Release that Witch Chapter 370: Rhythm

Three days later, Roland got a positive response from the eldest son of Honeysuckle.

"I am willing to continue working for you, so will Honeysuckle Family." He bowed, "I will convince my father that he is not like everyone else ..."

"Really," Roland suddenly felt happy, "It's the best."

"for several days, I have witnessed an amazing change in your territory ... probably, this is the city I expect," Petrov said bluntly, "If Honeysuckle can also become so prosperous, my father would not Mind that the family and the new city are one. "

This sentence touched the prince a bit. The purpose of calling the other party was originally due to two points: one, it was more sincere to explain such a major event in person, and the other was to observe his attitude towards the order. I didn't expect to have this effect. He nodded, "Of course, as long as time passes, every land of Greycastle's can become a comfortable place for the people to live."

"Then I will return to stronghold as soon as possible and tell my father about this news."

"There are other Four Great Families, and Western Region and noble all," Roland added. "Any family willing to accept this condition will accept them regardless of their previous suspicion. You can hold a banquet in stronghold castle to spread my words. Come. "

"Do you mean, let me announce them?" Petrov startled.

"Yes," the prince laughed, "this time ... you will be my ambassador."

"As you bid, Your Highness," the eldest son of Honeysuckle saluted his chest.

As he was about to leave, Roland stopped him, "Yes, you have done a good job with witch, and now you don't need to cover it up anymore. Popular education is now, and still has Church Those who are expecting and obsessed can clear all Western Region. How to do it is up to you.

"Yes."

After Petrov Hull retired, Roland stretched a lazy waist, and continued to look at the overview of the various projects calculated by City Hall.

Affected by heavy snow, Kingdom Highway Work has been stopped for a long time, and the construction of residential buildings has also slowed down. Basically, only some decoration work is done indoors. Fortunately Lotus A large number of earthen caves built before leaving basically met the needs of subsequent refugees. Even if the number of refugees continues to increase, you only need to put more people in each cave. -- This is exactly the advantage of Huotongtongpu.

According to Ministry of Construction, at least more than 60% of the workers are currently in the have nothing to do state, which has made some temporary recruitments released by City Hall popular, such as clearing snow from the streets, blast furnace operation and so on. If in other cities, there are so many people enthusiastic about work at Months of Demons. It is an incredible phenomenon. You must know that winter is the most difficult day for civilians. Most people stay at home and rely on the food saved in autumn to live. However, in the eyes of Roland, I always feel uncomfortable when seeing so many labors idle, thinking about what should be done, and using them all.

After all, Margery Commerce dragged away the last batch of steam engine this year. City Hall has a lot of money and food in hand. He has a lot of plans to implement.

Thinking of it, Roland made personal guard call Minister of Construction Karl van Bate.

After explaining your ideas, Karl couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Do you want Stonemason and Mud craftsmen to build a ship for you?"

He nodded and said solemnly, "Yes, the place is located at dock nearby. The temporary factory building is set up with wood, and the brazier is lit indoors to ensure the temperature. After construction, it can be pushed directly into the water."

"But how could they, Your Highness, know how to make this kind of thing?"

"Of course it will, just like building the witch building," Roland pulled out a piece of paper and drew a drawing. "Supporting formwork, laying steel bars, pouring concrete ... I will guide you on how to build the first ship, and go to the back. It ’s up to you to supervise the ships, so you can use all the workers. ”

Karl looked puzzled at the sketch, "Is this ... a basin?"

He couldn't help but raise his lips, "Yes, a huge cement basin."

Since H.M.S. Little Town did not participate in the construction of Karl, it is not surprising to have such an idea. In fact, during the long course of development, ships have undergone several changes in form, and there is not much inheritance before and after. Let Roland design a classical wooden boat with a keel, he naturally knows nothing, but building a cement boat is essentially no different from pinching a model with mud, as long as it can float then it will be alright. The same is true for steel ships. Due to advances in welding technology, most modern hulls have abandoned the practice of laying keels. Instead, they have been spliced ​​together in sections of steel boxes, and the bottom plate is under overall stress. There is no need to master the manufacture of wooden ships. method.

Regarding the new batch of cement ships, he has considered for a long time that whether -- is mining coal natural resource of Snow Mountain nearby or transporting refugees, it needs a group of inland river boats with a higher load to perform the task, so the flat bottom design with low draft still remains Is the most suitable choice. Compared to the conservatively designed H.M.S. Little Town, the new ship's hull can be longer, while ensuring load and stability while improving the speed of progress. At the same time, in order to reduce the difficulty of construction, Roland finally decided to choose a paddle wheel propulsion system. This has been tested on wooden boats, and it is easier for craftsmen to get started.

"His Highness, how many manpower do you plan to invest in building this ... cement ship?" Karl asked with a stun.

"Call all idle workers together, just like building a residential building, you can start several ships at once."

In this way, even if the newly assembled steam engine in the factory cannot be sold, it has its place. furnace area can also continue to fire cement without stopping, which can be described as doing more. In the coming year, if we can have a large cement fleet, no matter where the First Army attacks, it will be a reliable logistical guarantee.

After explaining this, Roland intends to take a look at the back garden of the castle.

The olive trees and vines planted by Leaf provide shelter snow shelters. If there is no work at hand, witches will generally practice the ability in the garden, and the new White Paper should be no exception.

Listening to Wendy, her ability is neither like controlling temperature nor reducing matter. Besides water, it has little effect on other objects, which makes Roland quite curious. Three days have passed now, and the little girl should not be as timid as she was when she first arrived, and it's better to watch it for herself.

When entering the garden, Roland noticed a singularity.

A lush area within the sight, as if completely isolated from the snow-white world outside. -- olive trees are evergreen trees, vines are intertwined between the branches, it is not strange that the snowflakes are not come in, but these plants are too much Lively. And unlike the silent forest, there is no cold wind, but the grass and trees are swaying gently, neatly and rhythmically.

He originally thought it was an illusion, but as he went deeper into it, he saw the branches of the olive tree hang down, as if to greet himself, and the grass at his feet fell to one side as if to welcome himself.

Roland feels a little creepy with this feeling, and goose bumps emerges from behind. I feel that I am not walking in the garden, but walking through the body of a giant creature.

The entire garden feels like breathing.
