Chapter 180:

"Looks like it's time to go to Fira's capital anyway. ”

Lowering his arm, Ron looked out the window at the lively town that had returned to normal.

I don't know if it's his delusion.

Although he smashed the mirror, Ron still felt that he still had the cold and strange aura left on his body just now.

It seems to be stained with a layer of greasy dust, and it has an unusually sticky feeling.

"Did the giant worm notice me?"

Squinting slightly, Ron groaned, then quickly picked up the things on the table, turned and left the room directly.

。。。。。。

Two months later.

A wilderness ice field located in the far north of the Forbidden Forest of Andas.

Under the dim sky, an icy cold wind mixed with fine snow particles blew the earth.

In the distance, as far as the eye could see, there was gray everywhere.

The mountains lay there like a terrifying beast connected from head to end.

At the foot of the mountains, on a crooked path, a huge black carriage drove slowly.

It was not an ordinary horse pulling the carriage, but two grizzly bears with thick fur.

The grizzly bear has a large and sturdy body, shaking its head from time to time and spewing out white heat, which makes it look extremely docile.

The heavy wagon ran over the snow, pulling out two deep marks and making a 'crunch' sound.

Inside the carriage, Ron, dressed in thick clothing, was in deep meditation with his eyes closed.

Subtle fluctuations of energy emanated from his body and submerged into his body, like breathing.

I don't know how long it took, feeling the effect of meditation wane, Ron slowly opened his eyes.

He looked thoughtfully at the attribute bar below his field of vision and the Raven's Eye on the back of his hand.

(Strength 28.5, Agility 19.8, Constitution 31.1, Intelligence 14, Spirit 16.) Status: Healthy)

"The spirit has reached 16, this growth rate, in addition to the previous absorption of the material on Virgil's body, seems to be the only one that can be explained. ”

Raven's Eye, Richard's Mark of the Covenant.

In addition to being able to make people become Raven Wizards, it now seems that they also have the ability to change their personal wizard qualifications to some extent.

Otherwise, it wouldn't make Ron, who had previously meditated extremely difficult, as easy as he is now.

However, Ron didn't feel any surprise in his heart about the change in wizarding qualifications.

After all, no matter how strong the power of being given by others is, it has no meaning.

And most importantly, Ron didn't want to be like Richard's tragic outcome in the end.

Of course, although the change in wizarding qualifications did not mean much to Ron, the increase in mental power made him feel that he had more precise control over his body.

The brain's thinking has also become more rational and flexible.

"I remember Richard once said that mental power can also be regarded as an external force of the soul, and if the physical power is too strong, it will strengthen people's desires and become more emotional, and if the mental power is too strong, they will become extremely rational and even lose personal feelings. ”

Ron recalled some of the words Richard had said to him earlier in the Forest of Blades.

"So, can my current state also be regarded as an outward manifestation of the soul fitting with the body!?"

Compared to two months ago, he is now much stronger.

Even though he was sitting motionless in the car now, Ron felt as if he was a giant heater inside him, emitting endless heat.

The polar cold outside is as cool as the summer breeze.

Of course, because of the leap in power, his control of power is still in a very weak period.

If you are not careful, you will use the wrong force and cause a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, because of the increase in mental power, the chance of this loss of control decreases every day.

Ron believed that in a few days he might be able to regain control of his physical power.

The carriage shook slightly from the snow, and I felt a slight cool breeze through the gaps in the carriage.

Ron moved his stiff neck and got up to pull the window.

'Whew...'

A large handful of cold wind mixed with wind and rain hit his cheeks directly.

Taking a deep breath of the cold wind, Ron looked at the vast white mountains in the distance.

According to the map he bought, after passing through this ice field, it is estimated that it will take more than ten days to reach the capital of Fira.

As for the giant worm that was seen through Virgil's memories two months ago.

Although the sticky feeling on his body is still there, there have been no strange incidents during this time.

It seems that the other party has forgotten him.

"Maybe it's something you're afraid of. Ron guessed casually.

You know, judging from the previous signs, the blood of the witch is exactly like the nemesis of these ancient gods, or the devourer.

The blood of witches grows rapidly by devouring the souls of ancient gods.

And Ron can vaguely see from the words of ancient historical documents that the blood of witches is also in the same era as many ancient gods.

This kind of relationship is very interesting for him.

Thinking of this, Ron pulled out a historical document from the back of the carriage with a heavily yellowed cover.

This is a book he has collected specifically about the history of documenting the Stoutt Empire. (An ancient empire that used witches' blood as a sacred relic)

Quickly flipped through it and found one of the passages he had marked.

"Throughout the Standt Empire, all the powerful people who have been recorded as powerful have been involved with the ancient gods to a greater or lesser extent. ”

Ron frowned slightly as he looked at the lifespans of these people recorded above.

"It's just... According to records, these powerful people generally appeared for a very short time, and it took only three or four years to go crazy and die for various reasons, and now I think they must have been invaded by the mysterious woman in the blood of the witch. ”

A long time had passed, but Ron still remembered the scarlet meadow and the horrible woman with long black hair.

"If I hadn't happened to meet Richard, maybe I would have been completely devoured by that witch like those people in this historical document, but... Fortunately, in the end, the sequelae of the witch's blood have been resolved, and I don't know why the power of the witch's blood was absorbed by me. ”

However, at the thought of the unknown reason, Ron fell silent.

When he was in Xingchen Huzhong, he first came into contact with the danger of the Mother of Illusions, and he felt it first-hand.

But how he survived that danger after that, and how the ability of the witch's blood was directly absorbed by him later, he didn't know.

"Maybe something else happened to me at the time, and it was something very important to me. ”

Just as Ron wondered what had happened to that missing memory.

In the dim sky, there was a sudden burst of piercing roars.

Then several huge blue-gray figures quickly appeared in Ron's field of vision.
