real brother.
Really... brother? how can that be
Tilly held the stationery in a daze, but her mind was completely unable to concentrate, and the thoughts in her mind surged like a tide.
Among the five children of the father Wimbledon III, Goron, Tifeco and Garcia are considered a circle due to their early birth. By the time Roland was born, the youngest Garcia was already six years old, so naturally he would not play with him again. It stands to reason that he should form another circle with Roland, but... In fact, this is not the case.
Her elder brother yearned for the two elder brothers and tried to integrate into their circle, but often ended up being the one who was bullied. This caused Roland's character to become distorted and irritable. Of course, this anger did not dare to be released on Goron and the others, and finally he could only vent on himself.
For example, instigating himself to steal his father's crown together, after being rejected, he must be annoyed and insulted, and sometimes he will fight each other. Later, her father found out, and after a hard lesson, she restrained a lot, but she still did all kinds of small actions to intimidate her.
These things may have been incomprehensible at the time, but in retrospect, Tilly just found it rather ridiculous and… childish.
When she was ten years old, she found a broken earthworm in her beloved shoe, and she finally decided to fight back when she couldn't bear it. She called Roland and shoved the earthworm into his mouth when he threatened her. Since then, the other party has never provoke her, and she is unwilling to pay attention to this brother.
Roland, who has grown up, still hasn't changed, or even worsened. She often hears about his playful deeds. In the rumors of the nobles, he is irritable, mean, and ignorant. Nothing but royal status. Tilly fully agrees with this evaluation... and she also knows that the other party's irritability and irritability are all manifestations of force, in order to cover up his greatest weakness, cowardice and cowardice.
However, such a person would actually stand on the side of the witch, sheltering a group of aliens called the devil's minions, even at the expense of the church
Tilly didn't know what to say for a while.
"Tilly, Tilly?" She didn't recover until Ashes shook her twice.
"I'm fine, it's just a little… unbelievable," she shook her head, "Silvy said that the lord of Border Town is most likely the real Roland Wimbledon, not someone controlled or replaced by a witch."
"Well, that stupid coughing guy who is trying to do something to me?" Ashes coughed twice, "He has indeed changed amazingly, he has only been seen for a year, and apart from his appearance and impression, I feel like he is in a Just look at another person."
"Can you be more specific?"
Ashes tilted her head and thought for a long time, "I think... the biggest difference should be cleanliness."
"clean?"
"Whether it's the way he dresses... or the way he feels. He doesn't like accessories like other nobles. Whether it's gold, silver or precious stones, he doesn't have one on him." Ash recalled, "Even the clothes are very ordinary. He looks looser, without lace, ornaments, or gold threads. If it weren't for his overly conspicuous hair color, he'd be almost like an ordinary person. But... He didn't look like an ordinary person at all.
"Like a noble?" Tilly asked.
"No, it doesn't look like a noble," Ash curled his lips. "None of the nobles are clean, either a pool of stagnant water, or the silt covered by the stagnant water. As for him... I can't tell you the specifics, but it feels pretty good."
"It's hard to believe you would speak for him."
"Uh, I just want to answer your question seriously."
Tilly exhaled, it seems that her brother has indeed changed a lot, but what caused his transformation? Or because of some reason that he couldn't detect, made him become another person unknowingly
The fifth princess suddenly remembered Roland's first letter. For this reason, I must destroy the entire church, turn the saying that witches are evil into dust, and save all the people from folly and ignorance. This is a long process and I need your more assistance. As for what made me make this decision, and what made me stop being as indifferent to everything as I used to be, these trivial things can be slowly elaborated when I have the opportunity.
Perhaps only by meeting in person can we know the real reason.
Recovering her thoughts, Tilly shifted her gaze to the letter again.
The second half is what Sylvie saw and heard in Border Town.
It turned out that the reason Roland chose her was to find out the mineral resources, but in the North Slope Mine, a massive amount of God's Punishment Stone was discovered. It turned out that this kind of stone that can suppress the witch's ability actually grows from the ground like other ores. In this way, the Holy City of Hermes must also control such a ore vein, which can continuously produce the Stone of God's Retaliation.
Further down, another message caught her attention.
A weapon that can fire iron balls and crossbow bolts from an iron tube, with great power and a deafening roar... Although Maisie and Ashes have mentioned this kind of thing, this is the first time she has seen it Detailed descriptions, and even hand-drawn schematics below this passage.
"Oh? It turns out that the thing that shot me looked like this," Ash put his head together, "since it's an ally, you can ask him to send a batch of weapons to Sleeping Island in your reply, and say it's used to guard against the church. If he If you don't want to... hum, this ally is probably not as reliable as you think."
"Being among allies doesn't mean being defenseless," Tilly laughed. "This kind of weapon is obviously his foundation, and how could it be easily handed over to others. This kind of temptation will only destroy the trust and friendship that we have finally built up. Moryl and Wind Whisper are not listed in the witch ability list for him. And we are going to Border Town this winter anyway, so it would be better to talk face-to-face then, wouldn't it?"
"Okay," Ashes said, "You have the final say."
Tilly smiled and continued to read the letter.
When her eyes swept to the end of the letter, she couldn't help but froze.
Roland actually invented a kind of underwear for wrapping women's breasts, and gave it as a gift to every adult woman in the Witch League? This is simply too absurd! You must know that giving personal clothes is something that only lovers do. How could he wait? Tilly suddenly remembered that when the other party was in the capital, it seemed that he had also given corsets to some noble ladies, and some of them were still used by others. It was thrown directly into the face, and it became a joke among the nobles for a while.
It really looks like something he would do!
Tilly suddenly felt entangled. On the one hand, he was more in line with the image in her memory, but on the other hand, she felt that it was better not to match.
Should I go to Border Town to see him in winter? The Fifth Princess was in distress. (., Your support is my biggest motivation.)
