Chapter 159 Winter Passes and Spring Comes

Tixilan Mountains.

Two weeks had passed since Loran Hill's last visit to Rabbit Ear School. During this time, she had also sent a batch of [Golden Maple Sugar Blocks] to schools in other cities within the Rabbit Ear Tribe, striving to ensure that every student received one. This was extremely beneficial for them, not only providing nutritional supplements but also significantly improving their physical fitness, thus reducing obstacles to their future Transcendental Sequence cultivation.

Not only that, she also mailed some to the Clancy and Carites Chamber of Commerce, but due to the limited amount of materials and energy, she could only make so much. But she was still very happy to see that her handmade things were liked by everyone.

After a tour of inspection in the Tisilan Mountains, because the two magical beasts had performed very well over the years, the Lava Stone Turtle helped smelt metal, and the Vine Fairy mediated affairs between the Rabbit Ear Tribe and the magical beasts, Loran Hill gave them each an [Amber Fruit] as a reward, which made the two guys particularly happy.

The giant lava turtle was very excited. After eating the fruit, the flame stone pillar on its back began to turn translucent. It was expected that it would break through and advance to Sequence 6 in the future. You know, it has been stuck at Sequence 5 for nearly a hundred years.

The vine fairy circled around Loran Hill several times. She was only half the height of a person, with transparent butterfly wings behind her flashing fluorescent light. She laughed and expressed her happiness.

After that, as the weather got colder, Loran Hill gradually stopped going out and stayed at home to study alchemy and transform new crops.

---------------------

It was already deep winter outside the window, and a fire was burning inside the house. The soft firelight reflected on the wooden chairs and small table, and the heat from the fireplace warmed the entire room.

Loran Hill was wearing a black dress and sitting on a wooden chair by the fireplace. The soft dress was a little warm from the heat. There were piles of books on the small table, and Loran Hill was quietly writing something with a pen.

She had recently finished reading the book that Mrs. Filia had given her, and was now doing some summarization. That meant not reading the book, but recalling what she had learned, and then summarizing it. Then she reflected on what she was not familiar with and what she had missed.

This is also the method she learned in high school. In fact, there are many variations. For example, after learning, you can tell others what you have learned and answer other people's questions. In this way, the output forces the input, and you can quickly find out where you are not familiar with and where you are not thorough. When you explain to others, it will become clearer and clearer.

The pale pages, wrapped in a thick paper cover, had a delicate, white texture. The black magic water traced out clear curves and arcs on the paper. Compared to using the common language of this world, she was indeed more accustomed to the Chinese characters of her previous life.

Common language is somewhat similar to the Latin language family. A new word must be created for each new thing. Although it is accurate, it will become more and more lengthy and difficult to remember. However, each single Chinese character and word can be combined to form various words. The general meaning can be understood at a glance, which is extremely convenient for writing and memorizing.

For the same classic, the Chinese version is always thinner than the English version.

On winter nights, illuminated by dim candlelight, she lived a quiet life again. The sun rose and the moon set, and time passed day by day. Finally, one day, the snow outside the window began to melt, and tender green buds began to sprout among the trees.

Pushing open the door, the fresh morning breeze spread through the forest. Loran Hill walked out of the house and stepped on the stone slabs of the courtyard in front of the door. Some emerald green colors began to appear in his vision. Although there was still some chill in the air, spring had quietly arrived. The ice on the eaves began to melt, water kept dripping, and the figures of birds could be heard in the sky.

Loran Hill flew into the sky and circled for a while, then slowly floated down after relaxing for a while. The next step was to prepare to set off for Emenas.

The first thing she did was to take inventory of what she was taking with her, starting with money. Although she had been the eldest daughter of the Carites family for a while and had earned considerable wealth, most of it had been left in the Chamber of Commerce, where it was managed by someone else to support the city's orphanages and schools. She only took 100 gold coins with her before leaving. She hadn't wanted to take a single cent, as she wasn't Angus's real daughter. Besides, it wouldn't be difficult for her to make money from alchemy potions in the future, so it was definitely more than enough for her own use.

But he couldn't resist Chelsea's kindness, saying that she was the face of the Chamber of Commerce after all, and her life couldn't be too bad, because that would damage the Chamber of Commerce's image. It would make others think that the Carites Chamber of Commerce was bullying its benefactor.

After the Hopeland incident, Loran Hill summoned Ceres and Chelsea to read Angus's two suicide notes at an internal meeting, stating that she was not Angus's biological daughter. After helping Angus to avenge himself, Hopeland and Carites also became stable, and he also had his dream things to do, so he had to leave.

She still remembered the scene that day: everyone in the meeting room was initially shocked, then confused, and finally reluctant to leave. The events of this period were perhaps more numerous than those of the previous decade, and Roland Hill's presence was like a pillar in the turbulent waters, becoming everyone's backbone and support. Her departure would create a power vacuum within the Chamber of Commerce, for no one could ever again unite and win everyone's hearts and minds like she had.

Originally, Angus's 60% stake had no heir after his death, so it should have been returned to the Alliance Guild, with half distributed to the other Chamber of Commerce shareholders. However, the Alliance Guild was now led by Carites, and many of its members had directly or indirectly benefited from Roland Hill's influence during this change. Many were even former Chamber of Commerce members. Out of gratitude and the desire to retain Roland Hill, many advocated donating these shares to Roland Hill as a reward for his contributions to the incident.
