Release that Witch Chapter 485: Day of departure

"The ship is here."

A sail appears at the end of the light gray sea horizon. There are no other merchant ships passing here, so only Sleeping Island's ships can be seen.

"Yeah," Tilly responded softly, the sound mixed with the noise of the sea-washing shoal, seemingly absent. With her back to herself, Roland couldn't see her expression.

"Let's go," Andrea said with some regrets, "I quite like your territory, and I don't know if I can return to Sleeping Island, can I make ice cream bread as delicious as here."

In addition to the agreed bolt action rifle, Roland also gave her the recipe of ice cream, "As long as there is eggs and milk, the taste will not be worse, wait for your next visit to Border Town ... no , Neverwinter City, I will still have something better here. "

"It's better than ice cream?" Andrea held down his flying blond hair and laughed, "feudal lord can't be deceiving, I remember what you said."

"If you want to be so reluctant, just stay here," Ash said, "His Highness Tilly will certainly not mind if there is one less edible guy Sleeping Island around you, but you ca n’t open your belly."

"Oh, is it? After you go back, the ice cream is no longer yours, "Andrea glared at her," You give me dried fish every day and drink fishy fish soup. "

Between the two men, the sailing boat was gradually approaching the coast. As can be seen from the pink flag flying at the top of the mast, it was H.M.S. Clever Belle.

Shavi summons an invisible barrier, traveling between the shoal and the sailing boat, and will carry books and materials to the fjord a little bit to be carried on board. The last to be transported was the card trio and Fifth Princess. As Tilly stepped onto the barrier, Roland stopped her.

"... What's wrong?" She looked back, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.

Roland is not good at this occasion of parting. Calling her name is only subconsciously. Finally, he take a deep breath, vocally, "If you encounter any problems in Sleeping Island, please tell me at any time, I will also Way to help you solve it. In addition, Neverwinter City will always welcome you! "

"..." After a while, Tilly smiled slightly, "Thank you, so are you."

"Goodbye, everyone." Andrea and Shavi waved.

Ash did not speak, but waved with the two.

Farewell to the public witch, the barrier carried four people, and quickly slid towards the pretty woman.

"What's wrong, can't bear it?" Nightingale's voice came from behind him.

"It's just a pity. More than 300 witch ... It would be nice if you could move to Western Region," Roland pretended to be relaxed.

"Yeah, then your sins will be deeper," Nightingale gave him a white look.

"Ah ... sin? "Roland marshals.

"Why, isn't life here better than Sleeping Island?" Anna was also puzzled.

"You do n’t understand that," she turned and walked towards the hot-air balloon. "This is the most irritating."

Looking at the other person's back, Roland breathed a sigh of relief. After disappearing for two days, Nightingale seemed to return to the previous state, which finally made him feel relieved.

"Let's go back too, there are still many things to do," Wendy laughed.

"Yeah," Roland and Anna smiled at each other, took each other's hands, and walked towards the Yuanwang together.

...

Back at the office, Roland spread out the notepad and began to consider the development direction of the territory in the new year.

Currently the most important is undoubtedly two things.

The first is to push Timothy down the throne, to prevent him from using the Berserker drug pills to consume the population potential of the kingdom, and at the same time, it can greatly expand his reputation and prepare for the next unification of Greycastle.

The second is to digest Longsong Stronghold as soon as possible to get Neverwinter City on track as soon as possible.

Regarding the former, he has discussed with Iron Axe, Carter and Tasa far from Kingdom Capital many times, and decided to launch the spring offensive at the end of April, which is the end of this month. At that time, it was the day when most cities started to cultivate and plant. Professional First Army will not be affected by the cultivation period, but it is different for traditional noble. At that time, a large number of people will be tied to the land, and no one is willing to risk it. With the risk of starving in the future, the war begins. If the army suddenly appeared outside the Kingdom Capital, they could be caught by surprise.

Now Steam Engine Factory, ammunition factory and cement ship shed are working overtime to produce war materials, and logistic work is also running at full speed. Now City Hall has sufficient manpower, and First Army is not the first time to go to battle. Whether it is an item that needs preparation or a deployment plan , Both sides know, Roland is not too worried about this.

So the focus of recent work should be on absorbing stronghold natural resource.

Thinking here, Roland called Prime Minister Barov to the office.

"Are statistics on the industries of Longsong Stronghold and the surrounding territories?"

He took out a small notebook that he carried with him. "All are here, Your Highness. stronghold's income mainly comes from the mining and salt industry. Especially the former item is located near the Impassable Mountain Range on the west side of Longsong Stronghold. There is an excellent qualitative gem mine. Before it Output accounts for more than half of stronghold income. "

"gem mine?" Roland is not very interested in this luxury product. "Isn't Northern Slope Mine also produced by raw gems, why was the town so poor when I arrived?"

"Not the same, Your Highness," Barov rubbed his hands. "Northern Slope Mine's gem were born with other mineral veins. The number is very small, and it may not be used as jewelry raw materials after cutting. But stronghold's gem mine is different, its rock wall. It's full of colorful stones, and you can get a high-quality five colored stone by just tapping it. When you ship it to Kingdom Capital, you can sell dozens of gold royals. The output and quality are far from Northern Slope Mine. "

"five colored stone?" he wondered, "What is it like?"

"It looks a bit transparent, and it does n’t have a fixed color. Under sunlight, it can reflect different luster. It can change from light green to orange red. After cutting, it can even present multiple colors on a gem. Compared with ordinary red and blue gem, it is more like the crystal of the sun. "Barov paused," Greycastle's five colored stone, Eternal Winter's ice crystal stone and Dawn's luminous stones, are the most sought after jewelry among noble. "

It sounds gorgeous, Roland thinks, I will use it to build a ring for Anna in the future, but for the construction of people's livelihood, gem mine is of little significance. "Are there other minerals natural resource?"

"Maple Leaf Family and Wild Rose each have one iron ore," said Barov, "neither of them is as large as Northern Slope Mine."

These two territories are next to Impassable Mountains. It seems that the mountains across Four Great Kingdoms are really a treasure trove. Roland thought that it might be necessary to bring Silvie and search along the foot of the mountain to find out the ore reserves of Neverwinter City. After all, for industrial production, steel represents strength. (To be continued.)
