The letter also mentions that Tilly is trying to translate the text and wants to see if the Mutual Aid has any clues. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Roland decided to write back to inform the other party of the news of the devil and the holy city of Tachira, and sent the photos of the scene restored by Soloya, maybe it could help her translation. This kind of information is not suitable for hiding, and if they can find out about the incident more than 400 years ago, they can be prepared to deal with it earlier, and maybe they can also discover the weaknesses of the church, if they have no scruples, they will not need to bury all the history of the past in the ground.

Apparently there are some things that they desperately want to avoid being known about.

In addition, it is best to send someone to check out the stone towers in the hidden forest. The ruins of Seabreeze County in the east are cordoned off by the church, and the stone islands of the fjord are soaked in the sea all year round, leaving almost nothing but a pile of books in the secret room. The depths of the Hidden Forest are inaccessible and even the church is not easily accessible, so you may be able to find some useful clues.

However, the devil in the lightning report also made him very jealous, this kind of action can't be done without sending a witch, but once there is a loss in sending a witch, it will be difficult for any one Roland to accept. After much consideration, he decided to wait until the army was equipped with a new generation of firearms, and then go directly to the forest with the witch to deal with the possible devils.

Roland forced down the uneasiness in his heart, and said with a reluctant smile, "I understand Tilly's matter, I will write back and explain it to her, and then I should complete the ability test first." ”

After all, it is only right to develop and strengthen his strength as soon as possible in peacetime, and when the inevitable war comes, he can at least have the strength to fight.

......

The test site was chosen outside the walls of the town, and in order to prevent the fugitives from entering the test site by mistake, Roland also mobilized the First Army to isolate the surroundings.

The first to be tested was Lotus.

She is about the same age as the nightingale, has short black curly hair, and her facial features belong to the small jasper type, which looks very attractive. Not tall, only about 1.5 meters, with a thin body, compared to the tall nightingale, it looks like a little girl who has not yet fully developed, giving people a sense of weakness. However, her ability is not weak at all, and within five meters, she can easily change the terrain under her feet.

The description on the letter was far less shocking than when I saw it with my own eyes, during the test, Lian let the ground next to her rise vertically, like a "pillar of earth" reaching to the sky, until it was almost seven or eight meters closer, this towering "pillar of earth" collapsed due to structural instability.

According to her, the looser the ground, the less magic it takes to transform it. But in the same way, if the geology is too poor, the strength of the houses and walls will be very low. If the main component of the ground is gravel, it is difficult to make anything decent - obviously she can only change the topography, not the material of the earth. Of course, this problem can be solved by expanding the range and thickness of growth.

Roland also gave her a demonstration of how to build a house, but the soil in the west was obviously not as compact as that of Sleeping Island, and the mud houses that rose from the ground collapsed several times when they left window holes and door openings, and finally had to increase the thickness of the walls to about half a meter. After completion, the house is as simple as a cave, and can only serve the most basic living functions, which is much worse than the regular layout and compact structure of the brick house.

But then again, no matter how bad a cave is, it's better than a wooden shack with leaky air, at least in winter, a brazier and an earthen kang can keep the house warm. If you can't build enough brick houses before the Demon Moon arrives, you can make do with them first.

The last step is a comprehensive test - the ability of the lotus is a typical summoning class, there is no branching ability, the terrain can be shaped within five meters of itself, and it is easy to be affected by the Divine Punishment Stone when casting, but the land that has been formed will not retreat back.

"What is her magic level?" asked Roland.

"A brown cyclone, very dense in the center, a very good level among witches," the nightingale thought for a moment, "and it's closer to the leaves." ”

"What about the rate of consumption?"

"It's good to raise the dirt floor," she said, looking at a bulging stone wall at the foot of the northern slope, "The mana drops very quickly when the rock is transformed, and I am afraid it will only last for an hour or two." ”

Roland nodded, Leaf's magic was the third highest in the League of Witches, behind Anna and Zoroa, and enough magic was a prerequisite for continuous ability - of course, there were also low-cost abilities like Nightingale and Lightning, which were not difficult to maintain for a whole day.

After recording this information in a notebook, he began to test the second witch.

"Does anyone want to come?"

"I, I, I!" Honey said, raising her hand.

Roland curled the corners of his mouth, "Then let's show your abilities first." ”

The girl, who was called Honey, was also not tall, a few points shorter than Lian, and had just come of age the previous winter, and seemed to be very lively. He has short fluffy brown hair curled up like a twist*, slightly darker skin, and wears chains of animal teeth on his neck, wrists, and ankles.

Her main ability is Beast Language, which can be applied to animals within its area of effect. All kinds of animals that have been tamed by the magic will carry out the instructions she has given, and the range of instructions cannot exceed the animal's ability, and the taming will be lifted after the task is completed, or she will release it on her own initiative.

On top of that, Honey has an interesting sub-ability: Animal Messenger. She can pass taming commands to the target animal via the courier animal - for example, summoning a bird and asking it to find a more powerful animal to serve her life. Maybe it's an old cat, maybe it's a ferocious goshawk, the process is completely uncontrollable, and the final result is full of uncertainty.

However, both the main ability and the branch ability will be affected by the Divine Punishment Stone, especially the Animal Courier, who can directly erase the command by the Divine Punishment Stone, allowing the animal to regain its freedom. In addition, the larger the tamed animal, the more mana is expended, and in her own words, birds can recruit dozens at the same time, but if the target is replaced by cows, only two or three can be controlled.

The third person to be tested was Evelyn, who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and had a standard royal accent that sounded exceptionally friendly.

Tilly sent a list of things that said she could transform a bad ale into something else that was very different in style and taste, as long as she had tasted it—for the witch, Roland's goal was obvious in the first place, and that was to purify the alcohol. Since it can turn ale wine mixed with water into a delicious wine or fruit wine, there must be no problem with baijiu, right?

For this reason, Roland has carefully prepared several bottles of packaged wine, with a concentration of 50% to 95%, which is a little spicy, but it is not a big problem if you only drink one or two sips. The point is to get her to agree that these throat-burning clear liquids are indeed alcohol.

However, the scorching sun is not a good place for wine tasting, and without delicious side dishes, ice cubes and crystal glass wine glasses, it is possible to take out the smelly liquor directly, and others may misunderstand it as poison. He was going to do it again at dinner, so he just asked Evelyn a few questions before jumping straight to the next witch.
