Chapter 42: Secret History Assessment Autumn grew deeper, withered leaves drifted down the mountains, and the distant mountain scenery turned half green, half yellow. Iona walked through the withered forest, her steps crunching loudly on the fallen leaves. She arrived at the foot of a large banyan tree outside Burntstone City; this giant tree stood out conspicuously in this mountainous area. After a wait, another person walked into the forest, wearing a black cloak and a cloth mask over their…-

Chapter 41 The Maiden's Prayer "So, today, let me first understand your fundamentals." Hylial was wearing a white top and a plain blue skirt today, looking quite bright and lively, much better than the consistently black, plain dress she had worn for a while. In the resting area beside the training ground, the maiden hung up a small blackboard and began tutoring the two students. After some communication and understanding, she quickly grasped their situations. Komia's problem wasn't big; apart from…

Chapter 40: Tutoring Plan After the outing and study in Luanshu Village, the group once again boarded the carriage and returned to Burntstone City. This week wasn't long, but when everyone returned to Burntstone City, they had the illusion that a long time had passed. "So, going out is a necessary thing." Talil sat at the dining table, sharing her thoughts with Hylial. "How has Talil's work been lately?" Hylial asked her, eating mushroom soup. "I'm doing great, I've run all over Burntstone City…

Chapter 39 The Connection of Silk and String After Scholar Hyde examined Mick, reset his broken bones, and applied medicine, he instructed him to rest well and not move around for the next few days. "Thank you, teacher." Mick lay on the bed, feeling somewhat lost and ashamed. "It's fine, just rest for now," Scholar Hyde stood up and motioned for the others to come out as well. "You all did very well. In the future, you can help each other more with anything that comes up," Scholar Hyde looked at them…

Chapter 38 Shaking Blue Sky On the last day, Hylial let Komia and Karen have free time and no longer needed to follow her. "Today, I plan to take a walk by the village and ask the local farmers for their experience in planting crops." "Aren't you going to continue picking mushrooms today?" "We've already walked through the nearby forest once; going deeper would be unsafe." The girl shook her head slightly. She wasn't afraid alone, but Komia and Karen might be. "Alright," Komia thought about it and…

Chapter 37: The Mushroom-Picking Girl The continuous two-day drizzle finally ended. On the new day, the morning light pierced through the forest, and crisp bird songs echoed in the mountains. Opening the window, Hylial looked at the distant fields and the sky, feeling a rare clarity and freshness. She wanted to go out today and didn't want to stay in her room reading. Compared to her, some students were even more eager to rush into the fields, excitedly running and breathing the fresh air. After…

Chapter 36 Afternoon in the Rain For an entire morning, Hylial and the other students listened to Scholar Hyde explain the key points and precautions of the "Bonfires and Dance Steps" ceremony. “You’ve generally memorized the relevant matters now, but did you pay attention to the chanted songs and drum rhythms from last night?” “Well…” Many of them looked at each other, and a few noble students were exposed to music, but not deeply. It was still too difficult for them to immediately…

Chapter 35: Folk Songs and Dances by the Fire As Hylial and her companions approached the square, the enormous bonfire cast long shadows of the three on the ground, and the crimson fire, even from a distance of over ten meters, still made her feel its surging heat. Around the square, several drummers held animal skin drums and beat them. They were old, their deep-set eyes and wrinkled skin bathed in the firelight, yet at this moment, they possessed an inexplicable artistic charm. Ancient songs echoed by…

Chapter 34 The Lonely Girl At night, after settling into their lodgings, the students gathered again. "The accommodation was specially built by Viscount Xuefeng; he occasionally brings his family here for outings," Komia said, in good spirits. "Although it's quite ordinary, it's relatively clean, much better than those houses full of straw and the smell of livestock." "The three of us are sharing a room, and Iona and Valeni are in the room opposite." Among the students this term, there were only five…

Chapter 33 Luanshu Village A new day. Hylial, dressed in a long black dress, carrying a suitcase in one hand, stepped onto a small wooden stool and boarded the waiting carriage. The coachman shook the reins, and soon the sound of wheels turning echoed, rolling over the slightly uneven cobblestone road. A procession of six carriages drove out of Burntstone City. Inside the carriage, Hylial, Komia, and Karen sat together, surrounded by a good deal of luggage. "Did the professor say where we're…
