Release that Witch Chapter 326: Contact
"This is where you last docked?" Tilly asked, looking at the towering rock wall ahead.
H.M.S. Clever Belle sailed westward along the shore after seeing the coastline. Ash shouted to stop the ship until it met the beachhead.
"Yeah, look," she pointed to the top of mountain ridge.
Tilly looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw the two orange flags fluttering in the wind.
"Although it was a beach here last time, the two flags show that we have not gone the wrong way."
"I also have impression," the old Jack held his pipe, "but last time they also carried a huge balloon before they carried all the witch across the cliff. How do you get over it?"
"Huge balloon?" Tilly wondered.
"Yeah, you can fly up with hot air," Ash nodded. "It is said to be the invention of His Royal Highness Roland. The principle is to use the power of hot air to rise and hold the balloon with people."
The look of Fifth Princess was a little complicated for a while. "The court instructor hasn't taught these things." Then she exhaled. "I'll see him anyway soon, and I will know the result by then. Let's go ashore."
"Are you sure you are not waiting for him to pick you up on the boat?" The captain shook off the ashes, "What about this cliff?"
"Just give it to Shavi," Tilly smiled.
Since this is a naturally formed coast, no one knows the depth of the sea floor. H.M.S. Clever Belle does not dare to lean too close. It can only send people to the mountain shallows by releasing a landing boat.
After a group of people stepped on the thick snow, Tilly looked at One Eye Jack, "Mr. Captain, so please wait for three or four days here. Lotus, they need your help to return Sleeping Island."
"Of course," the captain replied, "I wouldn't dare go back without you on board. God knows if those mutated water ghost will come again."
Tilly walked to the edge of the cliff and used the ability of magic stone to fly straight to the top of the mountain. It was observed that the terrain behind the surrounding situation mountain was much higher than the shallows, almost the same as the top of the mountain, that is, it only needed to climb and not land. The height of the mountain wall is about fifty steps, and the consumption of magic power will increase significantly when the barrier is used to lift objects, but this distance should not be difficult for Shavi. She slowly landed next to the four, "Shavi, the three of them will bother you."
"Yes, Lady Tilly," the latter slaps her chest with a smile, and then summons the invisible barrier. After two days of rest, she has recovered from the fierce clash of the undersea giants, and waited until everyone stepped on the transparent The barrier, she drives the magic power, causing it to rise slowly upwards, and after a short time it turned over the hill.
Then, under the guidance of Ash, it took the party a long time to finally reach Border Town.
The first thing that caught the eye of Tilly was a uniquely shaped steel bridge. It sits across a wide river, and there are only two piers at the bottom, except for the neatly arranged iron beams and iron pillars, without any extra decoration and pattern on the body. The snow covered on the bridge surface contrasts with the exposed black bridge body, and there is an indescribable momentum at a glance.
"This bridge ... is so big," Breeze sighed, "how many iron ingots did they melt to make such a bridge?"
“It ’s really a waste of materials. Obviously, floating bridge can solve the traffic problem. Why is it necessary to build it so high?” Ash disagrees. “Border Town itself is the last stop of the merchant merchant fleet. Are there any boats that want to go to the river? Business from the birthplace? "
"Slightly remarks," Andrea shakes the index finger gracefully, "Even if I am not a Greycastle person, I can see that this forest land in the west is of great reclamation value. There is no town now, which does not mean that it will not be in the future. It ’s a good choice to expand the area to the uninhabited area. By then, floating bridge will become a roadblock that hinders river transportation. The older brother of Lady Tilly is obviously longer than you think. "
Ash raised an eyebrow, "Before I still liked the rude noble of savage cooking, now I'll change my name to Lady Tilly?"
"The vulgar noble term was added by you," the blonde witch looked down in disdain, "in addition, long-term vision does not conflict with brutal cooking, you don't have to fiddle with Lady Tilly."
Tilly didn't pay attention to the routine dispute between the two, but set their sights across the river.
She noticed an incredible phenomenon.
At this time, there is still light snow in the sky, and the temperature is no different from the cold winter. It is reasonable to say that the townspeople should hide in their homes at this time, either by the stove or by the quilt. Even in Kingdom Capital, if you don't see a few people on the street in winter, the severe cold will exacerbate the loss of physical strength. If you want to keep your body warm, you must eat a little more than usual, let alone mention that the door has the danger of contracting wind and cold. Therefore, in addition to the necessary food and drink, the vast majority of civilians will always avoid action in winter.
However, there are people on the river bank of small town. Some people are pushing the cart, some are carrying big bags, and they are hurried, looking like they are working. Tilly did not find a supervisor with a whip around them, that is to say, these people were working voluntarily.
This ... how is that possible?
Immediately after crossing the iron bridge, two guards with strange pistols came over. They wore uniform and looked trembling. Their look was completely different from the patrols common in big cities. "Stop, why are you Come from the south? "One of them looked at them for a moment," Wait, are you ... witch? "
Tilly was a little stunned by this question. Although it was already known that the town had publicly known the existence of witch, when she personally heard an ordinary person asking this sentence in such a calm tone, bottom of heart still caused a wave . "Yes, we are witch."
"I want to come to joining Cooperation Association," the guard laughed, "wait for trouble here, I will immediately report to it."
"Waiting? No, this is it"
"Okay, we'll wait here." Tilly interrupted Ash, "Also, can I ask what these people are busy with?"
"Ah, they are rushing to repair the dock, because this heavy snow came too suddenly and many things are messed up. I don't know exactly what to do. "
When the guards returned to their posts, Ash asked in puzzlement, "Why not tell them your identity?"
"Aren't you curious? How will he receive an witch from another city." Tilly blinked playfully.
It didn't take long for a woman of tall, dressed in white clothes, to walk over to this side. She has long blonde curly hair, and her appearance is impeccable. Even if magic power is not visible, Tilly can feel the sharp momentum emanating from her, just like a sharp blade.
There is no doubt that the visitor is an combat type witch, and it is an extremely powerful one.
"I really thought there was a new witch who wanted to come to joining Cooperation Association, didn't you return to Sleeping Island?" She glanced at Ash first, and then swept everyone. When her eyes fell on Tilly, she suddenly snapped, and suddenly, the sharp feeling disappeared, replaced by the warmth like water.
"Hello, my name is Nightingale," she nodded and said, "You must be Tilly Wimbledon, Your Highness Roland's sister?"
(To be continued.)
