Release that Witch

When Roland got up from the bed, the sky was already bright.

He put on his coat and walked to the window. The white buildings had exposed their respective backgrounds, and the red tiled gray walls were mixed together to form a vibrant variegated color. Although the interior is still very cold, but in the face of the sun, you can feel a little warmth.

The earth has snowed.

Into the study room of the study, the table is placed today's breakfast, a fried egg and two pancakes, plus a cup of hot water, as in the town, apparently the nightingale to help themselves.

“Thank you,” Roland said to the empty lounge chair.

"How do you know that I am here?" The figure of the nightingale gradually emerged.

"You can't sit when you can lie down," he smiled, holding the two pancakes in the egg and sending it to his mouth. "And the back of the chair is stuck, I don't know if there is a ghost."

"No, I like it too," she said, and she appeared on the desk and turned to sit on the edge of the table. "Like here."

This set of movements is always in the air, and Roland thinks, especially the process of breaking into the fog and then coming out, it is like a transition.

"You look good and have a good dream?"

She raised an eyebrow. "Well, it's a good dream."

"That's good," Roland swallowed "egg burger" in a few mouthfuls. "Today you have to follow me."

"Because of the assassination?"

"Well," he said, "If the list of gems is enabled by Fei Ke, then there may be other dark chess in the West, and we can't review everyone." These are not loyal to the royal family. Second, there are people who have the courage to do so should not be wasting the assassination. They could have put themselves in a more promising position to exert their abilities. Thinking of this, Roland further strengthened his determination to eradicate the forces of Tefco as soon as possible.

"As you wish, Your Highness," the nightingale smiled. "Where is the trip today?"

“Pool and salt wells, this is one of the main purposes of my visit here.”

......

After recruiting Peor and a related person to the castle, the inspection team drove to the outside of the city.

Although Roland is more concerned about the iron ore mines located in Maple Leaf and Wild Rose, the gem trade is also the pillar industry of Changge District, and it is also the closest to the fortress. Therefore, the first stop of the inspection was placed in this famous place. Five-color gemstone mine.

Due to the snow, the ground became muddy and the carriage could not pass. The pedestrians could only ride slowly and arrived at the edge of the desolate mountain. It took most of the morning. Roland once again convinced that the truth of wanting to be rich, the road to repair the road first, there is no hard road leading to the mining area, once it rains, it is impossible to transport the ore smoothly, and the high output is useless.

The veins are located in a natural cave. After a short passage, the interior is suddenly open. Nearly a hundred bunches of turpentine torches can only take a picture of the cave. Roland raised his head and looked around and asked, "Is this cave naturally formed?"

"Yes, Your Highness," Pedro nodded. "The rumor even found it to be an accident: it was originally a smooth rock wall. There was a shock in the earth more than three hundred years ago. The rock wall collapsed and revealed now. At the beginning of the hole, local hunters used this place as a shelter for rain. Later, as exploration continued, the existence of five-color gemstones was discovered."

"You know it very well," Roland laughed.

“These stories are well-known in the West.” Pei Luo waved his hand and let a team of men come together. “He is Denver Ke, who is the manager of the mine. You can ask him about the specific issues.”

"You are the Duke of Ryan?"

"No, Dear Sir, the Kezhen family does not belong to any lord," said the man known as Denver. He was about thirty years old, but he was like a calm old man. I have lived around this mine for generations and found that its hunters are also one of the family's ancestors. The family has served three dukes, and the mine maps drawn are one person high. No one can know the mine like Ke Wei. ""

I can see that he is very proud of this, even if he is facing the ash prince, he can still talk. And the steady temperament is exceptionally outstanding, and a set of slim black uniforms is like the old butler of the millennial family in the movie.

Since the group passed the nightingale review before departure, Roland was not worried that he was a lurker. "Why is there no mining in the mine now?"

"Because the evil moon has just ended, His Royal Highness," Denver replied without thinking. "The snow in the mountains melts and merges into the mountains and flows down. Although there are drainage ditches and sinks in the mine. However, the speed of water collection is much faster than that of people, and the veins at the bottom are temporarily inaccessible. According to past practice, it is necessary to wait until the arrival of summer to normal mining."

"Is the same for the iron ore in the Maple Leaf and Wild Rose Fields?"

"I haven't been there yet, but I heard that the iron mines of the two mines have a higher terrain and the mines are extending upwards. It is much better than here. But if you want to resume production, you have to wait at least a month later."

"It seems that you need to set up several steam engines to help pump the water." Roland shrugged.

"Steam... machine, what is that?" Denver was puzzled.

“A machine that keeps the mines from resting for four seasons,” the prince couldn’t help but raise his mouth. “There is a lot of mining about what you need to learn in the future.”

The other side's look seemed quite unbelief, and the lips moved, but in the end there was no rebuttal.

Luo Lan did not pay attention to it. The ore mine car and the supporting steam pump pumping and traction system have been used very skillfully in the north **** mine. They even sold a set to the ore tycoon of Yinguang City. The high steam equipment is only that he is not interested in the gemstones, and will definitely focus on the development of iron ore.

"If that's the case, go to the next place to visit." Roland turned.

"Wait, Your Highness... This is a little bit of Ke's family," Denver probably didn't expect the prince to leave immediately. He quickly took two steps, took out a small wooden box from his arms and handed it to him.

"Oh?" Roland took the wooden box with interest and opened the lid. I saw two crystal jewels lying in the box, the light of the torch illuminates the brilliance of red and green, dazzling. He couldn't help but see, "This... is the colorful stone?"

"Exactly, Your Highness, they are the best choices from the most precious gems of the texture, and are the collections of the family 100 years ago." Denver said, "The Kezhen family is honored to serve the new owners of the West."

Roland did not listen to the second half of the other party. His attention has been concentrated on the gem. This light is too familiar. Even if he knows nothing about minerals, he has heard of the names of such stones.

Compared to the fascinating name of the colorful stone, in the later generations, it has another more popular name, diaspore. (To be continued.)
