Chapter 286 "Transformation"

real brother.

The real... brother? How can this be?

Tilly was holding the letter paper in a daze, but she couldn't concentrate at all, and the thoughts in her head were surging like a tide.

Among the five children of his father Wimbledon III, Gron, Timothy and Garcia were born earlier, so they can be regarded as a circle. When Roland was born, the youngest Garcia was already six years old, so naturally she would not bring him to play. It stands to reason that I should form another circle with Roland, but...in fact, this is not the case.

Her elder brother yearned for the two elder brothers very much, and tried hard to integrate into their circle, but in the end he often became the one who was bullied. This caused Roland's character to become distorted and irritable. Of course, this anger did not dare to be released to Gron and the others, and could only be vented on himself in the end.

For example, he instigated himself to steal his father's crown together. After being rejected, he would inevitably become angry and insulted, and sometimes he would punch and kick each other. Later, she was discovered by her father, and after a harsh lesson, she restrained herself a lot, but she still did all kinds of tricks to scare her.

These things might not be understandable at the time, but looking back now, Tilly only finds them quite ridiculous and... childish.

Until the age of ten, she found an earthworm in several pieces in her beloved shoe, and finally decided to fight back when she couldn't bear it. She called Roland, and when he opened his mouth to threaten her, she directly stuffed the earthworm into his mouth - since then, the other party has never provoked her again, and she is unwilling to talk to this brother again.

After adulthood, Roland still didn't change at all, and even got worse. She often heard about his dandyism. According to the rumors of the nobles, he was irritable, mean, and ignorant. He was the least noble of the nobles, except Nothing but royal status. For this evaluation, Tilly deeply agrees... and she also knew that the other party's irascibility and irritability were all appearances made up to cover up his greatest weakness - timidity and cowardice.

However, such a person would actually stand on the side of the witch and shelter a group of aliens known as the minions of the devil, even at the expense of making enemies of the church?

Tilly didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Tilly, Tilly?" She didn't come back to herself until Ashes shook her twice.

"I'm fine, it's just a little...unbelievable," she shook her head, "Sylvie said that the lord of Border Town is very likely to be the real Roland Wimbledon, not someone controlled or replaced by a witch."

"Well, that stupid guy who tried to mess with me—cough cough, guy?" Ashes coughed twice, "He has indeed changed amazingly, obviously he hasn't seen him for a year, except for his appearance and impression, I feel the same It's like looking at someone else."

"Can you be more specific?"

Ashes tilted his head and thought for a long time, "I think...the biggest difference should be cleanliness."

"clean?"

"Whether it's the dress... or the way it feels. He doesn't like accessories like other nobles. Whether it's gold, silver or gems, he doesn't have any of them." Ashes recalled, "Even the clothes are very ordinary. , looks looser, without lace, ornaments and gold wire. If it weren't for his overly conspicuous hair color, he would be almost the same as an ordinary person. But...he is not like an ordinary person at all.

"Like a nobleman?" Tilly asked.

"No, it's not like a noble." Ashes curled his lips. "None of the nobles is clean. It's either a pool of stagnant water, or the mud covered under the stagnant water. As for him... I can't tell you the specifics, but he feels pretty good anyway. "

"It's hard to believe you're going to speak up for him."

"Well, I just wanted to answer your question seriously."

Tilly exhaled, it seems that her brother has indeed changed a lot, but what exactly caused his transformation? Or was it because of some reasons that he couldn't detect that made him unknowingly become another person?

The fifth princess suddenly remembered Roland's first letter - "For this reason, I must destroy the entire church, turn the saying that witches are evil into dust, and save all the people from folly and ignorance. This is a long process , I need more assistance from you. As for what made me make this decision, and what made me no longer be as indifferent to everything as in the past, I can talk about these trivial matters in detail when I have the opportunity."

Perhaps only by meeting in person can we know the real reason for this.

Withdrawing her thoughts, Tilly turned her gaze to the letter again.

The second half is about what Sylvie saw and heard in Border Town.

It turned out that the reason why Roland chose her was to find out the mineral resources, but in the mines on the north slope, he found a large amount of God's Stone of Retaliation—it turned out that this kind of stone, which can restrain the witch's ability, grew out of the ground like other ores. of. In this way, the Holy City of Hermes must also control such a mine vein, which can continuously produce God's Stone of Retaliation.

Further down, another message caught her attention.

A weapon that can shoot iron balls and crossbow bolts from iron pipes, which is extremely powerful and accompanied by deafening roars... Although Maggie and Ashes have both mentioned this kind of thing, this is the first time she has seen it Such a detailed description even has a hand-drawn schematic diagram under this passage.

"Oh? So the thing that shot me looked like this," Ashes leaned over his head, "Since you are an ally, you can ask him to send a batch of weapons to Sleeping Island in your reply letter, saying that it will be used to guard against the church. If he If you don't want to... hehe, this ally may not be as reliable as you think."

"Allies don't mean they are defenseless," Tilly laughed. "This weapon is obviously his security, so how could he give it to others so easily. This kind of temptation will only destroy the trust that has been built so hard—" The list of witch abilities I gave him didn't include Molly and Wind Whisper. Besides, we're going to Border Town anyway this winter, so it would be easier to speak in person, wouldn't it?"

"Okay," Ashes spread his hands, "You have the final say."

Tilly smiled and continued to read the letter.

When her eyes reached the end of the letter, she couldn't help but froze.

Roland actually invented a kind of underwear used to wrap women's breasts, and gave it to every adult woman in the Witch Union as a gift? This is simply too absurd! You must know that giving underwear is something only lovers do, how can he—— Wait, Tilly suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to have given corsets to some noble ladies when he was in the capital, and some of them were still alive. Being directly thrown in the face by others, it became a joke among the nobles for a while.

It sure looked like something he would do!

Tilly suddenly felt conflicted. On the one hand, he was more in line with the image in her memory, but on the other hand, she felt that it was better not to be in line.

Will he go to Border Town to meet him in winter? The five princes fell into distress.
