Lilia sat until the lecture in the academic hall was over before she was able to stand up and move her stiff limbs.
As the main culprit, she was regarded as a key target for education by the old man. Not only did she have to attend classes longer than Alvia and Imiya, but she also had to hand in her feedback.
If she hadn't been unable to defeat him, Lilia would have lifted off the roof long ago.
Taking the purple flowers that fell from the sky, Lilia looked at the white marks in the flowers that looked like stars, showing a disdainful expression.
She immediately wanted to destroy this very eye-catching flower, but just as she was about to exert her strength, a more brilliant idea emerged from her mind. Lilia paused, suddenly changed her mind, and followed the crowd towards the gate.
At the entrance of the lobby, two little girls in plain clothes were carrying flower baskets and casting expectant looks at everyone walking out of the lobby.
The vast majority of the audience chose to throw the scroll star flower in their hands, but when it was Lilia's turn, she made a fuss without any surprise.
Want flowers?
Lilia glanced at the flower basket, sneered, and walked over without looking back.
Not only did she not throw flowers, the little girls also saw her break the curly star flowers in her hands and roughly crumble them into a ball.
That contemptuous attitude and provocative behavior made them all look dissatisfied, but they took into account the identity of the other guests and did not dare to say anything.
Feeling the gaze of the two little carrot heads, Lilia didn't feel any guilt for bullying the children. She hummed softly and burned the crushed flowers to ashes.
The flames flashed past, and the witch, who successfully made the two little girls so angry that their eyes turned red, swaggered out of the academic hall with her hands behind her back under the complicated gazes of the people around her.
And almost at the same moment when she destroyed the Curly Star Flower, Meili, who was far away on the other side of Raleye City, also met the little girl holding a flower basket. After politely thanking her, she followed the guidance of her friend and took three bouquets. come out.
"What is this? Herb?"
Merry asked curiously after sizing up the flowers in his hands twice.
"That's right, but it's usually not of much use."
The female companion gently sniffed the flowers in her hands and replied: "This flower is called curly star flower. It is a kind of medicinal herb that grows near Laleye City. It can be used to make insect-proof herb bags and can also be used as a neutralizer in some medicines. , but generally speaking, it is dispensable and of no great use."
"But who made it grow and grow in a good place? Because it is the most famous flower near R'lyeh City, and it blooms pretty well, so many years ago, the curling star flower was selected as the most beautiful flower in R'lyeh City. "City Flower", the city issues a large number of collection tasks to surrounding people every year to hold various activities."
"Holding an event using herbs as decorations? This is too extravagant!"
Merry subconsciously questioned this wasteful behavior.
The female companion was very dissatisfied with her style, which was called "thrifty" at best and "stingy" at worst. She immediately helped to defend her: "Isn't it because the quantity is too much? Normal consumption can't be used up. In addition to taking If you want to use this cheap medicinal herb as an event prop, what else can it be used for? Wouldn’t it be a pity to throw it away?”
After saying that, without giving Meri a chance to continue asking, "Then why do you need to issue a large number of collection tasks?", the female companion took the lead and blocked her mouth.
"And there is some consideration in this to provide the surrounding villages with a way to make a living. Otherwise, these people may not be able to afford food just by themselves. My eldest lady, do you think 'not wasting' is more important, or human life is more important?" important?"
Meri had nothing to say and could only nodded in understanding.
Indeed, although people living near Raleye City are safe, they have also lost many opportunities to make money through adventure. For ordinary people, the commission from Raleye City is almost their most important livelihood. Means, if there is one less mission to collect the Curly Star Flower, many people may lose their livelihood jobs.
Therefore, even though it is not really needed, Raleye City’s collection commissions have never stopped.
"Later, because I spent too much money and couldn't consume it, I came up with the usage of voting props like this in your and my hands... I'll take you to see it!"
Halfway through the words, the female companion felt that it would be better for her to see with her own eyes, so she looked around, quickly locked on the target, and trotted over with the person in hand.
Meili was pulled to the display stand with a confused look on his face. Before he could see any clues, he was introduced by the people next to him: "This is the display stand. All professionals can go up to show off their professional characteristics, or a certain item." If the audience feels proud of the research results, they can put their own curly star flowers into the basket on the side."
"The number of curly star flowers finally obtained will be recorded and added together with the evaluation votes obtained from the lectures, as the basis for selection after the academic exchange meeting."
"The votes will be counted when the time comes. If you get more Curly Star Flowers, you can also get a commemorative gift from R'lyeh City."
It was the first time that Meili, who had just arrived, heard about the existence of this kind of "show" link, and it was quite novel for a while.
She looked at the dancing girl on the stage and couldn't help but rub the hair that fell in front of her twice.
"The one above seems to be a new profession called 'War Dancer'. I heard that anyone who sees them dancing will receive some kind of special bonus."
As she spoke, the female companion moved her limbs, showing an eagerness to try.
Before Merry was mentally prepared, she threw something away from her. As soon as he could hold it firmly, he saw his companion taking over from the war dancer and jumping onto the display stage lightly.
Her companion is a magician who has followed the orthodox path. He is very knowledgeable in the fusion of elements and has even developed a few secret techniques. Although it is not too advanced, in the current environment, it is difficult to It's more than enough to join in the fun.
Finally, in a small explosion caused by the fusion of water and fire elements, Meri's companion picked up her skirt, bowed slightly to the audience, and walked down.
In this performance, he won a lot of curling star flowers. Meili counted roughly thirty or forty flowers. Compared with the beautiful war dancer before, he was not far behind. It was a good result.
The female companion suddenly became happy.
"Meili, do you want to go up and try too?"
"I won't let it go..."
Merry touched his hair subconsciously, then took his hand back and said embarrassedly.
However, the female companion persisted and encouraged: "Go up and try it. Even if you don't try it today, you will still be voting during the lectures later. You will have to experience it sooner or later."
