Mountain and Forest Kingdom

The summer in the Ice Land is short, and the spring is roughly from May to June. June and August are summer, and then it is winter with no clear distinction.

Lawrence sat in the office and checked this year's calendar. After confirming that there was no problem, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"I'll go to the manor and will probably be back tomorrow. Let Aruchu and Kadar come with me."

The bedroom maid Aishabel bowed her head respectfully after hearing this, "Yes, master."

Lawrence has three maids, Aishabel, Yulia, and Finn.

Cassandra is usually in charge of secretarial work, and the sisters Candice and Sadis are also in charge of assistants.

Cassandra has the heaviest workload, but Cassandra only needs to use her brain and does not need to work frequently. Instead, she is the one with the most ease.

Her brain is not as complicated as others solving difficult problems. Memorizing things is like an innate ability for Cassandra.

Her witchcraft is very ordinary witchcraft, without any burden or consumption.

Even the other witches who can attack spells rarely have consumption problems.

Since the beginning of contact with witches, Lawrence has never let witches overuse their abilities.

Because they always think that witches are not good for their health when doing heavy work, this wrong cognition makes witches feel at ease and become more and more lazy.

In the early years, when Khalan first joined, he would tell Lawrence that he was not tired. After realizing Lawrence's strange idea that shocked the witches, the witches who joined later soon accepted it with peace of mind.

Just lie down and open your legs to have food and drink, live a stable life, wear beautiful clothes, and don't have to work or have special skills. Where can you find such a good thing?

Especially for the ignorant witches who have suffered and some elves who have just experienced the pain and horror of war, this kind of thing that seems to appear in dreams is simply indescribable.

It's no wonder that the female elves knelt so quickly. The surrender speed of witches, human wizards outside, and ordinary noble merchants is actually not slow.

Lawrence has raised many useful and useless witches. Not long after walking out of the corridor, he smelled a strange fragrance.

The smell that Lawrence could smell could not escape the noses of other witches.

"Who is doing what experiment?" Lawrence asked casually.

After hearing it, the female guard on guard stood still and looked at Lawrence and said, "It seems to be from Lord Khalan."

Lawrence smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go and see, let's go together."

"Yes! Master!"

The female guard in leather armor followed Lawrence happily.

Lawrence is not only good to witches, but also to female warriors. These carefully selected female warriors can often get Lawrence's blessings, can talk to Lawrence, and sometimes exercise together.

The floor where Khalan is located is not far from Lawrence's office. The Oak Castle has been expanded twice, but it is still too small in general.

Many elves still spend the winter in Snow Mountain Castle and do not need to accompany Lawrence on winter nights.

But it also reduces the collection of food and welfare items.

Lawrence hates women who don't take the initiative, especially those elves who eat and drink their own food and have a cold face. If they all go to Stella's village to earn their own living, they will know how to live a good life.

Those who can learn to be diligent have been pure elves in Stella's village.

Those who don't want to live a hard life and want to be parasites, then learn to smile and be secular, and don't do the kind of drama that seems to be forced.

Lawrence is not short of women, nor female elves. On the contrary, the elf queen and several high-blooded female elves are more proactive.

As soon as I approached Khalan's room, I saw a tall woman at the door of the opposite workshop.

The witch has a black mole at the corner of her mouth, has the same sexy and plump figure as Khalan, and has beautiful and thick black wavy long hair.

Compared with Khalan, this young witch is more beautiful and healthy, and is better than Khalan in all aspects.

"Master!" Anyuer quickly knelt on one knee, showing a humble and respectful expression to the man in front of him.

Lawrence rarely met Anyuer, mainly because Anyuer had been leading the training of the female guards of Oak City and was also responsible for managing the second batch of dark elves in the castle.

The batch of Shadis was considered the first batch of dark elves, including the dark elves sold before. These all belonged to the dark elves of the Ancient Speaker family and were considered a tribe.

The newly joined dark elves were the black and gray elves brought by the wandering elves in the south. Anyuer himself did not belong to this elf tribe, but to another group of forest witches destroyed by the church priests.

Anyuer, who had experienced war and escape, as well as being hunted and threatened, was more convinced of Lawrence's strength and kindness, and also liked the life of luxury here.

Under the powerful deterrence and training, he had been waiting for the opportunity to give birth to offspring for Lawrence.

Lawrence was more curious about what Kehalan was doing at this time.

"Anyuer, what is Kehalan doing?"

Anyuer stood up and explained to Lawrence: "Lord Kehalan is cultivating fruit trees with the elf named Guoli."

"Go in and take a look." Lawrence walked in.

Anyuer quickly changed his body and became a little shorter.

The room was not a traditional room, but a room with many trees and vines, like a cave made of plants.

Khalan and Guoli were standing in front of a sapling and watching, and they had heard Lawrence's voice a long time ago.

Lawrence approached and asked, "What's the matter with this fragrant sapling?"

"A new plant planted by mistake." Khalan explained, "Originally, I wanted to cultivate a fruit like potatoes that is not afraid of wind and rain, but it became a fragrant plant that looks like a flower."

Lawrence likes this kind of accident, "Then try to make use of its advantages."

"But we are studying fruits and fruit trees, and we don't have time to change to something else." Khalan didn't want to study this, mainly because the research on smell is very troublesome.

Lawrence nodded, "Then let someone else take charge. I can smell this kind of fragrance, and others can do it too. Let the students of the school take charge. They are idle anyway."

Khalan looked at Lawrence, "Is that how they are used?"

Lawrence explained seriously, "Over the past ten years, the female students trained by the Saint's College have reached the age of being useful. They either get married or are used by me."

"Going to help Heidi and Sophia is for my use, and pleasing me in the castle is also for my use. Since they have learned knowledge and scientific concepts, then doing something is enough. It's the right way."

"Not only to study flowers and crops, but also to help me copy the calendar. Compared with those peasant women outside, they at least don't have to do those hard labors and don't have to worry about being bullied."

"And I think it's a waste for these people to marry and become noble ladies. I'm still seriously lacking intellectuals who can help me."

Khalan quickly looked at the sapling again, "I don't quite understand what you're talking about. So, are you going out later?"

"Yes, let's go to the manor. What do you want?" Lawrence is easy to talk to and is willing to help Khalan solve the problem.

Khalan pointed to An Yuer next to him, "Take her out to bask in the sun. She has helped a lot in the research these days, and the consumption is many times greater than ours."

"Okay." Lawrence looked at An Yuer, "Come with me, let's go out for a walk together."

"Yes! Master!" An Yuer happily followed Lawrence.

After Lawrence left, Guoli sat down casually, bored and dazed.

Since coming here, Guoli has not eaten fruits, and has eaten meat and soup every meal.

Kehalan yawned, "I have done a lot of experiments these days, but I haven't come up with anything good. I am also tired. I will give you a few days off. You can play whatever you want. Just don't run away. If you run away, no one will find you and let you come back."

Kehalan is not afraid of Guoli running away, there is no shortage of female elves who can do plant witchcraft here.

It's just that it's still easy to use, so I don't like to change people again.

Guoli breathed a sigh of relief and finally lay down easily.

"Okay, then I'll go out."

Kehalan ignored her and went to find Deren to drink and play chess.

Guoli planned to take a look, but when she jumped down from the window to the door, she saw Lawrence who just came out of the door.

Lawrence saw Guoli and said curiously: "Are you going to the manor with me?"

Guoli didn't know what to say, "It's... the prophet."

People here seem to say so.

Lawrence nodded and said, "Follow us, there are also a group of fruit trees in the manor, you can help take a look."

Guoli could only follow the team. Apart from the two elf children, she was the only unlucky elf here.

Anyuer and more than a dozen female guards protected Lawrence and boarded the train carriage. After more than ten minutes, Lawrence's special locomotive started and pulled five carriages out.

The train can reach the manor in an hour on the track. Although the speed is not as fast as riding a unicorn, it can carry more people and goods.

After getting off the train, Lawrence went to discuss this year's production plan with the craftsmen and handed this year's calendar to the nuns for copying.

Tasna, Lawrence's number one female believer, presided over this year's missionary activities here, and she could also lead the nuns to copy the text.

Tasna did not start to act immediately after receiving the calendar, but looked at Anyuer and Guoli who came in.

Her eyes are bright and glowing. Because she is wearing a metal mask that covers her entire face, only the glowing eyes can be seen, so she gives people a very beautiful and solemn feeling.

It is worth mentioning that the wig she wears is also the golden wig that Yu Bao once wore.

Tasna is not a naturally beautiful girl. She is not only ugly, but also has sparse hair, and her body and arms are short and thin.

If Lawrence had not prohibited the killing of young children, this deformed child would have died in the mountains long ago.

The experience in her childhood made Tasna believe that Lawrence was the great existence that saved her. She also fanatically chased Lawrence's figure and devoted her body and mind to Lauren.

When other children were playing, Tasna was doing everything to learn.

In the winter, Dum Port was managed by Bull, so Tasna took the initiative to come to the place where she was born, and it was easier to see Lawrence here.

Because Lawrence attaches importance to agriculture and industry, Tasna has always taken time to learn and understand these contents.

It may be an innate talent. Tasna has good talents in agriculture and industry, and knows how to use them because of Lawrence's guidance.

"Anyul, I remember your ability is growth?"

Tasna looked at Anjur and began to use the value of this witch.

Anjur frowned, because he rarely met this girl, so he didn't want to pay attention to her.

The reason for frowning was that the other party didn't have Lawrence's smell, but had a strong breath, a strange breath that was more important than bloodline.

"Yes." Anjur still didn't offend this unidentified girl, "My ability is, to be precise, a tree demon."

"It can be disguised, it can consume energy to become bigger, or it can be said to be growth, whatever you say."

Most pure-blooded witches have multiple abilities, and half-blood witches only have one useless basic ability.

The stronger the bloodline, the stronger the ability.

Lawrence spent most of his time developing the witch's body and rarely developed the witch's talent.

There was also guidance from the witches themselves. Most witches were smart enough to realize the basic concept that the more abilities, the more work, so they would lie down if they could, and be lazy if they could.

The witches around Lawrence, especially the familiar witches, were not very willing to use their abilities.

It's not that they get tired after using their abilities, but they are afraid that Lawrence will assign them tasks after using their abilities.

Many elves are assigned tasks to make money by Lawrence just because their abilities are suitable, but witches with useless abilities can stop working for several months just by lying down and being pressed by Lawrence for an hour.

Lawrence chose the path himself, and Lawrence's own kindness created the choice of a group of witches.

But Tasna is not the kind of person who will spoil women.

She is also a woman.

"I want to make fertilizer for trees and wheat, An Yuer, and this Guoli, you come to help me."

Tasna treats Lawrence's women as tools, especially those ordinary women who are not saints.

Whether it is an elf, a witch, or a human, as long as a woman cannot give birth to offspring for the master and has not been canonized as a saint, she is a usable tool.

Guoli didn't want to help, but she couldn't refuse.

Thinking that the food here is good and life is good, the lazy Guoli still agreed obediently.

An Yuer said angrily: "I don't do such low-level work! Who are you? Why dare to order me?"

Tasna looked at An Yuer with a cold face, "I am the master's first believer! If you don't want to work for the master, you can leave this land! There is no waste here!"

The tall An Yuer looked at the short Tasna with a threatening look.

Tasna was not afraid at all, and her eyes also exuded a white light of contempt.

Lana, who was sweeping the floor next to her, saw it and quickly hid quietly, not daring to participate in this scary quarrel.

"What's wrong?" Lawrence felt the emotional fluctuations not far away, and realized that it was Tasna who had a problem, so he walked in quickly with Yubao.

Tasna said directly: "Master, I asked An Yuer and Guoli to cooperate with me to study more effective and more convenient fertilizers for mass production, but An Yuer thought I was not qualified to order her!"

After hearing this, Lawrence roughly understood what was going on.

"Fertilizer is really important for agriculture. Anyuer, let me introduce you to Tasna, who is Bull's disciple and my believer. She is the third diviner in the Ice Land who has mastered divine arts."

After Lawrence introduced, he smiled and said, "I will be involved in the fertilizer matter. I also want to personally participate in such an important matter."

After hearing this, Anyuer and Tasna also put aside their unhappiness.

"Yes, Master."

Lawrence did not go out for a walk and chat, but sat down to learn about fertilizer.

Anyuer's ability is [Tree Fairy]. Tree Fairy is a special existence between trees and humans. Most of the time, its form is that the upper body is human and the lower body is tree roots.

Anyuer is not a tree fairy, but an ability similar to that of this mythical creature. Becoming bigger and disguising as a tree are both derivatives of its ability. (End of this chapter)
