Oak City, inside Lawrence's Oak Villa.

Lawrence sat on a deerskin sofa in the living room, which was improvised at the front of the central staircase.

This staircase allows you to go upstairs and then freely to the left and right sides of the second floor.

In other words, through this is a real home and into the daily life.

Today is the official return of Emma and the little ones, and Lawrence has prepared a reward for them several days in advance.

Not in the conference rooms and council chambers because Lawrence didn't want to be that serious.

"Master!"

Emma and the children fell to their knees and bowed to the great prophet sitting in front of them.

The sunlight outside the house shone in through the side windows, and the position in front of Emma and the others was obliquely illuminated, making Lawrence's figure even more majestic.

Lawrence looked at the adults and children in front of him, feeling helpless and emotional.

I really didn't want to do that at first...... Lawrence sighed in his heart, in fact, he just wanted that kind of easier life, and he didn't want to think about all kinds of territorial government affairs every day, nor did he want to think about all kinds of interpersonal relationships and subordinate interests all day long.

It would be nice if I could be like the first time, but if you think about it, you were either looked down upon or had a heavy responsibility in the early days.

"You've done a great job this time, and I've got a reward for you."

Lawrence smiled, "First of all, Emma, look at the reward I gave you." ”

Emma didn't go to war this time, and she didn't join the army, but after the war was over, she went to Flying Fish Harbor on Lawrence's orders to deal with the rebels.

There was no danger at all, and there was no delay in going back and forth for long, and he came back as a hero in more than 20 days.

The crowd had no problem with Lawrence's decision, and neither did Emma.

"Thank you very much, gracious host!"

The maid next to Lawrence moved a table to the side.

Saliel came with the bill, looked at it, and then at the furnishings on the table.

Twenty regiments of pure wool thread, each weighing about three taels.

Among them, there are ten regiments of white line, three regiments of black line, three regiments of red line, three regiments of blue line, and one regiment of pink line.

In addition to pure wool thread balls, there are also woven fabrics, two catties of wool white cloth and five catties of wool and linen mixed cloth.

Cloth is used to make clothes, and both adults and children need sturdy or beautiful clothes.

In addition to the thread cloth, there were a hundred copper coins on the table.

This is the reward for Emma.

Lawrence looked at the little girls again.

"You've all done well this time, and I'll reward you a little more."

As people who have actually been on the battlefield, the rewards for the five girls are obviously a little more generous than Emma's.

Sophie was given an iron sword with a scabbard.

Heidi was given a beautiful dress, two pounds of beef.

Clara was given a pair of sheepskin pants and a wooden box to hide her clothes.

Lolita was given two pounds of orange candy, two pounds of toffee, five pounds of cheese and thirty pounds of beef.

Tim gets a domme sheep, and Lawrence allows Tim to keep a baby domme sheep in the stables of the Ring Building.

The group soon received their rewards, with Tim and his mother Emma first bringing the wool and cloth into the maid's room, and then choosing the lamb in the company of his mother and his good buddies.

"I'm not going." Lolita seriously declined Tim's invitation, holding a large basket of good babies and reluctant to leave.

Everyone also knew Lolita's temper and didn't ask her for candy.

Lawrence and Saliel moved the couch back into the distance, straightened up, and said, "And a reward for the beekeeper." ”

Saliel glanced at the list on the couch with a curious look.

"One robe, one pound of toffee, three towels and bath towels, and two pounds of straw paper, will it be a little less?"

"Almost, our standard of living here is not ridiculously high, and it's still hard for a lot of people to be fed," Lawrence said. ”

Sariel was even more puzzled, "Really? Didn't we have a full stomach for a long time, and we all had beef, eggs and milk? ”

Lawrence smiled, "It's just that we, even the kings and nobles outside, don't have to worry about going hungry." ”

Looking at Sariel's puzzled expression, Lawrence deeply felt how easy it was to go from frugality to luxury, and in just seven or eight years, a country girl who knew a lot about the living standards in the neighborhood had become a noblewoman in the castle.

When you think about it, it's hard to find, Lawrence is proud of his strength and seems to be in a good mood.

"Sariel, let's go see Delenn, Delenn has been getting quieter and quieter lately, is this also the influence of earth ability?"

"I don't know." Sariel didn't know much about this, and she knew very little about witches.

The two soon go upstairs to play with Delen, and Sophia usually practices dancing and maintains what she thinks is a sexy figure.

***

Clara and the others returned to the house after seeing the lamb.

Lolita had already hidden the sugar, but she still put a handful of milk candy and fruit candy on the bed, and was happily eating beef jerky soaked in hot water.

Emma brought over a plate of bread.

"It's time to eat, the master just asked me to tell you, let you go to the kitchen to eat in the evening."

Hearing Emma's words, several children became excited.

"Thank you, merciful host!" Clara held a piece of soft bread, "Great, it's bread again!" ”

Emma asked, "Isn't there bread on the boat?" ”

Tim picked up a piece of bread and took a bite of it, with a happy expression.

"Mother, the bread on the ship is cold and hard, and you can tell that there are a lot of unpleasant things mixed in it."

Tim explains the difference between bread and bread.

Emma soon understood, after all, she was also a country woman who grew up eating that kind of bread.

It is only in the past few years that I really ate soft bread, and the bread used to be soaked in water, which is essentially different from the bread I eat now.

It is cold and hard, like dry and hard pasta, because of the impurities added inside, it is harder and harder to chew than cold white flour steamed buns.

In fact, this is the real dry food.

Whether it's the white-flour steamed buns or the bread eaten by Lawrence's family, they are all too ahead of their time.

Lawrence's bread is more like a snack, especially the fluffy bread that comes out of the oven, and it tastes great.

After going out, they knew the standard of living here, and because of the constant addition of foreign refugees like Sophie, Clara and Tim were not so curious about the outside world, and always thought that the outside was a poor place, and it was a rural place.

Clara looked at the empty bed as she ate her bread and asked, "Where have Mom and Grandma gone?" ”

Emma listened to the child's inquiries and calmly explained, "They were resting in the upstairs room, and Master Kehalan had arranged some things for them. ”

"It just so happens that they need some time to come back, so let Sophie sleep with you during this time, and you teach her to master our language as soon as possible."

Tim and Heidi both nodded in agreement, and Clara and Lolita continued to eat their bread, but accepted it.

Sophie is still a little rusty with these girls for the time being, and coupled with the language barrier, it is a little troublesome to communicate.

In Delen's room, Lawrence looked at Delen, who was sitting there playing chess with Kehalan.

Saril and Kassandra also sat together on either side and have now evolved from backgammon to Monopoly.

The route is determined by rolling the dice, and then in each slot, there will be events such as monsters blocking the way, visiting the Prophet's hut, entering the exchange, discovering magic items, learning magic, etc., which is more random and time-consuming.

And there is no fixed camp for the four people, and many rules can be added together as long as they are allowed by the rest of the people.

In addition to the four female chess players, there are many maids in the room.

The Dark Elf maid stood behind the mistress and watched, and Lawrence looked away when he saw that Deren was okay, and found Isabel standing by the window looking out.

Lawrence quickly walked over and deliberately stood behind Aisebel.

Sensing someone approaching, Isabel quickly turned around and leaned together as she faced Lawrence.

"Host......" Aisabel's voice ranged from nervous to surprised, to shy and delighted.

Lawrence put his hands on his waist, his body deliberately pressed against Isabelle's skirt, and said with a smile: "Finn and Yulia have been admitted to the ward these days, did you miss me when you slept alone?" ”

The room is not small, and both the hostess and the maid here have keen ears.

But Lawrence doesn't care, and he's not afraid that this kind of thing will be known by others!

A person who has a bathroom party every once in a while has no shame at all. (End of chapter)
