The Release That Witch

104 Chapters

On a sunny afternoon, it was finally time for Roland to fulfill his promise.

He bestowed the title Viscount on Sir Pine. In addition to his title he also received the territory south of the Redwater River and the right to establish a small village across the river. Currently this new territory was still covered in forest, but Roland had already planned to develop the land. In order to make him give up the autonomy of his newly acquired territory, Roland promised Sir Pine that he would prioritize the opening of the territory as soon as possible.

In addition, in the open field Roland would also set up some kind of industry that would produce shares to be given to Sir Pine and his descendants. Roland of course used his technical ability as an excuse to explain why he needed to oversee the industry. He also explained to her that it was very possible to receive money without having to do anything.

Sir Pine immediately agreed to 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 battle. But after she had her daughter, she instead focused on hunting. The industry in his old territory had long since been destroyed, so he only asked Roland to help him sell his land located to the east of Longsong Fortress, so he only asked Roland to help him sell his land located to the east of Longsong Fortress, after all his family had already completely moved and started living in Border Town. Roland naturally agreed to her request.

The other person he conferred the title was Brian, who was awarded the title of knight. After that Brian had to choose whether he wanted to gain his own territory or still wanted to serve in the army.

If he chose that 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 achievements. Without a doubt, Brian chose the latter option.

As a result, Roland could finally begin by planning the general layout of his territory.

With the Redwater River as one boundary, and the Unpassable Mountains as the others. The living room is three kilometers long and seven to eight kilometers wide. After the construction of the settlement, later it can also be used as a gift, which can be given as an additional reward to the promoted officer.

The other side of the Redwater 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 was tilted higher and higher over longer distances. In order to meet the needs of the population, Roland had to start reclaiming his 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. In addition to the use of wood for construction and industry, it can also be used as a fuel source. The vast area covered by the forest was shocking. Roland had sent Lighting to explore it, but even flying over thirty kilometers he still could not see the end of it, that meant if all the wood in the forest was used to make fire, it would still not be able to see the end, it will burn for a very long time.

The last area was the region between the Hiding Forest and the Unpassable Mountains - it was a no-man's land, a forbidden area, in other words, a barbarian wasteland. He could only speculate how large the area between the Unpassable Mountain Range and the forest border was. Both borders were extremely vast, definitely much larger than the territory of the Kingdom of Graycastle. In the face of the vast and ownerless ground, Roland's heart began to itch. But he also knew that for a while he could not bother 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 seems to be in much better shape than the last time he saw her, "today I've finished the basic drawings, he said, but just painting a picture of their heads while looking through the window, felt a little strange. "

"They will easily become frightened when they see your magic pen", the prince smiled, "they know that there are witches in Border Town, but if you are in close contact with them, the prince smiled, "they know that there are witches in Border Town, it can easily lead to accidents, so we just took a few simple hidden actions, not letting them know that you are a witch. Their opinions will slowly begin 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. Similar to the population register, on each paper written the name, age, address, blood relatives and so on. This information was all the statistics he had collected over the winter, and now his record was expanded with new content. The biggest change to all their personal accounts was that he added "colored photos" to each of them.

According to Roland's request, the City Hall had prepared a small room large enough for one person to enter without being seen, there was only a small window where 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 it was possible for him to let the townspeople come and give their personal information so freely, Roland's method was very simple, whoever came and gave their information, was, 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.

"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 must be 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 he was trapped inside the castle. Therefore, he got the idea to rediscover some of the games from his old word and find a way for the witches to relax.

The simplest possibility is to make a card game. But the soft plain paper it has is not suitable for card games, shuffling is also troublesome. However, with Soraya, he was finally able to make some things more advanced.

"Entertainment?" He lowered his head, wondering what kind of entertainment he painted 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 large arrow."

"Imagine?"

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

"Uh .. I will try it," Soraya closed her eyes, meditated for a while, then she took out her pen into her hand and immediately 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," praise Roland, "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 recalled the card on his head "The first circle is white in the middle with a layer of gold, and the second circle is orange with a layer of gold," he said.

When the circle is finished, Roland lets 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 one that had already been painted. The second design can cover the former painting perfectly, like a layered mask.

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

"Is this what you want?" She asked.

"This is just a one unit card, there are still many similar cards waiting to be painted by you. In the end, you'll 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 within the castle -

"Is there anything important to do? If not, let's play the game 'Gwent' first!"
