The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 53: Heart of Fire (Part 2)

The day after Anna woke up, Roland and the others said goodbye to Nightingale.

"Although the reason is still unclear, but Anna is probably the first witch to spend her resurrection day painlessly," Nightingale said excitedly before leaving.

After Nightingale followed Roland for a long time, she was used to the term 'awakening' when describing the transformation of witches.

“When I return, I will bring my sister. At that time I hope you will receive us, just as you have received Anna.”

It's exactly what Roland wanted. Only with Anna's abilities was she able to revolutionize the forging process, allowing the city to see the dawn of the industrial era, so what could she do with a group of magicians?

Of course, he also had to consider the security issue, as crossing the mountains during the Demon Moon was extremely dangerous.

But as it turned out, Nightingale was quite excited to bring her sister back as she said,

“During this winter, many of my sisters have had to face this difficult time. If I could give them the news a little earlier, then,

I might be able to save at least a few of my sisters.

Rest assured, usually demonic beasts cannot find my whereabouts. “

Finally, Roland asked, "When do you have to face your resurrection day?"

Nightingale turned around and mounted her horse, "In late winter or early spring."

As he left, Nightingale waved back at the prince,

"Don't worry about me, in previous years the devil's bite was getting lighter for me."

This answer gave Roland something to think about. He had already thought about how Anna could endure the day of her resurrection.

After all, Anna said afterwards that she did not feel any pain. This completely contradicts the concept of Nightingale –

“magic power comes from demons, so its power is contaminated by evil.”

This could be seen as their blood turned black and flowed out from every pore. Their skin would look burnt, leaving the body in a miserable condition.

This is unshakable and undeniable proof. However, right from the start, Roland thought this was wrong.

He rummaged through the memories of the old 4th Prince, but he found no evidence that God or Satan existed in this world.

Since it was not a holy power, it should not be considered as a standard to distinguish between good and evil.

In fact, even if there were gods who would often interfere with the mortal world, it remained believers who chose their own camp. Only then would the gods gain their power, not the other way around.

According to Nightingale's description, a witch would gather a magic collection inside her body.

However, when magic cannot be unleashed, will it damage its own Vessel?

Roland thought that the possibility of this theory being true was extremely high. After all, most people who were faced with hostility and pressure would definitely choose to hide their own abilities, instead,

pretending to be normal while hoping to leave the battlefield alive.

This will lead to the point where before they reach adulthood they rarely have a chance to use their magic.

Roland certainly did not think that his castle would block the Devil Bite. He asked Anna if she had any unbearable painful experience before this.

If things were different during this year, then it was because he came to the castle and could use his magic almost every day.

So, with Nightingale's final answer, her guess confirmed – her stealth ability is not very visible, though,

so he could even use it often. Moreover, he had been forced to train his abilities by others and was forced to use his abilities carelessly.

So, the backlash from his magic power had only a minor impact on him. When Roland returned to the Castle, he immediately began Nana's enhanced training.

If no one was injured while defending the city, he would have to take care of various small animals.

If he can confirm his theory with the help of Nana, the significance of the witch community can be described as an earthquake.

The curse of the devil will turn into a gift from the divine. As long as he could make sure that his territory was a safe haven for the witches, countless endless mages would come to Border Town.

He did not know how, but after the final attack everything returned to its path, without a huge wave.

Roland began to intensify the production of his II steam engine, but also gave Anna enough time to get used to her new abilities.

Nightingale had previously said that witches, when reaching adulthood, would stabilize their magic power and possibly produce new branch abilities.

However, until now she had never seen Anna show any new abilities, but her fire control had become quite different from before.

No, whether it could be called a flame was still a question .. thought Roland, the flame earlier was still within reach to be understood with common sense, though, but now the green flame was incomprehensible with common sense.

He named it

"Heart of Fire"

It could exist far from Anna but at the same time remain influenced by Anna's will, able to change its shape.

Just like he does now

The Heart of Fire lit up on top of the iron panel two meters away from him, swinging lightly forward and backward, as if it was saluting him.

However, Roland knew that Anna was still in control of him. Normally, the Heart of Fire had a temperature that was close to that of a person's body temperature,

but when Anna wanted to heat it up, she would instantly raise her temperature to a relatively higher temperature,

it changed its color from green like jade to a darker green.

Similarly, it could also turn into a large cluster of flames from a small flame, or even change the speed of its movement.

Unfortunately, it could not be moved too far away from Anna. After repeated testing, they found that when the flame moved more than five meters away from Anna, it would disappear.

Another new future of the Heart of Flame is that Anna can summon more than one flame – but until now she has barely been able to operate two flames simultaneously.

Even so, the situation on the wall was described as calm. Demonic beasts would still appear one after another outside the walls, but there were no mixed species.

Without them, it would be almost impossible for a demonic beast to break through. As Roland had said, they became stronger and faster, but they were still just ferocious beasts.

Due to the extremely long wall, they had to direct the demon beasts to the center of the wall, so that a militia with only two hundred members could hold the wall.

So in addition to his daily routine of patrolling his territory, Roland had plenty of time to spend on construction.

He had set aside a site south of the castle, and planned to use it as a residence for the witches who came.

As an investor in the project, he appointed Karl as the chief worker, building a number of two-story brick houses.

At the same time, a reasonable and beautiful layout is considered, allowing easy entry and exit, and a good drainage system strives to create a well-planned environment.

He also considered whether the witches would be distributed to the old area or just the new urban area, mixing it with the ordinary residents, but after thinking about it, he canceled his plan.

Although this would help speed up the acceptance of the witches by normal people, before he could clear all misunderstandings, the consequences were likely irreparable.

After all, the witches only had a certain influence within the militia. In addition, there is also no guarantee that the witches brought by Nightingale are harmless and well-behaved people –

most of them had suffered the pain and suffering of the world, so Roland was afraid that the situation would not be that easy to summarize.

After all, all witches can't be like Anna and Nana. Also, when the witches lived in one area it would be easier for collective management.

Before they came, Roland had to draw up all the relevant rules and regulations. As of now, Roland had no experience he could refer to, either,

after all, he doesn't have the personnel or capacity of the National Security Agency, nor is he the creator of the Avengers, who knows how to manage a group of people and has the ability for him!

He had no better choice than to insist on the basic system used for personnel management by the company,

slowly wade through the river fumbling with rocks. Of course, Roland knew that this program had a gap, but as a pioneer, what else could he do?

Retracing its tail and just living in Border Town could take decades to reach the brink of industrialization,

but he was not a cultivator, so how could he wait for decades?

Wanting to lead this era into the next era, being at the forefront of reform, it is necessary to have a spirit of adventure.

Just as he was recording this thought on paper, Barov opened the door and entered. Shaking the snow of his coat and saluting the Prince, he told him:

"Your Majesty, a messenger from Longsong Fortress is coming."
