Chapter 27: The Arrangement of Heirs
Every day at dinner time, it is also a time for the Lawrence family to communicate.
"Lawrence, Catherine is going to find you a few more beautiful women."
Sarile spoke of good news that Lawrence might like.
Lawrence didn't look so happy, "What are you looking for a woman for?" Now we don't have enough to live in, and many elves and maids and guards have to go to the rooms outside the building. ”
Salil smiled and said, "Of course it's for you at night." ”
Lawrence didn't want to accept this kind of kindness, "No, I have a lot of women now, whether it's elves or humans, our own is enough." ”
When Loshanda, who was eating, heard this, she looked at Lawrence.
"Do we have a lot of female families here?"
Lawrence would still listen to Loshanda's words, and raised his head and said, "There are already a lot, so many that it can't fit in the castle, and the courtyard outside can be full." ”
Losanda shook her head, "I don't think it's the same, you, me, Delen, Sariel, Sophia, Keharan, Catherine, Kassandra, who else but what I'm talking about?" ”
"It's the same with special situations like Emma, Bull, and Hela, it's not just for me to conceive offspring that you can be considered family, you should know this."
Lawrence didn't want to discuss moral issues with the witches, "The elves joined me as the vanquished, and in addition to the elves, there were maids, guards, nuns, schoolgirls, and noble ladies. ”
Khallan first understood Losanda's thoughts, and seeing that Lawrence did not understand in time, he explained some of the problems that Loshanda did not address.
Sariel's body leaned closer to Losanda and whispered, "And the newborn Athena." ”
"Now we have enough food here, and there is no problem of running out of consumables, and there is no problem of uncontrollable troublesome witches."
Kehallan accepted many of Lawrence's claims, including instinct, which attributed fault to instinct rather than his true thoughts and morals.
"For our clan, the family you are talking about, fresh blood is a precious necessity."
"So instinctively, we're all going to avoid that happening."
"When there are more people, there will be more food, and witches will not live peacefully with each other, and will find themselves a witch who may kill them."
Losannata's thinking is somewhat different from that of traditional witches, who have long served as prophets and spiritual leaders of the tribe, thinking about the healthy continuation of the race and the trade-offs in the face of various risks.
Sariel can always convince others, and Loshanda nodded and said: "Sariel is right, Athena is also our family, but the rest of the elves and women who bear children for you are not family, they are just tools." ”
Emma and Candace and other maids stood by and listened quietly, Lawrence was kind and kind, but Emma also felt that Losanda was not wrong.
"Most witches don't like it, they don't introduce the other witches to the witches, and they don't take the initiative to do this kind of thing, unless it's the kind of group that lived together before they met the witch, and it's more like getting caught at the same time."
"Now that you have a lot of children, and we witches are here, we all have a long life to go, but I always think that you should get more fresh blood."
"You're right, it's not just the ones who conceive offspring for you that are considered family, and I know that and I accept this constraint." Losanda nodded in agreement with Lawrence, "Our question is not to discuss whether the rest of the women around us are qualified to be family, but to find a way to get more women." ”
"The more witches you have, the stronger we become." Khallan spoke of the fact, "So I agree with Khallan and Sariel that you deserve more." ”
Lawrence pretty much got it in his way, "Mother means looking for women who are truly qualified to join us, who can be accepted by us, and who are strong enough. ”
Loshanda nodded, "There will definitely be such powerful witches out there, I always feel that our land is getting bigger and bigger, but the people in my family haven't changed for many years. ”
Lawrence was stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds to react.
Lossanda did not treat the boys as family members who could be inherited.
Elves are the queen's succession system, and the group of witch tribes is also dominated by witches.
"There's something I'd like to ask." Lawrence looked at the mothers of Losanda and Kassandra, "What do you think of me and my son?" Mainly in terms of the future of this country and our family. ”
Luo Shanda said without hesitation: "You are still very young, these children need to go outside to experience, we need to carefully observe their behavior to make sure that they will not follow the path of other male witches." ”
Delenn didn't say anything, she had always been dominated by Loshanda.
Kassandra's attitude was similar.
"Green is a pure-blood wizard, it's really too dangerous, I've heard a lot of rumors about wizards, including my father's experience, with the exception of you."
On behalf of the rest of the witches, Kharan said, "I think so too, most male witches are not a good king, nor are they a good father, nor are they good children. ”
If the ordinary barbarian is an alternative kind of father unkind and son unfilial, then the male witch is an enhanced version of the barbarian.
Talking about filial piety with a male witch is like telling a lion cub to be filial to a male lion.
There is also a bit of a difference, when this lion cub grows up, he not only attacks the male lion, but even kills the female lion like a female lion.
This is not an absolute thing, in the past, the resources were underdeveloped, but now there is no need to do that after more resources.
Lawrence thinks so, but he doesn't really think about the long term.
Lawrence didn't want to risk his life, especially because he felt that he was still very young, and the history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries told Lawrence that there is no father and son in front of power.
Most of the wizards are more powerful than brains, and most of the barbarians under their command are brainless people.
The current general environment is not suitable for the cultivation of heirs, and first of all, it is necessary to stabilize the nobles in various localities and form a basic class that performs its own duties.
There is also too much power to give children, and after they awaken their power, others will not dare to kill them, which will lead to more troublesome consequences.
Lawrence, who suddenly realizes that he is not a good father either, has already thought of this step.
"Both Gran and Io need my descendants to manage, and I hope that they will be able to go to the outside world to see the stars and seas outside in the future."
Lawrence eventually decided to separate the children, "enough to let them sleep alone, let them learn how to ride and cook in battle, and take them out for a walk often." ”
"When Andersen is twelve years old, let him go to the army and become a soldier, where there are enough people to control him and educate him."
Born in the eighth year of the new calendar, Andersen is already seven years old this year, and in five years he will be just in time for the battle against the South, and to vent the violence inherent in his youth on the enemy, not on his own.
The rest of the people accepted this arrangement, and the witches and witches only focused on the care of the children during their childhood, and when the children grew up, there was no instinct to take care of them.
Usually this stage is also the stage when the young beasts become hideous, their fangs and claws are sound, and their desire to attack is uncontrolled. (End of chapter)
