The third witch, Hummingbird, was a small witch, just like her nickname. She was much more reserved than other witches when asked about her abilities. She just came of age this winter, and her symmetrical dimples, delicate facial features, and soft voice make her look extra cute.
Her ability is to "lighten objects". After attaching magic power to objects, their weight can be greatly reduced. According to her, it is close to zero. After Roland had the hummingbird demonstrate it live with his own teacup, he found that the cup could almost float in the air—that is, its weight was about equal to air. Of course, in the eyes of people of this age, air has no weight.
It seemed that this was also the reason why the Mutual Aid Society was able to traverse the western border of Greycastle without the need for supplies. With the help of the little girl, bags of wheat and dried fish can be easily carried on the road, and only a few people can carry a large amount of materials, which can greatly reduce the logistical pressure.
Although hummingbirds are adults, they do not develop branching abilities. Its main ability must be cast in contact with the target, and it is invalid for living bodies. The larger the object, the longer the transformation time and the more magic power it consumes. Once the conversion is complete, it can last for several hours.
This ability seems to be very suitable for the transportation industry, and it is also very promising in the face of the upcoming war, but there are too many unknown elements, and further experiments must be carried out to determine.
Roland wrote at the bottom of the parchment: Use stones of different weights as objects to practice, control the output of magic power, and make the effective time and the expiry time precisely controllable.
After finishing the training plan for the three, he asked the attendants to add a candlestick to brighten the room. But even so, under the swaying orange candlelight, and writing are eye-catching work.
Roland yawned and spread out the parchment with the information on the fourth witch.
The fourth witch has a rare surname, her full name is Soraya Zon, from a merchant family in the Royal Capital of Greycastle, with short brown curly hair and a pair of slender eyes. The little freckles embellished on the bridge of the nose not only did not destroy the overall beauty, but made her exude a unique youthful vitality.
Soraya has just turned nineteen years old, and her abilities are very special. When she is an adult, she can faithfully draw the characters and scenes she sees or imagines. With the branch ability "Magic Pen", she does not need to use paint when painting. , and without relying on paper, you can draw a photo-like image.
There are countless uses for this camera-like ability. As for training, let her draw a few pictures every day.
He then took out the next piece of paper.
The fifth witch was called Echo. She was a woman from the extreme south. She was tall and had brown skin. Her eyes and bridge of the nose had typical characteristics of sand people, and she was full of interracial amorous feelings. According to her description, after awakening, she can initially simulate the singing of animals, and when she becomes an adult, she can imitate any sound beautifully and beautifully, without the ability to branch.
Roland named her ability "phantom sound", and the use was unexpected for the time being. The practice requirements... just scream twice.
The sixth witch to be questioned was Lily. She was only sixteen years old this year. She wore two ponytails and had a delicate face like a doll. When she saw herself, her expression was a little stiff. The ability is to prevent food from spoiling. It has only been a year since she was awakened as a witch. She is already the most popular character in the mutual aid society. Without the ability to preserve freshness, many foods will spoil and become moldy during the exile. Together with Hummingbird, Lily supported the logistics of the mutual aid society.
As for whether this fresh-keeping ability is achieved by killing bacteria with magic power, it remains to be verified. Roland decided to let her practice with all kinds of meat and fruits, and test the longest fresh-keeping time when the magic power is exhausted.
He rubbed his numb neck, and piled the documents of the six witches into a stack. Only the last piece of parchment was left on the table.
This is also another surprise that Roland discovered after Ye Ye.
The Seventh Witch: Mystery Moon.
At that time, she looked very nervous when she walked into the office. Nightingale comforted her for a while, and even briefly explained the reason in her ear.
It turns out that Mystery Moon's ability is also the worst in the camp, it can be said to be almost useless, and it is also responsible for some chores that are simply done by manpower. In addition, she was often blamed by Hakara, which made her cringe, for fear that Roland would find her useless and drive her out of Border Town.
Her main ability is to magnetize objects. Before she was a teenager, it was limited to metal objects. After she became an adult, any object could gain magnetism in her hands. There is no branching ability, and it needs to touch the target to cast when magnetizing, and the process is extremely slow. According to her, it takes half a day to impart magnetism to a one-foot-square stone.
This is really not very useful to the Mutual Society, magnets are nothing new, and ships sailing between fjords and continents are equipped with navigation needles that point to the function. There are many reference objects on land, and you can quickly find the direction without such things. On the contrary, magnetized objects will also cause trouble for everyone. For example, the iron pot iron after being lightened by the hummingbird will fly to the Mystery Moon if you are not careful, so that Hakkara forbids her to use power in the camp.
But to Roland, this taciturn girl was a priceless gift.
That's why he wants to hum Super-star - is there a more apt lyric than "You're Electric, You're Light"
Magnetism generates electricity, and electricity generates magnetism. This is the knowledge that any engineering dog is familiar with. He thanked Faraday, Gauss, Ampere and Maxwell in his heart. With electricity, there is light, and it may not be long before he can perform another miracle in the territory.
A witch who was forbidden to use her abilities still survived the demon bite. It can be seen that although she is inferior and introverted, her will is not fragile. At least she has a stronger desire to live than most people. Roland was secretly glad that she had joined the Co-Aid Association for less than a year, otherwise, over the years, she would likely be buried alive by Hakara.
With a swipe of his pen, Mystery Month's training for the next few days is to magnetize various items, and to determine the relationship between the consumption of magic power and the magnitude of magnetism.
With these seven witches, Roland's lineup of witches increased to twelve. After looking at so many samples, he also has a general understanding of the manifestation of magic. The traditional classification of combat and non-combat types is unreasonable, and he prefers to divide them according to the characteristics of their abilities. Taken together, the main abilities of witches can basically be divided into three categories.
The first type is self-reinforcing. This type of ability is very rare, and so far only one Scroll belongs to this category. The ability that is equivalent to passive effect is not affected by the Stone of God's Punishment, even if she wears the Stone of God's Punishment, she can still remember it.
The second type is the summoning type. Ana, Nightingale, Nana, Lightning, Wendy, Leaf, Soraya, Echo, and Lily all fall into this category. The special feature is that the magic power can take effect away from itself - although this distance is limited to within five meters. Summoning witches have the most variable abilities and are most affected by the Stone of God's Retaliation. Once they enter the forbidden area, any effects caused by magic will disappear. However, until the ability is not blocked, the result is permanent and irreversible.
The third type is the enchanted type. Examples include Hummingbird and Mystery Moon. The magic power casting method is achieved by touching the target, the transformation process is slow, consumes a lot of magic power, and will be interrupted by the stone of punishment. However, once the transformation is completed, it becomes the inherent attribute of the object, and it is still valid in the forbidden area.
This is probably the reason why the Stone of God's Punishment cannot eliminate the backlash of magic power. He thought that the Stone of God's Punishment does not affect the gathering and flow of magic power, but it affects the process of converting magic power into ability. In layman's terms, it is aimed at the customer front-end, not the back-end data.
Roland put down the quill and rubbed his eyes. No matter what, I'll be busy again in the future.
