Entering the frost month, the weather is getting colder and colder.

Especially this bitter cold place.

Every morning, the water vapor in the air condenses directly on the ground or plants to form tiny ice needles, or hexagonal frost flowers, which are white in color and loose in structure.

William's face was not angry, and he came to the city wall wearing several leather clothes sewn together by animal skins.

The walls of the city have been completed.

The three-meter-high wall, with rammed earth in the middle, is only two meters high, and is paved with bricks, forming a one-meter-wide road.

The wall door has been successfully installed thanks to the hard work of several carpenters and apprentices.

The two gates were thick and covered with a layer of iron sheets.

For the sake of this layer of iron sheets, the small village of Nisse consumed all the iron ore in the village.

Because of the construction of the city wall, the need for bricks also decreased, and there was no need for so many wild slaves to carry out this work.

But that doesn't mean they're idle.

This period of labor improved their obedience, and under the selection of the magic mirror, William drew two hundred and fifty meters of able-bodied wild slaves from it.

Together with the fifty servants who had been selected earlier, there were three hundred.

The three hundred savage slaves, each equipped with a wooden spear, were led by members of the regular escort team and underwent low-to-medium intensity physical training every day, as well as stabbing training.

Although this move is a grinding gun, it is better than nothing!

When the time comes, William plans to arrange them on the city road to act as a protection on the city road.

With three hundred servants with wooden spears, sixty regular guards with wooden shields and iron spears, and six knight-level escort captains, William's strength swelled to three hundred and sixty-six at once, and it was much easier to do anything.

The first thing William did was to establish a system of patrols.

Because there were few troops and many things in the past, William let his escort focus on defending certain key positions, and other positions could only be ignored temporarily.

It's okay during the day, but at night, the defenses of the entire Nisse village are really full of holes!

It's not like a castle, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and ordinary people can't touch it at all.

The small village of Nisse is on flat ground, and there is no danger to defend at all!

If William hadn't had the Magic Mirror to fill in the gaps, maybe William would have been killed by the killers sent by the Scarlet Hand a long time ago!

Therefore, after having a little more troops at hand, William immediately set about setting up a patrol system.

The number of vigils at the two gates increased.

Bonfires are lit every night on the roads of the four walls, and a few guards and servants are sent at intervals to watch for crises from various places in the night.

In addition, there are two night patrol teams, which patrol the entire town from two directions along a fixed route, once in a while.

What William didn't expect was that after doing so much protection, he didn't feel anything himself, but the villagers and wild slaves, looking at the majestic escort team every day, and what they were doing, the sense of security in his heart actually strengthened a lot, and his face, which became gloomy and worried as the weather became colder and colder, also showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time.

If it is a game now, then William will definitely be able to see that in his territory, the index of people living and working in peace and contentment in his territory has improved a lot.

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

The remaining wild slaves and some of the original villagers of Nisse were not idle, and they were basically sent to the open-pit coal yard to mine coal.

The people here call the coal mine blackstone.

With such a group of new forces joining, the mining volume of Blackstone has surged a lot.

Every day, more blackstone is transported to the brickyard, where it is made into slime and then turned into honeycomb coal.

And then at this point, a new problem arises.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and even if there is sun during the day, the sun seems to be cold.

Honeycomb coals that are left to dry outside not only do not dry, but become more humid.

Wet honeycomb coal simply cannot ignite.

William, who had this happening, had a bit of a big head.

If heating is not guaranteed in winter, not to mention the shacks where the wild slaves live, let alone the leaky thatched huts where the villagers live, a group of people will die.

William racked his brains and began to ponder the question.

Its practical fire drying is a good and simple way to operate, but for William, the cost is a bit high.

With so much firewood, why did William bother developing honeycomb coal?

William thought about it for a long time, and finally one night, while using the gourmet table to make dinner, he suddenly came to his senses.

Since the food table can be made and used by selecting ingredients from the nearby area, can William specify the object of the food table and specify the category to be obtained?

Seems like you've been doing it all along?

Looks like you can give it a try!

William suddenly had the idea of experimenting.

The magic of the food table that day was exhausted by William, and William had to wait for the magic of the food table to recover the next day, and then began his own experiments without stopping.

After reciting the incantation, William's mind was all about the damp honeycomb coals that were placed in the open air in the village, and all he thought about was extracting water from these honeycomb coals.

These thoughts only passed through William's mind, and a clay pot filled with pure water appeared out of thin air on the gourmet table.

William rushed out of the door to see that the honeycomb coal, which was originally damp, had become extremely dry.

William took a few and burned them in a red clay stove.

The honeycomb coals quickly ignited, and an orange-red flame emerged, releasing warm heat.

William couldn't help but laugh, not only because the honeycomb coal matter was solved, but also because William discovered the deeper use value of the gourmet table.

Using him to cook food is simply too tyrannical.

It's a separator!

Or automatic!

The only problem is that I often encounter the problem of not having enough power.

But it doesn't hurt.

William's mind suddenly came to mind with whimsical thoughts....................................................

After solving the drying problem of honeycomb coal, there will be no obstacle to the production of honeycomb coal.

A large amount of honeycomb coal is made.

Even though a lot of them are sold every day, there are still more and more honeycomb coals.

William put out the houses of a few villagers who had left the small village of Nisse and used them as warehouses for honeycomb coal.

The honeycomb coal warehouse is being filled with a speed that is visible to the naked eye!

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

Most of the hard work was contracted by wild slaves, but this did not mean that the villagers of the original small village of Nisse could enjoy the blessings.

In fact, they still have to work!

After all, work makes people happy!

It's just that the nature of the work is different from the one who sold his physical strength at the beginning.
