Chapter 192: Major Events in Life
Everyone returned with hundreds of kilograms of goods, and Salil criticized Lawrence seriously.

"Lawrence, didn't you think carefully just now?"

Lawrence was just thinking about the good thing that he could eat bread tomorrow. When Sariel criticized him like this, he didn't understand where he was missing his thoughts.

"I thought about it seriously. Look, we have harvested a lot of wheat that can be used to make bread, and there are also women who can work and give birth to children."

Lawrence looked at the four women holding the wooden cart with both hands. These four women were all from the south. They were in good health and could do a lot of work.

Salil sighed, somewhat hating that iron could not become steel.

"Lawrence, please figure out what's going on here."

"A slave can cultivate three acres of land and harvest five baskets of wheat from each acre. He can also work to cut wood, collect firewood, build houses, and can do many things."

"You exchanged two decks of cards for three slaves. Think about it, these three slaves can harvest fifteen baskets of grain a year and do many things. They can continue to grow wheat next year."

"If you think about it this way, did you suffer a lot when you exchanged playing cards for wheat in the first place?"

"This can obviously be exchanged for the same price. Now you're doing this, and now you're at a loss."

Lawrence frowned and calculated, then quickly shook his head and said: "Your calculation is too confusing. According to what you said, one hen that can lay eggs is equal to a dozen hens, so use one hen that can lay eggs." Is it a loss-making business to exchange chickens for three hens that have never laid eggs?”

Sariel thought for a moment, "What hen? I'm not talking about hens. Four slaves exchanged three decks of cards, which equals one deck of cards to one point three and three slaves. You use one deck of cards to equal A slave and nine baskets of wheat..."

Lawrence didn't want to listen to her nonsense, and Reglo and others didn't understand Sariel's nonsense, and they didn't want to understand it.

Salil is like the kind of person who has learned something in an alley. It is obviously a very simple thing, but he starts to talk nonsense about various theorems and formulas, and then the more he calculates, the more confused he becomes.

Learning this kind of thing sometimes depends on talent. After all, sometimes in terms of arithmetic and logic, there is only one right path, and it depends on who has better luck.

Usually this kind of luck in learning is called talent.

Just like the dangerous intuition of a warrior or the touch of a marksman, it can no longer be described by luck alone.

Salyl had no talent for math, and Lawrence simply retorted: "Do you want to eat bread tomorrow, or do you want to wait until next year to eat bread?"

"Tomorrow!" Salil answered decisively.

Lawrence explained: "That's right. Don't worry about how much a deck of cards equals. Anyway, now we want to eat bread, and we just need to be able to eat bread!"

"When I get home, I'll help you make another deck of playing cards. You and Delen will grind the dough with a stone mill and bake bread for dinner!"

Salil nodded, finally letting go of the confusing problem she had been thinking about.

Delen felt that Salil had finally returned to normal, so he came over and said: "There is something wrong with Salil's brain, but I also feel that you are selling at a loss. Fresh boar teeth are hard to find, especially when you make them so beautifully. "

Lawrence smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The most important thing is eating."

Seravan was also thinking about that group of people.

"Master, that group of people will come again. If we make more playing cards, we can exchange them for more wheat and women!"

Lawrence smiled and said: "It's not that easy. They made a lot of money this time because they exchanged my dominoes. The next time they come here, they will definitely exchange cheap wheat and women for dominoes."

"If you want to exchange the playing cards made of wood chips in your hands for their wheat, they will definitely not come here again. These people have traveled for half a month to come here, not for the wooden cards they can make themselves."

Seravan was silent. These lumberyard workers would play cards to kill time in their free time. Everyone had a deck of cards in their hands.

Seeing Lawrence exchange playing cards for grain and women with outsiders, Seravan and others also felt that outsiders were stupid and naive, and would trade baskets of wheat and beautiful women for the wood chips in their hands.

Lawrence quickly took everyone back. Seravan and others continued to work in the lumberyard, and calm was quickly restored in the manor.

The four new women were arranged in the wooden shed where they usually bask in the sun. According to the old rules, they sat here for a day to observe the situation and figure out what others were doing.

Most men are not allowed to approach the wooden house casually. The people passing by the wooden house are mainly maids and nuns and peasant women who work. These people have long been accustomed to this kind of thing and do not look at the four new women who have joined the house. They appear very indifferent.

Lawrence sat chopping wood with a hatchet and making playing cards for the evening.

Sophia and Saryl are learning to make bread in the house, while Delenn and Khalan are building a bath in the back of the house.

Bull quickly walked over to Lawrence and sat down next to him, helping Lawrence make the wood chips.

"Master, are these four women pregnant?"

Lawrence looked at the four women, who were sitting in the shadow of the wooden shed sleeping or looking around.

Lawrence asked directly to the four people: "Are you four pregnant? Tell the truth."

The four women shook their heads quickly.

One said: "No, we are both perfectly healthy, no teeth have been lost and we are not pregnant."

Lawrence said: "Well, you just sit here. If you want to poop or pee, just tell the maid in white clothes. They will take you to solve it."

"Someone will bring you food when you eat. You will be given a house and a job tomorrow. Just stay here today and don't talk to others."

The four women all looked at Lawrence. This new owner was much better than expected.

Bull ignored the four slaves and continued with Lawrence: "Salil is not pregnant yet. Master, do you want to try another woman?"

Lawrence's working hands stopped.

"other people?"

Bull suggested: "This kind of thing is very important. Generally, men with women and women with men are almost pregnant at this time, but you and Salil have slept together for so long, and you haven't..."

Lawrence said: "I'm not in a hurry. Take your time. Salil and I are still young now, especially as there are still many things going on here in the manor."

Bull thought for a moment and asked: "I know Sophia is still young, have you, Delenn and Kharan ever done it?"

Lawrence explained: "Dren's character is very Valkyrie. If you want to get on her, you have to hit her first. You know, her punches are so powerful."

"As for Kharan...it's about the same."

Lawrence didn't know how to explain the matter of Kohalan. He didn't say he was unwilling, but he didn't show his willingness either.

Bull said: "I asked the Durila people that a man and a woman can have more than ten children there. Lawrence, you are an aristocratic master, so you should have many children."

"We have so many women here and only a few men. Lawrence, if you want to..."

Bull came close to Lawrence and whispered in his ear: "If you want to confirm whether it is your problem, I can try it on me for you. Don't worry, I won't tell others."

Lawrence's ears were a little itchy, but he said gratefully: "Bull, you are a good woman, but don't worry about the child. I am sure there will be no problem."

Seeing Lawrence say this, Bull said, "Well, you can come to me when you need it."

Bull quickly went to do other things, and Lawrence came into the house with half-finished wood chips to work on.

When all the witches returned to the house in the evening, Lawrence told them about Bull.

After hearing this, Kehalan said seriously: "This is a problem. We are all wizards. Each witch can only have one heir, but a wizard can have multiple descendants."

Sariel didn't understand, "Why can wizards have many children, but witches can only have one?"

Kehalan explained: "Because to conceive a witch and wizard who has inherited the mystery, a lot of energy needs to be stripped from the body and given to the child."

"But wizards are different. The children who inherit life from the mother's body and are born absorb the life of the mother. Many mortals will die in childbirth due to the birth of such offspring. Only witches can generally withstand this test."

Lawrence: "In other words, if I give birth to a child with an ordinary woman, there is a high chance that both the pregnant woman and the child will die in childbirth?"

Kehalan nodded, "That's right, and it will easily give birth to strange dead things."

Lawrence was silent for a moment.

What does it have to do with me?I'm a human, not a wizard!

Kharan said: "You can play whatever you want. If a healthy child can be born, even if it is a half-blood wizard, it will be a good thing for us."

Lawrence nodded: "Yes, I understand."

Kehalan added: "We witches and ordinary people cannot have children. Only wizards and men with extremely strong bodies can give birth to life in our bodies."

Lawrence was startled and turned pale with fright.Am I going to have no descendants?
Can't you?
Lawrence looked at Kehalan nervously, "Ordinary people can't get a witch pregnant? Do we need berserkers and wizards? So what happened to Sophia's father?"

Sofia explained: "My father was a knight. I don't remember clearly, but he should be very powerful."

Kohalan is a pure-blood wizard, Delenn's father is a tribal warrior, Sariel's father is a fierce man like Andrew, and Sophia's father is also a powerful knight.

I……

"I think I am not a wizard." Lawrence looked at everyone decisively and sincerely, "I am an ordinary person. How can I have a child with a witch now?"

Kehalan smiled and said: "Don't worry, your talent is to hide the power of the wizard, but the power of the wizard does not come from brute force and witchcraft, but from the soul. No matter how fragile you are, your seeds have unlimited possibilities! "

"I'm really an ordinary person!" Lawrence said anxiously: "I can't control crows at all, and I can't... know anything else."

Lawrence didn't expect that he didn't know anything anymore. It seemed that except for crows, he didn't seem to have anything to do with wizards, right?
Wisdom...that's true!

Delen scoffed: "I know, you just want to go to bed with those women first."

Salil showed a look of realization and said very understandingly: "Lawrence, you can go if you want. I know you have always been such a man."

Lawrence was helplessly silent, and only then did he realize how considerate Salil was.

In fact, Salil never stopped him from doing this at all, and she even took the initiative to ask him if he wanted to go to the town or go to the Clodagh tribe to relax.

After all, Andrew has a lot of needs in this kind of thing. Don't look at his usual seriousness. In fact, with the Cloda people and the Pumixiu people...

Lawrence suddenly thought of a very big thing!

"Khalan, after an ordinary person has a child with a witch, can he still have children with other women?"

"No." Kehalan said with great certainty: "In addition to wizards who can have children with multiple women and witches, even powerful knights and berserkers cannot have children again after having children with witches. There will not be any Descendants.”

The four women looked at Lawrence's panic expression, and soon they all looked at Lawrence solemnly.

"Lawrence, you... you are not a wizard?"

Lawrence gritted his teeth and affirmed: "Yes, I am not!"

"Gah~" The crow crawled in from the window. When he saw the wheat drying here today, he came over to take a few bites and see if there was anything else to eat.

Lawrence looked at the unfortunate crow and had no intention of paying attention to it.

Delen said solemnly: "Try to let this crow come over."

Lawrence sighed and called to the crow, "Come here."

The crow quickly spread its wings, flew over obediently, and landed on Lawrence's shoulder.

Sophia said to Salil and Kharan: "No matter whether the master is a wizard or not, he is my master! Didn't we agree to stay here with the master?"

She looked left and right, hoping that the two sisters wouldn't care so much about wizards.

Sophia doesn't have the ability to be a wizard, so she doesn't value this.

Salil nodded, "Sofia is right, when I was with Lawrence, I felt that he was a very weak person and would be beaten to death without my protection, so I had to be by his side to protect him. "

Lawrence was both amused and touched. It turned out that this was how Salil saw him.

It seems like that’s how you saw it from the beginning?
Lawrence suddenly looked back and found that he seemed to have not changed much, and Salil also had not changed much.

Kehalan spread his hands, "Me too. Regardless of whether he is a wizard or not, I surrender anyway."

Lawrence cast a grateful look at Kehalan, and Kehalan smiled charmingly, apparently wanting to eat him.

Now only Delen came to follow Lawrence because of the wizard.

Sophia, Salil, and Khalan all first accepted Lawrence as an ordinary person, and then accepted Lawrence as a wizard. Now that they discovered that Lawrence is still an ordinary person, they all accepted it naturally.

Delen clasped his hands in front of him and said indifferently: "It has nothing to do with me. Anyway, even if he is a wizard, if he wants to have sex with me, he must defeat me first."

Delenn was angry at the deception, but instead of leaving, he chose to stay angrily.

Lawrence felt much more relaxed, grabbed the crow and put it on the table, "Let's go out and play."

The crow quickly flew away.

The four women and girls suddenly looked at Lawrence in confusion.

Lawrence quickly explained: "If you catch it and let it go, it will run away! This is a rule, not a witchcraft!"

Kehalan looked at Lawrence with a puzzled look, "Then how did you call the chickens last time?"

"Habit! It's a habit! I shout the same thing every time I feed the chickens. If you shout..."

Delen said: "If we shout, will those chickens come?"

"Not necessarily..." Lawrence explained anxiously: "The voice is different, I've been shouting it since I was a kid!"

Sariel looked at Khalan, "Is there any way to tell whether Lawrence is a wizard?"

The experienced Khalan replied: "Wizards will attract witches to them, and witches will find them."

"One, two, three, four." The little girl Sophia pointed her fingers and counted the four witches at the table.

Salil frowned, as if she was stuck in a math problem, and looked at Lawrence with confusion and worry.

"But Lawrence says he's not a wizard."

Kehalan thought for a few seconds and quickly hesitated: "Could it be that...he even deceived himself?"

All kinds of evidence indicate that Lawrence is a wizard, but only Lawrence himself says that he is not a wizard.

If you put it outside, no one would believe it.

"Time will explain everything." Lawrence stood up and looked out the window solemnly, "You don't have to care whether I am a wizard or not, because it does not affect that I am better than you!"

If explanation is useless, then there will be no explanation!
Lawrence gained confidence from Sophia and her words, just believe me!
Delen hummed: "Are you better than me?"

Lawrence turned around and said seriously to Delen: "Pay attention to your attitude, I am the master of this place and the prophet here!"

"From scratch to now, if you didn't rely on me, then who would you rely on?"

Delenn turned his head and looked away, but admitted Lawrence's words honestly.

"That's right." Kehalan thought about the two different outcomes. "Whether it's a wizard or not, it won't affect Delen and I, but it will affect Sariel and Sophia."

Lawrence said directly: "I will shoulder my responsibility, leave my own descendants first, and then spend my own life accompanying you!"

Salil and Sophia both nodded, this was indeed the best solution.

Sophia had long planned to follow Lawrence for the rest of her life, and Salil had also planned to live alone for the rest of her life before she met Lawrence. Whether or not to have children would not have much impact on the two of them.

"I have no problem." Salil was finally able to speak her mind at this time, "I am actually afraid of giving birth to a child. If my child is an ordinary person, then according to the rules of the witch, I have to kill him and give birth to another child. Until finally a gifted child is born.”

"I think in this case, it's better not to give birth."

Salil felt that it was good now and she no longer had to worry about such terrible things.

Delen stood up, "Train with me tomorrow and I will train you into a powerful berserker!"

Before Lawrence could speak, Sariel who was sitting there shook her head, "It won't work, Delenn. Lawrence is lazy, timid and afraid of pain. He has no potential to become a berserker at all."

"Who said that?" Lawrence looked at Salil unconvinced, and then at Delen, "We'll start tomorrow! I have never given up the idea of ​​conquering Delen and pressing Delen under me!"

Delen smiled approvingly, "This is like a man."

Sophia and Saryl are not optimistic. They are both aware of the gap between Lawrence and Derren.
