Chapter 20: Emotions and Desires

As night fell, the moonlight shone on a secluded and tranquil river in the upper town. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since most of the demons outside the Northern Circle are not good at water, this small river was originally an artificial water source for the moat in Shangcheng more than 50 years ago, but now the moat has disappeared, and it has also been transformed into an ornamental urban river.

Ian and Camilla were sitting on a secluded bench by the river, one at one end and the other, with a long distance in between.

Camilla's eyes were red, but fortunately, her mood had stabilized. She now sits sideways at one end of the bench, leaving Ian with a beautiful back.

The girl was a little shy and embarrassed at the moment. The thought that she had actually thrown herself into the arms of a strange man she had only met twice and cried, Camilla felt hot and just wanted to find a hole in the ground so that she could go straight down.

No, no, I haven't even seen the other person's face!

Immediately after that, the girl who realized this couldn't help but cover her red face bag tightly.

"Camilla, are you feeling better?"

After sighing deeply in his heart, Ian, who realized that it should be about one o'clock in the morning, decided to take the initiative to speak, he really didn't know what year and month Camilla would let him wait until the other party spoke first.

"Okay, much better. ”

The girl turned her head and saw that the other party's chest was obviously wet by the moonlight, and she suddenly looked away with some embarrassment: "Sorry, I stained your clothes." ”

"Don't worry. Ian shrugged, "It's not much cleaner." ”

"Thank you, Black, this is the second time you've saved me. After breathing a sigh of relief and calming her emotions, Camilla turned her gaze back, straightened up and bowed her head in thanks.

"Huh?" Looking at this girl who thanked her seriously, Ian was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but tease: "Do you want to repay me?"

"Huh, ah, that ......" The girl who didn't expect the other party to say this at all, pinched her skirt, and suddenly became a little at a loss: "I don't have anything to take out to repay you now." However, in the future, in the future, it will definitely ......."

"I don't want anything in the future......" Seeing the girl in confusion, Ian said in a deliberately bad tone.

"Well, but I don't have anything now...... Frightened!" Camilla seemed to suddenly realize something, and her face turned red. She hurriedly covered her chest, shook her head and said, "Black, this, only this is not allowed! In the future, I will definitely repay you well in the future!"

"Poof!"

The girl's reaction was so funny that Ian couldn't hold back his laughter in the end, and he laughed and apologized, "Hahaha, sorry, Camilla, it's my fault!" I can't help but want to bully you when I see you. ”

"What, what! I mean seriously!" Camilla, who found that she was being teased by the other party, suddenly stomped her feet in anger, and flew out of the sky in the blink of an eye full of gratitude: "You guy is just too ......"

"Camilla, you're really better now, aren't you?" Ian asked with a light smile when he saw the effect he had taken over.

"Huh!"

The girl was stunned for a moment, she didn't seem to care too much about the misfortune that happened today after she found herself so angry. Self-pity, pain and despair seem to have been blown away all at once.

She fell silent, then looked up.

"Black, thank you. ”

"No need. Seeing that the girl had really recovered, he nodded and stood up: "Then, beautiful young lady, I will escort you home first." ”

Hearing Ian's proposal, Camilla couldn't help but show a bitter smile again: "However, I don't have a home to go back to, black." ”

"Huh?" Ian was stunned.

He sat back on the bench, turned his head sideways and asked, "What happened, can you tell me?"

Although his consciousness can be seen from above, he can't detect the conversations of others, so through a few words, Ian only knows that the middle-aged housekeeper from before is coming to capture this girl, but he doesn't know what happened to this girl.

"It's nothing!" After thinking about it, the girl shook her head and said firmly: "It's all in the past, I won't be defeated so easily!"

"Okay. Feeling that the other party had cheered up, although he was curious, since the other party was unwilling to say more, Ian would not ask more.

"So, have you figured out where to spend the night? If I'm not mistaken, tomorrow is the first day of school, the top student of Albert College. ”

"I have a very good friend. Hearing the other man's inquiry, Camilla turned her head and replied, "I can go and stay with her tonight." And then, as long as tomorrow, ah, no, it's past midnight now, it's this morning. As long as I live in the school then, they can't do anything to me. ”

"Are you sure your friend is still awake at this late hour?"

"As long as I'm over, she'll be awake at any time!" Camilla said confidently.

"Okay. After a three-second silence for Camilla's friend, Ian nodded, "I'll send you there, where does she live?" ”

"In the largest castle in the entire Northern Regions!"

"Sounds like Her Royal Highness...... Princess," Ian wondered.

"She is the daughter of Grand Duke Lancewayne, and she was originally Her Royal Highness the Princess in the Northern Regions!"

"Oh~~~?"

"You, what do you mean by that questioning tone?" Camilla said angrily, "I'm a friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess, can't I?"

"A suspicious person like me can't just run into the castle of the Grand Duke. ”

"Just send me to the windowsill of her room, and she'll know I'm coming." ”

"Alright then!" Ian nodded, though he didn't know where the girl's confidence in her friend came from, but he chose to trust him.

"Black, thank you, I swear, I will repay you in the future, I will do what I say!" Camilla said solemnly. She is a serious and persistent girl, and she is never perfunctory about promises.

"So...... Huh?" Looking at this serious girl, Ian, who was still a little crying and laughing, suddenly thought that the other party was a student at Albert College, a capable person!

"Camilla!" After a pause, he asked, "If you really want to repay me, can you tell me something?"

"What?" Camilla was stunned for a moment, apparently the girl didn't expect the other party to ask something like this: "Well, black, I'm not sure if I'll know what you're asking." ”

"Don't worry, you know!" Ian affirmed.

"Then excuse me. Sensing the other party's serious tone, the girl couldn't help but get serious.

"Camilla, please tell me, what is the capable one, and what is the power of the mind?"

"Huh?"

Camilla, who has always regarded Ian as a high-ranking and super master, could never have imagined that the other party would ask such a basic question!

"But these are ......," she whispered to herself, glancing at Ian secretly.

Sensing the girl's disbelief, Ian touched his nose unnaturally.

God's mercy, if it weren't for Fei'er always talking about him when he asked about these things, where would he need to suffer this embarrassment of being regarded as a beginner to this day.

The image of a master who had worked so hard to create in front of this girl was only afraid that it had collapsed.

"I'm not a capable person. Eager to be too curious about what the capable people of this world were, Ian had to explain with a wry smile.

"Huh, how is this possible!" Camilla, who was obviously taken aback, exclaimed involuntarily: "You can even win the 'Night Cat', how can you not be a capable person?"

"I didn't win him by the power of the mind of the capable. Anyway, it had already been confessed, and Ian replied calmly without hesitation.

"Isn't that ability to flash directly from one place to another a spatial mental ability?"

"That's an instantaneous burst of footwork, one of the physical arts. ”

"So, what about the silk thread?"

"That's the effect of swordsmanship, not a mental image. ”

"But, but ......" Although Ian had explained his abilities, Camilla was still incredulous. In her worldview, she never knew that mortals could easily defeat the median powerhouse, enough to be comparable to the upper powerhouse.

"I'm not lying to you, in fact it's my first time in Uptown. Ian said with a wry smile in the affirmative.

"Hmm. Feeling Ian's affirmative tone, the girl nodded reluctantly: "I see, then let me sort out my thoughts a little." ”

"Okay, let's talk as we go!" Ian said, getting up.

"Hmm," Camilla nodded.

The two of them walked towards the largest building in the Upper North, and after a moment of thought, Camilla opened her mouth to Ian and asked, "Black, before I tell you this, can you tell me how you understood the capable and the mental image before?"

"I've always thought of a capable person as someone who is born with some kind of special ability. As for the mental image...... "The concept of mental image in the previous world and the concept of mental image in this world are completely different existences."

"I've always thought of mental imagery as something like fire or lightning. However, it turned out that this understanding was incorrect. ”

"Hmm. After confirming that the other party did not know anything about the mental image, Camilla was silent for a while and said, "Black, before I explain the capable person, first of all, I want to tell you the concept of the mental image and the power of the mental image. ”

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is huge. Camilla smiled bitterly: "The power of the mind is not a physical energy, but a soul power or will power. This power can truly manifest the inner image of the capable into this world. ”

"And the mental image ......," Camilla paused, looked up at the sky, and said with a confused gaze: "The mental image is a general term for various abilities and things that manifest themselves on the basis of the power of the mental image, through the personality of the capable person himself, his most extreme emotions, and his purest desires. ”
