The sunlight slanting in from the window dappled and brightened Roy and Ace, the Ice Witch, who sat on either side of the desk.

Poured a cup of brewed black tea for Ace, pushed it in front of her, and under her cold gaze, Roy organized his words and said slowly:

"Miss Ace, this time I invite you into the room to discuss in detail, mainly because I want to ask you for one thing."

Without waiting for Ace to ask, he quickly added:

"I found traces of a high-risk magical item under the middle of the Star Lake."

"But it's too dangerous there, and there's a danger that even the Golden Knight might die."

"But this magic item is too important."

"So I'd like to ask you to dig deeper."

"Of course, just to be on the safe side, before you go on an exploration of Star Lake, I will give you one thing to help you break through the 'crown position'."

"This is it."

As he spoke, Roy took out the crystal box from the storage space, opened it, and showed it to Ace, the Ice Witch.

"This is, High Purity Magic Crystal? You really have it? ”

Ace's cold eyes fluctuated, like ripples on the surface of a calm lake. The pictures circulating in the black market before, she thought they were made by special means, but she didn't expect it to be true?

"Uh...... This high-purity magic crystal was obtained from Lord Denham's treasure vault, and it came from Lord Denham's transaction with the second prince of the empire. ”

Seeing Ace's doubts, Roy explained, and then, he roughly told Ace about the information of the second prince's plot against the Black Stone Territory, and finally asked sincerely:

"Miss Ace, as you can see, the current Blackstone Collar seems to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent, we must obtain the magic item under the Star Lake, so that we can grasp the initiative."

Ice Witch Ace fell silent.

The crystal box, on the red cloth, the crystal surface of the dark purple high-purity magic crystal reflects the brilliant brilliance, and also reflects the clear figure of Ace.

"Crown......

"I agreed to your request."

"There are high-purity magic crystals as a reward, and this matter is not counted among the three things agreed upon."

"But there's a catch."

"My current pollution is very serious, even if the high-purity magic crystal has the effect of diluting the pollution, if you want to break through, at least reduce the pollution to less than 40%."

"This can't be done with high-purity magic crystals alone."

Hearing this, Roy nodded seriously: "Regarding this, I have expected it, you can rest assured, in the process of your breakthrough, I will be by your side throughout the whole process to ensure that your pollution level is below 40%." ”

"In fact, if the time is too urgent, it is safest for you to make a breakthrough without completely removing the pollution."

"It's a pity that time waits for no ......"

"It's okay, that's enough." Ice Witch Ace shook her head slightly: "I'll adjust my state and start breaking through at 0:00 tonight, as for the breakthrough location......"

"It's in the hidden place in the treasure room." Roy said: "It's very safe there, and after the door is closed, no one can get in without the right way." ”

"Yes." Ess Jade tapped her jaw.

"By the way, Miss Ace, I've always had a question for you." At this time, Roy suddenly remembered something and said:

"Not to mention the difference in talent, I found that the total amount of magic power of each witch is not the same, and what is the reason for the difference in the total amount of magic power between witches? Age? Or something else? ”

For Roy's question, Ice Witch Ace did not answer immediately, but lowered her head and thought for a while before raising her head and looking at Roy with her pale silver eyes with black silk flowing:

"Individual differences."

"Just as there are differences in the adaptability of the knight's body to the fighting spirit, the adaptability of the witch to the magic power also has individual differences."

"When the witches first awaken their talents, the upper limit of the magic power they receive is different."

"Take myself as an example, when I first awakened my talent, the total amount of mana was already 90% of what it is now, and in the past few years, it has only increased by less than 10%, which is very small, and the natural growth rate is slower and slower year by year."

"The witch's greater progress as she grows older is still in the use and development of her talents."

"Age does have an effect on the amount of witch mana, the longer the awakening, the more total mana, but there is a threshold for this growth, and it generally never exceeds 120% of the time of awakening."

"From another point of view, it can also be understood that the total amount of magic power of the witch is constant when it awakens without the intervention of external forces, and then the magic power that seems to increase with age is actually just the magic power that will be suppressed slowly released."

"That's why we're so hungry for high-purity magic crystals."

"The pure natural magic in the high-purity magic crystal can help us break our own shackles."

After a long absence, Ace, the Ice Witch, said a lot of words, and the content of these words also made Roy fall into deep thought.

Witches, like knights, have individual differences in their adaptation to magic?

And unlike the knight, the total amount of magic power of the witch has been solidified at the beginning of the awakening.

This made Roy very incomprehensible - the knight's fighting spirit can grow with his cultivation, why does the witch's magic power solidify?

It is true that even the weakest witch has the physique and magic of the silver rank as well as her own natural ability as soon as she wakes up. However, the knight can only slowly practice from apprenticeship, formal, bronze, and silver through the practice of breathing method, and in the case of the same energy level, because of the quality gap between the fighting spirit and the magic power, the knight is often not the opponent of the witch.

However, since the Dou Qi formed by the fusion of magic particles and life force can grow in the knight's body, and the natural magic power can increase the total amount of the witch's magic power, it means that the energy of magic power can be increased in the witch's body.

But the reality is that the total amount of witch's magic power is solidified throughout her life without the intervention of external forces.

So, what is the reason for this phenomenon?

If he can figure out the reason, he will be able to better help the witches improve their strength.

While Roy was still thinking, Ace, who had answered Roy's doubts, had already stood up: "I'll go see Yelena, and I'll come back to you when I'm in a better state later." ”

"Okay."

In response subconsciously, Roy watched the Ice Witch Ace leave with a little sloppy eyes, and he didn't withdraw his gaze until the slender and perfect body disappeared around the corner.

After thinking about it for a long time, but still without results, Roy was ready to practice the breathing method.

Although his current strength is very different from that of many witches, even the fox-eared witch Elena with the weakest total magic power, he always believes that only the power that truly belongs to him is the most reassuring.

Although the cultivation of Dou Qi is far less than the magic power of a witch that can be achieved overnight, it is better to be stable and safe.

Compared with other knights, he already has unique conditions, so he naturally cannot be slack.

But just as he was about to start practicing, his ears moved slightly, and he heard footsteps coming briskly from outside the courtyard.
