Chapter 285 Answer

The environment of Sleeping Island is getting better day by day, as long as Tilly flies up, she can see the crowds and the bustling market.

Now it is no longer the place where the first three hundred or so witches lived in isolation. Through negotiations, the Crescent Moon Bay, Shuanglong Island, Sunset Port, and Shallow Water City in the fjord islands have all established commercial ties with Sleeping Island. A group of ordinary residents were introduced from some crowded village islands.

Although they are currently living in the periphery of the island, far away from the witches, Tilly believes that one day, Sleeping Island will become a city that does not divide each other. Integration is a slow but expectant process. Whether the awakened witches from other islands join Sleeping Island, or they stay in their birthplace and are accepted by the local people, it is good news for Sleeping Island. This means that Tilly and the migrated witches will gain more supporters.

"Come down, it's windy," Ashes shouted from below, "Be careful of falling!"

"I'm fine!" She waved her hand, and suddenly her body sank, and she stabilized after falling for a certain distance, "Well...it's still a little difficult to control."

"Flying so high even though you know it's hard to control!" Ashes stomped, "You can practice at a lower place, or go to the sea. If you don't come down, I'll climb up to the roof to catch you."

"Okay, okay, I see," Tilly felt that the wind was indeed getting stronger, and she stopped trying to be brave. She collected the released magic power and slowly landed in the garden of the residence.

"The next time you are asked to do something like this, call Molly first." Ashes said with rounded eyes, "At least her magic servant can catch you."

"As long as I keep supplying magic power, it's impossible for me to fall. At most, I just can't control the direction." She took off the blue magic stone gloves in her hand and handed them to the other party. "You can try it too, the feeling of flying is simply amazing." Great, looking down on Sleeping Island from the sky, you will feel that the whole world has become completely new."

"I still can't." Ashes waved his hand, "The lightning magic stone at the beginning couldn't be activated, let alone this kind of stone that needs to be continuously injected with magic power. And there is only one of it, even if you master the control skills, it can't be with you flight."

"That's right." Tilly withdrew her gloves with some regret, "I often think, if I can figure out the principle, it would be great if I could make magic stones with corresponding abilities myself."

"Do you think it's man-made?"

"Of course," she nodded without hesitation, "no matter in terms of polished appearance or usage, these stones are unlikely to be formed naturally. The group who built the ruins must have a deeper understanding of magic, but it's a pity They left no clues beyond an incomprehensible pile of documents."

At this moment, a huge white figure fell from the sky, and due to the rapid descent, it almost hit the ground with a thud, stirring up a circle of dust.

"Maggie?" Ashes raised her eyebrows.

"Ugh...it hurts so bad," it was the little girl who came, she got up from the ground, rubbed her head and said, "Did I get dazzled just now? Lady Tilly actually flew in the sky! If it wasn't for the wrong hair color, I thought it was lightning."

"You're not mistaken, I did fly up just now," Tilly smiled and rubbed her cheeks, "How is it... Are the witches of Sleeping Island doing well in Border Town?"

"Very good, they all asked me to deliver letters to you," Maggie rummaged through the letters in her satchel, "This is from Lian, this is from Evelyn, and this...is from His Royal Highness."

Tilly was slightly taken aback, and saw that His Royal Highness's letter was half a finger thick, and it was wrapped tightly, more like a package. It was a little heavy to hold in the hand, obviously there was more than just a simple piece of letter paper inside.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Ashes took out half a wheat cake, broke off a small piece and handed it to Maggie, but the latter shook her head, stuffed a handful of dried fish into her mouth, and said vaguely, "I went to play with Molly. "After speaking, he transformed back into a huge white dove, flapped his wings and flew out of the garden.

"Why do I feel like I haven't seen her for a month, and she's grown bigger again?"

"I agree," Tilly said with a smile, "Maybe life in Border Town is really good."

Back in the house, she tore open the letter from Roland Wimbledon, and found that apart from a piece of letter paper full of content, the rest of the dozen or so pages were actually full of lifelike paintings.

"What's this?"

The question of Ashes was also a doubt in Tilly's heart. She shook her head and spread out the drawing papers one by one—the content on them was unbelievable: the background was like an evening in the wilderness, under the blood-red sunset, two horrific-looking The monster is fighting a group of witches. But the witches were obviously at a disadvantage. Their abilities seemed to have lost their effect. Neither poisonous snakes nor fireballs could stop the enemies. When they saw the last picture, several witches had already fallen into a pool of blood.

Tilly frowned. The scene in front of her was undoubtedly drawn by a witch. Only magic could create such a realistic image. But... these are just simple picture scrolls, or are they facts that have happened before?

She grabbed the stationery nervously and scanned it quickly.

Soon, Tilly felt her heart tighten, and a word repeatedly appeared in the letter made her hands tremble slightly: "the devil".

"What's the matter?" Ashes held her wrist, "What was written in the letter?"

"The past of the Mutual Aid Society," she patted the back of the other party's hand, indicating that she was fine. "They used to look for the holy mountain in the wild... You should still remember the word about the holy mountain?"

"Well, the legendary destination of witches, you can get real tranquility and peace in the holy mountain, but this is just a illusory rumor," Ashes said disapprovingly, "We can also live peacefully on Sleeping Island, and the evil spirit devours the body even more. It's a lie woven by the church."

"But Halaka believes that the holy mountain really exists, and she once found an ancient book in the ruins of the eastern forest, thinking that the gate to the holy mountain is in that forbidden land. So she led the mutual aid society They crossed the Impassable Mountains and went to the wasteland, but instead of finding the holy mountain, the witches encountered a terrifying monster." Tilly said in a low voice.

"Is it the one in the painting?" Ashes took a breath.

"That's right," she said with a heavy expression, "the letter said that they possess amazing strength, are quick to move, can drive evil beasts, and one of them can release lightning from its hand... just like the ability of a witch. In the end, more than forty witches, only six of them survived, and after they were desperate, they decided to seek refuge with the lord of Border Town."

"It turned out to be... like this."

"Also, what puzzles me is that there is a scribbled essay at the end of that ancient book, but it is written in the language of the four kingdoms," Tilly turned to the back of the letter paper, "it mentions the holy city, fighting the devil , and Acarice’s God’s Punishment Army experiment, it should be more than 400 years ago, but since they know the language of the kingdom, why did they use a completely different language to record documents and books?”

After pondering for a long time and getting no results, the fifth princess simply put all these things aside, took out Sylvan's letter, and planned to first understand the results of the investigation of the lord of Border Town.

As a result, the first sentence of the letter left her stunned, even more shocked than when she saw the word devil.

"Master Tilly, I didn't find any traces of camouflage or magical effects on Roland Wimbledon. Apart from the Witch Union, there are no witches of other forces hiding in the town. So I think...he may be your real one. elder brother."
