Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Lawrence's crows don't deliver messages, and there are real deadly poisons surrounding Mount Talim.

The witch at least seems to be able to communicate, but it depends on how the two parties meet.

Lawrence thought that he had lived near Talim Mountain for a long time. He could see that mountain, and people on that mountain should also be able to see this side.

Unless she is the kind of woman who really stays in a small room all day long, she will not be able to discover the manor.

The manor has been cooking on time every day for more than half a year, and there are constant fireworks.

Judging from the situation of witches like Delen and Salil, witches also need to eat, and that mountain...

Lawrence quickly asked: "The witch poisoned her prey to death, can she eat those poisoned animals?"

Delenn replied: "Probably, but I definitely won't like eating this kind of thing."

"Why?" Lawrence didn't understand.

Salil didn't understand what was going on here, and Sophia was also looking at it curiously.

Lathander explained: "The witchcraft we use will not dissipate for a period of time after entering the body of other organisms. According to the rules of nature, our power can only be recovered by land and time, not ourselves."

Lawrence roughly understood it and translated: "It just means it tastes bad, right?"

Delen said cheerfully: "That's right, it tastes very bad."

Lawrence roughly understood the rules of witchcraft.

Witchcraft energy cannot be recovered, and after use it takes a destructive or special form that cannot be used.

Just like waste, the caster's body rejects this kind of thing returning to the body again.

"Is witchcraft destructive and polluting? That means that after witchcraft is used, this witchcraft energy will remain on this land for a long time."

Lawrence looked at Lathander. This old witch had a wealth of experience and wisdom.

Lathander had a look of reminiscence on her face, imparting wisdom to the young prophet in front of her.

"There are many types of witchcraft. We call it the power of nature."

"There are elemental powers like us, and there are also wisdom, prophecies, and prophetic powers like yours that communicate with nature and hear the sounds of the earth and forests."

"There is also the ability to communicate with animals and be able to drive animals and change into animals."

Lawrence asked, "Is there anyone with multiple abilities?"

Lathander showed a look of recollection, "Yes, there are some races that have gained the power of longevity. We call them elves. Many of these long-lived creatures are born with the power of nature."

Lawrence nodded, and several questions in his mind were generally answered.

Lathander continued: "You have to pay attention, each witch can only have one child at a time."

Lawrence didn't understand this statement, "At the same time?"

Lathander nodded, "A witch can only give birth to a second child if the first child dies."

Lawrence asked: "If the first child is still alive, then..."

Lawrence hesitated for a moment, but thinking about the social atmosphere here, he said directly: "What will happen if we continue to have sex?"

Lathander said: "That will not give birth to a child. As long as the first child is still there, the witch's body will not give birth to a second child."

Lawrence asked: "Where is the wizard?"

Lathander hesitated for a moment, "I don't know about this. Most wizards are not willing to leave descendants. They are obsessed with the power of destruction and losing control, or they are too immersed in it and naturally ignore the condition of their people."

"Don't worry!" Lawrence smiled at Salil and Sophia: "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

Salil and Sophia were not shy either, and their beautiful eyes were full of smiles.

Lathander reminded: "It seems that you have already started, so there is one thing you need to know."

Lawrence listened carefully.

Lathander said: "If it has been more than a year since you felt the beating in your belly, it means you are the descendant of a witch. If you are born between now and autumn, you will not inherit the power of nature."

"If you want at that time..."

Without waiting for Lathander to finish speaking, Lawrence said directly: "I will judge this matter myself. Regardless of whether the child in the future can inherit our natural power, I will impart my wisdom to this child."

Seeing that Lawrence had his own persistence, Lathander said no more.

Lawrence said: "Then start the transaction, we have to go back as soon as possible."

Lathander wanted to keep Lawrence here overnight, so she didn't say anything when she saw this, and looked at Delenn.

Delen came over quickly and said, "Start."

Lawrence and the other three took out the things in the basket.

Salt, 10 cans.

High quality charcoal, one basket

Fine flour, a basket

Daggers, scissors, iron needles for making clothes.

Delen took a look at the things here and said quickly: "Fifteen furs, a basket of meat, and a bag of seeds."

Lawrence already has enough meat at home, and some animals will be slaughtered in the fall, otherwise there will not be enough feed for the winter.

Whether it is pigs, goats or chickens, some must be killed in winter, so it is difficult to digest excess food.

Lawrence said: "I don't want the meat, except the fur and seeds. I want five pots."

Delen looked at Lawrence doubtfully, "Don't you have a pot?"

"I needed some stone pots and it would be too much trouble to make them myself," Lawrence explained.

Delen stood up and said, "This is simple. I have many stone pots that are resistant to burning."

Lawrence asked: "How long does it take to build a stone pot?"

"It's very simple. It takes the time to finish two fruits." Delen said: "You can use the stones in the cave. The stones there are cleaner."

Lawrence: "Okay!"

Soon the four of them started to pack their things, and after the deal was completed, they went to the cave to make stone pots.

Lawrence found that hanging pots the size of washbasins were used here. In the absence of ironware, stone pots were indeed a good choice.

The stone pot that Lawrence originally planned was a rice noodle pot that a child could pick up casually.

However, considering the relationship between my family and the convenience of eating hot pot, I introduced the shape and structure of the stone hot pot to Delen.

"About knee-high."

"Better than your belly."

Drew quickly caused a stone to break into several pieces. Only the needed part in the middle became harder, and the rest fell into sand and gravel.

Lawrence continued: "The sides are left here like a mushroom, the middle is hollowed out to put charcoal, and the wide part around it is shaped like a sink to put water in."

"It's narrower and smaller at the top."

Delen repeatedly hollowed out the inside of the stone, and only after Lawrence repeatedly reminded him did he make the first stone hot pot.

"This is too troublesome. I can only help you make another strange stone like this." Delen regretted.

This stone hot pot was much more complicated than a normal stone pot, and Delen felt that he was at a loss.

Lawrence quickly said: "Then just make an ordinary stone pot. The one I use for cooking should be stronger."

"No problem." Delen quickly found a solid stone, pressed his hands on the stone for a few seconds, and the stone began to collapse as if it was melting.

Lawrence found that Delen's witchcraft was very suitable for strengthening city walls and buildings, rather than making stone pots.

But for the Cloda people, the stone pot may be more important.

The stone pots were made very quickly this time. Delen thought it was okay to be idle, so he gave five more stone bowls.

Lawrence happily picked up the stone pot and walked into the cave with Salil and others.

Before leaving, Lawrence said to Delen: "Deren, we will come here in ten days."

Delen asked: "Do you still want to trade? I don't have anything extra here."

Lawrence smiled and said: "It's not a deal, I just came to have fun and prepare some food."

"Okay!" Delen agreed readily.

After entering the cave, Salil, who was walking in front, said, "Didn't you tell Delen about the honey?"

Lawrence said: "Let's talk about it when we come here next time. She said there is nothing extra here. We will send her some honey next time, and then we can just collect some plants and vegetables."

Salil said: "There shouldn't be many vegetables. After we bring the salt, they will pickle the vegetables. My father told them this."

"Didn't the Cloda people in the past know how to pickle vegetables?" Lawrence didn't expect that pickling vegetables had just been learned.

Salil said: "Yes, they used to only dry some fruits and meat to eat in winter. Pickles and meat were only available after my father came."

Lawrence asked: "Who is Delen's father?"

"I don't know, he must be a berserker too." Salil thought for a while and quickly said: "Maybe he is a strong man in their tribe."

Lawrence had no interest in this kind of thing, and quickly went home with two pots for hot pot.

Stone hot pot can be used on a wooden table, so a sturdy table is required.

The stone pot needs to be used on a special stove, so a coal stove is also made of bricks.

"Perhaps we can make a set of wooden chimneys? Or connect a wooden pipe to the outlet of the kettle spout and fix it around the wall to use hot air for heating?"

Lawrence felt that radiators were still too early for use and that wood chimneys might be more suitable.

With the fireplace and the stove that boils water for heating, it feels like it won't be cold this winter.
