Act 10: The Soul Master (Part I)

But in the end, Su Chen still couldn't ask anything from these tongues.

These guys didn't seem to know much, and they were just ordinary people who took money to do things, so until the end, Su Chen still couldn't figure out why that Buder sent someone to assassinate him. Could it be that he is also a member of the vampire forces? Or did you accidentally provoke him somewhere? Su Chen frowned and was silent, then he suddenly looked at the soldiers on the side who had not recovered from the battle just now, and then said: "Then I will leave first, two gentlemen - the wilderness at night is not safe, so I hope you can go back to the city as soon as possible, so as not to encounter trolls again." ”

Blake nodded, but when he saw his companions who had fallen to the ground and lost their lives, he felt only a moment of fear. Maybe...... I'm not going to be an adventurer anymore.

Su Chen returned to the city of Castle before the night became darker. There is also a Deep Summer City further west of Kasong City, where Su Chen can take a boat to the Shipwreck Island—he already plans to go to Deep Summer City after receiving the inheritance of the Arcane Spirit Master from Heathera—Kasong City is not impossible to travel to the same destination by boat, but it is the height of summer, and the storm from the sea is wreaking havoc. Starting from Kasong City, he had to pass through a stormy sea area, so Su Chen decided to take a detour for the sake of his own life.

As for the mad mage who assassinated himself? Although Su Chen is still a rookie with good strength, he is still a rookie after all, and he is still unable to deal with a mage who studies crazy fluctuations, so as long as he doesn't continue to provoke himself, Su Chen will still look at this matter with the mentality of hiding if he can.

Of course, if he provoked his own head, there would still be such a necessary resistance, and Su Chen felt that he might need to buy some more high-level spell scrolls and equipment.

Thinking of the money that was about to flow out, Su Chen was a big head.

After returning to Heathera's Mage Tower, Su Chen finally completed Heathera's mission. Then the next few days were the process of peaceful spell experiments - what made Su Chen's egg painful was that the spell steps he had already done and understood would not provide additional experience points, and only experience points would be credited when he conducted unknown research. This also made Su Chen, who planned to brush up on experience here, give up this tempting idea.

A week later, Heathera's experiment was a success. At this time, the lady looked at the green liquid in a bottle and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. And a look of doubt flashed in Su Chen's eyes: "This potion is not completely used for treatment, is it?" ”

During the time he was helping Heathera in her research, Su Chen also roughly understood the process of this experiment. If it is used to treat a person's pain, the power of this potion is inevitably too great. If an ordinary person used this potion, he would probably not take long to be killed by the abundant vitality - the power of this potion was no joke, and ordinary people could not bear the effect of this potion at all.

Even the meat of the trolls is considered an ordinary consumable in it.

"Of course not." Heathera laughed, "I don't mean to save anyone, and no one needs my rescue. If anyone has the time to ask me to develop a potion, it would be better to go to the priest of the good god, I'm afraid it's already alive and well. ”

As she spoke, Heathera put the potion away, "Of course, I'm not unsure of your curiosity, but what are you going to exchange it for?" ”

Do you follow the principle of equivalent exchange no matter what happens? These mages are really ...... Su Chen shook his head helplessly, and then said, "Forget it, my curiosity is not that heavy. Now, Lady Heathera, will you be able to fulfill your promise to give me knowledge of arcane and psionic powers? ”

"I can give you knowledge of both arcane and psionic powers, so please come with me." With that, Heathera took Su Chen to a study. Su Chen had been here a few times before, and he would also use money to buy knowledge here in his spare time during the experiment, but this time Hecera took Su Chen into the deeper study. There was a lot of dusty knowledge here, and Heathera walked around the study, and finally stood in front of Su Chen, and said, "I think the valuable books on arcane and psychic are here, you can read them as much as you want." But be careful about the time – you only have 7 days as you get paid for working for me. ”

"Seven days...... Su Chen nodded to show that he had understood: "I will cherish this time." ”

Heathera smiled, then said, "Then I will prepare a place for you to read in peace." ”

After leaving such words, Su Chen was arranged by Heathera to a room where he could study seriously. Looking at the piles of books in front of me—do I have to read them all once? Su Chen opened one of them with a headache. Then he saw that it was tingling with jerky, incomprehensible words—the study of psychic abilities was always accompanied by a variety of words that were so idealistic that, when combined, was even more uncomfortable than reading a book on philosophy.

Feeling the pain, converging the mind—this is certainly the simplest use of psychic powers, but how to experience greater pain? And how to restrain the mind to be the most efficient? There's a doorway to it. So after studying these books for a whole day, Su Chen had to admit one thing, that is, the psychic ability is really not something that ordinary people can use. It was even more difficult for a race without talent to use the psychic ability, and Su Chen had to admit that he had found many useful ways to exercise his mind, but he couldn't use it at all.

For example, absorbing other people's gray matter - Su Chen almost squirted out when he saw this explanation, is this because he is a spirit sucking monster? Even if he brought the gray matter in front of him, what could he gain other than to eat it as dinner? This is not the old Chinese medicine theory of what to eat and what to supplement.

Moreover, eating human gray matter is too ......

Shaking his head, Su Chen threw this thought out of his mind. His attention was focused on the rest of the theoretical knowledge.

Just as Su Chen was carefully studying the information, he suddenly heard a 'ding' sound, as if someone had struck a bell in his ear. He subconsciously looked around, but all he saw was the room in the still-silent mage tower. He also noticed that the magic lamps were lit up around him at some point, and when he looked up at the window, he realized that night had already fallen—he had been reading books all day.
