Chapter 28: The Land of Industry

Lawrence soon returned to the town of Peumitheus.

"Is there anything going on here while I'm away?"

Lawrence sat in the conference room of the church and asked Emma and Bull, as well as Brielle and the others.

The braziers for heating and lighting were burning in the conference room, and a faint light was peeking in through the cracks in the windows, and it was two or three o'clock in the afternoon, which was a common cloudy day.

On the floor of the conference room, a carpet made of wool is laid and the women have the time and patience to weave various patterns on it.

Three white candles burned on the conference table, candles made of beeswax and a consumable item loved by both the church and the aristocracy.

Emma and the others changed into black and white nun clothes, and sat respectfully on the left and right sides of the long table looking at the man at the end.

Brielier begins by telling about her troubles.

"Those international students have handed over a lot of tunes and techniques, and no one on our side understands them for the time being, so we can only wait for you to come back."

Lawrence was much more relieved, and Blaire said that these things proved that the rest of the problems were not serious.

The cold winter is a cruel whipping to the ice sea area, but it is also a grinding without discrimination, and in the cold winter season, unless those invaders have a problem with their brains, they will never pick this time to come over and crusade.

"I'll look at this matter one by one, is there anything else besides this one?"

Emma and the others were wondering if there was something to report.

Lawrence has only been away for half a month, which is not a long time, and he can always hear news from the Western Kingdom, so everyone is not worried about this.

Emma couldn't find anything important to say, so she talked about ordinary things.

"In the time that the master was gone, there were ten more children in the manor, thirty-five more children here in the town, and I heard that there were many more children in the port of Dum."

"The men of the town started playing when they were drinking and playing cards in the tavern."

"One of the Frys' sheep froze to death."

Emma tried to find something to talk about, but every day was a common thing here, and nothing as legendary as Lawrence could be found.

Lawrence was good to know that there was nothing to do here.

"Has there been a caravan during this time?"

Emma quickly said, "No, it hasn't been long since the eternal night has passed, and the caravan will definitely have to wait for the snow to melt and the water on the ground to dry up." ”

Lawrence leaned back in his chair and looked at the roof of the conference room, "That's fine, Brielier sorted out the suggestions of those international students and gave me the suggestions of the international students, I will go to the mountains today to rest for the night, and I will solve things here in town tomorrow before I leave." ”

Brillielle said, "Shall I give it to you tomorrow?" ”

"Yes." Lawrence stood up and put on his cloak, "There is still a period of time before spring, take advantage of these few days to rest, otherwise spring will be very busy, and there are things to take care of everywhere." ”

"Yes, master."

The group returned to the manor, and as soon as they saw the manor house, Saliel couldn't wait to speed up and run out.

"Hurry up! Back to take a shower! ”

Sariel, who hadn't taken a shower outside for more than half a month, ran towards the house excitedly at this time.

Sophia also followed excitedly, during this time she had not washed her hair for a long time, and her beautiful long blond hair was forced to be tied into a ponytail, and many times she wore a hat, and her hair looked very boring.

Lawrence and Delenn Catherine followed, and several Dark Elf maids had already come out to greet them.

The manor has not changed at all compared to when I left.

The refrigerator outside the door, the lumber yard in the distance, and the familiar faces you see when you enter the house.

No change is the best change!

Lawrence quickly relaxed, and began to enjoy the comfortable days that he hadn't experienced in a long time.

bathroom

Lawrence lay on the waterbed and let the dark elves help him take a bath, while Catherine and other witches bathed in the bath not far away.

Loshanda also took a bath together to help warm up the water.

Lawrence lay comfortably on a wooden bed covered in cowhide, his eyes closed and relaxed.

The waterbed is not only waterproof, but also easy to clean, and the plaster that has been rubbed off the body can fall to the ground and be washed into the gutter with a single flush.

Saliel sank her nose down in the hot tub and enjoyed the comfort of being scalded in hot water.

Kehalan sat in the water against the pool with a big grin, holding the pool with one hand and holding a glass in the other, slowly tasting the freshly brewed wine.

Loshanda looked at Lawrence, who was already in the shower, and after being rinsed with two basins of hot water, the dark elves were sitting on top of him to help make soap.

Loshanda asked, "Why didn't you come from the north this time?" ”

Lawrence knew that Loshanda was talking about the glacier, and explained that the glacier was melting downstream and could not swim up from the ice.

Loshanda felt a little pity.

"In that case, only winter will be able to use this road?"

"If you can take this road in spring, summer, and autumn, it will be convenient to enter the West in the future, and you will not need to take such a dangerous sea route."

Lawrence knew that Loshanda cared about him and how important his safety was.

"Yes." Lawrence opened his eyes and saw Candace standing in front of him leaning over to help him apply soap, feeling better and better.

Lawrence closed his eyes again and smiled: "There are too many things this year, and when the upstream river freezes in winter, I will find a way to dig a river and divert the northern rivers into our river." ”

"In this way, the river in the north will be cut off, and the river downstream of us will rise, but this project is relatively large, and if it is not done well, it will flood all the downstream."

Several witches were struck down by Lawrence's astonishing idea.

Changing the course of the river?

Sophia felt that this was a little too amazing.

"Master, as long as the river is blocked, can people leave in the river?"

"Nope." Lawrence is well aware of the difficulty, "I'm just offering an idea, if there is no water, the ground will be like a normal mountain road, full of potholes, even in winter." ”

"We were able to pass the winter because the river froze and paved a relatively flat ice road, and if there was no water, there would be no ice."

"The water in the river must be flowing low, and when we are busy with farming in the spring, we will send someone to investigate the nearby mountains and rivers, count the approximate height, and then think about the specific method after we have a complete sample."

Losanda pondered Lawrence's suggestion and quickly agreed with Lawrence's decision.

"We can divert the river downstream to the outside of Mount Clauda, and the river will protect us from the magma when the flames erupt there."

Lawrence quickly opened his eyes with a look of surprise, "Will that volcano erupt?" ”

"No, there was no volcano there, and I had been training the flames in the village for a long time, and I was a little afraid that the flames I made would burn the land and lead the flames out of the mountains," Losanda explained. ”

Lawrence felt that the surface of the earth should not be burned through so easily, and the flames of Loshanda did not last long, at most for a few years due to the concentration of energy like the poison mountain in Keharan.

The flames last many times less than poison gas, otherwise there would be no need to waste so much fuel at home.

"Makes sense." In order to reassure these people, Lawrence said: "It just so happens that I also need a more turbulent flow of water to propel the furnace and the windmill, and use the power of the water to improve the efficiency of ironmaking. ”

The manor is not actually suitable for agriculture, but for industry.

Rushing rivers, flat ground, enclosed caves.

Especially that cave, as long as the lighting problem is solved, it can be made into the most luxurious blacksmith workshop!

Although his brain was tempted to continue thinking about all kinds of serious questions, his tired body and the seductive service of the dark elves soon made Lawrence indulge in enjoyment again.

Lawrence, who had been holding back for more than half a month, soon went to the lounge to see the maid bow her head.
