Chapter 98: New Witches, New Abilities (Part 2)

The third witch is Hummingbird, a short witch, just like her nickname. ＞一小说≥﹤≤≤﹤﹤When inquiring about abilities, she behaved much more cautiously than other witches. She just came of age this winter, with symmetrical dimples, delicate facial features and soft voice, she looks extraordinarily cute.

Her ability is to "lighten objects". After attaching magic power to an object, its weight can be greatly reduced. According to her, it is close to zero. After Roland let the hummingbird use his own teacup to demonstrate it live, he found that the cup can almost float in the air—that is, its weight is about equal to that of air. Of course, in the eyes of people in this era, air is weightless.

It seems that this is also the reason why the Mutual Aid Society can cross the western border of Graycastle without 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 supplies, which can greatly reduce logistical pressure.

Although hummingbirds are adults, they do not develop the ability to branch. Its main ability must be cast by touching 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 transformation 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 factors, and further experiments must be done to confirm.

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 invalid time precise and controllable.

After dealing with the training plan for the three of them, he asked his attendants to add a candlestick to make the room brighter. But even so, reading and writing were a chore under the flickering orange candlelight.

Roland yawned, and spread out the parchment that contained the information of the fourth witch.

The fourth witch is rare to have a surname. Her full name is Soraya Zorn. She comes from a merchant family in the royal capital of Graycastle. She has short curly brown hair and a pair of slender eyes. The freckles dotted on the bridge of the nose not only did not destroy the overall beauty, but instead gave her a unique youthful vigor.

Soraya has just turned nineteen years old, and her ability is also very special. When she becomes an adult, she can faithfully draw the characters and scenes she saw or imagined. With the branch ability "Magic Pen", she does not need to use paint when painting , 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 pulled out the next sheet of paper.

The fifth witch is Hui Yin, a woman from the extreme south. She is tall and has brown skin. Her eyes and nose are typical of the sand people, and she is full of exotic customs. According to her narration, after awakening, she can initially imitate the calls of animals, but after she becomes an adult, she can imitate any sound beautifully, without branching ability.

Roland named her ability "Phantom Voice". The use has not been thought of for the time being, and the practice requires...just shout twice.

The sixth witch to be questioned was Lily, she was only sixteen years old this year, with two ponytails, her face was as delicate as a doll, and her expression was a little stiff when she saw her. The ability is to prevent food from spoiling. She has only been awakened as a witch for a short year, and she is already the most popular character in the Mutual Aid Society. Together with Hummingbird, Lily supported the logistical support 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 various meat and fruits, and test the longest fresh-keeping time when the magic power is exhausted.

He rubbed his numb neck, and piled up the materials of the six witches, leaving only the last piece of parchment on the table.

This is another surprise that Roland discovered after according to Ye Zi.

Seventh Witch: Mystery Moon.

When she walked into the office, she looked very nervous. Nightingale comforted her for a while, and even explained the reason briefly in her ear.

It turned out that Mystery Moon's ability was also considered to be the worst in the camp. It could almost be said to be useless, and she was responsible for chores that were done purely by manpower. In addition, she was often blamed by Hakara, which made her act timidly, for fear that Roland would dislike her uselessness and drive her out of Border Town.

Her main ability is to magnetize objects. Before she was a child, she was limited to metal objects. After she became an adult, any object could be magnetized in her hands. There is no branching ability, and the magnetization needs to touch the target to cast, and the process is extremely slow. According to her, it takes half a day to magnetize a one-foot-square stone.

This is really not very useful for the mutual aid society. Magnets are nothing new. Ships sailing between the fjords and the mainland are equipped with navigation needles with pointing functions. 6 There are many reference objects on the ground, and you can quickly find the direction without such things. On the contrary, magnetized objects will cause trouble for everyone. For example, the iron pot and ironware after being lightened by the hummingbird will fly to Mystery Moon if you are not careful, so that Hakara forbids her to use power in the camp.

But to Roland, this taciturn girl was simply a priceless gift.

That's why he wants to hum super-star - is there a more appropriate lyrics than "You are electricity, you are light"?

Magnetism generates electricity, and electricity generates magnetism. This is knowledge that any science and engineering dog can memorize. He thanked Faraday, Gauss, Ampere and Maxwell in his heart. With electricity, there is light, and maybe it won't be long before he can show another miracle in the territory.

A witch who was forbidden to use her abilities still survived the demon's phagocytosis. It can be seen that although she is inferior and introverted, her will is not weak. At least her desire to live is stronger than most people. Roland secretly rejoiced that she had joined the Mutual Aid Society for less than a year, otherwise, over the years, she would probably be buried alive by Hakara.

With a swipe of his pen, he set Mystery Moon's training for the next few days to magnetize various items, and determined the relationship between mana consumption and magnetism.

With the addition of these seven witches, Roland's lineup of witches increased to twelve. After looking at so many samples, he also had a general understanding of the manifestation of magic power. The traditional classification of combat type and non-combat type is unreasonable, he prefers to divide according to the characteristics of the ability itself. On the whole, the main abilities of witches can basically be divided into three categories.

The first category is self-reinforcing. This type of ability is very rare, so far only Shujuan belongs to this category. The ability that is equivalent to passive effect is not affected by the God's Stone of Retaliation, even if she wears the God's Stone of Retaliation, she can still have a photographic memory.

The second category is summoning type. Anna, Nightingale, Nana, Lightning, Wendy, Leaf, Soraya, Echo, and Lily all belong to this category. The characteristic is that the magic power can take effect away from itself-although this distance is limited to less than five meters. Summoning witches have the most varied abilities, and are also most affected by God's Stone of Retaliation. Once they enter the magic-forbidden area, any effects produced by magic power will disappear. However, before the ability is stopped, the result is permanent and irreversible.

The third category is the enchanted type. Examples include Hummingbird and Mystery Moon. The method of magic power is achieved by touching the target. The conversion process is slow and consumes a lot of magic power. At the same time, it will be interrupted by God's Stone of Retaliation. However, once the transformation is completed, it becomes an inherent attribute of the object, and it is still valid in the forbidden area. The enchantment is time-sensitive, and the duration is related to the size of the object and its own magic power.

This is probably the reason why the God's Stone of Retaliation cannot eliminate the backlash of magic power. He thought that the God's Stone of Retaliation does not affect the concentration and flow of magic power, but it affects the process of transforming magic power into abilities. In layman's terms, it is aimed at the customer's front end, not the background data.

Roland put down the quill and rubbed his eyes. Anyway, I will be busy again in the future. (To be continued.)
