Chapter 37: Preparing for War
In the early morning, Lawrence wakes up early to exercise, and the body is everything.
Sariel also worked out with them, simply kicking her legs, throwing her arms, and learning from Lawrence to do dozens of squats.
Hearing a baby's cry as he went downstairs, Lawrence walked to the second floor and stopped outside the maid's room by the window.
Finn was breastfeeding the little one, and the little one had stopped crying.
As soon as Lawrence walked in, Finn spotted Lawrence and quickly got up to kneel.
"You don't have to kneel, you can just sit on the bed."
Lawrence walked over to the bed and sat down, the beds in the maid's room were all large collective beds, the wooden bed was hollow, and there were various drawers in it to store things like clothes and bedding.
There was a little girl sleeping next to Finn, and Clara was sleeping with the quilt in her arms, sleeping deeply.
Lawrence asked, "Let her continue to sleep, and you can teach her the language here when you're fine." ”
"Yes, master." Finn didn't wake up Clara.
Lawrence looked at the little ones who were breastfeeding and found that the Finn family had very good genes, but it could also be the influence of the witch's blood, and he had never seen a Taiping witch so far.
"In the future, I will give you a loaf of bread and a glass of milk every morning to take care of the children, and when they are fed, they are almost ready to eat."
Finn gratefully, "Thank you, master, the bread here is so delicious, there are no stones in it, and there are no unpalatable clutter. ”
Lawrence was glad that Finn said this, after all, it was all his own credit.
"Finn, it seems that your family enjoys living with me and being a slave for me."
Finn nodded quickly, although it was only less than a day, but the Finn family was hooked here.
"Yes, master, we can only live to be eighty years old outside, and here we may live to be two hundred years old!"
Sariel wondered, "Can you live that long?" Can all witches live that long? ”
Finn nodded vigorously, "Powerful witches can live to be three hundred years old, but many witches live to be eighty years old and die. ”
"Why?" Sariel was curious about this, and sat next to Finn and asked curiously.
Finn breastfeeds the baby as he explains why, as the two of them watch.
"Because the things we eat are very hard, especially the bread that is very hard and the unclean leaves, bread, fish, bones and so on."
"Once our teeth are broken, we won't live long, and many witches out there will gradually live short after losing their teeth."
"Generally, after the age of 30, the teeth will loosen, so our family is very careful when eating and pays great attention to protecting the teeth."
"The host's dishes here are all clean, the bread is soft and sweet, and there are a lot of soft hot food to eat."
"Well, it's no wonder that Losanda likes to eat cooked food and pancakes, she likes soup, and she eats slowly." ”
Lawrence smiled: "Recently, my mother's complexion has been getting better and better, and she looks a lot younger. ”
Sariel smiled as well, "yes, if I had met Lawrence twenty years earlier, maybe Losanda would be as young as Finn's mother by now!" ”
Lawrence stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time to eat, Finn, you just wait here, I'll have your food brought to you later, you can take the two children with you after eating, I'll let Tim show you here." ”
"Yes, master!" Finn quickly thanked him.
Lawrence and Saliel went downstairs to eat together, and during the meal, they talked about the arrangements for the past few days.
"Khallan, along with Catherine and Candace, is helping Yulia set up a pharmacy, and I want to get fever reducers and healing potions as soon as possible."
"Mother and I are with Delen, and now we need a larger blast furnace vessel at the ironworks, so that we can get a pot of molten iron directly in the future."
"Tim takes Finn to get to know here, don't go too far."
"Eve and Gurney go and help Emma make the bed and clean up."
"Bull took the nearby serfs to the mountains to pick some fresh fruit."
"The rest of the people and Sariel are at home to take stock of the goods, and to put in order the gold, silver, jewelry, and various hides that have been brought yesterday."
After eating, everyone divided their work to do things.
Lawrence soon formed a sheep cart with a four-wheeled wagon and two domme sheep, and used the sheep cart to reach the town of Phumitheus with the two witches and Isabelle.
"Is Elder Greentree gone?"
When Lawrence arrives in town, he asks the guards.
The guard quickly replied, "No, it should be in the kitchen." ”
Lawrence quickly went to the communal kitchen, and sure enough, he saw Elder Greentree eating pancakes.
"Prophet." Elder Greentree greeted Lawrence politely.
Green, the male elf who was sitting across from the Green Tree Elder, stood up and took the initiative to get out of the way.
"Thank you." Lawrence sat down and said, "I need these medicinal herbs, I hope you will be ready to send them as soon as possible when you go back, I will buy them at the appropriate price, you can choose the grain, or you can choose the currency here." ”
Green Tree already has an understanding of the currency here when he eats, and he needs money to eat here.
The messengers were given only free bread and water every day, and if they wanted to eat pancakes or something, they had to pay for it themselves, unless it was for the Prophet's hospitality.
And the stay time is also limited, so you can't stay here for the rest of your life to eat and drink for nothing.
Elder Greentree took the paper and looked at it.
The text above is written by Aisabel, Lawrence does not know sprite text.
There are not only two kinds of herbs needed for medicines, but also some herbs that Keharan needs.
"Twenty pounds of each kind is worth more than three thousand baskets of wheat."
Lawrence said directly: "Give me five hundred pounds of each!" Honey and beeswax are optional, I need these herbs! ”
Elder Greentree noticed Lawrence's urgency, and Lawrence seemed to be in great need of these herbs.
Lawrence didn't mind any of this, and continued, "If you don't have enough people there, I can pick it up myself, so you don't have to deliver it." ”
"Five days from me to you should be enough."
Lawrence is indeed in a hurry, and if he is in a hurry, he has the strength to take it himself.
Elder Greentree was very calm.
"It will take some time for each of the five hundred catties, and I can only send some of them first when I go back."
"Good!" Lawrence agreed, "You continue to help me grow these herbs, and you don't need to give me any more wheat and anything else, and I will give you money, and if you want to buy wheat, go to Flying Fish Harbor to buy it." ”
"You can also take the money to buy things from me, clothes, fabrics, ironware, livestock, you can do it!"
Elder Green Tree felt that this was very cost-effective, the Green Forest Kingdom was very suitable for the growth of various medicinal materials and vegetation, if these medicinal materials could be exchanged for food and clothing, then more than a dozen tribes across the country would support the exchange.
After negotiating the matter, Lawrence took the initiative to send away the envoys of the two countries, telling them to hurry back to run errands.
Not long after the envoys of the two countries left, Countess Vakiri came.
"Prophet, I have heard that you have been wanting to come and pray since you returned."
O'Raua waited in the house in the ice sea for more than half a year, and finally couldn't help but come over at this time.
The food here, the environment here, and the men here all make O'Raua unforgettable for a long time, and even miss it more and more.
When Lawrence saw this woman coming, he could only ask Brielle to take her to eat, bathe, and change her clothes, while he hurried to make the boiler, and only after he was done did he have time to bless Oraua and make her full of energy and radiance.
The red-haired woman was strong, extremely hidden, actually much stronger than Crete, and Lawrence even felt that her physical strength was better than that of Sariel.
The more he was beaten, the more excited he became, obviously with berserker blood.
This is not a joke, this woman is recognized as a female berserker.
After satisfying the countess, Lawrence assigned a task to the countess.
"You don't need to do anything to go to Steel's territory, just pass by here and there to meet a little, and then go to Tranda Hoof City and ask over there to buy some slaves and come back."
Olaua lay next to Lawrence, not quite understanding Lawrence's decision, "Just to buy slaves?" ”
Lawrence said calmly, "That's fine, I think if I don't continue to give food and money to Tranda Hoof City this winter, they should beat me." ”
O'Rauya's eyes shone with wisdom, "I see, the next step is to conquer the south and let the light of God shine on that land!" ”
Now that the West has stabilized, whether it is for the sake of unifying the barbarian forces or for better trade with the Southern Kingdoms, it is necessary to deal with the unstable city of Trandahoof.
In the fall, the healing potion can be configured, the population that has been fused for a few months can be converted into combat effectiveness, and the archers and cavalry can also be trained almost immediately, and there is no fear of barbarian attacks at all.
