182 Solidarity
Lawrence crouched near a potato field in the forest, grabbed a handful of dirt, and felt the cold wetness between his fingers.
The melting snow on the mountain moistens the fertile soil near the mountain wall, which also converges in low-lying rivers along different roads and rushes downstream.
"Now there are some areas that don't need irrigation, and some areas need irrigation, mainly the fields on the hillsides and the fields below the mountains."
Sophia stood beside Lawrence, put her little hand on Lawrence's shoulder and said, "It's going to rain tomorrow, Sister Sariel is right." ”
Lawrence was not so optimistic, dropping the dirt in his hand and looking into the distance.
The cold weather has little effect on the potatoes and crops, the temperature in the soil is actually not low, and there is a lot of waste fermented in the soil, and it is actually better to lower the temperature when ice water seeps into the soil.
Lawrence stood up, walked to a nearby tree, and rubbed his dirty hand against the tree's bark, rubbing the dirt off it.
"Clean up the weeds, and it's time to fix the hooves of the sheep and cows."
Sophia nodded, "Hmm! ”
Lawrence explains: "The hoof repair is to protect the hooves of the cattle and sheep, and now the snow is melting, the ground is wet, and it will rain tomorrow, and the wet weather will make the hooves rot and deteriorate." ”
"If the hooves are rotten, you will basically wait to die, whether it is a big boar or a dom sheep, you need to pay attention to this."
Lawrence wants to train Sophia to be his helper, and in addition to his knowledge of calculations, he usually tells her whatever comes to mind.
"I remember!" Sophia nodded in response.
Lawrence was about to continue saying something, when Saliel proposed, "Lawrence, you don't need your bow and arrows anyway, how about using it for Sophia?" She has good eyes, maybe she is suitable to be an archer. ”
Lawrence said: "Yes, after a while, we have more important things to do in the next few days." ”
Salil nodded, "Okay." ”
Keharan wondered, "What's the matter?" To the Claudadians? ”
"I'll talk about it in the afternoon, follow me inside first." Lawrence walked towards the forest.
Delenn and Kharlan followed, and the two women, both physically and powerfully, were strong enough to act as Lawrence's protective shield.
Sariel and Sophia follow suit, and Sariel holds an axe to prevent accidents.
Lawrence walked towards the hill wall, also thinking about his own safety.
At this stage, the most stable alliance must be the family, although the family is destined to be a special organization with a few people as the core, but seven or eight people must be there.
Both Delenn and Kehalan have mastered mystical powers, and both have become their own followers.
Under the manor system, the owner of the manor and the force and technology of the manor should maintain one mind, and the safest way is to live together all the time.
Not every witch will sleep on the second floor, it's the witch who needs to support him now and in the future.
If Sariel had only been a friend living in a house on the mountainside, she would never have been so close to protection, she would not have been in charge of the manor twenty-four hours a day, and she would not have done her best to help every time she encountered trouble.
Sophia is the same, if she doesn't sleep together for a few years, Lawrence feels that according to her own personality, if she separates the house for a long time, she will really be raised as a daughter.
It is very pleasant to get along with Keharan, which is not only a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also a family relationship.
With Kehalan's example, it was natural for Delen to fit into the family.
Now Delen, Saliel, and Keharan are their own shieldmaidens.
The shield maidens around the lord are either daughters, or wives, or the escort of wives and daughters.
This era is more open than the future, and it is normal for something to happen between men and women.
The harsh living environment leads to the necessity of unity for everyone.
Friendship and loyalty do not suit this era, there is no concept of a state and a monarch, and the so-called chivalry has not yet entered the brain.
If there were so many faithful protectors, assassinations would not be so frequent.
The last assassination taught Lawrence that he had to have someone around him who was willing to protect him.
Reglo is an employment relationship, and he can be regarded as a life-saving grace, and he is a weakened version of Andrew, who is willing to live a peaceful life in the manor.
If Deren doesn't take the initiative to keep it, she may go back.
She didn't have a strong desire to go back, but if no one took the initiative to keep her, and she strongly demanded that she be here all the time, then Deren might feel uncomfortable and leave one day.
There are always times when women are uncomfortable, in a bad mood, or feel left out and so on.
If you give it a name, these are not a problem, and you don't feel that you really don't need yourself here.
What's more, Delenn is the sexy girl he has always thought about, and Lawrence's thoughts about Delenn are not a day or two.
He's always been very honest, and both Sariel, Sophia, and Deren know it.
Lawrence has no physical problems, and he has no mental problems, but he can't beat Deren when he didn't think about that kind of thing.
There was certainly no problem with Caharan, and the main Lawrence didn't want to go too far, and didn't want to set the witches on fire, which would end up bad.
It is said that thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, if Keharan's mountain fire that has been suppressed for more than ten years is brought out, then he will not be responsible for extinguishing the fire every day?
Lawrence feels that the cooling-off period of witches protects normal men and wizards, and he should follow the laws of nature and not wantonly destroy the balance of nature.
"The 200-square-meter potato field has already been planted with high-yielding potatoes, and the first potatoes can almost be harvested in the summer."
Lawrence got down to business, and Lawrence was always serious when he was away from home.
"I thought about it a while ago, I thought about the animals in this mountain, and I also thought of the magma flowing underground, since there are a lot of animals in this forest, is there also a mountain spring and hot water that will not freeze in winter?"
"Today we're going to take a closer look at what else is in this forest besides trees and stones."
Sophia looked around and followed Lawrence out of the potato field area, exploring the unknown area along the bushes beneath the mountain wall, towards a position close to the mountain wall.
Saliel looked at Sophia, "Sophia, do you feel anything?" ”
Sophia shook her head.
Delen looked at the nearby bushes and forests, "There are traces of prey activity here, this way." ”
Delenn pulled out a metal machete from his back and slashed at the branches and vines that stood in the way in front of him.
There are too many plants in the way, and this plant in the deep mountain forest always forms quickly when spring comes.
In the summer, it gets even more in the way, and some plants even have an itchy and painful powder falling from them.
After searching for more than ten minutes, nothing special was found.
Delenn grabbed a snake and slashed it to death and hung it on a tree to take with him when he returned.
Sophia's abilities have never been determined, and it feels like a treasure hunt, but it doesn't feel like it.
Lawrence saw that no one had found anything, so he summoned the raven.
"Eat~Eat~!"
Lawrence called out in a special language, hoping that the crow would come quickly.
"Eat~Rice~~!"
After a pause of a few seconds, Lawrence shouted again in the forest.
The sound vibrated through the woods, startling some of the birds, but the crows didn't seem to be in the noisy forest.
Delen and Keharan looked around, and soon Delenn said, "Here we are! ”
Lawrence's heart was overjoyed, and his heart was stirred!
Am I really a wizard?!
"Goo-goo!"
"Goo~"
I saw an orange hen flapping her wings and quickly parting, followed by big fat chickens and small flying chickens of various white colors!
Forty or fifty flying chickens flew over from the forest and landed overwhelmingly towards a few people.
Sophia quickly grabbed her head with her hand, and Saliel also held her hand in front of her face.
The chickens were blowing like a storm, and most of them flew higher than humans.
Chicken Storm!!
Soon the flock of chickens landed very unskillfully in front of and behind the flock, and some wanted to land on Kehalan's head, and were thrown directly to the ground by Keharan.
Lawrence also protected his face from being touched by the chicken paws.
A flock of flying chickens quickly cooing around in search of food.
Lawrence, who originally wanted to call the crows, calmly said at this time: "Let them look here, let's go elsewhere first." ”
Several people thought it was Lawrence's witchcraft ability, so they followed Lawrence elsewhere.
The free-range chickens soon dispersed again because there was no one to feed them.
There is indeed more food on the ground than there is in the chicken pen, which has been searched for days, and this is an undeveloped land, with all kinds of bugs and grass seeds hiding under the leaves.
Lawrence soon discovers a source of water outside the stone wall in the distance.
It is an area where stones are piled up, and spring water flows out from under a large rock.
Lawrence looked up and saw that the rock wall above was dry and steep, and there was no water source passing through.
"It's probably mountain spring water coming out of the ground, and it's usually cleaner than the water in the stream."
Delenn asked, "Do you want to destroy this stone?" ”
Lawrence stopped: "No, we have a more stable well, we don't need it for the time being, there will be a use here in the future." ”
After spending a day exploring the area thoroughly, it was determined that the approximate area of this forest was about 200 acres.
At present, the development progress is only two or three acres, but Lawrence has more important things to do, and there is no time to develop this place for the time being.
After handing over the potato fields to the serfs to cultivate and take care of, and having them continue to cut wood in the lumberyard, Lawrence went to his mother-in-law's house and brought some food and clothing to the people in the valley.
Immediately after the end, Lawrence went down the mountain with a handful of elites.
"Lawrence, you're here." Friesen has already brought the guys.
Lawrence nodded, "Let's go!" Go to the ambush on the road and kill that idiot in Avari!! ”
