The Release That Witch
Chapters 42's

"What happens when a demonic beast bites a human?" Roland asked. "Will they become like demonic beasts?"

Roland hoped that it would not turn into the medieval Resident Evil . After all, with their current level of technology, they had no way to extract the virus and produce the required antigens.

"Of course not" Iron Axe gave Roland a sort of 'How can you ask such a question?' look, "They're gonna turn into corpses."

"What about their meat, can we eat it?"

Carter exclaimed loudly, "Your Majesty! How could you think about eating the flesh of demonic beasts, they were contaminated with the Breath of Hell, ah !!"

Roland looked at Iron Axe, who nodded and said, "The knight of your head is right, I have cut the flesh of some demonic beast to give to my dog. The result was that my dog died shortly after eating the meat."

"That happened? Too bad." Roland sighed, all this time, food sources were scarce. If they could eat demonic beasts, the winter months would turn into simple harvest months. Just think, the entire animal forest would go crazy and run towards Border Town, so the militia could even save hunting gear!

After he walked along the wall, he decided to visit Nana.

Roland had requested the residence of a noble who had recently left Border Town and used it as a field hospital. Of course, he claimed it to be a foreign medical school. But just in case, it was near the city wall and was one of the best-guarded places in Border Town.

When the former owner of the residence returned to Longsong Stronghold, he had brought all his treasures with him, and the other Border Town residents were always ready to give up their homes. So, the house is quite large, but it cannot have many murals, carpets, porcelain vases, or other types of decorations. If it is not clean enough, it will only look like an empty house for a long time.

Roland turned the first floor into one large room. Only the stairs to the top floor and a small hallway remained. Then, he put ten beds into that room. With this, the hospital is finished. The shape is quite simple, there are no nurses and no doctors, even the ten beds are not possible to use at all - after Nana's treatment the patients do not need to lie in bed, the treatment immediately produced results.

During the day, Nana will usually stay on the second floor of the hospital and Anna will come when she herself has no job. Sir Pine and Brian were in charge of the first floor, and two guards were placed at the entrance.

However, Roland did not expect that the first patient in the field hospital was a worker from the North Slope Mine, not a soldier from the militia defending the wall.

Nils felt his hands tremble.

When he heard the raucous scream of iron again, he tried to increase his speed once more, but even with his fastest speed he could not fly.

It was all because of his negligence, he thought. Shit, how could he forget the repeated warnings from his senior knight?

If he had known earlier, he would not have taken advantage of his opportunity to work with the big man!

Since large people were installed at the gates of the mine at night, the work of the miners became much easier.

A week ago, the chief knight ordered the senior knight and his men to transport many strangely shaped pieces made of metal to the mine, and then in the next few days they gathered them into a furnace. Nils did not at all foresee that this furnace could move by itself when burned with fire. It could not only move, but it also possessed incredible strength.

The senior knight said that it was His Majesty's invention and it seemed to be called a steam engine.

First, the basket must be tied with a rope to the steam engine, then the fire must be ignited before the big engine starts humming. Then, the hoist began to spin and the basket was quickly pulled towards the entrance of the mine.

Just incredible!

The senior knight had chosen the person in charge of the steam engine after several trials. When Nils was elected, he was very happy with himself, because he had waited a long time for a good opportunity. After all, he just had to stand in front of the machine! He no longer had to dig for rocks or minerals, and he would never need to push the basket. The final mine collapse still frightened him.

The words the senior knight said were still in his head.

He said it wasn't a difficult task. The big guy will do all the work, all he has to do is pull the green lever first and then the second red lever. The senior knight also said that the green lever is connected with the inlet valve, while the exhaust valve is connected with a red lever so that steam will pass through the pipe into the cylinder. After the basket was pulled to the entrance of the mine, he had to do the opposite if he wanted to stop the machine. First, he had to lift the red lever and then the green lever. With this the steam will be discharged from the boiler side. After each cycle, the oven needed to be water-filled - even though he didn't understand what valves and cylinders were, Nils promised to do it all gradually.

However, the senior knight emphasized the two most important points. First, the order cannot be wrong. To start the engine, the green lever is first before the red lever. To stop, the green should be closed after the red. If he made a mistake, it could result in the destruction of the machine. The second point was that while he was releasing steam, he had to constantly remind the miners to retreat until the red lever was completely lifted.

The first point that Nils etched on his head, even with his eyes closed he would make no mistake. But with the second point he has some problems.

Today, he shut off the engine as usual. He noticed that the other miners were no longer there. He felt that he would be a fool if he shouted a warning when there was no one around, so he was really engrossed in pulling the red lever. The red lever was a bit difficult to pull, and due to fatigue he had to show his teeth when pulling.

He did not expect Titus to appear in front of the stove when he pulled the lever - Nils did not see him because of the large size of the steam engine and because of the loud noise it caused, he said, he didn't even hear footsteps. The white steam released from the kettle instantly flowed into Titus' face!

Nils was stunned with fear, he only saw Titus suddenly fall to the ground and roll around, he said, clutching his face and shouting his life - Titus's cry was so heartbreaking for Nils that it instantly struck at the very core of his being.

Immediately, other miners gathered around, opening Titus' hands forcefully to look at his injuries, only to see that his face only reminded them faintly of a human face. Blood flowed from his mature and raw face and his eyes turned into white pearls. Everyone present was convinced that Titus could not be saved.

Nils soul slowly returned to his body. Titus always took care of him, because of his young age, and the job Nils assigned was less than that of anyone else, but the salary Nils earned was never less than that of the others. And now, this accident only happened because of his negligence.

Between his sadness and anxiety, Nils suddenly recalled what the senior knight had also said. If one of the miners is injured, he should be taken to a safe area near the wall. A new medical center opened there.

Although Nils knew that such a serious wound was an incurable wound and the size of the wound was too large, although herbal remedies could help a little, it could not stop Titus' health deterioration . Then, Titus would have a high fever and immediately fall into a coma. But still Nils was still holding Titus, despite the bewildered gazes he got from those closest to him, biting his teeth, and running away.

If he does nothing and Titus dies, Nils fears he will never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
