Chapter 35: Is There a Possibility?
Charlotte took out a Heart Source Crystal from her bag and handed it to Ellis: "Tonight, without your help, I wouldn't be able to get these things, this one is what you deserve." β
Ellis raised his hand and pushed the crystals back.
"We don't want these things."
"Have you already saved up enough ranking points?" Charlotte frowned, the heart source crystallization is such a valuable talent point material, there are still people with abilities who don't want it.
"The purpose of my contract with Miss Jia Na is not to participate in the witch ranking, we are both irreplaceable lovers in each other's hearts. Especially after experiencing today's danger, we are more certain that I can live happily with her every day, I am satisfied, and I guess I will not participate in such poaching in the future. β
At this time, the playfulness on Ilya's face also disappeared, and she looked at Jana seriously:
"Miss Jana, didn't you explain to Mr. Ellis the rules for the ranking of witches, especially regarding the risk of elimination? The Witch Council has trained us to explain all the rules in detail. β
Jana's face looked embarrassed, and Ellis stood in front of her:
"Don't embarrass Jana, she told me everything, but we discussed it. We've never heard of a fallen demon or witch exposed to the wilderness due to a shortage of magic curbing elixirs, at least in Frank's Realm, there are no such sightings, have we? β
Charlotte was silent for a moment, since she was a child, he really hadn't heard of it.
"I don't know how long the history of witch rankings has passed, not to mention hundreds of thousands of years. Isn't it strange that there are a huge number of attendees every year, but there have never been sightings of the remains of the fallen demons that have been eliminated throughout the kingdom?
Is it possible, I mean probably, that the so-called Elixir is just a lie, a shackle that forces us all to kill each other. Perhaps, there are already many demon degenerates who have understood this rule and lived a happy life in seclusion with witches. β
Charlotte and Elijah glanced at each other, an angle they hadn't really considered before.
"So, Jana and I decided to go against this set of rules, and we decided to go into seclusion deep in the mountains and forests far from the world, and we would build an exquisite log cabin, and then give birth to our healthy and lively baby, where we will spend the rest of our lives."
With that, he looked at Jana with tender eyes, and Jana shyly stroked her lower abdomen with her hand.
This...... This makes the witch pregnant?
Charlotte looked at Ellis with admiration, although he didn't quite know whether a human and a witch were married and born, and whether they gave birth to a human race or a demon race.
But after thinking about it again and again, he continued to kindly remind:
"But I need to remind Mr. Ellis that I don't think the rules of the Witch Council are child's play, as we've seen the Fallen Seed in the Illusory Glass Realm before......"
As a result, he was interrupted by Ellis in the middle of his speech.
"Enough, Mr. Faceless! I...... I only believe what I see with my own eyes. β
He suddenly became emotional, hugged his head and said:
"Mr. Faceless, stop trying to convince me...... Don't you think the world is wrong? War, plague, hunger, we have so many problems that need to be solved, but we are still framing each other and killing each other. I spent the first half of my life in this environment.
Jana can be said to be the best gift that fate has given me, but even this gift is shackled by the cruelest rules...... I don't want it, I don't want it to be ...... like this."
Ellis couldn't hold back any longer, and began to cry.
Jana crouched down, held Ellis's head in her arms, and gently patted the other person's back to soothe her, like a mother comforting her child.
She looked up at Charlotte, her eyes full of determination:
"You don't need to persuade us anymore, we have made up our minds, even if the final outcome is destruction, we will face it calmly."
Charlotte was silent for a moment, then took out 25 silver coins from her bag and handed them over.
"You have to build a hut and raise a baby, and it costs money. Don't shirk the money, the reason why you came to poach today is also to save up for settling-in expenses, right? β
"Sorry...... Thank you ......."
Ellis wiped his face, accepted the money, and after the two bowed to Charlotte in good-bye, they helped each other and disappeared at the end of the Pam Meadow.
Ilya looked in the direction where the two had disappeared and muttered:
"Mr. Charlotte, what if what they say is true?"
Charlotte turned her head to look at the girl's side face, which looked different and delicate against the background of the moonlight.
"Even if their guesses are all correct, but there is only a 1 in 10,000 probability that the rules of the witch ranking are true, I will not take the risk of making this bet."
A voice in his heart told him that no matter what, he had to protect everything in front of him.
β¦β¦
As the east began to turn white, Charlotte and Elijah crept home through the window.
Now that he has obtained two Heart Source Crystals, he decides to awaken Ilya and Tori's talents first.
According to his previous experience of playing similar games, as a demon faller, the marginal benefit of cultivating a witch is definitely greater than cultivating himself.
It's as if it's much more cost-effective to develop PokΓ©mon's punch resistance than to train a trainer's ability to resist hits.
He opened the culture interface and first used the Heart Crystals on Ilya, and soon the identification results appeared.
"Activate Talent [Judgment Melody Lv. 1]"
Conviction Melody: When using the Judgment of Judgment, the notes of the conviction melody will be planted in the opponent's soul, which can be stacked up to three times, and each additional layer of this effect will deepen the target's fear effect at the soul level, causing the opponent to lose their fighting spirit.
Seeing this talent, Charlotte felt that it was not bad, especially against high-defense enemies with rough skin and thick flesh, and the attack at the soul level would definitely be more effective.
Charlotte then opens Tory's cultivation interface and uses HeartSource Crystals again.
"Activate Talent [Devour Piercing Lv1]"
Biting Pain: When using your right arm to perform a normal bite attack on an enemy, there is a chance to reduce the opponent's physical defense and increase the physical penetration of all your teammates.
It seems that the talents unlocked by these two witches are very suitable for attacking.
Recalling the cooperation in the battle just now, Charlotte sighed irreverently:
"If the demon degenerates don't do anything, looking for witches' cocoons everywhere every day to subdue wild witches, will they soon be able to control tens of thousands of witches at the same time?"
"It's that simple, there is a limit to the number of witches that a demon degenerate can control at the same time, and it is related to the rank he is in. For example, if you are now in the Cocoon Breaking rank, then you can only command two witches at the same time, and if you oversummon witches, then your mental power will collapse. β
