The After Maximum In All Class
CHAPTER 23
Mason's coming soon. The town isn't big, so it only takes a few minutes for a middle-aged woman to find Mason. Just like the blacksmith earlier, he was also a simple and honest middle-aged man. As soon as he saw Robb, he immediately looked on respectfully, “My father. I heard you were looking for a Mason. I'm happy to help you.”
Robb did not beat around the bush and said directly, “I want you to cut the roof of the chapel and build a water shelter on it.”
“Hah?” The Mason was surprised, “Dad, this cannot be done. Building a reservoir on the roof is too heavy. The chapel will easily collapse and easily leak like rain.”
Robb thought about it carefully. He's correct. The building standards here still do not reach the standard of water storage buildings on the roofs of houses and chapels.
“Let me tell you. Build a small stone tower in an open field next to the chapel, which is located next to the well, then build a reservoir above the tower,” Robb said.
“I can do this.” The Mason quickly saluted: “But it requires more power, and many stones need to be moved. I don't have enough strength alone.”
Labor is troublesome enough for the layman to get it, but for the rich, it is simple. Robb suddenly thought, “I used to take on tasks in the game and was ordered by NPCs. Now it's my turn to take command.”

Okay, time to let go of the development mission.
He took out two gold coins, smiled, and said, “Alright, now I will give you a mission, which is to help me build a small stone tower as high as a roof, and build a large reservoir on it. These two gold coins were his reward. Think of ways to hire people. I don't need to care.”
Mason was very happy. The labor in this ruined city was valued at two gold coins. He could invite many people to march and carry stones with less than a dozen silver coins. After deducting the cost of materials, he would earn at least one gold coin after completing this mission.
He said happily, “My father, just leave it to me.”
The Mason uses all the words of praise he knows to praise Robb and leaves happily.
Three days later!
Next to the well was a wide and thick stone tower. Since the spire would be built with a reservoir, the stone tower could not be built very small and had to be built with large arms and waist. The bottom is sturdy with stone, and the middle is not at all perforated like a regular “Tower”. It was filled with stones. This is not a stone tower but a stone mountain.
The stone mountain was built by twenty townspeople, who continued to carry the stone from the rocky slopes on the hillside, built under Mason's command for three days, and the gaps between the stones were glued together with a strange kind of mud. Each of them had only paid three silver coins, and in this way, they had already
feeling pleased.
The Masons attach layer upon layer of waterproof material at the very top of the reservoir. To be honest, Robb doesn't understand how people prevented water leaks in this era. He couldn't understand this strange matter, but it didn't matter. In the end, it's good to keep water.
“Dad!” The Mason politely said to Robb, “Now it's ready; once it's dry, you can keep the water in it. If it rains before it dries, I will come here soon and cover it with a tarp.”
Robb said, “Good, these two gold coins are yours.”

Thanking the gods again? Well, if you're not kind, I'm not right.
Robb put on an incredible look: “Oh, my son, the God of Light will remember your devotion to the chapel.”
This is called treating him in his own way. Since you are so grateful to the God of Light, I'll let the God of Light remember your dedication. As for me, of course, I won't remember it. I want to be a heartless feudal lord. Hum!
After collecting the money, the Mason looked curiously at the towering stone tower near the well, “Dad, what are you doing? Even though I made this for you, I don't think it's practical. Why the reservoir? built so high? How can water storage be used like this? Do you have to make a ladder to climb it every time you have to use water?”
Robb smiled and said, “Alright, don't worry just yet! The answer will appear soon.”
At that moment, the blacksmith came and carried many iron pipes of different lengths and several taps.
As soon as he saw Robb, he saluted respectfully, greeting the God of Light first, then his father, “My father, I finished the iron pipe and faucet as you requested, and after I got the technique you taught me, I immediately made the iron pipe, but the faucet was so difficult that it took a lot of time.”
“No problem. Understandably, this will take time.” Robb smiled and said to the mason, “Help the blacksmith and place these pipes in the innermost part of the reservoir.”
The blacksmith had no idea what he was doing yet, but as soon as he saw the pipes, he looked towards the reservoir built far above and suddenly understood it. After all, he was a professional who often dealt with muddy water, and the reason why the water flowed down was more obvious to him than to anyone else.
“Hey, hey, hey?” The Mason shouted, “It looks like I understand something. Is this how the reservoir is used? Yes Gods!”
The Mason felt as if he had learned something.
However, he immediately sat on the ground and growled, “No! Although it seems easier to get water, if it does not rain, there will be no water in the reservoir, and eventually there is no point. Even if the next rainstorm fills it, it will run out for a few days without rain. Although the idea to add iron pipes to this high reservoir is good, it is actually not very practical.”

Robb pats Mason on the shoulder and says with a smile, “Archimedes, did you know?”
“I know!” The Mason suddenly nodded and said, “Archimedes, the most famous ancient demon specialist, is known by everyone on this continent.”
Robb says, “Great demon specialist? Ahem!”
Well, it looks like Archimedes is in this world, but he's no longer an ordinary mathematician but a devil specialist; forget it, that's not the point! First of all, Robb said, “Archimedes has long since solved the pumping problem. His name is Archimedes Water Screw.”
