"Master Lawrence!"
Seravin has a new owner and recognizes the new owner in terms of identity.
When Lawrence heard this, he said, "Call me Mr. Lawrence, and you will work for me here until spring comes." ”
Salavon and EDI were silent.
Lawrence asked, "Answer?" I talk to you, you have to answer me, Freesson told you to do things, and you replied to him with silence? ”
Seravin hurriedly said, "I will be obedient!" ”
Lawrence found that most of the barbarians didn't know how to reply.
Being able to negotiate and reply to inquiries from others is generally the ability of wealthy people with formal education.
For the barbarians, it was probably a slightly better response than the beasts.
Give food, give clothes, they will take food and clothes and quickly move away from danger, there is no concept of kindness.
Fortunately, the barbarians in Phumixiu Town have had more communication with each other because of their long-term peace relationship, and they have developed relatively complex concepts.
They weren't beasts after all, but they weren't good slaves either.
The Southern Kingdom definitely doesn't like these barbarian slaves, they are neither docile nor intelligent, and they have a high probability of smashing their masters.
A normal southern aristocrat with a brain, who would use a barbarian captive as a slave?
The main reason Lawrence swapped the couple's slaves was that they communicated more easily than the rest of the slaves.
He saw gratitude and recognition in Seravon and EDI's eyes, especially when they first met today, and saw the two of them standing behind Frisen with a humble gesture of awe at him.
Being able to communicate is the reason why Lawrence accepts them, otherwise it is to directly exchange the three female slaves for food, at least Lawrence does not have a place for those three female slaves here.
"You don't have to answer that, I'll let you do things later, and if you do, I'll say, Yes, Mr. Lawrence."
"If you don't do it, you'll be beaten."
Lawrence explains the situation and how to deal with it.
Seravin and EDI looked at Lawrence nervously, and didn't reply as they should.
All they had now was fear and nervousness, and perhaps fists and whips would let them know they were going to work, but they couldn't understand Lawrence's rules for the time being.
Lawrence felt strange: I was normal when I communicated with Andrew, Sariel, and Doug.
If Andrew and Doug have a strong relationship, then why is Emma, who is in normal dealings with me?
Could it be that the barbarians here in the North can't understand this simple conversation?
Lawrence quickly remembers Emma and quickly discovers why.
Emma has always been Sariel's partner, often in charge of the village and the mountain, whether it is courage or initiative to negotiate.
When the Bhumithes were attacked and Emma's children and brother died in this disaster, Emma bravely picked up farm tools to fight for revenge.
In order to have a better life in the future, Emma will also participate in the war against the Dum with her family.
Emma may not be as strong as Sariel, but she is a brave woman.
On the contrary, the two Bumishians in front of them are the garbage that drags them back.
"Now go to work, you two go fetch water first."
Lawrence arranged things for them and personally took them to the water's edge to break the ice and get water.
Although there are some problems in communication, this is not a big deal, as long as you follow it slowly, you will almost know it.
They also have basic life skills, except that they are not good at fighting and dare not resist, the other is the relationship between thinking and knowledge, which is not as easy to understand as an educated person.
Sophia was now very distrustful of the other slaves, and found Lawrence and whispered, "Master, shall we stay here and watch them, or shall we go to the mountains?" ”
"I think it's better to stay," Salil said. ”
Lawrence disagreed, "It's a better place to live and develop in the mountains, there's more land to expand there, and there's a metal mining area near it, which will be used as a trading place in the future." ”
"There is more grass and shrubs in the mountains to feed livestock, and there is a river nearby, so I plan to clear farmland in the area where the river passes, so that we can also feed in the future."
Sophia said, "It's warm in the house on the hill! It was much warmer than here and very comfortable to sleep at night! ”
Lawrence continued to Saliel: "It's good that Seravin and EDI take care of some of the livestock here, and in the future, Seravin will be responsible for mining, EDI will be responsible for collecting firewood and cooking and raising pigs, and we will live in the mountains ourselves. ”
"If you need anything, go to the town of Bhumixiu or trade in the mountains."
Sariel still likes a quiet life, and after hearing Lawrence's description, she nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt the responsibility on his shoulders.
Going to the mountains is mainly unclear about what Andrew will do, and what the Vakiri will do after he kills Avari.
After learning about the barbarians' culture of war, Lawrence had to do something about his life and that of his family.
Lawrence quickly gathered up the things she needed with Saliel and moved them to the mountains with two domes.
Sophia led a sheep in the back, and the remaining five sheep waited for tomorrow.
Only chickens and pigs are left at the bottom of the mountain, and the sheep suitable for grazing sheep are pulled to graze on the mountain.
Lawrence walked towards the mountain, looking at the rugged mountain road in front of him, because of the previous choice of a safe road, the distance up and down the mountain was now shortened to two hours of walking, and about seventy minutes of sheep riding.
However, it can be shortened, for example, some steep places that need to be detoured can be directly used to go up and down with ropes, or you can dig stairs on steep rock walls.
This is estimated to take a few years.
Lawrence said to the two beautiful girls who were leading the sheep beside him: "When the snow melts in winter, we can make some ladders and bridges out of wood, so that the distance up and down the mountain can be shortened to less than an hour." ”
Sariel showed a shocked expression, "Can you also make a bridge on the mountain?" ”
Lawrence said casually: "You can, even if necessary, make a drawbridge that you can lower down from the mountain, put it down when you go, and pull it up when you don't need it." ”
He was talking about the kind of drawbridge in front of the ancient city gates, which Sariel had never seen before, and after thinking about it, she showed an even more shocked expression, obviously imagining something that was out of common sense according to her barren insight and imagination.
"Can that stuff be done?" Sariel looked at Lawrence curiously.
Lawrence knew very well that Sariel was thinking differently from himself, "I don't have that ability at the moment, just wait until there are more of us in the future." ”
Sariel nodded, noting the matter.
Lawrence soon took Sariel and Sophia back to the stone cabin on the mountain.
Standing in front of the house and looking at the lower and lower hillsides around him, Lawrence saw a large area of fertile land and undeveloped land.
