forest kingdom

The nuns' summer vacation is coming to an end soon
Lana and the other nuns from the manor packed their clothes and had breakfast with the nuns from the Dum Port Monastery.

Bull had come back from outside and was talking non-stop and saying some encouraging words while others were eating.

No matter how much others listened, Lana didn't hear a word.

It was still very hot in the morning, and Lana, sitting in the cafeteria, wanted to eat an ice pop.

Yubao and Yuguai were sitting in a corner not far away. Yubao was lying on the table with his hands outstretched, listlessly, while Yuguai was still lying on the rocky ground to enjoy the cool air as usual.

No one wants to eat anything too hot on a summer morning, so the monastery’s chefs quickly served up some appetizing cold dishes.

Normally, the nuns go to get their own meals, and only during some activities and ceremonies specially prepared for the nuns will other people serve meals to them.

This time the sisters from the manor monastery are here for vacation, so we have to treat them well.

In autumn, the nuns from the Dumberg Monastery also go up the mountain for vacation.

There was nothing fun in the mountains for Lana except working.

But for many children who grew up in Dum Port and have never been to the mountains, the Prophet's Manor gives people a very mysterious feeling, and they really want to go and see the first church and the first monastery in the Kingdom of Stars.

As the original monastery, the Manor Monastery has stronger symbolic and practical significance than the Port Dum Abbey.

Lawrence might not necessarily go to the monastery when he came to Dumport, but he would always go home to visit when he went to the manor and Ironforge.

For Lawrence, the manor is his first real home and his current hometown.

The delicious cold breakfast refreshed Yubao and Yuguai, and they began to eat small berries, seaweed, kelp, and white cold noodles for breakfast.

Bull had finished his speech and was sitting at a table with the other old nuns in the convent, waiting for their meal to be served.

Their food was the same as that of the other nuns, which was eggs, seaweed cold noodles, and seaweed egg drop soup.

It has been too hot these days, so I didn’t make bread in the morning. I bought fresh bread from a special bakery outside.

Meiqier and her maid shared a dining table. There was no custom here for masters and servants to eat separately.

In fact, there are such rules and customs, but Stana felt that there was no difference between Mercier and her servants, so she let them sit down to eat together, which led Mercier and others to think that this was the rule here.

After all, Stana would eat with other ordinary nuns, and even the sea creatures that were pets would eat with humans.

Mei Xier was eating cold noodles. She had already learned to eat with chopsticks and also learned the eating habits of the people here.

For example, you can talk while eating, or walk around freely, but you cannot disturb other people.

After you finish the food on your plate, you can go get some food by yourself. You can order as much food as you want here, as long as you can finish it or don’t leave too much.

There are delicious and novel foods here every day, so you don’t have to eat repetitive and unpalatable food every day.

Meiqier feels that comparing the food from her own country with the food here is disrespectful to the cuisine.

There is no doubt that this is a rich and powerful country!

The nobles here don't need the king to order anything. They come here every day carrying bags full of gold, silver and treasures and hand over their life's treasures to the king here, the powerful prophet!
What Meiqier saw was also seen by the caravans and nobles from the East.

Just as the rumors said, the Kingdom of Stars possesses incredibly powerful strength and incredibly abundant wealth.

After the meal, everyone sang and prayed together, and then said goodbye to each other.

Lana had never experienced any unbreakable friendships in the monastery, so she left naturally. She didn't understand why the little nuns around her could make new friends when they came for the first time and even cried when they left.

Yubao and Yuguai couldn't understand it either. They both came here frequently to manage the fishery, and they couldn't understand why the nuns around them were crying.

It is normal for women to bark. Yuguai and Yubao often hear meaningless dogs barking, so they are not curious about this matter.

Lana took the hands of the big fish monster and the little fish treasure, and took the two sea creatures onto the train.

Although the fish monster has a hard fish head, its hands just look rough. Apart from the color, they are not much different from human hands.

Meiqier brought a large group of her men onto the "witchcraft train" and observed the layout of the car nervously, fearing that something might be broken.

"Squeeze in! Squeeze in!" Aruchu came over and asked everyone to squeeze in because there were not many places left for extra people.

The nuns quickly sat together, and five people sat in the seats that originally accommodated three people, thus freeing up a carriage for the prophet's female slave.

Lana and Meiqi'er were not familiar with each other and did not care about those foreigners.

After getting in the car, Lana looked at the nuns who had been crying so hard before, and found that they were already playing cards and talking and laughing.

Lana, who had just been envious of the friendship of these girls, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if her favorite food was placed in front of her but she suddenly didn't want to eat it.

Lana sat in her seat, looking out the window at the port buildings gradually moving away. From here she could see the mountains and farmlands outside, as well as the reservoirs dug out of the mountains.

"Tim is not a nun and there is no autumn break. Neither is Eve, nor Clara or Lolita."

"Fuao should come to the monastery in the fall, but we are not very familiar with each other."

Lana and the Valkyrie warrior Fuo didn't talk much, and they haven't seen each other for a year or two. But when she thought of her friend, she still thought of this woman who she wasn't sure if she could be considered a friend.

Lana quickly continued to think about her friends. There were several girls working with her in the manor monastery. She also knew several mermaids working in the prophet's house and the monastery in Dum Port.

The rest are the children of the farmers and craftsmen in the manor, as well as friends from Oak City, such as the female swordsman Sophie.

Lana felt that she had few friends and the world was a small place, unlike the prophet who ran around.

But running around can be tiring.

After Lana finished her meal, she felt bored and didn't want to play cards with others, so she stood up and prepared to take a walk.

It was too tiring to take the train and run around, so Lana wanted to go home early and continue her peaceful life.

Don't think too much, just do your job for one day.

Lana quickly went to the bathroom, washed her face and wasted some water before coming back.

In the carriage not far away, Meiqi'er and others were curiously looking at the scenery passing by quickly. Everything here was extremely new to them.

The train that crossed mountains and rivers slowly reached its destination and slowly stopped at Crow Feather Station.

This is not Mountainwind Station, nor Ironforge Station, but Crowfeather Station, named after Lawrence's last name.

The train station is located 500 meters away from Ironforge, which is a little far away from residential areas and manors to prevent excessive noise from disturbing the sleep of the children in the manor during night travel.

Tall trees with lush branches and leaves were planted between the train station and Ironforge, blocking most of the noise. Special rail cars were used for cargo transportation, and fixed cranes were used for loading and unloading of cargo.

Most of the time, Ironforge needs to transport ore upwards to produce various machinery and ironware downwards, so a tracked steam conveyor belt is used to transport the scattered ore upwards, and rail cars are used to transport the ore directly from the mountain to the train station at the foot of the hill.

People, vegetables, grain and other supplies are separated by double-ring roads and diverted along different roads, quickly increasing the distribution speed of various supplies and people at the railway station.

Meiqi'er and others followed the nuns out of the building that looked like a noble mansion, and after walking forward for a while, they saw the mountains and manors in the distance.

Before they had a chance to appreciate this legendary God-given land, Meiqier and her men saw a horrifying scene.

In the wilderness on the mountainside, a huge black beast was running through the mountains with dozens of giant wolves, running towards the distant mountains.

"Warcraft!" Meiqier shouted quickly and loudly.

Her maids and serving girls panicked and began to think about how to escape and save their lives.

But soon, Meiqier discovered that the nuns around her were looking back at her, with strange looks in their eyes, without any panic or fear at all.

Mei Xier quickly lowered her head.

Aruchu walked over and said, "Those big dogs are not monsters, they are the guards here. The biggest one is the prophet's companion. Don't run around, or they will not let you go if you are discovered."

Aruchu gave a few instructions and soon took the initiative to stay and take charge of leading the foreigner to familiarize himself with the situation here.

They are currently still researching fertilizers here. However, Stana, who initially proposed this matter, does not need to continue her research here because of the monastery's affairs.

Their mother Daphne was here to keep them company, but she didn't look happy, having been unhappy since leaving the luxurious Oak Castle.

Meiqier followed the young elf to the manor monastery. The manor monastery did not look old and gave people an overall feeling of quietness and peace.

But what kind of monastery is this one guarded by those giant beasts?
Meiqier began to become concerned. She thought that there must be something very important hidden here, so there was a giant wolf guarding it.

However, there was nothing...but the food was really good!

The prophet that Mercier was waiting for still didn't come back.

Two days later, Meiqier went out to work with the nuns.

It wasn't that Lana asked her to do the work. The princess from the East and Lana had never spoken to each other, and neither of them noticed the other's existence.

They saw it, but didn't take it seriously and had no intention of talking to the other person.

Working is something that all nuns do. Aruchu and Kadar also have to go out to work. In order to avoid being left unattended when the foreign princesses like to wander around, they are taken along.

Neither Torrevi nor the Kadar siblings knew how to treat such a guest.

As summer ends, it's time to go up the mountain to pick fruits.

Meiqier and the nuns went to Orange Mountain, which was more than an hour outside the city, to collect fruits. Here they could see many big and small dogs, as well as many big and small wild boars.

Whenever stupid wild boars approached the crowd, the nuns and guards here would use sticks to beat them away.

There are also obedient big dogs patrolling nearby, and many times there is no need for people to drive them away, as these big dogs will chase and drive away the approaching wild boars.

When Meiqier was collecting wild fruits with other girls of the same age, she suddenly sensed a dangerous atmosphere.

This time, Meiqier quickly looked around and found that the big dogs not far away also started barking.

Are you in danger?

Mei Xier felt that this was normal.

Soon the nuns gathered together and counted each other.

"Leave here, and don't move the fruit that can't be moved. Leave it to Pig."

"Yubao, see if there is anyone else not here."

"Awoo~" Yubao quickly played the role of a puppy and began to look around for the nun who had run away.

There was a loud noise in the distance, and the nuns and big dogs nearby began to retreat in an orderly manner.

It felt like I was in danger, but also a little bit unlike.

Meiqier moved away from her previous position with doubts.

After waiting for a few minutes, a giant beast with a huge body walked out of the forest.

The wild boar king, who seemed to have a bad temper, used his fat body to violently bump into several small trees and dead trees nearby, then walked to the edge of a slightly empty forest nearby, stood there and looked over here.

The ferocious-looking wild boar did not run towards this side, but quickly lowered its head to eat the wild fruits on the ground.

"What is that?" Meiqier asked Aruchu about the giant beast.

Aruchu said, “He is the friend of the prophet and the guardian of Orange Mountain.”

Mercier became even more curious about the great prophet.

The busy Lawrence did not take the oriental princess to heart. The prophet who was inspecting Snow Mountain Castle and Flying Fish Harbor did not return to the Ice Land, and was still collecting inheritance tax in the controlled areas in the west of the Star Kingdom.

All things are difficult at the beginning. Lawrence must implement the inheritance tax so that others can implement and abide by this system.

In addition to the inheritance tax, Lawrence also cared about the nobles and immigrants who migrated from the Ice Land, and strengthened the ties between these immigrants and the Ice Land.

Allowing the descendants of these immigrants to return to the Ice Land, allowing the outstanding ones among them to enter the academy for advancement, and allowing some meritorious people to enter the Ice Land is Lawrence's promise to these people.

Young Lawrence had plenty of time and patience to accomplish these things.

When Lawrence rode the unicorn back to the ice land, it was already winter.

The world is conquered by snowflakes and the rivers are frozen by ice, but beneath the ice, there is an intoxicating and comfortable warmth.

Meiqier, who was brought to Oak Castle, has been enjoying a comfortable life here for two or three months. She has long been accustomed to the luxurious life of taking a comfortable bath in the bathtub after drinking a few beers every day.

Meiqi'er doesn't like public baths, nor does she like the swimming pools used by the saints.

She prefers shallower baths, and even more so this private bath where she can see the snow-capped mountains and snowflakes outside while taking a bath.

There were footsteps outside, Lawrence walked in and quickly sat next to Meiqier.

There was no need for extra explanations or inquiries. Mei Xier had already known her man from the witch's portrait. (End of this chapter)
