Chapter 56 The Long Day iii
Seduce humanity.
Thanks to the Church, it became one of the most prestigious and notorious spells of the mind. However, few people know that this is rumored to have the ability to rewrite people's minds, and it is just a low-level spell that any mage is qualified to read, although its utility is not small, but it is far from reaching the effect of demagogy.
Basically, it is to make the recipient feel a kind of intimacy, and if you want to further influence the mind of the recipient and rewrite the mind of the recipient, you can't do it - not to mention a low-level spell, even if a real high-level spell is demagogic, it has little effect on many determined knights and even believers.
If you want to manipulate other people's minds freely and completely rewrite other people's memories, that is at least a legendary-level spell.
Although Monia benefits from her innate noble bloodline, the legendary realm is not out of reach, but no one can say how long it will be before she really sets foot in the legend. Moreover, after stepping into the legend, the mage, who has always liked to bombard the enemy to the scum in a simple and rough way, will definitely give priority to upgrading the high-power and high-kill spells that she was good at in her previous life, such as starlight burst and magic penetration killing cannon, into legendary spells, if it is really not feasible, she will also take a step back to master wide-area annihilation spells such as Eternal Dawn and Ice Age, which can directly make the opposite side hit GG, and will not waste her mental energy on mastering mental spells at all.
Even if it weren't for the fact that the spell of seducing humans was quite effective in walking the human world, the mage would not have wasted time memorizing and learning a spell that she didn't like at all - it turned out that the original efforts were not in vain, although she had always been accustomed to solving problems with violence did not use it a few times in total, but it still played a very important role at a critical moment - when entering the auction, she successfully got an old man to help her block the doorman's inquiry.
How could she not have imagined that when everything was ready, she would be turned away on the grounds that she was too young to come with her guardian? Fortunately, at that time, I was in a hurry, and I used a charm on the old man who happened to appear there, and asked him to stand up and help her out, otherwise she would really be crazy - it's not that there is no way to enter the auction again, in fact, there are ways, but judging from the current flow of people, if you miss this opportunity, it will be quite hard and troublesome when you come in next time.
Monia is a trouble-hating person, quite a nuisance.
So it's great to be able to avoid trouble – it's just...... I'm just a little sorry for the old gentleman.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head, she didn't plan to find a real guardian from the beginning, but to a certain extent, she used the old man's sympathy - the spell of enchanting humans, although it can't really bewitch people's hearts, but it can still affect the recipient's perception of the caster, but the strength of this influence is large and small, and it is closely related to the recipient's own perception of the caster.
To use the simplest analogy, if she had used a charm on the waiter who had stopped her, the effect would have been certain, but it would have been absolutely impossible to shake his mind and make him let him go. Human beings themselves have a natural love for vulnerable groups such as women and children, and this is more obvious in the elderly who have gone through half of their lives and have shifted the focus of their lives to their children and grandchildren.
Originally had a fairly high potential favorability, coupled with the effect of seducing humans, the little mage could even be sure that the old man he didn't know had already regarded her as his son and grandson in his heart, and he must be very anxious about her "disappearance" at this time, and it was not impossible to even seek help from the local garrison.
Monia felt a little guilty, but she didn't intend to throw herself into the net - after all, the old man's affection for her was only the effect of the spell, not really from the heart, and as the effect of the spell wore off, it would not be long before it would return to normal - and she had more important things to do, and she, who was naturally alienated from humans, could not bend her will because of a little guilt anyway.
So.
- I'm sorry.
After a silent repetition in his heart, the mage restrained his thoughts and walked towards the box he had booked earlier.
With the popularity of the auction today, it was almost impossible to book a private room less than a day before the opening, but many of the common sense impossibilities were merely superficial, and in reality they were just a joke to the truly powerful - but it seemed that the Night's Watch was much more influential at the top of the mountain than she had expected, and the blind store manager, whose life was in her hands, was also conscientious in these matters.
"Hello, is there anything you need me to serve?"
At this time, it was a female waiter who spoke, with a delicate face and a sweet smile.
"Please take me to room 321."
Monia did not refuse the other party's help, the venue of the auction is not small, on the third floor alone, there are at least dozens of boxes for nobles and big businessmen, and it will take at least a few circles to find it by yourself.
"Willing to serve you," said the female waitress on the floor, who was clearly different from the one at the entrance in her attitude towards the mage, due to the stark difference in their duties, the latter mainly focused on screening suspicious persons, and the former mainly focused on providing services—satisfying those who were able and qualified to book private rooms, "Please come with me." ”
Bowing down and making a gesture of please, after meeting the mage's gaze, she moved calmly and gracefully, graceful and graceful.
The mage silently followed her, and after a few corners, her pace slowed down as she stopped in front of a door marked with the 321 sign, bowed down and made another gesture of please, "Please shake the doorbell or insert the key." ”
"Click."
Monia opened the door and was greeted by the elegant décor.
"Not bad." After looking around for a week, she praised sincerely, and then turned to look at the waitress who stayed in front of the door, and the waitress who sensed her gaze nodded knowingly, and said in a sweet voice: "Dear lady, there is our service menu on the table, if you need my service, you can shake the rattle on your side, I will serve you as quickly as possible, excuse me." ”
With that, she bowed down and exited the private room and closed the door casually.
When it was certain that the waitress was far away, the mage's gaze once again scanned the private room, and then he reached out and whispered an ancient incantation, rippling in circles with the constant change of gestures, until it finally disappeared.
"It shouldn't be a problem." She nodded slightly, and said to herself - the spell just now is an anti-detection spell, which can be used to determine whether there is a spell for surveillance in this private room, and the result is naturally unsurprising, there is no eavesdropping or surveillance spell in the room, and there is no one nearby to peep in secret, "But you still have to pay more attention, if nothing else, there will be a lot of mages present these days." ”
Although she came to the auction to get information about the local mage, if she made a mistake in handling it, it would be troublesome for the other party to target her, and Monia, who came from the orthodox school, knew better than anyone how huge the potential power that a top lineage mage school could mobilize and influence—if she didn't care about it, it was not impossible to even decide the ownership of the throne with a word.
Therefore, it is necessary to act in secrecy.
Monia was secretly vigilant in her heart, but her expression on the surface did not change much, she just sat down naturally and flipped through the materials prepared by the auction official at hand.
"The downstairs is just an exhibition, and the only people who are qualified to raise a sign and bid at the auction are the people who have chartered the private room?" When she saw half of it, she couldn't help frowning, this news was something she didn't know before, but if you think about it carefully, it's really normal for the organizer to do this, after all, the more people, the more chaotic, the rich man may want to make this auction an unprecedented event to show his influence, but the following executors will definitely fine-tune out various practical factors, so as to come up with a more feasible and constructive plan - that is, is that guy doing things badly?
No, the same can't be said either.
The mage quickly dismissed this possibility - he really couldn't blame the blind store manager for his bad behavior, from forcing him to be loyal to the auction, it was only one night in total, and this night he not only had to get admission to the auction, but also spread the news in time, creating a fog to hide the truth about the death of the water rat, and there was really no way to fully grasp many details...... However, although the truth is so, for a person like him who uses semi-coercive means to master, it is more convenient to grasp it with a proper beating.
Squinting her eyes slightly, Monia had already made a decision in her heart, and let go of this matter for the time being. Continue to flip through the information at hand.
There were not many pages of information, just a thin booklet, which was quickly turned to the last page, and in general there was nothing particularly important about it, and it was basically not much different from what the night watchman had told her, except for the peculiarities of the private rooms, the only addition was the schedule of the auction.
Somewhat fortunately, on the first day of the auction, there were exotic flowers and plants in the category of exhibits.
The Land of Mountains is known for its abundance of valiant warriors and a rich variety of high-quality ores, limited by the terrain and altitude, the vegetation here is not abundant, and the types of plants are relatively simple, perhaps the middle and high-level mages have the means to obtain all kinds of raw materials for alchemy potions from other sources, but for the low-level mages belonging to the school, their strength and financial resources are difficult to support them to obtain the necessary materials for refining potions from other sources.
And this auction can meet their needs in this regard.
I'm not afraid that they won't come.
The mage thought and glanced up at the pendulum clock in the room.
—9:51 a.m.
- There are less than ten minutes left before the official opening of the auction.
