21. Defense? Revenge?

The atmosphere in the study suddenly became a little stiff.

The witch in the black dress looked at her dead brother opposite her expressionlessly, her eyes were unpredictable, and it was impossible to figure out what she was thinking.

The little prince on the other side kept having a cold sweat on his head, and he regretted his momentary debt.

The flames in the fireplace beside her were depressed by the unusual atmosphere, and the little girl who had been comfortably nibbling on biscuits stopped her mouth movements, and she couldn't help but lean closer to Merlin's place.

"KP, I'm going to do psychology."

Merlin, who was panicked, muttered silently in his heart.

The difference in strength between the two sides is too huge, and there is no need to think about fighting or anything, so the only way to save your life at this time is the legendary protagonist's necessary nirvana, the mouth cannon Dafa.

Although Merlin, who is a dead house, has never lit the skill of mouth cannon, but now the character card comes with a high-level psychology, as long as he figures out what his sister thinks at this time, then his little life can still survive.

Psychology is literally the knowledge of figuring out people's hearts, Merlin's character card psychology level is 70, which is already a relatively good level among professional psychologists, and it is only one step away from the expert level at the next level.

He thought that this level of psychology should be able to study a little bit of his sister's mind at this time, of course, if it doesn't work, he still has a final trick.

Hmph, isn't it a big deal to be a tiger landing style, hugging the thighs, connecting the charm and begging for mercy three times?

90 charm are you afraid of, this is the highest level of master level charm, I'm afraid that even the charm level of the succubus in the abyss hell is not as high as him, he doesn't believe that such a high charm can still fail.

It's that once the charm is successful, it won't end well, although there should be no orthopedics in the other world, and the king and queen are gone, naturally no one will send him to orthopedics, but people are doing it, look at it again, until the last resort, Merlin doesn't want to take this road.

[Using psychology, ask the host to make an extremely difficult level judgment, equal to or less than 14, you will pass.] 】

In the blink of Merlin's eyes, such a system prompt poked out from the dark vision.

Merlin: "..........."

Hey, is this ghost woman so terrifying, it's extremely difficult to judge, what are you kidding?

He gasped inwardly.

In the running group, in order to pursue reality, the difficulty of using some skills is also divided into several levels, after all, everything has a mutual restraint, just like when playing other games, water skills will always restrain fire skills.

When running a group, there is also mutual restraint between skills and skills, such as the psychology that Merlin is using now, where psychologists can analyze the demeanor, movements, expressions and other activities of ordinary people, so as to guess the other party's mind to a certain extent, and distinguish whether the ordinary person in front of him is lying or something.

But what if the other side is not an ordinary person, but an actor, or a professional liar?

Psychology is a science, not a metaphysics like mind reading, once you encounter opposing skills such as acting, speech, intimidation, seduction, persuasion, etc., the probability of success of the skill will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, generally speaking, in response to this situation, KP will deliberately raise the threshold of skill success when running a group, making it more difficult for your skills to succeed, and according to the difficulty, it is generally divided into three grades: normal, difficult and extremely difficult.

If the opponent's opposing skill level is lower than 50, then you will have a normal difficulty this time, and you only need to cast a number equal to or lower your skill level to judge your skill success.

If the opponent has an opposing skill level between 51-89, then you will have a hard difficulty this time, and you will need to cast a number equal to or less than half of your skill level in order to count your skill as successful.

And if the opponent is unfortunate enough to have an opposition level of 90 or more, then sorry, the number of dice you need to roll must be equal to or less than one-fifth of your skill level.

Merlin is an extremely difficult psychology this time, which means that Cynthia on the other side must have a certain skill in extremely restrained psychology, and her attainments are also high, and she is already a master of that industry.

Merlin's psychology grade is 70, and the fifth of 70 is 14, so if Merlin's psychology is to succeed, he must roll a number below 14 in the d100 dice.

Looking at his lucky attribute, which was only 15, Merlin closed his eyes uncomfortably.

It's still a matter of casting for the ghosts, I've already seen a future where psychology will fail.

And what's even more uncomfortable is that psychology and charm's restraint skills are similar, if psychology fails, then charm is estimated to be not easy to make, nine times out of ten it is also extremely difficult, 90 one-fifth is only 18, not much easier than 14.

"Ah, unfortunate, to die, to die...."

Merlin muttered to himself, then gave up thinking.

Anyway, it's not saved.,If you can't save it, it's better to wait quietly for death.,Isn't it just tearing the card?,What a big deal.。

The salted fish of the dead house was exposed at this moment, and once he gave up thinking, he looked at this Cynthia quite calmly, and even had some expectations for what she would do with him next.

However, he waited for a while, but Cynthia on the other side did not move, but finally showed a very dissatisfied expression.

"Cut, brother, you've grown up, it's not fun at all, you weren't scared by me, you were scared when you were a child."

She dissipated the frightening expression she had just had, leaned back on the back of the sofa, and looked at Merlin with some dissatisfaction.

Well, it seems that her skills against psychology are intimidation, tsk, ghost women who like to scare small children.

Seeing Cynthia like this, Merlin, who felt that he had picked up a life, was glad while rolling his eyes and complaining in his heart.

looked through the memories of the original owner, and sure enough, this older sister who was skinned than him had intimidated the young original owner I don't know how many times.

"You are really still thinking about revenge, brother, you really broke my sister's heart, my sister has been eager to give you the best in the world all these years, you white-eyed wolf brother with a berry conscience, you can't raise it."

Cynthia's side began to play again, her face radiating with heartbreaking grief, and she stared at Merlin with an extraordinarily helpless look in her eyes full of sadness.

This made Merlin can't help but want to explain, neither he nor the original owner thought about revenge, he just skinned it.

But before he could explain, Cynthia sat up straight again, and although her face was still full of grief and sadness, she reached out and picked up the two birthday presents for Merlin that were placed on the table.

"Although your rebellion broke my heart, brother, who made me your sister? I promised my father that I would never hurt you and would always take care of you, and this must be done, so even if you want to take revenge on me now, sister, I will hand you the knife well. ”

She pushed the letter and gift box in front of Merlin.

"This is the knife."

"My lovely brother, you are too weak and weak now, so weak that even if I don't resist, you can't hurt me, let alone take revenge on me, besides, sister, I haven't lived enough, how can I not resist?"

"So, brother, go get stronger, sister, I welcome you to take revenge at any time, no matter how many times you take revenge, as long as you have the ability to break through my defenses."

"Well, but this may be a bit difficult, after all, sister, I have long expected such a day, so I have been working hard to study defensive magic all these years, not that I blow it, now I can stand still and watch him slash even if my father's dragon slaying sword back then."

As if to prove that she didn't brag, Cynthia picked up a decorative knight's sword from the wall of the study, although it was only an ornament, but this castle was the palace of the former king after all, and even the decorative weapons were among the best on the outside.

The sharp sword was held by the witch, and she swung it almost masochistically and slashed at her other hand.

"I'll go, it's dangerous, don't make trouble, I believe..."

Seeing that this old lady actually came, Merlin, who had not yet reversed the mentality of ordinary people, hurriedly wanted to stop it, but it seemed that it was too late.

And then .....

Merlin only saw that before the blade slashed into his arm, at that slight distance, layers of almost endless patterns of magic appeared, and in the blink of an eye, the longsword that had been at least purple in the game turned to ashes.

Well, it's not broken into pieces, it's the kind that really turns into ashes and drifts away in the wind.

"Gollum...."

Merlin swallowed and looked at Cynthia with a confused expression.

"You call this defense? Do you have any misunderstanding about defense? ”

The half-elf witch looked at Merlin with a wicked taste, leaning forward slightly, and then leaned into her brother's ear and whispered.

"So, brother, if you don't work hard to become stronger, you may not be able to take revenge on me in this life."
