Chapter 372 Dog Team
The envoy team from the Hokuriku Kingdom stayed for two days and then left. Lawrence persuaded them to go back and take charge of domestic affairs before driving away the two who wanted to stay.

The current climate is the hottest time of the year, and it is also a rare time of leisure.

Lawrence quickly built a wooden cart that could accommodate eight people. The town had already mastered this technology, and began selling cheap and exquisite carts to passing merchants.

In this era, production technology is money, but it often requires the endorsement of nobles and powerful forces. Otherwise, knowledge cannot be transformed into wealth without a stable social environment.

Wizards fall into this category. Even if they are willing to share their knowledge, they cannot share it.

Difficulty in learning is a condition, but the most important thing is that the social environment inhibits the spread of knowledge.

Lathander walked out of the house and watched the luxury car made by Lawrence with Delen and others.

The car has four wheels in total, and is 1.7 meters long, 1.6 meters wide, and [-] meters high. There is a gap of more than half a meter in front and behind the two wheels. There is a side door for getting on the car on the left and right, and there are two windows.

Salyl and Sophia quickly got in the car to experience the new car.

Lathander stood next to Lawrence and looked at the two children, with a kind smile on her face.

"Lawrence, that sister and I learned about things outside. The sisters outside are far worse off than we are here."

Lawrence felt that there was no worry in Lathander's tone, but more like a sigh expressed in a victor's manner.

"Yes, there may be many witches or witches coming to take refuge in the future."

Lawrence also felt very comfortable here.

Lathander's smile became more kind, "That's right, when we give the Hokuriku Kingdom and the Green Forest Kingdom some wheat, they will be able to eat bread."

Lawrence knew what Lathander was thinking.

Lathander did not persecute wizards outside, and was even willing to support the people here to provide them with food and help them a little.

But also because of the misfortune of others, I feel that my life is happier than my own, and I feel a little proud.

This is reasonable behavior.

"I will teach everyone the technology of windmills. When these international students return, they can build windmills in their hometowns."

Lawrence added: "I sent people to guide them in agricultural techniques before. At first, I think many people were unwilling to make farming too troublesome. But when the farmland has a good harvest, I think there will be more and more people." The more people are willing to work harder.”

“Hard work pays off.”

The improvement of agricultural technology is a slow process and takes at least ten years to promote.

Lathander doesn't need to worry about this, as long as he understands that he is living a good life now, it is enough.

Salil quickly tied the wooden cart to the two Dom sheep and began to lead the two Dom sheep out.

Lawrence and Lathander followed outside.

In the back kitchen of the church, Wu Mu was sitting on a bench eating leftover rice from a bowl, which contained various kinds of big fish and meat, as well as fried noodles.

After every banquet, a large amount of leftovers would be served. Emma, ​​Candice and others had separate small stoves to cook and would not eat the leftovers from outsiders.

The leftovers are taken care of by women who come to help.

These women were all mercenary women who went south. Lawrence allowed them to come and take away some after the banquet. Only ten people were allowed to come at a time.

As the janitor of the church, Umu can naturally eat these leftovers.

Next to Um there was a big dog looking eagerly.

The big dog's body is dark and shiny, with no trace of color visible. It is strong and healthy, quiet and elegant.

The puppy, which Um's mother Emma selected from Doug's offspring, is now a full-sized dog.

Um was eating when Tim ran over.

"Umu, my mother and I are going back."

"Okay!" Wumu put down the bowl and looked at her sister, her mouth full of oil and water.

"I'm leaving." Tim quickly left with his two friends.

Wumu quickly continued to pick up the food in the bowl. After eating, he poured the leftover food into the wooden basin at the feet of the big dog.

The big dog quickly lowered his head to eat. As the watchdog of the church, the watchdog named Hayate has always performed very well. He doesn't like to bark during the day, but will quickly bark when someone approaches at night.

Umu is still very young and not very strong. Emma hopes that Umu will be a caretaker for the rest of his life.

The job of a janitor is easy and comfortable. There is no need to work in the fields or fight on the battlefield.

Although he was a little cowardly and evasive, Umu was serving his master and the church, so not having to go to the battlefield was something allowed by God.

The church takes care of food and housing, and the kind master will also reward you with some clothes and daily necessities. This is already very good.

Emma also feels that Umu is a bit useless, so he just needs to marry a woman in the future, otherwise he won't be able to raise too many women.

After the family left, Umu quickly took the full Hayate to the door to rest.

There are now three gatekeepers, one is Umu and the other two are the families of the victims of the last expedition.Because it was not his time to be on duty, Wumu took Hayate to the steps near the Colossus and sat down, quietly basking in the sun.

Just after resting for more than ten minutes, I heard the wind roaring.

Wu Mu quickly stood up and grabbed the wind. Looking in the direction of the wind, he saw a foreigner and a long-haired dog.

Hall Longlegs came over with his dog.

"Hello little one, is this your dog? He looks great."

Hall came over to say hello to Um and then looked at Um's dog.

Umu still remembered the stranger, stood up and said: "I remember you!"

"You are the foreigner who sold mutton last year!" Um pointed out Hall's identity.

Hall didn't remember Umu, only Crowfeather Seer and another little girl at that time.

"I'm Hall, and this is my friend Starlian, or Talian."

Talian sat quietly on the ground and looked here.

Umu liked this dog very much when he saw it, "Hello, I am Umu, and this is my dog, Hayate!"

Hall exclaimed: "Blast? It's a good name. Does it run very fast?"

"Yes! Gale is very fast and smart. His father is a very powerful snow dog!" Um happily praised Gale.

Hall smiled and looked around again.

"I'm bringing my family here to sell some eggs and wool this time. Do you know where to buy these?"

Wumu took the initiative to help, "Follow me, our church should need these, I'll ask the nun."

"Okay!" Hall quickly turned around and called his family over.

After the weather got hot, a lot of wool was harvested from the sheep, and the chickens at home also started laying eggs.

Hall and his family were reluctant to use these things and specially exchanged them for food, needlework and thread.

Recently, a lot of eggs were used in the church's banquet, and the remaining eggs had to be distributed to many people. So after learning that someone was selling eggs at a low price, Brielle happily accepted the eggs and wool.

Umu enthusiastically handed the money bag to Hall and told Hall how to use the copper coins to buy food and needlework.

With Um's help, the Hall family completed the deal ahead of schedule.

"Thank you, little guy." Hall looked at Umu and Hayate, who was as black as a wolf king, and said proactively: "Your dog has not been trained, and there are no parents to teach it various hunting and running skills."

"In return for your help, I can let Talian show it a demonstration. I think it can learn this easily."

Um said excitedly: "Okay, thank you very much!"

Hall smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's my luck to be able to teach this kind of dog. Some animals will become the same as their ancestors in ancient times. This kind of dog is not only similar in size, but also has strong wild instincts."

"I heard that you have a big smart wild boar here. I think that pig must have awakened the bloodline of its ancestors."

Wumu showed a strange expression, "You are talking about Pige. Piglets and piglets born from sows are ordinary wild boars, not big wild boars."

Hall thinks this is normal, "This awakened bloodline will not be passed on to the next generation. Anyway, your dog has not fully grown up yet. When it truly grows up, it will become a very powerful dog king."

Umu thought of something and said quickly: "This dog was sent by my mother to accompany me, but I am the master's slave, and it is the master's dog. I want to tell the master about the strong wind quickly, and now I will tell the nun first grown ups."

Hall thought the dog belonged to the child, but he didn't expect it to be the lord's.

But this is indeed a normal thing. How could a child raise this dog so well? It seems that this dog grew up by eating meat all day long, otherwise it would not have such beautiful fur.

Umu quickly ran into the monastery with the wind and told Brielle what Hall said.

Brielle didn't expect the strong wind to be so strong, so she said: "I will tell the master tomorrow. Now you take that Hall to the sheepfold to rest and let him wait for the master."

"Yes, Sister Nun." Um exited happily and went to find Hall who was waiting at the Colossus.

Hall asked his family to go back first and followed Umu to the sheepfold.

The sheepfold was a resting place for the merchants' livestock, and Umu found an empty room for dry hay.

"Is it okay here? I will bring you bread and water later."

"Okay, this is very good." Hall looked at this place, "It looks very comfortable here."

Although there is some smell of sheep dung and cow dung, the sheep pen is free, so for most travelers it’s not too bad.

It would be wonderful if you were in charge of food.

While it was still dark, Hall began to tell Umu how to take care of the dog and how to train the dog around him to become a good dog with keen responses.

Whether it is reconnaissance, hunting, search and sledding, Gale has excellent qualifications to become a leading dog.
