Release that Witch Chapter 954: New Great Wheel

"She can go ashore now ..." Roland said with great interest, "I remember you said that she chose not to contact humans for a long time after she chose to be in the sea."

"Thanks to the help of His Highness Tilly and Ms. Camila," Margery sighed, "If she does not have the ability to communicate directly through consciousness, I am afraid she cannot adapt to the life of a normal person. And Joan has completely forgotten how Speaking, Lord Thunder found several Scholar for her, but the results were not satisfactory. Now she can only say a few words, and she can't even complete a complete conversation. "

Speaking of which, the business woman pauses for a moment, seeming to be a little overwhelmed.

"What's wrong?" Roland could not help asking.

“I do n’t know if it ’s because of the long-term transformation, some parts of her have become different from humans,” Margery bit her lips, “In my understanding of witch, they do n’t use magic power At that time, it should be no different from ordinary people. But Joan couldn't completely return to the way she was before. Her cheeks, neck, arms, and legs had turquoise blue scales, just like those ... sea ghost. "

Roland immediately associated with the long ears of Logia, alas ... It does n’t seem that the scale skin has a style cough cough, no, now is not the time to consider this kind of problem, even the innocuous ears of mad flame Third Princess can be Sandpeople Fearfully, Joan's situation will only be worse.

"Somebody maliciously hurt her?"

"We tried our best to prevent it, but it is inevitable that someone will spread the news." Margery sighed.

"If she wants to re-adapt to Church, she can't avoid contact with others," Thunder's voice is quite helpless. "I can accept her appearance, even in the fjord. After the government, I have scared away three maids and two Scholar. Some people even said that I raised sea ghost in the government, maybe the sea is more suitable for her. "

"If my friend hates life on land, naturally I won't let her stay on the island," the business woman said. "From the process of Joan's contact with others, she doesn't hate this. One change. Although she still spends a few hours a week in the sea, she is also willing to get along with those maids who accept her. Besides, she now prefers to cook before eating raw fish. "

However, this environment is only limited to Roland in the Thunder's mansion, who understood the meaning of the other party, but couldn't think of any good way. Changing ideas is a long process, especially for Joan. Even her problems are more serious than the ordinary witch. The beastly, deformed, or inhuman appearance has been the object of discrimination and exclusion for a long time in history.

"It will always get better," he can only comfort, "Can you let me see her closely?"

If the problem is really serious, it can only be covered first. For example, like Logia's ears, wearing a hat is basically the same as ordinary people.

"Of course," Margery beckoned in the direction of Joan after saying, "Dear, come to me."

But the latter just extended his head and glanced, then hid back.

"Uh ... Your Majesty, sorry, she may not be used to the scene of so many people," Margery said embarrassedly.

"It looks like you scared her," Nightingale clung to her ears and gloated.

Roland glared at the open space next to him, coughing for two channels, "Anyway, she will stay in Neverwinter City for a while anyway, she will get used to it. We will go to the dock first."

...

In order to build a steel sea boat, Roland deliberately demarcated an area of ​​nearly 100 acres in the southwest corner of the shoal, and let the Lotus raise the earth wall around it, forming a barrier to block the line of sight. Not only are there sentry posts at the four corners, but First Army is also garrisoned on the wall, so apart from the construction workers, not many people know what the big ship that brings together the top industrial level of Neverwinter City looks.

When a group of people walked through the earth wall and walked along the zigzag stairs to the bottom of the dock, an uncontrollable exclamation burst into the team.

Everybody is attracted by the behemoth that is displayed in front of them.

This is definitely not an exaggeration.

When you admire the sea boat from below, the first thing you see is that the tall and straight side of the ship is different from the tumbling barque. The freeboard is almost perpendicular to the ground, and the abdomen is extremely flat. Out of the keel of the hull. Under the limited viewing angle of situation, everyone seems to be standing under a towering steel wall, and their oppression can be imagined.

"Oh Three Gods ... I didn't dream?"

"How heavy can it be? I'm afraid more than 20,000 tons."

"Even if it is the largest three-masted ship, it is probably impossible to prevent it from colliding!"

"Don't talk about the sailboat, I think the monsters in the deep sea will be frightened when they see it!"

"Thunder ... No, Lord Asuka, you didn't say we were playing with it, such a monster!"

The team suddenly lost order. The sailors rushed to the side of the boat, stroking and knocking on the hull of the boat. Their excitement was beyond words.

They are the most experienced ship operators in the fjord. Even if they haven't seen a similar ship, they realize its extraordinary.

Thunder is not less shocked than others at this moment, or more intense.

Because the letter of Roland mentioned that the ship was made of steel from top to bottom, and he thought it was an exaggeration. After all, even a regular wooden boat, it would only use the best wood. Used in critical areas. Therefore, when soliciting his men, he only described the ship as a sailless ocean-going ship with a steel skeleton that was strong enough to resist the Sea Line huge waves.

The facts at hand tell him that is not the case.

Although he knows that Neverwinter City is quite skilled in shipbuilding technology, he did not expect to exaggerate to this extent. Not to mention how to join the hard steel together, the raw materials used in it are not the same as the fjord islands.

How valuable is steel?

In all kinds of products, iron ore is not a luxury product. A palm-sized pig iron ingot can sell about 30-40 silver royal. However, if it is forged into steel, the price will increase ten to dozens of times, so that Knight often regard their armor as heirloom and inherit it from generation to generation.

More importantly, this process is extremely time-consuming. A blacksmith can only play 7-8 sets of qualified steel armor throughout his life. In other words, even if all the blacksmiths of the whole fjord are summoned, and it takes decades of effort, it is impossible to gather so much steel.

In the beginning, he ordered from Roland, but it was only a steam Stream Ship. According to the price heard by the Fiordland Chamber of Commerce, it was about three or four thousand gold royal. Therefore, when the other party told him to charge only cost, he didn't care too much, because the value of a new route alone far exceeded the ship's cost. Since King of Greycastle wants to share information, this transaction cannot be said to take advantage of the other party.

Even after he plans to complete the Sea Line expedition, he will pay all the cost of the ship to Roland. For nothing else, it will be the other party's compensation for taking care of his daughter. I just hope that Lightning will be better in Neverwinter .

But at this moment Thunder can't help but wonder, even if only the cost of materials is considered, the price of this ship is probably an astonishing figure.

He could not help but sweat for his money bag.
