Verse 65, Saints
Early the next morning, Bruce walked out of his lord's house, he looked at the wooden wall standing in front of the lord's house, the shadow cast in the doorway, the serfs yawned and came to the construction site at the urging of Elder Warren, and Stukov and the others came out of the soldiers' longhouse.
"What are we going to do now?" Stukov looked up at the wooden wall, then at the silent Bruce, and asked curiously.
"Tear down the wooden walls." Bruce commanded to Stukov.
"What, tear it down?" Stukov looked at Bruce like a monster.
Wooden walls can be filled with stones to increase defense, this method of defense is not something that no one has done, but Bruce asked Stukov and others to tear down the wooden wall, which is very strange, without the reinforcement of the wooden wall, the filling simply cannot withstand a blow from the enemy.
The villagers of Glynton are actually very happy about building the wall, after all, in this dangerous era, robbers, soldiers and wild beasts are threatening the safety of the villagers, and there is a fortification in the territory, once the danger comes, they can hide inside, but now the lord actually wants them to tear it down, which makes the serfs a little overwhelmed.
"Tear it down, do you want me to say it again?"
Bruce said with some dissatisfaction, this time no serf dared to disobey the lord's order, they hurriedly took all kinds of tools and Ping Pong Bang Bang was busy for a while, and dismantled all the wooden walls, because Bruce asked them not to destroy the wood, and the speed of disassembly was a little slower, but when the last board was unloaded, the onlookers were shocked by the scene in front of them.
"What's, what is this?" Eve looked at the gray wall mixed with cobblestones, and then she understood that the wooden wall was just a mold.
"How is that possible?" Elder Warren walked over to the wall, and poked his cane in his hand, and found it to be very hard, whereas yesterday it was nothing more than a soft, viscous mixture.
"Lord God above, what kind of magic is this?" Stukov looked up dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but stretch out his index finger in prayer.
"Magic, this is definitely legendary earth magic." Mavis blinked as she amazed at her sister Monica.
"It's amazing, if Mother is here, she will know the mystery." Monica looked at the magical wall from under her hood, and it was incredible how a night's work had turned the soft clay into a solid stone wall.
"Now follow this section of the cement wall, continue to make molds out of wooden boards, and then mix the cement for pouring." Bruce looked at the first concrete wall that appeared in his territory, which shocked everyone and couldn't help but smile proudly.
"Yes, my lord." The serfs looked at Bruce at this time with a change in their eyes, and they were able to conjure up a wall overnight, in the eyes of these illiterate serfs, the Bruce in front of them was like those wizards with mysterious powers in ancient mythology, although they would obey in the face of nobles, but they were not necessarily afraid from the heart, but a legendary wizard was different.
"Bruce, are you a wizard?" Stukov looked at Bruce, he couldn't help but pull away for a while, and said in a trembling voice.
"What, it's just the simplest cement." Bruce shrugged his shoulders, he didn't know how to explain it.
"Lord Bruce, how do you know this, this kind of thing?" Little Lorianne was dumbfounded, she blurted out a question, but also asked about the doubts in people's hearts, Bruce was moved, if he couldn't give a reasonable explanation, maybe he would cause trouble, such as: the judge of the church.
"Ahem, actually, that was when I first arrived in Greenton, Anne, you know I was in danger, but I didn't die, I just passed out." Bruce looked around and noticed that people were staring at him, and he came up with a reason for it.
"That's right, you were going to climb a tree, and I persuaded you to come." Anne nodded, indicating that this had happened.
"But I fell from the tree, right, I was actually struck by a light from the sky, and in my dazzle I saw an old man with blonde hair and a golden beard appear in the sky." Bruce's heart blushed slightly, but he continued to make up the story unhurriedly, and began to fool the people of Greenton.
"Ah, the old man in the sky." Obviously, people in the Middle Ages were very fond of this, and they heard Bruce think about it, and if it was a normal person who said that, even a nobleman would think of him as a madman, but Bruce created the miracle of building a city wall overnight, and people couldn't help but believe it.
According to the Golden Sacred Codex, chapter 6, subsection 8, paragraph 4. The Lord God pointed out the way of escape for the Dias, but the ferocious Temyans sent an army of 30,000 men in hot pursuit, and the Dias were forced into the ravine, and at this moment of crisis, the Lord God sent a miracle, and a three-foot high wall rose from the ground, stopping the pursuit of the Tamians. Suddenly, an old voice sounded, as if from the empty wilderness, and people seemed to see the story of the ancestors of the Dias people who migrated to the continent of Dias after suffering in the time of the prophets recorded in the holy scriptures.
"Elder." When Eve and the others saw it, Warren, the elder on crutches, said loudly that it was he who quoted the chapters of the Golden Sacred Text.
"The only ones who can cause miracles are the saints." Elder Warren ignores Eve and the others, and he makes a definitive conclusion about Bruce's actions.
"Saints?"
"Wow~~, is this possible?"
"A nation with saints will be the richest and most powerful." The serfs remembered religious prophecies that saints were human beings who were believed to be favored by the Lord God, but possessed great miraculous powers.
"Is that so?" Bruce touched the back of his head, he just casually made up a reason, he didn't expect Elder Warren to help him lie.
"Mavis, is this really a miracle?" Monica was also a little puzzled, her and her sister's first instinct was magic, but if it was a miracle, it seemed to make sense.
"I, I don't know." Mavis frowned, she was puzzled in her heart, magic and miracles are legendary stories, even if they are called swamp witches, they can't tell the difference.
Bruce didn't pay attention to Elder Warren's words, he continued to urge the serfs to build the city walls, this time the serfs were more motivated, not only for the delicious food provided by Bruce, they thought that with a saint lord, then Glynton would become a prosperous land to live and work in.
The cement walls were built one after another, and the connected cement walls soon surrounded the lord's house, which was the inner city of the castle, and having an inner city meant that Glinton already had a rudimentary defense, and if the territory was attacked by the enemy, the serfs in the outer villages could abandon their houses and take their families into the inner city to hide, where the lord's granaries and warehouses were located, and the tall walls could also protect the serfs.
"Build towers of wood on both sides of the gate." Bruce's gates were made of wood, and the towers on either side of the gates were made of wooden towers, and the battlements were made of wood, but even then much less wood was used.
"It's a miracle that a shipload of volcanic ash has built an inner city, Lord Bruce." Stukov looked at the inner city that had been built in five days, and he exclaimed with heartfelt admiration, for there was no such talent to build a city in the entire empire, no, in the entire kingdom of the continent of Dias.
"Haha, Stukov, don't be in a hurry to pat me on the back, you need to go to Randall's harbor and bring me two ships of volcanic ash so I can build a wall that will enclose the whole of Glinton." Bruce only smiled slightly at Stukov's admiration, raised his hand and made a circle around him, and said to Stukov.
"The wall that encloses the entire Glinton, tsk, it's a big deal, and only you, Lord Lord, can do it." Stukov looked at the place where Bruce had hand-drawn past, imagining what it would be like to be surrounded by such a concrete wall, and his mouth was amazed.
