After Tily left the office, Roland took a breath.

Obviously, in front of a smart person, a serious nonsense is a very stressful thing, especially to maintain a sincere and sincere expression throughout the whole process.Fortunately, the Nightingbird’s report gave him a gasp – the Sleeping Island Witch had all returned to the castle, and Roland had taken the opportunity to end the conversation.

“Do you have a special feeling in the face of your witch sister?”The nighting-old turned and sat down on the table, condescendingly down to the prince.

The latter rolled over a white eye, no good airway, "the pressure is not a special feeling?"

“I thought it was a deep reunion,” she said.

"I don't have a good relationship with her," Roland sighed, "and she used to bully her in the palace, and when she grew up, it was no different from strangers, and it was an unexpected joy for her to come here."

“Oh?”She said, "You don't get alone with other strange witches, and I think you're pretty sure of her."

That’s because you don’t want to see me lying, Roland didn’t answer, and filled his cup of tea again and leaned back in his chair and took a slow sip.

“Anyway, you’ll understand later.”

The Nightinge reached out and touched his lips, “You’ll tell me everything, right?”

“...eh.”

“I took this promise,” she said with a chuckle, and then disappeared in front of Roland.

Roland leaned back in his chair, reminiscing about the whole conversation, looking for a possible leak—the “most appropriate” explanation he could think of.Years of experience in the work told him that the more lies made up, the less he could stand scrutiny, so it was difficult to be self-justified as a child who deliberately hid, accidentally found ancient books, or hermits taught such a statement, as long as he continued to inquire.In addition to being his own sister, the other party is also the leader of the witch organization, and any debunked lies will bring a heavy blow to trust before forming a stable alliance between the two sides.

So he chose to be honest about the details that might be debunked, and the extra knowledge pushed onto sudden memories—which, while it sounded incredible—but at least not too much negative effect than the more inconceivable crossing, and it could not be falsified.If the latter, she would accept a complete stranger.

As long as he bites the identity of the four princes of the gray castle, no one can deny it.And what she wants, I'm afraid, is just an explanation for herself.Roland knows in his heart that a good leader will not always be stuck in the past, and working together is the most important thing.This winter will allow her to see the vast prospects of the West, and the sincerity of her cooperation, even if it is a successful meeting, and as for the relationship between them, there will be a lot of time to repair it in the future.

In the evening, a large feast was held in the castle hall.

Common pepper steak, omelet and white bread will not be said, all kinds of white wine, fragrant frying bird kiss mushrooms, small cages and ice cream all debut, the taste of the dishes to a new level, while introducing the concept of fancy platter on the plate, a large plate of porcelain plate is filled with a small piece of sauce's staple food, the visual effect is excellent, it makes people feel the finger movement.

In a staggered, cup of candlelight, the dinner finally ended in a harmonious and lively atmosphere.

This is followed by more formal talks.

In the drawing-room, the fireplace was burning, Roland sat in a row with the members of the Union of Witches at the long table, and Tily and the Sleeping Island Witch sat in the opposite row, Maisie, because of the sensitivity of her identity, simply squatting in the shape of a dove on the head of the chandeliers.

Tily said, "In addition to helping the border town resist the invasion of the evil beast, I also intend to take back the five witches sent before," she told the story of the Sleeping Island, "the next spring, Silver Moon Bay will move into the island a group of ordinary people, and the additional housing and food need to be solved by lotus and honey."

Rolandon felt big, resisting the evil beast by the first army can also do, in addition to the flexible high-speed hybrid, almost no witch out of the horse.But in terms of construction, the role of witches is irreplaceable, and now the port mountains have not yet been opened, the dock is only half repaired, and the cave dwellings he still wants to build several batches, "Can it be half a month later?"

"I'd like to say yes, but the situation has changed," said Tily, shaking her head helplessly, "a mutated water ghost has appeared in the southern cape, and you can think of it as a fish-evil beast."I suspect that all this has to do with the early evil moon, and the longer the evil moon is, the more vicious the beast will be, so it is safer for them to go on the road earlier.”

"They're not fit to fight."

"I know that, therefore, the wind will escort it with the ship--her ability to deal with the enemy of low intelligence is very effective, and we do not intend to return the same way, but along the coastline all the way north, to the port of blue water, and then take the usual trade route to the sleeping island."According to the news from the fowl messenger, there are no evil beasts on the fjord and the kingdom's route.”

Roland had to make a last-ditch effort, "Uh...can the other three stay besides lotus and honey?"Primary education has just been half done, and now that it is half-way.”

"Shhhh," Tilly couldn't help but laugh, "it seems that you like them quite."

“He didn’t know how to respond to that.

“I want to ask you, how do you use the candlelight and Evelyn’s abilities?”

“Cure metal parts and wine, the former can make mechanical operations much more efficient, the latter...” Roland paused a little, “wine is a very good thing, in addition to drinking, there are many uses.”

"And they are always worried that their abilities are available on the sleeping island, and often..." Tiley did not continue, but Roland guessed that it should be related to discrimination, like the encounter with the mystery of the month of co-op help, "I am very happy to hear you keep them, sure every witch has a unique role, ability is not meaningless," she looked to Evelyn and others, "What do you think?" 」

"I'll follow you, Mr. Tilly."Hilvi said.

“I...” The candle touched his head, “anywhere.”

"Mr. Tilly, if you need me, I will return to the sleeping island," Evelyn replied after a moment's silence; "Besides, I want to stay in the border town."I have a lot of things I want to learn from the book teacher.”

“Don’t be so nervous, I’m not asking you to stay—it’s not a matter of choice,” Tiley said with a smile, “I just want to know what’s going on with you in town.”You can return to the sleeping island at any time, and lotus and honey will not be back, and I even want to invite the witch of the border town to visit the sleeping island.It is hoped that through our efforts, witches will be able to live freely in the future, whether in the north or the south.Do you think I am right?Brother.”

It was the first time he had ever heard the other party call himself that, even if he added the memory of the four princes, it was more than a decade ago.He smiled and said, "There will be a day."
