It felt so good to be close to the witch!

Ais's expression hardened as she recalled the image of the legendary knight Sima shattering her Bloodline Ice Sword with a single finger.

She needs to become stronger...

After understanding the whole story, Shanica nodded: "I think I know why Miss Lilia has entered the talent evolution state again."

Without keeping her in suspense, she continued, "As far as I know, witches only have one chance to evolve their talents during each major stage."

“Miss Lilia has already undergone a talent evolution during the ‘Witch Stage’, so it shouldn’t be possible for her talent to advance again. I think the reason for this is because of the ‘Dark Moon Seed’.”

"The 'Dark Moon Seed' condensed by Lady Cesil allowed Miss Lilia to experience the magic of the pinnacle of the Grand rank ahead of time. If that were all, this situation would not have occurred. However, Miss Lilia performed a blood sacrifice summoning in order to fight against the legendary knight."

"Perhaps it was because of this blood sacrifice summoning that she connected with the legendary creatures in the Shadow World, which further enhanced her understanding of her own talents. Combined with the influence of the magic power at the peak of the Grand rank at that time, it was by chance that she entered a state of talent evolution again during her witch stage."

"This is a good thing for her."

"Compared to Ais's first talent evolution, Miss Lilia's talent evolution is undoubtedly much lower. Now, Miss Lilia, who has already reached the limit of magic power at the witch stage, is undergoing another talent evolution. She will surely become even more perfect."

Shanica's tone was filled with envy. She was also a witch who had been completely cleansed of corruption by Roy's side, but she was the only one who had failed to undergo talent evolution.

After listening to Shanica's words, Roy nodded in understanding.

Shanica had served for a long time, and before coming to Blackrock Territory, she had healed many witches. It was not surprising that she possessed a lot of information that even he did not know. This explanation was quite reasonable.

It's a good thing that Lilia underwent another talent evolution during her witch stage. Relieved, Roy quickly noticed the envy in Shanika's eyes and smiled slightly.

"Shanika, this is for you."

A crystal radiating a deep purple light was presented to Shanika, accompanied by Roy's voice: "I obtained quite a few high-purity magic crystals in the magic pulse space this time. This one should be enough for you to raise your magic power to the limit of a witch."

"In this way, you should also be able to undergo your first talent evolution."

"By the way, later you can go with Ais to look at that book. The 'Basic Meditation Method' recorded in it is very important. Before you have condensed nine runes, it is best not to try to advance to the Grand rank."

"The process of ascending to the 'Grand' rank is extremely dangerous; even Ais almost lost her life last time."

Staring blankly at the deep purple crystal of rules in front of her, Shanika pursed her lips, her eyes shimmering like water.

Shanika reached out and took the high-purity magic crystal, a beautiful smile blooming on her face: "Mmm!"

As Shanika received the high-purity magic crystal, she gently ran her soft fingers across Roy's palm twice, the tingling sensation making Roy's heart skip a beat.

Because of the very discreet angle, neither Ais, Vivian, nor Elena could see this "little action." The thrill of "cheating" in front of everyone was almost unbearable.

Roy glared at Shanika, whose expression remained unchanged and who seemed to have done nothing, then let out a soft breath, suppressing the tremor in his heart, and slowly said:

"The situation outside is uncertain right now. For safety's sake, please do not leave here until everyone is fully recovered."

Upon hearing this, the women nodded.

During the conversation just now, Ais also mentioned that she had only repelled but not killed the Crimson Sword Callus and the hooded figure in black robes, so their threat still exists.

Given their current state, even if the two were injured, they would have no chance against two peak Gold Knights.

Given the current situation, the best option is for everyone to remain hidden and wait until they are back to their peak condition before venturing out.

After making the decision, everyone started doing their own thing.

Shanica and Elena followed Ais as she studied the "Basic Meditation Method." Although Ais had already advanced to the Grand rank, she still needed to learn the nine runes from the first stage to lay a solid foundation for the second stage of the Basic Meditation Method.

As for Vivian, although she already knew that her older sister was in the process of talent evolution, which was a good thing rather than a bad thing, she still couldn't put her mind at ease looking at her older sister who was still unconscious. As for learning the basic meditation method, she could only wait until later.

Roy himself continued his breathing exercises.

Reaching Silver rank is not the end, but rather just the beginning.

While silver is much stronger than bronze, it is still just a larger ant compared to gold or even legendary gold.

Having experienced the despair of being powerless in the face of legends, Roy felt no pride whatsoever at being promoted to Silver.

The path to extraordinary achievements has only just begun...

With this in mind, Roy summoned the Dark Purple Crystal Tree, absorbing and refining a large amount of pollution until the silver-level energy within his body filled his internal space. Only then did he return the Dark Purple Crystal Tree to his high-level spatial ring and enter into a deeper level of breathing technique cultivation.

……

While Roy and his companions were recovering and progressing in the hidden place, the turmoil caused by the Star Lake incident was more intense than Roy had anticipated.

The news of the fall of the legendary three-star knight Sima and the release of the Moonlight Great Witch Cecilia, who had been sealed for hundreds of years, spread at an alarming speed in the extraordinary world, causing a huge uproar.

Legendary Samsung, in an era when no legendary peak appeared, was already the strongest single combat force on the surface.

The fall of such a being is undoubtedly a momentous event, with far-reaching consequences that are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

Compared to the fall of the legendary three-star knight Sima, the news of the Moonlight Great Witch Cecilia breaking free from her seal has captivated the hearts of those in the extraordinary world, especially the legendary knights.

Legendary knights who know the concept of the "Great Witch" are very clear about just how terrifying this extraordinary witch, who appears only once every few centuries, truly is.

Knights are far inferior to witches at the same level; it often takes three or more knights to defeat a witch of the same power level.

This situation becomes increasingly severe as the witch's stage increases.

At the same energy level.

It takes three to five Silver Knights to guarantee a victory against an ordinary witch.

The Grand Witch requires five to seven Gold Knights to have any chance of victory.

The Great Witch is a terrifying being that is rarely seen in thousands of years. Even ten legendary knights would not dare to say that they have any hope of winning against her.

This can be seen from the terrifying achievements of the former Moonlight Great Witch, Cecilia. One hundred and fifty years ago, Cecilia, who had just broken through to become a "Great Witch," was able to overpower eight legendary knights all by herself.

It's important to know that while none of these eight legendary knights possessed top-tier combat power like legendary three-star knights, there were three legendary two-star knights.

Even with the combined strength of three legendary two-star warriors and five legendary one-star warriors, the eight of them were no match for Cecilia, who had just entered the Great Witch realm.

The fall of the legendary three-star knight Sima further demonstrates that Cecilia, who has just entered the Great Witch's ranks, possesses the strength to defeat a legendary three-star knight.

If Cesil were to grow to the pinnacle of the Great Witch, who could possibly be her match? Could the entire empire, including its nobles and temples, must muster ten legendary peak knights to defeat Cesil?

Even if we could raise the money, could we afford the losses?

You should know that to the south of the empire, the Kolei Empire has been eyeing it covetously for a long time...

Even now, without considering the future, Cecil, who possesses the strength to defeat a legendary three-star knight, is already an extremely terrifying existence.

What worries the legendary knights even more is that after the Star Lake incident, the Moon Witch Cecilia disappeared without a trace.

The province of Rafa, which had previously garnered significant attention from the empire due to the conflict between the two countries, has attracted even more attention since this incident.

Everyone was waiting for the temple's response.

In this Star Lake incident, the presence of the Second Prince and the Border Duke's forces was very faint. Apart from those who were interested, most people didn't even know that the two sides were involved in this incident.

But temples are different.

With Sima's fall, if the temple hadn't refrained from taking drastic measures, many factions would likely have been deeply troubled.

As the empire's largest supernatural power, the Temple has offended an unimaginable number of forces over the years. Like a fierce tiger, when it is powerful, no one dares to provoke it, but once it shows signs of weakness, the wolves will rise up and attack it.

Just as things were getting turbulent, two uninvited guests arrived at the Blackrock Lord's mansion.

It was the daughter of the border duke, and Andrew, the legendary Flame Sword Knight who followed her.

The girl, dressed in crimson scale armor, raised her head, looked at the rather unimpressive mansion before her, and whispered, "Could this be it?"

(I'm going home tonight, I'll make it up to you with a big update tomorrow!)

Chapter 105 Fuma Soros, Daughter of the Border Duke (Seeking Moon)

ticket!)

"Young Miss, are you sure this is the place?"

At the entrance of Blackrock Mansion, Andrew, the legendary knight of the Flame Sword who stood like a giant bear with his sword raised, spoke with a hint of weakness in his voice.

For two whole days, ever since the night of the Fertility Festival when she explored the magic vein space at the bottom of Star Lake, the young lady has been moving back and forth between several territories around her. Apart from necessary meals, she has been searching for clues about the "A-level forbidden item - the Lost Ice Coffin" without sleep. Even though he knew about the young lady's special abilities, Andrew couldn't help but wonder - is the young lady just looking for something indiscriminately?

In his mind, the Moon Witch Cecilia had disappeared without a trace, and the "A-level forbidden object - the Lost Ice Coffin" that sealed her must have been taken away by her.

Such a terrifying being would most likely go overseas and return to its original witch guild; how could it possibly remain in a few small territories nearby?

Andrew had shared this idea with the young lady, but his advice had no effect whatsoever. She continued to travel between the nearby territories as she pleased.

Andrew, as her companion, had no choice but to follow the young lady around.

But now, the young lady has actually come to the Blackrock Lord's mansion?

This puzzled Andrew.

Could it be that the young lady thought the Moon Witch Cecilia would be hiding in a small lord's mansion?

He shook his head, knowing he couldn't stop the young lady, and stopped trying, instead quietly following along.

The gates of the Blackrock Lord's mansion were wide open, with two fully armed knights standing proudly on either side of the gate.

Seeing the two approaching the gate, the guard captain's gaze swept over their obviously high-level equipment, and he felt a chill run down his spine. He stepped forward and politely said:

"You two, please stop here. This is the Blackrock Lord's residence. May I ask what brings you here?"

If it were an ordinary person, the captain of the guard would have already shouted and chased them away. However, he felt a deep pressure from the man and woman and knew that they must be two powerful knights, so his attitude became very kind.

Andrew didn't speak, but simply raised his hand, and a token engraved with a dark gold "Bauhinia Sword" pattern was reflected in the guard captain's eyes.

"The Sword of the Purple Thorn?! You are a lord of the Crimson Knights?"

The guard captain's heart skipped a beat.

As is well known, the Crimson Knights belong to the Border Dukes. The fact that these two individuals possess tokens bearing the "Bauhinia Sword" emblem suggests that they are undoubtedly connected to the Crimson Knights.

As for whether the token is fake?

Well, the captain of the guard couldn't confirm that the token was genuine, but he also couldn't prove that it was fake.

In any case, all he needs to do is report the matter; as for the authenticity of the two people's identities, that's for the lord to decide for himself.

Straightening his posture, the captain of the guard pressed his right hand firmly against his chest and gave a knightly salute: "Please wait a moment, sir, I will go and report to him immediately."

Andrew nodded, and the girl who was standing half a step ahead of him also stopped and waited quietly.

Although the title of lord is not high, one is still a member of the nobility and should still observe basic etiquette.

Less than twenty seconds later, hurried footsteps approached from afar, and soon, led by the captain of the guard, a middle-aged man wearing silver armor and with a thick beard came out.

When Red saw the two people at the door from afar, his heart skipped a beat.
