Chapter 21 This is the Capable One, this is the Mental Image
"The various abilities and things that are manifested by the character of the capable person himself, and by his most extreme emotions and purest desires? Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Ian muttered to himself, looking down.
"Hmm. Camilla nodded, then continued, "Once I know the concept of mental imagery, I can explain the capable. ”
"The capable. Hearing this, Ian's heart perked up.
"A capable person is an existence that is born with the power of mental imagery. Camilla paused, then glanced at Ian beside her, "But, unlike what you think, they weren't born with mental images. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Even if you are born with the power of mental imagery, there is no way for a baby with a blank mind to give birth to mental imagery. Camilla explained: "In the process of growing up, capable people will have different ideas and pursuits due to different personalities and circumstances. And when these thoughts and pursuits are sublimated through extreme emotions or pure desires, they form mental images. ”
Then she continued: "This time period is roughly between the ages of 6 and 25, children around the age of 6-12 have the purest mind, this time period is the most likely to give birth to mental images, and after the age of 25, people's thinking patterns are basically solidified and there are a lot of distracting thoughts, if there is no huge impact on life, it is basically unlikely to generate new mental images." ”
"In other words, how many mental images were born during this time, how many abilities will the capable person have?" Ian asked in surprise.
"Theoretically, but not absolutely. Because newly awakened mental images are unstable, they will disappear as the wish is fulfilled before they are solidified. Camilla explained.
"A capable person who has just been born with a mental image is called an awakened one. Their mental image is not stable. For example, an awakened person is blind, and he wants to see the world, so he has the ability to probe minds. But one day, when he regained his sight, this wish was fulfilled, and his ability to investigate disappeared. ”
"What's more. Camilla said in an accentuated tone: "Extreme emotions and pure desires are easy to say, but they are truly ......"
"I see. Ian interrupted, "So, how many mental abilities does the average capable person usually have?"
"It's hard to say, although there are generally 2-3 kinds, but after all, if the capable person deliberately conceals it and doesn't need to come out, no one can know how much ability he really has. ”
"It's more complicated than I thought. ”
"The human heart is inherently complicated. Camilla smiled wryly and nodded, adding, "Moreover, depending on the individual's personality, even the same encounter will give birth to different mental images." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Give the example of the same blind people. If he is a gentle person, he may develop the ability to manipulate light. If the personality is not good or bad, the ability to detect may be born. If you have a bad personality, you may develop the ability to limit or even deprive others of your vision. ”
"Just kidding......" Ian said with a wry smile. He already felt like he was starting to have a headache.
"It's true. Camilla nodded helplessly: "Everyone's personality is different, and the devil knows what kind of mental images they will have." ”
"Then why is it that all I see so far are combat abilities, according to you, there should be all kinds of everything, right? Ian asked.
"It's the result of the deliberate guidance of the big guys. Camilla replied.
"Deliberately guided?"
"The main responsibility of the capable is to face the demons, wouldn't it be a waste to give birth to abilities that have nothing to do with combat?" Camilla said, rolling her eyes, "That's what the big guys think. ”
Without waiting for Ian to speak, she continued: "So they set up an academy dedicated to cultivating capable people, gathered the children who were found to be capable people, and deliberately created an environment where they competed and fought with each other, so that they could give birth to a mental image related to fighting. ”
"Is that so......" Ian said after a brief pause.
"There's no way around it. Camilla smiled and said, "After all, we are capable people, and one day we will shoulder the responsibility of protecting mortals." What's more, the benefits in the academy are also good. ”
"Well, I see," Ian nodded slowly, then suddenly smiled as if he had thought of something, "But, instead of that, wouldn't it be better to think of omniscience and omnipotence in the first place?"
"Huh?"
The girl was obviously taken aback by this statement, and then explained with a wry smile: "Black, delusions are different from mental images, and the power of mental images possessed by each capable person is only an extremely small part of the power of the only artifact - the heart cup that is scattered after it is broken. ”
"With such a small bit of power, how can a mortal's soul support the delusion of almost wanting to become a god?"
Seeing the girl's stiff expression and knowing that he had asked an extremely stupid question, Ian couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment: "Understood." ”
"Hmm," Camilla nodded, "Then I'll tell you about the grading of the capable." However, there are some specific things that I don't know too well. ”
"Wait, Camilla. Ian turned his head to look at the girl walking beside him and asked, "There's one thing I'm curious about." You said that mental images are generated by a person's personality, circumstances, and pursuits, so why are your mental images chains and winds, and what do they represent?"
"Huh?"
The girl suddenly stopped walking, and she lowered her head and fell into silence.
Ian suddenly realized that he seemed to have asked a worse question than the previous one.
"Black!" Camilla raised her head, looked directly at the man in black in front of her, and said in an unprecedented low tone, "Please remember that you should never easily spy on the cause of the formation of the mental image of the capable, this is a big taboo!"
"Although there are other reasons, but this often means that the other party has an unbearable memory, right?" Ian asked tentatively, and when he saw the girl, he nodded lightly and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, my fault." ”
"Well, it's fine, as long as you can remember that. The girl shook her head and took another step forward.
After a moment, she continued, "Next is the grading of the capable. ”
"Hmm. Ian nodded slightly.
"First of all, the Awakened, I won't repeat this as I said it. Camilla glanced at the man beside her, coughed lightly, and said, "Then, when a mental image is solidified, the Awakened will officially become a subordinate powerhouse. ”
"Solidified minds?"
"That's right. There is no absolute difference in strength between the awakened and the lower power, it's just that one of the mental images is unstable, and the other mental images are solidified. The girl nodded: "And the solidification of the mental image is literally meaningful, and this mental image ability will never disappear again." ”
"If that image represents a bad memory, then it means that the wound will remain in the heart forever. Ian, who already had an understanding of the concept of mental imagery, silently added in his mind.
"And then for the median power, I used to hear that you need to be familiar with all the characteristics of your own mental image, and learn to control it subtly. Camilla shook her head and said, "I didn't quite understand what I meant before today, but now I almost know a little." ”
"Is that guy just a mid-level powerhouse?" asked Ian bitterly.
"Well, but it's the strongest among the median power. ”
"What about the Superior Ones?"
"Except for knowing that the upper level capable people have mental image armament and can form an absolute strength suppression against the middle and lower level capable people, I don't know anything else. Camilla smiled bitterly and said, "As for the three supreme beings above them, I am even more ......."
"It's fine. Ian smiled and asked, "What is the Mental Image?"
"It is said that it is something that can be truly manifested after the mental image has been sublimated to the extreme. ”
"Real!" the sensitive Ian immediately grasped the keyword.
"Well, really. The mental image of the middle and lower capable people is somewhat illusory, but the mental image of the upper capable people is real. ”
"All wishes come true, and nothing comes out of nothing. Ian muttered, "Isn't that the power of God?"
"After all, I haven't seen it at all, so there's no way to tell you with certainty. Camilla said with a little embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter, it's enough. Ian closed his eyes slightly, he needed to digest what he had gained today.
At this moment, he deeply realized why Fei'er was completely reluctant to tell him this. Because it was too much trouble for the girl with facial paralysis to say so much.
Seeing Ian lost in thought, Camilla also fell silent.
For a moment, the two walked side by side silently.
"Thank you, Camilla. "A moment later,
Ian, who came to his senses, thanked the girl.
"It's okay, such a trifle...... Ahh
"Huh?"
"Look. Camilla pointed to a windowsill on the castle on the right and said, "That's the window library in my friend's room." ”
Ian hid his figure in the shadows and looked up at the windowsill that the girl was pointing, "Are you going to fly up?"
"Hmm!" the girl nodded.
"Are you sure? It's the Grand Duke's castle after all. ”
"It's true that the timing is a little wrong, but it doesn't matter, the guards here all know me, I can go and say hello first. ”
"Repeat offender?"
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Ian said silently in his mind.
"Well, then, I'll send you here. Ian shook his head and turned away.
"Hey, black, you're leaving?" Camilla was startled, and Ian's sudden goodbye made her feel a little reluctant.
"A suspicious person like me is not suitable for a late night near the Grand Duke's Mansion. Ian smiled and said, "Besides, I came to Uptown to find people." ”
"Uh, looking for someone?" Camilla froze.
"Well, find someone who is important to me. ”
"Very important person?" Camilla repeated this sentence silently, and suddenly felt a little guilty: "Well, did I delay you for a long time because of me?"
"Don't worry, Camilla, I didn't expect to find her that soon anyway. Ian shook his head in a pretended manner, then said goodbye, "Then I'll take my leave." ”
"Wait. Camilla stepped forward and raised her right hand slightly as if she wanted to grab the corner of her clothes floating behind Ian: "Black, tell me, who are you looking for, maybe I can help." ”
"No, Camilla. The young man with his back to the girl smiled bitterly and slowly melted into the shadows: "Have a good rest with your friends." ”
"But I don't know yet, how am I going to find you next time?"
Seeing that the other party's figure had disappeared without a trace, the girl couldn't help but smile bitterly.
......
Somewhere in a room in the Grand Duke's Palace.
After noticing Ian's departure, Fei'er, who had been leaning quietly on the wall next to the windowsill, opened her closed eyes, she turned her head slightly to look out the window, and muttered to herself.
"These two idiots. ”
