The witch left the hall, leaving the hall, not even the opportunity to explain.Ω Δ

Roland said a little sideways, “What’s the matter, can you see anything?”

"Both sides are telling the truth."The nightingale whispered in his ear.

So, he thought for a moment and quickly guessed the general origin of the matter.The truth does not mean the truth, but the "truth" that he believes to be true, and it seems that the problem lies in the book that records the history of the family.

"Since you have come from the long song fortress, don't rush back, stay in the Filin family for a few days, and you can visit the scenery of the town."Roland looked at the blank jazz, "I will ask her clearly, and perhaps you will be able to talk again."

“Yes... is that so?”The jazzman faltered, then bowed his head, "Then there is His Highness Lau."

“Where are the magic stones and the old books you brought with you now?”

"It's all in the cabin, there's about ten boxes."

"Very well, all brought to the castle," said Roland, "and when she sees that something can survive more than four hundred years ago, I think her mood will ease."

...

After dinner, the prince called Egsa to the office.

"You should perhaps listen to Sir Sylter," he repeated the story of the other party, "that no matter how your housekeeper does it, but at least he comes to you with the idea of bringing things back to his original owners, and perhaps trying to make up for the responsibilities owed by his ancestors."

"He has deceived his descendants, and these people owe me nothing," said Herbaa, "and now the witch family is meaningless, and they are one of the nobles of the West."I accepted them and it wouldn’t make it easier for you to do the next thing—you want to put the whole jurisdiction of the West in your own hands, right?”

Roland nodded, he did not expect the other party to think of this, and then smiled and shook his head, "Well, you have a reason to say it."But you don’t seem to blame them?”

“I do not need to add a share of the anger of mortals four hundred years ago to his children and grandchildren, and they have no knowledge of it.”

Indeed, he was an enlightened member of the witch kingdom, and Roland felt in his heart that both the attitude towards mortals and the degree of acceptance of new things were held with a positive attitude.In his opinion, this is undoubtedly a very good state of mind, but for more than four hundred years of Taqila, I am afraid it is a strange performance, it is no wonder that in the secret meeting, she will be excluded by other witches.

“If that’s the case, I’ll explain it to them,” he laughed, “and then, I don’t know if you’re interested in taking care of your inheritance?”

Aigsa rolled her eyes, not a good airway, "It's not mine, it's the legacy of the secret meeting."

...

The boxes were all carried to the basement of the castle, and in addition to Aegsha, Roland called Tilly, Hilde and Anna.

Under Hilvi's examination, the boxes were opened one by one—in fifteen wooden boxes, ten of which contained the magic stone.Roland took out a slap-sized crystal stone and said, "You say that they are all transformed from the stone of divine punishment, and such a large stone is probably worth two or three hundred golden dragons."

“Two or three hundred dragons?”Agesha disdainfully said, "Magic stone can only be made by chaotic beasts, and each piece is a priceless treasure."

“What kind of magic are these?”Tilly asked, "They don't look easy to carry on their bodies."

"Lightstone," she pressed the stone in the prince's hand, infused with magic, and the light yellow glow flowed out, and soon passed the brightness of the torch until the light was somewhat dazzling that she let go.“More than half of it is light stone, and all that is left, except from the wild beasts, which we have seized from the camp of the devil.”

“How do stones of different sizes?”Anna was curious, "Since they were originally stones of divine punishment, it means that they could not be cut with the ability, but the whole stone was very hard, and it did not seem to be like a knife cutting can be done."

“The whole stone?”Ai Gesha shuddered, “You mean the god stone veins?”

“Right at the bottom of the cave in the border town,” Roland said again, “its surface is so hard that even a musket can leave a shallow mark on it.”

"So," she couldn't help but laugh, "you have found my experimental tower by this drawing."Yes, it is indeed a mystery that will be used to mark the shrine veins and build a site for the next holy city.”

“The Holy City?”The four of them were surprised.

“Otherwise you think that there are more than a hundred cities in the fertile plains, but there are only three holy cities.”She raised her mouth, "The so-called holy cities are all cities built on the stone veins of God's punishment."In addition to facilitating the search for the relationship between magic and magic stone, it is also necessary to prevent a wide range of damage caused by witch fighting, which requires a lot of divine punishment.

“So you intended to build a new holy city on the North Slope?”Roland was surprised.

“If the battle of God had not been defeated so quickly,” sighed Egsa, “the same is true of the barbarous ridges at the break-in of the desperate mountains—now you call it the Helmes Plateau, the seat of the holy city of the Church.”

“And they have also continued the name of the Holy City,” frowned, “and that group is more likely to be the heir of the Federation.”

Fortunately, they did not build the holy city of the church in the western state, and Roland quietly spat out.

“In short, the stone itself is almost impossible to destroy, and in order to separate it, a special solvent must be used,” Egsa continued, “the blood of witches with magic...or the blood of the devil.”

“Blood and blood?”Silvey could not help but raise his eyes.

"Yes, according to the quality of the stone, how little blood is needed," she said, "in the holy city, the adult witch has an obligation to give her own blood."Since the blood will soon lose its magic after it is removed from the body, it must be available, and every two or three years, the right witch will go to the mining area to donate blood, and of course, the devils caught will be used to do this.”

“Have you had that experience too?”Anna asked.

"Certainly," said Agra, without a sigh, "even the three seats of the Federation."

“Where is the beast?”“Some hybrids also seem to have magic.”

“Indeed, they are so little magical that they can only be used to deal with broken shrines and are of no use to native veins.”Agra replied, "After the division of the stone, the intensity will drop sharply with the decrease in volume, and the impact range will be greatly reduced."For example, the sacred stone of punishment, which is convenient to carry with you, can be easily broken with a hammer.”
