Lawrence went down to the living room for tea, thinking about what was next.

Brewing wine, making sauce and vinegar, and building walls.

There is no rush in these things, and there is no need to do it yourself.

There wasn't much left in the fields, just collecting some hay to help the crops survive the winter, or planting some wild fruit in their houses.

Collecting feed, caring for livestock, checking for traps, processing furs......

There are a lot of things that can be done, but everything can be left to someone else to do, so it seems that there are not many things that can be done.

"It's time to take a trip to Pig's Trotter City and see if you can buy domes, which are sold at a low price."

"With Khallan at home to help defend and Doug and the Vakiri busy going out to sea to rob, now is the safest time."

"If you go now, the road is much easier."

"I walked with Sophia for more than half a month, and during this time, I also bypassed several villages, and if I rode a sheep and walked directly on the main road, ten days would be about the same."

The speed of the dom sheep is not fast at all, and after a long ride it is necessary to rest, not much faster than a simple walk, and the main thing that shortens is the time for detours and rest.

"By the way, how did Andrew bring the slaves back last time? Those women didn't look like they could walk fast for more than ten days. ”

Lawrence thought about it for a moment and gradually understood why.

"Andrew was supposed to have come back with Redbeard that time, and they parted when they got closer to the town of Phumesius, one to go to the ice sea further north, and the other to come here."

"It could also be by boat, the location of the Ice Sea and the Pig's Trotter City is close to the sea, and the dom sheep are not suitable for long distances, nor can they walk seven or eight hours a day like people."

While thinking about things, a few people from upstairs came down.

Lawrence looked up the stairs and saw that Kharan had not changed into a skirt and robe similar to everyone else, but had simply wrapped a pair of shorts and a bib.

Sariel came over and said, "Lawrence, Keharan is not afraid of the cold, I asked her to wear more, and she said that it was uncomfortable to wear too much." ”

Khalan explains: "I feel very uncomfortable when I put on clothes, I haven't worn that much in many years and prefer to feel without clothes. ”

Lawrence understands very well, it's like the two dogs outside who now bark uncomfortably whenever they see a leash.

Psychological discomfort reinforces physical discomfort.

Lawrence was very human, "Take your time, you will know how good those clothes are in the winter." ”

Sophia asked, "Master, where does Kehalan live?" ”

"Stayed in an empty room on the second floor." Lawrence pointed to a room outside, which had been reserved for Andrew.

But now Andrew will probably not be back.

It doesn't matter if you come back, you can let Kehalan sleep in the living room or the maid's room, or you can squeeze in a room with the seamstress.

"Then I'll take Keharan to the house, prepare her mattress for sleeping, and show her how to use the dirty bucket." ”

"Okay."

Lawrence discovers that Saliel and Sophia quickly accept Kharlan much faster than Reglo.

Maybe it's that Kharan is more like a woman, and older, like their mother.

Maybe they're both witches, and they're more receptive to each other's kind.

After dinner in the evening, Lawrence asks in his bedroom about Khallan, who has adapted to life here.

"Keharan, I'm going to go to Tranda Hoof City to buy some domme sheep, do you know how to get closer there?"

"You can go by water, through the Wakiri people's place," Keharan said. ”

More than ten years is not a long time, and the general terrain is no problem.

Lawrence said: "I don't want to be in contact with people over there. ”

Keharan thought for a moment, "I remember that there were people living at the foot of the nearby mountains, so I went there to rob it." ”

After being reminded by Keharan, Lawrence thought of the village of Taloki.

Taloki, who had been freed, did not return, nor did he bring his people to settle down.

Lawrence was a little curious about Taloki's current condition, whether he had returned to the village, and how he described himself.

"I'm leaving in two days and expect to be back in a month." Lawrence looked at Kehalan, "You're here to protect Sophia, to protect this manor from invasion, and to protect Sophia first if necessary." ”

Sophia listened quietly, and Keharan said solemnly, "Leave it to me." ”

Lawrence asked, "Is your ability to poison?" ”

Three maids were outside with the Western women praying, and Lawrence specifically allowed them to pray outside for an hour today.

There were only Lawrence and the others in the room, and there were dogs tied to the door of the room and the door of the warehouse behind it.

"No, my ability is ripening," Khallan explained. ”

"Ripening?" Lawrence looked at Kharan in astonishment, "Isn't your ability poison gas?" I've heard people in the neighborhood say that you have the ability to poison animals. ”

"Those people don't understand the wonders of nature at all, and I chose to take refuge in that mountain because there are many fruit trees and flowers," Khalan said. ”

"If the mountains are not buried in time when they are ripe, there will be a rotting poisonous gas, and I can use witchcraft where there is grass and wood, so that animals and people, including me, can breathe the smell of ripeness, like brewed wine."

"I'm not afraid of that, but I don't eat prey that inhales the smell of decay."

Lawrence frowned and asked, "So the poison gas that many people find is actually ...... A mountain full of rotten fruit? ”

"It's a lot of rotten wood, rotten fruits, and rotten leaves, and over the years because no one has been near the animals, a lot of rotten fruit can't be handled, and more and more, and I have to kill those annoying bugs with witchcraft every year, and only in winter can I relax a little bit and sleep well," Kharan explained. ”

"I'm so glad I left that place, and I want to thank you, my master."

Kehalan once again expressed his respect for Lawrence.

Lawrence asked, "Can you kill bugs with witchcraft?" This is also the ability to ripen and ripen? ”

Kohala explains: "There are grasses that can kill bugs when they suck them, and I can also release poison gases, but I need the corresponding poisonous weeds. ”

Sophia was curious: "Can you ripen wheat?" ”

"I've only tried berries." "I can only use witchcraft once a day, but sometimes if I can't control it, the berries will rot quickly. ”

"When I first entered the mountains, I changed the fruit trees every day, which caused many fruit trees to drop their fruit faster, and the fruit there was more prone to rotting, and some people and animals died in the heat."

Lawrence suddenly discovers that the Poison Witch is ridiculously powerful.

Sariel and Andrew's previous descriptions were not wrong, this poisonous witch did have the ability to make flowers and trees die wherever she passed.

Although she herself said that it was not a poisonous ability, after ripening a mountain forest, she could make a mountain full of miasma.

This miasma is more powerful than a simple poisonous ability.

If it is a real fight, Kehalan is probably not Delen's opponent, but if it is a large-scale battle, Kehalan's ability is terrifying.

Keharan can destroy Deren's tribe and force Deren to flee the land.

However, this ability is only suitable for mountainous areas.

"Your abilities are not suitable for large kingdoms, where there are more people, there are fewer trees and flowers, and the terrain is wider."

Lawrence points out the inadequacy of this powerful capability.

Keharan nodded and said, "That's right, the palaces of many kingdoms are built on high places, but I am familiar with all kinds of poisonous flowers and medicinal herbs, and when I assassinate them, I use my own poison to ripen them. ”

Lawrence asked, "Can your abilities be used on animals?" ”

"Nope." "It can only be useful for trees and things that grow in the earth," said Keharan decisively. ”

Lawrence investigates the ability of the Poison Witch, who is a bit close to the life force, which can accelerate the decay of plants into gas.

Maybe...... Can it be used to make wine?

Or grow some indoor fruit in the winter.

Although she definitely doesn't eat this kind of thing herself, she can give it to the rest of the people to supplement the vitamins that are lacking in winter.

There was no rush in this matter, and after confirming that the poisonous witch had the ability to defend, Lawrence began to prepare travel plans.
