Early in the morning, Lawrence is awakened by Sariel.

With some effort to push the woman away from him, Lawrence sat up from the darkness and reached out to touch the table next to him.

Soon I found a cylindrical wooden cylinder.

Lawrence gently opened it to reveal a faint spark.

There was a special ignition fuel under the bed, and Lawrence quickly lit the brazier and walked to the lampstand in the room to light a second brazier.

With that done, Lawrence walked out into the hall with the brazier, where the flames had been extinguished, leaving only a number of burning sparks.

There are air outlets and air inlets in caves.

Lawrence's room has a fist-sized hole that allows for a glimpse of the light from the hall, and the hall also has a small sloping hole that brings in the sun's rays at seven o'clock every day.

Every day at seven o'clock when the sun rises, the light slanted into the hole, and Lawrence and the others had a hole in the room that corresponded to the angle of the light.

However, no matter how ingenious the design is, it is useless to encounter cloudy days.

The lighting beads will be available as soon as next year, and now the only lighting beads are used for the lighthouse, and the only lighting tool in the cave is flames.

Lawrence thinks about how to solve the lighting problem and the timing problem, otherwise he always doesn't know when and where, and it feels very bad.

Not long after, Emma came out with a brazier and saw Lawrence sitting quietly in the living room.

"Master, you are awake, it should be morning now, just now I heard the rooster crowing in the kitchen."

Lawrence didn't hear the rooster crow, maybe Sariel did.

"Well, let's go cook, Saril and I are going out today, it's just a few of you at home, you can rest a little more at noon, we may not be back until evening, or we may not be back until noon tomorrow."

"Yes." Emma agreed, and then asked, "Are you going to Ferry Harbor?" ”

Lawrence said, "Go and check on the village of Uger, you can get busy." ”

"Yes, master." Emma soon went over to cook.

The rest of the maids got up one after another and began to work, first lighting the braziers in the cave.

The lighting problem is very serious, and the cave is only suitable for shelter and storage, not for long-term habitation.

Maybe the dark elves are suitable for this environment, but Lawrence is a normal human.

The witches quickly got up one after another, and after a hearty breakfast, Lawrence prepared tents, clothes and food for the night's stay, and then set out on a sheep ride.

Along with Reglo and another Ug woman, as well as two Claudian warriors.

One sheep per person, and five sheep are free to carry luggage.

They set out at about eight o'clock in the morning, and arrived at the bottom of the great oak tree at about eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as she got closer, Sophia looked up at the big oak tree and then at the ground nearby.

"Master, I feel like there's a lot of weapons and gold buried here."

"Did the Agama people have a custom of burying treasures under oak trees? ”

Lawrence said, "I don't know the rules in the mountains of Agama, but the kingdom of Lorfen has this habit. ”

Reglo on the side also had a say, "The Ice Sea People like to bury their treasures in the ground, and kill one or more people to bury them as guards. ”

Count Vakiri was one of those people, he had no descendants or heirs, and he didn't want to give his treasures to anyone else.

A nobleman like him likes to dig a few more pits at night and prepare more things to bring in after he dies.

Lawrence said: "The people of the ice sea are buried in the water, and their treasures are buried in the earth, can they really be together after death?" ”

Reglo thought seriously for a few seconds, and quickly said: "It must be an act of deception, the legends of the Ice Sea are all fake, but fortunately we believe in the Great Lord of the Stars!" ”

Lawrence quickly skipped the topic, looked at the huge oak tree in front of him and said, "Mother, is this big oak tree rare?" ”

Loshanda had been looking at the giant oak tree all the time, "It's definitely more than a thousand years, I need to take a closer look at it." ”

Lawrence said to the rest of the people, "Leave a few people here to protect, and the rest of them will go out and come back in ten minutes to gather." ”

"Yes!"

As the group began to explore, Caharan turned to Lawrence and asked, "Where is the crow wizard buried before?" ”

"This way." Lawrence buried the witch he had killed earlier at the bottom of the hillside.

At that time, I thought that wizards were some strange existences, so in order to prevent polluting the land after death, I buried them farther away.

Then there was the fear that others would find the corpse and come to seek revenge, so they put it in the inaccessible village of Wuge.

Keharan walked over to the mound where the witch's body was buried, where there were no weeds, only black vines that looked like earthworms expanding in all directions.

Lawrence felt dangerous, "What are these?" ”

"It's a ghoul vine, and when a wizard who often eats people dies, it grows on his body. ”

Lawrence looked at the earthworm-like plants and soon noticed that they seemed to be alive, wriggling into the soil on their own, rather than simply expanding outward.

"What's the use of this ghoul vine?"

"It's useless." Keharan said directly: "Only hot water can scald them, and even if ordinary weapons are cut off, these things will regenerate quickly." ”

Lawrence asked, "What happens if it burns?"

"It's hard to burn to death, and if you burn it for a long time, black blood will come out of these things, and when burned, it will produce poisonous smoke," Keharan said. ”

"Can you sell it?" Lawrence looked at these strange things, "Pick them and keep them, can you sell them?" ”

Keharan smiled, "No, and it will provoke vendettas." Wizards don't like this kind of thing, and they hate it when someone desecrates the souls of the dead like this. ”

Lawrence is a good listener.

"It just so happens that we have brought fuel and pots, boil a pot of hot water and send these disgusting things on the road."

Lawrence asked, "Does a normal wizard have this thing in his body after he dies?" ”

"No, only people with multiple wizards' flesh and blood in their bodies will come out of this kind of thing, and normal wizards will unleash long-term witchcraft after death according to their abilities. ”

"My mother, for example, was flooded in the land around her after she died, because she was a witch of water."

"If I die and lie in the ground, the trees around me will grow and decay quickly, like Mount Talim."

"Delen's words should be that the land has turned into soft and hard quicksand."

"In the case of Loshanda, the land is easy to burn."

Lawrence nodded, and suddenly curious, "You still have a child, right?" ”

Khalan's past is not only the years of Mount Talim, but also the life experiences that preceded it.

Lawrence wasn't her first man, and Khallan had a daughter who was older than Lawrence.

"Yes, I gave her to another witch to raise, and now that she's alive, I can feel her presence." ”

"But I don't know what she's capable of, she was a kid when I left, and she didn't show any talent."

Lawrence is very fond of Kehalan, who has been very helpful since he joined and is obedient and reliable.

"How about we send someone to bring your daughter over to live there?"

Kehalan looked at Lawrence suspiciously, "Do what?" Kill her? ”

Lawrence quickly said, "No, no, no, I don't have that kind of idea, I just think we can take in more people here, such as your relatives." ”

Keharan shook his head, "Let's talk about it in a few years, if we contact her now, we will have to negotiate with that group of wizards, it will be very troublesome." ”

Lawrence felt that Kharlan was more reliable, "Then I'll talk about it in a few years, and when I run the territory stronger, I can do a lot of things more freely!" ”

Khallan pondered the situation and realized that five witches were indeed too few.
