Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

Three days passed in a flash. Although the weaving of the ‘Sunlight Cloth’ was extremely difficult, Tilan managed to learn it. Even Aunt Elina said that this was the most talented student she had ever seen.

She really took advantage of her talent, Tilan thought, because she could see more details and perceive more subtle magic flow and changes than others, so it would be easier for her to understand, which made it easy for her to master and learn certain secrets several times faster than others.

Promising to visit again after the celebration, Tilan and Dolores came to the venue of the celebration. This is the Hecui Forest with the largest area on the planet. As one of the earliest star regions to be developed in the southern star region, the trees here are also very tall. After continuous improvement and cultivation by the elves, giant trees with a diameter of hundreds of meters are common here.

"Please enter the venue through this channel and accept identity inspection." Led by the staff of the organizer, Tilan and Dolores entered the venue, but today she made a slight change of clothes.

So, a girl with delicate silver hair appeared, and even her eyes turned into a mysterious dark gray.

"This is my qualification certificate." Tilan took out a chip card and inserted it into the card slot designated by the staff beside her. Soon, the data popped up.

"Angelia, human·adapter, natural sequence 6, special entry..."

"Special entry." The staff looked at the data suspiciously, and then contacted the superior with the communicator before letting her go.

"It seems that special entry is rare." Dolores entered with Tilan.

"It should be someone who doesn't need to participate in the preliminary screening. I remember that some major competitions will specially invite some famous players, or simply give certain factions a certain number of preliminary exemptions." Tilan recalled.

"Okay, let's go in." When Tilan was about to enter the crowded venue, Dolores stopped her.

"Wait a minute, I'll help you check if there's anything wrong." Dolores carefully helped Tilan tidy up her collar and hair, combed the wrinkles, and then curiously touched Tilan's exceptionally straight silver hair. Unlike the shiny metallic silver, this silver color is more like a delicate rock gray, but it's not so dull, giving people a just right soft and straight feeling.

'I always feel that this hair color is more in line with your current temperament. ' Dolores thought about it and commented.

"It's not that black is bad, but black hairstyles are either girlish or particularly solemn and old. There is rarely such a light fantasy feeling. Maybe black hair is the most common color in reality."

"Come on, Heshia~"

"Yeah." The girl nodded.

Afterwards, the two walked into the venue together. This was a clearing in the forest surrounded by eight giant trees. On the wide branches of the giant trees were rows of audience seats. Each giant tree could accommodate tens of thousands of people, overlooking the competition scene below.

At this time, there were many bird-like flapping-wing aircraft above the clearing. They flapped their wings and wandered in the forest. The cameras they carried with them recorded the information of the venue from all angles, and there was a special central AI control to project the wonderful and interesting pictures above the clearing. If the audience was not interested in these, they could also use the local area network connected to directly call various positions and perspectives to choose their favorite players to watch.

Now the competition has not yet started and is still in the preparation stage. Like other players, Tilan first came to the material pick-up point to pick up the "Liuyun Silk" and blending raw materials required for this competition.

"Each contestant can take up to 2 kilograms of 'Liuyun Silk', which is also one of the rewards for contestants." In the outside world, one kilogram of Liuyun Silk is about 10,000 to 20,000 federal coins. It is a dark silver-level extraordinary material. If it is made into Xiaguang cloth, the quality is often around the Brilliant Gold level. If it is carefully woven by some masters, it may reach the quality of the Condensed Pearl level, and the price has directly increased by nearly a hundred times.

"So, learning a craft is really profitable." The girl sighed.

"Hehe, Heshia is really obsessed with these." Dolores smiled softly with her mouth covered.

It seems that since they met, Tilan has been envious and surprised by those businesses and products that can easily earn hundreds of times the profit.

"In fact, in business, it is common for gross profit to be ten times higher than the cost, but it is not so simple to operate it in practice." She thought about it and explained her experience to Tilan.

"For example, the most common catering, the exquisite food on the menu priced at 200 yuan, the cost of its ingredients may be only 30 yuan. What is important is the chef's craftsmanship and the laborious process that is saved. The same is true for luxury goods. The cost and selling price of many luxury brands are hundreds of times higher, but their individual market is not very large, and they have to invest a lot of costs in maintaining the brand tone and appeal."

When the two talked about the business operation methods, the competition was about to begin.

First, there was the opening speech of the organizer, followed by the special guest, "Elegy of Thorns" Inoer, who sang a classical elf song to announce the beginning of this celebration.

With the fireworks rising and the melodious bagpipes playing together, many flapping-wing birds flew up in the forest, hovered in the sky, and formed a gorgeous array from time to time, and finally swooped down and passed through the audience seats between the giant trees, attracting countless audiences to cheer and scream. Finally, the host of the first competition came on stage and announced the start.

Sitting in the pre-assigned octagonal wooden workbench, these wooden tables are like independent compartments, with various instruments for the competition inside. Participants will mix dyes and pre-treat the cloud silk here. After two hours, when the sun sets, these workbenches will rise with the contestants, facing the distant "fire and flowing clouds" and start weaving the clouds.

It is difficult to see any difference in the first stage, so the viewing value of this first item is not high. Many viewers just curiously follow the camera to pass by the busy contestants, and then talk to each other about their respective origins and guess the result of this competition.

"Miss Du Er from 'Qinglafang' is here this time too. I saw her participating in a fashion design competition in the Cuiyue Galaxy some time ago."

"That's Pushkin from 'Gray Iron Alchemy'. Hasn't he been studying classical alchemy? Why is he participating in this kind of competition?"

"Maybe he thinks that the key to weaving the Xiaguang cloth is the combination of special dyes and the retention of magic. He happens to be an expert in related fields."

"I see, the person who has the most hope of winning this time is Morris, who has advanced to the natural sequence 7 at the age of 39, and is a young master of the 'Moon Owl Woodland' faction." Someone pointed at the man with dark blue short hair on the projection screen. His hair was all combed to one side and he was wearing an unorthodox style plaid short-sleeved shirt. Some people would believe that he was a niche artist.

"Morris is not only extremely talented, but also has a quarter of elf blood. His grandmother was one of the most famous weavers of the 'Sunlight Cloth' in the Moonthorn Star Region 40 years ago. It is said that she was a student of Master Elina."

The audience talked a lot, discussing the situation of each contestant. Some of them also looked at Tilan's group, probably because the two beautiful girls were very beautiful.

In the workbench, Tilan was selecting the appropriate parts of the 'red grass stems' and 'orange flame chrysanthemum petals' used as dyes, and then crushed them one by one to extract the juice, and then filtered it. Dolores could also assist at this stage.

After that, the extracted juice was left to stand, and then other raw materials were mixed with air to ensure the color of the dye was fixed and the properties were stable.

After standing for almost a while, carefully take out the clear part of the upper layer of the juice, add the raw materials just prepared, pour in and mix, and then the liquid in the basin becomes viscous and no longer so transparent.

Stir constantly and heat slightly to speed up the reaction, but the fire temperature should not be too high.

After that, it was also left to stand for a while, and then it would be the second stage.

Looking at the delicate and rich orange and red in the basin, Tilan was slightly satisfied, and then thought about it, and decided to use her talent to purify the liquid in the basin again, so that the impurities were continuously separated and precipitated at the bottom. Although the difference between the dyes of other contestants on the surface was not much, the real purity and quality inside had completely reached a new level.

While sitting by the stage waiting, the girl thought again that if she did not have the talent of a singer, she would probably go far towards the career of pharmacist and treatment in the future with only crystal purification and the talent of healing.

Maybe such a life would be quite comfortable and simple, without having to go through so many complicated things like now.

Just as Tilan's fantasy continued to extend, the time for the second stage was up.

With a slight prompt sound, the workbench where each contestant was located slowly rose and gradually came to the sky above the forest, where you can look at the sunset in the distance without any obstacles, and at this moment the sky is full of fiery red flowing colors, it is the best time to weave the sunset cloth.

It started, the girl thought, and then took out the long-soaked cloud silk, first shook it slightly to filter out the excess water droplets on it, then hung it up, and then introduced it into two different dye basins, one deep red and the other orange-gold flame.

Then the cloud silk that had been immersed in the dye was pulled out and reflected in the sunset glow. The special dye on it came into contact with the sunset glow and began to produce a special brilliance and gradually reacted.

It cannot be woven before there is no reaction, nor can it be woven after the complete reaction. In this process, tiny branding textures must be continuously constructed, and the two colors of cloud silk must be interwoven and woven to form a new special texture. At this time, the magic reaction will be mutually fused and solidified under the guidance of the texture. The two colors of silk threads are woven together and glittering, like the undulating waves on the sea, which is particularly beautiful.

This is the most critical moment of the entire competition. Every contestant began to treat it with full concentration, and Tilan was the same at this moment. She sat in front of the spinning machine, like the goddess of fate in classical mythology, her eyes carefully looking at every detail in front of her, while manipulating with both hands, constantly guiding the magic in the silk thread to make it uniform and interconnected, and waves of complex and luminous silk light also appeared on the woven fabric.

During the whole process, she almost forgot the time. When a piece of cloth was completely woven and there was no silk thread in her hand, she woke up.

How long has it been? The girl came back to her senses from her immersion and looked into the distance in a trance. At this moment, the sunset had completely fallen and the sky was almost dark. In her arms was a piece of orange-red cloth like clouds on the horizon, as if the weaving process of this cloth was to intercept the sunset on the horizon.

Is it finished? She was a little at a loss, as if the one who was fully devoted to spinning just now was not herself.

Seeing that Tilan had finished spinning, Dolores, who had been standing by her side, holding her breath so as not to disturb her, finally spoke and walked closer.

"It's done, Heshia." Her voice was full of encouragement and praise, and then she carefully stroked the natural glow cloth in the girl's arms.

"It's so beautiful, even I am a little moved." As the eldest daughter of a luxury brand company, she has seen many masters' works, but it is the first time that she has seen a piece of cloth that makes people excited even before it is cut.

"What kind of clothes do you want to cut and sew?"

"You can design it, and I will be responsible for cutting and sewing." The girl blinked.

It is rare to have a moment to rely on Dolores, and Heshia will not miss this opportunity. Although the two are good friends, the girl also knows that if one party always wins over the other and gives help without asking for anything in return, then such a relationship will eventually become unbalanced and difficult to maintain.

"Since Heshia trusts me so much, I have to work hard." Dolores did not say anything polite about this. After all, time is precious now, and it is not the time to make excuses.

So she quickly sat aside and sketched the pattern. She had been preparing for this in the past few days before the competition. She thought that if Tilan didn't have a good design plan, she would provide the ones she prepared. But now it seems that Tilan has already decided to use her design.

The material of the Xiaguang cloth itself is excellent. If it is matched with other ordinary cloth, it will be out of place. Therefore, when designing, it is best to use a solid color clothing. However, solid color clothes are often the most challenging. If there are few inharmonious places, it is easy to stand out.

The night slowly fell, and soft lights lit up on various workbenches. There were also many flapping-wing aircraft with blue and white lanterns in their mouths in the forest, which made the night not only not fall into darkness, but also had a bit of fantasy fairy tale beauty.

Although the contestants all have certain strengths, only 70% of the members who really wove the Xiaguang cloth that can be used in the previous stage, and many people wasted most of the materials, leaving only semi-finished products or defective products.

After entering the cutting stage, the remaining members were also divided into several groups. Some matched other colors of fabrics to simplify the design difficulty, while others, like Tilan, tried to use uniform fabrics to complete the work.

About half an hour later, Dolores finished drawing the preliminary pattern, and Tilan began to cut according to the above drawing. This was not too easy for her who mastered exquisite swordsmanship. After just a few drawings, the fabric in her hand was split under the special blade. Among the other contestants, some had to spend extra effort to cut these tough Xiaguang cloth silks because of inconsideration. After all, it was an extraordinary material. Only the flowing cloud silk could block many swords and stabs.

In the rustling sound of cutting, Tilan spliced ​​the cut fabrics according to the drawings, and then picked up to sew. It is worth mentioning that she did not use any needles and threads, but directly spliced ​​them together, and after splicing, the silk threads and textures were connected, and there was no extra trace. This amazing skill immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"What kind of skill is that to achieve this level?"

"Is this the 'perfect fit' in Eastern mythology?"

"What's her name? Which supernatural faction's secret is this?"

People kept asking, and the image of the girl sewing the skirt was projected over the entire venue.

Seeing this gorgeous dress gradually taking shape, and then it floated lightly, Tilan's eyes closed slightly, and then she pulled with one hand, and the remaining cloud silk beside her flew up, one by one into the air, and then pierced into the fabric texture of the dress like a dragon and a phoenix, constantly shuttling back and forth, gradually forming a gorgeous pattern texture.

"This!" Now not only the audience, but also many other contestants who were busy participating in the competition were surprised and shocked by this scene, and looked at this side intently.

The special thing about the Xiaguang cloth is its texture, so even if it is cut, no one would think of embroidering on it, because this would destroy the original structure and dissipate the special branding texture it constructed, which can be said to be a waste of natural resources.

But the scene seen today simply broke the inherent impression. Although the gorgeous white texture was taking shape step by step, it did not destroy the original effect of the rosy glow cloth. It seemed that every silk thread was carefully calculated when it penetrated, avoiding tearing the originally connected silk threads, and only passing through the tiny gaps and holes.

Even some masters cannot master such skills, but it appeared in the competition today. Many people saw this scene and felt that they had no hope of winning, so they simply stopped and watched and appreciated it carefully.

Finally, after a few minutes, the texture on the dress gradually became clear, and everyone could see its whole.

The orange-red long skirt was embroidered with a white phoenix, its gorgeous tail feathers wrapped around the side of the skirt, spread its wings on the back, and the head and neck were around the front again, the phoenix head and neck stayed on the side of the chest, and the long tail feathers on the opposite side were reflected.

[Flowing Clouds Around Phoenix Skirt] (Legendary Colorful Crystal Grade): Dyed with flowing cloud silk, ‘Crimson Grass Stems’ and ‘Orange Flame Chrysanthemum Petals’, it is then woven into fabric by being infused with the magic of Sunset Fire Clouds. It is then cut with flawless craftsmanship and embroidered with the secret method of the Five Phoenixes. It comes with four enchantment effects: [Flowing Clouds to Prevent Fire Lv.6], [Light Body Lv.5], [Toughness of Gold Thread Lv.5], and [Phoenix Attracting Air Lv.5].

Among them, the [Light Body] effect comes from the Flowing Cloud Silk itself, [Flowing Cloud Fire Repellent] and [Golden Silk Toughness] come from the Cloud Light Cloth, and [Phoenix Inducing Qi] comes from the last Phoenix Embroidery. Generally speaking, if the dress has [Flowing Cloud Fire Repellent Lv.4] and [Golden Silk Toughness Lv.3], it is qualified. Such clothes can be said to be the upper-middle quality of the Brilliant Gold Grade.

If the lightness of the ‘Flowing Cloud Silk’ can be retained, it will be a stable Condensed Pearl Grade Transcendent Creation. However, only some Grandmaster-level figures can achieve such a perfect fusion of various characteristics, and fully manifest them. After all, the raw materials are only Dark Silver Grade, and being able to cross the gap to reach the Color Crystal Grade is already the limit.

Amidst many exclamations and cheers, the brilliance of this dress overwhelmed all other works present and became the champion of the first item of this competition. It was also from this night that the temporary name ‘Angelia’ spread throughout the star field.
