Chapter 427 Aftermath

As the sky turned brighter, Roland yawned and walked into the office.

I originally thought it would be a relaxing coming-of-age day, but I didn't expect that there would be so many surprises.

When Nightingale noticed something was wrong with Lucia's expression, the magic power in her body had become manic and restless. This was a sign of magic phagocytosis. For a witch who practiced regularly and had emptied all her magic power before adulthood, it was really unbelievable.

The solution was proposed by Agatha.

As a former member of the Federation who had witnessed the awakening of countless witches, she quickly thought of countermeasures.

The ice witch asked Speer Passi to summon a magic channel to draw out the magic power that was back in Lucia's body. Anna, who had the largest capacity, was responsible for transferring it, and then used the divine sigil to absorb this part of the restless magic power.

Surprisingly, the exported magic power directly lit up the four sacred stones and activated the divine sigil. Anna didn't hesitate for a second and decisively released it into the open area.

At that moment, the sky above the town was illuminated by a golden sun. The dazzling light penetrated the castle wall and penetrated into the starless sky. Thick clouds appeared in the night, and thousands of tassels hung above people's heads. It flows in the middle and is so beautiful. Although it only lasted a few breaths, the scene at that time was nothing short of miraculous.

As a result, Lucia was happy to be safe in the end, and she also evolved new abilities when she became an adult, just like Anna a year ago.

But it was not without trouble. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when the accident occurred, and most people were still asleep. Many people must have witnessed this spectacle. After Roland returned to the room, he still had to think about how to explain this phenomenon to the public.

"Your Highness, Steward Barov wants to see you," the guard at the door knocked on the door.

"Let him in."

The white-haired Barov walked into the office quickly and asked directly before saluting, "Your Highness, what happened last night? Why did day suddenly appear at night?"

Sure enough, he came for this light. Roland glanced at the dark circles on the other person's face and knew that he, like himself, didn't sleep well either. If it weren't for the fact that the castle strictly prohibited outsiders from entering and exiting after dark, he might have come to the door at that time.

"Don't worry, sit down and say," the prince pointed to the chair in front of the table, "let's have a cup of black tea first."

After slowly pouring the other party a cup of hot tea, he briefly explained Lucia's coming of age, "It was just an accident. You don't need to worry too much."

"So... this was caused by a witch?" The manager of the city hall frowned.

"Don't think too much about the devil," Roland quickly guessed what the other party was thinking. "Except for the half-wall missing from this dilapidated castle, no one was injured."

"But the townspeople will think this way," Barov shook his head. "Most of them accept Miss Nana's harmless healing ability, rather than the terrifying ability that can destroy the castle and cause changes in the sky. .”

"So I thought of a solution," Roland took a sip of tea and said slowly, "You will arrange for your subordinates to spread the news later: the golden light that appeared last night was because His Highness captured the thunder in the sky. The purpose is naturally to bring light to his people."

"What?" Barov was stunned.

"I will soon set up power supply equipment in Border Town. Its essence is the same as thunder and lightning in the sky," the prince explained briefly. He knew that the other party would not be able to understand what he said. "This set of equipment can The town is also brightly lit at night, which coincides with the news."

"Is that so?" The manager asked in surprise, "Can you really create thunder and lightning?"

"It is everywhere," Roland shrugged. "But you have to remember that it is just a rumor, so it must be spread as a rumor. Do you understand?"

In order to avoid affecting the popular education in the future, similar remarks must not be too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As long as it can temporarily give the public an ambiguous explanation, it will be enough to direct the source of the discussion to yourself.

Not long after Barov left, Construction Minister Carl Van Burt also came to the castle.

"Your Highness, it's too late..."

"I know what you want to ask," Roland said, holding his forehead, "Sit down first and then talk."

He sighed inwardly, I'm afraid he would have to explain this all day long.

Fortunately, Karl was not as deep as Barov thought. After hearing this, he just sighed, "It turns out that Anna is already so powerful."

"It was indeed a very decisive decision at the time," Roland agreed. "If it had been a few breaths later, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been the wall that had disappeared, but the entire bedroom."

"The gap in the wall..."

"Just fill it with bricks and stones. You can arrange the specific plan. It will be completed before dusk today. I will let Lightning and Hummingbird assist you." The prince said. After repairing the wall, Soraya can apply a simulated coating to restore the appearance of the castle to its original appearance.

"As you command, Your Highness."

As he expected, Chief Knight Carter Lannis, First Army Commander Iron Ax, and Alchemist Keimo Stryer took turns coming over to ask about last night's events, and each of them was interested in different directions.

Carter was most concerned about whether he was injured.

Iron Ax is most concerned about whether the light comes from the devil's attack.

What Kaimo cares about most is... which one is more powerful, the Divine Will Seal or Nitroglycerin.

Roland didn't send these people away until his mouth was dry. He leaned back on the chair and was about to take a nap when there was another knock on the door.

The last one to come was Tilly Wimbledon.

"Don't worry, the scene yesterday was..."

"I already know," Tilly interrupted, "Before coming here, I asked Miss Anna and she told me what happened."

"Uh...I see," Roland cleared his throat and sat up straight, "Is there anything else?"

"I'm just a little concerned about why such an accident happened." Tilly said slowly, "According to Ms. Agatha, no matter whether you are awakened or an adult, as long as you ensure a certain amount of training, it will be difficult to develop a body phagocytosis. Symptoms. This is basically consistent with our conclusions based on experience. The witches of Sleeping Island have never had a similar situation. Why did Lucia fall into the backlash of magic?" She paused here and shook her head with a smile. "As for high-level awakenings, I'm not surprised... Ever since I came to Border Town, I feel like I see a few of them every day."

A few a day is too exaggerated... Roland poured her a cup of tea and thought for a moment before saying, "I have a preliminary guess about Lucia's accident." He took out a report card from the drawer and handed it to her. Coming to Tilly, "Maybe that's the reason.".
