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 rica, filled with surprise.
“Yes.” rica herself seed to be as astonished by this phenonon 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 monts ago, when rica 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 rica 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, rica was perplexed and unsettled.
Vivian and the others began to take the matter seriously.
“Generally speaking,” Vivian said to rica, “growth in abilities like Magic Power usually cos 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, “rica, have you acquired any new Skills or used any treasures or Magic Potions?”
“No… not at all,” rica 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 rica, an Elf Mage, wouldn’t be aware.
The fact that such rica had no clue about the issue ant that, at least, the increase in Magic Power didn’t align with the usual reasons one might think of.

“And… rica…” 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 transford from Life Force to beco erratic. rica, have you noticed anything unusual about yourself? No matter how small, think carefully.”
“Uh…” rica’s pretty brow furrowed, and she began to show a hint of distress.
Vivian and Lu Muya both watched rica, not rushing her, waiting patiently for her to recall on her own.
anwhile, Shane had been silent from the start, quietly standing at the back, watching rica with flickering eyes.
At this mont…
“Do you have any thoughts on rica’s condition?”
A voice ca from the side, snapping Shane back to attention.
Shane then realized that, sohow, Tielle had co up beside him.
“Tell ,” 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 so things.”
“What things?” Tielle asked bluntly.
Shane’s gaze returned to rica, and he narrowed his eyes.
In fact, several days earlier, Shane had noticed sothing abnormal about rica.
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 rica continuously, even entering her body.”
“What?” Tielle promptly frowned, expressing her surprise, “Are you saying that the sudden increase in rica’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 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. “rica 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 rica’s magic power to be enhanced,” Tielle said calmly. “That is to say, this situation is fundantally the sa as the presence of a Magic Source.”
“Magic Source?” Shane paused for a mont, then ca to a realization and said, “You an, 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 rica, 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 rica?”
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 mont, rica was casting her gaze towards him without leaving a trace.
Watching Shane deep in thought, emotions flickered in rica’s eyes.
If she had to say there was sothing unusual happening to her recently, then rica 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 has been increasing…)
This made the caution rica used to have towards Shane gradually fade away.
Previously, rica had agreed to have Shane stay by her side to avoid being alone, and it was because of this feeling.
Now, rica sotis 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 na in her sleep, which made her so embarrassed that she wished she could just disappear.
(How could I have changed like this?)
rica was troubled by this and subconsciously touched the pocket of her clothing.
Inside, the garland Shane had given to rica rested quietly, unnoticed by anyone.
Then, even Shane himself hadn’t realized that the magic power lingering around rica was actually targeting the garland, which was absorbed by rica, as an elf of nature, after getting close to the garland.
(Uh, I feel like I’m becoming less and less like myself.)
rica was inwardly crying over this realization, unaware of the truth.
In the end, rica chose not to speak of this anomaly but claid 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, soone else was also in pursuit of them, and the distance was now not far.
