readx;? As the Pretty Woman approached the docks, Tilly stepped out of the cabin to see that the docks were already full of witches greeting them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Nature.2

"Mistress Tilly, you're finally back!" Moriel was the first to pounce with the help of her magical minions.

"Ah, how cunning!" cried Honey.

"Anyway, what about the tracks, open the door and let us go too!" said the Shadow.

"Don't make a fuss, my power is not for you to harass Mistress Tilly!"

The crowd burst into laughter, and looking at the heartfelt smiles on everyone's faces, Tilly felt that the depression in her heart had dissipated a lot in the past few days.

Either way, this is her home, a nation of witches.

Walking up to the docks, Camilla Darui greeted her, "You've been there for so long, I'm worried you won't come back." ā€

"Why," Tilly laughed, "I just didn't expect this Hive Moon to last so long. Well, Sleeping Island is okay?"

"Of course, since you've given it to me, I'm not going to live up to your expectations," Camilla said, stroking her chest, "and everything is getting better, and it's a good idea to set up a Sleeping Charm." I'll get back to you later, but for now...... I'd better hand you over to all the witches," she blinked, "or I'll be devoured alive by them." ā€

As a nobleman from the royal capital, Camilla is very good at managing affairs, and is also the main executor of Tilly's action to gather witches, and it is because of her that Tilly dares to leave the fjord for a long time to explore the western realm of the kingdom.

She shook her head helplessly, crossed the "Great Butler of Sleeping Island", and as soon as she raised her hand to everyone, she was surrounded by layers of witches who swarmed up.

"Your Highness, have you seen your brother, and what is he doing to you?"

"I heard that there is a witch organization in the town, will they come and live with us?"

"The people of that remote town really don't lack food and clothing, and they all live in new houses?"

"It's good you're back, everyone misses you. ā€

Tilly responds to everyone's questions and concerns, and it is not until Savi flies to the dock with a pile of books that everyone turns their attention to the "priceless treasures".

"What is this?" someone wondered.

"Documents from ancient relics?"

"It doesn't look like it, the pages are all new, maybe it's a legend, right?"

"Or is it a theater script? Seriously, I haven't seen a play in a long time. ā€

"Ah...... But what if I can't read?"

Tilly clapped her hands to silence everyone for a moment, "This is a gift from His Highness Roland Wimbledon - including reading and writing manuals, basic math and natural principles!

"Know...... Knowledge?"

Most of the witches looked confused, except for a few noble witches, including Camilla, who looked surprised, "Do you want to teach everyone?"

Tilly nodded, "It's the only shortcut to our own abilities. ā€

Roland has 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 labor force in the territory is temporarily lost, and encouraging them to actively learn also requires financial support, plus the salary of teachers and the construction of school buildings, which is not a small amount. The most important thing is that it is not like doing business, it will not show immediate results, and it needs to be implemented by those in power for a long time.

But the changes it brought were impressive, both for ordinary people and even more so for witches, something Tilly had seen in Bordertown. Before she traveled to the West, she never imagined that a group of ordinary civilians could be so energetic and vibrant.

After returning to the palace, just as she was about to start arranging the education popularization plan according to the book's practice, Ash knocked on the door, "Thunder wants to see you." ā€

"Ha, long time no see, Your Highness Tilly," Thunder still looked the same old way, with a hearty and kind smile, "How, has this trip to the West solved the troubles in your heart?"

"To be honest, I didn't find the answer," Tilly smiled and shook her head, "he has reservations about me after all." It's just that in the current situation, these things have become less important...... By the way, do you know the devil?"

"Monsters from hell?" Thunder said, raising an eyebrow, "It's often heard in epics and legends that valiant knights stepped forward to kill these ferocious and terrifying foes with spears stained with dragon blood. ā€

"This time, they're no longer the enemies of the book. She exhaled.

"Uh...... What do you mean?"

"I don't know if those dragons exist, but the devils - they're real," Tilly succinctly recounted the events of the Witches' Federation and the Battle of the Divine Will, "where the Four Kingdoms are located, but the wilderness of the past, and if we lose again, there is no way back for humanity." ā€

"There is such a thing!" Thunder said no, and only after listening to it did he exclaim, "The ruins all over the place are all from the handiwork of witches, and the border town has found an ancient witch more than four hundred years ago......? It's incredible! You've gained more from this trip than I've ever had in my life!"

Tilly was slightly stunned, "You're not afraid?"

"Scared, ......of course," he exclaimed, "but this fear is nothing compared to the burning desire to explore! Hell, I'd like to go to Grey Keep and meet the living ruins!"

The Fifth Princess's daughter was a little crying and laughing, the main purpose of going to the West was to see Agatha, not her own daughter, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad for Lightning.

"If it weren't for this voyage, the name of the greatest explorer of the fjords would have been given to you," said Thunder, after a sigh, "but ...... I've also seen something very remarkable. ā€

"Speak. ā€

"I went to the east of the sea line again. ā€

"Sea line?" Tilly wondered, "What's that?"

"Ah, I forgot you were in Frontiertown when I last came back. He touched the back of his head, "It's a cliff of water, dividing the sea into two planes, but the ship can move freely on it, like a ...... Like a spider climbing a wall. ā€

"What, this can't be!"

"I reacted the same way you did when I first met me, but the sea line does exist. "What's even more incredible is that I drove the Spirit over the sea line and was lucky enough to witness the whole process of a high tide - I never saw it with my own eyes, and I would never have imagined how spectacular it was." The current gradually became faster, and finally rushed to the low point like a cliff, and if it weren't for Moriel's servants to protect the ship, I'm afraid the Spirit would have been stopped and broken on the spot!"

"I turned the steering wheel so that the boat was straight in the direction of the sea, and the wind was blowing at the time, so the two were in a very delicate balance. The Spirit couldn't take a single step, but it wasn't going to be swept off the cliff by the current. "Of course, the waterline isn't really a cliff, we've all seen what the waterfall looks like, the curtain of falling water, the splashing water, and the roar of the crash of the water - but there, you can see nothing but the flowing water." I knew that even if the Spirit would be pushed down the waterline, it would be just a climb up and back to the lower side. ā€

"And then?" Tilly asked, impatiently.

"Then the whirlpool sea was filled - you can only see it clearly when you stand above the sea line," Thunder lowered his voice, "the three gods are above, I don't know how to describe the shock at that moment, the difference in elevation of the sea line changed from tens of zhang to several zhang, and the sea below rose, this is the truth of the tide!"
