Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Lawrence soon returned to the town of Pumexiu.

"Is there anything going on here while I'm away?"

Lawrence sat in the church conference room and asked Emma, ​​Bull, Brielle and others.

A brazier for heating and lighting was burning in the conference room, and a faint light was revealed through the cracks in the windows. It was two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was another common cloudy day.

The floor of the conference room is covered with a woolen carpet, and the female workers have enough time and patience to weave various patterns on it.

Three white candles were burning on the conference table. They were candles made of beeswax and were also consumables favored by churches and nobles.

Emma and others changed into black and white nun uniforms and sat respectfully on the left and right sides of the long table looking at the man at the end.

Brielle first told about her troubles.

"Those overseas students handed over a lot of music and techniques, but no one here understands them yet. We can only wait for you, Prophet, to come back."

Lawrence felt much relieved, and Brielle said these things proved that the rest of the problems were not serious.

The cold winter is a cruel lash to the Ice Sea region, but it is also a hardening without discrimination. Unless there is something wrong with the minds of those invaders in the cold winter, they will never choose this time to attack.

"I will check this matter one by one. Is there anything else besides this matter?"

Emma and others were wondering if there was anything they could report.

Lawrence was only away for half a month, which was not a long period of time, and he could always hear news from the Western Kingdom, so no one was worried about this.

Emma couldn't find anything important to say, so she talked about ordinary things.

"During the time when the master left, there were ten more children in the manor, thirty-five more children in the town, and I heard that there were also many more children in Dumu Port."

"The men in the town got into a fight while drinking and playing cards in the tavern."

"One of the Fleiss' sheep froze to death."

Emma tried hard to find something to say, but things here were very common every day, and she couldn't find anything new and legendary like Lawrence.

It would be nice if Lawrence knew nothing was wrong here.

"Are there any caravans coming during this time?"

Emma said quickly: "No, the eternal night has just passed not long ago. The caravan must wait for the snow to melt and the water on the ground to dry up before coming."

Lawrence leaned back on his chair and looked at the roof of the conference room, "That's good. Brielle will sort out the suggestions from those international students and give them to me. I will go to the mountains to rest for a night today, and I will solve things here in the town before departure tomorrow."

Brielle said, "Can I give it to you tomorrow?"

"Okay." Lawrence stood up, picked up the cloak and put it on, "There is still some time until spring, take advantage of these few days to rest well, otherwise spring will be very busy and there will be things to take care of everywhere."

"Yes, Master."

Everyone returned to the manor. As soon as they saw the manor house, Salil couldn't wait to run out quickly.

"Hurry up! Go back and take a shower!"

Salil, who had not taken a shower for more than half a month, ran excitedly towards the house.

Sofia also followed excitedly. She had not washed her hair for a long time during this period, and her beautiful long golden hair was forced to be tied into a ponytail. She also wore a hat most of the time, making her hair look very boring.

Lawrence and Deren Catherine followed in, and at this time several dark elf maids had come out to greet them.

The manor has not changed at all compared to when I left.

The refrigerator outside the door, the lumberyard in the distance, and the familiar faces I saw after entering the house.

No change is the best change!

Lawrence quickly relaxed and began to enjoy the comfortable days that he had not experienced for a long time.

bathroom

Lawrence lay on the water bed and let the dark elf give him a bath. Catherine and other witches took a bath in the bath not far away.

Luosanda also took a bath together and helped to warm the water temperature.

Lawrence lay comfortably on the wooden bed covered with cowhide, closing his eyes and relaxing his body.

The lying waterbed is not only waterproof, but also easy to clean. The plaster rubbed off the body can fall to the ground with just a wash, and then be washed into the drain.

Salil sank into the hot water pool with her nose down, enjoying the comfortable experience of being scalded by hot water all over her body.

Kehalan sat carelessly in the water leaning against the pool, holding the pool with one hand and a wine glass in the other as he slowly tasted the newly brewed wine.

Lathander looked at Lawrence. At this time, Lawrence had already finished bathing. After being rinsed by two basins of hot water, the dark elf was sitting on him to help soap him.

Lathander asked: "Why didn't you come from the north this time?"

Lawrence knew that Lathander was talking about glaciers, so he explained that the glaciers downstream had melted and it was impossible to travel upstream from the ice.

Lathander felt a little pity.

"In this case, only winter can use this road in the future?"

"If this road can be used in spring, summer, and autumn, it will be very convenient to enter the West in the future, and there will be no need to take such a dangerous sea route."

Lawrence knew that Lathander cared about him and knew how important his safety was.

"Yes." Lawrence opened his eyes, just in time to see Candice standing in front of him and leaning over to help him apply soap, and he felt better and better.

Lawrence closed his eyes again and smiled: "There are too many things going on this year. When the upper reaches of the river freeze in winter, I will find a way to dig a river and divert the rivers from the north into our river."

"In this way, the river in the north will be cut off, and the river downstream of us will rise. However, this project is relatively large, and if it fails, the entire downstream will be flooded."

Several witches were stunned by Lawrence's amazing idea.

Change the course of a river?

Sophia felt that this method was a bit too shocking.

"Master, as long as we block the river, will people be able to leave the river?"

"No." Lawrence knew the difficulty of this very well. "I'm just providing an idea. If there is no water, the ground will be like an ordinary mountain road, full of potholes. Even in winter, it will be impossible to walk."

"We can get through the winter because the river freezes and creates a relatively flat ice road. If there is no water, there will naturally be no ice."

"The water in the river must be flowing downwards. After the farming work is completed in the spring, we will send people to survey the nearby mountains and rivers to calculate the approximate height. We will think about specific methods after we have a complete sample."

Lathander thought about Lawrence's suggestion and quickly agreed with Lawrence's decision.

"The river water can be diverted downstream to the outside of Cloda Mountain. When the fire there erupts in the future, the river can protect us from being harmed by the magma."

Lawrence quickly opened his eyes, showing a surprised look, "Will that volcano erupt?"

Luosanda explained: "No, there was no volcano there originally. I have been practicing flames in the village for a long time. I am a little afraid that the flames I create will burn the land and lead to the flames in the mountains."

Lawrence felt that the surface of the earth should not be burned through so easily. Lathander's flames did not last long. At most, they would only last for a few years like the poisonous mountain in Kohalan due to the accumulation of energy.

The flame lasts many times less time than the poisonous gas, otherwise there would be no need to waste so much fuel at home.

"It makes sense." Lawrence said in order to reassure these people: "It just so happens that I also need more turbulent water flow to drive the furnace and windmill, and use the power of water flow to improve the efficiency of ironmaking."

The manor is actually not suitable for agriculture, but is very suitable for industry.

Rapid rivers, flat ground, enclosed caves.

Especially that cave, as long as the lighting problem is solved, it can be turned into the most luxurious blacksmith workshop!

Although his brain wanted to continue thinking about various serious issues, his tired body and the tempting services of the dark elves made Lawrence quickly indulge in enjoyment again.

Lawrence, who had been holding back for more than half a month, quickly went to the lounge to watch the maid bowing her head and posing.
