After Tilly left the office, Roland let out a sigh. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Obviously, it can be very stressful to talk nonsense in front of a smart person, especially when you have to maintain an honest and honest expression the whole time. Thankfully, Nightingale's report gave him a respite - the Sleeping Island Witches had all returned to the castle, and Roland took the opportunity to end the conversation.

"Well, do you have a special feeling about your witch sister?" said Nightingale, turning over and sitting down on the table, looking down condescendingly at the prince.

The latter rolled his eyes, not having a good airway, "Is it a special feeling to be stressed?"

"I thought it was a touching reunion," she pouted.

"I don't have a good relationship with her," Roland sighed, "I used to bully her when I was in the palace, and when she grew up to be no different from strangers, it was a surprise that she was here." ”

"Oh?" she said meaningfully, "you don't get along alone with other strange witches, and I think you trust her." ”

That's because he didn't want you to see me lying, Roland didn't answer, refilled his teacup, leaned back in his chair and took a sip.

"Anyway...... You'll understand later. ”

Nightingale reached out and touched his lips, "You're going to tell me everything, aren't you?"

“...... Well. ”

"I took the promise," she chuckled, and then disappeared in front of Roland.

Roland leaned back in his chair and reflected on the whole conversation, looking for possible mistakes—the most appropriate explanation he could think of. Years of work experience have taught him that the more lies he makes, the less he can stand up to scrutiny, so it is difficult to justify such statements as long as he continues to inquire about the deliberate clumsiness of his childhood, the accidental discovery of ancient books, or the teachings of hermits. In addition to being his sister, the other party is also the leader of the witch organization, and any unexposed lies will deal a heavy blow to trust until a stable alliance is formed between the two sides.

So he chooses to tell the truth about the details that might be debunked, and the extra knowledge is pushed on to the sudden memories - as incredible as that sounds, at least there aren't too many negative effects compared to the more incredible time travel, and it's impossible to falsify. If it was the latter, it was up to her to say whether she would be able to accept a completely stranger from another world.

As long as he is sure of the identity of the fourth prince of Gray Castle, no one can deny it. And what she wants, I'm afraid, is just an explanation made by herself. Roland knows in his heart that a good leader will not always be entangled in the past, and working together is the most important thing. This winter allows her to see the vast prospects of the West, and the sincerity of her cooperation, even if it is a successful meeting, as for the relationship between them, there will be plenty of time to repair in the future.

In the evening, a grand feast was held in the castle hall.

Not to mention the usual pepper steaks, fried eggs and white bread, all kinds of baijiu, pan-fried bird's snout mushrooms, xiao long bao and ice cream are all on display, elevating the taste of the dish to a whole new level, and introducing the concept of a fancy platter on the plate, a huge porcelain plate containing a small piece of the main food drizzled with sauce, the visual effect is excellent, and the first look makes people feel like they are moving their fingers.

In a staggered and candlelight scene, the dinner finally ended in a harmonious and lively atmosphere.

This was followed by more formal talks.

In the living room, the fireplace was blazing, Roland and the members of the Witches League sat in one row of long tables, Tilly and the Witches of the Sleeping Isle sat in the opposite row, and Maisie simply squatted in the form of a dove on the chandelier above her head due to her sensitivity of identity.

Tilly was the first to speak, "In addition to helping the border town resist the invasion of evil beasts, I also plan to bring back the five witches I sent before," she recounted the recent situation of Sleeping Island, "Silvermoon Bay will move a group of ordinary people to the island next spring, and the extra housing and food will need to be solved by lotus and honey." ”

Rolandon has a big head, and he can defend against evil beasts by the First Army, and he hardly needs a witch to go out except for a flexible and high-speed hybrid. But in terms of construction, the role of witches is irreplaceable, and now the port mountain has not yet been opened, the dock is only half repaired, and he still wants to build a few more batches of cave houses, "Can it be half a month late?"

"I'd love to say yes, but things have changed," Tilly shook her head helplessly, "There's a mutant water ghost on the southern cape, and you can think of it as a fish-like beast." I suspect it all has something to do with the early Evil Moon, which is said to be more terrifying the longer it lasts, so it's safer for them to hit the road sooner. ”

"None of them are fit for fighting. ”

"I know, that's why Zephyr will be escorted by ship - her abilities are very effective against enemies with low intelligence, and we don't plan to go back the way we came, but follow the coastline all the way north, reach the clear water harbor, and then take the usual trade route to the Sleepy Isles. According to the news from the Bird Messenger, there are no evil beasts on the route between the fjord and the kingdom. ”

Roland had to make one last effort, "uh...... Except for Lotus and Honey, can the other three stay? Primary education is just halfway through, and if you leave now, it will be equivalent to giving up halfway......"

"Poof," Tilly couldn't help but laugh, "Looks like you're quite fond of them." ”

"......," he didn't know how to respond to that for a moment.

"I want to ask, how did you use the Candle Flame and Evelyn's abilities?"

"Solidifying metal parts and making wine, the former makes the machinery run much more efficiently, and the latter ......," Roland paused slightly, "Wine is a very good thing, and has many uses besides drinking. ”

"And they are always worried about their abilities in the Sleeping Isles, and they often ......" Tilly didn't continue, but Roland guessed that it was related to discrimination, just like what happened to Mystery Moon when she was in the Mutual Aid Society, "I'm glad to hear that you kept them like this, and sure enough, each witch has a unique role, and her abilities are not meaningless," she looked at Evelyn and the others, "What do you think?"

"I wish to follow you, Mistress Tilly. Sylvie said.

"I'm ......," Candleflame touched her head, "anywhere." ”

"Mistress Tilly, if you need me, I'll return to the Isle of Sleep," Evelyn was silent for a moment before replying, "Other than that, I'd like to stay in Borderlands." I...... There are many things I want to learn from the book teacher. ”

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not letting you choose to stay - it's not a matter of either/or," Tilly said with a smile and shook her head, "I just wanted to know how you live in the town." You can return to Sleepy Island at any time, and Lotus and Honey will not be gone forever, and I would even like to invite the witches of the border towns to visit Sleepy Island. We hope that through our efforts, witches will be able to live freely in both the North and the South. Do you think I'm right? ”

Roland was slightly stunned, this was the first time he had heard the other party call himself so publicly, even if he added the memory of the fourth prince, it was more than ten years ago. He smiled and nodded, "There will be such a day." ”
