Chapter 111: Benevolence

The next day, Lawrence, who had rested, took Stella, Dana, and Catherine to Ironforge.

"I'll go talk to the blacksmiths about weapons and farming tools, and you can wait here, go in and sit down or walk around."

Lawrence knew there was nothing to see in Ironforge, so he told Dana and the others to wait outside.

Stella offered to propose, "I want to go to the church and tell the people here why they want to conquer the Green Forest Kingdom this year!" ”

Lawrence showed an appreciative gaze, and couldn't help but cheer for this female elf with a great sense of justice, "Good! ”

Stella soon goes to the manor's church, wanting more people to know what she wants for the elves and humans!

Dana and Catherine followed, they really weren't interested in Ironforge and didn't want to go into a sweltering cave full of hot air and stench.

Lawrence walked into the cave, and the temperature inside the Ironforge Fort was kept in an unpleasant environment because of the constant iron furnace all year round.

Just because a worker can tolerate this temperature does not mean that he likes it, just like an old farmer in the field does not like to be exposed to the sun all the time.

"Prophet!"

The overseer's foreman saw Lawrence coming in and quickly said hello.

Lawrence nodded slightly in response and continued to walk forward.

There are not many people greeting you, this is not the outside, and it is easy to have problems if you are slightly distracted, so you don't need to bow here, just focus on doing your own thing.

Many rooms have been dug out of the cave, and the tunnels have begun to be stabilized with stakes and stones, and the current ironforge fort has gradually begun to improve the deficiencies of the previous stage, and all aspects are trying to improve the development.

Lawrence quickly found Quirre and consulted with Quirrel and a dozen other skilled foremen about the various iron tools that the lumberjacks needed.

"In addition to axes and saw blades, there are also tools such as machetes and sickles, and I will buy the carpenter's tools from the Kocako Kingdom, which will save us a lot of work here."

Because of the relationship that he often visits, Lawrence is well aware of the production capacity here, and will not plan impossible tasks for Ironforge Castle.

"I often go to the iron mines down the hill," Quirre suggested, "where furnaces and blacksmiths can produce sickles and hoes and hammers. ”

Lawrence has rarely been to Sariel's hometown in years, "How long can the minerals be mined there?" ”

"I guess it can be used for more than ten years." Quirre said a conservative number.

"Then leave the production of scythes below, and continue to produce agricultural tools in several areas of Pumisius and Dum Port and South Town, which I have already instructed on the side of Vakiri, to continue to produce weapons for war."

"I've heard from Gliss that the foresters can also make farming tools and weapons. ”

"It's not easy to transport." Lawrence knew this, and also allowed Grace and the old knight Turaka to produce iron weapons there, "The weapons of the Ferry Harbor can be sold directly to the sea merchants of the world, and the weapons of the Cold Harbor can also be transported directly to the various ports. ”

"If you want to produce weapons and farm tools from the south, you need vehicles to transport them."

"This time, the Flying Fish Harbor also needs a lot of wooden carts to transport wood and twigs for fuel, as well as all kinds of tools and eating guys."

"On the iron-striking side, you can use a waterwheel steam engine to make the fire burn more vigorously, and the wooden wheels can only be made little by little, and transportation is also a troublesome matter."

"I intend for the lumbermillers to set up their own trading posts and production fairs on the outskirts of the forest, where they can make all kinds of vehicles and agricultural implements from the cut wood, so that the loggers can use the wood for their wages and the craftsmen can sell the purchased wood for a profit."

"The focus is still on the conquest of the forest, followed by the fact that whatever difficulties are to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water, rely on the forest to obtain wealth from the forest, and reduce our logistics and transportation costs."

Quirre placed his hands on the table, "Great Prophet, your wisdom is as thick as the mountains! ”

Lawrence smiled, accustomed to this compliment.

Pretty much the other thing said, Lawrence looked at the bearded dwarf who didn't look much different from before.

"Quirre, you've been here for almost ten years, I know you're married here and have a woman, but you haven't asked about your family, have your children gone to church to study?"

"Go all...... There was a child who didn't go. Quiret didn't want to say something, but he was careful to tell the truth.

Lawrence proposed: "Let the children go to church and learn, even if they inherit your blacksmithing skills in the future, learn more basics, and when there is hope, the work will be motivated, and the children need to make more friends." ”

"Yes, Prophet ......" Quirre believed that it was the will of the Prophet and that there was no possibility of refusal.

Lawrence quickly left Ironforge to see Tempest, and then took Tempest to Orange Town to play with Hall and Doug and ask about the Boar Rider.

When she returned in the evening, she found Stella chatting with a group of children.

The children all knew Lawrence, and when they saw Lawrence come in, they quickly knelt down and said hello loudly.

"Hello Prophet~!"

The children's voices were soft, long, and unanimous words filled with joy and excitement.

Lawrence took a look, and soon spotted an anomaly among the healthy and lively children who were tanned or often running around the fields.

It was an ugly child who looked like a human old witch.

Although she was really ugly, Lawrence quickly noticed her expectant and inferior dodgy looks.

Lawrence was indeed initially shocked by the child's ugly appearance, but as a prophet, Lawrence always believed that he should maintain a positive attitude towards these children.

"I'm glad you can learn here, I've made the broth in the kitchen, now let's go home and wash our hands and prepare a meal with the adults."

"Thank you, Prophet!" The children thanked happily, they did not have a clear sense of master and servant, but simply happy because they had meat to eat.

Even here at Ironforge, it's not easy for the little ones to want meat.

The adults who worked in the ironforge could have meat to eat and drink every day, but this was a working male laborer.

Women and children do not share this reward, and meat and wine are enjoyed alone by those who work hard, so that they have the strength to work all the time.

If there are many children in the family, it will be even more difficult to eat meat, so I can only count on the church to give some charity.

The children began to walk out, and Lawrence looked at the last little girl to leave, smiling at her.

Tarsna quickly crouched down at Lawrence and left excitedly.

After the children left, Lawrence looked at Stella, "Whose child is that child?" How come I haven't seen it before? ”

Stella shook her head, "I don't know, she was very interested in what I said, and kept asking me questions, although I really didn't want to see her at first, but after a few words, I felt that the kid needed help." ”

Lawrence nodded, "It is really needed, the evaluation of others can easily lead to problems with their own cognition, I will talk to the nuns here, and take a little care of her in the future, this is the kindness that nuns should have." ”

Dana said inappropriately: "Only you have it, and more people have it because you have it." (End of chapter)
