Secluded, deep, like a dead lake.

Fuma felt herself fall into a viscous mud, falling at a slow but unstoppable pace.

After some time, she felt a lightness in her body, and then a little starlight appeared in front of her eyes, and the light became brighter and brighter, piercing the darkness that seemed to be eternal.

"Here?"

Fuma's eyes widened as she surveyed her surroundings with a look of shock in her eyes.

A brilliant glow appeared in her eyes, it was a suspended and rotating star, and the place where she stood was also a star, but the color was crimson compared to the stars around her.

Upon closer inspection, Fuma saw that among these countless rotating stars, there were silver filaments connected to each other, forming an invisible vein.

Between the flow of silver light, countless pictures appeared in front of Fuma's eyes, and all the way forward, bifurcating and evolving, I don't know how long it took, and finally fixed into a fixed picture.

In the next moment, a cluster of light emitting a hazy starlight flew out of the scroll and shot into Fuma's eyebrows.

……

A burning fireplace dispels the cold of winter.

On the warm bed, the pale cyan light on Roy's body converged and retreated.

Shanica withdrew her hand and looked at Roy, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed, with a distressed look in her eyes.

In the past two days, she has needed a deep "healing" of Roy almost every ten minutes, such a high frequency of treatment, even if she has reached the crown position, she feels tired, but compared to her own tiredness, Shanica is more worried about Roy's condition.

She didn't know what Roy meant by "the perfection of the fighting spirit system", but even if there was her healing, Roy's body would not be injured, but every time he was injured, his body would hurt......

"Young Master Roy......" Shanica pursed her lips.

Sensuality made her want to persuade Roy to stop this "self-harming" action, but reason told her that Roy must have his own reasons for doing so, and as the young master's "head maid", what she needs to do is to support him silently behind his back.

In the end, Shanica chose to remain silent.

On the other side, Roy, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.

He lowered his head and looked at his hands, and his perception "saw" the brilliant rune engraved on his left arm through his flesh and blood.

"Finally, it worked!"

A strong sense of joy welled up in my heart.

After more than two days and hundreds of fine-tuning, Roy finally used his fighting spirit to successfully copy the "Charged Slash" rune and engraved it on his left arm.

Taking a deep breath, he did the same, imprinting the same runes on his right arm, left leg, right leg, and heart.

And at the moment when the five "Charged Slash" runes were completed, a silent resonance was generated.

Roy could feel a magical power flowing through his body.

- Low-level Specialty: Charged Slash, achieved!

He got up and rushed out of the room, came to the small courtyard where the snow was falling, pulled out the long knife on the weapon rack next to him with his backhand, and quickly slashed out.

"Thorn-"

The air was wailing, and the fierce sword wind caused the snow to roll up on the ground of the entire small courtyard.

It was just an ordinary vertical slash, but it erupted with extremely amazing destructive power.

With a slash, Roy could feel that the strange power circulating between the five runes in his body had slowed down and become weak, but as time passed, it was becoming stronger again.

A minute later, it was back to its peak.

"Do you charge once a minute?"

Roy muttered to himself, his eyes full of joy.

On the one hand, he was pleasantly surprised by the effect of the low-level specialty Charge Slash, which could be used once a minute for nothing, increasing his attack power by at least 30%.

On the other hand, the success of the Charge Slash shows the various specialties of the Demon Mark System, and after the Dou Qi System has been modified, it is indeed true that it can be obtained. With this success, it will only take less and less time to make changes to other specialties in the future.

After all, what Roy did was not to create a rune out of thin air, but to fine-tune the original rune.

Throwing it casually, the standard long knife in his hand was accurately sent into the weapon rack, Roy stood in the small courtyard and thought, letting the snowflakes fall on his body, and did not pay attention to it.

After gaining the low-level specialty Charge Slash, Roy felt a "burden".

Although this "burden" is very small for him, it is real.

After thinking about it for a while, he understood the origin of this "burden".

Each feat, or rune corresponding to the feat, will have a certain burden on the human body when it is engraved on the human body, which is why the Strep system can only obtain the specialty at the corresponding level.

Assuming that the burden of each rune is 1, then the total burden of the Charged Slash composed of five runes on the human body is 5, and the maximum burden of the "Starlight Paladin" increases by 2 for each level of promotion, and when it reaches the third level, the total burden is capped at 6, which can afford the existence of the "Charged Slash" specialty.

Roy estimated that his burden limit was around 78.

In this way, in the Bronze Stage, the upper limit of the burden per star is 6, and the final peak is 2.

In the Silver phase, the maximum burden per star is 9, and the final peak is 3.

In the Golden Stage, the upper limit of the burden per star is 12, and the final peak is 4.

This seems to be a bit difficult to calculate, but if you subdivide each level of the knight, each star is regarded as level 3, three stars are level 9, and the final peak is a separate level 1, so that it can be compared to the magic mark system, each level is 10 levels.

Bronze rank, each level, increases the burden limit by 2 points, silver is 3 points, and gold is 4 points.

Roy, who cultivated the dual trait of [Burst Flame] and [Extreme Bloom] Flame Breath, has reached the level of the top inheritance of the Demon Mark System in terms of the increase in the upper limit of the burden.

Oh, it's worth mentioning that after this period of breathing method cultivation, Roy's fighting qi has reached the level of the first golden three-star level.

In the "Seventh Realm of Original Sin: Realm of Lust", the biggest difference between the hidden profession and the normal profession lies in the difference in the increase in the upper limit of the burden per level and the combination of specializations.

Roy estimated that even a knight who practiced the special breathing method, as long as he did not reach the level of the dual characteristics of Flame Breath, the upper limit of the burden brought by the increase in strength was estimated to be only 1 point per level for bronze, 2 points per level for silver, and 3 points per level for gold.

As for those who practice advanced breathing, it's even lower.

It's not hard to understand that the dual trait of Flame Breath can be compared to the top hidden class.

With the witch as the highest echelon, the breath of fire, which has reached the triple trait, can be compared to the witch, and the breath of fire with dual traits, the combat power is between the knight and the witch who practice the special breathing method, and the demon mark system, even if it is the strongest pure saint inheritance, not counting the "extra-spec" factor of the power of faith, the combat power of the same level is still lower than that of the witch, but it is stronger than the breath of fire with dual characteristics.

Where the strength comes out, it is the blessing that comes from expertise.

All in all.

The existence of the burden made Roy realize that expertise cannot be engraved at will.

How to form a perfect specialty group within the upper limit of one's own burden and maximize combat effectiveness is a profound science.

"Hoo ......"

Exhaling deeply, Roy shook his head as he watched the hot air quickly condense into ice mist after being exposed to the environment.

It's getting colder and colder......

He turned his head in the direction of Fuma's guest room and frowned slightly.

More than two days have passed since Fuma entered the talent evolution.

Before her, there had never been a witch who had taken so long to evolve her talent.

If he hadn't confirmed that Fuma was in excellent condition, he would have thought something had happened.

Sighing, Roy lifted his steps, ready to return to the room and make adjustments to his other specialties.

As a top-notch hidden class, the combination of various specialties of "Starlight Paladin" has been painstakingly tested by the pioneers, and it has almost reached perfection, and Roy does not need to change it for the time being.

But he had barely taken a few steps before he paused, and his eyes returned to the room where Fuma was, and a smile appeared on his face.

He stood in the small courtyard and waited, and after a few seconds, there was a "squeak", the door of the guest room was pushed open, and a neatly dressed girl in red scale armor walked out.

The close-fitting scale armor perfectly highlights the girl's slender figure, and her bright eyes are more and more deep and mysterious.

"Your Highness Fuma, congratulations."

Facing Roy's smiling gaze, Fuma also had a smile on her face, "Thanks to your help, Lord Roy. ”

……

A few minutes later, inside the hall.

Roy and Fuma sat across from each other, and in addition to the two of them, Ace and Lilia also sat aside.

"Your Highness Fuma, how is it, after the talent evolves, do you see any additional clues?"

Roy made a pot of hot black tea and handed it over, asking.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Fuma exhaled lightly and nodded: "It's really more." ”

"I saw a 'large man-made vein' that we hadn't removed yet."

"Large?" Roy noticed the peculiar word in Fuma's words.

"Yes, large." Fuma's expression was solemn: "Artificial small magic veins, some time ago, I also removed two, and compared to the small ones, the magic veins I saw, whether it is the magic power gushing out, or the shape and size, are far superior to the small, so I choose to call it large." ”

"In the picture of the prophecy, in addition to the artificial large magic vein, there is also a huge shadow, presumably, it is the demonic beast born from this magic vein."

"Can you see where it is?" Roy's eyes condensed slightly.

Fuma shook her head: "It's a closed underground space, and it's impossible to determine the exact location, not even if it's located within the province of Rafah. ”

"After receiving your message, the Duke's Palace has sent several legendary knights to sweep the province of Rafah, and removed 9 'artificial small magic veins', with the perception ability of the legendary knights, if you can't find it once, look for it again, there is not much hope."

"Judging from the prophecy screen, this underground space should be located deep underground, and the magic fluctuations emitted are extremely weak, and the huge Rafa Province, it is difficult to search for it blindly."

Roy glanced at the table with his fingers, and after a few seconds, said, "Anyway, let's assume it's in the province of Rafa. ”

"If you are on your side, you can ask the legendary knights of the Duke's Palace to continue searching and trying, and my side will also use our own methods to find it."

"A two-pronged approach, as soon as there is news, we will immediately inform each other."

"That's all it can be......" Fuma sighed.

……

Fuma left.

This talent evolution took far longer than expected, and she had been "missing" for more than two days, so she had to go back to the Duke's Palace first, report her safety, and order the relevant search tasks to continue.

On Roy's side, he gathered all the witches and shared the content related to the prophecy.

Looking at the witches in deep thought, Roy set his eyes on the mechanical witch Tonine, who was sitting at the very edge.

Now, all the witches around him have completed the evolution of their talents, and only Tonine is the only one who has not completely eliminated the pollution and the first talent evolution.

After this period of observation, he has developed the most basic trust in Tonien.

Therefore, he is ready to help Toninne get rid of the pollution and complete the first talent evolution.

Tonine's "Metal Control" is a very powerful innate ability, and Roy is looking forward to what new derivative traits she will show after evolving.

Turning his gaze at the rest of the witches in contemplation, Roy spoke:

"The location of the man-made large mana vein, I guess, should be located somewhere extremely deep underground, in this case, the possibility of finding it by searching on the surface is almost zero, so we need to carry out 'underground operations'."

"Underground operations?" Ace, Lilia, and the other witches had doubts in their eyes.

Roy smiled slightly: "The way for the Kolai Empire spies to infiltrate is through a vehicle called the 'Digger', which enters the Radiant Empire from underground. ”

He shook a spatial ring in his hand: "And the 'digger' vehicle is placed in the spatial ring that Spy Miarko carries, well, this spatial ring." ”

"We can drive the 'digger' and search from the ground, and we can perceive it more clearly at close range, so the probability of finding the target is greatly improved."

"Of course, before that, Tonigne, you need to move up to the crown stage as soon as possible."

"You're the only one of us who can drive a digger, and your talent is metal control, making it easier to spot if there are cavities in the ground by sensing the presence of metal."

"Of course, I will also help you remove the pollution from your body and complete the evolution of your talent."

"Also, Yelena, Vivien, you two should have completed the imprinting of the nine runes of the Basic Meditation Method, right? During this time, I will also assist you in your promotion to the crown. ”

Hearing Roy's words, Tonine, who was sitting on the edge of the table, had waves in her plain eyes.

And Elena and Vivien, there was also excitement in their eyes.

They have long wanted to be promoted to the crown!
