Mountain and Forest Kingdom

In summer, the crops on the manor begin to mature.

Lawrence checked the growth status of various crops and arranged the harvest sequence in each area in advance.

"Navia, the harvested vegetables are divided into four parts. One part will be used as food for the past few days, some will be stored for later consumption, some will be pickled, and some will be processed into dehydrated vegetables."

Lawrence took Sofia and Navia to register various areas.

Navia memorized it very seriously and seemed to work very hard.

When Lawrence saw this, he said: "I will plant wooden sticks at the edge of the vegetable field, and you can harvest from low to high according to the height of the wooden sticks."

Navia bowed happily and thanked, "Yes, Master!"

Lawrence felt that he also needed to get a writing instrument as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too troublesome to record things, and he would always rely on his brain to memorize, or it would be inaccurate to convey orders verbally.

You can make both writing brushes and inkstones, and you can also try quill pens.

In fact, there was someone more experienced in this kind of thing than himself. Lawrence asked: "I have never made my own ink and pens. Navia, have you not tried to do this?"

Navia nodded, "I did. When we were in the monastery, I often helped Brielle find pens and ink."

Although Brielle comes from an ordinary family, she loves to study, is more beautiful, and is good at things like singing, writing, and translating.

Navia is the daughter of a baron. Because she is not taken seriously and has little money, she is actually much more diligent. She cleans, cleans, and repairs beds and tables, and has good hands-on skills.

Lawrence asked Brielle to assist Emma and Bull in arranging production and defense work in the town, while Navia served as the substitute housekeeper of the manor, taking care of the operation of the manor.

"Then if you have time, try this and let me know if it's done well."

"Yes, Master!"

Lawrence asked: "How are the children in the church learning?"

Navia shook her head regretfully, "It's terrible. It's torture for most children."

Lawrence was not surprised, "It's normal, as long as you can remember simple numbers clearly."

The learning atmosphere is not developed in a day or two. The Luofen Kingdom is a group of illiterate people from top to bottom.

Whether they are nobles or kings, they only care about killing people, drinking wine and grabbing territory, and have no idea of ​​spreading culture at all.

Even if Luofen III ruled the Kingdom of Northenri for three hundred years, the barbarians would not be able to give birth to their own culture. On the contrary, they would easily lose their own language.

“I’m going to make sticks, and after harvesting the garlic and oats, I’m going to get ready for the wheat harvest.”

"I will check the number of scythes later. How many people can work on the mountain? Excluding those who take care of children and cook and patrol, how many people there are."

Navia said respectfully: "Yes, should I report to you later, or should I go to Sir Salil?"

"Everything is fine." Lawrence looked at Sariel who was grooming Dom Sheep in the distance. "We have more and more things, hundreds and thousands of things. Let's do this for now."

Lawrence quickly made his way to the warehouse.

Navia felt that Lawrence seemed to want to say something, but left before finishing.

Lawrence really wanted to say something, but later realized that it would be better to resolve the issue directly.

"Sofia, bring me my drill and some long sticks that can be used as dowels."

"good!"

Lawrence found a forty-centimeter-long rectangular board among the piles of wood chips and cut it vertically into three parts.

Sophia handed over the drill and wooden dowels. These were tools that Lawrence had made himself, and would continue to improve with iron tools.

From the beginning, purely wooden tools were gradually replaced by iron tools.

Sofia thought Lawrence was making wooden sticks for marking, but after sitting nearby and looking at it, she felt that it was not the case.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Lawrence replied: "Make an abacus that will make arithmetic easier."

Sophia asked curiously: "With this thing, arithmetic will become easier?"

"No, learning this tool is also a troublesome thing." Lawrence explained: "This is not prepared for poor students, but for people like Salil who have mastered addition, subtraction, multiplication and division."

Just like a textile machine, the abacus is also a strange thing that is more useful for smart people and more troublesome for poor students.

Poor students can't even add, subtract, multiply and divide well. If they learn how to use an abacus, they will only become more confused.

In the face of mathematics, people are different. Especially in the northern region where barbarian ancestry is dominant, universal education is not as effective as elite education.

Whoever can master addition, subtraction, multiplication and division first proves that these people have a higher level of acceptance and respond faster in this regard.

Usually these people have been exposed to arithmetic in advance, such as noble ladies who are more sensitive to assets, or the children of shepherd boys and craftsmen.

When smart people have "weapons", their calculations will become more convenient and accurate.

No matter what profession you are in, a good weapon can greatly improve your skills.

Avari originally wore boar leather armor, a helmet to protect against hidden arrows, and a large wild boar, which was far more lethal than Doug and others.

This time, the knight was more terrifying than Avari. The main reason was not his strength and physique, but the fact that he was covered in knight armor. He was invulnerable and also had an extremely sharp long axe.

If the people on Lawrence's side weren't afraid of death and weren't frightened, this fierce man alone could kill more than a hundred people in a village all over the mountain.

Unless Andrew and Redbeard have stronger mounts and equipment, they will definitely not be the opponent of this knight.

Kharan and Salil are also no match for this knight. The casting range of more than ten meters is too short for this knight, and brute force is of no use to this person.

Delenn's stone was also a little dangling in front of this violent machine. The last time Lawrence saw the lethality of the berserker, the colossus was cut into cracks. Delenn's defense was a bit dangerous in front of this fierce man.

Lathander's offensive witchcraft is stronger. If someone provides protection and delay, it can let the tin can know the power of fire.

While Lawrence was making the abacus, he looked into the distance. There were several crows on the grass in the distance looking for something to eat.

Since settling here, these crows have become accustomed to life here and can live in peace with chickens and dogs.

Lawrence thought of the wizard who could control the crows.

The wizard had nothing on him except southern currency and a bag of wheat for the birds. Neither his clothes nor his shoes were any different.

A poor pureblood wizard?

The wheat was inspected by Kharam and was just ordinary wheat.

Nonetheless, Lawrence was kind enough to have his body taken to Mount Ugg and buried under a large oak tree.

As for the corpses of the rest of the people, they were properly disposed of. Most of them were buried casually in the fields. For example, the corpse of the earl was spread with salt and moved to a clean cellar to prevent him from decomposing too quickly and waiting for his family. .

The corpse of the wizard will return to nature and nourish a large area of ​​land, and the corpses of other people can also return to the earth.

Regardless of whether he is a wizard or a magician, Lawrence feels that this wizard is not weak in ability, but he just chose the wrong opponent.

If this wizard used his ability to kill people from a distance of two hundred meters for assassination, he would definitely be a very powerful assassin.

Steal, assassinate, act as a prophet, or let more than a hundred crows grab rocks to hit people from the sky, and control the crows to light fires everywhere.

He is obviously very capable, but due to the limitations of his thinking and imagination, he can only be a poor man for the rest of his life.

Lawrence was extremely envious of that damn ghost's abilities.

"If I had that ability, I would take off by now!"
