lan Lier was lying on the sofa on the other side, her two calves wrapped in white silk raised up behind her from time to time, and asked slightly curiously.

"Yes, although I am more famous than Captain Homet, in terms of knowledge, I may not be as good as him." Mrs. Philia shook her head.

Although Mrs. Filia has inherited the position of head of the Fenghua Opera Troupe and is also a famous Cang Diva, she has been teaching in Emenas for these years and has gone to fewer places.

"When I was young and not very famous, I went to many places with the opera troupe and performed everywhere..." As she spoke, Mrs. Philia recalled her youth.

"Teacher, I was also a beauty at that time, haha." She thought of some interesting things, covered her mouth and chuckled.

"That's for sure. Teacher Filia is also very beautiful now." Lan Lier praised at the side, and Ling Xin, who was sitting on the wooden chair, also nodded.

"Now, it's definitely not as good as before." Teacher Filia shook her head gently, but she didn't feel sad at all. She seemed to no longer care about this kind of thing.

"At that time, I was attending banquets and gatherings of the prince and princess level. I had also performed at the Silver Key Elf Theater in Titania before." She told her astonishing past calmly. Lan Lier only heard this. Tongue smacking

surprise.

"The title of Blue Songstress was not obtained out of thin air. There were many powerful competitors along the way."

"I remember that when I was in the empire, I met two people. One was the daughter of a viscount family. She had moving eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and her singing voice was as charming as the sea breeze. The other was a young lady from the Trey family. , she was wearing a black crow dress, and her voice was distant and mysterious, coming slowly like the clear mist in the mountains, making people sink into it."

"Then how did the teacher defeat them?" Lan Li'er and Ling Xin asked curiously. At this time, Lorraine Hill couldn't help but pricked his ears.

"Well, let's talk about the grand celebration that year..." Mrs. Philia slowly told the story of the past.

"It was the emperor's birthday at that time, and the eldest prince had just come of age and was not yet married. Many aristocratic girls wanted to express themselves at the banquet, and many opera troupes were also invited to perform in the imperial capital to celebrate. I was going with the group at that time, Even though he is famous, he was also invited..."

"At first, the leader was a little worried. He was afraid that because of my outstanding performance, I would be favored by some unreasonable nobles."

"In the imperial capital, beautiful girls can easily become the prey of certain people if they don't have the power to protect them."

"However, the inviter was Earl Sefort, who is in charge of palace affairs. It was difficult to refuse, so in the end I reluctantly agreed."

"After arriving in the Imperial Capital, we were surprised by the prosperity there. We went shopping with many companions, and it was also there that I met an elf girl."

"After she heard that I was a singer, she was very interested, so I exchanged a lot of experiences with her. It was obvious that she was also a music lover."

"After learning about my situation, she offered to help, and not long after, I received an invitation letter from the Landsworth family."

"The Landsworth family is the unicorn duke among the four dukes. They have great power. I was invited to perform at the banquet at the Duke's Palace first. It was because of this that I became famous, and my fame began to spread within the aristocratic circle."

"When I competed with the two singers on stage later, I also gained many fans and fans, so that I had a fairer foundation." Mrs. Philia gradually recalled the past events.

"Later, the elf girl said that I actually have some elf blood, so I had a lot of favorable impressions from the beginning."

"Finally, at the celebration, the two singers and I performed on the stage one after another, and finally won, fulfilling the title of 'Blue Songstress'." Mrs. Filia slowly recounted the experience of more than 50 years. past events.

"What's the name of that elf?" Lorraine Hill asked at this time.

"Athea, I later found out that she is the princess of the forest elves."

"That's it..." Lorraine Hill thought thoughtfully.

The elf princess Aitesi who came back with her is Athea's sister. They are the twin princesses of the forest elf clan and are also strong candidates for the next elf queen.

I don't think that more than 50 years ago, the two elf princesses came of age. No wonder Aitesi refused to tell her age. This guy relied on the fact that he was an elf and said that age should not be determined simply by the year, but also by physiology. And she is still It is the growing adolescence.

The adolescence of forest elves lasts for 100 years, and they reach maturity only after they are 100 years old.

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but shake her head. Sure enough, the condition of elves cannot be calculated based on human years.

"Okay, there are only so many stories. The other things are relatively mundane. Most of them are performing around with the opera troupe, traveling, seeing the scenery and so on."

"This sounds very good, and I'm a little envious of it." Lan Lier put her hand on her chin, and many imaginary pictures seemed to appear in her eyes.

"How about we do the same in the future..."

While Lan Lier was immersed in fantasy, Mrs. Philia and Lorraine Hill slowly began to exchange their knowledge of the East.

In this way, time passed slowly, and by the time Mrs. Philia stopped speaking without finishing her words, nearly an hour had passed.

"Looking at it this way, the East seems to have reached another extreme in classical music." She seemed to be feeling emotional, and then slowly put it down, and Lorraine Hill also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she didn't pay much attention to music in the East. She had to think hard and recall many details.

"You've probably been tired after talking to me for so long, hahaha." She couldn't help but smile when she saw Lorraine Hill trying to stop her from continuing to ask.

"Go down and have something to eat. The store has recently prepared a new taro juice. It tastes pretty good. You can try it." She stood up and took a few people to the store on the first floor to sit down, and then asked Several maids served several recent new products.

"You can also try this. Girls will probably like it." As she said this, Mrs. Philia pushed a small plate over the table, with several colorful and beautiful macaron cookies placed in it. These biscuits are round in shape, slightly chubby, and soft in color, giving them a cute feel.

"Thank you." Lorraine Hill nodded and took the plate of snacks.

I always feel that Mrs. Philia still treats her as a child, but judging from her age, this seems to be the case.

Lorraine Hill ate the snacks in small bites, then held the cold juice in his hands, leaned on the wooden chair woven with vines, and gradually relaxed his body.

The sweet and glutinous taste of taro slowly enters the mouth along the straw, gradually spreads, and then enters the abdomen, and a faint happiness emerges.

After a while, Lan Lier suddenly announced after drinking the juice.

"I made a decision

, I also want to form an opera troupe to travel around and perform, so that I can not only expand my fame, but also see the scenery and travel everywhere! "The girl recounted a bold idea.

"You have to find a lot of people for this, and there are a lot of chores. It may not be as beautiful as you think." Ling Xin poured cold water on it from the beginning. She was not like Lan Lier, who had lived in the city since she was a child. Ling Xin, who had been wandering around with caravans since she was a child, did not think it was a comfortable life.

"I have to try this. Although I know what Ling Xin said is true, I still want to try it. I am serious this time." Lan Lier said in a rare serious tone.

"Don't be so impatient, calm down first." Mrs. Philia shook her head and then spoke.

"Why don't you two stay with the Fenghua Opera Troupe for a while? They just have plans to tour the north recently. Get used to it first. By the way, if you want to learn, you can also ask the supervisors of the opera troupe to see how they usually do. How to deal with strangers, and how to manage team members and supplies."

"Wow, it sounds very difficult." Lan Lier immediately wanted to retreat and raised her hands in the air.

"Isn't that what you just said? It's not good to regret it so quickly." Mrs. Filia looked at Lan Lier with a smile.

"Uh, this, this, let me get ready. Girls need good things on the road, right? Besides, I'm an alchemist, so I have to bring some experimental instruments and alchemy props, right?" Lan Lier looked aside, He crossed his fingers and thought about how to escape the teacher's grasp.

Unfortunately, under Mrs. Philia's substantial gaze, Lan Lier had nowhere to escape, and finally agreed to the confirmed date and itinerary.

"I always feel that what Teacher Filia said today is a trap to lure me into it. Teacher knows my character too well, wuwu." Afterwards, Lan Lier complained to Lingxin in a low voice, talking about her dissatisfaction. Being cautious, Ling Xin had no choice but to respond in a dumbfounded way.

After several people finished their cold drinks, Lan Lier and Ling Xin left first.

Seeing Lan Lier's running steps, Filia shook her head slightly, smiled, and then spoke to Lorraine Hill beside her.

"Did I scare you too? I've been disturbed by Lan Lier for a long time recently. I want to find something for her to do."

"She is always full of energy and can't settle down. She would probably be uncomfortable being stuck in one place like this. However, she is afraid of hardship and tiredness. She must have a direction and goal that interests her in order to be motivated. Do it.”

"I hope that after traveling to many places, this child will slowly grow and mature." Mrs. Philia is worthy of being a teacher in the academy and still maintains the idea of ​​​​cultivating talents.

"Okay, it's just the two of us now, let's continue chatting. I know that little Lacey is very extraordinary." After saying this, the still beautiful lady winked at Lorraine Hill. .

"Uh, okay." Not knowing which of her identities was exposed, the girl nodded helplessly, and then continued back to the attic with Mrs. Filia.

After sitting on the sofa again, the sky outside gradually darkened. The purple-flamed sunset sky and the light red afterglow shone into the room from the glass window, and some sounds of birdsong flew past the window.

Mrs. Philia closed the door and sat opposite the girl, her face a little hazy in the dusk light.

"Actually, Lacey is Lorraine Hill, the star witch of Clancia."
