Chapter 247 Prelude to Spring

Every seven days, everyone gathers together to pray.

After the prayers, there was singing and dancing, and a big pot of rice that had not been eaten in a long time around the roaring campfire.

Bread, wine, oranges.

Seven or eight people share an orange, and each person can only eat a very small segment, so everyone will eat as much as possible to feel the cool and sweet impact.

The warriors who registered as soldiers were given chickens and eggs one after another. They may have forgotten this soon, but in the memories of other women and children around them, this scene may last forever until they have similar honors. Only then can we forget slowly.

This year's eternal night is still difficult, especially in the last few days, when the weak chickens who have not been exposed to the sun for a long time begin to die on a large scale.

Fortunately, we separated the weak chickens from the healthy chickens in time, and finally retained more than 380 chickens.

As a backup lighting tool, the Holy Light Bead was only used once and then sealed in the box again.

Too strong light is not suitable for people and livestock here, and will affect everyone's eyes.

The long eternal night finally passed after days of torturous waiting. Lawrence rang the bell on the day when the eternal night passed, and welcomed the arrival of light with everyone.

Lawrence stood on the roof of the church and stretched out his index finger towards the world that had begun to light up.

"God said! Let there be light!"

When the world's first light appeared from the sky, and when Lawrence led everyone to call out the sun, all the slaves and warrior servants looked at Lawrence excitedly and spontaneously knelt down.

At that moment, even Salil and others, who knew that Lawrence was a fake wizard, looked at Lawrence with awe.

Lawrence, who mastered the calendar time and weather changes, could defeat various immortal sects in the agricultural era.

In an area like Eternal Night, to the barbarians who have experienced Eternal Night, he is a god!
The long night passed quickly, and while the weather was still cold, everyone began to go out of the house to work.

Burn the mountains and crack the rocks, dig holes for fishing, cut wood to collect materials, clean the roads, release the chickens and sheep from the house, and let them find food near the camp.

Lawrence's goal this year is to build a castle, make a water-powered mill, make a more convenient blacksmith shop, expand farmland, and establish a stronghold in Ugg District.

A castle cannot be built in one year; a castle requires many years of effort.

Lawrence plans to build a temporary residence in the cave. With Delen's ability, many things can be done slowly.

Moreover, when building a residence in a cave, Lathander's ability can be used more naturally, and there is no need to worry about the high temperature setting the wooden house on fire.

"start!"

Lawrence quickly took the lead and carried the tools to the cave and built a fire near the chosen stone wall.

Delen threw a handful of firewood on the ground, looked at the stone fire in front of him and said, "Let me do it. I can dig a hole in one go. You are too slow."

Lawrence shook his head, "You should save your ability to cultivate farmland. Digging wood is much more laborious than burning stone."

Delen asked curiously: "Which one is more important?"

"Yes, digging wood is more important." Lawrence affirmed: "With more farmland, our lives can be guaranteed. Food issues are the first guarantee and top priority at all times."

Delenn is also the leader, but he doesn’t quite agree with Lawrence’s statement.

"Is it like this outside? Consider this the most important thing." Delenn was curious about who was weirder.

Lawrence explained: "No, the nobles outside are not as kind as me. This is the wisdom that has been passed down for 5000 years!"

Delen looked Lawrence up and down, "Are you really a wizard?"

"No!" Lawrence replied with certainty.

After thinking for a while, Delen quickly said: "Salil said that you always like to lie. I think you are a wizard!"

Lawrence stood silently next to the fire, looking at the blazing flames and the falling snow on the mountain.

"Forget it, just say so. If I can't give birth to a child, I will come to you." Lawrence gave up resistance.

If it weren't for wizards, many things would be unexplainable.

Even though I have repeatedly stated that I am not a wizard, people around me just don’t believe it.

Even if you believe it for a while, you will gradually be shaken by various things.

Delen looked relieved, "Sure enough, you are a wizard! You are afraid that others will find out that you are a wizard, so you even lied to yourself!"

"Well..." Lawrence was too lazy to argue, "So what if it's confirmed? What are you going to do now?"

Delen thought for a while, then quickly picked up the wooden spear and walked to the side, "I'm going to dig up the tree."

"I'm here to help you!" Lawrence was fine. The flames would take a while to heat up the stone.

Delen looked at Lawrence with a mocking face, "I can knock you down even if I don't use witchcraft!"

Lawrence was underestimated and shouted angrily: "Am I the kind of man who takes advantage of the situation? I tell you, I have a hundred ways to knock you down!"

Delen asked curiously: "What about?"

"For example, ask your mother to help!" Lawrence threatened fiercely: "Those who have gained the right will get more help; those who have lost the right will get less help!"

"I give the order. Your mother, Kharan, and Salil, the three of them combined can't suppress you?!"

Delen thought about this possibility and felt that Lawrence was right.

"I see. I thought that the relationship between us was that of a pack of wolves. If you want to conquer me, you have to defeat me. But I forgot that you have been the leader for a long time."

"You have conquered my tribe, and even my mother has surrendered to your rule. I have indeed lost."

Delenn took a broad view and accepted the fact that he lost to Lawrence.

Delen's performance made the angry Lawrence feel very embarrassed, "We are joining forces, not fighting and annexing. Don't you agree that only the strong can conquer you? Why did you change your mind?"

Delen said seriously: "A wise man is also a strong one. Wise men and leaders like my mother are also strong in my eyes. I have always compared your strength with yours, but in fact I have long agreed that you are stronger than me. fact."

If he hadn't agreed that Lawrence was stronger than him, Delenn wouldn't have followed him out the first time.

When Lawrence threatened Lathander to release the people, he already had the strength to put the Cloda people in danger.

The perspective of Clodagh and Delen at that time: three witches and one wizard, including a pure-blood poison witch, a prophet-type pure-blood wizard, a half-blood berserker witch, plus more than 100 barbarians people's subordinates.

In the minds of Lathander and Delenn, Lawrence's configuration was already invincible.

And now Lawrence's power is even greater, growing stronger under the witness of Delenn, and constantly integrating nearby warriors and people from the north.

In the past, it was mainly due to Lawrence's character. When I got too close, I discovered that Lawrence was actually very weak, not strong at all, and ignored his true strength.

It was only after being threatened just now that Delen suddenly realized that Lawrence had already been a truly strong man!

Courage, offensiveness, wisdom, strength, tribesmen, territory...all kinds of abilities are not the strongest, but combined they are the strongest recognized by Delen.

Delenn walked towards Lawrence and said, "Have a baby with me!"

"No, no, no..." Lawrence flinched instead, "I'm not mentally prepared yet. It'll take a few days."

Delen nodded seriously, "Okay, I'll find you then."

After saying that, Delen turned around and left to work.

Lawrence was confused in the wind, and finally followed helplessly.

"Hey, let's take care of ourselves these days."
