City Wall
Chapter 13:City Wall
The production of cement was soon on the right track, and in order to give Anna a full rest, the firing room started once every two to three days.When not ignited, as much raw materials as possible, Roland issued another recruitment order to double the number of gravel workers.
But he also knew that he could not rely on Anna to do these things all the time.Long-term work in the dust environment will make people have cystine disease, coupled with the future scale of production expansion, an Anna is far from enough to use the demand.
Witches should not be used as consumables, but as engines of civilization.Although Roland understood this in his heart, he could only devote all his energy to the construction of the wall.The beast cannot be stopped, and nothing can be said.
The foundation of the wall connecting the North Slope Mountain and the Redwater River has begun to be excavated.According to the practice before crossing, as the head of the project, he personally dug out the first shovel of the soil in front of a group of stunned onlookers.
It was thought that after the cement problem was solved, it was easy to build a wall, but it was actually done to find that he knew nothing about the project.How deep is the base and how wide is it?How to solve the problem of low and low?How to ensure that more than 600 meters is built in a straight line?Instead, he had seen a group of young men looking around with instruments and rulers when the city was building roads, which seemed to be called latitude and longitude and level gauges.But there is nothing here!
As a mechanical drawing dog, Roland moved the brick dog with the wood next door and called the polytechnic double dog, but the content is far from the place.And the hired mud craftsmen have not been involved in the construction of large-scale projects, which can be described as inferior to themselves.Therefore, the progress of the wall after the construction of the wall was extremely slow, and half of the shallow grooves were dug out within a week.
Once the project is out of control, it is difficult to say what the final product will look like.For example, this shallow trough that is hard to dig out is not so much the foundation of the city wall, but rather the aptness of a drain.Although Roland drew a roughly width during excavation, the width of the excavation was obviously removed, and the narrower it became narrower and narrower.Standing in the distance, it was like a small snake.
Even then, Roland didn’t want to stop.In the spirit of being able to dig a little bit, as long as the firing room does not start, he will stay at the foot of the North Slope all day, adjust the extension direction of the base pit with the naked eye, and slowly move forward.At the same time, he also doubled the remuneration of the Shangshi artisans.
Fortunately, this embarrassment did not last long, Roland in the firing room command to prepare to cook the sixth batch of cement, the minister's assistant Barov reported that there were stone craftsmen to respond to recruitment, that it was in the gray castle stonesmiths will stay, people have been taken to the courtyard to wait for see.
He thought a little of the anger of the gray castle stoners in their memory, but the famous organization, even the four princes have heard their names.Although it seems that it was because of a construction accident was ordered to be dissolved, but how can this be done without incident?
“Take him in,” Roland said with a calm expression and nodded.He had meant to ask Anna to avoid it, but then he thought about it.There are more than 2,000 people in the border town, and there are not many people who have seen the true face of witches.And Anna's appearance at this time has been determined to kill two people before, plus a strange dress, it is estimated that even if you have seen it, you can't recognize it.
When Carl van Gogh was brought into the courtyard by the knights, he intended to tell His Highness that this season was not suitable for large-scale works, and that he would slowly change his view of the witch after gaining the confidence of His Highness.But it is rumored that His Highness has always acted, and what should be done if he is discouraged if he is counterproductive?
He bowed in distraughtness, but when he looked up, he froze—the girl next to His Highness was so familiar that he gave him the illusion that he was dreaming.Karl rubbed his eyes, looked again, and couldn’t help but shout, “...Anna!”
The trough, Roland called the heart is bad, this is too coincidental, any craftsman can also recruit the witch's neighbor?It seems that the other party is absolutely familiar with Anna, otherwise it is impossible to identify it in a single moment.He turned to Carter Lannis, the chief knight, who was leading the way, immediately pulled the door bolts up and blocked it on the only exit.
“Old teacher?”
Anna's reaction made Roland not come back to God for a moment, what, teacher?
“It’s really you, Anna, me...” Karl only felt his eyes warm, and then something flowed down.He fell to his knees and kept repeating, “I’m sorry, sorry... great, too... well...”
After a while Karl van Burt calmed his mind, and he slowly got up and stooped again to Roland. "I am very sorry, my Highness, I have fainted."
"What's the matter?"Aren't you a stonemason?"
“I used to be,” Karl answered as soon as he put his heart down.His Highness did not kill Anna, and the replacement was hanged on the execution grounds – and when he realized this, he already knew what to do.Although it is not clear why the other party should save a witch, in any case, even if your Highness wants to include her in the dormitory, it is much better than sending her to the gallows.This at least shows that His Royal Highness is not afraid of the rumors that witches are the incarnation of the devil.
He recounted his exile from the Grey Castle to the border town, including the opening of a college and the discovery that student Nanawa Pine had also become a witch.Finally, he implored His Highness to hide Nanawa into the palace, so as not to be persecuted after being exposed.
After listening to Anna, although she wanted to intercede for Nanawa, she never said a word.
Another new witch, this is really great news, but the name of Pyne seems to have been heard somewhere.Roland asked the assistant minister quietly, only to know that it was the surname of a small nobleman in the border town.
“You can bring her to me, and if she’s a witch, I promise she won’t be hurt,” Rowland promised, “but I can’t take her away from the Pyne family, especially before she’s under any real threat from her family.”Also, I saved Anna, and it wasn’t as you thought...” He thought, and decided to make it clear, “I need her help.”I believe more in the power of witches than the nonsense of evil, and I believe that the power of witches has nothing to do with good and evil and can be controlled.So neither Anna nor Nanawa, any witch, as long as it has not done anything illegal, I will not think they are guilty."
“Let’s talk about the right thing, you’ve been involved in the construction of the wall of the Grey Fort?”The prince turned the subject back to the construction.
“Yes!”Carl nodded, although His Royal Highness the Four Princes did not take Nanawa as he thought, and it was confusing to need the help of the witch, but he was willing to protect Nanawa's safety, which was enough.
"Very well, I intend to build a wall at the foot of the Redwater River and the North Slope to resist the invasion of evil beasts."Now you are in charge of the project.”
