Mountain and Forest Kingdom

After some time, the sky outside became increasingly gloomy, and the dark days became longer and longer.

After the envoys to Pig's Trotter City returned successfully and bribed the nobles of Pig's Trotter City to rest for a while, most of this year was resolved.

The fifth eternal night soon struck.

Lawrence, who had arranged various things in advance, had nearly a month of winter vacation.

But there are still many things to be busy with during this winter vacation.

Lawrence led the people in prayer in the cave.

The church outside cannot accommodate too many people, but after expansion and renovation, the cave can accommodate more than 500 people.

Lawrence stood on the stone slab outside the maid's room on the second floor to guide.

After everyone prayed and thanked God for three minutes, they began to explain some arrangements for this winter and arrangements for next spring.

After finishing these long words, he began to sit on the chair and tell stories to the people below.

The night is too long. I haven't seen the sun for more than twenty days. I have to eat, sleep, excrete, eat and sleep all day long. It is easy to cause problems.

In this era, there are no mobile phones and other entertainment. In addition to relying on alcohol to numb oneself, one just makes people and fights, and the latter two are prone to hunger.

Before, I relied on food and alcohol to get through it, but because of the threats from the outside, I gradually forgot about the long time.

Now that the number of people increases, there are more things to consider, so more entertainment activities can better stabilize public security.

Storytelling is the main focus here at the manor, and with Lawrence and others here, they are not afraid of problems.

The people at the blacksmith shop improved their skills according to Lawrence's requirements. As long as they had something to do, food to eat, and companions to communicate with, they could easily get through it.

The town of Pumexiu relies on tavern stories and a group of people having fun by themselves. Well-functioning organizational efforts will automatically solve some emergencies.

And with the existence of the church, even if Andrew and others want to do whatever they want, most people will only listen to Brielle, instead of just a shout from Andrew and a group of people will follow him to do whatever they want.

Dumu Port is supervised by Seravan and the slave girl Ula from Pig Trotter City. The actual controllers are the captains of several production teams and construction teams. Each can take care of its own affairs.

If something happens, we will discuss it and act according to the rules left by Lawrence. If it is something outside the rules, we must discuss it with Seravan. If we can't discuss it, we will put it aside and wait for Lawrence to solve it.

Life here in the manor is more stable, there are more spiritual needs, and they are all Lawrence's confidants, so from the beginning of the eternal night, a story will be told every three days to give everyone something to look forward to.

After telling the story, the meeting began to disperse, and everyone left the cave under the supervision of Lawrence.

Lawrence said to Emma who was cleaning the place: "You guys should rest. I will notify you if anything happens."

Emma agreed: "Yes, Master."

Lawrence took the witch and the dark elf back to the house. After returning, the witches went to take a bath. Lawrence thought of something.

"Put my sailboat on the ground and don't break it!"

"Got it!" Salil shouted casually.

Lawrence quickly went upstairs to take off his prophetic robes and use the toilet before taking a shower.

After a delay of more than ten minutes, I went to take a bath. At this time, several witches were still sitting in the pool.

Lawrence was not obsessed with taking a bath every day. He simply sat on the stone bench under the shower and let the three dark elf maids help him bathe.

While enjoying the services of the three dark elves, Lawrence was thinking about taking a bath.

I simply rub my body with soap and hot water every day, but I always feel like something is missing.

shampoo!

"Candice, how did you wash your hair when you were in the South?"

Candice was washing Lawrence's hair with both hands. After hearing this, she said: "Boiling water with a kind of leaf is the same as the sword-leaf grass here. It is not as good as the soap you made, master."

Lawrence felt that washing his hair with soap was unsightly and the effect was too poor.

After thinking carefully, Lawrence said: "Actually, the endless ale can be used to wash your hair."

Salil was enjoying herself when she heard Lawrence's stupid words.

"How can we not finish the ale? There is not enough ale at the foot of the mountain. Even if we use all the food to make wine, there will not be enough ale to drink."

Lawrence admitted that Salil was right. Ale was a hard currency in this area and was more popular than gold and silver coins.

Even now, there is a limit on ale drinking in the territory, and the soldiers cannot enjoy the freedom of ale.

Lawrence quickly thought of milk.

Can you take a bath and wash your hair with milk?

It seems too wasteful...

There are not many cows now, and there are more and more children in the territory, so more milk powder is needed to reserve for emergencies.

Milk bath... you can do it, but you definitely can't do it every day.

Use it next time you're showing off, but don't use it normally.

You can't tell Salil and the others, otherwise they will definitely try.

"Khalan, aren't there any herbs you've researched that can wash your hair and are better for your hair?"

Seeing that the matter was thrown at him, Kehalan accepted it seriously.

Washing hair is indeed something that everyone is interested in, and Kharan is also interested in doing this.

"I haven't thought about it here. I will try it in the spring."

Lawrence has advanced technical heritage and can provide a lot of reference opinions to help Kehalan avoid detours.

"Khalan, we need a liquid shampoo that can make the hair smooth and can be quickly washed away by water. It also has a nourishing effect on the hair and can make the hair healthier."

Khalan retorted: "How can something that washes off so easily be good for your hair? It's all gone."

"It's like a perfume, a floral effect," Lawrence added.

Kohalan thought for a few seconds.

"I'll give it a try. It just so happens that I haven't brewed any potion for a long time."

Lawrence suddenly thought that traditional witches seemed to be a group of witches who brewed strange potions. Among the many witches around him, was there only one traditional witch?

Sariel, Sophia, and Delenn, these are all half-blood witches in the witch perception, and they are minor characters.

There are exactly three pure-blood witches, Lathander, Kohalan, and Catherine.

Fire, life, transformation.

Lathander was also interested in Khalan's crucible potion, "I'll help you."

"Okay." Kehalan also needs the help of a flame master.

After Lawrence handed over the task of shampoo to Kehalan, he ignored the matter. The shampoo was just the icing on the cake. What was needed most now was the ship crafting technology.

After taking a shower, Lawrence went directly back to the house without continuing to rest in the hall, where his energy was drained by several dark elves.

Lawrence sat at the desk and began to write down some arrangements for next year and organize his thoughts in advance.

After coming to this world, my various memories of the earth became increasingly blurry. As I came up with various "guidances" again and again, there were fewer and fewer things I could think of.

I have been thinking about ship technology for a long time but I can't figure it out. The current technology cannot develop steam ships, and I don't understand sailing technology.

Compass, paper making, printing, gunpowder.

Lawrence had long wanted to make gunpowder, but could not find sulfur and saltpeter.

Sophia's ability is to discover metallic substances, sulfur and saltpeter are minerals, and Sophia does not recognize these two things at all.

"Next year, try looking for sulfur near the volcano. For saltpeter... let's plant saltpeter in the hometown of the Cloda people."

Saltpeter is suitable for producing in toilets and other places. As long as you simulate the way saltpeter is produced in nature and create a similar environment, you can produce saltpeter.

For example, dig a few trenches in the mountains, pull excess feces into the trenches, and then put some loose branches, leaves, plant ash and other things on top, and lay them layer by layer.

Regularly irrigate with some dilute farmyard manure to keep the soil soft. After a while, dig out the feces mixture and put it into a bucket. Pour some clean water and let it settle for a while. Then you will get a nitrate-containing liquid, which can then be processed like sun salt. You can get saltpeter.

Saltpeter can be obtained by planting, but sulfur can only be picked up from the mountains. There should be a lot of it in the mountains.

Growing saltpeter is a long-term process that may take more than a year, is temporarily unavailable, and is very labor-intensive and fertile.

The gunpowder produced has not improved over decades, nor can it reach the level of later generations.

The main problem at present is the lack of people, the lack of slaves who can do the work!

So we still have to hit the Kingdom of Waves next spring, and Lawrence needs some people to do the dirty work.

Lawrence had roughly decided on his plans for next year, and felt a little sleepy so he planned to go to bed.

"It's strange, why did Sariel and the others take so long to take a shower? Didn't they faint from soaking in the bath?"

Lawrence quickly went downstairs to the bathroom and smelled the smell of ale as soon as he entered the bathroom lounge.

Oops!

Lawrence quickly walked into the bathroom and found that several witches were washing their hair with ale!

"You are wasting food!" Lawrence loudly accused Salil and others of their shameful behavior.

Salil said happily: "It's true! Lawrence, what you said is true. It's really comfortable to wash your hair with ale. I washed it four times!"

Lawrence said angrily: "Stop your milk supply for three days! And goat milk! And honey!"

While scrubbing her hair, Salil muttered: "What does it matter? You don't drink ale. We have too much ale to drink."

Let’s not say there isn’t enough ale at this time.

"You must be the leader!" Lawrence accused Salil without any evidence, and then said to Candice, who was standing aside and did not participate: "They are not allowed to do this without my permission in the future!"

Candice was worried that Lawrence would be angry so she did not participate. At this time, she quickly said: "Yes, Master."

Sophia was obedient and didn't say anything. Anyway, Salil had already attracted all the firepower away.

Lawrence said angrily: "I'm going to spank you hard today, Derren, Kharan, hold her hand down for me later! Catherine and Sophia are holding Salil's legs!"

Salil looked scared, "What are you going to do?"

"Let you know how powerful I am!" Lawrence said viciously.

Soon Lawrence went back to the bedroom. After the five witches entered the house at night, they soon joined forces to bully Sariel.

There is no need to wear clothes at home during the long night. (End of chapter)
