Chapter 944: The New Witch Group (Part 1)
After receiving the news that the rescue operation was a complete success, Roland finally felt relieved.
Although there were deviations from the original plan and failed to sweep the dawn with the appearance of a conqueror, the neighboring country eventually overthrew the rule of the Moa family and maintained basic stability. The new Quinn family will be Graycastle's most loyal allies until they gain a firm foothold.
What's more, there is Andrea on the side of Neverwinter, as long as there are no accidents, the ally relationship with Chenxi is enough to last for a generation.
He didn't think that the third Divine Will war would last for a hundred years.
Andrea and the God's Punishment Witch from the expedition are expected to take about a month to return to the Western Region. He intends to take advantage of this time to plan the future development of Graycastle.
After all, with the destruction of Timothy's remnant party, the opposition forces temporarily disappeared, and the kingdom was unified in name. Although it will take some time until the second-level city halls in various places play a role and completely turn Graycastle into an efficient centralized country, he can start preparations now. When that day comes, Graycastle's strength will inevitably achieve an unprecedented leap, and it will widen the gap with the other three countries in terms of level.
The most important thing in the development plan is how to make good use of the abilities of witches.
After all, they are the primary productive forces.
In the half month since Anna came back, a series of changes have taken place in the city - the most obvious is Roland's castle: his mahogany desk has doubled in size, and more than ten hand-cranked phones are placed on it The machines lead to important places such as the office of the Witch Building, the city hall, the barracks, the third border city, and the Changge District. When an emergency occurs, there is no need to rely on the legs of the guards to deliver the message.
In addition, the first public telephone also appeared on the central square, which connected the city and the hidden forest, and extended with the progress of the railway track construction to meet the needs of workers who have been unable to return home for a long time to contact their families.
Of course, this line is charged on time, and the number of callers is limited every day, so you need to apply in advance. If you don't want to spend too much money, you can choose cheaper air courier and rail transport to deliver your letter. Thanks to the popularization of primary education, written communication has become more and more common for the citizens of Neverwinter.
And responsible for the operation of these systems is a newly established department of the city hall: the Department of Communications.
Because its job content covers every link from taking care of the courier to delivering letters to the door, its subordinate organization instantly became a behemoth second only to the Ministry of Construction. The residents of the first session were swept away.
In this department, Roland has faintly seen the outline of a super giant group rising in the later generations.
This is only the strength of Anna alone.
Therefore, after solving the devil's attack, he focused most of his energy on the ability statistics of the Sleeping Island witch.
With the arrival of the second batch of migrants, the number of Maleficent's members has increased to ninety-six. Just testing their abilities made Wendy and Scroll very busy. The step was quite difficult. Fortunately, under the offensive of Tilly's personal prestige and Wendy's gentleness, the registration part was finally passed smoothly.
The black book in front of Roland is the result of the preliminary investigation of the abilities of all the witches.
He has been flipping through it for several days, and has planned the whereabouts of most capable users.
I have to say that the previous classification methods of strengthening, summoning, and enchanting are too general, and it is no longer suitable for intuitive expression - 0---0---small--say---this is a gorgeous dividing line-- Let go of that witch 00 novel Netizens please remind: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes when reading for a long time. 00 novels recommended reading: Princess Leng's Revenge and Love Season-0--0---small--say---this is a gorgeous dividing line---the scope of ability application, so he simply regrouped the witches according to the job category Classification. For example, those who are good at processing are classified as manufacturing abilities; those with close relatives are classified as breeding abilities; In this way, the town hall can clearly see the number of witches available for hire in the production category.
In addition, these nearly a hundred witches also let Roland see how amazing their abilities are.
Obviously they are all awakened, some can only make flowers grow in the cracks of stones, and some can create burly magic servants - no wonder the Federation can't bear a protracted war, once the battle witch dies, they want to find It is not known how many years it will take for someone who can replace her.
Obviously, it is the safest way to place the witch in the factory.
Among the 100-person roster, Roland valued four people more.
They are No. 26 Wu Yun, No. 43 Azima, No. 44 Doris, and No. 89 Thin Wrist.
The ability of the dark cloud is "dyeing", which can dye the objects it touches into any color without changing the original nature of the objects.
Theoretically speaking, this should be regarded as an enchanting ability with a limited duration. The consumption of magic power is greatly affected by the size of the target, and it will not be affected by God's Stone of Retaliation after completion. However, her powerful ability lies in the fact that the effect time of dyeing can be horribly long-probably because changing the color has almost no effect on the substance itself, she only needs a little bit of magic power to last for several years. In other words, if Wu Yun puts all his strength into it, it will be able to maintain its luster for hundreds of years.
But the limitation of the target size still exists, and she can't release the ability instantly like the hummingbird, and at the same time compress the effective time as much as possible, so once she encounters a large object that exceeds her magic power limit, the result of the performance is that the ability is invalid. It is still too difficult for her to change the color of the sea in one go.
In fact, according to Wendy's tests, she can affect objects no more than within the range of her arms, which is about 1.5 meters square.
For Roland, such a large dyeing area is enough.
After all, objects can be divided and combined.
It can be said that Wu Yun's ability made up for a gap in Neverwinter - the development of dye technology. The dyeing method of this era comes from natural extraction, which is definitely a major selling point in advertisements for later generations, but the fact is that the performance of naturally extracted dyes is too bad. There are many impurities, easy to fade, poor oxidation resistance, and the types are so rare that only the nobles can afford colorful clothes, and the effect of the latter is mostly made by inlaying gold and silver.
Dye has a wide range of uses. In addition to the traditional textile industry, education, printing, chemical industry, biology and other aspects cannot do without its support. Moreover, Wu Yun can also relieve Soraya's burden to a certain extent, so he can be regarded as an all-rounder.
However, the following numbers 43 and 44 gave Roland a little headache.
Azima and Doris were just one of the witches that Wendy said were not willing to cooperate. When they first met, they expressed their dissatisfaction with Tilly and wanted to leave Neverwinter as soon as possible. Although this point of disagreement was temporarily eliminated by Scroll, the rift still existed, and it was still unknown whether the two would be willing to accept recruitment and devote themselves to work.
But their abilities are very unique - Azima's ability "Trace to the Origin" is slightly better, and it is not irreplaceable, while Doris' "Demonization" made Roland see the possibility of using magic power on a large scale.
