"So, in the end, Miss Tilly wrote the Flight Manual?" Anna put down the book in her hand and said with a chuckle, "Will Vendy feel depressed?"
"I'll definitely be a little depressed, but I don't think it'll be a big problem." Roland moved his body up a little to make himself more comfortable.
"Are you so sure?"
"Nightingale just asked me for next month's Chaos Drinks in advance, and Scroll also applied for three ice cream rolls. With the two of them accompanying her, maybe she'll recover in one night. I also specially gave her two bottles of fruit wine as a form of comfort so that she won't worry about it when she gets drunk. "
"Is this wine called Drunk or Dreaming?"
"No, it's called Vanilla Medium Wine."
"What? It's really ordinary..."
This was the most relaxing moment for Roland. After washing off the dust and fatigue of the day, the two of them would lean against the soft black velvet pillows and share the trifles of the day that they had experienced. Usually, Anna would also bring along a travel book or miscellany and read it before going to bed. One of his favorite things to do was to turn sideways and admire her soft and bright profile.
Since the railway line in the Misty Forest started construction, this was one of the few times they could face each other.
Almost every three days, she would take the train to the northwest to deal with the tracks laid by Leaf, and then take the train back in the evening.
Even if she didn't have to weld the tracks, she still had a lot of work to do.
For example, some of the key components of weapons.
And the replacement and improvement of the new machine tools.
Cutting and assembling the skeleton of the glider was also inseparable from her.
Although the industrial level of the Western Region had been greatly developed compared to the time when it was first established, and the basic metal raw materials and production tools had been de-witched, it still could not keep up with the speed of updating Roland's design.
Therefore, this leisure was even more precious.
"But it's not bad for Miss Tilly to write the Flight Manual," Anna changed the topic back to the test flight. "After all, what you ultimately want to make is for everyone to use, so her feelings are closer to those of ordinary people. In addition, in terms of learning ability, her knowledge is no less than mine. She should be more helpful to you than Vendy. "
"Hmm … Vendy's specialty is indeed not here." Roland nodded. "I should have thought of this from the beginning."
"So, have you thought about the machines for the new plane?"
"Of course," he replied confidently. "It's what I'm best at. Moreover, with the Dream World as a reference, he could complete the prototype in one go. Once the fractionation tower is completed, we can start production. "
Then the two of them talked a lot about the industrial problems in Neverwinter, from technical details to development plans — and it was not just his one-man show. Anna not only understood his intentions, but also gave her opinions and compliments appropriately. This kind of feeling was really refreshing.
Thinking of the terrible ratio of men to women in the Academy of Mechanical Engineering and the seemingly hopeless job prospects, and looking at the girl beside him who constantly fluttered her eyelashes, he suddenly felt that the God of Machinery was blessing him.
Probably because she had stared at him for a long time, Anna could not help but burst into laughter. "Is my face that beautiful?"
Roland did not answer, but directly expressed his thoughts through his actions — he leaned over and gently kissed her ear.
"If I knew you were like this, I would have taken action earlier," Anna said with a smile on her face.
Was she referring to the time when she intercepted him at the castle gate on the night of the celebration after the end of the first Months of Demons?
"What did you think I was at the beginning?" Roland could not help but ask curiously.
"No matter how kind you were, you were still a prince, the rumored pinnacle of nobility. After all, you were different from us."
"Haha … sorry to disappoint you." He pretended to be regretful. "I'm just an ordinary person."
"No, that's for the best …" Anna shook her head and replied with a smile, "Because, I'm also an ordinary person."

Two days later, in the Barbarian Land.
The main force of the First Army finally arrived at the preset artillery position — Northbound Slope — according to the battle plan.
However, what made Iron Axe suspicious was that their journey was too smooth. Not only did they not encounter any attacks, but they also did not encounter any aerial harassment.
He had originally planned to advance by stepping on the corpses of the enemies, but in the past six days, he did not even see a trace of the demons. The only battle they encountered was with a pack of foraging wolves. Other than that, the whole plain was strangely quiet, as if all the monitors were attracted by the sniper team.
If that was the case, it would not be a big deal. However, from the feedback he received from the witches, it was not the case.
In fact, the demons only increased the frequency of patrols in the first two or three days, and then they withdrew most of the Devilbeasts. The patrols at the outpost had not resumed, so it could be said that the demons had given up monitoring the area.
After setting up camp, Iron Axe immediately summoned the leaders of the participating troops and the General Staff to the central tent.
"What do you think of the demons' silence?"
"It's indeed a little strange..." Agatha, the representative of the Witch Union, pondered for a moment and said, "The only thing that can restrict their movements is the Red Mist, but Sylvie said that the construction of the outpost hasn't stopped, at least the supply of the Red Mist hasn't been interrupted."
"It's easy to understand if it's the nobles," The Light Of Dawn said. "Either there's a problem in the rear, or they don't want to give up their scouting Devilbeasts." Then he looked at Agatha and asked, "Miss Sylvie, can you see the movements of the Taquila ruins?"
"That place is too far away from them." Sylvie shook her head. "The sniper team gave up baiting the enemies a day ago and is rushing towards us."
"How long will it take?" Iron Axe asked.
"At least four days." Agatha glanced at the map. "Although the Magic Ark is fast, they're taking the opposite route from the First Army. Of course, if only Lightning and Maggie come, they'll arrive tonight. "
"In fact, we don't have to guess the enemy's intentions," Edith suddenly said. "No matter what they want to do, it's a godsend opportunity for us. We can enter the attack formation without any loss, and the underground supply line is unimpeded. There's no better start than this. Next, we just need to use the Longsong Cannons and raze the demons' outpost to the ground. "
From the perspective of the outcome, this statement was reasonable.
Iron Axe thought for a moment and said, "As long as the Magic Ark doesn't surface, it's basically impossible for the demons to find it, right?"
"You can think of it that way," Agatha replied.
"Then can Maggie bring Miss Sylvie with her?"
"I'll tell her."
"Thank you." Iron Axe quickly made a decision. "Battalion Commander Van'er!"
"Yes!" Van'er stepped forward and said.
