The long winter has just arrived, and most people have begun to prepare for the eternal night.

Some people went to the forest area to make a pilgrimage, and some people were busy making new clothes.

Ulla, the taverness, led a cart of clothes to the monastery.

On the way, he met Rao, the consul who was on patrol.

Rao rode up and said, "Ulla, I will send you to the convent, is this a winter coat for the nuns?" ”

Ulla sat on the sheep cart and smiled as she looked at the enthusiastic Rao.

"Yes, this year the Prophet ordered a large amount of wool from Glan and Hasenley, and last year there was not enough wool, and this year it will certainly be enough."

Rao laughed when he heard this: "I know more about this from the docks, but you don't know for sure." ”

Ulla was curious: "Why is it not allowed?" ”

Rao didn't mean to keep it a secret and began to show off what he knew.

"More children were born this year than last year, more cloth was used, sheep outside were not born as quickly as people, and many people still had to use linen instead of wool cloth this year."

When Ullah heard this, he quickly said, "This is also a normal thing, we didn't know what fur and straw cloth were, and thanks to the merciful prophet, we were allowed to wear heavy sweaters. ”

"Yes, thanks be to the merciful prophet." Rao thanked him and quickly added, "Didn't you get invited to the castle this year?" ”

Ulla was a little embarrassed, "No, the tavern is the busiest at this time, every year, and I am very grateful that the Prophet can let me manage the tavern, even in the tavern, I pray for the Prophet in my room every winter night. ”

Rao quickly said, "That's right, the tavern is busy!" ”

After a few seconds of silence, Rao got off the sheep's back and led it closer to Ula.

"Ulla, I heard that this year the castle is going to recruit a group of maids to work in the new castle in the mountains, has His Majesty the Prophet purchased slaves?"

Ulla was slightly relieved when she heard that this was the kind of thing, and thought that this man was going to do something.

Although his material life is much richer now, and Rao is also a powerful man, Ulla has met many men and has no expectations for men.

For the future of retirement, Ulla has always preferred to go to the convent rather than find a man who drinks and beats women to continue to work for them and do housework to raise their children.

Working for the monastery had always been something Ulla had done on her own, and Lawrence had to ask Ulla to run a good tavern.

Helping the convent is a spiritual dedication to Ulla, who has no children, and she feels more grounded when she does these things, after all, this is where she will live in the future.

"I don't know about this, the Prophet didn't ask for this." Ula shook her head and said to Rao, "If you have something, just tell me directly, I still have to meet with Lord Boer." ”

Rao looked around embarrassedly, and the soldiers who followed Rao were a little more amused.

Even young people with unclear brains were pulled away by the rest.

After being free of his men, Rao whispered his problem.

"My daughter Dora came back yesterday and told me that Mistress Saril had spoken to her, saying that she was old and that she would work in the castle here at Ferry Harbor for another two years, and then go out and get married."

Ulla understood Rao's thoughts.

"There are enough maids in Oak Castle, and Dora is in her twenties, not like Emma and Bull, and now that Brielil and Navia are married and have children, Dora will be normal when the time comes."

This kind of thing is a troublesome thing for her, and she talks intermittently to shirk it.

Rao didn't realize the problem of this incoherent discourse, and continued to say worriedly: "I don't have any other daughters, and we don't have any particularly beautiful and sensible children here, and I'm worried that after Dora returns, our part of us will lose some of our glory." ”

Dora just doesn't have a strong presence in Oak Castle and is not valued by the hostesses.

On the side of the Water Man, Dora is a better woman than Salil and Sophia Catherine, a professional maid who accompanies His Majesty the Prophet.

Ulla simply listened to his sorrow and could not offer anything.

Rao quickly escorted Ulla and the sheep cart to the monastery gates, and then continued to patrol the coast with his men.

If Lawrence had known about Rao's approach, he would have been amazed at Rao's wisdom.

Dora's experience is not only Dora's own problem, but also the problem of the water people.

If the group of water people is good enough, then even if Dora is in her twenties, Lawrence will still keep her as a maid in the castle.

On the one hand, these maids and nuns will support the mother's family behind them, and on the other hand, the maids and nuns will also be influenced by the mother's family behind them.

Sometimes it's not just the mother's family, it's also the forces.

The people of Vakiri were very important to Lawrence, and the countess was not too young to make an annual pilgrimage to the castle.

The people of Phumesius were themselves Lawrence's direct forces, including Ferry Harbor, a city that was always controlled by Lawrence, so Lawrence didn't consider the idea of the Water Man.

Rao and the others were only the rulers of a single department in Ferry Harbor, and Lawrence, who ran to Ferry Harbor every once in a while, was actually more familiar with things here than they did.

Heidi, the replicator of the steam engine, also has a group of forces that she has forgotten, and even though her group of knights have not been in contact with Heidi for many years, Lawrence has also given Heidi some extra opportunities as the abilities of Dalaos and others have been exerted over the years.

In order to better control the production of iron and grain, the province of Io, which has a large plain area, Lawrence invited the Avenla sisters of the snake family and Dalianne of the fish family this time, in fact, it is also to find and support some capable people.

After all, Lawrence had a desperate attitude towards these people in the past few years, and now he says that these people are welcome to work for him, and these people are like rats who can't hide.

There was a woman of the same blood as them who was valued here in Lawrence, and in fact the wizards and nobles outside would be more convinced of the sincerity here.

The influence of the Durella people has calmed down a lot in recent years with the retirement of the two nuns and the collapse of the kingdom of Durella, which was once powerful in the eyes of the Ice Lands.

The strong are the trendsetters of the times, but when the great river goes east, the hundred rivers will eventually go to the sea.

Whether a man or a woman, a powerful individual can indeed influence the reputation and treatment of a nation.

At present, the most likely to be promoted to a saint under the eight saints is Heidi, as long as there are no magicians like Bull and Hela, Heidi will definitely be promoted to the ninth saint of the country of stars if she has performed well in the past two years!

At that time, not only Heidi's own honorary status, but also knights and nobles such as Dalaos will be valued, and even merchants and adventurers in Heidi's homeland will also be given preferential treatment. (End of chapter)
