Chapter 117: Barbarians, Barbarian Culture

Humans and elves rode domese sheep and avian lizards and looked out at the elven court in front of them in a canyon of flowing water and rocks.

Towering trees rise from the ground, their wild, steely branches intertwined to form a giant nest of trees.

In front of such a massive structure, elves and humans alike have become despised alike.

"Alondo, it's time to go."

The voice of a human came from the front, and the procession, which had been silent for a long time, began to flow slowly, and the pilgrimage procession of hundreds of knights continued forward.

Alondo and the rest of the elves also withdrew their gaze from the Elven Court and turned to move forward.

They were just passing through here, and the Prophet had sent down an oracle that would be conquered by him personally.

Alondo couldn't think of what it would take to conquer this terrifying forest, or how powerful the prophet was.

No elf would doubt the strength of that prophet.

Just because the elves can't destroy this place doesn't mean the prophet can't do it.

Perhaps only the prophet of the stars, who could summon the stone giants and conquer the mountains and seas, could conquer this place.

Just as he knew in advance what was going on here, so that their useless elves could be over.

The Elven Court's last means of protection brought out Lawrence's strength, and also made the Elven wizards realize that they had always been so weak.

The wizards, who were not very communicative, were quieter along the way, no longer treating their weaker counterparts as their own race in their killings, and were physically and culturally different from the barbarians around them.

They seem to be out of place, unable to form trust with each other, and have no basis for trust and cooperation.

Barbarians can drink wine and eat meat with each other, and talk to each other through bragging, women, etc.

Wizards can't do it, most of them don't like to communicate, whether it's wizards or witches, they lack the idea of communication.

Even when I drink wine and eat meat, I like to enjoy it alone, I don't like people around me to get in the way, and I care a lot about some offensive behaviors of others.

These wizards were able to unite and fight together, mainly because of pressure, and then after uniting under pressure, they found that it was okay, so they continued to maintain this system.

But even Alondo couldn't get the rest of the wizards to do dangerous things, and it was even harder to get them to do things they didn't think they could.

Wizards are not soldiers, they don't follow orders they feel are unreasonable, they always take themselves seriously, they don't die for others, and they don't care about any affection or partner.

They are very not easy to be seduced, they will not be encouraged by a few words to do risky things, once there is no strong restraint and remembrance, they will quickly return to their original individual life.

Now they can be gathered, the main thing is that someone provides them with food and drink, and they are not allowed to work at ordinary times, except that they cannot harm the humans who have not provoked them, and the rest of the requirements are basically non-existent, and they will not interfere with their normal entry and exit from the city.

Then there is the loot that can be exchanged for what you need, whether it is extra wine, candy and what you want.

After all, it is a group of wizards who voluntarily surrendered, and the most important thing is, of course, the strength of the Star Legion, and Lawrence, the supposedly very powerful Star Prophet.

After five or six days of walking on the improvised path, the wizarding group and the barbarians soon encountered the elven team who were building the road.

Stella saw these humans holding the banner of the Kingdom of Stars, jumping down from the giant tree, putting one hand on the long sword at her waist, and walking quietly over.

She wore a long turquoise snakeskin dress today, a pair of tight snakeskin trousers underneath, and a pair of brown leather boots that reached to the knees.

The boots are inclined at the entrance, so that the front of the boots can cover the knees after wearing them, and the slightly less leather in the back will not hinder the bending of the legs, and will not affect the physical sensation of walking and running.

The dress split under the strap with a sword hanging in the middle, and the angle of the split allows the legs to move and run without being restricted by the skirt.

The skirt is protected by delicate wire soft armor, including the arms, buttocks, front of private parts, and abdomen, all protected by precious soft armor hidden in the snakeskin skirt.

There are also crotch cloths and knight masks as decorations, as well as elite ornichmons trained as mounts.

Lawrence actually has a few particularly powerful avian lizards, which are not Lawrence's own abilities, they are Catherine's usual trained pets.

One of Catherine's abilities is riding, and she is often the one who is ridden by Lawrence's side, but she was told about her abilities from the time she joined, and Lawrence also knew that Catherine was good at domesticating mounts.

This domesticated elite avian lizard is very rare, as it requires Catherine to discipline herself, and Catherine is often with Lawrence or enjoying her own life.

As Lawrence's woman, Catherine, like the rest of the women, doesn't need to be so busy, and she doesn't need to be as busy as she is working.

Stella was able to obtain this very small number of elite avian lizards because of her good relationship with Lawrence, and now she left Lawrence to lead a group of elves to establish a village on her own.

The rest, including Heidi and others, didn't ask Lawrence to ask Catherine for a gift from an elite bird lizard.

Stella returned to the vicinity of the rest of the elves and humans.

"Leader, it's the troops of the Star Legion, what should we do?"

A female elf quickly accosted Stella.

"Leave it alone." Stella said calmly: "Just let them pass, we don't have enough food here for them to eat, and if they continue to walk, they will soon encounter the logistics team transporting food." ”

Karak nodded, and stood on either side with the rest of the group as the army passed.

The people of the Star Legion already knew in advance that there was a village here, and along the way, they also obtained the situation of the front and rear roads when they received supplies.

A few days after these people passed quietly through the village where elves and humans lived together, Lawrence, who was receiving envoys from various countries in Oak City, also heard his men's report at the banquet.

"It will probably take a few more days, I will go back tomorrow, you go back and prepare first."

Lawrence told the soldier to go back first, and he would return to Fort Snow Mountain before this soldier.

After the soldiers had gone down, Lawrence said to the kings around him, "I will return to-morrow, and I will be back in a few days, for there are still two months to go before the long eternal night, and you may continue to enjoy this rare holiday." ”

The nearby nobles and kings also knew what Lawrence had to deal with.

Since the end of the war with the Church, the Frozen Lands have attracted pilgrims from all over the world, and the already thriving towns of Ferry and Bhumixiu have expanded rapidly, with more and more cultural events such as music, painting, and performances.

Of course, there is also a drinking party, and a group of distinguished men and women are indispensable to socialize.

King Ogudin, King of Heisenli, King Signor II of the Kingdom of Hokuriku, and King Sergio of the Kingdom of Kogico, have all been here for more than half a month.

Sergio was curious about the military system on Lawrence's side, "How did the food of the Star Legion get to the front?" ”

Lawrence was not secretive, but was an occasion for the exchange of culture and knowledge, and was quick to explain the logistical arrangements, such as the pilgrimage to the fort from the west through the forests and mountains.

It takes at least ten to fifteen days for the pilgrimage team to reach the Snow Mountain Fort, and it is not a good option to travel in the primeval forest.

At first, the forest stronghold was responsible for transporting food, and then those people ended the mission after encountering the Snow Mountain Fort logistics team coming from the other end, and the people of Snow Mountain Fort sent cavalry back to report the specific number of people and arrival time, and then reclassified the amount of food at each supply point.

The country of stars has long had a logistics system to cooperate with the army, and the delivery time of each material has the requirements of task and completeness, and it will also be used as a merit record, affecting subsequent assessment and promotion.

During this period, many countries and forces were still traditional means of hunting, looting, and local supply.

Soon, the surrounding nobles showed expressions of admiration, and they also deeply felt the huge gap between the two sides.

The more military aristocrats are, the more they understand the strength of the country of stars.

Several kings were people who had led troops to war, so they had a stronger understanding.

Lawrence saw the admiration on these people's expressions, and he also maintained a subtle smile on his face.

The strength of the country of stars is reflected in all aspects, basically the main military and political systems have a core, such as the army pays attention to order, and the politics pays attention to stability.

Promotion in an orderly manner, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and up and down in an orderly manner.

Political stability is mainly reflected in the stability of Pigtrotter City and Wakiri in the east, and the stability of the Covenant countries in the west.

The elves belong to themselves and have nothing to do, they don't want to live a hard life, and they refuse to be honest in the forest, and they always do something out of the ordinary.

The kingdom of Deco, which does not obey Lawrence, and the kingdom of Durella, which does not exist, are alive and well, and Lawrence has no heart to fight these two countries.

Lawrence never interfered in the disputes between the kings and nobles of the Star Alliance countries, and these people could do whatever they wanted, and Lawrence would ask the churches everywhere to send the king's taxes on time every year.

The kings of these countries were followers of the Church of the Stars, and Lawrence was a nominal believer, but Lawrence and them had always been divided.

They were believers when they came to the land of the stars, and they were kings in their own country.

"There shouldn't be much going on next year, and if the churches in the west aren't willing to start a war, then I'll have more time to look around next year."

Lawrence sat on the main seat of the banquet and looked down at King Signor II of the Hokuriku.

"Your Majesty Signer, I plan to visit the Covenant countries in April and May next spring, and you are the first king to visit the Land of Stars, so in order I should visit you first, then His Majesty Augustin, who was a prince at the beginning and is now King of Hasenley."

King Signer showed a look of surprise, quickly stood up and said excitedly: "Yes! Prophet! It is my pleasure! ”

Lawrence raised his hand to sit him down, "I am a prophet in the land of ice, and you are believers in the church, but in your respective countries, you are kings, kings of hundreds of thousands, millions of people, so it should be me to say hello to you first." ”

King Kogiak quickly said, "Wherever we are, we are all faithful believers in the Church of the Stars, and you are our prophet and our respected elders. ”

Lawrence smiled, "The king should have the face of the king, and I am also the king of this land, so when I go to visit you, we are equal." ”

"The Land of Stars is not the Church of the Dawn, nor is it the Church of the Light, and it is arrogant and impertinent to have the king of a kingdom kneel before the Church before his people."

Although many nobles felt unnecessary and willing to behave more religiously, Lawrence still insisted on his own rules, and even when the rest of the nobles were present, he clearly explained the rituals and etiquette at that time to avoid unnecessary extravagance.

After discussing the rules, the banquet was almost over.

Then it was time for the nobles to talk to their acquaintances on their own.

Whether it is a man or a woman, many times they can't restrain their physical desires.

The Church of the Stars strictly prohibits impure relationships between men and women, and requires them to receive blessings in order to get married, but the church has no control over what the married couple talks about with another couple all night.

Everyone is human, what civilized people can play, ancient people can also come up with their brains, in fact, unless it is to add tools and technology, otherwise ancient people will not lag behind modern people in this regard.

Some people are open, some people are conservative, and most of them are quite conservative, because some of the rules of the monastery are clearly written on the bulletin board, and they will not accept those who are not inappropriate.

The oppression of feudal etiquette has always been the helper of chastity, but under liberalism, few beautiful women can maintain their integrity and graduate from high school.

It doesn't matter how the adult nobles play, but these people, out of the interests of their own families, will not involve their children, especially to protect their daughters.

Is there a daughter in the convent, who has a great influence on the family, and at the same time will maintain restraint, after all, this is not a glorious thing.

What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom.

Lawrence is particularly fond of second-hand, and some of the trends will be more serious, and many people will accept and actively try these high-end hobbies.

Lawrence liked clean and pure girls, and if he valued a woman's past, the aristocracy would not be proud to marry a courtesan.

Lawrence does not reject married women with children, but in recent years most of the convents have been clean girls.

Even if there are some female aristocrats who have had a bad reputation before, such as a courtesan like Audrey, it does not affect the overall cognition.

Sariel, Catherine, Kassandra, Emerald, Stella are the mainstream impressions around Lawrence.

Women with children, like Emma and Bull, have always maintained a clean life trajectory by Lawrence's side.

Hela also maintained her fanatical belief in Lawrence after joining, and because she herself did not dedicate her most complete body to Lawrence, she has emphasized this kind of thing throughout her years in the Cathedral and Monastery of St. Lawrence in Flying Fish Harbor.

Unless it is particularly useful, it is a veto on such matters.

There are actually a lot of mature women like Keharan in Oak Castle, but everyone knows very well that this is a conquest, not a traditional marriage discussion.

If you want to join the convent normally, enter the Holy Women's College normally, want to be valued by Lawrence, and be responsible for your own body outside of your ability, don't give it to anyone outside Lawrence.

Lawrence can easily influence the atmosphere of society, in addition to "chastity", "filial piety" is also an important part.

Without filial piety, the next generation will not be responsible for the previous generation, will not shoulder the heavy responsibilities that have been passed down for decades, and will not take care of the family and the future, and will become impulsive and easy to kneel like a witch and witch.

Before the emergence of the feudal dregs of filial piety culture, most people had children just out of nature and enjoyment.

In the special culture of the barbarians, there will be a matter of killing one's father and marrying one's mother.

This kind of is very easy to understand, barbarians beat children when they have nothing to do, and they don't pay attention to chastity etiquette rules, and it is reasonable to pay attention to the big fists, such as Beoff's kind of children who have been beaten since childhood, and they will never endure it when their fists are hard.

On the contrary, the agricultural civilization grew up under the rules, and killing the father and marrying the mother was an evil act that was not tolerated by heaven in any dynasty, and even sometimes the official will promote the filial piety of giving up the young and supporting the elderly.

In the final analysis, poverty is to blame, and Lawrence thinks that if he eats well, he can have a lot less to do, but if some customs do not interfere, it will take a lot of people to die before they can form a mature rule.

New kingdoms and lands, a large number of immigrant populations, and if moral restraint is not established early in this case, all kinds of troubles will arise later.

Lawrence would separate the two children so that they would not influence the power of the state too much.

Because there is no flawless inheritance law throughout history, Lawrence does not think that he is smarter than the rulers of all countries in the world, so the defeated Io and Gran kingdoms have long been ready to divide the feudal feud to the heroes, and keep the core of the ice land by himself.

Even if it is the land on the elf kingdom, Lawrence does not plan to ask for it, and will hand it over to Stella or capable elves to manage in the future.

It doesn't make a difference if you take it or not when you're alive, everyone knows it's Lawrence's territory.

It doesn't matter even more after death, once you accept that your country will eventually become history, you feel that it doesn't matter what will happen in a few hundred years.

The pioneer demonstration point of filial piety culture in this barbaric land is not the warrior family, Lawrence has carefully examined it, similar to the family system of Beoff and the rest of the barbarian children, if it is replaced by Lawrence, Lawrence also wishes that this group of people died early.

After all, he is a pure savage who has really experienced the atmosphere of a barbarian family, Lawrence, who has been beaten a lot, never thinks that he will be filial to those damn bastards, if he wasn't hard enough, how could he let these trash die in the war?

The family atmosphere in the Cold Land could not promote the culture of filial piety, and Lawrence could not order all barbarians not to beat children when they had nothing to do, and to enslave children to do hard work all day long, which was impossible.

The pilot area for filial piety is still the monastery, which is the easiest and most willing to take the initiative to accept the culture of filial piety.

Lawrence was not in a hurry to go back to the Snow Mountain Castle, and every year at the banquet, noblewomen from all over the world would be interested in the monastery and stay in the monastery.

At night, in the bright and spacious living room, with comfortable sofas and beds, Lawrence and the ladies of the abbey sat casually on their stomachs and chatted about various topics.

Signa's queen, Tamar, is a woman in her forties, and after some casual and boring topics, she says what she wants to say.

"Prophet, before you leave, I would like to speak to you about the monastery, I may come here in a few years, and I hope you will allow me to join the monastery and become a nun."

Lawrence understood Tamar's behavior well, Signer II was almost sixty years old, and his daughter was still the wife of King Augustin of Heisenli, and the children of the Augustines were more than seven years old.

Sixty years old is an age of dying in this era, and it is normal for Signer II not to wake up any day.

If Signer II died, there would now be only a five-year-old boy as heir, and it would be easy to run into all sorts of problems.

Tamar was not the child's mother, and in order not to be taken away by Signor II before his death, or to be used as a tool by the rest of the nobles to seize power, she had to find a place to retire in advance.

"Of course, we've known each other for years." Lawrence readily agreed, "But there's one thing I want you to remember before that day comes." ”

"Yes! Prophet! Tamar quickly sat up straight, leaning over Lawrence on the soft bed at a distance of two meters in obedience.

Lawrence said earnestly: "I hope that you will be gentle with the little ones from this day onwards, and be willing to share food and kindness with them, especially to the little nuns of the convent, which is very important." ”

"Every kindness you give, you will reap a kindness when you are old, and I am a witness and an overseer."

Tamar quickly agreed, "Yes, Prophet! I am willing to give my full dowry to the church! ”

Lawrence felt that this was enough, and that vested interests would promote the building of a social ethos.

Since ancient times, filial piety has been something that has been vigorously advocated by the high-level, and the bottom has paid more attention to the law of the jungle, and the fist is the big truth.

Male witches and witches don't pay attention to this, if they are physically mature when they are young, they will definitely slaughter the old father and mother who bullied them first!

Lawrence had never seen a dutiful witch or witch so far.

Delenn and Loshanda get along normally because Loshanda's strength is strong enough, one is the leader and the other is the prophet, and the relationship between the two sides is not so oppressive.

Later, because of Lawrence's relationship, the two also maintained a state of cooperation, and filial piety was not touched.

Saliel is not so much filial piety as only Andrew is such a backer, and after getting to know Sophia and Lawrence, she quickly doesn't care.

Lawrence didn't think he could change the indifference in his blood, so even if he was advocating some filial piety in words and deeds, in fact the idea of driving his two sons out never wavered! (End of chapter)
