Release that Witch Chapter 594: Shoal and reunion
This is an unexpected surprise. Fastest update
Roland originally thought that she would send several combat witchs to help out, but did not expect to come in person, which means that the troubles on the island have been resolved, or that Sleeping Island's stability will not be threatened for the time being.
The next day after receiving the letter, Roland and Anna and others greeted the arrival of Tilly in the shallows.
After half a month's construction, there are also many traces of artificial carving on the muddy beach.
Simple wooden board houses and sheds stand around the ramp. This is the prototype of the warehouse and sailor's dormitory in the future. In order to prevent corrosion by the sea wind, the windward side of the wooden house is painted with an orange-red coating, which is eye-catching and beautiful. A 30-meter-long beachhead was flattened by Lotus, and masonry was erected outside, acting as a temporary dock. Because it is a natural deep-water port, even the trestle is omitted, and even a three-masted sea boat can be docked directly next to it.
Most of the witchs are the first time they have seen a shoal that is entering the development stage, and they all look around curiously.
"Is that the big pit over there is the dock that collapsed before?" Anna walked to Roland, pointing to a busy group of workers in the distance. "What are they doing now?"
"Uh, you heard about it." Roland is slightly awkward.
"Of course, Nana the same day just told me, three workers were broken leg."
This incident and the deflagration that occurred during the trial operation of the coke oven are also called the two most serious accidents in the border area in the new year. The latter can also be said to be the price that has to be paid during the exploration. At least half of the responsibility of the former is Roland's intention.
Considering that the soil in the shoal is relatively soft, Minister of Construction Karl had suggested that it might be safer to build a dock on the edge of mountain ridge, but he rejected it. The main reason is that it took so long just to settle a long **** during the construction period, and then sunk a dock in the old way. I am afraid that the Thunder steam sea ship will be built next year.
As for the situation with loose sand, he doesn't think he needs to worry too much, just let Lotus make the outline of the dock and then pour the concrete into the retaining wall.
The project proceeded very smoothly at the beginning. As he thought, after the concrete had solidified, the four walls looked quite solid, like adding a stone wall to the foundation. For this reason, Roland also felt complacent, and felt that the same was true of civil dogs, and the accident occurred when the iron sluice gate was installed.
After the iron gate with a thick arm was out of contact with Hummingbird, it suddenly fell down with the concrete walls on both sides, smashing the workers installed below. Although Hummingbird made the door panel as light as goose feathers for the first time, the three people who were pressed were still seriously injured. If it was not treated in a timely manner by Nana, these people would not be able to survive.
Later investigation found that when the concrete wall was initially filled, some of the sand collapsed under the workers' footsteps and filled at the bottom. As a result, the wall was not tightly connected to the floor. The joint has only a thin layer. When the iron sluice gate is hung on such a wall, its own weight instantly exceeds the limit of the reinforcement, and the consequences can naturally be imagined.
In future generations, this is definitely a serious fault, but for this era, it is the most common situation when casualties occur during construction, so no one will take it seriously, let alone criticize feudal lord. The guilty conscience and guilt can only be experienced by Roland.
He cleared his throat and calmed his thoughts. "They're making wooden retaining walls."
"Used to reinforce the soil on both sides of the dock?" Anna quickly guessed the answer.
"Yeah, like the roots of a tree, crosses into the ground, which can increase the friction between sand and soil, so that the side walls will not easily collapse." Roland nodded, and with the previous lesson, this When backfilling concrete, it is sure to carefully check whether there is any residual falling sand inside the formwork.
"Look, there is a ship coming!" Mystery Moon shouted suddenly.
Everyone looked at Haitian along the line, and saw a sailing ship with a pink flag slowly approaching here.
Undoubtedly, there will be Sleeping Island's H.M.S. Clever Belle for sea vessels that will bypass the pole Southern sea corner and head to the hinterland of Western Region.
The ship hovered for a while after approaching the shallows, and then adjusted its direction toward the shore. Obviously, the other party did not expect that the shallows had become like this.
Roland saw Tilly Wimbledon, Greycastle's Fifth Princess again.
He handed her right hand, and the two of them smiled and held each other for months, but they didn't see each other for a few months, but she looked as if she had just parted yesterday, without feeling strange at all. It can be seen from the other person's eyes that she feels the same about herself.
This is a good reunion, he thought.
Other witchs are not so reserved.
Honey, Candlelight and Evelyn came up and embraced their former partners enthusiastically; Andrea and Nightingale stood side by side, completely without the style of noble; Wendy pulled up the hand of Ash and asked about the situation with concern; and Quiet Feather was surprised It was found that there was actually a witch of Blood Tooth Association among the visitors.
"Why are you here?" She frowned and walked to a pale witch. "Can't Hetty Morgan wait for my reply from Iffy, can't help but throw you over again?"
"No, Lady Hetty is on the boat," the other shook his head.
The "what" Quiet Feather's panic immediately caught everyone's attention, "You mean ... she also came to Western Region?"
It's not hard to hear, the little girl has a strong fear in her mouth.
"Who is Hetty?"
"It seems to be the leader of Blood Tooth Association?"
"Ah ... Iffy seems to have been mentioned. "
"What will she do?"
Roland looks at Tilly, "You got her?"
"If you mean uniforms, you can think of the plan as successful, and Hetty did deal with the illusion of Anne," said Tilly, "but she refused to disclose the witch rejected by Blood Tooth Association along the way. Whereabouts, and said that she will only speak after seeing you. "
"See me?" Roland froze.
"Yes, I guess she treats you as the last straw for life," Tilly blinked. "The ruler of Kingdom of Greycastle, the representative of the secular noble, as long as he can provide enough benefits, she should let her go. Life, and even helped her return to the position of Wolf Heart ... probably. "
"Are you reminding me on purpose?" He couldn't help laughing, and had to say that when Tilly pretended to be side-by-side, he looked very cute, "Relax, if I will use the benefits To measure the life of witch, you won't bring her to me. By the way, who the witch is, I never seem to have seen it before. "
"Sunset, combat witch of Blood Tooth Association," Tilly answer said, "If she did not use Symbiosis Seed to sustain the life of Hetty, the latter would not be able to reach Neverwinter City." (To be continued ...) r
