Of course, at night, Xia Ya slept comfortably and woke up naturally.
After the death of the Witch of the Wild, there was basically nothing particularly troublesome about him.
Although the pub is temporarily closed, the feeling of not having to do anything the next day and being able to do whatever you want is very relaxing.
People are like this. After being idle for too long, they always want to find something to do for fun. When they are busy, they always want to take some time off.
Chara got up from the bed, walked through the corridor, ran down the stairs, and said hello to Alicia who was making breakfast.
"Morning, Alicia."
There was a smile on Xia Ya's face, much more cheerful than before.
Alicia raised her head and looked at Xia, looking at the smile on his face, she turned her head unnaturally, and a blush went directly to the roots of her ears.
In Western legends, the definition of male incubus is very similar to that of succubus in a sense. Some people think that they are one kind of creature.
It is a kind of male demon that comes to a woman while she is sleeping and has intercourse with him. He usually looks like a handsome man and absorbs the essence of a woman.
Therefore, having this part of blood, Xia Ya's bonus to appearance is secondary, mainly because he has a strange charm that women can't resist.
Alicia needs some time to adjust to Char's new look.
Char came to Alicia's side, smiled at the black cat lying on the sofa, "Good morning, Isabel."
Isabel slowly opened her eyes and stretched lazily, "Good morning."
"Where's Arthur?" Xia looked around and asked.
"He and Sonny went to the island to play." Calcifer said from under the pan. "He said he planned to teach Sonny how to hunt and let him learn to survive on the grassland."
Isabel had told them Sonny's true breed not long ago, but they weren't surprised, after all, cats of this size were really rare.
Of course, Alicia and Arthur finally decided to raise Sonny, at least until he was an adult, and let him decide whether to stay or go.
"How can he teach him if he doesn't know how?" Xia Ya said with some confusion.
"Kids are always like this," Alicia said.
As he spoke, Calcifer heated the pan to a suitable temperature.
She found the oil can from the spice jar on one side, grabbed the handle of the oil can with her left hand, and tilted it slightly.
Thick golden peanut oil flows down the protruding spout.
There are some ingredients in this world that don’t taste bad no matter how you cook them, such as meat, as long as you control the heat, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar.
She skillfully grabbed the handle of the pan and moved it left and right to let the oil flow into the pan. When the oil was warm enough, she put a thick strip of bacon on it.
The bacon here is different from the thin bacon that Char eats in modern times. It should be thick bacon cured by himself, which is very substantial.
The bright red body was sizzling with seductive oil, the volume was shrinking, the flesh was tight, and the aroma of meat was permeating the air. It seemed that there was some magical power attracting him.
Then, Alicia cracked a few more eggs and threw the eggshells into Calcifer's mouth. Several standard poached eggs gradually took shape in the pan.
She lifted the pan, divided the poached eggs and bacon into quarters according to the amount of food, and placed them on the plate.
The enticing aroma permeates the air, making your fingers dazzle.
"After dinner, we have to do something next."
Char sat in her seat, enjoying the breakfast made by Alicia.
"Is it about where to put the door of the tavern?" Alicia asked,
"No." Xia Ya said, "It's to make a pair of wings."
"Wings?" Alicia was a little confused, "Can't you fly?"
"It's not me, it's for this castle." Xia Ya said seriously.
"There is no rush about the bar. We are not short of money now, and we have plenty of time." Xia Ya said, "The mobility of the castle is too poor, and it can't run fast when encountering things, so we have to give it a pair of wings."
After a pause, he looked at Alicia.
"And, do you remember our plan?"
Alicia seemed to understand something and nodded.
"Plan?" Isabel raised her head, looked at Xia and Alicia curiously, "What plan?"
"Travel plan?" Alicia said, "Start from the west of Britannia and end at the east of Britannia. Let's see the world."
To be honest, since she became blind, she has never left the palace, so let alone the world, she has never taken a good look at Britannia.
If it weren't for Xia's magic door, she wouldn't have known there were so many beautiful scenery in this country.
Isabel nodded. Now that she couldn't return to the palace, it wouldn't be a bad thing to take this opportunity to go out and see the situation in other countries, so that she could have a clear understanding of the situation in the world.
Although she is not sure, Isabel feels that the battlefield of this war may not be just Britannia.
Char's words continued, "And after the contract between Calcifer and me is broken, the castle will need to be renovated before it can be moved."
"But..." Alicia found it hard to imagine, "Can it really fly?"
Xia Ya raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "You will know when the time comes."
Alicia called Arthur back, they had breakfast together, and then followed Arthur to open the door of the moving castle.
But now the castle is no longer moving. The entire castle is sitting on the edge of the grassland, like a mountain of ruins.
Xia Ya took out a bunch of hammers, nails and other tools from his tool room, and then moved a bunch of materials bought at an unknown time from the rear warehouse, including iron, wood, and some unknown materials. Material canvas.
Char gave a piece of parchment to Alicia and asked her to study it with Arthur.
Alicia opened the parchment. It was a drawing, which showed a pair of wings with iron wood as the skeleton. It seemed to be foldable. Every step of the production process was clearly written.
Xia Ya handed them a pair of scissors and a hammer, and continued.
"Help me do the third and fifth steps and cut these cloths into appropriate sizes."
Not that hard, Alicia thought.
It only took the three of them a few minutes to divide the work.
The more complicated magic work was completed by Char, while the rest of the scattered work that had no technical content but took a lot of time was taken care of by Arthur and Alicia.
Isabel couldn't help much, so she leaned against the door and watched their operations quietly while enjoying the breeze on the grassland.
Various tinkling sounds outside the castle rang all morning. Fortunately, the weather on the grassland was very sensible. It was neither hot nor cold. The warm sunshine was shining on the earth, and there was a cloud floating above them. Shade them from the sun.
Sonny, the little lion, also contributed his own strength. He bit the cloth and worked hard to help Arthur flatten it for easy cutting.
They didn't really want to create wings from scratch that could make a hundred-ton castle fly. It was Calcifer who really made the castle fly, and the wings were just a carrier of magic power.
Made very quickly with the help of magic.
Soon, a huge wing with a basic folding function appeared in front of them.
Xia Ya took out a few propeller blade-like things from the house, as well as a dust bucket for sweeping the floor, which contained a lot of white ash.
"Arthur." Xia Ya called Arthur's name, and then handed the bucket to him, "I'll draw a few points later, and you draw a circle around these points."
Arthur nodded.
Xia Ya took out another bucket from the room, which contained some black powder. He measured some dimensions on the ground with a ruler, poured a little black ash at several important points, and marked a large area.
Arthur stepped forward, carefully followed the points in a circle, and poured the white powder in the bucket onto the ground bit by bit, eventually forming a circle.
"Calcifer!"
Xia Ya said hello to the castle next to him.
"Step into the circle!"
"Rumble"
With a heavy sound, the castle, which looked like a mountain of garbage, stood up from the ground with difficulty like a ninety-year-old man.
Some parts fell to the ground with a clank, and more and more fell with every step. Thick black smoke spewed out, and it was obvious that Calcifer was working very hard to control the movement of the castle.
When Alicia was worried that the castle would fall apart in the next moment, he successfully entered the magic circle.
Char stood directly opposite the castle and said to Alicia and Arthur, "Put the wings and those blades in."
Arthur and Alicia moved the two wings together and placed one on the left and one on the right.
After everything was ready, Alicia stood far away while holding Isabel and Arthur who jumped on her. They looked at Char in the distance curiously.
I saw him standing in front of the castle, slowly raising his hand, and then slowly lowering it. When he raised his hand, a huge amount of magic spread from him to the surroundings.
Under the gaze of Arthur and Alicia, the magic circle exuded dazzling light, its two wings floated from the ground, and some grass below the castle was also floated in the air.
Steel, wood, soil, and the two wings they just made were reintegrated under the influence of magic.
After about a few minutes, a brand new castle appeared in front of them.
The size and general appearance are very similar to the past, but there seem to be more rooms, and there are a lot more green shrubs on the outside of the castle, giving it a natural feel.
The biggest changes are the extra wings on both sides and the extended propeller behind it, but Alicia is still skeptical that this kind of house can fly.
"Let's go, I'll take you to a good place!"
Char took Alicia, Arthur and the others back to the house, but there was no change in the layout.
"Well done, Calcifer, the transformation was successful." Char said to Calcifer on the hearth.
Calcifer hummed proudly.
He didn't stay too much in the living room, but opened the door that had been opened next to Calcifer.
After walking out of the door and passing through a corridor, the sight in front of them made both Alicia and Arthur slightly open their eyes.
It's not a scenery on a peninsula, but it's still on a moving castle.
At this moment, there is a small courtyard behind the castle, about dozens of square meters, covered with green lawns, and there are small dwarf trees of unknown species on both sides, but they do not occupy much space in the courtyard.
A circle of flowers was planted near the edge fence, including hydrangea, bougainvillea, and flowering shrubs such as gardenia.
Xia walked to the rain-proof porch next to the courtyard and pressed on a wall. The wall turned.
Under Alicia's gaze, the furnace where Calcifer was located was slowly moved to the side of the courtyard, forming a semi-open stove.
"Clang!"
Calcifer emerged from the match and made a brilliant appearance.
He grinned, "How about it! This is an idea that Xia Ya and I came up with together. When it doesn't rain, you can cook outside.
In the evening, you can have a barbecue while lying on the grass in the courtyard and watching the stars.
Turn in when it rains. "
Alicia came back to her senses and nodded, "It's indeed very creative."
"Where is this?"
Calcifer grinned slowly and took a deep breath. Then, the wings on both sides began to flap. The speed was not fast, but the castle began to tremble.
Alicia didn't react for a moment and almost fell down, but she just happened to run into Xia Ya's arms.
When she came to her senses, the castle was already flying in the air, with the blue sky above and clear white clouds next to it.
Except for the initial vibration, the wings no longer flapped, but were opened and used for gliding. The propeller extended from the back of the castle was constantly turning, leading the castle forward, as if walking on the sea of clouds. Same as above.
Both Arthur and Isabel opened their eyes wide, and they were so shocked that it was hard to describe. They could not look away from the sea of clouds in the distance.
There were no airplanes in this era. In other words, they were the first humans in the world to fly into the sky. This had an unprecedented impact on them.
After coming back to his senses, Arthur excitedly ran to the fence and looked down. The excessive height made him a little dizzy, but he quickly adapted to all the tall trees, sheep, cattle and the like on the grassland below. Animals turned into tiny dots one after another in his eyes.
He had never seen the earth from this perspective. At this moment, he clearly realized the vastness of the world, the vastness of the sky, and the insignificance of human beings.
But it is precisely because of being in such a vast world that it makes people's hearts surge and their blood boil.
"We're flying!" Arthur shouted excitedly, "We're really flying!"
Alicia also stared blankly at the sea of clouds around her. If the hot spring peach groves in Sashili and the magnificent sea on the peninsula are the most beautiful scenery in the world, it is difficult to see them.
So at this moment, what they see is a scenery that only gods can see.
