Mystery
Chapter 257:Mystery
Since the arrival of five Sleeping Island witches in the border town, Roland has been in a state of excitement, and after the dinner party, he found himself in bed late and unable to sleep, so he had to get up and drink half a glass of white wine, forcing his body to fall asleep.
By the next day, when the summer cicadas in the courtyard began to make a "hob" chirping, he had regained his sobriety.The spirit crawled out of the bed, simply washed and walked into the office - at this time, the sky had just sprung up with a white fish, and the first morning light sprinkled into the room evenly through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Roland looked around for a week, did not see the familiar figure of the past, if usual, he pushed the door in, can always see lying in the chair, showing a lazy appearance of the nightingale.He couldn't help but smile, sat down at the table, took out the notepad from the drawer, and began to plan the next witch-cultivation plan.
Helping newcomers familiarize themselves with the environment and integrate into the group will naturally have Wendy, and the books they will do, and what he will do is to launch a sugar-coated shell offensive, so that the visiting witch can enjoy the unique comfort of life here.It is not necessary to leave the other party in the border town to be successful, even if you go back, it is also a kind of excellent publicity for your own territory.
When the sun was completely up, the Nightinge finally appeared in the office, “Oh?Are you getting up so early today, as Lily said, that you can't hold the new witch?"
“What’s the matter,” Roland smiled, putting a bag of dried fish on the table, “how was it with the new sisters last night?”
“Sisters?”She said, "Don't trust them too much."
“What happened?”
The nightingale reached for the bag, and one turned back to the chaise longue, "the witch named Hilway, half of the ten sentences are lies, although not so serious as to be wrong, but certainly hidden a lot of small thoughts."
"Well... understandably," Roland said unconcerned, "probably she wanted to see if I was real Roland Wimbledon."
“What?”The Nighting is a little.
“If your loved one changes, you’re sure to wonder if he’s replaced or controlled, right?”He smiled, "I guess Tilly sees me just that way, in the royal capital, I am famous for idleness, unlearned, and afraid of evil, how can I come forward to protect witches?"
In fact, any bad comment can not be too much to describe the four princes, he also turned over in his childhood memory: the four princes accidentally smashed a few crystal glass jars while playing in the royal palace, in order to avoid punishment, he did not only put the responsibility on the whole tot, and forged the scene, throwing his six- or seven-year-old sister into the glass slag.With this black history, others are not impressed.Now the brother who doubts the change of temperament is no longer himself is also normal, in other ways, anyone will want to explore it.
"I'd like to hear you say that, too," asked the Nightingale curiously, "is that you really Roland Wimbledon?"
“I am, and I am not.”Roland nodded.
She froze, “Why is the ability to tell me that this is true?”
"Because that's the truth."The Nightingingeon’s ability can only distinguish deliberate lies, and he does not consider himself lying.
"..." she frowned for a long time, finally holding her forehead, decided to give up thinking, "Forget it, I will go directly to Anna later."Either way, you can do as long as Roland, which I know."
"Of course, I've been me since I met you."Roland smiled.
After breakfast, the five witches of Sleeping Island were taken to the office by Wendy.
“Good morning, my lord.”Five people bowed their heads.
"Relax, I am not a very polite person, and you can call me in the same way you can call me Tilly."Roland waved, "The first week I will not arrange any work for you, mainly familiar with the environment and life of the town."You can visit the border town at will, and no one will speak evil because you are a witch, or try to arrest you in exchange for money - I have removed the power of the church from the west, so it is like the sleeping island, it is a place of freedom."
"I think you should all know the cause of the magic phage, so the necessary exercises can't be left behind."There is no limit during the day, just don't forget to come back for lunch, after dinner there will be a primary education class, including literacy and reading, as well as simple mathematics, natural knowledge.As Tilly may have told you, the power of witches can be further strengthened in addition to the days of adulthood, so it is necessary to master this knowledge, and interested people can come to the lectures with the witch of the town."
“Also, you’ll get a Golden Dragon a month, and you’ll get a weekend and paid vacation — if you don’t understand, ask Wendy.In short, the usual life is like the Sorcerers' Union, and the Sleeping Island is the home of the witch, and so is the border town."Rolandton said, "Then first test the ability, Tilly in the letter is not too clear, I want to see for myself."It's inconvenient to show up here, so let's change the spacious place."
"Wait a minute, my lord, I have something to give you."Hilvy opened the door.
“What is it?”
She opened the package in her hand and put a few yellow parchments and a letter on the table, “Mr. Tilly found these instruments in the remains of a fjord, and the words she wanted to ask you were written in this letter.”
Roland opened the envelope in doubt, not long, he soon saw the end, but the contents of the account set off a huge wave in his heart.
A man-made stone island sleeping on the bottom of the sea, the unpredictable tides and rising tides, the mirrors that can still operate after hundreds of years, and the stone doors built on the cliffs... it is incredible, why is there such a strange relic in the fjord?And Tilly's inquiry at the end also made him feel tingling behind his back - sweeping a few parchments, he found that these words were indeed familiar.
“Call the book,” Roland commanded the Nightingers.
The book soon returned to the castle from the town hall, and when she summoned the magic book, the prince could not help but frown.
Only the "holy books" brought out by Hakalla from the ruins of the eastern forest, and these documents found in the ruins of the fjord are exactly the same!Tilly's speculation in the letter was confirmed that these ancient relics were all from the same people.
If the church had built all this, why had it abandoned them all?And not only these magnificent buildings, but also the records of 450 years ago have been erased by an unrelenting one.What are they trying to hide?
The scorching sun of summer could not make Roland feel a little warm, he only felt that there was a faint cold rising from the soles of his feet, gloomy and cold.
Is the stone tower found by lightning in the enchanted forest also related to these relics?And the evil beasts, the devil and the holy city of Taqila... what happened 450 years ago?Roland's heart was full of great uneasiness.(Unfinished.)
