Chapter 7: The Remnants of the Grey Elves
Summer in the Frozen Lands is fast coming to an end.
In the final sweltering hour, dozens of members of the Lawrence family ate berry shaved ice around the Great Oak Tree.
The two little boys were fighting on the grass with wooden sticks, they didn't want to hit each other's hands and shoulders, but they preferred to touch each other's sticks with their own sticks and make bangbang sounds.
Battles always ended quickly, always with the older Hans Christian Andersen victorious.
Grimm, who had lost his weapon, would soon run to Kassandra and cry.
"Green, do you want to eat shaved ice?" Saliel digs up a spoonful of shaved ice for Green.
"Eat." Green, who was crying, soon stopped crying, and his mother was eating quietly, ignoring him.
Saliel began to feed Green shaved ice, while Andersen, on the other side, sat on the ground and ate quietly.
Lawrence looked at his two sons, who were only quieter when they were eating.
By Lawrence's side, relying on a black and straight beauty of the iceberg system, the big beauty's belly has an obvious bulge, and she has obviously been pregnant for a while.
Catherine's child will be Lawrence's third.
In addition to Catherine, there are many beautiful and beautiful elf beauties in the vicinity.
These elven ladies are used to life here, and they are used to the enjoyment here.
Lawrence was sitting and resting to enjoy the quiet afternoon when he sensed someone approaching.
As Lawrence looked into the entrance, he saw a Dark Elf warrior walking briskly.
"Master, there are two dark elf wizards working for us who want to see you."
Lawrence looked puzzled, "Dark Elf wizard? Do we have it? ”
"Forget it, go check it out." Lawrence helped Catherine beside her to her feet, and soon walked out on her own.
Sariel stood up and said, "It's almost time for us to go in, everyone clean up." ”
Sophia crossed her hands on her hips and said proudly: "Bring your own things back, don't let the maid do everything, if you can't even do this kind of thing yourself, then it's time to exercise!" ”
Delenn didn't say anything, and walked away with the chair he was sitting in.
With Delen's movements, the rest of the people followed and went back with their things.
Candace and Sartis took things for the mistress and the child, and the rest of the elves, although not happy to see this, also took their things and went back.
Lawrence ignored small groups among women, and there were some things that didn't require men to come forward.
Upon arriving at the Ring's reception room, Lawrence meets two men who are apparently wizards.
One was an older dark elf with gray-white eyebrows and long hair.
One was a Black Elf warrior in his prime, who looked strong and powerful, but as scruffy and unkempt as the barbarians here.
"Merciful prophet, I am Monye, the leader of the Grey Elves tribe wandering south, and he is the leader of our remaining Grey Elves, Alaed."
Lawrence nodded, sat down and looked at the old man.
"It's the first time I've seen a gray elf wise man as old as you."
"Yes, most of the grey elves won't live to my age." Meng Ye held his hands on crutches that were taller than him to keep his balance, "As you can see, I've had some physical accidents recently, and I may not have much time left. ”
Lawrence wondered, "What happened?" You just came to me and you had an accident? ”
"No, we've been here for more than two years, and I've spent two years of peace and abundance in this God-given land."
Meng Ye sighed, "But I was tormented by the injuries I suffered from when I was young, and in these short two years or so, I thought that this land was suitable for us Grey Elves to live in. ”
Lawrence smiled, "I've heard about your situation, because of the ability to control minds, and the gray elves' reputation is not good, the outside countries don't allow you to stay in their country. ”
"That's right." Meng Ye acknowledged the matter, "But you who are merciful and great, will not be afraid of this. ”
Lawrence doesn't just promise anything, "My mercy doesn't give out at will, and I don't get my mercy at will." ”
Meng Ye took the initiative and said, "We have left a lot of gray elf women in the ancient forest, if you promise us a place to live, we will bring them over, and we have a way to find Lady Keharan's child, Anyur." ”
Lawrence directly refused, "No, what I lack here is not a gray elf, but an educated and trained maid." ”
"The Grey Elves don't mean much to me, I'm already training young Wood Elf maids, and the Wood Elves are better and have a better reputation than the Grey Elves."
Lawrence stood up directly, "I don't want to negotiate terms with you, you must understand that my mercy is only for my servants and people, and you are trying to negotiate terms with the king here and the prophet appointed by the god of stars." ”
Alaide tensed and felt like he was going to fight.
The elder Monye looked at Lawrence, "In this land, it is permissible to talk about business. ”
"Yes, it is indeed allowed, so I have no need to show force, and I simply refused your conditions." Lawrence nodded, acknowledging and allowing Mover to protect himself with the rules here.
Meng Ye was a little more stable, "I'm willing to bring all the women of the clan over, please allow us to leave the gray elves you look down on, and have a quiet place to live in Sdeltown." ”
Lawrence didn't want to cause trouble for future generations, "There are many places in the forest outside Southtown, you can find a place to live, but not too close to other human settlements, I will give you land that you can cultivate." ”
Meng Ye didn't want to farm, "That is no different from being in the forest, please let us live in the city, so that all of us gray elves will realize your greatness!" ”
Lawrence suddenly felt that the old man had a point, that people just didn't want to live in the forest anymore and came out to find a way.
It is really not good to continue to let them live in the forest.
"Then let's go to the village between Stier and Pig's Trotter City, where I've built quite a few new villages."
"Yes! Prophet! Thank you for your kindness! Meng Ye quickly agreed.
He had lived in that area for two or three years, and he was familiar with it.
Over the years, Monye and Aled have relied on tasks to earn their living expenses, and their followers have become accustomed to life here.
The wizards were very careful in what they did, and until they were sure that this place was really habitable, the gray elves hid their ears and identities.
Fortunately, there are also strange humans with various foreign accents in this area, coupled with the poor intelligence system, Lawrence doesn't mind these wizards continuing to hide, so he hasn't been exposed.
A long period of benevolent governance, as well as benevolent policies such as tax relief for the people of the Steen Realm, made the dark elves, who were not so trusting in humans by nature, willing to trust Lawrence.
"Then please give me a year, and I'll bring them over after next spring."
Hearing Meng Ye's words, Lawrence was curious: "Why is it so long?" ”
"I can't walk because of the snow in winter, so I need to wait until the weather is better to bring them over." Meng Ye explained, "We should still have more than thirty female elves. ”
Lawrence smiled: "This is not a problem, I will send someone to take you there in a car, and you can reach the Southern Kingdom within a month, as long as you don't hide too deeply, I think you will definitely be able to bring them back before the eternal night." ”
"Yes, merciful prophet." Meng Ye has no opinion.
Lawrence thought for a moment, "I'll give you some food, candy, and clothes, which should be better able to convince the women of your clan." ”
Monye and Aleide quickly thanked each other and waited at the bottom of the mountain with the gift from Lawrence.
It was a few hours before the wizard who controlled the flames came with a cavalry of thirty men to escort them.
Meng Ye and the other gray elves soon embarked on the road home, and when they returned, they left those wandering places forever with the last women of the tribe and came to settle in the land of God.

Lawrence approached Khallan and talked to him about it.
Keharan was not surprised, "Those elves are not the character of hard life, but without strength, they do not pose any threat, and they are better controlled than wood elves. ”
"The brain of the wood elf is not normal, even if it is educated from a young age, there will be that kind of disobedient elf, the gray elf is naturally obedient to the strong, and it is the most suitable maid."
Lawrence was speechless: "I don't want to listen to your training experience, don't you have anything to say about this matter?" ”
Kehallan stood up and quickly sat the millstone's big ass on Lawrence's lap, putting one hand around Lawrence's neck.
"There's nothing to say about Anyur, but the gray elves hiding in the forest, I think it's funny."
"How funny?" Lawrence holds the witch who will come to things.
As more and more wizards joined, Kehalan's role began to become less and less, and many of the elves who joined this time could take his place in Kehalan's position.
But the place of family and friends, the elves outside can never take over.
Khallan thought about the gray elves, and was much more relaxed when he was hugged by Lawrence, and could casually talk about whatever he wanted.
"The reason why those gray elf women hide in the forest is that they are afraid that they will be captured as slaves by wizards and human nobles, or captured by male witches to have children."
Lawrence wondered, "Aren't the gray elves all trying to give birth to male witches?" ”
Kharlan explained with a smile: "It is to give children to rich and powerful male witches, not to those wandering dangerous male witches, nor to give children to poor nobles. ”
"Once they leave the forest, they are caught and sold as slaves, and then they live a life that is even more miserable than in the forest."
"If they were able to live like ours after being captured, do you think they would still hide in the forest?"
Lawrence wasn't fooled and didn't ignore a lot of things, "but they and their husbands did a lot of things that offended people." ”
"Although it is said that in the face of survival, shame and shame must be compromised, but in this case, there is nothing wrong with others taking revenge."
"That was all before, and it didn't offend us." Kehalan didn't mind this kind of thing, "You yourself said that no one is perfect. ”
Lawrence said: "That's right, I didn't bother to worry about the previous things, if they come, you and Candace will be in charge of the training, don't let them bring in the wild survival set." ”
"Okay, but I don't feel like there's anything good, especially compared to the wood elves, the value of those gray elves is only in obedience."
Grey elves are generally not strong, especially female grey elves are basically between ordinary people and wizards.
Wood elves have a large number of witches, and they are far superior to gray elves in terms of appearance and ability.
But it's not easy to cultivate, these elves have their own cognition, not the kind of bloodline ability control of the elf queen, and it is difficult for others to get their power support.
"Don't be in a hurry about this kind of thing, take your time."
Lawrence stood up and let Khallan get up from himself.
"I don't have to ask about Anyuer's affairs, you can handle it yourself." Lawrence took the initiative and said, "Let's go to the practice room and have a fight, I feel like you've been lacking exercise lately, and you've got meat on your stomach again." ”
"Really?" Keharan touched his abdomen, "It's not as tight as it used to be." ”
"You're still young, and you haven't even finished a third of your life." Lawrence reassured: "It's that a lot of things have been left to others lately, and you have more time to lie down and rest, eat food, and occasionally find something for yourself to do." ”
Keharan trusted Lawrence's words, "That's true, so in addition to training those witches in the future, I will also find some time to exercise and study plastic surgery by the way." ”
Lawrence became interested, "Is there really such a thing as a witchcraft of transfiguration?" ”
"Of course there is, and a lot of witches do." "Most of the witches you meet are young witches and elves, and in fact there are quite a few witches in the Southern Kingdom who like to dress up as little girls to seduce knights and nobles. ”
This kind of bad taste is not difficult to understand, women just deceive themselves and others, and use their disguised appearance to make fun of others and judge others by their appearance.
"Will you deceive the wizard?"
"No, that's going to die."
After finishing speaking, Kharlan looked at Lawrence and said helplessly: "Maybe they deceived you that you would not die, if you meet other male witches, when they disguise themselves as young witches and approach male witches, they will be at risk of becoming dead bodies." ”
Lawrence didn't want to be thought of as a bully, a cheater.
"Lying to me is also a felony, and I may have shown too much mercy lately, causing a lot of witches and witches to forget what I did."
Seeing that the topic was on a more serious issue, Kehalan smiled and said, "Let's go, go to the gym, go to the ground to practice first, and then go to bed, or just go to the ground?" ”
"Yes." Lawrence nodded, and agreed with a calm and smiling smile. (End of chapter)
