Miss Witch, please respect yourself

Chapter 170 The Beginning of the Legend
A week has passed since Irina's birthday dinner.

Recalling the little fox girl's appearance that night when the two foxes' big tails kept patting the ground, but her small face pretended to be calm and calm, Roy couldn't help but laugh.

However, the starry eyes of the little fox girl when she received the birthday gift is still unforgettable to him.

After this incident, Roy also discovered that he cared too little for the witches.

It's not that he doesn't want to care about it, it's just that since he got to know the witches until now, he has almost never been free. The battle of territorial merger, the Xinghu incident, Fuma's doomed death, the disaster of monsters...all of them forced him to constantly work hard to improve his strength to deal with the terrible crisis.

Even now, don't slack off.

The behind-the-scenes people who guide the disaster of monsters, collect huge amounts of life force and soul power, and are deeply related to the power of the alien abyss are still peeping in the dark. The seemingly peaceful present is just the prelude to the storm.

However, after Roy paid a part of his attention to the witches, he turned his head and continued to practice hard.

……

in the courtyard.

Today's wind and snow are still raging, and the outdoor temperature has reached a terrifying minus eighty degrees.

Even though his physique has been promoted to the body of legendary fighting spirit, Roy still feels a bit of coolness.

He let out a deep breath, and the scorching breath caused thick steam and white smoke to appear in the place he passed. Not only that, the flames of battle qi floated around him, within a radius of more than ten meters, there was not a trace of white snow, and everything was completely melted.

"Finally, it's..."

Roy said with a sigh.

After a week of taking time out to practice, he finally succeeded in cultivating the secret skill of the breathing method with the characteristic of the breath of flame [Extreme Blossom] - bright light!
As the secret technique of the second characteristic [Extreme Blossom], which is extremely difficult to practice in the breathing of flames, bright light has two effects, passive and active. Among them, the passive effect is to make Roy's battle qi flames have a more terrifying high temperature, and the active effect is to allow the user to use "strong light". This kind of "strong light" is useless even if the eyes are closed.

Of course, the bright light is only a secret technique of the bronze level. Even if Roy uses the fighting spirit of the peak gold level to activate it, the effect will not be very good. At most, the existence of the same level will fall into a "blindness" state for a second.

but.

The most difficult part of the Secret Skill of Bright Light is getting started, and after that, the silver and gold ranks of "Bright Light Change" and "Bright Light Secret" are not very difficult to practice.

Roy is confident that in three days at most, he will be able to practice to the level of "Bright Light Secret".

As for the other breathing secret skill, [Burning Flame]'s "Burning Heart", he has already practiced to the gold level "Burning Heart·Secret".

However, to talk about the biggest gain of this week, it has to be the inscription of expertise.

The specialty rune of the third-tier professional stage of "Star Paladin" is extremely difficult. It took Roy five days to debug it, and finally engraved it on his body, and the effect was so strong that he was greatly surprised.

Different from the "star-gazing knight" who can only look up at the starlight at the second level, the third-level name of the star paladin is "star chasing knight". As the name suggests, it is a knight strong enough to chase the starlight.

Its specialties are the same as those at the second level, only two, but they are both extremely powerful high-level specialties, named "Body of the Star" and "Meteor X Skill".

The effect of the star bathing body is simple and brutal, which is to increase the starlight limit and recovery speed of the star chasing knight by 100%, and every day the starlight is absorbed, the increase rate increases by 1%, up to 200%.

The amount of starlight is the most important energy accumulated by the advanced specialty Meteor at the second level. There was only one way to increase it before, and that was to increase with the level of the professional.

Those who can obtain "Advanced Specialty Meteor Storage" are basically at the peak of the second level. At this time, the total amount of starlight is 100. After being promoted to the third level, the upper limit is increased by 20 for each level.

But Roy's situation is very special. He is not a practitioner of the "Magic Scar" system, so naturally there is no so-called "level". Therefore, there is basically no possibility of natural growth in the total amount of starlight.

The emergence of the advanced specialty "Body of the Stars" brought hope to Roy.

The initial 100% upper limit of the amount of starlight and the increase in recovery speed will increase by 1% every day of starlight bathing, and the maximum 200% terrifying increase will make Roy even if the amount of starlight cannot increase naturally, the benefits he will bring are extremely considerable.

Calculated by 100 starlight, after a 200% increase, it will be 300 starlight. In extreme cases, it can increase the sharpness of the weapon by 300% for 1 minute!

This improvement in combat effectiveness is very terrifying.

And another advanced specialty, "Meteor X Skill", is very interesting.The "X" in this advanced feat refers to the type of weapon. For example, if the main weapon of a professional who has obtained this advanced feat is a sword, then the name of this advanced feat will become "Meteor Sword Skill".
Meteor Blade Skill!

Advanced Specialty Meteor Knife Skill: When using a knife weapon, gain the blessing of starlight, speed +50%, strength +50%, and at the same time produce the effect of "bright stars". ——Bright stars: The stars are so bright that they dazzle the enemy, making it difficult to judge the trajectory of the sword light.

This is an extremely powerful advanced passive feat.

The acquisition of two high-level specialties, coupled with the gains in secret breathing techniques, made Roy's combat effectiveness usher in a surge again.

Because he had no opponent, he couldn't make an accurate assessment, but Roy reckoned that it would be difficult for him to take a blow from the legendary one-star Peak Hellman Spider.

At this point, Roy's combat power has basically reached the limit of gold.

Even if he cultivated "Bright Light" to "Brilliant Light·Secret", he would not be able to improve his combat power much.

With a body of gold, crushing a legendary one-star knight is probably something only a legendary two-star knight can do. With such terrifying combat power, I dare not say that there will be no one in the future, but there must be no one before!
The improvement in strength has given Roy great self-confidence, but he has not stepped into the real legendary realm, which ultimately makes him not very confident.

Right now, after a week of practice and adjustment, Roy, who feels that his state has reached its peak, has made an appointment with Fuma. Right now, he is standing in the small courtyard, waiting for Fuma's arrival.

Not long after waiting, Fuma and Doug with spears on their backs walked into the small courtyard as the red gold streamer flew across the southern sky.

"Lord Roy, I didn't expect your strength to develop so quickly..."

"Right now, we are about to step into the realm of legend."

Fuma who stepped into the small courtyard felt the residual heat in the air, and she also practiced the breathing method of flame, so she naturally understood what it meant.

At least the fighting qi at the peak of gold, and the secret skill "Brilliant Light" that has cultivated the trait of [Extreme Blossom], otherwise, the temperature of the flame of fighting qi can't reach such a terrifying level...

"Thank you." Roy smiled, turned his gaze to Doug aside, and said hello: "Your Excellency Doug is here too, welcome."

There was an ugly smile on Doug's cold face, but Roy knew that this was the best kindness from the other party. In most cases, Doug kept a cold face.

"Congratulations." Doug said with a slightly hoarse voice.

Even though it is extremely difficult to promote to a legend with gold, Doug does not think that a "monster" knight like Roy will fail. If he fails, then no one in this world can be promoted to a legend.

"Thank you." Roy smiled and expressed his gratitude: "It's very windy and snowy outside, so please invite the two of you into the house."

In the hall, after the three sat down one by one, Roy looked at Fuma: "His Royal Highness Fuma, have you gained anything recently?"

Fuma was silent for a while, then shook her head: "Unfortunately, my basic meditation practice is too slow, and I have only reached the sixth rune now. If I can be promoted to the crown, maybe I can see more prophecy clues."

"Winter is already halfway through. During this time, the major provinces have suffered from beast swarms and snow disasters, and too many people have died. However, in the past two days, according to the information from the major provinces, it seems that the monsters rarely go out. They only see them once or twice."

When talking about the latter piece of information, Fuma's face did not relax at all, but became even more serious.

Roy frowned, and his eyes became serious.

The emergence of monsters and the formation of the beast horde are all for the people behind the scenes to obtain a huge amount of life force and soul power. Now, the people behind the scenes have slowed down or even stopped this action. There is only one possibility, that is, he has already collected enough life force and soul power.

This is a very dangerous signal.

"Unfortunately, I can't catch his tail..." Roy sighed.

Even if the extremely concealed "man-made large-scale magic pulse point" is found, the overlord monster is killed, and one of the goals of the person behind the scenes is known, it does not help much in finding the identity of the person behind the scene.

The empire is too big, coupled with the extremely bad blizzard weather, even if the nobles of the various provinces know the existence of the "man-made large-scale magic pulse point" and send legendary knights to search, the possibility of finding the "man-made large-scale magic power point" is very slim.

What's more, Roy has reason to suspect that there is a certain connection between the person behind the scenes and the pale and boneless statue, and there is a high probability that he knew about the shattering of the pale and boneless statue in Rafah province. In this way, the vigilant behind-the-scenes person will hide deeper and be difficult to find.

For a while, the hall fell into silence.

In fact, both Roy and Fuma knew very well that the reason why it was difficult to track down the person behind the scenes was because they were not strong enough.

It's good that the Duke's Mansion is strong, but the Glory Empire is stronger than him, as well as the royal family, the noble council, and the temple.

Needless to say, the royal family and the temple, and the noble council alone is not an opponent of the border duke's mansion, but together, it is enough to cause the duke's mansion a headache.

If the strength is sufficient, a forced investigation will soon identify the identity of the person behind the scenes, but unfortunately...

"My lord duke, what's your plan?"

Roy tapped the long table a few times with his fingers, and said.

Fuma pursed her lips: "Father already knows the purpose of the people behind the scenes, but there is no good way at present. We can only do our best to prepare for battle, but there is something that makes me a little worried."

"According to the usual practice, my father will randomly choose a day in the last week of winter every year, go to the imperial capital alone, and get the 'military expenses for border defense' from the noble council and the royal family. This is an agreement between my father and the royal family and the noble council. It has been going on for a long time. It's just this year's situation. I always have a bad feeling when I think of the collapse of the rocky wall that is one of the prophecies."

"It's just that the military expenses for the frontier defense have to be paid. I suggested sending a legendary knight instead to go to the imperial capital, but my father just shook his head and told me that except for him, no one else can get the military expenses for the border defense."

Hearing this, Roy tapped on the long table more frequently.

The Duke of the Frontier is undoubtedly the strongest force in the current Rafah Province. Even at the peak of the Moonlight Witch Cecil, there is a high probability that he will not be the opponent of the Duke of the Border. After all, Cecil is just entering the realm of the Great Witch, and the Duke of the Border has already reached the limit of legend.

Legendary one-star, two-star, three-star, pinnacle, and then, is the limit.

"Forget it, let's make plans later, there is still some time." Fuma sighed, and turned to say: "Lord Roy, regarding the 'fire seed' you asked about in the sound transmission conch, it is too weak to express it in words alone. Some things need to be experienced in person to understand better."

"Please hold my hand."

Seeing the jade-like hand in front of him, Roy raised his hand and shook it lightly without much hesitation.

Doug, who was watching this scene, narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtful.

"Lord Roy, your physique?!"

The palm-to-palm touch made Fuma feel Roy's situation in more detail, and her beautiful eyes widened suddenly, full of shock.

She really couldn't imagine how a person who was still at the pinnacle of fighting qi could transform his body into a body of legendary fighting qi ahead of time.

Before Roy could answer, Fuma calmed down after a brief shock.

It is really because she has seen too many "unreasonable" things happen to Roy, and she is a little used to it now.

It is quite reasonable for a golden peak to have a legendary body... right?

Taking a deep breath, Fuma said slowly: "It is a good thing to have a body with legendary fighting spirit. In this way, it will be easier for you to be promoted to legend. Next, I will expand the domain and present the full state of the fire of the soul."

"You can feel the existence of 'Fire Point'."

After the words fell, Fuma's body burst out with a strong fighting spirit.
