Lawrence finds Loshanda, the wise man of the mountain, who is tending to a group of chicks.

The temperature and environment outside are no longer suitable for the growth of the chicks, and the more than 100 chicks in front of them are the last batch of artificially hatched chicks.

Loshanda's room was different from the rest of the people's room, and it contained a one-meter-diameter magma pool, on which was an iron pot with hot water on top.

The entire cave is about 60 square meters in size and 3 meters high.

In addition to a chicken farm the size of a bed, there is a lot of furniture inside the cave, such as a water tank and kettle, a toilet, a table, a cupboard, and some herbs that need to be processed.

The lava pool is in the center, the chickens are on the inside, and at the bottom of the cave is Losanda's bed, which is covered with bearskin mattresses and pillows made of chicken feather down, and more recently, blankets made of wool.

Lawrence walked over and said, "Mother, I have taken in a few more maids, and I can leave these chicken raising matters to them." ”

Loshanda was checking on the chicks' health and smiled when she heard it.

"No, it's too quiet for me to sleep, and listening to the chicks of these chicks, I sleep more peacefully."

Hearing that Loshanda raises chickens for this, not to improve the diet or contribute more eggs and chicken to the territory, Lawrence did not continue to say anything on this topic.

It's good to have your own interests.

"Mother, the merchants of the Old Whisperer family came to buy our oak here, there are many oak trees in my territory, especially one in the village of Ug that looks to be more than a thousand years old, I want to know what these oak trees are for."

Loshanda looked surprised, "It turns out that there are such ancient oak trees in this land, I'll go over tomorrow to take a look." ”

"Okay." Lawrence needed an expert to help him.

The expert in front of me is an expert in this field, with a very ancient heritage, and at the same time he is a trustworthy person.

"In the legends of our tribe, long ago, when food was scarce, all the shamans relied on oak trees to survive, and we built our tribe near the giant oak trees. ”

"It was a dark age, and after a difficult period, the wizards banished the behemoths and established tribes and kingdoms, but the brutal wizards could not control their desires."

"So many people went back to the forest to practice, and we thought that the oak tree had the power of calm and serenity, and that it was the cradle of wizards."

Lawrence asked, "How did the age of wizards end?" ”

"As it is now, there are constant assassinations, constant deaths, wizards can't control their mystical powers, wizards who are good at destruction are not good at defense, and many of them die together. ”

"Wizards relied on violence to sit on the throne and died in new violence."

"Our tribe and many other tribes have escaped these fates and returned to nature, believing in the gods of order and balance for generations."

Lawrence almost understood that wizards could not appear out of thin air, otherwise the gestation mechanism of wizards would not be reasonable.

It's more like a mutation that can't be sustained naturally, just like an infectious disease, and the first and second generations of people who survive are more or less problematic, and then there are fewer and fewer people.

At the same time, there is reproductive isolation between wizards and some people, and they are not strictly human.

This group of people was very large at first, but then there were fewer and fewer people due to constant fighting.

Rulers continue to die in assassinations, and civilizations that have just emerged from the wilderness begin to fall apart.

The sooner the emperor died, the more turbulent the situation became, and the more difficult it became for the newly appointed emperor to convince the public.

Lawrence had known that assassination was strong here, and that wizards were a dangerous people.

But this is the first time I know about Oak.

"People used to live near oak trees? Is it convenient to live like that? ”

Losanda replied, "The oak tree will provide us with all kinds of blessings, and if the oak tree is big enough, it can live on it." ”

"A lot of wizards worship oaks and will take over the land under them."

Lawrence said directly: "No matter what use there is, in short, it is our territory now, and I will arrange for someone to build our house there." ”

Losanda also wanted to live under the oak trees, but was reluctant to live comfortably here.

Now that Lawrence has the idea of building a home there, Los Sanda is completely relieved.

"Then I'll go over tomorrow and have a look."

Lawrence didn't have anything else to do, so he said, "I'm just free these days, and I'll go over tomorrow." ”

Loshanda said, "Okay. ”

It was a bit stuffy in the room, and Lawrence quickly left the place.

After going out, Lawrence sees Emma training the new maid.

In addition to Dora and Brielier's Cassie, Tim also stands next to the two new maids and listens to his mother's lesson.

Lawrence was amused, and came over and said, "We don't run out of wool, and we shouldn't have anything to do these days, now go to the seamstress and ask her to make you two sets of maid's clothes." ”

"Two sets for each person, one for normal wear, and one for washing when dirty."

"In front of you is a small apron pocket that can put things, and on the body is a skirt that is easy to put on and take off, and a headscarf or hat suitable for use in the house, so that your hair will not fall on the ground when you lie down to clean up your things."

Recently, there is no pressure in life, and all kinds of good things are constantly happening, coupled with the long cold winter and blizzard season is coming, it is natural to develop some relaxing entertainment activities at home.

Full of lust, Lawrence, who is now well-fed, has all kinds of good ideas.

Emma heard her master's order and asked cautiously, "Is Tim going to change it too?" I can mend my old clothes and give them to Tim. ”

Lawrence looked at Tim, who was very sensible, and said gently: "Tim is now my reserve maid, although he is still a little maid, but he is also my person." ”

"When you come to me to be a maid, you must first have a new dress to wear."

"It's not old clothes from my mother and sister, it's new clothes that I've been rewarded with by my master."

Seeing that Lawrence had decided this, Emma said to the three preparatory maids with a dignified education: "Hurry up and thank the master!" ”

Tim and the two adults quickly said together, "Thank you, master!" ”

Lawrence was in a very good mood, "Let's go and make clothes first, and when we come back, continue to familiarize ourselves with the rules here, and at night Emma you take them to take a bath, you can take a bath for a while." ”

"Yes, master." Emma agreed to come down.

Seeing this, the two new maids also said, "Yes, master." ”

Tim followed suit.

Lawrence quickly went out to check on the situation, and as Sariel said, it started to rain in the mountains.

The sky is overcast and gray, and the dreary weather can easily affect people's mood.

Fortunately, Lawrence explained all kinds of things in advance.

After the potato harvest, the more than 2,000 people in the territory do not need to worry about food.

Even the foresters have left endless potatoes to eat, and they have natural resources other than potatoes to use, and their families have chickens and sheep.

Lawrence checked around the outside and returned to the cave.

The cave guards went home to rest, and the three dogs were chained inside the cave, and after Lawrence entered the house, they lay on the ground and watched the rain outside.

A little over an hour later, Emma brought Tim over to feed the three dogs.

All three dogs knew Tim, but they were strangers to the other two maids.

Tim grew up with three puppies and poured bones and steamed rice into the dog bowl with his mom.

Soon Emma takes Tim inside, and together with Bull, the door panel is stuck in the cave.

There is a special gap in the stone wall of the cave, and you can stuff one end of the board into the crack of the door, and then the other end into the other end.

This card slot design can prevent animals from sneaking in, while also sealing the cave and maintaining the temperature inside the cave.

First push the door panels on both sides into the gap, and then put the vertical door panel in the middle to stand in, and the last gap will directly pull out the door panels in the card slots on both sides, so that the integration will be closed directly.

There is a deadbolt behind the plank, and when it is stuck with a wooden block in the shape of a mountain, the door is completely closed.

The three dogs are accustomed to this kind of life, and after eating, they huddle together and lie down to sleep, where they can shelter from the wind and rain, and they can eat well, which is more than ten times better than being wolves outside.

In the bathroom, after the man and the hostess went to bed, seven maids sat in the hot tub and bathed comfortably.

After carrying a bucket of hot water and pouring it in, the water temperature here was just right for them.

Emma instructed the two new maids, "You have to take a bath every day from now on, and you must keep a clean body and serve your master." ”

"Yes." Dora and Cassie are quickly adjusting to life here.
