Chapter 1015 Flying (Part 1)

Magical adulthood always comes at the turn of midnight.

This can be regarded as an unsolved mystery about witches - although magic is everywhere, why is it most active at this time? Even a witch like Anna can recover fully in the first one or two hours after midnight after her magic power is exhausted. If she relies solely on natural recovery during the day, she may not be able to make up for it in a week.

Most witches didn't care about this, even the remnants of Taquila were no exception - when Roland asked them about this, the answer they received was "Isn't this how a new day should be?" In the eyes of most people, time is divided by days, the magic of a day is spent day by day, and there is something new every day, which seems to be nothing unreasonable.

But Roland knew that dates are not a natural concept, but created by people for the convenience of life, so there are terms such as tropical year and precession. In order to correct this error, people had leap months, and as the timekeeping method became more accurate, leap seconds appeared later (that is, the last minute has 59 or 61 seconds). In short, it is whatever is convenient.

Therefore, it seems a little strange that witches always solidify their magic power within a specific period of time.

This is like a biological clock that exists in every awakened person's body and can be synchronized at any time. No matter what year or month she was born, whether she was located in the extreme south or the Hermes Plateau, there was always a connection.

Unfortunately, in the absence of observation tools, it is difficult to study magic or precise timing at this stage. He can only use this phenomenon as an empirical theory.

"Your Majesty," Wendy's words brought him back from his thoughts, "Aside from the above measures, do you have anything else to add?"

The so-called measures are mainly designed to deal with the dangers that may be encountered when the ability is solidified. Since seeing the scene of Lucia's coming of age, this link has been included in the consideration project of the Witch Union.

Not even Taquila could offer much useful advice on this point.

"Do as you say," Roland thought for a moment, "By the way, don't forget to inform Margaery and Xander Bird. I think they also hope to see Lightning grow up safely."

Wendy was a little surprised, "Ms. Margery is fine, but Mr. Bird..."

"He's okay." Roland said softly.

"Yes, I understand." Seeing him like this, Wendy stopped asking any more questions and quickly agreed.

…

After dark, the top floor of the Witch Building is brightly lit.

This place has been transformed into a bedroom specifically for the adult witch - a room composed of two sets of normal bedrooms connected together can accommodate more companions, and one wall has also been turned into a sliding door. Structure, if you need to release magic power, you can just pull open the two door panels. There is no need to blast open the outer wall like last time.

Lightning was lying on the soft big bed, looking particularly excited. His behavior was completely opposite to Lucia's. It seemed that in her eyes, she had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

There was a fixed wooden platform placed next to the big bed, and her left hand was tied to it, holding the divine talisman in her hand. Based on the experience gained from Lucia, whenever you feel a contraction-like pain in your body, just pour all the magic power into the sigil. One hand was tied to prevent the witch from losing control due to too much pain and accidentally pointing the sigil at others. After eliminating this danger, it was not a big problem that Count Speer was not present.

Lightning's surroundings were already surrounded by friends who came to visit.

"What kind of branch abilities will I awaken... It would be great if the problem of weight-bearing can be solved, so that I can bring a lot of food and tools and fly all over the Dawn Realm!" Similar topics almost continued. One night, her eyes flickered as she listed out one possibility after another, just like Roland when he was a child and guessed what kind of birthday gift his family would give him.

Of course, most of those times ended in disappointment.

For example, he longed to get a big Transformers, but what he got in the end was a book with 300 exercises.

"It's also possible that there is nothing," Mystery Moon muttered, "Branch abilities are not so easy to obtain. After counting, there are probably only a few people in Neverwinter who have this talent."

"Uh-huh..." After these words, Roland seemed to hear a faint nasal sound, and the rising ending was full of pride.

"Did you talk like that?" Lily glared at her.

"Actually, what Mystery Moon said is not wrong," Agatha said with a smile. "The Federation has done statistics. It can be said that the number of witches who can awaken their branch abilities when they reach adulthood is only one in a hundred. But compared to being promoted to a high level, this is not a factor. What's the matter - after all, the most important thing about a witch is her main ability with unlimited expansion potential, so you don't have to pay too much attention to it and just focus on solidifying your ability."

"By the way, aren't you doing adult evolution analysis?" Shujuan interjected, "What's the result?"

"That can only be used as a reference. After all, there are not enough examples to verify it," Wendy took out the record book and looked at it. "But the Lightning's score is indeed very high, with 85.9 points."

"Eh? What is that?" Andrea asked curiously.

"An evaluation method," Agatha explained, "is also inspired by Lucia - because the surge of magic power is very obvious when solidifying into adulthood, it is theoretically easier to form cohesion, so we use all high-level witches as The status at the time of promotion was used as a sample, and a preliminary evaluation was made, based on the total amount of magic power, subject scores, ability control, and individual will. Of course, it is still only in the conjecture stage."

"Subject scores... do you mean test scores?"

"Yes, and it's the largest part of the formula."

"I see, it seems that it is impossible for someone to be promoted to transcendence in this life," Andrea glanced at Ashes with pity.

The latter shrugged disapprovingly.

"It's really...crazy," Roland suddenly heard Phyllis sigh.

"What's wrong?" He tilted his head and looked at the other party.

"In the Taquila era, high-level promotion was an extremely sacred matter for every witch. Everyone was extremely eager to gain the favor of the gods, but they never dared to talk about it openly. Because it was too far away. , if anyone declares that he will be promoted, he will definitely be laughed at by others until he can’t hold his head up. But now..." Phyllis murmured midway as if she had come to her senses, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that this is not good. , but the contrast between the two makes me feel..."

"I understand what you mean," Roland chuckled. "It's like a businessman realizing after a good night's sleep that the golden dragon he's accumulated throughout his life is no longer precious. It's always hard for people to adapt."

"At this point, I am indeed not as good as Lady Agatha," Phyllis whispered. "She only came here a year earlier than me, but now she has led a new round of research work on high-level awakenings. She is indeed a joint leader." A genius who knows how to do it.”

"Actually, this is not difficult to understand. If future generations are not stronger than our predecessors, how can we make progress?" He said calmly, "As long as we are still moving forward, scenes like this will continue to recur. Seeing them, we will You will feel that this is hope, right?"

Following his line of sight, Phyllis also moved her gaze to the girl on the bed.

"But the more abilities, the better, right," Lightning said confidently, "I think I will not only be able to condense magic power, but also gain several branch abilities, because the most outstanding explorers will definitely get the richest rewards. Well!"

"Gu——!" Maisie, who was standing next to the bed, also raised her arms as if to support the other party.

"There is no such logic at all!" Miyue shouted.

The room suddenly became a commotion.

Roland looked at the lively scene in front of him, smiled and shook his head, and then walked out of the room.

"Why, don't you go in and take a look?"

After closing the door, he said to a man standing in the corridor and leaning against the wall.

That person is Thunder.
