Tertiary, 1686, the end of the flame.


    The frost rose alliance, newly established among the seven Xuehua countries, sent troops to the north. The new Vega alliance stopped the alliance on the ground that the other party had broken the agreement without any statement. At the same time, it appealed to its allies, the parliament of the little moon and the United Kingdom of red berries for help.


    The supporting shenyiniao troops crossed the Nanyang River to a branch of the sighing mountains. Under Jiansong City, they defeated the magic image legion of frost rose and destroyed the fleet going north. At this point, frost Rose''s offensive for one meal, the conflict between the two sides once again escalated.


    At the same time, the Falcon Kingdom on the west side of the union of new Vega, that is, southwest of clancia, announced to join the frost rose alliance. In the northern part of Heiyan, the capital of the Duchy was besieged by the "long halberd" faction, and the beacon city in Heishan was defended by the "bow hunting" faction. In the holy land, after the death of the former Pope, the position of the new Pope has been shelved, and various factions are surging.


    In the face of the chaos of the Xuehua seven countries, the green Empire turned a blind eye to it. The imperial capital began to prepare for the wedding of the crown prince and planned the site. It is expected that the preparation will be completed in a year.


    The endless sea waves increased, and the routes to the eastern Canary Dynasty were gradually reduced. At the same time, the Canary Dynasty no longer sent a three-year mission to visit the southern islands. The number of ships going to sea was gradually reduced under the prohibition of the dynasty.

    Ermenas, temple college.


    Now there is one more lodger in the cottage where rosier lives. It is her good friend, half elf girl flossia.


    "How long will this take, Rochelle?"


    Flossia was standing in the kitchen in her apron, her spoon gently stirring the white soup in the pan. Although the flame below licks at the bottom of the casserole, the potatoes, chicken, mushrooms, etc. in the casserole keep rolling, emitting bursts of fragrance.


    "About 20 minutes."


    Girl estimates, in fact, she usually can''t record time, look at ripe, tasty, can eat good.


    In the room next to the kitchen, Rosie was wearing a white winter dress and was writing a form. Looking at the pamphlet, it should be almost finished.


    These are the things the chief wants to arrange. She''s going to clancia next year. These have to be done ahead of time.


    Hoo, I''m finished. I can have a good rest now.


    Lorraine Hill looked up, put the pen aside, put away the book, turned to the kitchen and saw how flossia''s meal was going.


    This landsworth''s eldest lady recently moved to live with herself. She had no other servants'' clothes and didn''t want to trouble herself to cook all the time, so she volunteered to learn how to cook.


    In many stories, it is always said that someone can''t cook, and there will be some dark cooking, which is a cute point. But Lorraine Hill felt that it must have been exaggerated. Maybe not at the beginning, but if you experiment for several times, it''s delicious, but it''s OK to make it ripe.


    What''s more, you can''t cook with water when you are in trouble. And she taught her to start with the simplest soup.


    Just wash the food, cut it into pieces, put it in a pot and add water to heat it. There''s nothing simpler.


    "Let me see."


    She opened the lid and looked at the scene. The boiling soup almost jumped out of the pot.


    "Why so much water?" Lorraine Hill looked at the landsworth''s eldest lady, who was at a loss.


    "But isn''t it better to put more water? It won''t dry out, and it will completely submerge the food. "


    Well, this one and Kitty are two extremes.


    Kitty likes to heat the bottom of the pot with a flame. In her own words, it''s like covering food with her hands. It''s especially interesting, but the consequence is that the heat is too strong, and it often burns black charcoal or boils the pot dry.


    "That''s right, but the taste will be diluted by the soup and not strong enough." Lorraine Hill took a spoon from Francia''s hand, scooped out some of the extra soup, poured it into the pool, tasted the salt and continued to add some seasoning.


    Looking at Lorraine Hill''s skillful and serious appearance, flossia admired her. People are like this. If someone is good at something he is not good at, he will always have a trace of respect.


    "That''s all right. Just wait a little while." Put the lid back on and they went back to the hall.


    At this time, the season is already the winter of ermenas, the window is quietly floating snow, some snow accumulated on the windowsill, in the lattice window corner shallow condensation.


    The air is much colder than before, and the staff or students on the street have changed into thick clothes.


    It''s true that the extraordinary can use magic to keep out the cold, but after all, it''s more painstaking. It''s better to wear more thick clothes, so it''s more comfortable.


    Back in the hall, Lorraine Hill picked up a little firewood with pliers, put it into the fireplace to fuel it, and then sat on the chair beside the fireplace with flossia.


    The sky is a little gray in winter. The fireplace reflects a light red light in the room. As the flame burns, the temperature in the room rises slowly.


    "How did Floria spend the winter at home?" Lorraine Hill asked the girl next to him.


    "It''s almost as usual. It''s warm everywhere in the house."


    Well, it seems to be a worthless question, thought Lorraine hill. According to her family background, the growth environment should be extremely luxurious.


    "If flossia doesn''t marry the crown prince, what kind of family background can she marry you?"


    Flossia''s face was flushed by the fire, and she thought for a moment before answering.


    "According to my aunt or other elders, they usually marry into the Earl''s family, or a Viscount''s family with more potential and excellence. But there are also unmarried elders, who are not poor in their own strength and easy to live alone. "


    "I thought I would go this way too..." she looked at the fire in a daze.


    "If flossia doesn''t want to get married, I can do something about it."


    Maybe it''s a little bit hard to give up in my heart. Lorraine Hill doesn''t want to see this friend enter into a forced marriage. The society of the previous life has been advocating the sanctity and freedom of marriage. Although sometimes it''s not popular, some ideas are gradually popularized in everyone''s heart, which is also one of the most basic choices.


    "No, it''s not good to involve you." Flossia shook her head. The people and things involved in this matter are not simple. The girl beside her can''t solve it. It''s too dangerous to involve her.


    "I''ll give you a present."


    Lorraine Hill took a velvet box out of a cabinet on one side.


    Open the box to reveal a delicate light gold pendant. The pendant is as transparent as crystal, and there is a little liquid rippling in it. Under the reflection of the fire, this little liquid reflects a little colorful starlight, which is very beautiful.


    "If you want to leave one day, drink the liquid. The liquid will make you very lucky and everything goes well in one day."


    "Take it as a farewell blessing."
