Chapter 80: The Occasion of Faust (2)

Faust's plan has gone wrong, but what about the others? Faust thinks that their plan may not be carried out according to his own way of thinking.

Of course, Faust had no proof, but he preferred to believe so. The plans that can now be identified are Pacion's plan, the old chieftain's plan, and the plan of Mayor Marula, as well as Baba Yaga's plan and the plan of the "Magic City" that only exist in Faust's conjecture.

Even if the last two plans were to exist, Faust wouldn't have much to do. The old chieftain's plan is not mentioned for the time being, Faust has completely controlled the old chieftain, and his plan was also set by Faust's misdirection, so that he can't make any big waves when he acts alone.

Mayor Marula looked far worse than the old chieftain, far from being able to match his intelltellect and physical strength, and was probably dead now, Faust thought. Even if he survives, he won't have enough action to carry out any plans.

It's not clear what Pacian's plan Faust is, but there is no doubt that he is planning something—Faust has his shadow behind all his actions in Marula, which cannot be understood as some kind of overture.

However, if Baba Yaga is contacted, then things become easy to explain. It can be guessed that the goals of Baba Yaga and Pasien are related to the former capital city of Mobodan.

It is likely that they are fighting for a secret treasure, their relationship is friend or foe, and it is likely that they also harbor the intention of destroying each other. The plans of the Demon City are unpredictable - the "Taboos" are incomprehensible, but its actions can almost be considered to be on the opposite side of everyone.

This is also the reason why Faust believes that all plans will not go as they are - with the intervention of the Demon City, everyone's plans will be deformed, and the actions of the Demon City itself will inevitably be affected by this.

In fact, this is how the current situation was formed, and the tentacle was clearly an operation of the Demon City, which interfered with Faust's plans, and Faust was acutely aware that others might have been similarly disturbed - the Demon City was like an octopus, like tentacles reaching out in all directions.

In this way, all kinds of different ideas and demands collide with each other, and all kinds of different actions and schemes affect each other, and finally intertwine into a colossal monster that no one can see and control. This is true of this adventure, as is the much more complex politics.

Although Faust could not even see the tip of the iceberg of this complex dynamic, he could at least identify friend and foe based on it - the greatest enemy was undoubtedly the Demon City, in front of which even Baba Yaga's subordinates could become temporary allies.

But after the interference in the magic city is reduced, Baba Yaga's messenger is the first to be eliminated - or borrow her hand to eliminate Professor Pacien first, this scale is difficult to grasp, Faust can only improvise and choose a more suitable path.

In short, if possible, the emissaries of Professor Pacion and Baba Yaga are to be excluded assuming they were actually involved in the incident.

As for the old chieftain and the mayor of Marula...... They were doomed to be excluded by Faust, who had no hope of turning the tables on them.

That's pretty much what Faust came to when he thought about it, and as for the more feasible plans, there were only fragmented ideas - such as the fact that the task that Professor Pacien had assigned to Faust must have something to do with his ultimate purpose.

He shook his head, there was too little information now, and it would be nothing more than cranky thinking to think about it, and he wouldn't really come up with a plan that was feasible enough.

In that case, let's get out of the illusion. Faust smiled again, at least in this position, the spiritual pollution of the Demon City was still within the scope of what he could deal with.

His eyes began to flicker, and with the vision, Faust's vision began to shake - the cave seemed to be experiencing an earthquake, the walls of the cave cracking in the violent shaking, the sand and rock falling off in large chunks, and there was even a faint red glow in the cracks in the ground—it was obviously lava.

But Faust didn't mean it, unlike a real earthquake, everything in front of him was silent. And when the earthquake was so violent that Faust's vision finally changed.

It was as if the space was changing, and everything in front of me seemed to be drawn on a piece of paper, and now the paper was being crumpled and spread out again.

But the rough treatment of the paper left a mark, and as it was kneaded again and again, the picture on the paper was finally completely distorted, leaving only blurry patches of color and messy lines.

Faust's eyes were as bright as a trumpet's searchlight, and even light could be faintly seen in his mouth and nose - after rising to a level, Faust was unable to learn a higher level of spells, but his psionic abilities had improved considerably.

There was a soft sound of "popping ......", and the color blocks and lines in front of Faust's eyes finally disappeared completely, revealing the real world in front of him.

"This effect ......" Faust wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's a bit tricky...... "Although the illusion was rough, its source of energy was large and stable, and Faust used almost all his strength to get out of it.

And...... Faust raised his hand and looked at the white film of light above, which was constantly fluctuating, as if it was being eroded by some invisible force.

"That's a bit ......," Faust smiled bitterly, boasting that he could solve it, but now he was distressed by it, and Faust felt a little ashamed even though no one was around.

The protection he had just put on himself could only last for two hours with the current erosion strength, and the psychic power he had consumed would exceed the amount of recovery in two hours.

That is, there will come a time when his psychic power will be depleted by resisting mental pollution - a moment that is not too far away if you take into account the attrition of the battle.

"Although there is the protection of Legba...... And the system. But it's still best not to come into contact with mental pollution. Faust thought so and activated the Brain Crystal Ring on his hand.

As soon as the ring was activated, Faust instantly felt loosened on his body, the pressure caused by the erosive force was more than half, and the power stored in the brain crystal began to rise rapidly, and the reserves that had been empty before began to recover.

In this case, I can still support it for a while. Faust was a little relieved, "We must hurry." He raised his head, ready to officially start the adventure of the Demon City.

The current environment was very similar to the previous hallucination, it was also a tunnel, but it was much darker, and there was a damp musty smell in the air, Faust slowly unleashed his remote sensing technique, and the sight he saw couldn't help but make him gasp.
