The next day, Roland bid farewell to Lotus and Honey in the back garden of the castle.
Although he didn't want the two to leave so soon, after hearing that the Pretty Woman was still waiting in the shoal, he decided not to delay any further. This would at least show his generosity and would not make Tilly feel embarrassed. Putting himself in his shoes, it was a sign of sincerity for the other party to send important witches to Border Town before the Sleeping Island needed large-scale construction. In this case, he couldn't be too demanding.
In order to avoid the long journey in the snow, Anna and Wendy were the ones who sent them aboard. If they were transported by the Far View, they could reach the shoal in half an hour.
"Thank you for your care over the past few months," the two bowed in front of Roland.
"I should thank you all," Roland smiled. "You have made a lot of contributions to the construction of Border Town. I have two gifts for you."
"Ceremony, gift?" Lian was slightly taken aback, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
Honey touched her chest, then glanced at Yanlian, and asked excitedly, "Can we have it too?"
Roland took two bags from Nightingale and handed them to each other, "Well, both."
Honey couldn't wait to take it apart, and pulled out a long white cloth belt from it, "Hey, what is this, isn't it a corset?"
"Ahem, this is a scarf," he stepped forward and picked up the cotton woven belt, wrapping it around her neck, "This way, you won't be afraid of cold wind and snowflakes getting into your neck. .A little thicker to cover the ears."
"Um... so warm," the latter shouted contentedly.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lian's face turned even redder.
"There's something inside," Honey played with the scarf for a while, then took out a small cube from the bag, "Your Highness, is this also a gift?"
"Yes, open it and take a look."
"Wow, it's so bright!" She raised the tin box and said cheerfully, "Lian, look, you can clearly see yourself!"
It was a small mirror embedded in a wooden box, and it was also one of the commodities that was put into the convenience market. In Roland's life experience, as long as a woman is a woman, she can't resist this shiny thing.
Honey's voice attracted the attention of the other witches, and soon the witches on Sleeping Island gathered in a group, looking at their appearance in the vanity mirror, their uncontrollable love and admiration overflowed. The crystal glass mirror made of Ya's coating is much better than the silver mirror in terms of reflectivity and overall imaging, which also allowed Roland to see a new way to buy.
After the gift was delivered, the hot air balloon was also inflated. The two boarded the hanging basket and waved goodbye to Roland and the witches. It can be seen that they feel a little reluctant to leave the town.
"I have to say, this is really a good place," Tilly walked to him and whispered, "Convenient water supply, comfortable rooms, it's hard to believe that you have transformed a poor place into a poor place in just one year. the way it is now.”
"You regret it?"
"You mean sending witches to the town?" she laughed. "How could I possibly regret it if I could make their lives better. Don't forget, I'm also a witch."
In the white garden, Tilly's smile was like a clean snowflake, so beautiful that it didn't have a trace of color. If there is such a sister in the future, the rate of returning to take it out is absolutely 100%. But Roland knew in his heart that her relationship with him was more like a collaborator and a natural ally than her sister's identity. It can be seen from her decision yesterday that in order to deal with possible threats, she even dared to go to dangerous places in person.
"Are you really going to such a dangerous place?" Roland asked, "Although you are an extraordinary witch, your abilities are not suitable for fighting, right?"
"Don't worry, I'm not completely incapable of protecting myself," Tilly stretched out her hands and showed the accessories in her hands to the prince. She saw that she was wearing a blue crystal ring on the ring finger of her left hand, and a white silk glove on her right hand. A red gemstone is embedded on the back. To be honest, this combination looks extraordinarily strange, and the asymmetrical dress is like a mix and match style popular on the catwalks of later generations. He was very curious about it yesterday, but he didn't ask for it out of politeness.
"This is a magic stone, a strange stone found in ancient ruins," she explained. "After infusing magic power, it can display different abilities, such as this ring, which allows me to fly freely like lightning."
After speaking, she seemed to be proving what she said, her feet slowly lifted off the ground, and her body was suspended in mid-air as if weightless. Roland was startled by this sight.
Ability can actually be changed by a stone
He quickly realized the great significance contained in it.
If the ability can be customized in batches, the work efficiency of the witch will be greatly improved. Take Lian as an example. If the Witch Union can have a magic stone that simulates the power of the lotus, it only takes one day to complete the construction of the temporary residential area.
After Tilly landed, she pointed her right hand at a clearing, and saw a bright lightning burst from her fingertips, knocking the ankle-deep snow out of a hole the size of a bowl, revealing the dark ground below.
"So you can have two abilities at the same time?" Roland was surprised.
"No," Tilly shook her head, "The magic stone only allows one ability to appear within a certain range. If I inject magic power into two stones at the same time, nothing will happen." Then she smiled, "I originally I didn't plan to break this news to you so soon, but after last night's meeting, I think I may have misunderstood you... I'm glad you can tell the truth about the ancient ruins... and a little apology."
"It's okay, I can understand."
"By the way, I'm a little concerned, what is the corset that Honey said just now?"
Roland almost choked on his saliva, "Cough, I don't know... Maybe you can ask Sylvie or Evelyn."
"Okay," Tilly shrugged, "It seems that you still have reservations about me."
The prince was dumbfounded for a while.
"Stop talking about this," she said with a wink. "I've been thinking about a question last night. If these ruins belong to the church, why did they abandon all the magic stones? According to Ash's experience, the church is probably also raising them. Witches, these things are also of great use to them. Even if they run away from a battle with the devil and deliberately bury the result of the war, it does not prevent them from continuing to use these stones. It makes no sense."
"The church doesn't care about this loss?" Roland pondered, but he quickly rejected his opinion, "No, they shouldn't be able to mass-produce this kind of magic stone, otherwise they should have used the Get on them. After all, if you can fly, most people can't escape the pursuit of the church witch."
"Indeed, I recalled all the books about the church and the gods in the library of the lower palace, and found something very strange... Their historical records not only stop at more than 400 years ago, but even the origins of the gods are ambiguous. Famous name, no epic legend, no more details except to publicize that it is omnipotent and omniscient. At least compared to the ancient three gods, it seems much more ethereal. Join the two together , can not help but make people have a strange feeling.
"What?" Roland froze in his heart.
"The church is like popping up out of nowhere.".
