A week later, the town ushered in the last month of autumn in a heavy snowfall.

Roland looked out of the office window, and the snow-white roof was shaking a black figure—a work the townspeople had to do every day to shove the snow from the roof down to the ground, so as not to overwhelm the roof.

To this day, he has come into this world for exactly one year, but the autumn of the previous year was far from so cold, and from here he could not see so many neat and dense houses.

At that time, the town said that it was not surprising that the abandoned area was about to be abandoned, except for the open square around a circle of wooden houses that looked like a decent, and then all the mud houses and thatched huts were all broken.The aristocratic residence was also largely concentrated in the square, from which the only slate road led to the castle, and besides, the whole town could no longer see a flat ground, and the excrement of people and animals was left everywhere.

Now the road here is all replaced by water-stable pavement - even if there is no coverage layer, it is also a very good quality hard road, the dark lines will be silver and white town divided into many squares of different sizes, the spacious main road on both sides of the future reservation of commercial areas, the periphery is the residential area.

In addition, the industry in the border town has gradually begun to take shape, or finally from the workshop-style production to a self-circulating production line - of course, only the steam engine.The blast furnace area can produce iron ingots that meet the processing requirements, while the steam plant can process them as parts.Blacksmiths are no longer strangers to all kinds of machine tools, and at the same time bring a large number of apprentices, although those extremely accurate steam machine tools rely on Anna to make, but it is a very rare progress for them.After all, before that, these people had only touched the blacksmith hammer, or simply miner or Orion.

Let’s think of the workers who produce it on their own.

In addition, there is the production of bullets and gunpowder, all of which are arranged by ordinary people.The gun still needs Anna to do it himself, not because of the lack of machine tools, but because the town's blast furnace can not produce stable quality steel, which has been listed in the next stage of the problem.

The achievements of the chemical industry are much more surprising, probably without much hope, so any result is a surprise.Now sulfuric acid and nitric acid have begun mass production, chemical explosives also have eyebrows, as long as the bullet production can be raised, the replacement of a new generation of guns is not difficult.

It does not matter that the production mode is backward, and it is more important to solve the problem of whether the town is in the current situation.After the ability of white paper is stabilized and can be precisely controlled by its own magic, it may be possible for the chemical industry to usher in a new peak.

The most important thing is that no matter which production, or education and construction, the border town is now tending to a benign stage of development.As long as there is enough time, the number of educated people is increasing, and breakthroughs in various fields will become faster and faster.

In a year's time to turn a barren land into the way it is today, he poured out a sense of accomplishment from his heart.

Standing at the window looking at the town, Roland felt like he could see all day.

At this moment, a bell sounded in the northwest.

This is a warning of the evil beast.

After the demonic month arrives, about three to four days, the alarm bell will ring once.However, the first army has become well-established to deal with this situation, and it is no longer necessary for Roland to go to the city wall to supervise the war - it is thought that a year ago, if he did not appear in the vision of the militia, it is difficult to ensure that they will not leave their weapons and flee.

“Here’s the beast again, shall I see?”The sound of the nightingue came from his ear.

"Well," Roland nodded, "be careful to be safe."

"Don't worry, they won't touch me."

Then he felt a slight heat on his cheeks and the sound was gone.

Roland shook his head helplessly, probably on such a heavy snowy day, the witches were also bored, saying that it was to observe the situation, but in fact, to find something to do.In particular, several combat-type witches brought by Tiley will always go to the city wall for the first time to watch the battle, and those mixed evil beasts that can rush up to the wall can make their own hands.Since knowing this, the Nightingers have also been interested, and the alarm bells will follow, perhaps trying to be taller than the other party to see who is the strongest fighting witch.

Roland sighed in his heart and did not see her so attentive when she studied.

However, since fighting side by side can enhance the understanding between witches and ordinary people, he is too lazy to stop, the current wheel rifle to deal with ordinary evil beasts is good, in the face of the wolf and lion mixed species is still a little powerless, the ability of powerful witches to sit in the scene, can effectively stabilize the defense line, reduce the possibility of army casualties.

So far, there has not been a single death in the First Army.

The departure of the nightinge moved his heart, the fighting witch had its own depressing activity, and the auxiliary witch was not so much fun to find.It’s time to create some new entertainment.

Thinking about it, he called Soro.

“Do you have a new task for me to complete?”

The artist, who gave great credit to the border town, looked in good spirits, had a lot of freckles on his face, and he smiled with an undisguised youthful vitality.

She took the initiative to ask Roland slightly, why will there suddenly be a feeling of emptiness in her heart?

“Have you been busy lately?”

“No, why did you ask that?”Soroya dialed the hair in front of her forehead, "there are a lot of people who have gone to the factory recently, I can complete the coating coverage in only half a day, and Mr. Kemo, the alchemist, is busy for a while when he made those strange metal boxes," she said here, laughing, "but I prefer to live such a full life now than in the days of the co-assistant camp, and I am very happy that my ability can help you."

Oh, that smile is so glaring.

Roland couldn't help but feel a hint of sin, "Cough, I've called you to draw some new cards."

“More of the quintessoid?”

"No, you're probably tired of it," he waved, "after all, the rules are very simple, and if you know the bottom card in the other hand, there's not much change."

“Well, too...”

"You see, the new card is so, very simple," Roland drew out a blank sheet of paper, drawing a general sketch, "in four colors, then counting from one to thirteen, and finally adding a king and queen, fifty-four cards."

Soroya has now made great progress in her ability, and she quickly drew a hard-bottom-coated card directly from the bottom of the sketch, "How to play this?"

“It’s a lot of play, but we’re going to come from the simple,” Roland said, trying out poker and suddenly regaining the feeling of crossing.In the New Year, the most common thing for the family to do is to sit in the barrel of fire, watch the Spring Festival Evening, play all-night poker, until the firecrackers are lit during the day to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

Compared with another traditional entertainment mahjong, poker has no requirements for the venue, a board can start on the legs, and the gameplay is rich, the big budget is the most popular game in the world.

"Go and call Anna," laughed Roland, "and I will teach you to fight the landlords."
