Luo Ling and Elaine arrived at the dwarven community in the north of the new Hewan New Area.

The so-called dwarven community is not all dwarf, on the contrary, at least two-thirds of the inhabitants are still human. It's just that the dwarves are scattered here, hence the common name.

Elaine joined the other students, and Luo Ling walked to a tube building.

Walking up to the second floor, there was a knock on a door.

It was a dwarf woman who came to open the door, and when she saw that it was Luo Ling visiting, she hurriedly saluted: "Your Excellency Luo Ling." ”

"Paula, don't do that, I said it a long time ago, we don't talk about such rules here. ”

"Yes. The dwarf was still trembling.

"What about Sinclair?"

"Ah, it's Your Excellency Luo Ling. Sinclair heard a voice and walked out of it, wearing a wide flat overalls made for dwarves and holding a large broom in his hand, "The school kids have come to clean up the neighborhood for us. We can't just watch. I've got all the dwarves who have time to join them in their labor, and I'm ready to go. ”

"Then let's go together. Luo Ling said.

"You ......"

"I've done these things a lot since I was a kid. ”

——————————————

Under the arrangement of the school teachers and the person in charge of the neighborhood committee, Luo Ling and Sinclair were also assigned to a lump sum area.

"It's such a magical place. I would never have imagined that a mid-level mage would do such a thing, not even a warrior like me would do such a job anywhere else. If someone sends me to sweep the floor in a dwarven village, I'll blow his head off. Sinclair swept the floor very quickly, but he suppressed the dust with his fighting spirit.

"Ha, then why are you here today. Luo Ling couldn't help but laugh when she heard what he said interestingly.

"My identity is different, I was originally just a hunting captain, as long as I cared about where there was prey and how to do traps. But now behind me are the dwarves of the whole village, and the old village chief has handed them over to me, and I can only carry them down. I have to make an example if I want others to be obedient. After all, it's your human place, and we have to watch our every move. For some reason, I'm still having fun working with the students. The dwarf said bluntly.

"Some of us there call it a show, which means to do a show. Luo Ling's sweeping movements were much slower than Sinclair's, she didn't use any magic power, she just swept at a glance.

"It doesn't sound like a good word. Do you mean doing things for everyone to see?" Sinclair quickly grasped the point of the word.

"Well, that's pretty much it, but I think it's necessary to put on a proper show. Luo Ling said.

"If I had done it before, I would have thought it would be hypocritical. But now it's me leading the dwarves. I've been 'putting on show' many times. ”

Luo Ling smiled: "It seems that you have made a lot of progress on the road of a leader. ”

"No way, if I don't take the lead in doing some things, others won't find a role model. When they first arrived, no dwarves wanted to eat at the same table as humans. I can only find Ji Yijun and let him sit with our family to eat, in fact, I don't like to eat with that guy at all, he talks too much nonsense.

But I persevered, and finished my first meal in front of them, and the next day a dwarf joined in. After eating like this for three days in a row, the dwarves began to be willing to eat at the same table with other humans. You know, a lot of the time they're worried and scared, not thinking otherwise. At this point, it's important to have a ready-made example. ”

Luo Ling was a little glad that the old village chief had found a successor like Sinclair, and she asked again, "Do you think dwarves can live well with humans now?"

"Maybe, maybe not. As a hunter, you always have to anticipate the worst. I'm never used to saying yes easily, so I can't just pat my chest and talk about this big thing. Sinclair, holding his broom, paused and said seriously, "In the past few days since we moved here, there has been no contradiction between humans and dwarves. Under the management of your committee, everyone is also humble and restrained by each other. But I don't know what will happen if everything goes bad. When everything is good, all disagreements are not a big deal, but when everything goes bad, every disagreement can be a big deal. ”

Luo Ling was a little surprised by the dwarf's words, but she said: "I agree that changes in the external environment will affect people's perceptions and ways of getting along. But that's not the only factor that affects relationships.

Some factors keep people apart, while others can bring people together. It's like humans and dwarves don't have a deep relationship now, and even you still have worries and doubts, which is normal, even if you and I have only known each other for more than a month.

"But just think about it. Luo Ling pointed to the human students and dwarves who were working together, "If these young humans and you dwarven children have been living together. Growing up together, eating the same meals, reading the same books, recognizing the same values, and having the same emotional support. So what would their relationship look like? I think they might be like brothers, supporting each other in difficult situations, not hostile to each other. ”

"It's hard, even our kindred, the princes and nobles of the Dwarven Empire ......"

"Think about it, do they really think of you as compatriots? Do they care about your interests? Do they face difficulties with you? Do they use their days off to clean the streets and gardens with you? Ideological differences are far more powerful than physical differences in dividing people into hostile groups. I don't deny that it's hard for two races to get along, but do you think it's going to be harder than it is for you to survive in the Empire, it's harder for you to carve out a retreat of your own? ”

"Indeed......" Sinclair pondered.

At this time, a crisp female voice sounded in his ears: "Uncle Dwarf, are you hungry?" We have prepared a small snack, which is the best pastry in Xinghualou. Let's try a piece!"

Sinclair turned his head to see a purple-haired human girl handing him a nice piece of pastry.

Sinclair held out his hand, but instinctively stopped when he was about to touch the cake. However, the girl did not hesitate to stuff the cake in his hand, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome, Teacher Xiaolian said, we are all a family now. The girl gave him a smile, gave Luo Ling another piece of pastry, and then bounced away.

Sinclair put the pastry in his mouth and took a bite, and it was very sweet and sweet.
