Ash showed a surprised expression, "Why are you asking this—I never thought of leaving you."
"I didn't mean it that way," Tilly knew she had misunderstood, "it's just purely liking... this isn't a bad place, is it?"
Ash hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "It's not without reason that the Co-Aid Association is willing to stay and work for Roland. But we are different, we have our own home—"
"There are only three endings to this war," Tilly interrupted her. "The first one is that we can't stop the offensive of the God's Punishment Army and die in the north, whether it is Sleeping Island or Neverwinter, It has nothing to do with us."
"You will never sleep in that kind of place, I swear by my life," Ashes hurriedly reached out to cover the mouth of the Fifth Princess, and even used honorifics in a hurry.
Tilly looked at her with a smile, until she let go of her hand before she said softly, "It's just an assumption, I don't think I will die at the hands of the church."
"Then don't say it," Ashes worried, "you always say something..."
"It's a prophecy," Tilly walked to the small window in the kitchen and looked at the vibrant back garden of the castle, "so I put it in the front. The second case is that Roland failed, but we all survived. Come down. In this way, the entire Greycastle will be powerless to stop the church, Neverwinter will be plunged into flames, and he has only one place to go."
"Sleeping Island?"
"Well, we will continue to resist the oppression of the church there until the battle of divine will comes. The complete destruction is likely to be hundreds of years later, and that is also out of our control."
"The third kind..."
"The third type is that we defeated the church and uprooted the holy city of Hermes," Tilly smiled. "All witches can get out of their humiliation and persecution and gain real liberation. When this day comes, The mission of Sleeping Island is over."
"Finish?"
"It originally existed as a witch's escape home. After the collapse of the church, we naturally didn't need to tie everyone to the fjord island. In terms of living environment, the fjord is not a good place, there is a shortage of materials and the weather is changeable... Of course , Sleeping Island will not be abandoned, and Sleeping Charm will continue to operate, but everyone can choose the city life they like, right?"
"Even if it's the abyss of hell where there are many devils, I will stay by your side."
"Is this the case with a world full of salted fish and fish soup?"
"Uh—" Ash couldn't help choking.
Tilly couldn't help laughing out loud, "Don't worry, I'll get tired of it too. Maybe I'll come to Neverwinter for a while in the future to change my taste."
"What are you talking about here?" Andrea asked as she pushed open the door and probed, only to see the tub above her head, even changing her bathrobe.
"What are you going to do?" Ash frowned.
"Take a bath," she curled her lips, "after more than ten days on the boat, the salty smell on my body is almost overflowing. Of course, it's not surprising that some people don't notice it. Sir Tilly, you want to go with me. ?"
"Okay," Tilly replied, "Wait for me to change my clothes."
"Cough... Then I'll go down too," Ashes said casually.
"Please, I didn't invite you." Andrea rolled her eyes at her.
"I went with Tilly, not with you, don't get me wrong."
Seeing the two staring at each other with big eyes, Tilly couldn't help thinking easily, if she could really defeat the church, everyone would be able to live like this.
Roland stayed in the office for a while, until Nightingale shook the dried fish in front of him, and then he came back to his senses.
Tilly's brother screamed unprepared, and before saying goodbye last time, she never admitted her identity as a brother and sister, which made Roland puzzled while she was overjoyed - did she really think she was the fourth prince, or did she really think she was the fourth prince? Treat him as a brother in another sense
"Isn't it just a big brother," Yeying said disapprovingly, "I can call you that if you want to hear it."
You are three years older than me, what about the integrity of being a noble? Roland thought feebly, but the siblings sounded pretty good too... Stop, this thought can't go any further, "Why do you think she suddenly changed her attitude?"
"Who knows, probably because you didn't take advantage of the dissatisfaction of the Bloodfang Witch to split Sleeping Island and start a full-scale war with the Church so soon. These actions are more proof of your sincerity than empty promises." Nightingale Shrugging, "But this is all my guess, maybe she just made a slip of the tongue."
Indeed, the reason doesn't matter, it's the facts that matter. In any case, this way the relationship between the two can become closer, and he has taken another solid step in his efforts to win over all the witches in Sleeping Island.
"Next, we should go see Hetty Morgan," he said.
…
Roland walked into the prison under the castle and saw that she was lying on a straw bed in a drowsiness. The wound on her leg had healed, leaving only large red and black bloodstains.
"In order to ensure Nana's safety, I knocked her unconscious before treating her." Nightingale whispered in her ear, "Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to remove the God's Stone of Retribution. Listening to another witch of the Bloodfang Society say, She also tried to take Andrea as a hostage when she was surrounded, otherwise she wouldn't have been hit like this."
"Well, you did the right thing."
As a powerful battle witch, Heidi's neck and wrists were locked with iron rings wrapped with the Stone of Retaliation. Without special tools, it was difficult to remove these locks.
According to Tilly, she can cause objects within ten steps to collapse inward, causing fatal damage. This collapse is not affected by other external forces, and when the container is released, it makes no difference whether the outer shell is wood or metal - the wood will shatter due to the violent bending, and the metal will be squashed into a ball.
What's more terrifying is that it is also effective for living bodies. For example, the abdominal cavity and thoracic cavity will quickly fit under the pressure of the ability, squeezing the organs in the body like ooze, which makes Roland unable to help. Reminds me of squeezing toothpaste.
But for him, Hetty's ability is more suitable for staying in the factory, rather than fighting the enemy.
If you put a mold into the raw material, she can easily function as a punching machine, which is only the simplest application. What if through study, she realized that molecules and atoms are also full of gaps
Too bad it's all too late.
"Wake her up," Roland said.
Nightingale nodded, dodged into the cage, lifted Heidi and pulled him to the railing.
"I'm Roland Wimbledon, the king of Greycastle," he looked down at her, "Don't you have something to say to me alone? You can speak now."
