Surrounded by towering trees, these sturdy greenery don't look like winter at all, as if they are still at the junction of autumn and winter.

The temperature in the vicinity was also five or six degrees warmer than outside, and there was an uncomfortable humidity in the air.

Lawrence found that it could be hotter here than outside, or it could be colder than outside.

Humid moisture not only makes summer more uncomfortable, but also makes winter more unbearable.

"Do the people of Clauda like to bathe in hot water?" Lawrence felt too quiet and asked casually.

Sariel led the way, and said without looking back, "The holy spring is a sacred place for cooking and sacrifices, and you are only entitled to soak in it for a while when you are killed. ”

Lawrence was curious: "Then how do you usually take a bath?" ”

"Don't wash it." Saliel gave a very simple reply, adding: "The dirt on your body will clump and fall off on your own, or you can buckle it off yourself." ”

Lawrence thinks that Saliel is still angry that she didn't push the stone for her.

But the stone couldn't push itself.

Lawrence defended himself: I'm still not good at dealing with women, and if I can't be the main one, I feel that getting along with me will be a little unpleasant.

Lawrence thought of Emma again.

The Pumishu, like Emma, will not go to the mountains to live with me and escape the heavy taxes of the lords.

How do you become someone everyone else wants to follow?

Lawrence suddenly thought of the question.

Sophia is her own slave, and theoretically if she owns a lot of slaves, she can be a man who has many obedient people.

But with so many slaves, you need to feed them, at least to live, to have a place to live, or else these slaves will run away.

You also need to have some self-defense, otherwise some slaves may run to the bedside in the middle of the night to look at you.

Lawrence thought about it and found that a fierce man like Andrew was easier to become a leader.

It's something obvious.

To earn respect in this complex area, you must either kill or hit someone.

Previously, because he successfully killed a person in the battle against the Kurs, Pumixiu's people gave basic respect, and the spoils of war would be divided according to the head.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of breaking the air came from the dense forest, and Lawrence subconsciously looked ahead, and saw a spinning thing flying towards him.

Saliel raised her right hand and grasped the flying axe steadily.

"It's me! Sariel! Saliel shouted into the forest ahead, "We're here to exchange supplies!" Brought salt! ”

Lawrence looked ahead in horror, and then looked down at the sharp stone axe in Saliel's hand in front of him.

Soon two men came out of the forest.

The Krodians wore shabby clothes made of animal skins and arrowroot, necklaces made of beast teeth, and helmets of wolf bones and pig bones on their heads.

"Who are they?" Clauda's eyes looked at Lawrence and Sophia.

Sariel solemnly explained, "This weak-looking boy is Lawrence, who has also killed people, and is also a wise wizard! ”

Lawrence was shocked!

Oh no, the witch hasn't seen it yet, and I'm going to be a witch?

Claudaman looked at Lawrence, full of suspicion and wariness, as well as solemnity.

"Kill me with your sorcery, and I'll believe you're a wizard!"

The two Claudaans aimed their spears at Lawrence and approached with extreme caution.

Sarriel quickly said, "He's still an apprentice, he hasn't become a real wizard yet, he's too young. ”

Lawrence quietly closed his mouth and stood honestly where he was.

The two macho men in front of him are both 1.85 meters tall, and although their bodies are not as fat as those of the Pumi Xiu, they are both vigorous and powerful figures.

The Clauda examined Lawrence's figure and appearance up and down, and quickly found evidence of his youth's clean face and thin build, and put away his spear.

"You can't be here, you need the wizard's permission."

Saliel said directly, "I was about to take him to the wizard. ”

The two Kloedas quickly moved out of the way, apparently having some trust in Sariel.

Lawrence followed Sariel past the two barbarians, and when he was far away, he quickly whispered, "Sariel! You didn't tell me this in advance! ”

Sariel said unconcernedly, "It's okay, you know a lot of things anyway." ”

"But I don't know witchcraft!" Lawrence was a little annoyed.

Sariel still didn't care, and said with a smile: "There are many kinds of wizards, and those who can see a doctor are also wizards. ”

Lawrence didn't want to talk nonsense with this woman who couldn't communicate, "Hurry up and close the deal, I want to get out of here quickly." ”

Even if she was beautiful, rich and powerful, Lawrence couldn't stand this woman who always made decisions on her own.

Sariel saw that Lawrence was really angry, both a happy counterattack for Lawrence not helping just now, and an ambivalence of wanting to ease the relationship.

"Don't worry, the people here are very talkative!"

Lawrence was silent, and he flew an axe to greet him as soon as he came, which is good to talk to?

Sariel saw that Lawrence was silent, and continued: "The girls here are very welcoming, my father would find beautiful women to do that kind of thing when he came over, Lawrence if you wanted, and the Clota would send food as a thank you." ”

Lawrence muffled, "No, I'm not that kind of person. ”

It didn't take long for Lawrence to be wise in his decision, and after approaching the forest structures such as tents and shacks, Lawrence met the victim-like Clauda.

Many women are even unclothed, exposing their long and narrow mammalian organs, and the little ones they hold are tearing hard with their mouths like beasts.

Men also wear some animal skin clothes, many women hide in dark shacks and watch outside, and most women wear very few clothes, as if they are only wearing animal skins to keep warm.

Whether it's a young woman or a woman raising children, Lawrence feels like a primitive woman in her thirties and forties, and even many people look strange, like idiots.

Sariel pulled out the double axe at her waist, and some of the curious and eager male Clauda's came no longer close.

After walking through the shack area, Sariel led Lawrence to a clean clearing, with human structures in front of it, such as Andrew's clean and tidy wooden house.

In contrast, it seems to be the living area of two creatures.

There were young Kloda patrolling here, dressed in clean clothes made of animal skins and arrowroot.

Originally, it wasn't clean, but after passing through the shack area outside, Lawrence realized that these people in front of him seemed to be the nobles of primitive people, and they were born to lead the group.

"Sariel, you haven't been here for a long time, why hasn't Lord Andrew come?"

The guard greeted Saliel in a friendly manner, and also looked at Lawrence and Sophia curiously.

Sariel put away the axe and said lightly, "This is my friends Sophia and Lawrence, we have come to exchange supplies, bringing salt and cleaner charcoal." ”

The guards quickly moved out of the way, and the door to the hut was opened, and an old woman with gray hair slowly walked out.

"Sariel, come in."

When Saliel saw the woman, she said happily, "Yes, Loshanda." ”

Lawrence remembers that in the language of the Kingdom of Loven, the word means volcano.

The woman turned and walked into the cabin, and Saliel whispered to Lawrence and Sophia, "Losanda is a witch here, and my daughter Delenn and I are good friends. ”

Lawrence's first encounter with a witch was thrilled and terrified by the magical power of the world.

If he could leave now, Lawrence would definitely want to leave.

However, after Sariel went in directly, Lawrence could only go with Sophia to see the true side of this world.

The wooden house is not a family structure as you would have imagined, and as soon as you enter the house, you can feel the boiling steam, and a round boiling hot spring is located in the center of the room, two meters wide in diameter.

There was a log running across the hot springs, and Rakusanda stepped on it directly from there and walked to the other side.

"We go around and we're going to burn if we fall down, and the water here is hot," Saliel said. ”

Lawrence nodded, incredibly approving.

That wood had been boiling on hot water all the time, and it had been heated by hot air all day, and it must have been slippery to step on.

The three of them went around to half of the room, where there was a hanging stove coming down from the roof, and there was also a red pool half a meter wide on the ground, which emitted an astonishing heat that burned the air above.

Losanda sat in front of the hanging pot, her blue eyes fixed on Lawrence for a short moment, and then she looked at Sophia.

"Who is this girl? Andrew's child? ”

Saliel explained: "It's my good friend! She, like me, doesn't belong here. ”

Losanda nodded, "What did you bring and what do you want in exchange?" ”

"I brought salt, and Lawrence brought charcoal and copper, and we want to exchange hides or something!" ”

Sariel quickly put the salt shaker she was carrying on the ground, and Lawrence put down the charcoal he was carrying.

Losanda did not move, and soon came out of the next room a wild woman in a short skirt of animal skin and a corset.

Sariel took the initiative to say hello, "Delen! ”

Delenn walked up to Saril and had a sturdy bear hug with heryl, and after the two primitive women with equally plump and vigorous bodies embraced, Lawrence had a modern sense of sensuality and health.

Delenn quickly let go of Saliel and looked at Sophia.

"Hello, sister."

Sophia looked at the tall and big sister and hid behind Lawrence.

Delen smiled helplessly, and quickly squatted down to look at the goods on the ground.

She dipped her fingers in the salt shaker and tasted it.

At this time, Lawrence found that when the other party was squatting, the leather skirt in front of him and under him was a little unbearable.

Delenn raised his head and looked at Lawrence with sharp eyes, looked up and down and said, "You want to me?" ”

Lawrence was a little confused, and at this time Saliel quickly said, "He doesn't want to!" ”

Sariel reminded Lawrence, "Lawrence, don't choose the wrong opponent, if you want to do that kind of thing with Delenn, you will be killed!" My father is no match for her, she's the leader here! ”

Loshanda corrected: "Andrew doesn't want to fight Delenn. ”

Lawrence quickly calmed down, and the barbarians on the other side of the ice sea inherited some of the habits of the barbarians of the mountains and forests, such as the fact that the man who was the conqueror wanted to fight if he wanted to get on the woman of the slain.

Literal battles.

The kind of battle that shines on your mouth and face, or kicks down your crotch from time to time, and the reaction is fierce, and you will bite off a piece of meat.

Of course, this kind of deadly rule is only enforced by a few Ice Barbarians, but this is not the Ice Barbarian region, but the more ancient Mountain Barbarian area.

If you want to find a woman here, you don't need parental permission, and you don't need a bride price and a relationship, you just need a strong force value.

This sexy and wild savage beauty in front of her is very easy to use, as long as you can suppress her, press her to the ground so that her hands and feet can't move, and then hit her dizzy with her fists, and she can't fight back.

Be careful, you can't kiss your mouth, or you'll lose your tongue.

As a civilized person, Lawrence said rationally: "Yes, I don't want to, I'm still a child." ”

Delenn gave a bored expression and continued to look down at the rest.

"The salt is very average, the black charcoal is better than the last time, it can be used as a sacrifice to the holy spring, the copper stone can be used to make weapons, the iron nails are good, and it is rare to get this thing."

Delen gave a rough valuation of a few things.

Loshanda listened quietly.

Lawrence felt that the old wizard probably didn't know how to count, so he didn't express his opinion.

Delen, as the chieftain, quickly gave a fair price.

"What do you need in exchange for pigskins, wolf skins, and rabbit skins?"

"You need some clean meat, and you can do it with bronze!" ”

The Clauda people lacked iron tools, but bronze tools were not, and they had their own copper smelting technology, but they were not in great demand.

The whole village is about 160 or 70 people, and only one-third of the shack area is located.

Hunting is not the main business, the main business of the mountain barbarians is breeding and gathering.

The shack area is home to the gatherers, and a third of the people who live near Delen are managers, and a third are artisans and breeders.

Lawrence saw that Saliel and Delenn were exchanging supplies, thought for a moment and said, "I need a bag of soil and some vegetable seeds!" ”

Everyone in the room looked at Lawrence.

Delenn didn't understand, "What do you want soil for?" ”

Lawrence said seriously: "I don't have anything to do in the winter, and I need some fertile soil to grow some vegetables in the house. ”

Delenn looked at Loshanda, a seemingly simple but bizarre request that required the identification of tribal wizards.

Luo Shanda thought for a while and said directly: "No, the soil here is a gift from God, and you can't take it away." ”

"Lawrence is no ordinary man, he's an apprentice wizard, although he doesn't know how to spell yet. ”

Hearing the wizard's apprentice, both Delenn and Losanda looked visibly surprised and shocked.

"Really? Why can't I feel it? Delenn was skeptical.

Sarriel quickly assured, "It's definitely true!" Lawrence is the smartest man I've ever met, and the laziest, he doesn't want to use any effort! ”

Delenn looked at Lawrence curiously, and after repeatedly looking at the young man suspiciously, he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you can take some of the soil and seeds."

With the consent of the wizard, the rest is simple.

Saliel had no intention of staying overnight, and after completing the deal cleanly, she hugged Delen goodbye.

Delenn looked at Lawrence and Sophia, "Goodbye, my sister and brother. ”

Lawrence took the initiative to help Saril push the stone this time, but he didn't work.

Sure enough, the big boulder was pushed!

After closing the gate of the boulder, Lawrence wondered, "Why did she call me brother?" ”

Saliel said casually, "She thinks you and Sophia are wizards like her." ”

Lawrence was concerned about this, "Delenn is also a wizard? What kind of witchcraft does she do? ”

"Delenn can turn the earth into mud and mud into solid rock, but she's still weak and it takes a long, long time to recover if you use it once," said Sariel. ”

Lawrence looked at Sariel in shock, "What about you?" Is your ability to forecast rain? ”

Sariel walked away, looking vigilantly left and right.

"I told you, you can't tell anyone, my father told me not to tell anyone, I didn't even tell Emma."

In a very small voice, Sariel is about to tell the big secret that has been held back for many years.

Lawrence quickly said, "Don't worry! I'm not that kind of person. ”

Sariel was so excited that she was finally able to talk to someone about it.

Of course, other people's words are dangerous, but Sariel feels that Lawrence doesn't care about these things at all, and he won't be afraid of it.

"I actually wanted to tell you a long time ago, and I don't know what my abilities are, but my father told me that he used to be an invincible warrior, and then a witch asked him to have a baby, and it was me!"

Lawrence listened intently to the story, "What about the witch?" ”

"I went to find another man to have a baby." Saliel said casually, "She wants to have a boy." ”

Lawrence didn't expect that the wizarding world was also patriarchal.

"Is that witch in Mount Talim your relative?"

Sariel shook her head, "No, she's a poisonous witch who fled here a long time ago, and neither Clauda nor the Pumixiu have any contact with her, especially since the Pumixiu will be poisoned if they get close to that mountain." ”

Lawrence thought about it and had a very outrageous idea.

[If only she was willing to get along with us, we could borrow some poison gas from her in the spring to kill insects.] 】

Lawrence was carrying a basket of volcanic soil, the soil seeds and fertilizer were ready, and now the pesticides were needed.
