Chapter 53:Fire of the Heart (Part 2)

The day after Anna woke up, the Nightingale resigned to Roland.

“Although it is not clear why, she is probably the first witch to spend the day of awakening safely,” said Nightingale excitedly before her departure.After Roland's time, she also began to use the word awakening to describe the transformation of the witch, "I will bring the sisters of the help, and then I hope you will accept them, just as you accept Anna."

Roland can't ask for this, an Anna has stepped over the hot forging process, so that the town can see the dawn of the industrial era, what does a bunch of witches mean?Of course, considering the security situation, he still made a retention, hoping that the other side would go to the desperate mountains after the end of the demon month.

But the nightingale is obviously impatient, "this winter, there are still many people to face this difficult, if you can tell them the news earlier, perhaps a few people will be able to leave us."Rest assured, the common beast cannot find my whereabouts.”

“When is your day of awakening?”Roland finally asked.

The Nightingale turned over her horse, "in the late winter and early spring," she waved her hand and left the prince with a back, "Don't worry about me, the pain has become lighter and lighter in recent years."

The answer made Roland think.

He had also been thinking about the reason why Anna could spend the day of awakening so smoothly, after all, Anna said afterwards that a little pain had not been felt, which completely subverted the idea of the nightinging that the power of the witch came from the devil, the unclean of evil, and the such sayings that the blood evaporated at the time of death and the shakyness of the skin became the unshakable iron proof of the fallen power.

However, Roland did not think about it from the beginning.

He rummaged through the memories of the four princes and found no proof of the existence of the true God or the devil in this world.Since power is not divine, it should not be regarded as a criterion for discernment of good and evil.In fact, even if the gods frequently interfere in the world, believers choose their own camp before they are given divine power, rather than the other way around.

According to the Nightingale's description, a witch is a gathering body of magic, and will it be because the magic is released that the container itself is damaged?Roland felt that this possibility was very high, and the witch was hostile and suppressed by the majority of people, and would inevitably choose to hide her ability and pretend to be a normal person and live in a war.This leads them to rarely have the opportunity to exercise magic before they reach adulthood.

Roland certainly did not think that his castle was a feng shui treasure, and he asked Anna, and learned that she had experienced unbearable pain before that.What is different this year is that it has been used almost every day since she came to the castle.

The Nightingers' final answer implicitly confirmed his conjecture - the ability to hide, even if it is often used, will not attract attention, and she has been forced to train this ability, and now it is even more reckless to use, so the anti-phage of the awakening day will have a small impact on her.

Roland trained Nanawa immediately after returning to the castle, and if there were no injured people on the line, various small animals must be treated.If this hypothesis can be confirmed by Nanawa, the meaning of the witch can be turned upside down, and the devil's curse will become a gift from heaven.As long as he can make sure his territory is open to witches, the witches will come together inexorably.

After that, everything was back on track.

Roland began to step up the production of the steam engine, but also to familiarize Anna with the new ability process.

There was a shed in the castle’s backyard again, but this time to cover the wind and snow.As an experimental base, he feels that it is safer to build on his own territory.

According to the Nightingale, the ability of the witch to stabilize in adulthood is stable and may produce new branching abilities.He had not yet seen Anna show new abilities, but the use of the flame was completely different from before.

No, it can be called a flame or a problem... Roland thought that if the previous flame was still within the scope of common sense understanding, today's green flame is no longer explained by common sense.

He called it “Fire.”

Because it can exist alone without Anna, and at the same time change the form under the influence of Anna's will.Just like she does now –

A small flame stood on the iron plate two meters away from her, swinging slightly back and forth, as if to greet her.But Roland knew that it was Anna who was manipulating it.In normal times, it can be kept at a temperature similar to the body temperature, only when Anna wants to heat up, it will instantly raise the temperature to a higher point, and the color will change from green to ink green.Similarly, it can also be transformed from a flame into a large cluster flame, and can also move slowly at a slower speed.

Unfortunately, it can not always leave Anna far, after repeated tests, as long as away from more than five meters, the heart will disappear.

Another characteristic of the fire is that Anna can summon the plural flame - only she can now barely operate two at the same time.

The recent border is calm.The evil beast still appears outside the city walls, but there is no mixed species, and it is difficult for the evil beast to break through the defense line.As Roland said, the stronger and faster, is still just a beast.The wall was spread out, but they were led to the middle section, so that the militia teams with only a hundred people could cope with it.

So in addition to the routine touring every day, Roland spends a lot of time on construction.

He had already drawn a plot of land on the south side of the castle, planning to live as a place of residence after the arrival of the witch.As an investor in the project, he appointed Karl as the head of the project, and set up a number of double-layer brick houses here.At the same time, we should consider problems such as beautiful and reasonable layout, convenient access, and fast drainage, and strive to make it a template community.

He also considered whether to disperse the witch to the old and new towns, mixed with the townspeople, and later thought or abandoned the intention.Although this helps to speed up the understanding of witches, the consequences are likely to be irreparable once the misunderstanding is completely resolved.After all, witches now have only a certain influence in the militia.

And Roland could not guarantee that the witches brought by the nightingale were pure and harmless people—most of them had been full of the pain and tribulations of the world, and I am afraid that they could no longer be summed up in a simple way.Witches like Anna and Nanawa are only a few of them.

Therefore, centralized living is also convenient for centralized management, and relevant regulations and rules must be formulated before their arrival.In this regard, Roland has no experience to refer to, after all, he is neither the relevant person in the National Security Agency's Superpowers Office, nor is the founder of the Avenge League, who will know how to manage a group of dissidents!He had to first tentatively a basic system according to the personnel management methods of general enterprises, and then slowly touched the stone across the river.

Roland, of course, knows that this plan is full of loopholes, but as a pioneer, who can do it if he does not?With a tail shrunk in this border town, it may take decades to touch the threshold of industrialization, but he is not a fairy, and how many decades can he or she have?

If we want to lead the times forward and stand at the forefront of reform, we must have an adventurous spirit.

Just as he recorded these ideas on parchment, Barov pushed the door open and walked in.

He shook the snowflakes on his body, and said to the prince, "Your Highness, here comes the messenger of the long-singing fortress."
