Evil Moon (Part 2)
Chapter 9:Evil Moon (Part 2)
"There are not many, Your Highness, there will only be two or three such monsters in every demon month, otherwise the long song fortress will face great trouble."
"Very well, you observe very carefully," said Roland Orion, rising, "what's your name?"They don't look like a Grey."
"I'm half of the Mokinese, and the town calls me an iron axe."
Morkin, the sand people in the deserts southwest of the kingdom, is said to be a descendant of the Saudi giants.Roland searched for relevant memories in his mind, he did not use the clan name, but used the title, obviously do not want to be related to the sand people.As for why he came to this remote place from the southwest border, there is a series of bitter stories.
But those are not the focus, the border town does not care about the origin.
Roland clapped his hands, "Ask here today, Carter, and give each of them ten silver wolves, and take them down."
“Thank you for your reward,” the three men said in unison.
After taking the man away, Carter Lannis returned, “Your Highness, you ask these questions, do you want to stay here?”
Roland said, “What do you think?”
“This is not going to happen, Your Majesty!”The knight said aloud, "In the words of the hunter, it is difficult to deal with the evil beast of the wild boar breed alone."Fifty steps outside the bow can not wear, you have to wait for forty steps, thirty steps before shooting, this is only the elite soldiers of the fortress can do.In addition to their large number, they do not have a solid wall to rely on, and if they are blocked by local guards alone, they are afraid that more than one achievement will be destroyed.”
"You said the same thing before you saw the witch, can't you think about the good side of everything?"Roland sighed.
"This . . . witch is evil, but Anna...Miss Anna does not look so, as your knight, I must be realistic."
“What if I give you a wall?”
“What?”Carter suspected for a moment that he had heard wrong.
"I give you a wall between the foothills of the north slopes and the river of the Red Water," said Roland, "and although it is not as majestic as the wall of the castle of the castle of the castle, it should be possible to stop the strange beast."
“Your Highness, do you know what you are talking about?”The knight was laughed at, "There must be a limit to the nonsense, and if you don't leave at the time, you can only forgive my rudeness."
“Three more months, isn’t it?I read the past records that most of the first snow here came in late February after winter.”
Three years is not enough!The construction of a city wall requires a large number of workers, starting from the basics with mixed earth ramming.Every one to two feet to be rammed once, otherwise the pile will be high and there will be a risk of collapse."This is still the simplest wall of the soil," Carter shook his head, "the brick and stone wall is slower, and hundreds of stonemasons need to hew the stones into squares in advance and build them up one block after another."This is how any wall is built, and there is no exception.Let the city rise up day and night, that is the story of the legend of the legend.”
Roland motioned that he didn’t have to say more, “I see.You don't have to come to conclusions so quickly, if there is no reliable wall, I will withdraw with you to the long song fortress.I don't want to leave my life in this damn place."
The knight knelt down on one knee and said, "I will protect you to the death!"
*********************************************************************************************************************************************
In the castle garden, Roland took a bitter wheat wine and looked at Anna, who was intent on eating cream pastries, and his mood was restored a lot.
He had decided to stop the evil beast in the border town—not even the base camp could hold it, and he talked about what kind of planting fields.In order to build a wall connecting the North Slope and the Red Water River within three months, a reasonable solution and cross-era technology must be adopted.
Roland was not a whim, he had looked around the town on the ground (although not in person), and there was still a clear picture in his memory - the foothills of the North Slope and the bare water river were only more than 600 meters in the nearest, which was simply a natural pass.The north slope mine is surrounded by rock formations mined from the cave due to year-round mining.
These gravel sections are grayish-white and rich in calcium carbonate, and can be used as limestone after grinding.With limestone, it is equivalent to having cement.
Yes, this has changed the history of human construction of water hard materials a wide range of raw materials, simple preparation, one of the real field tools.
Roland estimated in his mind that the concrete was not thinking about it, not technically unable to do it, but the amount of cement that needed to be consumed was too large, and he was not sure to burn so much cement powder in three months.Coupled with the poor concrete toughness, it is necessary to use with steel to become a complete body, so it is obviously not realistic to make a concrete wall.
To maximize the savings of cement, but also the use of existing materials, then the Maoshi self-weight wall is the most appropriate choice.
The so-called bristles are ungrounded stone, which is the natural appearance of being just mined.Such stone because the angular shape is irregular, can not be directly built, need the mason to work into a brick in order to use.The stone wall is cement as the adhesive, no matter how strange the shape of the stone can be piled up, the gap between the stone and the stone is filled by cement, both to save cement and not pick materials.
The general direction is set in this way, but in fact, it is implemented, I am afraid that I still have to do it myself, Roland thought.Whether it is boiling cement or bristling walls, it is a completely new thing.No one has seen these things except themselves, and no one knows what to do.I’m afraid the next three months are busy.
“You see.”
There was Anna’s crisp voice behind her.
Roland turned his head and saw a small cluster of fire in her hand, and there was clearly no wind around her, but the flame was up and down, as if noding to her.She shook her finger, and the flame was like a toddler, moving slowly toward her fingertips.In the end, it stays at the top of the index finger and calms down.
"You did it."
An incredible scene, Roland in the heart of the admiration.This is not a magic trick, nor is it a chemical trick, but a real supernatural force.But it wasn’t the place that attracted Roland the most—more dazzling than the flames was Anna’s look.
She gazed intently at her fingertips, and the clear eyes of the lake reflected a leaping flame, like a sealed elves in a sapphire.The traces left on her body had faded, and although she still rarely laughed, her face was no longer lifeless.The tiny tip of the girl's nose oozes a little sweat, and the red cheeks in the white exude vitality, even if you look at it, it will make people feel happy.
“What happened to you?”
"Ah... it's all right," Roland noticed himself staring at her for too long, and he looked away and coughed twice. "Then try to burn the iron pieces with it."
These days, in addition to eating and sleeping, she will practice repeatedly in the shed, and the hard work made Roland sweat - even in the face of the college entrance examination he had not been so excited.
It didn’t seem long before she could master this power, Roland thought.In this way, the new project that he has been thinking about for a long time can also be put on the agenda.
