Chapter 427: Aftermath
As the sky brightens, Roland yawns and walks into the office. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
I thought it would be an easy coming-of-age day, but I didn't expect so many accidents.
When Nightingale notices that Lucia's expression is wrong, the magic in her body has become manic - a sign of a mana phago, which is a bit strange for a witch who practices regularly and empties all of her magic before she becomes an adult.
The solution was proposed by Agatha.
As a former member of the Federation who has witnessed the awakening of countless witches, she quickly thought of a countermeasure.
The Ice Witch asked Speer Passy to summon a magic channel to export the magic of Lucia's body, which was transferred by Anna, who had the largest capacity, and then used the Divine Sense Sigil to absorb this part of the restless magic.
Surprisingly, the exported magic power directly lit up the four divine stones and activated the divine will rune. Anna didn't hesitate for a second, and resolutely released it into the open area.
At that moment, the sky over the town was illuminated by a golden sun, and the blinding light pierced the castle walls, piercing the starless sky, and the thick clouds appeared in the night, and thousands of tassels flowed above people's heads. Although it only lasted for a few breaths, it was a miracle.
The result was a good news - Lucia was unharmed and had evolved new abilities this time as an adult, just like Anna had done a year earlier.
However, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening when the accident happened, and most of the people had not yet slept, and many people must have witnessed this strange scene. When Roland returned to the room, he had to think about how to explain the phenomenon to the public.
"Your Highness, the chief Barov asks to see you," the guard at the door knocked on the door.
"Let him in. ”
The gray-haired Barov walked quickly into the office, and before he could salute, he asked directly, "Your Highness, what happened last night, and why did it suddenly appear daylight at night?"
Sure enough, it was for this light, Roland glanced at the dark circles on the other party's face, and knew that he was the same as himself, and he didn't sleep well. If it weren't for the fact that the castle was closed to outsiders at night, he would have come to the door at that time.
"Don't be in a hurry, sit down and say," the prince pointed to the chair in front of the table, "and let's have a cup of black tea first." ”
Slowly pouring the other party a cup of hot tea, he roughly explained Lucia's coming-of-age, "It's just an accident, you don't need to worry too much." ”
"So...... Is this caused by a witch?" the town hall steward's brow furrowed.
"Don't think about the devil," Roland quickly guessed what the other man was thinking, "and no one was hurt except for the missing half of the walls of this dilapidated castle. ”
"But the townsfolk think about it this way," Barov shook his head, "and most of them accept Miss Nanawa's harmless healing powers, not the terrifying abilities that can destroy the castle and cause changes in the heavens. ”
"So I came up with a solution," Roland said slowly, taking a sip of tea, "You will arrange for your men to spread the word later: the golden light that appeared last night was because His Royal Highness caught the thunder in the sky, and its purpose was naturally to bring light to his people. ”
"What?" Barov was stunned.
"I will soon set up a power supply device in the border town, and its essence is the same as that of thunder and lightning in the sky," the prince explained briefly, knowing that he could not understand the other party even if he spoke deeply, "this equipment can make the town brightly lit at night, just in line with the news." ”
"Is that so?" said the Steward, surprised, "that you can really make lightning?"
"It's everywhere in itself," Roland shrugged, "but you have to keep in mind that it's just a rumor, so it's a rumor, you see?"
In order to avoid affecting one's own popular education in the future, such remarks must not be too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, as long as they can temporarily give the people an ambiguous explanation and direct the source of the discussion to themselves.
Not long after Barov's departure, the Minister of Construction, Karl Van Burt, also arrived at the castle.
"Your Highness, be a late ......"
"I know what you want to ask," Roland said, "sit down first." ”
He sighed in his heart, I'm afraid I'll have to explain this all day today.
Fortunately, Karl was not as deep as Barov thought, and after listening to it, he just sighed, "It turns out that Anna is already so powerful." ”
"It was a very decisive disposition at the time," Roland agreed, "and if it had been a few breaths too late, I am afraid that it would not have been the walls that would have disappeared, but the entire bedroom." ”
"The gap in the wall......"
"Just fill it with bricks and stones, you can arrange the specific plan, and finish it before dusk today, and I will let lightning and hummingbirds assist you." The prince said. Once you've repaired the walls and then asked Zoroa to paint a realistic coating, you should be able to restore the castle's appearance to its original appearance.
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
As he expected, the chief knight Carter Lannis, the commander of the First Army, the Iron Axe, and the alchemist Kemo Stower took turns to inquire about the events of last night, and each of them had different directions.
Carter was most concerned about whether he was injured or not.
Iron Axe cares most about whether the light comes from the devil's attack.
And what Kemo cares about most is ...... Which is more powerful, the Divine Signet or the Nitric Acid* Glycerin.
It wasn't until his mouth was dry that Roland sent the men away. He leaned back in his chair and was about to take a nap when there was another knock on the door.
The last one to show up was Tilly Wimbleton.
"Don't worry, yesterday's scene was ......"
"I already know," Tilly interrupted, "I asked Miss Anna before I came here, and she told me what had happened. ”
"Uh...... I see," Roland cleared his throat and sat up straight, "is there anything else?"
"I'm just a little concerned about why this accident happened. Tilly said slowly, "According to Lady Agatha, whether you are awake or an adult, as long as you maintain a certain amount of training, it is difficult to develop phagophage symptoms. This is basically the same conclusion that we have come to the conclusion based on experience, and the witches of the Sleeping Isle have never been in a similar situation, so why did Lucia fall into a magical backlash instead?" she said with a slight pause, smiling and shaking her head, "As for the high-level awakening, I'm not surprised...... Since I came to the border town, I feel like I can see a few of them every day. ”
A few a day is too much of an exaggeration...... Roland poured her a cup of tea, pondered for a moment before speaking, "I have a preliminary guess about Lucia's fate. He pulled out a report card from a drawer and handed it to Tilly, "Maybe that's why." ”
