Mountain and Forest Kingdom

port of dume

Although there is still some coldness that has not faded away, spring has officially entered the entire ice land.

Five large ships slowly approached Dumu Port from the offshore area. On the top of the flagpole on the sails hung the sun, moon and star flag representing the prophet's property.

Soon a small boat from the port rowed into the sea and shouted loudly to the merchant ships queuing nearby.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way quickly!"

The captains of several nearby merchant ships did not want to offend these locals, so they quickly asked the sailors to row their oars and make way for a large area.

Ships transporting goods, livestock and people soon sailed into the Harbor of Wings and into the arms of the prophet.

As soon as the big ship docked, the dock was full of people.

Leo, the person in charge of the port, waited respectfully with his men. When the sailors on the big ship threw down the rope and lowered the planks to fix it, Leo stretched his head and waited for the big man on the ship to appear.

A few minutes later, a woman who looked to be in her thirties stepped off the ship, followed by a group of nuns in nun uniforms.

Leo and others quickly lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the big man.

"Thank you for your hard work on the journey, Lady Saint!" Leo said hello respectfully.

Saint Priest Hela stepped off the boat and stood on this comfortable land again.

"Is His Majesty the Prophet here?" Hela wanted to see Lawrence as soon as possible, and also looked in the direction of the distant shipyard and the villa where Lawrence usually lived.

Leo said carefully: "His Majesty the Prophet is not here. This year's spring plowing has just begun. Now we should be planting ice beans in the Ice River."

Hela didn't like the smell here and walked out quickly.

"There are livestock and farm tools brought from Feiyu Port on the ship, as well as this winter's taxes. Send someone to take care of them and send them to the prophet's castle."

Hearing Hela's words, Leo quickly said: "Yes! Lady Saint!"

Hela quickly walked out, and the nuns behind her also left.

In addition to the nuns, a group of beautiful women who looked like slave girls also stepped off the ship.

These women, ranging from teenagers to their thirties, did not look like the women here. After getting off the ship, they looked around at the buildings in the port, but they also followed the nuns and walked toward the monastery in the distance. .

Hela arrived at the Harbor Monastery, and someone was already waiting at the door of the monastery.

Different from her attitude at the port pier just now, Hela walked up quickly this time.

"Saint Boer, I haven't seen you all winter, how are you?"

Hela walked quickly to Bull and greeted him with a smile, showing great enthusiasm.

Bull smiled and said: "You're welcome, we are all saints of the church and sisters."

"You're right, we are all sisters." Hela liked this title very much and said with a smile: "This time I brought the female slaves selected in Io Province two years ago. They have been accepted in the Fishport Monastery. It took more than two years of training.”

Bull said directly: "Then they will receive another one to three years of training at the Harbor Monastery. Until they are deemed qualified, the outstanding ones will be selected from these women to dedicate their bodies and minds to the prophet."

Bull looked at the army of nuns on the road, as well as the women behind these nuns. Some of them were obviously once female nobles, and many of them even looked like extraordinary beings.

But now they are female slaves.

This is not the worst thing, but a good change.

Earlier, they were female captives, now they are female slaves, and in the future they may be nuns, maids, or female warriors.

Even if you are nothing, you can still obtain the status of a normal person, live safely here, and engage in various occupations such as businessmen, farmers, craftsmen, and teachers.

Hela and Buell entered the monastery together. While walking along the bright stone road inside, they also saw the female nobles and nuns in the monastery.

There were some people who looked familiar, and some women who looked like they had just arrived.

"It looks like there are more people here." Hela said casually, and then talked about her own affairs there, "The fishing port monastery is now full, and the nuns have been complaining to me these days, asking if they can build one. A larger monastery, or let them come to study in the monastery here."

Bull was deeply touched by this, "I understand, and it's the same here. Because of the winter, several aristocratic old men died in Pig Trotter City, and several widows were sent here at the beginning of this spring."

Hela smiled and said: "It's the same over there. Those men don't like women staying at home at all. They always rush to send widows and widows' daughters to monasteries, and then occupy their men's houses and land."

Bull asked curiously: "How did the boy arrange it?"

Hela knew that Bull had a son, "Boys will be raised and worked. Now there is a need for a lot of men outside to farm, whether it is fighting or working, and the women who can enter the monastery are widows and noble knight families." Mother, the family needs a man to inherit the title."

"However, more women want to go to the monastery on their own. I often have ladies from nearby countries visiting there. In fact, they don't want to endure the discipline and beatings of the men at home. They have long wanted to find a safe and comfortable place to live."

While the two female priests were chatting, the nuns behind them also began to guide the female slaves who came in to different rooms.

These people had lived in the monastery for two or three years before. Even if they changed places, they quickly adapted to this strange yet familiar new environment because of the familiar decoration and architectural style.

The rules in the two places are similar, and the things they do every day are similar. Apart from some differences in work and rest time due to the climate, the biggest changes are the diet and living conditions.

At night, a group of young women were lying on the bed chatting.

There are more than thirty women in this room. The beds they sleep on are long collapse beds that are more than one meter higher than the ground. More than thirty women sleep side by side. This is the worst dormitory.

The local girl Lana couldn't sleep and said excitedly: "My name is Lana and I am from Kuer. Are you all from Io?"

"We are all Star People!" A young girl said in a serious tone, even sternly: "There are no Io people here. Although we are from Io Province, we are all Star People who are willing to dedicate our body and soul to the great prophet Lawrence. !”

"We will give birth to future generations for this country and dedicate our lives to it!"

"We are not Io people, we are slaves of the Prophet!"

Lana was so frightened that she huddled in the bed and didn't dare to speak.

The woman next to her quickly said: "I am Audrey, and the person who was talking to you just now is my sister Awenla. We used to be the female nobles of the Snake Family in the Kingdom of Ao, and many of our group are like this. .”

"Awenla, like us, has longed for the Prophet. We are all waiting to complete the training and be summoned by His Majesty the Prophet."

Lana breathed a sigh of relief, "We go to bed very early here and can go to bed at eight o'clock. I heard that you can't go to bed until nine o'clock?"

"That's right." Audrey showed a faint smile, looking down on this woman who was of low status both in appearance and bloodline.

Lana didn't realize her own value in the eyes of others, and said happily: "Then do you know how to use the flush toilet here? I will teach you how to use it tomorrow, and we also eat three meals a day here. Everything is different, tomorrow morning I should have juice bread and eggs, and egg and vegetable soup."

"We eat wheat rice for lunch, which is not very delicious."

"If you eat bread at night, you can also eat a chicken drumstick. What I'm most looking forward to is on the weekend, when I can drink pork and mushroom soup that night."

Lana talked excitedly about the food. The treatment in the monastery was very good. After Lana came in, she ate and didn't have any strange thoughts about the prophet.

So she deserves to live in the worst dormitory, and it looks like she will continue to live there in the future. (End of chapter)
