Chapter 177: Revisiting the Frontier

Maple leaf courtyard, in the cottage kitchen.

"That's right, that's how to remove the internal organs of the fish first, then remove the scales, wash it clean, and then apply some salt." Roland Hill bundled his sleeves and instructed another red-haired girl beside him. Although Keti looks plump and mature, her personality is extraordinarily simple. When the two are together, Loren Hill is more like a sister.

"Then put the fish in the pot, and when it is slightly crispy and browned, turn it over again, and add various seasonings and so on."

....

"...That's it."

In the kitchen, Roland Hill put the fish on a plate, and then poured the soup in the pot, bursts of seductive fragrance emanated, and the colors in it matched very well.

Keti blinked and looked at the braised fish out of the pot, silently memorizing the steps. She also wanted to help Lorraine cook, so she has been studying very seriously.

"Let's go, come to the hall in the middle for dinner." Loren Hill carried the dishes and walked to the spacious hall in the middle, where there were placed tables.

When she walked into the hall, there was already a young girl with blond hair and silver eyes sitting there. She was wearing a retro and elegant black dress with red butterfly hairpins in her hair.

"Senior Tidais." Lorraine looked at the phantom witch in surprise.

"Long time no see, little Lorraine, and Keti." Tides opened the folding fan in her hand and tapped it lightly. One by one exquisite candlesticks appeared on the table and around, illuminating the night indoors.

"Can I have dinner, little Lorraine~" she said jokingly with one eye slightly closed.

"sure."

Roland Hill asked Keti to sit at the table, and he brought the subsequent meals, and then the three sat at the table to taste and enjoy dinner.

"Lorraine, like Suqin, likes to use chopsticks." Tides said softly, looking at the pairs of chopsticks on the table.

"Have you been to the East before? The world over there is no smaller than the Western Continent, and the customs are also very unusual."

"I haven't been there yet." Roland Hill shook his head, and his smooth hair shook slightly.

"You can go and see in the future, there are also academies that are not inferior to Emenas, the saints teach under the purple banyan tree, the blue birds and dragons roaming between thousands of mountains and lakes, and the strange cave worlds hidden in the clouds and mists, Longevity and walking on clouds and mists are called the strange life of immortals."

"Their way of life and customs are completely different from those in the Western Continent," Tiides said.

Loren Hill nodded, curious about the familiar and unknown world in his heart.

Tides looked at the hair clip in Roland Hill's ear, and seemed to remember something, "Little Roland has used the hair clip a few times."

"Yes." Roland Hill thought to himself that he couldn't stop using it, and there was only one last time left.

"I'll give you another gem in a few days. Although it's not as versatile and convenient as Sister Trinasa's hairpin, it should be no problem if you save your life." Tides said thoughtfully.

"Thank you, Sister Tides." Now that she is being taken care of again, Roland Hill thought to herself. Fortunately, now that she gradually understands the people and things in this world, she will not be as repulsive as before.

"That's good." Seeing that Roland Hill did not refuse, Tiides seemed to be in a much better mood.

I can finally help this junior, so let's slowly build a relationship like this, so that we will have one more companion in the future.

——————

Three days later, Tides put a brand-new pendant on Roland Hill, and the smoke-colored crystal seemed to have a black mist wandering, exuding a different kind of beauty.

"It's done, you have to wear it well. If there is an emergency, you can call me through it, and you can be there when the time comes," Tiides said.

Although Roland Hill is already very strong, in the eyes of several other witches, this is still a little guy who was born soon and needs to be taken care of.

Lorraine nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Tidis played at Roland Hill for several days before leaving, during which she also taught Keti a lot of knowledge or skills.

"Actually, this is something from the previous generations of Keti. I just gave it back to her." Tidis said this. As an ancient witch who experienced the rise and fall of the Mercury Dynasty, she naturally got along with several generations of Keti. Pass.

"Then, goodbye, little Lorraine, and Keti." Tides waved to the two people below while sitting on the carriage, and then the two black unicorns pulled the carriage and flew to the other side of the sky.

"Goodbye." Keti and Roland Hill waved goodbye to the phantom witch.

The two continued to live in the hut in the forest, and only occasionally went out to buy something in the Rabbit-eared city not far away.

On weekdays, Roland Hill would read books or spin cloth in the house, and Keti would usually sit next to him and watch Roland Hill do things. She would sometimes go up to help, asking simple and innocent questions, and Loren Hill patiently taught the reborn flame witch.

In this way, the weather has gradually warmed up until the beginning of the next year.

After several months of winter, the snow on the ground slowly melted, and the war that had been stopped because of the snow and mud was slowly rekindled. Crancia also sent new reinforcements to the border with Frostrose.

"Have you packed your things, there shouldn't be anything missing?"

Roland Hill was wearing a coffee-colored coat, holding a rattan wooden box in his hand, looked at Keti's clothes, and then asked.

"It's all packed." Keti raised the things in his hand.

"

Well, let's go then. "

After finishing speaking, Roland Hill flew directly to the south with Keti, and their destination was the border city in the war, Green Water Port.

This port is also a prosperous commercial port in Vergane. Although it is not as developed as Hoplander, it has a large population. The former rival of Karites, the headquarters of the Dayas Chamber of Commerce was stationed here.

They are the shipbuilders of the older generation. In the past few years, they have combined with the mages of Frost Rose to design and produce many ironclad ships. It is a pity that in the naval battle last year, although the ironclad achieved good results for a while, it was quickly defeated by the new steel battleship of Karites.

After the Green Water Port was occupied, the shipyards that previously belonged to the Dayas Chamber of Commerce were also confiscated, and now the Karites Chamber of Commerce helps manage them.

"Miss Lacey, this way please."

Several high-level officials of the Chamber of Commerce of the local branch looked at the eldest lady respectfully, and then introduced the current situation of the Karites Chamber of Commerce and the situation in Lushui Port.

"Since we have joined forces with Crancia, we have received a large number of official orders for warships. According to your instructions, the contract was also set at a relatively affordable price. Now it is not only Hoplander, but the main production force of Banguo Island. Leia-class warships, even close to the green water port in the enemy area, will produce some auxiliary warships to prepare for the subsequent war."

"According to our estimates, if the Starlight Alliance wants to continue to increase its troops, it must ensure sea dominance, so that various supplies can be continuously transported from the sea to the front line."

"What about our production capacity, can we deliver orders by June this year?"

"Miss Hui, at present we have launched 5 Aglaia-class warships, 1 ship was sunk before, and 4 ships are currently in service."

"By June, it is estimated that 3 ships can be launched, but this is also our limit. For this reason, all other shipbuilding orders have been refunded, and the cultivation of craftsmen and skilled alchemists will take a lot of time."

"What about the transport ship, which is also used to transport food and supplies." Roland Hill looked at the busy scene in the shipyard and asked a few people around him.

"These are all very easy to solve. Before, many merchant ships could be temporarily converted into transport ships, and a lot of materials for ironclad ships were accumulated in Lushui Port, which just happened to be used."

"That's fine."

Looking at the busy workers in the field of vision, Roland Hill suddenly asked curiously.

"Are they from our Chamber of Commerce, or from the Dayas Chamber of Commerce."

Several people looked at each other and answered. "It used to be the Dayas Chamber of Commerce, but now, it has joined our Karites. After all, our welfare benefits are better, and we also have complete personal protection."

"Personal security?" Roland Hill turned his head.

"Yes, in order to produce finished products as soon as possible, Frost Rose was very oppressive to these craftsmen, and the top management of Dayas Chamber of Commerce also wanted to take the opportunity to please the mages, so the means of supervising work is relatively strong..." Several people considered their vocabulary , I don't want to say it too bloody and cruel, after all, in their eyes, this eldest lady is not too old, and she is so lovable.

"Okay, I probably know."

The girl shook her head slightly. It was almost inevitable that a flesh and blood factory would appear in a country with unequal rights. Who would care about these ordinary people at the bottom who couldn't resist.

But she really didn't want to see and hear such a scene anymore.
