Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Lawrence stood in front of his own colossus, with his back to the upper-body rock giant.

"Umu, are you willing to marry Gurney as your wife? No matter you are poor, rich, healthy, sick, happy, or unfortunate, you are willing to protect her and love her?"

Lawrence stared at the man standing at the bottom of the steps.

Umu and Geni didn't know how to answer at this time. Their mother never taught them what to say.

Umm replied nervously: "Yes, Prophet!"

There were many people present, including maids such as Emma and Tim, as well as people from nearby Pumixiu and Durila who came to watch the fun.

The impromptu wedding was not notified to most people and did not need to be grand. Only the Fleiss family and a few people knew about it.

Lawrence looked at Gurney.

"Genny, are you willing to be this man's wife? No matter whether he is poor, rich, healthy, sick, happy, or unfortunate, are you willing to accompany him and be his wife?"

Gurney also said: "Yes! Prophet!"

Lawrence asked: "Are you willing? After becoming his wife, under the sacred rules, you must remain chaste for your husband and cannot do anything inconsistent with the rules with other men until you die one day or you I will separate you."

Gurney didn't quite understand what this meant, "I am willing to be Umu's wife..."

Lawrence nodded to the young girl in front of him, "Then kneel down, and I hereby declare that Um of the Emma family and Gurney of the Fleiss family have become husband and wife under my witness!"

Fleiss and others quickly knelt down, "Thank you Prophet!"

"Prophet of Mercy!"

Lawrence nodded and left.

After Lawrence left, the atmosphere became lively, and the married men around him patted Um on the shoulder.

"Ha! Oh!" The man screamed strangely and started making noises.

The women quickly pushed the two of them towards the tavern, where traditional weddings would be held, and both locals and out-of-towners could enjoy a few drinks.

Emma was busy talking to Ayali in the tavern, and also to the other women in the town.

Emma has also saved a lot of money over the years. The maids in the Lawrence family are all paid, and Emma's salary has always been high.

This time Emma spent money on Um's wedding, and even the residence of Um and Gurney was Emma's old house.

"The house was renovated last year by a carpenter. Now it has a toilet, a kitchen, and a barn. The owner gave them five chickens and two sheep. After Umu goes to serve in the army, Gurney can work at home. ”

Emma was talking to several women about her son.

Ai Ali looked at Emma with envy. When she was young, Ai Ali was obviously more beautiful than Emma and was the most beautiful girl in the village.

But now Ai Ali is inferior to Emma in every way, and even the once plump places have become like beads of sweat running down a man's forehead.

"Umu is a lucky kid. Many Durila kids who want to be soldiers cannot become soldiers and can only do farm work."

Being a soldier is not a matter of risking death. Most people cannot even risk death even if they want to.

Even in the land of ice, the number of soldiers must depend on the relationship between the parents.

Unless someone is obviously physically superior, for example, he is 1.78 meters tall at the age of fifteen or sixteen, his body is obviously stronger than others, or he can fight and dare to charge, otherwise he will not be able to join Lawrence's regular army.

Lawrence had no shortage of people since he conquered the Valkyries. Most of the time, he was short of technical personnel. The few wars he fought in the west in the later period were just small fights and he didn't take them seriously at all.

The salary of the army is extremely high, with Valkyries and Seders accounting for the majority, and there are also some outstanding elites selected by Lawrence from refugees from all over the world, so the number of army quotas has never been increased.

For the natives and outsiders of the Ice Land, serving as a soldier is the only chance to advance to the nobility.

Not only are the benefits good, but more importantly, they are rewarded with incredible wealth.

To be able to become a founding hero and enjoy that level of treatment, even if it means a near-death battle, there is no shortage of people to sign up.

"Everything is the kindness of the master." Emma sincerely thanked Lawrence.

Whether it was forgiving Um's foolish behavior or allowing Um to serve as a soldier, it was Lawrence's mercy.

Wumu's physical fitness is simply not comparable to those of his peers. Although he looks strong and tall, there is no shortage of such people in the town and outside.

Ai Ali was still very envious and jealous. Looking at Emma who was wearing a black and white maid uniform, she couldn't help but say some embarrassing words.

"I heard many people in the tavern say that in the past few years, the Valkyries have received rigorous training from childhood in order to become soldiers in the future. The Valkyries often fight over the quota of soldiers."

"At first I thought I heard it wrong. I thought Umu was going to be a lumberjack. I didn't expect that he was going to be a soldier or a soldier at the front."

The position of death is not a humiliation or punishment here. Fleisbeoff and others climbed up from this position.

In the eyes of people in the civilized era, it is to die. In this era, especially in the perception of people in the Ice Land, it is a position that belongs exclusively to the strong.

In other words, in order to prevent the school officers from dying, Lawrence specifically asked some people not to rush forward.

Normally, the strongest group of people leads the rest to rush forward and go into battle to kill the enemy!

Lawrence himself rarely interfered in military command matters, so most of the time he was still the most capable one charging ahead.

Emma puffed up her chest, "Um is a brave child!"

Brick said: "I thought that kid would keep dogs all his life like Hall, but I didn't expect that he would become a warrior."

Ai Ali nodded, "I thought so too, but later I heard that he didn't know how to keep a dog, so he came back to look after the door."

Emma didn't want to hear others say that about Um, "You didn't know, right? Hall is going to the battlefield this time, and the master needs his dogs to conquer those elves."

Ai Ali touched her wrinkled face and said, "I heard that elves don't age and are very beautiful, just like Lady Stella."

Emma smiled proudly, "Yes, the master often discusses things with Lady Stella."

At this time, there were cheers in the distance. It was Umu and Gurney who, urged by the others, performed an arm wrestling show to see who was stronger.

Um was quickly pressed down by Gurney, and there were boos and boos all around.

Emma also smiled and said: "When Umu and Gurney's children are born in the future, they can be sent to the castle to be maids at about the same age. It will only take seven or eight years at most."

After hearing this, Ai Ali hurriedly said: "My Ginny is seven years old. Ginny has inherited my beauty. Let her be a maid. She is also a Pumi Xiu!"

In fact, they are a mixture of Pumixiu and Durila people.

***

Lawrence didn't waste too much time in the town of Pumexiu. After blessing Umu, he returned to Oak Castle.

Wumu's strength is very average. If he really had potential, Lawrence would have trained him long ago.

The genes of Emma's family are actually very average. Emma is just slightly prettier, and Tim is not pretty either.

I can’t say how brave I am, as most of the time I am forced by the situation.

The only bright spot is that she has a good relationship with the Lawrence family, and she has always been honest, so Lawrence treats her as a family member.

People are intelligent creatures, and Lawrence didn't know what was going on with the rest of the people, but it was difficult for him to treat someone he had been with for a long time as a servant.

Therefore, the maids in the castle will let go of a group regularly and give them money so that they can get married and have children while they are young, so as not to waste their whole life here.

Emma came back to see Lawrence in the evening and told Ai Ali's request.

Lawrence thought for a while, "There is no shortage of maids in the castle now. I plan to replace all the maids with students from the Saint's College, or nuns and witches from outside after this group of maids leave."

"Yes, Master." Emma knew how to reject Ai Ali, but she also sighed because Umu and Geni's children would not be able to be maids in the future.

Lawrence's main reason is actually that he doesn't want the next generation of these people to continue to be maids.

It is true that this profession, especially being a maid in a top-notch family like my own, is not a shameful thing, and there are many benefits.

However, Lawrence felt uncomfortable, so the current idea was to give up the idea of ​​three generations of them being maids.

Various histories show that the descendants of this kind of family are the most unreliable.

The descendants of the maid family have not experienced the same difficult life as their ancestors, and because their parents' status has surpassed some people's social status since childhood, they will have a lot of loyalty!

In order not to affect the relationship with Emma, ​​Lawrence thought it would be better to let Um and Gurney go near Fleiss's fiefdom in the future to avoid causing trouble.
