Chapter 516
What Soraya did was to cover the cut copper wire with a layer of hard anti-corrosion coating so that it could be used for the City of Neverwinter's Three Supplies Project .
This process was easier than coating the inner wire, as the thickness did not require much accuracy .
After choosing the color card, Soraya turned the Magic Pen into a round tube . Once scanned from top to bottom, the "pigment" will become solid on the metal surface . It was a trick she learned from Anna—to make better use of magic power by changing its form .
However, there was still a big gap between them because Anna's ability to control magic was almost perfect . Soraya witnessed the Blackfire as it was cutting metal ingots . It seemed like a performance instead of a task… The three types of Blackfire were in different forms, and they cut through the metal from different angles, making a number of parts that were all the same size, or directly created a complete machine . It was easy to remember the characteristics of the black fire at different lengths . It was, however, hard to control the many types of it and make them work together while maintaining the different characteristics of their magic power . In order to do that, there should be no difference between magic power and limbs, and the magic power might need to be more flexible .
"Is it… a vine?"Lucia asked as she stared curiously at the colors painted by the Magic Pen .
"Exactly, this is a 10-year-old grapevine . " Soraya explained, "It's hard and difficult to break, very close to His Highness' requirement . "
"10 years old . . . Is that necessary?" .
"Of course . " She could not help laughing . "Young vines are obviously softer and less resistant to corrosion and heat . It's not just about their ages . Materials, such as wood, paper, and cloth have different properties in wet and dry conditions . That's why I need to use color cards to record them . "
"If this is true, there'll be more color cards than metal formulas!" exclaimed Lucia .
"Not really," Soraya thought for a while and said, "'Elementary Chemistry' states that the characteristics of a material might undergo huge changes while its composition has subtle changes . But, the color card of wood has no noticeable changes when it's mixed with 10% or 15% water . "
"Wow, you record the whole world with just a pen . " Lucia was amazed . "This is really an enviable ability . "
She smiled but did not answer . She was thinking of Anna, who really had an enviable ability . If the Magic Pen was recording the world, then the Blackfire was creating the world . Most of the changes in the town were related to Anna . Several of the machines at the corner of the courtyard displayed proof of that . As long as they were connected to the steam engine, they were able to produce strong bursts of power . The workers became an add-on to the Blackfire through a machine . In a sense, Anna's creation enabled the ordinary people to have power close to the witches' .
Today's job was considered done after coating five bundles of copper wire—Soraya's working life was very consistent . She would go to different places to complete partial coatings every day . Since her painting speed had improved, only about half of her magic power would be exhausted by midday .
When a witch consumed all her magic power, she would feel tired or even faint . Therefore, they would usually retain 30% of their power during the daily training—Typically, as additional training to consume more magic power, she would continue to collect color cards and capture new colors . Still, Soraya became less productive because Wendy and His Highness were not around . For that reason, she decided to join Mystery Moon and others in Fight the Landlord game later .
She thought that this was definitely not slacking off . It was just a temporary entertainment .
. . .
Time always flew fast while playing a game . The whole afternoon passed within a wink . After dinner, Scroll announced some unexpected news .
