The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 104: Planning and Entertainment

On a sunny afternoon, it was finally time for Roland to fulfill his promise. He conferred the title of Viscount to Sir Payne.

In addition to his title, he also received territory south of the Shishui River and the right to establish a small village across the river.

Today, this new territory is still covered by forests, the,

but Roland had already planned to develop the land. To make him give up the autonomy of the newly acquired territory, he,

Roland promised Sir Payne that he would give priority to opening up the territory as soon as possible.

Furthermore, in the open ground Roland would also set up several different types of industries, which would produce shares to give to Sir Payne and his descendants.

Roland of course used his technical ability as an excuse to explain why he needed to keep an eye on the industry.

He also explained to her that it was a pretty good possibility to receive money without having to do anything.

Sir Payne is happy to approve this offer –

after all, he did not like this kind of work, in his view, there was nothing more interesting than riding a horse into the battlefield.

But after he had his daughter, he instead focused on hunting.

The industry in his old territory had long since been destroyed, so he had only asked Roland to help him sell his land located to the east of Longsong Stronghold, so he had only asked Roland to help him sell his land located to the east of Longsong Stronghold,

after all his family had already completely moved and started living in Border Town. Roland naturally agreed to her request.

The other person he named was Brian, who was awarded the title of knight.

After that Brian had to choose whether he wanted to get his own territory or still wanted to serve in the army.

If he chose the land, then he could no longer serve in the first Army of Border Town.

If he decides to join the army, he must, like the others, receive his land due to the achievement of his military service.

Without hesitation, Brian chose the latter option. As a result, Roland could finally begin by planning the general layout of his territory.

With the Shishui River as one of its boundaries, and the Unpassable Mountain Range as another boundary.

The living room is three kilometers long and seven to eight kilometers wide.

After the construction of the housing, it could also later be used as a gift, which could be given as an additional gift to the promoted officer.

The other side of the Shishui River will be the industrial and agricultural area of the future. The land can be extended south, but the only problem is that it is still covered in forest.

In addition, his topography tilted higher and lower at longer distances. To meet the needs of the population, Roland had to start reclaiming the land.

The border area to the west of the garrison and the forest where the demonic beasts were hiding was also an important area to open.

Forests have a wide variety of treasures, such as wood, edible mushrooms, wild animals, plants and more.

Besides being used for construction and industry, wood can also be used as a fuel source.

The vast area covered by the forest was shocking. Roland had already sent Lighting to explore it, though,

but even flying over thirty kilometers he still could not see the end of it,

that means if all the wood in the forest was used to make a fire, it would burn for a very long time.

The last area is the region between the Hidden Forest and the Unpassable Mountains –

it was a no man's land, a forbidden area, in other words, a barbarian desert.

He could only speculate how large the area between the Unpassable Mountain Range and the forest border was.

Both borders were extremely vast, having to be much larger than the territory of the Kingdom of Graycastle. In the face of the enormous land and having no owner, Roland's heart began to itch.

But he also knew that for now he could not interfere with himself with this piece of land.

Right now, the most important thing for Border Town was to increase its population

Returning to his office in the castle, he called the artist Soraya. "How are you doing, are you still helping out at City Hall?"

“I've never painted so many paintings in one day,” he looks in much better condition than the last time he saw her,

“today I have finished the basic drawing, but just painted a picture of their head while looking through the window, it feels a little strange.”

“They will easily be scared when they see my magic pen”,

the prince smiled, “they know that there are witches in Border Town, but if you make close contact with them, it can easily cause an accident, he said,

so we just took a few simple hidden actions, not letting them know that you are a witch.

Their opinions will slowly start to change.”

Soraya's photography skills helped take Roland's citizenship enrollment program to a new level.

For this plan, he had emptied a room in the City Hall and then used the room to store information about the townspeople.

This information was all the statistics he had collected over the winter, and now the record was expanded with new content.

The biggest change to all their personal accounts was that he added each of the "colored photos".

According to Roland's request, the City Hall had prepared a small room large enough for a single person that could be entered without being seen,

having only a small window through which Soraya could see the face of the person she had to paint.

So when he paints a portrait of his subject, others cannot see him using his magic pen.

As for how he might let the townspeople come and give their personal information freely, Roland's method was very simple,

whoever came and gave their information, got 10 copper nobles – he ordered the City Hall to allocate money.

"Today I called you here to draw something else." Roland took out some cutout paper and gave it to Soraya.

The latter noted that the size of the pieces of paper was exactly the same, with the size of half a palm, and in a rectangular format.

"What do you want me to paint?"

"Some props are for entertainment" Roland said.

He had already had this idea in his mind for a long time, every day the witches did nothing but practice their magic, life was a little boring.

The same could be said for the Prince, especially when he had to wait for the time when the snow finally melted, until then he was trapped inside the castle.

Therefore, he came up with the idea to recreate some of the games from his old town and find a way for the witches to relax.

The simplest possibility is to make a card game.

But the soft plain paper he had was no match for card games, shuffling it was also troublesome.

However, with Soraya's help, he was finally able to make some things more advanced.

"Entertainment?" He crouched down, wondering what kind of entertainment he was painting on a square piece of paper,

"OK, you have the final decision."

"First, on this piece of paper, you must draw a soldier with a heavy arrow."

"Imagine?"

"Yes, armor, body shape, age, and surroundings, it's all up to you to freely imagine, as long as it has a heavy arrow."

“Eh... I will try it,” Soraya closed her eyes, meditated for a while, then she put the pen in her hand and before long a bright light flowed from her hand onto the paper.

Immediately, a middle-aged man who looked like an arrow soldier appeared on the paper.

“Alright,” Roland praised,

“Let me think about what the next painting will look like, ah...in the upper left corner of the paper and the middle position, make a small circle in each of these positions,”

he remembered the card in his head

“The first circle is white in the middle with gold layer, and the second is orange fused with gold layer,”

said. When the circle was finished, Roland let him add the number to the first circle, "

and to the second circle you will add the bow and arrow into the circle."

The beauty of Soraya's ability lies in her ability to ignore the materials she had to paint, no matter to her whether it was a blank sheet of paper or a painted piece.

The second design can perfectly cover the previous painting, like a layered mask.

Thus, a delicate "arrow card" appeared in front of Roland.

"Is this what you want?" She asked.

“This is just one unit card, there are still many similar cards waiting to be painted by you.

In the end, you will get a stack and then I'll teach you how to play.

As he looked at Soraya who was painting with her eyes closed, Roland felt a kind of premonition from his heart.

Perhaps soon this kind of dialogue will be heard inside the castle of –

“Do you have anything important to do?

If not, let's play the 'Gwent' round first!"

TN: maybe some kind of playing card.

maybe you can tell me who knows about Gwent.
