"Brielier, Friesen is still in charge of guarding the village for a while, and he can't leave here to go to Durela."

Lawrence regretfully said, "If anyone can return to Durella on their own, I can provide a longship for the pirates." ”

Brielier didn't mean to go back, she was arranging for someone else to go back.

"Then I'll ask them."

Lawrence nodded, "Okay, you can also come to me directly, haven't those people learned our language yet?" ”

Brielier explained: "It's okay to work and eat, and you should be able to talk normally. ”

Lawrence: "Alright, I'll wait for them here." ”

Brielier left here to call someone.

Several witches are resting in the bathroom, and here there are only Emma and Bull.

I didn't have anything to do in the winter, but now that I have a place to heat cold water, the bathroom has become a must-visit place to enjoy in winter.

Witches generally live long and prefer to be clean, and according to the two pure-blood witches, most of the places where mortals encounter witches are near lakes.

Saliel's father, Andrew, was caught by a witch in the sea, and was seduced by the witch in the sea to give birth to a thin-blooded Sariel.

If Sariel's mother is a pure-blood witch, then Sariel is half-blood.

If Sariel's mother is also half-blooded, then Sariel is a thin-blooded half-blood who may not be able to perform witchcraft for the rest of her life.

Lawrence does not like to over-consume the power of witches, and in Lawrence's view, energy is conserved.

Especially after realizing the longevity of the barbarians, it is even more firmly believed that the more tired you are in your youth, the more you are injured, and the faster you die in old age.

The requirement for oneself is to maintain one's health and avoid unnecessary battles and injuries.

The same is true for the family, such as the casual use of witchcraft like Loshanda, but whether it is Kehallan or Delenn, Lawrence asks them to use less witchcraft if they can.

If witchcraft can improve mental and physical fitness through constant exercise, it must be practiced more.

But if witchcraft is just a kind of consumption, then it can be saved, natural accumulation, natural consumption.

It's like bloodletting, it's okay once in a while, it's troublesome to do it often.

The witch was only one of the forces in Lawrence's hands, and Lawrence now had more than five hundred people, and the number of men alone exceeded one hundred and fifty, including mountain and forest people.

In the future, the number of people will increase, and the power of witches will become less and less important, and gradually turn into the family behind the scenes.

While Lawrence was thinking about things, Brielier came over with five Durella men.

Five men stood at the door waiting, and when Brielel came in, she said respectfully, "Master, I brought them here." ”

"Come in." Lawrence smiled, "It's warmer in the room, pour each of them a cup of hot water to warm up." ”

"Yes, master."

Brielil calls the five Durellars in, and Emma goes to pour water from the glass of water she entertains the guests.

The five men were of varying heights and ages, ranging in their forties to their teens, and looked like five homeless people who had been put together on an impromptu basis.

Lawrence asked, "Don't be nervous, I'd love to have a trade relationship with the ruler of Durella, and if you can return to Durella, you can show the people of Durella that I'm willing to establish a non-aggression business relationship with them." ”

Tenny took off his hat and said nervously, "Master Prophet, I will drive a fishing boat, or I can use the Ice Sea Longship here to go back to Durella." ”

Lawrence was curious: "Do you know the road?" ”

"Yes," Tynie explained, "the pirates weren't overmanned when we came, so they put some of us in charge of rowing, and we always walked along the seashore for fear of getting too far out of the sea and losing our bearings. ”

Lawrence smiled, "That's easy, I'll give you a boat and half a month's food, and I'll give you playing cards and Ole Runzhi powder, beeswax and silver coins." ”

"You go back with these things, if you don't want to come back, buy land and freedom in your hometown, and if you want to come back, you are always welcome to come back."

Tyny knelt on the ground excitedly, "Thank you! Lord Prophet! ”

Kneeling is a common ritual and a way of expressing inability to resist, usually by both men and women.

Lawrence motioned for Tyny to get up, "Sit down and say, I have a lot of curiosities about Durella, is there any special merchandise that we don't have here?" ”

"I know this!" Another man in his forties held his hat and said respectfully: "I am Henry the merchant of Durela, Durella is rich in tin ore, and we have a lot of jars and cutlery made of tin, as well as wine and flax. ”

Lawrence asked, "You can just say it, I'm interested." ”

Henry took a deep breath, calmed down and began to talk.

"We have fourteen kingdoms there, and merchants from other places come to Durella to buy tin ore, flax and beef."

"We have four kingdoms next to us, and the most prosperous kingdom is the kingdom of Gran in the south, which is the best place of all kingdoms, and we often go to Gran Harbor to buy wool and woollen fabrics, as well as coal for cooking."

"Everywhere there are good goods, such as cheese, pumpkin, iron ore, copper ore, glass, wood."

"We are constantly moving from port to port through the purchase and sale prices of different ports."

"Several of our kingdoms rely on the coastline and an eastern river for trade, and each country has a place near or near the sea, and a very wide strait for us to avoid the waves of the sea god."

Lawrence nodded approvingly, "I am willing to establish safe trade relations with the Western countries, and if they are willing to support me, I can restrain my tribe from causing trouble in the Western Kingdom, and I can also resist the arrogant actions of the Vakiri." ”

Henry quickly lowered his head, "Yes!" I will certainly relay your words to the King. ”

Lawrence doesn't just pay lip service, but will come up with practical means to support it.

"I've already explained to Emma, you have two days off, you don't have to work for these two days, eat a little more to replenish your nutrition and strength, and I'll give you some fur clothes to protect against the sea breeze."

"You can also help those who don't want to go back, and you can help as many as you can, and Navia and Brielier will write letters for them."

"After the boat and food inspection are fine, you will set off from Dumu Village, and if you encounter trouble on the way, return here first, and then go back when the weather is good, and I will continue to sponsor you to return home next time."

The five Durellans looked at Lawrence gratefully, never expecting to meet such a kind-hearted aristocratic lord.

After getting the men to leave, Lawrence also asked Navia to ghostwrite a letter to King Durella.

The people who are most afraid of the Vakiri should be the coastal countries of the Western Kingdom.

Lawrence needs support, and if a letter can be exchanged for the support of the Durellans, it will be much easier to deal with the Vakiri.

It doesn't matter if you don't support it right now.

Lawrence believed that the barbarians of the Kingdom of Vakiri and the Kingdom of Loffin would surely make the people of Durella and the Western Kingdom understand what barbarism was, what cruelty was, and what civilization was.
