Mountain and Forest Kingdom

A heavy rain came and the temperature dropped sharply.

The next day Lawrence went out of the cave, looked at the gloomy weather outside, and then returned to the bedroom.

"Saryl, Sariel." Lawrence patted Sariel on the face.

Sariel pushed Lawrence's hand away impatiently, changed her position and continued to sleep with her back to Lawrence.

Lawrence asked: "Saryl, Sariel, is it going to rain today?"

"I'll...sleep." Salil covered her head with a pillow and continued to sleep.

Lawrence walked out helplessly.

The space in the cave is limited, so a multi-layered structure is adopted. Delen's witchcraft is used to reinforce it to prevent collapse, and then form layers of staircases.

The main house adopts a trapezoidal structure, which becomes smaller as it goes up. There are sloping stone walls on both sides for fixation, and there are also sloping stone pillars with ladder functions inside for support.

Witchcraft only occupies a small part, and more is the structure and stable principles of science.

The Lawrence family lives on the bottom floor, and Emma and Bull live on the second floor, where Navia and Brielle also live.

The third floor is a place for study and study, and the fourth floor is where Khalan studies herbal medicine and Lawrence places his tools.

There is a fifth floor above, which is the pressure reservoir and water purification device.

Because it was a cloudy day, the cave was a little damp and stuffy.

Lawrence went out of the bedroom and saw Bull setting up a brazier in the living room on the first floor.

The lighting beads were used as lighthouses so that caravans from the west could approach in foggy weather.

The main lighting tool in the cave is the fire, and most of the time it is dark and dim.

The witches seem to be very adaptable to this environment. Whether it is Salil, Sophia and Kohala, they all think it is very good here.

Lawrence walked to the chair and sat down, and said to Bull who was not far away: "Bull, I remember that when the merchants of the Ancient Whisperer family came here for the first time, they sold us a few southern female slaves. How are those people living here? Already?"

Bull came over and said: "They have learned to make wool, and they have also learned to cook and grow vegetables."

Lawrence nodded, "There are still a few vacant rooms on the second floor. You can discuss with Emma, ​​Bull, Navia and Brielle, and then select four maids to work here."

Bull agreed: "Yes, Master."

At this time, Salil walked out of the house, her hair messy as if she hadn't woken up.

Lawrence ignored her and said to Bull: "Let's eat."

After the hard-working Salil woke up, Sophia, Kharan and others also woke up one after another.

Salil is just a little lazy compared to Lawrence and the maids. As a ruling class and aristocratic woman here, she is actually very good.

Bull told Emma about this when he went to the kitchen to serve food.

"Emma, ​​the master wants to find four more maids."

After hearing this, Emma said: "Yes, there are too few people here, and we are usually too busy."

Navia and Brielle are here too.

Brielle went out with the food, and after placing the plate elegantly on the dining table, she stood beside Lawrence and waited.

Lawrence is usually very busy, so he will take the initiative to ask some things during meals.

After seeing Brielle standing next to him, Lawrence asked: "Is there something wrong?"

Brielle said respectfully: "When I was in Pumixiu Town these days, a servant from Sidel came over and asked if you need a beautiful female slave."

"Yes, but men are better. We need male labor here." Lawrence said: "If it is a male slave, give priority to buying one who can speak our language, and then craftsmen and farmers."

Brielle replied: "That's what I answered them, but I feel like those people are not trying to sell you beautiful slave girls."

"What's that for?" Salil came back at some point. She also arranged her hair and tied it into a beautiful costume hairstyle.

Brielle said: "Maybe it is to marry you. Our church does not prohibit marriage, so they have such an idea."

Lawrence did not prohibit church members from getting married, even nuns.

Thinking of this, Lawrence thought: "I have no idea of ​​marrying a noble, nor will I use myself as a marriage tool. However, if they are willing, our monastery can also accept female nobles from outside to become nuns."

"Just like those churches in the West and the South, if aristocratic women want to enter the church and become nuns, they have to donate a placement fee."

Of course Lawrence would not let go of such a good means of making money.

As long as those female nobles are allowed to come and become nuns, or a monastery is arranged for them to live in and continue to be eldest ladies, there will be a lot of money and dowry and land to take. This is more comfortable than robbery!

Lawrence now really looked down on the little income from robbery.

When robbing ordinary people's villages, they would at most bring back some food and meat, or some rags and kitchen utensils.

Not every village is so rich and everyone has enough to eat.

Especially after a round of robbery, after all the grass around the nest was eaten up, no one could be found again.

Now Lawrence prefers to do business and engage in other high-income activities.

Brielle looked at Lawrence in surprise, not expecting Lawrence to have such an idea.

"Someone really wants to come to us and become a nun..."

As Brielle spoke, she denied herself and said respectfully: "There must be someone willing to come over and serve the Lord of the Stars and you, the master."

Lawrence thought about how to implement this plan.

"First send someone to reply to Count Sider. We have established a good cooperative relationship. I believe he will definitely be willing to send someone to be a nun."

"Those in Telangta City should pay attention. Luofen III had joined the Southern Alliance earlier and believed in the Holy Light Church in the South."

"The City of Telanthoof will definitely be influenced by Luofen III, and it is not the same as us in terms of belief."

"Go and organize those people who went to Tellanda City last year, and let Beow follow the caravan to go there this year."

Friesen's death was a loss to Lawrence.

Not only did we lose a soldier, we also lost a very good businessman.

Although most people don't like Friesen, he is indeed more valuable than most.

Sariel suddenly said: "If you want to find a maid, start with the children. For example, Emma's child Tim can be a maid."

Lawrence looked at Salil in astonishment, "What can a four or five-year-old girl do?"

"You don't have to do anything, you can definitely sweep the floor." Salil looked at Lawrence strangely, "Let's start with cleaning and handing things over, and let Emma teach the rest."

Lawrence thought it was ridiculous. Tim was still a little girl, a four-year-old girl.

When he first went to Emma's house to grind wheat, Tim was still breastfeeding in Emma's arms!

Kharan, who didn't speak much, suggested: "I think what Salil said is very good. A maid must be trained from an early age."

When Emma heard that the two mistresses recommended their daughter to be a maid, she said excitedly and nervously: "Tim is very obedient. I promise that I will educate her to work for you, master!"

Lawrence also learned the value of loyalty and trust.

Tim is indeed very young, but as Emma's daughter, if he receives education from an early age, he is indeed safer than outsiders.

In this primitive and barbaric era, trust is very important.

"That's it, future maids will be chosen first from our people, especially those who have made significant contributions."

Lawrence thought about the crooked people in the emperor's harem again, and realized that it was not good to pay too much attention to merit, and added: "But we must also give the rest a chance."

"Yes! Master." The four maids roughly understood what Lawrence meant.

Emma quickly went to fetch Tim, who was living with the Pumixiu woman.

Emma, ​​a young woman in her twenties, took the hand of her four-year-old daughter Tim and knelt in front of Lawrence.

"Master!" The adults and children knelt together and nervously greeted Lawrence.

Lawrence smiled and said: "Get up, Tim is still young now. He will start with simple sweeping the floor, and then do other things when he is older. He usually sleeps in the same room with Emma."

The adults and children said neatly, as if they had been rehearsed: "Yes, thank you, Master!"

Lawrence knew that Emma must have told Tim what to do and what not to do.

It is indeed necessary to train Tim, but there is still a shortage of people in the house now. Brielle, Navia and others have many things to deal with every day, and at least two more maids need to be added to the cave.

Otherwise, just the work of setting up the brazier every day would take a long time.
