When dawn broke, Roland yawned and walked into the office.
He had thought it would be an easy Day of Adulthood, but he did not expect so many accidents.
When Nightingale discovered that Lucia's expression was not right, the magic power in her body had already become restless, which was a sign of magic power devouring the body. For a witch who had practiced regularly and had emptied all of her magic power before adulthood, it was really inconceivable.
Agatha came up with a solution.
As a former member of the Union who had witnessed countless witches' awakening, she quickly came up with a solution.
The Ice Witch asked Spear Passi to summon a magic channel to draw out the backfiring magic power from Lucia's body. Anna, who had the largest capacity, was responsible for transferring the magic power, and then used the Sigil of God's Will to absorb the restless magic power.
Surprisingly, the drawn out magic power directly lit up four God's Stones and activated the Sigil of God's Will. Anna didn't hesitate for a second and decisively released it towards the open area.
At that moment, the sky above the town was illuminated by a golden sun. The dazzling light penetrated the castle walls and pierced the starless sky. Thick clouds appeared in the night sky, and thousands of tassels flowed above people's heads. It was a beautiful sight. Although it only lasted for a few seconds, it was a miracle.
Lucia was safe and sound in the end, and she even evolved a new ability during adulthood, which was exactly the same as Anna a year ago.
However, it was not without trouble. It happened at about eight o'clock in the evening, and most people were still awake. Many people must have witnessed this strange scene. When Roland returned to his room, he had to think about how to explain this phenomenon to the people.
"Your Highness, Director Barov wants to see you," the guard at the door knocked and said.
"Let him in."
The white-haired Barov quickly walked into the office and asked without saluting, "Your Highness, what happened last night? Why did the night suddenly turn into day?"
As expected, he came for the light. Roland glanced at the dark circles on his face and knew that he did not sleep well either. If the castle did not prohibit outsiders from entering or leaving at night, he would have come to the door immediately.
"Don't worry, sit down and talk." The prince pointed at the chair in front of the table. "Have a cup of black tea first."
Slowly pouring a cup of hot tea for her, he briefly told her about Lucia's coming of age. "It was just an accident. You don't have to worry too much."
"So … this is caused by a witch?" The City hall manager frowned.
"Don't think about the demons." Roland quickly guessed what the other party was thinking. "No one was hurt except for the missing half of the wall of this dilapidated castle."
"But the townspeople will think in this direction," Barov said, shaking his head. "Most of them accept Miss Nana's harmless healing ability, but not the terrible ability to destroy the castle and cause changes in the sky."
"So I thought of a solution." Roland took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Later, arrange for your men to spread the news: The golden light that appeared last night was because His Royal Highness had captured Thunder in the sky. His purpose was naturally to bring light to his people."
"What?" Barov was startled.
"I will soon set up power supply equipment in Border Town. Its nature is the same as thunder and lightning in the sky." The prince simply explained a few words. He knew that the other party would not understand if he explained too deeply. "This set of equipment can make the town brightly lit at night, which coincides with the news."
"Is, is that so?" The manager was surprised. "You can really make thunder and lightning?"
"It itself is everywhere." Roland shrugged. "But you have to remember that this is just a rumor, so you must spread it as a rumor. Do you understand?"
In order to avoid affecting his future universal education, such remarks must not be too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As long as he could temporarily give the people an ambiguous explanation and direct the source of the discussion to himself, it would be fine.
Not long after Barov left, the Minister of Construction, Carr Van Bate also came to the castle.
"Your Highness, in the evening..."
"I know what you want to ask." Roland put his hand on his forehead and said, "Sit down first."
He sighed in his heart. He was afraid that he would have to explain this matter for the whole day.
Fortunately, Carr did not think as deeply as Barov. After listening to him, he just sighed and said, "It turns out that Anna is already so powerful."
"At that time, it was indeed a very decisive decision." Roland agreed. "If it had been a few seconds later, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been the wall that disappeared, but the whole bedroom."
"That hole in the wall..."
"Just fill it with bricks and stones. You arrange the specific plan. It should be finished before dusk today. I will let Lightning and Hummingbird help you." The prince said. After repairing the wall, he should let Soroya paint a simulation coating, and the castle should be restored to its original appearance.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Just as he expected, Chief Knight Carter Lannis, First Army Commander Iron Axe, and Alchemist Kyle Sichi took turns to ask about last night's accident. Everyone was concerned about different things.
Carter was most concerned about whether he was injured or not.
Iron Axe was most concerned about whether the light came from the demon's attack.
And Kyle was most concerned about... which was more powerful, the Sigil of God's Will or the nitroglycerin?
Roland didn't send them away until his mouth was dry from all the talking. He leaned against the back of 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, what happened yesterday was..."
"I already know," Tilly interrupted him. "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 Lady Agatha, as long as a certain amount of training is guaranteed, it's very difficult to have the symptoms of body devouring. This is basically consistent with our experience. The witches on Sleeping Island have never had such a situation, so why did Lucia fall into the magic bite? " She paused a little and shook her head with a smile. "As for the High Awakening, I'm not surprised... Since I came to Border Town, I feel like I can see a few every day."
"A few every day is too exaggerated..." Roland poured her a cup of tea and thought for a moment before saying, "I have a preliminary guess about what happened to Lucia." He took a report card from the drawer and handed it to Tilly. "This may be the reason."
