Release that Witch Chapter 259: From Sleeping Island’s witch (below)
The fourth position is Silvie.
When facing this witch, Roland always felt a little uncomfortable, not because Nightingale said she lied too much. In modern society, except for relatives and good friends, few people will be outspoken and add After touting and rumors of special effects, he has long been accustomed to it.
He just felt that he had a sense of nowhere to hide in front of her. What's worse, he knew that this was not an illusion, but that the other party's ability was the same. Ignoring the impaired vision, as long as she thinks, the clothes on her body are the same. Roland, while lamenting why he didn't have such ability, involuntarily changed to a sitting position and raised Erlang's leg.
On appearance, she can be regarded as the most chic of these five witchs: a long green hair straight down the shoulders, slender eyebrows, and it looks like bangs. Especially her amber-colored pupils, which were transparent to almost no depth, reflected all the light like a mirror. After looking at it for a long time, Roland always felt that a red mark would suddenly appear inside.
Silvie's ability is very easy to understand. She can see behind all the scenes around her body, and her vision can penetrate obstacles. The depth of penetration depends on her thoughts. In addition, she also has a branch ability similar to Nightingale: you can see the convergence and dissipation of magic power.
This slightly surprised Roland. If the branch ability can be so close, what is the main ability? He asked Silvie this question, and the latter hesitated, saying that among the hundreds of witch Sleeping Island, no one with the same ability was found, Nightingale on the left side verified that this sentence was true.
Probably because there are too few samples, Roland thought.
The witch of the last go on stage is Candlelight.
Like Anna, she ushered in her own coming-of-age day in Months of Demons last year. In under age, her ability can only act on lighting objects such as candle, kerosene, and torches. After adulthood, magic power is stabilized and the effect is greatly enhanced. It can maintain the original characteristics of the contacted objects for a period of time, such as showing ice Afterwards, it will not melt under the sun, and still emits cold air.
This ability seems incredible at first glance, and can achieve many things that conventional methods can not do, but after several rounds of testing, Roland found that it is not so perfect. First, it belongs to the attachment magic capability and requires direct contact with the target. This limitation makes it difficult for Candlelight to cure some high-temperature objects.
So he tried to get a drop of molten steel that could remain in the incandescent state forever, and his plan to continuously supply heat to the blast furnace went bankrupt. Except for Anna, no one dared to touch thousands of degrees with his hands. If it becomes a thin piece of wire, Candlelight can hold the other end for attachment magic, but this raises another problem.
That is, the farther the solidified state of the object is from the normal state, the greater the magic power consumption, and the shorter the continuous effect.
Roland verified this with ice cubes. After the same size ice cubes were solidified, one was placed on the hot ground and the other was put into a water basin. The former only adhered to one hour and then quickly melted. Even the coldness still maintained the original shape.
This means that if you use red hot wire or steel bar, the effect will only be worse.
Finally, volume is also a factor that restricts the ability of Candlelight. Like Hummingbird and Mystery Moon, the larger the volume of the display object, the more it consumes magic power. According to Nightingale's observations, her own magic power is located at the middle and lower levels, like a golden mist, and has not yet formed a strong cyclone.
But even so, this girl who looks somewhat introverted is still the biggest gain of Roland. In the field of industrial production, the state of solidified objects is completely priceless. The key is the word "normal". Affected by various factors such as heating and cooling, friction, and force, the metal will fatigue and the structure will deform. He does not need a drill bit that becomes hot due to friction, nor does it need the gear, which is increasingly worn. If a key part of a machine can be kept normal, it means that it can always maintain maximum efficiency and precision.
In other words, burning can effectively improve the mechanical strength of inferior metals.
...
Back at the castle office, Roland revisited the recorded capabilities, and then began to plan their future work.
"How," Nightingale poked his head out of the mist, "Do you have a favorite among these five witchs?"
"It's all good," Roland said casually.
"What! Do you like it?"
He glanced at each other, the latter stuck out his tongue and walked away with a piece of dried fish.
Obviously, the most useful ones are Lotus and Candlelight.
With the ability to transform the terrain, he can easily build a new earth wall outside the city wall. The original woolen cement wall has been selected. In order to save materials and speed up the construction period, the closest pass between the Northern Slope Mountain foot and the Scarlet Water River was chosen. Although it can be completed before the arrival of Months of Demons, it also limits the scope of small town's westward expansion. As the population continues to grow, it will be sooner or later to develop this wilderness and Hidden Forest.
The new earth wall will extend to the outer edge of Hidden Forest, and a forest will be included at the same time, so that the small town will be nearly double the area. As for the extended defense line, it can be solved by expanding the troop source and artificially guiding the Evil Beast attack direction. In any case, compared to the previous year's wooden spear and a front-loaded firing gun, the fire projection capability of First Army has now changed dramatically. The defensive measures such as the battery and the fort can also be combined with the new city wall. carry out.
In addition, he intends to allow Lotus to open a passage in the south of mountain ridge so that Border Town can reach the shallows. In this way, small town can obtain a natural good port, and trade with the fjord is also more convenient. Considering the huge consumption of magic power to transform the rock formations, this project may take several months.
Candlelight works with Anna and Lucia to produce a new generation of machine tool for the production of firearms and other mechanical equipment. If it goes well, Anna can be freed from tedious processing and production.
Silvie's mission is very clear, mainly to explore Northern Slope Mine and Hidden Forest. According to those miners, there are more than a hundred natural caves in Northern Slope Mine, and no one knows where they eventually lead. Today, there are only twenty or so channels that have been mined and cleared. Several types of ore have been found. Roland is very curious about the credibility of the rumors of the so-called ancient monster's lair. Now that witch has the perspective ability, he wants to explore Northern Slope Mining area completely and draw a detailed map. By the way, let Lotus cooperate to adjust the terrain to improve the mining efficiency.
As for Honey, Roland doesn't have much thought, just to strengthen its information transmission ability in an era without radio. He needs a large number of trained birds to be used as carrier pigeons, and does not require them to be as smart as Macy, as long as he can pass the information to his hands as soon as possible.
