Both were 1.8 meters tall, but their positions were the complete opposite of what one might expect.
Asa was being held in Yennefer's arms, feeling a bit of secret pleasure; Yennefer's breathing was in his ear, and his nose was filled with the fragrance of her body.
Asa couldn't help but take a deep breath.
For the first time, he knew what Lilac and Gooseberry smelled like.
Just then, the system notification sounded:
[Congratulations on establishing a bond with the important plot character Yennefer. The bond relationship is 'Lovers'. Rewards are available for collection.]
He wasn't in a hurry to collect the rewards yet. Asa was more curious about what his talent in this new world was; he had just had a heart-to-heart with the beauty and had almost no time to check his talent.
Now, resting in Yennefer's arms, Asa had the time.
Before converting the new world talent, there were several more system prompts:
[Detection of magic power in this world. New attribute item opened: Spirit.]
[Spirit determines the upper limit of extraordinary element reserves in the body. For every point this attribute increases, it will increase by 20% on the original basis, covering items including extraordinary element control ability, purity, conduction rate, density, etc.]
[Consuming extraordinary element reserves will cause a temporary drop in the Spirit attribute, which can be recovered through rest or other methods.]
[This attribute can also be increased through practice, meditation, etc.]
[Current Spirit Attribute: 0]
To put it simply, Spirit was the mana bar. Since Asa didn't have any magic power in his body for the time being, it was naturally 0.
This was indeed a world of magic, but he wasn't sure if he had any magical talent.
In the world of The Witcher, not everyone possesses the ability to cast spells.
If a person lacks magical talent, no matter how much they study, they will not gain the ability to cast spells; spellcasting talent is determined at birth.
In the background lore, humans originally couldn't use magic. The source of magic in this world comes from the chaotic magic brought by the Conjunction of the Spheres, which provided some humans with magical talent.
Spells were even taught to them by elves from another world.
Asa stopped thinking about this for now; he chose to trust the system!
[Do you wish to convert to a new talent?]
Yes!
[Go With the Flow has been converted into a new talent: All Spells Hidden Within]
[All Spells Hidden Within: You will possess the world's top magical talent and can exempt the cost of magic by consuming magic power. This talent can be converted into an innate ability after mastering most of the magic and techniques of this world.]
The entry was simple, but Asa was secretly delighted.
As expected of Daddy System, its moves were extraordinary from the start.
The spellcaster system in the world of The Witcher wasn't as simple as it looked on the surface. magic alone was divided into ordinary elemental magic, Chaos Magic, illusions, Psychological Magic, Healing Magic, Curses, Astrology, Spatial Magic, Transfiguration, and so on, not including related magical crafts, runes, magical inscriptions, Alchemy, and the like.
It took a considerable amount of effort for an ordinary person to master just one. For example, Yennefer behind him—although she had extremely powerful magical talent, she wasn't proficient in everything.
Among the many types of magic, she was good at using elemental magic, with lightning magic being her most proficient.
In addition, she also had some involvement in high-level healing spells, Transfiguration, and mental magic.
Even if she was only truly proficient in lightning magic, at this time, Yennefer was already the most outstanding graduate of the Aretuza Academy on Thanedd Island, and later became a core member of the Council of Wizards.
If you're coming to a magical world, you have to be a mage. Who would want to play as a miserable Witcher?
Although it was a Witcher novel, Witchers only knew limited magic; in most cases, they still relied on the silver and steel swords in their hands to solve problems.
World-class magical talent directly opened the door to the new world for Asa.
But did the talent only bring Asa super-high magical aptitude?
No, its second item, 'exempting the cost by consuming magic power,' was enough to make Asa feel like a fish in water.
As everyone knows, magic always has a price, and some even have restrictions on identity and gender.
For example, Marvel's loan-based magic: the mana isn't generated by oneself but borrowed on credit from dimensional demon gods.
The Witcher world is much better, but some magic still requires a price to be paid, and some magic can only be performed by corresponding bloodlines.
Consuming magic power instead of paying the price—magic was rooted in the two shackles of bloodline and knowledge, which limited the people of this world.
Back to the point, the new talent from 'Go With the Flow' only had two lines, but the effect was heaven-defying, and it could be fixed as a universal talent for all worlds in the future.
Asa was naturally very interested in extraordinary abilities.
However, it was strange that the new world didn't have a new equipment slot.
Perhaps learning magic itself could be seen as learning a skill rather than acquiring equipment, Asa guessed.
As long as the mental power in his body increased, he could perform corresponding spells whether in the 2077 World or the Hell World.
Maybe in the future, he could bring spells from the Hell World to the Witcher world to learn, Asa imagination ran wild.
The black horse carried the two of them, and its speed was not slow.
Having changed into the clean clothes brought by Yennefer and riding a horse through the countryside, with the warm wind blowing against his face and a beauty in his arms, Asa felt extremely comfortable.
He had never had such a wonderful start.
Despite the fact that Asa appearance was still that of a pure Oriental race, this was the world of the Conjunction of the Spheres. The existence of various fantasy races like elves, dwarves, humans, Vampires, and monsters made everyone's acceptance of strange-looking things incredibly high.
No unruly peasants made things difficult for Asa on the road, nor did anyone shout about demons or devils upon seeing his black hair and black eyes.
Most farmers stayed far away after seeing the galloping black horse and well-made clothes.
The war had just ended, and the shadow of death still hovered in the hearts of the peasants.
After checking his talent, Asa wanted to say a few words to Yennefer, but Yennefer didn't say a word. Asa didn't know how to start either; he could only feel the breathing of the Sorceress behind him.
It was a bit ambiguous, and the innocent young man was a little uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, Asa still said:
"My lady, are you taking me to see Yennefer? Many years have passed, and I still don't know where she is now. I heard she..."
Asa initiative to talk finally woke up the Sorceress, who was lost in a certain state:
"Yennefer? You will see her soon. For now, you must follow my orders first."
Asa indicated that he was already very obedient; if she told him to lie down, he would never push back.
Meanwhile, Yennefer, whose mind was in a complex state, was thinking about a question:
Just now, she had noticed that although many years had passed for the Herbalist, his vital energy was flourishing and his body was still as strong and powerful as when he was young, but he still belonged to the category of an ordinary person.
But why could she now feel that the person in front of her was slowly absorbing the free-floating magic power in the air?
