Chapter 235 An Unexpected Letter

Roland spread out the letter paper and handed Maggie a piece of beef jerky at the same time. ?(? Eight [one Chinese? Wen

"Cuckoo!" The latter took the jerky with his mouth open, swallowed it two or three times, and then obediently lay down on the table, burying his head in his feathers.

"Please see the letter, dear brother, or, "His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon"."

"I have received your letter, and I agree with your views. Although I don't know why you suddenly changed your temper and changed your previous dandy style, you are willing to help witches, but since you have already done so, then The church has become our common enemy.”

"Perhaps you already know that I became a witch, which is why everyone is willing to believe me. But you are a prince, an out-and-out nobleman, and it is incredible that you can gain the trust of so many witches. Since After hearing about your news, I have always wondered, how on earth did you do this? If you use witches as tools like other nobles, then it is impossible to gain Ember's approval, and she will not choose Let Maggie stay in Border Town."

"Besides, I'm also very interested in the steam engine Maggie mentioned, as well as the saying that knowledge promotes the evolution of abilities. Especially the latter, I hope to have the opportunity to discuss this with you in detail."

"As for your invitation, I thought about it again and found that I have no reason to refuse. The establishment of an alliance requires trust and sacrifice. If we are all hesitant and timid, the church will only take advantage of it in the end. Therefore, I will Most of Sleeping Island's abilities to assist witches are attached to the letter in the form of a list. You can choose the ability you need most and let me know through Maggie. If all goes well, they will leave for your territory next month .For safety reasons, it is best to have no more than five people at a time.”

"In addition, please designate a reliable pick-up plan and send someone to protect it. Every loss of a witch is a major loss for Border Town and Sleeping Island, and it will also cast a shadow over our cooperation. Hope You can take good care of them like you take care of your witches. If you can, please let them participate in the basic knowledge teaching at night. I believe that if any witch can become more powerful, it will be a blessing to us. good news."

"As you said, the church has already figured it out, and it will be a matter of time before the four kingdoms are annexed. I hope that when that day comes, you are ready to deal with it. If it is difficult to resist, Sleeping Island will It is your haven of refuge. Of course, when fighting against the invasion of the church, I will give as much help as possible.”

"Finally, may we end the oppression of the Church and build a new order together - a new kingdom where no one, not just witches, will be persecuted for nothing."

"Your sister, Tilly Wimbledon."

Roland put down the letter paper, the joy in his heart was indescribable, he put away the letter paper with a smile, took out another piece of beef jerky and held it in front of Maggie.

Immediately she stuck her head out and pecked away the food. "Coo, coo coo!"

He touched the silky feathers on the back of the other's neck, and the latter closed his eyes comfortably.

"It's hard work, but Lightning followed the fleet to the capital, and it should be a few days before he comes back." Roland smiled, "You can go to play with Nana or Ye Zi, or go to the bathroom to take a bath and sleep first .”

"Goo...coo!" Maggie waved her wings, then jumped up from the table, flew out of the window, and quickly disappeared.

What she said just now should have been "I'm not tired, I'm going to play with them." Roland found that even if the other party was speaking in a dove state, he could understand the general meaning.

... Is this the power of habit?

Having said that, he never expected that Tilly agreed to his invitation, and even attached a list of witches' abilities. This is simply a treasure trove! Although the letter did not specify how long they would be allowed to stay, it would probably take half a year to complete the entire elementary education course. If he added another 100,000 whys and extended the course to one year, how much change could these witches bring to Border Town?

Moreover, after they evolve, the benefits to themselves far outweigh the disadvantages—staying in the small town can effectively promote development, and even if they are returned to Sleeping Island, it will be a living propaganda symbol. With word of mouth from these people, more and more witches are willing to go to Border Town, and Tilly can't stop this trend. Roland believed that, rather than lure or intimidation, being sincere was the real long-term solution.

All in all, the surprise that this reply brought to him was far greater than expected. The other party's openness and enthusiasm made him feel like he had met a teammate from God. In this way, he was no longer alone in fighting against the church. As for the safe pick-up route, he had already considered it properly - avoid Clearwater Port or Haifeng County, and board directly from the uninhabited Bund south of Border Town. After arriving in the mountain area, take a hot air balloon over the mountain and reach the hinterland of the town without paying attention to the church, Timothy or Garcia.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Roland became. He resisted the urge to immediately browse through the appendix to pick out witches, and focused on what he had to do now—after all, Sleeping Island will dispatch witches as soon as next month, and the most urgent problem facing Border Town right now is housing. building.

Since the first army went to the capital, the fugitives transported from there have arrived in the small town in an endless stream. In order to prevent the recurrence of the evil plague, Roland arranged them all outside the city wall of the western region - a long string of wooden sheds had been set up there for the fugitives to live temporarily. Including the serfs farming along the Chishui River, the total number of the two groups has exceeded 8,000. If the fugitives are transported for a few more days, this number is likely to exceed the 10,000 mark.

There is no problem in supplying these people with food. After all, Border Town has never stopped food imports since the Moon of Demons, but the problem of accommodation is obviously a big problem. It's summer now, and living in a simple wooden shed can make do with it. In addition to shading the sun and rain, it is also very ventilated, but there are more mosquito bites. But once it was winter, the wooden shed was no different from the open air, the temperature outside was the same as the temperature inside the wooden shed. If they were not moved into brick houses, most of them would not survive the long winter. In other words, Border Town had to build houses and dormitories for ten thousand people in the remaining six months.

Roland spread out a piece of paper and began to write quickly.

He intends to mobilize some of the workers who built the Kingdom Avenue to housing construction. After all, the road is not a big problem for ten days and a half at night, and people who freeze to death in the territory are a complete stain on the political achievements. Even when he first crossed over, faced with the difficult situation of asking for money and having no money, and no one who wanted people, no one died of freezing or starving during the month of demons. Now with the Witch Alliance and the steam engine, as well as ample income and manpower, he Nature does not allow this to happen.

At this moment, Carter suddenly walked into the office.

"Your Highness, there is bad news." He looked serious, "Your chemical laboratory just exploded." (To be continued.)
