Chapter 326:Contact
“Is this where you last landed?”Tilly looked ahead at the towering wall and asked.
After seeing the coastline, the beauty kept sailing west along the shore, until she met this beach, and the ash shouted to stop the ship.
“Well, you see,” she pointed to the top of the mountain.
Tili looked in the direction she pointed, and saw two orange flags fluttering in the wind.
“It was on the beach last time, but the two flags showed that we were not on the wrong track.”
"I have an impression," said old Jack, with his pipe, "but last time they carried a huge balloon with them, and they carried all the witches across the cliffs, how are you going to cross it?"
“A huge balloon?”Tilly is curious.
"Well, it can fly full of heat," nodded the ashes, "it is said to be the invention of His Highness Roland, and the principle is to use the power of the rising heat to lift the balloon and put the balloon to heaven with the people."
The five kings of the goddess are sometimes complicated, "the court teacher did not teach these things."Then she spat out the white air, "Anyway, I will see him soon, and then I will naturally know the result."Let's go ashore."
“Are you sure you’re not waiting for him to come and pick you up?”The captain shook the ash, “What about this cliff?”
“Leave it to Jasper,” Tilly laughed.
Because this is a naturally formed coast, no one knows the depth of the seabed, the beauty does not dare to get too close, and can only send people to the shoal by freeing the landing dinghy.
After a man stepped on the thick snow, Tiley looked at Jack One-eyed, "Mr. Captain, please wait here for three or four days, Lian, they need your help to send back the sleeping island."
"Of course," said the captain, "I dare not return without you, nor will I dare to return, and God knows if the mutant water ghosts will come to the door again."
Tilie went to the edge of the cliff, using the magic stone's ability to fly directly to the top of the mountain, and observed the situation around him - the terrain behind the mountain was much higher than the shoal, almost equal to the top of the mountain, that is to say, only need to climb, do not need to land.The height of the mountain wall is about 50 steps, and the magic consumption of the barrier for pushing objects will increase significantly, but this distance should not be difficult for yarn.She slowly landed next to the four of them, "Sau Wei, the three of them will trouble you."
"Yes, Mr. Tilly," the latter patted her chest with a smile, and then summoned the invisible barrier--after two days' rest, she had recovered from the fierce collision of the beasts of the sea, and when they had all stepped on the transparent barrier, she drove the magic, and slowly rose up, and soon over the hill.
Then, under the guidance of the ashes, it took half a day for the group to finally reach the border town.
The first thing that came to the eye of Tiley was a unique steel bridge.It sat across a wide river, with only two piers at the bottom, removing a neatly arranged iron beams and iron columns, and there was no extra decoration and pattern on the body.The snow covered on the bridge deck contrasted with the black bridge that appeared, and there was an indescribable momentum at a glance.
“This bridge is so big,” He Feng lamented, “how many iron ingots have they melted to build such a bridge?”
"It is a waste of material, obviously a pontoon bridge can solve the problem of passage, what is the need to build such a high?"The ash was disapproving, "The town itself is the last stop of the merchant fleet, and are there ships that want to go to the birthplace of the river to do business?"
“Understance,” Andrea swung her index finger gracefully, “even if I’m not a gray-butterer, I can see that this woodland in the west is quite richly exploitable.”Now there are no towns that do not represent the future, and if you want to continue to expand the territory, it is a good choice to expand into no-man's land.Then the pontoon bridge will become a block to the flow of the river, and it will be obvious that the brother of Mr. Tiley will be more long-term than you think.”
Ash picked up the eyebrows, "Before, or the vulgar noble who liked barbaric cooking, now changed his name to Mr. Tiley's brother?"
"You add the word vulgar aristocracy," said the blond witch, "and in addition, long-term and barbarous cooking do not conflict, you do not have to play tricks in the presence of Herdsmen."
Tily did not care about the two men's routine disputes, but set her sights on the other side of the river.
She noticed an incredible phenomenon.
At this time, the sky is still under the snow, the temperature and cold winter is no different, it is reasonable to say that at this time, the town should hide in their own homes, either around the fire, or curled in the quilt.Even in Wangdu, few people can be seen on the streets in winter - the cold will aggravate the physical passage, want to warm the body, eat a little more than usual, not to mention the door and the danger of infection with wind and cold.Therefore, in addition to the necessary food and drink, the vast majority of civilians always avoid action in the winter.
But there are people on the river in the town—they push cars, some carry big bags, hurry, and look like they’re working.Tilly did not find a overseer with a whip around them, that is to say, these people were working on their own free will.
This... how is it possible?
Immediately after crossing the iron bridge, two guards armed with strange guns came over, dressed in uniform, looked in spirit, and the look was completely different from the common patrol in the big city, "stop, why are you coming from the south?" 」One of them looked at them for a moment, “Wait, are you...witches?”
Although it was already known that the existence of witches was made public in the town, when she personally heard ordinary people ask this sentence in such a peaceful tone, there was still a wave in her heart."Yes, we are witches."
"I want to come and join the co-assistance," laughed the guard, "and I will report it to you at once."
“Waiting?No, this is—”
"Okay, we'll wait here."Tilly reached out and interrupted the ashes, “Also, can I ask what these people are busy with?”
“Ah, they’re rushing to repair the docks because the snow came so suddenly that a lot of things were messed up.I don't know exactly what to do."
When the guards returned to their posts, Ash asked inexplicably, “Why don’t you tell them your identity?”
“Aren’t you curious?How he will receive a witch from other cities."Tilly blinked her eyes playfully.
Not long after, a tall, white-clad woman came up to this side—she had long golden curly hair and impeccable appearance.Even if she couldn’t see the magic, Tiley could feel the sharpness emanating from her, like a blade out of her sheath.
There is no doubt that the comer is a combat witch, and it is the most powerful one.
"I really thought there was a new witch who wanted to come to join the helper, didn't you go back to Sleeping Island?"She looked at the ashes and then swept over the people.When her eyes fell on Tiley, she suddenly stopped, and in an instant, the sharp feeling disappeared, replaced by water-like warmth.
"Hello, my name is Nightingale," she nodded, "and you must be Tily Wimbledon, your Highness Roland's sister?"
