The weather was getting colder and the time Lawrence was spending more and more time outside.

The rest of the people thought it was the end of the year that there were many things, so they didn't care.

In the castle's living room, Sariel, who had come down from upstairs, looked around, looking for traces of Lawrence.

"Dora, where's Lawrence?"

Dora the Aquamaid was supervising the new maids to mop the floor, and when she heard this, she quickly walked up to Sariel.

"Lord Sariel, the master has gone to the town of Phumixiu to transport cheese and bacon and fish for the New Year."

When Sariel heard this, she also wanted to go, if Lawrence knew that he was going to carry the New Year's food when he set off, then he would definitely have to follow.

But now that Lawrence has left, Sariel can only stay at home and do things.

"Okay, this year's food should be prepared as well, and we're going to start preparing some hot oil and making some edible fried meat pieces."

Sariel was in a very good mood and asked again, "The house has been renovated so much this year, is the place where the meat is fried still in the kitchen?" ”

"I'm sorry Lord Sariel, but I don't know about this."

Dora usually delivers letters, cleans the bathroom, or patrols the night, and doesn't know much about kitchen preparation.

Saliel smiled, "Then let Emma come over, I'll ask her." ”

"Emma went down the hill with her master." Dora replied respectfully, "Lord Deren and Master Catherine have also gone, and Master Kehalan and Master Loshanda are at school. ”

Sariel said casually, "Then wait for Lawrence to come back, or wait and discuss with Losanda later." ”

"Yes." Dora quickly went about her own business.

Losanda was the eldest mistress in the family, but not the oldest.

The oldest is the witch Aisabel.

Loshanda loved to eat, and like most witches, Lawrence has never met a witch who doesn't like to eat, and it can even be said that all the women he has met so far are very fond of food.

Witches are just capable of satisfying their hobbies, so they seem to be gluttonous.

When Sariel was bored, Bull walked in from outside.

Bull spends most of her time in Oak Castle, and she is a little different from Emma in that she is less of Lawrence's servant slave girl from the start, and more of a relative and friend of Lawrence.

This was before mastering the divine arts, and after Bull mastered the healing technique, it looked no different from before, but several hostesses of the family tacitly gave enough respect.

Bull could come in without being reported, a privilege that Hela, the other female pastor, did not have.

Sariel saw Bull coming over in a white priest's uniform and asked curiously, "Bull, what's the matter with you?" Lawrence went to town and would not be back until a while. ”

When Bull heard this, he smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, it's the elven messenger who came last year again, this time as a friend, and a beautiful elf with him." ”

"Oh, it's the elf from last year." Sariel had forgotten the name of the elf for not a big deal, "It's been a year, and we remember we were still at war this time last year." ”

Bull nodded, "Yes, the war has just ended, and there are still a lot of things that have not been dealt with. ”

Saliel tilted her head again and thought, "It feels like there are many wars, every year. ”

Bull recalled, "It wasn't every year, there were times of peace. ”

It's almost as if there is no year when it's really peaceful, and it's a rare thing to have a year when there are no deaths in a war.

Fight the Kurs, fight the Drums, fight the Foresters, fight the Westerners, fight the Siddles, fight the Wakiri, fight the Pig's Trotter people, fight the Kingdom of the Waves, the Kingdom of Gran, and the Kingdom of Io.

In several countries in the West, there are almost no countries that the country of stars has not fought.

Deco, Durella, Hasenli, Hokuriku, and Kogico, except for the Green Forest Kingdom, which was not beaten because it hid deeply, the rest were more or less subdued.

It seems that Lawrence united the nations with kindness and benevolence, but in fact there is barbarian violence everywhere!!

And countries have always been the greater the resistance, the more they die.

In the early years, the kingdom of Deco sent people to assassinate Lawrence, and Lawrence led people to sack a territory in the interior.

The kingdom of Durella has also been under the threat of barbarians for a long time, so when a powerful prophet of reason comes out of the barbarians, many of the prophets are very good at what they say.

There are also hardliners in the Green Forest Kingdom, but this faction has almost no right to speak, everyone knows how ruthless the country of stars is, and the cost of resisting the country of stars is too great.

With a population of less than 50,000, the Green Forest Kingdom didn't have the courage to touch this big rock at all.

Sariel asked, "What's that elf's name?" ”

"Orota." Bull smiled, "The Prophet affectionately calls her Alora, and she likes it, but we'd better call her Lady Ice." ”

Sariel nodded, "Come to think of it, her strength is ice?" It is indeed a beautiful head of silver-white hair. ”

"I don't know." Bull didn't understand much of this, "I arranged for her to live in the building with her men, do you want to see her?" ”

"I'll talk about it when Lawrence comes back." Sariel didn't really want to see outsiders.

I used to like Sophia so much because of loneliness, and I didn't have a friend for a long time, Sophia's appearance gave Saril a window for emotional catharsis.

Now that Sariel has Lawrence, Delenn, Sophia and others, and a lot of work and enjoyment, she has no interest in learning about witches outside.

Bull said, "Then I'll go and make arrangements, should the Prophet be back soon?" ”

"Who knows." Sariel looked at Bull helplessly.

Bull smiled and moved on to something else.

In the rooms of the Ring, Oloda wanders around the Ringe with a few elves.

The cloaks that covered their sides and long ears quickly aroused the curiosity of the rest, but they soon went on doing their own thing.

Some of the farmers have been relocated from the ring building, and now they are mainly shop operators and artisans.

It wasn't very lively, as most of the bustling children and teenagers had moved to the distant resettlement village, and the few elves could see mostly schoolgirls and grocery stores.

Magic shop, herb shop, tailor shop, general goods store, antique shop, bookstore, blacksmith shop, toilet, sanitary house, public bath, restaurant......

Oloda and her companions walked down a wide, bright hallway, lined with shops that used lighting stones, and some dimly lit empty rooms, but the lighting stones overhead the corridor made it impossible to tell the difference between day and night.

In Lawrence's deserted College shopping street, to Oloda and a few forest elves, it was very different.

The beautiful elven girl next to Oroda was shocked, "This place is as bright as an ancient civilization!" ”

In the concept of the elves, modern civilization is inferior to ancient civilization, so this is not a mockery, but a compliment.

Oloda was very pleased with the reaction of the people, especially the attitude of the elven maiden.

The elf girl is the daughter of the queen and the eldest daughter with the most inheritance rights.

"Tia, I told you a long time ago that this is not a barbaric land, but a god-given land."

Oloda reiterates this, "It's always getting better, no matter what it used to be, it's just as good now and it's going to get better. ”

"Our village is not as lively as here, you can't imagine what the people eat here, but when you meet the Great Prophet, you will know that our country is really just a small tribe in the forest."

"What is the decent life of the king's nobility, you will soon know."

Tia nodded quickly, even more curious about the legendary Ravenfeather Prophet.

The elves continued to wander around the circular building, and soon a smell of fried oil came from not far away, which was quickly caught by several elves with a keen sense of smell.

Tia wondered, "What does it smell like?" ”

It was a smell that Tia had never remembered in her short life of more than thirty years, but it was so familiar, as if it was a memory embedded in instinct for a long time, so familiar and urgent.

Oroda didn't know either, so she walked to the window and looked out, and saw the castle on the opposite side of the courtyard that was shining with warm light.

"It's the Prophet's kitchen cooking, let's go down and wait and see, the Prophet should be back."

Oroda quickly guessed something.

Tia obediently followed, and wiped the corners of her mouth again.

Tia, who lives in the forest, has never eaten fried food, at most simple foods such as roast chicken.

Fruits are the most commonly eaten food because they are easy to obtain rather than being nature-conscious.

There are relatively few animals in the forest, and many wizards are more edible than they actually are, and it is easy to eat and exterminate the animals in the area where they live, so they gradually develop the habit of restraining and eating less meat.

Fine food and spices represent more time and resources, and people who are chronically hungry are not interested in doing this.

Deep-fried dough and deep-fried meat pieces have different aromas, and when the hot oil and the chicken and beef stirred the dough are put into the pan, a lot of smoke is emitted.

Tia and Oloda arrived at the entrance, where the guards were also breathing in the aroma, and quickly stopped the two elves when they saw them approaching.

At this time, Lawrence returned from outside, and the aura of the black unicorn quickly caught the attention of Tia and Ororda.

Oloda took the initiative to say to Lawrence, "Dear Prophet, I have come to fulfill last year's promise to come with my friends. ”

For a moment, Lawrence looked stunned, and he couldn't remember what kind words he had said to Oloda.

That kind of thing, who will remember!

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Alora." Lawrence smiled, "It's also a pleasure to meet this beautiful girl next to you, it just so happens that I have brought back good materials from the town, let's go inside and have a drink." ”

"That's wonderful! It is my pleasure! Oloda expressed her joy unabashedly, not as cold as she had been at first.

Aurora introduced Lawrence, who was still riding on the unicorn, "This is Tia, she's my friend." ”

Tia took the initiative and said enthusiastically, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty the Great Prophet. ”

Lawrence was not only a prophet, but also a king, and it is normal to call him so.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, too, Miss Tia." Lawrence smelled the aroma and quickly understood, "Let's hurry up and go into the house, it just so happens that my house has prepared fresh food to entertain those of us who have come from afar." ”

Tia rejoiced, "Yes, Your Majesty the Prophet, you are not only kind, but also very funny. ”

Lawrence is not the kind of little boy who can't find North after a few words of praise from a pretty girl, but he is still very useful at this time.

"So what are you waiting for? Follow me. Lawrence's quickly rode out on the black unicorn.

Tia and Oloda quickly followed, but the rest of the elves were sent back to the house, not qualified to come along for a meal.

Even in elven villages, there is a clear hierarchy, and it is more stable and stubborn than the human world.

Lawrence and Delen Sophia and the others quickly returned to the house, Delenn often goes out to exercise with Lawrence these days, and after being subdued, communication is easy and self-aware.

Sophia held a large round cheese more than a meter wide in both hands and shouted happily: "Look, this is the biggest cheese of the year!" That's enough for me to eat for half a month! ”

Lawrence stood behind Sophia, and there were still a lot of goods at the door that hadn't had time to move in.

This time, some of the supplies were brought back from the town of Bhumixiu, including snacks for himself and meat for the kitchen, as well as some cooking materials.

The manor has a small site and high terrain, which is not suitable for the production of livelihood products.

Most of the food processing, such as potato wine and potato flour, as well as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, etc., is carried out in the town below the mountain, and now part of the function has been transferred to Nanzhen and Kur Village.

Oloda and Tia stood not far from Lawrence, and Tia looked at the huge disc that Sophia held in both hands.

This disc is more than a meter wide and a palm thick, and Tia thought it was some kind of wood before, and she ignored the smell of food on this thing because of the aroma of fried food.

"This is cheese? How is it that your cheese here is so big, or is it still gray? ”

Tia was a little skeptical about this cheese, how could the cheese be so big? And the color is not right?

Lawrence heard Tia's words and was curious, "What does your cheese look like there?" Our cheese here is made with milk, nectar and salt. ”

Tia stared at the large disc of cheese that Sophia was holding, her mouth couldn't stop secreting saliva, and she quickly said, "I've eaten it twice, it's not that big, and it's not the same color." ”

Seeing this, Lawrence said directly: "Then let's try our cheese here, Sophia, go get a knife." ”

"Good!" Sophia quickly put the giant cheese on the table and happily ran to the kitchen to get a knife.

Lawrence looked at the giant cheese on the table and sliced a small piece with the knife after Sophia came over with the knife, revealing the golden part inside.

In the golden wall, there are irregular round holes, from which a fragrant sweetness emanates.

Tia clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and swallowed her unrelenting saliva.

The people here are really rich......!! (End of chapter)
