When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Watching Madelaine bend the mithril rod inward, Sisi's eyebrows also began to furrow.

Madelaine, how did she suddenly gain magic?

And the amount and intensity of this magic, how is it almost the same as Sisi, this veteran witch's familiar?

Taking the mithril rod from Madelaine's hand, Sisi bent it a couple of times, confirming that the mithril was fine.

Turning around, she called the child soldiers and handed them the mithril rod, asking them to test a few more villagers who had recovered from their illness.

"Madelaine, can you try to cast a spell?" Sisi said to Madelaine, "Try to feel the magic within you."

Closing her eyes tightly, Madelaine's face looked constipated, and it took a long while before she reluctantly opened her eyes: "I can't feel anything."

Sisi immediately turned her suspicious gaze to Horn, this was exactly the same as Horn's symptoms, having magic but no spells.

Under normal circumstances, not being able to use spells makes it impossible to determine whether Madelaine's witch familiar identity comes from Jeanne or Carrie, or even Horn.

Because all are possible, many witch familiars are very weak at first and cannot feel the existence of magic, and cannot use spells.

But the mithril proved that Madelaine's magic, not only exists, but is almost catching up with Sisi.

If Horn's witch magic is actually just a lot of magic power, then his familiars should also have a lot of magic power.

Doesn't this match up?

Thinking this way, Sisi suddenly felt that the symptoms of those patients in the camp were very similar to witch disease.

Coughing, rash, fever, but the biggest difference is that the intensity is very low.

Most people have a low fever, and some people only have nasal congestion and coughing. When they get sick, they can not only walk, but also run and jump.

Their witch disease has no sequelae at all, and their sensory organs are even more sensitive, which is still extremely similar to Horn.

Eliminating all possibilities, the only answer is that.

You little brat is a male witch, Horn!

Could it be that the witch disease he had before was just a more severe cold? And was mistaken for witch disease?

This is the only reason that can explain these magical phenomena.

Before Sisi could escape from her confusion, she heard the sound of the curtain being lifted again.

"Brother Sisi," Grampwen, holding a mithril rod, trotted into the tent, excitedly shouting, "I went to test it, and nine out of ten villagers who have recovered have magic."

"Can they feel the magic?"

"No, none of them can feel it."

Confirmed, Sisi suddenly felt that she already knew the truth of the matter.

Although she didn't know why, Horn was indeed a male witch, or rather, a male mage.

Extending outward from this, Horn's witch disease symptoms are mild, and the mortality rate is extremely low. The only two seriously ill patients were even pulled back by allicin.

Does that mean that Horn can mass-produce witch familiars?

It's just a pity that Horn's familiars also only have magic but no spells, and their magic is not enough to support them in using the Ferdinand Great Bow.

It is also unlikely to switch to small bows, because the cost is too high. There is a reason why wizards do not equip mithril bows in large quantities.

Not everyone has Horn's amount and intensity of magic.

These familiars might as well become alchemists.

In any case, this also has great value, especially since the White Mountain Hermitage's main source of income comes from selling alchemy products.

This Horn must be brought to Black Serpent Bay. Sisi has a premonition that if his male mage identity can be confirmed, it will be of great benefit to the Secret Party and the current magical development.

"Your Majesty, I have something I need to talk to you about privately later." Quickly walking to Horn's side, Sisi decided to tell the truth.

"Hmm?" Horn was a little absent-minded at the moment.

When he just saw Madelaine bending the mithril rod, he always had a feeling, a feeling of grasping something crucial.

At this moment, he did not notice Sisi's gaze, but only focused on the mithril rod in his hand.

He always felt that something was stuck in his head, but he couldn't figure it out.

Calming down, Horn began to consider the thoughts in his heart from the beginning.

In fact, Horn has his own opinion on mithril as an alchemy product.

He believes that Sisi's "mithril deformation comes from magic" is very rough, and even wrong.

If analyzed from the perspective of energy conservation, it is not that mithril deformation absorbs magic, but that magic changes the material strength of mithril.

At the moment when mithril comes into contact with magic, before there is time to use external force to deform it, a portion of magic has already entered.

The role of magic is to change the Young's modulus of the mithril material, or macroscopically speaking, the stiffness coefficient, making it smaller, causing the material to become softer.

When in contact and deformed, because of the reduction in the stiffness coefficient, it is easier to cause deformation than before. In order to maintain this extra deformation, it is necessary to draw magic.

The elastic potential energy converted from the kinetic energy of the deformation is, according to common sense, smaller than in the non-magic situation.

Because Horn only used that much force.

But at the moment of letting go, the magic that maintains the stiffness coefficient becomes smaller leaves, then the Young's modulus immediately returns to normal.

At this time, the elastic potential energy should also become larger.

Normally, energy cannot be generated out of thin air, so where does this part of the energy come from?

The only explanation is that it converts magic into this part of elastic potential energy.

Of course, this is not to say that all its kinetic energy comes from the conversion of magic. Its own elasticity is also very important.

Obviously, mithril is actually a one-way converter of magic to elastic potential energy.

From this perspective, things are very interesting.

Because there is another phenomenon, that is, after the mithril returns to its original shape and enters a static state, the excess magic will be discharged as a spell.

If Horn's magic cannot drive spells, then will mithril convert all the remaining magic into kinetic energy?

At least from Horn's performance when he first used the test mithril rod, this is really the case.

The more Horn thought, the more he felt that an idea was about to emerge.

Inside the huge Papal Palace, there was silence at this moment, and everyone focused their attention on Horn.

Although they didn't know why Horn was thinking, what he was thinking about, the others were not easy to disturb, but stood aside and waited.

After all, with so many people with magic appearing, they needed Horn to define the matter and appease the public's emotions.

"Doo doo doo——"

A melodious and ear-piercing flute sound came from far to near. Anyone with ears knew that this unlucky sound was Carrie.

The moment Carrie stepped into the tent, Horn was struck by lightning, and the idea that was about to emerge immediately became clear.

"Bang!"

A sound of hitting the table came from the previously terribly quiet tent, startling everyone, including Carrie.

Horn rarely stood up excitedly: "I understand, this is so interesting, this is so interesting."

"Your Majesty, what are you..."

"Duvaron, go and call Jeanne over, I need her to help me make something, and also Rector, call him over too."

Sisi frowned: "What are you going to do?"

Walking back and forth in the tent, Horn smiled mysteriously: "I'll tell you when I succeed."
