The young dwarf asked, "What does the elder intend to do for the king?"
The fifth elder of the dwarves snorted and glared, saying, "Of course we have to scold him! Remember the old King Mouton, who always thought of our tribe? Unlike that new kid Cooper, who only favors the king's family..."
Within a group, exodus is often caused by bias. Conversely, if everyone suffers together, fewer people will leave.
...
Ron left the blacksmith shop and looked at the other dwarf shops. They all looked pretty much the same. He decided to stop looking and figured he'd just wait for the new wine to tempt them, and they'd naturally become master blacksmiths.
After strolling around for a while, Ron took Vivian back to her family's new home.
Both are two-story houses, but the indigenous people's two-story houses are much more exquisite and beautiful, and their locations are also better.
"Vivian, you can go in. Now that I'm the lord, it's not appropriate for me to enter your house."
Thinking about having to bow deeply to yet another group of people, I decided to wait outside for a while.
Vivian finally got in, and unlike when she was a child, she nods to her family like a chick; now, Vivian's family is the one nodding in agreement with her. ＿（￣ー￣（＿
You said the lord didn't care, but now, you want this? My thought is...
Through the changing exchanges, Vivian has unknowingly turned sixteen!
After a while, Vivian came out laughing.
"Young Master, Vivian is back."
"Well, our last stop is the academy in the city."
"..."
Vivian followed behind Ron, and the two young people walked to the Sandy City Magic and Martial Arts Academy.
The time I arrived was exactly when school was letting out.
In different rural areas, due to their proximity, fewer people pick up children here now. However, if the child is too young, such as six or seven years old, someone will still pick them up. Different ethnic groups gather here.
The human patriarch and the sub-species family members communicated simply, like ordinary citizens.
Ron inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment from this casual act, a sense of harmony among multiple races…
(～￣▽￣)～
"Old Trump, your kid seems to have some talent!"
"So what? We're still being suppressed by your wolf warriors!"
"The children didn't know their own strength in that fight last time..."
"No, it's nothing. It was just a sparring session within the academy. Because of your kid, my little rascal has also started to work harder!"
"..."
Ron had amazing hearing; he could hear all the sounds coming from outside the academy, while inside, children of all races came out together.
The two men dressed as magicians waited until the crowd had mostly dispersed before Ron and Vivian entered the academy.
You can go into the academy after school.
The school in Sandy Lane is not very strict in its admissions process, and curious parents have already visited it. Now that the start of the school year has been several days, there are far fewer parents bringing their children to visit.
The two entered the classroom and walked between the church desks. Ron suddenly had a thought. He bent down and grabbed a handful of sand from the sand tray.
A soft rustling sound, the smooth feel of fine sand between my fingers.
With a touch, Ron sensed that the sand had been magically processed, a special kind of magic that made the sand tray easier to write on. Ron also knew that after the invention of papermaking, the sand tray might need to be replaced.
Ron, now intrigued, sat down in front of the sand table, wanting to experience what it's like to be a student.
He picked up a beautifully trimmed wooden branch and wrote two ancient characters, "Ron," on the sand table. These were the words of a different world, and only he could understand them.
Vivian asked from the side, "Young Master, what character is this?"
"My former hometown!" ( ′??)?(._.`)
Ron stood up, and to avoid Vivian asking any more questions, he said, "Let's go look at other places."
"Yes, young master."
Leaving the classroom and walking through the city's magic and martial arts academies, I still felt that they couldn't compare to Toby's Magic and Martial Arts Academy. Moreover, in order to treat everyone equally, they still used sand table teaching instead of the cardboard that Ron used when he went to school.
The biggest advantage of the city academy over the rural magic and martial arts academy is that it has an unfinished library.
Every book in this era has its own value, especially the original versions of various magic books.
Faced with the five-story library, Ron decided not to go inside, so as not to disturb the students who were studying on their own back then, just like he had.
Learning is inherently two different things: self-study and being taught...
As the sun set, Ron and Vivian silently left the Sandy City Magic and Martial Arts Academy.
People knew that two foreign magicians had come, but it didn't cause much of a stir. Somewhat surprisingly, the teacher noticed the two different names for Ron and wrote them down.
The next day, the junior student wiped away the sand with a displeased look on his face. Who had been moving around in his seat!
Fortunately, the wooden branches that were left there were still there.
The small wooden twigs are not worth much money and are rather large, so they are generally not taken back. However, the items needed for school are now being sold by many small vendors on the street.
Development driven by demand.
That very night, Ron returned to the lord's manor, where the assembled dwarf masters were discussing whether they could invent a magic crystal vehicle to transport children to and from school.
In the past, a few wealthy people had enough various kinds of beast-drawn vehicles, and there were enough low-level beast tamers. But now, with free education for everyone, there are not enough beast tamers and magical pets.
In the early days of the commercial kingdom, after the business prospered, people realized that there were not enough beast tamers and magical pets.
Both Sandi Territory and the Commercial Kingdom have their eyes on the Magic Crystal Car.
Ron sat in the main seat, listening to the words of the master blacksmiths:
"To perfect the ancient magic runes of the magic crystal chariot, we may need to draw upon the wisdom of the elves!"
"Yes! When the elves first created magic, and the human race first created swordsmen and other warriors, they had to learn all sorts of profound magical runes from the elves."
"..."
"Then shall we not study it? I don't want my little dwarf to walk such a long way every day!"
"Alright, alright, we need to discuss this with the lord."
Before Stilwell, the fifth elder of the eighth tribe of dwarves, could even reveal the lord's possible intentions for the gathering, they were already discussing researching the magic crystal vehicle.
Similar inventions to the magic crystal cannon existed in ancient times, but they were mostly found in ruins.
The ancient goblin crystal civilization seemed to have been interrupted, but now it is the beginning of a new magical civilization.
"My lord!"
"The lord has arrived."
"..."
Ron looked down and saw a group of dwarven elders bowing. The dwarven kingdom had ten tribes, while the seven dwarven elders in front of him were from the eighth tribe.
Like Nicole, the fox spirit who arrived later, dwarves from her tribe also came. If they hadn't been in such a hurry, Nicole could have brought even more subspecies of people.
Talent will naturally come when territory develops.
Ron stopped talking about business and said, "Why don't you explain things to me, new master?"
“Yes, my lord. This is Anderson, the seventh elder of my tribe, the youngest elder. When we signed the magic contract with you, my lord, he was still in the Kingdom of Cole, in the North…”
"Elder, you've come from afar, thank you for your hard work. Has the person in charge of the construction department made any arrangements for the construction of the house?"
"Yes, my lord, the construction of the new ring road is underway."
"..."
Is there another new ring road?
The suburbs are rapidly transforming into new towns due to the allure of education.
No matter how many rings a new city has, only professionals will help Ron build it. Ron said, "I'll have someone bring me the blueprints when the time comes."
"The construction drawings will be brought later."
"Oh, and about the magic crystal carts you discussed earlier, I'd like to set up a special magic crystal fund to provide you with maximum support. As for the elven rune science, I'll figure out a way," Ron said.
