Release that Witch - Chapter 136

[Chapter 135 Starting from the Basics]

——”There are more and more devils, and we are getting fewer and fewer. The holy city of Taquila has fallen, and we are running in all directions. Over the mountains, across the rivers, and escape as far as we can from the gates of hell. But Where else can we escape next time?”

“What do you think?” In the office, Roland closed the book of illusion and asked the scroll.

“If the knight remembers correctly, this is really a great coincidence.” The scroll pondered for a moment, “The content in the treasure map is consistent with the essays recorded in the ancient books, which can be said to prove from the side that the church once lived in the wilderness. A city was built deep in the ground to resist the devil. The location marked on the blueprint may be a defense tower, outpost, warehouse or other facility they built.”

“You mean…it’s not a real treasure map ”

Of course, the church is not bandits or pirates. They don’t need to hide their treasures and leave a blueprint for future generations.”

Roland nodded, “That’s true. Then… this is actually a map ”

“Ten chances. Although I don’t know why the church didn’t record the history of this period, I think there must be more than one relic buried in the forest in the east.” The scroll analyzed, “If the location marked The facility is just an above-ground building, and it is difficult to leave anything after hundreds of years have passed. But if it has a storage warehouse such as a basement, it is likely to be another underground relic. Through it, we may be able to find some clues.”

“What clue?”

“Why did the church hide the existence of the devil? Why did they resist the devil, but kept it secret?” She paused, her voice lowered a bit, “And…why do they treat witches as devils? Come to hunt?”

Roland didn’t know how to comfort him, so he was silent for a moment, and then slowly said, “Unfortunately, I don’t know if his drawing is accurate or not. According to him, the original drawing is not so neat as if it was drawn by hand. So-so.”

“Would you like Nightingale to visit the knight’s residence?”

“It’s not appropriate,” Roland vetoed. “For a family that can pass down a treasure map for hundreds of years, the storage room may be full of God’s Stone of Retaliation and traps. Let’s talk about this later,” he compared with his fingers It is longer than the side of the triangle, “Anyway, we can’t reach this place now. If we regard this point at the foot of the northern slope as a mining area, the location of the six-pointed star is at least 50 kilometers away from us, which is about the distance from Border Town to Longsong Fortress. The distance is too long. Except for the lightning that can reach it in one day, everyone else has to walk for two to three days. What if you encounter a devil on the way… I don’t want you to have any mistakes.”

“You can first let the lightning explore this area from the sky .

Woodland, maybe you can find something,” Shujuan suggested.

“This is a feasible solution.” Roland stood up, “I will tell her when she comes back. Now I’m going to the North Slope Mine. You should prepare the teaching materials for the lecture first. You need to copy a lot. If you don’t have a share, you can find Soraya, and you have to continue to teach them tonight.”

Roland combined the enlightenment teaching he received in elementary school with the court education method of the fourth prince, and instilled it into the scroll together, including classification memory, Phonetic reading and writing and reciting phrases.

With these, he believed that the other party would be a good teacher.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Shuan saluted.

The backyard of the firing room in the north slope mining area is now more than twice as large as before, and there are still two unfilled holes in the ground, where the blanks for the twelve-pound cannon were cast.

When Roland arrived in the backyard, Anna was practicing her new ability, and there were two manufactured steel pipes on the table.

He casually picked up one and looked at it. The whole body of the steel pipe is round, and the parts without pores on the surface are smooth and smooth. The round hole in the middle is the same as the outer wall, and you can see a linear highlight area when you align it with the sun.

Roland used his fingernails to check the thickness of the walls at both ends of the card, and found that they were basically the same.

Roland was amazed, “How did you make this?”

“Look,” Anna picked up a freshly cut steel rod, put it flat in her hand, and inserted a thin black wire from the end until it penetrated completely. The rod body, and then rotate around the center, and the hole is completed.

Amazing ability, he thought, cutting objects with high-heat magic wire, and at the same time with controllable precision, Anna is enough to push the town’s industrial products to a new height by herself.

He suppressed his excitement and said, “Let’s do some basic tests first.” The

basic tests include the scope of ability, strength and duration of ability.

Nightingale also appeared from the mist, and she was in charge of observing the changes in the magic power in Anna’s body.

The results show that, in addition to the substantial increase in the strength and duration of the ability, the range of action of the black flame is still between five meters, and precise control can only be performed within three meters.

At the same time, it is still a summoning ability, God’s Stone of Retaliation can remove the effect of Black Flame, or when Anna orders Black Flame to enter the range of God’s Stone of Retaliation, it will suddenly disappear.

It seems that unless it evolves to be able to use magic power directly, it will not be able to get around this hurdle.

Roland thought.

However, Anna’s new ability still has earth-shaking significance. Using black flames to make industrial master machines and reproduce various machine tools, the machining level can be regarded as a shortcut to rapidly increase.

However, large-scale industrial production is not something that one person can accomplish.

For example, one kiln built by Jean Karl on the north slope has been completed so far.

After it was put into use, it was found that the firing of clay bricks was okay, but the temperature of cement was still not up to standard, so that the cement needed by Border Town still had to be produced by Anna—fortunately, when she became an adult, she could do it even if she didn’t stay in the dusty room. Calcination can be completed.

It’s not that Roland can’t solve the problem that the furnace temperature can’t go up. For example, he can use a steam engine to blow air to increase the furnace temperature. UU Reading www.

sonicmtl.com Set up exhaust gas circulation channels to improve the utilization of lost heat energy.

But the production of the steam engine is also inseparable from Anna, from the casting of key components to welding, all have to be completed by her.

It can be said that the current industrial products in Border Town are all based on Anna’s ability. Once she is gone, the so-called industrial development is nothing but a spectacle.

During the month of demons, everything Roland did was for emergency. Now that the threat of evil beasts no longer exists, and Longsong Fortress has provided a large number of people and funds, he naturally wants to change this situation.

——”Start with the most basic.”

He asked Anna to cut out a steel sheet two fingers wide and about one millimeter thick, and then picked out the standard centimeter-long iron ruler made before, and took a short distance as the black line The fixed length is arranged repeatedly until the ten black lines are roughly equal to the length of a standard centimeter.

Then let the black line climb up the steel sheet, and ablate vertical marks one after another.

Under the control of the black line, the distance between each vertical mark is almost completely equal.

Roland planned to start with a ruler first, and make a batch of original samples of various measuring tools, while unifying the weights and measures.

And these standard units will also be written into specifications and manuals, which will be added to the upcoming popular education.
