Release that Witch

The fourth place is Sylvie.

In the face of this witch, Roland always felt a little uncomfortable. It was not the nightingale who said that she had too many lies. In modern society, except for relatives and good friends, few people would be blunt, and various special effects were added. Touted and rumored, he has long been accustomed to it.

He just felt that he had a feeling of nowhere to hide in front of her. What is even worse was that he knew that this was not an illusion, but that the ability of the other party was the same. Ignore the visuals of the obstacles, as long as she thinks, the clothes on her body are equal. Roland sighed why he didn't have such ability, and he couldn't help but change his sitting position and lifted his legs.

On the appearance, she is the most chic of the five witches: a long green hair with a straight shoulder, a slender eyebrow, and a glimpse of Qi Liu. Especially her amber eyes, transparent, almost no depth, as if reflecting all the light in a mirror. After watching it for a long time, Roland always felt that there was a red mark in it.

Sylvie's ability is very well understood, she can see that all the scenes within the scope of the body are no exception, and the vision can penetrate the obstacles, depending on her thoughts. In addition, she also has a branching ability similar to the nightingale: you can see the convergence and dissipation of magic.

This makes Roland feel a little surprised, if the branching ability can be so close, then the main ability? He asked Hilli about the problem, and the latter hesitated, saying that among the hundreds of witches on the island, they did not find the same ability. The nightingale on the left side verified this sentence as the truth.

Probably because the sample is too small, Roland thought.

The last witch who appeared was a candle.

Like Anna, she ushered in her adult day in the last year of the Demon Moon. In underage, her ability can only be applied to lighting such as candles, lamp oil, torches, etc. The magic power is stabilized in adulthood and the effect is greatly enhanced. The contacted objects can maintain their original characteristics for a period of time, for example, on ice cubes. After the exhibition, it will not melt under the sun, and it will still burst into a cold.

This ability at first glance seems incredible, and it can do things that many conventional means can't do, but after several rounds of testing, Roland found that it was not as perfect as imagined. First of all, it is a kind of enchanting ability, which needs to be in direct contact with the target. This limitation makes it difficult for the candle to solidify some high temperature objects.

So he tried to get a drop of molten steel that was always in the incandescent state. The plan to provide a heat source for the blast furnace was bankrupt. Except for Anna, no one dared to touch thousands of things with his hands. When it becomes a thin wire, the candle can hold the other end for enchantment, but this raises another problem.

That is, the farther the object is solidified from the normal state, the greater the magical power consumption, and the shorter the sustained effect.

Roland used ice cubes to verify that ice cubes of the same size were solidified, one on the hot ground, one in the basin, the former only melted for half an hour, while the latter lowered the water temperature. The cold still maintains its original shape.

This means that if you switch to red hot wire or steel bars, the effect will only be worse.

Finally, the volume is also a factor that restricts the ability of the candle to play. Like the hummingbird and the mysterious moon, the larger the object is, the more magic is consumed. According to the observation of the nightingale, her own magic is at the middle and lower level, like a golden mist, and has not yet formed a strong cyclone.

Even so, this seemingly introverted girl is still Roland's biggest gain in the field of industrial production. The state of solidified objects is completely invaluable, and the key lies in the term "normal". Under the influence of heating, cooling, friction, and force, the metal will be fatigued and the structure will be deformed. He doesn't need a bit that gets hot due to friction, and he doesn't need to wear gears that are getting worn out. If a key part of a machine can be kept in a normal state, it means it can always operate at maximum efficiency and with the highest precision.

In other words, the ignition can effectively improve the mechanical strength of inferior metals.

......

Returning to the castle office, Roland revisited the recorded abilities and began planning their future work.

"How," the nightingale poked his head out of the fog. "Is this five witches particularly fond of it?"

"It's not bad," Roland said casually.

"What! Do you like it?"

He glanced at the other side, who spit out his tongue and licked the dried fish.

Obviously, the most useful thing at the moment is lotus and candlelight.

With the ability to transform the terrain, he can easily build a new earthen wall outside the city wall. In order to save materials and speed up the construction period, he chose the nearest pass from the foot of the North Slope to the Chishui River. It can be completed before the arrival of the demon moon, but it also limits the scope of the town's expansion to the west. As the population continues to grow, it is sooner or later to develop this wilderness and hide the forest.

The new earthen wall will extend to the outer edge of the fascinating forest, and a piece of wood will be included, so that the town will nearly double the area. As for the lengthened defense line, it can be solved by expanding the source of the army and artificially guiding the offensive direction of the evil beast. In any case, compared to the previous year's wooden spear plus front-mounted rifle, the first army's firepower projection capability has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the defensive measures such as the turret and the bastion can also be borrowed from the new city wall. Completed together.

In addition, he also intends to let the lotus open a passage in the southern mountains, so that the border town can directly reach the shallows. In this way, the town can get a natural harbor and trade with the fjord is more convenient. Considering the huge magical consumption of the reconstructed rock formation, the project may take several months.

The work of the candlelight is to work with Anna and Lucia to create a new generation of machine tools for the production of firearms and other mechanical equipment. If it goes well, Anna can also be freed from the boring processing.

Sylvie's mission is very clear, mainly to explore the North Slope mine and the hidden forest. According to the miners, there are more than a hundred natural caves in the northern **** of the mine, and no one knows where they will eventually lead. Nowadays, there are only a few passages that have been mined and cleaned up. Only a few ores have been discovered. Roland is very curious about the credibility of the rumors of the so-called ancient monster lair. Now that she has the perspective of the witch, he wants to explore the northern **** mining area completely, draw a detailed map, and let the lotus match the terrain to improve the efficiency of mining.

As for honey, Roland didn't have much thought, just to strengthen his ability to transmit information in the era of no radio. He needs a large number of well-trained birds to serve as homing pigeons. They are not required to be as smart as McMug, as long as they can pass the information to their hands as soon as possible. (To be continued. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
