Mountain and Forest Kingdom

The nuns' summer vacation is coming to an end soon

Lana waited for the nuns at the manor to pack their clothes and had breakfast with the nuns at the Dume Harbor Convent.

Bull had come back from outside and was talking non-stop while others were eating, saying some encouraging words.

No matter how much others heard, Lana didn't hear a word.

It was still very hot in the morning, and Lana, who was sitting in the cafeteria, wanted to eat popsicles.

The fish treasure and the fish monster were sitting in a corner not far away. The fish treasure was lying on the table with open hands listlessly, and the fish monster was still lying on the rocky ground to enjoy the coolness as usual.

I didn’t want to eat anything too hot on a summer morning, so the monastery chefs quickly served appetizing cold dishes.

Normally, the nuns would prepare meals themselves. Only during certain events and ceremonies specially prepared for the nuns would the rest of the group serve meals to the nuns.

This time the sisters from the Manor Abbey are coming for vacation, so they have to be well entertained.

In the autumn, the nuns and sisters of the Dume Harbor Monastery also go to the mountains for vacation.

For Lana, there was nothing fun in the mountains except work.

But for many children who have grown up in Dumu Port and have never been to the mountains, the Prophet's Manor gives people a very mysterious feeling, and they want to go there to see the first church and the first monastery in the Kingdom of the Stars.

As the initial monastery, the Manor Abbey has stronger symbolic and practical significance than the Dume Harbor Abbey.

Lawrence may not necessarily go to the monastery when he comes to Durmport, but when he goes to the manor and Ironforge, he will go home to visit.

For Lawrence, the manor was his first real home and his current home.

The delicious breakfast of cold vegetables refreshed both Yu Bao and the fish monster, and they began to eat small berries, sea vegetables and kelp, as well as breakfast made of white cold skin.

Bull had finished his speech and was sitting at a table with the other old nuns in the convent, waiting for the meal to be served.

Their food is the same as that of other nuns, including eggs, seaweed cold skin, and seaweed egg drop soup.

It's been too hot these days, so I didn't make bread in the morning. I bought fresh bread from a specialized bakery outside.

Mercier and the maids and maids shared a dining table. There was no custom here where the master and the servants ate separately.

In fact, there are such rules and habits, but Stana felt that there was no difference between Mercier and her servants, so she asked them to sit down and eat together, causing Mercier and the others to think that this was the rule here.

After all, Stana will also eat with other ordinary nuns, and even the pet sea people will eat with humans.

Mei Xier was eating cold skin. She had learned to eat with chopsticks and also learned the eating habits of people here.

For example, you can talk and move around while eating, but you can't affect other people.

After finishing the food on the plate, you can go and prepare your own meal. You can ask for whatever food you want here, as long as you can finish it or don't leave too much left, it doesn't matter.

There are delicious and novel foods here every day, so there is no need to eat repetitive and unpalatable foods every day.

Mei Xier feels that comparing food from her own country with food here is disrespectful to food.

There is no doubt that this is a rich and powerful country!

The nobles here do not need any orders from the king. They come here every day carrying bags filled with gold and silver treasures, handing over their lifetime treasures to the king here, the powerful prophet!

What Mercier saw, the caravans and nobles from the east also saw it.

Just like the rumors, the Kingdom of Stars has incredible power and incredible wealth.

After the meal, everyone sang and prayed together, and then said goodbye to each other.

Lana had not experienced any inseparable friendships in the convent, so it was natural to leave. She did not understand the little nuns around her who could make new friends for the first time and still cried when they parted.

The fish treasure and the fish monster couldn't understand either. They both often came to manage the fishery, and they couldn't understand the nuns crying around them.

It is normal for women to bark. Fish monsters and fish treasures often hear meaningless barking, so they are not curious about it.

Lana took the hands of the big fish monster and the little fish treasure and led the two sea tribes onto the train.

Although the fish monster's head is a hard fish head, its hands just look rough, and are roughly the same as human hands except for the color.

Mei Xier led a large group of subordinates onto the "witchcraft train" and nervously observed the layout of the car, fearing that something would be broken.

"Squeeze! Squeeze in!" Aruqiu came over and asked everyone to squeeze in, because there were not many places for extra people.

The nuns quickly sat together, and five people sat where three people had originally sat. Only then did a carriage become available for the prophet's slave girl.

Lana didn't know Mercy well, and she didn't care about the foreigners.

After getting in the car, Lana looked at the nuns who were crying hard and found that they were already playing cards and talking and laughing.

Lana, who had just envied the friendship of these girls, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if her favorite meal was placed in front of her, but she suddenly didn't want to eat it.

Lana sat on her seat and looked out the window at the port buildings that were gradually getting away. From here, she could already see the mountainous farmland outside and the reservoir dug out of the mountain.

"Tim is not a nun, there is no fall break, neither is Eve, nor is Clara and Lolita."

"Fou should come to the monastery in the autumn, but we don't know each other well."

Lana and the Valkyrie female warrior Fuo haven't spoken much, and they haven't seen each other for a year or two. However, when she thinks of her friends, she still thinks of this woman who doesn't know if she can be considered a friend.

Lana soon continued to think about her friends. There were several girls working with her in the manor and monastery, and she also knew several haenyeo who worked in the prophet's house and monastery in Dumu Port.

The rest are the children of the farmers and craftsmen of the manor, and friends from Oak City, such as the swordswoman Sophie.

Lana felt like she had few friends and the world was small, unlike running around like a prophet.

But running around can be tiring.

After Lana was full, she felt bored and didn't want to play cards with others, so she stood up and prepared to take a walk.

She was too tired from taking the train and too tired from running around. Lana still wanted to go home early and continue her peaceful life.

Don’t think too much, just do one job for a day.

Lana quickly went to the toilet, washed her face and wasted some water, and then came back.

Mei Xier and others in the carriage not far away were looking curiously at the scenery passing by. Everything here was extremely new to them.

The train that traveled over mountains and ridges slowly reached its destination and slowly stopped at Crow Feather Station.

This is not Mountain Breeze Station, nor Ironforge Station, but Crowfeather Station, which is named after Lawrence.

The train station is located five hundred meters away from Ironforge. It is slightly away from the residential area and the manor to prevent too much noise from affecting the sleep of the children in the manor when driving at night.

Tall, leafy trees were planted between the train station and Ironforge, blocking out most of the noise.

Special rail cars are responsible for cargo transportation, and fixed cranes are also used for cargo loading and unloading.

Most of the time, Ironforge needs ore to be transported upwards, and various machinery and iron tools are produced downwards, so a crawler-type steam conveyor belt is used to transport fragmented ores upwards, and rail cars are used to transport the broken ores upwards. Transport up the hill to the train station down the hill.

People, vegetables, food and other materials are separated by double-ring roads and divided according to different roads to quickly increase the distribution speed of various materials and people at the train station.

Mercier and others followed the nuns out of the building, which was built like a noble mansion, and soon after walking forward, they saw the mountains and manor in the distance.

Before they could take a closer look at this legendary god-given place, Mercier and her men saw a terrifying scene.

In the wilderness on the mountainside, a huge black beast was running through the mountains with dozens of giant wolves, heading towards the mountains in the distance.

"Warcraft!" Mei Xier quickly shouted loudly.

Her maids and maids began to panic, and began to think of ways to escape and save their lives.

But soon Mercier discovered that the nuns around her were looking back at her, with strange expressions in their eyes, completely devoid of panic or fear.

Mercier quickly lowered her head.

Aluqiu came over and said: "Those big dogs are not monsters, they are the guards here. The biggest one is the prophet's partner. Don't run around, otherwise they will not let you go if they are discovered."

Aruqiu gave a few words of warning, and soon consciously stayed to lead the foreigner to familiarize himself with the situation here.

The brothers and sisters are still here to study the matter of chemical fertilizers. However, Stana, who originally proposed this matter, does not need to continue her research here because of the monastery.

Their mother, Daphne, is here with them, but she doesn't look happy, not since leaving the luxurious Oak Castle.

Mercier followed the young elf towards the manor monastery. This manor monastery did not look old, and overall gave people a quiet and peaceful feeling.

But what kind of monastery are those monasteries guarded by giant beasts?

Mei Xi'er began to care. There must be something very important hidden here, so there was a giant wolf guarding it.

But there was nothing...but the food was really good!

The prophet that Mei Xier was waiting for still didn't come back.

Two days later, Mercy went out to work with the nuns.

It wasn't Lana who asked her to work. The princess from the east and Lana didn't speak, and neither party noticed the other's presence.

I saw it, but I didn't pay attention to it, and I didn't think of talking to the other party.

Working is what all the nuns do, and Aluqiu and Kadar also have to go out to work. In order to prevent no one from watching the foreign princess who likes to wander around, he takes them with him.

Neither Torrevi nor the Kadar brothers knew how to treat such guests.

At the end of summer, it’s time to go up to the mountains to pick fruits.

Mercier and the nuns went to the Orange Mountain more than an hour outside the city to collect fruits. Here you can see many big dogs and puppies, as well as many large and small wild boars.

Whenever a stupid wild boar approaches the crowd, the nuns and guards here will beat the stupid pigs away with sticks.

There are also obedient big dogs patrolling nearby. In many cases, no one is needed to drive them away. These big dogs chase and drive away the approaching wild boar.

While Mei Xier was collecting wild fruits with other girls of the same age, she suddenly felt a dangerous aura.

This time, Mei Xier quickly looked around and found that the big dogs not far away were also starting to bark.

Are you in danger?

Mei Xier felt that this was normal.

Soon the nuns gathered together and counted each other's number.

"Leave here, don't move the fruits that can't be moved, leave them to Pig."

"Yu Bao, see if there is anyone who is not here."

"Awoo~" Yu Bao quickly played the role of a puppy and began to look for the nun who ran away.

A huge noise came from the distance, and the nuns and big dogs nearby began to retreat in an orderly manner.

It felt like they were in danger, but it was a little bit unlike.

Mei Xier walked away from the previous position with doubts.

After waiting for a few minutes, a huge beast came out of the forest.

This wild boar king, who seemed to have a bad temper, used his fat body to violently hit several small trees and dead trees nearby, and then walked to the edge of a slightly empty forest nearby, standing there and looking over here.

The wild boar, which looked ferocious and terrifying, did not run towards this side, and soon lowered its head to eat the wild fruits on the ground.

"What is that?" Mei Xier asked Aruchu about the beast.

Aruchu said, "It's the prophet's friend, the guardian of Orange Mountain."

Mei Xi'er was even more curious about the great prophet.

The busy Lawrence didn't take the Eastern princess to heart. The prophet who was inspecting Snow Mountain Castle and Flying Fish Harbor did not return to the Ice Land, and still collected inheritance tax in the controlled areas in the west of the Star Country.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. Lawrence must implement the inheritance tax so that others can implement and abide by this system.

In addition to the inheritance tax, Lawrence also cared about the nobles and immigrants who migrated from the Ice Land and strengthened the connection between these immigrants and the Ice Land.

Allowing the descendants of these immigrants to return to the Ice Land, allowing the outstanding ones to enter the academy for promotion, and allowing some meritorious people to enter the Ice Land are Lawrence's promises to these people.

The young Lawrence had enough time and patience to complete these things.

When Lawrence rode the unicorn back to the Ice Land, it was already winter.

The world was conquered by snowflakes and the rivers were frozen by ice, but under the ice, there was an intoxicating and comfortable warmth.

Mercier, who was brought to Oak Castle, has been enjoying a comfortable life here for two or three months. She has long been accustomed to the luxurious life of taking a comfortable bath in the bathtub after drinking a few glasses of beer every day.

Mercier doesn't like public large baths, nor does she like the swimming baths used by saints.

She prefers shallower baths, and she prefers this private bath where she can see the snow-capped mountains and snowflakes outside while bathing.

There were footsteps outside, and Lawrence walked in and quickly sat next to Mercier.

There was no need for extra explanations and inquiries. Mercier had already known her man from the witch's portrait. (End of this chapter)
