When Roland walks into the office, he is surprised to find that it is not the Nightingale who is staying in the room, but Wendy.

"Is something wrong?" he poured himself a glass of warm water, "where's the nightingale?"

"She's gone to meet her sisters. ”

"Yes," Roland picked up his glass and was about to take a sip when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, "wait, what sister?"

"Sisters of the Mutual Aid Society, they have come to the border town. Wendy replied.

"Didn't they go looking for the Holy Mountain?" he slammed to his feet, "how many people are coming? the one who tried to hurt the nightingale...... It seems to be called the snake demon Hakara, is she here too?"

"No, Your Highness...... They couldn't find the Holy Mountain. In the wasteland, they encountered terrible monsters, and in the end, only seven survived. Wendy repeated the leaf's narrative before bowing down and apologetically, "You were still taking a nap at the time, so please forgive me for arguing and letting Nightingale and Lightning fetch them back." ”

"It's all right," Roland waved his hand, "and you know I don't blame you for this." What are they capable of?"

"I don't know, but I heard from the leaves, none of them are fighting type witches, maybe ......" Wendy hesitated, "It doesn't do much for you." ”

"Non-combat type?" Roland's heart was suddenly full of anticipation, under the constraints of the Divine Punishment Stone and the distance of action, the witches' combat ability was actually very limited, and production was what they were best at. If there is a witch who specializes in plasticity, he can solve the problem of rough processing technology and directly enter the era of mechanical mass production, and if there is a witch who can generate electricity, the night of the border town will be like day. Next, he became king and married a witch. Towards the pinnacle of life. Lead everyone to achieve four modernizations. It's exciting to think about.

"Your Highness, don't you need them......" Perhaps it was too long of silence that worried Wendy, and she asked in a low voice.

"No, how could it be," said Roland, coming back to his senses, word by word, "I will take as much as such a witch comes." ”

Just as the sun was setting, Nightingale returned to the castle with the rest of her Mutual Aid sisters. And Roland prepared a sumptuous dinner in the castle hall as a feast.

The witches were obviously hungry, but the first time they dined in such an environment, everyone seemed very reserved. Most people are still seeing a lord for the first time, let alone a prince who is a prince.

Fortunately, in addition to Roland himself, there were two local witches, Anna and Nanawa, to demonstrate, and the lightning that didn't know what the embarrassment was, everyone finally let go of a little bit, and there was a conversation at the banquet.

While munching on fried bread, Roland looked at the group of women in front of him with very different styles, but they were all beautiful. That's the greatness of magic - even if technology advances to the point where it doesn't require witch intervention. Their appearance is also a never-ending landscape.

The model community built by Karl is not yet complete, and the witches can only live in the castle for the time being. There are four vacant rooms left on the second floor. Roland thought about it and decided to change the single room to a double shared room. After all, those large beds were prepared for visiting nobles, and they could accommodate two people.

At the end of dinner, the prince finally ushered in the long-awaited part of the inquiry.

The witches take turns entering the office in the company of nightingales, and Roland acts like an interviewer, recording each of their characteristics, and for the first time, using the Divine Punishment Stone to test the effectiveness of their abilities, the whole process is like a job fair. When the last witch's inquiry was finished, he let out a breath and stretched. If it weren't for the fear that the nightingale might squat aside and eavesdrop, he would have wanted to hum the Super-star out.

Although there were no witches who specialized in shaping and generating electricity, and the pace of modernization was slowed down, these witches still brought Roland a complete surprise.

First and foremost, this witch named Leaf is the one who is the first and most important.

He spread the parchment of the record one by one on the table and pulled out the record about her.

Before reaching adulthood, the leaf's ability was limited to amplifying the fruit of the plant, but as an adult, this ability was greatly improved, and a branch ability was derived: manipulating plants.

The first ability can be used to improve fruits and seeds, increase yields, and increase the effects of herbs. Her branching ability gives her the possibility to change the traits and characteristics of plants. According to her, injecting magic into plants can make dead branches grow green leaves, command weeds to entangle enemies, and merge yourself with trees.

However, the larger the plant, the more mana it takes to manipulate. Therefore, when fighting, she gives priority to weeds, which take effect quickly and cost less.

The ability is cast by contact, which can be transmitted through a physical medium (such as the ground) and has a range of about five meters.

There is no doubt that this witch with long turquoise hair was a good helper in the development of agriculture, and its importance is self-evident - industrialization requires a large population, and a large number of people depend on enough food to feed them. This food is either produced in-house or imported through trade. If the former does not have efficient production capacity, it will only tie most of the human resources to the land. The latter is even more difficult to achieve in the era of extremely underdeveloped transportation.

Now that a druid has been harvested, Roland hopes to feed a large number of industrialists with a small number of peasants and accelerate the industrialization of his territory.

Therefore, in the direction of future practice, he decided to let the leaves go on the path of improving seeds, whether it is wheat or barley, as long as one can achieve an increase in production, he can greatly increase the upper limit of the population that can be contained in his territory. In addition, I have heard that the fjord produces some unique foods, which are very similar to potatoes and corn, according to lightning. If the rumours are true, plans to introduce these two crops should also be put on the agenda as early as possible. After all, wheat itself is not a high-yielding crop.

After Roland wrote down the exercise plan, he put her materials aside and pulled a second sheet of paper from the table.

The second witch to be questioned was Shujuan, the oldest of the seven, and was nearly forty years old this year.

This is a rare age in the witch community. The older you get, the harder it is to resist the magic backlash. However, seeing her ability, Roland can also understand the reason why the book has survived until now.

Her main ability is a memory far beyond that of ordinary people, and as an adult, her abilities are stabilized and almost unforgettable, and she has acquired a very interesting branching ability: the book can turn the book she has read into a physical body in a short period of time, which Roland has named "The Book of Transformation".

The main ability is in effect almost all the time, so the book can survive every awakening day, which is why she comes from a poor background but is self-taught...... This ability is a great improvement for learning, especially for text learning that requires repeated memorization exercises. Each time she casts her branching ability, she drains all her mana, and the duration of the Book of Illusion depends on the remaining mana, usually between half an hour and an hour.

Obviously, Shujuan is a natural teacher, and if she wants to popularize education in the future, she can completely dominate the whole field. Well...... As for the current situation, Roland thought about it, her ability didn't need to be practiced, so she just put it by her side first. When I have free time, I can write some elementary textbooks on mathematics and physics to teach her. When the time comes, she will be able to shine in the world of education. (To be continued.) )
