On the Seven Towers

Luo Ling received a letter. The letter was brought back by Xiao Chen through the caravan that just started traveling between the capital and Black Mountain last week, and was just handed to her by a member of the caravan.

Luo Ling closed the door and opened the letter directly at the door.

"Dear leader? Tsk, should I reply to Comrade Xiao Xiao, how is the letter?" Luo Ling muttered.

She continued to read:

... If Suero is a messy city of gold coins, then the capital is a city of power that is ten or even a hundred times more complicated. Walking between the major forces in such a city, I really feel a little overwhelmed from time to time. Whether it is the Temple of Nature, the Mage, the King, or the Nobles, they cannot be divided into simple camps. Their respective interests and demands are also different from what we originally guessed. But this also gives us a good opportunity to find a place to find a loophole. At the beginning, we encountered some difficulties, but the situation has stabilized a lot now, but I still hope that the school can give us enough support. We are really short of manpower to maintain so many aspects of business.

Your old acquaintance, Priest Roland, has reached a tacit understanding with us to some extent. As long as we are careful, we can avoid many problems through him. Priest Roland is a very special person. I think he is actually very open-minded, and he doesn't even look like a temple priest. He has mentioned you to me several times, hoping to have a chance to catch up with you.

…

The winter here is different from that on Earth. It almost ends at the end of December. There is a major festival from January 1st to January 7th, just like our Chinese New Year. They call January 1st the Qingxin Festival, and the next few days are spring vacation. According to the information I have obtained, the king may summon us after the holiday and confer us land. I think you should come here. The more wizards we can show off, the more land we may be granted.

I have set up a reading club in the capital, and now it has attracted nearly 20 members, mainly low-level and mid-level wizards. I think I can arrange for them to visit the school next year. I believe that I can always persuade a few of them to stay as teachers for our magic school. They were amazed at some of the new methods of magic research we proposed. If you were here and explained it to them in person, they would definitely be more convinced.

…

I wonder how you are doing and how is your cultivation progress? I feel that I am getting closer and closer to the bottleneck of distraction, but I have a feeling that the convenience of cultivation brought to us by strong mental power is more obvious the higher the level. It's like the effect of a sink and a bathtub for washing dishes is similar, but it's very different for taking a bath. However, even if we are more talented, we still need enough information and resources. The magic circle in the royal capital has much more to come into contact with than Black Mountain and Suero. If you come here, your realm should be improved faster.

…

There are other things that happened, big and small, but they are not suitable for writing in the letter. We will talk about it in detail when we meet later...

Luo Ling stood at the door of the room and finished reading Xiao Chen's letter. She flipped through the envelope and didn't find any other paper.

"Lazy guy." She pouted, put the letter in her pocket, and walked out the door.

"This person named Xiao Chen is really interesting." Glade's voice sounded in her mind.

"What did he say?"

"At the end of each paragraph of his letter, he asked you to go to the capital."

"What's wrong with that?"

"It means he missed you very much. I saw that he expressed this meaning ten times in a reversed way!" Glade said.

"It was twelve times, you illiterate. There are two metaphors that you don't understand." Milda added.

"You two are really boring. Even more boring than that guy." Luo Ling laughed.

Luo Ling's schedule today is very busy. She first has to check the situation of the dwarves after a month of settlement, then go to the newly established magic school to attend classes, and also listen to the report meeting on the trial production of air guns. Finally, she made an appointment with Morey to meet in the laboratory.

"Good morning, Mr. Luo!" A little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old came from the fork in the road. The child was not tall, her skin was a little rough, she had purple hair, and she was wearing a dress. Although the fabric was a bit poor, the style was very modern.

She was Luo Ling's neighbor, just two houses away, and Luo Ling would often meet her in the morning and evening.

Like most people, Luo Ling has now moved out of school and moved into a new house in Hewan New District. Although these houses are not as well built as the original dormitories, they are much more spacious after all. According to the original standards in Shanghai, they are all townhouses.

Most of the people living around are advanced elements among time travelers and locals. The so-called advanced elements are those who have passed the intermediate Chinese test, have a relatively good job, have a family, and abide by the law. These people have begun to gradually adapt to life in school. Whether in terms of clothing, conversation or living habits, they have opened up a big gap with the local people.

"Good morning, Elaine, today is the weekend, do you want to go out and play?" Luo Ling greeted her with a smile. Elaine's father is a technician in a steel mill, and her mother works in a garment factory. Her parents are both serious students who make rapid progress. The little girl herself has good grades, so the family of three was rated as advanced elements and moved into this high-end residential area.

"No, the school organized public welfare work, and we are going to the dwarf community to help them clean up." Elaine said excitedly.

"Then we're on the way, so let's go together." Luo Ling gave up using the flying skill and walked side by side with her, "Why do you want to organize such an event?"

"Well..., the dwarves have just settled down not long ago and have no time to take care of their community. Besides, if we kids have more contact with them, they will be less defensive and integrate into the group quickly."

"It's a good idea." Luo Ling touched her head, "Did you think of it yourself?"

"No, it was said by Teacher Xiaolian in class. She also said that although humans and dwarves look different, they all come from the same ancestors, so we are still compatriots, so let's not bully them."

"Do you and your classmates think the teacher is right?"

"I think so. I'm not tall, especially I understand those dwarves. However, some students still laugh at and bully dwarf students. At this time, I will speak up for the dwarves, and my good friends will also stop these people, so we have made several dwarf friends in the past few days. Teacher Luo, why do you think some boys like to bully dwarves? "

"Bullying the weak is a bad nature hidden in people's hearts. Not only dwarves, but before they came, didn't those boys bully people?"

"That's bullying."

"So, the key is not the dwarves, but these people themselves. Their own hearts are not strong enough, and they feel that they are not good enough, so they have to find confidence from others."

"It's hateful."

"It doesn't matter. With good children like you who are brave enough to fight them, I believe everything will be fine. "
