Two days after the ashes of the ...

After asking why, her return was warmly welcomed, and the Witch Alliance added a new member.

She was greatly moved by the welcome banquet held in the back garden of the castle, with long iron shelves, covered with all kinds of meat, and could be taken down for barbecue.The seasoning is also very rich, with salt, oil, chili, pepper, and Roland's own barbecue sauce - with mushrooms from the hidden forest and the whole chicken with the soup, and then add salt, sugar and wheat flour to stir, can make up for the lack of MSG regret.Macy almost ate her stomach before she stopped.

In the afternoon, Roland tested her abilities.

According to the Nightingale, her total magic was of a medium level in the witch, and her ability was to change into various birds—provided she had seen it.When changing, the magic consumption is quite large, it can change 4-5 times a day, and it takes very little magic to maintain the deformation state, which is a summoning ability and is affected by the stone of divine punishment.Her favorite bird is a dove, but Roland noticed that no matter what kind of bird she turns into, she will be much bigger.For example, a sparrow, in his opinion, is comparable to an ordinary pigeon.As for the real dove, it is almost the size of the sea eagle.

He regretted that mp; nb Macy's could not be a fantasy flying beast, such as Roland's paintings of phoenixes, griffins and porceles.

In addition, there is something in the Ash plan that deserves his attention, that is, what are the abilities of the many witches whom Tilly summoned?If there were aided witches who could greatly improve the efficiency of the fields, he wouldn’t mind exchanging technology for them.

To this end, Roland decided to write a long letter to Tiley, first expounding the natural alliance between the two sides, then warning her the church's intention to unify the continent, and finally handing out an olive branch, expressing the desire to help and cooperate and make progress together.When Maisie goes to the fjord next month, let her take it with her.

The next day, the prince received another good news.

The plant used to produce the steam engine has finally been completed.The plant is located on the other side of the Redwater River, on the west side, next to the test field of the leaves.The entire plot of land has been fenced by a wooden fence, and a simple road to the pontoon bridge has been leveled.In Roland's plan, this place will be an industrial park for the town.

& nmb Due to the maximum expansion of the building space, the plant is built of light weighted wood, covering an area of about a thousand square meters, and the machine tools built by Anna have been transported in, namely, two steam boring machines, two manual milling machines, a manual grinder and a manual lathe.Although these machine tools are simple in principle, the work is first-class - in addition to the base or pedal and the like is wood, the other components are cut from cooked iron or steel, it can be said that at the level of existing materials, the highest precision processing has been achieved.

The current factory workers in the plant are only a few poor dozen, who were originally blacksmiths and apprentices in small town blacksmith shops, and are now recruited by Roland for a high monthly salary of 50 silver wolves to learn how to operate high-end machine tools.And their iron tools and blacksmith shop have also moved into a brick room outside the factory building, in addition to creating some unimportant parts, the production of the steam engine will be all completed by the machine tool.

& nb Roland held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the factory gate, and in order to strengthen his voice, he recruited a director of the city hall and gave a short speech.In the sound of the salutary gun simulation, the Grey Fort Industrial Company was officially established.

In the next few days, Roland, the company's leader, ran to the factory as soon as he was free to demonstrate the operation of the machine tool and the manufacturing process of the steam engine.In order for the blind blacksmith to master how to process and assemble a steam engine, the best way he can think of is to illustrate the flowchart, similar to the model assembly manual, the part name, number, size one by one, and then their installation order and connection method are depicted in the form of the diagram.In this regard, Sorrowa helped him a lot.

In the first few days of production, as he had expected, almost none of the parts met the requirements, let alone a complete steam engine.But Roland did not care about the scrap rate, and in Anna's hands, these scraps could be recast as a new plate between the blinks.He believes that after repeated practice, these blacksmiths will master the production methods of the new era sooner or later.

In addition to the industrial plant, the prince transformed the firing room of the North Slope mine, together with the backyard, into a military factory, mainly for the production of wheel rifles and bullets - after the arrival of the "furnail expert" Losa, the new batch of airbags with the temperature of the drum air bag has been greatly improved, and the cement powder can be fired independently, and there is no need for the firing room.

The production of revolver guns and bullets is still being completed by Anna, and Roland is designing a steam press for stamping bullets, although not as efficient as Anna's cutting and forming, but at least she can reduce her burden.

To thank Anna for her nearly half-month busyness, he decided to give her a gift.

& amp; nb************************************************************************

& mp;nb "gift?"Anna put down the cut parts in her hand, and slid the hair to the front of her forehead, showing a bright smile, "Okay."

“Don’t you ask me any gifts?”Roland teased her.

& nb " um..." she thought for a moment, "I like the gift you gave."

After more than half a year of rehabilitation, Anna can not find a trace of the first time in the dungeon, she is thin and weak, she has now become a jade, blue eyes full of beauty, a plain dress looks refreshing, the whole body is full of youthful vitality.

&nB This is what an eighteen-year-old girl should look like.

&&nnb saw the other side of the mouth, Roland's mood also became a lot of pleasure.

& bnb "gift" was placed in the castle courtyard, in order to surprise Anna, covered with layers of linen - in the production of ash messenger, he had the idea in his mind.Since it was a prince, of course, the gift had to be special, and the finished product such as jewelry seemed too sincere, and he thought for a long time before he thought of the idea.

& nb Roland uncovers the linen cloth, and a rattan basket appears in front of the two men, with many linens connected to the top of the basket, and the other end of the linen is a huge canvas.

& nnb “What is this...?”Anna stepped forward and turned around it, curious.

& mp; nb “hot air balloons.”He replied with a smile, "It will take you up to the sky and look down on the earth like a bird."

& mp; nb "Flying to Heaven?"She looked back, her eyes gleaming with excitement, “Really?”

From gliding wings to hot air balloons, from airships to airplanes, people have made great sacrifices in groping and challenges and have never given up on their pursuits.Although there are witches in this world, flying is still the right of a minority.The view from the high-altitude view is bound to leave a deep impression.

"Of course, just let the hot air fill the airbag."

&nb Roland asked the Nightingale to find lightning and Maisie as emergency personnel, and in the event of an accident, the lightning and Maissie, which became a large eagle, would at least protect both of them from landing safely.As for the other witches, he decided that he would not be well for the time being, especially Wendy and the books, and would certainly oppose any of his adventures—they could not make the slightest mistake in their eyes.(Unfinished.)
