Chapter 208: "I'm Such a Fool"
Lily wrapped her wet hair in a towel and returned to her room.
Although he had accused the prince of pursuing pleasure too much, I have to say that the bathroom is really ...... Awesome. Enjoying the cool well water under the shower swept away the stuffiness and stickiness caused by the scorching sun, and the body seemed to be rejuvenated after a busy day.
But after a good shower, she felt a little weak. That day, I didn't hold back for a while, so I was quick to speak, should I apologize to His Highness?
"Traitor!"
"What?" Lily ruffled her hair from her forehead.
"You obviously said that you didn't believe in the ball theory at all, but now you are the first to evolve new abilities," Mizuki knelt on the bed, her upper body erect, and stretched out her hand to point at her, "You're a big liar!"
Lily rolled her eyes, "I don't believe it now, everything is made of balls...... How could that be. ”
"But Sister Nightingale said that your magic has been condensed. ”
"It has nothing to do with the ball," she shrugged, climbed onto the bed and pressed Myyue's hand, "Your Highness said that evolution doesn't have to accept the ball theory, as long as you can deeply understand your own abilities, you can also make a qualitative change in your magic. ”
"Really?" said Myzuki, pouting.
That's what he said, anyway. ”
Mytsuki was not taken seriously when she was at the Mutual Aid Society, which led to her lack of self-confidence, Lily thought. Unlike themselves, food preservation is a very important ability for mutual aid associations that are in short supply. And she can also understand the other party's feelings, because after coming to the border town, her ability has become chicken ribs, and it is completely useless. She had also feared that she would be kicked out of town, but contrary to her fears, His Royal Highness had not given her any additional tasks, and his attitude towards her was not much different from that of other witches.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Mitsuki has become more and more emboldened because she has never looked at her directly, and even forbids her to use her abilities in the camp.
"Then ......," Miyue frowned, "How can I understand my abilities?" Your Highness said that magnetic fields can't be seen or touched, and microscopes are useless. ”
"Don't ask me, I don't understand," Lily yawned, "in fact I only know what my abilities look like, the cells, bacteria, and fungi that Your Highness is talking about...... I don't understand at all. He also said he would write me a textbook," she said helplessly, "spare me, I can't even read a word." ”
"I want to be better too," Mizuki rolled on the bed, "I want to do more for Your Highness too!"
Lily sighed, next year she will be older than herself, but she will act younger than herself, she is really ......, "You go and ask Sister Anna." ”
"Ask her?" The tumbling suddenly stopped.
"That's right, aren't you afraid of delaying Your Highness's time, then ask Sister Anna for advice. Lily said, "She is the only one in the whole town who knows the most except Her Highness Roland." ”
"But Anna is also very busy, and I heard that all the machines in the town are made by her," Mizuki hesitated.
"So you can find a free time to ask her, such as after dinner, for example, to ask her to help heat up the bathwater, or simply invite her to take a bath with you, won't you have a lot of time to ask?" the little girl advised.
"What do you mean...... It seems to make sense," her eyes lit up.
"Then go to bed, you have to wake up early tomorrow. Lily untied the towel from her head, wiped two handfuls at the end, and poured her head on the pillow. "You go blow out the candles. ”
"Well, okay. She crawled to the end of the bed and blew out the candles, "Good night." ”
......
The next day, instead of going to the kitchen or wheat warehouse to practice her skills, as usual, Lily sat down at her desk and began to learn how to use the microscope.
This is the new task assigned by His Highness - to fully understand the types and shapes of various cells and fungi and to record their differences before the arrival of the textbook. It doesn't matter if you can't write, just use the drawing.
Moreover, according to His Royal Highness, Anna is also experimenting with a microscope with higher magnification, and if she can achieve a magnification effect of 400 times, she will be able to see even finer microorganisms - bacteria.
In the future, the content of the exercises will no longer be about keeping them fresh, but about trying to diversify the uses of the parent body and the replicator. Lily found this a little difficult to understand, but fortunately, Her Highness suggested several directions for practice, such as ordering them to simulate the appearance of a single fungus, or using consciousness to instruct them to destroy or modify cells. Of course, this must be based on a full understanding of all kinds of subtle living forms, and although Lily doesn't know if she can do it, she has to try.
What's more, exploring the unknown is a lot of fun in itself.
In the evening, Mitsuki returns with a depressed face.
"What?" she asked curiously, "Did Sister Anna say anything?"
"She said a lot," Myyue threw herself on the bed, "but I couldn't understand a word." She said that magnetic fields are everywhere, and that the reason why the compass can point us is because we are in a huge magnetic field, does that mean that my abilities are of no use at all? Not to mention the principle of the magnetic field, what moving charged balls are interdependent on magnetic force, and the magnetic field can also produce electric current...... Can't you really make progress without understanding the ball theory?" she muttered in a low voice, "Am I too stupid, you say?"
"Sort of. Lily said.
"Traitor!"
......
Another sister in the League of Witches has gained new abilities, much to Wendy's delight.
And Lily's evolution has made other witches enthusiastic about learning, and after tonight's class, there are still people who keep pestering the scroll to ask questions, and even Maisie squatted on the chandelier to listen to the lecture after hearing that learning can increase her ability.
Except for one person.
When she returned to her room with "Foundations of Natural Science" in her hand, the nightingale was lying on her desk, concentrating on sorting out something.
Wendy knew that it had nothing to do with studying.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Do you want to eat the dried fish?" the nightingale said indistinctly, holding a piece of dried fish, "just got it from the kitchen." ”
"So many?" said Wendy in surprise as she looked at the golden brown grilled dried fish piled up on the table, the rich honey smell coming to her nose.
"Well, when the chef saw that I came every day, he simply roasted all the rest, because this thing could last for a long time anyway. She took out a small cloth bag and filled it with a handful of food. And there were five or six identical cloth bags on the table, each stuffed bulging.
Wendy suddenly understood what she was doing - it was preparing dry food. Whenever the Mutual Aid Society was ready to leave town, it had to divide the rations and pack them into the cloth bags they carried with them. No matter how hungry you are along the way, you can only eat the prescribed amount so that you don't run out of food. Since coming to Frontier Town, with a stable supply of three meals and frequent afternoon teas, no sisters have ever done this.
Of course, it is more appropriate for the nightingale to prepare snacks than dry food.
"Don't you read?"
"Anyway, I can't understand it, just hearing those theories and theorems makes my head dizzy," Nightingale swallowed the dried fish and said with a smile, "And my ability is enough, it doesn't matter if I don't evolve or not." ”
I see.
Compared to her before, the nightingale's eyes were shining at this moment, there was no reluctance and hesitation, only incomparable nature. It's impossible for a confused person to look like that, Wendy thought, she'd found her purpose.
Once she understood the path she was going to take, her steadfastness would be revealed, as it had been when she had left her aristocratic family, when she had faced Hakara, and now it was the same.
But Wendy didn't ask, because she believed that she would see the answer with her own eyes one day. (To be continued.) )
