After the hanging basket fell to the ground, a witch who looked about thirty years old with red hair hanging down to her waist stepped out of the basket and greeted her, "Hello, welcome to Border Town, I'm Wendy." Looking at Ashes, with a happy smile, "You are here too."
Is she the witch Ashes mentioned earlier? Sylvie looked at the two thoughtfully, and it seemed that they had known each other for a long time.
"Welcome, I'm Anna." Sylvie's eyes lit up with the appearance of another witch, those blue eyes as pure as lake water were really eye-catching. But what made her more concerned was that the opponent's magic power was huge, thick, and almost flawless. A block composed of black, white and gray slowly turned, and even the magic power gathered around was distorted by it.
How amazing is this power? It was the first time Sylvie had seen such oppressive magic.
"Hi, my name is Lightning!" It was this little girl who was flying beside the gondola, and Maisie followed her and landed on her shoulder.
"Cuckoo!"
After Ash briefly introduced the witch of Sleeping Island, Wendy smiled and invited everyone to board the hanging basket.
"This huge air bag above the head is called a hot air balloon. As long as it can provide it with hot air, it can take everyone over the mountains and reach the destination." She paused for a while and asked towards Ashes, "You really don't want to go small. Would you like to see it in town? I think His Highness would also like to see you again."
"He won't welcome someone who plans to poach his witch," Ashes smiled. "These children will be yours to take care of."
"Really..." Wendy pursed her lips with a look of regret, "Don't worry, I will treat them well."
"Then everyone hurry up," Anna reminded, "Yaowang is about to lift off."
Sylvie only felt a slight tremor under her feet. The hanging basket had already left the ground. She stuck her head out and saw Ash and Moriel waving to them. As the hot air balloon continued to rise, the scene on the ground became smaller and smaller. , the two soon turned into fingernail-sized spots. Anyway, a new life will soon begin.
Wendy's ability seemed to be controlling the wind, and under her control, the hot air balloon moved towards the inland direction of Greycastle.
It was the first time for Sylvie to overlook the earth from the air. Although neither the earth nor the rocks could stop her from exploring, it was a novel experience to see such a wide field of vision at one time. She tried to summon the magic eye, but she did not expect the chaotic scene to flood into her mind like a tide, the steep rock wall hidden in the depths of the sea, the underground river connected to the sea, the animal bones buried in the soil, and the changes in the underground rock formations... These pictures suddenly made Sylvie feel a splitting headache, and the magic power in the body dropped sharply. She quickly interrupted the magic eye, leaning against the basket and gasping for breath.
"Are you okay?" someone asked. She opened her eyes and found that it was Wendy.
"Well, just a little… dizzy."
"It's better to take a few deep breaths," Wendy smiled. "Many people feel uncomfortable the first time they're away from the ground."
"Thank you, I'm better," Sylvie nodded.
The atmosphere along the way was much more harmonious than she originally expected, just like Ashes said, Wendy cared about everyone and would not treat them differently because they were newcomers. Although Anna doesn't talk much, as long as someone asks her a question, she will still answer it seriously. Lightning seems to be very close to Maisie, and her personality is also very lively. From time to time, she will fly into the hanging basket with fat pigeons and chat with everyone, not treating herself as a stranger at all.
With Maisie acting as a bond between the two sides, the other four gradually relaxed, and they all asked Lightning about the situation in Border Town. In the end, the little girl simply hovered by the hanging basket and told everyone the story of the town's fight against evil beasts and invaders, as well as the incredible inventions of His Royal Highness, which made everyone stunned.
It didn't take long for the hot air balloon to arrive over the castle.
Judging from the size alone, this town is indeed worthy of the term borderline. It is both small and remote, and its scale is less than one-third the size of Sleeping Island. However, there are a lot of townspeople, no matter in the central square, the periphery of the city wall or the river bank, you can see groups of people everywhere. They ran to and fro, converging into a surging stream.
The hot air balloon landed directly in the courtyard of the castle. As soon as he stepped out of the gondola, a roar suddenly sounded. Sylvie, who was caught off guard, was taken aback and froze in place for a while. The other four were not much better. Honey even flipped back into the basket and asked, "What happened?"
Wendy couldn't help laughing out loud, "Don't worry, this is His Highness playing a salute, you are welcome to come."
Passing through the corridor full of greenery and entering the castle hall, Sylvie finally saw Tilly's brother. He was sitting on the main seat of the hall. The appearance looked a bit similar to Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, and it was also gray. There are no extra pendants on his body, and his expression looks relaxed and natural. Although his face was far less pleasing to the eyes than Mrs. Tilly's, it had a calm aura, and it was enough to catch everyone's attention just by sitting there.
"Welcome to Frontier Town, I'm the lord of the West, Roland Wimbledon, you must already know my name." He got up and smiled, "Tilly Wimbledon is my sister, so you don't need to feel restrained. , just treat the town as a sleeping island."
Sylvie couldn't help but opened the magic eye, and then couldn't help but startled.
The expected darkness did not appear, the other party did not wear the Stone of God's Retaliation, and there was no trace of magical activity on his body. Neither disguised nor controlled, this only shows that the man in front of him is Roland himself.
In the countermeasures that Lord Tilly explained to her, there was only one sentence for the situation where no clues were found: Send the news back to Sleeping Island.
…
What Roland said next, she didn't listen at all, and her head was a mess. In order to fulfill Lord Tilly's entrustment, she even thought about the words and expressions when negotiating, and even prepared to be imprisoned, but she didn't expect it to be of no use at all. Next, as long as you wait until the end of the month and let Maisie bring this information back, the mission will be completed.
But how is this possible? A true aristocrat, actually determined to protect the witch? And become the leader of the mutual aid society
The psychological gap made Sylvie a little dazed, and she didn't recover until His Highness arranged the sleeping room for the night.
"The situation is roughly like this. The witch building has not yet been completed, so you can only temporarily live in the castle and share a room with other witches. Of course, this will also facilitate you to quickly integrate into the life of the town." Roland said, "Today There will also be a sumptuous dinner waiting for everyone in the evening, as a formal welcome gift for everyone to come to Border Town, enjoy it well."
Sylvie was relieved by the result of the separation. She was finally arranged to live with Wendy. Judging from this brief contact, Wendy was indeed a good senior, and it should be easier to get along with her. But besides her, there seemed to be a witch named Nightingale living in the room.
Hope that the other party is also easy to get along with, Sylvie couldn't help thinking. (., Your support is my biggest motivation.)
