Chapter 30 Changes in the Forest

After teaching the first batch of students, Loran Hill could no longer hold on. She became more and more exhausted. After arranging the affairs of the Tixilan Mountains and future plans, she returned to the Maple Leaf Courtyard and fell into a deep sleep.

Winter has passed and spring has come. It is a new year again. The ice and snow have begun to melt. The number of birds in the forest has increased, and some animals have begun to crawl out of their caves and move around.

Snake-Slaying Town, which is the village where the girl killed the giant snake before, has now become a small town. The earliest school of the Rabbit-Eared Tribe was opened here, and the market of the Tisilan Mountains is also here.

Many rabbits come here to trade things, and occasionally a few monsters come here to exchange their hunted prey for some favorite fruits and other things.

The intelligence of Warcraft is not high at low sequences, so the vine fairy usually acts as a middleman to prevent both parties from being cheated and to maintain the corresponding order.

Her residence also became a group of colorful mushroom houses outside the village, where she and her friends, some low-level fairies, lived.

At this time, the former village chief, now the town mayor, was meeting with several other managers of the Rabbit Ears gathering places in the meeting hall to discuss arrangements for the new year.

"That's all we have to do this year. Our main focus will continue to be on developing farmland and promoting education, striving for another bountiful harvest. Do you have any other questions?"

"No, now almost every village can have enough food. Although there is still a shortage of clothes, it is not a big problem. Once the flax is harvested this year, there will be enough."

Several managers from other villages were communicating with each other below. They all said that their life is much better now than before, and their faces are full of anticipation for the new year.

"Well, I declare this meeting closed. Finally, please stand."

"Thank you, His Highness Loran Hill." Everyone stood up and saluted together before dispersing in twos and threes.

A young man walked in. He was strong, but his legs were a little inconvenient.

"Father."

"You're here, Kanda." The old rabbit looked at the black-eared young man in front of him.

"How's your leg recovering?"

"Thanks to the potion, Your Highness. I can now barely walk."

"Well, take good care of your injuries. Also, take this opportunity to read more books. You need to use your brain more in the future."

"Okay." The young man felt a little ashamed. His previous behavior was a bit impulsive.

"Has His Highness Loran Hill not come this year?"

"Yes, Her Highness said last year that she would fall into a deep sleep for some reason and told us not to worry, as she would only be back after a while."

"But now more than half a year has passed."

"I don't know the reason, but Kanda, even if His Highness is not here, we have to handle everything ourselves."

"It's not okay to rely solely on His Highness. We have to find ways and solve problems on our own. Only then can we become truly strong." The old village chief asked his son to sit next to him. At this time, there were only two of them left in the hall.

"With Her Highness Loran Hill's talent and strength, she won't stay in this remote forest forever. We must become stronger faster so that we can keep up with her."

"I know it's hard, but I'm telling you, it has to be done."

"When I was young, I traveled to many places and heard many stories. Some great figures can consider you a friend or partner when you are insignificant. But as the great figures grow rapidly, they will become more and more powerful, and will also face more and stronger opponents."

"If we don't grow up, we'll become a burden to adults and gradually be marginalized. This isn't because others are heartless, but reality is no joke. No one can afford the cost of mistakes and failure. If you're weak, you need to be self-aware and avoid key positions and tasks."

"I don't want the Rabbit-Eared Tribe to return to their old ways, serving as servants, followers, assistants, and so on. I hope that my compatriots and future generations can take on more important responsibilities in the future."

"I want the shame of our clan to be washed away and for us to live with more dignity."

"Do you understand, my child?"

"I understand, Father."

"Okay, after your injury heals, I will let you continue to practice the Transcendent Sequence. At the same time, there will also be a large number of young rabbits following you to lay the foundation."

"You must set a good example and train a group of determined warriors."

Thus began the new year, and schools began to be built in various villages. The little rabbits were sent to learn to read and write, and to receive the formation of their values. At the same time, since the first batch of teachers were all students of Loran Hill, their respect and admiration for them were unconsciously spread to the younger generation.

This led to a tacit understanding among teachers that each student would have a small notebook, with the first ten pages always left blank to record some of the things Loran Hill had said.

If the silver-haired girl saw this, she would probably be so ashamed that she would find a black hole to hide in. It was just like the dark history of my second-year speech, which was discovered many years later and read out in public.

But unfortunately, Loran Hill still did not appear in the new year and was still sleeping in the cottage in the maple forest.

Spring goes and autumn comes, the sun rises and sets, and three years have passed in the Tixilan Mountains in a positive atmosphere.

In recent years, the rabbits have been unable to finish their stored food, and some of it has even begun to mold. To avoid waste, they have started raising livestock, using the surplus food to raise chickens, sheep, and cattle. Or they give the surplus food to the monsters in the mountains, asking them to work, to chisel rocks and search for mineral veins.

Following the metal smelting method left by Loran Hill, they began to build a blast furnace to smelt iron, but later found that it would be worse to directly hire the Dragon Sequence 5 Lava Turtle.

It lives in a dormant volcano in the mountains. The dormant magma in the volcano slowly flows out under the guidance of the lava turtle, forming a natural high-temperature furnace. So the rabbits moved the metallurgical site to this area to take advantage of the abundant geothermal energy.

At the same time, it also saves a lot of coal consumption, there will be no heavy smoke in the mountains, and pollution is much less.

With the help of the Lava Turtle, a creature that often bathes in magma, metallurgy has become much easier. Not only is it not afraid of high temperatures, it is also sensitive to mineral veins and can sometimes spray a stream of fire thousands of degrees to melt ore. With the help of this stone turtle, the rabbits' metallurgy speed has increased significantly.

Soon after, some iron farm tools, tin tableware, etc. began to appear in various towns, and the excellent warriors of the Rabbit Ear Tribe were also equipped with fine steel spears, and their combat effectiveness was significantly improved.

Due to the abundance of food, there have been so many newborns in recent years that every small town has established an orphanage next to the school to take care of the young people.

Many monsters in the mountains also benefited indirectly from this, and their numbers increased a lot compared to before. The entire forest was immersed in a constantly improving situation.
