The Pretty Beauty slowly approached the pier, Tilly walked out of the cabin, and saw that the pier was already full of welcoming witches.
"Lord Tilly, you're finally back!" With the help of the magical servant, Moriel was the first to pounce.
"Ah, how cunning!" cried Honey.
"That's right, where's the trajectory? Open the door and let us go too!" Shadow coaxed.
"Don't make trouble, my ability is not for you to harass Lord Tilly!"
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd. Looking at the sincere smiles on everyone's faces, Tilly felt that the depression in her heart had also dissipated a lot in the past few days.
In any case, this is her homeland, a kingdom formed by witches.
Walking on the pier, Camila Derry greeted her, "You've been gone for a long time. I'm worried that you won't come back."
"How could it be," Tilly laughed, "I just didn't expect this Devil's Moon to last so long. What, is Sleeping Island okay?"
"Of course, since you handed it over to me, I will naturally live up to your expectations," Camilla said, stroking her chest, "In general, everything has improved, and it is indeed a good idea to open Sleeping Charm. I'll report the details to you later, but for now... I'd better hand you over to all the witches," she blinked, "or I'll be eaten alive by them."
As a great noble from the capital, Camilla is very good at managing affairs, and she is also the main executor in Tilly's call for witches. It is because of her that Tilly dares to leave the fjord for a long time and go to the western border of the kingdom. after all.
She shook her head helplessly, passed the "Big Housekeeper of Sleeping Island", and just raised her hand to the crowd, she was surrounded by layers of witches.
"His Royal Highness, have you seen your brother, how does he treat you?"
"I heard that there are also witch groups in the town. Will they come and live with us?"
"The people in that desolate town really don't lack food and clothing, and they all live in new houses?"
"As long as you come back, everyone misses you very much."
Tilly responded to everyone's questions and concerns one by one, and it was not until Sha Wei flew to the dock with a pile of books that everyone turned their attention to these "priceless treasures".
"What is this?" someone asked curiously.
"Ancient relic offering?"
"It doesn't look like it anyway. The pages are all new, maybe it's a legendary story?"
"Or a theater script? Seriously, it's been a long time since I've seen a theater performance."
"Ah... But what if I can't read?"
Tilly clapped her hands and made everyone quiet for a while, "This is a gift from His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon, including reading and writing manuals, basic mathematics and natural principles! In short, they are knowledge!"
"Knowledge?"
Most of the witches looked confused, only a few noble witches including Camilla looked surprised, "Do you want to impart knowledge to everyone?"
Tilly nodded, "This is also the only shortcut to improve our own abilities."
Roland once mentioned that universal education is not an easy thing to achieve. It requires a lot of money and time. When people put down their work and spread out their books to learn how to read and write, it means that a part of the territory is temporarily lost. Labor force; in addition, encouraging them to actively study also requires financial support, plus teacher salaries and school building construction, the combination is not a small number. The most important thing is that it is not like doing business, it will not show immediate effect, and it needs to be implemented by those in power in the long run.
But the changes it brought were impressive, for ordinary people, and even more so for witches, which Tilly had already seen in Border Town. Before she went to the West, she had never imagined that a group of ordinary civilians could radiate such vitality and vitality.
After returning to the palace, just when she was about to start arranging the education popularization plan according to the book's practice, Ashes knocked on the door, "Leiting wants to see you."
"Ha, long time no see, Your Highness Tilly," Lei Ting was still the same old man, with a hearty and cordial smile, "How, has this trip to the Western Border solved your troubles?"
"To be honest, I didn't find the answer," Tilly shook her head with a smile. "After all, he has reservations about me. It's just that under the current situation, these things have become less important... By the way, do you know the devil? ?"
"Monsters from hell?" Lei Ting raised his eyebrows and said, "It is often heard in epic and legendary stories that heroic knights stand up and use spears stained with dragon blood to kill these ferocious and terrifying enemies. "
"This time, they're not enemies on the books anymore." She breathed out.
"Uh... what do you mean?"
"I don't know if those giant dragons exist, but the devils are real," Tilly briefly recounted the events of the Witches Union and the Battle of Divine Will, "The location of the Four Kingdoms is nothing but the wild past. Earth, one more loss, and humanity will have nowhere to go."
"There's actually such a thing!" Lei Ting didn't say a word, and only exclaimed after hearing it, "The ruins all over the place are all from the handwriting of witches, and Border Town actually found an ancient witch more than 400 years ago? This... this is unbelievable! You've learned more from this trip than the secrets I've uncovered in my entire life!"
Tilly was slightly taken aback, "Aren't you afraid?"
"Fear? Of course there will be..." he excitedly said, "but compared to the burning desire to explore in my heart, this fear is nothing at all! Hell, I really want to go to Greycastle in person and meet the living the ruins!"
The fifth princess was rather dumbfounded. The main purpose of going to the Western Region was to see Agatha, not her own daughter. She didn't know whether to be happy or sad for Lightning.
"If you didn't have the experience of going to sea this time, the title of the greatest explorer in the fjord could only be given to you," Lei Ting said after sighing for a while, "But... I also discovered something very remarkable."
"Please say."
"I headed east of the sea line again."
"Sea line?" Tilly asked in confusion, "What is that?"
"Ah, I forgot that you were still in Border Town when I came back last time." He touched the back of his head, "It is a cliff made of sea water, which divides the sea into two planes, but ships can travel freely on it, just like that. Like... a spider climbing a wall."
"What, this is impossible!"
"My reaction was the same as yours when I first saw it, but the sea line does exist." Lei Ting said proudly, "What's even more incredible is that I drove the Spirit to cross the Shanghai line, and I was lucky enough to witness the whole process of a high tide, not with my own eyes. What I saw, I could never imagine how spectacular the scene was at that time. The current of the sea gradually became faster, and finally fell to the low point like falling off a cliff. If it wasn't for Moriel's servants to protect the ship, I am afraid that the Spirit will be stopped on the spot. Broken!"
"I turned the steering wheel so that the ship was straight in the direction of the incoming water, and the strong wind was blowing at the time, and the two were maintained in a very delicate balance. Spirit could not go any further, but it would not be caught. The water rushed down the cliff." He took a breath and seemed to recall the excitement at that time, "Of course, the waterline is not a real cliff, we have all seen what a waterfall looks like, with a falling curtain of water and splashing water. , and the roar of the impact of the current can be there, except to see the flowing water, there is nothing. I know that even if Spirit will be pushed down the waterline, it will be just like the process of climbing up, returning to the higher ground. the lower side."
"Then what?" Tilly asked impatiently.
"Then the whirlpool sea was filled up. Only standing on the sea line can we see all this clearly," Lei Ting lowered his voice, "Three gods are above, I don't know how to describe the shock at that moment, the sea line's The height difference has changed from dozens of feet to several feet, and the sea below rises, this is the truth of the tide!"8
