Chapter 21 Upstream, Downstream

After solving the problem of the beast, Lawrence also obtained the downstream information from Grace's mouth.

At the end of the river is a huge lake inhabited by a large number of basilisks and lizards.

The ancestors of the Viper tribe came from downstream, landing as missionaries in the region before the Western Kingdom was broken.

Later, the retreat of the group was occupied by lizards and giant snakes, and some people fell ill and died, and the rest of the people lived here with the wild people of the forest tribe, and the descendants gradually did not want to go out and contact with the barbarians.

The people of the Black Goat Tribe and the Viper Tribe have a common ancestor, and the people who attacked the Black Goat Tribe before and were conquered by Luoshanda were the mountain barbarians of the Lofen Kingdom.

Now that the Western Kingdom has been shattered, the Eastern Kingdom in the mouth of the Western Kingdom before is the Southern Kingdom in the Barbarians' cognition.

Lawrence suddenly discovered that this era was the age of the barbarians.

If you miss this era, it will be difficult for the barbarians to get out in the future.

I'd love to take advantage of the winter to deal with those monsters, but time is running out of time.

The security of the territory is more important, and now both the people of Vakiri and Pig's Trotter City need to wait and see.

The newly subdued Vakiri need assistance and training, and must solve most of the problems with their ships and equipment before the eternal night, so that they can set off as quickly as possible after the eternal night.

A lot of things need to go back and solve them, and now there are no problems downstream, and more than a thousand people here are enough to solve most of the troubles.

Lawrence soon withdrew his troops and returned.

In addition to the soldiers who came, in order to prevent the Viper tribe from retaliating against the foresters, Lawrence took five warriors from the Viper tribe, including Grace and his men.

Without them, Turaka and Reglo would be able to suppress the remaining Viper tribesmen.

The group soon returned to the manor.

Lawrence looked at his cabin and turned to make arrangements for the group.

"Take a break, have a meal, and then go down, and let Grace and the people at the lumber yard rest together, and they will work in the lumber yard for the next few days."

The people in the lumberyard are all men who are reluctant to fight, most of them are Durella, and they can barely communicate with Grace and the others.

Although they are all Durella languages, the language of the people of Gris is also somewhat different from the traditional Durella language.

After a few words, Lawrence returned to the cabin with Saliel and the others, and Andrew took Grace and the others to the public kitchen to drink.

Emma and Candace opened the door to greet them, quickly closing it after Lawrence entered.

Lawrence got off the black unicorn, felt the warm heat of the room, and finally felt at home again.

Sariel carried two bear skins to the fireplace and looked at the group around Lawrence.

"Emma, we've made these two bear skins into coats and blankets these days, and I'm going to make a blanket for my father to wear and sleep on, it's definitely cold on board!"

Emma couldn't help with Lawrence either, and the dark elves all surrounded Lawrence to help undress.

Hearing Saliel's call, Emma quickly sorts the bearskins with Saliel.

Lawrence and Catherine, Sophia, and Saliel soon go to the bath, while Emma and Bull put the bearskin aside to study and figure out how to make it.

The dark elves are ready to go to the bathroom to help, these graceful and athletic dark elves are specially trained and selected maids, both in terms of service attitude and professional skills, are more competent than halfway maids like Emma.

They are more intelligent and better at caring for their owners like pets.

Kehalan and Delen and Losanda came down to chat, and Navia and Dora, and Cassie, the woman of the Tukara family, were cooking in the kitchen.

The three reserve maids lit the fire in the kitchen, by the fireplace, and one guarded the brazier in the bathroom lounge.

The cabin looked lively and orderly, and the temperature quickly rose.

Lawrence came out after soaking in the pool for a while, and came out to see Tim throwing charcoal into the brazier with thirty centimeters of tweezers.

Lawrence soon lay down on the bed in the break room, and noticed Tim's presence as the two dark elves sat next to him to help with the massage.

"Tim, the charcoal is enough, you go out and help Emma with her work."

"Yes, master." Tim quickly stood up and put the lid on the brazier, then placed the tweezers in the charcoal basin under the bed.

After seeing Tim go out, Lawrence closed his eyes and enjoyed the services of the two maids.

As Kehalan and Deren walked in, they saw Lawrence with two dark elves in his arms and two more at his feet.

Khallan smiled, "You're better at playing than the dark elves." ”

Lawrence opened his eyes and saw Khallan and smiled, "No, I just did what four people did at the same time. ”

Kehalan sat down on the bed next to him, accustomed to this kind of thing.

"How's it going?"

Lawrence saw that Keharan was interested, so he gave a general account of what happened to him this time.

"That lake is supposed to be the rumored witch swamp, and I heard that there are a few very old witches in it, and it is a very dangerous place. ”

Candace, who was standing aside, quickly said, "Master, that swamp is close to the south of the Green Forest Kingdom. ”

Both the Green Forest Kingdom and the Kocako Kingdom are below the Hokliku Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Hokuriku is the closest kingdom to the north, and most of the area is coastal, with an inward-facing fan-shaped area.

The Kocako Kingdom is a fan-shaped rectangular territory, while the Green Forest Kingdom is an irregular A-shaped territory that is not only attached to the large Agama Mountains.

It's like stretching out two fingers from your right hand and adding a horizontal one.

The ruler of the Green Forest Kingdom is a legendary elf, belonging to the forest elves, very strong but few members, most of the people are still half-elves and humans, with a population of only 50,000 people.

After the Kocako Kingdom was attacked, the rulers of the Green Forest Kingdom were willing to negotiate peace, mainly because they did not want to participate in the battle and did not want to be attacked by the barbarians on the other side of the mountain.

Lawrence quickly had a rough outline.

"It took us about a day to get to the Forest Tribe, and then to the Viper Tribe and the Witch Swamp, and it took about four days to go down the river."

"It took a day or two to get from us to the Hokuriku Kingdom, the last time we went to the Kocako Kingdom with a tailwind took a day and a night, and when we returned, it was four or five days to row against the wind."

"If we can open up the rivers in the south, we will have one more option to reach the Western Kingdom."

"The Witch Swamp also has land and water leading to the Southern Kingdoms. ”

"Not for now." Lawrence quickly said: "Next year, we will continue to fight the Wave Kingdom, and take prisoners from the Wave Kingdom to strengthen us, and we will now mainly open up the sea and land." ”

"Especially the port of Vakiri and the port of Flying Fish, which are very important to us!"

Inland ships are not the same as ocean vessels, and it is basically impossible for downstream ships to climb the mountains, so this line can only be one-way.

After defeating the Wave Kingdom, it can open free trade in the West, and it can also make the rest of the kingdoms no longer care about themselves.

Several nearby coastal kingdoms have become friends, and even if the distant kingdoms want to fight, they can't organize an expeditionary force, and surrendering tribute is the only way out.

At present, it is necessary to concentrate on subduing the forces of the Dolphin Kingdom, especially the gang of Pigtrotter City.

Only after successfully ruling the Barbarian Kingdom can they be qualified to fight against the Southern Kingdom.

Lawrence quickly thought of the Barbarian legend.

"That's right! Since in the legend of the barbarians of the mountains and forests, we fled from the south into the mountains, then there should indeed be a road to the south in the mountains. ”

"This road may be a river, but I'm not sure if it's a big river in the north, or downstream, or if there's another river in the mountains."

Losanda walked into the lounge, and after hearing Lawrence's words, he said, "It was a long, long time ago, and I think our ancestors must have come from the Green Forest Kingdom, and entered the mountains from the great river in the north in winter. ”

All legends have about the existence of the south, and if it is from the south, it is to go north.

Some of them went to the northern regions, some of them went around the great river into the mountains, and some of them were scattered around Kogiako and the Hokuriku Kingdom.

Lawrence soon stopped thinking about these useless legends, and it didn't make any sense to prove who his ancestors were.

It doesn't matter if you are a good person or a bad person, an extraordinary nobleman or an ordinary slave, you must be confident.

"No matter how powerful the kingdom is, it will decline, and the current Green Forest Kingdom is not our ancestor." Lawrence affirmed: "Now our fists are bigger, and they're going to get bigger!" ”
