Roland didn't stay in his bedroom all day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As dusk approaches, he receives a notification from the Nightingale that Tilly wants to see him.

Roland had no choice but to put on his coat, tie up his long hair, and go to the office with a stack of manuscript papers. Pushing the door open, Tilly and Ash are already waiting for him in the room.

Seeing that he was holding a heavy object in his hand, Ash took the initiative to meet him and take the thick manuscript paper for him, this action surprised Roland a little, he didn't expect that this transcendent who had always looked at him unpleasantly would also take the initiative to help one day.

The setting sun shining in from the floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the wall orange-red, and at the same time left a gold edge on the two of them, which was quite a bit of parting.

Roland had roughly guessed what Tilly meant.

Although he was a little reluctant, he knew that this day would eventually come, and the other party did not choose to say goodbye when he was unconscious, which was enough to show sincerity.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you," Tilly said calmly, "I'll have to return to Sleepy Isle to deal with the Bloodtooth Society in the near future." ”

Looking at Tilly's beautiful face and eyes reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, Roland was silent for a moment before speaking, "I understand...... When will the Pretty Lady arrive in the West? I'll have the kitchen prepare a send-off feast for you—wait," he was stunned, "a trip? you're coming back?"

Ash couldn't help but cover his mouth.

Tilly chuckled directly, "Why, don't you welcome me?" ”

"No, I mean...... Why do you ......" Roland opened his mouth in surprise, but he didn't know what to reply for a while, and only after a half-silence did he say: "Because of the demon moon?"

"I won't deny it if you think so," Tilly said, "but don't you have higher expectations?"

He was completely stunned.

"Is it ......?"

"That's it," Tilly said bluntly, "I'll bring the news of your victory back to the Isle of Sleep, and tell them that Neverwinter in the west of Greycastle is free of the threat of the Church, and that they don't have to live in fear or hide on this island. When you're ready, I'll bring witches willing to go to the Westlands to settle here, and I hope you don't think they're eating too much. ”

An indescribable excitement welled up in Roland's heart, "They are always welcome in the West!"

"You can't live in your building with so many witches," the Five Kingsmaiden smiled slyly, "and even if only half of them are willing to come, it's several times more than the League of Witches." And most of them aren't battle witches, so I'm going to wait until the Hive Moon is over before hiring a ship to deliver them, and the routes will be much safer. ”

"I'll have enough housing in place by next spring, and that's not a problem for Carl." ”

"I have three additional conditions," Tilly said, holding out three fingers, "I hope you promise me, brother." ”

Seeing her serious appearance, Roland couldn't help but sit upright, "You say." ”

"First of all, if they want to leave Neverwinter and go to another town, you can't restrict their freedom. ”

"No problem," he replied without hesitation, "but now that the Grey Keep is not yet united, I cannot guarantee that the people of the rest of the world will treat witches equally, and for security reasons, I suggest that they only settle in the Westside and the Isle of Sleepy for the time being." When I can control the whole kingdom, it's not too late to leave the West. ”

"I'm just assuming," Tilly nodded in satisfaction, "and second, you can't force them if they don't want to work for you. ”

Roland poured a cup of tea for the two, "So can I tempt them to work for me?"

"As long as you don't use coercion," Tilly gave him an affirmative look.

"Established," he couldn't help laughing.

It wasn't difficult for Roland to get the young girls who were not well versed in the world (and they were busy taking refuge since they woke up) into the wave of industrialization - he had a lot of incentives to get them into it, not to mention the salary, just the soap, the wine, and the ice cream, which only working witches could get in exchange, would be attractive enough.

The sugar-coated shells of capital are far from being comparable to pure violence.

"Finally, I want the Malefix to stand on its own. Tilly looked a little hesitant when she said this, presumably thinking that the request might be a bit harsh, "Of course, some of the money earned from the spell will be handed over to Neverwinter. ”

"Sleeping Charm?" Roland was stunned, he remembered that this organization was a bounty guild to settle conflicts between battle witches and auxiliary witches, and to earn profits for Sleeping Isle. In other words, almost all of the island's witches are members of the Maleficent, and if they exist independently, it means that they are all under Tilly's rule.

He quickly understood why the Five Princesses had hesitated to say this, moving in and managing it as an independent organization, whether it was accepting bounty tasks or sending people to the fjord, it was still up to the Spell to decide from within, as if they were deliberately guarding against him.

Roland immediately agreed, "Of course, as long as they follow the laws that prevail within the territory." ”

Isn't that the equivalent of a private company?

In fact, when he realized that the witches of the Sleeping Isle might move to the West, he was not only happy but also worried, that is, he didn't know whether to include them in the Witch Alliance.

As one of the three major administrative bodies alongside City Hall and the First Army, the Witch League is clearly safe in the hands of Wendy, who is loyal to her. But there are too many witches on the Sleeping Island, and once they all join the Witch Alliance, it will inevitably weaken Wendy's control, and it will be less reasonable for him to intervene in management at that time.

If he didn't accept him into the alliance, he would be too cold to these witches from afar, and now Tilly took the initiative, which made Roland feel relaxed for a while. Besides, it's normal for Tilly to still have a trace of worry in her heart, trust itself is something that takes time to build, and this is a huge improvement from before.

"Really?" Tilly couldn't help but be a little surprised to see him say yes so readily.

"Don't worry, I will never go back on what I promised you. Roland laughed.

"Yes......" Tilly relaxed, "then I'll go back to my room and pack my things, the pretty woman will arrive in about three days." In addition to the accompanying Battle Witches, I'll take Ife and Yuyu with me, but I'll send them back when the Bloodfang Society is done. ”

"Are you going to wait until after the Evil Moon to come back here?"

"You asked me if it was because of the Demon Moon, and I said ......," she blinked, "I don't deny it. ”

"So you're going to come early?" Roland asked.

"Just like last year, brother," Tilly nodded, "I'll fight the beast with you until the snow subsides." ”
