"What is this?" Andrea asked, chewing on the dried fish.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Graycastle was tossing with novelty again. He saw that he spliced pieces of copper pipes together, and then let Anna melt the joints, and then Soraya wrapped a layer of soft magic creation. At first glance, it looks like those water pipes installed in the bathroom, but the volume is much larger, each of which is close to the thickness of his thighs. If you don't rely on hummingbirds to lose weight, a person can't carry them at all.
And the copper pipes are not only in one or two rooms, but run through the entire castle and the witch's building horizontally. They enter from the corner of the room, connect to a strange metal louver along the bottom of the wall, and then pass through to the next room. , it will be connected to the longitudinal pipe only after the end.
This huge project has attracted many witches to watch, whether it is Sleeping Island or the Witch Union, they have shown great curiosity about it.
"Guess all of you?" he smiled mysteriously. "If you guess right, add an extra ice cream bread to dinner."
Andrea suddenly became interested, ice cream bread! That is the most magical food here. Two pieces of baked bread with a layer of sweet ice cream filling have never heard of it in the Kingdom of Dawn. When she tasted it for the first time, she immediately ate this kind of food. Although she was repeatedly mocked by Ashes, she had to eat it with a blushing face, otherwise it would be a torment just to look at it on a plate.
"Is this going to fill the room with water?" Ash frowned.
Still a short-sighted remark, Andrea pouted in her heart. Copper is not a cheap metal. Since the small pipe in the bathroom can carry water, why should it be so large
However, as soon as she opened her mouth to refute recently, she would be blocked by her who said that the food is original and best to eat, and this was mentioned in front of Lord Tilly, it is really inconvenient to deny it. , I had to pretend that I didn't hear the superficial words of the other party.
"I don't have much knowledge, why do I need such a large pipe to pass water," someone said behind him, "His Royal Highness would not do such a thankless thing."
Incisive! Almost exactly as she thought, Andrea was refreshed, and the one who dared to speak to the extraordinary witch in this tone was not only herself, but also Miss Nightingale from the Witch League. She turned her head and saw that the other party looked at Ashes with disdain, and the angle of her chin was just right.
Nobles should use this expression!
Andrea secretly praised that after she came to Border Town, the witch she was most affectionate with was this elusive woman. The skill Nightingale showed when rescuing the witch of the ruins was indeed extraordinary. He was from the same noble family as himself, and even his hair color was very similar! In several sniping battles against mixed-species evil beasts on the city wall, the other party also recognized his ability, and shared the dried fish with himself, which was quite aristocratic.
Most importantly, she also hates seeing Ashes very much.
Although I don't know how Ashes offended her the first time she came to Border Town, but... the enemy of the enemy is his friend, right? What's more, her personality is so compatible with herself.
"Speak as if you know the answer," Ashes shrugged.
"Of course I know," Nightingale raised the corners of her mouth, "I was always in the office when His Highness drew the design drawings, and I saw all the drawings he drew."
"It's not fair!" Miyue muttered.
"She doesn't take part in the quiz," the prince said, making Nightingale's complacent look stiff. "I'll give you a hint. These pipes are only part of the system. You might as well go to other places to see the answer. It will be easier to guess the answer."
"Goo!" Maisie and Lightning flew out of the room immediately, and the other witches were not far behind, and they all scattered in the direction of the pipeline. Andrea deliberately fell behind everyone, and when they left, she winked at Nightingale and called her out the door.
"What the hell is this?" Andrea asked in a low voice. "If I get it right, you'll have half the bread for dinner."
"I don't know either." Nightingale's answer surprised her for a moment.
"Didn't you say you've seen all the drawings?"
"Yeah, it's like "Theoretical Basis of Natural Science", you know all the words on it, right? But what do you mean by connecting them together?"
"Uh" Andrea opened her mouth, but found that the other party was completely reasonable. She had also read the book herself, and it was indeed no different from the heavenly book.
"If you can understand His Highness's intentions just by looking at the drawings, I am afraid that Anna is the only one in the Witch League who has such abilities," Nightingale suggested. "If you ask her, she will definitely be able to tell you the answer."
When she left, Andrea hesitated again and again, but in the end she didn't speak to call Anna out of the room. Not reserved or embarrassed, but...awe. She has never been afraid of wicked gangsters or ruthless judges, but she feels genuine fear for this girl who is less than twenty years old.
She remembered passing by the Prince's office by chance and hearing Anna talking with His Royal Highness, the content of what she was talking about made her goosebumps goosebumps all over her body. The calculation of the high throw angle, the correction of the trajectory with the parameters of the landing point, and the transformation of kinetic energy in an ideal state, made her stand in place. Why are they both witches, but the other party can speak words that they don't understand so smoothly? From then on, Andrea had a feeling of arrogance towards Anna, feeling that she was not of the same type as herself at all, but on the same level as Lord Tilly.
Since there is no answer, you can only rely on yourself. According to the prince's prompt, Andrea explored room by room and found that in the completed room, the copper pipes were separated by a right-angle iron fence, as if she was afraid that people would touch the pipes. If it's not a savage like Ash, it doesn't matter if the copper pipe touches it, right? Thinking of what Nightingale said, His Highness never does thankless things, it seems that these iron fences obviously have their own purpose.
When she came to the first floor of the witch's building, she made another discovery. There was a bungalow between the castle and the witch's building, and the copper pipes leading to the two buildings were extended from here.
The house is a huge iron box, the lower half of the box is hollow, and there is a huge chimney at the top... It looks like a stove for cooking. And she saw that a pipe was directly connected to the well in the yard, which seemed to be a water supply device for a water tower.
Wait... is this for boiling hot water
But if the pipe is used to transport hot water, there is no need to make it so big
Andrea was puzzled, and couldn't figure it out until the end.
Before dinner, His Royal Highness gathered all the witches in the hall and said with a smile, "From today, the castle heating system is officially activated."
"Heating?" Ash asked suspiciously.
"That's right, after the hot water boils in the boiler, the high-temperature steam enters the room through the pipes and raises the temperature in the room through the radiator. As long as the doors and windows are closed, the whole room can be warmed up quickly," the prince explained. "Compared with the fire bucket, it is not easy to move, and it needs to open the window to dissipate air, otherwise there will be a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. The new heating equipment has no worries at all, and you can also enjoy the spring-like warmth when you sleep. After the commissioning is completed, the residential area will be Such heating equipment will also be gradually popularized.”
"Then next, the winner of the ice cream bread tonight, apart from Anna, Soraya and Hummingbird who participated in the installation of the heating system, there is only one correct guess, and that is Tilly!"
During dinner, Andrea looked at Tilly-sama with a delicious smile, completely forgetting her modesty as a noble.
