forest kingdom

The New Year of the 19th year of the lunar calendar has arrived.

Lawrence walked out of the room wearing only a short-sleeved shirt and shorts and went to the next room.

The next room is Sariel's room. Because there are more and more women around Lawrence over the years, everyone has a separate room.

Of course the main reason is that everyone has more and more clothes and collections, so gradually they have the idea of ​​living alone.

There are many interesting-looking toys and decorations in Salil's room, as well as beautiful and warm furniture and landscape paintings that decorate the entire room, as well as beautiful table lamps, clocks, and tables, chairs and cabinets handmade by Lawrence.

Salil was busy trimming her legs when she came in.

Emma still has a lot of things to do, and the maid who is accompanying Salier now is Tim.

Tim was applying a hot towel to Salil's calves when he heard footsteps.

Tim saw Lawrence coming in and said respectfully, "Master!"

Lawrence smiled. "You don't need to remove the hair on your legs, do you? It's not that much."

Salil insisted, "No! Too much leg hair is too ugly. This hair is just like your hair. The more you lose, the more you lose!"

Lawrence couldn't explain what was going on. Sariel's leg hair wasn't actually dense, and it was normal for women to have hair on their bodies.

There are actually very few people with skin as smooth and soft as the Elf Queen.

Salil continued to give herself harsh reinforcements with metal tweezers.

Her hands did not stop, and her mouth began to try to divert attention by speaking.

"Aren't you designing the inheritance tax? Are you still working on that today?"

Lawrence watched as a hot towel was applied to Salil, a method of using the temperature of the towel to reduce pain, which was really hard work.

"That's something we did this spring and summer, and it's almost done."

"I plan to start with the nobles, then the senior military officers, and then the artisans."

"I have already greeted these people and told them about the plans for next year. Basically, there are no problems."

"Most people want to pay the money quickly to settle the matter. There are no people who don't want to pay."

Salil asked, "After this is done, what else do you do?"

Lawrence couldn't think of anything that was necessary.

"Well, there's a lot to do, but there's not a lot of urgency."

Lawrence quickly said, "I'm going to go out and play with Hildalia, you can continue with your beauty treatment."

Salil nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

Sariel's feelings towards Lawrence were still the same as many years ago, and she treated Lawrence as Lawrence.

This was the emotion Lawrence was hoping for.

Bull is currently his subordinate, Emma's family is also his subordinates, and even Lana, a good-talking child, has grown up now.

Lawrence didn't want his relationship with Salir to change.

From supporting each other through the years to living a life of luxury today, Lawrence believes that he has gained a lot, but also lost a lot.

Don't want to lose anything anymore.

But sad things will not disappear just because you don’t like them.

Lawrence soon lost another old friend.

The crow, who had been eating and drinking at Lawrence's house for nineteen years, also left.

When the crow, which had died of old age, was found by the maid who was responsible for taking care of it, it was already motionless.

It didn't say goodbye to Lawrence, and there was no interaction.

Over the years, he has had many crow friends, and Lawrence has had many girlfriends.

Perhaps it was influenced by Lawrence, or maybe it was just that this was how crows were in this world, the big crow didn't have just one partner.

Lawrence buried the crow behind the church at Mountain Wind Manor to commemorate his youth that would never return.

"Flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again."

Lawrence sighed and walked out.

"Let's go back."

Andersen followed Lawrence with his brother Green, carrying a lantern.

Andersen is already 1.6 meters tall and will continue to grow. His mother Deren and father Lawrence are both tall people, so he will definitely not be short.

What is inherited through blood is not only height, but also power and strength.

Lawrence began to consciously do things with Andersen and Green.

This is a very normal thing. Ordinary carpenters, veterinarians or many people will actually take their children with them and teach them skills step by step.

Lawrence has wasted too long and has never taken the future of his two children seriously.

However, Lawrence still insisted on his original plan and let the two children leave him.

There are too many children in the family, and I will definitely arrange for them to move out in the future.

Most witches don't give birth now, only the queen is still giving birth to children.

There was no contraceptive in this era.

Even if there was one, Lawrence wouldn't use it.

Lawrence returned to the monastery with his two children, and the nuns respectfully followed Lawrence into the house.

Lawrence reached out and touched the two children's heads.

"Andersen, Green, go back to Oak City and study hard there."

Andersen and the Brothers Grimm quickly agreed, “Yes, Father!”

At present, the railway tracks between Oak City, Manor and Pumishu Town have been laid. Unless there are animals blocking the tracks, there will generally be no problems.

In order to cope with the heavy snow and extreme weather in winter, underground transportation routes are directly built in some places where snow is prone to accumulation.

Even in the eternal night without the sun, the steam locomotive can still run normally.

The two children not only learned things from Lawrence, but also went to the town of Pumice to learn about the basic town operations.

The two children couldn't learn anything useful from Lawrence.

Lawrence began to facilitate communication with the nuns and to relieve the psychological pressure of those left behind by listening to their suggestions.

Neither Torrevie nor Lana went to Oak City this year.

Torrevi didn't want to join in the fun, didn't want to get to know Seraven's noble wives, and didn't want to sit with those women who couldn't talk to him.

As for food and drink, the conditions here in the manor are already very good, so I had no intention of going to Oak City.

Lana also had no intention of going, mainly because Torrevi was not going, so she didn't want to bother.

Another thing is that it’s troublesome to travel here and there. Lana doesn’t like traveling or living in strange places.

Lana, who has already regarded the small house in the monastery as her own home, would rather stay at home and do nothing this winter.

"I have no objection!" Lana quickly expressed her opinion after entering the complaint hut.

She just wanted to go back and lie down.

Yubao stood on Lana's legs by himself and raised his hand to speak.

Lawrence looked at Yu Bao, "What do you want to say?" Yu Bao quickly took off the sealskin hat on his head and poured the contents onto the table.

Lawrence looked at the white bone fragments inside and didn't understand what Yu Bao meant.

Lana said in time: "Yubao said that someone has been secretly eating beef recently, and hiding from us!"

Lawrence had a strange expression on his face, then quickly looked at them seriously.

"Beef can be eaten during the New Year in the monastery. This is something I allow."

Yubao and Lana both opened their mouths in astonishment, with expressions of disbelief.

"Ah?" Yu Bao could speak human language now.

Lana muttered in shock, "Why... don't we know?"

Lawrence explained: "Because Yubao loves cows, I don't think it likes to eat beef, so it didn't force you to eat beef, and asked those people to avoid you when they ate it."

Lana looked down at Yubao.

"Yubao, don't you eat beef?"

Yu Bao quickly shook his head. How could he not like such delicious beef!

When Lawrence saw this, he apologized and said, "It seems that I misunderstood. In this case, let the kitchen make you some beef stew with potatoes so that you can have a full meal."

"Wow!" Yubao clapped his hands happily and expressed his gratitude joyfully.

Lana said excitedly: "Today I want to eat back all the beef I missed before!"

Because it was the Chinese New Year period, Lawrence generously agreed.

Compared to the energetic Fishbao and Lana, the fish monster is much quieter.

This fish monster has been hiding in the pond and hibernating quietly. Even though the surrounding area is as warm as spring, it moves very slowly as if it has entered winter.

Yubao and Yuguai don't look like they are from the same hometown.

The sea is so big, the difference between sea creatures is probably like that between humans and dogs.

After returning to Oak City from the manor, Lawrence began to enjoy this long vacation.

With countless beauties around him, Lawrence could do whatever he wanted in the castle and play games with hundreds of beauties in the hall.

Every time at this time, I feel like I am too busy to handle it.

Fortunately, most witches are actually frigid, and those who are supposed to have children have done so, otherwise the workload would be too heavy.

Convenient transportation has enabled technology and culture to spread faster.

Sophia and Heidi danced together on the stage in the hall, with maid dancers following them as their foil.

Most of the maids in Oak City are beautiful ladies. Lawrence has no intention of compromising himself and specifically looks for beautiful ladies to be his maids.

Emma and some maids would also find some young and beautiful girls to go to Oak City or the monastery for internship.

As long as she is proven to be sensible and obedient, or can be noticed by Lawrence, she will be recruited into the castle as a trainee maid.

This is not the late feudal era. Having your body possessed by a man does not mean that you will be responsible for him for the rest of your life.

Even in the feudal era, there was no such thing as a woman being able to eat and drink for free all her life and a man not having to support her all her life.

Except for the women of officials, women of ordinary people have to work.

The maid is a woman, but not Lawrence's woman.

The unspoken rules of this era did not state that if a noble had a relationship with a maid, he would have to support her for the rest of her life.

Women of this era do not have the ability to ask others to do this.

Lawrence's moral standards are higher than many people of this era, so if you don't intend to take responsibility, try not to touch it.

If the sexual intercourse took place but no child was born, the maids were allowed to leave.

Being a maid is just a respectable job and a stepping stone for most people.

Lawrence has been surrounded by the Elf Queen and a large group of beauties over the years. It is difficult for ordinary people to compete with these beauties.

Most of the time, Lawrence was with the Elf Queen and Sophia, who were the ones who took the initiative.

Sophia herself didn't want to have children, so it was difficult for her to get pregnant.

At first, Salir thought that there was no certainty that the child would be a wizard, so she didn't want to give birth to the child and didn't want to do such a cruel thing as killing her own child.

Lawrence is obviously not that kind of person. All his children are fine, and Lawrence never forces his children to be wizards.

Over the years, the status of wizards remains as high, but Sariel also believes that Lawrence doesn't care about this.

Now I feel that there are too many children nowadays and I don’t want to have any more.

Sophia believes that having children will affect her perfect body and accelerate her aging, so she is unwilling to have children.

Lawrence's family is filled with a variety of women.

It's not about race or appearance, it's about character and ideas.

When interacting with these women, Lawrence sometimes felt very happy and sometimes felt helpless.

But most of the time, it’s still cool and fun!

He holds parties in the big villa every day, hugs all kinds of exquisite beauties who come up to him actively, or hugs all kinds of cold elves with reluctant looks, and watches their transformation from reluctance to physical and mental exhaustion.

Lawrence loves the Eternal Night every year.

Eternal night is a dark and silent cage, but also a warm, lively and indulgent little house.

After playing tired, Lawrence especially liked to sit in the living room with the naked witches.

On the soft floor covered with plenty of fur carpets and woolen bedding, Lawrence pressed on the Elf Queen while hugging her on both sides.

"This spring, in addition to the spring plowing and ox-plowing competitions, we are also busy with the war in the south."

"I'll be responsible for the spring plowing." Khalan took the initiative for once.

Lawrence asked curiously, "You are usually lazy and don't want to get involved in this kind of thing. Why are you so proactive this time?"

In previous years, spring ploughing had nothing to do with Kehalan.

Kehalan said charmingly: "Then what do you want me to do? Should I hold you back every day and not let you leave my house~"

Lawrence discovered that since the elves joined, crop cultivation in Khalan had become unnecessary.

The elves are better at this kind of thing than Khalan.

Not only that, even the once very important issue of pure-blood witches has basically not been mentioned in recent years.

Before the elves joined, everyone was still concerned about pure blood.

Even the dark elf maid in the house often uses this to judge status and potential.

It’s different now, no one cares.

Lawrence didn't want Khalan to suffer any injustice.

"I remember there was an elf who could plant fruit trees. I chatted with her for a while when I took her in, but I never looked for her again after that."

"She should still be in Snow Mountain Castle. Let her help you. Our next step is to achieve fruit freedom. We need to have enough fresh, beautiful and sweet fruits to eat every day!"

Kehalan smiled and shook her plump body, "Okay, leave it to me!"

Lawrence laughed. "The next thing is that our entertainment is too monotonous. In addition to singing and dancing, we should also learn to write poetry!"

Since he was bored anyway, Lawrence decided to educate the beauties around him and review his homework with them in bed!
