In addition to Adams, Smith, and Collis, there are two other families in the small village of Nisse who are not optimistic about William and choose to leave with the Western Knight.

Both of them are considered middle-class in the village, otherwise they would not be able to afford the "protection fee" of Patras, which has risen in price again.

For these guys who don't have any skills, William is very easy to let go.

There is only one, and not a single grain of rye is allowed to be taken.

William forcibly used his own Pis gold coins to buy grain from their fields.

The Western Knight knew what William meant, but after all, he didn't dare to make too much trouble with William, and William didn't lower the price, but bought their grain at the standard purchase price, so the Western Knight groaned again and again and did not object.

As for Adams, the opinions of these people cannot enter the eyes of those in higher positions when they are not useful.

No one cared what they thought, and naturally, all the grain was bought by William.

For this, William paid 85 gold pis.

Although there were not a lot of Pith gold coins in their hands, Adams and the others did not feel happy at all, and their expressions were like dead fathers and mothers, and they fidgeted and followed the West Knight with a cloudy face, and returned to Patras City.

At the gates of Patras, after 50 of the 85 gold pith coins that Adams had not yet covered were looted, the Knight of West ignored them and went to the castle of New Will in Viscount Green.

Leaving the Addams family, standing in place in a daze.

In the castle of New Will, in the living room, in the silver-white border fireplace, the fire is burning.

Viscount Grien, dressed in a dark red leather coat, stood in front of an oil picture, with his back to the Western Knight.

In the painting, there is an elderly man with silver-white hair, and the age spots on his face cannot hide his eyes as sharp as an eagle and as greedy as a wolf.

After a long time, Viscount Greon said flatly, "Failed?" ”

There was no joy or anger in his voice.

"Yes, Lord Viscount. Only a few villagers were willing to follow us and leave, and the others chose to stay! "The Western knight is very respectful, and there is no arrogance in front of William at all.

Knowing how to advance and retreat is the reason why he is appreciated by Viscount Grion.

"Oh, interesting, how did he do it?" Viscount Greon still didn't turn around.

"He seems to have convinced Gretel......" Knight West pondered, not quite sure.

"Gretel, the messenger? That Andrew? ”

"Andrew's father, old Gretel, the people of the village listen to him more."

"I underestimated him, Baron Decas, and you surprised me." Viscount Grimn chuckled.

Knight West paused and asked, "Lord Viscount, what are we going to do now?" ”

"Only a few families have come to Patras?" Viscount Greon asked.

"Yes."

"How much food did they bring?"

"Not a single one!" "Baron Dicass did not let a grain of rye leave the village, and he bought all the grain with Pis gold. ”

Viscount Greon was silent, his eyes flashing with an unknown meaning, and after a moment, he sighed, "It seems that our Baron de Decas is determined to spend the winter in the small village of Nisse!" ”

Knight West also nodded, "He dug a lot of dirt and stones in the village, and it seems that he wants to build a wall!" ”

"Build a wall?" Viscount Greon sneered and said sarcastically, "A real high wall requires several years of hard work by nobles, throwing countless manpower and those lovely Pith gold coins, and what does our Baron de Ducas have?" A few hundred pariahs, or two months? Hahaha......"

"So," Knight West understood, "Lord Viscount, shall we just watch?" ”

"No, as a nobleman, how can he do such a thing?" Viscount Greon surprised the Knight of West and refused.

"I am sure that in the city of Patras the news of the little village of Nisse will soon spread. This would tarnish the reputation of the Greon family. West, I've heard that there are some wild people in the Cordillera......"

"Yes, Lord Viscount! You've always been so wise. ”

"The village of Nisse is like a granary with a lot of grain now, right?" Viscount Greon asked.

"Yes, Lord Viscount, and they don't have the decent strength to defend themselves yet." The Knight of the West heard the song and knew what it meant.

"That's so dangerous, they're like a big piece of fat now, and there are many big bad wolves in the wilderness......," said Viscount Greon with sudden "worry."

Knight West thought for a moment before he said, "Lord Viscount, I need a little time to find the big bad wolf in the wilderness!" “

"Be quick! I want to wait too long! Viscount Greon turned again to admire the painting.

The owner of the painting is the founder of the Greon family, and he left a motto to posterity: "The Greon family has no enemies!" ”

"Yes, you won't be disappointed!" The Western Knight paused heavily, then retreated.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After the West Knight and the others left, William began to release new missions non-stop.

After all, time waits for no one!

The small village of Nisse has changed to the same hot scene as before.

It's even gotten busier!

Men, women and children are all in battle!

Some were still sent to dig dirt and carry limestone, while others had new assignments.

First of all, brick making!

The clay is crushed by hand, sifted, kneaded with water into a fine thick mud, which is poured into a billet mold made by two carpenters in the village, then compacted, scraped off the excess mud, and finally made into a brick.

At this point, a large amount of labor is taken up.

No. 8 or 90 people rotate continuously, some are responsible for crushing, some are responsible for mud, and some are responsible for making billets, which can produce 60 bricks per minute.

Working in three shifts in two days, day and night, 60,000 bricks were made.

These 60,000 bricks were piled up and chopped into more than a dozen walls of inconsistent height.

Originally, the bricks would have taken a month or two to dry, but it was clear that William could not wait that long.

The wheat straw in the field is reused, harvested and roasted on both sides of the brick wall, and the water in the brick is dried by the power of the flame.

The flames burned all night, illuminating the entire village of Nisse.

The next day, William had more than 50,000 instant bricks, some of which had cracks for various reasons and had to be smashed and remade.

With the instant bricks, William began to direct the villagers to build brick kilns.

In Adams' field!

First, a cube was built with bricks, and the outer layer was sealed with mud except for a few holes for ventilation.

In the brick kiln, the instant bricks are stacked in a way that is easy to ventilate and heat, and firewood is stuffed in the middle.

Leave a few holes in the front of the bottom for filling the fuel.

When everything is ready, the brick kiln begins to light and burn the bricks.

And such brick kilns, William had ten built!

Ten brick kilns stood in Adams' fields, black smoke spiraling through the air like the breath of the devil, and finally blown away by the wind.

The firing of the bricks takes more than half a month.

At this time, there is no need to rush to make quick bricks.

The finished bricks are stacked into a wall, waiting for the natural air to dry!

Even with a large number of fired bricks, it is not enough!

Between bricks and bricks, a binder is needed to keep them tightly together and use the power of unity to resist the wind and rain.
