Standing proud Mrazivý told Marcus about the final evolution she had unlocked which was apparently very rare and nearly unique to her.
"The third evolution I have possible is called ice queen. I unlocked it when I reached level forty-five because of my ice magic skill and blessing of frost. Though there are also two other requirents for this evolution. One is to absorb a very pure ice elental crystal, and the other is to be a mber of a royal family. In fact, this class is pretty famous in our family since many of us tend to have an affinity for the ice elent, and currently one of my older sisters has evolved into one."
Mrazivý showed a bit of pride when she ntioned her older sister and Marcus figured that she was one of the ones that had encouraged her to stand up for what she wanted.
"I see sounds like that is a pretty strong evolution. But I guess the one that Gwyneira told you to wait for is even better then?"
"Yeah, I asked her about it, and while she said that the ice queen evolution is strong, the one she wants to work towards is apparently leagues above it."
Mrazivý then stored away the magic core Gwyneira had given her and had a complicated expression on her face.
"I originally had been working toward achieving the ice queen evolution since I wanted to be like my older sister. And when I finally am close, only needing a high purity elental crystal, I am told to wait and try for another evolution. I know that this other one is supposed to be more powerful, but a part of really does not want to give up on my original goal. What do you think I should do Marcus?"
Seeing the torn look on her face, the emotional part of Marcus wanted to tell her to follow her heart, but the logical side wanted her to choose the path of strength.
"Mraz, I know you worked hard towards your goal, and I think it is great that you want to be like your older sister. But in this world strength reins supre. I think you should go with the one Gwyneira suggested."
Taking a deep breath Mrazivý closed her eyes for a mont before opening them again, the conflicted expression she had gone.
"Thank you Marcus, that was the last push I needed. With this I can put my old dream behind and strive for a new one."
After saying that Mrazivý sat back down, and said, "Well that is pretty much everything I know about evolution. I hope that you learned what you wanted to know, but why the sudden interest, are you not already at the top."
Hearing this Marcus now knew that Mrazivý as well thought that great spirit was the pinnacle for him, aning she did not know about his secret evolution.
Though it was not like he had been expecting her to, since Aerial another spirit did not know about the even higher evolution.
"Actually, I can evolve even after becoming a great spirit. I unlocked one of the requirents when certain circumstances allowed to absorb a mythic spirit gem. It is sothing called a Transcendent Ghost, Supre Spirit of Light and Darkness."
And astounded look ca over Mrazivý's face as she heard this obviously not expecting Marcus to have an evolution of his own, when he was already so strong.
"Judging by the look on your face you did not expect to be able to evolve. Unfortunately, it will not be happening until I reach at least level seventy, and that is just one of the requirents while the others are still hidden."
Marcus then went on to explain what he knew about his hidden evolution, which really was not much.
"I see sounds like you will be in for a rough ti when you get there. But as you said that could be awhile. I know you made it to where you are in a relatively short ti but, I have heard past level fifty it takes far longer to level up. Maybe in a decade or two you will get there."
Continuing their conversation, the two of them started talking about the future, like what they both were going to do next, or so of the highlights Marcus could expect to see when Mrazivý gave him a tour of the castle.
However, as they were talking about this Mrazivý perked up rembering sothing and said, "Oh when I show you around the castle, why do we not go to the royal archives. There is a good amount of knowledge there that you will not find anywhere else in the kingdom, and there might be a record of another being reach the sa evolution as you. Or at the very least you might be able to find out more about the mythic spirt gem you absorbed."
Nodding his head Marcus thought that was a good idea, and he figured that even if he did not find any information on his evolution which he thought likely, there would still be plenty of other information for him to learn.
Soon the two of them finished up their private conversation, and decided to head back to the banquet, not wanting to be gone for too long.
And when they arrived it seed that they had gotten back just in ti as the dley of desserts were being put out and the end of the banquet was drawing near.
"Damn this fruit tart is good." Marcus said as he shoved a tart with fruit that had golden flesh into his mouth.
Sighing Mrazivý leaned over to him and whispered, "We are still in public try to watch what you say."
Looking around Marcus noticed that a few nearby nobles were glancing at him obviously perturbed by his sudden and crude outburst.
'Oops forgot to put my polite face back on.'
Getting back into character, Marcus made sure to act like a noble, and not shout out crass words that irritated the others delicate ears.
"Hey Irene, Mrazivý."
Turning around Marcus and Mrazivý saw Novak and Clay along with the three other mbers of their party.
"Novak good to see you again. Did you finish up your discussion with that rchant?"
Smiling and giving a thumbs up Novak said, "Yep we did. Turns out their company is going to be shipping a lot of goods down south a couple kingdom's away, and they wanted to hire us to protect it. So now we can replenish so of our funds while continuing on our journey."
Novak and his party then sat down with Marcus and Mrazivý, and the mbers they had not t yet introduced themselves.
The seven of them then began talking about adventuring and at one point Novak even asked if they wanted to join their party and go with them.
Of course, Marcus and Mrazivý refused him, but they could not say they were not tempted for a mont.
"Well, it was good to talk to you two, maybe our paths will cross again soday." Novak said as his party was getting up to leave.
"Yeah, and good luck on your mission." Marcus said waving goodbye.
After that Marcus and Mrazivý made one last round around the banquet, talking to a few other people, before the event ca to an end, and they began making their way back ho.
