"The mana keeps rising?"

Led by Vivien, all the girls looked at Merika with surprise in their eyes.

"Yes." Merika herself seemed to be equally surprised by this phenomenon, both puzzled and uneasy, and said softly: "I don't know what's wrong, at first I thought it was a delusion, but with the battle in the past few days, I always feel that my magic power has indeed improved." ”

The proof is that when Merika was crusading against the ogre just now, the magic she released was much more powerful than before.

Because her own magic power has increased, the magic power that Merika can instill when she uses magic has also increased, and the result is that the power of magic has skyrocketed.

But obviously it hasn't been upgraded, so why does the magic suddenly increase?

Merika was puzzled by this.

Vivien and the others also began to pay attention.

"Generally speaking, the growth of abilities such as magic usually increases with the level increases, or through the acquisition of skills to obtain more magic power, or because of external factors, such as taking magic potions that can increase magic power or using treasures." Vivien turned to Melika and asked, "Merica, have you learned new skills or used any treasures and potions?" ”

"No... No, I don't. Merika shook her head and hurriedly said, "If there is, I won't feel strange myself." ”

Indeed, what even Vivien knew, it was impossible for Merika, an elven mage, not to know about it.

If Merica didn't perceive the problem in the slightest, it proved that, at the very least, the increase in magic power was inconsistent with the usual conceivable reasons.

"That's... Melika—" Lumia also became a little worried, and said, "Do you feel anything uncomfortable?" ”

"Yes, if there is an abnormality in the body that affects the flow of life force, then it is not surprising that the magic transformed from life force will appear." Vivian said seriously, "Merica, do you feel anything abnormal on your body?" No matter how small the anomaly, you think about it. ”

"Uhhhhhhhhhh

Vivien and Lumia both looked at Merika, not urging her, waiting for her to remember.

But Sheen, who hadn't spoken since the beginning, waited quietly behind her, staring at Merica with a twinkle in her eyes.

Then...

"Do you have any thoughts on Merica's condition?"

A voice came from the side, bringing Sheen back to his senses.

Sheen realized that he didn't know when, Thier had come to his side.

"Say it." Thiel didn't look at Sheehan, but said, "What do you think?" ”

"Thoughts... Is it? Sheen scratched his cheek and said, "It's not an idea, it's just that I noticed something." ”

"What's the matter?" Thierle asked bluntly.

Sheehan turned her gaze back to Merika and narrowed her eyes.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, Sheehan noticed that there were some abnormalities in Merika's body.

Because of the reaction of the [Magic Perception] skill.

"You shouldn't have noticed, right?" Sheen was like this, and whispered, "Now, around Merika, there has always been a very faint magic that continues to linger, and even flows into her body. ”

"What?" Tiyeer suddenly frowned, and said in surprise: "You mean, the reason why Merika's magic power suddenly increased is most likely because of the relationship that has been infused with weak magic into her body?" ”

"I can't guarantee that." Sheen shook his head and said, "It's just that if you ask me what I have to do, then that's the only thing I've found." ”

Hearing this, Thierle maintained a frowning posture and remained silent.

After a moment, Thierle spoke.

"Merica is an elf, and elves are beings born from nature, if there is really magic that has been hovering around her, or even injected into her, then it is not a strange thing that Merica's magic power has been improved." Tiyeer said lightly: "In other words, this situation is essentially the same as the existence form of the source of magic power. ”

"A source of magic?" Sheen was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Are you saying that those magic powers are the magic of the world itself flowing in the atmosphere?" ”

The source of magic is formed because the magic power of the world is gathered in one place in large quantities, so that the magic power is essentially transformed into spring water.

As a spirit born from nature, Merika is close to nature and the world, so it is not surprising that if the magic in the atmosphere flows into her body, she, as a spirit of nature, will absorb these magic and thus grow.

"The question is why the magic of the world itself is suddenly gathering around Merika."

Thierle had the only remaining doubt.

At this moment, even Sheehan frowned and fell silent.

Sheen didn't notice it, and at this time, Merika was casting her eyes on him without a trace.

Looking at Sheehan, who was lost in thought, Merika's eyes fluctuated.

If there is anything abnormal in her body these days, Melica can only think of one.

And, that's all about Sheehan.

(Since that night, I have always felt that Mr. Sheehan has become more and more intimate to me...) ）

This made Melika's wariness of Sheen fade little by little.

Previously, Merica would agree to keep Sheen by her side so that she wouldn't be left alone, and that's why.

To this day, Merica sometimes unconsciously wants to get close to Sheen, and her eyes often turn uncontrollably to Sheen's body, and even once Lumia told her that when she was sleeping, she used to unconsciously read Sheen's name, which made her ashamed.

(How did I end up like this?) ）

Merika was distressed by this, and her hand subconsciously touched her clothes.

Inside, the wreath that Sheehan had given Merica was lying quietly, unnoticed by anyone.

Then, even Sheen himself didn't notice that the magic that hovered around Merika's body was actually aimed at this wreath, but after approaching the wreath, Merica, who was a natural elf, absorbed it.

(Ugh, I always feel like I'm less and less like me.) ）

Merika, who didn't know this, cried in her heart.

Eventually, Merica didn't choose to say anything about the anomaly, instead claiming that she didn't feel anything.

As a result, this question naturally goes unanswered.

In desperation, everyone could only give up the investigation and continue to clean up the battlefield.

It didn't take long for the escort team to set off again.

At present, they have entered the Duchy of Phidinis, and they are close to the royal capital.

It's just that some people are also chasing them like this, and the distance is not far away.
