With the addition of Alger and his wife, the village’s construction went very smoothly.
Alger handed the drawing he had done to Joshua and said, “Now, the planning and the location of the house construction have been designed. Next, we need you to confirm the house’s structure. Will it be built with wood or a mixture of wood and soil?”
Hearing Alger’s words, Joshua was very surprised. This was a world of swords and magic. He did not expect the buildings to be so backward.
But on second thought, this was a wasteland that had not been developed for almost a thousand years, so it was definitely backward compared to the Empire.
Even the Empire was not that advanced. Buildings there were all built with natural stones.
So, Joshua decided to use the knowledge of his previous world to build bricks. He led the guards to search the surroundings.
When he had first joined the team, Georgi heard the rumors about the First Prince.
However, he found that the information of what people outside had told him did not match the person in front of him!
This made him puzzled. Could it be that the First Prince was the same as him? Was he chased out after being wronged by his family?
The two of them soon arrived at a small river. Joshua immediately took off his shoes and walked to the river. He used his hands to dig out the soil on the side.
After finding that the soil was of high-grade material, he washed his hands and feet and put on his shoes.
He had found the most common material he would need but he was still missing a very important thing, which was magic clay. This material was usually used to forge magic weapons and plastic films.
However, magic clay had another function: when it was added to ordinary soil and burned, it would become more solid.
This knowledge did not exist to the others, but he suddenly recalled the method of making red bricks in his previous world. After that, he suddenly had an idea and fused the two things together.
After systematic analysis, he came to the conclusion that this method was feasible.
Not only would the lifespan of the house that was built be longer, but it could also allow the magic that floated in nature to gather in the house through special magic circles.
However, the two of them searched around for a long time and did not find any place with magic clay.
With no other choice, Joshua could only bring his guards back to the village.
After lunch, Joshua went straight to the house of the omniscient old village chief.
When he saw Joshua, the old village chief nodded at him.
“Carl, I have something to ask you for help!”
When he heard that Joshua came to ask for help, the old Village Chief Carl immediately nodded.
Seeing that Carl agreed, Joshua said, “There’s a place nearby that doesn’t have magic clay. We need a lot of it! For the construction of the village this time, I’ve decided to use magic clay and ordinary clay to make bricks! After that, we’ll use these magical bricks to construct houses for all the villagers!”
Hearing this, Carl’s eyes immediately flashed with a bright light. After thinking for a few minutes, he said slowly, “Magic clay, huh? There’s some not far from the river to the east of the village. There’s a small dirt hill.
“You can start digging from there. You won’t need to dig too deep to find a lot of magic clay. This magic clay is enough for you to build countless villages.”
When Joshua came to this village, he noticed that old Village Chief Carl was extraordinary.
Despite having so many races around, no one objected to the exchange of power when Carl had announced him as the new village chief.
When they heard that the village chief had left his position, they all knelt down. From the sincere look in their eyes, Joshua could see many things.
So whenever there was something that could not be solved, Joshua would first ask the old Village Chief Carl.
It was through these few times that he found he could get answers to all the questions he asked!
He definitely felt more and more that Carl was extraordinary!
After getting this information, Joshua immediately took action.
This was a big project that required a lot of people, so he immediately took out the butler’s list of records of the surrounding races.
He sifted through them one by one, taking about half a day.
He finally picked out a few more outstanding ones from among the many demi-humans.
The craftsmen who built the village, the gnomes, and the dwarves, were all skilled in technology, so it was easy for them to build such things.
The patrol team that originally comprised of the guards was handed over to the elves and the great ghosts. One of the two races had agility and magic talent, while the other was born with a strong physical body.
This position was very suitable for them. The most important thing was that their intelligence was much higher than the average race.
As for the three outstanding races that were in charge of labor, Joshua chose the pygmies, minotaurs, and orcs.
Their intelligence was not as high as the great ghost race and the elves, but their physical strength and endurance were very strong. They were very suitable for carrying heavy objects.
If they were assigned a leader, they would be able to easily complete these simple tasks.
After confirming their positions, Joshua immediately sent his butler and guards to the territories of these demi-humans to invite them.
After assigning the tasks of his subordinates, Joshua felt that his tensed mind instantly relaxed. He was ready to find a place to rest for a while.
During this time, a huge figure flew across the sky.
Alexia, who was originally only as tall as Joshua, had already become huge in just a short while.
After landing, Joshua could only reach out his hand to reach Alexia’s legs. He couldn’t even reach her waist!
With no other choice, Alexia could only fall to the ground with her huge body. She allowed Joshua to caress her head.
Looking at the tiny Joshua, Alexia immediately looked at him with a pitiful expression and said, “Joshua, is it because I’ve grown too big that it’s very inconvenient for you?”
Looking at such a huge Alexia, Joshua was more than happy. How could he not be happy?
With Alexia’s current combat strength, she had already become a great threat to all living things around her.
Gently stroking her head, Joshua whispered into her ear, “It’s too late for me to grow as much as you have! Don’t worry! When you continue to grow, you’ll be able to transform into a human form one day. At that time, you won’t have to worry about your size!”
Hearing this, Alexia shouted happily, “Really?”
Although Joshua did not know what method he could use to help her transform into a human form, in this world with magic, everything was possible.
“Of course! I’ll help you think of a way so you just need to continue to grow up!”
After listening to Joshua’s words, Alexia immediately spread her wings and continued to search for food on the distant sea surface.
Looking at Alexia flying away, Joshua could not help but sigh. “What a relief!”
