Release that Witch - Chapter 970

[Chapter 954 The New Giant Wheel]

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

“Thanks to the help of Her Highness Tilly and Ms. Camilla,” Margery replied with a sigh, “If she didn’t have the ability to communicate directly with her consciousness, she might not be able to adapt to a normal life now. And Joan has completely forgotten about it.” How to speak, Master Lei Ting found several bachelors for her, but the results were not satisfactory, and now she can only speak a few words, and can’t even have a complete conversation.”

Having said that, the businesswoman paused for a moment, as if she hesitated to speak.

“What’s wrong?” Roland couldn’t help asking.

“I don’t know if it’s because of the long-term transformation that some parts of her have become different from human beings,” Margaret bit her lips, “Based on my understanding of witches, they don’t use magic. At that time, it should be no different from ordinary people. But Joan couldn’t completely return to her previous appearance, her cheeks, neck, arms and legs had blue scales, just like those… sea ghosts.”

Roland immediately thought of Lorgar’s long ears, um… the scaly skin seems to have a different style – ahem, no, now is not the time to think about such issues, even the harmless ears of the third princess Mad Flame can Being feared by the sand people, Joan’s situation will only get worse.

“Someone maliciously hurt her?”

“We tried our best to prevent it, but it is inevitable that someone will spread the news.” Margaery sighed.

“If you want to teach her to adapt to human life again, you can’t avoid contact with others.” Lei Ting’s voice was also quite helpless. “Even in the fjords, there are very few people who can accept her like this—since she was brought to the government At the back of the house, three maids and two bachelors have been scared away. There are even rumors that I raised sea ghosts in the mansion, maybe the sea is more suitable for her.”

“If my friend hated life on land, I wouldn’t force her to stay on the island,” the businesswoman continued, “but judging from Joan’s contact with other people, she doesn’t hate this change. Although she still spends a few hours a week soaking in the sea, she is also happy to get along with the maids who accept her, and she prefers to eat cooked fish instead of raw fish before.”

However, this kind of environment was only limited to Lei Ting’s mansion – Roland understood what the other party meant, but couldn’t think of a good way for a while.

Changing perceptions is a long process, especially for Joan.

Even her problems are more serious than ordinary witches. Bestiality, deformity, or inhuman appearance have been the objects of discrimination and exclusion for a long time in history.

“It will always get better slowly,” he could only comfort, “Can you let me have a closer look at her?”

If the problem is really serious, it can only be covered up first—for example, like Lorgar’s ears, wearing a hat is basically the same as ordinary people.

“Of course.” After speaking, Margaery waved in Joan’s direction, “my dear, come to me.”

But the latter just put his head out for a look, and then hid it back.

“Uh…Your Majesty, I’m sorry, she might not be used to the presence of so many people,” Margaret bowed sheepishly.

“It seems that you scared her,” Nightingale gloated in her ear.

Roland glanced at the open space beside him, coughed twice, and said, “It’s okay, she will stay in Neverwinter for a while anyway, and she will get used to it. Let’s go to the dock first.”

…

In order to build the steel sea-going ship, Roland deliberately marked out an open space of nearly a hundred acres in the southwest corner of the shoal, and asked Lian to raise an earth wall around it, forming a barrier to block sight.

four corners are not only equipped with sentry towers, but also the first army is garrisoned on the wall, so Except for the construction workers, not many people know what this big ship with the top industrial level in Neverwinter City looks like.

When a group of people walked through the earthen wall and walked along the Z-shaped stairs to the bottom of the dock, there was an uncontrollable exclamation in the team.

All of them were completely absorbed by the colossal monster unfolding before them.

This is definitely not an exaggeration.

When admiring a ship from below, the first thing you see is the tall and straight ship’s side – unlike a round three-masted sailing ship, its freeboard is almost vertical to the ground, and its belly is extremely flat, with no protrusions at all The keel portion of the hull.

In the case of limited viewing angles, everyone seems to be standing under a towering steel wall, and the sense of oppression can be imagined.

“The three gods are on top… I’m not dreaming, am I?”

“How heavy can it be? I’m afraid it’s more than 20,000 dan.”

“Even the largest three-masted ship can’t withstand a collision with it!”

“Let’s not talk about the sailboat, I think the giant monsters of the deep sea will be scared and run away when they see it!”

“Thunder… No, Master Asuka, you didn’t say that what we are going to play with is such a monster!”

The team suddenly lost order, and the sailors ran to the side of the ship one after another, touching and beating the hull, their excitement was beyond words.

They are the most experienced sailors in the fjords. Even if they have never seen a similar sea boat, they are aware of its extraordinaryness.

And the shock in Lei Ting’s heart at this moment was no less than that of the others, or in other words, it was even stronger.

Because Roland mentioned in his letter that the ship was made of steel from top to bottom, and he thought it was an exaggeration at the time—after all, even a regular wooden ship would only use the best wood. in key parts.

UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com Therefore, when recruiting his men, he only described the ship as a sailless ocean-going ship with a steel frame that could withstand the huge waves on the sea line.

But the facts in front of him told him that was not the case.

Although he knew that Neverwinter City was quite skilled in shipbuilding technology, he didn’t expect to exaggerate to this extent.

Let alone how to splice the hard steel together, the raw materials used in it alone are beyond the reach of the fjord islands.

How valuable is steel?

Among all kinds of commodities, iron ore is not a luxury item. A palm-sized pig iron ingot can be sold for about thirty or forty silver wolves.

But if it is forged into steel, the price will increase by ten to dozens of times, so that knights often regard their armor as a family heirloom and pass it on from generation to generation.

More importantly, this process is extremely time-consuming. A blacksmith can only produce seven or eight sets of qualified steel armor in his life.

In other words, even if all the blacksmiths in the fjords were called together and it took decades of work, it would be impossible to gather so much steel.

At first, what he ordered from Roland was just a steam paddle steamer. According to the price he heard from the Fiordland Chamber of Commerce, it was only about three to four thousand gold dragons.

Therefore, when the other party told him that only the cost would be charged, he didn’t pay too much attention, because the value of a new route alone far exceeded the cost of the ship itself.

Since the King of Graycastle wants to share information, this deal cannot be said to be taking advantage of the other party.

He even planned to pay all the expenses of the ship to Roland after completing the sea line expedition. It was nothing but a reward for taking care of his daughter. He only hoped that Lightning would have a better life in Neverwinter.

But at this moment, Lei Ting couldn’t help but start to suspect that even if only the material cost was counted, the price of this ship might be an astonishing figure.

He couldn’t help but sweat for his purse.
