Chapter 68, Chapter 69, Chapter 70: Psychic Controllers and Treasures
(PS: I fell asleep yesterday and wrote it, and I'll be there later.) )
The girl is just naïve, she is not stupid, and because of her race, she has a peculiar intuition that can sense a certain emotion of the people around her, either malicious or kind.
Just now, the moment this human raised her eyes to look at her, she felt as if even her mind was frozen, it was a horror that went deep into the bone marrow, it was a great terror between life and death, and she didn't even have thoughts at that moment.
But fortunately, this horror came and went quickly, but it disappeared in just a moment, if it weren't for the fact that the girl was still sweating all over, she even felt that her intuition just now was just an illusion.
When Hao smiled and spoke, the girl felt that her hands and feet were soft, she was also open-minded by nature, she actually walked into the room, found a chair and sat down directly, and said: "You scared me just now, and I am still weak in my hands and feet." ”
Hao was stunned, and then his face became calm, his eyes were dark, as deep as the night sky, he stared at the girl for a while, and the girl suddenly had goosebumps all over her body again, and at the same time, her body was sweating like pulp, and she recovered after a while.
Hao was silent for a long time, and then muttered: "Mental power controller......"
The girl had been trapped in the terrifying senses just now, and she hadn't come back to her senses for a while, and when Hao said the mental power controller, her whole person was still stunned.
The girl was stunned, but Hao didn't, because he knew what a mental power controller was.
In magic, or in other legal professions, many of the spells involve spirits, consciousness, thoughts, and even souls, and a profound magician can easily play with the senses and minds of living beings, and many of them are mentioned in operas about these evil magicians or magicians.
In addition to the legal professions, there are also some dangerous underground races that are also good at spiritual magic or soul magic, such as the Mind Flayer, the Brain Demon and the like, and they can even enslave hundreds of thousands of mindless slaves to expand their realm.
And many races in the lower planes, such as demons and demons, or mental demons, etc., are masters of spirit and soul magic.
But the spiritual power controller is different, the so-called spiritual power controller, so far it is still an existence that has not been thoroughly proven, Hao is only occasionally seen in several information books describing the Great War of the Ten Thousand Races.
The so-called psychic controllers, they do not rely on magic, spells, or innate magic to control the mind and consciousness, they rely on their own mental power, it is said that the mental barrier of the psychic power controller is extroverted and open.
It is mentioned in many magical works that any life has a spiritual barrier, which is the guarantee that defines the essence of life, and any life or even non-life has it, which is both protection and imprisonment, and the individual's spirit and consciousness are blocked in the depths of their own spiritual sea, and they are isolated from all other lives, so each life lives alone.
There are some special races that rely on acquired methods, they can bypass this spiritual barrier, so that the race has the so-called collective consciousness, unity consciousness and other main consciousness, but in these races, except for the superiors, the other people are actually mindless slaves.
"The deepest part of the soul accumulates a sea of infinite abyss, the spiritual barrier is not only the imprisonment of life and freedom, but also the most essential guarantee of life, allowing individual life to survive, and at the same time making us unable to perceive the most real darkness and horror of this universe, so that we can stay away from the countless indescribable horrors. ”
This is a passage from a magic book written by a legendary magician, and after reading more and more books, Hao is more and more convinced of this, because this universe is really too terrifying, and without the protection of the psychic barrier, any life can die anytime and anywhere, even more terrifying than death.
In those books that describe the Great War of the Races, it is occasionally mentioned that there will be some sporadic low-latitude erosion bodies without warning, they have not been exposed to low-latitude, and they do not know the information of low-latitudes, they are the most ordinary ordinary people, but suddenly one day, they are eroded by low-latitudes, without warning, without any reason, and then they become "gates", and a large area around them is turned into a low-latitude erosion land, and every time this situation occurs, it often causes extremely terrible disasters.
This is also the reason why there has always been a magician speculating that there is a mental power controller, but there has been no evidence, the characteristic of the mental power controller is that their mental barrier is extroverted, and when they are weak, they can keenly feel the kindness and malice of the people around them, and then as time passes, their telepathy becomes more and more powerful and keen, they can use their mental power to talk directly with other lives, and they can transmit what they see and hear to the minds of other lives, just like what they see and hear, as their spiritual power continues to rise, they can even use mental power to scan everything around them, which is a scanning method that even magic can't shield, pictures, sounds, colors, etc. can all be scanned into the mind.
At this point, the spiritual power controller is already very powerful, it can be said to be a battlefield killer, if a mental power controller participates in the battle of 10,000 people, it can make any army increase the combat power by more than 30%, can easily probe any secret privacy, and is unrivaled in business, and can even easily view any magician's magic tower and any book, it can be said that the spiritual power controller at this step has almost an infinite and broad future, and the achievements are limitless.
Even further psychic power controllers, their psychic consciousness begins to move towards the otherworldly realm, they can control thousands of people with their minds, they can distort or tear the psychic consciousness of a legendary magician to pieces in one breath, unless it is a demigod, igniting a divine fire, lighting the light of the mind, otherwise any creature below the demigod may not be able to even struggle when facing them.
Their minds are even so powerful that they can distort real matter, confuse the difference between the real and the unreal, turn illusion into reality, reverse life and death, and even more powerful, and even create a world between the illusory and the real, just like the creator god.
However, there is no mental power controller who can grow to this point, because their mental barrier is extroverted, in this world, they are the creatures that are most easily perceived by low-latitude existences, even if they have never been exposed to low-latitudes, they can easily hear the moans and whispers of low-latitudes, and then before they learn how to control their mental power, they have been corroded by low-latitudes, from an existence with unlimited potential to a low-latitude time bomb.
The girl in front of Hao is such a mental power controller, although she is still very weak at the level of mental power controllers, and can only feel the kindness and malice of the outside world, but there is no doubt that she has shown signs of a mental power controller.
(Yes, her mother is likely to be a primordial tree spirit, a natural druid, and her father may be the Marquis of Frontier Houferi, a high-level magician, it is impossible for them not to be aware of their child's abnormality, and with the dual protection of the magician and the druid, she can indeed block the whispers of low latitudes when she is weak, look closely, the jewelry on her body is all magical wonders, maybe these magical wonders are more to shield her spiritual power...... )
Hao looked at the girl carefully, he had some pity in his heart, because as the spiritual power controller grows older, the spiritual power will naturally increase infinitely, sooner or later, her parents will no longer be able to give her any shelter, and at that time, she will face the incomparable black abyss at low latitudes, at that time, she is afraid that it will be difficult for her to die, God knows what kind of horror she will experience......
"Miss, is there anything I can do to help you?" Hao said again.
The girl gasped a few times, then smiled and said: "Now your words are much more sincere than before, to be honest, your murderous intent is too heavy, I have met someone like you for the first time since I was a child, and I have a killing intent in my heart, and I will act immediately? ”
Hao is a little funny, and a little helpless, how well this girl is protected, magicians, or legal professionals are indeed noble, above the path of other professionals, but that refers to the potential for development and the fields that can be involved, purely in terms of combat effectiveness, war professionals are not without extremely powerful, for example, there are ancient blood warriors in the ancient orcs lineage, which is extremely rare, but the combat power is so strong that the career path of perversion, and if a magician does not cast protective magic in advance, and face to face with a warrior in close quarters, it will be directly dead, which has nothing to do with the magician itself, but has something to do with combat power and limitations。
"Miss, is there anything I can do to help you?" Hao asked for the third time.
The girl looked left and right at this time, she wrinkled her nose and said: "It's really strange, you are just an ordinary confession, and you live in this kind of room where servants live, nothing special, and it doesn't look like a spy in the underworld camp, why does that high-level magician of the dark elves communicate with you all the time with magic? You must know that this is likely to expose her privacy, is she a magician, or a girl...... Do you say ......"
Hao's eyes were slightly sharp, he knew that if he let the outside world know that he had signed a master-servant contract with the elves, and he was the master and the elves were servants, then he would definitely die without a place to be buried, and even in order to protect the elves who signed a contract with him, he was likely to become immortal, such as living corpse specimens......
"You're the human lover of the Dark Elves!?" the girl said suddenly, gasping for breath.
Hao almost fell directly to the ground, his thoughts kept flickering, and he smiled bitterly: "Miss is a nobleman, naturally I should know that as a human being, if I am found out by the outside world to have a relationship with an elf nobleman, what awaits me is definitely death without a place to be buried, my lover...... My love, she will definitely be ruined, which is why I have murderous intent towards Miss just now, because...... I have to protect her, even if I die, I will never let her be ruined, but you are also innocent, Miss, so I have no murderous intent in the future, and I am really desperate in the end, I will kill myself to save her reputation......"
When he said this, Hao used his control over his spirit, will, and memory, and used self-hypnosis to convince himself that the words he said were true, and he also brought in the feelings in the dream that he couldn't recall before, and the words he said for a while really seemed to be true.
The girl looked at Hao carefully for a while, she was silent, and after a few seconds, she suddenly smiled at Hao and said: "I know, don't worry, I don't have any discrimination against human beings, to be honest, they are all intelligent creatures, and I can't understand why you humans are so humble, why they treat you like this, but life is the same...... Don't worry, I'll keep this secret for you!"
Hao said sincerely: "Thank you, miss, you are a kind-hearted and noble person, I will definitely remember your kindness." ”
The girl grinned, she wrinkled her nose again, and said to Hao: "The smell here is really problematic, why don't we change the room?" To be honest, your lover is really a little selfish, she is already a high-level magician, what if others find out that she is better to humans? Who dares to say anything more? is afraid of some gossip, so he actually let his lover live in this servant's room...... Don't talk about it, change the room, and tell me about you and your lover?"
Hao showed an embarrassed expression, and said in a hesitant but firm tone: "Miss, please forgive my refusal, this is the room she booked for me, I can't leave, and, she ...... I don't want anyone else to know about us, I'm sorry, miss. ”
The girl stood up and took two steps, she was really annoyed by the smell here, so she said, "Then I will go, I will keep this matter secret for you, but not without a price...... When will you tell me the story of how you met your lover, and when will it be considered the end of my secret matter, in short, today is a banquet, and I will go back. With that, the girl turned and walked towards the gate.
Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but the surface was silent, the girl walked to the gate, she suddenly turned back to Hao and said: "By the way, my name is Nianzhi, remember, when I come to the door in the future, don't pretend not to know me." After saying that, the girl waved her hand and walked freely to the end of the aisle and disappeared.
It wasn't until the girl had been gone for a long time that Hao silently closed the door and sat back in his chair, his face unchanged, but he closed his eyes and continued to listen to the voice from Ey's side.
At this time, Ay said in a slightly anxious voice, "What happened just now? Why can't I hear your voice anymore? Is something going on?"
Hao replied softly: "It's nothing, there are some small things, let's talk about it in detail when you come back, has the banquet officially started now?"
Ay paused, and then passed on the voice: "Soon, the border marquis has already appeared, with his wife, a noble daughter of the forest spirit clan, the border marquis is really an old high-level magician, he has at least seven or eight magical wonders on his body, and even his magician badge has magic traces, tsk, it's really rich......
Hao listened to Ae's words, he responded without a word, but what was on his mind was what the girl had thought before.
The accident that appeared this time,In essence, he was careless,Magic is the power of this world,And it is the greatest power of learning,In addition to fighting,It can be used in many aspects of life and production,Even the power of magic can also be used for the jump in the essence of life,For example, some big nobles and rich people,Ordinary mortals themselves,But they rely on wealth and power,Naturally, they can let magicians configure life potions for them,Even use some forbidden magic to increase lifespan,Enhance physique,Like。
So he should have thought that after letting Ai use the connection magic, it is likely that he will be discovered by other magicians in this banquet, and this may lead to the leakage of secrets, of course, a high-level magician naturally has many privileges, and those who understand will ignore it, otherwise the majesty of a high-level magician will not be wanted?
It's just that it's hard to guarantee that there is no stunned young man like Nian Zhi who has to find out why, this is an accident, and accidents are Hao's most annoying thing, and it is likely that his plan will fail because of accidents, so he will definitely be cautious in the future.
At the same time, the appearance of this thought also gave Hao two choices now, the first choice is to make up some lies that seem to be true and false, send this thought away, and then gradually break off the relationship, similar to this kind of aristocratic lady, in fact, it is a fresh picture, after understanding the process, I will gradually feel bored.
This choice is better than safety, as long as it doesn't matter, it is unlikely that she will expose her so-called "truth" for no reason in the future.
There is a second option, that is, to get in touch with this thought, to arouse its curiosity, and gradually deepen the relationship, and it is best to let it join the collective, which is naturally very disadvantageous, that is, the secrets of the collective are likely to be revealed, and even if they are not revealed, they must find ways to conceal them.
The reason why Hao has the idea of a second choice, the key is actually the identity of the mental power controller of Nianzhi, a mental power controller, it is simply too important for a team, there is no just, I found such a grown up mental power controller, if you give up Hao, you are really unwilling, whether it is a mental power link, or a mental power scan, or even the simplest kind and malicious intent, these are things that many magic can't do, it can be said that it is really a qualitative change for the team to strengthen, especially the next exploration of the spiritual magician ruins, if there is a spiritual power controller, Hao even dares to lead the team to continue to explore now。
However, in order for Nianzhi to join the team, there are several special problems that need to be solved, the first is that the problem of possible leaks must be solved, the second, Nianzhi is a noble girl with a family background, and it is impossible to join the adventure group, and third, Nianzhi's identity as a mental power controller is a time bomb in itself, and if it is eroded, the entire team will be in danger.
The first problem and the second problem are actually not a big problem in Hao's opinion, if it is definitely the biggest problem in normal times, he will directly choose to give up Nianzhi, the spiritual power controller, but the current situation is that the underworld camp has blocked the border of the Elf Empire in a grand manner, and it may come on a large scale at any time, in this case, the border of the Plant Alliance may fall into war at any time.
Hao asked Ai Yi to put forward a military proposal for a semi-magic cannon, the first is naturally to make money, and the second reason is actually to strengthen the strength of this border, to be honest, Hao doesn't think that the plant alliance army on this border alone can resist the attack of the underworld camp.
Judging from the information of the first Ten Thousand Races War that Hao knows, the major forces and camps in the lower plane, their strength is actually stronger than that of the ten thousand races in the Flood Continent, basically a lower plane force, it takes an empire to be able to barely match, this is still barely matched, the three most powerful forces in the lower plane, the bottomless abyss, Bato Hell, Purgatory, these three major forces, but also need several alliances formed by the top 100 of the ten thousand races to be able to match, the first ten thousand races war, after the mother tree of life was burned, the forces of the lower plane raged on the Flood Continent, I don't know how many races ancestral land was broken, how many races are about to be wiped out, and even the clansmen of many races have been taken to the lower plane, and the forces of the lower plane are extremely powerful.
If the underworld camp really comes completely, unless the elven empire can unite as one and show the true strength and heritage of the elven clan, otherwise even the elven clan itself is dangerous, not to mention the many vassals of the elf clan, Hao never believes that the plant alliance can resist the underworld camp on its own, even if the underworld camp does not send a regular army, it is not a border area that can be resisted, and this place will be invaded by the underworld camp sooner or later.
If the border defense is broken, and the underworld camp invades this side, then this will immediately be a place of war, and if the border Hou sees the opportunity quickly, he will have the opportunity to escape into the mainland, but this loss of land and defense will also be punished heavily, fortunately, this border is a high-level magician, and the power belongs to itself, and the alliance does not dare to force and punish it too much, at most it is a fine and a penalty, and his life is fined, relying on the identity of a high-level magician, there will be a time to recover in the future.
But if you are not happy to see the opportunity, then this border may be dead, the underworld camp needs a large number of souls, grievances, curses, etc., and the soul of a high-level magician is like a gem treasure for the underworld camp, and it will never give up easily, so the life and death of the border wait is only five or five.
If the border marquis died, then there will be no more problems with the first problem and the second problem, and at that time, if Hao accepts her into the team, this will be recognized by him, which is benevolent and righteous.
As for saving the border waiter, saving her father or something, or that sentence, what is Hao? What qualifications does a mere human being have to make suggestions for the entire alliance? One is that there is no way to advise, the second is that he is a human being, that is, he can really make suggestions, not to mention whether to listen to or not to listen to the border, just talking is a blasphemy against all races, I don't know how many people will kill him and then quickly, and deal with him through various private methods, so Hao took advantage of Ai's proposal and took out a semi-magic cannon, which is already the limit of what he can do, as for asking him to save the border Hou or something...... Is it true that he is a holy god?
As for the third problem, this is actually the core and fundamental problem, the spiritual power controller will never be able to get around, once the spiritual power is discovered by the low-latitude hidden existence, it will immediately be a catastrophe, not only is the dilemma of life and death, but the collective will also be destroyed because of this.
If you want to bring Nian Zhi into the team, then this problem is a matter of life and death, and Hao must solve it before he can make up his mind.
“...... Ai Yi is already a high-level magician, with me to analyze the magic for her, analyze the true meaning of the runes, her heart magic array that condenses super magic skills will be extremely easy, and the speed is far beyond any magician's imagination, if she really gets the floating magic tower of the spirit magician, then she may be able to become a legendary magician in five years, a legendary magician, enough to shelter the spiritual power of Nian Zhi to the spiritual power link and spiritual power scanning step...... But ......"
Hao shook his head slightly, but people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? If it comes to the most critical moment and let people die on the spot, Hao will not hesitate, and even he can die himself, let alone others?
But if you don't treat it sincerely, you only treat the members who join the team as consumables, use them when they are useful, discard them when they are useless, or even kill them, this kind of thing is beyond Hao's psychological bottom line, unless he can solve the hidden danger of the mental power controller of Nianzhi, otherwise he will not let him join the team.
“...... It seems that he can only give up this mental power controller. Hao thought silently, in the end, it was impossible to think, so he could only make this decision.
Is...... It's a pity, the mental power controller, it's a pity that he doesn't have any way to affect the low latitudes, that's a place where the living are not allowed to enter, let alone influence, just knowing it is possible...... Know...... Wait, wait!
Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a possibility, at low latitudes, it may not be impossible to match, or even suppress the existence of those hidden existences, such as...... That Venerable !!
Since the beginning of the commercial alliance, invincible, invincible, war legend, war demigod, war spirit position, war holy position, with the body of the non-holy god, swept the two major alliances, achieved the capital of the overlord, and then it was an envoy to the elf race, participating in the battle of the silver land, and then it was out of control, it can almost be said that it swept the flood continent with the body of a human being, and suppressed the entire diversity, in the end, to meet the two emperors of the East Heaven as a person, and pulled the two emperors into the low latitude, although they also entered the low latitude, but this unparalleled hero is indeed admired by everyone。
Such an existence, even if it is in a low latitude, Hao believes that this Venerable can definitely be above any secret existence, and the gift he has received is an absolute proof, if that Venerable is corrupted by the secret existence and low latitude, then he will not be able to get a gift, and it is impossible to have the strength of a third-order warrior today, that Venerable will inevitably still be heroic and unmatched in the low latitude.
If......
Nianzhi has the protection of the Venerable One, who can help her to shelter the erosion and prying eyes of the hidden existence!?
Could it be that Nian Zhi is the only spiritual power controller in history who can grow unhindered!?
Hao's heart pounded, and for a moment he felt as if he had dug up a huge treasure.
