Chapter 29: Perception
Thea clenched her fists lightly and stood at the door of the study, staring into the young man's eyes.
Urs sat behind the old desk and raised his gaze to meet her, obviously feeling that the topic she wanted to talk about next seemed to be something simple, so he also put down the inked quill and simply closed the diary in his hand, got up from the chair and looked at her and responded: "Ask, Xia, I'll listen." ”
"Hmm." Thea nodded solemnly, "Then Urs, please look me in the eye and tell me the truth......"
Then, she opened and closed her lips, and asked with a facial expression that didn't look like a joke—
"Is the current you really the same as you used to be?"
As the words fell, she took a deep breath, as if to calm some impetuousness and uneasiness in her heart, and then quietly waited for Urs's reply to her.
She believed that young people would not lie to her.
It's just that the girl's question is a little too abrupt.
Urs's face was calm on the surface, but he was really surprised in his heart at this moment.
Goofs? His heart tightened.
But don't you think about it in a blink of an eye? It stands to reason that his personality in his previous life is actually quite similar to "Urs" before he was possessed by his soul, and in this life, he has inherited the memories of the aborigines, where did Thea see his strangeness?
Is it because his performance since the time he crossed over is too perfect, in the eyes of the aborigines of this world?
…… No, don't jump to conclusions just yet.
Thinking about it, the answer that Xia wants to know may not be her identity as a time-traveler, but maybe something else.
He had to figure out what the girl meant first, so he asked back, "I'm sorry, Thea, what do you ......mean by the phrase 'Is this me still the same as I used to be?'"
"It's literal." Thea immediately took his words and explained bluntly, "This is not a philosophical discussion, Urs. Perhaps it seems to you that I am very nervous now, but I hope that through your answers, I can confirm with my own ears that your current soul still belongs to the Urs of the past? ”
it! Really?!
Hearing that the priest girl in front of him had already said this, Urs suddenly felt that Thea didn't seem to be joking with him.
She seemed to have really seen through the biggest secret in her heart.
So how should I answer? Do you need to truthfully admit to her that you belong to the other half of the player's soul?
In addition, rather than considering whether to admit this, young people are more curious about where they have shown their "feet" for a while, after all, the changes in a person's temperament can be explained by reasons such as being stimulated or suddenly enlightened in philosophy.
As a time-traveler, he certainly knew that his actions would inevitably create a certain degree of contrast in the impression of Thea, whom he had known for several years.
But is that just the evidence?
Mo Fei Xia usually has a reserved personality, but her intelligence attribute is actually ridiculously high?
Or is it ......
Perceive?
By the way, the primary attribute of a priest is perception.
Perceiving the comprehensive ability of the representative character in terms of mental emotional intelligence, willpower strength, common sense judgment, sensory acuity and intuition.
Intelligence helps characters analyze and think, while perception is related to the subconscious mind of the character feeling and reconciling with the things around them. A mage who is locked up in an ivory tower to study magic may have opposite levels of intelligence and perception attributes, and the Fool has a lower intelligence, but it is not excluded that his perception attributes are much higher than those of ordinary people.
Under Castaño's worldview, the perception attribute of an ordinary human is about 10 points.
If a character's perceptual attribute exceeds 20, they will gain the "Sixth Sense" talent trait, for example, a seemingly silly psychopath may go crazy because he has seen something unspeakable to ordinary people, a devout and humble religious believer may hear the call of a god in his mind, and an exotic soothsayer with a mysterious background may even spy on the future in a dream.
The scene where Xia had used a small healing spell to kill the ghost monster in the Tomb of the Wraiths a few days ago still impressed him, and he had speculated that the girl's half-beast bloodline infected by the werewolf virus might have hidden mysterious powers that even she didn't even realize existed.
In this way, her perceptual attribute value has actually crossed the threshold of 20?
Warnes is on it, you must know that a certain character attribute at 18 and 19 points is already the limit of normal people's ability in that aspect, and 20 is a bottleneck that many people can't break through in their lifetime. It's not just a matter of hard work, it's a talent gap.
The reason why the ugly duckling can become a swan is because people are swans in the first place.
But then again, admitting his identity as a player and time-traveler to the natives of this world, coupled with various experiences in his previous life, is really his first experience, which makes his current actions a little confused to be honest.
He stood there dumbfounded, his eyes meeting the girl's eyes.
The quiet scene suddenly filled with an awkward atmosphere.
Just then, there was a knock on the door in the direction of the living room of the house.
"I ...... I'm going to open the door. Xia blinked, blushed, and quickly changed the subject so that the two of them could have a suitable step down.
In fact, she didn't know what was going on in her head at this moment, and she actually asked Urs such a thing with just a hint of suspicion in her subconscious.
Immediately, the wolf-eared girl turned around outside the old study as if she had fled, and then felt her wrist grabbed by someone from behind.
She turned her head in surprise and saw that the black-haired young man also stepped forward quickly, looked at her eyes closely, and replied, "I will always be the Urs you know, both in the past and now."
After saying that, he let go of Xia's slender wrist, left the girl who was stupidly stunned by the door in the old study, and followed the knock to the door of the living room of the cottage alone.
He had broken the broken door of the abandoned house in the first place, and now he had taken the time to go to the city's commercial district early yesterday morning to hire an apprentice craftsman to install it temporarily.
The apprentice was poorly skilled and relatively cheap, and the door-to-door service cost him 10 silver coins, including the errands, the equivalent of a poor family's cumulative purchase of a thousand loaves of bread over the course of several months.
Urs shook his head, threw the embarrassment out of his mind, reached out and opened the door in front of him, and then saw a familiar figure standing outside the door of the room that he had only met two days ago.
The man was an old man with curly brown hair, and the scratches of time had carved a few slender folds on his face, but he was wearing a suit of leather ring armor at this time, and he did not look out of shape at all with age, and on either side of his shoulders were the straps of two backpacks, and on both sides of the hook belt at his waist were several short swords and daggers of different lengths, and a light crossbow of dark green hung upside down.
"Gloridon?" Urs recognized him immediately, looked at his outfit, and smiled through his mouth.
"Boy, didn't you say you'd give me two days to think about it?" Glalaydon stared at him face-to-face and said, "Now, I've thought about it. ”
