The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 13: The City Wall

Before long the cement production was on the right track, to give Anna enough rest,

kilns are used only two to three times a day. To get the most out of each calcination process, they must get more raw materials.

For this, Roland once again issued an order to recruit more workers, until their current numbers doubled.

But he also knows that he can't just rely on Anna to shoot.

People who work long hours in dusty environments, will eventually get sick; furthermore, once the scale of future production increases, Anna alone will not be enough to meet demand.

Witches should not be used as consumables.

Instead, they should serve as machines to promote the development of civilization.

Although Roland was already aware of this fact, right now, he could only invest all his energy and energy into building the city walls.

After all, if they could not stop the demonic beasts, everything else would become insignificant.

Digging the foundation for laying the City walls had already begun to connect the northern slope with the Chishui River To increase the speed of production, the,

he is personally in charge of the entire project.

He dug out the first shovel of earth with his own hands in front of the shocked masses of the surrounding spectators.

Roland thought after the problem with the cement was solved, building the city walls would be easy and relaxing.

But he soon discovered that his previous experience in engineering was not enough to understand a word of the project.

How deep and wide the foundation should be made?

How to overcome the height of different parts?

How to ensure that the wall over six hundred meters long will be built in a straight line?

He had previously seen the construction of roads by a group of young men.

They're looking at the scale on their measuring instruments; it's called theodolite and level, right?

But those two tools are not here!

As a hapless mechanical engineer, although Roland and the civil engineer next to him were referred to as two engineering dogs, the content they learned was actually very far away.

Of the mud craftsmen he recruited, no one had ever been involved in the construction of large projects, it could even be said that his own understanding was better than theirs.

Therefore, building wall| started very slowly, it took an entire week to dig out almost half of the foundation they needed.

Once a project gets out of control, it can be hard to tell what the final product will look like.

For example, this difficult-to-dig excavate foundation, appears as a shallow groove, not a wall foundation.

More suitable called drainage ditch. Regardless of Roland's description, the width they dug out was more or less individual.

Thus, its width was clearly formless, becoming increasingly narrow. When standing in the distance, the foundation practically resembled a warped and twisted snake.

Even so, Roland was unwilling to stop the project.

With little other than digging in his mind, as long as it wasn't the time of the shooting, which was Anna's job, he would stay on the northern slope for the rest of the day.

Adjusting the direction of the extension of the hole with the naked eye, slowly moving forward.

Simultaneously he also doubled the rewards for the stone craftsmen.

Fortunately, this difficulty did not last long, as Roland was preparing for the sixth cement calcination;

Barov the Assistant

The minister reported that a mason responded to the recruitment.

It is said he was a former member of the mason guild.

The people who were waiting for the audience had already been brought outside the hall.

When he got this information, he almost burst into excitement, in his memory the Graycastle mason guild was a famous organization, even the fourth prince had heard their name.

But in the end, due to a construction error, they were ordered to disperse.

But how can we solve this without the help of a mason?

"Bring him in" Roland put on a calm expression and nodded.

She initially wanted to tell Anna that she had to leave, but then she thought it would not be a problem.

Bordered City had over two thousand people, very few had ever seen the real face of that witch.

very few had ever seen the real face of the witch.

Moreover, her appearance was now, in a strange new dress, and her previous appearance, and her,

when he wholeheartedly seeks death, when he is not his usual self, it is very different.

He predicted that even if he were to be seen, he would not be recognized.

Karl van Bart felt uneasy when he was brought to the courtyard by the knight;

he intended to tell His Majesty, that this year is not suitable for carrying out large-scale projects.

After gaining His Majesty's trust, he could slowly change the prince's view of the witch.

In the rumors of His Majesty always acting wild, what should he do when it seemed like he would get the opposite result from his advice?

With her mind spinning as she bowed, when she raised her head again, she suddenly stopped and stared blankly - the girl beside His Majesty looked so familiar, she said,

he felt that he was dreaming.

Karl rubbed his eyes, then looked once more, he could not help but scream, he said,

"... Anna!"

How is that possible? He only wanted to hire a craftsman, but who knew that the craftsman was also a neighbor of a witch?

He knew, that the others were completely familiar with Anna, otherwise, it was impossible to immediately recognize her.

He looked at Carter. The chief knight got a hint, he immediately pulled his hook, blocking the only way out.

"Your Majesty... The teacher?"

Anna's reaction made Roland's spirit circle for a while before she returned to full consciousness, what, teacher?

"It's really you, Anna, I..."

Karl only felt his eye sockets heating up,

and then something flows down.

He knelt helplessly on the ground, constantly repeating,

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..

very good too.well ...

After Karl van Bart was able to calm his mood,

he slowly stood up and then bowed once more to pay his respects to Roland again,

"I'm sorry, Your Honor, I forgot my manners."

"This, in the end what happened?

| Aren't you a mason?"

"before," when Karl's mood calmed down again,

his speech became very smooth

Your Majesty didn't kill Anna!

The person hanged at the place of execution was a surrogate - aware of this, he already knew how to advance further.

Although it was unclear why the other party had saved a witch;

but regardless of that, even if it's hers

His Majesty wants to take him as his concubine even it would be much better than being crucified.

This suggests that the prince was not afraid that the witches were evil incarnations described in the rumors.

He described his experience living here

Border Town, ever since he escaped

grey palace. Including, that he had opened a college here, and that he had known about it

Nana Paien, one of her students, was also once a witch.

Finally, he begged

Your Majesty, that he will also take

Nana to her palace, so she's safe from exposure.

Anna, who was standing at the side had a caring expression on her face, while listening to Nana's plea,

but from the beginning to the end he never said a word.

The new witch again!

It's really important, and good news, though,

but it seems he remembered Paien's name.

When Roland secretly asked the assistant minister, he learned that this was actually, a small aristocratic family in Border Town.

"You can bring her to see me, if she's a witch, | I'll make sure, that she's not hurt" Roland promised, saying,

"But I can't take him away from the Paien family, especially when he doesn't suffer from threats from his material family.

Also, I saved Anna not as you think.." He assumed, telling the truth would be better "I need his help.

The idea that they were demonic-powers made absolutely no sense. I believe that the power of witches, regardless of whether it is good or evil, can be controlled.

So Anna, Nana or any other witch, as long as they don't break any other laws, I won't punish them to death."

"Next, we will turn to the city business, you participate in the construction

The walls of Graycastle?"

The prince quickly turned the topic back to the matter of construction.

"Yes!" Karl nodded.

Although, His Highness the fourth prince did not resemble his previous knowledge of the prince;

she did not expect that the prince would need her. The help of a witch, however, her desire to protect

Nana accepted, that's enough.

"Well, I'm gonna build a wall out of

Chishui River to the foot of the northern slope.

The goal was to ward off the invasion of demonic beasts. From now on this project is your responsibility"
