It felt so good to be close to the witch!

Roy's call made Ais tilt her head slightly, and she gave a slightly dissatisfied snort: "We're in heaven now, can't I even pinch you a couple of times?"

"And as compensation, I'm giving you a massage now."

Her words, tinged with a hint of playful naiveté and dissatisfaction, made Roy's eyes widen.

Wait, is there some mistake here?

With a quick thought, Roy realized why the Ice Witch Ais had such a perception.

In her mind, she must have been defeated in her battle against the legendary knight Sima of the Fangwind and fallen into a coma. Facing a legendary knight, being unconscious was practically the same as being dead, especially since this knight was a Temple Punishment Knight who, normally speaking, utterly despised witches.

If that's the case, then it's not hard to understand why Miss Ais believes she's in heaven right now.

Roy didn't understand why the legendary knight of the Fang Wind, Sima, would let the Ice Witch Ais and the Healing Witch Shanika go, but later, combining the scenes he saw in the memory fragments of the Moonlight Great Witch Cecilia, he had a guess in his mind.

Perhaps it was because Cesil's act of using himself as a foundation to seal the magical energy points that inspired the legendary knight Sima of the Fangwind.

Admittedly, Cecilia killed many Divine Punishment Knights back then, and her initial intention in sealing the magic veins was also out of selfishness to save her sister. However, it is undeniable that without Cecilia's sacrifice, most of the region in the entire Rafa province and countless innocent people would have perished in the outbreak of primordial magic radiation.

A complex web of gratitude and resentment led the legendary knight Sima to choose to spare the Ice Witch Ais and the Healing Witch Shanika.

The problem is, Miss Ais doesn't know any of this.

In her mind, she should have died long ago. Now that she has woken up, what else could it be but heaven?

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the fox-eared witch Elena and the light witch Vivian, who were stunned by the scene. To prevent Miss Ais from falling into an embarrassing situation later, Roy quickly coughed and said, "Um, Miss Ais, we are not in heaven right now."

"Hmm? If it's not heaven, is it hell? But how could someone as kind as you go to hell?"

The Ice Witch Ais's voice was full of doubt. She finally looked away from Roy's face and looked around.

The familiar ceiling, the familiar bed, the familiar scent, the familiar Elena…

Ok……

A certain possibility that surfaced in her mind caused the smile on Ais's lips to gradually fade. She silently withdrew her hands from gently rubbing Roy's cheeks, and quietly pulled the blanket over her face.

I must be dreaming, I must be, right?

Let's just destroy this world!

……

This embarrassing incident ended with Roy and the two kids promising not to leak it out.

This helped the Ice Witch Ais recover from her awkwardness, and her face regained its usual coldness, though she occasionally glanced at Roy with a hint of evasion.

As Roy recounted the events, the Ice Witch Ais, who gradually learned the whole story of the Star Lake incident, fell silent.

The Moonlit Witch Cecilia... The Legendary Three-Star Knight Sima... A grudge from 150 years ago... This scheme involves the temple, the second prince, and the border duke...

I never imagined that the small Blackstone Territory would be involved in such a complicated matter.

After listening to Roy's story, the Ice Witch Ais couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time, she deeply felt the weakness of her own strength.

After being promoted to "Grand Rank" and greatly improved in strength, Ais showed no outward signs of complacency, but in reality, she couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.

After all, that's a "Grand Rank," a legendary existence for witches. Not to mention Silver Knights, even Gold 3-star Knights wouldn't be a match for them.

But the Star Lake incident was a wake-up call for Ais, making her realize that in the face of true power, a mere "Grand Witch" is nothing more than an ant that can be dealt with with a single blow.

Admittedly, the Fangfeng Legendary Knight is a top-tier existence even among the Legendaries, but Ais, who has experienced the true power of the Legendary realm, knows very well that even a Legendary One-Star Knight who has just entered the Legendary realm could easily defeat her.

She's still too weak...

With such strength, he was simply unable to fulfill the "three-item agreement" with Roy.

In Ais's view, she was ultimately saved, and the Star Lake incident did not count as completing "one thing" at all. Instead, because of the life-saving grace, she owed something.

Now, things have changed back to three things after the Xinghu incident, which originally only had two issues.

At this rate, when will we ever be able to fulfill the "three-point agreement"...?

As for what would happen after the "three-item agreement" was fulfilled, Ais hadn't even thought about it.

"That's how it all started. Now, I have two A-level forbidden items, including the Lost Ice Coffin, as well as this book summarizing the witch system path."

Roy took out "Key Points of Witch Cultivation at Each Stage and Blood Refinement Method" from his spatial ring and handed it to the Ice Witch Ais, solemnly saying, "You may refer to the first part, but you must not touch the blood refinement method at the end."

"This special secret technique that the Witches' Association found in the ruins of previous generations has great side effects. Even the Moon Witch Cecilia was harmed by it."

"I can help you remove the pollution, so this stuff is of no use to you."

Taking the book from Roy and sensing the seriousness in his words, the Ice Witch Ais nodded earnestly.

She looked at the book in her hands, her eyes shining slightly.

Having reached the "Grand Rank," aside from storing the maximum magic power of the "Witch's Heart," she no longer knew which direction to strive for. The witch path system summarized by the Witch Association was of great significance to her.

"Oh, right, here you go." Roy continued rummaging through his spatial ring, taking out five high-purity magic crystals and stuffing them into Ais's hand: "These high-purity magic crystals should help you increase your magic power limit."

Because he didn't know if the effects of high-purity magic crystals on Grand Witches would be weakened, Roy's tone wasn't entirely certain.

He didn't take out the Purple Crystal Tree for Ais to absorb, because the tree still contained a large amount of pollution at the level of a Grand Witch. Before absorbing this pollution, the natural magic within the Purple Crystal Tree was no different from poison to a Grand Witch.

"Well……"

Just then, a soft moan that sent shivers down one's spine came from the bed not far away. Upon hearing this, Roy quickly turned his head to look.

The girl with ram's horns on the bed stretched lazily, and even while lying flat, her undulating body rippled violently with her movement.

The Healing Witch Shanika has awakened!

(Sigh, I've been accompanying my mother back to her hometown these past two days, so I haven't had enough time to write. I can only manage a basic update of 4,000 words per day. I'll make up for it with a big update when I get back the day after tomorrow. Sorry.)

Daily book recommendation: "The Day Fantasy Invades"

[Recommendation]: The day when legends from history and mythology come to life is the day fantasy invades.

Highlights of the author's self-introduction:

The main fantasy creature in the first volume is the dragon, but this is only the beginning of the fantasy invasion; more and more powerful creatures will appear later.

The author has created a group of extremely realistic characters and an extremely fantastical world. The character portrayals are delicate, with many choices and sacrifices that reveal human nature and are thought-provoking. The exciting battle scenes in the early stages also make the grand melee of fantastical creatures in the later stages even more anticipated.

Those who are interested can take a look.

"Shanika, you're awake too, that's great."

Looking at the healing witch Shanica, who was sitting up on the bed, stretching out her alluring curves, Roy's smile grew even wider.

"Hmm...it feels like I slept for a long time."

Shanika licked her full lips, her eyes still glazed over as if she had just woken up from a long sleep.

"Sixteen hours have passed," Roy said. "By the way, Miss Ais has also woken up."

"Has it been that long...?"

With a blink, the dazed look in Shanica's eyes quickly faded. She looked at the girl in the deep purple dress sitting upright by the desk, holding a book, and gave an elegant smile: "Miss Ais."

"Just call me Ais, no need to be so polite." The Ice Witch Ais nodded gently to Shanika: "Shanika, thank you for saving me this time."

"If you need any help in the future, I will do my best to help you within my ability."

From Roy, Ais learned that it was Shanika who rescued her from the ice pile by Star Lake, carried her all the way back to the lord's mansion, and used her abilities to pull her back from the brink of death.

If it weren't for Shanika, she would probably have died from the erosion of the fighting spirit of the legendary knight Sima.

The debt of gratitude for saving my life is immeasurable.

"Okay, then I'll call you Ais from now on." Shanica smiled slightly. "Besides, you were in critical condition because you saved me, so in the end, I should be the one thanking you."

Ais shook her head and said nothing more.

In her mind, she went to Star Lake to stop the enemy because of her promise to Roy. Although it actually constituted saving Shanika, that was not her true intention.

One thing comes to another.

From Ais's behavior and facial micro-expressions, Shanika vaguely guessed what she was thinking, to which Shanika simply smiled.

"By the way, Shanika, come and see why Lilia hasn't woken up yet?"

The successive awakening of the two witches relieved Roy of a great deal of worry. He looked at Lilia, the Shadow Witch who was still unconscious on the bed, and said with some concern.

Previously, Shanica had said that Lilia's condition was much better than Ais's. Although her life force was damaged, she would wake up after a rest. But now, even Ais, who was in the most critical condition, had woken up, while Lilia was still unconscious, which made Roy very worried.

Lilia, has something unexpected happened?

Upon hearing Roy's words, Shanica let out a soft "Hmm?": "Miss Lilia hasn't woken up yet?"

As she spoke, Shanica turned and went to the bedside to carefully observe Lilia's condition. A few seconds later, she reached out her hand, and a milky white light enveloped Lilia once again.

A minute later, the milky white light faded, and Shanika's brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing this, Roy's heart skipped a beat: "Shanika, what about Lilia?"

“Hmm…” Shanica’s expression was a little strange, as if she was puzzled or confused. After considering for a while, she looked at Roy and said, “Young Master Roy, Miss Lilia seems to be in a state of talent evolution.”

"Hmm?" Roy's eyes widened slightly: "Talent evolution?"

Roy was no stranger to talent evolution. Both the Ice Witch Ais and the Shadow Witch Lilia had undergone talent evolution with his help. What surprised him was that Lilia had just undergone talent evolution not long ago. Why was she undergoing it again now?

“I’m also puzzled.” Shanica’s face showed a thoughtful expression. “I’m sure that Miss Lilia is indeed in the process of talent evolution, but she just underwent one talent evolution. How could she undergo another one in such a short time… Young Master Roy, could you tell me more about Miss Lilia’s previous experiences?”

Upon hearing this question, Roy nodded and recounted his previous encounter within the magic pulse point space.

The Moon Witch Cecilia bestowed upon Lilia the "Seed of Dark Moon"... Facing the attacking legendary knight Sima of the Fang Wind, Lilia activated the "Seed of Dark Moon," granting herself peak Grand rank magic for a short time, and used a blood sacrifice to summon a clone of a legendary shadow creature... The pure white giant wolf clone perished at the hands of the legendary knight Sima of the Fang Wind... With the summoned creature dead, Lilia, as the summoner, coughed up blood and fell into a coma.

After hearing Roy's story, even Ais, looking at the black-haired, black-clad girl sleeping on the bed, couldn't help but show a look of agreement.

Lilia's choice was decisive and correct. Facing a legendary knight, even the magic power at the pinnacle of the Grand rank would be hard to win. Summoning the clone of a legendary creature with all her might was the best choice for her and Roy at that time.

Unfortunately, the strength of the legendary knight Sima of the Fangwind is incomparable to that of ordinary legendary knights. The gap between a legendary three-star knight and a legendary one-star knight is as vast as an chasm. Even the legendary king creature clone in the Shadow World is far from being his match.
