"Ow, ooh!"
Maisie fiddled with her wings and tail in the backyard of the newly built castle, circling it for everyone to admire.
Although he had already learned what happened from the witches, when Roland first saw Maisie who was "evil beast", he was truly shocked.
This brown-skinned giant bird is ten meters long and has a wingspan of nearly fifteen meters. It is similar to the fleshy wings of a bat. It can clearly see the blood vessels and skeleton under the thin skin when facing the sunlight. Probably because the body is too long, the giant bird has four limbs, the thickness is similar to that of an adult arm, and the ends have claws, which are used to support the body.
The most striking opponent's head has three eyes distributed in a triangle on the top and sides of the head, and the entire face is full of bloody mouths, rather than the common beaks of birds. When Maisie opened her mouth to speak, her mouth opened and closed, revealing a circle of sharp teeth and a long tongue, and the other witches let out bursts of exclamations.
"Is this the devil's mount?" Ye Zi sighed, "Fortunately, we didn't encounter such a monster in the wilderness, otherwise we wouldn't be able to escape alone."
"If it wasn't for her evolving new abilities, I probably wouldn't be able to come back at that time," Nightingale said as she touched Maisie's smooth neck, "I will prepare a bag of charcoal-grilled dried fish every day for you."
"Ow!"
"I know, I need to pour more honey."
The giant bird's tail fluttered more cheerfully.
Those dried fish are obviously mine, right? Roland sighed secretly, and took the food from the kitchen to reward others without authorization. Don't say it in such a high-sounding manner!
"Then follow the old rules and test your new abilities."
"Okay!"
…
After a morning of tossing, Roland got the detailed abilities of Maisie's version of the alien beast.
Following the previous zoom-in routine, the brown-skinned giant bird she transformed was a circle larger than the original version ridden by the devil, and its load-bearing capacity was slightly improved, and it could carry two witches into the air at the same time. However, when fully loaded, the flight speed can only be maintained at about 80 kilometers per hour, which is much slower than lightning.
However, the advantage of Maisie is that it is durable enough. When the lightning carries heavy objects, it will not only reduce the height, but also increase the consumption of magic power. As long as the change of the giant bird is completed, whether it is flying high or flying low, carrying one or two, the magic power is consumed. Both are extremely slow, and the only thing you need to consider is your own physical strength.
Now, the magic power contained in Maisie's body has also grown significantly, jumping from the bottom of the Witch League to a medium level, which is enough to change seven or eight times a day.
In addition, Roland also confirmed his previous speculation through Maisie.
The evolution of witches depends on the understanding of their own abilities, whether this understanding is mastered through learning or sudden epiphany, it is possible to cause changes in abilities.
This also means that if witches have the possibility of natural evolution, as long as the time drags on, there will always be one or two lucky ones among them. Compared with the original ability, the evolved ability is completely heaven and earth, and even has the effect of turning corruption into a magical effect. Could this be the reason why the church is trying to suppress the wild witch
After lunch, there was a big event in the lord castle area.
After nearly four months of construction and decoration, the Witch's Building is finally ready for use.
Roland looked at this residential building with only three floors and less than 50 suites in awe. In the future, a house like this would be considered as a self-built building in the countryside, but here, it is already the highest building level in the mainland kingdom. The representation is not of scale, but of technology.
It is the first brick-concrete structure house to use bamboo-reinforced concrete beams and columns.
I remember Karl once said to Roland with mixed feelings when he poured the first concrete column, “It turns out that cement can still be used in this way. Parts... Your Highness, I think it won't be long before the line of masons may completely disappear from masonry."
Except for the beams and columns, the floors of the Witch's Building are all made of prefabricated cement boards. Looking at the cement boards with round holes in the middle, Roland seems to have returned to his childhood. Building materials, by their teens, they had been completely replaced by cast-in-place concrete slabs, completely abandoned by the times.
In Frontier Town, this "backward" prefabricated panel has been given a new lease of life.
The Witch House is located on the left side of the castle, and it forms an "L" shape with the castle. Even if the large garden is expanded, the area of the open space wrapped by the two buildings is three or four times larger than before, enough to improve various crops and fruits. used.
*****************
Evelyn, who moved into the new house, was a little apprehensive.
It's been a month since she came to Border Town, and she seems to have never done anything other than tasting wine for His Highness. The last exam was also the bottom of the witches, with only five points... Although Teacher Shuju didn't announce the results in public, this kind of thing can be guessed just by asking in private.
Even Honey, who talks to the birds all day, gets a seven!
She suddenly felt that she was no different from an idiot.
Even so, His Royal Highness did not mean to treat her differently, and still asked her to chat about the special drinks from various places from time to time, and then often tasted the newly-made hot liquor, and even received a golden dragon salary at the end of last month. This aggravated her uneasiness. Compared with the other four, she seemed to be eating and living for nothing.
"Beside the living room, there is a kitchen specially used for cooking, and there is a strange small room painted in white, come and see," Candlelight said excitedly as he pushed open the bedroom door.
"Um..." Evelyn responded weakly.
"What's the matter, uncomfortable?" Candlelight was stunned, squatted down and covered her forehead, "It's not hot." Then she laughed, "Could it be the sisters of the mutual aid society who are reluctant to sleep on 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 in charge of Lian will soon be completed. Honey has trained a lot of flying messengers for His Highness, and Sylvie even accompanied His Highness to detect those terrifying monsters," she said in frustration, "Only me, There is still nothing to do, even the usual training content is not arranged, and the assessment results are still the worst... I really don't know why Your Highness chose me to come here."
"Well," Candle Huo thought for a while, "or else, you can ask him yourself."
"what?"
"His Royal Highness Roland is Lord Tilly's older brother, and as you can see, he really treats witches with sincerity. Even Sylvie, who always keeps away from Roland and keeps his mouth shut about the prince, has changed his tone. Yesterday I couldn't help but praise him," Candlelight shrugged, "If you ask His Highness in person, he can't possibly eat you, right?"
Yeah? This seems to make sense.
Evelyn thought for a while, in order to no longer be troubled by this torment, she decided to do as Candlelight said. (., Your support is my biggest motivation.)
