Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

Three days later, after selling his coats and doing some small business, Guy was ready to return and came to say goodbye to Tilan.

"Leave these two ponies with Heshia." Guy led the two ponies he had exchanged in the Lake Wind settlement to the shed next to the cabin.

He purchased a lot of supplies before leaving, and it was not enough to use these two underage horses to pull the cart, so he exchanged for two larger pack horses.

"Heshia should be able to use them when she goes out in the future." Guy told Heshia.

"I know." Heshia nodded, accepted the two ponies that were still a little confused, and then talked to Guy for a while.

"I'm afraid we won't have time to explore the ruins until next year after winter. Now the weather is getting colder, and the settlement is short of manpower, and there are many things to do."

Guy then told Heshia that if he sets out to explore the ruins next year, he will come to the mountain fort to find Heshia to go with him. After all, the strength of this girl is obvious to all.

"Then goodbye, Heshia, Orles." Guy then got on the carriage, waved to the two, and then drove out of the city.

The girl prayed in her heart that the moose boss, Sula Guy and others could spend this winter safely.

Back to her and Orles's hut, she and Orles took buckets and brooms to clean it all over in the past three days. The whole place was much cleaner. Although there were a lot of grindings on the slate tiles on the ground, there were no stains now. You can feel the coolness and roundness of the tiles when you step on them barefoot.

The first floor is the living room and kitchen, and there is a utility room on the side. The second floor is the bedroom for the two, and there is also a place for Tilan to work and read.

After drawing a bucket of water from the well behind the hut, Tilan poured it into the stone trough in front of the two ponies, and touched the two little guys again. They settled down now and licked the girl's wrist with their tongues.

After interacting with the two little guys for a while, the girl returned to the second floor. At this time, Orles was sitting on the bed, flipping through the picture album that Tilan borrowed yesterday. This was a collection of Sigmund scholars. It was said that it was made by a painter a hundred years ago. He used a brush to depict many famous scenic spots and places in the area around the Stone Forest Castle.

"Is it beautiful?" The girl saw that Orles was looking at it attentively.

"It's beautiful, Tilan." The ice elf girl answered happily. She was interested in some gorgeous colors and new things, just like a child.

She touched Orles and continued to help her comb and check the extraordinary core in her body. Similar to Heshia, Orles' extraordinary core suffered a lot of damage in the forced promotion ceremony. After coming to this world, Heshia has never dared to teach Orles too complicated things to prevent any accidents.

In the past month, under her daily attention and care, the extraordinary core in Orles' body has gradually recovered. She returned to the perfect state of Sequence 6 one step earlier than Tilan, and even vaguely has the intention of stepping into Sequence 7.

In terms of talent, Orles is a genius, but not better than Heshia. Although the crown ceremony failed, it also had a small side effect, which was to speed up Orles' progress in the sequence, making her close to the threshold of sequence 7 before she was 30 years old.

Unfortunately, she has lost all her memory now, and the complex theoretical knowledge and mental will required to advance to sequence 7 must be relearned and cultivated.

Releasing her fingers, Heshia was thoughtful.

In the future, it seems that she will have to take care of being Orles's enlightenment teacher. I don't know if the ice elf training secrets she has mastered are behind the times compared to those mastered by Orles' original family.

Putting these aside for the time being, Tilan returned to the table, opened the book she borrowed from Sigmund yesterday, and began to read it carefully. This was also the first time she systematically learned the origin of this world from written records.

From the records of Shilinshan Fortress, although Heshia did not see the whole picture of the entire history, from the description of many details, this planet should have changed hands several times. It was a place where several dark suns fought back and forth at that time, and all parties invested their strength to fight for it.

However, this chaotic situation suddenly ended one day. According to the description in the records, the entire sky was dark for several months. When it was restored to light again, the satellites and spacecraft in the outer orbit of the planet disappeared.

Although there are still many new races on the earth, and they also have the most advanced technology at the time, this planet does not have a complete industrial chain for building superluminal starships.

Then there was a very chaotic war period. Although the old humans collectively called them new races, there were huge differences between these new races, and they were incompatible with each other.

The battle lasted for about 200 years, and there was no final winner. The reason why the war ended was that the new races were surrounded by various problems and could no longer continue to maintain high-intensity war consumption.

After that, there was a long process of decline. The environment of the entire planet gradually deteriorated, many technological heritages were cut off, and war machines slowly eroded various strongholds on the earth, forcing the surviving new races to migrate frequently. Such migration caused a lot of technical data to be lost, and finally gradually formed the current situation.

I didn't expect the current situation to be like this. Tilan closed the book and leaned back in his chair to think.

According to the records in the book, it is speculated that in the early days, the new races were powerful. Even without superluminal spacecraft, they still had the ability to build space stations and aerospace aircraft carriers. The war at that time was almost an overwhelming bombing, supersonic fighters competing in the sky, and heavily armored mechas galloping on the ground.

As the war continued to destroy, the industrial strength and technological level of all parties were also declining rapidly. First, the war and the harsh environment caused a talent gap. Then, after the death of the previous generation of technicians, the new generation of personnel could not understand the overly complex technical information and could not restore the past technological achievements. Later, they had to abandon the damaged giant factories and move towards miniaturization and simplification.

If it were just like this, the new races that realized the crisis might have reached a delicate balance and recuperated, but the awakened war machines destroyed the plans of the new races to recuperate, and many strongholds on the earth were destroyed. These legacy machines of the old humans were originally made to fight against the dark suns that dominated the galaxy. In the prototypes of all the machines, an unchangeable physical code was entered to eliminate every genetically tampered race that was seen.

In addition, according to the records of the Gray Feathers, before this planet was isolated and abandoned, the Dark Sun·Rou, who was surrounded by the ρ Mechanical Council, was strangled by four Dark Suns, namely Dark Sun·Hefashimo, Dark Sun·Xiefflin, Dark Sun·Tricalans, and Dark Sun·Emeronqin.

According to the records of the cult, these four Dark Suns had a close relationship in their early years, and their respective followers were also quite similar, namely "Light Cicada Species", "Silver Wing Species", "Butterfly Eye Species", and "Thunder Wing Species". Because their followers have wings, they are also called "Four Kinds of Sky Wings".

It is said that in the end, Dark Sun·Rou was burned through hundreds of millions of mechanical units surrounding the planet by Dark Sun·Emeronqin and his followers, and then went deep into the earth's core to pull out and tear apart the thinking core of Dark Sun·Rou, causing the Dark Sun held by this old human to perish.

However, after the demise of the Dark Sun Rouyun, the four Dark Suns also had a serious internal struggle. The Dark Sun Cuikarans led his followers to go far away. The Dark Sun Xiefulian was first injured in a fight with the Dark Sun Amorunqin, and then was controlled by the Dark Sun Hefaximo, gradually dimming, and then extinguished. Many of his Silver Wings were also absorbed by Hefaximo and became his power.

Combining the historical records she obtained from various parties, Heshia slowly pieced together the outline of past history in her mind.

When she came to her senses again and turned to look out the window, it was already dark.

Heshia stood up and walked to the bedroom next to her, and found that Ores was sleeping soundly on the bed, and the picture album she had opened before was spread beside her. One page described a high cliff with white flowers blooming.

‘Beiti Cliff’, Heshia silently recited the words on the corner of the album, then put the album away and put it back on the table, then came to Orles and gently woke her up.

“Orles, wake up.” She touched her face, brushed her fingers across Orles’ slightly pointed ears, and scratched them with interest.

“Woo, itchy.” Orles sat up and covered her ears with both hands, indicating that she couldn’t touch them like that.

“Okay, no more touching, let’s go eat.” Heshia smiled and said.

“Eat, I’m hungry.” Orles heard about eating, immediately put down her hands and took Tilan’s arm.

Then the two changed into hooded robes for going out and went to the tavern in the city for dinner.

This time they didn’t order black pork steak because it was more expensive. Tilan and Orles ordered toast and potatoes, which was almost enough.

She had to think about ways to make money. It was foreseeable that she would have many expenses in the future, such as borrowing books, buying firewood for the winter, bedding and warming supplies, making new clothes for Orles, and occasionally buying new and curious things.

In the following days, Heshia spent half of her time reading books and half of her time touring the city. Occasionally, she would be invited by Sigmund to visit and exchange experiences with him.

"It's rare to have such a learned person like Miss Heshia. If you rely on tailoring for a living, it would be too unfair to your status. I wonder if you are willing to be a teacher for my children and the children and nephews of my friends?" Sigmund proposed after learning that Heshia needed money.

"This... can be considered, but I'm more curious, why don't you teach yourself?" In her opinion, Sigmund is also a scholar with a good reputation in the local area, and he can be ranked even among the gray feather species.

"I've been studying the information issued by the Mountain Fortress Council recently. The task is quite heavy, so I can't spare much time to take care of them. In addition, even though I'm a scholar, I have to hire an extra teacher."

"Why is that?"

"Because the more knowledgeable people are, the easier it is to step into a blind spot. When you learn something, you will take it for granted and ignore it when teaching others."

"In addition, it is precisely because I am a scholar that I have a complete set of logic. Not only do I let my children learn from me in life, but I also learn from me in education. It is easy for him to fall into a narrow and closed thinking environment."

"I hope he can be exposed to more and different viewpoints, and I will listen to his ideas and make certain corrections according to the situation. In this way, while inheriting my knowledge, he can also have a new perspective and thinking. Only in this way can he surpass me in the future, instead of being stupider and more rigid from generation to generation." The other party told me.

"I always feel that you gray feathers are particularly keen on learning and inheriting knowledge." Heshia answered with a warm teacup in her arms.

"Hehe, that's right, that's right. In the past, some people also said that our concepts were greatly influenced by the 'Tracing Cloud' faction."

Son of the Star, ‘Cloud of Tracing’? Tilan touched the teacup and lamented the profound influence of the various factions in the Twilight Age. Even the new races accepted their ideas and thoughts.

The Mechanical Council, the Cloud of Tracing, the Tree of Life Sect, the Original Heart, the history and everything of the galaxy today are almost the result of the interweaving of the views and beliefs of these factions.

The fusion of the Mechanical Council and the Original Heart gave birth to the most glorious Transcendent Age. Then, under the diverse evolutionary concept of the Tree of Life Sect, various human subspecies and new races were created. Later, like the Mechanical Council, they integrated the throne of God concept of the Original Heart and created a series of black suns that were galloping and tyrannical. In the fifth era of despair and darkness, the spacecraft that finally arrived at the lost planet with the belief of the ‘Cloud of Tracing’ brought the ‘Flower of Golden Flame’ Isanissa.

"I understand. I will live in the mountain fortress for a while. If you think it's appropriate, I will serve as a tutor to teach the children."

"Then I'll leave it to Miss Heshia." Sigmund was also quite happy. After all, in such a barren land, there are not many people who can read, let alone those who are educated.

That afternoon, Sigmund sent servants to deliver four bags of flour and four bags of rice to Heshia's house, as well as a bag of potatoes and a bag of vegetables. These things are enough for the two to eat until the beginning of next spring, but they are only the first month's salary.

After thanking Sigmund, Heshia put these things away and put them in the cellar full of ice. As for where the ice came from, it was naturally made by Tilan herself. Orles also learned to make a few small ones in the middle.

With food for the winter, Heshia felt that life became leisurely. In the following month, she basically went to Sigmund's house every one or two days to teach the four children, including history, poetry and literature, music, arithmetic, and a small amount of economic content.

Several 13- and 14-year-old children liked this teacher very much. After all, compared with those rigid old men, this quiet and beautiful girl was indeed more charming, more intellectual and intelligent, and understood many of their young and naive ideas.

"Teacher Heshia, are you married?" One day, one of the children finally couldn't help asking.

"No, but I don't have any idea of ​​falling in love yet, so don't think about it." The girl smiled and interrupted the thoughts of several people. Then she continued to sit on the chair and explained the mathematical formulas and application skills on the blackboard to several people.

"If you learn the Pythagorean theorem well, you can easily estimate the height of many buildings, especially the common sun shadow method." She turned the pointer lightly with her fingers and knocked on the stone slab.

Time passed slowly. Because there was no suitable barber to take care of it after coming to this planet, Heshia's hair became thicker and thicker. Some of it was placed on the collar and chest, making her temperament change from the past girlish softness to a little more mature.

In this way, until the first snow of winter fell on the mountain fortress.
