Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

After getting ready, Tilan set off for the Ziluo Valley in the North District.

The train shuttled between the mountains. With the rhythmic sound of the train, the scenery outside the window flew past. Sometimes it was the valleys between the mountains, the green mountain forests covered with white snow, sometimes it was large blocks of bustling city buildings, and occasionally it was driving on the high mountains. On the mountain, it's like flying through the clouds.

The cold fog rolled in, and the air-conditioning blowing in from the window woke up the passengers in the car. They unconsciously raised their eyes and glanced outside, looking at the fog gradually forming on the glass and the world where snow accumulated.

"Arrived ahead - Ziluo Valley." The announcement in the train sounded. Tilan looked towards the front of the train, and soon a valley immersed in twilight appeared in front of her eyes.

The current time is around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but it gets dark early in winter. Coupled with the shadow of the mountain peaks, the valley is almost purple in the evening, and only the distant mountain tops are still shrouded in the golden afterglow.

After walking out of the station and stepping on the carved bluestone steps, Tilan stamped her feet, feeling a slight chill on the tip of her nose, and then walked along the main road towards the interior of the valley.

Arriving at the entrance of the valley, Mel was standing on the stage under the lamp waving to Tilan.

"Here~"

The girl waved in response and then walked over.

"Heshia is here~" Mel stepped forward and stretched out his hand, holding the girl's wrist and leading her inside.

Although the buildings in the valley have not changed, the atmosphere here is completely different from before. There are many lanterns hanging, giving it a festive feel.

"Actually, if Hesia had come two weeks earlier, there would have been a fair held in the valley. Some actors in period costumes would have performed and sold all kinds of fun and interesting things."

Along the way, Mel and Tilan talked about the festival, and unknowingly they came to the familiar gate of the manor. The tiger that was sleeping in the yard when they came last time was not seen today. There were some unfinished tigers in the grass. It's snowing, and there are a few peach blossoms blooming on the branches in the courtyard.

"I've told grandma, she should be in the house right now." Afterwards, Mel and Tilan walked into the yard and knocked on the door. Soon the old housekeeper opened the door.

Different from the scenery outside that was shrouded in twilight purple, the interior was obviously warmer and brighter. Mrs. Hathaway was sitting on the cloth sofa by the fireplace at the moment, and beside her feet lay the white tiger named "Calabash" .

"Hessia is here." The lady stood up with a smile to welcome her, which made the girl a little embarrassed. After all, this is an elder.

After a while of pleasantries and polite greetings, the three of them sat down and the butler poured hot tea.

"Drink some." Mrs. Hathaway picked up the tea cup and invited Heshia to drink tea.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Heshia's etiquette and posture were almost impeccable. Then she put down the teacup temporarily and looked at Mrs. Hathaway in front of her.

"Actually, I came here this time because I have something serious and I want to ask Madam for help."

"I have roughly guessed that you are definitely not looking for me this time to reminisce about old times. But it doesn't matter, Heshia, just tell me."

"It's like this. In fact, I am not only studying at Yuanting Academy, but also at Edes Academy." Now, there is no need to hide my identity anymore. This Mrs. Hathaway in front of me may have been there for a long time. She knows her situation, but since Heshia doesn't tell it herself, she definitely won't expose it.

After finishing speaking, Heshia gently pressed her shoulder and neck with one hand, and the hair color on her head immediately turned to black, and her eyes turned to a touching blue.

"Ah, is Hesia really Hesia? I always thought it was just the same name." Mel opened her mouth in surprise at this time. She really didn't recognize it before. Should she say she was stupid or too naive?

"Sorry, I kept it secret from Mel for so long." Hesia bowed her head slightly apologetically.

"Ah, that's okay. Heshia must be hiding her identity because she's afraid of trouble. I know that many big stars use their stage names instead of their real names just to avoid this." Mel waved her hand quickly, saying it was okay.

"I'm still very smart." After saying that, she patted her chest again.

"Then this time, Heshia is looking for grandma. It must be something big." After the girl introduced him, Mel seemed to have remembered something and stood up, preparing to avoid suspicion.

"Yes, yes, but it doesn't matter if Mel wants to hear it." This is hardly a secret. If the alliance is successful, it will definitely be known to the outside world. It is a move to expand fame and influence, so it will naturally need to be publicized on a large scale.

"Really, can I really listen?" Mel blinked, looked at Tilan and then at Mrs. Hathaway, as if asking for advice.

"You can listen, but Mel remembers to keep it a secret and not tell anyone else."

"Yeah, I will." Mel said with a determined look on her face, which probably made her swear on the spot that she would do it.

"Okay, you kid." Mrs. Hathaway showed a funny look, then called Mel to her side and asked her to sit down, and then the two continued their previous conversation.

"Hesia specifically mentioned Edes Academy. It must be related to it." Mrs. Hathaway said.

"That's right, everyone has heard about the past events of Eds Academy and St. Ingo's Academy. In fact, I came here this time because of the competition between Eds Academy and St. Ingo Academy..." After that, Tilan slowly talked about the current competition between the two academies and what she was worried about.

…

"In other words, Heshia hopes to get help from the universities in the North District One." Mrs. Hathaway quickly understood what she meant.

"That's right. Of course Edes Academy will also reciprocate and hope to form a long-term alliance." Dealing with the forces behind Saint Ingo is not a trivial matter. Naturally, the more allies the better.

"Repayments and other things, I believe Edes Academy can definitely afford it, but the situation among northern universities..." Mrs. Hathaway hesitated to speak, but finally said it frankly.

"The situations among universities in the north are different and complicated. It cannot be brought together by just a few words," she explained.

"I do know a lot of university directors and have close relationships with them, but people of our generation actually make a clear distinction between public and private affairs. We usually help with small things, and everyone is very easy-going and won't refuse, but this time Alliance has a lot to do with it, and it’s not something that can be decided simply.”

"Let's do this. I will write you a letter of recommendation and say hello to those old friends in advance. Then you can easily visit them with the letter of recommendation."

"I will send you the list of directors who are in charge of each academy. Just contact Heshia one by one. For my sake, they shouldn't be embarrassed or harsh on you. After all, you are still young and As an official 'singer' appointed by the federation, everyone will always treat you kindly, but as for whether you can convince everyone in the end, it still depends on you, Heshia."

Mrs. Hathaway helped Hesia clarify the reasons, and then asked the housekeeper to get paper and pen to write the letter by hand.

Although in this era, electronic drafts, certificates, and documents are very convenient, sometimes in order to show sincerity, you still need to write your signature in person with a pen.

While Hathaway was writing a letter of recommendation, she told Tilan about the conditions of several prestigious schools in the north.

"First of all, our Yuan Courtyard, as you may have heard from Mel, was formerly known as the Feng Yuan Courtyard and was also a branch of the former 'Wind Whale Courtyard'. I will not repeat this point any further."

"Among the northern universities, other more famous ones, such as the Three Phase Moon Academy, are famous for training witches. They were the second-ranked academy in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Region more than 500 years ago. They fought with St. Ingo, and geniuses emerged in an endless stream. , but with the decline of the extraordinary faction 'Witch Sect', those academies affiliated with 'Witch Sect' also declined, and Three Phase Moon Academy is one of them."

"Although Triphase Moon Academy may not even be ranked among the top ten in the Star Territory now, it has been brilliant before. If you want them to serve as a foil to support Edes Academy, I'm afraid they will find it difficult to accept it." Hai Mrs. Serway talked about the reasons why she found it difficult.

"There is also the 'Twelve Dan Academy'. The legacy of this academy is the 'Xuanxian Tianwu Building', one of the thirty-six sects in the East in the past. The clothing workshop under its name is also famous in the federation. "

"But back then, the headquarters of the 'Xuanxian Tianwu Tower' supported the conservatives, and it was also in the 'Moon Gate Star Territory'. Tilan should have guessed what happened next."

"The Gate of the Moon was destroyed by Her Highness Emuraline herself, and all the secrets and patents of the 'Xuanxian Tianwulou' faction were also distributed to other factions and giant corporations after the war. The entire faction was dismembered, and twelve individuals At that time, the academy was just a high school academy under the "Xuanxian Tianwulou" faction. It happened to be far away from the Gate of the Moon, in the distant Four-leaf Crystal Star Territory. This was the rear area and an important military industry star field. At that time, in order to maintain stability and appeasement , and no strict purge was carried out."

"So the 'Twelve Dan Academy' escaped, but later changed its name and kept a low profile. Moreover, after losing many inheritances and patents, its vitality was not as good as before."

"They may want to make a comeback, but they are also afraid of touching some taboos and dare not make a big splash, so it will be more difficult to invite them."

"As for the 'Resurge of the Sky Academy'..." Speaking of this, Mrs. Hathaway showed a smile on her lips.

"This has to bring up a character and trend. More than 500 years ago, there was a very famous extraordinary person named Erlong. He relied on a special way of practice to constantly temper himself, making his body extraordinarily strong. , and could even break through the atmosphere alone and travel in the starry sky, which caused a sensation at the time."

"Later, he stood out from the competition among various extraordinary factions of 'Emenas' and won the championship, becoming the most likely person to enter Sequence 9 at that time."

"Because of the worship of this powerful transcendent, a trend of tempering oneself and learning bare-handed martial arts started in various places. The 'Resurge Hakong Academy' was born at that time. It is said that the founder really paid tribute to that person. Erlong asked for advice."

"However, the deeds of this genius were short-lived. Although many people imitated his practice methods and even extraordinary job templates, no one has ever reached his level and strength."

"Later the trend faded, and few people chose to take this advanced route."

"Many of the factions and academies that followed them later disbanded, and the 'Resurge Pakku Academy' barely survived. It's not too strong, and has been hovering around 30 people in the star field."

"They probably really want to take advantage of the resources and reputation of Edes Academy, but they may not be able to meet your expectations."

"In addition, 'Razen's Eye Academy', which is famous for its dolls, also has a more complicated situation. Although most of the skills they teach are puppet making and puppet manipulation, the real core thing inside is A special secret method, which is to separate one's soul and attach it to a doll, in order to achieve some kind of immortality."

"This kind of secret method has many flaws. At that time, many tragedies were caused for the purpose of testing. For this reason, it was warned and punished by federal officials. Later, they rarely taught the core secret method."

After Mrs. Hathaway introduced several schools, she also finished writing the letter of recommendation in her hand, put away the pen, and put it aside.

"If other academies have declined due to various reasons, then the 'Shanzhen Qingzhu Academy' is an anomaly. It is a new faction that has emerged in the past 200 years."

"Before the civil war, Jade Skirt was a planet with a beautiful environment, so it also had a reputation in the Elvish language like 'Emerald Lotus Leaf Skirt'. At that time, the various fruits, flowers, and ingredients produced on the planet were very popular in the Federation. It’s popular, and it’s something on the high-end side.”

"This attracted many gourmets and chefs to Jade Skirt, and many of them were originally located in the North Star District of the capital."

"Then the civil war broke out, and the planet turned into a heavy industrial planet. A lot of environmental damage was caused, and many high-end food production areas disappeared. Then the North Star District was abolished. Many gourmets and chefs were also discouraged. They followed the official arrangements and joined the public. Let’s come together to settle in what is now North District 1.”

"Because there was no previous environment, the later chefs could only find new recipes and methods from the common and only high-quality ingredients. At this time, it was also because they shared the same disease, or it was rare to meet close friends who could talk to each other, these gourmets and chefs gradually Gather together.”

"At first it was just a party, but then they set up a club, specializing in cooking and making delicious food."

"The things I tinkered with were also welcomed by many people. Slowly, my reputation became more and more famous, and my funds became more and more abundant. On the contrary, I came out of the shadow of that time."

“Feeling the benefits of this kind of communication and studying together, they came up with the idea of ​​building a school. This is the origin of ‘Shanzhen Seizhu Academy’.”

"This school is probably the best to convince. They are very pure chefs and gourmets. Edes School should be able to help them get a lot of the high-end ingredients they crave, and they will readily agree to the joint suggestion. "

"Finally, there is the Five Colors and Seven Injuries Academy. This school comes from a very old but small extraordinary sect. Among the secret techniques they inherit, there is a kind of colorful smoke that allows people to see illusions and feel extremely realistic feelings. It’s like falling into a dream.”

"When you hear this, it's easy to think of the 'Phantom Crystal Mist' in the immersive movie cabin. Yes, this is a product derived from the secret method of this faction, but other than that, there is nothing eye-catching about this faction. , and it has been almost 800 years since this technology was developed. It has been quite perfect, and there is little room for improvement. Now, patent income has also decreased significantly with the passage of time.”

"Later, in order to develop a new practice model, they turned to poison. However, compared to the previous 'Phantom Crystal Mist', this path was very narrow and small, and it gradually became mediocre."

"The above are some of the more famous universities in the north. It can be said that each has different situations. If Tilan is going to visit, it is best to be mentally prepared." Mrs. Hathaway picked up the tea and took a sip. He also enveloped the recommendation and handed it to Tilan.

"No matter what, thank you madam." Tilan took the letter of recommendation and leaned over to thank her.

She had only heard of these names before, but today she learned that there was so much history and twists behind them. Although she did feel a lot of surprises after hearing them, she also had some expectations and curiosity, wanting to see these names with their own histories and experiences. What is the appearance and situation of the academy now?

Good night and sweet dreams~
