In the summer, the Oak, which had been cruising for more than half a year, returned to Ferry Harbor.

When the Oak and more than forty large ships behind it docked on the shore, a cheerful horn sounded here in the harbor.

Hundreds of women with children in their arms stood on the edge of the harbor and waited happily, and many sailors on the large ship not far away waved excitedly.

The whole port became extremely noisy, and someone specially raised a flag with a pattern of stars and the sun and moon, which is the sun, moon and star flag of the country of stars.

Lawrence didn't come to greet him, and such a small thing didn't need to be received by Lawrence himself.

A large number of small children and young people gathered here to look outside, their fathers or brothers, or husbands on the boat.

Every time there is a battle, people die, and although everyone is not afraid of death, many people also hope that their loved ones will come back alive.

"The Oak is back! The Great Ship of the Prophet! ”

The people on the edge of the pier shouted excitedly.

The first generation of ships was the three-masted galleon, the second generation Reese, the third generation Oak, and the fourth generation Revenge.

At present, the fourth-generation ship Revenge is now more than half completed, and most of the shipwrights have begun to make fishing boats and merchant ships, except for a few high-level craftsmen who continue to be busy with the final troubles.

There are also some people who are beginning to prepare for the development of fifth-generation warships.

The fifth-generation warship is Delen's exclusive warship [Cement], and its main purpose is deterrence, as a sea fortress and is used to deal with those underwater behemoths.

Exclusive warships were built to build one, and now the Oak is being copied everywhere.

Last winter, the Oak returned with more than 200 warriors and a large number of students, escorting a royal daughter like Isabella home, visiting ports in various countries and spreading advanced shipbuilding technology.

When he returned home, he also brought with him the specialties of various places, and hired a large number of idle homeless people to work in the country of stars.

Soon the planks of the Oak were lowered by the excited sailors, and the sailors on the quay side tied the dropped ropes to the bolts.

The warriors on board soon came down to reunite with their families and tell them about the events that had happened on the voyage.

The whole dock became more lively, and at this time, the ships in the rear were full of people standing on each boat.

These men, women, adults and children from all over the West, of different skin colors and different languages, all felt the lively and cheerful atmosphere ahead.

This is the legendary land of God, the place where the wings of the Raven Feather Prophet are blessed!

Oak City

Lawrence looked at the crows in the trees under the large oak tree in the atrium.

Heidi is asking the crow to find and eat the bugs in the oak tree to prevent the bugs from the tree from suddenly falling on the head of one of the hostesses.

Emma is taking the three little girls to pick up fallen leaves on the ground and withered flowers.

The large oak tree produces many acorns every year, which cannot be eaten directly and is usually planted elsewhere.

Lawrence has no shortage of food here, and is willing to have the descendants of the great oak tree spread throughout the territory.

Clara picked up a basket of leaves and ran to the side of the basket, then quickly ran back to get back to work.

Looks like he's working extra hard.

In fact, it is extremely serious.

At the age of six, she gradually became sentimental, and she was very concerned about whether she was popular and whether she was watched by her master.

When Lawrence is around, Clara works hard and works harder than usual.

Lawrence didn't care about the little girl's strange thoughts, and Lawrence had a lot of troublesome problems lately.

When spring arrives, there are many kinds of insects not only on the oak trees, but also in the home.

Some look like ants, some look like grasshoppers, and some are crawlers the size of fingernails.

When there are more bugs, spiders appear.

At the moment, fortunately, there are no rats in my big house, but there must be rats in the Ring Building!

Insect and rat protection is much more troublesome than defending against pirates, and these snakes, insects, rats and ants are difficult to keep at bay.

It's in the forest, and it's unreasonable not to encounter rats and bugs.

Lawrence quickly decided to start simple.

It is basically impossible to completely eliminate it.

But you can't do nothing, you just do what you can.

Lawrence was about to make some mousetraps when Brillier walked into the atrium through the passageway.

Nearby, on the grass lay a black unicorn basking in the sun.

Catherine has fair skin, and if she basks in the sun directly, she will tan the fair and tender skin that Lawrence likes, so she directly uses her unicorn form to bask in the sun on the atrium grass.

This has the advantage of being very comfortable, and at the same time, if Lawrence has something to go out, he can take Lawrence out directly.

Brielier didn't know what was going on with Lawrence, she saw a picture of beauty.

The beautiful and lovely Lolita and Clara, who look like little princesses, walked out with baskets, and with the quiet and quaint oak trees and the holy and majestic black unicorns, the atrium has an Eden-like pure beauty.

"Master, the Oak is back, and this time except for the six sailors who died on the way, the rest of them have returned smoothly under the protection of the god of stars."

Lawrence looked thoughtful, "What is the cause of death?" ”

Brielier lowered her head and calmly stated: "Some died playing cards and fighting, some died drinking, and some fell into the sea in the middle of the night. ”

Dead people are a normal thing, and Lawrence can't ask these barbarians to obey orders completely, they really can't.

"Let's count it as a work-related injury." Lawrence sighed, as long as they fought for a little air, Lawrence was willing to give them the treatment of dying in battle.

Brielier said respectfully, "Yes, merciful master. ”

Lawrence was a little helpless at this title, "How was this harvest?" ”

Since there was no particular need for the past, Lawrence did not go to check, intending to let the rest of the people learn to deal with the corresponding things on their own.

There is also the fact that there will be a lot of outsiders hidden after a lot of people, and Lawrence does not want to attend such a lively occasion.

Brielier is here to report these things.

"Two thousand people have been hired, from twelve countries and thirty-five territories, basically all serfs, and there are also nearly a hundred knights and noble ladies, who want to work for you and train with you."

Lawrence turned around unconcernedly, "Let those nobles get acquainted with this place first, and then talk about the follow-up in a month, during which they can take on some tasks by themselves to earn some pocket money." ”

"Yes, master." Brielil said again: "This time there are also the royal exiles of the Wave Kingdom, their country was occupied by the Kingdom of Gran, and the Kingdom of Gran slaughtered them, all the time exterminating all the nobles of the Kingdom of the Waves. ”

"They have brought ten ships and two hundred men willing to join you, including two wizards and three witches."

Lawrence asked, "Isn't there anyone from the Kingdom of Gran?" ”

Brielier knew what Lawrence was asking, "Here, this time it's Isabella's brother Richard." ”

"The emissary of the Kingdom of Gran wants us not to take in these evil pirates, but his attitude is not resolute, and he should respect your intentions."

Lawrence understood the reason, and among the people who went out this time were people from the Wave Kingdom, who were slaves who had been captured from the Wave Kingdom before, and when they went out, they acted as translators and guides.

"Arrange for those people to build ships for us, and I'll build a new shipyard in the Cold Ice Harbor, which happens to be short of people."

Lawrence quickly devised an arrangement to accommodate the old forces of the Wave Kingdom while preventing these old nobles from influencing the rest of the Wave Kingdom.

Accepting the nobles of the Wave Kingdom and letting these nobles serve them for themselves legally integrates the existence of the Wave Kingdom.

In the future, the slaves of those Wave Kingdom will no longer be captured, after all, the heirs of their kingdom are here, and there is no such thing as a homeland.

Human beings are emotional creatures, and sometimes they need a reason.

If the name is not right, it will always be a little unpleasant to tell your son and daughter that she was taken as a slave in the future.

"By the way, they must speak our language and respect our excellent culture, and we don't need the foreign Chinese of the Wave Kingdom here."

Lawrence also doesn't want his country to have too many languages, and he doesn't need others to spread the culture of the Wave Kingdom here.

Brielier quickly memorized Lawrence's plans and went to Phumesius and Ferry Harbor to make arrangements.

Lawrence was in a good mood, "There will be more people in the country of stars this year, maybe it can reach 50,000." ”

Population, of course!
