Ash sat on the top of the castle, waiting for the duel day to come.
In the past few days, her persuasion has made no progress. The stubbornness of the witches of the mutual aid society has greatly exceeded her expectations. Whether it is an older Scroll or an underage Lily, they have rejected her invitation. The only difference is that , there are different ways of rejecting it.
Some chose to stay because of Roland, and some did not want to leave the sisters of the mutual aid society, which made the ten witches look like an iron plate. As for Anna and Nana, who originally belonged to Border Town, she was not even in the mood to try. Especially the former, when Ash stood in front of her, the magic power she felt was completely different from the previous witches. The magic power in Anna's body was like hard steel, smooth and dense, like an iron wall spanning between the two.
Among the many witches Tilly had summoned, no one had ever given her such a feeling. As a result of inquiring from other witches, Ana's ability to control flames is the most common. Why the invisible flame made her feel like a physical barrier in terms of magic power, Ashes was puzzled.
As for this town, it was also very different from any town or village I had seen before. If I have to describe it, it is full of energy here, and people seem to have endless things to do every day.
She can look at the panoramic view of the town from the top of the castle. New houses are being built in the most densely populated places in the town center. They have turned the well-planned site into a community, and the houses in each community are similar. The carriages transporting the bricks from the north did not stop for a moment. The masons dug a dozen or so pits of the same shape at a time, and then started to build bricks. The speed of this construction was astonishingly fast. It took almost a day to build them. Out of a half-height perimeter.
And looking to the northeast, the billowing smoke rising into the sky is not a fire in the forest, but a brick kiln at work. There are also several particularly sturdy brick towers being erected. At first glance, they look like piles of red giant trees that have been cut down.
On the riverbank pier, several sailboats arrive at Border Town every day. Judging from the flags hanging on the masts, most sailboats come from Changsong Fortress. The cargo unloaded from the ship almost filled the yard, and a team of guards with wooden guns patrolled around the yard. Unlike most city guards, they didn't walk idly for a while, or simply find a place to hide and take a nap. He will also take the initiative to help unload the goods. In Ashes' memory, it is a scene that has never been seen before.
What kind of magic does Roland Wimbledon have that can make these territorial residents show such enthusiasm for building a desolate and barren town
At this moment, there was a cooing of birds overhead, Ash looked up, and saw a huge fat pigeon descending from the sky and landed on her shoulder.
"Finally found you Coo." Dove rubbed her cheek.
"Tilly sent you here?" Ash took out a handful of wheat from his pocket and threw it on the roof.
The pigeon flew over and suddenly seemed to realize something, "I'm not a bird!"
"Then become a human and talk to me."
"Okay," As soon as the voice fell, the pigeon's feathers swelled suddenly, white light shone through the gaps in the feathers, and then a head came out, and the swollen feathers shrank rapidly, turning into a long bunch of white light. send.
No matter how many times you watch it, Ashes will be amazed. Maisie, a witch who can transform into all kinds of birds, except that her body will grow bigger, all other details are beautiful. Sometimes she even envied the ability of the other party. Compared with the extraordinary magic power of the Stone of God's Punishment, she was more eager to travel between two places quickly. In that case, as long as she wanted to see Tilly, she could set off anytime, anywhere.
"Even with the tracking sigil, it's not that easy to locate your direction," Maisie shook the fluff stuck to her body, "The distance is far away, and my magic stone statue can hardly feel the sigil fluctuation. Fortunately, the shadow knows your approximate whereabouts. I have been flying over the Falling Dragon Ridge, and this statue has some reaction."
In addition to her trademark white hair, her biggest feature is her short stature. She is obviously an adult, but up to her waist, she also looks like a little girl. As long as the white hair is untied, almost her entire body can be wrapped in it.
"Has Tilly arrived at the fjord safely?" Ash sat down and patted the tiles beside him. To facilitate like a bird, obediently leaned over.
"The Queen she was on arrived successfully, but the second Northwind horn touched a reef when it docked, but no witches were killed. The third and fourth ships are still at sea. When I came to you, I heard from them. It flew overhead."
"That's good." Ashes felt relieved. Although His Royal Highness Prince's face was disgusting, he was right about one thing, that is, the voyage from Graycastle to the fjord was full of danger. The climate changes in the sea are far faster and more violent than those on land. The good weather of thousands of miles of clear skies can set off a storm in the blink of an eye. Under the overwhelming waves, the extraordinary power is also insignificant.
"Your speech is the same," Maisie spread her hands, "Yuying said that you couldn't go back together because you wanted to go to Border Town to win over more witches, not because of a situation. The first sentence of Lord Tilly was also that. Okay." She paused, looking around, "Where are the companions? Where are they?"
"They don't want to leave," Ashes sighed and briefly recounted what happened. "They believe in the lord of this place, Tilly's brother, more than me."
"Lord Tilly is willing to accept us, and her brother is also willing to accept us... Well, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing," she tilted her head. "In that case, you should leave for the fjord earlier. Without your help , Lady Tilly can't start the cleaning plan."
Ashes shook his head, "I won't leave until after the competition."
"But you just said that even if you win, the other party won't take the initiative to drive the witch away, right?" Maisie muttered, "Do you have to complete the competition then?"
"If there is a chance, I would like to try it," Ashes said calmly. "The cleaning plan will not affect it for a few days at night, but if I can bring back one more witch, Tilly's power will expand a lot."
"Okay," Maisie nodded, "then I'll be here waiting for you to go back with you. But there is one thing to be aware of. When I passed through the Falling Dragon Ridge, I saw a group of people holding the flag of the church, about ten people. about."
"Not many people... The flag is raised, it should be an envoy," Ashes snorted coldly, "Except for Border Town, I don't think there is any other place nearby where the church needs to send an envoy. Their noses are as sensitive as dogs. Wait until I defeat his knight cleanly and tell him the news of the coming church. By then, Roland Wimbledon will know how wrong he is." (.
