Maximus figured out the only way to find the goldmine was to trace it back to the town's origin. It was believed that the first King of this town came from another world.King Roland the first.*Allen felt as if someone was calling him."Your Highness, wake up..."He turned his head away, but the sounds he had heard did not disappear, instead they became even louder. Then, he felt someone gently tug on his sleeve."Your Highness, my Royal Prince!”Smart opened his eyesimmediately. He did not see anyof the things he had grownfamiliar with-the screen wasgone, the desk was gone, andSo too, was the wall which hehad plastered with Post-its.They were replaced by astrange scene-rows of smallbrick houses, a round publicSquare that was crowded withpeople, and a door-shapedgallows that was erected in themiddle of the public square. Hewas seated on an elevatedplatform from across the square. The chair he sat on was not his usual soft swivel chair, but instead, a cold and hard iro
For a period of time Roland locked himself in his room as he carefully reviewed the memories of this new world,such that dinner had to be sent directly to him by his servants.Roland suppressed his fear of the unfamiliar environment he found himself in under his strong will to live. He was very clear that if he wanted to blend in and avoid being suspected by the people around him he needed to get more information as soon as possible.Roland had to say that the fourth prince had, apart from fooling around with some other sons of the nobility, no additional things in his brain.Over and over again, Roland was unable to remember any valuable information such as knowledge of the aristocracy,the political situation in his own country, or the diplomatic situation with his neighbours. As for basic common sense, such as city names, or the years of significant events, they were completely different than the history of Europe he knew.It seemed that based on his memories, the old Roland had had
Roland swallowed the last piece of fried egg from his breakfast, took a napkin and wiped his mouth before saying,“So you are saying that you are worried that the Witch Cooperation Association will hear the news that the witch did not die and hence will try to rescue her?”“It is as your Highness has said,” Barov stomped angrily as he exclaimed, “If the prisoner had died it would be bad enough,but now she is still alive! If those witches are even crazy enough to steal babies on the chance they might become future comrades, how far do you think they'd go for someone who has already become a minion of the devil? With how recklessly they behave,attempting a rescue wouldn't be surprizing."Roland was confused, he had always felt that there was something amiss about this situation. Why were the Assistant Minister and the Knight Commander so scared of witches?The woman who should have been hanged was a witch,right?The woman who was so thin it was as if she would fall down when the wind bl
"Can you clearly describe what happened when the mine collapsed? " Roland asked.Anna nodded and began talking.Roland was surprised because he expected her to stay silent or to angrily curse at him, but she responded to all of his questions cooperatively.It wasn't a complicated story.Anna's father was a miner and was working when the mine collapsed. Immediately after they heard about the accident,Anna and the other miners'families went to rescue their loved ones. The North Slope Mine area was rumored to be an abandoned monster lair with many forked pathways extending in all directions.Since the volunteers were all acting on their own accord, they separated at the mine entryway,and only Anna's neighbors Susan and Ansgar were by her side when she found her father.Her father's leg was crushed under a cart filled with ore,rendering him motionless, but at his side was another miner patting him down for money.When the looter saw them, he rushed at Ansgar with a pick and knocked him to
"The Second Law of Thermodynamics: Heat can never pass from a colder to a warmer body without causing other effects, or it is impossible to convert heat from a single source into work without causing other effects, or entropy always increases in an irreversible heat reaction."Roland carefully wrote this down using the language of this world. At a glance, the text resembled a moving earthworm, and he really didn't understand how the locals could learn so many complicated characters.If asked which of the physical laws was the most depressing,Roland would definitely choose the second law of thermodynamics. It states that heat will always pass from high to low temperatures, thus adding chaos to order and increasing entropy. Eventually,everything will become nothing and the universe will become morbidly silent.Somehow, this world was exempt from the issue of increasing entropy. It could produce magic power out of nothing, which was much more impressive than a perpetual motion
In the rear castle gardens stood a single cottage, surrounded by a wooden fence. The cottage was built out of clay bricks and the ground was filled with loess, a mixture of sand, silt and clay. There was also a pond in front of the cottage with a circumference of roughly nine and a half yards and with the pond filled with an appropriate amount of river water, this environment was not only difficult to burn but also had a certain manufactured feel, it seemed to be taken right out of a dream. Piled atop the ground were several iron ingots, these came from the blacksmith and were placed there by Carter.The pond was very charming,Roland had immediately taken a fancy to this place, but as for a laboratory, this place was still too crude. Roland shook his head,realizing that using some random materials and having them build a perfect lab was not possible. If he could find a suitable place in the future and collected all the resources, he would get Barov to start making him a workshop.Call
The fire rose up from under her feet but soon faded away.This was already her twenty-third attempt.And she had failed again.On Anna's forehead beads of sweat constantly arose, but she just used the back of her hand to swipe them away, and the crackling sound of rising flames immediately sounded out again.With no stops to rest, the end of an exercise was followed by the start of the next one. The witch uniform lied at the side, neatly folded, If Anna had not insisted on doing so, her new uniform would have already been burned to ashes.Fortunately, with Roland's identity as the 4th prince,getting a few spare robes for her to use was not difficult. He had his maid Tyre deliver a whole bucket of robes, gathered by the maids for Anna to use.The twenty-fourth practice had finally been effective, the flame was no longer rising from her feet. Instead, it appeared on her hand. She gingerly moved her arm, to try and have the flame go to her fingertips, but the flame suddenly shook twice a
If Roland wanted to develop his territory well, he had to build strong roots in this place. Even though this land was a wasteland it could be easily reclaimed, when the territory was too small it could be expanded outwards, but all talk was useless if the people weren't willing to stay.If they could be forced to abandon a plot of land at any time,then who would be willing to purchase it? Who would want to improve its production?After the assistant minister left,Roland called in Knight Commander Carter and ordered, “Assemble your men,go and find some of the local guards, hunters and farmers,they must have lived here for more than five years, and experienced the Months of the Demons. If there is someone who can fight it would be even better."After the knight saluted and left,Roland rubbed his forehead,continuing to look at the data compiled by the Assistant Minister.The main exports of the border town were from mining and hunting, and the bulk of the imports were food items.Everyth
