The workers on the dock shouted slogans, pulled the cables, towed the ship and fixed it to the anchor pillar in the port.
With a loud crash, the long deck was lowered from the ship and placed on the shore. Some cargo began to slide down from it, and was caught by the stevedores below, dragged onto their shoulders, and then headed towards the dock warehouse.
"Be careful with that cargo, it contains fragile items."
"Don't crush this, just stack it in three layers."
"Be careful, come one by one." Several Chamber of Commerce staff on the ship directed the workers and gave instructions on various matters.
Looking at the energetic and sweaty scene at the dock, Loran Hill couldn't help but think of his days in Hopeland, when he often heard such shouts and commands.
But it should be much better now. She remembered that when she returned to Hopeland, she saw cranes and a large number of trailers being used. With these, the workers could save a lot of effort.
However, the cargo throughput of Jackdaw Port is not large, and it is estimated that even if local managers know about the new technology, they are unlikely to adopt it.
Shaking her head, the girl moved forward again and began to search for ships arriving at the port. What she was looking for should be a passenger ship carrying passengers, not a cargo ship.
Finally, Loran Hill's eyes fixed on a black three-masted ship. This ship was relatively clean, and there were passengers getting off it sporadically.
Quickening his pace and spreading his perception, Loran Hill soon identified his target.
A girl in a dark purple dress with black trim stood under the street light, holding an exquisite doll and waiting quietly.
Although some people with bad intentions approached the girl and wanted to ask her various questions, she rejected them all.
"Luna, and Yixue, you are here." Loran Hill walked to a place not far from the street light and waved gently.
The moment she saw Loran Hill, surprise showed on the girl's face. Then, under the curious and surprised gazes of everyone, she left the bright lights and met a girl standing in the shadows.
Soon, the two figures disappeared into the night and no one could find them anymore.
"Oh, it's been a long time since I saw Sister Luolan." Luna talked about her worries and the various things that happened in the "Fairy Tree" recently.
"Many members of the committee are debating whether to ally with the Unicorn Duke in the East, or to fight the two major forces alone and advance the organization's territory throughout the empire."
"Don't get involved in such things for now. Just wait and see. The time is not ripe yet." Loran Hill had anticipated this answer. This was also the result of her discussion with Westena before leaving the forest.
After uniting the elves in the forest, the means of solving internal problems of the empire will be more abundant and easier, and the casualties will be greatly reduced.
"Okay, I understand. Also, I brought Teacher Yi Xue here as you requested." Luna said, holding up the exquisite silver-haired doll in her hand.
It was not until this time that Yi Xue moved. She easily broke away from Luna's hands and floated in the air.
Now, Iseglin is half a teacher to Luna, and he usually teaches her a lot of knowledge and experience about the Undead Sequence.
"Luna is not calm enough. She tells Roland about those things as soon as they meet." Yi Xue commented on her student, then slowly floated in front of Roland Hill. It looked like she wanted the girl to hug her.
Loran Hill blinked, opened his arms, hugged Yi Xue in his arms, and then gently touched her silver hair.
Although Yi Xue's current doll body was made by herself, it still feels novel to touch it now, perhaps because there is a soul inside.
"Let's go to our accommodation first. This trip will take quite some time. Luna can get to know the other elves first. They're actually pretty easy to get along with."
"Okay, Sister Loran~" Luna said as she followed Loran Hill in small steps and light leaps, walking towards the hotel. Along the way, the girl recounted what she saw and heard during the journey, and talked about the customs and people along the coast, revealing a sense of freshness and curiosity about the journey.
At night, after having a midnight dinner with Luna, Loran Hill slowly fell asleep, and Yi Xue sat at the head of her bed, motionless, until midnight, when she slightly floated up and looked at the situation of another elf girl, Xia Li, who was in the same room.
Is this the forest elves of today? Compared to what I remember, they are indeed less glorious.
Yi Xue looked at the sleeping Xia Li and felt sad in her heart.
As one of the three great elves along with the Ice Elves, the Forest Elves were also extremely glorious in the First Age. With golden hair and gorgeous emerald dresses, the kings of the Forest Elves were always so beautiful and graceful. Among the three tribes, the Forest Elves were also the most populous and powerful.
The forest elves, who are naturally close to nature and trees, flowers and plants, can be said to be the most beloved children of the world tree. Those mythical fairies also often interact with the forest elves, leaving behind various legends and stories. In comparison, the silver elves and ice elves are not treated so well.
Contrary to the stereotype people have today, there are also elves who are proficient in tools and metals, and these are the silver elves.
In the past, many elves' weapons and armor were made by silver elves. They were beautiful and tough in form, and had various enchanted effects, making them popular and sought after by all major races.
The Silver Elves also have an organized cavalry corps. Those silver-armored cavalrymen holding long dragon spears are good at dealing with the giants and have made many achievements in past wars.
Compared to the brave silver elves, the ice elves are much weaker. Most of them are mages and scholars, and not many are proficient in martial arts.
Yi Xuegreen compared his memory with the forest elf in front of him, a faint light appeared in his eyes, and then he let out a slight surprise.
Unexpectedly, there is an ice elf in this hotel.
She felt a familiar ripple of magic, which was the unique way for ice elves to practice the extraordinary sequence.
It seems that I have to ask Luo Lan about it tomorrow. This girl always goes to many places and meets many people without her knowing. I really don’t know how she does it.
Yi Xue slowly landed at the head of the bed, then sat down. The light on her body gradually dimmed, and she behaved like an ordinary doll, so ordinary people could not see anything unusual.
At night, a light snow fell outside the window, quietly landing on this small port town, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
