Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Oak City, Lawrence's oak villa.

Lawrence sat in the living room on the deerskin sofa that had been temporarily installed in front of the central staircase.

You can go upstairs through this staircase, and then freely go to the left and right sides of the second floor.

In other words, passing here means truly coming home and integrating into daily life.

Today is the day that Emma and the children officially come back, and Lawrence has prepared rewards for them days in advance.

Not in conference rooms and council chambers because Lawrence didn't want to be so serious.

"Owner!"

Emma and the children knelt on the ground and worshiped the great prophet who sat in front.

The sunlight outside the house shines in from the side window, and shines obliquely on the position in front of Emma and others, making Lawrence's figure look more majestic and thick.

Lawrence looked at the adults and children in front of him, feeling helpless and emotional.

I really didn't want this at first... Lawrence sighed in his heart. In fact, he just wanted a more relaxed life. He didn't want to think about various territorial government affairs every day, nor did he want to think about various interpersonal relationships and the interests of his subordinates all day long.

It would be nice if I could be like that at the beginning, but if I think about it carefully, I was either looked down upon by others or shouldered heavy responsibilities at the beginning.

"You did a great job this time, and I have prepared a reward for you."

Lawrence smiled, "First of all, Emma, ​​look at the reward I gave you."

Emma did not go to war this time, nor did she join the army. After the war, she was ordered by Lawrence to go to Feiyu Port to deal with the rebels.

There was no danger at all, and it didn't take long to go back and forth. He came back as a hero in more than 20 days.

Everyone had no problem with Lawrence's decision, and neither did Emma.

"Thank you very much, kind master!"

The maid beside Lawrence moved a table to the side.

Salil came over with the bill, looked at the bill, and then looked at the decorations on the table.

Twenty skeins of pure wool thread, each weighing about three taels.

Among them, there are ten balls of white thread, three balls of black thread, three balls of red thread, three balls of blue thread, and one ball of pink thread.

In addition to pure wool thread, there are also knitted fabrics, including two pounds of white wool cloth and five pounds of wool and linen mixed cloth.

Fabric is used to make clothes. Both adults and children need strong or beautiful clothes.

In addition to the ball of thread and cloth, there are one hundred copper coins on the table.

This is Emma's reward.

Lawrence looked at the little girls again.

"You all performed very well this time, and I will give you more rewards."

As people who have actually been on the battlefield, the rewards for the five girls are obviously more generous than Emma's.

Sophie was given an iron sword with a scabbard.

Heidi won a beautiful dress and two pounds of beef.

Clara received a pair of sheepskin trousers and a wooden box to hide her clothes.

Lolita received two pounds of orange candies, two pounds of toffee, five pounds of cheese and thirty pounds of beef.

Tim acquired a Dome sheep, and Lawrence allowed Tim to keep a young Dome sheep in the sheep stables of the Ring Building.

Everyone quickly got their rewards. Tim first took the wool and cloth into the maid's room with his mother Emma, ​​and then went to choose the lamb accompanied by his mother and good friends.

"I'm not going." Lolita seriously rejected Tim's invitation, holding a large basket of good treasures and reluctant to leave.

Everyone also knew Lolita's temper and didn't ask her for candy.

Lawrence and Salil moved the sofa back to the distance together, stood up straight and said, "There is also a reward for the beekeeper."

Salil looked at the list on the sofa and looked curious.

"One robe, one pound of toffee, three towels each, and two pounds of straw paper. Isn't that a little too much?"

Lawrence said: "It's almost the same. Our living standards here are not ridiculously high. It's still difficult for many people to have a full stomach."

Salil became even more confused, "Really? Aren't we already full, with beef, eggs and milk for every meal?"

Lawrence smiled, "It's just us, even the kings and nobles outside, don't have to worry about going hungry."

Looking at Salil's puzzled expression, Lawrence felt deeply how easy it was to move from frugality to luxury. It only took seven or eight years for a country girl who knew the living standards nearby to become a noble lady in the castle. .

Thinking about it carefully, it was quite difficult to find out. Lawrence was proud of his strength and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Sariel, let's go see Delen. Delen has been getting quieter and quieter recently. Is this also the influence of earth ability?"

"I don't know." Salil didn't know much about this. She rarely knew anything about witches.

The two quickly went upstairs to play with Delen. Sofia usually practiced dancing to maintain what she thought was a sexy figure.

***

Clara and others returned to the house after watching the lamb.

Lolita had already hidden the candies, but she still put a handful of milk candies and fruit candies on the bed, and was happily eating beef jerky soaked in hot water.

Emma brought over a plate of bread.

"It's time to eat. The master just asked me to tell you that he will let you go to the kitchen to eat in the evening."

After hearing Emma's words, several children became excited.

"Thank you kind master!" Clara held a piece of soft bread, "Great, I have bread again!"

Emma asked: "Isn't there bread on the ship?"

Tim picked up a piece of bread and took a bite, showing a happy expression.

"Mom, the bread on the ship is cold and hard bread. You can tell at a glance that there are a lot of unpalatable things mixed in."

Tim explains the difference between bread and bread.

Emma quickly understood. After all, she was a country woman who grew up eating that kind of bread.

It’s only in the past few years that we have really been able to eat soft bread. Bread in the past was eaten soaked in water, which is essentially different from the bread we eat now.

It is cold and hard, like dry and hard pasta. Because of the impurities inside, it is harder and harder to chew than the cold white flour steamed buns.

In fact, this is real dry food.

Whether it’s white flour steamed buns or the bread that Lawrence’s family eats, they are all too advanced.

Lawrence's bread is more like a snack, especially the fluffy bread fresh out of the oven, which tastes great.

After a trip, they became aware of the living standards here. At the same time, because foreign refugees like Sophie continued to join in, Clara and Tim were not that curious about the outside world. They always thought that the outside world was a poor place. It's a rural place.

While eating the bread, Clara looked at the empty bed and asked, "Where have mom and grandma gone?"

Emma listened to the child's inquiry and explained calmly: "They are resting in the room upstairs, and Lord Khalan has arranged some things for them."

"It just so happens that they need some time to come back. During this time, let Sophie sleep with you too, and you teach her to master our language as soon as possible."

Tim and Heidi both nodded in agreement, and Clara and Lolita continued to eat their bread, but accepted the situation.

Sophie felt a little unfamiliar with these girls for the time being, and coupled with the language barrier, communication was a bit troublesome.

In Delenn's room, Lawrence looked at Delenn who was sitting there playing chess with Kohalan.

Sariel and Cassandra were also sitting on either side, now having evolved from backgammon to Monopoly.

The route is determined by rolling the dice, and then in each grid there will be events such as monsters blocking the road, visiting the prophet's hut, entering the exchange, discovering magic items, learning magic, etc., which are more random and more time-consuming.

Moreover, the four people do not have a fixed camp. Many rules can be added together with the permission of the other people.

In addition to the four female chess players, there were many maids in the room.

The dark elf maid stood behind her mistress and watched. Lawrence saw that Delen was fine and looked away, and found Aisabel standing by the window looking outside.

Lawrence quickly walked over and deliberately stood behind Aisabel.

Aisabel felt someone approaching, quickly turned around, and then their bodies were close to Lawrence when they faced him.

"Master..." Aisabel's voice changed from nervousness to surprise, to shyness and joy.

Lawrence put his hands on his waist, his body deliberately pressed against Aisabel's skirt, and said with a smile: "Finn and Yulia have been admitted to the ward these days. Did you miss me when you were sleeping alone?"

The room is not small, and the hostess and maid have keen ears.

But Lawrence doesn’t care, let alone being afraid that this kind of thing will be known to others!

There is no such thing as shame for a person who throws bathroom parties every once in a while. (End of chapter)
