On the Seven Towers

"What? You want us to leave our hometown and live with humans?" Sinclair's face was full of astonishment.

"Leave here and follow me. We still have a lot of vacant land there. Various resources and products are very rich. The surplus grain purchased from various places this year is also sufficient. In our territory, all of you can live a stable life. We will provide you with food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that you can easily spend the winter." Luo Ling said sincerely, "This place is destroyed like this. If you stay here for the winter, your fellow dwarves will suffer."

"This. Will you really treat us like Farrell said?"

"I can't guarantee that everyone can live in harmony with you. But most people's ideas are similar to ours. We all come from the same place. If you are worried, you can even send someone to take a look first."

At this time, there was a loud noise not far away, and the ground that was originally fine suddenly cracked into a big pit, and two dwarves who passed by screamed and fell down. Sinclair rushed over, but before he arrived, Chen Hansheng and Kalanda jumped down, and soon they jumped out holding the injured dwarf and sent the injured to Elena.

Sinclair stopped and glanced at the devastated village again, and said to Luo Ling who followed him: "No need, I think you have proved your attitude by what you have done here, and I believe this is true."

"However, I believe that there is no help without reason in this world. You must also value our strength and heritage. I believe that taking us away is of great value to you." He stretched out a finger and said: "I can't make decisions for everyone, but I give you a chance to convince them with your sincerity."

The next night, the salvageable property was almost salvaged, and the dwarves' emotions had calmed down. They were eating dinner around a pile of bonfires.

Sinclair stood on a high ground and said to the people in the village: "Everyone has become familiar with Ms. Luo Ling and her companions in the past few days. They have helped us a lot in the past few days. I want to thank them on behalf of the villagers!"

The dwarves applauded one after another, and some even shouted words of thanks. Ji Yijun, Chen Hansheng and others also ate among the dwarves. The dwarves around them all patted their shoulders, shook hands, and even hugged them.

Sinclair waited until the applause stopped and continued: "There are several more big pits in the ground these two days, and several houses have collapsed. The fire and smoke have not dissipated yet. The next days will be very difficult. Everyone has slept in shacks on the ground these two days, and even two children have been frozen sick."

There were sighs all around.

"In fact, Ms. Luo Ling gave me a proposal yesterday. She suggested that our entire village move to their territory to live. Such a major matter, I can't make the decision myself, I must seek everyone's opinions. Now I would like to ask Ms. Luo Ling to talk to everyone herself."

To the surprise of many people, no dwarf jumped out to object directly. Most people were whispering to each other or showing thoughtful expressions. Some half-grown children were happy. For them, it might be a very novel and exciting thing to walk out of this small valley.

Luo Ling walked up to the platform where Sinclair stood. She was still wearing the down jacket she wore when she came. The torches around her made her face red, giving people a warm and reassuring feeling.

"Your new village chief has already said my proposal. I don't want to mention the difficulties and dangers of living here anymore. I just want to say two things." She glanced at the dwarves who listened to her carefully, and a sense of confidence surged in her heart.

"The first thing is why I want to take you away. Sympathy for your plight is one aspect, of course, but more importantly, I value your talents. The dwarves have amazing talents in forging and manufacturing. Many of you will become excellent workers, and some of you will be able to invent new things and become excellent inventors and designers.

There is a word in my hometown called thirst for talents, and this word describes my attitude. We are different from the Black Dragon Empire and other people. In our place, everyone will get due respect, and everyone can freely choose the job they want to do."

There was a debate below, Luo Ling and others were discussing Slowly calming down, he continued, "The second thing is how I can guarantee everyone's interests. Here I will say four points, let's call them the four rules:

First, we will protect the property that everyone takes away from here, and we will not take a single needle or thread.

Second, as long as you work, you can have enough food, clothing, and a house to live in, and the more you work, the more you get.

Third, treat humans and dwarves fairly in all matters.

Fourth, if someone commits a crime, he will be punished by law.

If there is a problem in any link, you can come to me and I will make the decision for you."

The dwarves started talking again, and the people sitting next to Chen Hansheng surrounded them and asked questions, among which Farrell became the star among the crowd.

"This is fair. Those bastards in the Black Dragon Empire have never considered us." An old dwarf said.

"But will they force us to work late every day?" asked another dwarf.

"If I work late, I can get more food and drink, and I am willing. The Black Dragon Empire uses whips to make you work." The old dwarf said, "Don't you have to work every day in the village?"

"I don't know if these words are true or false."

"They saved my little Alan. I believe what they said. Let's go. I think it's really uninhabitable here." A dwarf woman said.

"Yes. I fell into a pit today and broke my head. Fortunately, Mr. Chen saved me and Miss Elf cured my wounds. They are really different from the humans and elves in the legend. I am willing to give it a try." A young dwarf said.

Luo Ling looked at the dwarves' excited, expectant, eager and confused expressions on the stage and smiled faintly.

————————————————————

A few days later, a long team of carts walked out of the mountain road. The dwarves looked back at their village, with different expressions on their faces.

Ola rode a horse and stood in front of Luo Ling and others.

"I'm leaving." She looked at Ji Yijun and said.

"Well, be careful." Ji Yijun said.

"Can you..." Ola looked at Ji Yijun's face expectantly, but the hope in her eyes turned into disappointment in his silence, "Goodbye!"

Watching her ride away, Chen Hansheng patted Ji Yijun on the shoulder and said, "You made the right choice. After all, you are not on the same path."

Ji Yijun looked at the long team of dwarves, sighed, stretched and said, "Let's go!"
