Chapter 300 Witch Building

"Aw, ow!"

Maisie fiddled with her wings and tail in the backyard of the newly repaired castle, and twirled them for everyone to admire.

Although he had already learned what happened from the witches, when Roland saw the "evil beast" Maggie for the first time, he was still genuinely shocked.

This giant brown-skinned bird was ten meters long including its tail, and its wingspan was close to fifteen meters. It was similar to the fleshy wings of a bat. The blood vessels and skeleton under the thin skin could be clearly seen in the sunlight. Probably because the body is too long, the giant bird has four limbs, which are similar in thickness to an adult's arm, and have claws at the end, all of which are used to support the body.

The head of the most eye-catching opponent—the three eyes are distributed on the top and sides of the head in a triangular shape. Besides, the whole face is full of bloody mouths, not the common beaks of birds. When Maggie opened her mouth to speak, she opened and closed her mouth, revealing a circle of sharp teeth and a long tongue, causing the other witches to cry out in surprise.

"Is this the devil's mount?" Ye Zi sighed, "Fortunately, we didn't encounter such a monster in the wilderness, otherwise no one would be able to escape."

"If she hadn't developed a new ability, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back then," Nightingale touched Maggie's smooth neck and said, "I will prepare a bag of charcoal-grilled dried fish slices for you every day."

"Aw—!"

"I know, I need to pour more honey."

The giant bird's tail flicked more cheerfully.

Those dried fish are obviously mine, okay? Roland sighed secretly, taking the food from the kitchen to reward others without authorization, don't say it so grandiosely!

"Then follow the old rules and test your new abilities."

"Okay!"

...

After a whole morning of tossing, Roland got the detailed abilities of Maggie's version of the beast.

Following the previous magnification practice, the giant brown-skinned bird she transformed is a circle larger than the original version of the devil's ride, and the load-bearing capacity has also been slightly improved. It can carry two witches into the air at the same time. However, under full load, the flying speed can only be maintained at about 80 kilometers per hour, which is much slower than Lightning.

However, the advantage of Maggie is that it is durable enough. Lightning will not only reduce the height when flying with heavy objects, but also increase the mana consumption. As long as the giant bird changes, no matter whether it is flying high or low, carrying one or two, it will consume mana. They are all extremely slow, and the only thing to consider is your own physical strength.

Now the magic power contained in Maggie's body has also increased significantly, jumping from the bottom of the Witch Union to the middle level, enough to change seven or eight times in a day.

In addition, Roland also confirmed his previous speculation through Maggie.

The evolution of a witch depends on the understanding of its own abilities. Whether this understanding is mastered through learning or a sudden epiphany, it may cause changes in abilities.

This also means that witches have the possibility of natural evolution - as long as the time is long enough, one or two lucky ones will emerge among them. Compared with the initial ability, the evolved ability is completely heaven and earth, and even has the effect of turning decay into magic. Is this the reason why the church is going all out to suppress wild witches?

After lunch, a big event ushered in the lord's castle area.

After nearly four months of construction and decoration, the Witch House finally came to be put into use.

Looking at this residential building with only three floors and less than 50 suites, Roland sighed in admiration. In later generations, a house like this could be regarded as the level of self-built buildings in the countryside, but here, it is already the highest level of construction in the mainland kingdom. The representative - not in size, but in technology.

It is the first brick-concrete structure house using bamboo-reinforced concrete beams and columns.

I remember that when Carl poured the first concrete column, he said to Roland with mixed feelings, "It turns out that cement can still be used in this way. When mixed with pebbles, it can be molded into various shapes as you like, and any part of the house can be formed." Location...Your Highness, I think it won't be long before the trade of stonemasons may completely disappear from masonry."

Except for the beams and columns, the floors of the Witch Building are all made of prefabricated cement slabs. Looking at the cement slabs with round holes in the middle, Roland seemed to have returned to his childhood—only those born in the 1980s had seen this kind of concrete slabs. Ancient building materials, by the time they were more than ten years old, they had been completely replaced by cast-in-place concrete slabs, completely abandoned by the times.

But in Border Town, this "backward" prefabricated panel has gained new life again.

The Witch House is located on the left side of the castle, forming an "L" shape with the castle. The open space wrapped by the two buildings, even after the expansion of the large garden, is three or four times larger than before, enough for the leaves to improve various crops and fruits. Use it.

*******************

Evelyn, who moved into the new house, was a little uneasy.

It has been a month since she came to Border Town, and she seems to have done nothing other than tasting wine for His Highness. In the last exam, she was also at the bottom among the witches, and only scored five points... Although Teacher Shujuan did not announce the results in public, this kind of thing can be guessed as long as one inquires in private.

Even Honey, who talks to birds all day, gets a seven!

She suddenly felt that she was no different from a fool.

Even so, His Highness didn't mean to treat her any differently. He still went to chat with her from time to time about special drinks from various places, and tasted the new hot liquor. At the end of last month, he even received a golden dragon salary. This aggravated her sense of uneasiness—compared to the other four, she seemed to be eating and living for free.

"Beside the living room, there is a kitchen specially used for cooking, and there is also a strange small room painted in white. Come and take a look," Candle said excitedly, pushing open the bedroom door.

"Hmm..." Evelyn replied weakly.

"What's the matter, uncomfortable?" Candle was stunned, squatting down and covering her forehead, "It's not hot." Then she laughed, "Could it be the sisters of the Aid Society who are reluctant to sleep on the same bed?"

Evelyn was silent for a moment before whispering, "Have we been here for more than a month?" "

"almost."

"The construction of the new city wall that Lian is in charge of will be completed soon. Honey has trained a lot of flying messengers for His Highness, and Sylvie even accompanied His Highness to investigate those terrifying monsters," she said dejectedly, "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 His Highness chose me to come here.”

"Well," Candle thought for a while, "Why don't you ask him yourself."

"ah?"

"His Royal Highness Roland is Lord Tilly's elder brother, and as you have seen, he treats witches with sincerity. Even Sylvie, who always said "stay away from Roland and beware of princes", has changed his tune. , I couldn't help but praise him yesterday." Candlelight shrugged, "You ask His Highness in person, it is impossible for him to eat you, right? "

Yeah? It seems reasonable to say so.

Evelyn thought about it, and in order not to be troubled by this torment, she decided to do what the candle said.
