A cold wind blew outside Oak City, and black unicorns galloping along the mountain roads flashed through the snow.

Lawrence felt a little cold, but it was still bearable.

The low temperature when I slept with Saril last night couldn't compare to the cold wind now.

Lawrence grabbed the reins, his gaze no longer focused on the nearby roads and landscapes, but instead lost his mind on the commonplace landscape.

"Actually, Sariel hasn't changed much, and even her strength has only increased slightly compared to before, from a teenager to a young woman."

"On the contrary, I have changed a lot, and now I am no longer the thin teenager who often can't eat enough."

Lawrence soon arrived in the town of Púmitheus and began to teach and impart knowledge to the teenagers there.

These teenagers are all growing up at an age, and there will be two different development routes between those who are full and those who are not full.

If you don't have enough to eat for a long time, you don't have the strength.

Only when you have enough to eat is you strong, even barbarians and wizards have to eat.

Most of the people in Bhumixiu can't eat meat every meal, at most once a week, but a man with a fortune can keep the kind of egg-laying hens at home, so that the family can eat an egg every two or three days.

If you go out to make meritorious contributions, or if someone in your family is a soldier or works in a mining area, the living conditions will be much better.

Fortunately, bread and fish are easy to obtain, and you can work in exchange for some extra rewards.

Everyone is free to pick up tasks such as collecting medicinal herbs, transporting goods, assisting with fisheries, dock shipments, and processing coal lumps.

The taverns on the docks, the mines on the hills, the workshops in the town, the lumberyards and churches all give assignments to the hard-working.

In front of the Colossus of the Prophet, Lawrence led a group of people for the last service of the year.

"May all men find their own way, progress, mercy, industriousness, loyalty, humility, temperance, bravery, and find their way in these virtues."

After Lawrence finished speaking, he looked at the thousands of people gathered in front of him and kneeling.

These people included men and women, old people and children, as well as nobles and merchants.

In the traditional feudal system, the people on the land were managed into cattle and sheep in their respective sheepfolds because of the feudal relationship.

Feudalism is not the same as centralization, and the feudal system is divided into feudals, that is, each is in charge of its own.

Lawrence didn't bother with the difference between Chinese and Western systems, but every time he stood here in front of the thousands of people below, he had a feeling that these people would find trouble for themselves when something happened.

There is no such problem in the sub-feudal system, and the sub-feudal system is against whoever oppresses, and many people do not realize who is the real source.

The unity of kingship and clerical power led to the present ...... Very tricky.

The power is great, and the sequelae are also great, and now a million people in the Land of Stars know that their prophet and king is Lawrence, and that the king lives in Oak City.

Neutrality...... Lawrence felt bad, "I want to be neutral more than those elves. ”

"Yes, Great Prophet!" Thousands of pious voices calmed Lawrence quickly.

Although I really want to live that quiet and lazy life, I also have to be neutral.

Lawrence looked at the crowd in front of him with a calm face, knowing that he had to pursue power, to be more powerful.

If you don't pursue it, it's as if there is an abyss maw behind you, and you have to move forward.

If he retreated, the kind of hard life that Sariel and the others were worried about would definitely not happen, and the people outside would definitely not give themselves a chance to start over.

So are your own people.

Before, there was always intermittent things about becoming stronger, and it seemed half-hearted, but in fact, the idea of becoming stronger was gradually becoming firmer.

The main reason is that there are things that must be pursued, and there are things that cannot be discarded.

Food, money, women, wealth, power, and finally eternal life.

Lawrence smiled, "This year our hard work has reaped the rewards, and our bravery has reaped great rewards. ”

"I conquered the kingdom of Gran, which is now my province of Gran, and a large amount of grain will be transported from there every year in the future."

"This year, anyone who has made military exploits will be rewarded with 100 catties of meat, a barrel of wine, and 100 copper coins for the Chinese New Year! This is my reward! ”

Hearing Lawrence's reward, the leaders of the first row below became excited.

"Thank you! Merciful Prophet! ”

"Great Prophet! Your mercy is as bright as the moon! ”

"Good!!"

"Prophet! Merciful Prophet! ”

"Praise be to the god of the stars! Praise the stars! Praise the sea! Praise the Prophet! ”

Most people couldn't actually hear what Lawrence was saying, only the people in front of them cheering.

They had no idea what was going on, but they soon rejoiced and praised Lawrence.

There were no microphones, no electronics, and no corresponding witchcraft, resulting in Lawrence's words being heard only by a small number of people.

Even if everyone is not far away, but things that cannot be understood and heard clearly happen from time to time, and if you want to fully understand it, unless it is a mental connection, this problem exists even in a technological society.

***

Inside the church, a group of high-ranking generals and nuns followed Lawrence into the cathedral.

Lawrence sat in his seat and watched the circle of people around him.

Soon his eyes were on Seravon.

"Seravan, you and I will plant the land for a year next year and learn how to manage the land."

Seravin quickly bowed his head and replied, "Yes, master!" ”

Lawrence calmly looked at the man who had followed him the longest.

"You don't have great military talent, and you are not fit to fight the enemy, but there is not only courage in our church, and I see your diligence and loyalty."

Seravin looked up gratefully, "Thank you, merciful master! ”

Lawrence was tired of this kind of formulaic talk, but he didn't bother to criticize and correct it.

It is not easy to get these people to learn to speak, at least now that they are willing to follow the rules and formats of speaking, it is much better than the whimsical or muffled speech of the past.

In fact, most people don't even want to say this kind of formula, and they are bored all day long, as if they have no wisdom.

Lawrence said: "Progress, mercy, industriousness, loyalty, humility, temperance, bravery, I will teach you some agricultural techniques, and you will lead the people of Steel's progress together, and maintain your loyalty, and I will not interfere or ask for anything else." ”

"There is nothing to do with Steel, you just need to continue to cultivate the land and grow crops, and if you are in trouble, you can ask me for help, and you will be the Viscount of Steele in the future."

Seravin looked at Lawrence in shock, "Master...... I think the baron will do......"

Lawrence said: "This viscount is not a hereditary title, but as a reward for my loyalty and for my industriousness in agriculture. ”

"But it's just my plan, if you are lazy next year when you farm with me, then I will cancel this reward."

Seravin quickly said, "I will definitely work hard to farm, just like you, master!" ”

Lawrence was satisfied, and gave Fryce the Southtown side of the town, rewarding him with the title of baron.

This time, those who contributed to the conquest of the kingdom of Gran and the fight against the Church of Dawn were rewarded, especially the title of nobility that they had cherished.

Lawrence even took the initiative to divide them all in their respective hometowns, such as Grace in the forest tribe, and the rest of the Vakiri in the port of Ener, to prevent these people from causing trouble to Beoff and the countess when they returned.

Several heroes of the Wave Kingdom have only been promoted to the rank of Territorial Knight, and higher merit is required to obtain the Baronial title.

The Gran Province has not yet figured out who will be in charge, and it is currently being managed by Alikmu, but it can't be delayed for too long, otherwise it will definitely be mixed with a group of birdmen from the Io Kingdom.

Moreover, the Bird family of the Alekmu family itself is a church and civil servant force, and it is indeed easy to stabilize the situation there at the beginning, but once it is time, it is easy to be bewitched.

Lawrence didn't want to worry about this kind of troublesome thing, but fortunately he had the rest of the kingdoms join in the first place, and spread the pressure on that side.

Now the main thing is to improve their own strength, and the traditional perception of barbarians is still the fantasy belief that they will die in battle, so their consciousness is mainly focused on those warriors.

Lawrence wants to get some energy and make his hard work useful, so a talent like Seravin who relies on farming is very important.

He represents not only himself, but also Lawrence's efforts.

If a hundred peasants believe that they can become nobles if they farm well, and believe that knowledge can change their destiny, then what kind of terrifying power of faith will be born?

Just like a barbarian who believes that he can go to heaven as long as he is brave enough to fight, in fact many barbarians cannot do this, and everyone will always be afraid, and they will always be weak and shaken.

And farming, which is a risk-free thing, is much simpler, as long as you have skills and methods, and are willing to endure hardships and work.

Even the great prophets had to carry a hoe to work in the fields every day, and if they wanted to get the attention of the god of the stars, they must have worked hard!

Once a frenzied wave is formed, Lawrence, who can farm, will become the best among them!!

Because I can't fight, and I don't have confidence, I can only go off the rails. (End of chapter)
