RELEASE THAT WITCH

Chapters 251-255

Chapter 251 Flying again

On the second day after Maggie's departure, Roland, with the witches assistance, began assembling and installing a new generation of hot air balloons out in the courtyard.

As a result of the expansion of the back garden and the witch dormitory, Leaves had already moved her plants to the front courtyard. With all of the vines covering the walls and the wooden frames along the corridors, it gave quite a prehistoric forest-type of feeling. And as a because of this, it naturally also offered an excellent shield against the sun, allowing the sunshine to only fall through the small gaps in the dense leaf canopy above, only leaving scattered light spots behind on the ground.

Roland gave the witches a stack of white paper, and let them spread it out into a large painting paper, which he then asked Soraya to draw the lightest of sky-blue coating on top of. Compared to the the first hot air balloon, which used a combination of bovine intestinal membrane and canvas, the new generation which purely relied on the coating method was much lighter. Furthermore, it also offered excellent toughness and had no suture lines, so that they didn't need to fear that it would break apart in the mid-air.

"I've heard from Lightning, that there will may be some witches coming over from the Fjords?" Wendy asked in curiousity.

"That might be so, if everything goes well," Roland once more explained about the content of his reply to the 5th Princess, "But to know the actual situation we still have to wait for Tilly Wimbledon's answer."

"It seems that Ashes has succeeded," Wendy mused, "They were actually able to gather so many witches on Sleeping Island."

"Yeah, I'm afraid that Tilly had already started to plan the migration more than one or two years ago," Roland said and spread out his hands. "She had already sent people to secretly contact the witches long ago and not just within Graycastle, but also from all of the other three kingdoms. Your Witch Cooperation Association should also have received an invitation. I guess that's also the reason why even after we spread the rumor of a safe haven for such a long time, no witches have come knocking at our door – we were just a step slower than Tilly."

"Cara has never mentioned this to us," Wendy rubbed her shoulders.

"If she had told you about Tilly's invitation, you might have never wanted to keep on looking for the Holy Mountain, isn't that right?"

"That's is indeed possible, but only by doing it this way, were we able to meet in Border Town," she shook her head while smiling, "Therefore, that she didn't mention it... wasn't bad."

"I also think that it was pretty good," Lightning raised her hand.

"Tsk, we can't say for sure that going to the Fjords wouldn't have been better," Lily curled her lips, "After all, there are only witches there, so they don't need to pay special attention when step out of the house, like here in Border Town."

"It has already become much better than before," Anna said earnestly, "In the past I didn't even dare to go out at all."

"Yes, some people are simply like this. Last time, Ashes clearly wanted to flatly reject our invitation, but she still put on an act." Mystery Moon then mumbled to herself, "Also saying that she wasn't a traitor!"

"You..." Lily opened her eyes wide, "Fool!"

"Traitor!"

The other witches couldn't help themselves from laughing.

"I also think the same," Roland's heart was suddenly filled will a sense of accomplishment. Even though the 5th Princes was smarter and more quick-witted than he was, and he might also not be as powerful or resolute as Timothy and Garcia were, he could at least provide these witches with a free-spirited and comfortable living environment, and at the same time give his people a better life.
