With the addition of Alger and his wife, the village’s construction went very smoothly.

Alger handed the drawing he had done to Joshua and said, “Now, the planning and the location of the house construction have been designed. Next, we need you to confirm the house’s structure. Will it be built with wood or a mixture of wood and soil?”

Hearing Alger’s words, Joshua was very surprised. This was a world of swords and magic. He did not expect the buildings to be so backward.

But on second thought, this was a wasteland that had not been developed for almost a thousand years, so it was definitely backward compared to the Empire.

Even the Empire was not that advanced. Buildings there were all built with natural stones.

So, Joshua decided to use the knowledge of his previous world to build bricks. He led the guards to search the surroundings.

When he had first joined the team, Georgi heard the rumors about the First Prince.

However, he found that the information of what people outside had told him did not match the person in front of him!

This made him puzzled. Could it be that the First Prince was the same as him? Was he chased out after being wronged by his family?

The two of them soon arrived at a small river. Joshua immediately took off his shoes and walked to the river. He used his hands to dig out the soil on the side.

After finding that the soil was of high-grade material, he washed his hands and feet and put on his shoes.

He had found the most common material he would need but he was still missing a very important thing, which was magic clay. This material was usually used to forge magic weapons and plastic films.

However, magic clay had another function: when it was added to ordinary soil and burned, it would become more solid.

This knowledge did not exist to the others, but he suddenly recalled the method of making red bricks in his previous world. After that, he suddenly had an idea and fused the two things together.

After systematic analysis, he came to the conclusion that this method was feasible.

Not only would the lifespan of the house that was built be longer, but it could also allow the magic that floated in nature to gather in the house through special magic circles.

However, the two of them searched around for a long time and did not find any place with magic clay.

With no other choice, Joshua could only bring his guards back to the village.

After lunch, Joshua went straight to the house of the omniscient old village chief.

When he saw Joshua, the old village chief nodded at him.

“Carl, I have something to ask you for help!”

When he heard that Joshua came to ask for help, the old Village Chief Carl immediately nodded.

Seeing that Carl agreed, Joshua said, “There’s a place nearby that doesn’t have magic clay. We need a lot of it! For the construction of the village this time, I’ve decided to use magic clay and ordinary clay to make bricks! After that, we’ll use these magical bricks to construct houses for all the villagers!”

Hearing this, Carl’s eyes immediately flashed with a bright light. After thinking for a few minutes, he said slowly, “Magic clay, huh? There’s some not far from the river to the east of the village. There’s a small dirt hill.

“You can start digging from there. You won’t need to dig too deep to find a lot of magic clay. This magic clay is enough for you to build countless villages.”

When Joshua came to this village, he noticed that old Village Chief Carl was extraordinary.

Despite having so many races around, no one objected to the exchange of power when Carl had announced him as the new village chief.

When they heard that the village chief had left his position, they all knelt down. From the sincere look in their eyes, Joshua could see many things.
