Roland wondered if he had misheard, “What?”

The book bit its lips and repeated it.( ?[{[BiQuKu{ )

This time he was sure that there was not a problem with his own hearing, and that the witch would be so concerned about her marriage?“Are you sure a witch can’t give birth?”Is it because... for some reason, which leads to a false understanding?For example, the former holy mountain.”

“I hope so too,” she sighed, “but unfortunately many examples confirm this, whether it is normal with ordinary people or forced to have them, there are no examples of witch-child procreation—no co-op meetings, nor have other witch organizations heard of.”

“Reproductive isolation” . . . such a word emerged in Roland’s mind.Is the witch really more ordinary and become a new human being, so that it is impossible to conceive offspring with the old one?Or is it because the magic is concentrated in the body, which leads to this phenomenon?

But now is not the time to go to the end, he thought, the key is its impact.Does this hinder the idea that you want to marry a witch?

Roland first thought of Anna.

Although it is a pity not to raise children with Anna, the premise that he will like children is based on the love of Anna, and no child will not reduce this love.And for a man with a modern soul, the relationship between future generations and him is far less important than the bloodline that the ancients emphasized.As a separate individual of life, he does not regard children as a continuation of himself—the latter can neither pass on ideas nor inherit memories, but as an independent person.

So emotionally, he could accept that witches could not give birth to this.

Then there is only the obstacle in reality – the question of the heirs.However, this is still not a difficult thing for Roland, who has a long history, only to build an empire that does not need heirs, and there are many options for implementation, and he can consider it slowly later.

On the whole, Roland was surprised, this is a major positive news.

How to build a social framework for the common progress of the new human witch and ordinary people can live in peace is a question he has been thinking about since talking with the nighting.But now, even if there is a stone of divine punishment, as long as it lasts long enough, witches and their descendants will always form a stronger group - even if the technology is so that ordinary people can use magic, still can not make up for the witch's overall leadership in intelligence, memory, and thinking.

Now he was told that the witch could not give birth.This largely avoided the formation of a family group, weakened the gap between the witch community and ordinary people, and gave him the hope that the two would work together.

Perhaps it was that he had been thinking for too long, and the Nightinging could not help but grab his arm.

Roland turned back from his thoughts, and he patted each other's hands with comfort, cleared his throat and said, "I thought so before, and I still think so."

“The book paused for a moment, ‘What?’

The hand on his arm was immediately grasped.

Roland couldn't help but laugh, before he himself doubted whether he had heard wrong, now it was the turn of the other party?He coughed twice and said again, "I still think so--I'm willing to marry a witch."

...

The expression of the book when it left was strange, as if satisfied and slightly sad, and looked at Roland with misty water.

He had to ask the nightinging-on, “Is she all right?”

The latter did not answer, but smiled at Roland, and the sunlight outside the window reflected on her white face and sleek head, bright and heart-warming.

"Well," Roland said, "you're all in a good mood."

Just then the door of the office was knocked, "Your Highness, there is a knight in the long song fortress, and he says that there is information to be given to you."

"Get him to the living room, I'll be there later."

When the prince entered the hall, the knight immediately stepped over and knelt down on one knee, "Lord Pero, let me tell you that Tifeko Wimbledon sent a delegation of messengers, who has arrived at the Long Song Fortress."

“The messenger?”Roland muttered, “How many have they come?”

"About 50 people."

That seems to be persuading the team, he thought, just diplomatic means, to himself is not painful, "when did they arrive?" 」

"Yesterday morning," cried the knight, "Mr. Pero let me hurry and inform you of the news as soon as possible."

It only takes a day, I'm afraid it's going to be on the way at night, "Work hard, rest for a day and then return."Roland looked at the guard and explained, "Give him a golden dragon and take him to the hotel."

After the Cavaliers left, Roland wanted to put this aside, after all, the team of fifty people did not threaten the town, just to negotiate, let the leader come in.However, it is better to think that since Perot is treated so carefully, he still has the whereabouts of the messenger group at any time.

Thinking of this, he brought lightning and Maisie and asked them to fly to the fortress one after the other to check the situation.

After an hour, the two witches complete their investigation and return to the castle.

"There is no present," the lightning report reported, "and there is no team of fifty knights on the road, not even the single knights."

“I didn’t see a chorus!”Macy confirmed.

It seems that after they travel a long way to reach the big city, they need to find some fun for themselves and relieve their tired bodies.Roland put his heart down and said, "Before the messengers arrive, you will investigate them once a day along the road."He paused, “Yes, how did you finish the map before?”

“There are probably hundreds of pieces, almost all of which are enough to fill Soroya’s room,” said the lightning, “and she has now moved the map to the backyard, do you want to see it?”

“All right,” Roland laughed.

The castle’s backyard has been turned into a botanical garden, and since Sean brought back the crop seeds from the port of Bizerba, the things they grow here are even stranger.And in order to save the land and flower beds, the leaves set up wooden shelves above the sky, so that many plants like vines, winding the shelves to grow, and even climbed the half of the wall of the castle.The walls behind the castle now contain grapes, apples, wheat and sugar cane, and the witches gather in the backyard when they are well, and cut down from the wall to eat some fruit and sugar cane.Unfortunately, these crops must be grown under the magic of the leaves, and can only be regarded as incompletely successful experiments.

The map is placed in the middle of the yard, with five or six square meters, and is made of a piece of parchment.

"Here we are," said the lightning, holding Roland's waist with one hand, slowly floating with him, and hovering over the map, "do you see that slap-sized gray-broded square?"From the air, the border town is like this.”

“Is it the blue place to the east and south...is it the sea?”

"Yes, but it takes a little bit of the mountain to get there."

Roland's heart is a little, if the wild land is tens of times wider than the gray castle is still normal, but he did not expect that when the complete large map was completely presented in front of the eyes, the western realm actually seemed so small.There are desperate mountains before, and then there is the sea, just like a section of the edge of the danger.No... not only the West, he will complement the unpainted parts in his mind, if the desperate mountains divided into the big six are regarded as a wall, the gray castle, and even the whole "big 6", are just a small piece of land behind the wall.
