Chapter 208 "I'm Such an Idiot"
Lily wrapped her wet hair in a towel and went back to her room.
Although the prince has been accused of being too hedonistic before, it has to be said that the bathroom thing is really... wonderful. Enjoy the cold well water under the shower, sweeping away the hot and sticky feeling brought by the scorching sun, and the body seems to be reborn after a busy day.
But after taking a pleasant shower, she felt a little guilty. That day I couldn't hold back for a moment and used my tongue quickly, shouldn't I apologize to His Highness?
"traitor!"
"What?" Lily brushed the strands of hair sticking to her forehead.
"You clearly said that you don't believe in the small ball theory at all, but now you are the first to evolve a new ability." Miyue knelt on the bed, with her upper body upright, pointing at her, "You are a big liar!"
Lily rolled her eyes, "I don't believe it now, everything is made of small balls... how is that possible."
"But Sister Nightingale said that your magic power has condensed."
"It has nothing to do with the ball," she shrugged, climbed onto the bed and pressed Miyue's hand down, "Your Highness said that evolution does not have to accept the theory of the ball, as long as you can deeply understand your own abilities, you can also make a qualitative change in magic power .”
"Really?" Mystery Moon pouted.
"That's what he said anyway."
Mystery Moon was not taken seriously when she was in the Mutual Aid Society, which caused her to lack self-confidence, Lily thought. Different from myself, food preservation is a very important ability for a food-scarce mutual aid society. And she could also understand the other party's feelings, because after coming to Border Town, her own abilities became tasteless and completely useless. She was also worried about whether she would be kicked out of the town, but the result was completely contrary to her worries. Although His Royal Highness did not assign her any additional tasks, his attitude towards her was not much different from other witches.
Maybe this is also the reason why Mystery Moon changed from her reserved self-esteem before, and became more and more daring. Her timidity was mostly because Hakara had never looked at her in the eye, and she was even forbidden to use her ability in the camp.
"Then..." Miyue frowned, "How can I understand my abilities? Your Highness said that the magnetic field is invisible and intangible, and a microscope is useless."
"Don't ask me, I don't understand either," Lily yawned, "In fact, I only know what my abilities look like, the cells, bacteria, fungi His Highness said... I don't understand at all. He also said that he would write a textbook for me," she said helplessly, "please forgive me, I don't even know all the words."
"I also want to become stronger," Mystery Moon rolled on the bed, "I also want to do more things for His Highness!"
Lily sighed, Mingming was older than herself, but she acted younger than herself, really... "Go and ask Sister Anna."
"Ask her?" The rolling stopped immediately.
"That's right, aren't you afraid of wasting His Highness's time, so you should ask Sister Anna for advice." Lily said, "In the whole town, except for Her Highness Roland, she is the only one who knows the most."
"But Anna is also very busy. I heard that she makes all the machines in the town now," Mystery Moon hesitated.
"So you can find free time to ask her, such as after dinner, such as asking her to help heat the bath water, or simply invite her to take a bath together, won't you have a lot of time to ask?" The little girl suggested.
"What you said... seems quite reasonable," her eyes lit up.
"Then go to bed, and I have to get up early tomorrow." Lily untied the towel from her head, wiped it twice, and threw her head on the pillow. "Go and blow out the candles."
"Well, okay." She crawled to the end of the bed and blew out the candle, "Good night."
...
The next day, instead of going to the kitchen or the wheat warehouse to practice her abilities as usual, Lily sat at the table and began to learn how to use a microscope.
This is a new task assigned by His Highness. Before the textbooks arrive, fully understand the types and shapes of various cells and fungi, and record their differences. It doesn't matter if you can't write, as long as you can draw.
Moreover, His Highness said that Anna is still trying to manufacture a microscope with a higher magnification. If she can achieve a magnification effect of 400 times, she will be able to see even smaller microorganisms and bacteria.
The content of future exercises will naturally no longer be fresh-keeping, but try to diversify the uses of the mother body and the clone. Lily found it difficult to understand this point, but fortunately, His Highness proposed several practice directions, such as ordering them to simulate the appearance of a single bacterial cell, or instructing them to destroy or improve cells with consciousness. Of course, these must be based on a full understanding of all kinds of subtle life forms. Although Lily doesn't know if she can do that, she has to try.
What's more, exploring the unknown world itself is a very interesting thing.
At night, Mystery Moon came back with a dejected expression on her face.
"What?" She asked curiously, "Did Sister Anna say anything?"
"She talked a lot," Mizuki threw herself on the bed, "but I couldn't understand a single word. She said that magnetic fields are everywhere, and the compass can point the way because we are in a huge magnetic field. Isn't that true? It shows that my ability is useless at all. Not to mention the principle of the magnetic field, what kind of moving charged ball and magnetic force are interdependent, and the magnetic field can also generate current... Is it true that if you don't understand the theory of small balls, you can't make progress?" She muttered in a low voice Said, "You say, am I too stupid?"
"A little bit." Lily said while holding her forehead.
"traitor!"
...
Wendy is very happy that another sister in the Witch Union has gained a new ability.
Moreover, Lily's evolution made other witches enthusiastic about learning. After the class tonight, some people kept pestering the scrolls to ask questions. Even Maggie sat on the chandelier obediently to listen to the lecture after hearing that learning could improve her own abilities.
Except for one person.
When she returned to the room with "Theoretical Basis of Natural Science" in her hand, Nightingale was lying on the table, concentrating on sorting out something.
Wendy knew that it definitely had nothing to do with studying.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Shared dried fish, do you want to eat it?" Nightingale said vaguely with a piece of dried fish in her mouth, "I just brought it from the kitchen."
"So much?" Wendy looked at the golden-yellow grilled dried fish piled up on the table in surprise, and the rich honey fragrance wafted out of her nostrils.
"Well, seeing that I come here every day, the chef simply roasted all the leftovers. Anyway, this thing can be stored for a long time." She took out a small cloth bag and put a handful of food into it. And there were five or six of the same cloth bags beside the table, each stuffed bulgingly.
Wendy immediately understood that what she was doing was preparing dry food. Whenever the Mutual Aid Association is going to leave the town, it must divide the dry food according to the amount and put it in the cloth bag that it carries. No matter how hungry you are along the way, you can only eat the prescribed amount, so as not to run out of food. Since coming to Border Town, with a stable supply of three meals and frequent afternoon teas, no sisters have ever done this again.
Of course, for Nightingale, it was more appropriate to say that she was preparing snacks rather than dry food.
"Don't you read?"
"Anyway, I don't understand it. Just hearing those theories and theorems makes me dizzy." Nightingale swallowed the dried fish and said with a smile, "And my ability is enough, it doesn't matter if I evolve or not."
I see.
Compared to her before, Nightingale's eyes were shining brightly at this moment, there was no reluctance or hesitation, only incomparable naturalness. It is impossible for a confused person to show such an expression, Wendy thought, she has found her goal.
Once Nightingale understands the path she wants to take, her firm side will be revealed. It was the same when she left the noble family, it was the same when she faced Hakara, and it is the same now.
But Wendy didn't ask, because she believed that one day she would see the answer with her own eyes. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
