Chapter 750: Battleship Leap
"Whether or not you can get the inheritance of His Excellency Carol depends on whether the friendship between you is deep enough, and the old monk can't do anything about it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After saying this, Master Eugen returned to his indifference.
"The master has helped me a lot, and I am grateful for it." Roland bowed respectfully to the old warrior monk in accordance with the etiquette of the Gizelle people.
Master Eugen's statement that "passing power may lead to a decline in power" is, in the language of the game, "losing experience points or even dropping levels". A legendary figure like Carol, it is very difficult to cultivate to every realm (level) that is promoted, if it takes such a big price to open up the qi pool, to be honest, even his own son will hesitate, he really has no face to make such a non-cent request to others, unless there is some kind of exchange of interests.
Roland knows exactly what to pay to achieve the goal, and political marriages, for example, are a good place to start. He could also guess that Prince Carol was expecting him to make such a deal, but in his heart he was very disgusted with using marriage as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits, and it was not worth doing such a degrading deal in order to obtain a true qi inheritance that was the icing on the cake.
Thinking of Veronica, as well as Nikita, Lyudmila and many other confidants, Roland couldn't help but feel a deep shame for his chaotic love life, even if he cultivated "self-hypnosis" to the highest level, he couldn't escape this problem.
……
Sailing in the astral plane, unless you encounter an abnormal natural disaster such as a psychic storm, or a pirate attack, you will not feel the slightest bump. The hull of the ship crossed the starry sky at a constant speed, and the scenery outside the porthole was always so monotonous and empty, Roland couldn't help but fall asleep after watching it for a long time.
In the hammock opposite, the fat man Otto had fallen asleep, and the snoring reminded Roland of those nights in the university dormitory.
Bidding farewell to Master Eugen and returning to the cabin, he flipped through the two volumes of the Upanishads, and had a little experience, but it still took a long time to master the essence of them.
"Psionic Meditation" requires a quick entry into the realm of no external objects, and he can't do it yet, but ordinary "Psionic Concentration" is not difficult, and this is actually an extension based on the "Concentration" skill. His concentration skills were high enough that he spent a few seconds concentrating, and soon cleared out distracting thoughts, and his soul seemed to break away from his heavy body and look at the world from a higher dimension, and for a moment, he even "saw" the scene behind his head. Unfortunately, when he tried to confirm that it was not a hallucination, the mysterious feeling slipped away.
"Is this what Master Eugen called 'Spiritual Sense'?" Roland relaxes and reminisces about what he just felt.
Before the crossing, he had heard of legends such as psychics, yin and yang eyes, people with keen spiritual sense can see ghosts that ordinary people cannot perceive with the naked eye, and can even communicate with ghosts through telepathy, as a good young man of the new era who has never seen ghosts and has received materialist education since childhood, at that time he was not impressed by these strange stories, suspecting that it was either a psychological hallucination, or a superstitious concept that people had in order to explain some unknown natural phenomena.
Having traveled to Vares, seen ghosts and ghosts and other imaginary or spirit-body undead creatures, and been exposed to the wonderful power of "psychic powers", which, frankly, if he still adheres to atheism, is in itself contrary to the principle of materialism and seeking truth from facts.
In retrospect, the Earth is probably a demon-free or low-magic world that has not yet been connected to the magic web, at least not to be fully connected, but psionic energy, unlike magic, has existed in the east and west of the earth since ancient times. Those who claim to have yin and yang eyes and can see ghosts are not necessarily lying, Roland is now back on Earth, and his magic is estimated to be completely useless, but the spiritual energy pool is still there, and he can still enter the "spiritual energy concentration" to exert his spiritual sense, and he is still a superpower. If you continue to practice psychic abilities, it will not be difficult to reach the level of an exorcist or onmyoji on Earth.
As for the scene behind the head that I saw in a flash of inspiration just now, it was not an illusion, it was the spiritual energy that naturally radiated to the outside of the body when it was highly concentrated, and the senses extended with it, and the vision broke through the limitations of the physiological perspective, but this kind of accidental spiritual perception was not stable, and if we wanted to stabilize it, we had to refine it into a spiritual ability "global vision". Most of the psychic abilities that have been handed down since ancient times have developed from accidental inspiration to fixed patterns, and from this point of view, it makes sense that Master Eugen advocated "inspiration" and "epiphany".
Just as they were thinking, a green light lit up on the roof of the cabin, reminding passengers that the ship's power plant had been recharged and that space teleportation was about to begin.
The power plant of the Astral Battleship is similar to that of the main material realm warship's engine, which is powered by a magic crystal driven steam engine. It's just that the engine is more sophisticated, more powerful, and the astral environment is special, so it can approach the speed of sound when flying at full speed.
Of course, such a sailing speed is very fast in the main material realm, but in the vast and boundless star boundary, there is actually no essential difference from unpowered sailing, and it is only suitable for traveling between adjacent stars.
For a planetary cruiser like the "Tempering", which is 100 yards long from beginning to end and has a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, it is not a small project to carry out the transmission as a whole. Each teleportation requires burning a large amount of magic crystals in advance for energy reserves, and even if there are enough magic crystals to consume, considering the long charging time, it will be teleported at most two or three times a day.
The green ceiling light flashes continuously, and the frequency becomes more and more rapid.
Roland patted Otto and woke the fat man up.
"Don't sleep, the battleship is about to jump, beware of falling."
"Aha?" Otto was sleepy-eyed and a little dazed.
At that moment, the ceiling light suddenly went out, and in its place, a multicolored aura lit up outside the window.
Roland looked through the porthole and saw from a distance the space of the "Tempering" at a distance of 1,000 feet in front of the bow of the "Tempering", cracking a five-colored stellar portal.
The "Tempering" slid straight towards the portal, and the hull began to shake slightly, and the porthole suddenly became pitch black, as if falling into a spinning inkwell.
The hammock was reversed by a concussion, and Roland pulled Otto in time to save him from being slapped flat on the floor.
After a brief period of dizziness, the battleship returned to its poise, and the silver-gray star luster was re-lit outside the window. At this time, Roland knew that the teleportation had been successfully completed, and the battleship had traveled hundreds of light-years to the central region of the Godfall Star Domain, where he would join Laputa, the flagship of the "Tower in the Clouds Fleet", the legacy of the ancient Arcane Empire and the symbol of Lighthouse Mountain, which had long been stationed here.
