Chapter: 14 Ability

“Your Highness, how tall and wide should the city wall that you’re planning to build be?”

“It should be at least fifteen feet high, six feet wide, allowing for four men to advance side by side on top of it,” Roland had to nod inwardly, professionals truly weren’t the same as ordinary people They would first ask about the technical pararam

“So it will require for us to dig a trench one man deep to stabilize the upper part of the wall, in addition, for a six foot wide top of a fifteen foot high wall, the width at the base will need to be at least doubled” Karl replied quickly, “Thus just digging the trench also will consuivethe trench the months prior to the demons’ arrival ”

“A trench cannot stop the evil beasts,” Roland answered noncommittally

“That’s true, but if we build the upper section of the city ith stone masonry, it will take three years time In order to only stop the evil beasts, you needn’t build the wall so high, approxih The width can also be reduced by a third, resulting in a six-foot wide foundation With si of the wall, as well as an increase of the workers to two hundred… In that way, I should be able to finish it by January, in the next year, before the arrival of the demons”

Karl paused, then said, “Please forgive ood time to start In case the construction of the wall is not on ti well, they will still lose their original forhout the winter When you return, instead of finishi+ng it, you would only need to spendtrench, excavating and deepening it one more time “

“Say, in case we only build the wall twelve feet high and four feet wide, how long would you need to dig the trenches?”

“It should be finished within one and a half months,” Karl replied

“Then do it according to this plan, trenching andat the same time, so that we succeed a month prior to the arrival of the de Karl, “I knohat concerns you, but take a look at this, this is the latest work from the Graycastle alchemical workshop”

Naturally, he had no ti process Instead, he showed hiether earlier Fortunately, when the prince spoke, almost no one dared to question him When Karl heard that this alchemical adhesive ceht, furtherh adhesion effect, his face exposed his incredible shock As a stonemason who had dedicated half of his lifetireat this invention has gone Apart fro, the most iure! Wouldn’t that be equivalent to no longer needing a second cutting and polishi+ng process, being suitable for any loosely shaped stone? The tiether and the construction rate of any building could be raised to a whole new level This alone was exciting enough!

Roland looked at the expression on Karl’s face with satisfaction, and once again asked, “What do you think, will three h?”

Karl van Bart’s voice soht, no, no, I mean… If the alche to try”

“Very good, I will let people summarize the detailed infor else you need to discuss with me, then feel free to talk with hed, “Mr Karl, from now on you will be the chief of the employees’ office “

On the next day Roland saw Nana in the afternoon The little girl stared blankly at Anna, clutching her clothes for a long ti, “I’m already… Dead?”

The first time Roland saw her, he had to adive theed their appearance and temperament She and Anna were very different types, but both of thee, and it was also unrelated to their situation Even when Anna was in jail, waiting for her death sentence, the radiance she eh his entire ing or a street walker in Graycastle, neither had given off such an aura If one insisted on describing it, then compared with other woman, it was as if the witches were the colors in a black and white photograph
