After entering the city, Lawrence first went to a slave house.

A few new slave houses have opened in the city, and there are more carriages and shops on the streets than there were last year.

When I walked to the slave house where I met Sophia, it had changed its name.

【Golden Oak Bakery】

Not only had the name changed, but the house was much newer than before, and if it weren't for the familiarity of the surrounding buildings, Lawrence would have almost thought he had made a mistake.

Lawrence, too, was hungry and walked into the house.

The bakery here resembles a tavern, and the bread stove resembles a blackened stove like a blacksmith's shop, so when you enter the house, you will see a simple table made of wood and a blackened bread oven.

The owner of the bakery, a man who looked to be in his thirties, was on a table by the wall and looked up when he sensed someone walking in.

"Now there is only cold bread, and you will have to wait a little longer for cooked bread, but cold bread is cheaper."

After the man finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to work.

Lawrence looked at the bakery, and behind the man there was a wooden door leading inside.

"Then give me two loaves of bread."

The man looked up at Lawrence, "There are no two, a copper and thirteen loaves of bread." ”

Lawrence nodded, "I don't have copper, can I exchange this silver coin?" ”

Hasadi looked at the silver coin on the table, patted the gray flour on his hand, and picked it up and looked at it.

"This is a silver coin from outside, I don't know how much, but I can buy a lot of bread, where did you get it?"

Lawrence smiled, "I want to ask one thing, this was a slave before, right?" How did it become a bakery? ”

Hasadi put the silver coin on the table, continued to work, lowered his head and said flatly: "Last year there was a fire, and then I bought this place at a low price and opened a bakery, and the business is not bad, and I often receive strange things that are not money." ”

Lawrence asked, "Are the slaves in there dead too?" ”

Hasadi looked up at Lawrence, "What are you asking for?" ”

Lawrence explained, "I had bought slaves there, and there was a slave in the slave house that I had eye-catching, but I didn't have the money to buy it. ”

Hasadi said disdainfully: "There are many slave houses outside, so you can take a look at them." ”

Lawrence asked, "Do you know where those slaves were?" ”

"Dead! All dead!! Hasadi looked at the teenager impatiently, "Take your dirty stuff and get out!" ”

Lawrence felt that this person was abnormal, and the reason for his anger was abnormal.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lawrence left the place with Sariel.

Sariel asked, "What's next?" ”

Lawrence took the sheep and said, "I'll go find my friend and ask about the situation here." ”

Lawrence, who had lived here for many years, had quite a few friends, most of whom were minor people, but they should all be alive.

Sariel asked, "Why don't you go to your house?" ”

Lawrence decisively denied: "No, my family will definitely let me pay taxes to them every year after knowing that I am farming outside, or they will directly stop me from leaving and let me work on the farm." ”

"They think I'm crazy and think I'm going to farm in the mountains, or they think I'm deliberately rebelling against them and beating me up."

Sarryl was stunned at this strange description.

If the prophet of Crowfeather Manor is caught by his current family, then he will be a poor boy for the rest of his life and be bullied.

There were stalls in town where people sold vegetables and fruits, and Lawrence soon found his farm partner Martin, who sold produce.

However, without contacting him rashly, Lawrence went to exchange currency first.

On the way to the black market, Lawrence saw a somewhat impressed figure on the street.

Lawrence followed the woman and walked back to the Oak Bakery.

"Ulla!" Lawrence called out the other party's name.

The wife carrying the basket in front of her turned her head and looked at Lawrence.

There was some confusion in her eyes.

Ulla looked at the two young men, "Who are you?" ”

Lawrence walked over and said, "We met here last fall, when Malov recommended you to me, but I didn't have the money at the time. ”

Ula's eyes quickly brightened, "Is that you?" What about Sophia? Where is she? ”

Lawrence explained: "I have made a home elsewhere, she is waiting at my house for me to come back, this time I came over to buy something, by the way, I asked if Helen was still there, Sophia was worried about her. ”

Ulla said happily: "Yes! Follow me, Helen is here! ”

Lawrence followed Ula inside, and took a passing glance at Ulla's basket, which contained carrots and potatoes, apparently for home cooking.

Judging by the fact that she was free to go out and buy these vegetables, it wasn't a bad time here.

Things soon became clear.

Helen's husband quietly came to find someone after Helen was captured, and later used the assets transferred in advance to occupy their territory because the barbarians moved south to occupy their territory.

Lawrence met Helen in a closed room on the second floor, and Helen was now much darker than when they first met, and the clothes she wore were no longer beautiful new clothes, but the rough dresses worn by ordinary women.

The fabric is coarse and stiff, like a crust that has been clumped together.

A year has passed, and not only has Lawrence become stronger, but Helen has also had a child, and the child in her arms is sleeping quietly at this time.

"Sophia, is she okay?"

Helen looked at Lawrence, who had become taller and stronger, and it took more than ten seconds to determine that he was the person in her memory.

Lawrence smiled: "She's fine, just like me, she can eat bread and meat every day, as well as eggs and goat's milk, I built a manor in the mountains, and she is now in charge of the house, this is a letter written by Sophia." ”

Lawrence brought Sophia's letter to Helen, eight sentences recorded on a parchment scroll.

Helen took the parchment and looked at it carefully, and sighed, "I often think that if I insisted on letting Sophia stay, she would have been rescued with me, so I always blame myself for it. ”

"Now that you've brought good news, I'm finally able to sleep peacefully."

Lawrence said: "You are okay now, Sophia can rest assured, I will go back after buying sheep and cows, I can't let Sophia wait too long." ”

Hasadi stood aside and listened, and said at this time: "Lofen III now occupies the kingdom of Norsenri in the south and has become the king there, and many people have moved there. ”

"Now the city of Trandahoof has been rewarded to Duke Rydra, a murderous and lascivious man, I killed the slave owner's family and blocked the news that Helen is still alive."

"Helen will be in great trouble if she is seen here, and I hope you don't talk about it."

Lawrence knew that Helen was just an ordinary person, not a witch.

But she's so beautiful that she can easily get into trouble.

There are actually many beautiful women in the world, and these beautiful women are not so conspicuous in slave houses and some taverns, and if they appear in ordinary homes or serious shops, they will arouse the covetousness of some people.

Although this is a beautiful woman, Lawrence is also a man with a family, and the burden on his body is not small.

Pretty is beautiful, farm work is definitely not possible, combat things are not good, and special abilities are impossible.

And in three or four years, this beauty will be greatly reduced.

"Of course not, I'll buy a mount and go back."

Hasadi nodded, "That's the best, I'll give you some bread to eat on the way." ”

Lawrence felt that the man was very unwelcoming to him, and at the same time he didn't care about Sophia's situation, and he didn't even read Sophia's letter.

Of course, Lawrence didn't like this man either, and cheekily asked for other information.

"I'm not very familiar with things here, after the king occupied a large part of the southern kingdom, those nearby countries didn't move?"

Helen explained: "There were food problems in several nearby countries, many people starved to death without potatoes, and the upper nobility was busy suppressing the peasants. ”

"The kings pooled together a sum of money to Lofen III, and the Holy Light Church also recognized the legitimacy of Lofen III and declared the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Lofen."

"Now Lofen III has promised not to loot the southern countries, but to do business with the southern countries in the future, and to rob the richer Eastern Islands."

Lawrence had long thought that the potato problem would lead to war, but he didn't expect the potato problem to destroy the populous southern kingdom, so that the other kingdoms had to admit the kingdom of Lorfen under internal pressure.

Now Lofen III has joined the alliance of kings of the Southern Kingdom, and has become a believer in God along with several other old kingdoms.

Lawrence knew that Lofen III would not live long.

These barbarian nobles and kings may be very powerful, but they do not understand the weight of history, and they do not have the time to read or think.

They only did what they thought they could do, and after receiving the money, they happily let them go, promising to go to someone else.

Lofen III will die! The barbarian nobles and senators will surely assassinate him!

This capitulation faction thought that he could call the shots for the barbarians of the entire Rofen Kingdom, and he accepted the benefits of the church and the rest of the country to live a comfortable life, but if the other barbarians didn't rob, how could they maintain the current good life?

The Eastern Islands are much more populous than here, they are temperate, have a large population, and have a lot of magicians.

A barbarian is a barbarian, without historical accumulation and cultural atmosphere, at most it is the extent of leaving a mark.

Lawrence judged that the chaos would continue, and that there might be another call in the future, so he left the bakery at the urging of Hassady.

After walking out, something suddenly occurred to Sariel.

"Doug: They're going to attack the Suman Islands in the East this year?"

Lawrence thought for a moment, "I don't know. ”
