forest kingdom

Lawrence took good care of his own people and showed kindness far beyond that of this era to everyone in the Ice Land.

The children here can have enough food to eat, learn how to dress themselves up, and go out to visit other children and play with them when it snows in winter.

The war in the south had very little impact on the Ice Land.

Even families whose members have gone to war have long been accustomed to having fewer men at home.

There was food and drink, and the people around me were all very casual and optimistic, so I didn't care much.

The people here are not afraid of death. Many people go to war not only for the salary, but also to seek their own value.

People without jobs will be looked down upon and lose their status and identity in the community.

Not everyone can distance themselves from their own tribe like Lawrence did, and take the initiative to cut ties with the tribe that abuses them.

Even in this era of low moral standards, Lawrence's behavior of voluntarily leaving the group is very immoral.

The barbarians of this era would not approve of such low-quality behavior.

Fortunately, Lawrence never told anyone about his tragic past.

Others didn't know that he ran away because he was angry at his family's abuse. They all thought that he was guided by God to come to this God-given land.

Of course, no one knew that after Lawrence became rich, he brought his people to defeat all the old family members.

This morally corrupt guy now became a representative of kindness and morality.

After coming out of Knight Street, Lawrence and Oruda said, "Many warriors are old. Many warriors went out this time in pursuit of glory. I don't know how many of them can come back."

"May they all have an honorable death," said Oruda, a Lofen knight in his thirties.

"This is what they pursue and what their families expect."

Lawrence agreed with this statement because he had just seen that many of the old soldiers' families had already let their young children live in those houses.

Those rooms and beds won't be empty for long.

As it is with families, so it is with the world and the country, and they all have to keep functioning.

The old die and the young take their place; it's a natural cycle.

The age of death in the Ice Land is between forty and fifty.

Most people are strong and healthy in their thirties and forties, but when they reach around forty, the problems accumulated in their youth will begin to erupt.

Most people don't want to die slowly in pain. If given a choice, they would like to go crazy.

In this era, in the minds of many people, fifty years old is already very old.

Modern people are willing to endure torture rather than die, and often estimate their life expectancy to be over 80 years old.

If someone estimates that his life expectancy is 40 or 50 years old, then there is a great probability that he will go crazy during this period when he still has plenty of physical strength and courage.

It is human nature to fear death and obey the strong, but so is madness.

Without the madness of fighting to the death, without the active conquest of giant beasts and exotic mountains and rivers, there would be no human beings today.

Lawrence did nothing to stop this cruel and determined madness.

We knew clearly that these old soldiers were going to die, and that there was no need for them to die, but we still acquiesced to these things.

Lawrence does not encourage such things. Mercenary teams and legion soldiers going out will not recruit dying old men. Those who can go out to fight are those who can pick up weapons, walk and eat by themselves.

Most of these people are old people who have joined the Ice Land for ten years. They all get good treatment and can easily support their families.

It’s just that many people don’t know what else to do besides fighting and killing people.

Being despised at home, or seeing former friends lying in bed paralyzed from drinking, or being pressed to death in bed by family members with their mouths covered, they naturally chose a relatively decent way out.

There is no custom of supporting the elderly in the land of ice. The cold wind and snow, the sea, the stomachs of wolves and dogs, or the stomachs of bears and crows are all their destinations.

Sometimes, if they can choose for themselves, men may want to die in a more meaningful way.

Even someone like Lawrence, who had low moral standards, was unwilling to endure hardships and was prone to finding ways to escape, gradually took on the pressure of the family.

However, Lawrence cared more for the women in his family rather than his offspring.

Offspring do not put pressure on Lawrence. Lawrence's children are the product of parties and impulses, not children he wants just for the sake of having children.

Lawrence always suffered for the sake of pleasure!
After visiting the base where there were mostly old men and women, Lawrence and his men went from Knight Street to Nun Street.

At the end of Nun Street is a monastery. There are several good hotels near Nun Street, which are generally where the knight guards who escort noble ladies and wives live.

The snow on the ground had been cleared. Lawrence got off his mount and went into the house to meet the female nobles who had been waiting there for more than ten minutes.

"Your Majesty the Prophet!" More than thirty female nobles stood up and walked over, bowing their heads respectfully.

These people are queens, princesses, duchesses, and noble women of various kingdoms.

Lawrence nodded and said, "There are a few new faces that I don't recognize. Follow me and let's go to the monastery and take a look."

"Yes! Your Majesty, the merciful and great prophet!"

The female nobles have all received a good education, and Lawrence's presence has lasted for more than ten years.

It has been many years since anyone regarded him as a bandit or a barbarian.

In the minds of many women and girls, this tall and handsome man is the most perfect man in the world.

Lawrence led a group of women towards the monastery a few hundred meters away. The cold wind was still blowing outside, but in front of Lawrence's strong body it dissipated like a breeze.

Daily exercise over the years did not increase my physical strength and power, but as I had more children, my witchcraft energy began to increase.

Logically, it should have become less, but judging from the changes in the Elf Queen and the elf group, it seems that I am currently recognized by the elf community?

Lawrence didn't quite understand this change, but it wasn't a bad thing after all.

Soon, Lawrence protected a group of women and walked into the monastery.

In addition to visiting the monastery's library and temple today, Lawrence also took the female nobles to see the residences of various noble predecessors in the monastery.

Unlike the old men who had to die, the old ladies were well taken care of, especially the wealthy ones.

The older nuns have separate residences and are accompanied by younger nuns who help with the work.

Sick nuns would lie in bed to recuperate, covered with warm quilts, and nuns would bring them meals, which were all very good, and the rooms were clean.

This kind of retirement place is a unique, limited-edition, and super-high-end treatment in this era.

Nowhere else, not even the king's mother in the palace, receives such treatment.

In this day and age, children are not trustworthy.

The female nobles from various countries soon asked their predecessors many questions individually, and finally believed and decided on their future destination.

Among all the countries in this era, only the Star Country is slowly cultivating the habit of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

Even if the effect is slight, it is indeed doing something.

There were countless cases of bullying of the elderly, and Lawrence did not take any action to manage these matters.

He was just slowly guiding this group, which had just emerged from the barbaric era, to slowly accept and get used to the coming civilized world.
