Experience—yes, experience, not experience—players with a wealth of experience, especially those like Ye Ningning, who often deal with players and NPCs in the evil faction, know an iron rule:

Don't easily believe the voice that suddenly comes out of your heart.

If you have enough understanding of the power level of this game world, especially the mysterious knowledge and the law of power, you will know that in the law of this magical world, the soul is the cornerstone of the world, the greatest wealth, and at the same time the forbidden area of various extraordinary powers.

The soul is protected by the Supreme Law, and even the gods cannot peer into the souls and minds of mortals unless they are allowed to do so by their targets or through special means of connection.

For example, the gods can hear the believer's confession because the believer opens his heart to them when he prays.

The devil or evil spirit can dwell in people's hearts because the latter has inadvertently come into contact with something with the mark of the devil, or has made a wish or prayer in his heart, and attracted the devil or evil spirit;

The ability to hear what people are thinking is the result of the caster's use of hypnosis or hallucinations to remove the target's psychological defenses, making them unconsciously agree to the other party's entry into their souls.

Ye Ningning naturally would not violate these taboos, she calmly found the flaws in the other party's words:

"There are two people who enter this room, why can't she hear you?"

"Do you mean the little girl next to you?, oh, she was full of fear, and she didn't seem too reluctant to come here, and though you were calm, you didn't need me as desperately as those who had looked for me before. But yours still call my name, don't you?"

The other party was dissatisfied: "I am not a devil or something like that, hiding my head and showing my tail, using lies to deceive the trust of the ignorant, if you don't call me, I will not establish a spiritual connection with you!"

Indeed, before this voice appeared, she was thinking about the whereabouts of the sage's slate.

Moreover, she also only thought about this question.

Names, there's magic. itself is part of the mantra.

For example, magic. Summoning, nature, or even necromantic spells require chanting the spells of the gods, nature spirits, or the god of death in order to borrow their power.

Speaking of which, this is similar to the occult doctrines such as witchcraft, divine beating, and Taoism in Chinese mythology. There are similarities.

As for the slate that can talk or something. This is not surprising.

To know. It's a magical world, and there is a magic mouth spell in the 2 ring spells, which can make doors and books. Even a stubborn stone on the side of the road spoke, but it was a pre-set sentence, not like the sage slate, which had the ability to think and think, and also had a more advanced spell-like ability than a telepathic link.

After confirming the identity of the sage slate, Ye Ningning's spirit lifted slightly, "So, where are you?"

She was running out of time.

"Good question! Most of the people I connect with, ask me this question!"

The sage tablet said briskly:

"However, this is the test I give you, only by finding the person I am can you really get me!"

"'Really'?" 'Get'?"

Ye Ningning immediately sensed the deep meaning in this sentence, thinking of what it had said before, he vaguely guessed something, and asked tentatively, "You mean, before me, there were many people who found you?"

"Of course, otherwise you wouldn't know I existed, would you?"

"So, when was the last person who got you?"

"Clever little girl, it seems that you are very close to the truth!" Sage Slate praised, "Let me think, well, the last time I got my people was in the nineties...... Well, ninety-seven years ago, yes, ninety-seven years ago!"

"Ninety-seven years ago...... As far as I know, this glorious church has disappeared from view for almost four hundred years. ”

"Has it been almost four hundred years? Oh yes, yes, yes, distance...... It's been three hundred and seventy-eight years!" sage slate muttered vaguely.

Ye Ningning verified what he thought in his heart.

If, if that post is not wrong.

The sage slate seemed to be a little depressed, and after a long time he asked:

"So, do you know where I am?"

Ye Ningning glanced at the candle flame, which had shrunk to only one-third, and it showed, [Defense Value: 97].

In the brief seconds she stared at, that stat jumped again, becoming [Defense Value: 96].

There is no time left.

"You are very different from what I imagined, I thought that what I was looking for was a stone tablet—or at least a slate-like substance. ”

Ye Ningning slowly said her answer:

"You, omnipresent, or rather, are in my heart. ”

As soon as her voice fell, her eyes suddenly turned white.

“…… You pass the 'test of wisdom'. ”

“…… You have completed the hidden quest 'Lost Sage Slate' in the Lost Church of Radiance - Prologue to Eternity, gaining +10,000 experience. ”

“…… +1 for your Intelligence. ”

“…… You have obtained 'Sage Slate.' ”

“…… +3 for your occult knowledge. ”

“…… You gain the temporary title of Thinker. ”

……

The light that was completely different from the previous darkness struck, which made Cheng Xiaoyue exclaim, and subconsciously covered her eyes, but soon found that there was no black shadow in front of her, so she put down her hand, looked around, and asked Ye Ningning in surprise:

"Miss, where are these monsters?"

Ye Ningning was also looking around.

She didn't cover her eyes like Cheng Xiaoyue, she just squinted slightly, and if you look closely, you can still notice that her eyelashes and eyelids are fluttering at a high frequency.

Covering your eyes is a noob behavior.

If you cover your eyes at this time, you will not only occupy your hands, but also expose your unarmed hands to potential enemies, which will minimize your own threat and allow the enemy to launch the most violent attacks on you with impunity.

Squinting and blinking quickly is the quickest way to regain your strength after a sudden light.

So, she noticed the visual anomaly for the first time.

Under normal circumstances, the connection between the structure of the eye and the optic nerve, sudden light or darkness, will cause the optic nerve to be temporarily affected, and there will be a dark shadow blind area on the retina, if the brightness difference is too large, it can also cause damage to the optic nerve, resulting in permanent blindness.

Of course, this is not without exceptions.

This can also be done if you have special visual abilities, or if you have taken certain potions that permanently enhance your visual abilities.

In addition to this, there is another possibility.

That is, what they originally saw was not transmitted to their minds through the retina and optic nerve, but was directly created in their minds-

Hallucination.
