Chapter 121: Busy
Two months have passed since Stella returned, and the war between humans and elves has subsided.
The addition of thousands of wizards has made the fortifications of Snow Mountain Fort more than ten times faster.
"But the consumption is also two or three times greater."
Lawrence looked at the list of food and clothing to be provided to each wizard, as well as a list of needs such as shelter and snacks.
These surrendering elves need plenty of rewards to appease.
But the conquest of the forest only brought back the elves, and there were no other possessions or livestock, which could not make up for the year's investment at all.
Rastana sat next to Lawrence and asked with concern, "Can't it go on like this?" ”
Lawrence smiled and looked at the sexy female elf with a slightly bulging belly next to her.
"The country of stars has a rich family and can withstand consumption, and this year the countries have also brought a lot of gifts, and fortunately, there are some elves who don't like to live with me, and I don't need to bear their daily necessities."
There are elves who are willing to submit to the invaders, and there are elves who refuse to serve the invaders after surrendering.
Lawrence respects the elves' opinions and sends them to live in the village that Stella had previously founded.
"When the plateau is developed here next year, and there are more houses and factories, we can exchange the blank paper and goods we sell for more food and clothes."
"The provinces of Io and Gran are now also sending us a steady stream of labor and agricultural products."
"This year is almost over, and next year everything will be better."
Lawrence's words reassured Rathana.
Rastana stroked her belly with one hand, not knowing what she was thinking, with a sweet, happy smile on her face.
Lawrence was thinking about planning things related to the snowy mountains and the windmill and watermill fishing grounds, when he caught a glimpse of Lastana smirking there, and his heart suddenly warmed.
Looking up at the snowflakes outside, I didn't know it was another year.
It's thirteen years since I arrived in the Agama Mountains......
Lawrence looked at Sophia, who was sleeping on the sofa in the distance, and then at Lastana, who was still wandering and smirking, and unconsciously felt sleepy.
"Let's go, go back to sleep in the bedroom."
Lawrence stood up and walked over to the couch and picked up Sophia, who was sleeping.
"Oh! Good! Rastana quickly stood up and followed Lawrence outside.
Before they could reach the door, Kassandra and Catherine walked in from the outside and moved out of the way when they saw Lawrence and Sophia.
Lawrence asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"It's not a big deal." Kassandra accompanied Lawrence on her way out, followed by the dark elves standing guard in the hallway.
Lawrence quickly put down Sophia, who had woken up, and now Sophia was not the little girl she used to be, she was already a mature and plump aristocratic woman, and she didn't need to be carried into the house like a child.
Sophia was a little dissatisfied when she stood on the ground, and after being hit on the ass by Lawrence, she quickly ran to the front with a laugh, writhing and shaking her big ass with a sexy and bewitching pace.
Kassandra went on to talk about things that didn't matter.
"This year, the people of the Forest Tribe found a two-legged wyvern cub while exploring the witch swamp along the glacier, and the two-legged wyvern cub was still alive when the letter was delivered, and it has now been delivered to Oak Castle."
Lawrence quickly got serious.
Dragon!
Even though it's only a two-legged wyvern, this flying aerial beast is a great help to the current Star Country!
Snow Mountain Castle and Oak Castle are both in relatively high geographical areas, which are only suitable for downward transportation, not upward transportation.
At present, it is not impossible to transport, but it is very costly, requiring a large logistics team and a large number of livestock.
Even the delivery of letters and messages is very restricted, and even life-threatening conditions can occur in the winter when the weather is bad.
At present, the main reason for the normal delivery of messages is not that the messengers are hardy, but the main reason is that Dahir and the earth-based wizards have strengthened the roads, dug tunnels in the mountains, and built some roads underground to avoid the interference of wild beasts and the climate.
The mountain tunnels became the best shelters in the cold of winter, storing food, a change of clothes, and fuel, allowing messengers to deliver messages in extreme weather.
Despite this, the traffic problem is still a big problem.
The real place for a large population to gather is still the port of Flying Fish and several coastal areas.
Lawrence had long known about this, and the main reason for the establishment of the Snow Mountain Fort was to control the western region, especially the suppression of the Flying Fish Harbor.
Otherwise, if you are in Oak City all the time, it is easy to lose control of the West.
Violence and military force are more important than the problem of transportation, and it is only now that absolute power has been taken into account.
"When the weather gets better, I'll go over and bring that young dragon to us to raise, and hopefully it's still alive by then."
Catherine said, "You can go now." ”
Lawrence shook his head, "After a while, it's almost eternal night now, and it's not suitable for walking." ”
The Wyvern, while important, is not easy to feed, and Lawrence is reluctant to risk his own woman.
Several people returned to the bedroom, where there were already the rest of the women.
Stella was sitting listening to the song, and in the empty space of the room sat more than a dozen elves and human women, all of whom were musicians from the Snowy Mountain Castle, who were responsible for the musical performances, and who were also good at singing and dancing.
After seeing Lawrence come in, the musicians performed more seriously.
Strings, winds, percussion, and flutes are played on the horizontal flute and recorder, and the songs performed are also forest tunes hummed by the elves themselves.
Stella, like the rest of the elves, loves to listen to this soothing music.
Lawrence likes to listen to music that is a little more intense, or upbeat and sexy.
However, the musicians have a stronger musical sense than Lawrence, and they know how to play warm and cozy music with the snowy night outside.
Sariel was already asleep in bed, she was busy with a lot of things during the day, and she got used to falling asleep after taking a shower at night, and she didn't have so many messy worries.
Delen is still disciplining the two children, and will not come over until the two children have fallen asleep.
Kharan hadn't found her daughter yet, and she didn't really want to find the child, and spent more time training the elves every day, in addition to finishing the work of cultivating crops.
In particular, he is very interested in female elves like Dev Chrissy, and has been helping these female elves to find better employment recently.
Loshanta is still calm and quiet, and in addition to meditating in the house, he will also go to the roof at night to watch the stars and clouds and feel the flow of nature.
This year, both Bull and Hela were busy in their respective monasteries, which also took in elven children and women, as well as honorary noblewomen who were sent to the convent after losing their father in the war.
The three of them were in charge of the affairs of the Holy Virgin Academy, and Dana continued her studies in the Snow Mountain Castle, often running to Lawrence's bedroom in the middle of the night to warm up.
Oloda and the Asabel family are now happily living together, taking care of the castle's most enviable job with elves. (End of chapter)
