Chapter 394

Chapter 394: First Arrival at Yubelle

In the forest, there stood a mansion.

The white stone bricks were uneven, with a faint pink hue. The floors intersected with two raised strips horizontally, giving the building a unique appearance. The small mansion was shaded by tall trees, making it feel cool rather than hot.

“Which means you can’t come to my house this year again,” Florasia said, looking at the girl before her with a slight frown.

Lolan Hill felt a twinge of guilt when she saw the blonde-haired girl. However, the decision had been made, and it was already recorded in the school’s register. Changing it now would be awkward.

“I’m sorry, Florasia. But I’ll remember this, and I promise to come next time,” Lolan said, clasping her hands together in front of her. She seldom broke promises, and this time she felt a bit guilty about it.

Floriasia bit her lip, looking at the cute silver-haired girl before her. She couldn’t bring herself to scold her.

“Alright. Remember, no backing out next time.”

“Mm.” Lolan stood up and hugged Florasia, catching a whiff of a light floral scent. This girl with elven blood was one of the most beautiful girls she had seen among her peers.

Her golden hair shone like the sun, slightly curled. Florasia reached out and hugged the girl in front of her, their silver and golden hair intertwining.

“It’s been a while since we last met. How have you been? Have you fainted or felt unwell?” she asked the soft-spoken silver-haired girl.

“Recently, I’ve been doing well. Nothing like fainting,” Lolan slowly stood up and sat beside Florasia, holding hands with her.

“I’m relieved to hear that,” Florasia said, wearing a white dress. Unlike Lolan, her dress had light green trim on the hem and sleeves, while Lolan only had a red ribbon around her waist.

“The next semester will start earlier. The school will arrange some rehearsals for the Winter Festival. Are you participating in any performances?”

“Not really considered it yet,” Lolan suddenly felt uneasy but there was no time to escape now.

“How about we prepare a performance together next semester?”

As expected, Florasia had another trick up her sleeve. Lolan felt a bit guilty about not being able to go to Florasia’s house, so she couldn’t refuse her again and could only nod in agreement.

“Okay.”

“Are we going to sing in front of everyone again? It feels a bit embarrassing. Even though I’ve participated in large festivals before, I still can’t let go.”

“No backing out,” Florasia said again.

“I won’t,” Lolan felt her wrist being lifted by Florasia.

“This is for you,” Florasia took off a woven bracelet from her wrist and put it on Lolan.

The green vine and white rose bracelet was as fresh as if freshly picked, with small white flowers on it.

[Green Vine White Rose Bracelet] (Rating: Rare Coral): It has the effects of healing, detoxifying, protection, and short-distance teleportation.

Although it had many functions, Lolan basically knew how to use them all. Giving it to her felt somewhat wasteful.

“This?”

“Take it. Consider it a gift from me,” Florasia said, still valuing this good friend.

“Mm.”

Her fair wrist was adorned with the woven bracelet, and both hands together looked unexpectedly harmonious.

“Let’s go, let’s go,” Alena raised her hand, holding a suitcase high, and walked forward, calling out to the crowd behind her.

Lolan Hill, Bumansa, Ye Ling, Letis, Nia, Lily, Vimya, and Keti followed behind, heading towards the airport on campus. A pure white and beautifully designed airship was parked here.

“We’re going to the southern Yubelle first, then take a boat to the Southern Isles,” Letis suggested. According to the map, this was the closest route.

“Alright,” everyone agreed.

Yubelle, the capital of the former Vergha Commercial Alliance, Lolan thought to herself, then carried her wicker box and boarded the airship.

Thanks to the storage ring, she only packed some daily necessities and a stuffed bear in the box. The rest of her clothes were stored in the ring, preventing them from getting damp or dirty.

However, she still needed to hide it a little, after all, storage effect space equipment was quite rare.

“Tired~” Nightling started rubbing her eyes right after sitting down.

“Litle Nightling must have been reading those novels again last night,” Alena teased.

“There’s no such thing,” Nightling shook her twin tails and defended herself, then tried to switch seats with Letis.

“Letis, can we switch places? I want to sit next to Lolan,” she said in a cutesy manner.

“Alright, alright, you always wrap yourself around Lolan,” Letis sighed, not too concerned about the seating arrangement.

“Hehe~” Nightling happily moved to the inner seat and pulled Lolan’s arm, trying to sleep against her.

“Fool,” Lolan hit her head lightly.

“I’m not stupid, Nightling is very smart,” she argued, then comfortably rested her head on Lolan’s lap and fell asleep.

Lolan gently stroked her hair and watched the scenery outside the small round window as the airship swayed slightly, its propellers humming. The verdant earth gradually faded away.

Passing through layers of mountains and clouds, the airship headed south. To avoid disputes, the route followed the Sighing Mountains to the south, below which lay vast primeval mountains and wilderness.

The scenery changed as they traveled. Initially, it was deep green coniferous forests, then light green and yellow-leaved broadleaf forests. Further south, gentle hills and grasslands appeared.

After three days of flight, signs of human habitation began to appear below. Fields of golden wheat and farmhouses, towns with white walls and red roofs, bustling cities, and finally, a blue line appeared on the horizon, with sea breezes blowing.

Albatrosses cried as they flew under the airship. Sailing ships slowly entered the harbor, and the sounds of the city grew louder.

“This is Yubelle, the former capital of the Vergha Commercial Alliance,” Letis said, standing by the railing and looking at the approaching scenery, addressing Lolan.

“Indeed, very prosperous,” the girl looked down at the city, comparing it with her memories or Praner. Yubelle was about twice the size of Hoplane and had a deeper harbor with more ships docked.

This was once the capital and an important hub connecting the eastern and western continents.

With a slight tremor, the airship landed on the landing pad outside the city.

As the propellers gradually slowed down, passengers and young people walked down the stairs, curiously examining the bustling city.

Clean and tidy streets, houses built with red and white bricks, blue tiles, and iron lanterns painted black.

“Father’s ship probably won’t arrive for a couple more days,” Alena said, then prepared to lead everyone to find a place to stay.

“Maybe we can do some shopping these two days,” Lily said excitedly, looking at the glass windows filled with goods on the street.

“Haha, just like what I thought,” Alena and Lily high-fived.

“Alright, it’s settled then.”
