Chapter 110: 109 questions that cannot be answered “Magic Power has been increasing continuously?” Led by Vivian, a group of girls all turned their eyes to Merica, filled with surprise. “Yes.” Merica herself seemed to be as astonished by this phenomenon as the rest, both puzzled and uneasy, she whispered softly, “I thought it was just my imagination at first, but with the battles over the past few days, I truly feel like my Magic Power has indeed increased.” The evidence was just moments ago, when Merica was fighting the Ogre, the Magic she released was significantly more powerful than before. Because her own Magic Power had increased, the amount of Magic Power Merica could infuse into her spells had also grown, and as a result, the potency of her Magic had risen sharply. Yet, she had clearly not advanced in Level—why, then, had her Magic Power suddenly increased? ... On this, Merica was perplexed and unsettled. Vivian and the others began to take the matter seriously. “Generally speaking,” Vivian said to Merica, “growth in abilities like Magic Power usually comes with an increase in Level, or by acquiring new Skills to gain more Magic Power, or it could be due to external factors such as taking a Magic Potion that enhances Magic Power or utilizing a treasure.” Vivian asked, “Merica, have you acquired any new Skills or used any treasures or Magic Potions?” “No... not at all,” Merica shook her head hurriedly, adding, “If I had, I wouldn’t find it so strange.” Indeed, if Vivian knew about it, it was impossible that Merica, an Elf Mage, wouldn’t be aware. The fact that such Merica had no clue about the issue meant that, at least, the increase in Magic Power didn’t align with the usual reasons one might think of. Source: , updated on ɴονǤο.с0 “And... Merica...” Lu Muya also started to worry, saying, “Have you felt any discomfort anywhere?” “Right,” Vivian added earnestly, “if there was an abnormality in your body affecting the flow of Life Force, it wouldn’t be surprising for the Magic Power that’s transformed from Life Force to become erratic. Merica, have you noticed anything unusual about yourself? No matter how small, think carefully.” “Uh...” Merica’s pretty brow furrowed, and she began to show a hint of distress. Vivian and Lu Muya both watched Merica, not rushing her, waiting patiently for her to recall on her own. Meanwhile, Shane had been silent from the start, quietly standing at the back, watching Merica with flickering eyes. At this moment... “Do you have any thoughts on Merica’s condition?” A voice came from the side, snapping Shane back to attention. Shane then realized that, somehow, Tielle had come up beside him. “Tell me,” said Tielle. She wasn’t looking at Shane, but she spoke, “What are your thoughts?” “Thoughts...?” Shane scratched his cheek, saying, “I wouldn’t call them thoughts, just noticing some things.” “What things?” Tielle asked bluntly. Shane’s gaze returned to Merica, and he narrowed his eyes. In fact, several days earlier, Shane had noticed something abnormal about Merica. Because of his “Magic Perception” Skill. “You probably haven’t noticed, have you?” Shane spoke in a low voice like this, “Right now, there’s a very faint flow of Magic Power lingering around Merica continuously, even entering her body.” “What?” Tielle promptly frowned, expressing her surprise, “Are you saying that the sudden increase in Merica’s Magic Power could possibly be due to the constant infusion of this faint Magic Power into her body?” “I can’t guarantee that,” Shane shook his head and said, “But if you ask me whether I have any clue, then this discovery is all I have.” Hearing this, Tielle maintained her furrowed brow and fell silent. After a while, Tielle spoke up. “Merica is an elf, and elves are beings born from nature. If there is magic power constantly lingering around her, even infusing into her body, then it wouldn’t be strange for Merica’s magic power to be enhanced,” Tielle said calmly. “That is to say, this situation is fundamentally the same as the presence of a Magic Source.” “Magic Source?” Shane paused for a moment, then came to a realization and said, “You mean, the magic power that flows through the atmosphere is the world’s own magic power?” A Magic Source forms when a large amount of the world’s magic power converges in one place, materializing into a spring. And Merica, as an elf born from nature, close to nature and the world, it would not be surprising at all for her to absorb the magic power flowing into her body from the atmosphere and grow stronger as a natural elf. “The problem is, why would the world’s own magic power suddenly gather around Merica?” Tielle raised the only remaining question. At this, even Shane furrowed his brows and lapsed into silence. What Shane didn’t notice was that at this moment, Merica was casting her gaze towards him without leaving a trace. Watching Shane deep in thought, emotions flickered in Merica’s eyes. If she had to say there was something unusual happening to her recently, then Merica could only think of one thing. And that was related to Shane. (Ever since that night, I’ve felt that the closeness Mr. Shane arouses in me has been increasing...) This made the caution Merica used to have towards Shane gradually fade away. Previously, Merica had agreed to have Shane stay by her side to avoid being alone, and it was because of this feeling. Now, Merica sometimes found herself unconsciously wanting to be near Shane, her gaze often uncontrollably shifting to him, and once Lu Muya even told her that she had been unconsciously murmuring Shane’s name in her sleep, which made her so embarrassed that she wished she could just disappear. (How could I have changed like this?) Merica was troubled by this and subconsciously touched the pocket of her clothing. Inside, the garland Shane had given to Merica rested quietly, unnoticed by anyone. Then, even Shane himself hadn’t realized that the magic power lingering around Merica was actually targeting the garland, which was absorbed by Merica, as an elf of nature, after getting close to the garland. (Uh, I feel like I’m becoming less and less like myself.) Merica was inwardly crying over this realization, unaware of the truth. In the end, Merica chose not to speak of this anomaly but claimed she felt nothing unusual. As such, this question naturally remained unanswered. Having no choice, everyone had to give up on pursuing the matter and continued to clear up the battlefield. Before long, the escort squad set off again. Currently, they had already entered Duke Fidinis’ Domain, drawing near to the Royal Capital. However, someone else was also in pursuit of them, and the distance was now not far.
