forest kingdom

Lawrence sent someone to inform Lana that Yu Bao would go back in a few days.

Lana and the Shepherdess had just returned to the monastery when they heard a message from the guard.

"Then I'll go talk to the people at the train station and ask them to send a message to the monastery. There's no need to cook our meals."

Lana quickly ran out to deliver the letter, something she loved doing.

After Lana left, Bull chatted with the Shepherdess and soon learned about Kenny's choice.

"That child has grown up. I respect his choice and should no longer interfere in his life."

Bull was grateful to the shepherdess, for taking care of the children, and respected this honest and kind woman, instead of trying to fawn over her in order to let her take better care of his children.

Seeing that Bull said this, the shepherdess stopped talking about Kenny.

Bull quickly said, "I'm more worried about Lana than I am about Kenny."

"Lana is a good child, what's wrong with her?" The shepherdess felt that Lana was a good child and not a bad child.

Bull sighed, "This child wouldn't be a problem in a normal family, but she is a nun in a convent, and she is not young yet, but she still acts like a child all day long."

"Tasna, who is younger than her, also grew up in the manor. She was very unfortunate because she was ugly when she was a child. However, after entering the monastery, she studied hard and showed her self-worth."

"The child is very loyal to his master and can handle many affairs for him."

"In addition to Tasna, there are also Awenla and many nuns who came to the monastery to study before. They have been making progress. Only Lana makes me worried."

The shepherdess said: "Lana has a weak heart. She is timid, has no confidence, and dares not do troublesome things, just like me."

"I think that child will live a stable life like me in the future. Although he is not as dazzling as you, I believe that Lana, I and many of our children will be loyal slaves to the master."

After hearing what the Shepherdess said, Bull thought for a few seconds and was convinced to a certain extent.

There is still a problem though.

"No, Lana is different from you. She only has fear and respect for her master. She is not like us who recognizes her master from the bottom of her heart."

The shepherdess didn't quite understand the difference and said directly: "But I don't think the master cares about these things. The master takes more care of Yu Bao and Lana than the other nuns, just like he treats the young and ignorant. child."

"Children have to grow up eventually." Bull couldn't regard Lana, who was taller and stronger than him, as a child.

The little nun is no longer young.

There is a big difference in thought and knowledge between the Shepherdess and Boole.

"All kinds of people come out of the manor, including saints like you, brave warriors like Beow and Luke, and warriors who are gradually becoming unknown like Manderkru and Reglo."

"Not everyone has to be that good. Lana is the same as me. I think the monastery needs smart and intelligent managers like you, but most of them are probably ordinary nuns like me and Lana."

Bull said quickly: "No, I think you are excellent, and the master must think so too."

The two entered the monastery room while chatting, and Bull quickly gave up his worries about Lana.

If you look at Lana according to the requirements of the saint, this child is indeed very unqualified.

Even as a follower of the Holy Lady and an apprentice of the dean, he is very incompetent compared to the other girls.

But if you treat her as an ordinary nun, you will find that there is actually no problem.

Moreover, Lana can also take good care of Yubao. This ability alone is a special talent that no other saint has. She is also qualified to continue to be a nun in the monastery.

After Bull figured it out, he put aside his worries about Kenny and Lana at the same time on this day.

Children's future must be determined by themselves.

Kenny quickly found Lawrence and expressed his request for Lawrence's blessing against his will, but in his heart he did not want Lawrence to agree.

Lawrence, who was washing his hands and getting ready to go out, heard this and took the towel handed by the maid next to him and wiped his hands.

"Well, then let me bless you. It's your own business to respect your mother, but for your mother and wife, it will be happier if I bless you."

Lawrence said to Kenny: "Marriage is not a matter of one person. If you are not ready, you can think about it first. If you want to get married, you should consider the responsibilities you will bear in the future and whether it is worth it."

"Divorce here is not troublesome, but I hope everyone can treat it carefully and not violate the vows they made when they got married."

Kenny was frightened by Lawrence and quickly knelt down after Lawrence saw his little thoughts.

"Yes! Merciful prophet!"

Lying in front of the prophet is a very serious crime, especially having your thoughts directly revealed by the prophet, which is very scary for a young man like Kenny who has never seen the world.

Lawrence said casually: "When you grow up, your mother will not interfere in your affairs. As mothers, both Bull and Torrevi have fulfilled their missions. The rest of your life will be written by yourself. No one will interfere with your choices anymore, but no one will do things for you for no reason.”

"I appreciate your gratitude to the mother who raised you, so I will bless you. After you get married, you can choose to do things in Seravan, or you can choose to develop outside in the provinces of Gran and Io. ”

"If you go out, I will help you build a church locally, and you will develop the rest."

"If you stay, you can start as a priest in Seravan's territory, take your wife there and get a few acres of land, a small yard, a brood of chickens and a few dairy goats."

Kenny knelt on the ground and thanked him: "Thank you! Prophet! I am willing to go to the Sidel territory to preach."

Lawrence was not surprised by the young man's choice and nodded in approval of his choice.

There is no shortage of warriors in the land of ice, and there is no shortage of cowards either.

There are cowards everywhere, and there are also people everywhere who are unwilling to fight.

Only a few people like to fight.

It's just that in the Kingdom of Stars, this group of people has a louder voice, and has stronger voice and strength.

Lawrence blessed Kenny, who became a husband with the congratulations of priests, nuns and many warriors. The wedding was attended by many people. Lawrence himself had never held a wedding, but he had attended thousands of weddings in the past ten years.

When Kenny took his wife to leave Dumu Port and go to the south to find work, Lawrence's regiment commander in the south, Lieke, returned.

Lek is a new berserker who has joined in recent years, and a barbarian warrior who has been promoted from the army in recent years.

Born in a village near Pig Trotter City, he established the Kingdom of Stars in Lawrence and joined after defeating the Pig Trotter City Legion.

There are not many berserkers, and as long as they can become berserk, they can be promoted quickly.

But to be promoted to legion commander, it also depends on learning ability. What Lawrence needs is a legion commander who can fight, listen to opinions, and can read and count.

Lieke is such a corps commander, serving in the garrison. He has been in the army for seven years and has the title of baron.

"Prophet! The Holy Light Church gathered a large number of believers when it held a ceremony this year. These believers were quickly dispersed in several cities on the border. It looks like there is going to be a war!"

Lawrence didn't care about the war, he was only curious about the ceremony.

"Did the ceremony succeed? Over the years, the Holy Light Church has been busy studying the mystery of immortality, allowing old people to become children and children to become old people."

Lieke replied: "It is said that it was successful. The Pope, who had not been out for many years, walked out of the Holy Land. More things have not been investigated clearly. I only know that there may be a war."

Lawrence nodded, "I will send people to support you. Winter is coming soon in the Ice Land, but you are too close to the south, so the impact will not be too great. The southern army may attack in advance."

Lieke raised his head and said excitedly: "Please rest assured! Great prophet! Those people want to cross our defense line unless they step over my body!"

Lawrence smiled and said: "People are more important than land, but I admire your courage and belief. Our determination to defend our land and homeland cannot be doubted."

"You have me behind you. In addition to stationing the legion, I will also arrange for the wizard legion and the Valkyrie legion to assist you."

"Now we are unbeatable!"

Lek echoed: "Yes! Great prophet!"

Lawrence asked some more questions, and soon asked Leike to go down to rest. There was a camp specially designed to entertain military nobles in Dumu Port.

After Leike left, Lawrence called Will, who had been studying things in Dumu Harbor recently.

"Will, the Holy Light Church seems to have succeeded. I'll give you a month to pack up your things in the island laboratory. You may have to research things in the south in the next year or two."

Will had a lot to do every day, but after hearing about the success of the Southern Holy Light Church's ceremony, he quickly became interested.

"Okay! I'll go back and pack up. We can set off in half a month!"

It goes without saying that Lawrence will provide Will with the bodies of the Holy Light Church for research. Will's task is to study and analyze the results of the Holy Light Church.

The mystery of eternal life is very attractive to powerful people and wizards.

In recent years, while maintaining close ties with the Holy Light Church, they have also arranged for many people to spy on intelligence. Lawrence was curious about what this group of people could come up with.

Before leaving, Will talked about the conclusions of recent research.

"There is nothing special in the brains of giant deep-sea octopuses. I have also studied the brains of several large sea monsters, and there is nothing special in them."

"I think that after an organism reaches a certain size, the body will accumulate and produce more reactions, such as touch reactions and stress reactions. The more villi, skin, and organs of this type, the easier it is to produce intelligence."

Lawrence nodded, "It makes sense, but it has nothing to do with what I want to know. Why is this deep-sea behemoth chasing the fish treasure?"

"Maybe it emits an alluring smell." Will thought for a while, and quickly said seriously: "It may also be that the sea tribe killed many small octopuses, so the big octopus will expel the sea tribe when it smells the smell of the sea tribe. Kill this creature."

Lawrence looked puzzled, "Is that so? Why do you have such an idea? What's the basis for it?"

Will explained: "According to my investigation, Yubao can tame many small creatures to help it detect and find prey in the sea. This kind of energetic intelligent creature is definitely not a friendly neighbor in the marine life group."

"Even on land, the young of this energetic predator will be deliberately attacked by many animals to curb their growth."

Lawrence thought about Yu Bao's performance. Yu Bao was indeed lively and cute in Dumu Harbor and Lawrence, and he felt very, very caring.

But Yu Bao is an omnivore, particularly fond of eating meat, moves super fast, has a keen sense of smell, and has the ability to call distant partners. He is also good at cooperating with humans to fight together.

Whether it is hunting seals every year or expelling large whales and dolphins, Yubao is very active and proactive and does not give those competitors a way to survive.

"That's it. It seems that Yu Bao is still suitable to grow up here."

Lawrence no longer pressed, "You take charge of things in the south. If you have any questions, just send someone to contact me directly. I will go there in person if necessary."

"Yes, Prophet." Will was still very friendly to Lawrence and obeyed Lawrence's assignments.

After all, he is a big benefactor, and he is easy to talk to.

Lawrence summoned several more consuls and began to prepare for the possible war.

Barbarian warriors are not afraid of war. Everyone thinks that the Kingdom of the Stars is invincible. Driven by meritorious promotion and pride, most people are actually looking forward to the coming of war.

Lawrence is not afraid of war. War has many disadvantages, but it can also allow people in the Ice Land to go out, allowing domestic industry, commerce, and class mobility to develop more healthily.

Most of the domestic titles cannot be passed down, so the heirs and successors of several nobles are looking forward to making achievements and becoming noble nobles respected by everyone.

Compared with this era's advanced transportation capabilities, as well as strong mobilization capabilities, logistics capabilities, and industrial capabilities, the Kingdom of Stars is not afraid of the Holy Light Church's army at all.

The churches that were against the Kingdom of Stars in the past have been beaten away long ago. This is the self-confidence of most people.

Lawrence is very aware of his family's blind confidence, so in order not to fail, he can only work extra hard.

Not only did they transport past weapons and equipment and the latest wheeled artillery, they also convened several Western countries to once again form an elite coalition.

In addition to land support, Lawrence also sent a naval fleet led by three steamships out on patrol.

As long as the Holy Light Church goes to war, its ports will be blown up! (End of chapter)
