In winter, the river became bitterly cold, and Lawrence led the men to build dams in the dry valleys.

"Get things done while there is little water in winter, otherwise you will have to wait another year for the snow on the snowy mountains in winter."

"Yes! Prophet! ”

Lawrence pushes a boulder from the erected slab to the end of the polished stone path.

The stone slabs beneath his feet were made up of stones, and when Lawrence pushed the boulder to the outermost level, the path grew another one and a half meters.

Lawrence quickly walked towards the end of the line, and when he saw that the stones he was carrying for today were almost gone, he walked to the other side.

Workers continue to build dams in the valley, which is flanked on either side by a gently sloping slope that looks like an open trapezoidal structure.

The river valley is 4,000 meters away from the Snow Mountain Castle, which belongs to another river spur, and is far away from the waterfall city, so it does not interfere with each other.

The valley is only half-filled in the summer, and most of the time it is barren due to the topography and precipitation, and the slopes on both sides are mostly gravel and sandy.

Lawrence climbed the ladder and came to the high bridge 100 meters above.

There are a lot of workers working here, mainly to set up a guard water level observation point, but also to guard and patrol the role.

Delenn and Dahir are here to help, and Delenn sees Lawrence coming up and walks over.

"Prophet, just now the people from Snow Mountain Fort came to spread the word that there is a big storm in the cold land this year, and the aquatic grass seeds and rice seeds will not be transported until next year, and they may not be able to catch up with next year's spring ploughing."

"It's okay, it can be transported from the Flying Fish Harbor, the ice storm can still have a big impact on us now, wait for it to pass by itself."

Lawrence turned to look down at the wide river below, which would be the land of fish and rice in the future.

The soil here is barren and vegetation is scarce, and the streams in the mountains wash away the nutrients that the land has managed to accumulate over and over again.

However, after the dam is built, there will be a period of sedimentation time, which is enough to retain some of the material accumulation, and when the water is released, it will not affect the operation of the ecology.

The seeds of aquatic plants are algae plants suitable for photosynthesis, and although there has been no exploration of this snowy plateau in the past two years, there are some things involved in growing ice soybeans and road transportation.

Orange Town, in particular, is home to a large number of swamp plants, and the witch swamps downstream also have a large number of aquatic crop seeds.

It's easy to find plants that work from these natural treasures, and some can be used with a little improvement.

With aquatic crops, fish can also grow quickly by clinging to aquatic plants, where the sun is abundant, the temperature is not low, and the water is abundant.

After a busy day, Lawrence returned home with a large group and returned to the lively Snow Mountain Fort.

The construction team of Snow Mountain Fort also ended, and a large number of workers are still busy with the construction of Snow Mountain Fort, which is currently less than a third of the way completed.

Churches, gardens, squares, warehouses, livestock sheds, wells, mills, boiler rooms, etc., are not perfect, especially churches that need to be built in a focused manner, and can no longer be handled by building a house as casually as before.

The heating facilities in Snow Mountain Fort are not yet perfect, and for many people, it may be colder than Oak City, and it is still cold to cover two more quilts, or wear several extra clothes.

When Lawrence returned home, he continued to design the composition of the fishery, and some of the things involved could reveal more problems, and the likes of Delenn and Heidi were able to provide all kinds of useful advice.

Sophia and the rest of the maids who are not at work will not be idle, they will be busy pleasing Lawrence at their feet while Lawrence reads and writes.

Working hard, relaxing and enjoying a comfortable life, this is what Lawrence has always been pursuing.

Whether it was the confrontation with the Church of Light or the war with the elves, Lawrence was like a summer vacation homework, dragging it back.

While Lawrence enjoyed the life of many prostrate elves serving in front of him, there were many more elves annoyed that they couldn't kneel!

In a quiet village on the outskirts of the Great Forest, several elves confronted the big-breasted elves sitting in front of the fire.

"Stella, we don't have enough food to eat, and we don't have enough clothes to hide from the winter, so why can't we go to the castle and stay in the castle?"

Some of the nearby elves sat on the fallen wood near the fire, some stood quietly in the distance against the tree, and some sat directly on the ground and watched this side.

It was full of elves, mostly young elves and elven women with children.

Faced with the pressure of a group of elves, Stella continued to bake her branch with bread hanging from the flame, and slowly raised her head to look at the elves opposite.

The elf on the opposite side was a cold and noble elf big sister, who looked like she was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and had a stronger aristocratic femininity than Kassandra, and was more mature.

Stella's indifference did not make the elf fearful.

"Stella! We did not choose to surrender in order to continue to live this hard life! ”

The female elf scolded Stella harshly, and waved away with an angry hand!

The bread in Stella's hand shattered silently into many pieces as if it were split!

Broken branches and bread fell into the flames.

Stella frowned, looking at the angry elf and then at her clean, fair palm.

"Dev Chrissy, we are elves, why do we live in human cities and cling to humans?"

Stella looked at this female elf, Devrichris had noble blood, and also had strength comparable to many male witches.

When Dev Chrissy was taken prisoner by Alondo's forces, she surrendered like many elves after seeing them killed.

From Auroville to Flying Fish Harbor, then to Oak City, to Snowy Castle, and then to Stella.

Stella originally thought that after this powerful noble elf came, she could give her the position of leader, and she would lead the elves in the village to build their homes.

But now Stella realizes that she has made mistakes again and again.

At first, he had expectations for the queen, and then he had expectations for the queen's daughter, and they all told Lawrence that they would no longer expect from them, but after Devricria came over, he subconsciously felt that this kind of noble blood elf was more suitable for being a leader than himself.

But the reality is so cruel.

Stella finds out that Lawrence is right, if you don't take the power into your own hands, then something terrible will happen when the power is in the hands of a fool.

There is also the so-called bloodline and ability, which has nothing to do with actual leadership ability, and I should not still have the psychology of always feeling inferior to other elves.

Seeing that Stella was finally willing to speak, Devric Chrissy asked, "We have already surrendered and chosen to join the Land of Stars, why can't we live in the castle of the prophet Lawrence?" ”

"You have the children of a prophet, but what about us?" Dev Chrissy looked at Stella frantically, "My child is dead!" I want children too! It's not like you're living here for the rest of your life! ”

Stella felt that this Dev Chrissy was now dangerous, and that she was already a mortal threat to herself and the rest of the elves.

If you want to control this powerful female elf here, it may take the lives of several elves.

Stella also knew that the elves here would not be as fierce as the barbarians, and no elves would be willing to sacrifice themselves to block Devhris, so the losses would be great at that time.

If you really anger and can't control this female elf, maybe the village that you have built for more than half a year will be gone all of a sudden......

Stella suddenly felt bored...... His own hard work and dedication suddenly became cheap in front of Lawrence and his castle.

The elves who have seen the life of the nobles of the Snow Mountain Castle and the Star Nation are a group of people who have lost their homes.

They just want to fit in with the snow mountain fort now, and they don't want to start building their homes again.

Maybe in the future, after the elf village is built, they will come over to see and provide some help, but now who makes them forcibly stay in this primeval forest that is dark at night and eat steamed bread, they will really resent!

"Okay." Stella sighed, "We'll go back after dawn and spend the winter in Snow Mountain Castle this year." ”

After Stella made a decision, the surrounding female elves breathed a sigh of relief, and even Devricrice, who was about to go crazy, was stunned for a moment and quickly calmed down.

"Then let's go get ready." Devrichris spoke quickly, and walked to her cabin.

The rest of the elves did not waste any more time, and began to say goodbye to the humble dwelling where they had lived for months.

Stella sat alone in front of the fire and thought about things, and soon several fires were lit in the village, and the hens that had been used as laying hens were quickly slaughtered by the elves, even the sheep that were used for milk and wool were not spared.

Stella sighed, feeling cold.

If you keep going, you feel like you're going to be killed by other elves......

Without the Queen's bloodline suppression ability, it is undoubtedly a dangerous challenge to control such a group of elves to live an honest and hard life in the forest.

Stella pondered the reasons for her failure.

One is that the strength is not enough, in the past, I was able to build a village with a group of lonely elves and half-elves because my strength was okay, and then there was the help of humans arranged by Lawrence at that time.

Later, she felt that it was a little bad to always rely on the help of humans, and with the addition of powerful elves like Devricris, Stella herself chose to let those humans leave here.

Then this kind of thing happened, and Stella's own strength and prestige couldn't suppress those elves at all.

The second is that these elves have all experienced the material life of the country of stars, and there are elves such as Dana doing things by Lawrence's side, and there are descendants of the queen like Rastana who serve Lawrence as slave girls.

In addition, he is also close to Lawrence and has his children, so Dev Chrissy thinks that Lawrence is not an enemy, but a stronger person who is more worthy of refuge than the queen.

After a night of silence, Stella could feel all kinds of eyes from the village, those elves were like wolves feeding in the dark, eating the chickens and sheep that had protected and cared for them for months, while looking indifferently at her, the elf who was in the way.

Stella understands that it's not just Devricles who is in trouble, but all the elves in the village who have become demons like Devflice.

His own education and guidance made them completely stand on their opposite.

All the elves in this village have joined Dev Chrissy's side and want to go to Snow Mountain Castle!

After dawn, Stella stood up and said, "Let's go!" Go to Snow Mountain Fort to eat, sleep and take a bath! ”

Stella quickly rode out on the elite avianlizard, without looking back at the elves.

Ever since Devric Chrissy pressed herself in public yesterday and the rest of the elves didn't say a word, Stella knew that if she continued to press, she would be removed as a stumbling block.

Now it is not killed, the main thing is the child in the womb and Lawrence's deterrence.

For the sake of the child in her belly, Stella decisively made the right choice and did not continue to consume with these elves.

Such an elf is not worth saving.

Snow Mountain Fort

Lawrence quickly took Stella's hand and sat down, knowing the specific situation from Stella's account.

"That's normal, but don't be discouraged, your mistake isn't that you want to build an elven village, it's that you ignore the difference between your ideals and most elven ideals."

Lawrence comforts Stella and tells her what went wrong.

"Most of the elves have just settled down from grief and fear, what they need is not hatred, nor longing for their homeland, to rebuild their homes with anger and hatred, what they need is security and dependence."

"A sense of security can be gained not only from one's own relatives and the upper echelons of the country, but sometimes from the enemy."

"I have allowed them to live, and I have allowed them to live a safe and secure life with me, even if they become slave girls."

"You can't be their support, especially after rejecting the humans I sent to protect you, and most of the supplies I have provided, they naturally feel that you have caused them misfortune."

Stella frowned and thought about Lawrence's words, Lawrence said a lot of things she hadn't thought of, and completed the overall logic of the matter.

Lawrence smiled: "If they can live if they surrender, if they can eat and wear beautiful clothes, and they can live happily, then why don't you let them kneel down and surrender, is it because of your selfishness or pride?" ”

"No matter what you think, if you keep going, as you think, there are definitely more than a few elves who want to kill you."

Stella sighed, "Is the matter of the elven village ever impossible?" I still want to build a village dominated by elves. ”

"Let's give birth to the child first, maybe this child will be the key." Lawrence stroked Stella's hair, "I need all kinds of talents now, since the elves are willing to work for me, then work by my side, so that the Holy Maiden Academy and Snow Mountain Fort can be completed quickly." ”

Stella nodded, leaning into Lawrence's arms, "Okay." ”

Lawrence sensed Stella's depression and comforted: "First enforce justice by my side, after there are more women and female elves around me, all kinds of messy things will start to happen, before the elves stabilize themselves, you will be my guard, responsible for coordinating the problems between the elves and humans." ”

Stella was very interested in this work, "Yes, but I can't control those male elves, only you can take care of them." ”

Lawrence likes Stella's character very much, and Stella will not do anything to die for the sake of justice.

Not only is he very self-aware, but the important thing is not to bully the weak, and he is willing to maintain his own impartiality while having self-knowledge not to cause trouble.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the wizards, you are mainly responsible for female elves and women, and now the capable female elves are basically kneeling beside me, and you naturally have the status to suppress them."

"In your village, you are a pure-blooded female elf with ordinary blood, and you can't suppress a powerful elf like Devricris."

"But here in me, you are my female magistrate, they are just a bunch of lowly slave girls who have just joined, and their minds will suppress their hands and feet, so that they dare not resist you."

Stella looked at Lawrence, "Is this justice?" ”

Lawrence replied: "Justice without the support of law and authority is destined to last for a short time, and you are not strong enough to defend justice with your fists, you must rely on the law." ”

"Let's eat first, after eating, let's study the laws of the country of stars together, I can be much easier with you, Heidi and Sophia will only provide some violent advice in this regard."

Lawrence stood up and led Stella to the table to eat.

Stella was curious, "What are you going to do with Eve Chriss?" ”

"Of course, it's to educate them well in bed, isn't that exactly what they want to live in life?" Lawrence smiled, "I can raise a lot of women and elves here who don't want to work, just want to live a good life, her abilities are of some use to me, and I also sympathize with this mother who has lost her child." ”

Seeing that Lawrence had no intention of punishing and killing these elves, Stella breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, merciful prophet, I respect everyone's choice, and it is our luck to live here. ”

"Not really." Lawrence explained his thoughts, "I don't have a shortage of bed mates and slave girls, it's just that the female elves who rebel against you are capable elves, they are more willing to work for me, and they are more willing to perform, and there is also a female elf who can ripen plants instead of Keharan." ”

"If it weren't for you, I'd definitely stay for myself."

Lawrence doesn't hide his true thoughts.

How strong Kehalan's ability is, anyone who has followed Lawrence for a long time knows.

Everyone knows how important the ability to ripen is to the current Snow Mountain Castle.

Lawrence never wanted the women in his family to be too tired, and as in his early years, he asked everyone to use witchcraft once in a while, and not to abuse it.

After hearing Lawrence's sincere words, Stella also realized that she had indeed taken a group of obedient and capable witches to do things that didn't matter at all.

While blaming himself and being ashamed, he was also very touched by Lawrence's heart.
