Release that Witch Chapter 756: magic power tide

Roland startled, "Any questions?"

"That's it ..." Felice hesitated, "I heard that in your territory, only one witch awakened in the previous year?"

He pulls out a list from the drawer which is Wendy statistics for him. It records awakening day and coming-of-age day of each witch, so as not to miss the second freshman of witches. .

"Should be right," Roland checked the list again and nodded, "Although last year Months of Demons new joining had two witch, but White Paper has been awakened three years ago, it can be counted as awakening that year, only Asia ... and her awakening day happens to be coming-of-age day. "

"This shouldn't be, Your Majesty," Felice frowned. "How many people were there in your city last year? 20,000 or 30,000?"

"There should be 50,000," when it comes to population, Roland can't help but be proud, "This year, the number of Neverwinter City has exceeded 100,000."

"One hundred thousand words and early Anlieta Little difference until exit Fertile Plain prior to, Taqila It's only about 250,000, but ... you know these two Holy City What is the number of awakenings per year? " Felice whispered ,"even if magic power The poorest period, Anlieta Not less than ten people, Taqila It is close to three times this number. "

"magic power ... a period of poverty?"

"Yes, the magic power that fills this world is fluctuating, just like the tide." Agatha explained, "The two years after the advent of Red Moon were also the most abundant moment of magic power, and new witch appeared almost every day. . Then the free magic power will slowly weaken, and the period between the two Red Moon can be regarded as a lean period, and awakened will only appear after waiting for Months of Demons. "

The more vigorous magic power, the easier it is for witch to wake up. Roland also heard Agatha mentioned before. It was just that he thought that magic power would usher in a peak every year, but he did not expect that it would fluctuate sharply every hundreds of years. "But we are not far from the third War of Divine Will."

"This is the most worrying issue," Felice said. "The emergence of Infernal Dread Beast means that Red Moon is approaching, and the magic power trend should be more active. According to the test of Celine, this is indeed the case. But why is the number of awakenings of witch so low? Even if there is no awakening in the city, there should be a lot of witch in suburban towns and villages. For example, in the Taqila era, the witch provided by the surrounding territories is more than Holy City. Generally come That is, the larger the total population, the more witch, which is a rule summarized by Federation for hundreds of years. "

"At first I thought it was Neverwinter City who deliberately abandoned women when recruiting the population. Later, I thought that the influence of Church's made the freshmen witch dare not easily expose status, which led them to not immediately joining Neverwinter City ... It seems that this is not the case." Agatha slowly said, "Pasha has also discussed it, and finally came to the conclusion that there may be some factors affecting the awakening of the new witch, and it is gradually expanding."

Roland thought for a while before he said, "Assuming this guess is correct, do you have a way to find out what is causing this?"

The two looked at each other, simultaneously shook his head.

"Since it can't be resolved, let's take a break for the time being gods," he said, "No matter what the chance of awakening changes, we must drive Devil out of Land of the Dawn, right?"

Fortunately, once the foundation of industrial production is laid, the demand for witch is far less intense than the God Punishment Army or Heaven's Chosen One plan, otherwise this is really terrible news.

"You said ... that's true," Felice probably didn't expect that Roland's confidence against Devil was not affected at all. After a while, he returned to God, "Anyway, we must beat Devil."

"That's right," Roland smiled, "Ah, right ... I came to you before to ask about something. "He recounted his worries about the possible harm caused by the witch awakening." When Taqila, how did Federation handle such incidents? " "

"It's very simple, Your Majesty," Felice's tone seems a bit more Esteemed. She no longer looks directly at Roland, but lowers her head slightly. "Everyone at that time understood the rule of half a quarter."

"Half-quarter-minute rule?"

"Yes, witch is not without symptoms before awakening. magic power from the free state to converge in awakened body, this process will take about half a quarter of an hour or so." Felice replied, "At the beginning, the abdomen faintly produced stings The pain and burning, and then more and more intense, until the first backlash specific pain level varies from person to person, even those who are physically strong will not be affected too much, but the subtle tingling sensation is still detectable. "

She paused, "The rule of half a quarter of an hour is: As long as witch announces loudly that he is about to awaken during this time, those around him must leave her immediately. If there is no casualty caused by evasion, mortals must not report to Federation. Seek compensation; if losses are caused to the fixed place, Federation will be paid. "

This is a fresh approach, Roland secretly thought that the premise is that everyone is very familiar with witch, especially when the little girl of under age encounters a sudden sting, the first reaction is to make a declaration, not a doubt I broke my stomach by myself.

"What if the injured person is also witch?"

"If not announced in advance, the new awakened will face punishment for flogging or money, depending on the consequences. If it has been announced in advance, Federation will assume full responsibility. However, such situation is rare, after all, combat witch itself It's a minority, and even fewer have the ability to cause damage in the early stages of awakening.

In other words, in the Taqila era, if mortals did not avoid it in time, they would have to consider themselves unlucky. In that special era when witch was superior, they did nothing wrong. Roland obviously copied this method from impossible, but it can be used for reference to a certain extent.

Undoubtedly, aside from the punishment part, the half-minute rule has its advanced point: it promotes at least one idea, so that everyone understands that witch was born within human beings, regardless of whether it is accepted or not, every under age woman is It is possible to wake up as witch. This is like the red light stop and the green light line in future generations. All you can do is to follow the rules to avoid damage.

Of course, the complete exemption is impossible. Roland thinks that if you take a step back on this rule, you will treat witch and ordinary people equally, and give the injury after the announcement to City Hall. Without announcement, it will cause If it has serious consequences, it should be based on a trial of a negligent person ... or a law specifically regulating witch behavior, just like the traffic laws in later generations, may alleviate this contradiction to a certain extent.
