The fourth place is Sylvie.
When facing this witch, Roland always felt a little uncomfortable. It was not because Nightingale told her that she had too many lies. In modern society, except for her relatives and good friends, few people would speak out in a blunt way. He had long been accustomed to the flattery and rumors that had been added with special effects.
He just felt that he had nowhere to hide in front of her, and what was worse was that he knew it was not an illusion, but that the other party's ability was already like this.
The vision of ignoring the obstacles, as long as she thinks, the clothes on her body are equal to nothing.
While sighing inwardly, Roland couldn't help but change his seat and crossed his legs.
In terms of appearance, she can be regarded as the most unique among the five witches: her long green hair is straight to her shoulders, her eyebrows are slender, and she looks like a shadow under her bangs.
Especially her amber pupils were so transparent that they had almost no depth, and they reflected all the light out like a mirror.
After watching it for a long time, Roland always felt that a red mark would suddenly appear inside.
Sylvie's ability is very easy to understand. Behind her can see all the scenes in her body, and her vision can penetrate obstacles. The depth of her penetration depends on her thoughts.
In addition, she also has a branching ability similar to the Nightingale: she can see the gathering and dissipation of magic.
This surprised Roland slightly. If the branch abilities can be so close, what about the main abilities?
He asked Sylvie this question, and the latter hesitated and said that among the hundreds of witches on the Sleeping Island, no one with the same abilities had been found. The Nightingale's slight pinch on the left verified that the sentence was the truth.
Maybe it's because the samples are too small, Roland thought.
The last witch to appear was Candlelight.
Like Anna, she ushered in her adult day in the last year's Demon Moon.
When she was a minor, her ability could only act on lighting objects such as candles, lamp oil, torches, etc. After adulthood, her magic power was stabilized and her effect was greatly enhanced. The objects she contacted could maintain their original characteristics for a period of time. For example, after applying ice, it would not melt in the sun, and still emit a burst of cold air.
This ability seems incredible at first glance, and can achieve things that are impossible with conventional means, but after several rounds of testing, Roland found that it was not as perfect as imagined.
First of all, it is a type of enchanting ability and requires direct contact with the target. This limitation makes it difficult for the candle to solidify some high-temperature objects.
So his plan to get a drop of steel that will remain in an incandescent state forever, which can continuously provide heat for the blast furnace went bankrupt. Except for Anna, no one dared to touch a thousand-degree thing with his hands.
If it becomes a piece of thin iron wire, the candlelight can hold the other end and enchant it, but this raises another problem.
That is, the further away the solidification state of the object is from normal, the greater the magic power is consumed, and the shorter the sustained effect is.
Roland used ice cubes to verify this point. After the ice cubes of the same size were solidified, one was placed on the hot ground and the other was put into the water basin. The former only lasted for half an hour and melted quickly, while the latter reduced the water temperature to cold and still maintained its original shape.
This means that if it is replaced with red hot wire or steel bars, the effect will only be worse.
Finally, volume is also a factor that restricts the performance of candlelight abilities. Like Hummingbird and Mysterious Moon, the larger the size of the object, the more magic power it consumes.
According to Nightingale's observation, her own magic power is at the lower and lower level, like a golden mist that has not yet formed a rich cyclone.
But even so, this girl who looks a little introverted is still Roland's biggest gain. In the field of industrial production, the solidified object state can be regarded as a priceless treasure. The key lies in the term "normality".
Affected by heating, cooling, friction, and stress, the metal will become fatigued and the structure will deform.
It does not need drill bits that become hot due to friction, nor does it require increasingly severely worn gears. If a machine's key parts can always be kept in normal conditions, it means it can always operate with maximum efficiency and accuracy.
In other words, burning fire can effectively improve the mechanical strength of inferior metals.
……
Back at the castle office, Roland re-browsed his recorded abilities and then began to plan their future work.
How about it, the Nightingale poked her head out of the fog. Is there anyone among these five witches who particularly liked?
All are pretty good, Roland responded casually.
What!Do you like it all?
He glared at the other party, who stuck out his tongue and walked away with a piece of dried fish in his mouth.
Obviously, at present, the most useful ones are lotus and candlelight.
With the ability to transform the terrain, he could easily build a new earth wall outside the city wall. The original wool stone cement wall was chosen to save materials and speed up the construction period. Although this could be completed before the arrival of the Demon Moon, it also restricted the expansion of the town to the west.
As the population continues to grow, it will be a matter of time before this wilderness and hide-and-cover forest is developed.
The new earth wall will extend to the outer edge of the hidden forest, while enclosing a forest, so that the town will be nearly twice the area.
As for the extended defense line, it can be solved by expanding the source of troops and artificially guiding the attack direction of evil beasts.
In any case, compared with the wooden spear and flintlock rifle in the previous year, the firepower projection capability of the First Army has undergone earth-shaking changes, and defense measures such as turrets and battalions can also be completed with the new city wall.
In addition, he also planned to let Lian open a passage in the southern mountains so that the border town could directly reach the shallows.
In this way, the town can obtain a natural harbor and trade with the fjords is more convenient.
Given the huge amount of magic consumed by renovating the rock formation, the project may take several months.
The work of Candlelight is to cooperate with Anna and Lucia to create a new generation of machine tools for the production of firearms and other mechanical equipment.
If it goes well, Anna can also be freed from boring processing and production.
Sylvie's mission is very clear, mainly to explore the mine caves on the north slope and hide-and-hide forests.
According to those miners, there are more than a hundred natural caves in the North Slope mine, and no one knows where they will eventually lead.
Now there are only about twenty channels mined and cleared, and several ores have been found. Roland is very curious about how credible the rumors of the so-called ancient monster nest are.
Now with the witch with perspective ability, he wants to explore the North Slope mining area completely, draw a detailed map, and let Lian cooperate with the terrain to improve the mining efficiency.
As for honey, Roland didn't have much thought, just to strengthen his information transmission capabilities in an era without radio.
He needed a large number of well-trained birds to serve as carrier pigeons, and did not require them to be as smart as Maisie, as long as they could pass the information to their hands as soon as possible.
