Ermu

Chapter 285: Answer

The environment on Sleeping Island was improving day by day. As long as she flew up, Tilly could see the bustling crowds and lively market. (Advertisement)

It was no longer just an isolated place where three hundred witches initially secluded themselves. Through negotiations and consultations, Crescent Bay, Twin Dragon Island, Sunset Port, and Shallow Water City in the Fjord Islands had established commercial ties with Sleeping Island. She had also introduced a group of ordinary residents from some crowded village islands.

Although they were currently concentrated on the outskirts of the island, far away from the witches, Tilly believed that one day, Sleeping Island would become a city where everyone was integrated. Integration was a slow but exciting process. Whether it was the witches who awakened on other islands joining Sleeping Island, or them remaining in their birthplace and being accepted by the local people, it was good news for Sleeping Island. This meant that Tilly and the relocated witches would gain more supporters.

"Come down, the wind is picking up," Ash shouted from below, "Be careful not to fall!"

"I'm fine!" She waved her hand, suddenly her body sank downwards, and she stabilized herself after falling a distance. "Well... it's still a little difficult to control."

"Knowing it's hard to control, why fly so high!" Ash stamped her foot. "You can practice in a lower place, or go to the sea. If you don't come down, I'm going to climb on the roof and catch you."

"Okay, okay, I got it," Tilly felt that the wind was indeed getting stronger, and no longer forcing herself, gathered the released magic power, and slowly landed in the courtyard of her residence.

"Next time you ask me to do this, call Molly first," Ash widened her eyes, "At least her magic servants can catch you."

"As long as I keep supplying magic power, I can't possibly fall down, at most I just can't control the direction," she took off the blue magic stone gloves in her hand and handed them to the other party, "You can try it too, the feeling of flying is just great, overlooking Sleeping Island from the air, you will feel that the whole world has been renewed."

"I'd rather not," Ash waved her hand, "The lightning magic stone at the beginning couldn't be activated, let alone this kind of stone that needs to be continuously injected with magic power. () And there is only one, even if you master the control skills, you can't fly with you."

"That's true," Tilly took back the gloves with some regret, "I often think, if I can figure out the principle, it would be great if I could make magic stones with corresponding abilities myself."

"Do you think it's man-made?"

"Of course," she nodded without hesitation, "Whether from the polished appearance or the purpose, these stones are unlikely to be formed naturally. The group of people who built the ruins must have a deeper understanding of magic power, but unfortunately, in addition to a pile of incomprehensible documents, they did not leave more clues."

At this moment, a huge white figure fell from the sky. Due to the excessive speed of descent, it almost slammed on the ground with a thud, stirring up a circle of dust.

"Maisie?" Ash raised her eyebrows.

"Ouch... that hurts," the person who came was the little girl, she got up from the ground, rubbing her head and said, "Did I just see things? Lady Tilly was actually flying in the sky reads;! If it weren't for the wrong hair color, I would have thought it was Lightning."

"You didn't see it wrong, I did fly up just now," Tilly smiled and rubbed her cheek, "How is it... are the witches of Sleeping Island doing well in Border Town?"

"Pretty good, they all asked me to send letters to you," Maisie rummaged for letters in her satchel, "This is Lien's, this is Evelyn's, and this... is His Highness the Prince's."

Tilly was slightly startled, only to see that His Highness the Prince's letter was half a finger thick, and it was tightly wrapped, more like a package. It was a little heavy in her hand, obviously containing more than just a simple letter.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Ash took out half a wheat cake, broke off a small piece and handed it to Maisie, but the latter shook her head, stuffed a handful of dried fish into her mouth, and said vaguely, "I'm going to play with Molly." After speaking, she turned back into a huge white pigeon, flapped her wings and flew out of the courtyard.

"Why do I feel like she has become bigger after not seeing her for a month?"

"Same here," Tilly smiled, "Maybe life in Border Town is really good."

Back in the house, she tore open the letter sent by Roland Wimbledon and found that in addition to a letter filled with content, the other dozen pages were all lifelike paintings.

"What is this?"

Ash's question was also Tilly's doubt. She shook her head and spread out the paintings one by one. The content on them was a bit unbelievable: the background was like the evening in the wilderness. Under the blood-red sunset, two terrifying monsters were fighting with a group of witches. The witches were obviously at a disadvantage, and their proficient abilities seemed to have lost their effect. Neither the viper nor the fireball could stop the enemy's footsteps. Seeing the last picture, several witches had fallen in the pool of blood.

Tilly frowned. The scene in front of her was undoubtedly drawn by a witch, and only magic power could create such a realistic image. But... are these just simple paintings, or facts that have happened?

She grabbed the letter with some anxiety and quickly browsed it.

Soon, Tilly felt her heart tighten, and a word that appeared repeatedly in the letter made her hands tremble slightly: Demons.

"What's wrong," Ash held her wrist, "What does the letter say?"

"The past of the Co-Assistance Society," she patted the back of the other party's hand, indicating that she was fine, "They once searched for the Holy Mountain in the wilderness... You should still remember the saying of the Holy Mountain, right?"

"Well, the legendary destination of witches, where you can get real tranquility and peace in the Holy Mountain, but this is just a vague rumor," Ash didn't think so, "We can also live peacefully on Sleeping Island, and Demon Devouring Body is a lie woven by the church."

"But Halakha believed that the Holy Mountain really existed, and she once found an ancient book in the ruins of the Eastern Forest, believing that the gate to the Holy Mountain was in that forbidden area that no one had set foot on. So she led the Co-Assistance Society over the desperate mountains and went to the wilderness, but the witches did not find the Holy Mountain, but encountered a terrifying monster reads;." Tilly whispered.

"Is that the one in the picture?" Ash gasped.

"That's right," she looked a little heavy, "The letter said that they have amazing strength, agile movements, can drive evil beasts, and one of them can release lightning from his hands... just like the ability of a witch. In the end, only six of the forty witches survived, and then they decided to join the lord of Border Town when they had no way out."

"So it turned out to be... like this."

"Also, what puzzles me is that the last part of the ancient book has a few scribbled notes, but they are written in the words of the Four Kingdoms," Tilly turned to the back of the letter, "It mentions the Holy City, fighting against demons, and the Akalis God's Punishment Army experiment, which should be the events of more than 400 years ago. But since they know the kingdom language, why should they use a completely different text to record documents and books?"

After thinking for a long time without getting any results, the Fifth Princess simply put all these things aside, took out Hilven's letter, and planned to understand the results of the investigation of the lord of Border Town first.

As a result, the first sentence of the letter stunned her, even more shocking than seeing the word demon.

Lady Tilly, I did not find any traces of disguise or magic on Roland Wimbledon, and there are no witches of other forces hidden in the town except for the Witch Union. So I think... he might be your real brother. (。、,Your support is my biggest motivation.)
