In the evening, a wooden "flying bird" landed in the river bend, and as the plane glided over the grass, it slowly came to a stop with bumps.
"We're here. This is where we're going to rest tonight." Charlie jumped off the white 'bird' and pointed to a small town not far away.
Although it is called a small town, the scene before us is very different from that of a human city.
The winding river flows through the shallows, passing through the huge tree roots surrounding it, and the colorful pebbles under the water can be clearly seen.
These thick tree roots serve as small bridges or walkways, and wooden houses of various sizes are scattered among them. They have different shapes and are staggered. You can see the forest elves living in them coming in and out, and occasionally you can hear the voices of conversations in the market.
The water gurgled, and the orange-red flowers hanging in the shade of the trees emitted a faint glow, like a hazy night light, illuminating the small town below. Some owls with fiery red feathers squatted on the branches. From time to time, they flew down and hid in some wooden houses. Then, a faint sound of cooking was heard.
After placing the "Flying Bird" in a large tree hole warehouse next to the town, Charlie took Loran Hill into the town.
"Although this small town in Tenglonghewan is not big, the school there is quite famous. Many forest elves graduated from here."
"So there are more young elves in this town, and we can also come into contact with many elves from other places here."
As she spoke, Charlie pulled Loran Hill into a busy alley. The place was decorated with lights and colorful banners, with branches of varying heights inserted in them. A glowing mushroom was placed on the branch, illuminating the surrounding environment.
"Cuifeng steamed quinces, honey-boiled pears, moon sweet candy, come and try any of them if you like."
"Solve the fourth-year pharmacy extraction branch problem. The solver will receive a gold coin."
"Used book sales, 'Sylph Enchanting Crafts' (third edition), 'Insights on Double Moon Cultivation', 'The Ghost of Reflection in the Water', 'Concept of a Celestial Battleship'..."
After entering the market street full of students, a bustling scene appeared before Loran Hill's eyes.
She originally thought that forest elves lived in seclusion, and this was the first time she saw such a lively scene.
The streets were full of elves with pointy ears. Most of them had blonde hair, and a few had snow-white hair. They wore comfortable, loose-fitting long-sleeved clothes. Judging from their appearance, many of them were wearing school uniforms from nearby schools.
Some of these elves squatted in front of the stalls and bargained carefully, some argued with others about academic and book issues, and others talked about the latest theater performances and the beauty and voice of the singer.
"This place still looks the same as it did in the past~" Charlie sighed as she took Loran Hill for a few steps.
"How long did Charlie go to school here?" Loran Hill asked curiously.
"About 7 years. Later I went to the Emerald Court for further studies for a while before I officially left campus." Xia Li talked about the past.
"But there's one thing I want to tell Jialan: we don't have to go to school consecutively. In other words, you can go to school for one year, take a break for a year, and then come back. As long as there's at least three years between the two, it's fine."
"Because everyone has many hobbies, sometimes you get so caught up in them that you don't want to study anymore. Going out for a walk and then coming back to study again will give you new insights, and your efficiency might be higher."
"It sounds great, but we humans can't use this method." Jialan estimated that the average person's youth lasts less than ten years, and most of that time is taken up by studying. If it is delayed any further, they will probably reach middle age or old age.
I really envy the elves' longevity; it gives them ample time to do whatever they want. No wonder the records of the Sun of the Wings of God call the elves the last and most perfect race created by humans.
"Oh, sorry, I accidentally said something offensive. But Jialan, you don't have to worry about this. I heard that human transcendents can also live quite long, probably about the same as elves?"
"It is indeed a little longer, but not as long as an elf's." Loran Hill shook his head, his hair swaying with his face, and then his bright eyes looked at the stalls beside him, attracted by the novel things on them.
Some of the elves painted exquisite pictures, their style was like the stained glass in the church, but it was brighter and more delicate, with a gentle and beautiful feeling. There were also dresses made by themselves, which were made of a soft white cloth with light green lace and lace, which were form-fitting and light. In addition, there were exquisite models in huge glass bottles, depicting airships and cities floating in the sky, which seemed to be an imagination of the twilight age.
These beautiful and carefully crafted things made Loran Hill feel itchy and had the urge to buy them. Looking at her cute hesitant look, Charlie couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, actually I was the same. When I first came to school, I spent a lot of my living expenses on buying these things." Charlie blinked and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
"Although I felt a little sad, I didn't regret it later. However, I gradually found ways to increase my income in the third grade, and then things gradually got better. Life is no longer as tight as before."
"Then how did Charlie make money at that time?" Loran Hill turned his head, full of curiosity.
"Well, I teamed up with some classmates at the time. We went to kill those monsters that the Empire had put a bounty on. We earned a lot of money, and later we sold most of the monster materials, which brought us quite a bit of income."
"But gradually, such activities became less frequent."
