Chapter 495 Above the "Sea Line"

The Pretty Woman slowly approached the pier. Tilly walked out of the cabin and saw that the pier was already filled with witches to greet her.

"Lord Tilly, you are finally back!" Moriel was the first to pounce with the help of the magic servant.

"Ah, so cunning!" Honey shouted.

"That's right, where's the trajectory? Open the door quickly and let us pass!" Shadow followed.

"Stop making trouble, my abilities are not for you to use to harass Lady Tilly!"

A burst of laughter suddenly erupted from the crowd. Looking at the sincere smiles on everyone's faces, Tilly felt that the depression in her heart in the past few days had dissipated a lot.

No matter what, this is her home, a country formed by witches.

Walking onto the pier, Carmilla Darry greeted her, "You've been gone for so long, I was worried that you wouldn't come back."

"How could it be?" Tilly smiled, "I just didn't expect this Demonic Moon to last for such a long time. How about, is Sleeping Island okay?"

"Of course, since you gave it to me, I will naturally live up to your expectations," Carmilla said, stroking her chest, "Generally speaking, everything has improved, and opening "Maleficent" is indeed a good idea. idea. I will report the details to you later, but for now... I'd better leave you to all the witches," she blinked, "otherwise I will be eaten alive by them. "

As a noble from the royal capital, Carmilla is very good at managing affairs, and she is also the main executor of Tilly's call for witches. It is because of her that Tilly dares to leave the fjord for a long time and explore the western border of the kingdom. after all.

She shook her head helplessly and passed the "Big Butler of Sleeping Island". As soon as she raised her hand to everyone, she was surrounded by witches swarming up.

"Your Highness, have you seen your brother? How does he treat you?"

"I heard that there is also a witch organization in the town. Will they come and live with us?"

"The people in that remote town really don't lack food and clothing, and they all live in new houses?"

"It's great that you are back. Everyone misses you very much."

Tilly responded to everyone's questions and concerns one by one. It was not until Savi flew onto the pier with a pile of books that everyone turned their attention to these "priceless treasures."

"What is this?" someone asked curiously.

"Documents in ancient relics?"

"It doesn't look like it at all. The pages are all new. It's probably a legend, right?"

"Or a theater script? Seriously, I haven't seen a theater performance in a long time."

"Ah...but what if I can't read?"

Tilly clapped her hands and asked everyone to be quiet for the time being. "This is a gift from His Highness Roland Wimbledon to you - including reading and writing manuals, basic mathematics and natural principles! Simply put, they are knowledge!"

"Knowledge?"

Most of the witches looked confused. Only a few noble witches, including Carmilla, looked surprised, "Do you want to impart knowledge to everyone?"

Tilly nodded, "This is also the only shortcut to improve our own abilities."

Roland once mentioned that universal education is not an easy thing to achieve. It requires a lot of money and time. When people put down their work and spread out their books to learn how to read and write, it means that the territory is temporarily lost. In addition, encouraging them to actively learn also requires financial support, plus teachers’ salaries and school building construction, which together are not a small number. The most important thing is that unlike doing business, it will not show immediate results and requires the rulers to implement it over time.

But the changes it brings are impressive, both for ordinary people and even more so for witches. Tilly has already seen this in Border Town. Before heading to the Western Territory, she had never imagined that a group of ordinary civilians could be filled with such vitality and vitality.

After returning to the palace, just as she was about to start arranging the education popularization plan according to Shujuan's method, Ashes knocked on the door and said, "Lei Lei wants to see you."

"Ha, long time no see, Your Highness Tilly," Lei Lei still looked the same, with a hearty and friendly smile, "How are you, has this trip to the West solved the troubles in your heart?"

"To be honest, I haven't found the answer," Tilly smiled and shook her head. "He had reservations about me after all. But in the current situation, these things have become less important... By the way, you know the devil ?"

"Monsters emerging from hell?" Lei Lei raised his eyebrows, "I often hear in epics and legends that heroic knights step forward and use spears stained with dragon's blood to kill these ferocious and terrifying enemies. "

"This time, they're not book enemies," she breathed.

"Uh...what do you mean?"

"I don't know if those giant dragons exist, but devils - they are real," Tilly briefly told the story of the Witches' Union and the War of Divine Will. "The location of the four kingdoms is just in the past. The wilderness of the world, if we lose one more time, humanity will have no way out."

"Such a thing actually exists!" Lei Lei didn't say a word, and exclaimed in surprise after listening, "The ruins all over the place are all the work of witches, and Border Town actually found an ancient witch who lived more than four hundred years ago. ?This...this is really incredible! What you gained from this trip is simply more secrets than I discovered in my past life!"

Tilly was slightly startled, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid? Of course there will be..." he said excitedly, "But compared to the burning desire to explore in my heart, this fear is nothing! Hell, I really want to go to Graycastle in person and meet that person A living relic!”

The fifth princess was quite dumbfounded. The main purpose of going to the West was to see Agatha, not her own daughter. She didn't know whether to be happy or sad for Lightning.

"Without this experience of going to sea, I would probably have to give you the title of the greatest explorer of the fjord," Lei Lei sighed for a while and then said, "But... I also discovered something very remarkable."

"Please say."

“I went east of the Sea Line again. "

"Sea line?" Tilly asked in confusion, "What is that?"

"Ah, I forgot that you were still in Border Town when I came back last time." He touched the back of his head, "That is a cliff made of sea water, which divides the sea into two planes, but ships can travel freely on it. Like...a spider climbing the wall."

"What, this is impossible!"

"My reaction was the same as yours when I saw it for the first time, but the sea line does exist." Lei Lei said proudly, "What's even more incredible is that I piloted the Courage over the sea line and was lucky enough to witness the entire process of a rising tide—— If you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, you would never have imagined how spectacular the scene was at that time. The water flow gradually became faster, and finally rushed to the low point like falling off a cliff. If Moriel’s servants hadn’t protected the ship, I’m afraid the Spirit would have fallen on the spot. Got cut in half!"

"I turned the steering wheel so that the bow of the ship faced the direction of the incoming seawater. In addition, there was a strong wind blowing at the time. The two were actually maintained in an extremely delicate balance. The Spirit could not move forward one step further, but it would not be overwhelmed either. The water rushes down the cliff." He took a breath as he said this, as if he was recalling the excitement at that time, "Of course, the water line is not a real cliff. We have all seen what a waterfall looks like, with a straight curtain of water and splashing water. , and the roar of the water impact - but there is nothing there except the accelerating flow of sea water. I know clearly that even if the Spirit will be pushed to the waterline, it will just be the same process of climbing up, returning to The lower side.”

"Then what?" Tilly asked impatiently.

"Then the Whirlpool Sea was filled up - only by standing above the sea line can you see it all clearly," Lei Lei lowered his voice, "Three Gods above, I don't know how to describe the shock at that moment, the sea The height difference of the line has changed from tens of feet to several feet, and the sea surface below has risen. This is the truth of tides!" (To be continued.)
