Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Oak City, in the small kitchen next to the castle's large kitchen, Emma and Tim were sitting at the sink washing vegetables together.

Tim carefully inspected the vegetable leaves to prevent dirt and bugs from being mixed in.

Under Emma's education, Tim knew that this matter should be taken seriously.

If the master and hostess eat pebbles and dirt, they will inevitably be punished. In more serious cases, they will be transferred to others to take charge of the kitchen.

After checking that there was nothing wrong, Tim felt that he had nothing to do, so he looked at his mother who was peeling garlic cloves.

"Mom, where are Gurney and Eve? I haven't seen them for a long time."

Gurney is the daughter of Fleiss, and Eve is a slave girl bought before. She and Tim were once good playmates.

Emma educated her seriously: "Genny is getting fatter and fatter, so let her go home to work. Eve secretly ate Master Kehalan's herbs last year and was sent to Talim Manor by her master to keep bees. A few days ago, the master And let her go to work in the bee garden."

"You have to remember, never steal anything."

Tim nodded quickly and promised: "Yes, Mom, I won't steal anything."

Emma felt a little more reassured and believed that Tim was not that bad boy.

Lawrence is still as kind as before, even when he encounters children who steal food, he is particularly tolerant.

He didn't beat or scold the child. He just thought she was not suitable for the job and asked her to go to Talim Mountain to help where she could eat fruit freely. She also didn't publicize this matter to prevent the child from being looked down upon by others.

Emma quickly added: "I think Gurney is very good. Being a little fatter means that she is very healthy and looks good. Wumu also has a good job now. I plan to wait for a while and wait until autumn arrives. Just take Um to Fleiss’ house to have a chat and let Um and Gurney get to know each other.”

Tim offered his opinion, "I think Eve is much prettier than Gurney."

Emma did not respect the opinions of children and said arrogantly: "Gurney is better!"

Tim didn't dare to have any objections to his mother, so he honestly lowered his head and continued washing vegetables.

After returning from Du Ruila's place, Tim had a formal job in the kitchen. He would help in the kitchen every day when he came back from school. After graduation, he would be directly assigned to the kitchen.

This is a good job that others can't envy. Lolita really wants to work here, but unfortunately everyone disagrees.

Sophie is learning swordsmanship and language. Her learning ability is too far behind Heidi, and Heidi often says that.

Fortunately, there are many people here who can teach her, and there are also specialized language teachers at Saint Lady's College. These people are more aware of the learning abilities of ordinary people.

Sophie and Hela lived together, while sisters Clara and Heidi continued to study at the academy and only worked at home on weekends.

The war outside still has some impact on Feiyu Port and Dumu Port, and has a limited impact on Pumexiu Town and Oak City. Many people here don't care about Ener Port.

Even if the En'er Port fails, it will not be a serious injury to the current Kingdom of Stars, and it will be easy to form a stronger expeditionary force again.

Coupled with the good news that came before, neither Lawrence nor the others paid much attention to the things outside.

The originally peaceful Oak City encountered trouble today.

Sofia quickly found Lawrence who was farming on Dom Sheep.

"Master! It's not good!"

Lawrence felt suddenly startled and quickly stood up and looked in Sophia's direction.

It took Sofia more than thirty seconds to reach Lawrence on the sheep. She sat on the sheep's back and said quickly: "Master! Our crow was eaten by an eagle!"

Lawrence:…

It sounds like a trivial matter, but considering that he has Crow Feather as his surname and Crow's unique status in this area, it is indeed a big deal.

"Is there an eagle in this place?" Lawrence thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was indeed one.

The Agama Mountains are very large. So far, only the edges and feet have been explored. In fact, we haven’t gone deep into them for so many years.

It is normal to see eagles on high mountains, and snow-capped mountains are often accompanied by large grasslands.

A crow cannot defeat an eagle, and it is normal for it to be eaten by an eagle.

"What do those eagles think? Instead of eating the chickens that are more delicious and easier to eat, they insist on eating our crows."

Lawrence felt helpless. There were so many chickens in chicken farms now that it didn't matter if some of them were eaten by eagles.

What's more important is that with the spread of human areas, nearby eagle nests will definitely be destroyed, making the number of eagles less and less, so there is no fear that these eagles will eat their own chickens.

Only the crow is more troublesome. Currently, it is one of the cards of religious belief.

"Sophia, where was the crow that was eaten? Was it Heidi's crow?"

Lawrence can ignore the affairs of Erport and let them play their own role, but they cannot ignore the affairs of the Crows.

Sofia quickly said: "It's the crow in the manor!"

Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: "That's good. The crows here in Oak City... are sacred crows. The ones in the manor are big crows. The ones in the forest are small crows. The rest include large-billed crows and small-billed crows. Differences like crows.”

"Crows are different from crows. We need to protect the crows in Oak City. We don't need to worry too much about the crows in the manor."

Sophia hurriedly said: "But the crows and chickens are together in the manor. If we don't care, the eagle will fly in and eat our chickens in the future!"

Lawrence nodded, "It's not that I don't care, it's just that some crows don't want to live here in Oak City. This is their own choice. Those eagles are a test."

Sophia nodded in understanding, "That's it..."

Lawrence quickly thought about how to explain the crow being eaten to the rest of the group.

With human intervention, some crows have become familiar with chickens and often compete with chickens for feed. They have transformed from flying crows into black crows walking on the ground.

If crows eat chicken feed with the chickens since they are young, they don't have to look for bugs to eat, and they don't have to worry about being eaten by wild cats and dogs, then over time they will forget some skills.

Oak City does not need many crows, and the Crow Feather Prophet does not necessarily need to be bound to crows.

The eagle's matter needs to be resolved. You can't just eat chicken just because it's an eagle. Lawrence is not used to these outsiders, and he has no animal worship mentality.

"Send out hunters to shoot those eagles and drive them away from our territory!"

"Yes! Master!" Sofia shouted happily: "I will shoot down those big birds with a bow and arrow! Stuff them into the rooster's belly and eat barbecue bird meat!"

Sophia learned archery, and so did Lawrence.

But they are not very powerful.

Lawrence felt better when he saw Sophia so happy.

"Eagle meat shouldn't taste good." Lawrence had never tasted it, but it just sounded bad to him. No one had ever boasted about hawk meat.

Sophia asked curiously: "Is crow meat delicious? Why does an eagle eat crows?"

Lawrence quickly thought of the recent situation, "Maybe it's because we have too many rabbits here that those eagles are active here, and we happened to see a large number of crows walking around on the ground."

"There are indeed too many crows here. There is no need to raise so many crows."

Sophia's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then let's eat the extra crow eggs!"

Lawrence had never thought about this. When Sophia said this, he quickly refused: "Those crows are much smarter than chickens."

"Forget it, you don't need to worry about those crows. Just like after there are no wild boars and bears, we will replace the superior predators to hunt rabbits and snakes. If the crow community becomes large, they will separate themselves. out."

Many things do not require special attention, nor do they require forced solutions.

But the relationship between crows and eagles is not only about ecological niche, but more importantly, the image of what crows represent.

Lawrence would not allow an eagle to kill a crow, at least not in front of others.

In short, just resist a little and show off.

"That's right." Lawrence quickly thought of a good way to solve the problem.

This time the matter is mainly about the image of the crow, so it only needs to be divided.

"My crow feather shawl should also be replaced. I will choose a few suitable crows and prepare suitable beautiful feathers."

Lawrence's title is Crowfeather, not Crow.

Using crow feathers as one's own decoration has been a tradition since ancient times, so as long as this concept is reinforced, people can easily distinguish crows from prophets.

At the same time, while maintaining a certain degree of protection for crows, we will not be overly concerned about those crows.

Crowfeather is just a title, not a description or adjective.
