Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 570 Leisure and Tranquility

The sea breeze blows, and standing by the railing you can hear the constant sound of waves hitting the bottom of the ship, and the fresh water vapor is slightly moist.

"Set out to sea from here, then make a circle on the sea, and then go upstream from the estuary, and you will see the largest city on the planet." The tour guide girl next to her introduced the itinerary to Tilan. She didn't know the identity of the girl next to her, but she felt that she should be from a wealthy family. After all, the ticket price for this luxury cruise ship is not cheap.

"My name is Suna, and I'm the tour guide on the cruise ship. Nice to meet you." In the morning, not long after Tilan got on the ship, she met this girl who was about her age.

After leaving the port, the cruise ship headed towards the sea. Along the way, there were constant winds and waves. The scenery on the sea was extremely vast and magnificent, giving people who have lived in the city for a long time the illusion of breaking free from their constraints.

“Even though I don’t have wings, I still have the desire to fly.”

At night, an open-air party was held on the cruise ship deck, during which there were many performances and dancing sessions.

Sitting at a small round table at the edge of the dance floor, Tilan drank cool and delicious fruit wine, occasionally looking at the vast starry sky above her head. Not far away in the dance floor, there were many young people dancing in pairs, their style was simple and light.

"Aren't you going to dance?" Suna came over with a few bottles of purified water, put them on the table, and asked with a little curiosity.

In her opinion, a pretty girl like Tilan must have many suitors. She couldn't even remember how many people came up to her and chatted with her that day.

"Well, it's good to take a look." Tilan tilted her head slightly and answered easily.

If it were in the past, she would probably explain the reason involuntarily, but now she doesn't care about it so much. Everyone has their own hobbies and choices, and there is no need to deliberately follow the crowd.

"This is the purified water you ordered. I took a few extra bottles in case you might need it later." Suna explained, then found a seat to sit down.

"How old is Suna today?" Tilan was a little curious.

"I think I'm going to be 23 this year." Suna recalled.

"It's been three years since I graduated, and I've basically spent the whole time on a cruise ship."

"How is your job going?"

"In general, it's not difficult. The process and scenery along the way are introduced many times, and you will naturally become familiar with it."

"Actually, we're quite lucky, because it's a luxury cruise ship. The food and accommodation conditions are great, and we can even have a good meal occasionally." Suna said with a little joy.

After that, Tilan chatted a lot with Suna, about her previous school days and her current work situation.

"My hometown is a small town in the mountains. Although it's not prosperous, I like it there very much. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and I know every neighbor." Suna is quite cheerful and talkative, talking about interesting things from her childhood.

"I was the leader among the kids at that time, and everyone played with me."

……

"Now, when I go out to work, I can't be as crazy as I was in the past."

……

"My younger brother is still in high school, but his academic performance is average, he likes to play a lot, and sometimes I am worried."

……

"I don't know how long I can do this job. When I can't work on the cruise ship anymore, I'm going to go back home. I've decided to open a small shop to support myself. Anyway, I've saved a lot in the past few years. If I spend frugally in the future, I can have fun for a long time."

"Ahahaha, actually I'm quite playful. I haven't thought too much about the future because I know I'm not a very smart person. Instead of daydreaming about random things every day, I might as well have fun happily. Anyway, there are people who take care of national affairs, so it's not my turn."

……

"Speaking of which, children who grew up in the city are different from us. They face much more intense competition since childhood and have heavy expectations. How should I put it? I guess they are afraid of not being as good as others. When I first started working, my supervisor praised me for my good attitude. It was also at that time that I realized that not everyone of my age can be as open-minded as I am."

……

"Is there anything fun in Chaoge District? I think the ancient buildings there are quite magnificent, and the local schools are also very good. As for the scenery, everyone has different opinions. People from other star regions will find it very fresh and impressive, but tourists from this planet will easily find it boring because they don't have that completely different sense of impact."

……

"As for making money, Chaoge District is pretty good. Many of my classmates work there. Of course, they don't have impressive jobs, but they are just ordinary people. Some are chefs, some help people manage garden plants, and some work in stores. Every time I get together, I can hear them talk about all kinds of interesting things. I like this very much, so I go to every gathering."

……

"About getting married and starting a family? I haven't thought about that yet. I'll just work and see and have fun. It's rare for me to be free from the constraints of school, and I don't want to jump into marriage so early."

……

"Ah, they're starting to set off fireworks, look."

Not far away at the stern of the ship, shining fireworks rose slowly and then exploded in the sky. The dazzling and gorgeous fireworks streaked across the night sky.

"Bang, bang." Short sounds of fireworks were heard, and several colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky.

The people on the cruise ship stopped dancing and talking. Many of them looked up at the fiery red fireworks blooming in the sky. Then several more fireworks rose up, blooming in various colors. Some were shaped like necklaces, some were scattered like stars, and some exploded in the air for a second time, and the sky was full of golden fireworks.

That's great.

Tilan also looked up at the night sky. Under the beautiful moonlight, the remaining smoke in the air left a faint trace, vaguely emerging in the moonlight. The sea was shrouded in the cold twilight, beautiful and distant. Only when the fireworks rose into the sky and exploded, the sea seemed a lot more lively.

In the next few days, Tilan followed the cruise ship into the inland river, and then went upstream all the way to the capital of the planet, Chaoge District.

The architectural style here is very similar to that of Jielou City, but it is taller and more prosperous, especially when it is foggy in the early morning. The tall buildings are like small islands in the sea of ​​clouds, which is quite spectacular. It is not until the sun comes out and the fog dissipates that the prosperous city scene slowly dilutes the ethereal charm of the fairyland.

Thousands of sails are like buildings, and buildings are like thousands of sails. Tilan had never seen such a scene before, but she did see it this time.

No wonder the old people in Jielou City were reluctant to leave. Perhaps many people could not forget the good old days. During the trip to Chaoge District, Feng Jianxue also took Tilan to the local university, pretending to be students from other nearby schools, and fought with the members of the school's clubs.

On the battlefield, the girl in the apricot-yellow dress danced like a dragon, and the straight steel swords cut out tiny golden sparks during the fight. Then the two of them leaped into the air again, and as they walked, it was as if they were stepping and turning in the air.

After another encounter, Tilan turned around, held the sword horizontally in front of her body, and slowly stroked the blade with two fingers of her left hand. Then faint golden patterns appeared on the sword's spine.

In the setting sun, the bright blue eyes behind the golden sword blade shone brightly. Then Tilan leaped into the air again, like a phoenix turning over. Several brilliant sword arcs passed through the air, and finally she landed lightly and stood still.

"The winner is Miss Qingluan!" the referee announced loudly, attracting cheers from the many students watching.

"So strong, whether it's strength, reaction, or skills, they are all perfect."

"I've never heard of this person before. Is she really a student from the neighboring school?"

Everyone was talking about it, and after putting away her sword, Tilan looked for an opportunity to walk out of the crowd, then quickly boarded the waiting hovercraft and left the scene.

"Hahaha, how about it? It's really interesting, right?" The person driving the car in front was Feng Jianxue. It was also his idea to let Tilan go to represent other schools in the competition.

Tilan, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, did not answer immediately. She first put away the sword and the sheath, then tidied up her slightly messy long hair, and then talked about the competition just now.

"Very impressive. Even though I won, I can also see that the opponent is truly a genius and has put a lot of effort into his training." Tilan commented on the last contestant.

"Of course, they are all good talents. During this period, I served as their instructor for a period of time and gave them guidance."

"No wonder some of them are so difficult and cunning, it turns out you taught them." Tilan remembered that during the game, she encountered several opponents who deliberately exposed their flaws and used them to gain an advantage.

"Haha, the purpose of fighting is to win. Preparing a few more routines can really save lives at critical moments." Feng Jianxue explained proudly.

Tilan spent the next few days in Chaoge District, where she saw a lot of traditional oriental culture, including various musical instruments, costumes, works of art, and even the skills of the extraordinary factions. Later, under the guidance of Feng Jianxue, she also visited several larger extraordinary factions.

"The Honghu lineage is widely spread in the Bai Ze star field. The ancestor of many factions is Honghu, one of the Five Phoenixes, so I also have a wide network of contacts here." No wonder Feng Jianxue did not stay in the central star field, but developed here.

"Next month, there will be a grand sacrificial ceremony in Chaoge District. Would Tilan like to participate?"

"What kind of celebration is this?"

"The content is very similar to what you saw in Jielou City that year, but we don't have a divine general here. Instead, we have the 'White Swan Dance'. During the celebration, a team wearing floating dresses that can flutter in the air will parade around the city. Of course, there will also be a sacrificial sword dance."

"Wait, you don't want me to be the main priestess." These days, Tilan knew very well the character of the guy in front of her. As soon as Feng Jianxue opened her mouth, she knew what he was planning.

"Oh, little Tilan is so smart. She understood my idea at once. To be honest, when I saw the video of Senior Gu Yongrong dancing with swords at the festival, I was simply astonished. Later, I found out that Tilan was even better than her, and I couldn't help but want to see what Tilan would look like dancing with swords with long sleeves." Feng Jianxue held an old film and television album and spoke to Tilan with an excited expression.

"Just this once, Tilan must agree to me." As he said this, he clasped his hands together, looking extremely sincere.

In response, Tilan shook her head slightly.

She couldn't say that she hated or rejected the idea of ​​dressing up as a dragon priestess at the festival, performing sacrifices and dancing with swords. After all, the image of her mother dancing with swords had left a deep shock on Tilan. It was just that she didn't like to agree to such things so rashly.

"Let me think about it first." It is always better to understand what kind of festival it is, or whether there are other hidden stories before replying.

"No problem, there is still a month." Feng Jianxue felt relieved when she saw that Tilan did not directly refuse. Then she praised Tilan again, saying that she was rare in heaven and even rare on earth. The girl just shook her head and did not listen at all.

This guy has never been serious, and I don’t know why the personalities of the two siblings are so different.

Although Odni also likes to play, she is still a dignified person. She even pays more attention to etiquette details than Orlais. But Odni's brother Feng Jianxue is different. From the first day Tilan met him, she felt that this guy was quite unreliable and could always cause you some hilarious accidents.

In the following half month, Tilan went to many places and saw the environment of other areas except Chaoge District. Generally speaking, the economic level of Bai Ze Star Region is in the upper-middle level of the Federation. The public security here is excellent, the cultural environment is mild, and there are no fierce conflicts and contradictions. It is very different from other star regions she knows.

One day, Tilan was walking in a small town, ready to experience the living environment of the local people.

There is not much traffic here, and most local residents prefer to take public transportation. The quaint buses are like horse-drawn carriages that have been magnified many times. They are made of wood and have a comfortable and breathable environment inside. Although they sway slightly while suspended in the air, they quickly stabilize as they move forward.

"We have arrived at Xuanyue Tower. Please get off the bus in an orderly manner." An announcement came from the floating bus. Tilan walked to the door, jumped off easily, and stepped on the stone slabs on the street.

There is a seven-story pavilion on the river bank not far away. It is retro and beautiful in style. Tilan followed the crowd and walked there, occasionally looking at the various flowers planted on the roadside that she had never seen before. Although these flowers are of the same variety, they have been carefully blended by gardeners to have different colors. Some are pure colors, and some are gradients, which is quite interesting.

Just as Tilan was relaxing and enjoying the moment of sightseeing, a passing tourist walked past her carrying a large bag, and the bag scratched the girl's wrist and then continued forward.

Although it seemed like a very normal scene to outsiders, the girl who had originally bent over to smell the fragrance of the flowers stopped.

This is... She felt something extra in the palm of her hand, and this technique was very familiar to her, as if she had been taught about it by the military intelligence officer when she visited a military base in the central star field a long time ago.

Is it trying to convey some message? Tilan tightened the chip in her hand slightly, put it away calmly, and prepared to take a closer look after returning.

They must be military personnel. Only they can avoid the eyes of the Inquisition and deliver the information to their own hands without being noticed.

Ever since winning the singing competition, Arnansha has shown kindness to Tilan intentionally or unintentionally, and some military academy students have joined the star cluster. Tilan has always turned a blind eye to this. She doesn't want to offend these people in the military for no reason, but she also doesn't want to take sides blindly.

I don’t know what they wanted to tell me this time. They found me while I was traveling so forcefully and abruptly, and passed information to me in such an informal way. This was very inconsistent with Tilan’s impression of the military’s always steady style.

I hope it's just a matter of winning me over. Otherwise, if other explosive intelligence makes the usually calm military so anxious, the federation may not be peaceful for long.

The girl stood up and looked at the Xuanyue Tower in the distance which she had not yet climbed, feeling a little regretful.

I wanted to walk around and see more.

But, the storm is coming.
