Release that Witch - Chapter 24

[Chapter 24 Development Plan]

When Roland woke up in the morning, it was not Tyre who served him, but an elderly maid.

Walking out of the bedroom, the Chief Knight Carter was waiting for him outside the door.

“Your Highness, I have to tell you some sad news,” he said in a deep voice, “Your maid died last night.”

“What?” Roland’s eyelids twitched. Even though he knew this was the result, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, this person died because of him.

“She fell from the balcony of the room. There were no traces of fighting at the scene, and the guards did not see outsiders coming in or out. So… it should be her accidental fall. It was an accident.”

The knight reported the results of the investigation while looking at Roland with strange eyes.

Of course Roland knew what he was thinking. It was well known that the fourth prince wanted to occupy Tire many times when he was in Graycastle.

In this era, it is very normal for a prince to have a relationship with a maid beside him. There are few entertainment activities and almost no nightlife. If you have enough to eat and have nothing to do, you will naturally think about making people.

Not only do they make it themselves, but the prince and the upper-class nobles also exchange women, and even gather together to hold a man-made party, so the real chaos in the noble circle is not just a joke.

The fourth prince is relatively restrained here, and after being replaced by Roland, he has never even touched a woman—except for Tyre, the level of the rest of the maids can be said to be shabby.

In addition, after crossing, he will face the Moon of Demons, his mind is almost completely filled with farming plans, and he has no time to enjoy the romantic life of the aristocrats.

“It’s really a pity,” Roland pretended to be sorry, “Let’s leave Tyr’s funeral to the elderly maid who served me this morning. She is the new head maid.”

Carter nodded, saluted and left.

As soon as Roland stepped into the office, he saw Nightingale sitting on the mahogany table.

“Did you ask anything?”

“Nothing, she committed suicide when she saw me,” her tone was a little frustrated, “too fast, without even the slightest hesitation.”

“You didn’t stop her?” Roland walked around her and sat back on the armchair.

“I tied her up,” Nightingale leaned forward and leaned closer. “Who would have thought that she had poison hidden in her teeth. I had to fake an accidental fall.”

“I thought you had a lot of experience, so you still have the nerve to get paid?”

“Hey, don’t say that. Even though I didn’t ask anything from her, it doesn’t mean I got nothing.” Nightingale chuckled, and put a piece of folded paper in front of Roland. “I found it in her room.” of.”

Roland spread out the paper, it was a letter from home, the sender called Tyre his sister, and the content was just ordinary chat.

However, he noticed that the other party mentioned the sea many times, such as the beautiful scenery of the sea, and her favorite thing to do is to stay on the beach and watch the sunset.

At the end of the letter, she asked her sister when she could come back. She missed her very much.

Reminiscent of the territories of several brothers and sisters, Roland asked uncertainly, “The third sister of Bishui Port?”

“Probably that’s the case. Your two elder brothers can’t see the sea. According to my speculation, the third princess Garcia Wimbledon held her sister as a hostage and used her as a hidden pawn. Since she committed suicide Judging from her decisive style, it is unlikely that it was arranged randomly. That is to say, she has received at least two to three years of relevant training before being placed by your side.”

Roland sighed softly, and sure enough, the King’s Order will not end so easily.

Even if he doesn’t fight, it doesn’t mean he stays out of it.

For the sake of the throne, his brothers and sisters have no worries at all, and similar things may happen again in the future.

“Ah, someone is here. I will take my leave first, Your Highness.”

Nightingale blew provocatively at Roland, and then disappeared out of nowhere in the blink of an eye.

Although it was not the first time seeing him, Roland was still taken aback by playing in broad daylight.

He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively stretched out his finger towards the vacant table, but halfway through it was stopped by a soft hand, “Your Highness, what you do will make Anna sad.”

Well, it seems that her ability is invisibility rather than disappearance, Roland thought, otherwise it would be too scary.

There was a knock on the door, “Your Highness, I am Barov.”

Roland withdrew his fingers and returned to his expressionless face, “Come in.”

The minister’s assistant walked into the office with a large bundle of files, and began to report on the government affairs for nearly a week before his butt was hot.

Roland also put away his thoughts and listened to him attentively.

After more than a month of immersion, he found that he could keep up with the opponent’s rhythm, instead of being dizzy and completely confused at the beginning.

In general, Bianbian Town’s finances have improved to a certain extent, mainly due to the sale of ores and rough gemstones to Liuye Town and the acquisition of nearly two hundred golden dragons.

After the money was used to buy food and pay wages, there were still 90 pieces left.

Barov was also in a high mood, and with spare money in hand, it wouldn’t be too difficult to get through this winter.

But Roland is destined not to let him idle, “I will select a group of people from the people to fight against the evil beasts, and they must gather together for training from now on. My chief knight will be the instructor. Explain to him. You have to make a purchase plan, and this group of people must have strong leather armor and a long gun, and two sets of winter clothes that can be changed.”

“Your Highness, isn’t this…according to the usual practice, isn’t the leader temporarily recruited to fight?”

“A team that goes to the battlefield without training is nothing but a mob. Can relying on the number of people scare away the evil beasts? It will be more troublesome if they break up.”

“Are you really planning to defend Border Town?” Barov asked hesitantly.

“If we really can’t hold it, we will of course retreat, but I don’t think we can’t even deal with a few mutated beasts.”

“If you follow your plan, you will have to spend another sum of money.”

The other party made Roland laugh with a miserly look, “These are necessary expenses, let’s do it quickly.”

He still has more than 300 gold dragons in his treasury, which are mainly used to pay for the construction of the city wall.

The materials and parts needed to order the steam engine from the blacksmith shop were also paid for by himself. The first one cost almost twenty gold dragons, and he needed at least three more.

It is true that the steam engine promoted the first industrial revolution, but it does not mean that the steam engine is equal to the industrial revolution.

Historically, Britain has developed to the point where a new driving force is urgently needed to replace humans and livestock to meet production in mining areas.

After Watt improved the steam engine, he immediately received a large number of orders, and this new power was also popularized in various industries within a short period of time.

At this time, Border Town has no foundation for the Industrial Revolution at all, and it can even be said that there is no industry at all.

Therefore, Roland didn’t expect to make his first pot of gold by selling steam engines. He only wanted to invest in such machines in the Beishan mining area for pulling ore and gravel.

After the output of mines increases, expanding the scale of steam engine use is equivalent to promoting industrial development from top to bottom.
