Chapter 254 Alliance

The weather in the fjord is very strange. Yesterday was a cloudless blue sky, but today it was gloomy, with wind and thunder, and a heavy rain was coming. ??? Hunting????????????????

Ashes held down her blown head, walked into Tilly's residence, and saw the giant pigeon squatting on her shoulder at first sight.

"Maisie?"

"Goo!" The pigeon raised its head, its eyes lit up, and it spread its wings and rushed towards the door. Ashes reached out and easily stopped him, "Turn into a human form and talk."

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" whom she shed to reveal her true face, "Do you hate pigeons?"

"I always think it's strange that a big bird can speak." Ashes smiled and pulled up the girl who was sitting on the ground, "When did you come back?"

"Not long ago, I was afraid of a storm, and my wings almost broke," she patted her chest, "Fortunately, I flew to Sleeping Island before the rain fell."

"That's how you...flyed back?" Ashes held his forehead, "Why don't you turn into Haiyan, isn't it faster?"

"Ah..." Maggie blinked suddenly, "I forgot to goo."

Tilly couldn't help laughing, she put down the letter paper in her hand, "Thanks for your hard work, I already know the news over there, you can go and play with Lian and Molier first, and wait until I figure out how to reply." inform you."

"Okay Goo!" Maggie saluted and jumped out.

"What did Roland Wimbledon say?" When there were only two people left in the room, Ashes walked up to Tilly and sat down on the floor. There was a map spread out in front of her. Looking carefully, it seemed to be the terrain near Border Town. picture.

"This is his letter," Tilly handed her a piece of paper, "I have to say, the witch he chose is really... special."

Ashes quickly read the letter, and couldn't help frowning, "He actually chose Sylvie? Does that mean he doesn't care about being exposed?"

"I don't know," Tilly said noncommittally. "Maybe it's because my ability notes are too vague, so that he didn't go into it at all? Or maybe he doesn't mind showing his identity in front of us to show his sincerity in cooperation? Of course, there is another a possibility..."

"He's really your elder brother," Ashes continued, "so he doesn't care about Sylvie's ability at all."

"But this possibility is very slim," she smiled self-deprecatingly. "Who is my brother? Is there anyone who knows better than me? If it was really Roland Wimbledon, he would definitely not fight to protect the witch." He chose to be the enemy of the church. Ever since he was a child, he has been best at escaping, whether it is facing challenges or difficulties... Even though he was transferred to the borderlands by the King's Order, he has never protested to his "father". Even if it's symbolic. "

Ashes raised his eyebrows, "Anyway, it's a good thing for us that he took the initiative to choose Sylvie, so that we don't have to find an excuse to send another witch out, but the other witches... do you really want to agree to him? ?"

"why not?"

"Lian is one of the most important witches on Sleeping Island. If she is gone, who will repair those mud houses? If you want to build something, or change the terrain of the island, it will be extremely inconvenient if you don't have the ability to reshape the terrain. After all We have only used less than 30% of the entire Sleeping Island, and there are still many places that can be improved," she pointed her fingers, "So is honey, she can drive the osprey to catch fish for everyone, all kinds of delicious fish that everyone enjoys every day The soup is all due to her. As for Candle and Evelyn, there are not many problems...Can't you refuse his request and replace two witches who don't have much use?"

"What is useful and what is useless? I sent them to Border Town in the hope that I could form an alliance with them, not abandon them," Tilly said with a serious expression, "No matter what your ability is, choose to come to this town." The sisters on the isolated island are all witches. If you want to build Sleeping Island into a home for witches, how can you screen them according to their abilities?"

Ashes had seen her show such an expression in the court before—this was the expression of the fifth princess when she was really angry, and she involuntarily changed her address, "Sorry...Your Highness, I just—"

Tilly sighed, and said slowly, "Besides, it's difficult to measure everyone's ability by some standard. Roland selected these five from more than a hundred witches, including the candles you said are not very effective. Fire and Evelyn. Are they really useless? Perhaps through this contact, we can figure out whether his purpose in picking these two was accidental, or whether he saw something we didn't realize." She paused, "No matter what, we are part of a very small number. Any witch is worth fighting for. They are not tools for building a home, but partners with a common goal. Don't say such things in the future. words."

"Yes, Your Highness." Ashes lowered his head.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning pierced through the clouds and landed on the sea. As if it was an order from the gods, deafening thunder followed closely behind, exploding above the Sleeping Island, rain fell from the sky, first there were sparse ticks, and then quickly merged into one after another. The dense rain covered the scenery outside the window with a layer of white mist, and the rain was so heavy that it even drowned out the conversation between the two of them for a while.

Ashes got up and closed the windows to prevent the rain from drifting into the room. Turning around, she saw Tilly shaking twice, her expression seemed a little haggard.

"Did you stay up late again yesterday?"

"Well," Tilly yawned, "The books brought back from the ruins are all written in the same language, and I have already found the common point among them, as long as I take time, I will definitely be able to translate them all. "

"That's right, in time... We've got rid of the entanglement of the church anyway, and we have plenty of time, so you don't need to study it all night long," Ashes frowned, "It will have a great impact on your body."

"Don't worry, I'm a mortal witch, and my body doesn't break down so easily." The fifth princess took a deep breath, "And I have a vague premonition—the sights I saw in the ruins make me feel uneasy. It's better to decipher the written content as soon as possible... By the way, when the witches go to Border Town this time, let them also bring an ancient book with them."

"If even you can't understand it, it's even more impossible for the witches of the Mutual Aid Society."

"It's just a matter of luck," Tilly said, "I heard that there is also an ancient ruin in the East Border Forest, and the origin of the Mutual Aid Society happens to be in Haifeng County, almost next to the forest, maybe some of them have seen this If it can be proved that the scripts of the two places are the same, it means that these relics were all written by the same group of people.”

"Yes, I understand," Ashes replied.

"Besides, I wasn't blaming you before, what you said made sense—but not the part about the effect of abilities," she reached out to stop Ashes from saying, "I reached an agreement with the Crescent Bay Chamber of Commerce, and they Some ordinary people will be transferred to Sleeping Island next spring. If Lian leaves for too long, it will indeed affect the subsequent construction of the island, so before winter comes, I will let them return to the fjord."

Ashes breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine."

"However, in order to avoid misunderstanding, I will also lead a few combat-type witches to take their place in Border Town to help the Aid Society resist the Moon of Demons." Tilly smiled slyly, "Would you like to go with me then?"

Ashes was stunned for a moment, and finally had no choice but to reply helplessly, "Of course, Your Highness." (To be continued.)
