Accompanied by howling wind and raging snow, Lucia entered the backyard of North Slope Mountain and closed the door, shutting the chill out of the room.

A circle of wooden sheds was pitched in the yard after winter kicked in. Although the lighting was somewhat affected, the houses here would at least not be buried in piles of snow.

There was a bonfire in the yard, and Lucia could even feel the heat of its flickering flames by the door. She took off her gloves and put her freezing hands above the blazes to warm herself up.

“Are you cold?” Anna, who stood at the workstation, turned her head and beckoned. “Come here, I’ll warm you up.”

“Ah… thank you.” Lucia trotted to her. Soon bathed in warm green flames that gave her a languid and relaxing sensation from head to toe, she felt like she was soaking in the bathtub of the castle.

“Such a convenient ability…” Lucia thought enviously. “She’s never afraid of the bitter cold.”

“Are you warm now?”

“Yes!” she affirmed, nodding vigorously. “What are you making?”

“Some parts for new guns.” Anna grabbed a long slim steel tube with a piston in the middle and pulled it back and forth. “His Highness says he’s not sure if it’ll work with the first shot, so it needs to be tested repeatedly.”

These parts, bright and shiny from the outside, were apparently made from the best rolled steel and were carefully carved by the Blackfire. Before coming to the town, Lucia would have never thought that the surface of iron objects could be as smooth as glass, like artwork.

She had also made a contribution to their creation. Lucia could not suppress a smile at this thought. Both Roland and Anna had said that without high-quality materials, the finished products would still be damaged goods, even with precise and refined processing methods.

“His Highness didn’t come with you?” asked Anna, who withdrew her green fire.

“He said that he still needed to take care of something and would come a little later. He asked me to first get familiar with my new ability,” Lucia answered, twitching her mouth.

“What does your ability look like after the evolution?” Anna inquired with great interest. “There’s probably no one in the Witch Union who created a bigger stir than you did upon entering adulthood.”

Lucia scratched her head, looking a bit embarrassed. “I probably couldn’t have made it without you and milord Spear.”
