Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Lawrence rode the unicorn into the garage, which was connected to the passage leading to the living room.

The garage has a three-meter-high wooden door. This door, which looks like a workshop door, is specially designed to consider the height of Unicorn and Lawrence.

After having the gate, the height and space of the house are also determined.

The interior space is not very large. When this room was designed, everyone's living standards were only just affluent, and many ideas and design concepts had not yet emerged.

The garage is only one and a half rooms in size. The ground here is paved with a layer of wooden boards. The concave-shaped wooden board facing the door is 30 centimeters higher than the ground, making it easier for Lawrence to ride.

It was only in recent years that Lawrence took up farming. This need was not taken into consideration when the castle was renovated, but the road conditions and environmental climate issues in the mountainous area were taken into consideration.

The floor that is raised above the ground is mainly to prevent moisture. There are special drainage pipes under the floor, which can be quickly cleaned when returning from the fields outside in rainy days and early spring.

There are many cloudy days here, and the sun is not visible most of the time in autumn and winter, making the house dull and dark.

Just relying on windows cannot change this natural influence, so the house was designed with an arched structure, like a tall cave. Replaceable lamps were placed on the eggshell-shaped ceiling, with soft and bright lights. Light stones are used to create beautiful weather with bright lights.

Some are also used in spring and summer to keep the interior of the house bright.

When Lawrence rode the unicorn into the garage, the two maids on guard pushed a door respectively. The door behind Lawrence was slowly closed together by the two maids, blocking out the bright sunlight in the afternoon.

Lawrence didn't notice the change in light; the inside of the house was just as bright as the outside, where many lights were used in broad daylight.

This level of extravagance and waste far exceeds that of all nobles of this era.

"Master, dinner is being prepared. Do you want to rest or have something to eat?" Candice came over and asked.

The Dark Elves are progressing towards standardization, and are still some distance from perfection.

However, neither Lawrence nor the Dark Elf could think of a truly perfect service.

There are limits to imagination, and Lawrence could not imagine luxuries he had not experienced or even heard of.

Just as many people think that eating bread and drinking cheap potato wine is the greatest enjoyment.

Lawrence is very satisfied with his current life and wants to maintain this enjoyment.

"Candice, make more dinner. I'm going to invite Heidi and his friends over for dinner. They researched something today."

Candice said: "Yes, Master, do you need a larger dining table?"

Lawrence smiled and said: "You don't need everyone to eat together. You can ask Delen and the others first. If you want to eat alone, you can."

"Yes, Master." Candice understood Lawrence's arrangement.

The hostesses basically don't like government affairs, and they don't like to be polite to useless people.

Basically, the witches in the family don't like eating with outsiders.

Lawrence arranged the dinner and asked curiously: "Isn't Sofia ready yet?"

"I don't know about this." Candice has been busy downstairs and in the yard today, and there are more things to do in summer.

Lawrence nodded and quickly went upstairs to find Sophia.

As soon as she reached the stairs, Yulia came down.

"Master, Lady Sophia just asked you when you would come back. She is waiting for you in the room with Lady Salil."

"Okay, let's go and take a look." Lawrence was very interested in the fruits of Sophia's labor.

Although she has provided a lot of help these days, I know that Sophia makes clockwork clocks, which use the elastic potential energy of the spring to store kinetic energy. When the spring releases the kinetic energy, it will gradually be transferred to the gears and hands.

In addition to the hands, there is also a balance wheel. What Sophia makes is not a precision mechanical watch, but an old-fashioned wind-up clock. On the outside of the box is a clock-like surface. Inside the box are various mechanical parts at the top and below. There is a pendulum clock that keeps swinging.

The balance wheel measures time through precise oscillations, and its oscillation frequency depends on the reduction ratio of the clockwork gear set and the elastic coefficient of the spring.

Lawrence quickly came to the bedroom. At this time, Salil, Derren and others were all looking at the new gadgets in the bedroom, including the little boy Andersen, and Sophia who made the clock.

"Master!!" Sophia ran to Lawrence excitedly, like a lightly dancing elf.

However, after seeing her increasingly plump skin and breasts, she felt that she was a beauty in the world.

The real elf did not allow Lawrence to pursue much. Lawrence found that when beauty reaches a certain level, it will become strange.

For example, Dana has excellent skin, but Dana has colorful eyes, which gives people a feeling of beauty that is inhuman. Lawrence's acceptance level is not that high and he cannot appreciate this kind of beauty.

Sophia is already the best, and Catherine is also good. Although Catherine has never had much presence, in terms of beauty, this beauty with long black hair and cold temperament has always been able to compete for the first place.

It is this kind of beauty that is like poetry and painting, but it is also a bit ungrounded. After I really get it and hold it, I feel that it is not as warm and lively as Sofia, a beauty in the world.

Lawrence usually doesn't compare who is more beautiful, because there is no need, and now he can hold a room full of beauties in his arms.

Sophia put her arms around Lawrence's arms and showed off excitedly: "Master! I have made this clockwork clock that can ring the bell. I used many coils of springs and gears, and it took a long, long time to finally make it! !”

Seeing the excited Sophia, Lawrence leaned forward and kissed her.

Sofia reached out her hands enthusiastically, put her arms around Lawrence's back and kissed Lawrence, even using her hands hard, as if she wanted to jump on him.

Lawrence quickly separated from Sophia and looked at the passionate little beauty, "Well done, now I want to see what you made first."

Sophia licked her seductive lips and smiled: "Yes, Master~"

The rest of the people in the room were not surprised by this. Even the children did not pay attention to this. They were standing next to the clock and looking at this strange thing curiously.

The clock is not big, about the same size as an old-fashioned TV set, and looks like a large wooden box.

Lawrence walked to the clock and looked at the surface, then opened the back of the clock and looked at the mechanical structure inside.

The ring pendulum clock inside is still swinging in knots. Above the pendulum clock, there is a long piece of metal that looks like a waterwheel structure, and there is also a bell that looks like a small hammer.

The springs and other parts are further up, and the overall difficulty is actually not that high. Lawrence can make it himself.

The biggest difficulty is not the design and manufacturing, but the delicate metal that can be used as parts.

The springs, hairsprings, dials, hands, and movements were all processed by the masters from Ironforge personally, just because this was Lawrence's request.

On the contrary, Heidi's steam machinery was more difficult and lacked many parts. Lawrence often had to ask before he could continue.

Ironforge is also responsible for external ordnance and equipment, so there is no time to spend with a few children playing with inventions and creations.

Not only is it more difficult, but it is also more dangerous. Fortunately, the wonderful combination of Heidi and Lolita perfectly solves the problem of pressure and steam in the steam engine.

Sophia showed off: "Every hour, it rings! It reminds us of the time!"

Sariel asked curiously: "What should we do after we go to bed at night? We will be woken up."

Sofia was stumped by Salil and seemed not to have thought about the issue.

Lawrence smiled and said: "I don't think there is a need to consider this issue."

"Why?" Salil didn't understand. A clock like this that rang every hour would definitely make people unable to sleep.

Lawrence didn't answer the question because he didn't know how to explain it.

The mechanism and reason are not clear, but it should not be woken up.

When Andersen saw Lawrence here, he raised his head and shouted to Lawrence: "Father, I also want this watch."

Lawrence touched Andersen's head, "It will happen in the future. In a few years we will have a workshop dedicated to making clocks. Then we can make you a small alarm clock to get you up on time."

"Okay!" Andersen didn't know what an alarm clock was, so he happily accepted it.

The first clock was quickly placed on a separate wooden cabinet. This cabinet did not store anything and was specifically used to display clocks.

Salil and Emma were busy choosing a place, and after looking around they still hadn't decided yet.

"Lawrence, where do you think this clock cabinet should be placed?"

After Lawrence looked at it, he said, "Just put it here against the wall. It should be far away from the bed so that you can see it while lying on the bed."

Saryl looked at the wall Lawrence was pointing at, which was almost to the door.

"It's so far away, can you see clearly?" Salil had some objections to this location.

Lawrence had his own idea, "As long as Aisabel and Yulia can see clearly."

Elsabelle is a witch, because she is older and wiser. She is the head maid of the third maid in the bedroom, and is usually responsible for the morning to evening hours.

Yulia has the blood of dark elves and can see things clearly at night, usually from evening to late at night.

Finn worked the morning shift and would visit the children after Lawrence went out to do some work and activities.

The lights are on in the bedroom most of the time, and even when sleeping at night, there will be a maid outside waiting for orders. You can just ask the time when the time comes, and you don't need to check it yourself.

The emergence of clocks has given the entire Kingdom of Stars a more accurate understanding of time, and future work and shift times will be more standardized.

After praising Sophia a little, Lawrence talked about Heidi and the businessman.

"I'm going to have dinner with Heidi and the others later. Which of you wants to join me?"

Seeing that he had the right to refuse, Delen refused directly, "I won't go."

Salil took the initiative and said, "I want to come with you. What reward do you plan to give to Heidi and the others?"

"We'll talk about it then." Lawrence nodded and asked Sophia: "Where are you, Sophia?"

After making the wind-up clock with her own hands, Sophia no longer cared about the threats from Heidi and others, and said casually: "I want to wait for you to come back in the house~I want to eat quickly, brush my teeth and take a shower!"

"Okay, I'll wait." Lawrence happily made arrangements. Only Salil, the hostess, attended the celebration banquet.

Sophia doesn't play with Heidi, and Salil's relationship with several girls is quite normal, especially Clara and Tim, who both grew up in front of Salil's eyes, and Salil feels that these are her own.

Heidi is not one of our own, but Clara and Tim are.

Lolita has grown up here since she was a child, but the feeling for Saryl is not as good as that of Clara and Tim.

The little girl was too smart for Salil's liking.

At the dinner table, Lawrence quickly entertained Heidi and her party, who were present in clean clothes.

Heidi and Clara both put on new clothes, and Lolita and Sophie also put on clean and respectable dresses.

Sophie is also included in the team. This female swordsman from a poor background has been living here for several years and has received many rewards, including a few clean clothes that can be changed into.

Lawrence sympathized with Sophie because she often sweated and soiled her clothes after exercising. In addition, the girl had been practicing her sword skills very hard, so in addition to food, Lawrence often gave her some suitable clothes to make her life easier. Embarrassed.

In addition to Sophie, there were seven decent women of different ages who came this time, some were girls, and some looked like noble ladies.

It feels like there are people ranging from a few years old to dozens of years old. These people gather together to study steam engines because of their knowledge and goals?

Lawrence felt strange and emotional after seeing these women.

"Sit down, don't be formal, today is destined to be a wonderful night."

Lawrence asked everyone to sit down.

Heidi and others quickly said: "Yes, Your Majesty the Great Prophet!"

Lawrence soon noticed that several women were wearing shabby clothes and they were not yet completely dry.

The wet clothes made several women behave strangely and appear very nervous.

Lawrence asked curiously: "Why are you wearing wet clothes? What is the custom?"

Several women lowered their heads in fear, their faces turned pale, and their hearts were beating violently.

Heidi noticed the problem and quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "Please forgive their disrespect. They did not do this intentionally. It was because our clothes were wet when we were busy using the steam engine in the room today. In order to wash away the sweat on them, The smell just washed it one more time and didn’t even have time to dry.”

Lawrence realized his stupidity, "Most people in the Kingdom of Stars come from all over the world. There may be immigrants from thousands of villages. Many places have different rituals and rules, so I often think these are their expressions." The way."

"Since you have no extra clothes, I will reward you with clean and decent clothes."

Lawrence looked at Sariel, "Saryl, take them to change clothes and give them beautiful clothes that fit them."

Salil, who was about to eat, quickly stood up and said to several women: "If the clothes are not dry, they will be uncomfortable to wear. Come with me, and I will choose some beautiful clothes for you!"

"Thank you, prophet of mercy!" Several women thanked him quickly, realizing Lawrence's kindness.

Lawrence said majestically: "Remember, in this land, as long as you are willing to pay and dedicate yourself to loyalty, you will not be humble or left out."

"From today on, there is a man behind you who can protect you! It's me, Lawrence Crowfeather!" (End of Chapter)
