Release that Witch

954. Chapter 954 New Giant Wheel

    “She is now able to go ashore…”Roland is very excited. “I remember you said that she chose not to be in contact with humans for a long time after she chose to be in the sea.”

    “Thanks to the help of His Royal Highness Tilly and Ms. Camila,” Margery sighed back. “If I don’t have the ability to communicate directly with consciousness, I’m afraid she can’t adapt to normal life now. And Joan has completely forgotten how to talk. Thunder has found several Scholars for her, but the results are not satisfactory. Now she can only say a few words, even a complete conversation can’t be done. ”

    Having said that, the businesswoman paused for a moment and seemed to have some words to stop.

    “What happened?”Roland asked inexplicably.

    “I don’t know if some of her parts have become different from humans because of the long-term transformation,” Margery bit his lip. “In my understanding of witch, they don’t use magic power.” It should be no different from ordinary people. But Joan couldn’t go back to her previous appearance. She had blue-blue scales on her cheeks, neck, arms and legs, just like those of … sea ghost. ”

    Roland immediately thought of Logia’s long ears, hehe…The scales of the skin seem to have a different style – cough cough, no, now is not the time to consider this problem, even the fear of the animal, the ears that are harmless to humans and animals can be tabooed by Sandpeople, Joan’s situation is estimated to be worse .

    “Someone maliciously hurt her?”

    “We tried to prevent it, but it is inevitable that some people will spread the news.”Margery sighed.

    “If you want Church to re-adapt to human life, you can’t avoid contact with others,” Thunder’s voice is quite helpless. “I can accept her, even in the fjord.” After that, I have scared off three maids, two Scholars. Someone even said that I had a sea ghost in the house, maybe the sea is more suitable for her. ”

    “If my friend hates life on land, I wouldn’t let her barely stay on the island,” the businesswoman said. “From the process of Joan’s contact with others, she doesn’t hate this change. Although she still spends a few hours a week in the sea, she is also happy to get along with the maids who accept her, and she now prefers to roast and eat more than the raw fish. ”

    However, such an environment is limited to Thunder’s house – Roland understands the other side’s meaning, but can’t think of any good way. Changing the mindset is a long process, especially for Joan. Even her problem is more serious than the usual witch. The animalization, deformity, or inhuman appearance has been the object of discrimination and rejection for a long time in history.

    “It’s always getting better,” he can only comfort. “Can you let me see her look up close?”

    If the problem is really serious, then it can only be masked first—for example, like Logia’s ear, wearing a hat is basically the same as ordinary people.

    “Of course,” Margery waved in the direction of Joan. “Dear, come to me.”

    But the latter just took a look at the head and then hid it back.

    UhYour Majesty, sorry, she may not be used to the scenes of so many people,” Margery said with embarrassment.

    “It seems that you are scared of her,” Nightingale sighed in the ear.

    Roland glanced at the open space next to him and coughed two channels. “No problem, anyway, she has to stay in Neverwinter City for a while, always getting used to it.” Let’s go to the dock first. ”

……

    In order to build a steel ship, Roland deliberately laid out a nearly 100-acre open space in the southwest corner of the shoal, and allowed the lotus to raise the earthen wall around it, forming a barrier to block the line of sight. Not only the four corners are equipped with a sentinel, but the First Army is also stationed on the wall. Therefore, apart from the construction workers, not many people know what it is like to gather the top industrial level of Neverwinter City.

    When a group of people walked through the earth wall and walked down the zigzag stairs into the dock, there was a burst of unstoppable exclamation in the team.

    Everyone was shown in front of them by the giants that attracted the full attention.

    This is definitely not an exaggeration.

    When you look at the sea boat from below, the first thing you can see is the tall and straight ship’s side – unlike the round three-masted sailboat, its freeboard is almost perpendicular to the ground, and the abdomen is flat and flat. The keel part of the hull. Under the limited viewing angle, everyone seems to stand under a sturdy steel wall, and the pressure can be imagined.

    “Oh Three Gods…I have no dreams? ”

    “Can it have multiple? I am afraid that 20,000 is not enough. ”

    “Even if it is the biggest three-masted ship, it is estimated that it can’t afford it!”

    “Don’t talk about sailing, I think the deep sea behemoth will see it and will be scared to escape!”

    “Thunder…No, Birds, you can’t say that we have to play with, it’s such a monster! ”

    The team suddenly lost order, and the sailors ran to the side of the boat, stroking and knocking on the hull, and their excitement was overwhelming.

    They are the most experienced sailors in the fjord, and even if they have not seen a similar sea boat, they are aware of its extraordinary.

    And Thunder’s shock at the moment is no less than other people, or more intense.

    Because Roland’s letter mentioned that the ship was entirely made of steel from top to bottom, and he thought it was an exaggeration—after all, even a regular wooden boat would only use the best wood. In key parts. Therefore, when recruiting, he only described the ship as a sailless oceangoing ship with a steel skeleton and enough to fight the Sea Line.

    The facts before him tell him that this is not the case.

    Although he knew that Neverwinter City had a good hand in shipbuilding technology, he did not expect to exaggerate to this extent. Not to mention how to splicing hard steel together, just the raw materials it uses, it is not possible for the fjord islands.

    How expensive is steel?

    Among all kinds of goods, iron ore is not a luxury, a palm-sized pig iron ingot, can sell about 30-40 silver royal. But if it is forged into steel, the price will be turned up to ten times to dozens of times, so that Knights often regard their armor as a heirloom and inherit it from generation to generation.

    More critically, this process is extremely time consuming, and a blacksmith can only produce seven or eight sets of qualified steel armor for the rest of his life. In other words, even if all the blacksmiths in the whole fjord are summoned and spent decades of effort, it is impossible to make so much steel.

    The first thing he ordered from Roland was a steam Stream Ship, which was priced at three or four thousand gold royals according to the price heard by the Fiord Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, when the other party informed that only the cost cost was received, he did not care too much, because the value of a new route is far more than the cost of the ship itself. Since King of Greycastle wants to share intelligence, the deal cannot be said to be cheaper.

    Even after he planned to complete the Sea Line expedition, he would pay all the expenses of the vessel to Roland. If nothing else, it would be the reward of the other party to take care of the daughter. I only hope that Lightning will be better at Neverwinter in the future.

    But at this moment Thunder can’t help but wonder if the price of the ship would be an amazing number even if it only costs the material.

    He couldn’t help but squeeze his sweat for his money bag.
