Chapter 251
The houses in this world were simpler and unrefined .
If there were people who are familiar with European history or tried other historical games, they would find that their houses were relatively simple and unrefined . Some of the wood used to build these houses did not even have their barks cut clean . It was not as refined as the Central Plains at the same time . But it was also good . That way, building a house would be faster . Craftsmen could build houses quickly as long as they had enough hands . In the future, Soran would make red bricks, and these temporary wooden houses would be retired .
Although cement might have seemed important, it wasn’t . As early as thousands of years ago on Earth, there was a construction method of “digging and filling a trench then burning the earth and supporting the mud walls with wooden bones” . Even if there was no cement, clay, gypsum, limestone, etc . could be used as a mixing agent . However, those houses that were finally done would not be as solid as the reinforced concrete, nor as high . Most of the houses in the world were only single-floor bungalows . If you planned to build a second story with attics, you could mix wood with bricks .
Soran’s plan had taken into account many different things .
A day passed quickly .
Soran sent half of his men out, mainly to continue transporting resources . Although six ships of resources were enough for their food and clothing for more than three months, they were not enough to build a town . Before the infrastructure here could be self-sufficient, all the things required would have to rely on the Port Tylon as a transit station . Most of the other pirates thought that Soran was going to build a base in the Overseas Islands, and they would never have thought that he planned to go even bigger than what everyone had thought .
Pirate kings all had overseas lairs, such as the Devil Island for the Swamp King, such as the Wrathscale Island for Ashrod .
Most people thought that Soran was going to build his lair in the Overseas Islands, and have a large number of pirates to take control of the sea route . Then rely on the route to make money .
The second day morning .
After Soran finished segregating the simple encampment, he joined the labor process as well .
Although he knew there was still a lot to explore here, he was patient and focused on the construction of the camp . As long as the camp was completed, this area would be his territory . Even if there was an attack, he could still defend it . He could slowly explore the surrounding areas in the future . But if the camp was not set up, in case of an attack by the indigenous people, then things would be quite troublesome . Even if the pirates did not have a lot of casualties, but most of the slaves would have died .
Resources, population, land .
Soran stood up quietly and then looked inside the tent where Vivian tilted her little head while flipping the pages of a book . She used her little white hand to hold the quill pen to paint on the white paper . He could not help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth . Vivian was talented in the Sorcerer profession . Sorcerers did not need to learn too much, and casting was dependent on their talent . But Vivian also took a sub-profession as a Wizard . Now, she was learning the magic by herself and master the way Wizards cast their spell .
He took a look and left .
The little girl was more obedient and seemed to have known that he had some important planning to do . At most times, she quietly did her own things .
Soran quickly brought over a bunch of people and headed towards the forest .
A lot of trees were cut down yesterday, but they were only used to build tents in a simple arrangement . Today, more wood was needed . It was better to finish up a part of the fence outside .
Because of this, Soran had to do it personally!
— “Bull’s Strength!”
Soran looked at the forest in front of him . He first added a strength spell to himself, and then went to a trunk that was as thick as a thigh . He took a deep breath . With the sound of “clang”, the legendary Curved Sword appeared a cold light . Then he chopped the big tree in front of him . With the sound of creaking, a big tree fell . Soran did not even look at it again . The subordinates at the back went forward with swords and axes . In a flash, they had cut off all the branches on it .
Very quickly!
A simple log appeared in place, behind came two big pirates . One on each side, carrying it away .
At this time .
Soran had already cut down three big trees in front of him . Twenty or thirty pirates were scattered noisily . They took their swords and axes and chopped them at random . They piled the cut branches on the other side to make a fire . Then they sent the three logs back . Houses were being built in the camp and fences were being built outside . This amount of wood was not enough .
Soran was chopping them down fast!
He was cutting down the trees at a rate of three trees in a minute . He took a rest of ten seconds after chopping down one tree with a sword, and then he cut down another tree . Now there were at least 60 or 70 people behind . Even though there were so many people behind to deal with the felled trees, there were still more than 20 to deal with . The pirates outside were responsible for carrying the wood back . They all looked sweaty and tired .
Soran’s breathing was still very stable, Extraordinary Constitution was undoubtedly evident in this case!
He cut down fifty trees in a row, then stopped . He took a little breath to relax his arm and moved it around, which was numb due to continuous exertion . All the pirate subordinates behind were busy . They hurriedly tried to get the other felled wood ready, and send it back to the camp to build a fence . Soran stopped not because his body could not bear it, but because the duration of ‘Bull’s Strength’ was up . This kind of work needed strength enhancements . Without magic, the efficiency of chopping would be greatly reduced .
But Soran memorized a lot of spells in advance .
He had not only memorized “Bull’s Strength” for all the level two spell slots but also memorized the [Empower Spells] version of “Bull’s Strength” for the level three spell slots .
A normal version of ‘Bull’s Strength’ was just used .
If it was the empowered spell version of level three ‘Bull’s Strength’, after casting, the effect and duration on Soran could be increased by about 50% .
This was the value of empowered spells .
The efficiency when Soran personally made took action was amazing . In just an hour or two, he had already cut down hundreds of trees, and then a large group of pirate subordinates were busy processing and transporting the wood back . Now, part of the whole camp’s fence has already been completed . The slaves were driving logs into the ground under the command of the pirate leaders . It was estimated that a solid wooden fence could be completed in a day or two .
This was just the beginning!
What Soran wanted to set up here was not simply just a fence .
