6 Biocomputer Part 2

"What was their family name? Are they related?" Roland was still contemplating about the girls' origin.

"They came from the Wang Clan of the Searing Flame Island. They're distant cousins." Linneia explained.

They were even surnamed Wang, a very common surname in China, his original hometown from Earth.

It was the first for Roland to see Chinese descendants appearing in front of his eyes. He felt a sense of kinship with them.

Our dear king had totally forgotten that he did not even look Chinese anymore.

He pondered for a while and asked Linneia for clarification, "I thought Searing Flame Island was deserted?"

She smiled professionally and explained, "True, but that was long ago. Around 300 years back, a pioneer had set foot on the volcanic island. With the help of a magma-based witch and a good sum of gold royals, he revamped the island into a great industrial town. That person was the ancestor of these ladies." She gestured to them.

[When everything is done, I must pay a visit to their ancestral home.] He made a mental note.

He might even find traces of a fellow Chinese-descent transmigrator over there.

Roland continued observing their action. He still could not sense any energy which was the characteristic of a magic core from a witch.

A minute ticked by, then he could feel all the mental energies from the observing witches, including himself, converged at the trios' location.

Tendrils of energy in the form of mental powers flowed from unknown places, joined the main flow absorbed from the people gathering at the castle backyard. The mental powers funneled through the center of the triangle from the top of the triangle formation as they swirled in between the girls before merging with their heads simultaneously.

All three girls opened their eyes abruptly together; no irises were visible, only the scleras. Their bodies produced a ghostly glow and they started to float slightly, around two inches from the ground.

"Now they're ready to be questioned, your Highness." Linneia walked forward and explained to Roland.

Roland was in awe; from his eyes, he could see millions of minute mental energy streams as thin as a thread converged into a thick pillar of light funneled into the trio's 'triangle' formation made by linking hands with each other. The amount of magic energy soared to an unprecedented level. It was even stronger than Anna.

"I see. They act as a mental energy conduit; absorbing energy from the people and convert them into answers. The answers might come from the accumulation of knowledge from everyone involved. How fascinating."

It reminded Roland of the main carrier headed by Lady Eleanor previously where all the majority of Taquila witches merged together in it. Regretfully, the main carrier had died in the cross-fire from the previous battle. It was a tragic lost, which affected Roland and the other surviving Taquila witches until today. The presence of the second biocomputer-like powers from the three witches truly made Roland feel nostalgic and touched.

[I bet Pasha will love to know about this. She would be so touched.]

At first, Roland asked simple questions, such as "How many eggs are left when the farmer sold a dozen, ate three, being gifted with five, when he had twenty chickens, assuming each chicken produce two eggs, while three of them get sick today and didn't produce any eggs", "How many hours was the past winter", and "What was today's most notable success". The trance-like suspended girls could answer the questions without a pause while synchronizing their voices together.

Their answers were comprehensive, which greatly differed from the 'Yes' and 'No' function of the previous Taquila main carrier. This made Roland very happy.

He then started asking complicated mathematical questions such as varying formulas, reconstruction of theorems and characteristics of the most recently mined magic stone. They managed to answer all perfectly, albeit with a two to three-minute lag.

All of a sudden, Roland was caught in an epiphany; how about verifying the theories pertaining to space warping and the Einstein's field equation for artificially making an Einstein-Rosen bridge? Although no verification was found as the information were regarded as unfounded theories in his time, maybe these ladies could find the solution? It will be beneficial for making a spaceship which could travel at lightspeed and a teleportation gate.

Roland started asking complicated questions regarding hyper-fast travel, verification of the Alcubierre warp drive mathematical formulation and materials with negative density energy in successions. Even though this information was heavily used in making sci-fi movies, there was a grain of truth in each of them. Roland was a hardcore enough enthusiast until he took note of all the science facts just for fun.

The three girls kept silent for a long time after each question. Roland and the rest of the witches waited one hour for each question because Linneia told him that after one hour they didn't answer a question, it meant they couldn't come up with the appropriate answer for it.

After the third question being forwarded, the lag was obvious but lesser. After 20 minute, the girls simultaneously spoke, "The negative density energy particle do not exist in this plane as is to date but could be artificially constructed by combining the power of Miss Vayu, Miss Zaleha, Miss Rosseta, Miss Desaree and Miss Linneia with the modified Sigil of Weightlessness used in construction." They proceeded to explain the method of modification needed for the sigil to be turned into a new material with negative density attribute.

Roland was in awed with the answer. [I'm obsolete already!]

He pretended to be composed and nodded like a wise sage.

Posturing for the sake of image is also a must!

Roland has been regarded as the greatest genius monarch with omniscient knowledge since time immemorial and he must act the part to instill confidence in his subjects.

[Alas, what everyone truly needed is some background knowledge before they can themselves extrapolate from it.] He thought to himself while preparing himself to teach these lovely girls infos only sci-fi hardcore fans would care.

He felt somewhat guilty.

[Maybe by educating everyone with my random sci-fi knowledge, we could strike luck and manage to get someone to get a spark of inspiration and convert the theory into reality? We could never know unless we tried.] Roland tried hard to convince himself.

[What everyone truly lack was exposure to this kind of information and enough imagination.] The longer he thought about it, the better it sounded in his head.

Roland broke off from his reverie and praised the girls. They truly deserved it. "Good job Meifang, Luojien, Yingyue."

The three girls had 'switched off' from their computer-mode and stood at the side with the other witches. They were very nervous about what just happened. The questions posed by the ancestor king were unheard of and they were intrigued themselves that they could answer one of them.

He clapped lightly to get all the witches' attention, "Everyone, I have decided to give a specialized lecture for you all after this evening tea session."

Everyone was very excited!

To be able to attend the Immortal King's personal lecture was a precious experience only a few could get. They've read in the history books that every time the immortal king lectured using his profound knowledge, someone among the witches' community will experience an enlightenment and evolved her magic core to another level.

They started to chatter excitedly among themselves. Who will be the lucky one among them??

Roland didn't know his casual words has brewed up a storm!
