Mountain and Forest Kingdom

The fourteenth year of the new calendar, spring

The Lawrence family is making spring rolls to celebrate the arrival of spring.

Salil saw Lawrence cooking with everyone today, so she started chatting with him.

"Lawrence, aren't you going to do the spring plowing?"

"No, it's already been arranged."

Salil helped carry a bag of flour, put it down, and sat aside to slowly untie the bag.

"There are a lot more children this year, and more farmland has been opened up. Shouldn't there be more things happening?"

Lawrence explained: "But there are more and more people who know how to do things. We have been doing the same thing for almost fourteen years."

Salil smiled and said, "I don't think it has anything to do with this. In the past decades, there were only a few people who knew how to cultivate the land here. Others just didn't know how to farm. It doesn't matter how many years have passed."

Lawrence also smiled. That's how Salyl is, always with unusual wisdom.

She just sees things from a different perspective, but she has always been a wise woman.

"You're right. I asked many people to know how to work and assigned them tasks, so they knew how to do it."

"If you don't do some things, you won't know how to do them. More people don't have the opportunity to learn and are wasted by various things all day long."

Lawrence opened up the conversation, "Before I came here, things that were important to the family and the town were always in the hands of a few people."

Salil felt that it was similar now. Fortunately, after not giving Lawrence face many times, she also learned to give Lawrence face, and this time she did not tell Lawrence this fact.

Nowadays, a few people are still in charge of the affairs of the majority of people, whether it is war or land production.

It seems like nothing has changed, but in fact Lawrence has improved basic productivity and made things that were important in the past less important.

In the past, if the land was not cultivated well, the family would starve to death.

I don't have this problem now.

What's more important is that in the past, others would not share their farming experience for free, let alone provide help during busy farming times. They would at least treat others to a meal.

Nowadays, farming matters and techniques are taught to everyone for free, and others are even required to master them.

After the knowledge spreads, spring plowing becomes much easier. More people provide management and guidance, and each region can complete spring plowing on its own.

In addition to agricultural knowledge, there are also various craftsmanship skills that are popularized.

Lawrence even spread the techniques of brewing wine and making condiments, and was not afraid of foreigners taking them as their own.

Life is getting better and better, but it doesn't match the theory Lawrence talks about, so Lawrence is always slapped in the face by Saryl.

Summarizing economic and development theory is a very complicated matter, and Lawrence did not have the ability to summarize what happened and experience.

If the experience summarized can be copied successfully by others, it means the summary is correct.

Lawrence's path to success is full of coincidences and relies heavily on his personal efforts and opportunities of the times, so it cannot be copied.

Now the economy is indeed developing and prospering, but because of the mismatch between intelligence and culture, the system is also nondescript. At present, no one, including Lawrence, can sum up anything on this strange national building.

Fortunately, Lawrence has big fists and strong strength, so no one cares, so there will be no problem.

Salil was also busy cooking and never paid attention to the strange words Lawrence said.

While the family was cooking, Kharan walked into the kitchen from outside.

"Your Majesty, Anyur has been caught."

Sariel looked over and saw that Khalan looked serious.

Lawrence, who was making spring rolls with several female elves, stood up and said, "Go over and take a look. It's much slower than I thought. What's the problem?"

Kohalan followed Lawrence outside, unable to be as casual as usual about this matter.

"Anyur led the gray elves to resist Mengye and the others, and it took two months of fighting to capture them."

Lawrence was originally indifferent to Anyur's matter, but after hearing Kharan's words, he knew that there must be another casualty.

Fighting is bound to be accompanied by casualties.

"It was my negligence. I forgot to tell Mengye not to force those witches and gray elves. If they don't want to, don't force them. Just come back with those who are willing."

"This is not your fault, please show no mercy to those feral children," said Khalan.

Lawrence had his own judgment, and he and Kharan quickly arrived outside the ring building.

The gray elves and witches brought back this time were placed in a wide area for supervision.

They were not brought into the building because these unconvinced witches were dangerous and could easily break out into large-scale battles.

Khalan recognized his daughter as she approached the cement plaza.

The connection between blood made both sides feel each other's presence and look at each other.

Lawrence also saw the giantess raising her head and looking here.

This is a black-haired witch with wavy thick curly hair hanging down her sides and shoulders. There is a black mole at the corner of her mouth. She has the same sexy and plump figure as Kehalan, but her body proportions are larger and her appearance is more beautiful. , and has a leadership quality that Kehalan does not have.

Anyur was watched by the surrounding female guards with swords. He sat on stools with the surrounding gray elves and witches, and his hands were tied behind his back.

She raised her head and looked at Kehalan indifferently, staring into the eyes of this woman with no memory.

"Did you send someone to capture me? In order to give birth to a child for this man, you wanted to kill me."

Anyur was very calm and knew the result he was going to face.

Khalan frowned, "Yes, this is the best choice."

Lawrence stretched out his hand to stop the female guards around him who were about to attack, "I am the leader here, Lawrence."

"Anyur, if you don't fight with my men, you can choose to join or leave."

"But it doesn't work now. You can choose life or death."

Although it was his fault that he forgot to tell Mengye and Alede not to force these witches, now was not the time to be reasonable.

Continuously reasoning and admitting mistakes is what a weak person does.

Maintaining order is a good thing for everyone, and maintaining and establishing order requires powerful violence.

"I choose to give birth! Don't kill me. If I kill your subordinates, then let me become your subordinate! If you want a child, I can also give birth to you!"

Anyur made the wisest choice.

If there is a way to survive, then you must take the way to survive.

If you kill the opponent's subordinates, you can just make up for it yourself.

If the reason for arresting him was to kill him so that the witch could get pregnant and give birth to a child, then he could also help him give birth to a child, which would solve the problem.

Lawrence nodded, "It's in line with my expectations of you."

Without the use of violence, you will never gain the respect of witches and gray elves.

"You don't understand the rules here yet, and you still maintain the relatively primitive witch code."

Lawrence was worried about such a wild witch roaming freely in his castle.

"I will arrange you in a garden not far from here. You will live with another witch. I will also provide you with food and clothes. You remember my rules here. Unless it is the person who attacks you, I will not You are allowed to actively attack humans and elves!”

"This is my bottom line. Don't try to challenge my bottom line, or I will make your death ugly!"

Anyur lowered his head, "I can do it."

Lawrence ordered the female guard on the side: "Let Dana take them to the Bee Witch. Dana and Dashiel will watch them these days."

"Yes, Master." The female guard quickly went down to inform the two masters.

Dana is very powerful and can easily kill more than a dozen witches and gray elves here.

At this time, Kehalan suggested: "Let them finish their meal before going over."

"Okay." Lawrence understood Kharan's thoughts.

It's not kindness, but good food makes it easier to appease these witches and gray elves who live in the open air.

Lawrence asked a timid gray elf.

The moral integrity of dark elves is very low, which is a racial characteristic. They have little resistance in front of powerful wizards.

Lawrence is not alone. There are too many masters here to count.

Compared with other family forces that only have five or six pure-blood wizards, Lawrence here does not count half-bloods, but the number of pure-bloods alone exceeds a thousand.

Alondo and other wizards were only those who were willing to fight. In addition to them, many elven wizards also surrendered, but they were unwilling to be loyal to Lawrence. After surrendering, they could live a stable life and retire.

The vicinity of Oak City is a scientific research site, and there are no ordinary residents in the ring building. Except for the female guards and some barbarian guards, there are students and wizards from the Saintess Academy.

Where thousands of wizards gathered, the momentum generated made these witches and gray elves realize how powerful Lawrence was.

Soon, Lawrence knew the reason for the fight through the narration of a timid gray elf.

They fiercely resisted the wizard because they felt that the wizard who had not returned for several years would take them to some god-given land when he came back and planned to sell them.

Many slave hunters in the south have entered the forest to hunt elves. They were killed by witches and gray elves in one wave, and not long after, the second and third waves came.

The witch was afraid of being tortured to death by the Holy See and the human nobles, and was also afraid of being taken away and living a miserable life, so when she saw the gray elves coming back with humans and wizards, they didn't believe or listen to anything they said.

Fortunately, the people sent by Lawrence were strong enough and proficient in fighting in the forest environment. They managed to capture these witches and gray elves alive without harming them as much as possible.

Once you know the reason, the next thing will be easy to deal with.

These witches and gray elves sat on short stools that were not suitable for standing up and waited for more than an hour before someone brought fragrant food on a plate.

At this time, Lawrence and Kehalan had left, and the wizard had gone back to eat. Only the female guard and a few tall female elves were watching.

A cold wind passed by. Dana, who was about to go home for dinner, felt something. She emerged from the wind and snow and stood in the square to take a look.

After seeing Anyur and the gray elves nearby, he roughly guessed what was going on, and soon turned into snow and left here.

Anyur lowered his head and let out a long sigh of relief after the scary witch with glowing eyes left.

Fear was quickly expelled by the fragrant food. Anyur and other witches saw the woman here placing the wooden plate she was holding in the hands of the gray elf in front.

Each seated witch and gray elf received a golden treat.

"What kind of insect is this?" Anyur asked, looking at the spring rolls on the plate.

The female guard didn't understand what she was talking about, so she raised her hand and cut the rope handcuffs of the two-meter-tall giantess with a knife.

Anyur, like the other witches, forgot about escaping after she could open her hands freely, and meekly held the plate with the mysterious food.

Anyur looked at the golden bugs that emitted fragrance and meat, and then looked at the nearby witch.

The companions all had the same doubts, wondering what this thing was and why it looked edible.

Fortunately, the female guards nearby also received the same food. As Lawrence's personal guards, these female guards were not only beautiful, strong, and skilled in martial arts, but also received various welfare benefits and could enjoy delicious food from time to time.

Even on normal days, the food he eats is better than that of many soldiers outside.

Except for a few archers who were monitoring the witches, most of the female guards quickly stuffed spring rolls into their mouths.

After devouring a few spring rolls, they shared some mellow wine with each other to moisten their throats.

Anyur couldn't care less, so he grabbed a few meat worms with his hands and stuffed them into his mouth.

The taste buds, which had not been impacted by the condiments and delicious food, quickly remembered this unprecedented taste.

Anyur finished the meat worms on the plate without realizing it. She raised the plate and sniffed it with her nose, then looked at the witches and gray elves around her.

After seeing that a gray elf's meat worm had not been eaten, Anyur stood up and went to get it.

"sit down!"

A female guard quickly shouted excitedly, like an ordinary person who saw a ferocious beast escaping from trouble, and the bow and arrows in her hand were quickly filled up.

Without a second warning, the female guard shot the bow and arrow directly at Anyur.

The nearby archers also quickly raised their weapons and faced Anyur as if facing a formidable enemy.

Anyur stretched out his hand to catch the flying arrow, and quickly looked at the humans and elves around him with anger and horror.

The panicked Anyur obviously didn't realize her problem and just felt that he was going to die.

"Sit down or die!"

The warning sound of the wood elf archer reached Anyur's ears, and Anyur's huge body quickly and carefully sat down on a stool that was very uncomfortable and small for her.

After Anyur sat down, the female guards around him breathed a sigh of relief, but their surveillance of the big witch did not decrease.

After more than two long hours, Dana walked out after finishing her meal and drinking afternoon tea.

"Follow me and I'll take you to your sleeping place."

Dana yawned lazily, "Don't run away, or you will turn into broken ice cubes. Obedient children will have food to eat at night."

Both the witch and the gray elf believed in the words of this wood elf. The suppression of blood and the terrifying strength of this place proved that they could do it.

In the evening, Dana took the witch and the gray elf to the yard of Emma, ​​the beekeeper witch.

This is no longer the original small courtyard. Lawrence did not treat Bee Witch badly and built a bigger and better villa for her.

Usually a lot of rooms here are empty, but now they can be used.

Eve arranged rooms for the witches and gray elves, and asked the nearby farm women to make several pots of mutton soup according to Dana's instructions, and gave them some candies to eat, especially the three daughters of Khalan.

After eating and drinking, Anyur and his companions lay together, and there was no need to talk to each other.

Don't want to run away. (End of chapter)
