Mountain and Forest Kingdom

"Luofen III is dead?"

Lawrence sat in the tavern, listening to the backward intelligence Friesen brought back from Pig Trotter City.

Friesen drank wine and wiped his beard and said: "Yes, he was poisoned by assassins from the East."

Lawrence had some doubts about the accuracy of this information.

If Dongfang wanted to kill Luofen III, he would not wait until now.

but……

Lawrence had long thought that Luofen III would die, so it was easy to guess the true cause of his death.

"How is his relationship with the southern nobles?"

Friesen shook his head, "I don't know."

Lawrence asked: "After the death of Luofen III, who will inherit the southern Kingdom of Norison? Is his queen a female noble of the southern kingdom?"

Friesen said blankly: "I don't know."

Lawrence was a little frustrated. It was useless to ask this guy about this kind of thing. How could he care about such a national event.

"Then let me ask you, will Pig Trotter City go to the West to make a fortune this year?"

Friesen quickly said: "Yes, the nobles of Pig Trotter City said that Norrison has dominated the business with the south. Many knight lords have gone to the Kingdom of Norrison to establish manors. Now the slave business is very good and they want to go to the west. Do business.”

Lawrence captured several key messages.

Since taking over the wealthy kingdom of Norison, King Luofen III has discovered the beauty of finance and taxation, and abandoned the troublesome means of getting rich through robbery.

At the same time, the men of King Luofen III were also enfeoffed in the wealthy Norison Kingdom, while the nobles of Pig Trotter City were abandoned in a poor place.

Pig Trotter City is definitely much richer than Pumixiu Town and Valkyrie, but it is much worse than Norison Kingdom. Naturally, some people feel dissatisfied.

In addition, Luofen III was close to the nobles in the south and squeezed into the circle of nobles in the Southern Alliance, giving a lot of profits to the nobles in the south.

Both the southern nobles and the northern nobles want this man dead!

A group of barbarians who knew nothing about politics and only knew how to kill, drink, and eat pig's trotters without knowing a word of Chinese characters. After moving to the south, none of the churches and nobles they met were kind-hearted people willing to accept the barbarians.

This was the limit of the feudal system, and these barbarians were now trapped in the fishing nets of the southern kingdom.

The barbarians in the north have no intention of rescuing, and now the barbarians in the north only want to make a fortune.

Since slaves are needed in the south, Wakili, Pig's Trotter City, and the large and small barbarian villages near Pig's Trotter City will rob food and slaves, and then exchange them for various needed materials.

After all, Luofen III took the initiative to declare war on the East, which made the East unwilling to trade with these barbarians. Now the barbarians, under the scheme of the southerners, can only go to the West to make a fortune.

Although the barbarian kingdom was divided, the southerners still had no ability to attack the north.

First of all, they looked down upon the frozen land in the north.

Secondly, it is easy to unite to defend, but to unite to attack, it will cause all kinds of troubles. In this era, there is basically no such organizational strength.

There is no reward for attacking the north. The land here is barren, cattle and sheep are scarce, and the climate is harsh.

If the North does not go south to get rich, it is already blessed by the gods. The southerners will fight the northern barbarians when they are full.

After figuring out that Luofen III was not a human being inside and out, and his death was not unjust at all, Lawrence also began to think about his recent behavior.

Although there is no similar behavior, we must also pay attention to communication with the people of the territory and cultivate trustworthy confidants and loyal ministers.

"Okay, Friesen, you did a great job. Go home and have a baby with your wife."

Friesen looked at Lawrence in shock, "Is this God's will?"

"Yes, God wants you to have more children." Lawrence said casually.

Friesen quickly drank the wine in the glass, "I know! Thank you for your guidance, Prophet!"

Lawrence sat at the wine table and continued to think about how to avoid assassination. At least there should be a group of people willing to protect him when he was assassinated.

Sophia is the last layer of defense, and the second step is to establish a guard team so that there are people at any time to isolate nearby strangers.

Even some of our own people should be vigilant.

After thinking about it, I feel that the most reliable one is Liangjiazi who has all kinds of families here.

Like Emma and Bull, like Beow and Manderkru.

Also, in this era, the relationship between most lords and their subjects was very distant.

Lawrence didn't want this. Only by making everyone pay attention to the safety of the lord could the bad guys be discovered in advance.

Strengthening the interaction with the people of the territory will also help you control the place.

Lawrence thought about his current situation.

"Now I have enough people here to farm, harvest and collect. There are already a lot of people available for agricultural work. Coupled with the supplement from business, there is absolutely no problem with food."

“The clothing problem is a little more complicated, but it will be alleviated a lot once wool and linen are purchased from the West.”

"Most things are not so urgent. The construction of the castle cannot be completed in a day or two. Now that the mill is completed, four large houses have also been built at the Ug Village stronghold. When the knights and young ones come over, they can live there directly."

"Two blacksmith shops are enough. If there are any more, Charcoal will not be able to handle it."

"Almost..." Lawrence looked at the barbarian men and women playing cards nearby and quickly realized the next route.

Culture, entertainment.

After the problems of food and shelter are solved, the next step that needs to be improved is the spiritual and cultural fields.

His original goal was to establish civilization and lead the barbarians out of barbarism, and now he should also spread civilization.

Lawrence wondered where to begin.

For the sake of your own life, start from the church!

The Church of the Stars that was improvised at the beginning was just to deceive the barbarians. If you want to avoid being defeated by a higher and more perfect religion, you must first improve your own rules here, and you cannot always write new rules on the fly.

Lord of the Stars...

Educational and entertaining, the Lord of the Stars has one hundred and eight star warriors under his command!

Everyone who believes in the Lord of the Stars is the reincarnation of the berserker in the sky, and after death, he enters the Palace of Stars to serve as the palace master.

When the berserker awakens his bloodline and welcomes death, it is the moment to awaken his own sacred honor and witness his true self.

The Lord of the Stars is the supreme god, and there are upper gods, middle gods, and lower gods under his command.

Lawrence felt that it was best to have a system that could be understood and accepted by barbarians. If these systems were paired with some stories and legends, it would be like pig food with water, and the pigs would eat more happily.

Gold Star Fighter!

Silver Star Fighter!

Bronze Star Fighter!

Golden Leo, Andrew?

Lawrence felt that it was getting more and more nonsense. He didn't understand the stars at all, and the stars in this world were different from those in his hometown.

"Then let's start with the story. Tell some stories about famous star warriors under the command of the gods. At least it should make everyone have something to do and be interested in."

"Journey to the West!"

When Lawrence got home at night, he tried to start with his own people.

"No more playing cards today, I'll tell you about the history and legend of our Church of the Stars."

Lawrence sat on the chair next to him and shouted to the four witches playing cards not far away.

Salil was still drawing cards and said disgustedly: "Didn't you make that up?"

Lawrence didn't argue with Salil, took a sip of honey water to moisten his throat, and then put down the cup.

"Today we are going to tell the story of Tang Sanzang, the eighteenth generation prophet of the Lord of the Stars Church and the beast-taming prophet, who went to the West to preach."

Salil and others continued to play cards, ignoring Lawrence.

Lawrence continued the story without pausing.

"The beast-taming prophet Tang Sanzang received the teachings of the Lord of the Stars and decided to go to the West to preach. It was the time of the ancient war of gods, and monsters were rampant everywhere. In order to smoothly go to the West and retrieve the Star Box, a treasure belonging to the Church of the Stars, he tamed the beasts The prophet Tang Sanzang visited the forest prophet Guanyin.”

"Our Lady of Guanyin was delighted by the visit of the prophet Tang Sanzang and told him a story from ancient times."

"Fifty thousand years ago, a star stone fell from the Milky Way and landed on the top of Mount Agama."

"After 40,000 years of wind, rain, lightning and thunder, this stone has absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, the power of life between heaven and earth, and the beating sound of the heart has gradually come out of this stone of life!"

"Boom! One day after 40,000 years, this stone exploded like an egg shell, and a stone monkey with a face full of hair, a mouth like lightning, and full of the power of the Chaos Stone Demon stood up. He opened his mouth and roared at the sky, and the chaotic demonic energy shot out from his mouth penetrated the seven mountains!!"

Lawrence found that several witches had stopped playing cards and were all quietly listening to the stories.

Lawrence said quickly: "We'll talk about the rest tomorrow, I'm going to sleep."

"Don't sleep!" Salil quickly grabbed Lawrence, pushed Lawrence onto the chair where she was sitting, and brought honey water for Lawrence, "Continue talking."

Lawrence was sure that his story would be heard. There were not many entertainment methods in this era. Apart from playing cards, people were particularly curious about some nonsense stories and their memories were very deep.

"The Chaos Stone Monkey is very curious about everything in Agama Mountain. It is like an ordinary monkey, turning over stones and collecting wild fruits."

"Soon, it encountered a group of wind demon monkeys, who were electing the monkey king. These wind demon monkeys can run eight hundred miles a day, have huge teeth, and can tear apart the bodies of barbarians who enter the mountains with their hands."

"The old monkey king of the Gale Demon Monkey said: I can jump ten meters high on the spot. Whoever can jump higher than me will be recognized as the monkey king."

"The Chaos Stone Monkey said: I'll do it!"

As Lawrence was talking, he found that Lathander, who was two rooms away, had also come in to listen to the story.

Lawrence, who originally planned to talk casually and stop, was forced to add some more.

It didn't end until the story about the Chaos Stone Monkey going to the East China Sea to learn fighting qi magic. Both the adults and children reluctantly got into bed.

While sleeping, Lawrence sorted out what he had written casually today, and later compiled it into a book and told it to the children in the church.

Only in this way can we use a complete system of the Star God Religion to resist the ideological invasion of the Western and Southern Churches.
