Chapter 161 The Fairy Tree Spreading on the Mountains
Several white tits squatted by the window, chirping, pecking at the glass on the window from time to time, making a slight noise.
The decoration style in the room is very warm. There are several animal wood carvings sent by the name of the village on the wooden frame. Some are simple and honest black pine boars, some are gray-haired deer with their heads raised, and some red-haired people with their bodies turned up. Flame lynx.
The walls are a light camel color, and the furniture is made of fir from the nearby mountains and forests, and there is still a bit of woody fragrance. On the pure white woven bed, Loren Hill is sleeping soundly.
A few tits by the window saw that the 'big bird' inside didn't come out. They pecked the window a few times, and then flew away. They made an appointment to go to the lake on the other side of the mountain to eat berries, and they didn't wait for the big guy inside. .
Near noon, Roland Hill woke up soothingly and sat up from the bed.
Well, don't stay up late in the future, I feel very bad.
Shaking her head to wake herself up a little, the girl put on her shoes and went to the vanity mirror on the side to comb her hair, and then changed into the clothes she was going to wear today.
After thinking for a while, she put down the usual oriental wind dress and put on a set of clothes in the style of an imperial noble girl. This was recently given to her by Gavier, and it is said that it was made by a tailor in the city. The lower body is black stockings with a knee-length red pleated skirt, the upper body is a closed shirt and waist, and then there is a lighter short shawl on the shoulders.
Looking at herself in the mirror, the girl felt that this dress was very similar to when Emenas was studying in the past, that would be at the Walled College, and the same was true for herself, often wearing black and red dresses, black hair and red pupils, and Ti goes to get out of class together.
Be nostalgic.
Putting the strands of hair in front of her behind her shoulders, the girl's hair color changed to light blue again, and then she walked out. Today, she will start working again.
After developing from the Viscounty of Winrani as a stronghold, the nobles of the Dragon Cape Province were roughly united.
Of course, Loren Hill knew that they didn't have much sincerity, they were just taking the situation. But what does it matter, if she doesn't want to keep a low profile for a while now, she doesn't want to do so much cover up work.
As long as they are on their side on the surface, the operatives within the organization can easily penetrate the entire province without worrying about being wanted and killed as they used to.
By the way, these people who are ready to innovate and change the empire and share a common ideal have named their organization 'Fairy Wood'.
Fairy trees, Rosaceae plants, mostly grow in alpine permafrost, because they like cold, such plants are not common in the environment where people live, but it does not mean that they are rare, and they often grow in large areas as soon as they appear.
Pieces of fairy trees will bloom on the cold high mountains, with white petals, a circle of bright yellow stamens filaments in the middle, and a pale yellow style in the middle, like a sunflower heart that has shrunk many times.
Such flowers are particularly cold-resistant. In the past, the locals only saw a few on the top of the mountain, but now they can see a large number of them on the hillside, because the tracts of fairy trees are blooming on the cold and lonely mountains, which has a sacred beauty. People thought it was a good omen, so the organization finally chose this code name as its name.
Like a fairy tree, it blooms in the wild.

Walking into the lord's mansion, one staff member greeted the green-haired girl, and then continued to hold various documents, busy registering and recording the reports.
Now the place is getting more and more lively, and many mature people who have received education and training have joined it to assist Roland Hill in handling various matters. flowers shape badge for identity.
"Good morning, Miss Jialan."
In the conference room, Gavier was sitting at the table with a cup of steaming black tea in front of her. It seemed that she had just arrived.
"Good morning, Miss Gavier, and Iyena." The girl nodded and sat down immediately.
Afterwards, Guhuass, Lubin, and the armor-covered 'knight' also stepped into the conference room and sat down.
These are the five people in charge of the territory today, and most of the matters and policies are decided by this conference room.
"Is there any new news recently?" Roland Hill took out the pen and held it in the palm of his hand, looking at Lubin beside him.
The elder and leader of the 'Fairy Wood' is not only a financial officer in the territory, but also an intelligence leader, sorting out news from all parties.
Lubin pushed down his glasses, then opened the pages of paper in his hands, and began to describe them one by one.
"The first is the news from the northern part of the empire. Now the cold wave is still going on. Even though it's already June, the temperature in most areas is still very low, and the snow does not melt, making it impossible to grow crops and grazing."
"Considering that there should be food or remnants of food last year, but it hasn't warmed up in the second year, I'm afraid it will lead to a terrifying famine." His tone was slightly worried.
"Then there is news from the imperial capital Titenya. Because the emperor's child is about to turn three years old this year, many great nobles will go to celebrate, and it should be very lively at that time, and the southern border will be settled a lot at this stage."
"This is a good opportunity for us, hehe." Gu Huasi smiled and patted the table with his thick palms.
"In addition, because the search for several months has not found any news of the Red Dragon Princess, now the military has gradually given up and began to reduce the dispatch of investigators, and concentrate on training and expanding troops."
"It's good news and bad news." Roland Hill nodded slightly.
"Finally, it's the situation in Longjiao Province that we are gradually grasping now." Lubin paused and then introduced.
"Dragon Horn Province is located on the northwest side of the southern border, that is, above the dragon head, close to the edge of the western border and the central part, with about 4 million people, under 2 counties, 16 viscounts, 68 barons, canonized knights More than 600 people."
"Currently, Longjiao Province reserves about 100,000 tons of grain, mostly in the castles and warehouses of nobles. Civilians only account for about 30%, which is barely enough for the entire province for three months."
"See the famine in the north, and the impact of the cold wave across the empire, food will be in short supply in the next few years."
"Then how much food can our territory and Longjiao Province save this year?" Gewell asked curiously.
"Because of large-scale expansion and reclamation in our territory, and with the help of Miss Jialan, about 150,000-25 tons of grain can be harvested this year, which means that it can provide food for residents in the territory for more than two years." Facts This is still Lubin's slightly conservative calculation result, after all, he has never seen the girl's real methods.
It's still not enough, Roland Hill thought silently in his heart, it was already fast, but compared to the entire southern border, or the empire, it was nothing but a drop in the bucket.
It has to be faster, and strive to integrate resources as soon as possible to reduce internal friction.
In addition, I don’t know how the witches on the empire’s side view the cold wave in the north. Will they be more anxious than themselves, or are they indifferent?
In other words, taking advantage of this stable time, maybe I should go to other places in the southern border to see if there are opportunities in other places, or to say, like-minded potential allies.
To do great things, you still need people. As you and Pullman said in the past, with more people, you will have more power. This is exactly what you want to change the empire.
...
"Then let's end the day here."
After discussing some recent matters, the meeting ended, and Roland Hill stood up.
"I am afraid that I will temporarily leave the territory for a while."
"Is something wrong? Jialan." Gavier looked up, slightly curious.
"Well, because our purpose is not just the Longjiao Province. Now that the surrounding situation is gradually controlled and stabilized, it is time to go out and have a look." Roland Hill talked about his plan to travel around the southern provinces in the next few months.
She plans to go to other provinces to see if she can support forces with common aspirations, or let the members of the 'Fairy Wood' organization spread more.
"Will it be unsafe to act alone?" Gerwell didn't understand the strength of this Miss Jialan, but looking so young, it shouldn't be particularly powerful, probably?
"Don't worry about this." Roland Hill waved his hand, saying that he hadn't been underestimated for a long time.
"Don't worry, I will use the letter bird to contact me from time to time, about the level of one letter in 2-3 days."
Seeing this eldest lady was still a little worried, the girl had no choice but to raise her hand to show it. A tiny seed sprouted in the palm of the hand, and quickly extended outwards, gradually forming a natural wooden long sword.
Holding it in the palm of her hand, she simply waved it, and a sword beam slashed out of the window, but before she flew out of the room, the girl's figure was like a blurred TV scene, and the trajectory in front of the window appeared, and another sword , to block his own attack.
The time difference between the front and back was less than a second, and the silent and ghostly movement made the people in the hall startled.
Gu Huasi: Unexpectedly, this is a rare strong person, I would fight her, and it is estimated that the win rate is not large.
Lubin: As expected of a hero, so powerful, maybe such a person can save his sister from the chaos.
Iyena: Sister Messia is really good, but that night, I felt that she could be even more powerful.
Gavier: Is this Jialan's true strength? Even in the East, such talent can be considered rare.

In the following June, Guwas was busy following the classics left by Roland Hill, and continued to train those 'Knights of the Lake'. With the remainder of Lubin's financial work, he began to improve the training system of the 'Fairy Wood', and tried his best to do as much as possible. remain hidden.
And our Star Witch once again got on the carriage and headed south. This time, she might go to the southernmost point of the empire, Linchao Port.
There, she will receive support from the Far South Islands. After her arrangement, the Karites Chamber of Commerce has now begun to prepare all kinds of weapons, armor, quarters, cannons, and even skilled personnel and craftsmen.
These cargo fleets will arrive at the Empire in batches, and the earliest batch is also scheduled to arrive at the end of August.
