"What?"

Faust's invincible thinking in the royal capital does not seem to be easy in this new world, and there are always unexpected things that destroy his perfect train of thought.

A demigod who wanted to eat you an hour or two ago suddenly changed his mind and wanted to take you as an apprentice? Is it to fatten you up and eat again? Faust thought divergently.

Legba seemed to be very patient, he did not urge Faust to make a decision as soon as possible, but just stood quietly in place.

After a momentary downtime, Faust's mind raced and he quickly came to the conclusion that he could only choose to agree to the demigod's terms.

There are two reasons for this: first, his own strength is not enough to resist Legba. Faust has a very intuitive understanding of Regba's power, and just because he can escape one devouring does not mean that he will be as lucky as the previous one.

Second, if you want to go further on the path of the kingdom officials, the most important thing is not to make mistakes, any mistakes will become a weapon in the hands of political opponents, specifically Faust, that is, not to offend Legba.

Thinking of this, Faust calmed down a lot.

He could only choose to agree, "This is my honor, respected Mentor Regba." Faust put his right hand on his chest, his left hand behind his back, and knelt on one knee, "May your wisdom guide me forward." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant tree trembled, as if some kind of behemoth was about to break through the tree. Soon, a large olive-shaped hole was torn in the center of the trunk, and a hollow sound came from the hole.

"Come, then, my clever apprentice, to the Mentor. ”

Faust swallowed, "As you wish, Mentor Legba." ”

Faust stepped forward and looked at the edge of the tree hole. This is not at all like the tree hole that just appeared, but as if it was already here, and it has endured the wind and rain of countless days and moons.

As soon as his hand touched the edge of the hollow, he felt a strong urge to leap in, although Faust shuddered knowing that it was just some kind of psionic path, without the slightest malice.

Faust turned his heart sideways, closed his eyes, and leaped into the dark hollow of the tree.

Sure enough, unlike the usual tree holes, this one is exceptionally deep, and there is a complex fully enclosed slide connected to the bottom of the tree hole, and Faust seems to have been washed into the sewer, up and down.

After slipping for an unknown amount of time, Faust's eyes lit up, and his feet shook, and he was already out of the tunnel, and he happened to be standing on the ground.

Faust looked back, there was no hole at all, and when he looked up, there was an endless sky above, and there was not a single cloud, and when he looked down, there was an endless earth under his feet, covered with fine white sand, and only a few footprints were imprinted under Faust's feet, which was slightly messy.

"Welcome to my territory, my apprentice. ”

Faust followed the prestige, and a tall figure came in the distance, and with his appearance, the wind blew between the heaven and the earth as if it were still. As the figure approached, the wind and sand grew larger, and when he stood five feet in front of Faust with his arms folded, the wind and sand had formed a curtain, obscuring the appearance of the comer, and only a burly silhouette could be seen.

"Call me Faust, wise teacher. Faust bowed again.

"You don't have to call me a mentor, kid, call me Daddy Legba. The voice of the figure was dry and old, and it did not match the body type, and if you only listened to the voice, there would undoubtedly be an image of a thin old man in front of you.

"Daddy Legba. "Faust is as good as he is.

"You're wondering, wondering why I chose you as my apprentice, right?" the silhouette didn't move, like a statue carved out of rock, but the voice was like a fox stealing a chicken.

“...... Yes, Daddy Regba, I do have that question. Faust bowed his head, expressing his obedience and sincerity to Regba.

"People can't hide their hearts from their fathers. Father Regba smirked twice, "I have always taught my apprentices. ”

Legbar explained: "You must be frightened by the trees above to ask this question. He paused, "You may have noticed that the tree above is not me, or rather, not the whole me. ”

"Those trees are derivatives of my mind, with great psionic powers, but only inferior intelligence. Daddy Regba's tone was a hint of helplessness, "I can only connect with them occasionally, and then I can directly interfere with the outside world." ”

Faust wisely didn't ask why.

Father Legba seemed to see through his thoughts, and he explained nonchalantly, "As you can see, of course I didn't stay here of my own volition, I was trapped. ”

"That's why I'm taking you as an apprentice," he said lightly, "I need someone, not a bunch of toads who can't even learn the most basic psionic abilities, to carry out my will." ”

"Everything will be as you wish, Daddy Regba. Faust complimented.

"I'm not done yet," said Father Regba, unimpressed by Faust's compliment, and continued, "and this is not the only reason, for your mind is amazing, and that strange structure cannot even be fathomed to me, so I have taken advantage of the precious opportunity to receive you myself as my apprentice." ”

"It's a great honour for me, Daddy Regaba. "Faust does not miss an opportunity for flattery.

Daddy Legba simply ignored Faust's nonsense, "Become my apprentice, and I will impart to you countless valuable knowledge, and you only need to carry out the whimsical orders of my old man once in a while." ”

"Please make it clear. Faust pretended to be a meritorious person.

"Don't worry, we still have time, let's talk about other things first, such as ...... What do you think is faith?" Regba's tone became relaxed and comfortable.

Faust was uncomfortable with Regba's jumpy style of conversation, but he tried to think about it - the demigod was obviously planning to teach the apprentice a lesson first, so the teacher's first question was important.

"Hmm...... Faith...... I think that faith is a kind of power, and it can sublimate the gods from inanimate matter, intangible concepts, and that must be a great power. Faust replied briefly.

Regba seemed satisfied, "Yes, it's not easy for you to have this kind of understanding, but as a student of Regba's father, you need to know better. ”

He cleared his throat and said, "The power of faith comes from the heart. ”

"You know, there are many ways in psionic power that can control a person's mind. But what I want to say is that the power of thinking is only a part of psionic energy, and in fact, most intelligent beings are irrational, and logical thinking, which symbolizes rationality, how can it represent psionic energy?"

Regba begins at length, "Faith is a very complex thing, and it is neither a mere emotional impulse, nor is it evidently devoid of rigorous logical reasoning. My big tree clones have a certain degree of autonomy because of the worship of the toads. ”

He sneered twice, "For those so-called high-level psychic warlocks who only know logical thinking, of course such a complex thing can only be extracted from psionic energy. ”

Faust couldn't help but ask, "I've seen some ...... before Forbidden book, it says, faith belongs to divine power, is it ......" Faust did not finish.

"That's a good question," Regba said to the apprentice, "I've never seen it before...... God, so, although I knew that faith had great potential, I didn't expect that faith could give birth to such a perfect existence as God!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, "The existence of God fills the gap in my theory, and faith is indeed the ultimate embodiment of spiritual energy, and the end of spiritual energy is divine power......! As long as I get the ...... in my hands"

Suddenly realizing that he was out of shape, Legba coughed dryly twice, and began to analyze in detail the inner connection between faith, divine powers, and psionic powers, many of which were quoted from the knowledge of trading with Aventenu.

Faust also tacitly did not mention Regba's gaffe, which could even be considered a precursor to a descent into some kind of madness for a master of psychic powers.

Faust simply tried his best to absorb the knowledge and ask questions about what he didn't know very well.

After a long time, Legba said that the first lesson was over, "Okay, the first lesson will teach you these first, you are only a first-level psychic warlock, if you can have a deep understanding of this, you can even learn divine arts!"

Faust is learning with great fascination, and Legba is a master of psychic abilities, and his lessons are well-read and easy to understand, which Faust has benefited a lot.

At this moment, he suddenly heard that the first lesson had ended, and Faust was still unsatisfied, "So, teacher, when are we going to start the next class?"

"Then it's up to you?" said Legba with a laugh. "I'll give you the first assignment, and when I feel you're qualified to continue as my apprentice, I'll naturally teach you the next lesson. ”

"Alright, let go of your mind, there's not much time left!" Daddy Regba's tone became solemn.

Faust hurriedly got ready—at least, he thought he was ready.

The torrent of information came like a monstrous wave, engulfing Faust in it.

"Mind...... Deformation...... Shaping the ...... of self" Faust can only feel a few words, which is converted into the water in this monstrous wave, probably just a handful of it with his hand.

"Incoming information detected, do you accept it? Yes/No. ”

A piece of information is overlaid on fragments of knowledge, and it does not stand tall even if it is a huge wave.

"Yes......! Hurry up!"

And so, order came.

Countless waves are restrained by invisible forces, turning into regular currents, and the entangled currents gradually blurred, abstracted into a distorted symbol, deeply imprinted in the depths of Faust's mind.

Although he had never seen this symbol, Faust knew what it meant, "Psychic Power Analysis". It's a very ordinary name, but Faust, who has experienced the vast amount of information, knows that this is not an ordinary inheritance.

Faust slowly opened his eyes, and the outside world was no longer empty, but instead of a lush forest, and in the center of his vision was an extraordinarily tall tree, but there was no hole in it, and everything he had experienced was like a dream.

Faust knew that it was not a dream, and that the symbols in his mind were proof.

Since it's not a dream, then I have to keep the agreement with Regba's father.

I received the first assignment, "Go to all the nations and spread the faith of Legba." ”
