Ripple was continuing to say something, presumably about the Vakiri.

Lawrence couldn't understand what he was saying, and looked at the people nearby, and found that many of the Baumixiu people were also hanging children, and few people were listening.

The only men who are really qualified to discuss the future of Phumixiu Town are Vip, Doug, and the cobbler.

Andrew and the blacksmith used to be one of them, but now Andrew doesn't know where he went, and the blacksmith was killed the last time he was drunk, leaving only three people in the village to make decisions.

Barbarians also have a strict parliamentary system, and the ruler of a territory does whatever he wants.

Aristocrats, freedmen (samurai), slaves, in this quiet town, Vip, Doug, and cobbler are the equivalent of nobles.

Lawrence surveyed the crowd around him again.

Many women between the ages of ten and thirty turn curiosity into enthusiasm and excitement when they make eye contact with Lawrence.

Lawrence quickly stood still and looked at Vep's side, not to get into trouble.

[There are fewer people here, and more than a dozen men died last time, and a teenager like me who can kill has been regarded as a man by the women here, so I'd better be careful. 】

Lawrence remembered something else, and when the town was less populated, both men and women began to think about replenishing the population.

Women will choose to rely on, especially once they join the rule of the count, those nobles' tax commissions and various collection rules will lead to a huge change in the otherwise peaceful way of life.

At present, there are no slaves in the town, mainly because many people do not have this concept, and when they find that the population and household labor are insufficient, they will start the slave trade like the barbarians of the south.

After all, it could not attract anyone to settle here, and if there was no way to replenish the population, then under the exploitation of the nobles, they would either flee to the mountains and continue to be "free people", or they would gradually be converted into slaves of the count.

There is also a kind of future, which is to follow the earl to the south three times a year to rob, and then make a fortune.

Lawrence looked thoughtful.

[Does the Earl want money or people? If you want to be a dignitary, it means that a big fat sheep has been found in the south. 】

[If you want money, it means that the competition for resources in the south is too fierce, and it is not enough for the nobles of Big Hoof City and the Ice Sea Pirates to divide up, so open sources and reduce expenditures. 】

[If you want money and people, it is that the south has encountered a hard bone, and this time it has suffered heavy losses and needs to recuperate. 】

[Unlike Hoof City, pirates do not have the habit of capturing prisoners, one is the trouble of transportation, and the other is that it is easy to control the physical desires of the robbers on the ship after bringing women on board, and further is bloodshed. 】

[It is difficult for outsiders to adapt to the climate of the icy sea, and they will die quickly if they come. 】

As Lawrence pondered the possibilities, Veep in front of him stopped talking.

Speeches in this era are almost all short, because you need to have a loud voice, and you will generally feel uncomfortable for more than a minute, and you can speak for more than five minutes is talented.

The meetings discussed in the room will last a long time, but they will not last more than three hours.

Doug stood up and said, "We have decided to join the rule of the Vakiri, and in the future, our town of Bhumixiu will belong to the fief of Baron Avari!" ”

Lawrence didn't know who Avari was, or who the Count was, but he knew exactly what life would happen to the peasants and serfs in the barony's lands.

Of course, this has nothing to do with yourself, just hide in the mountains by yourself.

"Baron Avari will come over in three days to make his rounds, now go back and prepare a sumptuous meal for the Baron."

Doug exclaimed, "Rejoice! No more robbers will loot our villages and kill our brothers! ”

Lawrence was very speechless, if the noble lord is so good, why didn't you join earlier?

Most of the Bhumithes had a relaxed and happy look on their faces, such as Emma.

Emma was in a very good mood and said: "The snake oil ointment is in my house, let's go get it, and in the future, with the warriors of Vakiri to help us guard the town, we don't have to worry about those robbers anymore!" ”

Lawrence followed Emma towards the house, and the Bhumitheans gathered in the village all dispersed as if they were in a meeting, not caring at all about what had just happened.

Lawrence also understands, after all, if you oppose it, you will have to fight, and you will have to shed blood.

A lot of people have already died in the battle with the Kurs, and if they fight the Vakiri again, then the Pumishu will really die.

Doug saw the departing Saliel in the crowd, quickly caught up and said, "Saliel! ”

Sariel turned around and smiled, "Doug, what's the matter?" ”

Doug said seriously, "You'd better not come here until Andrew comes back." ”

Sariel looked puzzled, "Why?" I need to know why. ”

Doug's face was very serious, "Andrew beat Avari when he passed by Vakiri, although it was not him who did it, but the baron here is not a person who is willing to forgive everything. ”

"Wait until Andrew comes back, the Vakiri people won't come near that mountain, you're safe."

When Sariel heard her father's news, she asked, "What the hell did Andrew do?" Didn't he say to go and borrow money from friends at the beach? Is it going to sea? ”

Sariel frowned, with an unconcealed anger.

Doug reassured: "Don't worry, Andrew is not going to sea for glory this time, he promised us that he will definitely come back with treasure." ”

Sariel calmed down a bit.

Lawrence discovered the keyword, the pursuit of glory? Berserker?

The barbarians of the Ice Sea will call the first warrior to come ashore a berserker.

It's not a golden basin to go ashore, it's the first to board the opponent's bow in a white-knuckle battle, or a warrior who can still stand in the opponent's defense line alive.

The glory of a berserker is to die in battle, and the barbarian kingdom considers that only a heroic death can be called honorable.

Sarriel didn't want to fight either, "I know, we'll go back to the mountains later, and come back in the spring." ”

Doug said: "Andrew will definitely come back at that time, maybe he will be back in more than half a month." ”

Sariel was much more relieved, and also thought that Andrew would come back soon.

Lawrence is still a passerby, and he can't interject into the conversation between Salyl and Doug.

The fact that these two people were able to allow Lawrence to stand and listen to him was already a kind of recognition of him, but at present, Lawrence was not qualified to express his opinion in this kind of matter.

Doug also didn't mean to ask Lawrence for a drink, which in barbarian culture meant not to be close.

Soon the crowd separated, and Lawrence used the "hen that does not lay eggs" that he had been deceived into buying in the village last time, plus a cleaned [broken sheep's hoof], and exchanged ten finger-long nails in the blacksmith's shop.
