If one calmed down and went to Qinghe Village, which was covered in silver, to capture the childish laughter and then find the children playing in the forest, it was not difficult.
If the adults in the village didn't prepare lunch but stayed with their children, it was not difficult for them to notice that the naughty boy and the little cutie who usually led the group of children were not there.
The two children of the Laklais family were lying at the table and seriously discussing the " marching route " with their adults.
" I suggest we don't stay in China." Recalling the painful lesson in his early years, Carl was still worried." It's really a little late... It's hard to book a flight."”
"Drive!" Linda boldly suggested. After all, the feeling of riding in a car was freedom." It's great to drive and find a place to play!”
" In order to maintain smooth roads, residents are required to submit an application for use five days in advance to their respective transportation centers." After reading out the words, Seale winked at Linda." It was just mentioned in the news yesterday, sister.”
" Yes." Thinking of this, Alina sighed." There were some mistakes this year. I didn't expect so many people to travel before the New Year.”
" Why don't we go abroad?" Alyssa picked up the winter dates from the fruit platter and fed them to the children one by one." The exit review is very fast."”
" Not necessarily." Karl shook his head." It depends on where we go."”
"Celan, and the few countries in Pingzhou that are close to the sea, we can basically go there whenever we want.”
"Gwelland is about the same. However, the federal review was very troublesome and a waste of time.”
" As for the Central Continent and Di Continent..." Karl thought for a moment." Those two places are not very... peaceful?" You can also say that there's nothing to play with."
"Di Zhou? Where is Di Zhou?" Linda was a little confused.
" Above." Sai Er reached out and took five winter dates from the fruit plate. He placed them in a echelon shape on the wooden coffee table." This is us. Above us is Di Zhou, and on our left is Ping Zhou."”
" To the left." Seer pointed at two winter dates with his index finger from top to bottom." Upper Continent, Middle Continent.”
" Linda, read more books. Don't keep thinking about playing." Alina was truly speechless." This bit of common sense-"
" I know." Linda was impatient again and argued with her mother." I didn't remember just now."”
"I'll send you to the academy this year." Alina coldly looked at her daughter. This child was getting more and more mischievous.
" Let's not talk about that for now." Seeing that something was wrong, Eliza quickly tried to smooth things over." Are we really going out to play for the next ten days?”
" It's not bad to go out and play." Karl patted his daughter's head." At least the elves in Pingzhou don't celebrate New Year's Eve. They're not on holiday yet."”
"Huh? Don't they rest on New Year's Eve?" Linda was very curious. It should be known that in the Republic, regardless of the race, New Year was regarded as the most important festival.
" Yes, but they have their own festivals," Karl explained to his daughter with a gentle smile." Or rather, a festival."”
" The Eternal Prosperity Ceremony is held on the day of the unification of the empire to commemorate the emperor." Karl still remembered the trip to Serene." We used to have this custom, but it was abolished.”
"What? Wouldn't that mean you'll lose a period of vacation?" Linda hugged the pillow and flopped on the sofa angrily.
"Sister, aren't you on vacation every day?" Sail scratched his head in confusion.
Linda, who was about to retort, was suddenly stunned. His younger brother was right…It seemed like that was the case.
" Uh... let's get down to business first." After chuckling to cover his daughter's embarrassment, Carl tried to get back to the main topic." If you really want to go out and play, Celan is not bad."”
Hearing her husband's words, Alina greeted everyone and left the living room. She went up to the second floor and went into the study. After rummaging through it for a while, she returned to the living room sofa with a travel guide.
" Here, take a look." Alina handed the book to her husband, intending to let him give her some advice." Where is the best place to go?"”
" I don't need it." Carl took the travel guide but didn't flip through it. He just smiled and closed his eyes. Under the puzzled gazes of his family, he searched for the spells he had recorded." I can project…"
After adjusting the casting position, Carl activated the magic spell selected in the magic net casting list. In an instant, the magic net interface that should only exist in his mind was constructed into reality by various colors of light and shadow, and the world map was completely displayed above the coffee table.
"Wow? What is this?" Linda jumped up from the sofa and touched the magic net interface that was floating in the air. However, the moment she touched the 3D image, her entire hand went straight through it.
" My magic net projection." Karl smiled and waved his hand, gesturing for his daughter to sit back on the sofa." It's just an illusory projection. You can't touch it.”
"Heh…this is…the Foreign Affairs Department's Overseas Travel Center?”Seeing the familiar interface format, Alina looked at her husband with satisfaction." This is much more convenient.”
" What an interesting spell…" Thinking back to her days in the academy, Alyssa snapped her fingers." Yes, there's a teacher who often uses it.”
" Uncle," Saier, who had his eyes wide open, was particularly excited. He jumped up like his sister." This? How?"
" It's actually not difficult." Karl chose Serene's travel map and adjusted the size and position of the projection." It's just that I don't usually use it."”
" About the fifth year, you…" Carl's voice stopped abruptly. He remembered that his nephew could not use magic at all.
Seer was dejected when he realized what had happened. However, under Eliza's comfort, Sail quickly calmed down and obediently sat back down beside his mother.
" Well... it's nothing," Karl comforted softly." It's just a projection of the magic net in my memory... It's not very practical.”
"Let's see where we're going." Alina reminded her husband to change the subject.
" In fact, there are elves there too," Karl said, pointing to a city in the center of the map." But their customs and culture are completely different from ours.”
"Morning Star is the most convenient. The scenery there is beautiful and the transportation is good. You can leave anytime and go somewhere else.”
"Morning Star?" Saier muttered," What a beautiful name…It sounds…familiar?”
Familiar? No, no, no, it should be called deja vu.
" Haha," Karl also missed the beautiful scenery there." Stella... means stars. It's a city built by towering ancient trees. When the moon rose, no matter where you were, you could enjoy the most beautiful starlight in the night sky.”
" The City of Miracles." Hearing her husband mention that place, Alina also thought of something. She turned to look at her sister." When we were young, our parents often mentioned it. Do you still remember?”
" Hmm…" Thinking of her parents 'gentle descriptions when she was young, Eliza also had an impression." Nine miracles…"
"What miracle?" Saier, who had never heard of this before, was curious.
" The nine cities created by Emperor…True Martial." Eliza, who had just graduated, remembered them quite clearly." During the Empire, they were the central cities of the various continents.”
" There's one that you must know." Karl raised his index finger and shook it, then closed his eyes and smiled at his nephew." Chang 'an."”
"Chang 'an? Chang 'an is also…a city of miracles?" Hearing the word Chang 'an, Seer felt a sense of familiarity in his heart…He became more and more interested…
" You'll know in a few years." Alina gave her nephew a rare doting smile." The books will talk about that.”
" Because the nine cities of miracles were not built by mortals," Karl added after his wife finished her sentence." They were created by the emperor.”
"To this day, they are still buildings beyond human reach, so we call them miracles.”
" Then..." Sail was about to speak, but he was interrupted by his sister.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go there!" Linda couldn't wait to stand up on the sofa, rubbing her fists and getting ready to set off.
"Alright, I'll go contact them now." After getting the approval of the whole family, Carl connected to the overseas tourist center through the magic net.
……
At noon the next day, the family packed up and took the bus to the airport.
"The sun is quite bright today.”Feeling the warm sunlight through the glass, Alina lazily leaned against the window.
" Well, it's fun anyway," Linda shouted happily to her mother." Morning stars are all trees. It's definitely more fun than the city."
"Are you going to Serene?" A strange voice came from the back row. Linda turned around and saw a strange human uncle talking to her.
" Yes, uncle," Linda, who was familiar with him, immediately made a face." Our family is going there to play."”
" The scenery there is good," the man with gray hair replied with a smile." It's nice to go there before the New Year."”
"You've been there too?" Carl also turned around and asked the middle-aged man in the back row," The scenery of Morning Star is indeed unforgettable.”
" I can't forget, I can't forget." The middle-aged man's hearty laughter attracted a lot of attention in the car." I went there once ten years ago. The night view was so beautiful that I took a lot of photos to remember it."”
" Yes, the night view of Stella is indeed beautiful," a Gold Elf sitting on the right said." But now, there aren't many residents left there.”
"Hmm? Is that true?" Carl blinked. He didn't quite believe it. One had to know that the prosperity of Morning Stars was world-renowned.
" I returned from there a month ago." A hint of desolation flashed in the Golden Elf's eyes." It can't be compared to the past. The current it is no longer prosperous.”
" The scenery is still the same, but everything else is different." The Gold Elf looked at Karl, who was on the other side of the carriage." What's the saying? Things remain the same, but people have changed? It's just a sprite."
" That's all the more reason for us to go and take a look." Karl was interested in Morning Star again when he heard the changes." Let's go and see what that place has become."”
" A simple trip." The Gold Elf smiled, which was rare." It's definitely good. Don't worry about it."”
"I'm just reminiscing about the past. Please forgive me.”
……
" Air and magic are prohibited when you're on a passenger plane. Of course, you can't use the power of Origin either," Eliza said with a serious expression. She instructed her son seriously," Remember, don't destroy anything in the cabin.”
" Otherwise, you'll be blacklisted." Eliza rubbed her son's cheek and emphasized again." Got it?"”
"Yes, yes." Sail nodded obediently.
" Aiya, don't say anymore. What's there to worry about, Seer?" Alina, who had already started lining up, looked helplessly at her younger sister." We're about to board the plane. Hurry up and come over. Don't forget your luggage."”
Eliza hurriedly pulled her son and luggage and ran to her sister's side. She waited in line to check her identity.
It was a seven-to-eight-hour flight. Seale thought to himself that he should have a good sleep.
They found their seats according to the instructions and sat down in a row, ready to start the journey.
Accompanied by the warm reminder of the flight attendants, the passengers felt the sense of weightlessness as they climbed. They were carried by the huge aircraft and soared into the sky together.
……
After a seven-hour flight, Saer and the others successfully crossed several time zones and arrived at Serene's capital, Morning Star.
It was still afternoon, and the sun was still in the sky. The entire Serene was clear and vast, without a trace of cold air.
" Uh…" Alina narrowed her eyes and looked at the giant trees in the distance." So we have to…rent a car?”
" Yes, we use paper money here." Karl took out a credit certificate from his pocket." Just like taking a bus, there will be a driver."”
Taking the ink-blue paper from her husband's hand, Alina examined the exquisite design printed on the credit note before handing it over to her curious daughter and nephew.
"A hundred?" Instead of admiring the front of the map, Linda was surprised by the number on the paper." This piece of paper is equivalent to a hundred credit points?”
" No." Carl shook his head and took the credit card back from his daughter." It's only…eleven? Twelve?"
" Uncle," the dark blue paper confused Seale." How can a piece of paper... represent the... value of labor?"”
"…This question is a bit complicated." Although Karl knew the reason, he could not explain it in detail." You can just…treat it as a physical credit. Well…that's about it."
" This... the middle school will teach you." Alyssa chuckled and reached out to pat her son's little head." You'll learn when you grow up."”
" Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go…rent a car." While her husband and the others were chatting, Alina looked around the airport and found the signboard for boarding." There, right?"”
" Yes, that's right." Following his wife's gesture, Carl also saw the airport boarding area. He pulled his suitcase and walked over." Let's hurry over."”
Alina pulled back her anxious husband.""Contact a hotel first. We don't want to sleep on the streets.”
Laughter spread among the family. Soon, they got into a taxi from the airport and drove towards Morning Star.
