Witch Punk 2840

Chapter 311 Penetration

Unlike most other witch contracts, the type of "Thunder Feather" is not "magic" but "contract subject".

According to the terms of the contract, the person who makes the contract can borrow a feather of thunder from ■■■■, and use it to achieve the effects of flying and attacking. As long as the contract is established, the person who makes the contract can continue to borrow the feather. When the contract is terminated, the feather of thunder will disappear from the person who makes the contract and return to ■■■■.

In other words, "Thunder Feather" is a lease agreement, and the price of renting Thunder Feather is also clearly stated in the terms of the contract:

"Each time the Thunder Wing is deployed, it consumes additional magic power from the holder."

But in the "Thunder Feather" contract signed by Xia Ye, the number in the above clause [ ] is "0".

In other words, she didn't have to pay rent for borrowing the Thunder Feather.

In the past, this has always been a source of confusion for Xia Ye, but now, this question seems to have been answered.

Since activating the giant head, the level of the "Thunder Feather" contract has suddenly jumped from level 1 to level 5, and the terms of the contract have also changed slightly:

Thunder Feather (Level 5)——
Feather of Thunder (subject of the “Baal” column contract)——
This is a feather woven from lightning. The holder can unfold it into wings, allowing the holder to fly at an [extremely fast] speed for no longer than [10+2N] seconds. At the end of the flight, the wings will bloom into a [99*N] cluster of lightning. If the holder specifies a target, it can attack the specified target within a range of [100+10N] meters. If the holder does not specify a target, it will attack all targets within a spherical range with a radius of [50+5N] meters centered on the holder. The holder can also choose not to make any attacks. During the flight, the holder can end the flight state early.
-
After blooming, the lightning will re-aggregate into the Thunder Feather within [10-2N] seconds. After the aggregation is completed, the holder can unfold it again.
-
Each time the Thunder Feather is deployed, the owner will need to consume an additional [0] magic power.
-
Each time the Thunder Wing is deployed, it consumes additional magic power of the holder.
-
The feathers lent by the Witch Queen to all holders are like lightning that will gather into feathers of thunder after blooming. One day, all the feathers of thunder will return to their original owners.
-
[N] represents the rank of the "Thunder Feather" contract, and [Extremely Fast] represents the extremely fast speed that the holder can reasonably perceive.

……

The part that was originally covered by ■■■■ was revealed - it was the "Witch King".

Based on this, it makes sense that I can use the Thunder Feather without consuming any magic power.

If I were the reborn Witch King, or at least a part of her, then the ownership of the Thunder Feather would belong to me, and since I was "renting" an item to myself, I certainly didn't need to pay rent.

On the contrary, since his role changed from "borrower" to "owner", the contract terms, which obviously did not change much, could now be read with another meaning - perhaps he could lend the Feather of Thunder to other people?
Time goes back a quarter of an hour:
Inside the cockpit of the Moby Dick.

"What's going on?" Looking at Xia Ye who seemed to have been hit on the head by something, Yaha couldn't help but ask again.

This time, Xia Ye finally answered her: "My connection with the Strike Witches was cut off by something..."

She quickly described the situation she had just encountered.

"It sounds a bit like 'Silk Curtain'." Ke Lun at the side suddenly interrupted.

"The Silk Curtain Contract?"

"Yes, it's the kind that's arranged at the junction of Upper City and Midtown. The effect is similar to what you just described."

"But...why would Mothmon use a contract?"

"It may not be a contract. It may just be an ability with similar effect. Let me ask Susa..." Keren paused for a few seconds before speaking again: "...Sure enough, she ignored me."

But the focus now is not on this. "Let's assume that it is the 'Silk Curtain' contract, is there any way to penetrate its barrier?" Xia Ye asked again.

"...Distance." Colen thought for a moment and replied.

"According to Magic Dynamics, no matter what kind of contract it is, its effect is based on magic density. As long as the distance between you and the Strike Witches decreases, the magic density required to maintain your connection will increase. As long as it is higher than the magic density of the Silk Curtain barrier, you can penetrate it and restore communication."

Although according to the research results of that past "summer night", the so-called "magic energy dynamics" is most likely a wrong theory, but this is not an academic research at the moment. Regardless of right or wrong, it is better to give it a try than not to try at all.

"Where is the 'Brenhill' now?" she asked.

"It has been moving at full speed and is now very close to the area covered by the 'Silk Curtain'." Ke Lun said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the rapid-fire gunboat that came forward to provide support would actually come in handy... Xia Ye looked at Colen's smile and always felt that the other party was saying: Look, you still have to rely on me?

"I'll go to the 'Brenhill' now." Xia Ye said, then turned to Yaha and said, "The command of the fleet is left to you."

"Go ahead. I'll have the other ships speed up and catch up, and enter the Silk Curtain as soon as possible to support you."

"Remember to let 'Susa' guide you. She will still help with small things like this." Ke Lun reminded.

Xia Ye nodded and walked out of the cab quickly. The "Thunder Feather" turned into crimson wings, spread out at her waist, and took her into the ether sea. The cooling time of the "Thunder Feather" is [10-2N] seconds, which means that after the contract level reaches level 5, the cooling time will become 0.

At the same time, now when the feather reaches the maximum flight time, the holder can choose not to make any attacks, avoiding the dilemma of being forced to explode like a big firework as in the past.

After flying over the sea of ​​clouds for 20 seconds, the wings behind Xia Ye bloomed into 495 clusters of lightning. Since she had no intention of attacking, the lightning sank into the void the moment it bloomed, with almost no pause. They immediately returned from the void and regrouped into a feather. Then, the feather turned into wings and continued to fly forward with Xia Ye.

The flying speed of the "Thunder Feather" was very fast. After the feathers bloomed two or three times, the "Moby Dick" was thrown out of sight, and the "Brenhill" was also missing. This was of course - in the vast sea of ​​​​ether, looking for a ship less than 100 meters long is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, Xia Ye needed to rely on the ability of the Flower Witch.

"Susha, I need the location of Colen on the 'Brenhill'." Xia Ye said to the flowers lying at the bottom of the quilt.

The flower did not move, but after a moment, Susa's voice rang in Xia Ye's head:

"The god you called is busy and unable to respond in time:

"--To check the status of the flower, please say '1';
"--To invoke the flower's ability, say '2';
……

"--To find the location of a flower, say '6';
“--If you want to praise the beauty of this deity, please leave a message;

"■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■..."

Xia Ye could only understand the first few sentences. Then came another language she had never heard before. After a few sentences, it changed to another unfamiliar language... She was speechless for a while, and finally said:
"6"

After a while, a grain of pollen flew over from a distance with a long tail of light. It landed lightly on Xia Ye's shoulder, then quickly expanded and turned into a petite white-haired girl, lying on Xia Ye's back.

The "girl" raised one arm, pointed in a direction, and said in a dull tone: "This way."

Xia Ye racked her brains but never expected that the other party would tell her the location of the other flower in this way.

"Who are you?" she asked curiously.

"I am a grain of pollen." the other party said dully.

"How come you are so light? I can't feel the weight at all."

"I don't know. I'm just a grain of pollen."

"Do you know what stands between me and the Strike Witches? Is it the Silk Curtain contract?"

"I don't know. I'm just a grain of pollen."

"You're so stupid."

"I don't know. I'm just a grain of pollen."

……

Along the way, Xia Ye tried various topics, but the other party would only answer with the same sentence. Fortunately, he was diligent in giving directions, and soon, the "Brenhill" with a long and narrow hull appeared in sight.

As he walked into the cab, the "girl" lying on his back immediately turned back into a dot of light and disappeared without a trace among the flowers in Colen's hair.

"According to the estimated sailing time, we should be very close to the Silk Curtain, but we can't see anything." Kelun pointed out the window. In front of the bow, there was only an endless sea of ​​clouds and more than a dozen wakes that looked like those caused by whales.

"The Strike Witches saw a similar scene at the time." Xia Ye felt a little regretful, "I shouldn't have rashly let them attack."

She opened the "Communication Debt" and was surprised to find that it had updated several call messages between the Strike Witches. It seemed that as Colen said, as long as the distance was close enough, it was possible to penetrate the barrier of the "Silk Curtain".

Clicking on any of them at random, a call mixed with huge noises rang out. Xia Ye listened to it and looked at Kelun with a frown:

"One of the team members mentioned a giant jellyfish hanging upside down in the sky. Have you heard of anything like that?"
