Author: It has been quite some time since my last update, mainly because I tend to be lazy and only write when I'm in the mood and feeling motivated. However, I recently found myself in the writing mood again and felt guilty about leaving you all without an update for so long. To make it up to you, I have prepared worth of three chapters chapter that I hope you will enjoy. ~(●-●)~
....
The books in the wooden box are Stella's excerpts from some theories and methods of previous lives. They contain many things, including food production, crop rotation, basic education, mathematics, physics, politics, philosophy, and national commerce and currency economy.
These are all written by Stella who used the library card to check the old earth books. It can be described as a reduced version of the encyclopedia, covering all aspects.
The fruit of the tree of the miracle tree. It is a natural panacea. Whether it is treatment, detoxification, improvement of physique, aiding cultivation, strengthening of strength in a short time, etc., it has great benefits.
In a sense, this fruit can be used in any difficult situation to reverse the situation. It is also the last card given to William, so the girl uses it to represent luck.
After finishing packing, William woke up early the next morning, just after dawn, a few birds cooing on the top of the tree, and there was crystal dew on the grass.
In fact, he didn't sleep much all night, and all kinds of emotions filled his heart, including anticipation and fear for the future, as well as the reluctance of parting.
Anyway, this teacher is so beautiful, I feel sorry for it to be hard to see such a person in the future.
After he packed his luggage, he looked at this dense forest. Every morning, the black-haired girl would walk out of it and teach him a one-day course. Now that the course is over, will she still show up?
After waiting for a while, the black figure of the girl still did not appear. William sighed slightly, moved his body, and was about to leave.
When he took the first step with the baggage, the familiar and light voice came not far behind him.
"You haven't paid me tuition yet."
He turned around and found that Stella was still wearing that white dress, sitting on the branch, as if they had met for the first time.
"What does the teacher need?"
After getting along with this time, William knew in his heart that this teacher was definitely not a layman who pursued money and property.
Stella wanted to say an astronomical number of mora, but looking at this shabby boy, she knew that she could not get it out, so she had to think of something else.
It would be fine if he had money now, and I would also like to get rich overnight, the girl thought.
"The tuition fee I want can't be paid simply, and I have also told you about the concept of shares before."
"If you build a big country in the future, it will be my contribution, understand?"
"Understood, teacher, I understand."
William had a clear expression on his face, as if he really understood.
What did this guy understand, Stella didn't understand it a bit instead.
"Okay, as long as you understand."
...
"Come back alive, don't die, no one will pay the debt by then."
"Well, thank you, teacher. I will definitely come back alive."
William waved his hand to say goodbye to Stella, and then the figure slowly disappeared into the distance.
Watching the boy leave, Stella felt a little melancholy, and she would live alone again.
Although I have taught William a lot, Stella still does not hold out much hope. Maybe they will never see each other again.
[Life is not long...]
[When you are waiting]
[That little hope]
[Patience... but nowhere to find]
The girl's soft singing began to ripple slowly in the forest.
[Shadow...]
[full of your life]
[Don't be discouraged]
[Don't be heartbroken]
[Don't spend extra time]
[in this kind of thing]
[Everything will slowly change]
...
[Even if the wings are broken]
[I can't stop you either]
[Someday, you will arrive]
She closed her eyes, recalled the ballads of her previous life, and sang softly.
[This is a long night]
[When you are searching]
[But I can't see hope]
[Your heart is so lost]
[You will want to escape from this pain]
[I know it seems meaningless]
[I know this is extremely hypocritical]
[I know you can't stand it]
[Continue one more day]
[Go forward one more day]
[Even though my body is bruised and bruised]
[Even if the wings are broken]
[I can't stop you from flying]
[One day at last]
[You will see]
[The miraculous starlight]
Although she came to this world completely different from her previous life, she still hopes that people she knows can lead a good life and get what she wanted. After all, she was still softer and didn't want to see a too sad ending.
Just when Stella closed her eyes and prayed, in an instant, the clouds on the entire Starnatch Cliff were separated, like an invisible ring spreading out in the sky, and countless layers of clouds dissipated invisible.
All over of Teyvat. People witnessed a miracle. The blue sky swayed a standard and huge circle centred on a mountain range somewhere in the middle of the mainland.
In this magnificent circle, there is no shadow of any cloud. The blue sky is like an extremely pure and transparent gem, with a magnificent light purple, and many shining stars appear in the sky. Even in the daytime, you can still see the flashing behind it in a precise pattern.
At this time, all the wind on the mainland temporarily stopped flowing, and the person who looked up felt a sense of despair when facing the boundless, magnificent sky, and the sense of self-existence seemed to be completely affected by it. Engulfed, blended into it.
On the top of the world, on the Celestia, all the Gods and Sages stood up and looked up.
Soon after, countless owls flew out of Celestia and flew to the capital of every country on the continent, announcing the new enlightenment issued by the Gods and the Sages who followed the ancient covenant.
An island in the far west of the whirlpool sea, there is no light at night, it is said to be an island but it is big enough to live on by millions of people.
In the middle of the island is a black gothic tower and castle.
At this time, two girls in black dresses stood by the guardrail of the tower, looking at the thrilling blue in the distant sky.
"It seems that one of our sisters has awakened."
"It's incredible."
"Yes, even if we have lived for thousands of years, this is the first time we have seen such a scene."
"This world is going to be lively again.
"Hmm. I'm sorry, Agnes, I'm afraid I won't be able to spend the Lantern Rite festival with you this time. I think I want to go and find the newborn sister."
"No need to apologize, Agatha. If it weren't for me to leave here, I'm afraid I would be as curious and anxious as you. After all, we have fewer and fewer companions."
"Thank you, Agnes, then I will go first. Next time, I will bring you gold fish cakes from Fontaine as a gift."
One of the blonde and blue-eyed girls jumped off the balcony, and then a fantasy carriage caught her in the air. Then the two black unicorns stepped on the hoofs of the blue flame, ran in the air, and drove the carriage to the east.
Watching the girl with blonde hair and blue eyes hurriedly leave, the girl with black hair left behind smiled and shook her head.
"After so many years, you are still as lively as before."
--------
Young William listened to the ethereal singing. His heart was full of emotions, but he still didn't look back.
Don't worry, I will definitely survive.
I will spread your ideas and ideas to all corners of the world and tell all people in the world with actual great deeds.
There is a sage named Stella Evernigth, who has brought new ideas and innovations to the world and conveyed a dream worthy of everyone's hard work, struggle, and sacrifice.
That is to build a fair, just, wise, brave, rich, and equal country.
If I can't do it, let my students, my descendants, inherit this dream. From generation to generation, keep trying, fighting, and fighting until the miraculous stars come.
I think this is what you call 'tuition'.
...
After Stella prayed, she felt a burst of sleepiness, and then she leaned against the tree trunk and fell asleep. When she woke up again, three days had passed. At this time, the sky had already returned to its original state, no abnormalities were visible, and naturally, there was no way of knowing the major events that happened the previous few days.
This is how long I slept, but fortunately, no beast came over.
The girl jumped down from the tree, feeling a little scared, then returned to the hut in the maple forest, took a shower, and ate something before she continued to sleep.
Life has returned to a brief calm again.
Stella began to consider the storage of grain these days. The wheat fields she developed in the maple grove are growing very well. She doesn't know the specific output, so she has a little more variety in case it is not enough in the future.
Then, the fruit trees continued to be planted enough for her to eat.
The new crop has also achieved results, and that is the improvement of cotton.
[Full Moon Cotton·] (Purple): Improved from Moonlight Cotton, it needs to grow in a place with plenty of moonlight and natural magic. Can be harvested to make moonlight cloth.
This moon night cotton was originally located in a corner of the maple leaf forest. Unfortunately, the location was not good, and most of the moonlight was blocked by the shade of the trees. After this improvement, Stella was specially transplanted to the clearing in the middle of the forest, which is acceptable Plenty of moonlight.
[Moonlight Cloth](Silver grade), this kind of cloth was loved by many nobles in the upper layers of the old Celestia in historical records. It was originally moon white, but it can also be dyed in other colors. It is extremely comfortable to wear, does not stick to dust, avoids water and oil, and does not hinder the perception and absorption of mana or magic. So, it has always been a luxury product that was in short supply at the time.
After Stella improvement, its quality has risen a step, but this is not the end. She really aims to use cotton to weave [Twilight Cloth] (Gold).
The harvested pure moon cotton is spun into yarn and then soaked in the juice of the three-leaf purple heart, dyed with lavender. Wait until the evening sunset to take the silk thread out of the dye and place it in the afterglow of the setting sun, and then use a special technique to guide mana in the dye to mix the magic of the setting sun into the silk thread.
Finally, the silk thread dried in the setting sun was preserved, and the twilight cloth was woven according to the weaving technique in the record. This is also the most critical step. Every time we weave, a tiny mana magic array will be formed through the structure of the silk thread. In the end, thousands of tiny magic arrays are connected to each other, and they are connected to each other, becoming the real twilight light.
[Twilight Cloth] (Gold): It has a great affinity for mana and other magic powers, which is extremely helpful in the absorption and recovery of magic powers, and it has excellent toughness and a certain self-repair ability, whether it is fighting or practicing.
Since the hut in the forest was built, Stella has spent quite a long time making his own furniture.
The basic wooden beds, wooden cabinets, wooden tables, wooden chairs, and wooden boxes are all made of trees in the maple grove. She didn't cut the tree directly but took some thicker branches and cut them down as raw materials. Fortunately, these trees have been grown for a long time, are very tall and obscure the sky, and even the branches are more than enough to make furniture.
According to the evaluation of the system, these trees are basically blue grades, and the quality is very good.
After, I searched all over the forest, only to find clay, but there was no suitable clay, so the bowls, plates, pots, spoons, jars, etc. in the house are all pottery.
Actually, the pottery is also very good. The girl uses her sensitive distinguishing ability to remove all the impurities in the clay, then mix it with water, knead it very finely, and then put it on a small rotating wooden plate and start making it.
It was unfamiliar at first, and the shape was a little weird, but later, it got better. In fact, by personally kneading a piece of clay into a beautifully shaped jar, there will be a very happy sense of accomplishment.
Then, the shaped embryos are baked with the heat of fire and finally sintered, holding it in the hand, which will give a sense of accomplishment spontaneously.
Because this is made by myself, there will be special satisfaction and affection.
The clay bowls and pots in the hut are a warm crimson color, and Stella will put them in the cabinet when not in use.
Afterwards, she also tried to make a primitive small oven out of clay to bake bread.
But some things in life are still lacking, such as salt.
Starnatch Cliff is located in the south-central part of the mainland, and far away from the sea, salt is basically no need to think about it. There is no natural saltwater lake nearby in the case of pond salt. So the most direct way is to find nearby villages and exchange with others.
This is the problem. According to William's description, you can reach the border of Mondstadt by walking 150 to 200 kilometres west. In terms of the speed of a girl, this is actually not far.
But for some reason, she doesn't want to be in direct contact with outsiders now. As a senior farming player, she has always believed in low-key farming, stable development, and then winning with strength.
Her current strength can't be said to be very strong, and she also knows that her current appearance will cause a lot of trouble when she goes out.
There is no powerful means of protection...
No, there seems to be one. She touched the butterfly hairpin on the side of her bangs.
[Celastrina's Butterfly Hairpin](Purple): The witch/god Celastrina puts her unique magic power on this hairpin before her death, which can be worn and used. (Number of times of use 3/3)
A very rare treasure, the blue crystals are inlaid on chromium. It is exquisitely shaped and lifelike. If it is used fully, it is equivalent to the full blow of a God.
But, I can't bear to use it. It's the same with grapes. Stella is the kind of person who likes to save the best for last.
Besides, a good 3/3 becomes 2/3, and it feels imperfect. The weak obsessive-compulsive disorder will always want to restore this to its fullest.
So, after hesitating for a long time, Stella decided to go to other places within the Starnatch Cliff first, and not to contact the humans of the Mondstadt for the time being. After all, this is a magical world. Maybe there will be any new discoveries.
...
Springvale Village, southern forest.
A group of cats are busy reinforcing the wooden fence by the village. They are said to be animals. In fact, they are basically the same as humans, except for the pair of cat ears and cat tail on their heads.
Some simple crops, such as vegetables, beans, and some brown mushrooms, are sporadically planted on the hillside. Fortunately, they are generally in growth
There are about 200 cat ears in the village, and they all live in stone house.
The men, women, and children in the village seem to be very busy. They ran around in a hurry, constantly bringing in stones, adding wooden fences, and sharpening the upper part of the wooden wall to increase their lethality.
Unfortunately, they have limited ironware and not many weapons. Most of them are sharpened with wooden poles as guns, and only a few of the spear tips are covered with iron spear heads.
And those gun tips are full of small notches. They should have been used for a long time, but they are polished very brightly, and there is no rust. They should be very good for normal maintenance.
Stella was quietly observing this special group of races on the opposite hill.
The Cat Ear Clan is a branch of the orc clan. In the first era, the orcs were also widely distributed in all corners of the continent, and they also had their own countries. They were a powerful race second only to elves at that time. They have their own unique culture, writing, and customs.
But there are also huge differences between the orcs. Some are very addicted to murder and violence, and some are very gentle and weak and can not be generalized.
The group of cat in front of them belonged to a relatively weak group. In historical records, even during the heyday of the orc empire, they often worked as peasants and auxiliary workers. They were the only ones who participated in the war and left a record. Very ugly.
Today's external situation is that the girl is not very clear, but she probably guessed that this group of rabbits and cats should have a bad life. Most of them are thin, poorly dressed, with a lot of patches, and they are very thin.
In the early autumn morning, there was a bit of chill in the mountains, and some young kittens were cold and a little trembling, and it was much better after the sun rose.
The only commendable thing is that they love cleanliness and are more united.
While the clothes are worn out, they are whitish, and there are not many stains. The situation of collaboration during work is very good. If there is a cat who can't handle the job alone, others are willing to help, and at the same time, it can be seen that they are very hardworking. Everyone works together, and no one is lazy. Even the little bunny will do simple things as much as possible.
"Kanda... how are the preparations in the village now?"
An elderly old man with a pair of gray cat ears on his head, pestering a cane and asking a strong young man in front of him, this young man also has a pair of cat ears on his head, but they are black.
"Father, we have refurbished the surrounding walls of the village and put stones on the back for reinforcement, and we are almost done."
"Okay...well...have everyone gathered in the village? Is there anyone who hasn't come back outside?"
"Almost all came back. Only Eden did not come back. He said he would go to other villages for help."
"Other villages, alas...don't embarrass others, the surrounding villages of the cat ears. In fact, everyone knows the situation in their hearts, which one does not survive the hardship, and there is no room to help us."
"When I was young, there were more than a dozen villages, large and small, in this forest. They could also support each other and exchange what is needed. At that time, they could even get some iron products. Now, there are only 5 villages left. , I am afraid that there will be only 4 in a long time, alas..."
"Father, can't we leave this dangerous forest?"
The young man with black rabbit ears was a little puzzled and excited.
"Leave? Where can I go if I leave here?"
The old man sighed and touched a hair ornament hanging from the crutch. The main body of this ornament is a ball, and under it is a bronze nameplate wrapped with a few strings. The nameplate is engraved with two words. If you are familiar with the orc language.
"The Kingdom of Orcs, that once powerful country has been dissipated for thousands of years. Now, it is the world of mankind. Where can I go? In this mountain forest, at least there is still freedom. After going out, you can only become a slave."
"But, I heard that there are still a large number of orc tribes on the Windrise. We can go there."
"No... silly boy, in a foreign country, the same kind is sometimes even more terrifying than humans."
"Although humans will catch us as slaves, they can at least survive. When we meet the same kind, our cat ears may be treated as food. Don't think this is alarmist. In the beginning, this kind of thing did not happen frequently. Over."
The old man with cat ears shook his head, looked at the busy people on the hillside, and was silent for a while before talking.
"If you can't resist it later, you can take this nameplate and go to other villages with the rest of the young men and children who can go."
"This is the clan card that was bestowed on the Cat Ears when the Orc Empire was still there. The Cat Ears tribe only got three nameplates, namely, Black, white, and grey."
"Thousands of years ago, with this nameplate, you could have the qualification to grow grain east of the Windrise and be protected by the Imperial Parade. As a duty, the tribes of Cat Ears had to pay sufficient amounts to the Empire every year. Food to maintain this relationship."
"It is said that the first few years were okay. Later, as the number of our clan continued to rise, in order to control the number, the empire used young people to fight or work."
"It is a war, but in fact, it is using our cat ears as cannon fodder or even marching rations."
The black-eared youth is a little hard to accept the fact that he had no other way to learn about this dust-covered history for thousands of years, and it was the first time he heard of it today.
"I see, father."
The youth's tone was a bit heavy, and then he continued to ask.
"Aren't you leaving?"
"I'm old, I can't walk fast, I can't work, I just waste food."
"You have grown up, I have taught you everything that should be taught." The old man touched the young man's head with his yellow palm and smiled with relief.
"When people meet, there will be a day of separation, so don't be sad. Besides, there is still the possibility of victory? Are you a young man? Why am I not as ambitious as I am?"
...
There is no shortage of monsters in Springvale, and there is a big snake looking for food near the cat ears village. This extraordinary big snake is 7-8 meters thick and has a white and black ring pattern on its body. Many cats have been swallowed by this big snake recently.
According to observations over the past two days, the trace of the snake's activity is getting closer and closer to the village. Sooner or later, it will be a matter of finding the village.
The crops near the village have not yet been harvested. If they are discarded and left, it means that a large amount of grain can not be harvested, which will make many cats starve to death in the winter.
After foreseeing this situation, the people in the village of cat ears decided to stick to the village, gather the power of the whole village, and defensively counterattack in an attempt to kill the big snake.
The old village chief is not optimistic about this action, but there is no other way but to organize the whole village to take a risk.
Stella was on the opposite hill, and she naturally sensed the giant snake nearby. It was a silver level. She was also very difficult to win against, but she had more than self-preservation.
In fact, she is also very curious about how these cats will respond. In her observation, the strongest in this village is the black-eared cat.
In the history of Teyvat studied by Stella, since the orc's empire was destroyed at the end of the first 500 years of the Archon War, various tribes were scattered everywhere, most of them were wiped out by humans, and only a few survived and were driven to in the northwest. The grassland, this orc's last private place. It is difficult to see them in other places.
Humans had a deep hatred with the orcs back then, which is why the revenge was so severe afterwards.
It wasn't until more than 500 years after the founding of the Celestia that this kind of encirclement and suppression of the orcs slowly ceased. Of course, it was also because they could no longer pose a threat to humans, so they stopped being so targeted.
The woods outside the village are sparse, a black-body and white-ringed snake spit out letters and slides through the forest. The huge body constantly overwhelms some low shrubs, leaving a ravine on the ground.
It was this afternoon, and the crawling sound from the forest had long been spotted by a few keen cats. They dared not stay and ran back to the village quickly to report the situation.
"It's not good, the village head, Brother Kanda, the snake is here." A teenager ran into the village shouting, and the cats around began to get nervous, speeding up the work at hand.
"Harl, Rud, you two quickly shut the gate, and the others take bows and spears and go up to the high platform at the head of the village with me."
Commanded the people in the village loudly. For a while, everyone stabilized a bit and took their place according to the instructions.
Thirty young adults climbed the wooden wall and high platform at the entrance of the village, stared at the woods not far away, and waited.
After a while, a snake head came out of the forest. After sniffing the cat's message, it raised the snake head and stared at the dwarf cats.
Stella checked the information of the snake.
...
Race: Silver Ring Snake (variant)
Status: Healthy (foraging)
Level: 38 (Silver)
Talent:
[Silver Ring Poison]: The poison is extremely violent, the middle one is paralyzed, sleepy, and can quickly cause the death of creatures.
[Black Scale]: Can resist most weak attacks, very tough.
[Regeneration]: Very good self-healing ability can regenerate after docking.
ability:
[Poisonous Teeth]: The venomous venom produced by the venom gland can be conducted by the fangs. After being bitten, it is immediately paralyzed and difficult to break free.
[Poison mist spray]: Spray the venom after atomization, which is more difficult to stop, corrosive, and very dangerous.
[Snake Eye]: The huge snake eye threatens the soul of other creatures, and creatures with weak souls will be deterred and unable to resist.
[Wind Wing] : Ability to manipulate the airflow to form wings to fly or use it to attack. It is not yet fully mastered, and this ability is still growing.
Skill: [Tail Flick] : Sweep with the tail, very powerful.
This skill is very good, Lorrain Hill admired it.
Black scales and gold rings give good protection and recovery capabilities. Snake pupils interfere with the control of the enemy, and then use poison to kill the opponent, especially the poisonous atomization, which makes up for the single attack mode and the situation that it cannot bite people. After the ability has grown up, the airflow can be used to spread the poisonous mist more conveniently, and the danger is directly increased.
Once the opponent is poisoned and paralyzed, he will be slaughtered by the snake, and if necessary, he can make up a bit of venom to make the enemy irreversible.
As the big snake approached, the cats on the wooden wall began to attack with bows and arrows. Unfortunately, the effect was not good. It fell on the scales like itching, unable to penetrate.
Kanda took the spear in his hand, shouted, and then threw the spear out.
The fast-flying spear struck the sound of the howling wind in the air, hit the snake, and set off many black scales, and finally slid away from the snake and landed on the ground next to it.
"Fuck!" The strong young man once again picked up another spear and projected it at the snake's head. However, this time it was easily flashed by the big snake, and then the huge snake's head directly hit the wooden tower and slammed it. After the collision, the cats above shouted to escape from the wooden tower. One of them was injured in his leg and could only limped away. The surrounding companions saw him, and turned back in spite of the danger, helping him to leave.
The big snake stretched its head over the wooden wall, bit the cat, and was about to swallow it. At this time, the other cats on the wooden wall looked at it and quickly picked up weapons and attacked. The snake was covered in scales. These attacks did not care, but when one of them was When the cats poked his eyes with a spear, he had no choice but to avoid it.
At this time, Kanda also took up his weapon, rushed over, inserted the iron gun into the snake's mouth, and the giant snake suffered a bite and opened its mouth. This allowed the cat in his mouth to be rescued by his companion.
After his mouth was injured, the snake finally got serious. He opened the dark golden snake eyes wide and stared at the rabbits present.
These cats were shocked and trembling all over, but they were powerless, a huge fear spread in their minds. Only the black-eared rabbit can pick up the spear and continue to throw it.
The giant snake knocked down the village wall with its tail. The huge body crushed the wooden wall, then opened its fangs and sprayed a white mist at the cats in the village.
Some stone roofs are corroded directly after encountering the fog, making a sizzling sound. The few cats in the front fell unconsciously.
Kanda threw his iron spear at the snake's mouth, trying to interrupt the giant snake's poisoning. However, the giant snake raised its head and directly blocked the attack with its body's scales, and the iron spear was set off on the snake's belly. Scales, and then can't move forward anymore.
And Kanda had no suitable weapons by his side at this time, watching the poisonous mist gradually spread over. He could only close his eyes in despair and wait for death.
