Roland pulled out a piece of draft paper from the desk and roughly calculated the average age of the residential area and the temporary settlement. He concluded that the average age of the residents of Neverwinter City was between forty and fifty, while the latter was only around thirty-five. From this point alone, many problems could be seen.
Generally speaking, the increase or decrease in average lifespan is a long-term process, and the living standards in Border Town at the beginning were obviously not much better than those of the displaced people. In just five years, the lifespan of the local residents had been raised to a higher level, and Nana Wawa and Lily were undoubtedly the biggest contributors.
"Two days to get a thousand data points, does Momo not need to look at them one by one when using her ability?" Roland asked.
"Yes, if her magic is abundant, she can see the numbers of everyone in her field of vision at the same time," Wendy replied softly. "However, she herself seems to have never done this before, and has never tried to find out where her limit is. She feels that her ability is a curse, even if she knows it, she can't do anything about it."
"It's like watching the people around you move towards death bit by bit," Nightingale sighed.
A curse? Useless except for bringing misfortune? Roland thought disapprovingly, that's completely wrong! When a country develops to a certain extent, any government decree can have far-reaching effects. Head-slapping village management obviously cannot keep up with the pace of changing circumstances, and the meaning of statistics comes from this.
Summarizing, observing, and tracking the changes in these statistical data, and adjusting the details of government decrees accordingly, can be said to be an indispensable ability for any organization that wants to enter the era of modern times, and the change in average life expectancy is an extremely important part of it.
If you use conventional means to record it, not only do you need a sufficiently sound grassroots department and manpower, but it also takes decades of perseverance to see initial results - after all, before people die, no one knows how long they can live.
At present, in Graycastle, except for Neverwinter City, other cities have only just established secondary city halls that can implement government decrees. The staff are doing the work of two people, let alone doing population statistics that need to be refined to communities and streets.
In fact, the reason why Neverwinter's resident information can be so complete now is also inseparable from volume. When will the administrative hall have enough manpower to send literate people to grassroots organizations such as community neighborhood committees to work? That is when it truly reaches the requirement of moving towards an omnipotent government.
And Momo can help Graycastle skip the stage of time accumulation directly. In the case of a lack of everything, a statistical system can be initially built, which is nothing more than cooking without rice - and this is only the case when only a superficial understanding of her ability is currently known.
When Wendy finds out bit by bit the specific meanings represented by those colors, such as the impact and extent of factors such as disease, hunger, and the environment, a detailed large database can be easily obtained. Not to mention that this data also has a predictive effect. As long as it is used properly, this ability can bring benefits to all aspects of the kingdom's operation.
Those wolf-hearted nobles didn't know what they missed.
In Roland's eyes, Momo is already a glorious member of the Administrative Hall - and in the future, she will be at least a ministerial level.
"By the way, has Nana Wawa's treatment time been arranged?" Roland closed the record book and asked.
Wendy nodded, "It's today. Would you like to go and see?"
The medical center can be said to be one of the busiest areas in the city, especially after the end of the war. Nana Wawa. Pine is no exception. Although she doesn't need to stay in the laboratory for a long time like Anna, her daily treatments are scheduled in advance, and it is said that she is now ranked hundreds of people away and is still increasing.
This is also related to the characteristics of her ability. When performing limb amputation treatment, it can consume all the magic power in about a quarter of an hour, so that the injured who have lost parts larger than the palm of their hand will not be accepted for application for the time being, but instead will be issued a disability certificate as a substitute. When Nana Wawa comes of age or her ability evolves, and her magic power has increased significantly, these injured patients can be treated out of turn with the certificate.
Speaking of which, Nana Wawa's coming-of-age day should be the Evil Moon this year. Roland thought to himself. For some reason, when he mentioned the little girl who used to be in the same class as Anna, the first impression that came to his mind was the way she held a chicken in her hands, accusing herself with a puffed-up look.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
……
Momo didn't expect that after showing her ability, she would not only not be driven away, but also be warmly taken in by Wendy.
Now she and Dylan have moved into the Witch Building and become members of the Witch Union.
After dinner every time, she can always meet other witches coming to visit. Some of them bring some unnamed delicacies that can make people cry, while others kindly guide them on how to use the equipment in the room and what to pay attention to when living in the castle area. In just two days, her view of the world has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Living is such a wonderful thing.
And when she learned that there was still hope for her lost eyes to recover, Momo finally couldn't help but plunge into Wendy's arms and cry aloud.
Only here can tolerate her wanton tears.
"Don't worry," Wendy patted her back gently at the time and comforted her, "Although Nana Wawa rarely lives in the Witch Building, she is also a member of the Witch Union, and she is about the same age as you. She will be happy to heal you."
On the appointed day, Momo was taken into the medical center early by Ling. On the way, she had already learned from the other party the basic situation of treating witches. Unlike her own background, Pine Xiaojie not only came from a noble family, but also had a very useful ability. She was known as the little angel of Neverwinter City, and it can be said that she was in the clouds from the beginning.
She could almost imagine the image of the other person - it must be the kind of cute girl whose face always had a smile, wearing beautiful clothes, and behaving generously, who would be liked by anyone who saw her.
Therefore, when Ling called her into the treatment room, she was quite nervous, and even a sense of inferiority surged from the bottom of her heart for no reason, so she lowered her head slightly.
"Is this the person to be treated next?" A clear voice came to her ear.
"That's right, her name is Momo, and like you, she is also a witch." The tone of the answer made her feel inexplicably familiar, and Momo couldn't help but look over in surprise... The other party was actually His Majesty the King!
It was also this glance that allowed her to see the rumored angel Xiaojie.
The next moment, Momo used all her strength to prevent herself from screaming.
Nana Wawa. Pine was wearing a white coat that wrapped her whole body, with only a pair of eyes exposed. Not to mention being beautiful and gorgeous, even ordinary people's clothes would not be so simple.
If that was all, what really frightened her was that there was a patch of bright red on the other person's chest, which was actually blood that had not yet solidified!
