A week later, Tilly delivered a roster to Roland's office desk.

"How's it going, is the recruitment going well?" Roland poured a cup of tea for the other party and asked warmly. In the face of this titular "sister", he has always had a lingering sense of weakness - unlike Anna, who took the initiative to tell her, she was the first person to see through that she was not the fourth prince. Although the Flying Devil's subconscious protective actions made him understand that she had fully accepted this alliance, the weakness in his heart did not ease in the slightest.

After all, it was he who occupied the body of the fourth prince.

Obviously, at the beginning, he planned to sit on his brother's identity unreasonably, but the other party did not pursue it, and he became a little uncomfortable.

Of course, he doesn't take this out and repeat it over and over again - most of those who want an answer in the final analysis will die halfway through, and he knows this very well.

"Except for the fact that the number of people is not ideal, the rest is fine. Tilly took the teacup, brought it to her lips and blew softly, "One hundred and twenty-four people have been selected from among the migrants, and seventy-three among the official residents, adding up to less than two hundred...... In the fight against the devil, such a few people are afraid that they will not be of much use. ”

"It's always a little bit more difficult at first," Roland said, flipping through the roster, "and when you have a role model, you're bound to attract more people when you do a second round of recruitment—and then it's not just a matter of having no winter." ”

Although the horizons are different, human beings' yearning for vast space is engraved in their bones - from the moment civilization sprouts, people have begun to look up to the starry sky. Whether it's imitating a bird or using a balloon, the exploration of the blue sky is not a patent only in the age of airplanes, and the explorers of the Curious Objects Society are the best examples, so he is not too worried about the attraction of the air force.

The first thing to do is to prepare a team that can fly out.

However, he knows that training pilots is never an easy task.

In the era when the flight control system was still immature, the most important ...... for pilots It's talent. Tests such as fear of heights, anti-dizziness, and physical coordination are just the most basic requirements, such as spatial direction, understanding of aircraft, and even the speed of neural reactions, all of which determine whether a person is suitable for being a pilot.

The veterans of the First Army are extremely obedient and reliable, and it is okay to select a small number of outstanding people to serve as core officers, but it is somewhat difficult for strong men to form an air force by pulling them out of one brain.

That's why he's broadened the screening crowd to new migrants.

The level of cultural theory can be cultivated by nurture, and if there is no talent, there is no talent, rather than making people go to heaven, it is better to find more people with extraordinary qualifications.

According to statistics, more than 3,000 people signed up in a week, and nearly 200 were selected, so it seemed wise to take temporary residents into account from the outset.

Turning to the last page of the roster, Roland couldn't help but sigh, "There are still six people who failed to pass the oath process?"

"Divided hearts, taken down by Vader for interrogation," replied the Nightingale, "two of whom are official residents of Neverwinter. ”

Roland frowned, theoretically this is not something to make a fuss about, people's hearts are fickle, from good to evil just a thought, he did not expect these people to be the same forever. But when this happened, he still felt a wave of disappointment.

They could have followed him into a new, better era.

They have even seen the threshold of a new era.

In the end, he abandoned it at the threshold.

"Have you found out why?"

"I would have reported to you after a thorough investigation," Nightingale said lazily, "they were all bribed by foreign merchants in the hope of infiltrating the army and obtaining more information about firearms." The police then went out, but they were able to catch only the businessman's assistant who had remained at the hotel. So I asked Ah Xia to go back, and found a letter from the old royal capital in the illusion, judging from the content, the mastermind looks like a nobleman. Anyway, now that we know each other's whereabouts, appearances, and identities, and the portrait drawn by Zoroa has been sent to Tasa via animal messenger, I don't think he can escape for long. ”

Hearing this, Roland couldn't help laughing, and the previous unhappiness was swept away. In the face of this unreasonable mode of investigation, the rebels are really pitiful.

"Uh...... What's the problem?" the nightingale blinked.

"No, you're doing a good job," Roland said, puffing the corners of his mouth, "since they don't want to give up, the North Slope Mining District won't be too suspicious." ”

It seems that the old aristocracy is still not completely dead, and as long as he shows a little flaw, these people will revivenation. However, this did not surprise him, after all, the feudal nobility lasted for nearly a thousand years, and it still existed in the other three kingdoms, and it was not possible to make it disappear completely.

"Alright," Tilly coughed twice, bringing the conversation back to business, "the human problem is solved, but where is the plane?"

"That's the question...... By the way, Evelyn recently made a batch of Chaos drinks that taste great, would you like to try them?"

"Ah, yes!" Tilly snapped back to her senses, "Now you're talking about airplanes, you can't even build a prototype, right?"

Right in the bull's-eye.

"Anyway, they have to start with literacy and basic theory, and if it's just a demonstration, the glider is ......"

"No," Tilly interrupted righteously, "even if it's a glider, the improved model that has been tweaked behind it flies very differently than the previous one, let alone a brand new aircraft." If I haven't even tried it myself, how can I teach others? Those students are still very early to actually fly, but it will take me at least a month or so to fully understand its performance and make adjustments to the flight manual, not including the time for subsequent improvements. Since you have entrusted this matter to me, it is naturally my duty to urge you to do your duty. ”

Such a more real Five Princesses, Roland is the first time to see them.

It can be seen that she is indeed full of love for this kind of "big toy" that can not only fly but also match her own ability.

The only problem is that Roland underestimated the difficulty of building a complete aircraft - even a biplane classic aircraft, even if it only had one more power and fuel equipment than a glider, the complexity had increased exponentially, thanks to the help of many materials in the dream world. If he alone designs it, I'm afraid that he won't even be able to finalize a finalized plan in a few years.

"I know," he shook his head helplessly, "In half a month, I took out a finished product that could fly." ”

"Then we're done. Tilly smiled slightly, "Also, what about the delicious Chaos Drink, please let me try it too." ”

......

"Strange ......" Nightingale muttered in a low voice as the Five Princesses left with a whole bottle of Chaos Drink.

"What's wrong?" Roland asked.

"She's called you brother many times in public before, but rarely when she's seen you alone...... Isn't that strange?"

"Is that so?" he froze, "but ...... Why?"

"I don't know. ”

The two of them stared wide-eyed, touched their chins, and fell into this difficult puzzle together.
