Mountain and Forest Kingdom

The cold sea breeze blew on the edge of the bustling port pier. Men in gray and white sweaters and leather jackets carried bags of wheat towards a nearby warehouse.

The crowds withstood the cold wind, and there seemed to be hundreds of people on the entire pier.

On the clean streets outside the pier, you can see women and children wearing rabbit skin hats, and you can also see some businessmen walking through the streets with Dom sheep.

In the winter, Dom sheep grow warm wool, and some people will deliberately walk on the side of Dom sheep to avoid the cold wind.

Fortunately, the cold wind is much lessened after entering the city. There are no city walls here, and the designers used houses and big trees as barriers.

It not only resists external intrusion, but also resists the approach of cold wind.

A group of foreigners in cloaks stepped off the big boat at the pier. Their boat was not the style here. It was more like a boat reserved for nobles and women, and it looked more delicate and compact.

Seven foreigners in cloaks stood on the dock looking at this rough and exquisite town, looking at the surrounding buildings.

Most of the buildings in the docks and towns are made of wood, and there are also many tall buildings made of bricks and stones.

The leader is a man, wearing a dark red aristocratic uniform. The wool shirt, knitted jacket and thick fluffy cloak can be seen underneath. There is a bear head emblem embroidered at the heart of the jacket.

Nicklu, the nobleman of the Xiong family in the Kingdom of Io, is the leader of the diplomatic team this time.

After stepping into this legendary fertile land for the first time, all Nicolu felt was the ruthless cold.

Nicolu led the rest of the people towards the tavern quickly. Before arriving at the tavern, various sign shops on both sides of the street also came into view.

Bakery, clothes shop, spice shop, drug store, general store, warehouse, bank, church, weapons shop, armor shop, garage, hospital...

Nicklu and others quickly found the tavern.

The curtain at the entrance of the tavern is painted with patterns of wine glasses and barrels, making it obvious that this is a tavern.

It felt much better after entering. It was much warmer inside the tavern than outside.

Nicklu raised his head and looked at the five-meter-high tavern. The space inside was very large, like five or six long rooms connected together.

The waitress in the tavern was taking care of the other tables with plates, and when she felt someone coming in, she looked over.

"What would you like to order?"

The woman next to Nicklu put down the fur hat that protected her ears and hair, revealing her delicate fair face.

Dignified and luxurious, charming and elegant, she looks like a female aristocrat at a noble banquet.

The waitress was visibly stunned by the beauty of this beautiful woman.

Beauty always goes anywhere, Audrey said elegantly: "I need some hot food."

The waitress responded quickly, "Okay, that will be soon."

The seven of them walked toward a long table near the wall, most of them gathered near the stove, where it was warmer.

The temperature near the wall was slightly lower, and the waiter quickly brought a brazier to illuminate and keep warm.

Nicolu and a few others sat down near the table and looked around quietly.

"Dalu, go see what those people are standing there looking at."

"yes."

A male noble quickly walked out, and many people nearby gathered around the tavern's bulletin board to check various tasks.

…

Various notices filled the rather small bulletin board.

Soon Nicklu and others learned about the situation here.

Audrey, who had a beautiful face and the mind of a noble lady, smiled, and her pair of amber snake eyes glowed with a strange light.

"It seems like what Alekmu said, there is a shortage of people here."

"That's true." Nicklu looked at the quiet woman next to Audrey, "Dalian, what business are you planning to do?"

Sitting next to Audrey was another woman, the last woman among the seven, Darian, a noble lady from the Yu family.

Dalian kept a polite smile, "I haven't thought about it yet, I plan to take a look again."

There are five great nobles in the Kingdom of Io. The king's line is from the Xiong family, and this time Nicolu is a child of the king's family.

Audrey belongs to the Snake Family, which runs the slave trade and brothels.

The Yu family manages the port routes of rivers and seas and operates commerce.

The Lizard family is a warrior family with a large number of ranches and blacksmith shops, and they also capture some slaves and sell them.

The Bird family is a civil servant aristocracy, which is equivalent to the civil service system.

It was not that there were five major families at the beginning, but people engaged in various major businesses united together, and the largest of them merged with the rest to form the mountain nobles.

Nicolu whispered: "It doesn't look like there are only two thousand people here. They say that there are only more than ten thousand people in the Kingdom of the Stars. I don't think so."

Audrey showed a contemptuous smile. Under her charming face, even this expression gave people a sexy temperament.

Dalian, a quiet and beautiful woman next to her, said politely: "I heard that there are more than 30,000 people here. Not long ago, a large piece of land was added here."

Several people started chatting, basically Nick Lu and Audrey were chatting, and the rest of the people rarely interrupted.

After enjoying a rumored meal, a few people went to browse the shops and streets here, standing on the top of the mountain and watching the porters in the distance who were reclaiming the sea to create a harbor.

Dumu Harbor itself is not suitable for large ships to dock, and there is no harbor to protect ships in wind and rain.

Lawrence inserted a large number of wooden piles into the sea, and then sunk a large number of stones to fuse them. He relied on a combination of witchcraft and manpower to build a harbor like wings surrounded by arms.

At present, Deren has only fixed the stones in a small part of the area, and the rest are gradually improved by artificial means to build stronger tidal walls to protect the ships inside.

Afforestation was also started, not for wood but for wind protection.

However, this seemingly reasonable and simple thing is very unreasonable and outrageous in the eyes of the messenger team of the Kingdom of Io!

"The prophets of the Church of the Stars can turn the sea into wheat fields, turn the beach into a bay, and turn the frozen soil covered with ice and snow into fertile and sweet land!"

Nicklu said that he once didn't believe the rumors, but now it's all happening in front of his eyes, and he has seen it all!

Although the bay has not yet been fully built, it has basically taken a rough shape.

As for the rest, not only Nicklu believed it at this time, but everyone around him also believed it!

"Great power." Audrey praised her heartily.

At the same time, he also became curious about the prophet here, the young prophet who was rumored to be powerful, handsome, kind and kind.

An absolute power so powerful that all the Western and Southern countries surrender!

Defeat the powerful Holy Light Church and conquer the once arrogant barbarian kingdom!

At the same time, it spreads God's mercy to more places and provides a place of refuge for many people in darkness and suffering.

Dalian looked at the prosperous harbor town at the foot of the mountain and said with emotion: "This is the place where the wings of Prophet Crow Feather shelter, and it is just one of them."

Audrey quickly looked in another direction, "It's time for us to leave. Let's go to the legendary town of Pumexiu and Oak City where the prophet lives to meet that gentleman."

oak city

Lawrence counted the days on the calendar with a genuine smile on his face.

“There are only three days until the party!”

"There is nothing much to do this year. Everything I need to do has been arranged in advance. This winter I will just play at home all day long!"

However, just when Lawrence was happy, Candice came to the door.

"Master, the envoy from the Kingdom of Io has arrived in Pumixiu Town. There are two witches and a wizard inside."

Lawrence felt very bad, "It's something that needs to be dealt with again. What is the ability of the witch this time?"

The slaves purchased a few days ago have been handed over to Bull for care, along with Clara and Finn. They are familiar with the life of witches and know how to take care of children.

Heidi's water ability is of little use at the moment, and she mainly focuses on learning the language here.

Candice quickly gave a general description.

"Miss Audrey of the Snake family has the ability to charm, and can make people who are not very conscious become obsessed with her and obey her orders."

"Miss Darian from the Yu family has the ability to summon wind."

Lawrence became worried after hearing about the charm ability and disliked this kind of witch.

"What ability does that wizard have?"

Candice replied: "The wizard is Nicolu, the prince of the royal family of the Kingdom of Io. He has the body and strength of a high-level knight, and also has a shield to resist spells. It can resist the wizard's spells, but it is said that it cannot block too many javelins and arrows. Stone."

As a wizard, Nicolu possesses much more powerful combat power than a witch.

With his strong strength and physique, as well as the protective ability similar to his stance, coupled with the military guards that he can mobilize as a prince, he has almost no shortcomings.

Lawrence couldn't help but be a little jealous, if only I had such a perfect configuration.

"Let them come."

Lawrence planned to meet, and at the same time, he called several witches to protect him and prevent accidents from happening.

Candice quickly went to inform someone.

Lawrence thought for a moment and did not meet anyone in the conference room. Instead, he asked Kharan and Lathander to protect him, and let Salil and Sophia play cards and bask in the sun under the big oak tree.

Catherine and Cassandra were on the left and right as maids, Candice and other dark elves with high resistance were as maids, and guards with relatively high combat effectiveness were also mobilized to stand guard at the door.

When the envoy from the Kingdom of Io put down his weapons and walked in, he saw the huge oak tree and the young king leisurely drinking tea under the big oak tree.

From the perspective of these people, Lawrence happened to be drinking a cup of hot tea that seemed to have just been poured, and he was reading carefully with a book in his hand.

The sun shone on this warm land. As soon as Audrey and the others got within five meters of Lawrence, they saw this imposing prophet looking towards them.

Nicklu couldn't feel Lawrence's power, but he certainly wouldn't regard this genuine man as an ordinary person.

Everyone knows how powerful this Crow Feather Prophet is, and in front of him, Nicklu feels tremendous pressure!

"Merciful prophet, on behalf of the Kingdom of Io, I thank you for your technical support. You are kind enough to share God's gift with us. My father expresses his gratitude to you!"

Nicolu knelt down first and saluted.

Lawrence's deep eyes quickly became gentle, "Get up, I'm glad that you have fed more people. This is something to be happy about."

Lawrence talked to Nicolu, trying not to look at the other two witches.

Especially one of them, which uses charm magic, looks very dangerous.

The two sides quickly chatted for a few words, and Lawrence soon said: "My family and I are enjoying the leisure time of afternoon tea. You may be a little nervous meeting me, but don't be nervous. It is the first time for many people." This is the case here, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

Lawrence smiled and reassured the dangerous person opposite, telling him not to be nervous.

Nicklu said gratefully: "Thank you, kind prophet, I am indeed a little nervous."

Lawrence said to Nicklu: "It will be winter here in a few days. You may not be able to adapt to your life. If you don't mind, you can stay at the church in Pumexiu Town during this period."

"For cooperation matters, you can just negotiate with Cassandra. I need to feel God's grace right now. I will leave all government affairs to Cassandra."

Cassandra beside Lawrence nodded to Nicklu and others. This pure-blood witch looked heroic and more powerful than Audrey and Dalian.

Compared with business, God's things are of course more important. Nicklu said quickly: "Yes, we hope to live in Pumixiu Town until next spring."

"Of course." Lawrence agreed gently.

Nicklu and others quickly resigned and left this dangerous place.

Not long after she walked out of the ring building, Audrey said with a look of reluctance: "It's really disappointing. My beauty is no worse than those witches, but that adult didn't even look at me. Am I so unattractive?" ?”

Dalian thought about what had just happened seriously, "This prophet is not an ordinary wizard. He seems not to take us seriously at all. He probably thinks that the seven of us together are not enough for one of his fingers." Degree."

Nicolu agreed very much with this statement, "Yes, I can feel that he has not released any witchcraft energy and does not bother to show any power in front of us."

The follower Bandaru next to him said: "This benevolent prophet does not like to use violence. Unless he is angered, he will summon the stone giant to flatten the enemy!"

Nicklu and others have all seen the Prophet Colossus in Phumexiu Town. The giant, which is more than 100 meters tall, is only half of its body. They dare not imagine what kind of terrifying existence the real stone giant will be when it stands up from the earth.

Even the kingdom outside can't stop the trampling of this stone giant!

The Star Kingdom is now the most powerful kingdom in the eyes of a few people, and Lawrence's image is becoming more and more indestructible.
