forest kingdom

Summer is the season when we do laundry most frequently.

After Lawrence returned from the manor monastery, he convened a meeting of the witches in the castle.

After all the witches arrived, Lawrence found that most of the female elves were wearing sexy underwear, some were wearing swimsuits or lingerie similar to towels.

"Why are you all dressed so coolly?"

Lawrence asked casually, feeling helpless and emotional, but he couldn't get angry.

Sophia smiled and said, "I thought it was a party!"

Salier didn't have such bad intentions, and earnestly made excuses for everyone, "The weather is too hot, so it's normal to wear less."

Deren laughed and said, "It's not warm in our castle at all. It's a bit cold when the wind blows, especially when Dana is here."

Dana, who was sitting not far away, didn't mind the joke. She was very satisfied with the life here and had a low level of aggressiveness. She became more peaceful after coming here.

Now Dana's main task is to help the female students in the school understand the existence of witchcraft, and at the same time let each witch understand and use their own witchcraft, so that they can better restrain and utilize this gift.

Despite her strength, Dana is a scholar and educator by nature.

The one who was aggressive was Divkris, but generally the others didn't bother with this arrogant female elf.

Salier boasted, "I am neither cold nor hot in this outfit. This dress and this crown Lawrence gave me are very beautiful!"

Lawrence raised his hand and said, "Be quiet for a moment. Let me directly state the purpose of this meeting. I hope everyone can work together to help research a drug that can make clothes cleaner."

"It's like the soap we use every day, but it can also be a solid powder, or a liquid shampoo or other cleaning product."

“By mixing it with water, it agitates and removes the dirt from your clothes.”

"The principle of cleaning dirt from clothes is to remove the dirt from the clothes. Everyone has seen the production process of our clothes. Clothes are made up of strands of wool, and each strand of wool is made up of strands of silk."

"The dirt is actually attached to the fibers of the wool. We can remove some of it with our hands because the rice and meat are too big, but some tiny things will get stuck on the clothes and stick to the gaps on the surface."

"I need an active agent. It's not alive, but it can move dirt. It has the function of lubricating water and clothes, and it also has the characteristics of melting grease and dirt."

Lawrence explained the specific principles to the witches. Only when the witches understood what laundry detergent was could they make this thing.

Difkris was sitting in the front row listening to the lecture. She came there for the party. Even though there was no chance of her getting pregnant, she was still happy to do it in order to gain the same glory and status as the queen.

"Master, I don't understand." Difkris raised her hand and asked the master to look at her more.

Lawrence looked at the female elf with the cutting ability.

Difkris's ability is cutting, which allows her to easily cut people and trees into many pieces.

When Stella wanted to take them outside to rebuild the elven village, this noble female elf, who had experienced the superior life in Snowberg Castle but was unable to enjoy it, was driven crazy.

Stella couldn't defeat the noble elf, so she tactfully obeyed him, thus avoiding the death of most of the elves.

In front of Lawrence, the elf noble showed a servility and obedience that Lawrence had never imagined, and successfully became one of Lawrence's female slaves.

In addition to cutting, Difkris's abilities also include controlling the wind and releasing sound waves, making her a very dangerous combat witch.

But she was very afraid of fighting. Apart from bullying the incompetent lower elves, she was afraid of other wizards and did not dare to fight at all. She treated the powerful Lawrence like a dog seeing its master, wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

Lawrence knew many of Difkris's shortcomings, but they were not disadvantages to him. Difkris also used her cutting ability to help Heidi build a steam engine, saving a lot of manpower and material resources.

In the early days of the industrial age, having a precise metal cutting machine was definitely a great help.

"What don't you understand? Tell me, and I'll explain it to you again."

Lawrence encouraged Difkris to speak out her problems. Only by speaking out what she didn't understand could she get help from others and explain the problem clearly.

Divkris stood up and said seriously, "What I don't understand is... why do we have to wash clothes? When our clothes get torn and dirty, can't we just replace them with new ones?"

Lawrence:…

The other elves looked at this side in surprise.

Some elves think that Difkris has a mental problem.

Some elves also think that what Difkris said is right!

Stella is one of those people who thinks that Divkris is mentally ill.

"Divkris! How can you say such stupid things? I can't imagine that such stupid things come from the mouths of our upper elves!"

Stella stood up and reprimanded the upper elf on behalf of the lower elves.

Among the hundreds of witches in the conference room, most were female elves, with only a small number of human witches and female students, as well as female warriors and maids.

As soon as Stella finished speaking, Oroda stood up and refuted.

"I think what Difkris said is right! Since we joined here and became slaves of the great master, new clothes will be delivered to us every two weeks."

"Whether it is beautiful clothes or gorgeous jewelry, we can get these rewards from the kind master, relying on our loyalty and hard work."

"We are hardworking elves, not as lazy as you elves in the mountains and woods, who wear the same clothes for more than ten years! They are dirty and smelly!"

Stella's face turned red. "Don't lie! I have never worn the same clothes for more than ten years. Even in the forest, I would wear two clothes to change!"

Divkris said disdainfully: "I don't want to tell you your forest story. I live very well with my master. Look at my beautiful clothes. Have you ever seen such soft fabrics? Have you ever worn them? They are very comfortable!"

"You lowly elves definitely don't know how many beautiful clothes the master gave me! I can't even remember them all, because my closet can only hold a hundred pieces, and I threw away the extra ugly ones!"

Lawrence originally wanted to gather everyone to discuss the laundry detergent issue, but now this group of witches are not discussing the laundry detergent issue, but even whether it is necessary to do the laundry in public.

It was Lawrence's mistake to let these witches live a good life too early.

By this time Lawrence had realized his problem.

It's too much... Although it sounds a bit harsh, the current problem is that after the witches have enjoyed a superior life, their innovative thinking and enthusiasm at work have rapidly dropped to freezing point.

It is definitely not possible to cut the rewards now. For example, if we reduce the welfare benefits of Difkris, this female elf will definitely become depressed and go crazy.

Lawrence stood up and looked around at the shocked expressions on the faces of the nearby female elves. These originally ignorant female elves learned about the existence of another class because of the quarrel between Difkris and Stella.

"The meeting is adjourned! I will be resting in the castle for the next ten days. If anyone can come up with useful laundry tools during this time, I will let her live the same life as Difkris!"

"We can work together, but we are forbidden to mess with each other! I will treat the useful women and elves well!"

Lawrence looked at Divkris again, "I'm letting you live a good life, not to let you quarrel with other elves! Your task is to serve me well. If your smart brain can also think of something useful to me, I will slap your big ass hard a few times! ”

Divkris quickly tightened her legs, "Yes! Master!!"

With Lawrence's high reward, a research boom soon emerged.

Even Salil dragged Deren and Emma to figure out how to wash clothes cleanly.

Sariel was just interested in this kind of thing and didn't need any extra rewards.

But Tim and Lolita took it very seriously, and the three of them soon gathered around the kitchen sink to discuss how to do the laundry.

The laundry craze spread from mistresses and maids to witches, and then to warrior women and women outside.

Nuns and international students from all over the world, as well as priests and craftsmen, also began to study this issue.

The need for laundry exists in all walks of life. Because the work is different, the main materials for dirty clothes are different, and the cleaning methods are also varied.

Some are washed by water, some by the sea.

When sailors go on long voyages, they will wrap their clothes and tie them tightly with ropes, then use the impact of the water flow to carry away the dirt and sweat stains inside. However, the quality of many clothes is not good enough, and it is easy for only a rope to be left at the end.

The traditional way of washing clothes in the Ice Land is to wash them with water, and then scrape them with a knife when you have nothing to do.

In the past, most people wore animal skins, and the food they ate was poor, so the dirt they encountered was basically dust and dirt.

If animals can clean things, humans can do it too.

Also, in the past, people didn’t care much about cleanliness. As long as the clothes were wearable, it didn’t matter whether they were clean or not.

With the improvement of the times and living standards, under the call of Lawrence, the merchants and nobles in Dum Port and Pumice Town also began to pay attention to this matter.

The Land of Ice is home to the thinkers and inventors of this era.

The business atmosphere here, the respect for knowledge by all the people, the integration of efforts over more than a decade, and the great prestige of the Prophet, led to the early arrival of the first R&D boom.

Heidi's steam engine, Sophia's windup clock, and the witch war in the South did not trigger the craze. Instead, it was the seemingly unimportant laundry incident that ignited the craze.

People began to use various methods to wash clothes, even take a bath and wash their hair.

Because dirty clothes are gone once they are washed, and you can also wash your face and hair at the same time.

Because they put on clean clothes, they suddenly felt that they should tidy up their hair and shoes, which indirectly promoted the hygiene habits of some people.

There is a difference in mentality when wearing clean clothes and dirty clothes.

A woman should put on beautiful clothes and go out for a walk even if she has nothing to do.

These are just ordinary women. For the more materialistic witches, the words of Difkris and Oroda made them unable to calm down for a long time.

They are all female elves and pure-blooded witches. Who can't dance and shake their buttocks like Devix?

Why can Divchris live a life with a hundred beautiful dresses, but we have to wear one dress per season?

When in the forest, most elves actually lived separately, and there were actually not many elves in one village.

The elves at that time were indifferent to class and aristocratic life. Everyone took care of themselves and occasionally handed over some food and medicinal materials to the outside world. This was roughly how they lived for many, many years.

Even though they had lived together for all these years, they were all prisoners, and they exchanged food and stability for satisfying the animal desires of Lawrence, the barbarian king.

Everyone endured it for the sake of food and clothing, but in fact not many elves were willing to do that kind of thing.

But after being awakened by the words of Oroda and Divkris today, the witches, who were not stupid, quickly realized the huge difference here!
The Queen, Oroda, Divchris and the others twisted their waists and hips for Lawrence every day, and in return they gained benefits that no one knew about!

The kingdom of elves had been razed to the ground long ago. Except for Stella, the other female elves never thought that the kingdom of elves still existed, nor did they think that the queen was still a queen.

Fortunately, Lawrence gave all witches a way to live a good life and extinguished the flames of class struggle.

Otherwise, the awakened witches will only bring destruction and fighting instead of solving problems.

Their destruction and fighting will bring bad consequences. In order to avoid more serious consequences, the rulers will compromise and appease such groups after dealing with some of the troublemakers.

But what are the demands of these witches? The demand that every witch live a good life is difficult to achieve.

Unrealistic demands will only bring more destruction and hatred.

Lawrence understood the trouble of such matters, so he still strictly adhered to the doctrine of more work, more pay, and required other people and witches to use their wisdom and labor to improve their own class and live a good life.

Without hard work and excellent qualities such as knowledge, loyalty, and wisdom, you are definitely not qualified to get more.

The trouble caused by Difkris also made Lawrence realize that he could no longer blindly improve the quality of life of the witches, otherwise these witches would quickly see themselves and other people as two different creatures.

Although this ideology existed before, what bothered Lawrence the most was the difference in thought.

The witches of the past just had a different way of thinking. They still looked at problems from the most fundamental aspects of interests, animality, and human nature.

Those ways of thinking that are not bound by morality and unnecessary emotions are immoral, but they also really go straight to the heart of the matter.

It’s different now. Not only is it immoral, but it’s also becoming more and more extreme and violent.

If the witches' way of thinking is very different from that of ordinary people due to their material level, then these witches will lose their ability to govern the country and become a group of sows and dogs who can only eat, drink, bark and mate. (End of this chapter)
