Mountain and Forest Kingdom

The large army set out from the darkness, stepped on the hard glacier, and walked through the wind in the winter night.

In just over ten days, the messenger team seemed to have moved from cold winter to warm spring.

There is no hard ice under our feet, and there is no wind and snow everywhere.

Everyone put the hauled boats into the water, and small boats of seven or eight meters sailed into this dangerous waters full of life.

At first, it felt like entering the quiet and deserted ice water. Gradually, after paddling down for a long time, I saw various swamp creatures.

There are many dangerous animals living in Witch Swamp.

There are dragon flies that fly in on their own initiative. These fist-sized blood-sucking insects make noisy noises when flying, and they especially like to attack sleeping creatures.

There are also swamp piranha flowers that look gorgeous, but are actually ready to open their bloody mouths at any time.

Various lizards can be seen everywhere here, including colorful lizards, small lizards that can fly, big-footed lizards that can escape quickly by stepping on water, and swamp lizards that are half-hidden in the water.

Hall Longlegs reunited with the fleet and cooperated with several wizards in the west to quickly solve various troubles and dangers and go deep into the central area of ​​the swamp to find the legendary swamp witch.

Audrey, who can use charm witchcraft, Nikru, who can use stance protection, Darian, who can summon wind, and Braman, a half-blood wizard from the Kingdom of Gran who can use fireballs.

These people are not the protagonists.

The Pumixiu people used javelins and stones to kill a four- to five-meter-long black water crocodile, and relied on a team of barbarians to scare off a five-meter-tall bipedal flying dragon.

Except for bugs and beasts with bad brains, most of the other swamp predators will run away when they see this group of people.

Because it was troublesome to recover javelins and stones, the barbarian team did not provoke nearby prey and faithfully completed the supreme instructions given by Crowfeather Prophet.

The massive team quickly attracted the attention of the Swamp Witch.

Mist rose in the swamp, and huge monsters appeared in the mist.

The barbarians used their roars to get rid of fear, and relied on their compasses to get rid of the interference of the fog.

Failure to complete the tasks assigned by the prophet is an unacceptable shame to these honor-seeking barbarians.

The swamp witch's tricks failed to scare away these intruders.

This time the people who broke in were no longer the two adventurers, businessmen or spies of the Holy See, but hundreds of determined barbarian warriors.

The fog quickly dissipated, and the barbarian army approached the witch's thatched hut with torches, forcing out three old witches who exuded the stench of corruption.

Their hair is the same gray waterweed color as the surrounding putrid swamps, their noses are as long as a finger, their skin is as loose as tree bark, and they have a pair of sharp long ears. They are short and gnarled, with only one or two teeth left. The lips that looked like dry rock touched each other, looking ugly and terrifying.

The three old witches still wanted to resist, stretching out their hands like chicken claws to release their witchcraft.

A man was quickly controlled, lying on the ground with stiff limbs and became a prisoner of the witch. The witch rode on his neck and stood up as a mount.

The three witches looked at the barbarians in front of them with wild laughter, fully displaying the terror of the witches.

He was quickly beaten to death by several savages, tied up like an animal and thrown into a small boat.

Normally, it would be easy to scare away the others. Even if the controlled person breaks free, he will only run away in terror.

It's a pity that what we encountered today was a group of barbarians.

If you dare to curse me, I will kill your whole family. I will kill you wherever you run away!

oak city

In the afternoon, the sun came out in the sky, and it was a rare good weather with no wind.

People in the Kingdom of Stars like to bask in the sun in this kind of weather, especially women who will sit and chat with their children.

The Lawrence family also moved outside the house and sat on the grass near the oak tree while preparing dinner and chatting in the sun.

Emma came back from Pumexiu Town and saw Lawrence, Salil and others in the atrium.

Lawrence is making a flute, and Saryl appears to be cooking, busy at a wooden table.

Clara, Tim, Heidi and Lolita also sat near the table and helped out.

Salil wore a white turban on her head, like a sailor's hat that covered her hair. Several children nearby also wore white turban hats.

They all look a little silly.

Lawrence was concentrating on making musical instruments, and Salil and others were also concentrating on preparing dinner.

On the table is a cut ice fish, which is a large fish that lives in cold waters. The meat is fragrant and chewy. It is the top fish that the Wakili people like to eat.

Dark Elf Candice controlled the knife with her nimble fingers, cut the ice fish meat into pieces, and moved it into the basin with the blade.

Salil stood in front of the table, holding a knife in both hands and chopping the fish on the cutting board, mincing the fish into finer pieces.

Four children were helping to roll out the dough and carry things.

Lolita looked at the minced meat on the table next to her. Soy sauce and vinegar were added to it, and there were many unknown things.

Lolita just wanted to reach out and touch it. She must have thought so in her heart.

Fortunately, Clara next to her quickly kicked her on the butt and glared at Lolita.

Lolita quickly became honest and continued to help the three elder sisters fold dough together.

Emma saw Tim learning to cook honestly and came over in a good mood.

"Master, this year's spring plowing has been arranged. According to your instructions, soybeans and sugar beets have been planted on the best land."

Lawrence looked at Emma, ​​and he was in a good mood, "Very good, you can wash your hands and help Salil cook."

"Yes, Master." Emma quickly went to wash her hands.

Soybeans are seeds obtained from southern caravans the year before last. In addition to soybeans, there are also red beans, black beans, and green beans.

Sugar beet is a crop sent by Western traders, and Lawrence has been looking for crop seeds, especially crop seeds suitable for the environment here.

With conscious and active collection, merchants from the Western Kingdom brought a large number of crops, and Lawrence found beets like Wozhuang radish from hundreds of crops.

The original beet was not sweet, and was still a wild vegetable in the West.

Sugar beets have not been cultivated yet, and the sugar content is not high. It will take several more generations of cultivation to find sugar beets.

Now when growing sugar beets, the main thing is to learn the techniques and precautions needed to grow this type of sugar beet, and gain planting experience in advance.

Soybeans are similar to what I remember. This year, you can make processed products such as dried tofu, tofu skin, soy milk, soy oil, and tofu.

Soybeans are a substitute for meat, such as dried tofu, soybean skin, soymilk, and soybean oil. They are definitely not as tasty as meat, eggs, and milk.

Lawrence has milk and beef to eat. The emergence of soybeans is mainly for agriculture, not for high-end quality of life.

Therefore, the soybean seeds obtained the year before were planted on a large scale this year.

Lawrence's quality of life is now very high, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Dumplings, dumplings, spring rolls, glutinous rice balls, glutinous rice cakes, egg yolk cakes, glutinous rice cakes, red bean cakes...Lawrence was not in a hurry to take them all out at once.

Like this, one a year, and when you get tired of it, change it.

And there was no need for Lawrence to do anything.

Lawrence continued to make his own musical instruments, and after Emma came out, they helped cook and make dumplings.

No one here likes to eat vegetarian dumplings. Of course, eating dumplings is meat dumplings.

Lawrence has no shortage of beef and mutton to eat. He eats fish to spread the word about dumplings and guide people in the territory to eat fish dumplings. In this way, when the demand for marine resources increases, fishery technology will develop faster.

Fish dumplings and lobster dumplings must be promoted, otherwise it will be too troublesome to deal with the lobsters that wash up on the beach every year.

During dinner in the evening, Luosanda tasted a piece of dumpling and was very satisfied.

"Lawrence, I like eating this dumpling. I will make more in the future."

Compared to rice and bread, Lathander prefers food with soup and meat fillings.

"Okay." Lawrence thought for a moment, "From now on, we will eat twice a week. We still have a lot of delicious food to eat. It will be easy to get bored if we eat it every day."

When Lawrence was full of food and drink, and began to enjoy the singing and dancing performances of the maids, the three old witches were caught in the northern mountains and returned to the frozen land of ice and snow.

They did not see the so-called God-given land, only a cold wilderness. They were monitored by a group of people and dogs as they ate and went to the toilet, and then headed upstream shivering in the cold wind.

The three old witches soon arrived at Oak Mountain, and on the day when the ice and snow melted, they came to Pumexiu Town.

Barbarians, a bunch of barbarians!

Countless savages!

What the three old witches saw were many strong barbarians. This is the country of barbarians!

Under the watchful eyes of the Siders and Valkyries who came to do business, the three old witches were put in cages and taken to Oak City.
