The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 9: The Moon of Satan (Part 2)

"Not much, Your Majesty," replied the hunter.

"During each Moon Demon would only appear two to three demon mixed species, otherwise, Longsong

Stronghold's gonna be in big trouble."

"Well, you seem to be very observant," Roland ordered the man to stand up and ask,

"what's your name? You don't look like a man from my Kingdom of Graycastle."

"Half of my bloodline is from the Mojin Clan, the townspeople call me the Iron Axe."

The Mojin clan, people from

The kingdom of Shamin, located in the southwest of the barren land, is said to be descended from the giants.

Roland searched within his brain for any memories related to the Mojin Clan and realized that the Iron Axe did not use the name his clan called, either,

instead of using the name given by the people from Border Town, it turned out that he did not want to get in touch with Shamin

Principality.

As for why, since it was clear that he was from the southwestern border of a remote land, he estimated, there was a series of sad stories involved.

But for now those stories are unimportant; everyone is welcome at Border

City, regardless of background.

Roland clapped his hands, though,

"That's not why asking you to be here, Carter, give them ten silver royals each, then they can leave."

"Thank you very much for the gift, sir

Your Majesty," said the three in unison.

After that, the people were taken away

Carpenter. When he had finished his task, Carter returned once more and asked,

"You...Your Majesty, why are you asking these questions to them? Do you want to stay here?"

Roland did not express any opinion and instead asked, "What do you think?"

"This matter is unquestionable, you

Your Majesty!" Said the knight loudly,

"According to the statement from the hunter, even a wild demon bear would be difficult to overcome.

Outside of fifty yards, a shot with an automatic arrow would have no effect; we would have to wait until it was forty yards, or even up to thirty yards before shooting, he said, only our elite soldiers can do it.

Plus the demons are too many, and we cannot rely on a strong wall, just standing side by side with the local guards to stop them.

I'm afraid his victims will exceed his achievements, our defeat will be assured."

"You've seen what a witch can do, so why can't you think positively?" Roland sighed.

"It... The witches are evil, but Anna... Miss Anna doesn't look like that, as your knight

Commander, I have to find the truth by finding the facts."

"If I'm going to give you a city wall, do you think that's possible?"

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

"If I give you a wall, between the north slope of the mountain and the Chishui River"

Roland emphasized every word he said, though,

"Although they wouldn't be like the great wall of Graycastle, but in order to stop the beasts, they should still be able to."

"Master, do you know what you're saying?" The knight did not know whether to get angry or laugh,

"Even your nonsense must have limits, if you don't stop, you must forgive my lack of manners."

"We still have three months, right? I see past records, the first snow usually falls here at the end of the second month from now."

“Even if we have three years it will not be enough! Building a wall will require a lot of workers,

to install the foundation they would have to press down on the earth and every one or two feet would have to be reinforced; otherwise, it would have a high risk of collapsing. This would be the simplest of the earth walls"

Carter shook his head again and again,

"'brick and stone walls are even harder to build and it would require hundreds of masons who would first have to cut the stone or roast the clay into bricks.

After that they need to build that beam. Your Majesty, all the walls were built in this way, without exception. A city built in time of day and night, it's just a legend."

if there is no reliable wall in place, I will evacuate with you to Longsong fortress. I will not give up my life in this place."

The knight knelt down, "I'll protect you!"

After that in the beautiful castle garden, the,

Roland bit his bitter beer. Looked into

Anna who was busy eating cream cake, her mood recovered a lot.

He had decided to stop the demon beasts in Border Town - joining the elite soldiers with the city guards, he would also intensify the farm by expanding the guard patrol area.

If he wanted to build a wall connecting the northern slopes of the mountain and the Chishui River within three months, he would have to use appropriate technology from modern times.

It was not that Roland suddenly thought of this, previously he had checked the edge of the Border city

(though he didn't leave personally),

in his memory there remains a clear picture of the northern slopes of the mountain and the Chishui River.

only separated by 600 yards at their closest point, it was a natural bottleneck. And due to year-round mining in the Northern Mine, it was surrounded by stone pebbles mined from the cave.

These gravel flakes are gray, containing a lot of calcium carbonate, which can be used as limestone after grinding.

With the limestone he had the solution for, it would be the same as cement.

Yes, this will change the history of mankind, to be able to build with water hardening materials, with raw materials that are easy to obtain, which are easy to prepare, and which are easy to prepare, it really is one of the most efficient tools for cultivating fields.

Roland estimated the time it would take, even if he was going to apply new technology, even with cement he was not sure if it was possible, he said,

the amount of cement they needed was too large, he was not sure if they could calcify so much cement powder in it.

And the toughness of concrete will be lower, in the end they need to strengthen it with steel, so the possibility of successfully building a concrete city wall is not too big.

They must maximize the use of existing materials and save cement, so building a field stone wall will be the most appropriate choice.

The so-called field stone, is a stone that does not undergo grinding, it is just a natural byproduct of mining.

This stone, because the shape of the edges and corners is irregular, can not be directly used to build, but must be processed first by masons into bricks that can be used.

But building a field stone wall using cement as a binder is possible, regardless of how strangely the stone can be used, the gap between the stones is filled by cement, he said, save cement and use residual materials.

With this great direction had been set, but the actual implementation, he was afraid he would have to do it himself, thought

Roland's.

Regardless of whether it was calcined cement or field stone walls, both were novelties. Except for himself, no one had ever seen these things, nor did anyone know how to make them.

He was afraid that he would be very busy for the next three months.

"You, look here."

Anna's clear voice sounded from behind her.

As Roland turned around, he saw the small group of flames in his palm burning quietly, there was clearly no wind, but the tip of the fire rose and descended, as if it was going to nod at him.

He shook his finger, and the fire was like a toddler, moving slowly towards the fingertips. In the end, it stood on top of the index finger, boiling.

"You did it."

It was an incredible sight, Roland felt admiration from the bottom of his heart. It's not an illusion magic, or a chemical trick, but it's really a supernatural force.

But this is not the most interesting thing to

Roland-is many times more dazzling than the flame, is Anna's appearance.

While she stared at her fingertips intently, the clear eyes of the lake water reflected the flames, as if a fairy was sealed inside a sapphire.

The traces left from the torture of the prison had faded away, though it rarely smiled, but its face was no longer lifeless.

At the tip of the young lady's nose was a speck of sweat, the reddish color in her white box exuded vitality, even looking could also make one feel a cheerful mood.

"What happened to you?"

"Ah.. Nothing," Roland watched her stare at him for too long, he let go of his gaze and coughed.

"Well, then, try using it to melt iron."

In the past few days, except for eating and sleeping, he had always repeated his practice, he said,

in front of the hardworking fans Roland could only blush endlessly - even in the face of the college entrance exam he did not work so hard.

"His mood it didn't take him long, until he completely mastered this power" Roland thought. After that, his ideas about the new project can be put on the agenda.
