Chapter 68: Expansion

The good news from the West soon came, and the Covenant forces had taken over the Church's lair, the warmest and most fertile land, and the most comfortable and prosperous bay!

The entire Nation of Stars is in a state of festivities, driving out powerful enemies and expelling terrifying dragons!

Lawrence was as calm as ever, and after spending hours thinking about what he didn't understand, Lawrence finally found a decent explanation.

"It shouldn't be a ploy, a ploy to abandon the whole country and the vast majority of believers in this way, it's more like an act of escape."

Because of conventional thinking, Lawrence couldn't understand why the mysterious and powerful Transcendent Pope would just leave, without even the slightest decent resistance.

The other party is mysterious and powerful, and is a very dangerous existence in Lawrence's mind.

But such a strong man did something that did not fit Lawrence's definition of a strong man.

Lawrence could only explain this outrageous behavior with his own mind.

"The higher-ups don't care about what happens below, for them, the collective is just a tool to gain benefits, and they believe that they can still do it even if they go elsewhere."

Lawrence suddenly opened his mind, "So that means that even if my ability leaves the Land of Stars, it can still be used normally?" ”

"That's good news, for me."

Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, and although he had no intention of leaving the Frozen Lands, the Church of Dawn's approach gave Lawrence some more confidence in his heart. "Now it's time to divide up the land and assets of the church, although the report says that many treasures have been taken away, and there is not much population left, but the land cannot be taken away."

"Whoever knocks it down will be the one who has said before, but I still want a tropical island as a resort island with regular beach parties."

"Then let's ask them to buy a small island, it's just a small island, it's not worth much, and it's to deal with the pirates in the south and the remnants of the church."

"It's okay to live by the sea for a few days, there's no need to live all the time, if you really want a comfortable garden area, the mountain side should be a good choice."

Lawrence quickly made a distinction between what was going on outside and what was going on at home.

The outside is the Star Alliance's business, and the family is the business of yourself and your family.

The women in the family don't really like to be busy, they like a quiet atmosphere, the kind that is quiet and comfortable and not too lonely.

Oak City has recently been populated by too many people, and some of the nearby land has also been repopulated, resulting in houses and large fields of farmland and vegetable fields when you look out of the ring.

This lively and tranquil atmosphere is not liked by these transcendent women, who actually do not like to live too close to ordinary people.

I want to enjoy the good life and the convenience of the population, but I also want to not have so many low-quality people around me, and even to the point that except for the people I want to see and the people I want to tell me to do, the rest of the people should not appear in sight, and the servants must be on call.

These are not difficult to do, Lawrence experienced the concealment and service awareness of the dark elves, and also found that this need is not difficult to do after investigation and experience.

At least for a powerful top witch, this is a reasonable request.

As soon as he thought of it, Lawrence looked around and found Harlan and Catherine and Delen Emerald playing cards downstairs.

Sophia has recently been busy designing large bell towers in various churches and monasteries, and this kind of face-saving project is the right thing for the faithful.

Salyl took her two little children to school to study, so that the two little ones who don't like to study can feel the atmosphere of learning.

Lawrence walked over to the table and sat down with Jade, who was a little thinner.

"The next month or two will be busy with the port and the alliance, the distribution after the victory, in short, some indifferent conversations."

Lawrence's words were not echoed by the rest.

Keharan continued to look at his cards, the witches' ability to think and remember allowed them to remember the cards played by others without the need for a card teller, and the fact that they did not urge others to play their cards did not take a normal two or three hands.

Lawrence continued: "The main thing to do next is to distribute and coordinate the harvest, and then take advantage of this slightly more peaceful time to develop the middle section of the mountain and build a snow-capped castle there. ”

Jade was curious: "Want to build a castle on the snowy mountain?" ”

Lawrence put his arm around Jade's waist and smiled, "No, the castle was built on the hillside flat on the other side of us, where the winter is not as cold as ours, and the spring is much earlier than ours." ”

Delenn quickly understood what Lawrence meant, and since Lawrence was talking about this here, there must be something to arrange.

"Need me to come over?" Delenn raised an eyebrow and guessed Lawrence's thoughts.

That's exactly what Lawrence meant, "Your abilities are good for quickly building a solid base, and you have an excellent sense of the environment and anomalies in the mountains, especially if you've been there once before." ”

Delenn thought about it for a moment and quickly calculated the various needs and problems.

"How to solve the problem of food and shelter?" Delenn simply raised a question, which also included a series of treatment issues, and a sentence showed a lot of attitudes.

"The food will be brought with you, and the place to live will be easy to solve according to your ability." Lawrence reassured: "I will not let you go directly, a month or two ago I sent a team of men to set up a guard post and a lumber yard there, built a number of houses, and raised some chickens and sheep. ”

"It's been a research place and an artisan area for a while, you used to be in charge of where we lived, and I'm going to let you go in two months, when it's autumn, and the roads and climate will be much better."

"If all goes well, I'll spend the winter there this year."

Delenn nodded and said happily, "Okay." ”

Keharlan saw that Delenn agreed, and at this time he also felt that this matter would have something to do with him.

"Do you need me to come over?"

"Yes." Lawrence nodded and admitted, "The second-level area has large lakes and waterholes, and there are very few areas of soil suitable for crops, I hope you have cultivated aquatic crops from local crops in the past, I have asked the merchants to look for them, and this time will bring back suitable seeds." ”

Relying on a large territory and population, as well as the care of merchants from all over the world, Lawrence was able to get some strange seeds from all over the continent every year.

After the initial development of agricultural commerce, the huge advantages brought by strength also allowed commerce and agriculture to be fed.

Especially now that the Western Church has been solved, it can free up huge forces to concentrate on dealing with the Holy Light Church, and when the time comes, it can also get more merchants and nobles to take the initiative to pay homage.

Catherine and Emerald didn't take the initiative to ask, both of them had their own things to take care of, and neither had anything to do with the business of expanding the new city.

Catherine's role is unique and no one can replace her, even if Lawrence basically doesn't let her change for a while, but walks around with her in human form, but if something really happens, Catherine can definitely provide a huge help.

Jadeite's main business is to discipline the students of the Holy Virgin Academy, responsible for keeping the group of researchers in compliance with the rules and developing research, while also relying on business knowledge and former management skills to remotely supervise the construction of the swamp trading port.

Lawrence touched Jade's strange seaweed-like hair, "Jade, in half a month, you will take Heidi and her to the foot of the snowy mountain for a two-month research internship." ”

Jade wondered, "Why me?" What do I need to do? ”

Lawrence naturally has his own considerations, "Heidi's waterfall industrial area can be activated, this kind of thing can't just stay on paper, she and her friends need to see the waterfall terrain there in person, and your observation and listening skills can better measure the topographic map, plus the group of girls also need to be supervised by someone after they go out." ”

"Let Heidi think about the industrial matters for herself, and I will decide whether to adopt it later, and you will be mainly responsible for finding the suitable address of the academy and the castle estate."

"One college alone is still too little, and without the threat of the church, we will gather more high-quality talents, and one college cannot accommodate it."

Lawrence had thought about these things for a long time and had been arranging them all along.

The time for the population explosion in the country of stars has long arrived, and some of the smart children born a few years ago are almost at school time.

After the threat of the Church is resolved, the children of some noble knights will also voluntarily join the Kingdom of Stars, which is one of the many benefits of determining supremacy.

"Okay." Emerald has no opinion.

Catherine was a little unconfident and asked, "Is there anything you need me to do?" ”

Lawrence smiled, "Just help me have a baby, we have more than a dozen transcendents here, but there are only two offspring, so it can't go on like this." ”

Everyone smiled, and they all understood the seriousness of this problem, and understood that the bloodline of the transcendent would become less and less, and closer and closer to ordinary mortals.

Understand, but whether it is Lawrence, Drenke Harlan and others, they actually don't care......

Khallan proposed, "Are all the pastors of the Dawn Church dead?" Didn't take one or two prisoners? ”

The conversation grew celebratory and Lawrence smiled.

"There should be, I don't believe that the female pastors of the Dawn Church are so religious."

Khalan's smile grew amused, "You're going to be disappointed, as far as I know about the two churches, their priestesses are hardcore witches. ”

Lawrence quickly dropped some of the thoughts, "That's it. ”

Because of his trust in Khalan, and because he did not have a good impression of the women of the church, he gave up decisively.

Delen shook his head, "Those female nobles outside who are not firm in their beliefs, you have to screen for four or five years before you are willing to arrange things around you, and the pastor of the church must be screened for more than ten years before you are willing to rest assured, and it doesn't matter if you look long." ”

Lawrence nodded seriously, "Delend is right, he really understands me!" ”

Jade and Lawrence are not so close yet, even if they are now being hugged by Lawrence around their waist and touching their chests, in fact, they are only physically close.

After running out of intimate topics to talk about, and not daring to make jokes about Lawrence like Keharan, Emerald spends most of her time talking to Lawrence.

"Master, is that Sea Clan still alive now?"

Lawrence asked, "Still alive and in good spirits, what's the problem?" ”

Emerald was as respectful as ever, and she was always able to say something more serious while Lawrence was holding her.

"Most of the mountains to the west are full of lakes and streams, so this environment is more suitable for the sea tribe, we can keep it in the waters of the mountains, or let it help us raise fish and sea vegetables by the sea."

"When this sea clan grows up in the future, he can take us to explore more waters, and even help us better master the witch swamp."

Lawrence thought for a moment, "Wait a year for a year, and then talk about it when it grows a little bigger." ”

"When the time comes, it's up to it to see what it thinks, anyway, we have a big territory here, whether it's in the sea, mountains, lakes and streams, it can go wherever it wants." (End of chapter)
