Release that Witch Chapter 584: The estuary
After returning to Border Town again after almost four months, Lotus has a new feeling.
This town seems to be growing. Even the snow-free days haven't stopped its expansion. This feeling is especially obvious when boarding the Scarlet Water Bridge.
Buildings are like neat blocks, arranged on the south bank of the river, and the dock area on the opposite side has grown more than a few times. At any time, you can see many smoky stone ships coming and going on the river. The original sparkling river was covered.
"It's much more lively here than Sleeping Island," Honey lay on the side of the bridge railing and looked down. "There are as many people as ants."
"I feel the same way," she remembered that when the bridge was first built, she didn't understand why Your Majesty had to make the bridge so spacious, and it felt like a waste of material. Now it seems that this decision is just right.
The people on both sides of the strait are constantly flowing, and from time to time someone will look at them, seemingly curious about their dress and appearance.
If in other cities, Lotus may have to consider how to escape.
Apart from the changes you can see at a glance, there are many improvements in life.
For example, a heating system that makes people feel warm and warm when they listen to it, electric lights that can bring bright light at night, and new foods that replace ice cream bread, etc. These can listen to Evelyn and Candlelight. God, but none of them surprised the Lotus the most.
In fact, what made her think the biggest change was the relationship between witch and ordinary people.
This can be seen in the tavern opened by Evelyn.
The pub is funded by Witch Union. Evelyn serves as the manager and bartender, and prepares novel and delicious drinks for patrons Western Region's. It is said that this is also the idea of Your Majesty's. -- is not in the drawer. Let the witches salary stay in the drawer. Some business.
Lotus was invited by Wendy. I went there and drank two glasses of iced apple wine. The taste is really good. It has the mellow aroma that ale does not have, but also has a strong fruity taste. It is clean in a transparent crystal glass cup. The light green color looks quite attractive. And the environment is not as noisy and chaotic as ordinary pubs. Guests basically sit at their tables and drink and talk. The ground, tables and wine utensils are cleaned up. If it is not the rows of wine barrels behind the bar, she would not No such place would be associated with a pub.
Of course, this is also related to the expensive price of drinks.
Evelyn is standing in front of the bar and talking to customers like the general manager. No one will scold or scold because she is witch. On the contrary, there are many foreign businessmen who come to drink specifically because of curiosity. Lotus rarely saw her smiling so happily. -- can see that she really likes this job.
Lotus remembered that before leaving, most of the activities of witch were basically within the castle area. If they needed to go out, Your Majesty's guards usually followed to protect them, but now they have gradually integrated into every part of the town.
In just one winter, it can make such a big change in Western Region, which is really incredible.
And the night talk of Wendy also gave her a deeper understanding of --. Perhaps this is why the witches of the league is willing to pay everything for this.
Because they are not only building Neverwinter City for Your Majesty Roland, they are also building their own homes.
"Let ’s go," Lotus said to Honey, "If it goes well, today ’s transformation of the estuary will be completed."
"Oh!"
...
When the last rock sank into underground, Lotus wiped the fine sweat on the forehead, released a long breath.
"Amazing," Honey applauded, "You actually gave a way to mountain ridge."
A row of birds squatting on the treetops above her head also screamed.
"Of course," Lotus smiled proudly, "there is nothing I can't do."
Unlike the Sleeping Island's sea reef, the rock formations here are much deeper and harder, so it costs magic power to settle. Fortunately, she does not need to turn the entire mountain ridge into flat ground. According to the Your Majesty's plan, she only needs to open a passage for five or six carriages in parallel. With the experience of the iron bridge, this time she will no longer think that such a spacious road is redundant.
Because the hills are more than forty meters higher than the sea surface, there is only one quickest way, which is to sink the ground a little bit and eventually become a long gentle slope.
In order to facilitate the carriage, she also deliberately pressed the surface rocks into a straight pavement, so that even if it rains, it will not form different depths of puddles.
Now as long as you stand on the top of the slope, you can see the golden shoal and the blue sea opposite. The cool sea breeze surges along the slope, mixed with a familiar salty taste.
"Did you bring fire?" Honey jumped up to her.
"No, what are you doing?"
"Of course I'm going to grill the fish," she pouted. "I'm responsible for attracting the fish. How about you to push them out of the water? It's okay without the fire. It dries in the sun for two days. . "
The birds above them growled even more.
Lotus rolled his eyes, "I won't make the fishy smell of salted fish here! In other words, were you not tired of that stuff in Sleeping Island?"
"Eh? I think it's pretty good," Honey said, tilting his head.
"In short, it ’s forbidden to fish here, and Your Majesty wo n’t like the fishy smell of salted fish.” Lotus suddenly remembered Ash and wondered if she was still troubled by various fish soup in Sleeping Island, “I heard Your Majesty said , He plans to build a seaport here so that Lady Tilly can come anytime he wants, and he wo n’t have to fly over the mountains by hot air balloon. "
Hearing the name of His Highness Tilly, Honey's attention was immediately attracted, "then ... will she come over?"
The expression of the little girl is even better than that of animals. Lotus patted her fluffy hair. "I don't know, but Your Majesty is about to go to war with Church. She should come to help her brother."
Actually, she doesn't know anything, especially after knowing the details of Blood Tooth Association and Hetty Morgan. Before --, she always disliked these combat witch's high-spirited attitude. Now it seems that they are also a group of poor people.
When the shell of prejudice is removed, they are no different from themselves. At least now, she and Iffy can occasionally say a few words, but other combat witch on the island will certainly not be so easy to be persuaded by Tilly.
"Oh, that's great!"
Great? This guy didn't know anything about the war. Lotus said in his heart that if Lady Tilly couldn't solve the trouble of Blood Tooth Association and Church attacked Your Majesty Roland with all his strength, that would be trouble.
But she also hopes that Lady Tilly will come to Border Town again.
Also, it is best to live forever.
In this way, her wish in the winter will be able to achieve --
"In this way, whether you are yourself or other witch, you can all live happily in Border Town."
