Chapter 1017 Branch Ability

Just like Lucia's coming of age, Lightning's promotion was gratifying, but it also brought some trouble to Roland.

"Anyone was injured in the community last night?"

The next day, after listening to Barov's report, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Yes, Your Majesty..." came the complaining voice from the other end of the phone, "An unlucky guy was going to go to the toilet, but was frightened by the explosion and broke his leg, and two guys rolled off the bed. After kowtowing, a large group of panicked citizens came to the city hall early in the morning, asking whether Neverwinter City had been attacked by devils or evil beasts. The people below spent a lot of effort to persuade them to leave. Your Majesty , can you tell me before this happens in the future?"

Even through the receiver, he could imagine the other party's plaintive look.

Probably the manager himself was so frightened that he stayed up all night waiting until dawn.

"How is the injured doing now?"

"They have all been sent to the medical hospital. There is no problem in saving their lives. However, the residents are still talking about it. There are still people in the central square guarding the bulletin board and other announcements - this must be caused by the witch's ability again, right? If you had made it in advance If you inform me, I won’t bother you with such trivial matters as the aftermath.”

"I understand, but things related to magic are inherently unpredictable. This does not mean that I don't trust you." Roland reassured, "The announcement said that I am researching new weapons. There will be similar phenomena in the future. , please don’t panic. If you encounter an enemy attack, follow the alarm. By the way, the medical expenses of those injured will be paid by the city hall. "

"As ordered... Your Majesty." Barov said aggrievedly.

Roland shook his head helplessly and then hung up the phone.

For some reason, the old manager has always felt more and more clingy recently. Although the government affairs are handled well, the tone of "Your Majesty, I have dedicated all my light and heat to you, you can't let me down." It gave him some goosebumps.

On the contrary, the conversation with Northland Pearl was much more enjoyable.

Don't know where she is now.

Putting away his distracting thoughts, he looked at Lightning standing in front of the desk with his head drooped, and asked with a half-smile, "You must have heard what I just said, right?"

"Ugh..." the little girl said in frustration, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please punish me to do two sets of exercises."

Roland then moved his gaze to Maisie, who was above her, and the latter turned her gaze away with difficulty, pretending that it had nothing to do with him, "Gu——"

Although the members of the expedition team were close to each other, Maisie resolutely chose to remain silent in front of the mountain of comprehensive exercises.

He finally couldn't help laughing, "Haha... Okay, raise your head, this can't be your fault - after all, I agreed to let you fly, and the responsibility should also be borne by me."

"Really, really?" Lightning raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashing.

"Of course, you don't know that it will cause damage, and the loss is not big, so the exercises and so on are eliminated."

Since the flight path at that time was heading towards the Impasse Mountains, her impact on residential areas was very limited - except for some cracks in the window glass of the castle and the diplomatic building, other buildings were basically intact. By the time it passed above the furnace area, the lightning had already climbed to a certain height, and its impact was further reduced, making it difficult to cause further damage.

"Your Majesty, you are so... wonderful!" She seemed to regain all her vitality in an instant, and Maisie also spread her wings in relief.

Seeing that one person and one bird were about to pounce, Roland quickly raised his hand to stop their movements, "But does high-speed flying really consume so much magic power? You just flew for less than a quarter of an hour yesterday, right?"

When he mentioned this, Lightning suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said, "I was also very surprised. At that time, I wanted to leave some of the magic power for testing, but I tried to speed up a little to see where the limit was. Unexpectedly, the magic power was very high. It was quickly consumed and almost fell from the sky.”

"Can it be faster?" Wendy, who was recording on the side, immediately caught the key point.

"Yes," Lightning said confidently, "As long as the magic power is enough - even the sound of wind in my ears disappeared. I even felt that nothing could stop me from continuing to sprint."

"Where's Maisie? She was squatting on top of you the whole time?"

"Gu!" Before Lightning could answer, Maisie had already spun around in circles, "Too fast, dizzy, Gu in my arms!"

Does this mean that it was uncomfortable to fly too fast, so it was carried into my arms? Roland found that his ability to understand pigeon language had greatly improved, and he could now automatically complete sentences with blank spaces in the middle.

"Just dizzy?" Agatha, another witch in charge of the ability test, asked, "Didn't you feel the change in the airflow?"

"Well..." Lightning thought for a while, "Although I was wearing goggles, the wind seemed to suddenly disappear when I was halfway through the flight."

"What do you think?" Roland looked at the ice witch, "Is there any record of such a branch ability in the Federation?"

Although Lightning accidentally consumed most of its magic power, causing the actual testing of abilities to be temporarily put on hold, the Witches Alliance has established a systematic evaluation process and inherited the experience of the association. Even if the ability is not used, it can pass Inquiring and testing the balance magic stone can also give a rough judgment.

According to Lightning, it only took her about three minutes to cross the desperate mountains and fly into the wilderness. This distance usually took about half an hour. The thunder in the night sky can also confirm this - her evolved abilities make her qualified to chase sounds.

Regarding the concept of sound barrier, Roland didn't waste much time - Agatha's learning ability has always been the best among witches, and after a little explanation, she understood what caused the thunder.

Although there are many creatures in nature that can reach the speed of sound in a short period of time, and humans have also faced the challenge of the speed of sound with their flesh and blood under special circumstances, it does not mean that this process can be easily achieved. There is no doubt that the reason why Lightning is not affected at all must be related to the newly awakened branch ability.

"I think it should be "Magic Synchrony". "Agatha pondered for a moment and said, "This kind of branch ability mostly appears in witches whose main ability will bring danger to themselves, so there are many records left. It usually expands into a cocoon, enveloping the witch while keeping the environment within the cocoon normal. It just takes a lot of magic power to maintain it, and the greater the difference between the internal and external environments, the higher the speed of magic power consumption. In other words..."

"The reason why lightning consumes all its magic power in a short period of time is not because of flying, but because of its branching ability?" Wendy continued.

"That's right," Agatha nodded. "Most of the branch abilities were created to assist the main ability, such as Scroll's magic book and Lucia's color block vision - without them, the effect of the main ability would be It will be greatly reduced and even difficult to use. The same is true for magic synchronization. Compared with getting seriously injured, flying less is already a compromise."
