Release that Witch

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

“Thanks to the help of His Royal Highness and Ms. Camilla,” Margaret 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 adults have found several bachelors for her, but the results are not ideal, and now she can only say a small number of words, even a complete conversation can not be done."

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

"What's wrong?" Roland asked.

"I don't know if it's because of the long-term transformation, some parts of her have become different from humans," Margaret bit his lip. "With my understanding of witches, they don't use magic." At the same time, it should be no different from ordinary people. But Joan could not completely return to the previous appearance. Her cheeks, neck, arms and legs were all blue-blue scales, just like those of the sea ghosts."

Roland immediately thought of Luo Jia’s long ears, hehe... The scales of the skin didn’t seem to have a style. Cough, no, now is not the time to consider this problem, even the mad flame three princesses can harm the human and animal ears can be sand The people are jealous, and Joan’s situation is only worse.

"Someone maliciously hurt her?"

"We tried to prevent it, but it is still inevitable that someone will spread the news." Margaret sighed.

"If I want to teach her to adapt to human life, she can't avoid contact with others." Thunder's voice is also quite helpless. "I can accept her, even in the fjord, since she got her from the house." I have already scared away three maids, two bachelors. Someone even said that I have raised a sea ghost in the house, maybe the sea is more suitable for her."

"If my friend hates life on land, I naturally won't let her 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 happy to get along with the maids who accept her, and she prefers to eat and eat more than the raw fish before."

However, such an environment is limited to the Thunder's mansion, and Roland understands the meaning of the other party, but at the moment he can't think of any good way. Changing the mindset is a long process, especially for Joan. Even her problems are more serious than the vulva, and 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 Luo Jia’s ear, wearing a hat is basically the same as ordinary people.

"Of course," said Margaret in the direction of Joan, waving. "Dear, come to me."

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

"Oh... Your Majesty, sorry, she may not be used to the scenes of so many people," Margaret said embarrassedly.

"It seems that you scared her," the nightingale was stunned in the ear.

Roland glanced at the open space beside him, coughing two channels. "No problem, anyway, she has to stay in the winter city for a while, always get used to it. Let's go to the dock first."

......

In order to build a steel ship, Roland specifically designed 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 sentinels, but also the first army is stationed on the wall. Therefore, apart from the construction workers, not many people know what it is like to gather the big ships without the top industrial level of the winter city.

When a group of people walked through the earth wall and walked down the z-shaped 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 that the tall and straight ship's side is different from the round three-masted sailboat. Its freeboard is almost perpendicular to the ground, and the abdomen is flat. It can't find the hull. The keel part. In the case of limited viewing angles, everyone seems to stand under a sturdy steel wall, and the sense of oppression can be imagined.

"The three gods are on... I have no dreams?"

"Can it have multiple? Twenty thousand tens of thousands of people are afraid."

"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 didn't say we have to play with it, 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.

The thunder of the Thunder is not much less than others at the moment, or more intense.

Because Roland’s letter mentioned that the ship was all cast from 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 the key. Part. Therefore, when recruiting his men, he only described the ship as a sailless oceangoing ship with a steel skeleton and enough to resist the huge waves of the sea.

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

Although he knew that Winter City had a good hand in shipbuilding technology, he did not expect to be able 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 commodities, iron ore is not a luxury item. A palm-sized pig iron ingot can sell about thirty or forty silver wolves. But if it is forged into steel, the price will be turned up to ten times to dozens of times, so that the 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.

At first, he ordered from Roland, but it was a steam paddle boat. According to the price heard by the Fiord Chamber of Commerce, it was about three or four thousand Jinlong. Therefore, when the other party informed that only the cost was charged, he did not care too much, because the value of a new route is far more than the cost of the ship itself. Since the king of the Grey Fortress wants to share information, the deal cannot be said to be cheaper.

Even after he planned to complete the expedition of the sea line, he would pay all the expenses of the ship to Roland. If nothing else, it would be the remuneration of the other party to take care of his daughter. He only hoped that the lightning would be better in the winter without winter.

But at this moment, Thunder can't help but start to doubt that even if it is only the cost of materials, the price of this ship is probably an amazing number.

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