Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Lawrence sent someone to inform Lana that Yubao would go back in a few days.

Lana and the shepherdess heard the guard's message as soon as they returned to the monastery.

"Then I'll go and tell the people at the train station to tell them to tell the monastery that they don't have to cook for us."

Lana quickly ran out to deliver the letter. She liked to do this kind of thing.

After Lana left, Bull chatted with the shepherdess about trivial matters and soon learned about Kenny's choice.

"The child has grown up. I respect his choice and should not interfere in his life anymore."

Bull was grateful to the shepherdess for taking care of the children and respected this honest and kind woman, instead of currying favor with her in order to make her take better care of her children.

When the shepherdess saw what Bull said, she stopped talking about Kenny.

Bull quickly said, "Compared to Kenny, I'm more worried about Lana."

"Lana is a good child. What's wrong with her?" The shepherdess thought Lana was very good and not a bad child.

Bull sighed, "If this child was in a normal family, it wouldn't be a problem, but she is a nun in the monastery. She is not young anymore, but she is still like a child all day long."

"Tasna, who is younger than her, also grew up in the manor. She was very unfortunate when she was ugly when she was a child, but after entering the monastery, she worked hard to study and show her self-worth."

"That child is very loyal to the master and can handle many affairs for the master."

"In addition to Tasna, there are Awenla and many nuns who came to the monastery to study before. They have been making progress all the time. Only Lana makes me very worried."

The shepherdess said: "Lana has a weak heart. She is very timid, has no self-confidence, and dares not do troublesome things, just like me."

"I think that child will live a stable life like me in the future. Although not as dazzling as you, I believe that Lana and I and many children will be loyal servants around the master."

Bull thought for a few seconds after hearing what the shepherdess said, and was convinced to a certain extent.

But there are still some problems.

"No, Lana is different from you. She is loyal to the master with only fear and respect, unlike us who recognize the master from the bottom of our hearts."

The shepherdess didn't quite understand the difference and said directly: "But I think the master doesn't mind these things. The master is more caring to Yubao and Lana than to other nuns, just like treating young and ignorant children."

"Children have to grow up after all." Bull couldn't treat Lana, who was taller and stronger than himself, as a child.

The little nun is not young anymore.

The shepherdess and Bull have great differences in thoughts and insights.

"There are all kinds of people walking out of the manor, including saints like you, brave warriors like Beow and Luke, and warriors like Mandkru and Reglo who are gradually becoming unknown."

"Not everyone has to be so outstanding. Lana is like me. I think the monastery needs smart and wise managers like you, but most of them may be ordinary nuns like me and Lana."

Bull quickly said, "No, I think you are very good, and the master must think so."

The two chatted while entering the monastery, and Bull quickly gave up his worries about Lana.

If Lana is viewed according to the requirements of the saint, this child is indeed unqualified.

Even if she is viewed as a follower of the saint and the apprentice of the dean, she is very incompetent compared with the other girls.

But if she is regarded as an ordinary nun, it will be found that there is actually nothing wrong.

Moreover, Lana can take good care of Yubao. This ability alone is a special talent that other saints do not have, and she is also qualified to continue to be a nun in the monastery.

After Bull figured it out, he put aside his worries about Kenny and Lana on the same day.

The children's future depends on themselves.

Kenny quickly found Lawrence and asked for Lawrence's blessing against his will, but he didn't want Lawrence to agree.

Lawrence, who was washing his hands and preparing to go out, heard it and took the towel handed by the maid next to him and wiped his hands.

"Is that so? Then let me bless you. It's your own business to respect your mother, but for your mother and wife, it will be happier if I bless them."

Lawrence said to Kenny: "Marriage is not a matter for one person. If you are not ready, you can think about it first. If you want to get married, you should consider the responsibilities you will bear in the future and think about whether it is worth it."

"Divorce here is not troublesome, but I hope everyone can treat it carefully and not violate the vows made when getting married."

Kenny was frightened by Lawrence, and quickly knelt down after Lawrence saw his little thoughts.

"Yes! Merciful prophet!"

Lying in front of the prophet is a very serious crime, especially when the prophet directly exposes your thoughts. For a young man like Kenny who has never seen the world, it is a very terrifying thing.

Lawrence said casually: "When you grow up, your mother will not interfere with your affairs. As a mother, both Bull and Torrevi have completed their missions. Next, your life will be written by yourself. No one will interfere with your choice, but no one will do things for you for no reason."

"I appreciate your gratitude to your mother who raised you, so I will bless you. After marriage, you can choose to work in Seravan, or you can choose to develop in Gran and Io Province outside."

"If you go out, I will help you build a church there, and the rest is up to you."

"If you stay, you can start as a pastor in Seravan's territory, and bring your wife there to get a few acres of land, a small yard, a nest of chickens and a few dairy sheep."

Kenny knelt on the ground and thanked him, "Thank you! Prophet! I am willing to preach in Sidell's territory."

Lawrence was not surprised by the young man's choice, and nodded in approval of his choice.

The Ice Land is not short of warriors, nor are there some cowards.

Cowards can be found everywhere, and people who don't want to fight are everywhere.

Only a minority of people like to fight.

It's just that in the Kingdom of Stars, these people have a louder voice, stronger voice and more power.

Lawrence blessed Kenny, and Kenny became a husband with the congratulations of priests, nuns and many warriors.

There were a lot of people visiting the wedding. Lawrence himself has never held a wedding, but he has attended thousands of weddings in the past ten years.

When Kenny left Dum Port with his wife and went to the south to work, Lawrence's legion commander in the south, Lek, came back.

Lek is a new berserker who has joined in recent years and a barbarian warrior who has been promoted from the army in recent years.

Born in a village near the Pig's Hoof City, he joined after Lawrence established the Kingdom of Stars and defeated the Pig's Hoof City Legion.

There are not many berserkers, and as long as they can be berserk, they can be promoted quickly.

But to be promoted to the legion commander, it depends on the learning ability. Lawrence needs a legion commander who can fight, listen to opinions, and can read and count.

Lek is such a legion commander, serving in the garrison legion, currently in the army for seven years, with the title of baron.

"Prophet! The Holy Light Church gathered a large number of believers during the ceremony this year, and these believers soon dispersed in several cities on the border. It looks like a war is going to happen!"

Lawrence doesn't care about the war, he is only curious about the ceremony.

"Did the ceremony succeed? In recent years, the Holy Light Church has been busy studying the secrets of longevity, making the elderly become children and the children become the elderly."

Lek replied: "It is said that it was successful. The Pope, who has not been out for many years, walked out of the Holy Land. More things have not been investigated clearly. I only know that there may be a war."

Lawrence nodded, "I will send people to support you. Winter is coming to the Ice Land, but you are too close to the south, so the impact is not too great. The army in the south may attack in advance."

Lek raised his head and assured excitedly: "Please rest assured! Great prophet! Those people want to cross our defense line, unless they step over my dead body! "

Lawrence smiled and said: "People are more important than land, but I admire your courage and belief. Our determination to defend our land and homeland is unquestionable."

"I am behind you. In addition to the garrisoned legion, I will also arrange the wizard legion and the Valkyrie legion to assist you."

"Now we are invincible!"

Lek echoed: "Yes! Great prophet!"

Lawrence asked some more questions and soon asked Lek to go down to rest. There is a camp specially for entertaining military nobles in Dum Port.

After Lek left, Lawrence called Will, who was also studying in Dum Port recently.

"Will, the Holy Light Church seems to have succeeded. I will give you a month to pack up your things in the island laboratory. You may have to study things in the south in the next one or two years."

Will has a lot of things to do every day, but after hearing that the ritual of the Holy Light Church in the south was successful, he quickly became interested.

"Okay! I'll go back and pack up. We can set off in half a month!"

Lawrence will definitely provide Will with the corpses of the Holy Light Church for research. This is needless to say. Will's task is to study and analyze the results of the Holy Light Church.

The secret of immortality is very attractive to both the powerful and the wizards.

While keeping a distance from the Holy Light Church in recent years, a lot of people have been arranged to spy on intelligence. Lawrence is very curious about what this group of people can come up with.

Before leaving, Will talked about the conclusions of recent research.

"There is nothing special in the brain of the giant deep-sea octopus. I have also studied the brains of several large sea monsters, and there is nothing special."

"I think that when a creature reaches a certain size, the body will accumulate and produce more reactions, just like touch reactions and stress reactions. The more hair, skin, and organs of this kind, the easier it is to produce wisdom."

Lawrence nodded, "It makes sense, but it has nothing to do with what I want to know. Why does this deep-sea monster chase Yubao?"

"Maybe it emits an attractive smell." Will thought for a while, and soon said seriously: "It may also be that the sea people killed a lot of small octopuses, so the big octopus will expel and kill this creature when it smells the smell of the sea people."

Lawrence showed a puzzled expression, "Is that so? Why do you have this idea? What is the basis?"

Will explained: "According to my investigation, Yubao can tame many small creatures to help it scout and find prey in the sea. This energetic and intelligent creature is definitely not a friendly neighbor in the marine community."

"Even on land, the juveniles of this energetic predator will be consciously attacked by many animals to curb its growth."

Lawrence thought about Yubao's performance. Yubao was indeed lively and cute in Dum Port and Lawrence, and gave people the feeling of being very, very loving.

But Yubao is an omnivore, especially fond of meat, moves very fast, has a keen sense of smell, has the ability to call distant partners, and is also good at fighting with humans.

Whether it is hunting seals every year or expelling large whales and dolphins, Yubao is very active and proactive, leaving no room for competitors.

"Is that so? It seems that Yubao is still suitable for growing here."

Lawrence no longer insisted, "You go to be responsible for the affairs in the south. If there are any problems, just send someone to contact me directly. I will go there in person when necessary."

"Yes, prophet." Will is still very friendly to Lawrence, and he obeys Lawrence's assignments very well.

After all, he is a big moneymaker, and he is easy to talk to.

Lawrence summoned several archons and began to prepare for the possible war.

Barbarian warriors are not afraid of war. Everyone believes that the Star Country is invincible in the world. Driven by meritorious promotion and pride, most people actually look forward to the arrival of war.

Lawrence was not afraid of war. War had many disadvantages, but it could also allow people from the Land of Ice to go out and allow domestic industry, commerce and class mobility to develop more healthily.

Most of the domestic titles could not be passed down, so the descendants and successors of several nobles were looking forward to making achievements and becoming respected noble lords.

With the developed transportation capacity of this era, as well as the strong mobilization, logistics and industrial capabilities, the Star Country was not afraid of the army of the Holy Light Church.

The church that had been against the Star Country had been driven away long ago, and this was the confidence of most people.

Lawrence was very clear about the blind confidence of his own people, so in order not to fail, he could only work extra hard.

Not only did he transport weapons and equipment and the latest wheeled artillery, he also summoned several Western countries to form an elite coalition again.

In addition to support on land, Lawrence also sent a naval fleet led by three steamships to cruise.

As long as the Holy Light Church went to war, he would blow up all his ports directly! (End of this chapter)
