Release that Witch

After solving the morning affairs, Roland returned to his residence, a manor in the depths of the camp.

It should have belonged to a wealthy businessman, not only with several two-storey stone houses, but also around the large vestibule backyard. Only the turmoil of Hermes made the original owner unknown, and he also used this as a temporary place to settle.

Walking into the middle of the main house, Anna was sitting at the table and carefully reading the books he had found in the dream world. The sun shone from the window, reflecting her bangs into a beautiful golden yellow, while leaving a light edge on her white face.

"After the meeting is over?" Hearing the noise, she turned her head and asked with a smile.

"Well, everything I have to say is said, Nanawa will have to leave early tomorrow morning."

"First, let's talk about it," Anna got up and took a basin of water, put it on the low stool next to the bed, then leaned over to help him take off his shoes. The leather boots used in the plateau of this era are hard and not very breathable, so every time you go back to the bedroom, the first thing he has to do is to relax his feet and then put on a pair of lightweight soft-soled shoes. At first, Roland insisted on coming, but ultimately failed to resist the other's stubbornness.

"How is the water temperature?" Anna sank the black fire into the water.

"A little hotter... ah, that's just fine." Roland felt his feet surrounded by a warmth and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

More than that, the black fire will turn into a ball, squeeze his instep and foot like a massager, and finally cover the entire foot to dry the residual moisture.

This kind of life is really easy to be addicted to.

"What about you?" Anna sat down beside him. "Will you go with Nana Wa tomorrow?"

"No, the other person is Sylvie. Her surveillance ability is irreplaceable for the defending army." Roland held the other's hand. "I can certainly stabilize the people's mind when I go back, but they always have to I am used to coping with trouble without sitting in the middle of the town. In addition, the main force of the first army is not in place, and the role that I can play alone is very limited. When the wheat is delivered by the two, the second batch is my turn. is you."

Since the ability of the hummingbird is not effective for the living thing, the number of people who are loaded at one time is limited to about two people, and the floating depends on the specific weight of the person. Lightning can also carry one person's actions, but the height will drop sharply. Basically, it can only fly against the treetops, and it can be used for emergency. It is too unsafe to take a long-range voyage.

It is a long journey from Hermes to No Winter City, even if the wheat can continue to fly after the sun sets, and does not have to spend time every day to eat, it takes nearly three days for a single trip. He can only ship in batches according to the urgency of the witch.

Fortunately, the army will gradually move south along the inland river, and the interval between each batch of personnel will be shortened accordingly.

“If you can have a faster way of transport,” Anna looked up. “For example, a machine that can fly in the sky.”

"That's not easy, unless Roland wanted to say that without an internal combustion engine, it would be impossible to create a truly usable aircraft, but halfway through, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, causing him to subconsciously change his mouth. "Wait, maybe it's not something that can't be done."

"What do you do?" Anna's blue eyes sparkled.

"Using the power of Wendy and Mystery," Roland thought, "If it's just for manned... the combination of the two may make it work!"

This is also the inspiration for McMug's bombing plan. If you don't pursue mass production or versatility, the witch's ability can be equivalent to the machine in many ways.

After three years of accumulation, No Winter City now has lightweight aluminum, an arithmetic institute that can perform large-scale calculations, and a central carrier for verification results. An unpowered or weakly powered glider is not An unattainable goal.

Of course, the most important thing is Wendy's wind control and the electric motor with Dawning No. 1.

To put it simply, an airplane can fly because the engine provides a rearward thrust that allows the wing to advance in the wind and use the airflow passing through the upper and lower sides of the wing to create a differential pressure that gains lift.

According to the existing technology of No Winter City, the power of an electric motor is far enough to pull up an aircraft, but he does not need to get lift from the movement. The wind of Wendy is the air pressure that can directly act on the wing. difference". The motor only needs to provide a horizontal component, just as lightning can adjust the direction of the bomb in the air, usually only a small force is applied, and the aircraft can be vacated.

“In order to obtain efficient air-defense capabilities, its wings should be as long as possible,” Roland recalls the appearance of the gliders of the later generations. The more excited the more, “but to maximize the lift before take-off, it must have a wider wing. Root, can include Wendy's control range. And..."

A well-designed glider can climb the height of the air by hot air, which greatly increases the gliding distance, but here, the witch can provide updraft anytime, anywhere, which means that as long as the magic is not exhausted, it can fly forever.

In other words, as long as a runway is built at the destination, the aircraft can transport ten or more even slower gliders at a speed of more than two hundred kilometers, almost three times that of the wheat. You can reach any city in the Grey Fort in one day.

Of course, whether it is prototype manufacturing or manipulation training, it is a gradual process. Even if it is done now, when the gods can go to heaven, the witch and the first army have already returned to the winter city.

However, this thought still makes the two people eagerly discuss the long flight, and has always been the biggest temptation for human beings born on the ground and dying on the ground. And the glider is different from the clumsy hydrogen ball, the former is really flying in the wind.

If Itis can bring Rouland a political surprise, then technically, the only one who can communicate with him is Anna.

"Right," she carefully collected the results of the discussion and the sketches of the model. "Have you heard any good news at today's meeting? You haven't been so relaxed since you received the letter without Winter City."

"Okay," Roland raised his mouth and said the single talk of the North Pearl.

When she heard the reason of Isis, Anna couldn’t help but laugh.

"What's wrong?" he couldn't help but be curious.

"I want to say that she is too confident in everyone. Learn everything you teach? It's hard to be a high mathematics, let alone physics and chemistry..." Anna made a face, "I feel even After spending a hundred years, I can't understand all those orange books."

"Oh," Roland laughed. "There are many books in this world in the world of dreams."

"And, I don't think the future world will be like she said."

"Oh? What do you think will become like?"

"She thinks that if you can't gain prestige through two ribs, it's better to let the morning glory fall into chaos, but I think the way the prestige is accumulated is far more than this. When you lead everyone to fight against the devil, the terrible enemies that invade the kingdom are completely eliminated. It is a prestige that no one can match.” Anna said earnestly, “You have destroyed the church and won the battle of God. The witches will keep in mind that the Tacitahs will be proud of you. You bring all kinds of knowledge to you. The public, as long as you open the book, you will always find your name. No matter history or the world, you will never know, no one knows. Under such prestige, the lords of other kingdoms have asked to join in order to seek asylum. Under your rule, no one dares to violate your will because there are too many examples to prove the end of those who are rebel. After a hundred years, there may be only one kingdom in the world, and its border has already expanded to fertile soil. The plains are just a little bit restored to the glory of the human kingdom..." She paused. "Is such an idea wrong?"
