Chapter 71: Discussion

The long-term comfortable life not only made Lawrence gradually lose interest in women, but also the pursuit of justice and justice diluted a lot.

Being served every day, especially by many people with gratitude and adoration, is still affected by this life, even as Lawrence reminds himself every day to stay sane.

Fortunately, Lawrence was still very conscious, and after Stella agreed to stay, Lawrence, who had long lacked attention to the Greenwood Kingdom, quickly thought about the area.

On the way back to Oak Castle together, Lawrence and Stella, who sat across the car from the car, continued to talk about political affairs.

"Stella, I've thought about it seriously, the matter with the Green Forest Kingdom is not suitable for direct conduct, I have thought about this matter before, if the elves are scattered, it will be easy to expand the problem."

"What you want is peace, you don't want the elves to slaughter the weak, and what I want is to resolve the hostility between the two sides, so that both sides can coexist peacefully, neither the elves kill humans, nor the humans retaliate against the elves, so that the hatred spreads endlessly."

Stella looked at the young, strong, benevolent and wise young man with reverence.

"You think more than I do, all I can do is run away, or muster up the courage to resist, but you can tell me that I can do more, and I want your wisdom!"

Stella officially turned to Lawrence for help to solve the problem.

Lawrence felt that he was not so noble and intelligent, but he was too embarrassed to speak too casually when he was watched by a beautiful and serious female elf.

"The tip and scabbard of the sword are all part of the sword, the storm at sea brings not only the seawater, wealth is the source of the endless struggle between brothers and relatives, life is like the waves of a great river, ups and downs."

Lawrence said nonsense that he didn't understand, and under the thoughtful appearance of the female elf, he felt really tired to talk like this.

"Hatred must be dissolved, and struggle must always be accompanied by sacrifice!" Lawrence said solemnly: "I will send my warriors to hide among those foreign outcasts, and if the next group of elves who go out hunting are killed, or fail to flee back, then they will understand the danger of reaching out to the flames!" ”

"Humans and elves are not wolves and sheep, beasts and prey, just like the transcendents and humans here in my place, not only these, but even priests who believe in God can live peacefully with everyone."

Lawrence opened his hands, "What I want to create is this kind of world, God also guides us in this way, we are all creatures of this land, it is true that there are strong and weak, some are born strong, but this is not a reason for them to hurt others." ”

"Those elves didn't kill my slaves, nor my people and friends, so I won't dwell on the past."

Lawrence behaved very generously, in fact, this matter was a matter for the outcasts and elves of the Kogiac Kingdom, not for Stella to stand up against her kindred, Lawrence would not care about this kind of thing at all.

"But this kind of thing is dangerous, and what they did will stay in everyone's memory, including their own perception, and I don't think it can be peaceful like this."

"In my memory, two hostile countries can re-freeze their old suspicions, or they can fight back and forth a few years ago, and after a few years they will have friendly exchanges, but there must be some butchers with bloody hands to go down and atone for their sins."

"In other words, I will set traps to kill some of the elves who participate in the hunt of humans, whether they are men or women, old people or children."

"Only by making the aggressor feel the pain can the war stop, not just and justice, nor the protest of the weak."

Lawrence decides to inflict pain, but also considers Stella's feelings, after all, it will be her friend who may die.

Stella didn't hesitate, nodded directly and said: "This is the right thing to do, I will pray for these dead elves to lay flowers, but I also feel that they should have such an end, I will stay in Ferry Harbor to help maintain law and order, and help more elves know this god-given land." ”

Stella felt that there was nothing wrong with Lawrence's approach.

This way of dealing with it is very reasonable and very benevolent, and even gives enough choice.

Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Then you and I will live in Oak Castle for the past few days, and be familiar with our living habits here, I have a lot of things I want to know." ”

"Yes." Stella accepted the arrangement, "I'm more than happy to. ”

Lawrence smiled: "Don't be so inhibited, life here is comfortable and easy, I think after you experience our life here, it is easier to understand what kind of life those powerful elves want." ”

Stella pondered Lawrence's words, and quickly asked, "Just like the previous few times, the Queen and Lord Dana, powerful wise men, like to enjoy extravagance and waste, eating food worth hundreds of pounds of wheat in one meal?" ”

"Actually, it's more." Lawrence counted the price of cheap wheat and aristocratic food, and said quickly: "But I think their efforts are worthy of the treatment I have given them." ”

"Dana, for example, spread the knowledge of witchcraft in the Holy Virgin Academy, which has made our transcendent system more perfect, and has also made my students and warriors no longer rely on guesswork for witchcraft."

"In the battle with the Church of Dawn, this knowledge played a significant role."

"Whether it's botany, the control and discovery of the power of the bloodline, or the popularization of elven and magical words, Dana has contributed to achievements that others can't match."

"The value she created has improved my education, agriculture, military and science and technology here."

"Elves like Dahir and Shuda also have a lot of room for development here, Shuda provided me with a lot of medicinal crops and vegetables, and Dahir helped solve the mountain tunnel that hundreds of people couldn't finish."

"Do you think they eat too much and waste, because the Green Forest Kingdom gives too little, although the number of elves there is small, but many of them have extremely excellent abilities, do you want them to use this ability to create space for more people to survive and develop, or do you want them to use it in the slaughter of the weak?"

"Of course, there is a third option, that is, as in the past, according to the queen's arrangement, these excellent elves are trapped in the forest, so that they will not know their worth for the rest of their lives, and they will not know how good they are."

Stella frowned and wondered, "But...... The reason why we in the Green Forest Kingdom do not leave the forest is ...... He was killed a lot by the Holy Light Church before, and finally had to hide in the forest. ”

Stella explained, "We elves, and some of the wizard tribes, were attacked by the clergy of the Church, and it wasn't until many years ago that the clergy found that the flat land was better for growing wheat and stopped setting foot in the forest. ”

Lawrence was stuck, and Dana didn't say anything about it.

In this era, the level of technology is limited, and both humans and the church have large swamps that have not been developed, so there is no need to go to the barren forests to compete with the elves for territory.

The land of the elves is actually not fertile, the areas bordering the Kogiac kingdom and the elves are all mountainous and hilly areas, and even the ports and fields that were given to the country of stars back then belong to what they consider to be barren lands.

When there is enough land, there is a lot less desire to attack outside, and the overall strength of the elven race is indeed not weak, but it will not be stronger than the Io Kingdom, the Gran Kingdom and the Dawn Church......

It may not even be as good as the current Hokuriku Three Kingdoms.

It's a shame...... Lawrence quickly remedied: "No matter what the queen does, no matter what she thinks, in fact, the current things have little to do with her, but as the queen, she must be responsible." ”

Lawrence decisively appointed the queen to take the blame.

Stella nodded, remembering the elf who went out to kill people for the sake of eating meat and drinking.

"You're right, the queen did something wrong." This must be the Queen's responsibility.

Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, didn't want to talk about this kind of right and wrong anymore, and quickly changed to a more casual question.

"Do you have a good relationship with Dana?" (End of chapter)
