Chapter 652: Dog Pack

New calendar year 16, spring.

It took Lawrence four or five days to reach the outside of the manor after setting out from Snow Mountain Castle.

As soon as he approached the manor, Jifeng first smelled Lawrence's scent and ran over from a long distance.

"Woof~"

The black giant dog, which was 1.6 meters tall when squatting, ran to Lawrence and squatted, swinging its heavy tail on the nearby grass.

The bird-lizard beast that Lawrence rode subconsciously retreated, as if it was afraid of the beast.

Lawrence quickly got off the bird-lizard beast, and the bird-lizard beast felt much more relaxed after it was freed from the heavy burden.

"Jifeng, you are the first to greet me every time you come, very good." Lawrence touched Jifeng's head.

Jifeng was very happy and kept barking in response to Lawrence's touch.

Lawrence withdrew his hand and walked towards the manor with Jifeng and the large army behind him.

Jifeng was still healthy and strong, and had a large group of offspring.

But like Pig, Jifeng's offspring were obviously not as good as Jifeng.

Even if they are given enough food and drink, their physique cannot be improved.

Physical fitness is only one aspect, the most important thing is that they are not as smart as Jifeng.

These puppies are mainly used as communication dogs and military dogs. There are also a few obedient and honest docile puppies sent to the monastery as pets. They just need to bask in the sun lazily every day and eat by themselves.

If the puppies who are too unruly, food-protecting and irritable cannot be corrected by Jifeng and the dog trainers of the manor, they will die.

The big dogs all know this kind of thing, and Jifeng knows it too.

Whether it is the manor, the Star Church and the Star Kingdom, there is a set of survival rules.

Those who do not conform to the survival rules will be eliminated. This world has never been civilized. War and struggle and death are the norm.

Lawrence gave Jifeng and his descendants enough kindness. The working dogs and pet dogs in the manor, whether they died accidentally or died of normal illness, can be buried in the soil decently instead of being skinned and eaten.

There is work, rest, enough food, and people to help treat illnesses when they are sick.

This is also Jifeng's home.

The wildness brought by the ancient wolf king bloodline in his body did not make Jifeng return to nature.

He often went to the forest to find food, but there was nothing good there.

Jifeng had been to many places, but the manor was more suitable for him.

The manor was both Lawrence's territory and Jifeng's territory.

Jifeng was responsible for protecting this territory for Lawrence in exchange for a comfortable life here for himself and his offspring.

Compared with the tribe, Jifeng preferred to regard himself as Lawrence's dog, not the king of a group of dogs.

Because it was Lawrence who gave Jifeng food, shelter, and work, and even provided him with female dogs, not his own puppies who ate, drank, and barked all day long.

Especially after his father Doug died, Jifeng's concept of home became increasingly thin, and he lacked a sense of identity with those big dogs and puppies who were much smaller than himself.

Only when he met Lawrence could Jifeng show a happy and excited look.

Lawrence did not understand Jifeng's world, and did not understand how this dog viewed himself.

After walking to the hillside road in front of the manor with the gust of wind, Lawrence heard Yubao's cry.

Lawrence looked into the distance and saw a strange creature standing on the wall at the entrance of the manor, waving and greeting this side.

"Yubao?" Lawrence looked over there in astonishment, "Why did it grow hair? And it's golden?"

Yubao was not very beautiful to begin with. Today, she was wearing a strange black cloak with crow feathers on her body, a white skirt in front of her, and strange golden hair growing on her head.

Can the sea people grow hair?

It seems that they do...

Lawrence walked towards Yubao, who had been acting strange after only one month of not seeing him.

The sea people do grow hair, and they may have long golden hair, but it is still strange that Yubao has grown hair.

When Yubao saw Lawrence getting closer and closer, he shouted happily, holding the harpoon in one hand, and maintained a handsome standing posture.

Lawrence quickly walked to the front of the wall and looked at the little Yubao standing on the wall.

"Yubao, when did you grow your hair?"

Lawrence still felt it was very sudden.

Before Yubao could say anything, Sister Lana came running from the door.

"Prophet!" Lana greeted the prophet quickly, and then quickly exposed Yubao's outfit, "Yubao used the wig that the monastery was going to sell. Yubao will pay for it himself, and I will also help a little. Please forgive Yubao's behavior. It likes this wig too much and refuses to put it back."

Lawrence finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Is that so? It's okay."

Knowing that it was a wig, it felt much more reasonable.

Lawrence looked at Yubao's strange appearance and smiled and said, "Yubao, you are not handsome or cute at all. I will help you dress up again when I have time, okay?"

Yubao looked at Lawrence curiously, and then looked down at his new clothes. He was actually very satisfied.

But after hearing what Lawrence said, Yubao felt that Lawrence might be more right.

"Suck~" Yubao decided to believe the prophet's judgment.

Lawrence reached out and took Yubao down from the wall. "I have a lot of things to do in the next few days. I will help you dress up after the spring ploughing is done. Are you and Lana adapting here?"

"Xi~" Yubao answered comfortably.

Lawrence handed the fish treasure to Lana, "That's good. I'm going to Ironforge to have a look. It's too hot there for you. You play with Lana first. Today I'll have dinner with the nuns here. You too."

Yubao said happily: "Xi~"

"Yes, Prophet!" Lana agreed happily.

Hayate on the side watched this scene, and soon he had a similar class division, knowing that Lana and that Yubao were slightly more important than the others.

In Hayate's eyes, it doesn't matter who is important in the manor, it just depends on how he gets along with Lawrence.

Being able to talk and laugh with Lawrence often is more important.

Being scolded by Lawrence is unimportant.

There is no contact with Lawrence, and it is not important. You can be more aggressive and bark at them more.

Those who often come into contact with Lawrence and don't talk much should be polite. These are our own people. Maybe we will have to rely on them in the future when we are guarding the dog bowl and waiting for dinner.

Hayate is the smartest dog here, probably smarter than most people.

In addition to Gale, there are also many smart dogs here, all of them are smart puppies brought out by Gale and Long-Legs Hall.

These dogs are not very powerful in fighting, and no one expects them to fight. Their main tasks are to manage cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens, patrol, call the police, deliver letters, and pull sleds.

At this time, winter has passed, and the sled dogs and ordinary working dogs who have nothing to do are lying down and squatting in places out of the way, waiting for meals.

The kennel is a shared warehouse. Apart from the kennel, the only daily necessities for these dogs are probably the dog bowls. Every day when they eat, they will consciously carry the dog bowls to the back of the house to get their meals.

Only Gale and a few working dogs will have dedicated meal delivery personnel delivering meals to them.

For all disobedient dogs, the biggest punishment is not to be beaten, but to have the dog bowl taken away, which is a painful punishment that all dogs can feel.

Humans have human rules, and dogs also have dog systems and rules.

After more than ten years of comfort, not only the humans in the ice land have new systems and culture, but also the dogs in the manor. (End of chapter)
