Release that Witch - Chapter 492

[Chapter 485 The Day of Parting]

“The ship is coming.”

A sail appeared at the end of the light gray sea line.

There are no other merchant ships passing here, so the only ships that can be seen are from Sleeping Island.

“En,” Tilly responded lightly, her voice mixed with the noise of sea water washing over the shallows, making it seem like nothing.

With his back turned to him, Roland couldn’t see her expression.

“I’m leaving,” Andrea said with some regret in her tone, “I quite like your territory, and I don’t know if I can make delicious ice cream bread like this one after returning to Sleeping Island.”

In addition to a bolt-action rifle that was agreed upon, Roland also gave her the recipe of the ice cream, “As long as there are eggs and milk, the taste will not be that bad. When you visit Border Town next time… no , in Neverwinter, I will have more delicious food here.”

“Better than ice cream?” Andrea held down her flying blond hair and smiled, “The lord can’t lie, I’ll tell you what you say.” Remember.”

“If you’re so reluctant, why not just stay here,” Ashes spread his hands, “His Highness Tilly certainly wouldn’t mind losing such an edible guy by her side—Sleeping Island can’t open you up Belly.”

“Oh, is it? You won’t have ice cream after you go back,” Andrea glared at her, “Just eat dried salted fish for me every day and drink fishy fish soup.” The

two During the routine bickering, the sailboat gradually approached the shore, and from the pink flag fluttering on the top of the mast, it could be seen that it was the Pretty Woman.

Shawei summoned an invisible barrier, went back and forth between the shoal and the sailboat, and carried the books and supplies to the fjord onto the boat bit by bit.

The last ones transported were the card-playing trio and the fifth princess. Just as Tilly was stepping up the barrier, Roland stopped her.

“…What’s the matter?” She turned her head, with complicated emotions in her eyes.

Roland is not good at the occasion of parting, and calling out her name is just subconsciously. Finally, he took a deep breath and said loudly, “If you encounter any problems on Sleeping Island, you can tell me anytime, and I will also Find a

way to help you solve it. Besides, Neverwinter will always welcome you!”

“…” Tilly smiled slightly after a while, “Thank you, and you too.”

“Goodbye, everyone.” Ann Delia and Shavi waved.

Ashes didn’t speak, but waved after the two of them.

After bidding farewell to the witches, the barrier carried four people and quickly slid towards the pretty beauties.

“What’s the matter, can’t bear it?” Nightingale’s voice came from behind.

“It’s just a pity, there are more than 300 witches… It would be great if all of them could move to the western region,” Roland said pretending to be relaxed.

“That’s right, then your crime will be even more serious,” Nightingale rolled his eyes at him.

“Ah… sin?” Roland asked in a daze.

“Why, isn’t life here better than Sleeping Island?” Anna also looked puzzled.

“You guys don’t understand after I say it,” she turned around and walked straight towards the hot air balloon, “This is the most irritating thing.”

Looking at the back of the other party, Roland breathed a sigh of relief. After two days of disappearing, Nightingale seemed to have recovered. Reaching the previous state, this made him finally feel at ease.

“Let’s go back too, there are still many things to be busy,” Wendy laughed.

“Well,” Roland and Anna smiled at each other, held each other’s hands, and walked towards the Lookout together.

…

Returning to the office, Roland spread out his notepad and began to think about the development direction of the territory in the new year.

The most important things at the moment are undoubtedly two things.

The first is to push Timothy down from the throne, so as to prevent him from using mad pills to consume the population potential of the kingdom. At the same time, it can also greatly expand his reputation and prepare for the unification of Graycastle.

The second is to digest the Longsong Fortress as soon as possible, so that Neverwinter can get on the right track as soon as possible.

Regarding the former, he had discussed with Iron Axe, Carter, and Tasa who was far away in the royal capital many times, and decided to launch the spring offensive at the end of April, that is, at the end of this month.

At that time, it was the day when most cities started plowing and planting. The professional first army would not be affected by the plowing period, but it was different for the traditional nobles. At that time, a large number of people would be bound to the land, and no one would Willing to start a war at the risk of starvation in the future.

If the army suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the capital, it would completely catch the opponent by surprise.

Now the steam engine factory, ammunition factory, and cement ship shed are all working overtime to produce war materials, and the logistics work is also running at full speed. Now the city hall is full of manpower, and it is not the first time for the First Army to go out to fight, whether it is the items that need to be prepared or deployed. Both sides knew the plan well, and Roland wasn’t too worried about it.

Therefore, the focus of recent work should be on absorbing fortress resources.

Thinking of this, Roland summoned Chief Barov to the office.

“Have you counted all the industries in Longsong Fortress and its surrounding territories?”

He took out the notebook he carried with him, “It’s all here Your Highness, the income of the fortress mainly comes from the mining and salt industry. Especially the previous item – in Changsong To the west of Song Fortress, near the Impassable Mountain Range, there is a high-quality gem mine, and its output accounted for more than half of the income of the fortress before.”

“Gem mine?” Roland was not very interested in this luxury, “North Slope Isn’t the mine also producing rough gemstones, why was the town so poor when I came here?”

“It’s not the same, Your Highness,” Barov rubbed his hands, “The gemstones in the North Slope Mine are produced along with other veins, the quantity is very small, and they may not be used as jewelry raw materials after cutting. But the gemstone mines in the fortress are different. , its rock walls are full of colorful stones, you can get a high-quality five-color stone if you knock it casually, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com can sell dozens of golden dragons when you transport it to the capital, and the output The quality and quality are far from what the North Slope Mine can match.”

“Five-color stone?” He asked curiously, “What is it like?”

“It looks a little transparent, it has no fixed color itself, and it can reflect different colors under sunlight. The luster can change from light green to orange red, and after cutting, it can even present multiple colors on a single gem at the same time, compared to ordinary red and sapphire, it is more like the crystallization of the sun.” Barov paused “The five-color stone of Graycastle, the cryolite of eternal winter and the luminous stone of dawn are the most sought-after jewels among nobles.”

It sounds quite gorgeous, Roland thought, and use it to make a ring for Anna in the future Yes, but for the construction of people’s livelihood, gem mines are of little significance, “Are there other mineral resources?”

“The Maple Leaf family and the Wild Rose family each own an iron mine,” Barov said, “the scale is not as large as that of the North Slope. Mine.”

And these two territories are next to the Impassable Mountains – it seems that the mountains spanning the four kingdoms are really a treasure house, Roland thought, maybe it is necessary to take Sylvie and explore along the foot of the mountain, The ore reserves of Neverwinter City have been ascertained.

After all, for industrial production, steel represents strength.
