Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

At night, the caravan temporarily stayed in this settlement that had lost its owner. No matter what, sleeping in the house was much more comfortable than sleeping in the carriage.

Here, Tilan took a relatively comfortable hot bath. After the bath, she put on a more breathable and comfortable nightgown, sat by the fire pit in the hall, and looked through some books and records originally stored here. The records are very messy, but there are some interesting things.

The charcoal fire is dark red, and the not-so-bright light at the top of the hall is perfect for reading. Some of the caravan members will be playing ball and walking outside, some are preparing food in the kitchen, and some are counting the things stored here. Stuff and supplies.

While flipping through the loosely bound books in her hands with a little leisure, Tilan held a washed apple in one hand and nibbled on it. Occasionally she stopped to look at the ceiling and surrounding decorations in the hall, feeling dazed.

After a long time like this, Molly and another fox-tailed species walked out of the underground with Olenna after taking a bath.

At this moment, she had changed into a clean white cotton dress, with a simple belt tied around the waist to fit her body, and a backless V-shape on the back of the skirt to allow her to expose her wings.

Olenna was a little happy to see Tilan, and the moth wings on her back flapped. Unfortunately, the wings could only flap a few times and were not enough to take her up. She even almost fell down while trotting due to her center of gravity.

After a while, Olenna approached Tilan nervously and expectantly, but she was not very good at talking. She just knelt down on the sofa next to Tilan, waiting for the girl to ask her something.

In this regard, Tilan had no choice but to put down the book in her hand, sit upright, then turned around and asked Mo Li first.

"Did you find anything when you gave her a bath, such as wounds or other problems?"

"There is a long wound on the back of the left leg, and there are branded letters and numbers on the shoulder. Everything else is relatively intact." After hearing Mo Li talk about the wound on her leg, Olenna lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed. Because it is a defective product.

"Where did the wound come from?" Tilan looked at Olenna who was lowering her head.

"I was too stupid when I was a child and accidentally fell on something sharp and got scratched." Olenna explained worriedly, fearing that Tilan would not want her.

"Can you let me see it?"

"I'll show you." Olenna said as she carefully propped herself up on the sofa, then turned around and bent over, rolling up her skirt, revealing the back of her left thigh, which is a long scar from the knee socket to the back of her thigh. .

"It doesn't seem like it could be caused by a fall." Tilan looked at it carefully, and her foundation of human medical knowledge was still very solid.

"It was caused by falling from a high place and hanging on a raised sharp corner." Olenna continued to explain.

"How did you climb so high?" Tilan asked casually.

"Because I play with everyone." Olenna showed a slightly nostalgic expression.

Then she slowly talked about the past. It turned out that Olenna was not from this settlement before, but grew up in another settlement. There were several species of silkworm moths raised there. Olenna was still young at that time, only about seven or eight years old. , because she was still young and could not do much work, but she was very obedient, so the people in the settlement asked her to play with other children.

Of course, they said they were playing with them, but they were actually being treated as toys by the children in the settlement, because the silk moth species had a very low status and they never resisted.

Even though she was often bullied and teased by everyone, when Olenna recalled it, she still felt that it was a very happy time for her, because she could be carried around by everyone, and there were people who could talk to her every day. After playing, although she had to help other people All the kids did the laundry, but she was still happy because she was needed.

A few years later, when Olenna was about fourteen years old, although the status of silkworm moths was very low, because they were almost all purebloods, their appearance and appearance maintained a high level since the first generation. At this time, they gradually grew up. The older Olenna was already very beautiful, and many young people in the settlement wanted to possess her. Fortunately, the leader at the time realized this in advance and locked her up.

"Since then, I have been living in a cage. Occasionally, people will bring me food. I usually do handicrafts and sew clothes for everyone in the cage."

"Although the cage is not very big, it is good to get used to. I can make a very warm nest with my own fallen feathers."

"It's just that since then, few people have come to talk to me, and I don't know where my former companions have gone."

"After about two years of this, the leader found a buyer who was willing to pay a high price and sold me. Because I was still a virgin, I was more valuable." Olenna thought for a while and flapped her wings slightly.

"However, he was still a little regretful. He said that if I had not injured my leg, it would have been a top quality product and could be sent to the Wolf Blood King's camp to participate in the auction."

"I'm very sorry, chief, because I didn't protect myself well when I was a child."

Hearing this, Tilan touched her head to comfort her, and then asked: "Do you like the leader and people of that settlement?"

"I like it. They raised me since I was a child and taught me many things, such as literacy, handicrafts, and talking to me."

"Oh... what a good boy." Tilan sighed.

"Then what happened after that?"

"After the owner of the new settlement bought me, he originally wanted to give me as a prize to the person with the greatest military exploits in the settlement. But then the battle was lost and the settlement was donated, so I was brought here."

"Have you been living in the cold storage since then?"

"Yes, sometimes someone comes to cut my hair and feathers, and then gives me some food."

After telling the general experience, Olena dared to look up at Heshia.

"It's okay, someone will take care of you later." Tilan comforted her for a while, and Olena soon became happy. Just as Fran and Guy said, the silkworm moth species is really easy to coax.

Let Moli take Olena to eat, and Tilan continued to sit in the front hall to read. After that, the companions who were relaxing and walking outside came back. When everyone saw Tilan, they immediately lowered their voices a lot, and then turned to the restaurant for dinner, and then took a shower and went to bed.

After a good night's rest and sleep, Tilan and others set off again. This time, there was a slightly happier silkworm moth species in the team.

On the way, Olena lay by the car window, looking at the scenery outside without boredom. Whenever the wind blew, she would smell the breath with her nose tip, and her mood would be particularly happy, and even the moth wings behind her would flap, but unfortunately she still couldn't fly.

I always feel that the wings are just for decoration, and they can't fly at all, Tilan thought, then asked Olenna to come over and gently pinched the wings behind her.

The texture is very light and delicate, and there is still some white scale powder on my fingers after touching it. Olenna said that these scale powders can be waterproof and have a certain cleaning and sterilization effect, so that they can protect the more fragile silkworm moth species to reduce the chance of disease and avoid the owner's worry about care.     "Will they use your hair as raw material to weave cloth?" Tilan thought of the habits and uses of silkworms.

"Yes, usually after cutting it off, I spin and sew it myself, but I grow slowly, and the last time I spun was a long time ago." Olenna answered seriously.

Guy, who was riding beside the carriage, heard this and answered casually: "The silkworm moth's hair is the best quality cloth in this land, and it is sold at a very high price. I guess the previous leader of the settlement also wanted her to be a golden hen that lays eggs, so he kept her in the cold storage."

"Since the silkworm moth is so useful, why is it still so rare?" Tilan was a little puzzled.

"I don't know either. Anyway, when I was a child, I followed the caravan to many places. They only bought goods produced by silkworm moth, but never really saw silkworm moth." Guy thought for a while.

"I know a little bit." Mo Li, who has always been cold since joining the caravan, finally spoke.

"Silkworms are too delicate. They won't resist. That is to say, if a dog chases her and bites her on the roadside, she will just hide. If someone calls her and tells her not to move, she probably won't dare to move."

"With such a temperament, if you are not careful, you will be exploited by people with bad intentions. Therefore, even in the settlements that raise silkworms, they are hidden to prevent them from contacting others."

"It turned out to be like this." Fran, who had been eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but be surprised. Then he took out a small notebook and quickly recorded it as material for writing a report later.

In the next few days, the caravan passed through many settlements one after another, and the trade increased. The initial more than ten carriages have now increased to nearly 20, and the things exchanged and traded along the way are piled in the carriages.

In this way, the caravan continued to move deeper into the grassland, until one day Tilan felt something while sitting in the carriage, put down the book, and looked out the window.

In the distance of the vision, there is a barren land, the soil is dry and yellow, and near the horizon, a wide winding river reflects the flash of the sun and extends across the land. Beside the river, some herds of deer run in groups, and some step into the river, trying to cross the water, but wild animals similar to crocodiles emerge from them and bite the passing jumping deer.

The caravan gradually came to the river, then stopped, standing by the river, and could clearly feel the moist water vapor spreading under the evaporation of the sun.

"This is it." Guy turned over and got off the horse.

"This river has no special name, because there are no other larger rivers in this land, so it is called 'big river' or 'giant river'." He led the horse to the river, walked a few steps, found a suitable place to go down, and let the horse drink some water.

"There are big turtles similar to crocodiles in the river. They are ferocious, but they don't run fast. As long as you are careful, you won't get hurt." Then Guy waved his hand and asked the caravan members to lead their horses down one by one to drink water.

Tilan also jumped off the car and walked in the refreshing river breeze, looking far away, looking at the endless river.

The widest part of the river is about 100 meters. It looks a little turbid when you look at it up close, but it is as clear as sparkling water when you look at it from a distance.

After these days of monotonous grasslands, Tilan felt much better after seeing this river full of vitality. She even thought about taking off her shoes and walking in the river, but when she got to the riverside and looked at the yellow mud-like water, she took back the idea and just scooped some water with her hands to feel the coldness of the river water and the feeling of the water flowing across her fingertips.

After a while of rest, the caravan continued to walk along the river, but compared with the boring journey before, this time it was much more interesting and rich. On the way, you can see many animals coming to drink water from the grassland, such as groups of wildebeests, birds of prey, sporadic lions and tigers, and some caravans and travelers who were also on the road.

"Are you also going to the Wolfblood King Camp?"

A caravan of similar size to Tilan's sent someone to say hello, and as a gesture of goodwill, the person also gave a bag of milk wine.

After taking the inspection, Guy rode forward and walked side by side with the other party's representative, chatting as they walked. The other party told Guy a lot of recent information on the grassland, and Guy also told him some of the things that happened in the east, such as the fall of Shilin Mountain Castle, the insect plague, etc.

On the way, Guy returned to the caravan and came to Tilan's carriage, telling her the news he had just heard.

"I heard from them that the Wolf Blood Queen has recently summoned many leaders of settlements, and it seems that she wants to make some big moves."

"Because of this event, many merchants and curious travelers are rushing to the Wolf Blood King Camp like going to the market."

"Are we far from the King's Camp now?" Tilan was curious.

"Not far. In fact, this river is the core area of ​​the grassland. If we continue to walk along the river, we will probably see the location of the King's Camp tomorrow. As for whether we can get in before dark, it depends on luck." Guy estimated the time.

"The order in the Wolfblood King's Camp is pretty good. At least they still have some dignity. Under the pressure of the Wolfblood Queen, other people dare not mess around, so the caravans in this area will be much safer."

"We should be able to run into many similar caravans there. If we want to collect food, we can also see many representatives of settlements in the King's Camp and get a lot of useful information. Of course, the most direct way is to trade with the Wolfbloods. They have a lot of food in stock, including various dried fish, pickled meat, fruits on the grassland, etc."

"In that case, let's go." Tilan nodded.

Just like the saying in the East, since you have come here, don't miss it.

"Okay~" Guy said he received it, then he waved his whip and walked back and forth in front of the caravan, notifying everyone to move towards the King's Camp and telling everyone Miss Heshia's will.

He should have had such a plan a long time ago. Tilan watched Guy's actions, thinking silently in his heart, and then shook his head indifferently.

It is human nature to like excitement. She was also curious about how strong the wolfblood queen was and how she used her strength to suppress the various forces on the grassland and let the wolfblood occupy the most fertile land.

If she led the Star-Seeking Covenant to settle in this land, the two sides would meet sooner or later, and it would be a good thing to know each other's personality in advance.

The afternoon sun gradually tilted, and the caravan moved slowly along the river. Tilan sat in the carriage with unfinished plans and handwriting in front of her. The pen between her fingers occasionally turned, thinking about how to build the "Star-Seeking Covenant" in the future, how the various races inside should get along, and how to define the core belief rules, etc.

Although she had experience as a student union president and club leader before, the complexity of truly leading an organization from scratch and expanding life is incomparable to campus life, but if she can really do it step by step, it will be a huge improvement for Tilan.

Or perhaps, only by going through such a process, leading a large organization to gain a foothold in a cruel environment, and building and expanding step by step, can she truly grow into a qualified leader, rather than just a vase singer who calls for slogans, or a military figure who only knows how to solve problems with violence.

The fragrance of knowledge and the power of gentleness, the beautiful fireworks born from the interweaving of the two, will bloom in the repeated collisions with real problems.
