...... Listen to the voice of the heart?

Richard was stunned for a moment. What the hell is that?

"That's an artistic way of saying it. After all, it's a genre that's been around for hundreds of years, and it's still quite thriving, and for generations, the Borgia family has had a tradition of inviting bards to compose hymns for them—one of the things I heard as a child. ”

The knightess explained.

"Overall, though, it's not an exaggeration. In short, I can find out the energy that people have hidden in their hearts and determine how far they can go when they are stimulated. ”

She held up a finger.

"The principle is that a person with a mind can actually have a 'resonance phenomenon' - that is, both parties can feel each other's presence, and even know more about their physical condition, their location, and the state of what they see and hear, as long as both parties know each other, there is a certain connection."

"Of course, the premise of 'resonance' is that there is no resistance on either side, and it is very difficult to force resonance, even if there is a hierarchy gap between the two parties. Since people who instinctively stimulate their minds can generally reach the rank of master or above, they ...... This is off topic, but in any case such examples are very rare. ”

Richard was about to lose control of his surprise.

This...... Is this the Force?!

It turns out that the knights above the rank of master are all Jedi?

Naturally, Joan could not understand her master's shock, and went on to explain:

"The school of swordsmanship I studied was even more special. The so-called being able to listen to people's inner voices is actually equivalent to a special kind of resonance-"

"The phenomenon of resonance is a form of application of the mind, which, since its discovery in classical times, has been used in a primitive way, although it has indeed been circulated among the various schools; Only the founder of Borgia swordsmanship took a different approach, making the phenomenon of resonance the core of the technique of mindfulness. Until then, it had been used simply and crudely as a means of interfering with the physical world. ”

"The reason why the founder at that time was so insistent was actually because only by actively using the effect of resonance could he use his 'mind' to feel the tiniest level of vibration in the world, and then use magic to indulge its frequency and intensity."

“...... Your family heirloom swordsmanship is the same cut-down swordsmanship you used to deal with Howard's twist, right? ”

"Not bad. That's probably the only gift my father gave me. Miss Bolkiah sighed, "Although he didn't teach me personally, he can allow the female members of the family to cultivate, which can be regarded as a ...... of the net."

"In short, the generations of the Borgia family have developed other uses based on this. For example, in this way, the talents of the disciples of the subordinates and schools are tested—this is to touch the latent energy within them according to the principle of mental resonance. ”

"Wait, doesn't it mean that the mind can only be activated after the master rank? Like me, I don't even perceive the so-called 'mind' ...... right now."

"No, there's this energy in everyone's heart."

Joan shook her head.

“...... You're saying that everybody actually has a mind? ”

"Well, it's just that there's a lot of potential. And only by embarking on the path of an extraordinary person who cultivates mind consciousness can it be possible to activate it. ”

"It sounds like I'm far away from where I am now."

"It's okay, anyway, what the lord cares about more is the 'mind' book, right? Let's just get straight to the point. ”

She smiled.

"I didn't expect you to make such a choice, though. It's really worthy of being a former god-sama, and it's completely different from ordinary mortal wizards in terms of courage. ”

“...... Is it? ”

Richard really didn't expect this kind of flattering angle, and he didn't think there was anything special about it at all.

"I just did what I had to do. In my opinion, shamans are people who seek the truth of the material world, and experimentation is the best way to do it. ”

"You're right. For human wizards, human experimentation is really common. Compared with the dark wizard, the difference is only that one has scruples and will buy slaves and communicate with the authorities to exchange criminals, and the other will attack anyone and be unscrupulous. In my opinion, the essence is the same. ”

"You think that's too cruel?"

"Why, I don't have an opinion, this practice does objectively promote the advancement of magic technology, but I have never seen any wizard willing to start with the choice of himself - even if there are some things that need to be experienced firsthand, it is the best thing to do."

"The knights tend to laugh at the wizard's lack of courage, and the wizard in turn mocks the knights for being a bunch of dead heads of rotten wood, which is relatively ancient; I disagree with either, but on the other hand, both make sense. At least in my opinion, the Black Tower is such a place that lacks courage and courage. ”

“...... You're here for the first time, right? ”

"There are certain things in this world, like a certain twilight atmosphere that lingers over a certain place, that I can recognize at a glance."

Miss Borgia looked Richard straight in the eye.

"Because, it's all too familiar to me. When I was young, I spent a long time in the Great Sanctuary, which was a place that was rotten, stubborn, inflexible, and one day would drown with tradition.

"The only thing that makes the Great Sanctum stronger than this wizarding tower is that there is now a leader who wields great power and unshakable authority, and at the same time has the ability to execute and innovate; The Magic Tower, on the other hand, lacks a true core. If this continues, the Black Tower, which was once brilliant for a while, and one of the three towers of the stars, will slowly decay in the prevarication and ridicule of several high-level leaders, and will be annihilated in the dust of history. ”

...... It turns out that this girl is talking a lot of rambling, just to argue for herself the legitimacy of seizing power?

"Understood, I see what you mean."

Richard sighed.

"So, let's get started."

The female knight lightly touched the forehead of the man after removing his mask; At the same time, in order to better immerse herself in mental awareness, she closed her eyes slightly.

And at that moment, an electric current crept up her spinal cord rapidly; Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and Miss Borgia couldn't help but widen her eyes as she had never felt before.

At the same time, countless images crashed into her brain, and she was swallowed up before she could react, and for a moment she almost forgot her own breathing-

"W-What is this?"

"What kind of place is this?!"

"Could it be...... Is it the kingdom of God? ”
