Tassa climbed a small hill, from which the outline of the castle of the Frontier Town Lord could already be faintly seen.

Finally back, he thought, it took nearly a month and a half when he set off, and only seven days when he returned, the main part of which was spent on the way from Silverlight City to Chishui City. Although Ash himself didn't care, he still chose the path of being sparsely populated to reduce the likelihood of being targeted by the church.

Ash was the witch known as the guide, and Tasa wasn't sure if the name was true or not. She always wore a black robe when she walked, and carried a large sword wrapped around her back. Her long black hair was simply tied into a ponytail and dangled around her waist. Whether by bike or boat, she paid little attention to herself, but walked ahead alone, looking around the scenery, and for her, this trip to the frontier town was nothing more than a relaxing sightseeing trip.

Sometimes Tassa would doubt her own judgment, she was really a warrior, her clothes were not fitted and she stumbled, her long hair was equal to more flaws, and Ash seemed not afraid to attack her from behind, and what he saw the most at this time was the back of the other party. He didn't think that witches were naturally trusting others, and could only guess that she had enough abilities to protect herself, and even the Divine Punishment Stone could not pose a threat to her.

Tassa circled around the hillside and quickly found his target, a flagpole with a red strip of cloth. He dug out a bag from the dirt next to the flagpole, replaced the red flag with a folded strip of blue cloth, and then clapped his hands and sat down on the ground.

"Is that good?" asked Ash.

"That's what they say," Tasa wiped the sweat from his forehead, "and go to the foot of the hill northeast of town, go up a stone path, find the flagpole at the top of the hill, change the blue flag, and our people will notice." Mutual aid only acts at night, so we'll just wait here. ”

Ash nodded, found a fairly clean place to sit down, and held out his hand, "Eat." ”

"Uh...... Wait," he unfastened his backpack, pulled out a piece of jerky from it, tore off half of it and stuffed it into his mouth, and then threw the rest to the other party.

Seeing the witch munching on jerky, Tasa sighed. In addition to a big sword, he didn't even have a bronze eagle, and he dared to swagger to the border town with him pennilessly, and the accommodation and food money along the way were paid by himself. The room should be a first-class single bedroom, and the food must be meat, and he has to taste half of the portable food such as dry food.

Probably in areas where she has no time to take care of her abilities, she is still quite cautious. But isn't it prudent to prepare your own food?

"Where we're going, across the channel. Ash swallowed the jerky and said suddenly, "I don't know if you've heard rumors of the fjord, where there are countless islands, some of which are very harsh and inhabited. We're going to build a home for witches there. ”

"......" Tasa was stunned, no matter how he inquired before, the other party kept silent, why did he suddenly take the initiative to mention this matter now?

"Do you wonder why I didn't reveal any information to you before?" she explained earnestly, "because if you were a liar and ran to report to the church at night while I was asleep, those girls would probably be intercepted halfway and murdered." But by now, they should be on a merchant ship bound for the fjord, and even the church is powerless to stop it. Besides, I'm here to take away the witches of the Mutual Aid Society, and sooner or later they will know about it, so there's little point in continuing to hide it. ”

"But even if I brought you here, I can't rule out that I'm a liar. ”

"Yes, it is. "If it weren't the witch who came in the end, you'd die here, along with those who tried to do it to the witch." ”

"Okay," Tassa breathed a sigh of relief, "can I ask any other questions?"

She thought for a moment, "If only I could answer." ”

"You're a Greykeep? I've never seen eyes like this. Tasa decided to start with the other party's origins, such information is not sensitive, but can reduce the resistance in the other party's heart.

"I was born in the Kingdom of Eternal Winter, but it has nothing to do with the color of my eyes, which have changed since I became a witch. ”

"Eternal Winter, it's far away from Grey Keep, and it's separated by two kingdoms, how did you get to Silverlight City?"

"I was sold into the Church, and then I ......," she paused, "I wandered all the way from the Old Holy City Abbey to the Grey Keep Capital, and it was not until I met her that I ended my life of exile. ”

"She?" Tassa said curiously.

"Tilly Wimbleton," a warm look in Ash's eyes, "she took me in. ”

Qin Wei's heart was shocked, at first when he heard this name, he thought it was just a duplicate name, but with the addition of Wimbledon's surname, the meaning was completely different. Could it be Roland Wimbledon's sister, the Fifth Lady of the Kingdom, who led the witches to the fjord?

"Chief," she nodded, "but to me, she's the most important person...... The kind that no one can replace. ”

As night fell, the two lit a bonfire on the hillside.

Ash removed the greatsword and lifted the strip of cloth little by little—a terrifying weapon nearly waist-width on its blade alone, covered in the marks of the impact. The gray-black blade didn't cut its edge, and it was clear that its weight alone was enough to kill a person when it was slashed. It would have been a lot of effort for a normal person to lift this weapon, but in her hands, it was as light as a one-handed sword.

How many blacksmith shops would have to be robbed to make up the materials needed to forge one of these great swords, Tasa thought, if the witch of His Royal Highness the prince was delayed, he might become a victim of the sword.

"I heard that the lord of the border town is also ...... Wimbledon," he decided to find something to say, or the wait would have been particularly difficult.

"Roland Wimbledon, the Fourth Prince of the Grey Castle. She said calmly, "I've seen him before." ”

"What?" said Tassa.

"After I was taken in by Tilly and served as her bodyguard at the palace, I naturally had the opportunity to meet several of her siblings. Ash seems to know the Four Princes very well, "Incompetent, arrogant, unlearned. It's hard to believe that he could be Tilly's own brother. And...... In some respects, he is not a little timid. ”

By the end, her tone had grown cold.

Tasa couldn't help but shudder, he had heard a lot of rumors about His Royal Highness when he was in the palace, such as being open-mouthed, flamboyant, and liking to flirt with other people's maids. Although it has not reached the point of threatening the other party with force or violence, it is inevitable to take advantage of it. Won't it ......

At this moment, Ash suddenly stood up and stared in the direction of the path, "Someone is coming, more than one." ”

Tassa followed her line of sight, and the figure of the group gradually appeared in the night, and the witch in the lead was none other than the personal bodyguard of His Royal Highness the Prince, Nightingale. (To be continued.) )
