Chapter 49: Virtue
Kassandra was a little bored.
"Lawrence, who are we going to fight next year?"
Lawrence, who was working on the waterwheel, saw his sister walking into his office, took a look at it, and continued to look at the design of the waterwheel on the table.
Compared with this heroic and well-born royal sister beauty, the design of the waterwheel on the table seems to be more interesting.
"If I don't fight, the problems at home have made me feel that I need to deal with them seriously, and I will have to take care of more things if I continue to fight."
Lawrence confided casually and truthfully: "I don't have that much ambition, God has given us a place to multiply and prosper, not so that we can think about who to fight and kill all day long. ”
"Isn't it good to be alive?" Lawrence, on the contrary, felt that there was something wrong with the rest.
Kassandra walked up to Lawrence, and at Lawrence's desk was a drawing more than a meter long and half a meter wide, with ink and traces of modifications, which looked like it had just been drawn.
"So you'll be at home all the time next year?" Kassandra didn't dwell on the war and asked about the itinerary.
Lawrence said, "Well, even if there is a little fight, I will continue to be here, and that's what a prophet should do." ”
Kassandra smiled, "That's fine, I feel like it's only going to take a few days at the earliest, maybe next year at the latest, and my body will be almost ready for it." ”
Lawrence pondered for a second, then quickly continued to think about Heidi's two-valve waterwheel, "I'm here to help, ma'am." ”
Kassandra and Lawrence greeted each other and left satisfied, there is no need to worry about the matter of the child's fiefdom for the time being, now that Andersen is less than a year old, he already has two options, the Kingdom of Gran and the Kingdom of Waves, and will definitely occupy more territory in the future.
and even laid down the southern homeland, the former hometown of their sisters.
Shortly after Kassandra left, Sophia walked in with honey tea and bread.
"Master, supper is coming."
Sophia placed the plate on one side of the table and stood in the corner of the table looking at the picture with Lawrence.
Heidi designed a watermill that was more advanced than the one Lawrence had given her.
Lawrence taught the axles and gears to push the stone mill to the wheel, and Heidi designed it to use pressure and elasticity to convert the same force into a two-valve setup in different directions.
"Kassandra just asked me if I would go out to fight next year, and I replied no." Lawrence said of what had just happened, "We now have a good quality of life, things that are too complicated are not suitable for us, just like the goal we set at the beginning, just live here." ”
"I'm going to be there for you, whether it's Ema Tim or Heidi, they're all part of our family, and we can't waste our time all day fighting over them."
Sophia knew that she was upset about Heidi, and defended, "I know it's wrong, but even if it's a family, there's a difference between a master and a servant." ”
The concept of class is a deep-rooted influence, and for Sophia, her biggest mistake is to upset Lawrence, so she happily admits her mistake and does not dare to complain.
Lawrence smiled: "You're right, if Heidi were in your position, she would probably be arrogant, but with me, it's not necessary." ”
"Our house is big enough, the food is enough, and you're the first girl to follow me, so you can accept this kind of thing as calmly as Sariel, and you don't have to act like a little hen guarding her food."
Sophia smiled embarrassedly, "I see, master!" ”
"I'm able to be respected here, to be treated as a master by a lot of people, because a lot of people have accepted my favors, and because I'm strong enough to be at the heart of the ruling class," Lawrence said. ”
"In any era, there is a distinction between master and servant, and there is also a distinction between superior and superior, some people live worse than dogs, and some people are the owners of dogs, I admit that this kind of thing is normal, but what we preach here in the church is kindness and diligence."
"Sophia, you think I'm lying to you, right?"
Sophia blinked at Lawrence, "No, what the master said is right!" ”
"Clever answer." Lawrence smiled, "I knew you were very smart, but these little cleverness should not always be used for funny, but also for how to improve our technology and quality of life." ”
"In addition, I want to tell you in all seriousness that I am not lying, just like Hela, who has mastered divine arts, our teachings are not brainwashing to fool those who work for us, but the energy to make everyone happy."
Sophia looked at Lawrence incomprehensibly, unable to understand the relationship.
Lawrence encouraged: "Sophia, it's okay to say your doubts, we should be honest with each other." ”
Sophia nodded and said honestly: "Master, if you can become stronger by farming and working, then the wizard and knight will definitely not be able to beat the peasants, and the strongest will definitely be the most willing to work peasants." ”
Lawrence knows it's hard to understand, "I've only really understood these things recently. ”
It was indeed recently, and it was not until he intuitively felt the power of the barbarians, the learning ability of the witches, that Lawrence realized that his theory had always been correct, just not detailed enough.
"Work is not the same as hard work, and hard work is not the same as hard work."
"In a similar way, the Holy Light Stone on our heads can illuminate for more than ten hours, and it is as bright as day, the same coal can only last for one or two hours when burned, and the same volume of wood will be extinguished in ten minutes."
"The world is inherently inefficient, and ordinary people don't realize that."
"With the same sunlight, fertilizer, and soil, a normal person can only get a yield of less than 0.02 percent, and Keharan can achieve 5 percent."
"The recovery of our body, the healing of wounds, breathing, drinking, sleeping, the body of ordinary people is like a terrible old farm tool, the body of a wizard is exquisite from the moment of birth, and different bodies have different efficiency of use of different energy."
"Divine magic is an energy that we can't understand now, but it does exist in this world, more accurately rules."
"Just like Keharan can ripen crops, and Deren can control rock and soil, they are both a kind of rules, the difference is that magic is a rule of use, whether it is a waterwheel, a train or a windmill, you can use this kind of rule."
"It is the ordinary people you look down on who provide this power, but ordinary people cannot use the wealth and energy they produce, and the fruits of this labor are destined to be used only by a few."
The power of faith is produced by all living beings, but in the end, only gods and divine servants can be used.
"Listen, Sophia, you have to keep it in mind!" Lawrence seriously reminded Sophia, "I didn't give you the magic spell, no matter how much I want to give you the qualification of the magic spell, I can't give it, it is not a right, and it can't be inherited, only when you really meet the subconscious approval of most of us, you can become a god holder." ”
"Progress, mercy, industriousness, loyalty, humility, temperance, bravery!" (End of chapter)
