When the rainy season passed, Claude suddenly found himself extremely busy. He had to arrange the logistical supplies for the camp, mainly food and ammunition reserves, and all material application documents required him to check and sign. At the same time, he had to
Start the construction of defensive facilities and positions in the camp, urge your soldiers to dig trenches and artillery bunkers, and ask the soldiers to fill the soil into the rattan baskets woven by the villagers in Squirrel Village to build mud walls. You also have to order the soldiers to come from the mountain forest.
Cut down logs to strengthen the position...
Sergeant Major Markey was very dissatisfied with Claude's busyness. He believed that there was no need for the soldiers to waste their energy on these civil engineering constructions. Because the garrison task of the three-way intersection in Squirrel Village was likely to be taken over by the later security battalion.
Everything Claude is doing now is very likely to be making wedding dresses for others. He thinks that if Claude has this leisure, he might as well let the soldiers build the road down the mountain, which might collect a few more tolls.
.
Fortunately, Mike became his right-hand man. The cooperation and supervision between him and the big man Germi allowed the tasks assigned by Claude to the soldiers to be successfully completed. It was not until mid-April that all the affairs in the camp were completed.
On the right track, Claude asked Markchi to lead the team for several defensive drills, and asked him to be responsible for the daily training of the soldiers. Only then did he free up time to start preparing to build the cabin promised to the mage girl.
The girl mage left the camp after the rainy season. Although she fell in love with Claude and the girl mage didn't want to separate, but the camp was full of soldiers and it was always inconvenient for the girl mage to live here. So she asked Claude
De built a camping tent for her in the Witch Wood as her temporary residence. It also made it easier for her to cut down the wood she needed in the forest and use it as the main building material to build a cabin.
The style of the cabin is a reference to Claude's double-storey wooden house in Normanli Forest Farm in White Deer City. It is also double-storeyed. The only difference is that the outer walls are made of logs. Claude believes that the outer walls of logs are thicker and stronger and can be used alone.
The young mage in life brings a sense of security. In addition, there is an extra balcony in front of the door, extending out to six or seven square meters, which can just be placed with a lounge chair and a small coffee table, for the young mage to lie on it, read a book and enjoy afternoon tea.
At the end of March, when the young mage was still living in Claude's bedroom, the two began to design the cabin. Claude was the leader, and he was responsible for drawing the floor plan, architectural structure and exterior design of the cabin.
In the picture, the young mage is responsible for cheering him on. Considering that the young mage will live alone in the Witch Wood for five or six years, Claude tried his best to consider comfort and safety when designing. He did not want his beloved young mage to
Be wronged again.
After completing the design, the living area of the cabin is about seventy or eighty square meters, with an upper and lower floor structure. This is many times larger than the original shabby shack under the oak tree. The young mage is very happy and hopes that she can move in as soon as possible.
New house. Unfortunately, when April came, Claude became busy with official duties, so he had to leave the task of felling trees and collecting wood to the young mage. With the help of magic, completing this task is very simple.
When Claude arrived at the Witch's Wood, he cast an Exploring Eye again, avoiding the poisonous smoke traps set up by the girl mages densely packed in the woods, and entered the woods. Now the clearing deep in the woods has become a pile of logs.
In this place, hundreds of logs with a diameter of 40 to 50 centimeters were piled up in the open space to form seven or eight hills.
The young mage fell into Claude's arms like a swallow. The two hadn't seen each other for nearly a week. After a passionate kiss, Claude caressed the girl's hair and sighed lovingly: "You have worked hard during this time.
So many trees were cut down..."
"There are two hundred and thirty-seven logs in total. I remember it very clearly." The young mage replied proudly: "It's not hard. With the help of magic, it's an easy job. Black Wind can pull a log back...
"
Claude looked at the big black wolf circling around him and imagined when the young mage tied a rope tied to a large log about ten meters long to the big black wolf and let it drag it back.
The expression of the big black wolf must be one of confusion. It will wonder if its owner is stupid. How can it pull such a big piece of wood with its small body...
In fact, with the help of magic, the big black wolf can actually pull a big log and run back to the witch forest. Just like that time Claude accompanied the young mage to recover the cave where the books were stored and killed three big black bears that occupied the cave.
Later, when we were going back to the camp, how to bring back the carcasses of these three big black bears weighing about 1,800 kilograms became a big problem.
Claude didn't want to run in the drizzle the next day. The six or seven hours of mountain road back and forth was not that easy to walk. The young mage had a sudden idea and cast the Light Body Flying Technique that had just been engraved as a basic spell on
On the black bear's carcass, it turned out that the black bear's carcass also became light and airy, so the carcasses of the three big black bears were piled together on the back of the pack horse they had brought. Two people and one wolf led the pack horse back.
On the way back that time, the young mage had been tinkering with the Light Body Flying Technique. In less than half an hour, she had to cast a Light Body Flying Technique on each of the two people and the corpses of the big black wolf, the packhorse and the three big black bears. There were still many things on the way.
After an experiment on large rocks and trees, it was found that it can effectively reduce the weight of the object itself, whether it is a dead object or a living object. This made Claude consider building materials for building a wooden house for the young mage.
Transportation questions found answers.
It wasn't until they were approaching the mountains behind Squirrel Village that Claude unloaded the bodies of the three big black bears from the packhorse and threw them on the ground. After the magic effect was eliminated, they returned to the camp. The girl mage took the big black wolves to herself.
After going back to the room where she lived, Claude recruited a small group of soldiers, took three pack horses and ran to the back mountain of Squirrel Village again, and returned the bodies of the three big black bears to the camp.
That time, almost all the villagers in Squirrel Village and the soldiers in the camp came out to watch the fun. They hunted three big black bears at one time, and each one was killed with one shot. This was simply a heroic feat, which greatly increased Claude's prestige among the soldiers.
Claude did not slaughter the three big black bears himself this time. Instead, he gave Markchi the responsibility and ordered him to peel off the skins of the two big black bears that had bullets in their hearts and prepare them. He planned to give one to
His immediate superior, Major Leedfunk, the commander of the 1st Ranger Battalion, thanked him for taking care of him.
Next, Claude and the young mage went to the Witch Wood twice more. One time was to determine the location for the construction of the cabin, and the second time was when Claude taught the young mage how to cut down trees and find suitable wood in the forest.
The second time was also the day when the young mage left the camp and returned to the Witch Forest to set up a tent to live in. The rainy season had passed and the weather had cleared. The young mage felt a little embarrassed to stay in Claude's room without going out. At the same time, she also wanted to
Go to the back mountain cave library to continue the study plan arranged by her mother...
It's really easy to cut down trees with magic. Only now did Claude realize how much these two rune spells, Magic Hand and Precision Control, have helped him in life. A large tree with a height of more than ten meters and a diameter of forty to fifty centimeters.
The tree can be cut down to the ground in less than ten minutes in front of the saw transformed by the magic hand. Then the magic hand transforms into a sharp axe, quickly cutting off the branches. The young mage gives this smooth log another
With the Light Body Flying Technique, you can easily drag the big log back to the Witch Wood with one hand.
During this process, Claude only needs to remain still, without even sweating. As long as he can provide his own magic power to maintain the two spells, he can easily watch a big tree turn into a big log that meets his requirements.
So before he returned to the camp, he handed over the task of felling trees to find building wood to the young mage. Unexpectedly, the young mage cut down so much wood in one week.
"It's too much. We probably won't be able to use so much wood to build a cabin. Maybe we can expand the cabin a little more, and then I can use the remaining logs to build a fence for you and give the cabin an extra yard.
"In the future, even if wild beasts can enter the witch forest, it will be difficult for them to get close to your cabin." Claude held the young mage in his arms and walked towards the camping tent. He had to borrow it from the cave library left by her mother first.
The few books that came were returned to the young mage.
Half of the books collected by Sheila's mother in the cave library were about magic discussions, magic mysteries, alchemy experiment records and historical legends from the ancient magic civilization era. This made Claude very happy. Because these books were ordinary
He couldn't find it in the bookstore at all, which made up for his lack of knowledge about the history of the ancient magical civilization and allowed him to understand some of the real situations of magicians in that period.
The young mage said that these books were copied by his mother and kept in this library. Claude counted and found that on the large bookshelf with seven shelves on the left, there were nearly two hundred and eighty books about the era of magical civilization.
It can be imagined that the mother of the young mage put in a lot of hard work to copy these books.
The books on the bookshelf on the right were purchased by the young mage's mother when she went out. Most of them are some geographical discoveries, navigation research and pharmacy knowledge, as well as books on biological and medicinal material identification. The two grids below are some folklore and
Popular novels, several fairy tales and other children's books.
Claude even saw a complete set of elementary and junior high school textbooks issued by the Kingdom of Ovelas and the Kingdom of Nasseri. Now Claude understood the lessons that the young mage's mother left for her daughter when she left.
What is it? It’s just that the young mage was just having fun at the time and didn’t go to the cave library to study for nearly half a year. When she remembered to study, she discovered that the cave was occupied by a big black bear. So now that the cave was recovered, the young mage decided to continue to follow the instructions.
My mother made plans to study.
Well, the young mage admitted with embarrassment that she had only learned the textbooks for the first grade of junior high school. Next, she planned to complete the two sets of junior high school textbooks from the Kingdom of Ovilas and the Kingdom of Nasseri by herself. Her mother gave
The study plan she arranged was mainly in the liberal arts, grammar, arithmetic, geography, nature and theology. As for history, there is no need. The history of the two kingdoms is mostly the same, nothing more than bragging...
Last time, Claude borrowed several large historical books about the magical civilization period. These books were all written in the ancient Hertz language, so it didn't matter if he brought them back to the camp to read. No soldier would recognize these ancient books.
Hertzian language and characters. Although it is said that the Hebraic language and characters popular in the eastern part of the mainland evolved from the ancient Hertzian language, without a dictionary for comparison, most people would read the ancient Hertzian language and characters as if they were reading a book from heaven.
"I will go back tomorrow night, and I will stay here tonight." Claude told the young mage a piece of news that made her happy and frightened: "This way I can start working early tomorrow morning to process the wood into what it needs.
, after it dries, it will be faster to build a house next time.”
Although the two of them have kissed and hugged each other for a long time, and even Claude has touched his hand, the young mage still maintains the last line of defense of her body to prevent Claude from breaking through. Seeing the shy and nervous look of the young mage,
, Claude laughed.
"Don't worry, I will make a bed on the floor at night and I won't do anything to you." Claude pointed to the single camp bed in the camping tent: "This bed is too small and cannot withstand our tossing. Besides, if I
If I want you, I won’t be able to get up tomorrow morning and I won’t have the energy to work..."
True to his word, Claude didn't do anything to the young mage at night. Even if the young mage slept with him on the floor and nestled in his arms at night, he didn't have any bad intentions towards the young mage. Claude didn't want to
He wanted to take the body of the young mage in such a crude environment because he thought it was disrespectful to the young mage, and she was not ready yet...
The two of them got up early the next morning. After having a simple meal, Claude began the work of building a cabin, with the young mage as his assistant.
Logs of eleven to twelve meters long were inserted into the marked ground under the control of the mage's hands, and then driven deeply into the ground, leaving only a height of about eight meters. The young mage used the transformation of mud
The stone-making spell turns the soil where the logs are inserted into rocks, so that the foundation of the cabin is very solid.
What Claude has to do today is to first build the overall frame of the cabin with logs. Sixteen main supporting logs are erected on the ground, and then the beams are inserted into the logs using a mortise and tenon structure. The magic hand is precisely controlling the changes of the spell.
It can be used as chisels, saws, hammers and other carpentry tools. As long as the position is measured, tenons and grooves can be easily made on the logs, and then the beams and columns can be connected together.
This is why Claude insisted that he and the young mage build the cabin alone. With the help of magic, he could outdo a dozen experienced construction workers alone. Besides, he was not an amateur at carpentry or construction.
At worst, you just need to try the magic a few more times.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Claude completed his work plan for the day. Next time he comes over, he can do the exterior walls, floors, and siding of the inner rooms. While cooking dinner, he assigned new homework to the young mage.
During the next three days, the young mage needs to divide some logs into floor and wall panels. When he comes back in three days, he can directly carry out some fine processing.
After dinner and lingering with the young mage for a while, Claude kissed the reluctant young mage goodbye and set off on his way home.
