Why would there be such a magic form!
Speer "stroked" the metal edge in disbelief—this was her unique way of perceiving magic, connecting to the channel, she could see, touch, and even smell the magic within the witches, as if she had stepped into their bodies.
The metal surface was hard and cold, as smooth as a mirror, every detail of the tendrils was clearly visible. When it touched the cube, it was quickly bounced back.
"Relax," the Marchioness comforted, "this thing is not harmful to you." But she wasn't sure if her ability could work on this hard metal—Anna's magic didn't seem to flow at all.
After several attempts, the tendrils finally stuck to the cube.
However, there was no reaction from the magic.
"What's going on?" Nightingale noticed something was wrong.
"I have never... transferred similar magic, it's too huge, and it doesn't seem like a flowing aura," Speer felt her throat was a little dry, "After the channel is connected, the magic should be absorbed by the 'Central Hub'."
"I'll try injecting the magic in," Anna suddenly said, "like using the Divine Will Sigil."
"Be careful not to output too much at once," Roland nodded.
What is the Divine Will Sigil? Speer found that since coming to the town, she had heard several new terms with unclear meanings every day.
Just as she was wondering, the magic in Anna's body suddenly changed.
The perfect mirror surface was broken at this moment, ripples appeared on the metal block, and the lightless liquid was pushed into the pipeline as if by something, swarming towards the floating sphere.
Then she felt the weight.
This liquid was extremely heavy, unlike the previous transfer of magic cyclones, flowing into the Central Hub felt like stuffing iron ingots into it, and Speer found that her magic consumption was rapidly increasing.
This was too incredible, she used to be able to easily maintain her ability for more than half a day, but now she found that at this rate, she might not be able to last even a quarter of an hour.
Helpless, she had to extract an extra tendril from the Central Hub and connect it to her body, using the magic provided by the other party to maintain the channel.
When the light sphere was completely filled, Anna's metal cube still maintained its original form, as if these magic were only an insignificant part of it.
Speer really wanted to swallow back what she had said earlier, she coughed twice, "Uh... the channel can already provide magic for Miyue xiaojie, what should we do next?"
"Just keep it," Roland handed Miyue a cylinder that looked like it was made of red copper, "The rest is up to you."
"Okay!" The latter took a deep breath, held the copper cylinder with both hands, and closed her eyes.
Magic flowed wildly in an instant.
Speer saw the metal block in Anna's body flashing with faint light, the liquid in the Central Hub was constantly emptied and quickly filled again, the entire channel trembled non-stop, as if it could be torn apart by the surging magic at any time. The Marchioness's forehead was covered in sweat, and she felt like she was standing in front of an overwhelming tsunami.
On the other end, Miyue's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her cheeks were flushed, obviously also bearing the impact of the wave. But compared to herself, who was only transferring the magic, she should be affected much more. Even so, she did not stop using her ability, the rapidly consumed magic was proof.
Are these girls monsters!
Speer didn't know how she managed to hold on to the end, when the magic in Anna's body was exhausted, she felt her legs were weak, and she had little strength left to even stand.
"Do-done..." Miyue opened her eyes and raised the copper cylinder excitedly, "I did it!"
"Well done," Roland carefully clamped the copper cylinder with a pair of wooden tongs, as if it were a red-hot iron.
"What is this?" The Countess asked, "It looks the same as before."
"A strong magnet with constantly changing magnetism," the Prince replied, "I don't know if it will form a connection with the earth when held in hand, thereby discharging electricity, it's better to be cautious about this kind of thing."
Speer blinked, "What?"
Nightingale laughed, "Don't mind them, only Anna can participate in this kind of topic."
"Then... what's it for?"
"The moment of verification is next," Roland put the copper cylinder into a dark iron lump in the center of the yard—its outline looked like a huge iron cylinder at first glance, the bottom was a wooden base, and an iron rod as thick as an arm extended from the middle. Then the Prince looked at Miyue, "Come and close the switch, if it succeeds, you will bring a new source of power to the town."
The latter nodded, grabbed a wooden handle next to the iron lump, and pulled it down hard—
Flames shot out from under the handle, making a crackling sound. Speer was surprised to find that the iron rod in the center of the cylinder was spinning rapidly, the problem was, this solid long rod weighed at least one or two people, how could it spin so fast?
"Is this... a success?"
"Not yet," Roland found a chair and sat down, smiling, "The key is to see how long it can run."
Speer noticed the light in his eyes, as if he was looking at not a simple and crude ironware, but a dazzling jewel.
*******************
Three days later, Roland opened the gate of the backyard of the North Slope Mountain again. Hearing the sound, Anna put down her work and hurried forward to greet him, her tone containing suppressed excitement: "It hasn't stopped yet."
Without her reminder, the Prince also heard the buzzing sound of the motor running, to him, this noise was no less than heavenly music. This meant that the variable magnetic core column enchanted by Miyue was still operating normally, as a new source of power, it already had practical value.
Walking to the center of the yard, Miyue was holding her head and sitting next to the motor, looking at the black lump with some boredom, "Your Highness, you said my ability is full of potential, is it referring to this thing? It doesn't look much different from a steam engine."
"This is just the first step in changing the world," Roland smiled, "You will soon see the changes it brings to the town."
Every progress of mankind is closely related to the way energy is used, in a sense, it can even measure the progress of a civilization. From steam to electricity, and from electricity to nuclear energy, breakthroughs in energy usually bring about huge improvements in industrial production, and Miyue's variable magnetic core column is such an emerging energy source—it is similar to an oversized battery, which can convert magic into electricity. Although the manufacturing scale limits its application, far from promoting an energy revolution, it is still an excellent source of power as a supplement to steam engines and internal combustion engines.
Moreover, with the continuous growth of Anna's magic, it still has great application potential to be explored, not to mention the huge source of magic that Leaf can provide after controlling the Misty Forest.
"The term variable magnetic core column is too awkward," he raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Let's call it Dawn One."
