Release that Witch

485. Chapter 485 Parting Day

    “The ship is coming.”

    A light sail appeared at the end of the light gray sea antenna. There are no other merchant ships here, so only the ones from Sleeping Island’s can be seen.

    “Well,” Tilly sighed softly, mixing the sounds of the sea and the shoals of the shoal, which seemed to be nothing. Roland couldn’t see her expression because she was facing her.

    “I have to go,” Andrea said with a bit of regret. “I like your territory very much. I don’t know if I can make a delicious ice cream bread like here after returning to Sleeping Island.”

    In addition to a well-prepared bolt action rifle, Roland gave her ice cream recipes to her. “As long as there are eggs and milk, the taste will not be bad, waiting for your next visit to Border Town…No, when there is Neverwinter City, I will have something better here. ”

    “Is it better than ice cream?”Andrea held the flying blond hair and smiled. “Feudal lord can’t lie, I remember if you said it.”

    “You have to be so reluctant, just stay here,” Ash murmured. “His Royal Highness Tilly will not mind that there is one less guy who can eat like this – Sleeping Island can’t make you open your belly.”

    Oh yeah? After returning, the ice cream didn’t have your share,” Andrea glanced at her. “You will give me salty dried fish every day, drink fish soup.” ”

    The two were routinely between the mouths of the bucket, and the sailboat gradually approached the coast. The pink flag fluttering from the top of the mast shows that it was HMS Clever Belle.

    Shavi summons an invisible barrier to and from the shoal and the sailboat, carrying the books and supplies to the fjord a little bit. In the end, the card-playing trio and the Fifth Princess were transported, and as Tilly stepped onto the barrier, Roland stopped her.

“……What’s the matter?She turned her head back and there were some complicated emotions in her eyes.

    For the occasion of separation, Roland is not good at it. Calling her name is only subconscious. In the end, he takes a deep breath and sighs. “If you have any problems at Sleeping Island, you can always tell me, I will also Find a way to help you solve it. In addition, Neverwinter City will always welcome you! ”

“……”After a while, Tilly showed a shallow smile. “Thank you, you too.”

    “Goodbye, everyone.”Andrea and Shavi waved.

    Ash didn’t talk, but he waved with the two.

    After bidding farewell to the crowd, the barrier carried four people and quickly slid to the beauty.

    “What’s wrong, can’t bear it?”The sound of Nightingale came from behind.

    “It’s just a little pity, more than 300 witches…If you can move to the Western Region, how good it is,” Roland pretended to be easy.

    “Yeah, then your sin is even deeper,” Nightingale gave him a blank look.

    “Ahhhh……Sin? ”Roland shouted.

    “Why is life here better than Sleeping Island?”Anna is also puzzled.

    “You don’t understand it,” she turned and walked straight toward the hot air balloon. “This is the most irritating.”

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

    “Let’s go back, there are still a lot of things to do,” Wendy laughed.

    “Well,” Roland and Anna smiled and held each other’s hands and walked toward the lookout.

……

    Returning to the office, Roland opened the notebook and began to consider the direction of the territory in the new year.

    The most important of the current is undoubtedly two things.

    The first is to push Timothy down to the throne, avoiding his continued use of Berserker drug pills to consume the kingdom’s population potential, while also greatly expanding his reputation and preparing for the next unified Greycastle.

    The second is to digest Longsong Stronghold as soon as possible, so that Neverwinter City will get back on track as soon as possible.

    Regarding the former, he has discussed with Iron Axe, Carter and Tasa, who is far away from Kingdom Capital, and decided to launch a spring offensive at the end of April, the end of this month. At that time, it was the day when most cities started farming. The professional First Army was not affected by the ploughing period, but it was different for the traditional noble. At that time, a large number of people would be bound to the land, and no one would like it. Drive the risk of starving in the future and start the battle. If the army suddenly appears on the outskirts of Kingdom Capital, it can be beaten by others.

    Now Steam Engine Factory, ammunition factory and cement boat shed are working overtime to produce war materials, logistics is running at full speed, and now City Hall is well-equipped, and the First Army is not the first to fight, whether it is the preparation of the items or the deployment The plan, both sides have a heart, Roland is not too worried about this.

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

    Thinking of this, Roland called the Premier Minister Barov to the office.

    “Are the industries of Longsong stronghold and surrounding territories counted out?” ”

    He took out a small book that he carried with him. “All of them are here. Stronghold income comes mainly from the mining and salt industries. In particular, the former – near the Impassable Mountain Range in the west of Longsong Stronghold, has a superior qualitative gem mine, which previously accounted for more than half of stronghold income. ”

    “gem mine?”Roland is not very interested in this luxury. “Isn’t the Northern Slope Mine also produced raw gems? How come the town is still poor when I come?”

    “Not the same, Your Highness,” Barov said. “The gems of the Northern Slope Mine are born with other veins, very few, and they are not necessarily used as jewellery materials after cutting. But stronghold’s gem mine is different. Its rock walls are covered with colorful stones. You can get a good quality colored colored stone by knocking on it. You can sell dozens of gold royals to Kingdom Capital. Both production and quality are far from being comparable to the Northern Slope Mine. ”

    “five colored stone ?”He was curious, “What is it like?”

    “It looks a bit transparent, and it has no fixed color. Under the 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 at the same time. Red and blue gem, it is more like the crystallization of the sun.”Barov paused, “Greycastle’s five colored stone, Eternal Winter’s ice crystal stone and Dawn’s luminous stone, is the most sought-after jewel among noble.”

    It sounds gorgeous, Roland thought, and used it to build a ring for Anna in the future, but for the construction of people’s livelihood, gem mine doesn’t mean much. “Is there other mineral natural resources?”

    “The Maple Leaf Family and the Wild Rose family each have an iron ore,” Barov said. “It’s not as big as the Northern Slope Mine.”

    Both of these territories are next to the Impassable Mountains – it seems that the mountains across the Four Great Kingdoms are really a treasure trove, Roland thought, maybe it would be necessary to bring Silvy, explore along the foot of the mountain and discover the ore of Neverwinter City. The reserves are gone. After all, for industrial production, steel represents power.
