Chapter 206 Thanksgiving
After dinner, Lawrence walked to the communal kitchen with his hands behind his back.

Behind Lawrence, Emma and Bull followed slowly, carrying the barrel.

The lumberjacks and the camps have built kitchens. Now the public kitchens by the river are mainly used to cook for the few serfs living in the manor.

For example, the Mandekru family and the Reglo family.

There are also snow cave dog trainers Brick and Ai Ali, and Navia and Brielle who live in the back room of the church.

Ai Ali was beautiful and a native of Pumixiu. Lawrence arranged to join his own church, the Lord of the Stars, as a nun. She was responsible for cleaning the church every day, or helping out in the main house.

Lawrence doesn't drink, so he takes out the newly brewed fruit wine as a reward.

Now is the period of technological exploration, and Lawrence is not very confident about the food produced by these home-made methods. He plans to wait until the technology matures before drinking it himself.

But the rest of the era felt safe about this fruit wine.

After all, this is an era where water from rivers and streams can be drunk casually. In comparison, wine is already a very clean drink.

Lawrence abides by his own rules and regulations, and those who do meritorious service will be rewarded.

The eggs were already boiling in the big pot next to him. When Lawrence felt that they were almost done, he shouted to the people in front of him: "Get in line!"

The people who were originally standing scattered outside the shed quickly crowded together, and they started to push each other and I pushed you to line up.

Reguero stood first. She was the strongest, especially with her short hair. She was basically a man.

The second person was Mandekru. Mandekru held the wooden wine glass he used to drink in one hand and put the other hand on his side. He was not carrying an arm knife at this time.

Mandekru was followed by Seravan, and then the two men of Reglo.

The first few people don't need to give in to each other. This status has been decided long ago. This is not the first time that these people have received rewards.

The competition was fiercer among the teams at the back, especially those women who were joining for the first time. They quickly decided on a natural order through their own strength and fierce eyes.

Modesty is not popular in this region. The one ranked last may not necessarily be the weakest, but it will certainly not be too strong.

We usually queue up to eat, and both women and men have established basic order in their respective teams.

Each person has a glass of wine and an egg, and Reglo, Mandekru, and Seravan can each get an extra egg.

Everyone can have enough to eat, but eating well is a qualification that only a few people have.

Those who received the wine quickly went to the public kitchen in the camp to play cards.

Not because it was spacious and had tables, but because there was a lit fire, allowing everyone to play cards late into the night.

You don’t need too bright a light to play cards, the light from burning wood is enough.

Lawrence warned: "Don't play too late, go back to bed soon."

Mandekru smiled and said: "Yes, master!"

Lawrence found that the men here didn't like sleeping with women. They just played cards and drank every night, as if there was no other entertainment.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lawrence quickly went to take a bath. He was going to have a good sparring session with Salil today.

Let her move! !

Lawrence looked at the sky in a good mood and looked at the bright stars in the sky. Now he has led an enviable life!

Hum!I tried it with Kehalan today. Kehalan looked at me with tears in her eyes. How could I let her down?

Now that I am young and promising, it should not be a big problem to fight one against two.

Fight Sally first, then suppress Haran, and unify Delenn, just around the corner!

Go ahead, Fireboy King!

***
A war game has been popular in the Luofen Kingdom since last year, an intellectual game that can be played by four or three people together.This game was first popular in a small town, and later became popular in the taverns of the Kingdom of Luofen, and then became popular among various nobles and knights.

Many people don't have playing cards, so they can only watch others play this game in the pub.

Often four people would sit there and play cards, surrounded by a dark crowd of more than 20 people.

For bandit leaders and some gangsters, this is a very honorable thing.

The seemingly complicated rules of the game were quickly memorized by a group of illiterate people.

Also because memory bias makes the rules more complicated, everyone has to politely ask about the rules of the game before starting to play cards, and confirm them before starting.

Gradually, this game became popular among nobles and noble women. After a long night, this game seemed to have its own magic power and was loved by more and more nobles.

In the royal palace of Telandatho City, Luofen III was passing by Telandatho City while he was inspecting his territory.

Duke Redela and Lofven III, Duke Marim, and Chancellor Eric.

Four people sat around the table, and on the table covered with animal skin blankets lay white playing cards like flakes.

Playing cards made of these bones are easier to engrave and have the hard touch of jade, making them very comfortable to touch.

And unlike most bones with impurities, well-maintained dominoes can maintain their texture for a very long time.

This was not the first time the four of them played cards, and they quickly drew a hand of cards in tacit understanding.

After drawing the cards, the four distinguished nobles tacitly leaned on the backs of comfortable chairs and crossed their legs to check their cards.

The women and servants standing behind the four people include wives, daughters, sons, housekeepers and servants.

"Two slaves, two serfs, two free people, leading citizen merchants and soldiers! Revolt!"

Duke Marim drew the Citizen Priest card of hearts, so he took the lead.

Seeing that Duke Marim directly played seven cards, Luofen III, who was sitting next to Duke Marim, quickly suppressed it.

"Two merchants, two warriors, two knights, with slaves, serfs, and free people! Suppress!"

Finance Minister Eric frowned and looked at the cards in his hand, narrowed his eyes and said solemnly and deeply: "I can't control it."

A lady in a palace dress behind Eric said quickly: "Use magic! You can use magic!"

The woman was very anxious to give directions.

Eric covered his cards, frowned and said to the people around him: "Don't peek at my cards!"

Luofen III and others all knew that Eric had a card, and they smiled and thought about what the opponent's trump card was.

When Eric saw the expressions of the others, he knew that he would definitely be remembered. He immediately squeezed the dominoes in his hand angrily and said: "You can go walk the dog, watch the wrestling, drink and sleep! Don't hinder me from playing here. War Games!"

Redela quickly reminded: "Don't use force, I only have this deck of cards. The deck was too angry and broke last time."

Redela gets very angry when she loses, and sometimes likes to smash dominoes on the table when she is angry.

Luofen III smiled and said: "Redela gave me a set of cards. I will use that set of cards next time I go to Northrim City."

Redela said in a very good mood: "I asked people to go to that place again. There are no such good dominoes anymore, but they brought back twenty sets of wooden playing cards."

Luofen III looked at the cards in his hand and thought of the tribe living in the mountains.

"That place is the territory of the Valkyrie people. The Valkyrie people don't want to go to war with the East this year, so let the Count of Valkyrie hand over fifty sets of playing cards, three sets of dominoes, and one hundred kilograms of medicinal powder as war tax."

Duke Redela smiled, "They will be grateful to you."
