Release that Witch Chapter 9: Months of Demons (below)

"Not much, Your Highness, Months of Demons will only have two or three such monsters each time, otherwise Longsong Stronghold will face big trouble."

"Very well, you watch carefully," Roland ordered hunter to stand up, "What's your name? It doesn't look like a Greycastle person."

"I have half of the lineage of Mojin Clan, people in the town call me Iron Axe."

Mojin, Sandpeople in the desert southwest of the kingdom, is said to be a descendant of the giant sandy land. Roland searched for relevant memories in his mind. He didn't use the name clan's, but the title, obviously he didn't want to be related to Sandpeople anymore. As for why he came to this deserted place from the southwest border, it is estimated that there are still a series of bitter stories.

But those are not the point, Border Town doesn't care about origin.

Roland clapped his hands, "Ask here today, Carter, reward them with ten silver royal each, take them down."

"Thank you for your reward," the three said in unison.

After taking people away, Carter Lannis turned back again, "Your Highness, do you want to stay here, do you want to stay here?"

Roland doesn't matter, "What do you think?"

"This is definitely not the case, Your Highness!" Knight exclaimed, "According to hunter, it is difficult to deal with Evil Beast of Wild boar species alone. If you ca n’t shoot the crossbow with 50 steps, you have to wait forty steps, three Ten more shots, this can only be done by the elite soldiers of stronghold. In addition, there are a large number of them, and there is no solid wall to rely on. If they are blocked by local guards, they will only collapse if their injuries and injuries exceed 10%.

"You said the same thing before seeing witch. Can't you think about everything in a good way?" Roland sighed.

"This ... witch is evil, but Anna ... Ms. Anna does not look like this. As your Knight, I must be realistic."

"Really, what if I give you a wall?"

"What?" Carter suspected for a moment that he had heard it wrong.

"I will give you a city wall, between the feet of Northern Slope Mountain and Scarlet Water River," said Roland, "Although it is not as majestic as the wall of Greycastle Kingdom Capital, it should still be able to block strange animals."

"Your Highness, do you know what you're talking about?" Knight was laughed at, "There must be a limit to nonsense. If you do not leave, you can only forgive me for being rude."

"Isn't there three more months? I read the previous records. Most of the first snow here came at the end of February after winter."

"Three years is not enough! To build a city wall requires a large number of workers, tamping the foundation with mixed soil. Tamping once every one to two feet, otherwise there will be danger of collapse when piled up. This is still the simplest barrier soil The city walls, "Carter shook his head again and again," the masonry walls are even slower, requiring hundreds of Stonemason to cut the stones into squares in advance, and then build them up. Your Highness, any city wall is built like this, there is no exception . Let the city rise up day and night, that is a story only in myths and legends. "

Roland signaled that he didn't need to say any more, "I understand. You don't have to come to a conclusion so quickly. If there is no reliable city wall at that time, I will evacuate to Longsong Stronghold with you. I have no intention of losing my life to this ghost Place. "

Knight kneel on one knee said, "I will swear to protect you!"

*******************

In the castle garden, Roland took a sip of bitter ale and looked at Anna, who was devoted to eating creamy pastries, and his mood recovered a lot.

He has decided to block Evil Beast -- from Border Town, and he ca n’t even hold the base camp. What farming is he talking about? If you want to build a city wall connecting Northern Slope and Scarlet Water River within three months, you must adopt reasonable solutions and cross-era technology.

Roland is not a whimsy. He has checked all around Border Town's (although he did not go in person). memory still has a clear picture. -- Northern Slope Mountain feet and Scarlet Water River are only 600 meters away from the nearest place. . And because Northern Slope Mine is mined all year round, the surrounding area is filled with crushed rock from the cave.

The cross sections of these crushed stones are off-white, rich in calcium carbonate, and can be used as limestone after grinding. With limestone, you have cement.

Yes, this hydraulic material that has changed the history of human construction has a wide range of raw materials, simple preparation, and one of the real farming tools.

Roland estimated in his mind that it is not possible to come up with concrete. It is not technically impossible, but the amount of cement required is too large. He was not sure that he could calcinate so much cement powder in three months. . In addition, the poor toughness of concrete requires the use of reinforcing steel to become a complete body, so it is obviously not realistic to make a concrete city wall.

To maximize the saving of cement and use the existing materials, the gravel dead wall is the most appropriate choice.

The so-called wool stone is the unpolished stone, which has the natural appearance when it is just mined. This kind of stone has irregular shapes, so it cannot be built directly, and it needs Stonemason to be processed into bricks to use. The rough stone wall uses cement as the adhesive, no matter how strange the shape of the stone can be piled up, the gap between the stones is filled with cement, which saves cement and does not pick materials.

The general direction is set in this way, but in practice, I am afraid I have to do it myself, Roland thought. Whether it is calcined cement or wool stone steps wall, it is a brand new thing. No one except myself has seen these things, and no one knows what to do. I'm afraid I'm busy for the next three months.

"Look."

The crisp sound of Anna came from behind.

Roland turned her head, and saw a small cluster of flames creeping up in her palm. There was no wind around, but the flame tip was up and down, as if nodding to her. She shook her finger, and the flame was like a toddler, slowly moving towards her fingertips. Eventually, it stayed on top of the index finger, calmed down,

"You did it."

An incredible scene, Roland admired at bottom of heart. This is not a magical way of seeing the eye, nor is it a chemical trick, but a truly supernatural force. But this is not the most attractive place for Roland. -- is more dazzling than the flames. It is the expression of Anna.

She stared intently at her fingertips, and the flaming flames reflected in the clear eyes of the lake, like the sealed elf in the blue gem. The marks left by her torture had faded. Although she still rarely smiled, her face was no longer lifeless. The girl's tiny nose exuded a little sweat, and her cheeks flushed with vitality. Even when she looked at it, she felt happy.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Ah ... It's okay, "Roland noticed that he had been staring at her for too long. He looked away and coughed twice." Then, next, try to use it to melt the iron. "

In addition to eating and sleeping, she will practice repeatedly in the shed in these days. The hard work made Roland ashamed. -- He has not been so strenuous even facing the college entrance examination.

It looks like it won't be long before she can master this power proficiently, Roland thought. In this way, new projects that I have long conceived can also be put on the agenda.
