Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Lawrence took Kenny back to the tavern.

"Take off the rope yourself. I took you as a slave because of Bull's request. Work hard from now on."

Kenny looked to be in his twenties, a bit older than Bull, and he also had an aura of desolation about him.

Lawrence sat on a chair in the tavern, Saryl and Sophia sat near another empty table, while Kenny stood in front of Lawrence, and Bull served ale and pork bacon to several people.

Unlike the bacon made at home, the bacon here is better.

Although the preparation is very simple, just cut the smoked back muscles into slices, but just like cooking, you can taste whether it tastes good or not.

Kenny looked at the young man enjoying the food in front of him and said honestly:

"Mr. Lawrence, I want to be free from you."

Lawrence looked surprised, but he still calmly broke open the bread and sandwiched the bacon, cabbage leaves, and berries inside the bread.

After taking a small bite, the salty bacon and vegetable bread were mixed together.

It would be better if there is cream.

After Lawrence slowly took a bite, he said softly: "Work for me for five years and I will give you freedom."

Kenny said anxiously: "I'm afraid I can't wait that long."

"Then there is no other way." Lawrence continued to eat and took the time to say: "Unfortunately, you have to understand that it is not easy for you to come to me from Vip."

Kenny put on a serious note, "Please allow me to introduce myself."

"Okay." Lawrence looked at Kenny, who was obviously different from the Pumi Xiu people.

Kenny said: "I am Kenny from Durela in the west, a missionary of the Morning Light Church."

Lawrence showed a puzzled expression, "Where is Durela?"

"It's one of the countries in the west." Kenny puffed up his chest and said, "There are 300,000 people there, and there are many more powerful countries near Dulari."

Lawrence asked directly: "How far is it from here?"

Kenny said: "It took a total of 19 days from departure to when I got off the ship and stood on the beach."

Lawrence asked: "Is this where the Pumi Xiu people went this time?"

Kenny: "I'm not sure there's more than just Durilla on the western coast."

Lawrence is very concerned about Kenny's identity.

"Are you a missionary of the Dawn Light Church?"

Kenny stood up straight proudly and said to Lawrence, "Yes, my purpose here is to spread the greatness of God in this ignorant land."

Lawrence said: "I also respect God. Since you are spreading the power of God, why were you caught by the Dumu people? Didn't your God give you power?"

Kenny lowered his head and explained: "My practice is not enough. I am not a knight or a priest. As a missionary, what I want to do is let more people understand the greatness of God, instead of using violence."

"But I think the people here just like violence." Lawrence thought: "What spells does your priest know? Does he have any particularly powerful magical power?"

Kenny argued: "According to my observation, people here need faith. Even without using violence, some people here can be influenced. Relying on the efforts of generations, people on this land can sing the praises of the Lord of the Morning." poetry."

Lawrence was a little annoyed, "I ask you, does your church have any magical power? Answer me this question!!"

Under Lawrence's glare, Kenny could only relent and said: "Yes, the bishop in our area can use the magic of calling fire. Although the warriors of the Luofen Kingdom are brave, they will be defeated when they meet the temple knights of our Church of the Light of Morning. Understand what order is.”

Lawrence nodded, "That's right. I actually don't dislike the church or anything like that, but in exchange for you, I paid the price of a slave. I can't just let you go."

After understanding that the Church of Morning Light indeed had mysterious power, Lawrence became able to speak much easier.

He was very talkative at first, and it was already a very kind act to agree to let this person go.

Kenny said: "Yes, I think what you did was not wrong. In order to shorten my slave time, I can pay equivalent compensation."

Lawrence said with great interest: "What can you give me?"

“Our brothers and sisters in the church in each area were willing to engage in friendly transactions, and we provided bread, wine, and a place to rest for traveling missionaries,” Kenney explained.

"We also trade with merchants and provide protection to travelers."

“In order to let more people understand the greatness of God and join our church, we will also spread knowledge.”

"Mr. Lawrence, you were the first person in this area to talk to me as an equal, and you also took an interest in our church and provided friendly acts of rescue."

"I think you have the qualifications to share our knowledge. Now you can choose one of the three kinds of knowledge I know. I will help you master this knowledge within three months."

Sariel became interested, "What knowledge? Lawrence can read! I can read too!"

Kenny explained: "The first one is the technology of making delicious bread. We missionaries have visited churches in various places and tasted unique breads in many regions, and I can only tell you how to make Durella butter bread."

Salil asked curiously: "What is cream?"

Lawrence knew that butter was said to have been invented in BC when he was on Earth, so it should be foreign.

The cattle here in the north are all beef cattle or farm cattle. Without dairy cows, there will be no butter.

There are quite a lot of goat milk, but most people don’t point out the corresponding technology.

Kenny said: "It is a necessity that goes with bread and makes it taste better."

Lawrence said directly: "Go on, Sariel, don't ask questions yet, let him finish."

Salyl was curious about the rest of Kenny's skills and what the brioche bread tasted like.

Kenny continued: "The second one, barley wine, will definitely taste better than the wine you have now!"

Lawrence took a sip of ale quietly. Church staff were the first people to leave their jobs in this era. Since they didn't need to do heavy work, they naturally had time to engage in other side jobs.

Brewing beer and baking bread are considered relatively respectable jobs in this era.

Moreover, churches are generally not poor and have their own sources of income. Naturally, they have also mastered some profit-making techniques, and they do not entirely rely on charity from believers.

Many churches and chambers of commerce have contacts, but judging from the missionary who is willing to come to the barbarian kingdom to preach, there are also many people who want to do something.

The church needs many intellectuals to help preach, but it does not have such a monopoly on knowledge.

Most people have no idea of ​​studying. Many people are running around for three meals a day and have long missed the best time to study.

Seeing that Lawrence was not taking it seriously, Kenny continued: "The third option is that I can keep bees for you and get the beeswax for making candles."

"Mr. Lawrence, what kind of technology do you want?"

Kenny looked at Lawrence, waiting for his choice.

Lawrence quickly clenched his fists and said, "I want them all."

Kenny shook his head quickly, "No, you only get one."

Lawrence said directly: "You are my slave now."

Kenny refused to give in, "My soul belongs to God! You can kill me, but don't expect to get the second kind of knowledge from me! This is God's test for you, and it is also a test for me!"

Lawrence looked at this man carefully. He was clearly afraid of death and looked like he would rather die than surrender.

Although you can try to scare him, but I don't think it's necessary.

We will just catch another missionary later, there is no rush anyway.

"I choose the third option. You help me raise bees. After I produce honey and beeswax, I will let you go."

Kenny smiled, bowed and said: "You will be very happy with today's choice in the future. In my country, it is a luxury item that is loved by both the nobility and the church. You can sell these in any chamber of commerce and church."

"If this mountain is suitable for beekeeping, businessmen will come here to buy beeswax in the future. It is more popular than wine, pottery, and honey."
