Mountain and Forest Kingdom

The twentieth year of the new calendar is coming soon.

Lawrence leaned on the bedside and hugged Sophia and chatted. In the room were Heidi and Catherine who were doing aerobics.

Catherine was relaxing her limbs. After lying down on the carpet, she bent her hands back and touched her equally bent legs.

Because Heidi sits and lies down for a long time, she mainly exercises her waist muscles when doing aerobics.

While Lawrence was chatting, he heard the exclamations of children outside, accompanied by children's laughter and calls.

It was the children having a snowball fight outside, and Yu Bao and Lana also participated.

This year it was a little more crowded than in previous years, and the children running and jumping started to act up.

Sophia said with envy: "Master, those half-elf children stop growing when they are three or four years old. They have to wait many years to grow up."

Elf children initially grow at about the same rate as human children, but once they are able to walk on their own, they enter a long period of infancy.

The development speed of both the mind and the body is more than ten years, or even decades slower than that of humans.

Half-elf children are not that exaggerated. It is estimated that the age of 20 or 30 is equivalent to the age of eight or nine human children.

"Now that this is the case, then just accept it. We have enough safety and protection here to allow them to grow up smoothly, and there is enough food to support them."

"But it is indeed a bit crowded. After the snow outside melts, we will move to the Snow Mountain Castle. There is enough space for us to play as much as we want."

Lawrence grabbed Sophia's tender body, and Sophia nestled happily in Lawrence's arms, "Yes, Master..."

After lying down for a while, Lawrence got up and started the day's work.

There isn’t much work in winter, so I usually do whatever I want.

Lawrence thought about the problem of space and called Salil again who had nothing to do.

"The Oak Courtyard was originally used as a place for a few of us to rest in the afternoon. At the time, I thought it was a bit too big. Now more than ten years later, it is obviously not enough."

Salil smiled and said: "Then build a bigger one!"

Lawrence thought that things were not so simple, nor so extravagant.

"It does not need."

Lawrence and Salil were walking together in the outer corridor where they could see the snowy scenery outside. It was still as warm as summer indoors. The radiators on the walls of the corridor and the floor heating equipment below the ground kept the temperature here at a relatively warm level. the point.

The female warriors standing guard in the corridor can continue to wear short and sexy leather armor. The maids and children passing by and the female slaves watching the scenery by the window only wear thin skirts or shorts with small sleeves.

The woman nearby bowed her head in salute to Lawrence, and the children passing by quickly stopped and lowered their heads nervously and embarrassedly.

Lawrence smiled and greeted the warrior maid and children, walking past them.

"The main reason is that we have too many people. Wherever we are, it will be crowded, but we will not be here for a long time."

After hearing this, Salil persuaded and said: "I think this place is very good. Although Snow Mountain Castle is also very good, I still feel that it is very good to be here all the time."

Lawrence understood what Salil was thinking. Salil wanted a fixed home and didn't like to move around.

Lawrence also agreed with this idea, but the reality was that neither Snow Mountain Castle nor Oak City were suitable.

Neither place could accommodate much of the population, Oak City was not in the right location and had too little space.

The Snow Mountain Fort cannot support too many people due to the relationship between soil and water flow.

"Let me think about it, Saryl, you are right, we must have a long-term home that does not require moving."

Lawrence, who values ​​his family, does not allow his women to have such uneasy thoughts, so he must solve this problem and give Salil and the other women a stable home.

Sariel suggested: "Isn't it good to be here in Oak City? I don't like Snow Mountain Castle. It's too big. I don't like the open space. The silence makes me uncomfortable. And you see we have such beautiful oak trees here. , you can’t see it if you leave here.”

Lawrence quickly thought of a good place.

"I have thought of a very good place. Although it does not have the housing buildings and various facilities we have here, it will definitely be very good once it is built!"

Salil sighed with a grimace, "We have to move again..."

Lawrence put an arm around Salil's shoulders, "Don't worry, it is definitely a very good place. There is no eternal night there, it is warm as spring all year round, there are no serious snowstorms, and the weather is sunny and sunny everywhere."

Salil looked puzzled, "How come such a good place is not occupied by anyone?"

Lawrence smiled proudly, "Yes, that is the common hometown of all elves, and it is also where the Elf Queen has lived for generations."

"The Elf King's Court?" Salil quickly realized where it was.

Lawrence nodded and said, "Yes, it's the Elf King's Court. The soil there is fertile, the water resources are abundant, and the transportation is basically open. You can go to Feiyu Port or Snow Mountain Castle."

"When transportation becomes more convenient in the future, from there we can control Io, Glen, Waves, Feiyu Port, and the Ice Land."

Whether it is transportation or politics, the Elf King's Court is the most suitable central area.

The only flaw is that the control over coastal areas will be reduced, but this is not a problem in an era of gradually developed transportation.

The key military force in the future world will be the navy, and the navy needs steel, shells, and gunpowder.

These are the technologies in the mountains. With the current system and technology, controlling the military is not a problem.

Of course, the most important thing is to manage it yourself. Lawrence knows very well that what suits him is not suitable for others. It is useless to think too much. Now, in general, it is the best decision for the present and the future to stay in the Elf Forest.

Sariel can't make a decision by herself, or she may simply want to share. She quickly said: "I'll ask Deren and the others! I'll give you an answer later!"

It has always been Lawrence who makes decisions, but it doesn't prevent Sariel and the others from discussing it when they are free.

Lawrence looked at Sariel who walked out quickly and continued to walk with a smile.

Yubao and Lana were still playing snowballs in the courtyard. Because of the mischief of these children, the maids had no time to clean the snow in the yard.

The girls of the Saint's College were still in class. When the bell for the break rang, they quickly ran down like a tide to play in the snow.

Lawrence liked this lively scene. This kind of vitality and joy from the heart was the only weapon to fight the cold winter.

Of course, you have to eat a full stomach and drink a cup of warm milk.

Under Lawrence's instructions, the maids who had nothing to do quickly went to the kitchen to get busy and started to heat milk for the female students and children, and put sugar in it.

Clara and Lolita worked hard, openly poured themselves a large glass of milk with a spoon, and shamelessly added a handful of sugar.

"More! More!" Lolita likes sweet milk.

Tim looked at his good friend unceremoniously with a spoon, "You can't drink it if you add it like this! Go and light the fire!"

The two flower witches quickly drank the hot milk, and then went to work contentedly.

The two children did not want to inherit the job of bedroom maids. They were very satisfied with their current jobs. (End of this chapter)
