Chapter 13: Wonder Architecture

Given the course of the times, and the ability to assemble, Lawrence believes he still has some time to prepare.

In order to build the spectacle as quickly as possible, Lawrence had the men start training and the women going down the hill to carry the stones.

Early in the morning, Lawrence came down the mountain with a large number of cattle, sheep and women.

The main force is still Delen, whose ability can soften the soil within a radius of five meters, and of course connect stones several meters high.

Lawrence intended to build a height of fifty meters, a width of ten meters is enough, and it can also be built with only half a body.

The 50-meter colossus, which is only half of its upper body, is definitely more terrifying than the full-body statue.

The middle must be empty, which saves time and materials, and also makes it easier for Delenn to use witchcraft to strengthen the statue inside.

Lawrence searched for a place at the entrance of the village, found a relatively flat place, and quickly decided to build a wonder here.

"A lot of rocks were blown up on the mountain this winter, and now go and move those stones down, and if you think it's troublesome, you can just collect the stones from nearby!"

Lawrence put on pigskin armor, put on a wide-brimmed cowboy hat made of wild boar skin, and raised his hoe.

"Now let's start digging the hole!"

Five men and women began digging a pit with shovels and hoes, which was used to make the base of the Colossus.

This year's wheat has been harvested, next year's potatoes and crops have been planted, and these people have nothing else to do, so it is natural to accept being pulled to work.

Even in the previous places, this time was often when he was working for the nobles, and even had to serve as a peasant soldier.

Poorly fed and often abused, Lawrence was at ease here.

The level of acceptance is very high, even if they don't understand what Lawrence is going to do, but they all work obediently.

In fact, most of the time, the people at the bottom do not understand what the people above have to do, and whether the work and labor in their hands should be done or done.

Seravin and the blacksmith made farm tools on the mountainside, while Friesen and Emma moved with the Bhumithes or came to help.

The women carried the stones onto the planks and carried them over.

Or it is pulled in a basket placed on the cattle and sheep.

Even small children can pick up a few stones from the field and put them in a basket, and then carry them over to pour them in twos and threes.

By noon, a one-meter pit with a radius of five meters had been dug.

Lawrence looked into the distance, and Bull brought bread and egg and seaweed soup with several women.

"Master, lunch is ready."

Bull walked over with the basket and raised it in his hand with a smile.

Lawrence took it and opened the insulated cloth on it, which contained bread, goat's milk, hot eggs, soup bowls, strips of meat, and fruit.

"Let everyone rest for half an hour, and if the palm or body is injured, go to the town to wash their hands and bandage them briefly."

"Yes, master."

Bull quickly went down to make arrangements, and Lawrence sat down and began to eat.

Women, children, and men lined up at the entrance of the village to receive food, and in case of a sudden attack, they were all armed with weapons.

If the Wakiri come over, the children will go back to the mountains and call for the people, and the rest will fight here.

Lawrence was flanked by Keharan, Delen, and Saliel, and Sophia was left on the hill to build the Rejection Tree.

As he ate, Lawrence looked into the distance, where the women sat down with their little children to eat, holding the bread and eggs they had received.

There are already more than 200 laying hens and more than 500 chicks on the farm, and some of the young roosters will be killed before the winter to supplement the meat, and the hens will raise to expand the flock.

Bugs multiply very quickly in the summer, and Mount Talim attracts a large number of bugs to lay eggs, where chickens can easily obtain a lot of food and produce more eggs than in the spring.

There were enough eggs to eat one per person a day, so Lawrence provided more food as he stepped up his labor.

Meat, eggs, and milk only satisfied one egg, and the milk could not be used by these children who could run, and there were still more than 30 children on the mountain waiting to be fed.

More than 100 people have become more difficult to eat meat.

The more people there are, the more unbearable the cost of a treat.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone began to return to the mountain to rest.

Lawrence said to Bull: "When you go back, you and Sophia will register the people who are working today, there are fifty-four people in total, whether they are adults or children, you must remember clearly." ”

"Work an extra day now, and eat more pork after a while."

Bull nodded in response, "Yes!" Master! ”

Lawrence watched the crowd leave, and then looked at the pit that had been dug up the day.

After the rest of the group had dispersed, Lawrence set off with his weapons along with Khallan, Saliel, and Delen.

The four of them rode a Dom sheep that had rested for the day, and hurried to the village of the former Kurs.

It started at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and arrived at the village of Kur at 11 o'clock the next morning.

"The territory of the Vakiri is two or three days away from here, and four days from us, and this is their way through."

Lawrence stepped down from the sheep's back and looked at the nearby house, which was surrounded by an abundance of lush weeds.

"Khalan, is there a problem?"

The purpose of Kehalan and the others not to travel here, nor to guard this place.

Keharan looked at the nearby mountains and the trees in the distance.

"No problem, you can do it here, but it won't last long."

Lawrence said, "It's okay, just give them a little color, the Earl will definitely send someone over to find out the news, and let them know that the poisonous witch is doing something for me!" ”

Sariel said with some trouble: "But wouldn't it be a little bad for us to expose the witch?" ”

"There's nothing bad about it, if we don't show our strength, we'll die faster!" Lawrence also thought about these things, but also made a choice.

Keharan smiled, "We have a witch here, what are we afraid of?" Now that everyone outside knows about the existence of Lawrence Ravenfeather and knows that our prophet is a powerful wizard, then there is no need to hide the witch's affairs. ”

Saliel looked at Kehalan suspiciously, "Aren't you scared Keharan?" You killed someone out there and hid in. ”

Kehalan said indifferently: "It's been many years, don't overestimate the memory of those people, and it's not that I'm afraid to go out, it's that I'm used to living alone, and it wasn't until I met Lawrence that I realized that I should go out for a walk." ”

"By the way, I should probably call you the master like Sophia?" Keharan looked at Lawrence, teasingly.

Lawrence nodded, "Whatever you like." ”

Keharan smiled, "Yes, master. ”

Soon Kharan was at work, walking to the mound where Avari and the others had been buried, and using more skilled and powerful sorcery than Deren to make the surrounding plants grow even wilder.

Keharan's power is more terrifying than that of Delen, and it will not disappear when the witchcraft is stopped, whether it is the plants of Mount Talim or the plants of Kur Village, they will accelerate the decay of the surrounding flora and fauna.

Lawrence and the others had already avoided this place in advance and were waiting outside.

More than an hour later, Keharan came out of the dense forest.

"Plague and vines have taken over this place, and the forces of nature will devour the creatures that invade this forest."

Lawrence looked at the mysterious witch and nodded calmly.

The power of the Poison Witch comes from the forest, and most of the mysterious powers of this era also come from the forest, such as the druid's signature is to summon crows, man-eating ghoul vines, wolves, and bears.

The relationship between witches and the Holy See is hostile, and the two sides believe in different systems, one is the forest system, and the other is the civilization system established by humans who have come out of the forest.

The poison gas in the village of Kur can be delayed until after the onset of winter, because the closer the plants get to wilting, the stronger the poison gas becomes.

Of course, the Vakiri could get around there, but then they would have to climb the mountain.

Upon returning to the town of Phumesius, Delenn used her powers to combine the pieces of stone that had been piled together to form a stronger, complete stone.

The more magical the sculpture, the more unfathomable the power of the Raven Feather Prophet becomes.

Having bought enough time, Lawrence also had enough time to farm and build, as well as train slingers.

Spectacle architecture is a building that deters people on the outside, and there is also a building that stabilizes people's hearts on the inside.

"The mighty, majestic Lord of the Stars has sent down an oracle, and I hear the voice of God."

"God has stopped the Wakiri for us a little, and the next thing is God's test for us!"

"God says! It's going to rain today! Today we don't have to go out to work, we put away our clothes in advance, drive the cows, sheep and livestock back to the shacks, and then pray to God at home! ”

In the afternoon, it rained.

After discovering that they were favored by God, the people of the manor abandoned their fears and went about their work with peace of mind.
