The monastery is made up of tall houses, and at the outermost point is a courtyard wall surrounded by a wooden fence.

Outside, there are stones and seawater.

It is located on the coast of Ferry Harbour, two to three hundred meters away from the deserted sandy reef area, and some trees have been specially planted nearby to keep out the cold winds.

The monastery was only seven or eight hundred meters away from the core area of the port, and it was originally thought that the place was already very remote, but with the expansion of the port, the monastery soon entered the core again.

Many of the women of the monastery could go out shopping, or they could go out and spend money on what they needed, or even drink outside.

The monastery initially lacked the kind of pedantic nuns, so many people did not have the idea of being strict with themselves.

In the last year or two, it should be said that since the occupation of the Io Kingdom, not only one or two nuns feel that this is not good, but many nuns feel that they should be stricter and not destroy the image of nuns.

After all, in the Church of the Stars, nuns are supposed to be pure and holy.

Whether it was a noble woman who came from outside to study and visit the monastery, or a trainee nun who had not been exposed to the teachings of the outside Church but lived in the monastery and church for a while.

These people felt that there were some things that were bad and that they should remain faithful and pure to the great prophet.

Lawrence regularly listened to the various church abbeys, especially the complaints of several abbots and stewards, so he was already familiar with the Harbour Abbey.

There are large rooms dedicated to offices, as well as comfortable rooms for aristocratic women and Lawrence to rest.

Lawrence walked into the room, which was filled with books, the basic information of each nun and the contributions of each nun over the years.

Some were recorded on wood chips, some on dominoes, but there were very few parchment rolls.

Parchment rolls were not easy to make, and Lawrence made paper early on.

The butt wipe paper is a failed product, and the successful part is naturally used and sold.

Lawrence looked at the books and papers on the shelves, while Catherine and Sophia behind her were holding wax tables and placing them in their corresponding positions to illuminate them.

The light of the lighting beads is too bright, and there is still no excavation and manufacturing technology from the church, so except for a few lighting beads obtained in exchange for the black market, the most commonly used candles are made of beeswax.

Lawrence sat behind his desk with the map in hand, thinking about his next steps.

The families of the Io kingdom are divided by class, and each class and estate has a noble spokesperson.

For example, the fish family based on shipping and trade, the lizard family based on military and military technology, the snake family based on urban entertainment and underground organizations, and the bird family based on high intellectuals (minor nobles) and churches. Even though the kingdom of Io is a thing of the past, Lawrence still feels that this distribution is already very advanced when he thinks about it.

Lawrence pondered the division on his side.

Because it is more controllable than the Xiong family, it is necessary to be cautious about several industries to be developed in the future.

Sometimes it's not who you want to use, it's who stands out and can be used by yourself.

Regardless of the last name of those people, as long as he stands out in several industries, he must belong to the representative of this power.

It's like the nuns will gradually control themselves, no matter what they think in private, at least to prove their honor, they must pay lip service to the strict system.

Lawrence looked at the map and thought about the estates of several kingdoms.

Papermaking must be developed as soon as possible, and if you want to spread knowledge faster, paper must be indispensable.

In the division of the covenant with the three kingdoms, the country of the stars is responsible for developing gunpowder, printing books, compasses, papermaking and other technologies, and is also responsible for absorbing and summarizing the knowledge of each country, and then feeding it back to the students of each country.

Now the papermaking technology can not develop, mainly due to the lack of manpower, in addition to the war is to fight in the past few years, it is difficult to rest for two years and is busy with all kinds of messy things all day long.

Some time ago, the main focus was on the mechanical side, but this year it will definitely be busy with gunpowder and artillery, and capable craftsmen are very busy every day, and there is no time to make blank paper on a large scale.

Papermaking is labor-intensive, and there are many advanced paper processes, which take a lot more time than straw paper, and it will take at least five or six years for the next batch of craftsmen to be trained in the towns of Dum Port and Bhumisiu.

Several aristocratic families in the military are actually easy to divide, whether it is a bear's claw or a deer antler, it doesn't matter, and slaying dragons and fish is only the difference between strength and weakness.

Lawrence's primary concern is how to build a solid alliance.

After thinking about it for more than ten minutes, Lawrence quickly didn't want to worry about these troublesome things.

Ferry Harbor, Phumisius Town, and Oak City are all under his own control, or he is in charge of his cronies.

To the south, Stehl was handed over to Seravin and Vakiri to Beauf, and both had already begun to establish families in the region.

Just like many local earls, no matter how loyal these two families are now, everything will follow reality, interests and strength after a hundred years.

A hundred years from now, it's useless to think too much, Lawrence hopes that the country he has built will last for at least three to five hundred years, as described in many places.

"Master, those slave girls are here." Sophia sensed the approach of outsiders and quickly alerted Lawrence.

Lawrence no longer wanted to bother things, and at this time he was much more interested in a few witches than he had previously wanted to know about the division of aristocratic power.

"Let them in."

The shield maidens guarding the door gave way, and Hela walked into the house with the three nuns.

Hela soon found Lawrence reading a book and thinking about something, apparently while the Great Prophet was still busy with his work.

"Prophet, the trainees you named are here, and I brought them."

Hela spoke respectfully to Lawrence.

Of all the saints, Hela was actually the most loyal.

Her ability comes from dedication to Lawrence, and when she awakened her ability, she also awakened by Lawrence's side, believing that everything about herself was given by Lawrence, so she was the most humble and active in her mental and physical actions.

Lawrence's act of naming three beautiful beauties is very normal in Hela's eyes, even sacred, and her love knows no bounds.

Under Hela's influence, Avenla developed a correct perception of Lawrence.

Audrey and Darienne are both adults in their twenties, and have normal perceptions, knowing that Lawrence is powerful, but strength is not directly related to loyalty.

Only Avenla, who was wrongly educated since she was a child, and then collapsed her faith and was affected by Hela's training, had a fanaticism that the other two did not have.

"Your Majesty the Prophet!" Avenra fell to her knees and bowed her head to look at the Venerable Prophet.

"Your Majesty the Prophet." Audrey and Darien also knelt down and saluted together.

Lawrence looked at the three of them, his face calm, not seeing the smile of his old acquaintance, nor as funny as he had been in the early years.

"I've learned about your performance from Hela, and it's a preliminary endorsement that you can come here to meet me, but it doesn't mean that you can enter Oak City."

As soon as Lawrence finished speaking, Avenla quickly said, "Yes! Your Majesty the Prophet! Rest assured, I will complete all the trials perfectly, in order to dedicate my body and soul to let you know! Your Majesty the Great Merciful Prophet!! ”

Lawrence was very calm, "It seems that there is still some distance from that day, you must live here for a while, receive guidance and education here, and at the same time, I will also give you some permission." ”

"Avenla, do you know how to write?"

Lawrence wasn't sure if these aristocratic women could write, it felt like a necessary skill, but when he came into this world, he often had the wrong feeling about some aristocratic habits.

Avenla hurriedly said, "Please rest assured! I learned to write in the monastery and have been practicing these days! ”

Lawrence's feelings were not wrong, and Arwenla did not receive too much of a detailed education before being captured.

However, witches learn very quickly, and the stronger the witch, the stronger the learning ability.

Judging by Heidi and Sophia's performances, both young witches are extremely creative and specialized.

"Okay, you are responsible for copying some books and documents first, and at the same time, I allow you to find a few trainees or nuns to help you work, in addition to copying work, you have to learn some of our skills here as soon as possible, and I will send someone to teach you what you need."

Avenla, who was taken seriously, excitedly agreed, "I will complete all your explanations!" Your Majesty the Prophet! ”

Lawrence looked calmly at the other two witches.

"Audrey, Dalien, you two can live here with peace of mind, and you can also do more things to be valued, our doctrine here is to work more and get more, and be willing to give, especially those who are willing to pay for me, there will be no less reward."

Audrey and Darienne certainly wanted to serve the prophets, especially the prophets.

"Yes! Your Majesty the Merciful Prophet! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty the Great Prophet! ”

Because of the different cognitive perspectives, when the two women spoke according to the formula, they said different prefixes.

The women of the monastery had actually taught the rules of talking to the prophet, and you should never meet the prophet and say something to you.

In fact, there were not so many formulaic responses at the beginning, but with the time and strong organization, and after the personnel were complex, "etiquette" and "rules" appeared.

Lawrence is not averse to this kind of thing, everyone must have a common rule when they are stable, just like unifying language and writing, and the daily aspects are actually subtly converging.

This tends to be more important than simple language and writing, from the rules of eating to the rules of greeting, it is easy to accept and get used to this kind of life.

In this country occupied by barbarians and barbaric ideas, if we do not establish good rules and enclose good places, then both people and things will grow savagely.

Lawrence quickly let the trio go, not accepting their service.

After Hela leaves with the three beauties, Sophia is curious about Lawrence's actions.

"Master, are those three slave girls upsetting you? You've always been serious when you talk to them, and you've never laughed. ”

Sophia voiced the doubts in her heart.

Lawrence smiled, "It's tiring to keep smiling all the time, and a lot of times, smiling is squeezed out. ”

Sophia was confused for a few seconds, not quite sure what Lawrence meant.

Catherine, on the contrary, had a different understanding, "Those people are lowly slave girls, and there is no need to smile at them. ”

"Well, I see!" Sophia quickly accepted the statement and smiled happily.

In a regular big family, no family patriarch would always smile at his servants.

Even when he treats his wife and children, he has a cold face many times.

Catherine suddenly had the feeling that Lawrence had grown up.

Lawrence matures!

Now Lawrence is undoubtedly more like a real wizard, more mature and steady, and more powerful and intelligent.

Lawrence raised his hand and stretched, but he was embarrassed to talk to them with a hippie smile after knowing that Avenla adored him.

And then there is the fact that Avenla's strength does not seem to be weak, and now even if she has the body of a berserker, she will not risk her death casually, and Lawrence is not completely at ease with these adult women in their teens and twenties.

What he did, Lawrence knew very well, if he slept with these women, Lawrence not only did not have any sense of accomplishment or conquest, but would not be able to sleep.

At least until the kingdom of Io really settles down and returns to its former prosperity and calm, then it can be psychologically passable.

After spending one night at the Harbour Abbey, and the next day praying with the nuns, and listening to the complaints and reports of various women, Lawrence left the monastery to seek information in the tavern and the harbor.

The matter of slaying the dragon has not yet been resolved, and another thing mentioned earlier has made progress.

No sooner had Lawrence returned home than Heidi stood at the top of the stairs with a heavy stack of squares of paper.

"Master, I have already designed the sluice you talked about in winter, not only to pull the boats from the lower places to the higher places, but also to use the water flow formed by the drop to design a set of automatic chiseling devices that can be used in waterfalls and large water flow areas."

Hearing Heidi's words, Sophia behind Lawrence frowned tightly, her teeth clenched together.

Lawrence showed a surprised look, he had nothing to do in the eternal night, and he did tell Heidi about his ideas.

However, I didn't expect Heidi to be so efficient, and it only took more than two months to come up with something useful.

Lawrence decides to listen to Heidi's report and realizes how terrifying a witch is who has learned all his scientific knowledge.

As long as these witches are willing to work hard and do something, they are really more useful than themselves as modern people.

"Okay, let's go to the study." Lawrence can't wait.

Heidi respectfully said, "Yes, master." ”

After saying that, Heidi looked up and made eye contact with Sophia behind Lawrence.

The smell of gunpowder speaks for itself.

Heidi walked beside Lawrence, meek as a little secretary and constantly talking about work.

"Master, there are several waterfalls on the side of Mount Talim where we went before, and the water there is very suitable for our use."

"And the areas you've explored, where you've heard that the water is very strong, and it's a great place to use to create new industrial areas."

Sophia glared at Heidi who was far away, and after thinking about it, she was still very unconvinced.

I'm going to get better too!! Sophia made up her mind! (End of chapter)
