Chapter 156 Putting the picture together

Theo ascended a se of Border Town and also the outline of the Lord’s Castle

Finally, I’ht, previously in order to reach Silver City he had needed half a est time of which was spent on the road between Silver City and Redwater City Although it seemed that Ashes didn’t care for it herself, Theo still chose scarcely used trails to reduce the possibility of being caught by the Church

Ashes was the naotten from his witch companion, but even after all this time Theo didn’t know if that na their travel, she was always dressed in a black robe and a great srapped in clothes on her back

Her long black hair was tied into a si the ride or their travel on a boat, she rarely put her focus on Theo She alalked alone at the front, taking in the surrounding scenery Probably for her, this trip to Border Toas just a relaxed and co tour

Soment, was she really a soldier? She could easily stu hair was equivalent to showing plenty of holes in her defenses Further of their journey Ashes never see her back to him, the part of her body that he saw from her the most, was always her back

He didn’t believe that a witch would be able to trust other people so quickly, only letting hih in her own abilities, that even a God’s Stone of Retaliation wouldn’t be a threat to her

Theo circled the hillside, soon finding his goal, a flagpole with a red flag hanging on it He went to the flagpole and dug a bundle out fro which was used as a replaceround and clasped his hands

“That’s all you have to do?” Asked Ashes

“At least that hat they had said,” Theo wiped away the sweat that had appeared on his forehead “Go to the foot of the hill on the northeast side of the town There you have to follow the stone trail until you reach a flagpole When you arrived at the pole, you only need to replace the flying flag with the blue one buried beside the pole We will see the flag and soon arrive at your location, so from then on you will only need to wait and ill come”

Ashes nodded and then began to look for a relatively clean place to sit, she then reached out her hand in Theo’s direction, “Eat”

“Uh…wait a moment!” Theo unlocked his backpack and took a piece of dried meat from inside it He first tore it in half and threw one piece of it into his ownthe rest of the meat to Ashes

Theo sighed when he saw the witch put the an to chew Who could have thought that in addition to her great sword, she did not even have one copper royal on her whole body Even though she was totally penniless she still dared to swagger sothe whole way, all the accommodation and meals had been paid for by hile bedrooms of the finest quality, and when they ate it could only be s like portable foods Furthermore, always had to eat the first half of it by himself before she would eat her part

Probably with the exception of the time she was on the field, she was a very cautious person However, wouldn’t the most prudent approach to safety be to prepare her own food?

“You alanted to knohere we are going; it is to the opposite part of the channel” After sing the meat, Ashes suddenly said, “I am not sure if you’ve ever heard the rumors about the Fjords, but there are countless islands there Soerous environ to settle on one of those islands and build ho to witches”

“…” Theo was stunned, no matter how he had tried to inquire from her before, she had always been silent, so why had she suddenly taken the initiative by herself to bring up this matter?

“Are you surprised, are you asking yourself why I didn’t bring up this subject before?”

Ashes began to explain seriously “There was the possibility that you were a liar, ould pretend to sleep but at night would instead run to the Church But now the girls should have already reached halfway to their goal; they should already have entered the merchant ferry to the Fjord So even if you tell them now, the Church will be unable to stop them Also, I came here to take the other witches of the Witch Cooperation association with me, so sooner or later the neill have already reached your ear, thus continuing to hide it has already becoless”

“Even though I’ve already brought you to Border Town, you still cannot rule out the possibility that I’m a liar”

“Yes, that’s true,” said Ashes, stressing every word, “But in the end, if we are unable to ether with everyone else who is trying to harm us witches”

“All right,” Theo took a deep breath “Can I ask you some other questions?”
