The army set out from the darkness, stepping on the hard ice and breaking the wind in the winter night.

In just over ten days, the envoy team seems to have moved from cold winter to warm spring.

There is no hard ice under your feet, and there is no wind and snow everywhere.

Everyone put the boats that had been towed into the water, and one by one the small boats of seven or eight meters sailed into this dangerous water full of life.

At first, it seemed to be entering the quiet and barren ice water, but gradually, after paddling down for a long time, I saw all kinds of swamp creatures.

The witch swamp is home to many dangerous animals.

Flying dragonflies, these fist-sized bloods-sucking insects make noisy noises when they fly, and have a special penchant for attacking sleeping creatures.

There are also swamp man-eating flowers that seem to be gorgeous, but in fact they will open their bloody mouths at any time.

There are all kinds of lizards everywhere, colorful lizards, flying lizards, bigfoot lizards that can quickly escape by stepping on water, and swamp lizards that hide half of their bodies in the water.

Long-legged Hale joins forces with the fleet and teams up with several wizards from the West to quickly resolve all kinds of troubles and dangers, and delves into the heart of the swamp in search of the legendary swamp witch.

Audrey who can use seduce, Nikru who can use stance protection, Darien who can summon wind, and Braman, a half-blood wizard who can use fireballs in the Kingdom of Gran.

These people are not the protagonists.

The Bhumixiu used javelins and stones to kill a four- or five-meter-long Blackwater crocodile, and relied on the barbarian team to scare off a five-meter-tall wyvern.

With the exception of bugs and beasts with bad brains, most of the rest of the swamp predators ran when they saw the gang.

Because of the trouble of retrieving javelins and stones, the barbarian team did not provoke nearby prey casually, and faithfully fulfilled the supreme instructions of the Ravenfeather Prophet.

The team quickly caught the attention of the swamp witches.

A mist rose from the swamp, and huge monsters appeared in the mist.

The barbarians shattered their fears with their roars, and relied on their compasses to break through the distractions of the fog.

Failure to accomplish the prophet's assignment is an unacceptable disgrace to these honor-seeking savages.

The little tricks of the swamp witch could not scare off these intruders.

This time the intruders were no longer one or two adventurers, nor merchants and Holy See spies, but hundreds of determined barbarian warriors.

The fog quickly lifted, and the barbarian legion approached the witch's thatched hut with torches, forcing out three old witches who reeked of corruption.

Their hair was the same gray water grass color as the surrounding rancid swamp, their noses were more than a finger long, their skin was as loose as tree bark, they had a pair of long, sharp ears, they were short and stunning, they had only one or two teeth left, and when they spoke, their lips were touching each other like dry rock, and they looked ugly and terrifying.

The three old witches still want to resist, stretching their hands like chicken claws to unleash their sorcery.

Some men were quickly controlled, lying on the ground on all fours and becoming captives of the witch, who rode them around the neck and stood up as mounts.

The three witches laughed wildly and looked at the barbarians in front of them, showing the horror of the witches to the fullest.

He was soon beaten half to death by several savages, tied up like an animal and thrown into a small boat.

Normally, it is easy to scare away the rest of the people, and even if the controlled person breaks free by himself, he will only run away in terror.

It's a pity that today I met a group of barbarians.

If you dare to curse me, I will kill your whole family, and I will kill you wherever you flee!"

Oak City

In the afternoon, the sun came out of the sky, and it was a rare good weather without wind.

People in the Land of the Stars love to bask in the sun in this weather, especially the women who sit and chat with their children in their arms.

The Lawrence family also moved from the house to the outside of the house, sitting on the grass near the oak tree while preparing dinner and basking in the sun and chatting.

Emma returns from the town of Phumethius and sees Lawrence and Sariel and the others in the atrium.

Lawrence was making the flute, and Sariel looked like she was cooking, busy at a wooden table.

Clara, Tim, Heidi, and Lolita also sit around the table to help out.

Sariel wore a white turban on her head, a sailor's hat that covered her hair, and several children next to her also wore white turban hats.

It all looks a little silly.

Lawrence was concentrating on the musical instruments on the side, and Sariel and the others were also concentrating on preparing dinner.

On the table is a sliced ice fish, a large fish that lives in cold waters, with a fragrant and chewy flesh that belongs to the top fish that the Wakiri people like to eat.

With her nimble fingers, the dark elf Candace controls the knife and cuts the flesh of the ice fish into pieces and uses the blade to flick it into the basin.

Sariel stood in front of the table, holding a knife in both hands and chopping the fish on a cutting board, chopping the fish into finer minced meat.

Four children are helping to roll out the dough and carry things.

Lolita looked at the minced meat on the table next to her, with soy sauce and vinegar added to it, and many other things she didn't know.

As soon as Lolita wanted to reach out and touch it, she touched it, and she must have thought so in her heart.

Fortunately, Clara, who was next to her, quickly kicked her ass and glared at Lolita.

Lolita quickly became honest and continued to help the three big sisters fold the dough together.

Emma saw that Tim was honestly learning to cook, and came over in a good mood.

"Master, this year's spring ploughing has been arranged, and according to your instructions, soybeans and sugar beets have been specially planted on the best land."

Lawrence looked at Emma and was in a good mood, "It's good, wash your hands and help Sariel cook." ”

"Yes, master." Emma quickly went down to wash her hands.

Soybeans are seeds obtained from the southern caravan the year before, and in addition to soybeans, there are also red beans, black beans, and green beans.

Sugar beet is a crop sent by Western merchants, and Lawrence has been looking for crop seeds, especially those suitable for this environment.

Consciously and actively, the merchants of the Western Kingdom brought a large number of crops, and Lawrence found sugar beets like nestled turnips from hundreds of crops.

The original beets were not sweet, they were still wild vegetables in the West.

At present, sugar beets have not been cultivated well, and the sugar content is not high, and it takes several more generations to find out the sugar beets for sugar.

Now planting sugar beet is mainly to learn the techniques and precautions required to grow this sugar beet, and to increase planting experience in advance.

Soybeans are similar to what I remember, and this year you can make processed products such as dried tofu, bean skin, soy milk, soybean oil, and tofu.

Soybeans are a substitute for meat, and the taste of dried tofu, soy skin, soy milk, soybean oil, etc., is definitely not as good as meat, eggs, and milk.

Lawrence had milk and beef to eat, and the emergence of soybeans was mainly for agriculture, not for high-end quality of life.

Therefore, the soybean seeds obtained the year before last have only begun to be planted on a large scale this year.

Lawrence's quality of life is very high now, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Dumplings, chaos, spring rolls, glutinous rice balls, glutinous rice cakes, egg yolk crisps, glutinous rice cakes, red bean cakes, ...... Lawrence wasn't in a hurry to take it out all at once.

It's like this once a year, and when you get tired of eating, you change it.

And Lawrence doesn't need to get his hands dirty at all.

Lawrence continued to make his own instrument, and Emma came out to help cook and make dumplings together.

No one here likes vegetarian dumplings, and of course meat dumplings are eaten.

Lawrence is not short of beef and mutton to eat, eating fish meat is to spread the dumplings, guide the people in the territory to eat fish dumplings, so that after the demand for marine resources is large, the development of fishery technology is faster.

Fish dumplings, lobster dumplings, these must be promoted, otherwise the lobsters that rush up on the beach every year will be too troublesome to deal with.

At dinner in the evening, Luo Shanda tasted a piece of dumplings and was very satisfied.

"Lawrence, I like to eat this dumpling, make more in the future."

Rather than rice and bread, Loshanda prefers this kind of food with soup and meat.

"Okay." Lawrence thought for a moment, "After eating twice a week, we still have a lot of delicious food to eat, and it's easy to get tired of eating it every day." ”

While Lawrence had eaten and drunk enough to enjoy the maids' singing and dancing performances, the three old witches were captured in the northern mountains and returned to the icy land.

They didn't see the so-called God-given land, only the cold wilderness, and were watched by a group of people and dogs to eat and go to the toilet, and then shivered in the cold wind to the upper places.

The three old witches soon reached Oak Hill and arrived in the town of Phumixiu on the day the snow melted.

Barbarians, a bunch of barbarians!

An untold number of barbarians!

The three old witches saw a lot of strong barbarians, and this is the land of barbarians!

Under the watchful eyes of the Stehlians and the Vakiri who had come to do business, the three old witches were again put in cages and taken to Oak City.
