Chapter 90: The Border Fortress of Franco

"So you're saying that she likes Sid now, and they're together, and something will happen again?"

"Ten thousand percent sure!" Giggs said in an exaggerated tone, "Jinx's glorious deeds are known to the entire mercenary group, and I don't have to talk nonsense." Sid is still not dead, and we have recognized it as a miracle. So you listen to me, and when you meet the enemy, retreat first......"

Before Ian could speak, Jinx suddenly turned around. It was a smile Ian had never seen before.

"Little Giggs, are you done?" said enough?" asked Jinx with a grin.

"What are you doing?!!I'll give a little advice to the juniors!" Giggs said this sounding like he was bold enough to say, looking like "Lao Tzu is out of the blue, and it's a big deal to shoot and scatter."

"Oh, it's fine. They just want to tell you that you look very handsome today! so handsome that my heart is bumping into ......" Jinx smirked exaggeratedly.

"Y-what do you want to say?" called Giggs timidly.

"People seem to be ...... I like you!" Jinx said with a twist, her face really flushed slightly, like a girl who confessed to her sweetheart.

Here Giggs screamed and turned around to run towards Oasis Town, but fortunately Ian was quick and grabbed him by the arm.

Before Giggs could look back, several spirit arms suddenly appeared on his back, breaking Ian's grip on his hand.

Ian didn't expect that the arm was quite strong, and when his right hand was pulled away, he hurriedly stretched out his left hand to grab him again. The spirit arm on Giggs's back was also unusually fast, and Ian's left hand was immediately pulled away as soon as it touched his shoulder.

After all, Ian only had two hands, and seeing that Giggs was about to break free, he had to ask Zach to help and block in front of Giggs.

Ian advised, "You calm down......"

Jinx looked at it and giggled, "Okay, okay, look at how scared you are!" she stretched out her voice as if to soothe Giggs, "I have a heart now." When Giggs heard this, he finally stopped struggling, turned back, and watched with hatred as Jinx happily walked back to Sid.

"Your friend, regardless of your fighting ability, you are really ......bold," Giggs exaggeratedly wiped the sweat on his head and sighed.

Ian turned his head to look at Sid's back, wondering how his loud voice was surprisingly quiet today, and he always felt like he was deliberately avoiding himself.

He turned to Giggs and asked, "By the way, did Sid tell you about the commission yesterday, and how did he convince you to join us?"

"Ah, it doesn't matter...... Rather than this," said Giggs, as if suddenly remembering something, "I haven't asked you how your psychic powers are different from ours, and do you have anything to do with the youkai Ida?"

Ian was stunned: "Youkai?

"Well, I shouldn't expect you to know. You see, our psychic powers are all about strengthening our own abilities or strengthening our sword skills like Wenna," Giggs manifested an arm and waved it to attract Ian's attention, "My arm is already special, but the spirits that can fight with you seem to be even more special......"

"I don't know, it's always been like this. It is especially difficult to control. Ian told the truth about his training methods, "By the way, I've always wanted to ask, how many kinds of psychic power are there?"

"Hmm...... The enhancement system is the most, the summoning system is the least, and I don't think the rest is suitable for combat. Giggs said succinctly, "For example, your blacksmith skills, and those styling systems, can only be used as aids. In the enhancement system, I belong to my own enhancement - but it can also be regarded as half summoning, which is a little more special. I don't know about the summoning system, there should be a subdivision. The other in the enhancement system is the enhancement of combat skills, which will look a little more handsome, which is Wen Na's kind. ”

"Isn't it possible to use melee sword skills as long-range attack skills by strengthening your combat skills with your psychic power?" Ian remembered the way Danes fought.

"You can understand that......" Giggs nodded, "Hey, you're still a little knowledge......able! It's eye-catching, and it's really powerful. However, the principle is similar to that of other combat-type psychic, after all, the foundation is association. ”

"Lenovo?", this is the first time Ian has heard of this statement, "Isn't the essence of spiritual power spiritual power?"

"That's right, but I'm talking about how it works...... Wait, you don't even know this, do you? I don't know how you use your psychic powers......" Giggs wondered, "Tsk, let's put it that way! If the other form of 'association' is 'creativity', can you understand that?"

Seeing Ian's dazed face, Giggs added anxiously: "Association is to reimagine existing things, you can always understand this, right? A circle can be associated with the sun, wheels, and so on." Imagination is the process of imagining something from nothing in the absence of an existing thing, such as a circle. See what I mean?"

"Seems like 'ideation' would be more difficult?"

"Of course! means it takes longer and isn't reusable like a skill, so it's not suitable for combat. Every time I embody my arm, it doesn't make any difference, so the more I use it, the more proficient I get, the faster I get it. In the past, the people of the Psychic Research Association were all creative. Combined with the ability to create and shape, they often come up with something amazing!"

"You may seem to have the basics of these things, but this is the first time I've heard of them today......

"Of course, it's been a long time since the Psychic Research Society ceased to function, how old are you!" Giggs raised his nose proudly, "We all have teachers to teach us. It's already a miracle that you don't know anything and can use your psychic power. ”

Jinx, who was walking in front, should have heard Giggs's shouting, and turned around and said: "What kind of association and creativity, it can be used to win the enemy, and don't instill those unrealistic theories in our lovely juniors!"

Giggs sneered: "Unrealistic theory, but I heard that the Psychic Research Association is about to start operating again, and you won't have time to make up for it then!"

The two of them argued over the psychic knowledge that Ian had never heard before, and all kinds of words that he had heard for the first time popped up from time to time, and Ian only felt that he didn't have enough brains. Sid, on the other hand, remained ahead of the curve, avoiding getting involved in their arguments. Watching the black giant sword behind him sway with his pace, Ian couldn't help but think that if only Sid could also use psionic power, with the big sword he made, it must be invincible.

They traveled north along the eastern border of the Commonwealth, intending to reach the famous fortress of the Confederation opposite the Imperial Oak City: the city of Francis. In Fort Franco, with the certificate issued by the Golden-Tailed Chamber of Commerce, you should be able to leave the border smoothly and enter Oakshield City and the territory of the empire as a merchant. Thinking of this, Ian inevitably felt apprehensive. The closer he got to Black Eagle City, the more he couldn't calm down in his heart.

Although the Federation's border fortress Fran City has long been famous, after seeing it with his own eyes, its momentum is far beyond Ian's imagination.

If the city of Babel was built on a mountain, hollowing out half of the mountain, then the whole city of Farland is a man-made mountain.

"One, two, three......" He stopped outside the city gate, silently looking up and counting the layers of the city of Fran.

"Don't count, twelve. Jinx said.

Like a mountain that has been precisely carved into a conical shape, the lowest level is the largest, and it is layered from the bottom to the top. Each floor is circular and laid around the central axis of the city. Ian could also clearly see from the gate below, the main road formed by the wide slope between the floors. Needless to say, there must also be many steep paths and steps hidden between the imposing buildings for people to pass. This is similar to the city of Babel, but it is not the same in terms of momentum.

Ian and his group of four walked through the huge city gate into the city of Fran. His gaze followed a nearby building upward, and at the highest point, he felt that the towering buildings around him were all falling towards him. He spun around with his head up, dizzying himself. Giggs grabbed him and said with a smile, "Black Eagle City doesn't have such a magnificent building, right?"

Ian shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "Black Eagle City is like a labyrinth, and Farland City is like a fortress. ”

"Rift Rock Fort is also a fortress. Sid was also here for the first time, and he felt no less shock than Ian.

He muttered, "The word fortress is not enough to describe this place. ”

"Here, but it's a fortress. Giggs corrected them in due course, "It has withstood the invasion of the Empire and the infestation of countless demonic beasts. It is said that the most critical one only allowed the enemy to attack the seventh layer. ”

Ian and Sid's eyes widened at the same time, and then they looked up at the location of the seventh floor.

The spires of the buildings that pierced straight into the sky were scattered on each floor. And at the top, though the clouds were already shrouded, Ian saw the building in the center. Standing alone, towering into the clouds. Vaguely, he saw that the building seemed to be connected to the bridge. The bridge looms in the mist, giving it a sense of unreality.

"We're just going to go there and get back and see enough. Giggs smiled.

Sid and Ian looked at each other, and immediately remembered the climbing experience in Babel, but compared to this place, it was a child.

"Let's go, fill our stomachs first!!" called Giggs, and led the way to the front.

Ever since Ryan Giggs said that the city of France was a fortress, Ian had gradually noticed that it was in keeping with the image of the fortress.

Aside from the fact that all the buildings were tall and solid, and ignoring the small windows that were disproportionate to the wide walls, their doors were all hinged iron gates, even the huge stone tower where the tavern stood. In other words, once an enemy invades the city, each building will be able to hold the gate for a while.

"What kind of war would have forced people to build such a fortress?" said to himself as the group sat down in the tavern hall, looking at the exaggerated height above his head.

Jinx smiled, "Then I have to ask you Imperial people!"
