Loshanda is finally back in Oak City.

In the castle drawing-room, where the lights were bright and the air was warm and inhabiting, Losanda and Delen sat on the soft sofa and leaned on, and the whole person relaxed.

Lawrence sat across from Loshanda, looking at Delen and Emma, the beekeeper witch, who had returned.

"Didn't Sartice come back?"

Lawrence didn't see Sardiet, but there were several dark elves in the team that came back this time, as well as the elite soldiers that Sardine had taken with him before.

These elite soldiers are all warriors who have been cultivated over the years, and they are also members of the legion that Lawrence actually controls.

Losanda replied, "She's all right, they were looking for a way out in the forest when we found them, and these dark elves got lost in the forest. ”

Lawrence looked surprised, in the original feeling, the elves should not get lost in the forest, including the dark elves.

However, if you think about it carefully, this perception is incorrect, unless you have a certain special talent, otherwise it is indeed easy to get lost in a complex terrain environment.

"It's fine." Lawrence was relieved that as long as a few people were okay, the rest of the things didn't matter.

With this in mind, Lawrence suddenly felt that he was a very unqualified ruler.

As long as it is a family member that they trust, whether they have talent or not, even if they lose the battle in a row, they can't do anything well, and when they really let the people they work with fall into a dead end, the first thing I care about is a few of them.

Lawrence felt more and more that he was not fit to be a king, and he could not be a king.

Seeing that Lawrence didn't ask, Losanda said to herself: "This time we found the mountain people you saw, they are not fleeing witches from the south, but the descendants of the elves who have been exiled from the elves. ”

"The ancestors of these half-elves mixed with humans and gave birth to them, and they broke the rules of the forest, so they were exiled to the mountains to fend for themselves."

"When we negotiated with them, they only wanted us to leave as soon as possible, and they couldn't continue to negotiate."

Lawrence wondered, "Didn't you tell them my name?" ”

"Yes," said Loshanda, "but they don't care about it. ”

Lawrence thinks Losanda may have gone to the wrong place, but it doesn't matter.

"Well, this matter is like this first, wait a few years, you have a good rest now, you have worked hard for the past two months."

"We came back first, Satice and the Holy Legion were sorting out the corpse of the Earth Storm Bear at the manor, and this time we met an elderly Earth Storm Bear and it took a lot of effort to kill it. ”

Lawrence had five legions under his command.

A garrison corps responsible for coordinating the defense of several important places in various countries and countries.

Trained at the military academies in the towns of Vakiri and Phumishu, the Guard Corps, which was ready to participate in defensive battles, was basically made up of commanders and military personnel with military training.

Expeditionary Corps in charge of foreign wars.

The security corps patrolling towns and territories are mainly militia and male laborers, and are basically adult men from large families in towns and villages.

Finally, the Holy Legion, which is composed of loyal and valiant men, is selected from the faithful and the various legions.

Satis and Losanda took with them the soldiers of the Holy Legion, basically all of whom had lived in this land for seven or eight years.

This group of warriors had a pious fighting spirit, and their families and part of their life memories were all left by Lawrence's side, and they were Lawrence's followers.

When encountering the Earth Storm Bear, normal people will run away, these people will not, they will firmly form a line of defense and give the rear a chance.

Lawrence knew exactly what Delenn meant when he said that it took a lot of effort, and that he must have lost a lot of people in the battle.

"Take a break, it's almost dawn." Lawrence looked at the morning light, "I'll wait and see, and give glory to those brave warriors." ”

Both Loshanda and Deren were tired, and Delen stretched his waist and said, "I'll sleep here, I don't want to go up." ”

Lawrence smiled: "It's better for you to go to sleep in the house, otherwise when everyone gets up at dawn, someone will definitely come to greet you, wake you up from a groggy sleep, and happily ask you how you came back." ”

Delenn thought seriously about Lawrence's words, and quickly stood up and said, "You're right. ”

Despite being very tired, Delenn and the others got up from the comfortable sofa and went upstairs to go back to the house to sleep.

Emma, the beekeeper witch, also went to the guest room to rest, and the maid and the maid who came back with her were also well taken care of.

Lawrence began to busily provide bereavement to those who had died.

Just like the scars and glory brought by the Earth Storm Bear that he encountered for the first time, the descendants and families of the warriors who died under the claws of the Earth Storm Bear this time will receive the same, if not higher, rewards.

A portion of the Earth Storm Bear will be given to the living warriors and the descendants of the fallen warriors as a testament to the existence of this glory.

By the time we were done with these post-war events, it was already summer.

There was also a battle on the battlefield between the front line and the Church of Dawn, and the larger Covenant forces were victorious.

Lawrence just cut off the food supply to the elven kingdom and did not send people to the forest to trouble these elves.

Since the threat of a declaration of war, Lawrence has not set his sights on the Greenwood Kingdom.

The elves can be closed and consumed, they are used to the ancient and peaceful life inside.

Even if there is not enough food to eat, they can grow it themselves with mysterious powers.

But at what cost?

The price is that those upper elves who are transcendentals must serve all elves.

It was only a month or two later, Dana's friends came uninvited, and without taking the initiative to invite them, and without trying to sneak into the Green Forest Kingdom to contact these elves, these elves themselves came to visit the benevolent Raven Feather Prophet, His Majesty Lawrence.

Oak City Council Hall.

Lawrence sat on this shady throne, a room that had been cursed since the killing of the Three Witches, and which had an eerie air in winter and summer.

Beside Lawrence stood several female guards with the identity of shield maidens, as well as carefully selected battlefield generals who made a lot of contributions.

Dana stood below, and two meters behind Dana stood the elf who had come to take refuge this time.

One man and one woman, the man looks old, said to be elves, more like a goblin.

This male elf is a little ugly, maybe he was a big handsome guy when he was young, but now when he gets old, he feels ugly and scary, and he doesn't look like a good thing.

The female elf is also not young, with a fat body like a wine barrel, a chubby round face, and looks like a dwarven female warrior.

Dana explains, "This is the young elf Shuda I used to know in the forest, and this is Shuda's sister Dahir. ”

Lawrence looked at the three elves calmly, in fact, Dana was a little older.

Because of the very strong relationship of the bloodline, Dana has a longer lifespan and has no problem living to be two hundred years old, while the average inferior bloodline begins to age after the age of ninety.

In comparison, Loshanda, who is just less than fifty years old, is probably the level of little Lolita in Dana's eyes.

"I'm glad you're here, but I want to know why you're here." Lawrence looked at the strange elven siblings majestically, "If you want to settle down here, then you have to be honest with me. ”

Shuda lowered his head nervously, "Your Majesty the Prophet, we have been abused by the Queen, who asked me to keep planting wheat, and said that if I don't do this, I will be defeated by your soldiers in the future. ”

"The queen has deceived us, and we have come to this land of abundance and peace in the hope of being blessed by your gracious you!"

Lawrence also lacks a wheat spirit, "Since you don't want to plant wheat in the forest, are you willing to plant wheat here with me?" ”

In response to Lawrence's inquiry, Shuda replied respectfully, "You have more land here, and if you need wheat, I can find a way to make it grow faster." ”

Lawrence was particularly curious, "Then why didn't you want to plant wheat when the queen asked you to plant it?" ”

Shuda didn't know what the rumored wizard's temper was, he had been living in his own house before, and he didn't know much about the outside world.

Now that he came out, he was not good at negotiating, so the information he obtained was very limited.

The only thing Shuda knows for sure is that this young-looking man has terrifying strength, and his methods must be cruel.

Ever since he entered the room, the stinging skin and eyes had been warning him of a very dangerous situation.

"The queen has asked me to keep conjuring wheat in the little place behind the house, and every day I have to give the elves a cartload of wheat from the land, and if I continue that kind of thing, I will surely die."

As he spoke, Shuda had the temper of a wizard, and said angrily and resentfully, "I'm not a livestock! ”

Lawrence nodded, "Don't worry, you are a nobleman here, this is your due treatment, you don't even need to grow wheat, you just need to tell others how to grow wheat, and let others do the work for you." ”

This male elf's abilities are supposed to be plant-based, which is useful to Lawrence, and Lawrence doesn't mind giving this refuge some good treatment.

Shuda was finally relieved and relieved that she could continue to live.

When I came to this house, I was always worried about whether I would be killed.

Lawrence looked at the female elf Dahir, "Dahir, what are your abilities?" Was he also abused by the Elf Queen like Shuda? ”

Dahir sensed Lawrence's sincerity and said heartily: "I can feel the emotions of the people around me, and I can also dig holes in the ground to store food." ”

"The reason why I came out was when I was patrolling the forest with the warriors, and everyone thought at first that the humans outside would come in and kill us elves and take our women and children."

"Later, after a while, patrolling and walking around the forest every day, everyone got impatient, and some elves who had been here said that it was very good."

"When I came back, I saw that my brother was working so hard, so I took the initiative to persuade him to come and try it, since Dana stayed here, and Lord Oloda also said that this place was good, then it shouldn't be too bad here."

Lawrence was very surprised, originally thought that this ugly male elf couldn't stand the oppression and took the initiative to defect with his sister, but the reality was that this hearty-looking elf sister saw that her brother was being squeezed too hard by the queen, and directly persuaded her brother.

Dana took the initiative to explain: "Shuda can control the thorns in the forest, so that the thorns are separated from the tangled branches, and Dahir can dig a hole in the ground, and the two of them sneaked to the Flying Fish Harbor while the other elves were not looking. ”

Lawrence decided to take in the elven siblings, "Very well, you can choose your own place to live in the future, and then you can design your own house, or I can help you design a small two-story house suitable for living." ”

"In the future, I will provide you with food and daily necessities, you only need to help me research some crops every year, and the rest of the time you can go wherever you want."

"If you want to study any projects, such as herbs and witchcraft, you can also apply with me, and I will give you some money and materials as funding, as long as you give me some after researching."

"It doesn't matter if you can't do it, there is no such thing as absolute success, but successful research will make me more willing to fund you."

Lawrence smiled and said: "There is no need to rush this matter, I will give you 10,000 copper coins each first, you can use it in the port and the town as you like, and then come back to me when you are finished." ”

"Remember, you can only use and consume things to buy, not throw away and melt them."

The elf siblings were surprised by this request.

Dahir said suspiciously: "It sounds a little strange, but there is no problem, I see that the humans here use copper coins in exchange for food and wine, can we also use this?" ”

Dahir wanted to make sure there was no requirement to spend the money.

Sophia on the side couldn't help but laugh.

Lawrence said solemnly: "This request may sound ridiculous at first, but it makes a lot of sense, and I can tell you for sure that whether it is a human or an elf, or something else, even if it is a dog, as long as it can pay for it to go to the tavern, it can also exchange the money for the same amount of food." ”

"While I don't think many people have fully complied with my expectations and demands yet, I assure you that I will carry it out, at least so that the town and the city's shopkeepers and taverns will realize that this is what I demand from them."

"As long as the money is obtained from regular means, anyone, any living being, can enjoy my protection!"

Whether things can be done or not is not certain, Shuda and Dahir siblings did not think about whether this matter is true or not, they only feel Lawrence's attitude now.

Lawrence's attitude was important, and he quickly reassured the elven siblings and made them less defensive about the place. (End of chapter)
