Chapter 474: Questions and Answers During a Walk in the Woods

"Ah~ yawn~"

Sitting on the bed, Tilan was still a little sleepy. She looked out the window. It seemed to be night now. How many days had she slept?

Uncovering the quilt and walking downstairs in slippers, Tilan saw Ge Yin sitting in the restaurant eating.

Tilting her head slightly, Tilan was curious that Ge Yin was willing to come out for dinner today.

In addition to Ge Yin, there were two maids in the restaurant. One of them helped Ge Yin serve the warm soup after the meal, and the other was waiting on one side of the restaurant.

"Hello, Your Highness Tilan." She bowed slightly when she saw Tilan come in.

"Well, how many shifts do you work in now?" Tilan remembered what she had told the maids some time ago.

"Work in four shifts, which means one day of work and one day of rest." The maid replied.

"Although you have received education before, the current technology is definitely more iterative and advanced than a hundred years ago. You can learn something interesting when you have time."

"Yes, Your Highness." The maid nodded. During this period, they did read books and study. Because of Tilan, they could use the terminal in the mansion to connect to the school's library, which contained complete information on various industries, and even a lot of experience and secrets of the extraordinary sequence.

"If you don't understand something, you can also ask me. If I don't understand it, I will ask the teacher." Tilan blinked and told these maids a trick.

"Yeah."

After briefly chatting with the maid about the recent situation, Tilan also sat next to Ge Yin, and soon the maid brought the prepared dinner.

The main course was a hot and fragrant roast duck, with vegetable strips and rice on the side. As an Oriental, Tilan still prefers rice to bread.

Sipping the cool soda drink, Tilan felt refreshed. After a few days of rest, she felt that she was in a good state now. Maybe she could calm down even when reading particularly obscure and complicated learning materials.

Using chopsticks to peel off the crispy skin on the roast duck, then picking up a small piece and dipping it in some sauce, Tilan slowly savored today's dinner, while Ge Yin beside her ate beef brisket stewed with tomatoes and occasionally drank a sip of hot vegetable soup.

The two didn't talk much while eating. First, Ge Yin was taciturn, and second, Tilan preferred to concentrate on enjoying the food while eating.

When Ge Yin finished eating, Tilan had only finished half of her meal. Ge Yin stood up and sat down in the room on the side of the restaurant, then took out his personal terminal and began to check messages and replies, while waiting for Tilan to finish dinner.

Ten minutes later, Tilan also finished her meal and walked out of the restaurant, so Ge ​​Yin stood up and followed her, and the two went for a walk in the yard outside the mansion.

It was a bit cold in the winter night, but the climate in the Academy City was suitable, with the lowest temperature being only 5-6 degrees, far less cold than the Emerald Skirt.

The two walked together for a while, and it was a little quiet in the middle. Until they turned a corner, Tilan turned around and looked at the girl with silver-green hair beside her.

"Ge Yin is worried." She is a singer, and her talent is not low, so she can naturally sense the abnormality of her friend.

"Yeah." Ge Yin nodded, but did not explain.

In this regard, Tilan did not ask, but just accompanied her, and the two continued to walk.

The small garden next to the mansion is usually taken care of by the maids. There are a few flowers that Tilan likes planted here, some of which are "glow flowers", which bloom at night and emit a faint fluorescence.

Tilan stopped, squatted down, looked at the flowers blooming in it carefully, and touched it gently with her fingers to feel the delicate stamens in the delicate petals.

"It looks very beautiful." She still likes this kind of flower very much, especially at night, it looks particularly beautiful.

Because Tilan stopped, Ge Yin also stood aside, looking at the girl in front of her stroking the petals.

For some reason, her heart gradually calmed down.

"Tilan."

"What's the matter."

"Do you think people should be equal?" She suddenly asked a special question.

"No." Tilan answered calmly.

"Why?"

"Because it's unfair."

"People are born different and do different things. Why should they be treated equally?" The girl stood up.

"Forced equalization will only make people bored, because it means that the efforts of some people are in vain."

"Similarly, why should good people and bad people be treated equally? I like good people, so I should treat them well. I hate bad people, so I won't sympathize with them."

"Well, I know." Ge Yin nodded.

"Thank you Tilan."

"Nothing, just." Tilan stood up halfway.

"Ge Yin suddenly asked this. Did he encounter any philosophical problems?" Tilan turned her head with a little curiosity.

"Because I'm often on the Internet, I meet a lot of people with different ideas." Seeing Tilan looking at her, Ge Yin lowered her head. In fact, she was a little afraid to look Tilan in the eye.

"I met a group of different people recently. They think that companions should form a circle of equality and mutual assistance, and then fight against the oppression of the outside world." Ge Yin said in a low voice.

"It's a good idea." Tilan nodded in praise.

"But didn't Tilan just say it's wrong?"

"No, I just said 'it shouldn't be'."

"Everyone can yearn for and try this kind of relationship, but if it is an obligation and a necessary responsibility, fairness should be the first priority, and equality second."

"How to explain it? If everyone is responsible for something, then no one is responsible. If no matter how much effort is made, the result is the same as everyone else, then no one will work anymore."

"This is very unreasonable and will not last long."

"Although it is a bit cruel, I also realize that even the most equal organization should have responsibilities and division of labor. Since there are different responsibilities, there will be different rights. So I say that absolute equality is impossible." Tilan explained slowly.

"As for me, I yearn for fairness, but fairness and equality sometimes conflict with each other."

After listening to Tilan's explanation, Ge Yin thought for a while and nodded.

"I understand now." She felt much more relaxed.

"Okay, go back and rest. Don't go online tonight."

Tilan took Ge Yin forward. Soon, the two of them passed through a forest and returned to the gate of the mansion again.

Back in the house, Ge Yin and Ti Lan took a bath and sat for a while, then Ge Yin went back to her room to sleep. As for Ti Lan, she slept until night and was not sleepy at this time, so she sat in the study and read a book.

When it was late at night, Ti Lan put down the book again and went to the underground training ground.

Speaking of which, she had not practiced the abilities related to the natural sequence for a long time. It was rare that she had free time recently, and she didn't have to go out or hide.

Thinking of what she had learned recently, Ti Lan closed her eyes, and then slowly opened them again. A faint emerald green light appeared in the corners of her eyes, and then a light blue phoenix feather mark appeared between her eyebrows.

The secret technique of the Qingluan lineage will have this mark after practicing to a high level. If it was in ancient times, it would probably appear at Sequence 7, but now she has not yet advanced to Sequence 6, and it has vaguely appeared.

Without using special skills, relying purely on the coordination and assistance of herself and the environment, Ti Lan felt that her body was getting lighter and lighter, and then slowly floated up, and her body moved in the air like a swimming fish.

Then she spread her arms lightly, and a phoenix pattern with its wings spread faintly appeared in the air behind her. Then her figure was like lightning, and she quickly shuttled through the underground training ground. After more than ten seconds, she gently fell from the air without raising a trace of dust.

After standing on the ground, Tilan raised one hand lightly, and then several emerald swords appeared at her side, each of which was crystal clear.

Holding one of them, Tilan practiced the Qingluan swordsmanship she had learned before, and after each practice, she put down a sword and held another one.

In this way, when she finished practicing all of them, there were already dozens of emerald long swords inserted in the ground of the underground training ground.

Loosening the hilt, Tilan's fingers changed, and as a complex engraving appeared in her palm, the emerald sword that had been inserted into the ground before turned into powder and dissipated.

The howling wind blew in the underground training ground, blowing continuously, and fine wind erosion scratches began to appear on the remaining plates on the ground. Then the wind stopped suddenly, and the entire underground training ground became clear and clean again.

After that, Tilan stood in place, raised one hand gently, and then a blue glow appeared behind her. This glow had a gradual color change and was extremely beautiful. It briefly illuminated the entire underground training ground. The field that was formed afterwards purified and eliminated all other magic particles except the natural sequence, and the entire training ground began to grow various plants and flowers.

Light green branches also stretched out between Tilan's sleeves, wrapped her wrists, and then two blue roses bloomed in her palms.

After that, the stamens of the two roses continued to lengthen, stretching to form two blue-green flower bud swords.

Unlike the cold and murderous blade of the Withering Sequence, these two swords are full of life and can be used to assist in the use of various natural sequence spells.

After getting familiar with and practicing, Tilan returned to her room to rest until the night was over.

——————

A few days later, a rare high school reunion was held. Those present were all acquaintances who had not seen each other for half a year, such as Allen, Jinsenke, Iyepel, Gu Luo, Phyllis, and so on.

Since graduating from high school, they all went to their respective universities, some in the Academy City, some in the Twin Trees Star Region, and some in the Feather Star Region. Because they were not too far apart, this reunion went quite smoothly.

"Come on, congratulations to President Tilan on the success of her new album~" Jinsenke raised a golden beer glass and shouted loudly, and the others also stood up with a smile.

"Congratulations to President Tilan~" Everyone also looked at the black-haired girl sitting at the top.

"Thank you everyone." Tilan raised the glass and took a sip, with a slight shyness on her cheeks.

She doesn't drink much, and this time she chose a low-proof fruit beer.

"Okay, let's leave Tilan alone." Ruby was beside the girl, helping her deal with the booing classmates.

Soon there was a burst of laughter on the table. In fact, no one would force Tilan to drink too hard, but they just wanted to see Tilan's shy and embarrassed look.

After that, everyone sat down together and talked about their college experiences.

"Valk is in the 'Aries Academy' in the Feiyu Star Region. He is currently the object of many freshmen girls' affection. I heard that he was invited to a date by more than a dozen girls during the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival some time ago." Jin Senke said meanly.

Valk had no choice but to explain: "In fact, most girls are also booing, not what he said. As for why he became famous, it was also because of a small thing."

"A small thing, haha, because Valk was favored by the eldest lady of the White Lake Group in the freshman competition on campus, and took the initiative to show his affection to him, but he declined on the spot, and now Valk is famous throughout the school."

Although the White Lake Group is not a giant enterprise, it is also a fairly large company, with a market value even larger than the "Hot Lizard Power" of the Jinsenke family.

"This kind of thing is just a whim, don't take it seriously." Valk explained again. After spending a few years in the Edes Academy, he was very clear about the order of the upper class. Unless he entered Sequence 7, he would not be in the eyes of others.

"Okay, I won't say it, hahaha." Jinsenke patted Valk's shoulder while laughing.

Although the two have very different personalities, they have a good relationship. Because Jinsenke is also in the Feiyu Star Region, they often visit each other.

"Is Tilan used to staying in the Golden Flame Flower Academy?" Dolores, on the right side of the girl, spoke softly in the noisy environment.

"I'm used to it, what about Dolores?"

"I don't have to worry, because it's a business-oriented university, and there is no pressure to find a job and advance." Dolores explained.

"After parting with Tilan, I also missed her a little." She sighed a little.

"How about staying in Academy City for a few days before leaving? After all, there is still more than a week left in the holiday." Feiyu Star Region and Cuiyue Star Region are not far apart, and can be reached in one day by taking a fast starship.

"Well, okay." Dolores thought for two seconds and nodded in agreement.

"Isn't Avni here?" Tilan was curious about why the goldfish princess didn't come today.

"She is indeed a little busy. It seems that she was pulled by the faction to study." Dolores helped to explain.

"When Avni was a child, she was favored by the Red Death faction. Her godmother, Jankafoni, promised that as long as she entered Sequence 5, she would be accepted as a core member of the faction."

"Now she has gone to the Fire Scythe Academy sponsored by the Red Death faction. She is also in intensive training during the holidays and cannot come out at the moment."

"I see."

After that, everyone talked about their college life. Among them, Allen, Phyllis, and Iyepel were all studying in the Twin Trees Star Region where the elves were concentrated. It can be said that it is the base camp of the elf families in the Federation, especially the big families of the forest elves, which are almost all gathered there. The elder sister Andusia, who is familiar to Tilan, is also from there.

"Seraphiel, Bettina, are also in the Feather Star Region." Dolores explained the situation there to Tilan.

The four major star regions in the Central Star Region have their own characteristics. The Twin Trees Star Region is where the elves gather, the Feather Star Region has many churches and religious forces, the Emerald Moon Star Region has a strong commercial atmosphere, and the Flower Crown Star Region is the political and military center of the Federation.

The high school reunion, which had not been held for too long, ended in joy and excitement. Although we are now separated, everyone still feels close to each other. If this kind of friendship can last a lifetime, it must be a happy thing.
