Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Lawrence was concerned about the mysterious church.

I don't care about safety. The environment here in the north is harsh, and I believe few churches are willing to come here.

Even if a missionary like Kenny appears here, it will only be at the level of preaching, and it is still hundreds of years before invasion.

The church has very advanced technology, and Lawrence feels that it is impossible to build such a palace-like castle building just by relying on his own strength and knowledge.

Log houses are already at their limit. It is really difficult for a designer who is not a professional designer to create the kind of luxurious manor villa that I remember.

Therefore, if you have a good relationship with the church, you can have some reference for important matters like this in the future.

Lawrence wanted to know the church's views on witches. It was not appropriate to ask about this kind of thing for the time being. He would consult slowly after a while.

With Talim Poison Witch here, it is convenient to ask this question.

As for Salil and Sophia, Lawrence has never told anyone else.

The Cloda people are hiding in the world, so there is no problem there.

After resting for the night, Lawrence took Kenny back with him.

Bull was already pregnant, and she felt relieved after handing Kenny over to Lawrence. From now on, whether she gets married or works with Lawrence, it will be normal, and there won't be much reluctance or affection for her children.

Lawrence asked: "Kenny, do you know that Bull is pregnant?"

Kenny said embarrassedly: "I know."

Lawrence said: "Relax, it doesn't matter, she is just asking you to borrow a child, but I hope you can see her and the child when you come back in the future."

"Yes, Mr. Lawrence." Kenny agreed with shame.

Lawrence said: "You will stay where I used to live, in the house on the mountainside. I will take you to see the beehives. From now on, you will take care of the bees. You can also grow vegetables and make wine in your free time."

"You can make your own wine and make your own bread, but I am the lord here, and you need to pay taxes to me, do you understand?"

Kenny said in horror: "No! This is absolutely not possible! This is more serious than killing me. If I pay taxes to you, it would be blasphemy against God!"

"This is against the doctrine and brings shame to the 900 churches and monasteries in the Durila region!"

Kenny knelt down directly and grabbed the corners of his clothes with both hands, "Please grant me death! I will never pay taxes to people outside of my faith!"

"You have so many rules." Lawrence sighed: "Get up, I won't kill you."

Kenny breathed a sigh of relief and stood up again to follow Lawrence.

Lawrence asked: "Don't your nobles collect taxes?"

"Collect taxes, but not taxes from the church." Kenny said proudly: "Nobles and kings will donate money to the church, every year!"

Lawrence said: "Then your church must be more powerful than the king. I only know that the weak pay taxes to the strong. The bishops and knights of your church must be much more powerful than the knights and magicians of those nobles!"

Kenny explained: "His Majesty the King and those kind-hearted nobles made spontaneous donations out of respect for the Lord of the Morning."

Lawrence was speechless and said: "It's useless for you to talk nonsense to me. We just recognize who is strong and who is weak here. As long as the church is strong."

Kenny didn't object.

Lawrence has known the Pumixiu people for a long time, and they also lived in Telangtaho City for a period of time.

It is actually easy for barbarians to become religious, and it is easy to transform from the current primitive worship and nature worship to the worship of specific gods.

Moreover, the king and nobles could only rule a few people, while the church won over the majority of the people.

The church possesses the advanced science and technology of this era, and it also possesses powerful mysterious power.

No matter how you think about it, the church is stronger than the loose aristocracy.

Lawrence acknowledges that the church is strong.

However, Lawrence was sure that religious people could not defeat unbelievers.

The religious nobles and people in the west were vulnerable to the irreligious barbarians.

It should be said that the barbarians are relatively fanatical. If they meet the more fanatical believers in the church, they will probably fall behind.

The church's mobilization power is stronger. After the barbarians attack the church, they must cooperate with the church and recognize the church's unique status if they want to defend their territory.

Lawrence is not yet sure of the power of the church and will not take the next step until he knows the details.

Lawrence did not continue to test the church's power, but Kenny soon revealed his intentions.

"Mr. Lawrence, are you a follower of the Wise Oaks?"

"No." Lawrence said directly: "I haven't found faith yet. What are you asking the Oak Wise Man for?"

Kenny said happily: "It seems that you don't know that Vip may be a believer of the Oak Wise Men. This is a vicious sect. They believe that people, like oak trees, can bathe in blood and gain eternal life."

Lawrence was not a kid who believed everything. He said casually: "Oh, that's right. Since they like blood so much, they can definitely become berserkers."

Kenny said hurriedly: "These devil believers will not do that. They will only use dirty and despicable methods to harm innocent and kind people!"

Lawrence: "But I think the Ug people are not innocent and kind. Those people used to be admirers of oak trees. There is a very big oak tree in the Ug people tribe, which should be hundreds of years old."

Kenny was suddenly startled and showed a solemn expression.

"Where is the oak tree?"

Lawrence glanced at Kenny, "It's in the Ug tribe. Everyone saw it when we attacked the Ug tribe last time. If you want to go, wait until you are free to go by yourself. The corpses there must have attracted a lot of attention. Beast, you rely on hunting on the way to raise the dry food you need to get home."

Kenny hesitated for a moment, and finally suppressed some thoughts.

"I will keep my promise and keep bees for you first. Did you just say that there are already beehives here?"

Lawrence said: "Yes, I have raised a box of bees, but I don't know the details. I will take you there, and you will be in charge of this place from now on."

"Great!" Kenny said happily: "This can save a lot of time!"

Lawrence placed Kenny in the house, told Reglo not to bully the man, and then took Salil and Sophia home.

"Saryl, do you think that Kenny has mysterious powers?"

Salil affirmed: "No, he is just an ordinary person, very weak."

Lawrence asked: "Then do you know what happened to the Ug people's oak trees?"

Salil thought hard and finally shook her head, "I don't know, I've never heard of it."

Sophia followed up and said, "I don't know either."

Lawrence had no intention of asking Sophia at all, and quickly said: "Then wait for a while and see if Andrew comes back after a while. When he comes back, ask him."

The Pumixiu people have already set out for four or five days. According to normal time, they should be back in about forty days.

Saliel thought about her father and hoped that he could come back to see her and Lawrence's new home.
