Chapter 859: Not That Bad

The pink nails slightly pinched the back of Leon's hand, reminding him to stay focused. The Cat Queen continued to teach unhappily:
"Feel the crystal ball in your hand. It is a mineral whose diameter can only increase by a few centimeters or even millimeters each year. It takes at least millions of years to form. It hardly reacts with other things and can even last forever as long as it does not break.

Things like this, which have an extremely long past and an extremely long future, are naturally the best carriers of the secret of time... I know what you want to say. Stone is the same, but it is not transparent like crystal, so it cannot be used as your eyes. Don't be distracted! Focus!"

Following her mother's example, the Cat Queen blocked Leon's question before he opened his mouth. She held the back of Leon's hand and whispered in a slightly vague voice:

"Very good, you are slowly understanding this crystal, and have already sensed the special rhythm of time from its existence. Now, you need to adjust your own rhythm and let your existence move closer to the crystal... move closer to the crystal, not closer to me!"

After arching her head forward and pushing back Leon who was unconsciously leaning towards her, the Cat Queen simply put her eyebrows close to his, holding up Leon's head which kept drooping down, and instructed him in a soft and distant tone:
“Once your rhythm is completely integrated with the rhythm of the crystal, you will find that time is not something that is completely untouchable. Although you belong to the present, you also have a past and will definitely exist in the future.

Very good, learn from me to separate yourself from the present, and let your consciousness move forward to the future along the rhythm of the crystal, but a little faster than its rhythm... Yes, that's it!"

Looking at Leon, whose body had a slight "double image" and whose consciousness advanced about half a second into the future under her earnest teachings, the Cat Queen couldn't help but flash a hint of surprise in her eyes.

I actually learned...

Before, when he told me that he wanted to learn the witch's secrets, I thought he was daydreaming. It was impossible for someone who had neither time talent nor Da Ting blood to learn the witch's secrets. Even the prince with freckles on his face had a higher chance of learning the secrets than Leon.

But I didn't expect that he could get the hang of it so quickly. He had successfully gotten the hang of it in just over two days. This learning speed and adaptability are no worse than what I used to be!

"Well……"

After maintaining the detached state from the "present" for a while and increasing the "time difference" from half a second to one second, Leon's consciousness became slightly confused, and the hazy light and shadow around him reunited with his current body, breaking away from the state of the witch's secret technique.

Subconsciously shaking his head to get rid of the weird feeling of being in two different times at the same time, Leon looked at the smiling Cat Queen in front of him and said in a daze:
"Have I learned this?"

"Well, you have officially entered the door."

Looking at the gifted Leon in front of her, the Cat Queen couldn't help but smile and said with approval:

"Your talent is not much worse than mine. I feel it won't take too long for you to truly master the witch's secrets."

Master... Mastering is not enough!
He raised his hand and clicked on the badge panel. After looking at the conditions required for [Blood of Half-Witch] to be promoted to Gold Level, Leon couldn't help but ask:

"If I want to master the witch's secrets to the point of 'mastery', or even reach the level of a general 'great witch', how long will it take?"

"That will take a long time."

The Cat Queen thought for a moment and replied:
"From the initial entry to mastery, you are actually an apprentice in the secret arts. When you can apply it freely and have a preliminary understanding of the essence of the mysterious power in the secret arts, then you are at the level of a 'witch'.

The Great Witch is the level I reached before I accepted the Heart of the Great Court. Not only do I need to thoroughly understand the essence of the Great Court secrets, but I also need to be able to modify the secrets to the best suit my own unique secrets."

"..."

Is it so difficult to reach the level of a great wizard? Can I still upgrade my badge?
After listening to the words of the Cat Queen, Leon couldn't help but said with a headache:
"Similar to you, does that mean I have to study until I'm over a hundred years old, just like you?"

"Bah! You're only over a hundred years old!"

Faced with Leon's question, the Cat Queen couldn't help but get furious, her eyebrows raised as she said:

"Who told you I'm over a hundred years old? I'm only twenty-seven this year! How can I be that old? I'm basically as young as you, okay?" "I'm seventeen."

"..."

"That...that doesn't make much difference..."

Facing the tender young man in front of her, the somewhat autistic Cat Queen couldn't help but turn her head away and said with some lack of confidence:
"Although the gap is more than half now, in another 70 or 80 years, when we are all over 100 years old, the gap will only be one-tenth, so the gap is not that big..."

"Okay, if you say not much, then it's not much."

When asking for help, Leon was usually very easy to talk to. He directly agreed with the Cat Queen's "no more discussion" and then asked curiously:

"Caitlin, can I ask a slightly presumptuous question?"

"It's a little presumptuous, but you've asked me this in several different futures..."

After nodding helplessly, the Cat Queen began to explain:

"I was born when my mother was thirty years old. However, in order to ensure the inheritance of the Heart of the Great Court, my time has been frozen since birth. It did not start to flow until she was one hundred and twenty-three years old..."

I see……

After listening to the Cat Queen’s answer, Leon, whose curiosity was satisfied, nodded in realization, then stared at her and said hesitantly:
"Can you……"

"What do you want to do?!"

As if she had seen something in the future in advance, the Cat Queen's upper body suddenly leaned back, then she crossed her hands to protect her chest, and shook her head in horror.

"No! I won't say anything like I'm conquered by you! Pervert! You're an incurable pervert! You really do have that kind of idea about me!"

"..."

To be honest, it's not that I have feelings for you, but there's no way to advance the badge...

After taking a look at the advancement route of [Blood of Half-Witch], Leon couldn't help but blink helplessly.

In order to upgrade the [Blood of Half-Witch] to the gold level, one must practice all eighteen kinds of the Great Court secrets to the "Great Witch" level, or completely conquer the entire bloodline of the last Witch King Renran.

At present, he has already dealt with the other 17 major associations, and the only thing missing is the witch's secret method to complete the promotion. In addition, there is the "disaster" of the dead world soon. If he can get one more hidden golden badge, maybe he can completely change the situation...

After trying hard to prepare himself mentally and finding a reason to swipe the badge, Leon nodded apologetically at the cat princess in her horrified gaze, and then he stood up and rushed over to her.

"Then I'm sorry!"
