Chapter 376: The Castle’s new facilities

“What are they?” Andrea asked while chewing on the dried fish.

The prince of the Kingdom of Graycastle was tossing about something new again. He spliced sections of brass together, having Anna melt the joint and Soraya wrap a soft layer of magic coating around it. At first sight, they looked like the water pipes installed in the bathroom, but they were much larger in size and each of them was about the size of a human thigh. It was impossible for a man to move it without the help of Hummingbird, who reduced the weight.

Yet, the brass was not installed only in one or two rooms but horizontally throughout the whole castle and the Witches’ House. It entered from the corner of the room, connecting with a strange metal louver along the bottom of the wall, crossed the next room and joined with the longitudinal pipe at the very end.

This large project attracted a lot of witches to surround and watch it, in which the witches from both the Sleeping Island and the Witch Union showed great interest.

“Any guesses?” Roland smiled mysteriously and said, “If you get it right, an extra ice cream bread for dinner.”

Ice cream bread! This caught Andrea’s attention. It was the most amazing food here, a layer of sweet ice cream stuffed in two slices of toasted bread. It had never been heard of before in the Kingdom of Dawn. She instantly fell in love with the delicacy the moment she tried it. Despite being teased by Ashes repeatedly, she would still eat it. Otherwise, watching it being left on the plate would still be nothing short of torture to her.

“Does this supply water to rooms?” Ashes frowned.

“Of course not.” Andrea pouted to herself. Copper was not cheap. Since the small pipes in the bathroom could distribute water, why use such a huge one?

However, considering she was always teased by Ashes’ jeers of “who was the one who said the food from the past was the most delicious”, which she had indeed once said in front of Tilly and could not deny, Andrea could only pretend that she did not hear such superficial words.

“What a shallow opinion. Who needs such a big pipe for water supply?” someone said behind Andrea, “His Highness would never do such a pointless thing.”

Incisive! That was exactly what Andrea was thinking. Her spirit was lifted right away. No one else would dare to use such a tone to talk to an Extraordinary other than herself and Miss Nightingale from the Witch Union. She turned around and saw a woman looking at Ashes in disdain, with her chin being lifted to just the right angle.

This is the expression the nobility should use!

Andrea secretly praised this mysterious woman who was the most cordial witch she had met since she came to Border Town. Nightingale showed her extraordinary skills during the rescue of the witch in the relic. She was also from a noble background, and even her hair color was similar to Andrea’s. In the battles against the demonic hybrids on the city wall, Nightingale had recognized her ability and shared dried fish with her. She was just acting like a noble.

Most importantly, she didn’t like Ashes at all.

Andrea didn’t know how Ashes offended Nightingale when she first came to Border Town, but wasn’t it true that the enemies my enemy was my friend? Not to mention that her character was very compatible with Andrea herself.

“You’re talking as if you know the answer,” Ashes shrugged and said.

“Of course, I know,” Nightingale grinned and said, “I’ve been in the office when His Highness was drafting the design drawings. All of his plans were drafted in front of my very eyes.”

“It’s not fair!” Mystery Moon muttered.

“She doesn’t take part in the examinations though,” said the prince. The prince’s words made Nightingale’s proud expression stupefied right away. “A hint for you all, these pipes are only parts of the system and you may want to look elsewhere in order to better figure out the answer.”
