Struggle in the Steam Age

After explaining clearly that everything is now well, the Ratman priest finally settled down. Then he stubbornly got up and was held by Fatina and walked out of the cave with Lawrence and the others to comfort the rat people who were extremely nervous before. And this also represents the complete end of the battle against Niu Jiao Bay, and the focus of work for the next period of time will be on construction.

However, this does not mean that Lawrence will return to the coastline immediately. He stayed here for five full days to command the throat of the human force of more than 300 people in the throat of Niujiao Bay and the deep channel of the island a few kilometers away. A small fort was established in the area, and a small farm was opened at a place where the tauren tribe was not far behind the fort.

Fortunately, after conducting on-site exploration, Lawrence and the others discovered that the foundation of the fortress built by the tauren was still there, so there was no need to spend a lot of time to rebuild the foundation. You only need to prepare some wood to rebuild those walls, and then ram the soil to thicken the walls inside the walls.

As for that pocket farm is mainly used to grow various vegetables. After all, the distance from the port to here is not that close. It is not too difficult to transport all kinds of dry food, but those who are in order to ensure good health The vital vegetables of the soldiers here are hard to get.

Fortunately, this fortress is very close to the rat people’s cave, so as long as they persist for the first month, they will be able to use their military pay to exchange for enough edible moss and mushrooms from the rat people.

What Lawrence did not expect was that this small vegetable farm, which was intended to be a temporary emergency for a short period of time, would have been in operation in the following days. Not only did it not die out as a temporary transition facility as Lawrence guessed, but on the contrary. The area is getting bigger and bigger, and the business is getting better and better.

The reason for this is also very simple, that is, although the taste of mushrooms and edible moss is not bad. But there is a subtle difference between the tastes of humans and rat people. It is impossible to eat no more than ten kinds of vegetables grown in caves all day like the rat people. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the taste of food suitable for human beings.

Not to mention that with the increase in the migration of the rat people, many rat people also want to change their tastes. Therefore, after a period of time, the farm was finally transferred to the new immigrants who came here, and then it was built into a new farm.

Of course, Lawrence, who is now in charge of the construction of fortresses and farms, has not yet considered this not a distant future. Five days later, Lawrence, who had almost handled everything, returned to the port area with the team that had been sent to him.

There are only a dozen people in this feeding team plus the same number of six-legged lizards. As for the reason they dare to come and send supplies with such a small number of people, it is entirely because the safety of this small plain is very good now. .

The reason for this is that most of the dangerous creatures on this land have been eliminated by the goblins, and Lawrence destroyed the power of the goblins in the battle of the previous few days. So along the way, they didn't encounter any dangerous creatures except for a carnivore that looked like a cat and five or six scattered goblins.

Two days later, Lawrence successfully followed the supply team back to the port. What he didn't expect was that he had just returned to the temporary office and sat down when he saw Syfiel walk into the room blushing, and then handed him a telegram.

"In more than a month, our relatives will come to the island, and then we will hold an engagement ceremony?" After reading the telegram, Lawrence's eyes widened, and his mind was like a firework ceremony.

After all, his current relationship with Safir is only above Youda, and his lover is not satisfied. To get married in this situation, even if it is just an engagement, would seem a bit too radical.

"What do you think?" Because this is not a person's business. So Lawrence raised his head and asked Syfiel, who was sitting on the rough wooden bench opposite the desk. "That's-- do you have any thoughts on the engagement of the two of us?"

"I, I personally think this is quite appropriate." Saifeier whispered in a lady gesture that was completely inconsistent with her usual image. "After all, you are now an aristocrat with your own fief, so there must be a mistress in the family to help you share some work."

"Uh, I'm not asking what I need in this situation." Lawrence found that it is possible that because of some gaps in the three views, Syphil's understanding of this matter is completely different from Lawrence. "What I am asking is if you as an individual, an independent individual, have any thoughts about getting engaged with me?."

"No." Saifier said categorically, "At least I think you are my only marriage partner. Although the relationship between the two of us may not be to a certain degree, it should be enough if we only get married."

"Okay, I understand." After all, the world is different, and the outlook on marriage and love can't be exactly the same. For example, in this world, the concept of family is very heavy, and it can be said that it is very difficult to have a completely free love. For another example, in this world, parents have great power to interfere in their children's marriage.

For Safir, the family background of Lawrence is similar, and the person is handsome, and you have achieved a lot of great achievements before, you can really be regarded as the best marriage partner of this era. Not to mention that two people were good playmates when they were young, and both knew each other.

We must know that in the marriages of many nobles in this era, those couples often only meet three or four times before they hold an engagement ceremony. Those who grew up together like Lawrence and Seifer seem to be rare.

In fact, after Lawrence was confirmed as the next Earl of Sauer. Mr. Lambert received many requests for engagement. But on the one hand, out of the principle of not wanting the August family to change from an independent nobleman to a vassal of other nobles, on the other hand, because of the lesson in his youth ~www.ltnovel.com~, he finally declined the nobles. Request for marriage.

Even in this telegram, Mr. Lambert specifically stated that Lawrence would not force himself if he was really unwilling. After all, he had only negotiated with Mr. Coburg and agreed verbally before, and there was still time to regret it.

Lawrence naturally knew how much pressure his father had put on the telegram. At the same time, he also knew that marriage as a fief noble was not what he wanted. So after asking the other party, Syfiel, he wrote a telegram expressing his consent and asked Syfiel to send it to the telegram room to reply to his father.

Seeing Safir leaving the room with a telegram with a happy face, Nora flew down from the stacked safe next to her and said: "I didn't expect you to accept this kind of arranged marriage. I thought you were before. I will firmly oppose it."

"If it's just a simple marriage, I might object." Lawrence shrugged: "But now this involves a series of things. Marriage is not just a matter between the two of us."

"You're right." Nara flew up to Lawrence and rolled her eyes. "But I think there is another important reason because you are not good at dating at all, so you should not be very disgusted with this kind of wife falling from the sky."

"Well, what you said is also a reason." Lawrence looked helpless, and the soul connection sometimes caused some trouble, such as privacy. "But an important point is that I don't have any lovers who have been forced to separate now, and I personally feel good about Syfiel, so this marriage contract does not seem inappropriate to me."

"You're right." Nora nodded in agreement after thinking for a while. "Then I wish you a happy engagement."
