It was already late when I came back from the market in the small town. There were fewer pedestrians on the streets. The wooden houses in the town were lit up with orange lights, dotted in this peaceful forest.

Arriving at the Ringtree Inn where they were staying, Loran Hill and Charlie had a dinner of oranges and smoked fish, then returned to their room to rest.

This is the third floor of the hotel. The entire hotel is built around a big tree. There are about 20 rooms scattered on each floor, which shows how thick the tree is.

The furnishings in the room are simple and warm, mostly made of locally made wooden furniture. There is a glowing potted plant on the table as a light source. If you want to sleep at night, you can cover it with a cover, which is equivalent to turning off the lights.

Sitting at the small table, Loran Hill looked carefully at the glowing little tree, and it took him a while to satisfy his curiosity.

[Fluorescent White Line Chrysanthemum] (Black Iron Grade): It can transform the absorbed mana into a small, shiny shrub. It has been improved and currently has some insect repellent effects.

In the past, some plants would emit faint light at night to attract insects for pollination. Later, the forest elves improved these plants for many generations, and now we have the brightly lit potted plants. Not only do they no longer attract insects, but they also emit a faint fragrance that repels mosquitoes, and are deeply loved by the elves.

The rise of humans is far less than the time that the elves have ruled the continent. During this long period of time, the elves have also accumulated a lot of technology and abilities that are difficult for humans to master.

After observing the potted plants on the table, Loran Hill pushed open the small door to the balcony and stood by the wooden railing to look at the town at night.

The small river meanders through the town like a stream, reflecting the lights of the houses. The clear chirping of various insects can be heard from the corners of the forest grass, making the night no longer lonely, but instead lively and quiet in another sense.

Looking into the distance, behind the night covered by big trees, the outline of a large dome building is vaguely visible, and its shape is revealed among the thick trees.

That must be the school that Xia Li mentioned during the day.

'A caged paradise entwined with vines', this is the school that Xia Li graduated from. The most famous thing in the entire school is the hollow building that looks like a birdcage.

An ancient stone birdcage, with green vines entwined inside, leans slightly against the mountain wall, in the shade of the trees.

Whenever classes were being taught, the knowledgeable elf elders would stand in the circular square in the middle of the birdcage, while the young elves who were students would land on the vines wrapped around the birdcage like butterflies.

These vines are not as thin as they appear from a distance. Their thick structures, wrapped around the stone birdcage, have been cared for by generations of students and teachers, forming small platforms where students can stand or sit and listen to lectures.

Thinking of Charlie and the school scene she described, Loran Hill thought that before leaving tomorrow, he must go to the "birdcage" to satisfy his curiosity.

At night, covered with a comfortable white quilt, Loran Hill fell into a peaceful sleep.

the next day.

"Good morning~"

Early in the morning, Loran Hill was awakened by Charlie's crisp knock on the door. While rubbing her eyes, the girl climbed out of the bed reluctantly and opened the door for Charlie in her slippers.

Recently, Loran Hill has developed the habit of sleeping in the morning, and he is a little uncomfortable with the sudden change.

"Let's go have some breakfast, Jialan." After urging Loran Hill to quickly comb her hair and change her clothes, Charlie couldn't wait to take this new friend out to eat.

"Okay, wait a moment."

Loran Hill responded somewhat helplessly, then reached his hand into the basin of cool water, sprinkled the water droplets on his face to wash it, making himself a little more awake, and then went downstairs with Charlie.

The hair on his forehead and on both sides was still a little wet, and walking in the morning breeze brought some coolness. Loran Hill stood on the cobblestone street of the town, looking at the place where the sun rose in the distance.

The orange-gold sun rises in the east, its shape cut by the tall trees. The sunlight shines in the forest, forming distinct light and dark tracks. Tiny water mist floats and moves in the morning light, and then slowly evaporates.

"It's beautiful, isn't it? Only diligent people can see the beauty of the morning." After checking out at the hotel, Charlie came to Loran Hill.

"My old teacher told us that the morning sun is even more beautiful than the setting sun. It holds a vitality and hope that the setting sun lacks. You can see the snow-white clouds in the sky, illuminated by the sunlight below into a rare golden hue, flowing beneath the clear blue sky."

"Indeed."

Loran Hill nodded in agreement. She had seen the golden clouds in the early morning when she was in elementary school. In junior high and high school, she either got up too late or too early and went to school before dawn, so this scenery could only remain in her childhood memories.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat something good."

Then, Charlie pulled Loran Hill towards the other side of the stream. They crossed the small bridge and the street, turned around one big tree after another, and finally stopped in front of a stone cottage under a big tree.

This seems to be a place where cakes and bread are made. It is shaped like a thick and short mushroom, and bursts of sweet aroma come from the stone chimney at the back.

When I arrived here, there were already quite a few elf students queuing here. Fortunately, the line was not long, so I just had to wait a little while and I could get my turn.

Loranhill watched the elf students holding a school bag in one hand and a lotus leaf-wrapped pastry in the other, eating while walking towards the academy.

When Loran Hill arrived in front of the store, she looked at the warm and colorful decoration inside.
