Lily wrapped her wet hair in a towel and went back to her room.
Although the prince has been accused of being too hedonistic before, I have to say that the bathroom thing is really... wonderful. Enjoy the cold well water under the shower, swept away the sultry and sticky feeling brought by the scorching sun, and the body seems to be reborn after a busy day.
But after taking a leisurely shower, she felt a little guilty. That day, I couldn't hold back for a while, and I tried to speak quickly. Should I apologize to His Highness
"traitor!"
"What?" Lily lifted the strands of hair stuck to her forehead.
"You clearly said that you don't believe in the small ball theory at all, but now you are the first to evolve new abilities," Miyue sat on the bed with her upper body upright and pointed at her, "You are a big liar!"
Lily rolled her eyes, "I don't believe it now, everything is made of small balls... how is that possible."
"But Sister Nightingale said that your magic power has condensed."
"It has nothing to do with the small ball," she shrugged, climbed onto the bed and pressed the hand of Mystery Moon, "His Royal Highness said that evolution does not have to accept the small ball theory, as long as you can deeply understand your own abilities, you can also make a qualitative change in magic power. ."
"Really?" Miyue pouted.
"That's what he said anyway."
Mystery month was not taken seriously when she was in the mutual aid club, which led to her lack of self-confidence, Lily thought. Different from myself, food preservation is a very important ability for the mutual aid association in food shortage. And she can also understand the other party's feelings, because after coming to Border Town, her ability has become useless and completely useless. She was also afraid that she would be kicked out of the town, but the result was the exact opposite of her fears. Although His Royal Highness did not assign her additional tasks, her attitude towards her was not much different from that of other witches.
Maybe this is also the reason why Miyue became more and more timid and became more and more daring before the change. Most of her timidity was because Hakara had never looked at her directly, and she was even forbidden to use her abilities in the camp.
"Then..." Miyue frowned, "How can I understand my abilities? His Highness said that the magnetic field cannot be seen or touched, and the microscope is useless."
"Don't ask me, I don't understand either," Lily yawned. "Actually, I only know what my abilities look like. Those cells, bacteria, fungi that His Highness said... I don't understand at all. He He also said that he wanted to write a textbook for me," she said helplessly, "please forgive me, I don't even know all the words."
"I also want to become more powerful," Miyue rolled on the bed, "I also want to do more for His Highness!"
Lily sighed, she was obviously older than herself, but she was younger than herself, really... "Go and ask Sister Anna."
"Ask her?" The tumbling stopped immediately.
"Yes, aren't you afraid of delaying His Highness's time? Then ask Sister Anna for advice." Lily said, "Apart from His Royal Highness Roland, she is the only one who knows the most in the whole town."
"But Anna is also very busy. I heard that she makes all the machines in the town now," Miyue hesitated.
"So you can find free time to ask her for advice, such as after dinner, ask her to help heat the bath water, or simply invite her to take a bath together, don't you have a lot of time to ask?" The little girl suggested.
"What you said... seems to make sense," her eyes lit up.
"Then go to bed, you have to get up early tomorrow." Lily untied the towel on her head, wiped it twice, and fell down on the pillow. "You go blow out the candles."
"Well, okay." She crawled to the end of the bed and blew out the candle, "Good night."
…
The next day, Lily did not go to the kitchen or the wheat warehouse to practice her skills as usual, but sat down at the table and began to learn to use the microscope.
This is a new task assigned by His Royal Highness. Before the teaching materials arrive, fully understand the types and shapes of various cells and fungi, and record their differences. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to write, just draw.
Moreover, according to His Royal Highness, Anna is still trying to produce a microscope with a higher magnification. If it can achieve a magnification effect of 400 times, she will be able to see finer microbial bacteria.
Naturally, the content of future exercises will no longer be fresh-keeping, but will try to diversify the uses of the mother and replica. Lily finds this a bit difficult to understand, but fortunately, His Highness suggested several training directions, such as ordering them to simulate the appearance of a single cell, or instructing them to destroy or improve cells with consciousness. Of course, these must be based on a full understanding of all kinds of subtle life forms. Although Lily doesn't know if she can do that, she has to try.
What's more, exploring the unknown world itself is a very interesting thing.
In the evening, Miyue came back with a frustrated look.
"What?" she asked curiously, "Did Sister Anna say anything?"
"She said a lot," Miyue threw herself on the bed, "but I didn't understand a word. She said that the magnetic field is everywhere, and the compass can point the way because we are in a huge magnetic field, isn't it? It means that my abilities are useless at all. Not to mention the principle of the magnetic field, what kind of motion is the charged ball and the magnetic force are interdependent, and the magnetic field can also generate current... Sure enough, you can't progress without understanding the ball theory?" She muttered in a low voice , "You say, am I too stupid?"
"A little bit." Lily said while holding her forehead.
"traitor!"
…
Wendy is very happy that another sister in the Witch Union has gained a new ability.
Moreover, Lily's evolution has made other witches enthusiastic about learning. After tonight's class ended, there were still people who kept pestering the book to ask questions. Even Maisie listened to the lecture by squatting on the chandelier after hearing that learning could increase her ability.
Except for one person.
When she returned to the room with "Theoretical Foundations of Natural Science" in hand, Nightingale was lying on the table, concentrating on arranging something.
Wendy knew that it must have nothing to do with studying.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Divided into dried fish slices, do you want to eat them?" Yeying said vaguely, holding a piece of dried fish in her mouth, "Just brought it from the kitchen."
"So much?" Wendy looked at the golden dried dried fish piled up on the table in surprise, the rich honey aroma wafted out of her nostrils.
"Well, the chef saw that I came every day, so he simply baked the rest. Anyway, this thing can be kept for a long time." She took out a small cloth bag and put a handful of food in it. And there are five or six of the same cloth bags on the table, each of which is stuffed.
Wendy suddenly understood that what she was doing was preparing dry food. Whenever the Mutual Aid Society was ready to leave town, it had to divide the dry food according to the quantity and put it into the cloth bag it carried with it. No matter how hungry you are along the way, you can only eat the prescribed amount, so as not to run out of food. Since coming to Border Town, with the stable supply of three meals and the frequent afternoon tea, no sisters have done this again.
Of course, for Nightingale, rather than preparing dry food, it is more appropriate to prepare snacks.
"Don't you read books?"
"Anyway, I don't understand, just hearing those theories and theorems makes my head dizzy," Nightingale swallowed the dried fish and smiled, "And my abilities are enough, it doesn't matter if I advance or not."
I see.
Compared to her before, Nightingale's eyes shone brightly at this moment. There was no reluctance or hesitation, only incomparable naturalness. It is impossible for a confused person to show such an expression, Wendy thought, she has found her goal.
Once Nightingale understands the path she wants to take, she will show her firm side. It was like this when she left the noble family, it was like this when she faced Hakara, and it is the same now.
But Wendy didn't ask, because she believed that one day she would see the answer with her own eyes. (. If you like this work, you are welcome to come and vote, your support is my biggest motivation. Please come.)
