Release that Witch Chapter 1178: Growth

And just two days after the order was issued, before the storm completely swept the human continent, Lightning and Macy returned to Neverwinter City.

When the two entered the office, Roland couldn't help it.

Macy hasn't changed much, but it's stronger than half a year ago. It doesn't look like a white dove when squatting on the partner's head, it looks like a goose.

To his surprise, Lightning.

Her hair has grown a lot, from ear to shoulder, probably because of long-term investigative tasks and little time to take care of, she looks a bit messy. The face was also dirty, and there were several patches on the flight suit, and a few ugly and unsightly cloth bags appeared on the sides of the legs, chest, and arms, as if they were sewn on themselves. Although it looks a lot more cumbersome than the original beautiful coat, it looks more like an explorer.

But the biggest change is the eyes and her expression.

It seemed as if she had been transformed from the image of memory a night before, and she was no longer the little girl of the past.

"Your Majesty, do you have any questions with me?"

Lightning asked after saluting.

Roland repressed the emotion in my heart, and explained the intelligence and the Edith speculation. "If Devil really has this plan, the consequences are unthinkable, so I hope you two can go to Eternal Winter to the north side. No one has ever set foot in the mountains to investigate. Devil cannot do without the supply of red mist. If they want to enter the mountains, they will definitely leave traces.

"Such a thing would happen ..." Lightning could not help frowning. "Fortunately, Macy found the letter. But Your Majesty, what if the enemy walks underground? My ability is limited and I am very in the air. It ’s hard to find a deliberately hidden target. "

"That's the worst situation." Judging from the results of Operation Torch, Devil's mining ability is far worse than humans with Devourer Worm. However, Devil, which stretches the perspective to the whole, occupying half of Land of the Dawn, and studying magic power in depth, is not very likely to find a Underground Civilization ruins. Since Federation can obtain the worm carrier by exploring ruins, the enemy must also have this. may. No trace of the carrier was found in the Taqila decisive battle, which does not mean that it was not in continental spine. "God Punishment Witches will take a Magic Power Core from the port of Ford, if you do not find the enemy, that is the last resort."

"So that's it, I will do my best." Lightning nodded.

"But it takes at least one month from the southern end of Greycastle to Eternal Winter northern region. During this period, you may not be able to get support and supplies in a timely manner. In addition, the residents there may still be prejudiced against witch, even if they stay in the city, they may not Safety, you have to be careful. "

"Survival in the wild is exactly the housekeeping skill of explorer, Your Majesty," she said without hesitation, "don't say a month, even a year and a half is no problem."

"gu gu!" Macy spread his wings and agreed.

"Sorry," Roland sighed, "You have just come back, and I will let you go further ..."

"Your Majesty, you speak a lot ..." Lightning is a little bit low, and the voice becomes a little muffled. "Compared to those who sacrificed to fight Devil, compared to Ash sister ... This is nothing." But just one She regained her spirit, "Since this is another new expedition, according to the convention, can you ..."

Roland paused for a moment, then reacted, "Sure." He stood up and walked out from behind his desk.

Lightning raised his hand and saw his spotted stains on his sleeve, then suddenly retracted, "Ah, no, no need ... I forgot to change my clothes first, and the smell on my body was strange. Still count "

But before she finished, Roland had stretched out both hands and hugged her.

"It's hard for you. I'll let the tailor make a few more flight jackets for you in the current style, and you can rotate them in the wild."

Lightning suddenly quieted down, it took a long time before she made a low nasal sound, "Yeah."

"me too Goo." Macy stretched his head.

"You worked hard too." Roland touched her plump neck and smooth wings back and forth.

Nightingale then came forward and hugged the two, "Be sure to pay attention to safety."

"We will."

When they left the office, Nightingale said with a bit of emotion, "Before Lightning never said that they were 'limited'."

Roland nodded sympathetically, changing to a little girl before, I'm afraid that when he finishes the Edith speculation, he will pat his chest and say everything to me.

He heard Leaf mentioned that after Ash and Ersluk were all exhausted, Lightning couldn't cry and couldn't recover for several days. But looking at her now, she could not find a trace of immersion in grief. Even when it comes to Ash, it will still be sad, but the sadness will obviously not hinder her going forward, but will become her motivation.

"She's grown up." Roland sighed softly.

...

Although the faster the migration, the better, but the distance from Greycastle to Wolf Heart and Eternal Winter needs to be calculated in months. Even if the Administration Office and First Army work hard, the population problem of Neverwinter City cannot be improved in a short time.

This not only makes it difficult to launch many long-conceived new projects, but also limits the further expansion of the existing industrial scale. In addition, the threat of Devil did not disperse with the victory of Taqila's as expected, all kinds of problems Accumulated together, causing a lot of pressure on Roland.

Fortunately, the successful imitation of ceremonial magic cube provided him with a way to propagate power. As long as there is no plan that requires his confirmation, he will stay in the Northern Slope laboratory of Anna and try to create a new generation of power with magic cube as the core source. After sending away Lightning and Macy, and "H.M.S. Roland" equipped with Magic Power Core, he devoted most of this time.

After all, the power of Magic Power steam engine will be greater than any project once it breaks through.

In addition to Anna, Celine also actively applied for joining to this landmark study. Due to the remote location of the laboratory and the layer-by-layer defense, there is no need to worry about being accidentally hit by citizen. And the assembly ability she showed in the development is really amazing. The dozens of auxiliary tentacles are not only extremely powerful, but also more flexible in coordination with each other. It is effortless to install large components such as flywheels and pistons, which greatly reduces The burden of Anna.

For a time, the scene of a man and a woman and a tentacle monster tossing around a machine has become the norm here.

Soon, the first weird-looking principle prototype appeared in the laboratory.
