Chapter 372 - 371 Prepation for a Giving of Gifts
The Thanksgiving ended with smiles and laughter throughout the night. Most of the people were drunk, the ones who were not. Decided that the next day be a rest day before the week continues with work.
The next day came, most people were still too drunk to even think about work. The ones who could were barely able to contain the wine inside of them.
Rex left his house barely before dawn. He went to see the construction on the wall. He really needed to know how much longer it would take.
Upon finding one of the wall construction managers. Rex immediately got his attention. The male stood straight like a pole. He did not know why Rex was calling him.
"How much longer until the wall is done?" Rex demanded the answer.
"If everything goes well the next month. Probably a week after and the wall will be done for the most part. There will still be spots that need extra stones placed around and replaced. Nothing that should be major." The manager replied.
"Why do stones need to be replaced for?" Rex asked.
"When we were placing. Some of them were sturdy on the outer coverings but we found that the inner core was hollow or extremely fragile. We cleaned the mortar from underneath to allow us to replace the stones while trying to keep on track on the completion." The manager replied.
"Good." "Make sure that everything is in order correctly. I have a feeling that we will need ballistic arrow mounts on the wall. That will prove to be a massive undertaking. We could find other methods as well." Rex spoke his inner thoughts out loud.
