Chapter 118: Research
Golden Palace
Many powerhouses in the Kingdom of Stars gathered together, and the aura formed by hundreds of wizards and hundreds of elites of a hundred battles made some ordinary people tremble just by looking at it.
It was like a rabbit seeing a group of tigers in a meeting, and the maids and male guards around them did not dare to make any noise, for fear of attracting the attention of these people.
Lawrence sat on the throne of absolute dominance and watched the crowd that filled the hall.
The originally empty and quiet Golden Palace could not accommodate all the strong people, and some wizards and generals consciously stood outside.
It's not small, it's not cramped.
The opulence of this temple makes people feel ashamed, and makes some elves and wizards who have taken refuge feel like they are country wizards who have never seen the world.
"I already know about it."
Lawrence summed up the past, and the majestic voice gradually echoed in the tall hall.
Long-term training, research and exploration of the power of faith, and mastery of the entire Frozen Lands have given Lawrence a confidence that can be felt by those around him.
This self-confidence made the wizards standing below behave more docilely.
"It is good that you have done my will and made a way for me to the royal court."
Lawrence looked at the elves approvingly, "Although many elves and humans died along the way, all of them were arranged by me, and they were all necessary sacrifices. ”
"There is no need to feel guilty for the lives that died at your hands, nor should you be thrilled to take their lives, you are just fighting for a better tomorrow and moving forward according to my will."
"Today I want to summarize the past merits for you, and also let you say goodbye to the past masters, from the moment you leave this great hall, the merits made on the battlefield will be exchanged for rewards, and the sins and impulses committed on the battlefield will also remain in the past."
"Humans and elves, warriors and wizards, you are all the people of the land of stars."
"This war was started under my guidance, even if it was caused by the provocation of the elven queen, but everything was arranged by me, and the dead warriors and those unfortunate elves were guided by the god of the stars to go to another world to start a new journey of life."
Lawrence appeases both the wizards and his own men.
Like the crying Luke, they all belong to the representatives of killing people to the point that they have problems in their hearts.
They themselves cannot understand this physiological phenomenon and do not understand that it is a mental illness.
Lawrence didn't want them to think they were sick, which would make it more difficult to recover and be looked down upon by the rest of the barbarians.
Murder, whether righteous or evil, can cause psychological problems.
Lawrence has made people focus on music, soothing some of the post-war emotions through the art of entertainment.
But there is another important reason to remove the merits of the wizards.
It's not that these elven wizards have killed more elves and made more contributions, but they let them do this kind of thing, and they did it.
This kind of thing is important.
The elven wizards felt that what Lawrence said was fine, and that they were indeed doing things under Lawrence's command, so they felt that it was right.
The elves who were killed were indeed their means, but this matter had absolutely nothing to do with Lawrence.
The surrounding generals quickly and respectfully: "Yes, merciful prophet, great prophet!" ”
The wizards quietly echoed, learning from the people around them to say a few words.
They were indeed afraid of Lawrence's might and had no desire to resist, but they also lacked loyalty.
Lawrence sat on his throne and looked at the elven wizards below.
"Betrayal comes at a price, and so does loyalty."
"Betrayal will be punished severely, and loyalty will be rewarded."
"I don't require you to be absolutely loyal, and I also respect your own ideas, as long as you don't harm my people in the Cold Land, and don't deliberately sabotage and affect the production and construction of my territory, I don't mind if you live here and occasionally do something in exchange for various rewards."
"You've all done a lot of work this time, Frys, and I have appointed you as the Earl of Auroville, in charge of the territory of Auroville, as well as the lands of the four nearby cities."
Fryce quickly knelt down, "Thank you!" Great Prophet! ”
Lawrence said to Luke: "Luke, I declare you the baron of Southtown, you can take your family to live in Southtown in the future, or you can continue to live in Phumethius like Frys, and let your men manage Southtown." ”
Luke knew that the reward was heavier than he had thought before, and he knelt down and thanked him.
"Yes! Thank you! Great Prophet! ”
Lawrence soon rewarded the various meritorious generals, and promoted Vo's brother Koda to the rank of Lord.
Emma's son um didn't take any credit this time, he was working in the lumberyard and never participated in the battle to kill the enemy, so Lawrence didn't give him any reward.
He wasn't even qualified to stand here, let alone kneel.
After kneeling with more than twenty rewarded men below, Lawrence also rewarded the commander in charge of the logistics, Lid, and his deputy, Puvey.
In addition to logistics, there are messengers who deliver news, priests and nuns who care for the wounded, and elven women who help care for and persuade their fellow people after surrendering.
After spending more than an hour on these trifles, Lawrence looked back at the elven wizards.
"Alondo, you have done a lot of things for me this time, I have prepared money and shelter for you, you can also find a place to live by yourself and tell Lead, I will send you some food, clothing, wine and meat every month in the future, of course you can also refuse, so that it will not bother you again."
"In addition to these, you can all make some reasonable requests, and I am willing to take more care of you obedient elves."
Alondo also learned the rules here, knelt down on one knee and said, "Yes, thank you, merciful prophet!" I am pleased with your reward. ”
Lawrence nodded, "Good." ”
At this time, an elven wizard stood in the line and said, "I have something I want to know. ”
Everyone and the elves quickly looked at the elves who spoke.
The talking elf is an elf who looks to be in his thirties, and it is difficult to tell the specific age of an elf of this age, but it must be a mature, healthy and powerful male witch!
Lawrence looked at the elf, and most elf males were the difference between hairstyle and face shape in Lawrence's eyes.
"You can ask questions, and I will choose whether to answer your questions or not based on your contributions."
Lawrence isn't omniscient, so make a nail in advance to prevent the elves from asking all sorts of weird questions.
"I'm Will Ironblade! This time I've killed the most elves! Will looked at Lawrence, excitedly pleading.
Lawrence said calmly, "Name your problem. ”
Will quickly calmed down, lowered his head a little nervously, and quickly looked at Lawrence again.
"I know from some wizards and humans that it's free to study witchcraft? I hope you will allow me to study witchcraft! ”
Lawrence felt that there might be something wrong with the spirit of this elven wizard.
"In the Land of Ice, the study of supernatural powers is normal, and I allow students to learn and use these supernatural powers, but they must serve the land."
Will wanted more than just the witchcraft in the Holy Virgin Academy, and he said nervously, "I'm going to study it...... Witchcraft of life and death!! ”
After he finished speaking, the barbarians and wizards around him looked at him with some uneasiness.
Even Alondo felt that this wizard had committed a taboo and was likely to be killed.
Lawrence didn't look surprised, and he had vaguely guessed something from the time the wizard wanted to study witchcraft.
"Yes." Lawrence said softly and calmly, "If you can report to me every month what you have done, tell me what you need, and get my permission to continue researching, instead of you acting on your own, I will allow you to study this." ”
Will couldn't have imagined Lawrence to be so easy to talk to, "Really? ”
Lawrence said, "I'll find you an island in the middle of the ocean, where you'll study those dangerous witchcrafts, and let me know if you need anything, and I'll send you food and daily necessities on a regular basis." ”
"My request is very simple, don't hurt the people I arranged, if there is anything, you can go directly to Flying Fish Harbor or Ferry Harbor to find someone to inform me, and I will solve it for you, but if you hurt the people I sent, betray or disobey my orders, I won't be as easy to talk as I am now."
Will quickly knelt down, "Yes!" Merciful Prophet! I will do as you tell me! ”
"I'm even happier if you're willing to share your knowledge, which will make the industry better," Lawrence said. ”
"If your knowledge illuminates the path ahead of others, then more and more people will take that path, and it will make it easier to walk."
Will lowered his head, "I'm willing to do it!" ”
Lawrence looked at the rest, "Research that only brings destruction and misfortune, and my tolerance is limited, but if it leads to all kinds of progress, such as keeping the living alive from disease, then I allow it." ”
"No one wants to die, and everybody has expectations for something healthy and alive, something God doesn't support, doesn't upset the balance between life and death, but doesn't interfere with our own research."
"The harder you work, the easier it will be to discover your own insignificance, and when you step into the stars and the sea, you will understand how big the gap is with God."
There are some things that Lawrence has wanted to do for a long time, and the advancement of medicine is decided to be inseparable from some research that seems evil in the early days.
Anatomy and various surgical procedures require a lot of basic theory and experience to support them, and now a group of people do not even know the structure of the human body, and they are still a few mountains away from medicine.
Will had no more problems, and Lawrence confessed another matter.
"The war is almost over, and I'll take care of the rest personally, so I don't need any of you to do anything to the elves privately."
"Especially those elves who choose peace, if anyone continues the previous acts of war and uses the same methods in the war in the villages and strongholds that have surrendered, then I will hand him over to Will to deal with."
Will looked surprised, and the humans in the Golden Palace looked terrified.
Lawrence said majestically: "For those who go against my will and are disloyal to me, I will strip him of his qualifications to live in this land, and if the circumstances are serious, he will be expelled and let them start over outside the stars." ”
"If the circumstances are bad and cause me to be angry, then leave it to Will to deal with, the price of betrayal is more serious than they imagined!"
The celebration feast soon ended, and a group of meritorious men began to disperse to various places in the Land of Stars.
Some wizards will go to Pigtrotter City to help, some will choose to settle down in the Frozen Lands, and the rest will go to overseas islands to do research, and do some scientific research that cannot be done in the forest.
At this point, it was mostly quiet.
Tired of doing the same thing, Lawrence took his two children and his maids to plow the land in the hills not far from the Snowy Mountain Castle.
The Snow Mountain Fort is a connected building composed of four hills, many of which form a luxurious palace, and this palace continues to be built and increased.
On the second floor, the water flow here is very large, especially in summer, when the water flow is turbulent and the soil cannot be stored.
Stella's elven village is a long way away, and most of the area is swampy except for some forests and land above, which is only suitable for birds.
The Cascade City is located downstream, slightly closer to the forest, and is connected to the same waterfall river as the lake upstream.
Lack of soil trees was not a problem, Lawrence planted aquatic plants suitable for the waters, and also built a water conservancy to enclose a paddy field.
Human droppings and food scraps can easily accumulate in fertile soil, and guano that has been accumulated for centuries can also help agriculture.
Of course, all kinds of materials are brought from the mountains and forests.
Lawrence straightened up from the pea field, the ground beneath his feet cold and bitterly cold, and the smell of rancid fermentation.
A hundred meters away, two little ones were playing with the little Dom sheep, and were chased by the stupid little sheep and hit their butts.
Lawrence didn't say anything when he saw the children who didn't work, and the women and children in the house didn't like to work, as it had never been.
Lawrence also doesn't let Sophia and Heidi follow them, these women will only get in the way.
Doing farm work is one of the ways Lawrence improves himself, so he doesn't need help from others.
After finishing his farm work, Lawrence washed his hands and feet in a nearby clean stream and returned home with his tired children.
Life was calm again, there was no war to deal with, and there was no Church and Covenant to keep busy.
Sariel was the first to feel the change.
"Lawrence, why have we been feeling idle lately?"
"Because the other side of the Agama Mountains has entered eternal night."
"Oh......"
The long eternal night is already a recognized holiday.
Sariel thought for a moment, "It's so boring, I haven't had anything to do lately." ”
Heidi and Sophia have solved most of the things that Saliel has to do, plus there are a lot of beautiful elves in the castle who don't want to live in the forest recently, so Saliel's work is getting less and less.
Lawrence also found it too boring to go on like this, "You teach two little ones arithmetic and physics. ”
Sariel nodded, "What about you?" ”
"There are so few wizards that the next generation may not even have a tenth of what it is now." Lawrence sighed, "I've got to work hard." (End of chapter)
