Mountain and Forest Kingdom

port of dume

Most of the crew and sailors have disembarked, and the ships docked on the shore are conducting transactions.

The Oak and several large ships sailed into the dock near the shipyard for repairs. Several Western merchant ships were docked at the vacant dock.

Merchants in Dumu Port and Ice Port are talking to these captains to learn about the goods on board and their sales intentions.

After we've finished talking, we'll go to a nearby pub for a drink.

There will also be profiteers who deceive outsiders, and nearby port patrols will check back and forth. Businessmen who do business in violation of regulations will be caught and fined.

Usually businessmen who come here will learn about the situation in advance from experienced businessmen and come here when they are ready.

After more times, the interactions will become more frequent.

Because of the slow transmission of news, the Kingdom of Stars is still an unheard name in many places.

The Oak's move south not only brought a large number of laborers, but more importantly, opened the door to the country and convinced Western businessmen that this was a safe place.

Powerful military power and excellent governance capabilities, as well as mysterious and powerful power.

A large number of businessmen and nobles have become curious about this mysterious place in the north, and gradually there is a trend of coming here to study and do business.

When most of the nobles went to rest in taverns and churches, and a large number of workers were led to work in salt drying fields and farms and fisheries, a group of people got off a large boat near the rear.

"All the bastards from the Gran Kingdom are gone!"

The nobles of the Wave Kingdom had just gotten off the boat.

As soon as a man cursed in the language of the Wave Kingdom, two smiling men came nearby.

"What do you want? Do you want money in exchange?"

Lehman spoke to these people in Durila, but found that they did not understand, so he asked his assistant to greet them.

The clerk was from the Hokuriku Kingdom and was responsible for working for the businessman Lehman. The early Valkyries captured many slaves from the west, so they also had their own private property.

Lawrence did not abolish slavery, which led to some people to enjoy these benefits, such as the slave owners of Sidel and Valkyrie.

People who have their own land and houses are not slaves, and merchants who own their own slaves are not slaves. At present, the Kingdom of Stars still maintains the rules of the Kingdom of Luofen in many aspects, and many places still need time to be dealt with slowly.

The two sides couldn't understand what the other was saying, and soon a wizard from the Wave Kingdom stared at Rayman.

Lehman's brain was hit by electric current, and his whole body trembled violently. He instantly realized that he was not facing ordinary businessmen and nobles, but some kind of powerful and dangerous existence!

"Take us to a quiet place to rest!"

The wizard gave an order to Rayman.

His ability is not control, but it is violent enough to create fear in Leman's heart.

Violence is the lingua franca of most areas. With the help of some sailors on the ship who knew the language, these people quickly became familiar with the specific situation here.

Two wizards and three witches from the Kingdom of Waves entered a restaurant in the port to dine. The boss here had long been used to the arrival of foreigners, and he skillfully served a plate of scrambled eggs with cabbage, bread and ale.

As long as there's only one kind of food, you don't have to worry about ordering.

The people in Wave Kingdom, like many businessmen, had no objection to the food served by the boss.

Several wizards quickly sat together and began to understand the situation here, and by the way, they had a lunch of anything as long as it was not seafood.

After eating, I bought some more and went to the boat. Lehman was also hired on the boat.

In the evening, the people in the Wave Kingdom knew Lawrence's arrangements for them.

"The owner here agreed to take us in and send us to work in his shipyard!"

"This is humiliating us!"

"No, at least it's better than starting as a slave. Everyone here seems to have started as a slave. We are different."

"Then what should we do now? Go to work in the shipyard? I won't go."

"Don't worry, I've inquired. Strength is respected here. As long as you show strong strength, you will be reused. We can directly challenge Crow Feather Prophet and let him know our strength!"

"You will die if you do that. I have asked. This wizard is very cruel. Regardless of whether they are wizards or witches, anyone who provokes him will be killed."

"Then let's challenge the governor here, or let our knights challenge these barbarians who only have fists in their minds. As long as we show strong strength, we can gain territory here."

"After we become leaders here, we can fight back with powerful barbarians in the future, take revenge on the Kingdom of Gran, and kill them all!"

"Rabbi La is right, we can do this."

***

Lawrence quickly understood the meaning of Beoff's words a while ago.

How easy it would be if all problems in this world could be solved by fighting and fists only.

Lawrence stood in the church and looked thoughtfully at the scenery outside the door.

"So, those people from the Wave Kingdom want to challenge Beow and Crete to prove that they are stronger than the Baron of Valkyrie?"

Seravan nodded and said, "That's true, but Crete refused, and Beow accepted the challenge, but lost."

Lawrence sighed, and then looked at Seravan with a calm expression.

"Call Beow back, send two hundred and fifty warriors to Valkyrie, capture those wizards to see me, and warn them before arresting them. If they dare to resist, they will be killed on the spot!"

Seravan lowered his head, "Yes, Master."

Lawrence looked at Seravan, "Is there someone challenging you?"

Seravan lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Yes, Master, I refused."

Lawrence couldn't understand, and sat on the chair looking helpless.

"People outside have a big misunderstanding of us. Strength is respected? The strong is supreme? No! That's never been the case here!"

"We, the Church of the Stars, are a family that loves each other. We are a kind and friendly group of people who like to learn and make progress. We are not barbarians."

Lawrence became more and more angry as he spoke, "Even among barbarians, there is no rule that whoever is stronger becomes the boss, and there is no rule that if you challenge the boss with your fists and win, you can become the boss! Otherwise, Count Valkyrie of the previous generation would have been killed long ago. Beat him to death!"

"Rules! System!" Lawrence shouted to the weak Seravan: "What makes us strong is not a single person, but the system and rules, as well as everyone's efforts and contributions."

"Whether it's Beow or the other berserkers in Valkyrie, or you and the other managers, it's not you who are so powerful. It's me and the rest of the Church of the Stars who believe in you, and that's why you use me and theirs. strength."

"An outsider who has made no contribution to our place and only relies on his fists wants to be the leader of our brothers and sisters and order the rest?"

"Tell everyone that our managers and nobles here are not allowed to accept challenges from outsiders, and they will not lose their current positions just because the competition fails."

If you defeat your own men, can they become your own men?

So if they defeat me, I will give up my position as the boss to them?

The more Lawrence thought about it, the angrier he became. He pointed at Seravan and said, "You personally lead the people to catch them and let these people know what real power is!"

"Yes, Master!" Seravan quickly went down to mobilize soldiers, this time leading Lawrence's Holy Corps.

Lawrence had five regiments at his command.

The garrison corps, the guard corps, the expedition corps, the security corps, and the sacred corps composed of elite warriors.

Several wizards chose the right opponent. If they had chosen to challenge Lawrence at the beginning, they would definitely be dead by now.

Lawrence seems to be kind, but he is only kind internally and has always been cruel externally. (End of chapter)
