forest kingdom

Chapter 198
Farm, keep healthy, farm, keep healthy, keep healthy, keep healthy, keep healthy...

Although Lawrence wants to keep healthy, farming is also important.

Lawrence didn't indulge in the bathhouse after it was ready. There were still Valkyries watching nearby, so he couldn't be careless.

In the morning, after exercising, Lawrence sat outside in the wooden shed and worked after breakfast.

Today, we need to make wooden barrels, whether it is pickling vegetables or fish and loading things, we need a lot of wooden barrels.

Emma came over with a pile of wood chips suitable for making barrels and placed them in front of Lawrence.

"Master, are these enough?"

Lawrence looked at the pieces of wood that fell in front of him. These were enough to make a barrel.

"Call Etty and ask the lumberyard to make more. We need to use a lot of barrels. Seravan and I are here today to teach the others how to make barrels."

Emma looked at Lawrence and asked very proactively: "Can I learn? Although I am not beautiful, I am very good at working."

Lawrence smiled and said: "Of course, I can't make a few barrels by myself. More people need to be able to do this to solve the problem of insufficient containers in time."

"And Emma, ​​you are beautiful and good at work. Who says you are not beautiful?"

Lawrence has a good relationship with Emma and knows that Emma is good at housework.

Emma looked at Lawrence and explained: "But when I wanted to help you take a bath before, you were always unwilling. Brielle was fine when I took a bath yesterday. I know she is younger and more beautiful."

Lawrence discovered that there was a problem with the stability of the estate.

What the witches like Salil and Sophia could accept, Emma and other maids couldn't accept it. They felt that Lawrence wouldn't let them get close.

When there are many people, this kind of intimacy problem will arise, especially for a noble or lord. He cannot do many things himself, and he also needs stewards and servants to manage the territory and manor.

No matter what era they are in, these people will have their own interests and needs.

Today's manor is basically full of slaves, and most of the slaves do not have this awareness. The main reason is that there are problems between maids and maids.

Brielle is from Durella, and Emma and others are, in a sense, domestic servants who belonged to Lawrence and Salil in the early days, and they have a stronger sense of self.

Favoring one over another affects balance, and Lawrence instantly realized his problem.

"I don't want the noble blood to be exposed." Lawrence said seriously: "So I will think carefully about some things. Brielle is the daughter of a knight, but it is still not enough. I just asked her to help me take a bath yesterday. It’s up to Salil and Sophia to help with this matter.”

"Of course my body is healthy, and so is Salil. Brielle is a nun who serves God and a devout believer in our church. I should give her such an opportunity to serve me up close."

Lawrence felt that he shouldn't pay too much attention to this kind of thing, and he should get close to the witch in the future.

After understanding that it was a question of noble blood, Emma nodded and said: "I understand, the fruit of the oak tree will be several winters later than the seeds of the weeds, but it is destined to become a giant tree that people look up to."

Lawrence was glad that Emma could understand these things. From now on, unless she is a noble woman, or a woman whom he thinks has potential, he should not do things that cause misunderstanding.

Emma quickly asked: "Master, when you take a shower today, do you want me to help you scrub your body?"

"Of course." Lawrence just wouldn't have sex with other women casually, and he didn't have to take a shower by himself.

As long as they don't have sex, there's no difference between a female technician and a male technician, but psychologically, I still prefer a woman who I like to bathe and rub my back.

This kind of thing is normal in this era. How could a noble have no maid? If word spread, men will misunderstand that this noble prefers male knights.

All Emma cared about was the issue of intimacy, why did she let Brielle help with the bath instead of herself.

After receiving a positive reply, Emma's face was filled with undisguised satisfaction, "Thank you, Master, I'm going to work."

"Okay." Lawrence looked at Emma walking out and sighed helplessly, "In the future, we should give priority to our own people for this kind of work."

At this time, Reglo came over and said, "Master, is there something wrong?"

"No." Lawrence said calmly: "Reglo, if you have nothing to do recently, go to the lumber camp and pick some men who can fight. In the future, we will form a team that can resist foreign enemies."

"Yes, Master." Reglo quickly left again.

Reguero was also a strong female warrior who needed to be won over, but for this man's daughter who was more like a man, Lawrence felt that it would be better to use other methods to win over her.

Even if you are arranging things for your own people, you have to consider some other factors.

In an environment full of slaves, being a maid is definitely a good job, so in addition to people like Emma and Bull, there are also two women who have been taking care of Seravan.

"I always think about it like this. Even finding a woman to help me take a bath has to think so much. Who is the master?"

Lawrence frowned, feeling that he was calculating too much for the sake of balance and stability, just like the ancient emperors.

"If only I were really a wizard, I wouldn't need to consider the feelings of ordinary people at all."

"But if I were really a wizard, I wouldn't have met Sophia, Sariel, Delenn, and Khalan. Who would let go of their power and become a savage here?" Lawrence scratched his head. Scratching his head, he continued to work on carpentry with his head down.

Precisely because they were ordinary people, Lawrence gave these people excellent treatment when he ruled them.

If you are a wizard, even if you are a person who does not cause trouble, you will treat others as less than human beings because of your huge power.

Wizards in this world are a hundred times more dangerous than witches, and according to the descriptions of Khalan and the old forest witch Lathander, wizards are very aggressive.

In order to get what they need, wizards will often do whatever it takes.

***
Over the next few days, the women of the manor gathered together to weave mats and make barrels.

Some people continued to cut trees and collect berries and wild vegetables, some held their children and tanned flax and sisal in the sun, while others processed wood chips and branches with knives.

Seven or eight barrels were quickly made. While everyone was working, a big tree in the distant forest would fall down from time to time.

More and more crows will fly over in search of food. Some will eat berries and eggs from nearby trees, some will eat bugs crawling out of trees, and some will fly to compete with chickens for feed.

Although the people in the manor would not harm the crows, they had no respect for them at Lawrence's request. They would not actively provide them with food, nor would they allow them to steal food.

It became increasingly difficult to encounter prey when hunting. Soon, at Lawrence's request, Regloro no longer went out hunting, but instead took Beow down the mountain to inspect the territory.

Many teenage boys in the manor were molested by a group of aunts and widows.

In the past, young girls mixed with middle-aged and elderly people who could bring food. Now, young guys mix with mature aunts and aunts.

Young girls like mature men, and young boys also like mature women, but under Lawrence's manorial law: men and women of the same age have priority.

Lawrence behaved very uncivilized in this matter, forcibly interfering with the marriages of slaves and free people. Marriages in the manor had to obtain the consent of the manor owner, otherwise it would be illegal.

The cabbages planted in early spring began to mature in large quantities. Emma picked five cabbages from the field and put them in the basket behind her, then walked towards the kitchen carrying the cabbages on her back.

The weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently, so Emma put on a linen maid's dress, with only a linen vest underneath except for the outer layer of clothing.

Emma lowered her head and looked at her skirt, which reached her calf. Many women working in the distance were only wearing linen vests and a simple skirt.

Most of the men were shirtless, with their hairy thighs exposed.

Emma went into the house to cook and chop vegetables while thinking about Lawrence's body.

Emma said to Bull who was baking bread: "Lawrence doesn't have that obvious hair on his legs or arms, just like a girl.

Bull smiled and said: "No, he is smoother than many women and has no hair on his chest. It must be very comfortable to sleep with him!"

Salil, who was standing in the corridor upstairs, frowned, pulled up her skirt and looked at the hair on her legs.

Salil quickly left the cabin and went into the forest.

Lawrence and Khalan were in the forest checking on the potato fields, and Delenn had just softened some of the soil.

Because I have experience in dealing with fallen trees, I haven’t asked Salil for help recently.

Sofia, who was in charge of the lookout, saw Salil coming and said hello: "Salil!"

Lawrence continued to measure the height of potato seedlings in the field and calculate the time when they would be ready to eat.

Salil came over and knelt down, asking sadly: "Lawrence, how did you get the hair off your legs? Why are there so many hairs on my legs?"

"It's normal for you to have hair." Lawrence comforted: "But it's not obvious, just leave it there and don't worry about it."

Saryl looked at Delenn and Sophia.

Sophia is young and has no hairy legs.

Delen can harden the body, and when the legs are hardened, the leg hair will break off on its own.

Salil quickly looked at Kharan, "Khalan, why don't you have black hair on your legs?"

Of the five people in the family, only Salil has hairy legs, which makes Salil very uncomfortable.

Kehalan said casually: "Because all my witchcraft has been used, you only have brute strength, and the mysterious power in your body can only come out of your hair."

"Nonsense!" Lawrence couldn't stand hearing it anymore, "Does anyone with longer hair have greater strength?"

Kehalan smiled and said: "Witches can dress themselves up and use your power to change your body. This is a very simple thing."

Salil asked very concernedly: "What should we do?"

Kharan narrowed his eyes narrowly, "Pinch it yourself with tweezers, and then pull it out one by one."
