The day after Anna woke up, Roland and the others said goodbye to Nightingale.
"While the reason why is still unclear, but Anna is probably the first witch to spend the day waking up painlessly" Nightingale said excitedly before leaving. After Nightingale followed Roland for a long time, she was used to the term 'awakening' when describing the transformation of witches. "When I get back, I'll take my sister with me. At that time I hoped you would accept us, just as you had accepted Anna."
This is what Roland wanted. With just Anna's ability, she was able to revolutionize the forging process, allowing the city to see the beginning of the industrial era, so what could she do with a group of witches? Of course, he also had to consider the security issue, as crossing the mountains during the Demon Moon was extremely dangerous.
But as it turned out, Nightingale was eager to bring her sister back because she said, "During this winter, many of my sisters have had to face this difficult time. If I could get the news to them a little earlier, I might be able to save at least a few of my sisters. Rest assured, usually demonic beasts cannot find my existence. "
Finally, Roland asked, "When do you have to face your resurrection day?"
Nightingale turned around and mounted her horse, "In late winter or early spring." As she left, Nightingale waved back at the prince, "Don't worry about me, in the previous years the devil's bite had gotten lighter for me."
This answer gave Roland something to think about.
He had already thought about how Anna could endure the day of her resurrection. After all, Anna said afterwards that she did not feel any pain. This is completely contrary to the concept of Nightingale - “The power of the Witch comes from the devil, so its power is contaminated by evil.” This could be seen as their blood turned black and flowed out from every pore. Their skin would look burnt, leaving the body in a state of concern, this was unshakable and undeniable proof.
However, right from the start, Roland thought this was wrong.
He rummaged through the memories of the old 4th Prince, but he found no evidence whatsoever that God or Satan existed in this world. Since it is not a divine power, it should not be considered as a standard for distinguishing between good and evil. In fact, even if there are gods who often interfere with the mortal world, it is still believers who choose their own camp. Only then did the gods gain their power, not the other way around.
According to Nightingale's description, a witch would gather a magic collection inside her body. However, when the magic could not be unleashed, would it damage his own ship? Roland argued that the probability of this theory being true was very high. After all, most people who were faced with hostility and pressure would definitely choose to hide their own abilities, pretending to be normal while hoping to leave the battlefield alive. This will lead to the point where before they reach adulthood, they rarely have the chance to use their magic.
Roland obviously did not think that his castle would block the Devil Bite. He asked Anna if she had any unbearable painful experience before this. If things were different during this year, then it was because he came to the castle and could use his magic almost every day.
So, with Nightingale's final answer her guess was confirmed - her stealth abilities were not very visible, so she could even use them frequently. Moreover, he had been forced to train his abilities by others and was forced to use his abilities carelessly. Thus, the backlash from his magic power only had a small impact on him.
When Roland returned to the Castle, he immediately began Nana's enhanced training. If no one was injured while defending the city, he would have to take care of various small animals. If he could confirm his theory with the help of Nana, the significance for the witch community could be described as earth-shaking. The curse of the devil will turn into a gift from the divine. As long as he could ensure that his territory was a safe haven for the witches, countless mages would come to Border Town.
He did not know how, but after the final attack everything returned to its path, without a huge wave.
Roland began to intensify the production of the II steam engine, but also gave Anna enough time to get used to her new abilities.
He built another hut in his backyard, but this time it was sheltered from the snow. It was used as a trial area, as he still felt it was safer to build it in his own backyard.
No, whether it could be called fire or not is still a question ... Roland thought, the former flame is still within reach to be understood with common sense, but now that green flame is incomprehensible with common sense.
He named it "Heart of Fire"
It could have existed far away from Anna but at the same time remained influenced by Anna's will, being able to change her form. Just as he was doing so now - the Heart of Fire lit up on the iron panel two yards away from him, swinging slowly forward and backward, as if it was saluting him. However, Roland knew that Anna was still in control of him. Normally, the Heart of Fire had a temperature that was close to one's body temperature, but when Anna wanted to heat it up, she would instantly raise her temperature to a relatively higher temperature, it changed its color from green like jade to dark green. Similarly, it could also turn into a large cluster of flames from a small flame, or even change the speed of its movement.
Unfortunately, it could not be moved too far away from Anna. After repeated testing, they found that when the fire moved more than five yards from Anna, it would disappear.
Another Heart of Flame new future was that Anna could summon more than one flame - but until now she had barely been able to operate two flames simultaneously.
Even so, the situation on the wall was described as calm. Demonic beasts would still appear one after another outside the walls, but there were no mixed species. Without them, it was almost impossible for the demonic beast to break through. As Roland had said, they became stronger and faster, but they were still ferocious beasts. Due to the large length of the wall, they had to direct the demon beasts to the center of the wall, so that a militia with only two hundred members could hold the wall.
So, in addition to his daily routine of patrolling his territory, Roland had plenty of time to spend on construction.
He had set aside the site south of the castle, and planned to use it as a residence for the witches who came. As an investor in the project, he appointed Karl as the chief worker, building a collection of two-story brick houses. At the same time, a reasonable and beautiful layout is considered, allowing easy entry and exit, and a good drainage system is strived to create a well-planned environment.
He also considered whether witches would be distributed to old areas or just new urban areas, mixing them with ordinary residents, but after thinking about it, he scrapped the plan. Although this would help speed up the acceptance of the witches by normal people, before he could clear all misunderstandings, the consequences seemed to be irreparable. After all, the witches only had a certain influence within the militia.
Moreover, there was also no guarantee that the witches brought by Nightingale were harmless and behaved people - most of them had suffered the pain and suffering of the world, he said, so Roland was afraid that the situation would not be easy to summarize. After all, all witches are impossible like Anna and Nana.
Also, if the witches lived in one area, it would be easier for collective management. Before they came, Roland had to draw up all the relevant rules and regulations. As of now, Roland had no experience he could refer to, however, he did not have the personnel or capacity of the National Security Agency, nor was he the creator of the avenger, either, who knows how to organize a group of people and has the ability to it. it is not! He had no other choice but to suppress the basic system used for personnel management by the company, slowly wading through the river in search of rocks.
Of course, Roland knew that this program had a gap, but as a pioneer, what else could he do? Tracing back his tail and just living in Border Town could take decades to be able to touch the brink of industrialization, but he was not a cultivator, so how could he wait for decades?
Wanting to lead this era forward, to be at the forefront of reform, it is necessary to have a spirit of adventure.
Just as he recorded these thoughts on paper, Barov opened the door and entered.
Shaking the snow on his coat and saluting the Prince, he told him: "Your Majesty, the envoy from Longsong Fortress is coming."
