Chapter 4: Benevolence and Sincerity

King Sighna and Queen of the Hokuriku Kingdom, as well as many royal nobles, came to the seaside.

I saw Lawrence's invincible army and invincible warship, as well as the corpse of the terrifying sea dragon as huge as a palace.

Signer quickly prepares a welcome banquet for Lawrence.

"Great Prophet, I have spent a spring packing up the best palace here to entertain you, and forgive me for my incompetence, my lazy men are unable to build a magnificent palace worthy of your identity in a spring."

Lawrence sat at the bustling banquet table, with Kassandra and Arvenla standing behind him, and nearby stood the elf Alondo, who also led the wizard, and Luke, Beoff, Korda, and other young men who led the barbarian army.

"It's normal, and I know very well that not everywhere is as rich as the land of ice, and not all people are as industrious as the people there."

"But believe me, even in the land of ice, it is never possible to build a beautiful palace in the spring."

Lawrence laughs: "I once spent more than a month building a stone house, which was like a stone house for raising sheep, it was pitiful, and then I personally pushed it to rebuild a new home." ”

"A good house needs time to be built slowly, some of my castles have taken two or three years, and some have been building and improving for two or three years, you don't need to feel guilty about this, you can prepare a place for me to rest, and I can entertain us with wine and meat, I am already very happy."

Signer sighed, "Your kindness makes me feel even more pathetic, I am too old to know if I can wait until the day when the castle built for you will be built." ”

Lawrence looked at the aged Signner, who was in his fifties.

This age is long overdue for death in this era, and Signer II himself knows this.

Lawrence comforted: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are like the changes of the sun, moon and stars, they belong to a part of the order, we cannot avoid it, but we can delay it a little, if you are devout to God, God will tolerate you to stay in the world for a while." ”

Signer II quickly had hope and looked at Lawrence excitedly.

"I have the same devotion to God, and I have the same respect for you, the prophet."

Lawrence smiled and said, "Then love the life now, let's eat and drink to our heart's content, and celebrate every day's harvest!" ”

The people around were already impatient, and under the leadership of Lawrence, a group of people quickly drank wine and ate meat, watching the women twist their butts and shake their chests.

After eating and drinking, Lawrence stood up and said, "The sea dragon by the sea is my trophy!" Keep the dragon head and transport it back to Flying Fish Harbor for safekeeping, and the rest of the flesh and blood will be packed up and I will give it to my friends! ”

"The rest of the dragon meat and oil will be given to you, Signer!"

Lawrence presented most of the dragon to Signor II of the Hokuriku Kingdom.

When Signor II heard this, he quickly stood up, "Thank you Prophet for the gift, I am giving you the Harbor of the Northern Mainland!" ”

Lawrence waved his hand when he heard this, "For a king, any piece of land is an incomparably precious inheritance, and you are not only responsible for the honor of your ancestors, but also for the descendants of your own country. ”

"I have already collected a lot of land, as a friend I should not take away your family's port, if you want to give me a gift, reduce the money tax of the farmers on this land for a year, so that those farmers who farm can have enough to eat and have more food to feed their offspring."

Sighner II was once again impressed by Lawrence's benevolence, "Yes, I will exempt them from taxes for three years." ”

Lawrence smiled: "I won't embarrass you either, my mercy should not be paid for by you, in the next three years I will increase the amount of business with the Northern Continent Kingdom, and the price of the wine and cloth sold to you will be lowered, and the price of your grain and fish will be more." ”

"If your nobles could make more money from their business, they wouldn't object to a benevolent reduction of taxes on those money."

Signer II exclaimed: "Yes, merciful prophet! ”

The banquet soon continued, and Signner's queen and lovers came to greet him.

Signer was the first to join the Church of the Stars to solve the problem of children, and later married several wives and gave birth to several children.

Several have died, and now there are three sons who are six or seven years old.

After greeting Lawrence, the children went to play with the sea dragon, looking at the terrifying monster with fear and excitement.

After Lawrence greeted several nobles one after another, a young nobleman who looked steady and handsome soon walked over.

"Your Majesty, Prophet, welcome." The man bowed slightly to Lawrence.

Lawrence sat in his seat and smiled, "Long time no see, Marquis of Huey." ”

Huey is the heir to the old nobleman of the City of Fish and the City of Water, the Marquis of York, and has been getting along with Lawrence very happily since seven or eight years ago, and belongs to an old acquaintance in business.

"Prophet, your strength makes the noble ladies and ladies of the city unable to take their eyes off them, and if you buy a slave girl, those noblewomen will fall to their knees before you."

The Marquis of Huey smiled and chatted with Lawrence about men.

Lawrence smiled, "I'm proud that I'm so attractive, but as you know, there's no shortage of beautiful women around me, because there are so many women to take care of, and I'm a little busy right now, so let's talk about this later." ”

Xiu Yi smiled: "I was going to recommend my sister, but she is too far behind the beauties around you, maybe there will be good beauties among my daughters in the future." ”

Lawrence put away the joke, "It seems that you have also begun to train the next generation, as you can see, I have also been training qualified warriors and commanders from young people all these years. ”

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, growth and replacement are all normal things, whether it is a family, a country, or a church, it is inseparable from fresh blood."

"I know many nobles who are older than you, both men and women, just as I did when I knew you, and I would love to meet those young people."

Xiu Yi was just talking about women, but he didn't expect Lawrence to misunderstand what he meant, he didn't mean it so seriously.

But feeling that it was a good thing to be misunderstood by this kind, Marquis Xiuyi quickly said: "There are a few good smart children in the family. ”

"Then tell those children our story, tell us the teachings of the Church of the Stars, and let the children who learn the Luffin language go to the cold land and receive a more formal aristocratic elite education."

Lawrence said solemnly: "I am willing to share knowledge, whether it is the knowledge of military aristocracy to command troops and wars, or the management of territories, the knowledge of government affairs of manor castles, agricultural industries, and the knowledge of accounting and aristocratic etiquette, music and painting, etc., the cold land is the best." ”

At Lawrence's initiative, not only the Marquis of Huey, but even Signer II had the idea of letting his heir study in the Land of Ice for a few years.

Lawrence's wine, meat, and story far surpassed the rest of the rest of the country in terms of cultural system and military and commercial prosperity, and had a fatal attraction to the aristocracy of several nearby countries.

A strong man who can go into the water to kill the sea dragon has a good voice and good talk with people, and no one will refuse the kindness of the other party.

Especially when Lawrence distributed the precious sea dragon meat to the nobles and merchant farmers in the port, the name of the Star Church and Lawrence became a mantra that everyone praised.

"Kudos to Lawrence, it's a great day!"

"Praise Lawrence! The dragon meat I got was boiled into dragon oil! ”

"Praise Lawrence! My family too, it's fragrant! ”

The Kocako Kingdom and the Haisenli Kingdom also quickly sent people to ask for some dragon meat, which was refined into luxurious dragon oil.

Lawrence kept a lot of it himself, and the rest was given to the warriors of this battle. (End of chapter)
