Chapter 300: The Witch Building
"Whoa, whoa!"
Maisie fiddles with her wings and tail in the backyard of the newly repaired castle and spun in circles for everyone to admire. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he had already learned what had happened from the witches, Roland was shocked when he first saw the "beast-turned" Maisie.
With a tail of 10 meters and a wingspan of nearly 15 meters, this giant brown bird resembles the fleshy wings of a bat, and the blood vessels and skeleton under the thin skin can be clearly seen in the sunlight. Probably due to its long size, the giant bird has four limbs, the thickness of an adult's arm, and claws at the ends, all of which are used to support the body.
The most striking of the opponent's head, the three eyes in a triangular shape on the top and sides of the head, except for the whole face is a bloody mouth, not the beak common in birds. As Maisie spoke, her mouth opened and closed, revealing a ring of sharp teeth and a long tongue, which made the other witches let out a burst of exclamations.
"Is this the devil's mount?" Ye Zi sighed, "Fortunately, we didn't encounter such a monster in the wilderness, otherwise none of us would have escaped." ”
"If it weren't for her new abilities, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back then," Nightingale said, touching Maisie's smooth neck, "I'll prepare a bag of charcoal-grilled dried fish slices for you every day." ”
"Whew!"
"I know, pour more honey. ”
The giant bird's tail flicked more cheerfully.
Those dried fish are obviously mine, okay, Roland sighed secretly, and took the food from the kitchen to reward others without authorization, don't say it so high-sounding!
"Then follow the old rules and test your new abilities. ”
"Okay!"
......
After a morning of tossing, Roland obtained the detailed abilities of Maisie's version of the beast.
Following the previous zoom convention, her mutated Brown Bird is one lap larger than the original one the Devil rides, and her weight-carrying capacity has been slightly increased, allowing it to lift two witches into the air at once. However, when fully loaded, the flight speed can only be maintained at about 80 kilometers per hour, which is much slower than that of lightning.
However, Maisie's advantage is that it is long-lasting enough, when lightning flies with heavy objects, it will not only reduce the altitude, but also increase the mana consumption, and as long as the giant bird completes the change, whether it flies high or low, it carries one or two, the mana consumption is extremely slow, and the only thing you only need to consider is your own physical strength.
Now Maisie's body has also grown dramatically, from the bottom of the Witch League to the middle level, enough to change seven or eight times in a day.
In addition, Roland also confirmed his previous speculation through Maisie.
A witch's evolution depends on an understanding of her abilities, whether through learning or a sudden epiphany, which can lead to changes in her abilities.
It also means that witches can evolve naturally - if they drag on long enough, one or two lucky ones will come out on top. Compared to the evolved ability and the initial ability, it is completely heaven and earth, and even has the effect of turning decay into magic, is this why the church is trying its best to suppress the wild witch?
After lunch, the Lord's Castle District ushered in a big event.
After nearly four months of construction and renovation, the Witch Mansion finally reached the day of use.
Roland looked at this residential building with only three floors and less than fifty suites, and sighed, in later generations, such a house was at most the level of self-built buildings in the countryside, but here, it was already the representative of the highest level of construction in the continental kingdom - not in scale, but in technology.
It was the first brick-concrete house to use bamboo-reinforced concrete beams and columns.
I remember that when Karl poured the first concrete column, he said to Roland with mixed feelings, "It turns out that cement can be used in this way, mixed with pebbles, and molded into any part of the house...... Your Highness, I think it won't be long before the masonry profession disappears completely. ”
In addition to the beams and columns, the floor slabs of the witch's house are all paved with prefabricated cement slabs, looking at the cement slabs with round holes in the middle, Roland seems to have returned to his childhood—only the post-80s generation has only seen this ancient building material, and by the time he was a teenager, they had been completely replaced by cast-in-place concrete floor slabs, which were completely abandoned by the times.
And in the border towns, this "backward" prefabricated slab has been reborn again.
The Witch's House is located on the left side of the castle, forming an "L" shape with the castle, and the open space enclosed by the two buildings is three or four times larger than before, even after the expansion of the large garden, which is enough for the improvement of various crops and fruits.
Evelyn, who moved into her new house, was a little uneasy.
It's been a month since she came to Frontier Town, and she doesn't seem to have done anything else except to taste wine for His Highness. The last time I took the exam, I was also at the bottom of the witches, and I only scored five points...... Although the book teacher did not announce the results in public, this kind of thing can be guessed by asking in private.
Even the honey that talks to the birds all day gets seven points!
She suddenly felt like she was no different from a fool.
Even so, His Royal Highness didn't treat her any differently, and still asked her from time to time to chat about the special drinks in various places, and then tasted the newly made hot liquor, and at the end of last month, he even received a golden dragon's salary. This added to her sense of unease—compared to the other four, it was as if she was eating for nothing.
"There's a kitchen next to the living room that's dedicated to cooking, and a strange little room painted white, come and see," Candleflame said excitedly, pushing open the bedroom door.
"Hmm......," Evelyn replied feebly.
"What's wrong, it's uncomfortable?" Candle Flame was stunned, squatting down to cover her forehead, "It's not hot." Then she laughed, "Are the Mutual Aid sisters who don't want to sleep in the same bed?"
Evelyn was silent for a moment before whispering, "We've been here for over a month, haven't we?"
"Almost. ”
"The construction of the new city wall that Lian is in charge of will soon be completed, Honey has trained a large number of flying messengers for His Highness, and Sylvie has accompanied His Highness to scout those terrible monsters," she said in frustration, "It's just me, I still have nothing to do, I don't even have the usual training content arranged, and the assessment results are still the worst...... I really don't know why His Highness chose me here. ”
"Well," Candleflame pondered for a moment, "or you should ask him yourself." ”
"Huh?"
"His Royal Highness Roland is the elder brother of Master Tiri, and you can also see that he treats witches sincerely, even Sylvie, who usually keeps away from Roland and beware of the prince, has changed his tone, and he couldn't help but praise him twice yesterday," Candlelight shrugged, "You ask Your Highness in person, he can't eat you, right?"
Does that seem to make some sense.
Evelyn thought about it, and in order not to be bothered by this torment again, she decided to do what Candleflame said. (To be continued.) )
