Roland spread out the letter and handed Maisie a piece of beef jerky.
"Gugu!" The latter opened his mouth and took the jerky, swallowed it two or three times, then obediently leaned over to the table and buried his head in the feathers.
Good to see the letter, dear brother, or, "His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon".
I have received your letter, and I fully agree with your opinion. Although I don't know why you suddenly changed your temper, and changed your previous playful style, you are willing to help the witch, but since you have done so, the church has become our common enemy.
As you may already know, I became a witch, and that's why people believe in me. But you are a prince, an out-and-out nobleman, and it is incredible that you can gain the trust of many witches. Ever since I heard about you, I have often wondered, how on earth did you do this? If you use witches as tools like other nobles, then it is impossible to gain Ashes' approval, and she will not choose to let Maisie stay in Border Town.
In addition, I am also very interested in the steam engine mentioned by Maisie and the statement that knowledge promotes the evolution of ability. Especially the latter, I hope to have the opportunity to discuss this with you in detail.
As for your invitation, I thought again and again and found that I had no reason to refuse. The establishment of an alliance requires trust and dedication. If we all hesitate and cringe, it will only end up taking advantage of the church. Therefore, I have attached most of the abilities of the auxiliary witches in Sleeping Island to the back of the letter in the form of a list. You can choose the abilities you need the most and tell me through Maisie. If all goes well, they will leave for your territory next month. For security reasons, it is best not to exceed five digits at a time.
Also, please specify a reliable pick-up plan and send someone to protect it. Every time a witch is lost, it is a great loss for Border Town and Sleeping Island, and it will also cast a shadow on our cooperation. I hope you can take good care of them as you take care of your witches. If you can, please let them also participate in the basic knowledge class in the evening. I believe that if any witch's ability can become stronger, it will be good news for us.
As you said, the church has already tried to make ends meet, and it will be a matter of time before the annexation of the four kingdoms. Hopefully, when that day comes, you'll be ready to deal with it. If it's hard to resist, Sleepy Island is your haven of refuge. Of course, I will also help as much as possible in the fight against the church invasion.
Finally, may we end the oppression of the church and build a new order, a new kingdom where not only witches, but no one will suffer unwarranted persecution.
Your sister, Tilly Wimbledon.
Roland put down the stationery, and the joy in his heart was indescribable. He put away the stationery with a smile, and took out a piece of beef jerky and stretched it out to Maisie.
She immediately stuck her head out and pecked away the food. "Goo, goo!"
He touched the silky feathers on the back of the other's neck, and the latter narrowed his eyes comfortably.
"It's hard work, but Lightning followed the fleet to the capital, and it should take a few days to come back," Roland smiled, "You can go to Nana or Ye Zi to play, or go to the bathroom to take a bath and get some sleep first. ."
"Gu... gu!" Maisie fluttered her wings, then jumped up from the table, flew out of the window, and quickly disappeared.
The words she just said should be not tired. I'm going to play with them. Roland found that even if the other party was talking in a pigeon state, he could understand the general meaning.
… is this the power of habit
Having said that, he never expected that Tilly would actually agree to his invitation, and also attached a list of witches' abilities. This is simply a great treasure trove! Although the letter did not specify how long they could stay, it would take the first half of the year to complete the entire primary education course. If you add another 100,000 why, and extend the course to one year, how much change can these witches bring to Border Town
And after they evolve, the benefits to themselves far outweigh the disadvantages. Staying in the town can effectively promote development. Even if they are returned to Sleeping Island, it is a living propaganda sign. With these people's word of mouth, the number of witches willing to go to Border Town will only increase, and Tilly can't stop this trend. Roland believes that sincerity is the real long-term solution, rather than coercion or coercion.
All in all, this reply brought him a far greater surprise than expected. The other party's openness and positivity gave him a feeling of meeting God's teammates. In this way, he was no longer alone in fighting against the church. As for the safe pick-up and drop-off route, he had already considered properly avoiding Bishui Port or Haifeng County, and landed directly from the unmanned Bund south of Border Town. After arriving at the mountain area, take a hot air balloon to cross the mountain and go directly to the hinterland of the town. You don't need to pay attention to the forces of the church, Tifeco or Garcia.
The more he thought about it, the more excited Roland became. He resisted the urge to immediately browse the appendix to select witches, and focused his attention on what he had to do at present. After all, the next month would be the next month to send witches from Sleeping Island, and the most urgent problem facing Border Town was housing construction.
Ever since the First Army went to the capital, a steady stream of escapees from there have arrived in the town. In order to prevent the recurrence of the evil epidemic, Roland arranged for them to be located outside the city wall of the Western Region, where a long string of wooden sheds had been set up for the escapees to live in temporarily. In addition to the serfs who farmed by the Chishui River, the total number of the two groups has exceeded 8,000. If the escapees are transported for a few more days, this number is likely to exceed the 10,000 mark.
There is no problem in supplying food for these people. After all, Border Town has not interrupted the import of food since the month of the demon, but the accommodation problem is obviously a big trouble. It's summer now, and I can live in a simple wooden shed. In addition to sunshade and rain, it is very ventilated, but there are more mosquito bites. But once winter comes, the wooden shed is almost no different from the open air, what temperature is outside, what is the temperature inside the wooden shed. If they are not moved into brick houses, I am afraid most people will not survive the long winter. In other words, Border Town must build housing and dormitories for 10,000 people in the remaining six months.
Roland spread out a piece of paper and began to write quickly.
He intends to mobilize some of the workers who built the Kingdom Avenue to build housing. After all, the road is not a problem for ten days and a half months at night, and people who freeze to death in the territory are a complete stain on their political performance. Even when they first crossed over, they were faced with the difficult situation of asking for money, but no money, and no one. No one froze to death or starved to death in the first month of demons. Now, with the witch alliance and steam engine, as well as abundant income and manpower, Naturally, he would not allow this to happen.
Just then, Carter suddenly walked into the office.
"His Royal Highness, there is bad news," he said with a serious look, "your chemical laboratory exploded just now." (.,, Your support is my greatest motivation.)
