After Tilly left the office, Roland let out a long breath.
Obviously speaking nonsense in a serious manner in front of a smart person is a very stressful thing, especially when you have to maintain a sincere and sincere expression throughout. Fortunately, Nightingale's report gave him a chance to breathe. The witches of Sleeping Island had all returned to the castle, and Roland took the opportunity to end the conversation.
"How about it, do you have a special feeling facing your witch sister?" Nightingale rolled over and sat on the table, looking down at the prince.
The latter rolled his eyes and said, "Is it a special feeling to be under pressure
"I thought it was a touching reunion," she pouted.
"I don't have a good relationship with her," Roland sighed. "I used to bully her when I was in the palace. When I grow up, I'm no different from a stranger. It's a surprise that she's here."
"Oh?" She said meaningfully, "You don't get along with other strange witches alone. I think you trust her quite a bit."
That's because he didn't want you to see me lying, Roland didn't answer, he refilled his teacup, leaned back in the chair and took a slow sip.
"Anyway...you'll understand later."
Nightingale reached out and touched his lips, "You'll tell me everything, right?"
"… Um."
"I accept this promise," she chuckled, then disappeared in front of Roland.
Roland leaned back in his chair and recalled the entire conversation, looking for possible mistakes. This was the most suitable explanation he could think of. Years of work experience told him that the more lies he made up, the less able it would be to stand up to scrutiny. Therefore, it would be difficult to justify such claims that he deliberately hid when he was a child, accidentally found ancient books, or was taught by hermits. In addition to being his own sister, the other party is also the leader of the witch organization. Before the two sides form a stable ally, any lies that are exposed will bring a heavy blow to trust.
So he chose to tell the truth about the details that might be debunked, and all the extra knowledge was pushed to the sudden memory. Although it sounds incredible, at least there are not many negative effects compared to the more incredible time travel, and it cannot be proved. pseudo. If it is the latter, whether she can accept a completely strange visitor from another world remains to be seen.
As long as he insisted on the identity of the fourth prince of Graycastle, no one could deny it. And what she wanted was probably just her own explanation. Roland knew in his heart that a good leader would not be entangled in the past all the time, and working together is the most important thing. This winter can let her see the broad prospects of the West, and her sincerity in cooperation is a successful meeting. As for the relationship between them, there will be a lot of time to repair in the future.
In the evening, a grand banquet was held in the castle hall.
Not to mention the common pepper steak, fried egg and white bread, all kinds of white wine, pan-fried bird's snout mushrooms, xiaolongbao and ice cream are all on the scene, raising the taste of the dishes to a new level, and introducing fancy styles on the plate The concept of a platter, a large china plate contains a small piece of staple food drenched in sauce. The visual effect is excellent, and it makes people feel that the index finger is moved at a glance.
Amidst the intertwining of dendrobium and candles, the banquet ended in a harmonious and lively atmosphere.
What follows is a more formal meeting.
In the living room, the fireplace was burning brightly. Roland and the members of the Witch Alliance sat in a row at the long table, while Tilly and the witch of Sleeping Island sat in the opposite row. Due to the sensitivity of her identity, Maisie simply turned into a dove and squatted on top of her head. on the chandelier.
Tilly took the lead and said, "In addition to helping Border Town to resist the invasion of evil beasts, I also intend to bring back the five witches I sent before." She briefly recounted the recent situation of Sleeping Island. Yuewan will move a group of ordinary people to the island, and the extra housing and food will need to be solved by lotus and honey."
Roland felt a big headache. The first army can also defend against evil beasts. Except for the flexible and tall hybrids, there is almost no need for witches to come out. But in terms of construction, the role of witches is irreplaceable. Now the port and hills have not been opened up, the dock is only half repaired, and he wants to build more batches of cave dwellings, "Can it be delayed by half a month
"I really wanted to agree, but the situation has changed," Tilly shook her head helplessly. "There is a mutant water ghost in the southern cape. You can think of it as a kind of fish-species evil beast. I suspect that all this It is related to the early evil moon, it is said that the longer the evil moon is, the more ferocious and terrifying the evil beasts will be, so it is safer for them to hit the road early."
"None of them are fit to fight."
"I know, so Zefeng's ability to escort her with the boat is very effective against low-intelligence enemies, and we don't plan to go back the same way, but go all the way north along the coastline, and then take the usual trade route after arriving at the Clear Water Port. Go to Sleepy Island. According to the news from the bird messenger, there are no evil beasts on the route between the fjord and the kingdom."
Roland had to make his last effort, "Uh...then besides Lian and Honey, can the other three stay? Elementary education is just halfway through. If you leave now, it's like giving up halfway..."
"Pfft," Tilly couldn't help laughing, "It seems that you like them quite a bit."
"..." He didn't know how to respond to this sentence.
"I want to ask, how did you use Candlelight and Evelyn's abilities?"
"Solid metal parts and wine, the former can greatly improve the efficiency of mechanical operation, the latter..." Roland paused for a while, "Wine is a very good thing. Besides drinking, it has many uses."
"And they were always worried that their abilities would be unavailable in Sleeping Island, and they would often..." Tilly did not continue, but Roland guessed that it was related to discrimination, just like what happened to Mystery Moon when she was in the mutual aid society. "I'm very happy to hear that you keep them like this. Sure enough, every witch has a unique role, and their abilities are not meaningless." She looked at Evelyn and the others. "What do you think?"
"I hope to follow you, Lord Tilly." Sylvie said.
"I..." Candlelight touched his head, "Anywhere."
"Lord Tilly, if you need me, I will return to Sleeping Island," Evelyn replied after a moment of silence, "Besides that, I want to stay in Border Town. I… there are many things I want to ask Scroll teacher learns."
"Don't be so nervous, I'm not asking you to choose whether to stay or stay. It's not a matter of choosing one or the other," Tilly smiled and shook her head, "I just want to know about your life in the town. You can come back at any time. Sleeping Island, Lotus and Honey will definitely not be gone forever. I even want to invite the witches from Border Town to visit Sleeping Island. I hope that through our efforts, witches can live freely in the north and the south in the future. Do you think I'm right? Brother."
Roland was slightly taken aback. This was the first time he heard the other party call him that publicly. Even with the memory of the fourth prince, it was more than ten years ago. He smiled and nodded, "There will be such a day.".
