forest kingdom

Summer in the Ice Land is quickly coming to an end.

In the last sweltering hours, dozens of the Lawrence family ate berry shaved ice around a large oak tree.

Two little boys were fighting on the grass with wooden sticks. They didn't want to hit each other's hands and shoulders with the wooden sticks. They preferred to touch each other's wooden sticks with their own sticks, making a bang-bang sound. sound.

The battles always ended quickly, always with the older Andersen victorious.

A Grimm who has lost his weapon will soon run to Cassandra and cry.

"Green, do you want shaved ice?" Salil gave Green a spoonful of shaved ice.

"Eat." Green, who was crying, soon stopped crying. His mother was eating quietly and ignored him.

Salil began to feed Greene shaved ice, while Andersen on the other side sat on the ground and ate quietly.

Lawrence looked at his two sons. They were only quiet when they were eating.

Next to Lawrence, there was an iceberg-type beauty with long, straight black hair. Her belly had an obvious bulge, and she had obviously been pregnant for some time.

Catherine's child will be Lawrence's third child.

In addition to Catherine, there are many beautiful elf women nearby.

These elven ladies are used to the life here and the enjoyment here.

Lawrence was sitting and continuing to rest and enjoy the quiet afternoon when he felt someone approaching.

When Lawrence looked towards the entrance, he saw a dark elf female warrior walking over quickly.

"Master, there are two dark elf wizards working for us who want to see you."

Lawrence looked puzzled, "Dark elf wizard? Do we have one?"

"Forget it, let's go take a look." Lawrence helped Catherine stand up next to him and quickly walked out alone.

Salil stood up and said, "It's almost time for us to go in. Let's clean up."

Sofia put her hands on her hips and said arrogantly: "Take your own things back and don't let the maid do everything. If you can't even do this kind of thing by yourself, then it's time to exercise!"

Delen didn't say anything, took the chair he was sitting on and left.

Following Delen's action, the others followed suit and went back with their things.

Candice and Shadis took things for the hostess and the child. Although the other elves were unhappy when they saw this, they all went back with their things.

Lawrence ignored cliques among women, and some things didn't require a man's intervention.

After arriving in the reception room of the Ring Building, Lawrence met two men who were obviously wizards.

One is an older dark elf man with gray eyebrows and long hair.

One is a black elf warrior in his prime. He looks strong and powerful, but also as slovenly and unkempt as the barbarians here.

"Merciful prophet, I am Mengye, the leader of the gray elves wandering in the south. He is Aled, the leader of our remaining gray elves."

Lawrence nodded, sat down and looked at the old man.

"This is the first time I have seen an older gray elf wise man like you."

"Yes, most gray elves will not live to my age." Mengye held the crutches taller than him with both hands to maintain his balance. "As you can see, I have had some physical accidents recently, and I may not have much time. ”

Lawrence asked curiously: "What happened? You just came to my place and you encountered an accident?"

"No, we have been here for more than two years. I have spent a peaceful and prosperous two years in this God-given land."

Mengye sighed: "But the pain caused by the injuries I suffered when I was young tormented me. In these short two years, I thought this land was suitable for us gray elves to live in."

Lawrence smiled and said, "I have heard about your situation. Because of your mind control ability and the reputation of the gray elves, the outside countries do not allow you to stay in their country."

"That's true." Mengye admitted this matter, "But you, the benevolent and great, will not be afraid of these."

Lawrence would not agree to anything casually, "My kindness is not given out randomly, and not just anyone can receive my kindness."

Mengye took the initiative and said: "We have left many gray elf women in the ancient forest. If you promise to give us a place to live, we will bring them over. In addition, we have a way to find Ms. Kehalan's child Anyu." you."

Lawrence refused directly, "No need, what I lack here is not the gray elves, but maids who have received education and training."

"Grey elves don't mean much to me. I'm already training young wood elf maids. Wood elves are better than gray elves and have a better reputation."

Lawrence stood up directly, "I don't want to negotiate terms with you. You must understand that my kindness is only for my servants and people. You are trying to negotiate terms with the king here and the prophet appointed by the God of the Stars."

Aled became nervous and felt like a fight was coming.

The elder Mengye looked at Lawrence, "In this land, business is allowed."

"Yes, it is indeed allowed, so there is no need for me to show force. I simply rejected your conditions." Lawrence nodded, acknowledging and allowing Mengye to use the rules here to protect himself.

Mengye became a little more stable, "I am willing to bring all the women in the clan here. Please allow us to have a quiet place to live in Sder Town for the remaining gray elves that you despise."

Lawrence didn't want to cause trouble for future generations, "There are many places in the forest outside South Town. You can find a place to live, but it cannot be too close to other human settlements. I will give you land that you can cultivate."

Mengye didn't want to farm, "That's no different from living in the forest. Please let us live in the city, so that all of us gray elves will realize your greatness!"

Lawrence suddenly felt that what the old man said made sense. He just came out to find a way out because he didn't want to live in the forest anymore.

It's really not good to continue to let them live in the forest.

"Then first go to the village between Sider and Pig Trotter City. I have built many new villages there."

"Yes! Prophet! Thank you for your kindness!" Mengye quickly agreed.

He had lived in that area for two or three years and was very familiar with it.

Over the years, Mengye and Aled have relied on doing tasks to earn living expenses, and their followers have become accustomed to life here. Wizards are very careful in what they do. The gray elves hide their ears and identities until they are sure that this place is really suitable for habitation.

Fortunately, there are also strange humans with various foreign accents in this area, and the intelligence system is very poor. Lawrence doesn't mind these wizards continuing to hide, so they have never been exposed.

The long-term benevolent governance, as well as benevolent policies such as tax exemptions and exemptions for the people in the Sder territory, made the dark elves who were not so trusting in humans willing to believe in Lawrence.

"Then please give me a year and I will bring them here after next spring."

Hearing Mengye's words, Lawrence asked curiously: "Why did it take so long?"

"Because it's snowy in winter and we can't walk, we need to wait until the weather gets better before bringing them here." Mengye explained: "We should have more than thirty female elves."

Lawrence smiled and said: "This is not a problem. I will send someone to take you there in a car. You can reach the Southern Kingdom within a month. As long as they are not hidden too deep, I think I can definitely bring them back before Eternal Night."

"Yes, kind prophet." Mengye had no objection.

Lawrence thought for a moment, "I will give you some food, candy and clothes. With these, I should be able to better convince the women in your tribe."

Mengye and Aled quickly thanked them and waited at the foot of the mountain with the gifts from Lawrence.

A few hours later, the wizard who controlled the flame came with a cavalry team of thirty people to escort him.

Mengye and other gray elves soon embarked on the road to return home. Going back means leaving, taking the last women of the tribe to leave those wandering places forever and settle in the land given by God.

Lawrence found Kehalan and talked to Kehalan about this matter.

Kehalan was not surprised, "Those elves are not the type to live a hard life, but without power, they do not pose any threat. They are easier to control than the wood elves."

"The wood elves have abnormal brains. Even if they are educated from a young age, there will be disobedient elves. Gray elves are naturally obedient to the strong and are the most suitable maids."

Lawrence was speechless: "I don't want to hear about your training experience. Don't you have anything to say about this matter?"

Kehalan stood up, quickly sat his ass as big as a millstone on Lawrence's lap, and put one arm around Lawrence's neck.

"There's not much to say about Anyur, but I think those gray elves hiding in the forest are quite interesting."

"Why is it so interesting?" Lawrence hugged this trouble-making witch.

As more and more wizards join, Khalan's role begins to become smaller and smaller. Many of the elves who join this time can replace Khalan's job status.

But the place of family and friends can never be replaced by the elves outside.

Kohalan was thinking about the gray elves, and he felt much more relaxed when he was hugged by Lawrence. He could chat freely about whatever he wanted to say.

"The reason why those gray elf women hide in the forest is because they are afraid of being captured by wizards and human nobles as slaves, or being captured by wizards to give birth to children."

Lawrence asked curiously: "Don't all gray elves want to give birth to children for wizards?"

Kehalan explained with a smile: "It is to give birth to children for rich and powerful wizards, not for those dangerous wandering wizards, nor for poor nobles."

"Once they leave the forest, they are caught and sold as slaves, and then live a life that is even more miserable and miserable than in the forest."

"If they can live a good life like us after being captured, do you think they will still hide in the forest?"

Lawrence was not deceived and did not ignore many things, "but they and their husbands did a lot of offensive things."

"Although in the face of survival, one has to give in to one's integrity and everything else, there is nothing wrong with others taking revenge."

"That was all in the past, and it didn't offend us." Kharan didn't mind this kind of thing, "You said it yourself, no one is perfect."

Lawrence said: "That's right, I don't care about what happened before. If they come over, you and Candice will be responsible for training them. Don't let them bring in the skills of survival in the wild."

"Okay, but I don't think they are any good, especially compared to the wood elves. The value of those gray elves is only for their obedience."

Gray elves are generally not strong, especially female gray elves, who are basically somewhere between ordinary people and wizards.

There are a large number of witches among the wood elves, who are far superior to the gray elves in appearance and ability.

But it is not easy to cultivate. These elves have their own cognition. If they are not controlled by the bloodline ability of the Elf Queen, it is difficult for others to obtain their power support.

"Don't rush this kind of thing, just take your time."

Lawrence stood up and allowed Kohalan to get off him.

"I won't bother with Anyur's matter. You can handle it yourself." Lawrence said proactively: "Let's go to the practice room to spar. I feel that you have lacked exercise recently and have gained weight on your belly."

"Is it true?" Kharan touched his abdomen, "It is indeed not as tight as before."

"You are still very young, and you have not even finished one third of your life." Lawrence comforted: "Recently, many things have been handed over to others, and you have more time to lie down, rest, taste delicious food, and occasionally You should also find something to do for yourself.”

Kehalan trusted Lawrence's words, "That's true. In addition to training those witches, I will also spend some time exercising and studying plastic surgery."

Lawrence became interested, "Is there really such witchcraft as changing one's appearance?"

"Of course there are, and many witches have them." Kehalan smiled evilly, "Most of the witches you meet are young witches and elves. In fact, there are many witches in the Southern Kingdom who like to dress up as little girls. Seducing knights and nobles."

It’s not difficult to understand this bad taste. Women just deceive themselves and use their disguised appearance to make fun of others and judge others by their appearance.

"Would it be possible to deceive a wizard?"

"No, you will die."

After saying this, Kehalan looked at Lawrence and said helplessly, "Maybe they will not die if they deceive you. If they meet other wizards, when they disguise themselves as young witches and get close to them, they will be in danger of becoming corpses."

Lawrence didn't want to be thought that he was easy to bully or deceive.

"Cheating me is also a felony. I may have shown too much kindness recently, causing many wizards and witches to forget what I have done."

Seeing that the topic had turned to a more serious issue, Kharan smiled and said: "Let's go to the gym. First go to the ground to practice, and then go to bed, or just directly on the ground?"

"Okay." Lawrence nodded and agreed with a calm smile. (End of chapter)
