"Whew...... Suck ......"

The sound of breathing in a unique rhythm gradually awakened the hazy consciousness of Ace, the witch of ice.

She opened her eyes slowly, and the soft candlelight of the dim candle flowed into her pale silver pupils that were out of focus.

The familiar ceiling came into view, and she looked ahead in a daze, unable to recover for a while.

I don't know when the futon that was covered by someone came with an indescribable warmth, which made Ace feel that everything she had experienced before was just an illusion—the deep cold that penetrated her body and pierced her soul seemed to be just a dream.

But the bloodline ice sword suspended in the depths of her consciousness really told her that what she experienced when she was asleep was true.

Her eyes gradually condensed, and her divergent thoughts began to converge, and following the source of the breathing sound, Ace turned her head and looked at the bedside.

I saw that on the ground not far away, there was a black-haired and brown-eyed young man dressed in a gorgeous costume, who was sitting cross-legged and practicing the breathing method.

The not-so-bright candlelight reflected on the side of his face, making his face look a little dappled with light and shadow, but the familiar outline calmed Ace's heart, which had been a little fluctuating due to the evolution of her talent.

Roy......

Looking at the handsome-faced young man not far away, Ace subconsciously murmured in her heart.

I don't know when she saw Roy, whether it was the front face, the side face, or even the back, she would feel inexplicably at ease.

When did this feeling begin?

She herself doesn't know.

Maybe it's Roy's calm look when they meet for the second time, or Roy's attentive and serious eyes when he removes her pollution, or the tenderness in Roy's eyes when he looks at the witches......

At this time, Roy, who was not far away, seemed to feel something, and the breathing between his mouth and nose began to slow down, and then stopped.

He opened his eyes and met the pale silver eyes of Ace, the Ice Witch.

With a flash of joy on his face, Roy quickly got up from the ground: "Miss Ace, it's great that you're awake." ”

"How long has it been, Roy."

Ace, who coveted the warmth of the futon, did not get up immediately, but continued to wrap herself in the futon, looking sideways at Roy who was approaching, there was no expression on her cold face, but the curvature of her eyebrows and eyes became much softer unconsciously.

"Three hours, much faster than expected."

Glancing at the pendulum clock beside him, Roy replied.

This time was beyond his expectations, he had thought that it would take longer for the stronger Ace talent to evolve, but he didn't expect it to be shorter.

"Three hours ......"

Ace's eyes moved slightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that she would miss the Fengyang Festival when she woke up.

"Miss Ace, how are you feeling, is there anything wrong with you, do you need Shanica to help you take a look?"

Looking at Ace, the Ice Witch who was still wrapped in the quilt, Roy said with concern.

Shaking her head slightly, Ace propped herself up: "I'm fine, I'm in good shape, don't bother Miss Shanica." ”

The soft futon slipped off with Ace's movements, revealing a long purple skirt that fit her delicate body inside, perhaps because her hips and legs pressed the skirt harder, and the skirt part of her upper body was very tight. Because of the deformation of her clothes, a large area of crystal white skin under her neck was revealed, and the looming deep ravines made people have a strong urge to explore.

Roy paused as he walked forward, his eyes were a little embarrassed, and Ace, who was slightly cool in front of him, also realized something, and her hand on the bed stiffened.

She quietly lifted her thighs, allowing the pressed dress to relax, and the bounced hem of the dress covered the whiteness in front of her, and her tense body relaxed.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ace tidying up her clothes, and Roy turned his head casually and asked curiously, "Miss Ace, has there been any change in your talent since it evolved?" ”

Lilia, the Shadow Witch, has evolved her talent to gain a stronger grip on shadows, and at the same time, she has gained the powerful ability to contract and summon shadow creatures.

And Lilia, the ice witch who is already extremely strong, what kind of unique abilities will she have after her talent evolves? Roy is looking forward to it.

"Change ......"

Ace lifted the futon and stepped out of bed, to the center of the room.

She closed her eyes, and the bloodline ice sword that was quietly suspended in the depths of her consciousness was like a light in the darkness and a lighthouse in the storm, showing her sense of existence to the fullest.

After calming down, Ace finally "saw" the countless blood-colored threads that spread from the bloodline ice sword as a starting point.

These blood-colored threads fit with every vein in her body, forming an incomparably vast network, and with every breath she takes, blood-colored light particles emerge from these blood-colored threads and merge into all parts of her body.

Ace could feel that some subtle changes were undergoing in her body under the action of these blood-colored light particles, and this change was undoubtedly positive and beneficial.

Staring at the bloodline ice sword in the depths of her consciousness, a realization suddenly appeared in Ace's heart.

- I can pull out this bloodline ice sword.

The realization came suddenly, but Ace knew that it was not her delusion.

Following the guidance of her inner instinct, Ace raised her hand, and her arm was in a vertical position with her body.

Outside, Roy, who was staring at the Ice Witch Ace, suddenly felt that the temperature around him began to drop sharply, and the temperature that was already in the single digits was left directly below zero at this moment.

How many degrees below zero, Roy is not a thermometer, so he can't know, but the breath exhaled from his nose cooled rapidly in front of him, and then turned into ice slag and fell to the ground.

And the whole hidden place is also covered with a thin layer of frost, and the frost is gradually thickening over time.

The terrifying chill eroded the body, and as a last resort, Roy could only mobilize the fighting qi in his body and enter the state of "fighting qi explosion", using the fighting qi to resist the cold.

It's cold......

But even so, Roy could still feel the chill in his body getting worse.

His fighting spirit could not completely resist this level of extreme cold.

Taking a few quick steps back and distancing himself from Ace, Roy felt the chill on his body subside slightly.

Suddenly, Roy was drawn to the attention of a blood-red reflection in his eyes.

He looked intently, and what caught his eye was an ice crystal long sword with a blood line in the center of the sword body.

The root cause of the sudden drop in temperature here is this blood-line ice sword that constantly escapes from the cold current!

Is this the new ability that Ace has gained after her talent has evolved?!

Shock welled up in Roy's mind.

Just the cold snap that escapes when it appears causes the surrounding temperature to plummet, and it's hard to imagine what kind of power it must be when it really kicks in.

At this time, Ace slowly opened her eyes.

Roy could clearly see that Ace's pale silver pupils had turned into a brilliant blue at this moment.

Noticing the sudden changes in the surrounding environment, especially Roy, who was still shivering with a faint white fighting aura all over his body, Ace's face changed, and the bloodline ice sword in his hand dispersed.

Without the source of refrigeration, coupled with Ace's control, the temperature in the hidden place quickly increased, and soon, it returned to above freezing.

"Hoo ......"

Roy exhaled deeply: "Miss Ace, your ability seems to have become stronger, what was the blood sword just now?" ”

"I got it from within the Talent Evolution Space." After seeing that Roy was okay, Ace breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain:

"My talent evolution space is different from Miss Lilia's, it's a world made of ice and snow."

"Talent evolution requires me to climb an upside-down pure white Iceland, and to climb pure white Iceland, I have to step on the ninety-nine ice crystal stairs."

"Every nine floors of these stairs, there is a blood line ice sword inserted into it, and the further back you go, the higher the proportion of blood color."

"My strength is only barely holding on to the ninth layer, and I can't continue."

"After pulling out the first bloodline ice sword, I tried the tenth layer, but it ......"

Speaking of this, Ace shook her head.

"That's ...... so"

A look of amazement crossed Roy's face.

Comparing the performance of the Shadow Witch in the talent evolution space, it can be seen that there is a huge gap between Lilia and Ace in terms of strength.

In the shadow talent space, Lilia couldn't even resist the pressure of the first ladder, and could only bite off a piece of the ladder before her body was crushed, so as to complete the evolution of her talent.

And what about Ace?

She climbed directly to the ninth step and pulled out the bloodline ice sword inserted on it, completing her promotion.

Although in the final result, both witches have completed the evolution of their talents, even fools can see the difference between these two promotion methods.

There is no doubt that Ace, the Ice Witch, has evolved her talent more thoroughly and improved even more!

"Your talent, are there any other changes?" Looking at Ace in front of him, Roy was curious.

Hearing this, Ace shook her head slightly: "The main change is in this bloodline ice sword, it seems to be transforming my body to make it more affinity for the ice element, and the rest, there is no more." ”

"Is that so......" Roy nodded thoughtfully.

Unlike the Shadow Witch Lilia, who directly has an extra ability, Ice Witch Ace has a greater increase in her control over the ice element.

This is not a bad thing, on the contrary, a good thing.

The purer and more powerful most things are.

When the control of the ice elemental reaches a certain limit, it will be incomparably terrifying and powerful.

In his previous life, when he was in Bluestar, Roy had heard of the concept of "absolute zero".

It was a "life exclusion zone" of minus 273.15 degrees Celsius, a temperature that was theoretically impossible to reach.

At such extremely low temperatures, even the molecules and atoms that make up matter will stop moving.

To some extent, time stands still in the area under the shadow of "absolute zero".

In this world of magic and miracles, the theoretically unattainable "absolute zero", with the evolution of Ace's talent and the improvement of her strength, may really be achieved one day.

Roy was looking forward to it.

At present, Ace is naturally far from being able to achieve "absolute zero", but after the evolution of her talent, her strength has undoubtedly improved tremendously.

Because of the lack of references, Roy couldn't estimate the extent of Ace's strength, but it was certain that the Golden Knight, who was not her opponent in the first place, was not her opponent at the moment.

"Miss Ace, do you feel that you are now the one who has won the Golden Two-Star Blood Fortress Robert?"

Roy asked expectantly.

He knew very well that similar to the Bronze Rank, there was a huge gap between each star of the Gold Rank.

Three stars are completely different from one star.

The Golden Knight that the "Crown Witch" can crush refers to the knight of the Golden One Star, not the entire Golden Rank.

Faced with Roy's question, Ace didn't answer directly, and thought for a long time before she spoke: "If it is before the talent evolves, expand the 'crown realm', I am sure that I will not lose." ”

"As for now, what you should be asking is how many seconds will Bloody Fortress Robert hold out under me."

Ace's eyes were calm when she said the last sentence, but Roy could feel absolute confidence in it.

Original Sin Trait, Arrogance......

He couldn't help but think of this in his mind.

Shaking his head and suppressing the thoughts in his head for the time being, Roy's face showed joy: "Great, in this way, our next actions will have greater security." ”

"Miss Ace, you have just completed the evolution of your talent, and you must need to rest and adapt, so I won't bother you for now."

"By the way, this is for you."

As he spoke, Roy opened the storage space of the [Original Sin Cube] and took out a white conch from it.

"This is the 'Conch of Sound', through this, we can transmit sound to each other within 100 kilometers, and then the action has it, and it is more convenient to communicate."

"It's a pity that I only have a pair in my hand."

Roy handed a conch to Ace and shook the other one he was holding.

"How do I use this thing?" Hearing the words "only a pair", Ace's pale silver eyes moved slightly, and she reached out to take the conch and asked.

"It's very simple, you only need to gently tap the bottom of the conch of sound transmission, and the conch on the other side will send out a slight vibration to warn, and the receiver only needs to tap the bottom of the conch of sound transmission to realize the message answer."

Roy introduced.

To be honest, he was not very satisfied with the effect of this strange object.

When he first got this thing, he thought that it could communicate in real time like the phone in his previous life, but after using it, he realized that this thing must be finished on one side and answered on the other side before it can transmit voice again.

It's nowhere near as convenient to use as a phone.

"Such a magical thing......" Unlike Roy, after listening to the introduction, Ace looked at the transsonic conch in her hand, and her eyes lit up slightly.

She knows very well how important it is to get information across.

The information transmission speed of the Glow Empire is very slow, and birds with the blood of Warcraft are generally used as messengers, and more luxurious, they directly use domesticated birds and Warcraft as messengers.

But no matter how fast the bird flies, within the range of 100 kilometers, it is impossible to transmit sound as fast as a conch.

The rapid transmission of information can sometimes even determine the outcome of a battle!

"I'll take care of it." Ace put away the conch of sound transmission solemnly.

Regardless of the unique role of the Transsonic Conch, the fact that the Transsonic Conch is the only one among the witches and the "unique thing" between her and Roy makes her extremely cherished.

Roy nodded at Ace, the Ice Witch, before turning away without further words.

As for the portal to the Hidden Place, he didn't close it, but kept it open, so that Ace could come out at any time.

The pale silver eyes reflected the scene of Roy's back being completely engulfed by the portal, and it was not until after Roy left that Ace lowered her head and stared at the white conch held in her right hand.

"Roy ......"

It was difficult to hear the sound of emotions echoing in the small hidden place, and the candle flame on the desk beat a few times, like a girl's mood, fluctuating.
