The days of calm boredom are going on, for some people who are used to the quality of life here, such as Sophia.

Sophia dozed off on the couch and glanced at Lawrence, who was making tools.

The dazed mood has not been relieved, the outside is the same cold darkness, and the room is low-key and dim light, making people feel that they have not slept enough.

Sophia obviously couldn't sleep, but she didn't want to get up and do anything, she was only willing to continue to lie down like this, until she had to get up.

Lawrence had no intention of getting Sophia up, and at this time Lawrence didn't notice Sophia at all and was busy doing his own thing.

On the table in front of Lawrence were metal blades and glass, as well as tools such as adhesives and iron pipe screws.

Lawrence is approving Heidi's hand-in assignment for the design and innovation of the steam engine.

Heidi came up with an idea that she had come up with after a dozen attempts, and she had been working on waterwheels and steam tanks ever since Lawrence showed her the way.

It's not the ideas that bother Heidi, it's the materials.

At present, blacksmiths are unable to make special tools, especially not to delay the production of agricultural tools and ironware next year, and devote a lot of time to stop the large iron furnace and replace the molds and materials to produce a part that can only be used by one person.

Unless that person has a very high status.

Lawrence is providing material blueprints for Heidi's steam engine, giving the blacksmiths an accurate instruction for how to make one, and Lawrence is trying to see if he can make one.

After an unknown amount of time, Sariel and Tim walked in from outside.

Saliel walked to Lawrence's side, intending to take a casual look, but soon discovered something.

"Lawrence, what happy things have happened to you?"

"Is there one?" Lawrence looked up in surprise and looked at Sarryl with a puzzled expression.

Salil nodded and said, "I just saw you laughing, you were thinking about what to eat later, right?" ”

Lawrence was amused by Saliel, "Well, I'm really hungry, I need to eat more." ”

Sariel's mood also improved, and she turned her head to Sophia, who was lying on the side, and shouted, "Sophia, let's go down to eat." ”

"I want to eat in my room." Sophia didn't bother to go downstairs, she didn't even want to freshen up.

Anyway, I won't go out in winter, and no outsiders will see it, so it's good to lie down like this until spring.

Sariel came over and said, "You can't be so lazy, let's play chess together after dinner, and go to the bath after playing chess, so that we can be refreshed." ”

"So what are you doing mentally...... Sophia turned over and lay down facing the sofa inside, looking like no one wanted to see her, "It's not comfortable to take a bath all day." ”

Sariel quickly looked at Lawrence, "Lawrence, is Sophia sick?" Why do you look so unmotivated? ”

Lawrence seemed to be in a good mood, stood up and said, "She's just not hungry, let's go down and eat first, and bring her food after eating." ”

"Oh." Sariel didn't think it should be like this, but after seeing Lawrence say that, she didn't care.

Lawrence went out with Sariel and Tim, and Sophia continued to lie on the couch.

After the group left, Sophia quickly got up and went back to the house to lie down.

At the dinner table, Lawrence gulped down.

Looking at Lawrence, who was eating heavily, the mood of the rest of the people also became better.

Even though there is plenty of light in the castle, the long-term darkness is still very problematic.

Sometimes, in order to save energy, the lights in the corridors of the castle resemble moss in a dark castle.

The eternal night has always been a natural disaster, a month-long natural disaster.

The creatures here can only be said to have adapted to the eternal night, and no one has yet been able to overcome the eternal night.

In this environment, a "light source" is crucial.

Lawrence exudes a cheerful energy that makes the women around him look at him with smiles.

Kehalan smiled, "You've been eating more and more these days, but you don't feel like there's much to do with physical exercise?" ”

In response to Kehalan's quip, Lawrence responded with a smile: "In addition to the effort spent on bed, I also need to accumulate some energy, and we have so many delicacies here, it would be too arrogant to not cherish these hard-won foods." ”

Sariel agreed: "Lawrence is right, we should cherish these foods, and we must eat them clean today and not have leftovers. ”

Loshanda felt that there was nothing wrong with this, and the witches naturally moved their chopsticks.

It is not difficult for everyone to eat a full meal once in a while.

Under Lawrence's role, everyone had a good meal.

After the meal, the maid in the kitchen came over to clean up.

Emma knew very well the usual food of the kitchen maid, so she leaned over to Lawrence and asked, "Master, do you want to prepare more meals in the future?" ”

Lawrence said: "It's okay with today's portions, and people don't usually eat that much. ”

"Yes, master." Emma nodded in agreement.

Lawrence also knew what was going on, and said softly, "The kitchen has its own food, which can be eaten with the maids." ”

Emma replied, "Yes, master." ”

Lawrence felt that Emma wasn't very happy about this kind of thing.

Lawrence thought about it and understood the problem.

[I just don't think it's good to let them eat leftovers, especially since none of them at this table are ordinary people, in case something goes wrong, it's definitely a big deal for their bodies. 】

[Their thoughts are also easy to understand, the leftovers here at the main table are not only a beautiful thing for them, but also a kind of identity. 】

[There is no shame in being a slave here, it is a good thing to be a slave, especially the pet plaything of the best ruler or the slave maid.] 】

To be able to eat the leftovers of the prophet and the saint is an honor for everyone in the Land of Stars.

Everyone has some thoughts of getting wet, some thoughts of wanting to get spiritual comfort through this simple way.

There is also the most intuitive explanation, that is, the food eaten by the master's family is the food that the maids usually cannot obtain by themselves.

It's like a chef who is the director of a factory, if he can't bring some wine and meat home for his wife and children to eat, then being a chef will lose three-quarters of his self-identity.

When Lawrence found out about the problem, he added: "Sariel, they don't let their mouths sit idle outside of eating, so they should eat less than today, and they can cook according to today's meal in the future." ”

Emma nodded in agreement, Lawrence's decision did not change, and the food continued to be the same as before.

However, as Lawrence said, Sariel and Delenn and others do not eat all the time, and for these women who are used to living comfortably, they don't need to worry about starvation, so they don't let their stomachs stretch too much most of the time.

Only when the stomach is free will there be a place to continue enjoying desserts and delicacies.

It was just an accident that there was no leftovers before, and the kitchen maids were able to continue to share the leftovers of their masters.

It's not just Emma and Tim, but the Dark Elf maids are also involved.

****

The more Lawrence knew, the more tired he felt.

"What am I doing?"

Lawrence sat on the tower at the top of the castle and watched the black moon in the sky.

Most of the moon is dark, except for the outer part of the moon, which is surrounded by a small circle of light.

Lawrence thinks about his life.

"Didn't I come to this place from the outside to live a comfortable life without anyone disturbing me?"

"Although there was some self-abandonment at that time, there were also some people who didn't want to do anything because they didn't have the right to speak, and just wanted to live one day at a time."

"Now I'm busy... There's a lot going on, too. ”

Lawrence frowned, he wanted to say that he was not as happy as he used to be, but this idea was not realistic at all.

"I'm happier now than I used to be!" Lawrence became excited, "I have a beautiful woman to discuss and carry, and a group of luxury maids who are ready to serve me twenty-four hours a day." ”

"The quantity and quality are all good that I couldn't have imagined before."

"In addition to being a woman, my life value and self-worth have also been satisfied, and I have become a prophet for all to bow down, and I have led these people from ignorance to civilization, and established a peaceful alliance that will benefit future generations for hundreds of years."

"And I'm stronger now than I was before, really strong."

Lawrence's clenched fists and the power in his arms and body were even more exciting than the previous ones.

Lawrence figured it out!

The purpose of remembering bittersweet memories should not be to make people accustomed to the hard days of the past, nor to put the bitter days in their mouths and hearts.

If anyone eats the past and lives the past and can still say that it is acceptable, I like it very much, then this kind of person must be the most unwilling to fight for the present!

The purpose of remembering bittersweet is to let people know that the past is not good, understand the good of the present, the attitude of these witches is 100 points, the more they are unwilling to remember the bittersweet memory, the more it means that they can't give up their current life.

No one wants to go back in time, and that's the perfect embodiment of life's progress!

Since everything is progressing and everything is getting better, one's own changes are also normal changes.

"I don't want to live that kind of hard life, the kind of people who haven't taken a bath for several years, and who can't even touch a woman's body for the rest of their lives, and who are enslaved and worked by those fat women who punch and kick."

"Fuck it!"

Lawrence recalls the past, and the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, and he wants to find out and kill all the garbage that bullied him in the first place.

But those people must be dead.

Thinking of this, Lawrence felt a little better.

The maids' thoughts and practices were normal, and Lawrence now had a huge amount of land and productivity, and it was not a hassle to feed the families with some leftovers.

This thing is actually a matter of cooking more, just keep it as it is now, there will be more personnel next year, and it doesn't matter if you add more when the time comes.

Lawrence found that he didn't need to care about such trivial matters at all, because he was now strong enough and rich enough.

It would be too rich to provide the maids with the same food as themselves, which was a bit crazy at the beginning of this feudal era.

Lawrence is sure that life is good right now, and most things are changing for the better.

"Onward! Don't look back, and don't hesitate!! ”

After figuring something out, Lawrence also walked out of the cold and windy night outside, into the dim but warm and clean attic of the castle.

"Is Candace there?"

Lawrence asked in the dark.

"Master, I'm Satis." Sartice stepped out of the darkness.

Lawrence smiled, "How many dark elves do we have now?" ”

Satis replied, "There were thirty-five of them, seven of the men, and the rest were young women. ”

Lawrence walked downstairs, and the dark elf beside him removed the candle from a nearby wall and walked to the front to illuminate Lawrence.

The current oak castle can't make the light of the lighting beads cover most of the area, and many areas are still lit by candles, and there are not too many of them.

"There is a bright light mine in the Io Kingdom, but the mining technology is in the Dawn Church and the Holy Light Church, and there is no mining technology from the mouths of those church leaders."

"But in a few years, we'll crack this technology." Lawrence believed that he could mine the Illuminating Stone from the Bright Light Mines of the Kingdom of Io, just like the rest of the Church.

This kind of technology has always been in the hands of the high-level people everywhere, and the technology is kept secret, and the craftsmen in charge of mining were directly wiped out when the churches of the Io Kingdom and the Durella Kingdom retreated.

But technology is such a thing, as long as it is not particularly complex technology and does not need to be neutralized by unknown materials, ordinary technology is easy to crack.

Others would not dare to crack the technology of the Holy See, but Lawrence was not afraid of this.

Lawrence casually talked about the future, and quickly continued the topic just now, "We still have a few dark elves here, and there are not many dark elves outside, what do you propose about this?" ”

Satis pondered for a few seconds, and then quickly said: "The few tribes I know of should have been wiped out by the Holy Light Church, excluding those dark elf communities in the city and family, the only remaining dark elf tribe that I can think of, which may still be there, is the Wanderer tribe." ”

Lawrence wondered, "Who is this tribe of wanderers?" A bunch of thieves? Or a bounty hunter? Bandit? ”

Satis explained helplessly: "Not really. ”

"They are a group of gray elves who do not want to live with mortals and do not want to integrate into human life, including elves like the elves of the green forest, elves and half-elves like me."

"These people were not the same faction as the Archigoslav family before, they belonged to the forest faction, but they were never accepted by the rest of the faction, and they have been wandering the edges of the forest."

"Maybe they've already arrived with us." Satis smiled: "The forest faction should also be wiped out by the church, and the wanderer tribe cannot surrender to the church, so it will definitely flee to the forest on our side when the time comes." ”

Lawrence nodded, "Then I'll show the people over there in Southtown and Steel, and try to get in touch with this group of wanderers who don't like to fit into mortal life." ”

Satith watched Lawrence make a decision and quickly moved on to something else.

"Master, are you going to climb the Agama Snow Mountain next year?"

"yes." Lawrence smiled, "Recently I've been eating more and stocking up on some fat so that it's easier to carry the hunger." ”

Lawrence's increased meal volume was a subjective will, in order to be more powerful, and also to make it easier to explore places in the wild where food was scarce.

Satith nodded, "I see. ”

Lawrence smiled, "I didn't say anything about it, but Sariel and Delen and Kehalan all know it, because I'm not the kind of man who just leaves it alone halfway!" ”

There is no need to go around preaching about climbing the mountain, and even if you don't say anything, the women in the family know what Lawrence is going to do. (End of chapter)
