Chapter 310 Reconstruction Begins
Inside the northern wall, Roland did not take the spellcasters to tour the entire northern wall, but only showed a small section of it.
After just a short segment of the demonstration, all the spellcasters following Roland, except Hela, frowned.
Looking at the densely packed runes, each of these spellcasters felt their scalps tingling.
Except for the spellcaster who ran over from the Sinar Tower of Truth to join Roland, the other spellcasters have basically only been exposed to runes for a few years.
Even though they were quickly promoted by Roland and could make some rune arrays by themselves, they had no experience in such a large-scale rune array.
However, although they were all a little nervous, Roland had already explained to them the difficulty and importance of their mission when he recruited them.
Therefore, although the prepared spellcasters were nervous, no one chose to quit.
"very good."
Looking at the spellcasters who showed no signs of retreating, Roland nodded with satisfaction and said.
Then, he walked to the wall, took out the rune diagram of the first phase of the project, and based on his memory, directly took out the rune diagram corresponding to this section. Based on the content of the rune diagram, Roland began to operate.
"Watch carefully."
Roland said as he operated.
"Remember this. Do not move the red runes in the rune diagram and keep them in their original positions. Delete all the green runes. Pay attention when deleting them. Be careful not to delete the wrong ones."
"The blue runes need to be adjusted. The instructions for adjusting the positions are written on the rune diagram. Just adjust them according to the rune diagram."
As he spoke, Roland spread out the rune diagram in his hand for everyone to see, and then he injected magic power into it, gently crushing the runes corresponding to the green runes on the rune diagram with magic power.
Roland quickly cleared up a large number of runes corresponding to the green runes. Then, he began to adjust the runes corresponding to the blue runes, carefully moving them to their positions on the rune map.
In order to make it clear to other spellcasters, Roland spent a minute to complete all the adjustments.
After completing the adjustments in this small area, Roland withdrew his magic power, turned to look at everyone, and said.
"Have you seen everything clearly? If anyone is unclear, raise your hand."
After hearing Roland's words, none of the spellcasters present raised their hands.
As spellcasters, due to the influence of meditation, their brains work faster, so they can naturally understand such simple things.
Seeing that no one raised their hand, Roland nodded, not surprised.
Roland had already fed the food to them. If they couldn't even do something so simple, then there was nothing Roland could do.
"Since there are no questions, go back and pack up and get ready. We'll officially start work in an hour."
Roland put away the rune diagram in his hand and spoke to the spellcasters.
"Go away."
After hearing Roland's words, everyone quickly returned to the camp set up by the Wood Apostle and the Necromancer, and took the time to rest.
What Roland just demonstrated was the work content of the spellcasters. According to the rune diagram Roland gave them, they kept the red runes, adjusted the blue runes, and deleted the green runes.
As long as you know how to read rune diagrams, there is basically no chance of problems with this job.
Of course, although this work looks simple, it is not easy to do. First of all, deleting and adjusting runes is not something that every extraordinary person can do easily.
If one has not learned runeology, even a mid- to high-level spellcaster may not be able to do this job.
Even if they have learned runes, only low-level spellcasters can do this job. The soul strength of low-level knights is not enough to perform such delicate operations, but mid-level knights can do it.
However, asking a mid-level knight to do these tasks is an overreaction, and a mid-level knight may not be as useful as a low-level spellcaster.
Of course, low-level spellcasters can undertake this task. Moreover, Roland also provided the rune diagrams needed for the adjustment of the first phase of the entire northern wall project. They don't need to use their brains at all, just follow the rune diagrams.
However, deleting and adjusting runes are challenges to the caster's energy and consume a lot of energy. In addition, the northern wall is so large that it will take a very long time.
In addition, not all of these spellcasters can be fully engaged in these tasks. Roland is responsible for the construction of the main framework, which also requires a number of spellcasters to help him draw runes and build the framework.
Even if Roland pulled almost all the low-level spellcasters from the entire war committee together, the cleaning work of the low-level spellcasters would not be caught up with the speed of Roland's construction of the main body, and it would take at least four or five months to complete the first project.
After the spellcasters went back to rest, Roland was not idle either. He took out the general rune map he had modified and prepared to take advantage of the one-hour time to quickly circle the northern wall to confirm if there were any other problems.
When Roland took out the general rune map, he turned to look at the only person beside him who had not gone back to rest, and spoke.
“Hela, you should go back and rest too. I’ll go check it out by myself.”
Hela pursed her lips and spoke in a low voice.
"I am not tired."
"You can take a rest even if you are not tired. The next few months will be very tiring."
Roland smiled and said.
"I know what you mean, but if you have the energy, why don't you stay and cast a few more runes for me later?"
"understood."
Hela nodded, said nothing more, and walked obediently towards the camp.
After Hela left, Roland also looked up into the depths of the passage. He held the general rune map and began to perceive, his figure flashing quickly in the passage.
Roland only had one hour, so he couldn't just walk slowly. He had to use magic to speed up.
In the camp built by the Wooden Apostles, Hela took the bread and the liquid of wisdom prepared for the spellcasters, sat on a stone in the camp, ate and drank while looking up at the sky.
"Gah?"
The figure of the gray crow emerged from Hela's shoulder. It tilted its head, looked at Hela, and let out a cry.
Hearing the call of the gray crow, Hela glanced at it, took a sip of the cold liquid of wisdom, and said.
"I am fine."
"Gah??"
"I'm not in a bad mood."
"Gah?"
"Stop asking."
"Gah?"
"Ask more?"
"Gah?"
After hearing what Gray Crow said, Hela calmly put down the pancake and liquid of wisdom in her hand, and grabbed Gray Crow who was trying to escape with an expressionless face.
Under the contract, Gray Crow couldn't run away even if he wanted to, and was grabbed by the back of Fate's head by Hela's right hand.
Hela smiled and said.
"You're the one who's been abandoned!"
"Gray Crow, you seem to have too many feathers on your body."
As she spoke, Hela grabbed a feather of the gray crow and said with a smile.
"Gah!!!"
Gray Crow struggled in Hela's hands.
"Speak human language. You have already learned how to speak, but you still make noises every day."
Hela rubbed its head and said.
"Gah."
The gray crow cackles, tilts its head and starts pretending to be dead.
"I'm not going to eat you, why are you so nervous?"
Hela smiled helplessly and put it on the open space beside. As a creature born from Hela's magic and blood, the Gray Crow was obviously influenced by Hela and was a female death bird with a feminine nature. Moreover, due to Hela's outstanding dark element talent, the Gray Crow's talent was also a little stronger than that of ordinary death birds.
Otherwise, it would not be able to transform into a true undead when it was promoted to the fourth ring.
Under this special relationship, Hela and Gray Crow actually have a very good relationship.
"Thank you."
After Hela let go, the gray crow, who heard her words, also secretly opened his eyes and glanced at Hela.
Seeing that Hela was in a better mood, it blinked and sneaked away with a guilty conscience.
An hour passed in a flash.
When Roland space teleported back to the camp, all the spellcasters were ready.
According to the teams assigned in advance, the spellcasters were divided into groups of five, with each group responsible for a part of the area.
"Relax, don't be so nervous. If something goes wrong or something goes wrong, don't panic. Tell me and I'll take care of it. Okay, everyone, let's get started."
Roland stood in front of the spellcasters and gave them a final word of instruction.
After saying this, he waved his right hand, and each working group went to the areas they were responsible for and started working.
The spellcasters in each group took the rune charts they were issued and started from the beginning of the camp, moving towards the left side of the northern wall, to carry out the work of clearing out the redundant runes.
While they were cleaning up the chaotic runes on the northern wall, Roland, along with Hela and some spellcasters, began to prepare to build the main framework.
Ordinary runes can be carved with magic power alone, but if you want to carve permanent runes on the northern wall, you need to use some special props.
Roland took the spellcasters with him and taught them step by step the proportions and methods of making special props.
On the side, Hela brought some other spellcasters to explain to them the structure and content of the main framework rune diagram and told them what work they needed to do.
After more than half an hour, Roland and Hela's spellcasters who were responsible for building the main framework were ready.
A dozen necromancers commanded the undead and began to boil special liquids continuously.
Roland and Hela each carried a small box of special liquid, while the remaining spellcasters each carried a large bucket.
Under Roland's leadership, the group began to build the main frame from the left.
Since the number of spellcasters responsible for clearing the redundant runes was several times that of Roland and his group, a large area on the left side of the northern wall had been cleared in half an hour.
Looking at the cleared area, Roland used magic to control the special liquid in the small box. Under his control, the special liquid was refined into countless tiny drops and sprinkled on the city wall.
At the same time, Roland continued to construct spell runes and cast them one by one onto the area where the special liquid was scattered.
At the same time, Hela, like Roland, was spraying special liquid and casting spell runes one by one to the designated area.
Of course, Roland was personally responsible for the core runes of the main framework, and Hela was only responsible for assistance, responsible for the minor details other than the core runes, and checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.
At the same time, spellcasters carrying buckets of special liquid took out special mechanical brushes, dipped the brushes in the special liquid, and then applied it again to the areas where Roland and Hela had applied the liquid.
In order to save magic power, Roland and Hela used very small amounts of special liquid, which was only used to mark the location. Moreover, the spell runes did not mobilize too much magic power and were basically just empty shells.
Therefore, other spellcasters are needed to inject magic power into the empty shell of the spell rune to stabilize the existence of the spell rune and apply more special liquid to permanently fix the spell rune.
Simply put, Roland and Hela were responsible for designing and drilling holes, while the other spellcasters were responsible for screwing the holes.
Generally speaking, except for Roland and Hela, the work of other spellcasters is indeed similar to that of workers on an assembly line screwing screws. It is not difficult, but the quantity is too large, and it is easy to get tired after working for a long time.
However, the reason why it was so easy was mainly because Roland had a good brain.
After his soul was sublimated, Roland felt that he had evolved into a person with an upgraded brain, and his brain worked many times faster.
Therefore, relying on his upgraded brain, Roland was able to transform into a humanoid computer and forcibly split and simplify the difficult task of rebuilding the northern wall into today's simple assembly line work.
Of course, Roland didn't like to do this. If he had one or two hundred spellcasters proficient in runes, Roland wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to split and simplify the current appearance.
All he had to do was talk about the overall rune map with these spellcasters who were proficient in runes, and then let them lead their teams to start work. There was no need for Roland to go to great lengths to split and simplify it.
Moreover, it will be faster, more stable and safer than Roland's painstaking splitting and simplification.
Unfortunately, according to Roland's standards, Hela can barely be considered as one of the people who is relatively proficient in runes, and the rest are basically just beginners.
Therefore, I can only bear with myself. After all, the study of runes can only be learned slowly, and there is no quick and easy way to achieve success.
Even if we forcefully inject rune knowledge into them, we can only train a large number of rune novices. If we want them to become proficient in runes, they will need time to absorb and practice.
What Roland lacks most now is time, so he can only use it this way for now.
In addition, in addition to being responsible for the main framework, Roland also maximized his perception at all times and watched the work of all spellcasters.
If they made any mistakes, Roland would need to remind them immediately and fix the mistakes they made immediately to avoid causing greater damage.
After teleporting to a spellcaster and reminding him that he had accidentally deleted the blue rune, Roland comforted him and cast a spell rune to fill the deleted blue rune. Then he teleported back to the area where the main framework was built.
As he continued to build the main frame, he felt a little emotional.
Oh, the pressure is so great.
Roland drank a sip of the liquid of wisdom to relieve his tiredness, then used mental magic to delete all the negative emotions in his heart.
He shook his head and devoted himself fully to the work at hand.
Thousands of spellcasters were busy from the afternoon to the evening and until midnight. After the frequency of errors made by the spellcasters continued to increase, Roland stopped them and asked them to return to the camp to rest, adjust their condition, and continue working tomorrow.
After Roland called a halt, the spellcasters who were responsible for clearing out the redundant runes all breathed a sigh of relief, left the passage with tired looks, and returned to the camp to rest.
As they left, Roland looked at the spellcasters who were helping him build the main frame and spoke.
"You too, let's stop here for today and go back to rest."
The tired spellcasters nodded, closed the barrels containing special liquids, and left the passage in an orderly manner.
After the spellcasters left, Roland looked at Hela beside him and spoke softly.
"You should also go back and rest."
Hela shook her head.
Seeing her shaking her head to refuse, Roland smiled and said nothing. He picked up the two nearest barrels containing special liquids and handed one to Hela.
"If you can still hold on, then go ahead."
"Ah."
Hela nodded and took the bucket Roland handed over.
As a fourth-ring spellcaster, she naturally wouldn't get tired as easily as lower-level spellcasters.
"Well, then, first apply and fix these remaining ones."
Roland opened the bucket and began to apply the magic runes to the places where he had already entered but not yet fixed them. Hela also opened the bucket and followed Roland to continue working.
After spending another half an hour applying and fixing the remaining spell runes, Roland and Hela put down the barrel and returned to the camp to rest.
After working hard all afternoon, the first phase of the northern wall was barely one percent complete.
After Roland and Hela returned to the camp, the spellcasters in the camp had already eaten dinner and rested. The entire camp was silent, with only the sound of the patrolling undead walking back and forth.
Roland and Hela did not disturb the people in the camp and returned to their tent quietly.
Roland and Hela sat at a simple table, eating pancakes in silence.
After all, the War Council is still fighting, and the logistics lines have not been opened up. It is still rather troublesome to transport supplies to the northern wall, so we can only make do with what we have for now.
Roland didn't think it mattered, after all, this was how he usually solved the problem. However, the work of rebuilding the northern wall would be very intensive, so he should treat the spellcasters as well as possible.
A good food supply can improve the mood of spellcasters, thereby increasing their recovery speed and work efficiency.
Once the logistics line is opened up, Roland will prepare to transfer a batch of food from the committee so that the spellcasters can eat a little better.
