Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Lawrence had no idea what was going on.

The reasons Dana told him alone were not enough to make Lawrence accept this sudden surrender.

Moreover, this is not considered surrender. This elf just wants to do things here, and it is not a tied-to-death relationship.

Similar to the male students and female students arranged by noble families from other countries, these young people who target knights, nobles and nuns and saints work in the Kingdom of Stars. It does not mean that they will be people of the Kingdom of Stars for life, nor does it mean that they are Lawrence. A slave who can be manipulated at will.

He can only temporarily allow them to work for him, and he will leave when it is time to leave.

This is the normal superior-subordinate relationship. The long-term superior-subordinate relationship between slaves and slave owners is abnormal.

Lawrence can accept the job application of a short-term strong man, who is very enlightened and kind, but at this time he cannot understand Dana's thoughts.

"I don't know what happened to you yesterday." Lawrence said slowly, "I'm glad that you like me here, but I'm not sure how to...understand the relationship between us."

Dana also looked at Lawrence in confusion, "I don't understand what you mean."

Lawrence smiled helplessly. The communication between the two parties did not become smooth because they could understand the text.

"Let me think about it for a few minutes." Lawrence sat back in his chair and tried to think about Dana's intentions.

"Minutes?" Dana didn't know what the word meant.

Fortunately, Jade and Cassandra were nearby. Jade explained: "It's almost as long as a cup of tea."

A nearby maid quickly went to serve tea.

Dana had already drank two cups of tea. At this time, looking at Lawrence who was thinking, she drank tea and waited patiently.

Lawrence quickly sorted out Dana's thoughts. From Dana's few words, she explained that she became curious and exploratory about knowledge after seeing the students of Saint Lady's Academy studying, researching or discussing.

What's the atmosphere like among the elves? Lawrence didn't know this, but there shouldn't be much communication within the elves.

It's not just me and Dana who have communication barriers. In fact, this kind of thing exists between all races.

Whether it is barbarians and barbarians, or elves and elves, even human nobles and human nobles, slaves and slaves, there is also a general situation where communication cannot be achieved.

Inability to understand each other is actually a common phenomenon.

Even if there are billions of similar people, can you find two people who understand you?

Extraordinary beings are inherently rare. The current population of the Kingdom of Stars exceeds two million, and the number of known extraordinary beings should not exceed twenty.

Himself, Sophia, Saryl, Dren, Khalan, Lathander, Katherine, Cassandra, Emerald, Beekeeper Witch, Heidi, Lolita.

Hela and Bull are also counted, plus the five wizards just received this year.

If you include the berserkers, there are only a few dozen, which is actually not many compared to a country with a population of several million.

Because of wars and conquests, these few talents were brought together, and it took more than ten years to integrate these dozens of people.

Lawrence suddenly understood what Dana was thinking.

It is indeed very rare to find a place where people can discuss witchcraft with each other, openly express their opinions on extraordinary magic, and seek help and guidance.

Maybe there is such a place in the East where wizards gather, but the price of joining is definitely not low.

Furthermore, many strong people will have ambitions when they reach a certain level. This ambition can also be called an ideal.

For example, in the early years, people who only wanted to eat and wait for death, and spend their lives with beautiful women in their arms suddenly had the idea of ​​conquering mountains after becoming prophets and kings.

Even if you don't have the idea of ​​​​conquering mountains, you will still have the ambition to conquer the sea, conquer beasts, or make achievements.

If you feel lonely one day in ordinary life, it may be the time when your ideal is conceived.

It is difficult for ordinary people to pursue their own ideals. Now an extraordinary person like Dana has ideals and pursuits that match her own abilities.

Of course, all this is speculation, and Lawrence has to think about another possibility.

Is this elf a spy?

Although it felt very different, having to stay here to live and work after just one day made Lawrence, who had no intention of keeping her, feel very abrupt.

The wizard who can make people tell the truth cannot interrogate this female elf. Just from the temperament and the powerful energy displayed, this Dana's strength far exceeds that of the interrogating witch.

If something like witchcraft doesn't work, it just doesn't work. In the world of wizards, the gap between strong and weak is very obvious, and taking risks means death.

"I accept your job application. We can have a good chat about your treatment."

Lawrence still accepted the job application for this high-end combat force.

There is actually not much demand for masters now, but it is a good thing to reserve more masters for the country's strength, confidence and prestige.

Dana asked: "You don't need to pass the trial? Can you directly serve as a professor at Saintess Academy?"

"It seems so..." Lawrence felt that what Dana said made sense, and continued: "I haven't thought about any trials, so there's no need. After all, trials are for people who don't know their strengths and weaknesses. You You are certainly not weak, I think you are qualified to be a professor in the academy."

Dana accepted this recognition calmly, she has this strength.

Lawrence continued: "As for the salary issue, I will pay you a sum of money and materials every month as a reward for teaching in the school. You can go there four times a month for teaching."

Dana said directly: "I don't need money, just give me one based on what you eat and where you live."

Lawrence was silent... There was indeed a huge communication barrier between the two parties.

Lawrence suddenly felt that Dana's request was very simple and innocent. The problem was with him. He was not a good person and did not care about equality.

It's so hypocritical. When discussing treatment with others, they say "I want to be treated like you" and then they have nothing to say.

The maid Aisabel behind her quickly said: "I'm afraid this won't work. The master is the prophet of this land, the prophet who leads the people of the Land of Stars to the sea of ​​stars. Although you have a noble status, you cannot enjoy the same treatment as the prophet. This will make others angry and think you are violating God's will."

well said! Lawrence couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, gingers are still hotter when they are old, and elves are still better than mature women.

Elves who are too young are just ignorant.

Dana does not believe in God. She just realized that her request could not be achieved and stopped forcing it. "Then it will be calculated based on yesterday and today, as long as it is like this every day."

Lawrence wanted to complain about this female elf. Yesterday and today, this female elf was a VIP, but tomorrow she won’t be. I can’t entertain you with good things every day, right?

But if you think about it carefully, this is not an outrageous request. At least it is much more reasonable than the equal treatment she just mentioned.

"Okay." Lawrence nodded and agreed to the request smoothly.

As a high-end combatant and an ideal person who is willing to share knowledge, it is necessary to entertain him well and set an example for the extraordinary people outside.

There were still many communication barriers between Lawrence and Dana for the time being, so he soon went out to continue studying crops with agriculturalists, not wasting time on this female elf who was difficult to get along with.

Being interrupted by Dana, Lawrence also felt the need to re-determine the treatment issue.

There is no need for equality. In this period of vigorous development, people are focusing on the treatment of a few nobles and warriors. If the treatment of these people can be implemented, a lot of useful talents can be harvested.

Whoever is of high value will be taken care of. The most valuable people now are definitely not the slaves and farmers who grow potatoes, but the warriors who work hard to fight, the extraordinary people who can quickly increase productivity, and the high-end combat power that can determine the outcome of the battlefield.

The specific classification is very important. The more detailed the better, so as to show the level gap.

This gap will not be denounced as unfair by people of this era. Instead, it is a life pursuit that everyone respects.

It is impossible to set a goal and have everyone risk their lives to chase it. At least Lawrence feels that no matter what era, most people actually have the nature of indolence and indolence.

There are quite a few people who actually don't like work and labor. They don't have the skills of witches, but they have the thoughts of witches.

In every dynasty, there are a group of people who have made great achievements, and there are also people who remain unmoved and continue to live their own useless lives.

Just like my old self.

The hierarchy is about selecting ordinary people and extraordinary people who are willing to fight.

Regardless of whether Dana was attracted by the superior material and spiritual civilization, Lawrence decided to continue to develop this system.

This thought lasted only a few hours before it changed.

Lawrence, who was digging a hundred meters of ditches in the field in an hour, found that after he had dug ditches in several bean fields, the dozen men in the distance had only dug less than one meter.

They had just found tools and divided their respective responsibilities, or they were slowly picking up shovels and dustpans from the nearby tool room.

Seeing the people gathered together, Lawrence turned his head and looked at the neat ditch he had dug. This ditch was one hundred meters long, eighty centimeters deep, and one meter wide. It was dug neatly, even the soil on both sides. They were all flattened with the back of a shovel.

After a few seconds of silence, Lawrence suddenly felt that his random thoughts were meaningless.

In this land, strength is king.

The principles of barbarians are the norms of this land, and the big fist is the last word.

"It's really...!" Lawrence was a little angry, and regretted why he was so unsatisfactory, "I always think about the good food and drink here, and the high-quality life here. I think they will like the life here when they come here, and the establishment will make outsiders My favorite country."

"Whether they like it or not is none of my business?"

"I just have to do my own thing. There's no need to do it specifically for others to see. I'm already the overlord of this continent. There's no need to be so humble and look down upon."

Lawrence figured out that Dana's appearance was accidental and inevitable.

When you develop well here, others will naturally be attracted to you, instead of being attracted by the goodwill you stubbornly thought before.

Do you attract talents because you are strong, or do you become strong after attracting talents?

Lawrence now believes that it is strength. It is precisely because of the strength of the country that it gives most talents the opportunity to become famous.

Longlegs Hall, Fleiss, and Black Dog Hayate all had opportunities to play because of this land.

After thinking about it, Lawrence found that he did not need to be so humble to please those elven wise men.

Is it actually that urgent?

No.

There is no such rush now, and it is not a time of life and death. Everything can develop slowly.

There is no need to treat the other party with astonishing treatment and respect as if he has never seen a talented person. In the past two days, my mind couldn't turn around and I didn't think of some things.

Now Lawrence thinks of it!

Only here I have jobs, opportunities for advancement, an atmosphere for discussion and research, and all kinds of conveniences!

The Land of Stars has so many advantages that others don’t have. If talents from all over the world don’t gather here, will everyone stay in their hometown to serve the motherland?

It's nonsense. Lawrence would have had such naive thoughts more than ten years ago, but after more than ten years of knowing witches and other extraordinary people, Lawrence simply didn't believe that these people would let go of their good life and insist on returning to their hometown to live a miserable life.

As long as we make it clear that we value agriculture and give it some preferential treatment, then someone will naturally overcome the difficulties, instead of having to be a prophet who has to spend all his time recruiting talents.

"Lawrence, you can't be so humble. This is your home court now!" Lawrence warned himself.

The salary doesn't need to be improved that much. It's inappropriate to give too much, and I'm not asking them to enjoy the blessings. These extraordinary people must correct their attitude.

I also need to correct my attitude! Lawrence clenched his fists and said firmly: "After I gain strength, a sage will come to throw!"

Most extraordinary beings do not have that kind of humility. Acting too humblely will make these wizards and witches feel that they are important and that they can negotiate conditions with the Crowfeather Prophet.

"We have a solution. Put some pressure on those elves and see if they can research high-yielding crops!"

Lawrence has found the right way to get along with extraordinary people.

Fists are necessary, and the strength gap between the two parties must be clarified. Only in this way can the conversation go smoothly.

Otherwise, it will be just like the dialogue with Dana, where the two parties will not be able to communicate in many places.

The difference in power will make many conversations much easier.

The Kingdom of Green Forest has been absent from several wars. Lawrence's reduction of food supply to this area is a very doctrinal act.

This kind of thing cannot be done secretly. It must be done openly. It must be told to the clergy and city managers in the cathedral, as well as to the various elf messengers.

My previous thinking was to cooperate with the elves, so I offered all kinds of benefits to win over the elves, took the initiative to send money and food to the other party, rented the poor land that the other party did not want, and also sent large amounts of valuable materials.

No one educated Lawrence, and nothing unpleasant happened, but Lawrence figured it out naturally, and then turned into the kind of barbarian that the Elf Queen was most afraid of.

In fact, a barbarian king who only wants to impress his allies with sincerity and goodwill is the barbarian with the most problematic brain.

Lawrence originally just wanted to put some pressure, but as he was doing it, he discovered that the Green Forest Kingdom had always prohibited people from several kingdoms, especially people from the Church of the Stars, from entering, so the angry Lawrence also increased the pressure.

Lawrence quickly summoned his men and envoys and gave the Elf Queen four choices.

The first one was to send at least 3,000 elf warriors to attack the headquarters of the Church of Dawn.

The second one allows the Church of the Stars to build a church in the forest and send thirty elves to the headquarters of the Church of the Stars to study, with the expenses borne by the Green Forest Kingdom itself.

Third, if you are unwilling to open the door to Crowfeather Prophet Lawrence, then move out of the forest and away from the scope of the Covenant.

Fourth, if you choose to resist, one hundred thousand barbarians will set off from the land of ice and trample the land of the forest.
