forest kingdom

At first, Lawrence received a letter from Bull saying that Yu Bao was sick and quickly asked someone to prepare medicine, and asked Oak City to take care of Yu Bao.

A day later, I received a letter saying that the situation there was much better, so I felt relieved and continued to stay.

After a few days, both Yubao and Lana recovered, and like most children in this era, they carried it on their own.

Having enough food is still the best guarantee for stably increasing the population, and is more effective than many medical technologies.

After eating enough, a healthy body can resist various diseases.

This is true for both children and young people. Only the elderly are gradually aging due to digestive problems. Coupled with many illnesses, eating alone can no longer solve the problem.

While Lawrence continued to work on the design of bridges and machinery at Snow Mountain Castle, Bull conveyed the opinions of the nuns here.

"It's troublesome."

Lawrence looked at Bull's letter and knew that this time the matter was serious.

Lana's existence has already affected the nuns at the Harbor Convent.

Sophia was designing a gear crane in the desk near Lawrence. After hearing this, she raised her head and looked at Lawrence.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"There is a little trouble at the monastery, I will take charge of it."

Sophia quickly continued busy with her own affairs, and she was not interested in government affairs.

Lawrence was unwilling to discuss this matter in depth with Sophia and the others.

I am usually willing to share various things, but I don’t want to talk too much about this time.

The group of nuns are actually a group of miserable people who have dedicated their entire lives to the monastery.

The outside world thinks that their lives are happy and stable, but this is all Lawrence's own assistance. Most of the nuns joined after they became adults, and they all know what the real world is like.

The convent is the final home for the nuns.

Many people left their original families, their parents and relatives, their husbands and children to join here.

The female priest Hela is infertile, so she has to join a monastery if she wants to have someone to rely on. She will die a violent death whether she gets married or remains single.

The same is true for Ulla and Countess Olaua. The only way out for a helpless woman is the monastery.

No matter how powerful you are when you are young, as long as you are human you will age and become powerless.

All animals in the wild will be eaten, whether they are george bears, lions, or bison. Most of them end up not dying of illness, but being eaten alive when they are too weak to run or bite.

Such is the nature of the world, most animals that eat meat are eaten alive.

Open the belly and eat from the softest part.

Among the nobles and commoners of this world, sick old people die quickly and are not properly cared for.

When they lose the ability to work, they are not cared for but abused.

This may still be a very good development, and it is a treatment that only nobles can have.

Normally, the property and house owned by the head of the family before this will be occupied by his sons and outsiders.

When the son becomes strong and powerful, the disposal rights of the family's house and livestock have actually been naturally transferred from the old man to the strong child.

The civilization of the Kingdom of Stars relies on giving, and whoever gives will gain status.

The sacrifice of the soldiers was to fight. This group of people had no idea of ​​letting Lawrence provide for them in old age. They were still accustomed to following the previous traditional understanding.

When a warrior has no strength and cannot fight, that is when he loses his right to speak.

Therefore, the older the barbarian men are in their thirties and forties, the more instinctively they will drink and fight, especially showing their violence in front of women and children.

The craftsmen are much better, they have understood that their value is not to fight with others, but to work.

Work lasts longer than fighting. You can continue to work even in your fifties and sixties, continue to control the family with a generous salary, and continue to exist as the head of the family.

If you are that kind of technician, or a consul who relies on experience and knowledge to manage, then you can die in bed just like a noble.

The problem of the nuns is different from that of most people. They are a smaller group and need more recognition from everyone.

They need not only the recognition of the monastic community, but also the recognition of the outside world.

What is necessary to maintain the existence of this group is loyalty.

Only by constant devotion, coupled with external perception and image issues that may not be understood by everyone at present, can we continue to maintain the impression of the nuns in front of the public and maintain the self-perception of the nuns.

If there are no constraints and rules similar to loyalty, then anyone can join the monastery and treat the monastery as a hotel or tavern. They can come and leave as they please, even if they don't take the nuns' rules seriously. It is destructive to the whole group if they do not revere the masters of the nuns.

The old nuns can clearly see what's wrong with Lana, and they believe that Lana's presence will bring misfortune.

This is a feeling, as well as an experience summary and cognition.

If it is in a peaceful society, there is probably a person among the civil servants who behaves casually towards the leadership, often lies and is lazy and does not like to work and study.

Even if this young man is highly valued by the senior leaders, the junior leaders of the department do not want this person to stay.

If the small leader of this department is responsible for a relatively majestic and solemn image department, then there will be no room for the existence of such anomalies.

The nuns in the convent all knew about Lawrence's love for Lana, but even so, these older nuns who were loyal to Lawrence still wanted Lawrence to know about it.

Lawrence knew very well that this matter had to be resolved, and he couldn't help but sigh for Lana in his heart.

The monastery is also Lana's home...

Lana has always regarded the monastery as a warm home. She grew up in the monastery for most of her life. She watched the monastery gradually transform from a small house into a large courtyard, and watched as groups of people moved into the palaces. .

Lawrence took up his pen and wrote.

Dear Bull, I have received your letter. Lana's problem is indeed serious.

I would not give up on every nun. Lana, like the rest of the nuns in the convent, was unwilling to leave the convent, which was her home.

Lana's main problem is that she doesn't listen to what others say.

Regardless of the punishment and education from you or other nuns, she always quickly forgets it. She also cannot listen to the conversations her peers have with her.

Her main problem is not a brain problem, but a stagnation in her thinking. No one has ever told her that everything she has is not what it should be, and she also lacks correct self-understanding.

Let Yu Bao continue to recuperate in the monastery, and let the familiar fisherman take care of Yu Bao.

Let Lana go to Kuhl Village and live for a month in the village where her parents lived. She would work with the children there every day, eat with the old people, sleep with unmarried women or orphans and widows, and sleep with them when it snows. Let her come back again. If Yu Bao is unwilling to separate from Lana, give this letter of faith to Yu Bao. If Yu Bao also wants to stay together, you can agree.

If Lana's performance is still so bad, then let her and Yubao go to the Western Wave Island to become nuns in the monastery there.

***
At the Harbor Monastery, Bull called several old nuns and representatives of aristocratic nuns, as well as Yubao who was being held by the fisherman, and read out Lawrence's reply.

Yubao suddenly became depressed and lowered his head in a low voice, not looking at anyone else.

It cannot write or speak, but it has been able to understand what others say a long time ago, and over the years it has been able to accurately understand various meanings.

In fact, Yubao can also feel Lana's problem.

The problem was Lana, not Yubao. Yubao had always respected the prophet, never lied to the prophet, and worked very hard.

The fish that I usually eat are my own share of the fish that I give away, and I don’t take more of the prophet’s share of fish.

Yubao has a strong sense of territory and distribution. Like most barbarians, he has the traditional understanding of handing over part of the loot.

On the contrary, Lana was too well protected and too lazy to make progress, which led to today's situation.

"This is the prophet's will, but you are allowed to express your opinions. The prophet also hopes that we will resolve this matter internally."

The noble nun said: "This is good. The prophet's decision is the best decision."

The old nun also said: "Lana is a nun in the monastery. If she is driven away, the other children will become obedient. But if she can stay, it will also show the kindness of the prophet. This is good. I hope Lana That foolish boy could realize the greatness of the prophet."

Seeing that the other nuns agreed to this arrangement, Bull sent Tasna to implement the prophet's arrangement.

If it had been another convent, the nuns in question would have been kicked out long ago.

But the kind-hearted Lawrence took into account the stability issue that many nuns in the convent were most concerned about, and chose education, trying not to move Lana elsewhere, and not creating the first case of expelling nuns from the convent.

As Lawrence's number one believer, Tasna is disgusted with those who disrespect the prophet, but she can't hate Lana either.

"Can't you just tell her about this and let her come over to know the prophet's kindness to her?"

Even Yubao and the nearby fisherwomen could hear Lana's treatment here, but Lana was the only one who didn't know what happened to her.

Bull looked at Tasna.

"That child only refutes and admits her mistakes. It's not clear where she really went wrong."

"It is not a good thing for her to let her listen to what we do to her here. She cannot refute this kind of thing."

"The monastery has monastic rules. We are helping Lana now. The prophet's decision is the most correct decision."

Tasna nodded quickly, "Yes, Lord Bull, the guidance of the prophet is the oracle."

Bull was well aware that Lawrence was not always right.

But what about others?

Bull felt that whether it was him or others, even the person involved this time, Lana, was the same. If Lana could choose the right path by herself, there would be no punishment today.

Lana's problem is not just a day or two, nor is it just because she pretends to be sick that she offends everyone.

She has had this temperament since she was a child. It doesn't matter if she doesn't work hard or study hard. The most important thing is that she doesn't take the prophet whom everyone respects seriously. She always wanders around the monastery with that careless expression.

If it weren't for the blessing of the prophet, this child would have received a few severe beatings and learned fear through pain.

Because of Lawrence's blessing, the other nuns usually found it difficult to teach her a lesson, and she accumulated a lot of problems.

Bull and the other nuns usually tried to persuade Lana to pay attention, but Lana never listened.

Persuasion and education are not suitable for the land of ice. People here have no memory unless they are beaten and suffer pain.

Seravan had been beaten since he was a child, and Luke broke out because he thought he had indirectly killed his father. Later, he also developed a memory during battles and would kill anyone with a weapon, regardless of right or wrong.

Including Salil and Delenn, many people here are very stubborn.

Delen has been obedient since being beaten, but Salil has never fought with Lawrence. Lawrence doesn't want to change Salil's nature, so he has always been like that.

After poor Lana was sent to the village of Kuhl by bullock cart for training, Yubao moved into Bull's house, and Bull taught and took care of the little guy.

the other side of the mountain

Lawrence also realized his problem.

Over the years, I have gradually developed my own comfort zone, so I have become accustomed to many problems and do not want to change.

Whether it's Lana's matter or the many people and things around her, it's all because of my own adaptation and habits, and I don't want them to change anything.

Even if there is a problem, it feels okay.

For example, witches have become accustomed to their bad personalities over the years, and have never asked them to change, let alone severely criticized them on such matters.

There are many similar things. Because nothing happened, I don’t want to change.

"Sigh." Lawrence sighed at his laziness. "Fortunately, I know how to advance the process of civilization and inject vitality into the development of productivity and production relations. Generally speaking, it is not a big problem."

Lawrence lay on the bed, reaching out to grasp the invisible air, as if grasping the world.

"As long as people live, it's okay. As long as there is a direction, no matter how bad it is, it can't be any worse."

"I have solved the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and I have also secured a better grip on the military. I am already better than many people." Lawrence put down his arms, turned around and lay down with his legs curled up. "It's so tiring. I also want to be a child who never grows up. There is an adult who always takes care of me.”

But since I came here more than ten years ago, I am no longer a child.

Running for shelter, fighting for food, seeking revenge for one's own life, and robbing for a better life.

It is not wrong to create a comfort zone artificially. Anyone who has the ability will do it. Everyone wants to live more comfortably.

Lawrence also did not want to live the life of an ascetic.

"As long as this country persists for a hundred years, everything else has nothing to do with me. I don't care what future generations think of me."

Lawrence didn't change the minds of those around him, Lana's problems were her own.

If she cannot have the same beliefs as other nuns and abide by the rules and common sense that other nuns abide by, then she will definitely leave the home she does not want to leave.

Most human groups cannot tolerate aliens. A multi-ethnic country like the Land of Stars has been unifying into the Ice Bloodline, preventing certain people from being recognized as unique.

If Lana is willing to leave her hometown, Lawrence is willing to build her a monastery on the tropical seaside in the east or west, which is more suitable for her and Yubao.

No matter how you look at it, Yu Bao is a tropical sea tribe. He is still young now, but he should send people to the east and west to ask if there are any other sea tribes who are willing to come and settle down. (End of chapter)
