Mountain and Forest Kingdom

The short summer is coming soon, and it’s the hottest time of the year.

Lawrence was doing carpentry work in the church yard of Pumexiu Town, which was just behind the Crowfeather Colossus and was not as sunny as other places.

Safi and other international students were helping, along with Delen and Sophia.

Sofia squatted aside and used a brush to clean her small leather shoes. She had returned to the proud style of a female aristocrat since a few years ago and did not work much.

Lawrence is making a more luxurious sheep carriage. As a prophet, he must maintain high standards. The temperament of sitting in the carriage will be much different than riding on a unicorn.

Also, there is no problem with letting the black unicorn carry him. It would be unreasonable if he had to be the coolie for others every time he went out.

The carts are mainly pulled by Dom sheep or oxen.

"Lawrence, I brought the wheel!"

Salil appeared at the courtyard gate with two wheels in her hand.

The wheels were wide circles made of wood. Salil pushed one wheel with each hand and ran from a distance.

Lawrence, who was assembling the frame, looked at Salil and was surprised by Salil's skills.

Pushing the wheels with both hands at the same time can also ensure that the two wheels do not deflect and keep moving in a straight line. This skill is not something that ordinary people can do.

Although I can't think of any uses for this technology, it is indeed very powerful.

Sariel grabbed the rotating wheels with both hands and lowered the two wheels next to Lawrence.

"Well, just leave it here, and help me lift the frame later when I assemble the axle."

"good!"

Salil quickly stood aside and watched Lawrence and the others working. Delen was responsible for carving the car body patterns. In addition to controlling the soil and rocks, Delen was also a good artist.

Lawrence is also a very good carpenter, and everyone is versatile.

The international students were placing various parts in special places according to the drawings, and this time Lawrence was in charge of the demonstration.

When he was bored, Lawrence looked for something to talk about.

"Safie, you mainly learned how to repair wooden carts. It would not be good to stay indoors all the time in summer and autumn here."

"I allow you to make your own single-axle wooden cart with a length of 1.2 meters and a width of 1.2 meters. With your wages for the past few months, you can also rent my Dom sheep and deer. Then you can take the cart wherever you want."

"Currently, all the land within a day's drive here belongs to me. As long as I don't encounter wild animals in the forest and don't run for a day, the rest will be fine."

When Safi and other foreign students, nuns and priests heard this, they looked happy.

It is indeed a bit boring here. I usually feel a bit too small just in the town.

"Yes, thank you, prophet of mercy!"

Safi thanked Lawrence on behalf of everyone. Because of Count Garp's relationship, Safi was very valued here.

Lawrence continued to chat with the men as he worked.

"This is the income from your labor. Whether you contribute knowledge or physical strength, it is all labor."

Just when he was about to promote the benefits of labor to these people, Dora came in from outside.

"Master, King Signar II of the Hokuriku Kingdom has arrived with a gift and is at Dumu Port."

After hearing this, Lawrence put down what he was doing, stood up and said to everyone: "Pack up and prepare to meet new friends."

"Heim, come and translate for me."

Lawrence looked at a male noble in his thirties or forties, who was an overseas student from the Hokuriku Kingdom.

"Yes, Prophet." Heim responded respectfully.

No one expected that a king would come, and the biggest ones before were the marquis and the elders.

The elders of Green Forest Kingdom should be equivalent to dukes.

As the first king to arrive, Lawrence gave Signor II enough respect, asked the kitchen to quickly prepare a banquet-sized dinner, and then entered the church to change into clean and decent clothes.

The surrounding international students also received a new piece of clothing, which was deducted from their wages.

Sariel saw busy Lawrence and many maids running around preparing and decorating the place.

"Lawrence, I want to wash my hair." Salil took the opportunity to make excessive demands.

"Wash away."

Salil quickly went to waste money, and Lawrence looked at Catherine and Derren Sophia who were also following, and did not stop him at this time.

This is a matter of face, not a waste.

I previously received the prince of Haisenri Kingdom. Prince Haisori's wife Perrin is the princess of Hokuriku Kingdom. In addition, she has a good relationship with the Marquis of York of Hokuriku Kingdom. Hokuriku Kingdom is also the nearest neighbor, and the two sides are very close. Need to meet.

But as a king, isn't it too risky to personally come to this barbarian's territory?

Lawrence was a little curious about this Signer II and couldn't think of a reason for him to take the risk.

If it is to strengthen relations, it is enough to send an envoy or a prince.

Lawrence suddenly remembered something and quickly called Heim.

"Does King Signar have any heirs?"

Heim bent down and replied: "Yes, there is a Princess Perrin who married the prince of Haisenli."

Now things are simple and clear.

Lawrence soon met the king of the Hokuriku Kingdom.

There were more than a hundred people in the king's party. In addition to King Signer and Queen Tamar, there was also an old witch who looked very powerful.

Lawrence led everyone into the decorated banquet hall.

The floor here is as smooth as a mirror, a large number of candles are lit in the hall of the wide and tall wooden house, and more than forty maids wearing the same maid costume stand on both sides of the road.

After everyone sat down around a long table, the Signal Messenger team sitting on the left quickly saw the lineup on the right intuitively.

It seems that Lathander, who is forty years old, has a very young appearance in this era, probably equivalent to being in his thirties in this era.

The rest of Sophia, Catherine, Delenn, Khalan and others are all rare beauties.

Sophia is a blonde beauty, Delenn is a wild and sexy jungle girl, Kharan is a plus-size beauty, and Catherine is a cool and iceberg tall beauty with long black hair.

Salil is actually beautiful, but her temperament is different. She has a very ordinary, neighborly temperament.

"It's time to serve."

Lawrence reminded the maid next to him softly.

"Yes, Master." Emma quickly took two steps back and nodded to the maid not far away.

The maid in the distance whispered something to the maid waiting at the kitchen door, and then the maid went in to prepare.

What is clearly stated in one sentence is divided into three steps. This is the aristocratic style.

But it worked. From the eyes and expressions of the king and his wife, it can be seen that they were shocked!

The contrast in strength between the two sides is very obvious. The contrast in temperament, clothing, hairstyle, and nervous or natural expressions is all obvious.

Lathander asked the witch opposite her: "I am the witch of fire, my sister, who are you?"

The wrinkled old witch opposite slowly opened her mouth, revealing the few remaining asymmetrical teeth.

"I am the witch of ice, Ice Unad."

Lawrence didn't smell the stench of an older witch, so the other party shouldn't be old, but was aging due to poor living standards.

Soon the first side dish was served.

Garlic kelp

A dish of seaweed was placed in front of everyone.

Lawrence took the initiative to pick up the knife and fork and took a bite, "Let's get started."

Salil and others quickly took a piece of it with a fork and put it in their mouths.

The translator opposite and the king and his wife and others translated, and then the people of the Hokuriku Kingdom also began to learn to eat.

After just a few bites, the second dish was served.

Fruit milk salad platter

Lawrence simply took a bite.

The third dish came two minutes later, fried boneless chicken.

There were three pieces of boneless chicken dipped in honey, but Lawrence still only ate one piece.

Mr. and Mrs. Signer, the old witch, and many others, even the maid on Lawrence's side, have never eaten this kind of boneless chicken.

There were no bones at all, and no hard bones were found after eating it. It was all sweet and tender chicken!

Soon the maid came over and took away the plate of kelp and put down a plate of peeled oven lobster.

The lobster is about the size of a mineral water bottle. With the shrimp lines removed, every bite is filled with the flavor of seasonings and lobster meat.

Everyone didn't have time to say anything and quickly immersed themselves in eating.

Lawrence noticed that the old witch opposite him ate very quickly and quickly used both hands to grab the food, as if she had never eaten before.

The maids kept bringing dishes, and all kinds of delicious food quickly filled everyone's stomachs.

Lawrence quickly said: "How many more dishes are there?"

Emma replied: "Three more."

Lawrence nodded, "Slow down."

"Yes, Master." Emma responded respectfully.

The king and his wife couldn't understand what was being said here. Fortunately, the translator who stood behind him and could only watch and couldn't eat quickly translated Lawrence's words.

Lawrence said to the king and his wife: "I'm glad you can come here. I believe that the Northland Kingdom and the Kingdom of the Stars will become friends."

After hearing what the translator said, Signer quickly expressed his intention.

The translator said to Lawrence: "Dear Your Majesty the Prophet, our king hopes to join the Church of the Stars, and hopes that you can bless the king and queen. We are willing to send a thousand slaves and a city of land in the autumn. "

Lawrence nodded, "Okay, I agree."

Signer showed a happy expression after hearing this and continued to ask questions.

"Dear Your Majesty the Prophet, our king would like to know how many wives a believer in the Church of the Star can marry?"

Lawrence explained gently: "As long as he can afford to support these women and take good care of these women, he can marry as many as he wants. These people will be in one household, that is, one family."

"If she is an unmarried woman, she can also start a family and have multiple husbands, provided that her husband does not have other women."

"No matter men or women, they are not allowed to seduce men and women from other people's families. Only families blessed by the church can be a harmonious family."

Signer listened to the interpreter's explanation and quickly expressed his willingness to join the Church of the Stars.

The purpose of the Church of Dawn is monogamy and does not recognize the existence of illegitimate children.

In this era, which can be roughly regarded as the feudal era, who has more advantages, monogamy or polygamy?

Most of the nobles are either descendants of wizards, or they often hang out with wizards and are seduced by witches, causing problems with their heirs.

Signer wanted to marry more women and leave more heirs, so he had to break free from the rules of the Church of the Dawn.

In the past, everyone believed in the Church of the Dawn, and Signer's country could not resist the canon.

Now that there is a Church of the Stars, you can marry many women and have children after joining. Kings with few heirs naturally choose whom to believe with their feet.

Signer is the embodiment of the will of many nobles in this era. These nobles whose families have inherited royal thrones, estates, manors and titles are crazy about having sons.

The system of monogamy is indeed an advanced and civilized system, but it does not mean that monarchs of various countries like this thing.

Those who are advanced are not necessarily the best, and those who are backward and ignorant are not necessarily eliminated.

Lawrence soon blessed the Signers in public and accepted them as members of the Church of the Stars.

Although he accepted Signa's benefits, Lawrence also knew that if he did this, the Western Church would definitely fight him.

The conflict between the two churches was irreconcilable.
