Mountain and Forest Kingdom

A war between barbarians and elves is sure to break out.

Both the elves and the barbarian kings knew this very well.

When the decision-making power of the war lies with the strong side, the weak side lacks sufficient judgment as to when the war will break out.

With the slow movement of Domu Sheep and the sail, the Green Forest Kingdom only knew the prophet's sincerity after a month.

The Elf Queen Hydalia quickly set Lawrence's letter on a candle, ignited it, and watched as the letter turned to ashes on the stone ground.

Next to the Elven Queen stands her loyal female guard, Anne.

Anne noticed the Queen's behavior and asked softly: "Queen, is Crowfeather Prophet provoking us again?"

The queen looked calmly at the letter that had turned into flames, "Crowfeather Prophet has decided to lift the food blockade on us and is willing to continue selling food to us, but we need to exchange medicines and materials, and also allow our elves to go to him. Work."

Anne said angrily: "What a bunch of arrogant savages!"

The Queen was very calm and said directly: "You don't need to tell the young people about this matter. Those young people will definitely cause trouble if they know about it."

"I need to think carefully about what to do. I think there should be someone who saw this letter earlier than me. You can check it out."

"Yes, Queen." Anne responded respectfully and quickly exited the Queen's tree house.

The Queen was alone thinking about what was going to happen next. Although Lawrence lifted the blockade of the Elf Forest, it was not a good thing for the Queen.

Obviously those dangerous and murderous barbarians are outside, so everyone must gather together to resist the barbarians.

Now if the young elves know that the barbarians are no longer blocking it, it will not be a good thing for the tribe.

"I won't let my people, like those refugees, go to the barbarian land to be slaves, absolutely not!"

The Queen quickly made the logical decision to remain hostile to the Kingdom of the Stars.

On the other side of the Agama Mountains, Lawrence was also thinking about the elves.

"If you go to live in Snow Mountain Castle, sooner or later you will get into trouble with the elves."

"But it doesn't matter. Those elves are indeed powerful. The same number of elves can definitely defeat two or three times the barbarian warriors, or even more."

"But being able to fight does not mean that you can always fight. Their warriors are also made of flesh and blood, and they also have the emotions and pursuits of advanced creatures. Once they discover the difference in treatment between themselves and others, they will easily run away."

"Elves are not humans. Those elves are a family. They are also a group of unstable elements in a civilized society."

Lawrence still insisted on the same idea as before, believing that elves should continue to stay in the country of elves.

Those elves are not peace-loving vegetarian elves, but a group of extraordinary individuals who possess the power of destruction from their blood, have weak emotions, and are extremely smart.

He has no children or family, is open to love affairs between men and women, and keeps a distance from both the same race and those of other races.

The more civilized countries are, the more wary they are of these individuals who have no weaknesses and possess destructive power.

Lawrence didn't want these elves to scatter, because he thought that once these elves had a unified goal [to assassinate Lawrence], his life would not be so comfortable.

Therefore, in the war with the elves, Lawrence, whether before or now, mainly focused on comforting or destroying the upper class, and tried not to antagonize the elven warriors and civilians.

Previously, it was about wooing and bribing the Elf Queen. During the blockade, they had always acquiesced in material transactions to delay the emergence of wars and conflicts.

Now, because of Stella's relationship, we want to correct the malicious behavior of some elf warriors, but we also do it quietly, placing elite warriors among the refugees to guard the elves who come out to hunt, so as not to take the initiative to expand conflicts.

Dana and Stella, as well as Dashiel and Shuda, as well as many wizards recruited over the years, have proven that they can win over some elves.

Lawrence thought about the location of his new home. If a city-state and military fortress were established on the snowy plateau, it would suppress the elves in all directions and cut off the opponent's retreat.

Now the entire continent is basically the territory of the Star Alliance, and the other kings also know about the elves massacring the refugees.

The impact of this kind of thing is very big. Although there is no movement at the moment, if the Kingdom of Stars plans to take action against the Green Forest Kingdom, several other kingdoms will definitely follow.

"We will definitely fight, but we don't know how many warriors and elves will die."

Lawrence sighed, stopped paying attention to this matter after a few seconds, and began to think about the construction plan for his new home and new castle.

This time we must learn from the previous lessons and design the new house to last longer.

***

Winter has arrived in the Ice Land, and shallow puddles and basins are gradually beginning to freeze over.

Tonight is a quiet snowy night. The first heavy snow fell quietly and naturally from evening to night.

The little nun rushed in from outside. After pushing the door open with her sturdy back, the little nun who broke in then pushed the door shut with her back.

Gloved hands brought in a covered pottery basin and carefully placed it on the table next to the bed.

There is also an iron stove in the room. There are two water tanks next to the stove, one is currently used and the other is spare.

"It snowed today. The prophet gave us extra food when he came over. The kitchen made my favorite fried chicken with potatoes!"

The little nun exchanged her joy with the little fish-man whose head emerged from the water tank.

Potatoes are the most common food in this area. Ordinary families basically eat potatoes every day, to the point where they don't want to eat them at all.

The little nun doesn't like boiled potatoes either, but she especially likes to eat potato cubes with fried chicken!

Soon the little nun opened the lid, leaned down and smelled a large bowl of potato and chicken nuggets, her face turned rosy with joy.

"Woof!" The little fish man made a sound like a dog barking.

The little nun quickly smiled and said: "I'll give you a few pieces of potatoes to try, but I can only give you one piece of chicken!"

"Woof!" The little fish man replied happily as he lay on the edge of the water tank with his webbed hands, slightly shaking his webbed feet under the water.

It thinks this is very reasonable, as long as it allows itself to take a bite.

The little nun quickly tasted a piece of potato herself, as she was used to leaving the good stuff behind.

After eating a piece of potato, the little nun placed three potato pieces and a piece of chicken bone with small wooden chips.

The little fish man soon held the wooden board with both hands and floated on top of the water tank, eating fried chicken with potatoes.

The little nun pushed the little fish man's back, "Don't move, I'll add some hot water for you."

"Wow!" The little fish man quickly stood up in the water, sticking to the edge of the water tank like an upright piece of wood.

The little nun picked up the boiling kettle from the stove and poured hot water into the water tank through a special funnel to slightly heat the water tank.

The little fish people usually like to move around in the water tank, and part of the water will be drained out, causing the ground to be always wet.

However, it was not cold in the house. The benevolent prophet provided hot water for the heater and winter clothes, and also installed an iron chimney in the little nun's small house.

Although it is a little smaller and the lighting is not good, it is pretty good compared to others.

After finishing her work, the little nun poured the remaining water in the kettle into her own bowl to melt the cold bread. She scooped the clean water from the bucket next to the stove into the kettle and hung the iron kettle on the stove. Then he happily sat down by the bed and ate fried chicken with potatoes in a big basin with chopsticks.

There are only four or five days in a month when you can eat such delicious meat, so whenever this time comes, the little nun and the other girls doing chores will be very happy.

The little fish man quickly ate up all the potatoes and chicken, even chewing up the chicken bones and swallowing them.

Hot food only improves the taste. The main food of the little fishman is still large pieces of fish and seal meat, as well as all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits that he likes to eat.

Every day before the little nun goes out to work, she will put a piece of washed cabbage and cabbage into the water tank. After eating the fish, the little fish man will leisurely hold the cabbage and chew it for an hour or two.

After half an hour, the little nun stirred the clean rice bowl with warm water and chopsticks, and then drank up the last bit of the meat-flavored soup.

"I'm full! It's time to go to bed!"

The little nun wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked through the small hole in the room to the dark outside. Nothing could be seen clearly there.

But I always feel very quiet.

This feeling of loneliness only passed by in a flash. The young girl didn't understand it, and she was soon immersed in the joy of eating and drinking.

Even a person has a lot to do. The little nun took the little fish man out of the water tank and put it in the basin.

The little nun warned: "You can't go to bed until you've peed!"

The little fish man quickly became more obedient. He couldn't control his bedwetting behavior, as if it was his nature, and he would urinate when he fell asleep.

It is almost impossible for a water creature not to wet the bed.

The little nun noticed the little fish man's loss and quickly comforted him: "It doesn't matter, the prophet will come to the monastery tomorrow to inquire. Then we will ask the wise prophet, he will definitely have a solution!"

The little fishman lay with his hands on a small stool that was higher than the water basin and nodded happily.

Its body is no longer the barky body it had in the summer. It has now grown fine hairs. Although it looks like a toddler with a smooth upper body from a distance, it is actually covered with a waterproof layer. fur.

The special body structure makes it more resistant to freezing than humans, and coupled with the benevolent help of the prophet, it has always been very comfortable in this place.

This Sea Tribe toddler is less than one year old and can already understand the little nun's language, what she is doing and what she is about to do, and has found ways to express her opinions and thoughts.

All this happens in the absence of maternal education. Whether it is contact and life with humans, or its understanding of itself, and determination of its life and growth path, it relies on its own blood and wisdom to find out.

Judging from various performances, although this sea tribe child does not look like a human, it is obviously more advanced than the surrounding humans. (End of chapter)
