Watching Madlan bend the bronze rod inward, Qianqian's eyebrows also began to furrow towards the center.
Madlan, how did you suddenly gain mana?
The amount and intensity of this mana are almost on par with Qianqian, an experienced witch's familiar.
Taking the bronze rod from Madlan's hand, Qianqian bent it a couple of times to confirm there was no issue with the bronze.
Turning around, he called over the Child Soldiers, handed them the bronze rod, and asked them to test a few villagers who had recovered from illness.
"Madlan, can you try casting a spell?" Qianqian said to Madlan, "Try to feel the mana within you."
With eyes tightly shut, Madlan's face seemed constipated. After a long while, he reluctantly opened his eyes: "I can't feel anything."
Qianqian immediately cast a suspicious glance at Horn, as the symptoms were identical to Horn's: possessing mana but no spells.
