Chapter 759: The Ability of Secondary Evolution
The next afternoon, Roland received Sharon's ability report.
"So fast?" He raised an eyebrow, taking the test form from Wendy. "Has she accepted herself as a witch?"
"Yes, and more readily than we expected," Wendy said with a smile, recounting the meeting process last night. "I must say, her parents raised an excellent child."
"I see..." Roland couldn't help but be moved. In this era, being able to think so far ahead was already a pioneer. Perhaps history was propelled in this way—when beliefs are constantly passed on to future generations, making more and more people have this pursuit, until it reaches a certain level, it will cause earth-shattering changes in the world.
A single spark can start a prairie fire, the same principle applies.
Perhaps humanity is moving towards the light step by step in this way.
He carefully looked through the test process and magic judgment. As a witch who awakened at the age of fifteen, Sharon's magic cyclone was at a level, and the report even noted that this level was comparable to some adult witches in Taqila. It seemed that Phyllis was also on the scene during the ability test—as long as a new witch appeared, she was probably the most active one in Neverwinter.
Sharon's ability was to generate electricity, but Wendy's description of this part was relatively vague. Obviously, electricity was still a difficult problem in elementary physics.
When she increased the current intensity, the magic consumption would increase rapidly, but the current at this time was like thunder, which could easily penetrate wood and melt iron. When switching back to a weaker current, it must be in contact with an object to be effective, and can light up a light bulb, but it is easy to burn out the filament.
Since Sharon had just awakened, her control of magic was very unstable. Wendy's conclusion was that she was a combat-type witch with the potential to assist in production.
Roland didn't intend to retest. After all, there were no tools to determine voltage or current at hand. Even if he knew these parameters, he couldn't get accurate values.
Besides, releasing high-voltage current consumed a lot of her magic. In terms of continuous power transmission, she was obviously inferior to Mystery Moon's Dawn One. As for electromagnetic guns, don't even think about it.
Finally, the most important point was that whether it was Anna's black fire or Sharon's electric current, they were all effects transformed from magic and may not necessarily conform to relevant theories. Only when the ability is secondarily transformed into other effects can it match his familiar knowledge.
In short, this is a very potential ability, especially what kind of evolution will occur after understanding the essence of current, and how much improvement her magic will get when she is an adult, are all issues worth looking forward to. As for now, according to Wendy's suggestion, let her practice on her own while catching up on her studies as soon as possible so that she can catch up with everyone's progress.
Considering that Sharon has such a strong sense of justice, it seems pretty good to let her join the Ministry of Justice.
A little girl who can discharge electricity, constantly patrolling the streets, and always ready to arrest criminals, this feeling is really... particularly familiar.
However, Roland didn't say what he thought. He nodded to Wendy, "Let's do that, thank you."
"It's my honor, Your Majesty," Wendy said, stroking her chest.
...
After dinner, when Roland returned to the office, he found that in addition to Nightingale, there were also Lily and Mystery Moon in the room. The three were surrounding the desk, as if arguing about something.
"Come and see this," Nightingale beckoned to him. "Oh my god, it's exactly the same as the real thing!"
What is exactly the same? Roland walked to the desk curiously, only to notice that there were two pots of Bird Kiss Mushrooms placed on the desk.
"Uh... what's wrong with these mushrooms?" It wasn't like they looked the same. One pot of mushrooms was slightly shriveled, like the stock in the kitchen, while the other was much more watery. He pinched the stalk of the fuller mushroom, and the juice gushed out immediately. "It's quite fresh, did Lightning just pick it?"
Nightingale and Mystery Moon both turned their heads to look at Lily.
The latter shrugged, "I used magic to stimulate it."
"Oh... it's magic," Roland casually responded, then suddenly paused. "Wait—what? Use magic to stimulate it?"
"Your Majesty, the magic form she condensed is a little different from before," Nightingale said. "If the first evolution was a purple reptile, now it's like there are more patterns on its body, and the total amount of magic has also increased." She paused. "In other words, Lily's ability has undergone a second evolution."
"But it's still a bug!" Mystery Moon added, and then naturally received a roll of Lily's eyes.
"Is that so?" Roland happily picked up a mushroom and examined it carefully. He quickly understood what the other party meant by "stimulate." "Can you now turn the magic swarm into the form you want?"
"Well, only those that can be seen with a microscope, and I must first find a target that can be fused before I can proceed to the next step of assimilation." Lily nodded, although she pretended to be very calm, the light in her eyes betrayed her complacency. "Since the tiny larvae produced by the Bird Kiss Mushroom are easier to observe, I chose it for experimentation."
She was probably referring to fungal spores, which are also the basis of fungi. Roland couldn't help but get excited. Perhaps for Lily, any creature that cannot be seen with the naked eye, or rather, tiny insects, are under her control.
"Well done!" He reached out and rubbed the top of her head.
Unexpectedly, Lily didn't dodge, nor did she give him a roll of her eyes, but lowered her head and accepted Roland's praise.
"What's so good about it," Mystery Moon complained, "You don't know, the bedroom is no longer habitable! There are Bird Kiss Mushrooms everywhere, even the bed is covered with white umbrellas, it's like the Lost Forest after the rain!"
Lily's cheeks suddenly turned a little red. She glared at Mystery Moon and said, "I, I don't know why it turned out like this... At first, the larvae couldn't turn into Bird Kiss Mushrooms no matter what, and I thought there was a problem with the mother, but then I changed to another one, but I didn't expect mushrooms to grow all over the room."
After Roland understood the situation, he couldn't help but laugh. With his poor biological knowledge, he vaguely remembered that unlike a seed that can turn into a big tree, a single mushroom spore cannot grow into a mushroom. No matter how much it is assimilated, it still belongs to one spore, until it is combined with another spore after replacing the mother, then it quickly generates mushrooms. As for why they are everywhere, it is likely that the lost mother is floating in the bedroom, assimilating the bacteria in the room into Bird Kiss Mushroom spores.
"Let's have a mushroom feast for lunch tomorrow," he said with great interest.
There is no doubt that Lily's ability after the second evolution is no longer limited to sterilization and disinfection. As long as it can be observed, it can be transformed on a large scale, and the cost is almost zero, and it can also reproduce and expand like normal microorganisms. It can be called a perfect micro-army. Whether it is used for food production or to prepare for future wars, she can play a great role.
