After determining that this place was not far from the Black Goat tribe, Lawrence also determined the location of the area, as well as the approximate route of his trip.

Lawrence was eager to return home at this time, and explained to the prophet here that he was leaving.

"Where is the Black Goat Tribe? I'm going back as soon as I can, and I'm going to leave now. ”

When Abala heard this, he quickly asked, "What is it that is in a hurry that makes a warrior like you so anxious?" ”

Lawrence just wanted to go home early, and after noticing Abalan's seriousness, he knew that these people were very face-conscious.

They mainly invited others to their own dinner, and gave them a decent position, and also brought out good wine and food to entertain them.

At this time, if you say a few words and leave, it will make these people feel very shameless.

Lawrence replied, "I have just completed a trial and need to go back to the Church of the Stars to pray, thank you very much for your hospitality, and I have sensed your enthusiasm, I will tell the people of Oak City about this." ”

Abala nodded and said, "I see, but it's still a few days away from Oak City, and you always have something to eat to fill your stomach." ”

Lawrence smiled, "Hahaha! ”

After smiling and attracting the attention of the others, Lawrence said confidently and arrogantly: "It takes four or five days for others to get from the Black Goat Tribe to Phumesius Town, but I only need less than half a day, and I have legs that are much faster than the Dom sheep." ”

Abara quickly told the rest of the group what Lawrence had said.

The owner of the house, Muzas, thought it was bad, but he was too embarrassed to persuade the man.

Lawrence stood up to take his leave, and Abala and the rest of the group came out to say goodbye.

Soon the group came to the river, and Abala said, "Follow the river to the front of the river where it joins another long river, and after walking for half a day to the side where there is wood, you will see a place on the opposite bank with a goat's flag, and the people there will speak your words." ”

Lawrence nodded in thanks, "Thank you for your guidance, and when I get back, someone will send me a gift." ”

Abala shook her head and said, "We didn't entertain you, we didn't do anything for you, you are such a powerful warrior, you don't need us to guide you at all." ”

Lawrence felt that these people, despite their words, were actually very concerned about their refusal to eat with them.

The more this kind of thing was explained, the more troublesome it became, and Lawrence quickly set out on his way home without saying anything more.

After Lawrence left, the people behind him really spoke in a very bad tone in a language that Lawrence didn't understand.

In cultures, food and wine are served to travelers as a form of hospitality, and a way for wealthy families to express their affluent class.

Muzasi and the others are all landlords of the Songye tribe, nobles who belong to this village or tribe, each of them has a dozen slaves, and the relationship between them is neither good nor bad, nothing special.

Therefore, I like to entertain some distinguished guests with status and strength, in order to show their wealth and status.

Lawrence walked in the direction of the Black Goat Tribe, understanding the attitude of those behind him.

Not everyone can get an invitation to dinner, and it is rude to refuse someone else's invitation, and it is even more impolite to agree to be a guest, and just take a bite when you arrive at someone else's house, and just wait for the person accompanying the guest to come and leave directly.

"These people seem to be doing well, and if they can care so much about face, they must have enough to eat, and they don't have so much time to spend looking for food."

"It seems that the Black Goat tribe sold potatoes and grain to them, but what did they exchange it for?"

Lawrence pondered the economic problems of the tribe just now.

First of all, there were no cattle there, and no domes were seen.

I can't say no, but at least it doesn't seem like much.

Without livestock, a lot of heavy physical work is hard to sustain, and it doesn't look like mining or hunting.

"Is it a traitor? It seems that there are a lot of people over there, and if you rent it out to work, you can really exchange it for a lot of food. ”

At first, there was a shortage of people in the town of Bhumixiu, so he pulled people from all over the country to work.

Then there was the port of the ferry, and then there were the gathering points of various ruins.

There is a serious shortage of people in many places, and if someone from outside is willing to come and help, then someone must be willing to give some food in exchange.

Lawrence is also not sure what the Pine Leaf Tribe relied on to get the support of the Black Goat Tribe, the only thing that is certain is that the Black Goat Tribe will not give them benefits for no reason, nor will they help them hunt wild boars and bears for free.

They will not even be tolerated to live upstream.

Unless that Abala has the strength to make the people of the Black Goat tribe fearful, and at the same time the two sides can benefit each other.

The premise of mutual benefit must be to have a certain strength, or technology.

I'm a little curious about it, but it's not a big deal.

A single wizard, whether it is a male witch or a witch, or an old wizard or a young wizard, cannot stop the development trend of the Star Country.

Lawrence also allowed some people who were not from his own country to live on the land, and judging from this contact, these people could be classified as friendly and communicative.

"It's good that it just lets many people know what kind of slave is outside, and slave is not a good word."

Lawrence allowed the Pine Leaf tribe to continue slavery, and there must be a negative example.

After one contact after another, the slaves there knew to resist themselves.

No one can continue to endure the darkness after seeing the light, and even if there is, it is a minority, and it cannot stop the majority of people from rebelling against their own injustice.

Lawrence quickly followed a few wooden bridges made of wood to the opposite bank.

At this time, he did not go directly to the Black Goat Tribe, but ran directly towards the location of Oak City.

The road leading to the mountain has been renovated so that it is now not only for people to walk and run, but also for wagons and ox carts to pass by.

Pallet carts pulled by manpower, wagons and wagons pulled by cattle and sheep can all be walked here.

Outside, there are also wooden boats coming from upstream on the river.

In the forested area inside the road, several inland rivers have also been reconnected to feed several small farms.

These two-metre-wide ditches can only be carried by two small cement boats, and because they are dug by hand, the roads in many places are straight, and farmland has been cleared near the river.

Even after three o'clock in the afternoon, serfs sown seeds could be seen behind the wide forest inside.

As the population of Bhumixiu and Ferry Harbor became saturated, more and more people began to divert south, and the population of the Land of Stars increased by an astonishing number.

More people support more arable land, and more arable land supports more people.

Lawrence walked on a dirt road with two low-lying puddles pressed by the wheels, which could easily become potholed due to the melting snow of the winter and the trampling of various trucks and livestock.

The only consolation is that there are no weeds on the road, which fully proves that this road has been trampled by countless people and used diligently.

Roads need to be repaired from time to time, as well as long-term maintenance.

And the time has come for the Nation of Stars, from conquest to governance of the vast land, repairing problematic places while maintaining those important places.

Lawrence sighed, he was in a hurry to go home, but after running for a while, he gradually walked smoothly again.

When things that are particularly anxious are about to be completed, if you still have some rich time, you will not be in such a hurry.

But that sentiment quickly faded.

Because the weather is getting colder and colder, the moon is sparse at this time, and there are no other pedestrians on the road.

Everyone else went home to eat and sleep, and he was still walking on the road alone......

Lawrence ran fast again, trying to get home as soon as possible.

The darkness of the environment prevented his steps from being as fast as in the day, and Lawrence quickly returned to the mountain with his familiarity with the road and the occasional moonlight peeking out of the clouds.

In the second half of the night, I finally came to a fork in the road.

Here, one road leads to Mountain Wind Manor and one road leads to Oak City.

The road to Oak City had just been repaired in the past two years, and the riverside road to Mountain Wind Manor had been around for seven or eight years.

The fatigue of the days was swept away, and Lawrence scurried towards the location of Oak City.

After a period of urgency and excitement, Lawrence finally returned to Oak City, back to the familiar courtyard.

The guards moved out of the way, and Lawrence didn't let anyone know, intending to surprise the family.

As soon as they approached the castle gate, three dark elves came out of the darkness.

"Welcome back, host."

Lawrence looked at the Dark Elf maid holding an oil lamp, who was Satice from the Dark Elf Sisters.

If you want to approach the castle gate in the dark, you must have a sharper sense of hearing and intuition than the dark elves.

"Satis, didn't you sleep? I just got close to you and came out. Lawrence smiled and greeted the dark elf hostess.

"I was watching the moonlight from the window on the third floor, and I knew you were back when I heard the voice of the guards outside. ”

Lawrence nodded and smiled, "Is everyone in the family here?" ”

Sadith replied, "Lord Catherine and Candace are waiting for you at the Mountain Wind Manor, along with Sophia and Saliel, and Heidi's little ones, from the last two days. ”

Lawrence felt relieved that he had a lot of people who cared about him.

After feeling that someone cared about him, Lawrence felt much more comfortable.

"Send someone to call them back after dawn." Lawrence will have to meet them again tomorrow.

"It's almost dawn," said Sartis, "and I'll send someone to inform a few adults. ”

Lawrence couldn't feel the specific time, only that it should be more than two or three o'clock, and the weather was very cold.

"Okay, then send someone to call them back." Lawrence felt a little tired, "It's still so cold here, the snow on the road hasn't melted, I'll take a shower first." ”

"Yes, do you need me to serve you?" Satith asked politely.

Lawrence said, "Of course. ”

Satith soon entered the house with Lawrence, and upon entering the warm room, she also heard a sound of footsteps.

The maids of the house were already dressed and stood in three rows in the living room.

This year, the Oak Castle has housed many beautiful women, some have been selected from the territory, some have been trained for several years, and some are the wives and daughters of various believers, and female relatives, and these people come to work as a kind of experience to increase their qualifications.

"Welcome back, host~"

Dozens of maids made a messy voice to greet the young man who had been gone for more than ten days.

Listening to the untidy, somewhat messy and inaccurate greeting, Lawrence felt more comfortable.

"I'm back." Lawrence smiled, "This time I managed to reach the top of the mountains, and I also received God's instructions. ”

God's instructions?

The nobles and slaves in the maid's ranks were curious as to what this instruction was.

Lawrence didn't say much, though, and quickly went to take a shower and rest.

Emma quickly summoned the kitchen maid, "The kitchen guy comes over and cooks!" Hurry up and boil the water! ”

Several maids nearby quickly responded: "Yes! Emma Maid Chief! ”

The cleaning of the house, the cooking of the cooking, the preparation of the clothes, and the people who go to inform and prepare for various things.

The women of the family also came down to greet Lawrence, and while eating with Lawrence in the bathroom, they chatted about all kinds of things happening on the road and at home.

Kassandra sat next to Lawrence, eating beef on her plate with Lawrence.

"During this time, apart from worrying about your affairs, there is only O'Raua going back to Vakiri, and the establishment of a territory in Siddle by Seravon."

Kassandra said these two things, some specific things she knew.

Candace sat on Lawrence's body, put her hands on her knees under the water, and used her delicate body to relieve Lawrence's fatigue.

On the other side of Lawrence, on the underwater steps, sat the most knowledgeable Emerald Lady in the region.

Lady Emerald leaned against Lawrence and said, "One more thing, the merchants who have recently come here have brought with them a medicine that is only found in the East, and I suspect that the people of some part of this land have re-established trade with the East. ”

Lawrence's originally soothing mental state quickly became solemn, "What kind of drug?" ”

Lady Jade replied, "It's a vomiting potion that can make people vomit out food that they ate ten minutes ago." ”

"This potion is like garlic water when you drink it, but after a few minutes, it makes you feel nauseous, and this nausea will have to be spit out of your stomach to go away."

Lawrence felt even more strange, "What is this potion for?" ”

"It's used to induce vomiting." Lady Emerald explained to Lawrence: "The aristocracy of the East likes to enjoy food, they eat for the sake of deliciousness, and having too much in the stomach will affect them to continue to enjoy the food, so this emetic potion has always been an important consumer product for the nobility of the East." ”

Lawrence felt that he might be able to live in peace with the Orientals.
