The hairy camel endemic to Atas looks similar to the camels of the earth, but slightly larger. With only one hump, they are over 8 feet tall when standing upright, and they can carry thousands of pounds with ease, making them true ships of the desert.

Muhadi is not like others, who have to bring a lot of goods to the city. He was only allowed to book a small package, which contained some gold Tyr coins and weapons such as scimitars, bows, and arrows.

Due to the unpredictable weather in the desert, it can take many days to travel in case of a sandstorm. The butchers of the tribe killed several old horses, took their intestines, and washed them. He cut the ribs of the horse into strips of meat, and together with the ribs, he added salt and various spices, poured them into the intestines of the horses more than 3 feet long, tied them tightly at both ends, and dried them to make the famous horse intestines of the desert. Although it doesn't look good, it's calorie-rich and easy to preserve, making it a favorite of the Buraku.

When he had packed up everything, Muhadi thought about it again and took out the magic book that had been brought out of the desert and belonged to the previous owner of the body.

Saying that it is a magic book, in fact, Muhadi himself is not sure, but Fahd said so. However, there is something magical about the book, and even now, Muhathir does not recognize the meaning of the words on it. Secondly, the content of the book seems to change by itself, and the content of the same page is completely different when viewed twice.

However, Muhathir still has some clues, although the image that falls on his eyes changes every time. However, the smell and sound of the words on the pages are the same every time, which seems to indicate that the content of the book is actually fixed. It's just that there is some spell attached to the book that makes it impossible for people to accurately remember the images on it, but this can't hide his synaesthesia.

After much thought, the boy decided to take the book with him. Although it seems to be of little use at the moment, it is said that there are many people in Tyre, and it is possible that they will find a way to read it. As for leaving the book in the tribe, Muhadi felt that it was too dangerous, and he might be able to return when he would.

For some unknown reason, on Muhadi's fourth trip to the Temple of Dust, it was rare that Lyra did not use psionic energy to create illusions. Instead, he teleported the boy directly from the Black Forest into the stone chamber.

To his surprise, this time, Aisha didn't come. Tianqin didn't talk about the reason, Muhati wanted to ask several times, but the old woman was vague.

The ability to read minds, which may sound mysterious and powerful, is actually an ability shared by all intelligent life in the world. All people, or elves, dwarves, or any sapient beings, can sense the emotions of other creatures to a greater or lesser extent. Eyes, expressions, movements, and body postures are all revealing a person's true thoughts all the time.

The mind-reading ability of a telemancer is nothing more than an enhancement of this most basic ability to feel the feelings of others. Like ordinary people, they also need to rely on observing each other's expressions and other external characteristics. The difference is that psychic magicians have a complete set of sensory studies of humanoid life. And their psionic energy can directly contact the surface consciousness of the other party, and directly obtain some accurate information through the disguise of **.

“...... The consciousness of intelligent life is the most mysterious part of the world, full of potential and full of unknowns......" Lyra explained.

“...... It is an unopened Pandora's box, full of all kinds of dangers, all kinds of horrors. The old woman tapped her head with her fingers, "But it's just as full of strength and hope." ”

"I used to think that mind reading was about being able to see exactly what other people were thinking......," Mohamad said.

"Ridiculous. Lyra said.

"Do you think that the human brain will be a book spread out and let you read it casually?"

Lyra pointed to Muhadi's head, "Then try to examine your mind and see if you know everything about your thoughts." Do you never do something that you find hard to believe?"

"This ......," Muhati frowned, "I'm afraid not." ”

"It's so hard to know yourself completely, how can you accurately read the other person's every thought?" Lyra asked rhetorically. "If you really try to use spiritual energy to enter a person's heart, you will realize that the human mind is so chaotic and complex, like a rolling storm, can you read the message from the storm?"

"At any time, hundreds of thoughts will be born from the sea of human consciousness, and at any time, hundreds of pictures and sounds will pass through the thoughts. It's just that most of them can't be remembered, so the vast majority of living beings in the world don't know how many complicated thoughts appear in their minds in just a moment. ”

"What's more, the so-called consciousness of intelligent beings often deals only with a few 'important' decisions. Have you ever bothered to control every beat of your heart, every peristalsis of your stomach?" Lyra explained, "These are all controlled by the human mind, but ignored by the superficial consciousness. If you really rush into the hearts of others, you will instantly lose yourself in the huge amount of information. ”

"But I don't know how to get the spirit into the hearts of others," Muhadi said, "shouldn't you teach me this technique first and then explain the risks?"

"The risks involved are greater than you imagine!" said Lyra mercilessly, "In this, there is a great deal of caution, just too little, not too much." In this world, there are bold psychic warlocks and older psychic warlocks, but there are no psychic warlocks who are both bold and old. ”

Muhadi nodded in acknowledgment, but the desire for new power was still burning in his heart.

Lyra seemed to see that the boy did not fully understand, so she continued, "Look at ourselves, are we psychic sorcerers stronger than others, or can we be like mages who can mobilize the life force of the world?"

"At heart, we are mortal. It's just that my heart is a little deeper. ”

"And the mediocre ordinary people, even though they have not received full psionic training like you. But their stupid brains are just like yours. Blindly probing their hearts may stimulate the vast and unopened primordial power and completely destroy your soul. ”

Then Muhathir realized a little deeper, "So what am I going to do? I mean, you're going to teach me to read minds, where do I start?"

"Start with the basics. ”

With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen illusions appeared in the air, reflecting magnified images of human eyes, the corners of the mouth, the eyebrows, the larynx, and other parts. "To learn to read minds, you have to start by understanding how the human body expresses the heart. ”

"But what if a person has a poker face and can't see what he's thinking?"

Fortunately, Atas also has poker, and Lyra just thinks Muhadi's rhetoric is strange and doesn't delve into it. "Expressions may lie, but glands don't. When people are angry, afraid, excited, and expectant, the discharge of sweat and even body odor will change slightly. Haven't you mastered synaesthesia?

This class is probably the weirdest class Muhadi has ever taken, and all kinds of mind-reading skills accumulated by psychic magicians for countless thousands of years have been taught by Lyra one by one, and as for how much he can remember and master, even Muhadi himself can't figure it out.

Lyra concludes with a bizarre method known as the "Rorschach Inkblot Test" in which the person is presented with a nonsensical symmetrical inkblot and asked to answer what it looks like. However, what the psychic warlocks really care about is not just the answer itself. It includes the way the other person uses words, the time of observation, the time of reflection, and any other incidental actions or expressions.

"What's the use of that?" Mouhathir was a little puzzled, "Even if I can infer some of the qualities of the other person from those reactions, I can't always carry a blank piece of paper with ink everywhere, and what if the other person refuses to answer?"

"This is just to show you the principle of projection mind reading. Lyra patiently answered the question, "It's simple, but it's the basis for true psychic mind reading. In fact, great psychic magicians, such as me, are always using psionic 'questions' to those around them and accepting their 'answers'. ”

"But I don't feel it at all!" Muhati felt as if he had been stripped of his weapons and was naked, and his body shrank back a little.

"Of course you don't feel that you are an 'untouchable' and that others can try to read your mind with psychic energy, but they don't get any response. It's as if the depths of your heart are blocked. ”

"But for the others, they won't be aware of the psychic sorcerer's probe. It's as if they don't notice how their brain directs the movement of their heart. The part that consciousness can probe is always only a small part of the brain. Lyra smiled coldly, "And the rest of the space is the world where my generation of psychic magicians cast. ”

---------------------------------------------- P.S. Rorschach Inkblot Test is a test by the Swiss psychiatrist and psychiatrist Hermannrorsnetkb1OT, or Rorschach technique, or simply Rorschach.

The so-called projection method is a personality test method that allows the subject to establish his or her own imaginary world through a certain medium, and reveal his personality characteristics in an unrestrained situation.

The biggest advantage of the projection method is that the intention and purpose of the subject are hidden and not revealed, which creates a more objective external condition, so that the test results are more real, more objective, and have a deeper understanding of mental activities, but the disadvantage is that the analysis is more difficult and requires specially trained analysts.
