forest kingdom

It's October of the 10th year of the New Calendar, and it's cold winter.

Lawrence's second child, a child with pure blood, was born.

The second child was also a boy, whom Lawrence named Green.

Green's arrival did not bring about any changes, nor did it affect most people in the castle. Most of the time, the dark elves and Cassandra were still taking care of the child.

Lawrence doesn't need to wash diapers or take care of the children, and still has a lot of time to do his own things every day.

Cassandra was not affected at all. She almost recovered after having a hearty meal after giving birth, and her figure quickly returned to what it was before pregnancy within a few days.

After giving birth to the child, Cassandra behaved like Delenn. She had a connection with the child and could accurately know the child's location, but she did not take care of the child like a human mother. More At that time, I was still busy with eating and managing the maid.

The war brought astonishing wealth, and the wealth and treasures plundered from the wealth of the ancient church dazzled Cassandra and other witches who had seen the world.

Before the arrival of Evernight, people sent some of their livestock further south of Nan Town, or dragged them along the glacier to Feiyu Port in the west.

Coal ships also arrived at Dumu Port from the Kingdom of Gran. These ships usually hauled coal for craftsmen's workshops. During the cold winter, they would specially haul a batch of loose coal for residents.

The vast rural areas have taken a break, but the lively towns and port areas are still bustling with activity.

A large number of ships approach every day, and people speaking various languages ​​come from all over the world.

Pumexiu Town, Fire Tavern.

This is the second tavern in Pumixiu Town. The first tavern was once run by Ai Ali. Later, a few months after Ai Ali married a young Durila man, Lawrence replaced him with another Durila woman. Take over the Pumiceau Tavern.

The second tavern is also Lawrence's tavern, and is managed by the son and daughter-in-law of the old knight Turaka. Turaka's daughter-in-law used to work at Lawrence's house before, when Lawrence was still living in the cave.

The old knight Tulaka is still strong and strong, and serves as the village chief of the Southern Black Goat Tribe. However, his son's family does not like it there, nor does they like the poor and hard work of the territorial farm. When Lawrence found out, he asked them to manage the tavern. After two years of operation, he found that Keep their jobs when you can.

The previous tavern could no longer accommodate too many people. The current town of Pumixiu was no longer the small town of more than 300 people at the time. The population had reached a terrifying 70,000 people.

The previous Luofen Kingdom had only over 100,000 people.

The town's population is still growing rapidly. Lawrence has strictly prohibited the influx of people starting this year, and is gradually moving some incompetent people elsewhere.

Priority will be given to retaining the group of people who have endured hardship together, followed by officers, soldiers, craftsmen, and capable people, such as some people who have come from outside in recent years, who will be prioritized elsewhere to make room for more newborns. space.

The Fire Tavern was bustling with people, and there were not many empty seats left.

Suliman and Bobo walked into the tavern, opened the curtain and looked around to find a suitable seat.

Just when he was about to let others give way to him, Suliman saw an acquaintance.

"Viscount Crete, haha, I didn't expect to see Viscount Crete here. Do you want to come to my house for a drink?"

Suliman walked over quickly and extended an invitation to Crete.

Crete was drinking with several men. After hearing Suliman's words, he sat there and said with a smile: "It's Baron Suliman. I'm already drinking. You can go to Fleiss and the others. They seem to be Drinking at another pub.”

Suleiman and Fleiss can't hang out together, but because they belong to the fleet system, they can chat with the Valkyries who are in the same fleet system.

Fleiss is not good at naval battles, and he does not have the talent for commanding and commanding naval battles. He fights with the strongest, but now the prophet does not allow the general to be so reckless.

In addition, Lawrence did not directly participate in the war this time. Fleiss and others were sent to the border army in turns to assist in defense for a few months before returning without any credit.

The main tasks of the navy are to transport military supplies, escort ships and eliminate pirates. They usually run around in coastal areas and may not see them every month or two.

The once luxurious fleet composed of various top professions was split into many small teams due to lack of demand. Suliman is now responsible for a cruise fleet to patrol the waters of Durila and Wave Province.

Crete and other Valkyries are mainly responsible for the eastern sea area, and are responsible for guarding the sea areas over Valkyrie and Pig Trotter City.

Because they had fought side by side and were responsible for work in different areas but with the same content, Sulieman was very polite to his colleague with a higher title.

After sitting down, Sulieman quickly started chatting.

"Is Lady Olaua, the Countess of the Ice Monastery, here too?" Suliman asked about something everyone knew.

Critter said casually: "Your Excellency, the Count, went to see the prophet, and Keda's sister Fuo was also with him. I don't know if he can be recognized by the prophet."

Koda, a young man sitting next to him, said: "My sister has great respect for His Majesty the Prophet and is already able to study at the Saint's College!"

Suleiman knew Koda and knew that Koda was a young man from Countess Olaua's family and had pure berserker blood.

Countess Olua is not only in charge of Valkyrie's monastery, but also serves as the priest of the Ice Church.

In addition to the political and military aspects of Ice Port being managed by Beow, most other things are managed by the Countess, including Crete and the other Valkyrie nobles who are more willing to listen to the Countess.

Now Valkyrie belongs to the Kingdom of the Stars, and the Countess also belongs to Lawrence, and the Countess is the Count Valkyrie appointed by Lawrence.

Beow is a baron and Seravan is a viscount. Most of the titles in the Kingdom of Stars are currently very low, and there is a lot of room for advancement. Suliman and Bobo left quickly, and both of them looked very bad after going out.

"These are hateful..." Suliman lowered his voice, still not daring to say anything more.

Bobo looked around and whispered: "That group of people have always looked down on us. I think we should apply with His Majesty the Prophet to go back to the Waves Province, where we can have women if we want them, and have fine wines if we want fine wines."

Suliman looked at Bobo indifferently, "Do you really think so?"

Bobo shrank his neck, "Of course not, but what else can I do? Of course I also know that it is better here. After I went back, I looked at the sea every day, and was woken up by the wet and sticky sea breeze every day, and there were... Dirty and smelly woman.”

Sulieman was mainly angry because Crete refused to go to his home for dinner and felt very humiliated.

Although he has several wives and a group of children at home, Suliman does not want to be said that he eats with his wife and children every day.

But Fleiss's group didn't invite him to dinner, and he invited those people to dinner, but they didn't accept it. As a result, Suliman could only go out to drink with Bobo every now and then.

Pumexiu Town itself is a relatively rough area, and most people here have their own gangs. Fries also has a group of fellow villagers, and he does not want to casually accept outsiders into his small group.

Even Gris, who looks stupid, is actually the leader of a village tribe, and he also has a group of younger brothers who can fight.

Suliman and Bobo were supposed to be able to gather the power of the Kingdom of Waves, but the pirates were dispersed and distributed elsewhere soon after they were accepted by the two. The pirates who wanted to change their minds did not want to mix with the wretched Bobo.

Suleiman was born into a poor family, fought bravely and had fighting wisdom, but lacked wisdom outside of combat. He could not clearly see his own problems without anyone reminding him.

Without the support of a group of brave brothers and cronies, it is difficult for a single person to reach a higher status no matter how brave he is.

Beow has the assistance of Lawrence's direct troops. He comes from a good background and is a child raised by Lawrence. He has also followed Seravan in various cities and dealt with various people. He has prestige in the army.

Feeling that he was too lonely, Suliman was drinking alone at home. Suddenly, an idea came to his confused mind, and he thought of a person who had been in the limelight.

Dalaos, a general born as a slave.

Suleiman's impression of this man was that he was a talent selected by the prophet Lawrence, and was placed in the army to be familiar with the rules of the army.

Because most of the people here were slaves, this man's status as a slave was not taken seriously.

Everyone's impression of him is not that of a slave, but of a follower who was sold to the Kingdom of the Stars along with Heidi.

The main reason Suleiman remembered this man was that he had provided advice when attacking the Kingdom of Io a few years ago. However, the Kingdom of Io later killed the envoy and angered the prophet, and the prophet directly ordered the destruction of the country to leave the land.

Because there is no credit, I don’t know where to go in the future.

Sulieman quickly remembered this and went to sleep.

A few days later, I suddenly remembered this matter and went to inquire about it.

After all, Suliman was a senior general and one of his own recognized by Lawrence, so the school had no intention of keeping him a secret.

"Laodas, he was sent by the prophet to manage the province of Gran. He took over Seravan's work for more than a year. Since the prophet didn't ask him to come back, it means he did a good job."

Suliman was stunned when he heard this. He thought this was a warrior who was as underappreciated as himself, but he didn't expect that he was much more powerful than him.

Suliman soon went home to drink alone again. He did not let his wife and son near his house, so he drank wine and ate vegetables alone.

The good news is that prophets don’t ignore talent and always know who is better.

The bad news is that he doesn't get the prophet's attention.

The age of sailing ships will eventually pass...

Suleiman's era passed too quickly. His technique of manipulating sail ropes was very dazzling at a certain period, but it was eventually outdated.

There are not many years left before the era of steamships, and now is the moment when Suleiman can finally show off his abilities.

But the terrible thing is that Lawrence doesn't want to fight. The time when Sulieman can best display his skills should be during the naval battle with Pig Trotter City.

It's a pity that it was Andrew and Beoff's home field at that time. In addition, he was not fully integrated into the group at that time, so he didn't know that that battle was the peak moment when he could best display his skills.

If you miss it, you miss it.

Now Suliman is in a better place than before. He has become a baronet that he never dreamed of before. He has several beautiful wives and a group of children. He also lives in a big house and can drink and eat without worry every day. Meat.

What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

But Sulieman, who was drinking sullenly, was indeed very disappointed.

Perhaps when the steamship appears, this man who can't figure out why he was ignored will suddenly understand everything. (End of chapter)
