Crown of Ashes: Starting with the Asylum Witch

Su Heng, a graduate student in chemical engineering, accidentally traveled through time and became Cedric Capet, the heir to the border lord of another world. This is a magical Middle Ages in which the Dominican Church controls faith, knowledge, medicine, and farming. The church exploited the people in the name of gods, stigmatized girls who awakened their magical talents as witches, and sent them to the stake. Starting from an experimental field in Cape Territory, Cedric used chemical fertilizer prototypes, hygiene knowledge and modern engineering thinking to leverage the theocratic monopoly; he also protected witches, and gradually discovered that witches were not disasters, but productivity fires that were feared and suppressed by the church. With the addition of flame, healing, metal, spiritual and other witches, Capeland established workshops, schools, hospitals, new armies and magic industrial systems. From agricultural reform to the industrial revolution, from territorial construction to the anti-ecclesiastical wars, Cedric transformed the persecuted into the founders of a new era. When the old theocracy raises the stake, he will build his kingdom on wheat fields, steel and ashes.
