The Charming Beauty slowly approached the dock. When Tilly walked out of the cabin, she saw that the dock was already full of witches waiting to welcome her.
"Lady Tilly, you're finally back!" With the help of the Magic Servant, Molly was the first to rush up to her.
"Ah, so cunning!" Honey cried.
"Yes, where's Orbit? Hurry up and open the door so that we can go in too! "Shadow shouted.
"Stop it, my ability is not for you to harass Lady Tilly!"
The crowd immediately burst into laughter. Looking at the sincere smiles on everyone's faces, Tilly felt that the depression in her heart over the past few days had dissipated quite a bit.
No matter what, this was her home, a country built by witches.
Walking on the dock, Camilla Dary came up to her and said, "You were gone for so long, I was worried that you wouldn't come back."
"Of course not," Tilly said with a smile, "I just didn't expect that the Months of Demons would last so long. How's the Sleeping Island? "
"Of course, now that you've given it to me, I certainly won't let you down," Camilla said, putting her hand on her chest. "All in all, things are looking up, and the Sleeping Spell is a good idea. I'll report the details to you later, but now... I'd better hand you over to all the witches. "She blinked and said," Otherwise, I'll be swallowed alive by them. "
As a great noble born in King's City, Camilla was very good at managing affairs, and was the main executor of Tilly's gathering of witches. It was because of her that Tilly dared to leave the Fjords for a long time and go to the Western Region of the Kingdom to explore.
She shook her head helplessly and walked past the "Chief Butler of Sleeping Island". When she raised her hand to the crowd, she was surrounded by a swarm of witches.
"Your Highness, have you seen my brother? How did he treat you?"
"I heard that there is also a witch organization in the town. Will they come and live with us?"
"The people in that remote town really don't lack food and clothes, and they all live in new houses?"
"It's good that you're back, everyone missed you."
Tilly responded to everyone's questions and concerns until Shavi flew onto the dock with a pile of books. Only then did everyone turn their attention to this batch of "priceless treasures".
"What is this?" someone asked curiously.
"Ancient relics?"
"No matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like it. The pages are all new. Maybe it's a legendary story?"
"Or a theater script? To tell you the truth, I haven't seen a play in a long time. "
"Ah … but what if I can't read?"
Tilly clapped her hands to calm everyone down. "These are gifts from His Highness Roland Wimbledon, including reading and writing manuals, basic mathematics, and the principles of nature! To put it simply, they are knowledge! "
"Know … sense?"
Most of the witches looked confused. Only a few noble witches, including Camilla, looked surprised. "Are you going to teach everyone knowledge?"
Tilly nodded. "This is also the only shortcut to improve our own abilities."
Roland had mentioned that universal education was not an easy thing to achieve. It required a lot of money and time. When people put down their work and spread out their books to learn how to read and write, it meant that the territory temporarily lost a part of the labor force. In addition, encouraging them to study actively also required the support of money, including the teachers' salaries and the construction of school buildings, which was not a small number. The most important thing was that, unlike doing business, it would not have an immediate effect. It required the governor to implement it over a long period of time.
But the changes it brought were impressive, not only for ordinary people, but also for witches. Tilly had already seen this in Border Town. Before going to the Western Region, she had never thought that a group of ordinary people could shine with such vitality and vitality.
After returning to the Summer Palace, just as she was about to start arranging the universal education plan according to Scroll's method, Ashes knocked on the door. "Thunder wants to see you."
"Ha, long time no see, Your Highness Tilly." Thunder was still the same, with a hearty and friendly smile. "How was it? Did this trip to the Western Region solve your problems?"
"To be honest, I didn't find the answer." Tilly shook her head with a smile. "After all, he has some reservations about me. But in the current situation, these things have become less important... By the way, do you know about demons? "
"A monster from hell?" Thunder raised his eyebrows. "In epics and legends, it is often heard that the heroic Knight stepped forward bravely and used a spear stained with dragon's blood to kill these ferocious and terrible enemies."
"This time, they are not the enemies in the books." She exhaled.
"Uh... what do you mean?"
"I don't know whether those dragons exist or not, but the demons are real." Tilly briefly told him about the Witch Union and the Battle of Divine Will. "The Four Kingdoms are just the Barbarian Land of the past. If we lose again, human beings will have no way out."
"There's actually such a thing!" Thunder did not say a word. After listening to her, he exclaimed, "The ruins all over the world are the work of witches, and Border Town actually found an ancient witch from more than 400 years ago? This... this is incredible! The harvest you have gained from this trip is more than the secrets I have discovered in my life! "
Tilly was slightly stunned. "Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid? Of course I am... "he said excitedly." But compared to the burning desire to explore in my heart, this fear is nothing! Damn it, I really want to go to Graycastle myself and see the living ruins! "
Princess Tilly did not know whether to laugh or cry. The main purpose of going to the Western Region was to see Agatha, not her own daughter. She did not know whether she should be happy or sad for Lightning.
"Without this experience, I'm afraid the title of the greatest explorer in the Fjords could only belong to you." Thunder sighed for a while and said, "But... I also found something very extraordinary."
"Please go ahead."
"I went to the east of the Sealine again."
"The Sealine?" Tilly was puzzled. "What's that?"
"Ah, I forgot that you were still in Border Town when I came back last time." He touched the back of his head. "It's a cliff made of seawater, which divides the sea into two planes. However, ships can travel freely on it, just like... a spider climbing a wall."
"What? That's impossible!"
"I had the same reaction when I first saw it, but the Sealine does exist." Thunder said proudly, "What's more incredible is that I drove Courage over the Sealine and was lucky enough to witness the whole process of a high tide. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined how spectacular the scene was. The seawater gradually flowed faster and faster, and finally rushed to the lowest point of the cliff. If it weren't for Molly's servants protecting the ship, I'm afraid Courage would have been broken on the spot! "
"I turned the wheel to steer the ship straight in the direction of the seawater. Plus, there was a strong wind at that time, so the two maintained a very delicate balance. Courage couldn't go any further, but it also wouldn't be swept off the cliff by the current. " He paused here, as if he was recalling the excitement at that time. "Of course, the Sealine is not a real cliff. We've all seen what a waterfall looks like. The straight curtain of water, the splash of water, and the roar of the water. But there, except for the flowing seawater, there was nothing. I knew that even if Courage was pushed off the Sealine, it would just be the same as the process of climbing up, returning to the side of the lower terrain. "
"And then?" Tilly asked eagerly.
