Reborn as the Lord of Another World

Chapter nine

"Not many, Your Highness. There will only be two or three of these monsters in each Demonic Month. Otherwise, Longsong Fortress will face big trouble.""Very good, you observed carefully," Roland ordered the hunter to stand up, "What's your name? You don't look like a person from Graycastle."

"I am half Mojin, and people in the town call me Iron Axe."Mojin, the sand people in the desert in the southwest of the kingdom, is said to be the descendant of the sand giant. Roland searched for relevant memories in his mind, without using any force.

The name of the tribe was used instead of the title. Obviously, he didn’t want to have anything to do with the Sha people anymore. As for why he came to this remote place from the southwestborder, there are probably a series of sour stories.

But those are not the point. Border Town does not care about standing out.Roland clapped his hands and said, "That's all for today. Carter, reward each of them with ten silver wolves and take them down."

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness," the three of them said in a voice.After taking the people away, Carter Lannis turned back and said, "Your Highness, you ask these questions, do you want to stay here?"

Roland was noncommittal, "What do you think?""This is absolutely not going to work, Your Highness!" the knight said loudly, "According to the hunter, it is difficult to deal with an evil beast of the wild boar species alone. Fifty

If the crossbow cannot penetrate the target from outside, you have to wait until the forty or thirty steps before shooting. Only the elite soldiers of the fortress can do this. In addition, there are somany of them and there is no solid city wall to support them. If they rely on local guards to stop them, they will collapse if the number of casualties exceeds 1 level. "

"You said the same thing before seeing the Witch, can't you think on the bright side of everything?" Roland sighed."Although this... witch is evil, Anna... Miss Anna does not seem to be so. As your rider, I must seek truth from facts."

"Really, what if I gave you a city wall?"

"What?" Carter suspected for a moment that he had heard wrong."I will give you a city wall, right between the foot of the North Slope and the Gongshui River," Roland said word by word. "Although there is no siege of the Royal City of Graycastle.

The wall is so majestic, but it should still be able to be used to block strange beasts. ""Your Highness, do you know what you are talking about?" The rider laughed, "There must be a limit to your nonsense. If you don't stop by then, then

You can only forgive me for being rude. ""There are still three months, right? I've read past records and the first snow here mostly comes at the end of February after winter."

"Three years is not enough! Building a city wall requires a large number of workers, starting from the foundation with mixing plows. Every one to two feet of filling must be compacted,otherwise there will be a risk of collapse if the pile is high. This is still the simplest. "Building a city wall with bricks," Carter shook his head repeatedly, "a brick wall is even slower. It requires

hundreds of craftsmen to cut the blocks into square shapes in advance and then build them up piece by piece. Your Highness, any city wall is built like this. There are no exceptions when it comesto erection. Letting cities rise from the ground between day and night is a story only found in myths and legends.”

Roland said he didn't need to say any more, "I understand. You don't have to jump to conclusions so quickly. If there is no reliable city wall by then, I willEvacuated to Longsong Fortress with you. I have no intention of losing my life in this strange place. "

The rider knelt down on one knee and said, "I will protect you to the death!"*********************

In the castle garden, Roland took a sip of the bitter wine and looked at Anna who was concentrating on eating the cream pastry, and his mood recovered a lot.He has decided to stop the evil beast in Border Town - he can't even defend the base camp, so what else can he do? Want to build a building connecting the North and South within three months

The city walls of slopes and rivers must adopt reasonable plans and cutting-edge technology.Roland didn't just have a sudden idea. He had inspected the surrounding areas of Border Town (although he didn't go there himself), and he still had a clear picture in his memory - the

distance between the foot of the North Slope Mountain and the Gongshui River was only about 600 meters. , is simply a natural pass. The Beipo Mine has been mined for many years, so thesurrounding area is filled with rock fragments mined from the cave.

The cross-sections of these broken stones are gray and white in color and are rich in calcium carbonate. They can be used as ash after being ground. And when you have ash, you

have cement.That's right, this hydraulic material that changed the history of human construction has a wide range of raw materials, is simple to prepare, and is one of several sharp tools.

Roland estimated in his mind that he had no idea about making concrete. It was not that it was technically impossible, but the amount of cement that needed to be consumed was toolarge. He was not sure that he could produce so much water in three months. Clay powder. In addition, concrete has poor toughness and needs to be used with steel bars to become a

complete body. Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to make a concrete city wall.If you want to save as much cement as possible and make use of existing materials, then self-weighted stone walls are the most appropriate choice.

The so-called stone is unpolished stone, showing the natural appearance when it was first mined. Because of the irregular shape of the edges, this kind ofstone cannot be built directly. It requires a craftsman to shape it into a brick before it can be used. The stone wall uses cement as the adhesive. No matter how strange

the shape of the stone is, it can be piled up. The gaps between the stone heads are filled with cement, which saves water and does not have to choose materials. .The general direction has been set like this, but in actual implementation, I'm afraid I have to do it myself, Roland thought. Whether it's calcined cement or

building walls with stone, it's all brand new. Except for yourself, no one has seen these things, and no one knows how to do them. I'm afraid the next three months willbe very busy.

"look."Anna's clear voice came from behind.

Roland turned her head, only to see a small cluster of flames quietly appearing in her palm. There was obviously no smoke around, but the flame tip was rising and falling, as if looking at her.Nod in greeting. She shook her finger, and the flames moved slowly towards her fingertips like a toddler. Finally, it rests on the top of the finger and calms down,

"you did it."An incredible scene, Roland admired in his heart. This is not a magic trick or a chemical trick, but a true superlative.

The power of nature. But this was not what attracted Roland the most - what was more dazzling than the flames was Anna's expression.

She stared at her fingertips intently, her lake-like clear eyes reflecting the dancing flames, like an elf sealed in a sapphire stone. The traces of torture in prison had faded on her body,

and although she still rarely smiled, her face was no longer lifeless. A little bit of sweat is dripping from the girl's small eyebrows, and her white and rosy cheeks are exuding vitality, which makespeople feel happy even just looking at them.

"What’s wrong with you?""Ah...it's okay." Roland then noticed that he had been staring at her for too long. He looked away and coughed twice, "Then what happens next?"

Try using it to melt iron. "In the past few days, in addition to eating and sleeping, she would practice repeatedly in the shed. The hard work made Roland ashamed - even though

He had never worked so hard for the college entrance examination.It seems that it won't be long before she can master this power, Roland thought. In this way, new projects that have been conceived for a long time can also be followed.

It’s on the schedule.
