Mountain and Forest Kingdom

"What dangers are there in the mountains?"

Lawrence lacked an accurate understanding of the place he had traveled, and after hearing Dana's description of the mountains outside, he became even more curious about this mysterious place.

Dana drank tea and said slowly: "There are many dangerous animals, such as wild pigs, violent earth bears, fire ants, and basilisks."

Lawrence was generally aware of the existence of these animals, "Are there any other dangers?"

Dana looked at Lawrence slightly surprised, as if she was surprised by Lawrence's words.

But Dana soon thought that this prophet had conquered the snow-capped mountains, passed the test of the gods, and entered the land of snow elves in a blizzard that was invisible to mortals.

As a transcendent of the ice and snow bloodline, Dana was very curious about Lawrence and the Snow Princess.

To the hero who conquered the Snow Mountain Goddess, brought order to the mysterious snow country, and helped the Snow Princess inherit the throne, the beasts in the forest were nothing.

"I don't think that piece of land can threaten your existence anymore. Under your feet, it is like the grass in the courtyard. You can sit down and rest at will."

Lawrence was silent, and after a few seconds he slowly said: "Different animals feel different depths when crossing the river."

"When the little horse...the little goat crosses the river, the water reaches its back, but when the Dom crosses the river, the water only reaches its knees."

"The same dangers and troubles will cause different harm to different people."

"For example, a cold blizzard can freeze the cattle and sheep of a village to death, and both people and livestock are buried in the snow."

"For the powerful Kingdom of Stars, especially here in Oak City, this kind of snowstorm is just a common scene in winter."

"Although I am so strong, I know very well that not everyone is as strong as me. Many people are weak and need care to survive the danger."

"So I need to know more so I can understand how to help those people."

Lawrence's words not only surprised Dana, but also made the maids and others nearby understand what Lawrence had done.

Dana sighed: "You are truly a merciful prophet. If it were you, I would be willing to serve you."

Now I am working for you. When I asked to stay at the beginning, I was planning to work for you. When I said I was willing to introduce talents, I was also planning to work for you.

As she got along with Lawrence for a long time, Dana was moved by Lawrence's sincerity and kindness, and became more and more open and proactive.

Lawrence also felt the changes in Dana. At this time, he did not rush to ask, but chatted about other things.

"I'm very happy to get Dana's help. Are you still used to living in the building these days?"

Dana became serious and quickly explained her feelings to Lawrence clearly.

"I like the food here very much. The food in the building is much better than in the forest, but a little worse than here. The same goes for the place to stay."

"The place where I sleep only has a small bed, which is not even as big as the dining table here."

Lawrence quickly corrected: "The dining table here is used by many people, so it is larger. The normal dining table is not so big."

"But if you like it bigger, that's no problem. I will arrange for someone to make a new bed that has not been used for you, including new bedding, sheets and pillows on the bed."

Dana smiled with satisfaction, "I will always remember this generosity."

Elves are not conservative, but many things cannot be replaced frequently.

Just like sheets and clothes, one piece lasts for many years.

Lawrence not only gifted several new sets of clothes, but also a new bed, new pillows and quilts, which made Dana particularly satisfied.

Dana quickly continued: "Besides sleeping, what I want most is the paper that has been used here, the kind that has been slightly stained with water."

Lawrence knew that Dana was referring to wet wipes. Paper in this era was easy to pierce, and Lawrence's own paper was more delicate.

It's not that easy to use for writing, but wiping your butt is no problem.

From the beginning, it was made for writing and printing. The technology was not up to standard, so I made a mess of wipes after random research.

This is a product that is in line with the current era. The demand for paper in this era is not that great, and few people can read.

Today's wet wipes are not wet wipes from another world. First of all, they cannot be stored for too long and are only suitable for home use.

Dana had gone to the bathroom before when she was eating and resting here, so she clearly remembered some of her luxuries.

Lawrence looked at this colorful witch who was not polite at all when making requests, "You are talking about wet wipes. There is only a small output of these at the moment. Fortunately, they are not used much. You can use the bathroom in the castle in the future. ,Is this okay?"

Witches have a slow metabolism and do not need to go to the toilet every day. This is the case for Lawrence and his family, basically once every four or five days.

If it is once a day, it must be to make the stomach digest food faster and to eat more delicious food.

Extraordinary people can control the time of excretion by themselves and will not be able to hold back like birds and beasts.

Dana said happily: "Okay! That's it!"

After meeting Dana's many requests, Lawrence talked about the Agama Mountains and the Elf Forest.

Dana was obviously much more enthusiastic this time.

"There are several powerful elders among the elves. They are the shepherds of the forest."

"The tree herders will guide the forest and the trees outside the forest, and set up thorns in some places. These thorns and dense trees are the guardians of the forest."

"Some squirrels and birds will spread seeds to other places. Many plants in the Agama Mountains are descendants of seeds planted by tree shepherds."

Lawrence quickly asked: "Tree shepherds? Are there no such tree shepherds among the envoys coming this time?"

Dana shook her head, "No, the tree herders have a very high status. The Green Tree Elder who has been here before is the leader of the tree herders."

Lawrence thought of the Green Tree elder who came here before, but he didn't expect that he had ignored this wise man when he patronized the Fenn family.

Dana seemed to be aware of Lawrence's intention and advised: "The tree herders are stubborn old people and will not share their knowledge with you. Their knowledge is a kind of inheritance and will not be given to humans who are not elves."

Lawrence said calmly: "This is normal. Humans and elves are the same. They all have their own selfish motives and will retain some technologies that they value."

“But if you refuse to progress with technology, you will be surpassed by others sooner or later.”

Lawrence asked again: "Will the plants planted by the tree herders block intruders from outside, and also prevent wild beasts and floods?"

What I actually want to ask is what will happen if I get burned by fire, but I feel embarrassed to talk about such a vicious thing.

"Those thorns can only block beasts and mortals. They cannot block the birds in the sky, nor can they block the wind and rain." Dana naturally explained the general protection of the Elf Forest.

"What really stops outside invaders are the bows and arrows in the hands of rangers and sentries."

Lawrence suddenly ignored something.

That is because I always thought of elves as a group of peace-loving extraordinary beings. I always thought that they would not kill people, and they were too proud to care about outside things.

But when I heard Dana's words, I suddenly realized that the bows and arrows in the hands of the rangers and sentries might be contaminated with more than just animal blood.

In this quiet and backward world, it is normal for a few humans to disappear or die.

In particular, it is normal for humans to be crucified under a big tree after approaching the forest of these elves in order to collect medicine or out of curiosity.

Think about the Ug people who used human sacrifices before, the Wakili people who killed many people, and the Pumixiu people who also killed slaves to sacrifice to heaven.

Even if a piglet runs into a boar's pen, it will be bitten and trampled to death. It is actually very normal for it to sneak into other people's territory and be killed.

Those humans may have been ordinary people in the Hokuriku Kingdom, or they may have been ordinary people in the Kojako Kingdom.

In this world, except for the Kingdom of Stars, most countries actually do not welcome outsiders, and xenophobia is very serious.

The martial ethics of the elves should not be weak. They can be stable for hundreds of years and occupy the most fertile and stable land. They must have strong strength to rely on.

Through the conversation with Dana, Lawrence got a little more perspective on the overall picture of the elves.

Lawrence doesn't need to interfere too much with the war. This time it will be more and less, and the overall plan will not change.

Lawrence continued to listen to Dana's story, and gained a new understanding of the Green Forest Kingdom and the forest, as well as the Agama Mountains.

Just as the mountain woman said before, the other side of the mountain is divided into three levels.

The second level of life for the mountain people is the plateau under the snow-capped mountains, which is also the plateau on the mountains. This area above the snow-capped mountains and forests has a unique topography and climate.

Whenever spring and summer come, a large amount of melted snow water will be continuously irrigated.

It is not suitable for growing crops. The rapid streams will form a large number of puddles and swamps, leaving more than 80% of the entire area under river water.

Frogs, toads, lizards, and various animals that hide in the soil for the winter will also crawl out of the moist soil at this time to form the rainforest ecosystem.

In autumn, there is no more snow flowing down the snow-capped mountains, and the dry land will gradually lose most of its water in just one month, and then turn into grasslands and forests.

The winter here on the second floor is not cold, and there is basically no freezing. At the same time, it may be because there is a heat source underground, and the water in streams and rivers evaporates very quickly.

Lawrence thought about the unique changes in the area and quickly found the key to the problem.

Grass!

grass!

A large amount of lawn area will evaporate a lot of water quickly in autumn. If there is not much soil in the second layer and most of it is an impermeable rock structure, it is indeed difficult to retain water.

What these numerous and vigorous plants need is water and light, and the second floor can always receive a lot of light. The ultraviolet rays are strong and the demand for water is greater.

Without water from the upper snow-capped mountains for irrigation, the area quickly transformed from a rainforest climate to a grassland climate.

Then, when the snow-capped mountains continued to flow a large amount of water in the second year, a large number of plants with strong demand for water quality began to grow rapidly again.

Considering that this area was on the second floor and also on the plateau area of ​​​​the mountain, Lawrence felt that it should be like this.

Whether this is true or not will be analyzed after Lathander and others return.

Even though things have reached this point, Lawrence's original plan has not changed.

After enjoying a long dinner, Lawrence and Dana took a bath together and chatted about business in the hot tub.

"I'm going to go out and look for the two teams that went out before. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Lawrence still decided to find someone in person. It was more appropriate to do this kind of thing himself than others.

Especially after considering factors such as his understanding of the terrain, Lawrence believed that continuing to send others to search would only waste time. Now he needed to find Lathander and others as soon as possible to determine their safety.

One day later, what if something happens?

Family members are not the government affairs in their hands. It doesn't matter whether they have more or less affairs. To Lawrence, he is not a selfless person, just an ordinary person.

When it came to choosing between government affairs and his family, Lawrence decisively chose his family without any hesitation.

Dana felt that everything Lawrence did was right. The longer she got along with Lawrence, the more she felt that Lawrence was right.

"You are a prophet, how can I give you advice on this kind of thing? If you send me out to find someone, I will bring the person back as soon as possible."

Dana placed her hands on the stone walls on both sides, leaning comfortably against the sloping stone wall behind the hot water pool. It was specially built to look like a chair, and it was also a luxurious sofa chair in the water.

Although it is made of stone, it feels very comfortable to sit here under the stimulation of the warm water.

Lawrence looked at Dana who was completely defenseless. He wanted to think about business, but soon his eyes fell on Dana's body as white as milk.

"Your skin looks really good, almost like Catherine's."

Lawrence complimented Dana on her great skin.

There are similar white beauties in the family. Although Catherine is a black sister, her body is very white.

Dana showed a proud smile, "Catherine? I just looked at her a few times and felt that she is still a little inferior compared to me. This is my natural skin and a natural product of my blood."

Lawrence nodded. Most witches would use witchcraft, herbs, or strange things to beautify themselves.

This time when he was talking to the elf messengers, Lawrence kept smelling the smell of various herbs.

These herbal smells are not because they are immersed in herbalism, but because these elderly elves deliberately contaminated them with some plant medicinal materials that can leave a long-lasting smell in order to conceal their aging.

Dana doesn't have a similar smell. As she said, some natural beauty is the influence of blood genes.

Misfortunes such as genetic diseases, cancer, hair loss genes, etc. can all be inherited. Of course, happiness can also be inherited. Some people are born with beauty and are born healthier and stronger than others.

In the world of extraordinary beings, Dana is undoubtedly the strongest among the strong, and she naturally has an enviable bloodline!

Soon Dana looked at Lawrence with eager eyes.

Bloodline!

As the beneficiaries of a powerful bloodline, all extraordinary beings and most humans are actually supporters of the bloodline theory, and Lawrence's bloodline is definitely extremely powerful.
