Chapter 596 Free Homeland

Ashes showed a surprised expression, "Why do you ask this - I never thought of leaving you."

"I didn't mean that," Tilly knew she had misunderstood, "It's just purely from the point of view of preference...this isn't a bad place, is it?"

Ashes hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "It's not without reason that the Mutual Aid Society is willing to stay and serve Roland. But we are different, we have our own home—"

"There are only three endings to this war," Tilly interrupted her. "The first one is that we can't stop the God's Punishment Army's offensive and die in the northern border. It has nothing to do with us."

"You will never sleep in that kind of place, I swear on my life," Ashes hastily stretched out his hand to cover the mouth of the fifth princess, and even used honorifics in desperation.

Tilly looked at her with a smile, and said softly until she let go of her hand, "It's just a hypothetical, I don't think I will die at the hands of the church."

"Then don't say it," Ashes said worriedly, "You always say something..."

"It's a prophecy." Tilly walked to the small window in the kitchen, looking at the vibrant castle back garden, "so I put it at the front. The second situation is that Roland fails, but we all live In this way, the entire Graycastle will no longer be able to stop the church, and Neverwinter will be engulfed in flames, leaving him with only one place to go."

"Sleeping Island?"

"Well, we will continue to resist the oppression of the church there until the Battle of God's Will comes. The complete destruction is likely to be hundreds of years later, and that is also out of our control."

"What about the third..."

"The third is that we defeated the Church and uprooted the holy city of Hermes," Tilly said with a smile. "All witches can escape from the bullying and persecution and gain true liberation. When that day comes, The mission of Sleeping Island is over."

"Finish?"

"It originally existed as a retreat home for witches. After the church collapsed, we naturally didn't need to tie everyone up on the fjord island. In terms of living environment, the fjord is not a good place. There is a lack of supplies and the weather is changeable... Of course, Sleeping Island will not be abandoned, and Maleficent will continue to operate, but everyone can choose the city life they like, right?"

"Even if it is the abyss of hell full of demons, I will stay by your side."

"Is it the same in a world full of salted fish and fish soup?"

"Uh—" Ashes could not help but choke.

Tilly couldn't help laughing out loud, "Don't worry, I'll get tired of eating too, maybe I'll come to Neverwinter to live in Neverwinter for a while, just for a change."

"What are you talking about here?" Andrea pushed open the door and asked, only to see a wooden basin on her head, and she even changed into her bathrobe.

"What are you planning to do?" Ashes frowned.

"Take a bath," she curled her lips. "After staying on the boat for more than ten days, the salty smell on my body is almost overflowing. Of course, it's not surprising that some people don't notice it. Lady Tilly, you want to go with me ?"

"Okay," Tilly replied, "wait for me to change my clothes."

"Cough...then I'll go download it too," Ashes pretended to be casual and said.

"Please, I didn't invite you." Andrea gave her a blank look.

"I went with Tilly, not with you, don't get me wrong."

Seeing the two staring at each other, Tilly couldn't help thinking easily, if she could really defeat the church, everyone would be able to live a life like this.

*******************

Roland stayed in the office for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses until Nightingale shook the dried fish in front of him.

Tilly's elder brother screamed unpreparedly, and before the last farewell, she never acknowledged the identity of brother and sister, which made Roland quite puzzled in addition to joy—whether she really felt that she was the fourth prince, Or do you regard him as an elder brother in another sense?

"Isn't it just called brother?" Nightingale said disapprovingly, "If you want to hear it, I can call you that too."

You are three years older than me, what about the morals of a nobleman? Roland thought feebly, but the siblings sound pretty good too... Stop, this thought can't go any further, "Why do you think she suddenly changed her attitude?"

"Who knows, it's probably because you didn't take advantage of the Bloodfang Witch's dissatisfaction to split Sleeping Island and start a full-scale war with the church so soon. These actions are more proof of your sincerity than empty promises." Nightingale Shrugged, "But this is all my guess, maybe she just made a slip of the tongue."

Indeed, the reason is not important, the key is the fact. Anyway, in this way, the relationship between the two could become closer, and he had taken another solid step in his efforts to win over all the witches on Sleeping Island.

"Next, we should go see Hetty Morgan." He said.

...

Roland walked into the prison under the castle, and saw her lying on a bed made of straw and sleeping. The wound on her leg had healed, leaving only a large amount of red and black blood.

"In order to ensure Nana's safety, I knocked her out before treating her." Nightingale whispered in her ear, "Otherwise it would be too dangerous to remove the God's Stone of Retaliation. I heard another witch from the Bloodfang Society say, She also tried to take Andrea hostage when she was surrounded, otherwise she wouldn't have suffered like this."

"Well, you're doing the right thing."

As a powerful battle witch, Hetty's neck and wrists were locked with iron rings wrapped with the God's Stone of Retaliation. Without special tools, it was difficult to remove these locks.

According to Tilly, she can cause objects within ten paces to collapse inwards, causing deadly damage. This collapse is not affected by other external forces. When releasing the container, it makes no difference whether the shell is wood or metal-wood will be crushed by violent bending, and metal will be crushed into a ball.

What's more frightening is that it is also effective on living organisms. For example, the abdominal cavity and the chest cavity, which have internal gaps, will quickly fit together under the squeeze of the ability, and the internal organs will be squeezed out like ooze, which makes Roland can't help but Reminds me of squeezing toothpaste.

But to him, Hetty's ability is more suitable for staying in the factory, rather than fighting the enemy.

If a mold is stuffed into the raw material, she can easily function as a stamping machine, and this is just the simplest use. What if, through learning, she realizes that molecules and atoms are also full of gaps?

It's a pity that everything is too late.

"Wake her up," Roland said.

Nightingale nodded, dodged into the cage, lifted Hetty, and pulled her to the railing.

"I am Roland Wimbledon, the King of Graycastle." He looked down at her condescendingly, "Don't you have something to say to me alone, you can speak now."
