【Introduction】

Cheng Yan thought he'd traveled to medieval Europe and become a glorious prince. But this world wasn't what he'd imagined. Did witches really exist, and did they actually possess magical powers?

A witch farming story, about farming to the end.

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter One: From Today on, Become a Prince. The protagonist, succumbing to overwork, travels to the Middle World and becomes the fourth prince of the Kingdom of Graycastle. He opens his eyes to discover a witch execution taking place before him. Always reckless, he immediately ends the execution and retreats to his chambers. It turns out he's come to this place to fight for the throne, and governing the city is the only criterion. Alas, he'll have to be a good prince for now.

Chapter 2, Anna the Witch (Part 1). The protagonist possesses no particularly useful information to aid his fight for the throne, while his rivals become increasingly formidable. Early in the morning, the minister's assistant urges him to kill the witch, emphasizing her terror. However, the protagonist firmly believes the church is a greater threat.

Chapter 3, Anna the Witch (Part 2). The Minister's assistant worries about the Witches' Union coming to rescue them, but the protagonist wants to go to the dungeon to see what witches are capable of. A group of people escort him to the bottom of the dungeon. The first sight of Anna the Witch is like seeing a shadow devouring flames.

Chapter 4, Fire. The protagonist asks Anna to tell him the whole story: she saved her father, whose leg was broken by a mine collapse and who was being robbed. She killed the robbers, but her father reported her as a witch. She ignites a raging fire, burns through the cage, and walks over to the protagonist.

Chapter 5: The Reason. The protagonist rescues the witch and finds another prisoner as a scapegoat, pretending to have hanged her. He explains to the minister's assistant that this is purely to win his father's favor. In reality, this is all nonsense; he simply wants to exploit the witch's power.

Chapter 6, Training (Part 1). Anna was brought out of the dungeon, washed, and changed, the delicate young woman slept until noon. Standing in the protagonist's specially constructed laboratory, she was about to begin the so-called training to control her powers.

Chapter 7, Training (Part 2). After thirty training sessions, Anna was exhausted and was pulled over by the protagonist for afternoon tea, her first meal in this other world. Afterward, he learned from the assistant minister's report that the lack of winter tax revenue was due to the influence of the Demonic Moon.

Chapter 8, Evil Moon (Part 1). The protagonist's border town lacks a stable source of income, and the regular migration of the population makes development even more difficult. When the Evil Moon descends, alienated demonic beasts leap over the beacon towers and attack human settlements, creating a dangerous but still slayable situation.

Chapter 9, Evil Moon (Part 2). The protagonist decides to stay and farm, developing his territory. To defend against demonic beasts, he plans to build a wall. The knights are naturally opposed. However, the protagonist discovers the raw materials for cement, and building the wall in three months is entirely feasible. Anna also gains a solid grasp of fire magic, and a new project can be put on the agenda.

Chapter 10, Stonemasons. Carl, a former member of the Graycastle Stonemasons Guild, fled to Border Town due to an unexpected incident and founded an academy. His student, Anna, was executed as a witch, and another student awakened a special ability, facing imminent death. The prince's job posting in the square delighted the people, and Carl decided to take a risk and meet the prince to convince him that witches are not evil.

【Brief Comment】

About the Author

Ermu, a great writer, is the author of "Release that Witch".

The first order of this book on June 1, 2016 has not been counted, but the author revealed that the average order volume is 30,000.

Currently, there are 156 million collections on Qidian, 54 collections in the bookstore, 316 million fans, and 50 alliance leaders, including 3 silver alliance leaders.

In 2016, he topped the "Twelve Heavenly Kings" with "Release that Witch". At the same time, this book also pioneered the witch farming trend, opening up a new situation for the long-depressed Western fantasy market.

During the serialization period, it has long dominated the top of the fantasy category monthly ticket list, and its status in the world is similar to that of Feng Qiyue in the martial arts category.

With the completion of this book on June 4, 2019, the fantasy category has been leaderless, and the top of the monthly ticket list has been jumping around frequently.

Later, Feng Yue took over from "Release the Witch" with "Apocalypse Forecast" and firmly sat at the top of the list.

Despite this, the fantasy category is still extremely weak among all categories.

Back then, when fantasy and the mystical world had not yet separated, there was also a lot of lavishness.

"Panlong", "Qin Di", "Bacchus", "Mysterious Journey", "Legend of Behemoth", "Ice and Fire Magic Chef"...

It's all over!
Nowadays, fantasy can still be compared with others, but forget it. After all, my "Mirror Giant" is also a fantasy.

summary of the story
I only read ten chapters because I don't like reading Western fantasy works.

This book is very famous and has achieved great success, and it pioneered the witch farming genre.

The story begins with the time travel to become the fourth prince Roland. He releases the witch and takes her in for himself, training her ability to control fire and gathering people to build a city wall. He has to rely on his own efforts to resist the coming wave of monsters.

Character characteristics
Roland, with his modern way of thinking, changes the lives of the residents of a medieval border town and turns an inconspicuous town into the roof of the world?

At present, he is still struggling to survive, and only a few clues are revealed in his emotional aspect.

Married a witch?

Style characteristics
Before reading this book, I tried reading other fantasy works, and the beginnings were basically similar to this one.

Looking back now, I don’t feel anything special.

Around 2016, farming was very popular and many categories were related to farming. The book "Golden Fishery" that I recommended before was a typical farming article.

The characteristics of this type of work are that it is stable, bland, and not exciting enough.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

After finishing this book, the great writer Ermu has been taking a break until now, and there has been no news about his new book.

unknown reason.

If he doesn't open a new book, readers may forget this once dazzling master~
This is how online literature works, so some authors will write a very long book and update it continuously.

Doing so can maintain a stable popularity. After all, frequently releasing new books will damage popularity and there is no guarantee that they will pass the market test.

But after taking such a long break, I can only say that I have earned enough money.

By the way, you may have noticed that many people have returned to Qidian recently and started many new books.

You can search for names such as Drunkard, Nanpai Sanshu, and Xu Gongzi Shengzhi.

When their books have enough words, I will find time to try reading them.

But it’s probably hard to say how exciting it is.

Their era has actually passed.

When it comes to imagination, it has to be the new generation of authors today.

Finally, many people left me messages saying that I always recommend immature new books and hope I can introduce some completed old books.

I hope today's book can meet the needs of this group.
