Release that Witch

253. Chapter 253 Hot Air Balloon Trade

    “His Royal Highness, I want to ask you when I enter the door,” Hogg reveals a look that has finally slowed down. A pot of ice water in the bucket was drunk by him. “The painting in the hall…I am afraid that not the average person can draw it? Whether it is the degree of realism or the perspective of the earth from the air. ”He paused, pressing down the voice, “Is this the work of…witch?”

    Roland looked at Margery, who nodded. “Please rest assured, Your Highness, Hogg is an old friend I have known for many years. He is also not malicious to the witch.”

    “You guessed it, it was indeed drawn by the witch.”Roland had a hot air balloon ride on the beach near the two days ago and wanted to preserve the magnificent scenery. The castle was decorated in a simple living room with no hanging paintings. He simply let Soraya be behind the main seat. The stone wall turned into a huge mural. With the artistic background wall, the lobby style has been improved several times.

    “I knew,” Hogg sighed. “Although they were promoted as Devil’s minions, those singular abilities are enviable. Ordinary people can’t fly into the air like them, and draw a beautiful mural. ”

    “You just said the first half,” Roland shook his head. “Ordinary people can fly even if they don’t rely on magic power. They even fly higher than the eagle and fly faster than the Swift.”

    “You are really funny,” Hogg laughed. “Unless we have a pair of wings, we have to be lighter than birds.”

    Margery is awkward, “Really?”

    “Of course,” the prince laughed. “I can prove it to you.”

    Letting businessmen see their own inventions is also an effective way to increase relationships and expand trade channels – from mugs to white wines. It’s another thing to sell and not sell. Anyway, the caravan will stay in the small town for a few days. The regular business negotiation process should be the final signing of eating, drinking and playing. And Anna is also very interested in taking a hot air balloon trip, just to let her take a lot of rest from the busy work, it is a multi-tasking.

    The lookout quickly completed the inflating. This time, Roland simply called the witch who couldn’t get to the hot air balloon last time. Lucia also asked if she could take her sister to see it. He also promised.

    When the balloon lifted the crowd slowly, Margery covered his mouth in surprise, and Hogg clutched the edge of the basket, wondering if he was excited or afraid. The bell was too short to see the scenery outside the basket. Lucia had to pick her up, ride on her shoulder, carefully approach the basket, and slap her. Lightning, as a navigator and rescuer, has been hovering around the hot air balloon, and occasionally screaming at the bell.

    In this way, the hot air balloon once again swayed along the southern coastline and completed an aerial sightseeing tour.

……

    After returning to the castle, Hogg’s legs were still shaking, and he stuttered. “I never thought that looking down in the sky is so terrible. I feel like I will fall at any time.”

    “It’s good to fly a few times,” Roland laughs. “The first time someone left the ground will have the illusion that it’s like a person who has never been to the sea, and will spit on a bumpy sea boat.”

    “You are a little bit good,” Margery exclaimed. “The scenery I saw today is incredible. Looking from the air to the edge of the sea, it looks like a blue arc.”

    “But your Highness, I don’t seem to be wrong,” Hogg drank the white wine. “Ordinary people have indeed flown into the sky, but this is still the credit of the witch.” Without them, this big guy should not be able to fly. ”

    “No, my old friend,” Roland said, and Margery said first. “Don’t you find out?” Miss Anna is just releasing the flames. I also specifically asked Lightning, she told me that as long as I put in the air into the air bag, I can lift myself into the sky. The flame is not the privilege of the witch, my Highness, am I right? ”

    Whether it’s Fjord Marine Commerce, which is firmly established in Kingdom Capital, Roland laughed and nodded, both in terms of observation and thinking ability. “The heat rises and the air sinks, which is why it is called a hot air balloon.”

    “Really just use a little brazier?”Hogg wondered.

    “That can’t be done, because you want to let it float in the air, you have to continue to heat, and the wood itself is very heavy, can not bring too much, must be solved in a special way.”

    “Can you do it?”Margery can’t wait to ask.

    Hmmm……It should be OK,” Roland thought for a moment. “It was a little trouble. ”

    “That’s great,” she said immediately. “I hope I can buy four or five hot air balloons from here. It doesn’t have to be too big. Just carry one person.”

    “Do you want to put it on board?”Hogg asked.

    “Well, the mast can’t extend indefinitely, but the hot air balloon can, just tie the rope under the basket and let it not drift away with the wind. then it will be alright. With a hot air balloon, you can find the pirate ship of nearby earlier. For the maritime business, in addition to the unpredictable storms and tsunamis, the most harmful is the pirates in groups. ”

    “But its cost may not be too low,” Roland estimated in his heart. “I expect a thousand gold royals or more.”

    If you don’t use the witch to heat it, the hot air balloon will have to use gaseous fuel. The easiest thing to get is the gas. Unfortunately, Greycastle’s coal mine is in the Cold Wind Ridge area, too far from the Border Town. According to the current traffic conditions, there is almost no way to ship it. Switching to hot air balloon is easier to achieve, but it also needs to solve the problem of gas storage tanks – there is no practical value if you can’t do it.

    “A thousand gold royals per balloon, how?”Margery countered, “If you really do this, I can guarantee that all caravans going to and from the fjord want to buy one or two.”

    “This time the Crescent Moon Bay Caravan didn’t come together, or they will definitely have the next big order,” Hogg drank the white wine in his hand. “I don’t have to. The hot air balloon looks amazing, but to Silver. The Light City mine has no use. I only hope to get my Steam engine as soon as possible. ”

    The price offered by the other party made Roland happy. The thousand gold royals were the premium he had raised five times in estimating the price. I didn’t expect the other party to accept twice the price of the Steam engine. However, if you think about it carefully, the cargo carried by a sea boat is likely to be more than this price, not to mention the entire commercial fleet and the ship’s sailors. As long as it can avoid the pirate’s looting, the deal comes to the sea merchants. It is still cost-effective.

    In addition, thousands of gold royals are not a hammer sale, whether it is hydrogen or gas, they are consumables. When they are used up, they have to get back to the small town to inflate, which is another extra income…Of course, if you buy a large number of gas tanks at a time, you can consider the discount or the number of inflating. At this point, the 4S shop and two barrels of oil are examples of his learning and imitation.

    Roland hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, “So the deal.”
