Early the next morning, Agatha got an exquisite parchment scroll from Roland.
"what is this?"
"Contract. After pressing the fingerprint, you are officially a member of the Witch League."
She unfolded the paper roll, read the contents on the paper in detail, and said in surprise, "That's it?"
"Huh?" The other party didn't seem to understand what she meant. "What?"
"The above constraints are meaningless," Agatha pointed to the line of validity. "It only mentioned that Border Town must not be betrayed without violating the consensus of both parties, but there are no restraints. If you really want to betray, I'm afraid There will be no psychological pressure. And the words above are too lax, is this really a contract?"
"Well, what I wrote down at the time was just a form." The prince nodded, not surprised. It seemed that he was not the one who pointed out that there was a problem with this contract.
"The form is full of loopholes." She slandered secretly, poked the stamp pad, and pressed her handprint. The alliance contract has very few requirements for both parties. According to the above terms, there is basically no change after joining. Although she felt a little unnecessary, she felt a lot more relaxed.
She said she was cooperating with mortals, but she knew in her heart that this gray-haired man was the actual leader of the Witch League. If she wanted to serve a mortal as respectfully as she did to the top officials of the Federation or the Lord of the Three Cities, it would be difficult for her to accept it. Now, at least I have considerable freedom.
Roland put away the parchment and asked curiously, "In Taquila, what are the constraints on the contract?"
"This is only needed when recruiting mortals, from physical punishment to mental torture," she pouted. "As for us, we don't need to sign such a thing. The federation is for life. Once you join, defectors have only one way to die."
"Okay," he took a breath, "you are welcome to join the Witch League. Remember to come to the Castle Garden after breakfast. I need to fully test your abilities."
…
The process of the ability test was simpler than Agatha imagined. She demonstrated the various characteristics of her ability in front of the prince, and then answered a few more questions to him and it was over.
"The magic power is in the form of a sky blue pentagonal prism, with a medium level of accommodation. The type is summoning, and the ability has been evolved once. The initial performance effect is to create low temperature. After evolution, it can achieve normal temperature consolidation, a very convenient ability," Roland recorded. After finishing, he asked, "How did you evolve your abilities?"
"Continuous practice and an epiphany," she said proudly, as the youngest high-level awakener, who was called Taquila's genius by everyone in the federation at the time, "I try to keep the temperature down every day. Lower it so that the water can freeze quickly. Until one day, I watched a witch who controlled a flame melt a lead cake into a liquid, and as the flame continued to scorch, the lead water began to boil."
"This scene made me realize that maybe everything has three states: gaseous, liquid and solid lead is solid at room temperature, but as long as the temperature is high enough, it can also be turned into a gas; water is liquid at room temperature, and if the temperature drops It will freeze into ice."
"Then a gas that is in a gaseous state at room temperature can be frozen like lead, as long as the temperature is low enough?"
"With this thought in mind, I quickly felt that the magic in my body had undergone a completely different change, and I was eventually promoted to a high-level witch, and this epiphany was also recorded in the "General Principles of All Laws"."
In fact, she was the youngest person to be included in this book. At that time, even the three seats praised her, believing that this epiphany was not only a great inspiration for the promotion of witches, but also was of great significance to the study of reality. But when she said these words solemnly, the other party's performance was quite calm.
"I see," the prince nodded. "What is the "General Principles of All Laws"?"
"Wait, aren't you... surprised?" Agatha said in surprise, "This world is full of gas, it seems ethereal and weightless, but in fact it can become flowing water, or it can become Congealed ice."
"It's a normal phenomenon, and there are many types of gases, each with different boiling points and melting points," Roland shrugged. "Why should you be surprised? These contents are considered common sense in Basic Principles of Natural Science."
"..." Agatha suddenly felt a little tight in her chest, she took a deep breath, "Okay, I will study this book carefully."
"Then the Law of All Laws"
"It's just to record the perception and process of the evolution of the abilities of all high-level awakened people," she said in a sullen voice, "but the abilities of witches are different, it is difficult to achieve promotion through imitation and reference, and naturally it is not as good as your "Nature" Fundamentals of Science!"
"Did I say something wrong?" The prince looked puzzled.
"No, I'm too arrogant," Agatha felt even more depressed.
"Ahem," he changed the subject, probably seeing his displeasure, "You said just now that witches have different abilities... Could it be that among the thousands of witches in the Federation, there is no one who can repeat it?"
"No," she replied staunchly, "The Quest believes that the form of magic determines ability, but no witch's form of magic is exactly the same."
"But when you saw Anna before, you immediately thought it was a flame-like ability."
"This is just a common method, it's simple and easy to understand. The ability to emit heat can be called flame, but with the growth of magic power, the solidification of adulthood, or the advanced awakening, seemingly the same ability will undergo great changes. . Even in the initial stage of the flame, some witches are good at controlling the temperature, while some witches have a bigger fire, and some can project it out. Even if the difference is temporarily invisible, it is due to the lack of observation methods,” Aige said. Sha said, "The division method of the quest is more formal, and generally speaking, it is similar to your division method."
"It's also three types?" Roland asked.
"Four types, the main difference is that the summoning type will be divided into two types, one is called magic energy, and the other is called shaping. You should be able to understand the difference between them literally."
"Magic energy refers to the summoning of Anna that requires continuous consumption of magic power and disappears once the magic power is stopped, while shaping is a summoning that can exist for a long time like the coating drawn by Soraya?"
"Although I don't know exactly what Soraya's ability looks like, that's almost what it means... Anything that can exist for a long time can be regarded as a shaping summon, such as my normal temperature consolidation."
"Understood," Roland recorded these contents. "This is the end of today's test. As usual, you can practice your abilities when I don't have a task assigned, but I think there may be someone who needs your help urgently."
"Who?"
"Frontier Town's chief alchemist, Kemo Strell.".
