Lord Evolution: Starting With SS-rank Skills

Chapter 90: Opaque reality [ 10 ]

Brandon and the soldiers rushed into the farm a few minutes after the magnificent windmill structure descended on the ground.

They halted immediately upon arrival, staring at the structure with mouths wide open. They didn't understand the purpose of the windmill, as this machinery was entirely new to them. However, that didn't stop them from experiencing their surprise at witnessing an object bigger than most of the houses in the village appearing out of nowhere. It was simply too shocking.

Blaze strolled toward Rowan while observing the structure calmly.

"Master, what is this?" Blaze asked curiously.

Rowan answered telepathically without looking at Blaze, explaining the structure to it.

Blaze let out a soft growl of understanding after hearing his explanation. It had already witnessed Rowan bringing out different objects out of thin air, so it wasn't really surprised by the appearance of this one.

But that wasn't the same for the soldiers.

"What is this?"

"What is that thing rotating? Is it a large wooden sword?"

"It is almost bigger than two houses combined!"

"Is it a monster? Look, it has hands!!"

"T-this..."

They were so shocked they couldn't even move from their positions, fearing that the 'monster' would suddenly attack.

Rowan observed their reactions with a smile before calling for their attention. They all looked in his direction with confusion. One of them even yelled cautiously at Rowan to move away from the 'monster' before it attacked him.

"Stop overreacting, all of you. Let me explain the use of this structure," Rowan calmed them with a wave of his hand.

"This is called a windmill. It is a magnificent structure of magical origin, which I can't really explain to you guys currently. This windmill can complete tasks a hundred times faster and with 100% efficiency!" Rowan explained.

He even told them that there would be more structures similar to this appearing around the village in the future.

Nevertheless, the more Rowan explained, the more confused and dumbfounded they became, but Rowan only shook his head and decided to show them what he meant by using the machine.

He walked towards the hill of wood close to the windmill.

"No! Don't get closer..." Even with the explanation, some of the soldiers still tried to warn Rowan against the 'monster'.

Rowan laughed inwardly as he grabbed a log of wood, thinking, "I wonder how they will react when they see cars and aircraft from Earth."

The wood had already dried up a little under the sun and wasn't as heavy as it was a few days ago. Nevertheless, it was still very heavy and would take two powerful soldiers to lift one up—but Rowan lifted it with one hand as though it was nothing.

Thanks to his first evolution, lifting such a heavy object was nothing to him.

Rowan ignored the soldiers' reactions to his strength and went closer to the windmill. He brought the log of wood close to one of the hands with a saw, which was already activated, and immediately the saw cut through the wood, creating a perfect split. Rowan didn't stop there; he used the saw to split the wood into a flat rectangular shape.

"What!!" the soldiers reacted with shock.

Rowan also ignored their reactions and used the axe section. A large log was split into eight uneven parts after just a few seconds.

After utilizing the windmill for a few minutes, the soldiers finally came to terms with it. Some of them even tested out the windmill, and they were equally amazed.

"We do not have much time to waste; let us proceed with the guardhouse!" Rowan announced.

The soldiers reacted actively and proceeded. With Rowan's supervision, they began to split some of the wood into the needed shapes and moved it towards the border.

Rowan helped this time. He bound most of the split wood with rope and carried them on his shoulder towards the border. Each trip, he carried a large amount of wood that would take ten soldiers to carry.

It only took one hour and two trips to completely move the amount of wood they needed to the border.

At this moment, more than twenty soldiers, along with Rowan, Brandon, and Blaze, could be seen standing at the border.

It was almost afternoon, and the heat of the sun hadn't started beating down harshly on the earth yet.

Rowan was holding a large paper with the architectural drawing of the guardhouse's structure, and the soldiers surrounded him, listening carefully as he explained it to them.

Thanks to the simplicity of Rowan's drawing and explanation, the soldiers listened attentively and were able to understand it easily.

"Do you understand?" Rowan asked, and they all nodded.

"Great." Rowan smiled and put the drawing back in his inventory before proceeding to mark the lines they had to dig.

After marking, he brought out shovels and axes from his inventory and distributed them among the soldiers.

The soldiers did not ask questions and began digging along the lines Rowan had made.

The area was soon filled with the sounds of axes and shovels digging up earth. Rowan joined them, and with his super strength, it only took about six hours to complete the whole digging process.

At this moment, the afternoon had already approached, and the sun was already beating down pretty harshly.

A group of women, who saw Rowan and his soldiers working, brought lunch for them, and they ate.

After they were done eating, Rowan proceeded with the next phase and began laying the foundation with the help of stones and compact earth around them.

Afterwards, they began to set up the frames of the guardhouse, which took another five or so hours, and they weren't even able to complete the process as nighttime approached.

"Alright, we stop here today and begin work tomorrow morning. With more hands, we will be able to complete the overall structure in no time," Rowan announced as he wiped the stains on his hands with wet leaves.

They left the southern border and returned to their homes to rest and prepare for tomorrow. Blaze became sleepy on their way back, and Rowan sent it back into the divine beast plain.
