Was that dance competition he had heard in the tavern?

Norman has a lot to do right now, where is the time to go to such a boring party?

He was about to open his mouth to refuse, but when he saw the face of Shanny in front of him, and looked at her eyes full of longing, the rejection on his lips was forced to swallow it again.

It was the girl's two reminders from the girl next to him just now that saved his life: the first time was her "Sharia", which made him pull a trace of clarity from the chaotic subjective consciousness, and the second time was because of her "self-judgment", which made him think of a way to destroy Regina's consciousness.

Although she also had no intention, if it weren't for her two reminders, it was really hard to say whether he would be able to successfully devour Regina's spiritual power now, which made Norman naturally have a good impression of her.

And it doesn't stop there, Norman looked at the face of Shannie in front of him, and somehow, he had a strange feeling in his heart.

It was a faint affection for no reason, which made him unconsciously want to be close.

He was seduced by her beauty?

Norman thought about it, but felt that it shouldn't be the case - in fact, he still couldn't think that the Shanni in front of him was a peerless beauty like those sailors in the live broadcast room. In the face of his ever-improving aesthetic, Shanni is just okay in his eyes.

So what's going on with this inexplicable favorite?

Norman doesn't know, but with a combination of two factors, he really can't say no now. And starting from his role positioning at the moment, a young lady of a big nobleman invited her to attend an important event together, as a village woman, she should be ecstatic, where is the reason to refuse?

So he finally agreed.

"Good!"

In order to conform to his role positioning at the moment, Norman was ecstatic and excited when he agreed, and presented the psychological activities of a rural village woman who can participate in important activities in high society.

......

The dinner ended in a pleasant and harmonious atmosphere.

After the meal, everyone chatted for a while, and then went back to rest. After returning to their room, Norman immediately checked the doors and windows, instructed Ji Ruoxi not to let others disturb him, and then climbed into bed and began to digest the harvest of today's dinner.

When he was at the dinner, he was anxious to break through the current progress of his "Catching the Sea Heart Sutra", there was no suitable environment at that time, but now that there is an environment, he is not in a hurry to do this, but carefully examines his spiritual power.

The way he felt when he faced Shanni at the dinner party made him feel very wrong.

How could he have such an inexplicable faint affection for Shanny?

Now that Norman thought about it carefully, he found that this kind of affection was not only inexplicable, but also inexplicable: he remembered that when he first met Shanni, he obviously did not have this strange feeling, and he did not know when it came to me.

This reminded Norman of what Lancelot once said to him about "hormones", which are hormones that cannot be specifically perceived by living beings, but which do affect biological activity, and have a guiding effect on the reproduction of living things. But the problem is that he later found out that he had the same feelings for Shival!

He was a male, and he wanted to have children with the female of Xani, and to be able to be normal, according to the Knights Templar, it was a biological instinct, but how could he also want to have children with Shival!

Could it be that his feminine outfit also reversed his sexuality?

I actually want to reproduce with men...... This incident was too horrible to Norman.

This kind of person is so disgusting, in their village they will be spit on by everyone and burned to death!

Norman has changed a lot, but some deep-seated ideas will not be easily changed in a few months, so he still retains some of the ideas that have been ingrained since childhood, such as the rejection and aversion of homosexuality. This also made him feel a little disgusted and frightened of his current self, and he didn't even dare to tell the Templars about it, for fear that his image in their hearts would plummet.

So he had to figure out what was going on himself.

And in order to study this problem, first he needs to figure out one thing, and that is, when did this feeling arise? Grasp the point in time.

After thinking about this idea, Norman compared it back and forth, and quickly grasped this point in time - it was after he successfully absorbed Regina's spiritual power!

Until then, everything was normal, and it was only after that that he had that inexplicable feeling when he looked at Shannie and Xival.

So, this is caused by the relationship between Regina's mental power?

Well...... Judging from the information he has, Regina is the wife of the city lord of this city lord's mansion twenty years ago, and the current city lord's family should have a lot to do with Regina, and it is even likely that they are the descendants of Regina, and there is a blood relationship between them.

Going deeper, according to Lancelot, there is a "genetic similarity".

So this kind of thing, blood, this really affects people's senses?

The Knights Templar didn't say much about it, and Norman didn't know much about it, but he discovered one thing: if blood connections could really affect people's senses, then his previous feelings made sense. But in that case, a new problem arises, that is, Regina's soul still has an effect on him!

His so-called "killing Regina and absorbing Rejana's spiritual power without being bothered by Rejana's consciousness" is just his own opinion, in fact, Rejana's soul still has an effect on him?!

This caused a sudden panic in Norman's heart.

He now thinks that he is Norman, and he has not changed, but is he really still the same Norman as before? Is this current person a new consciousness born under the influence of Regina, but he himself does not know it?

This kind of thing is like "only because of being in this mountain", no matter how much I think about it, I can't figure it out, Norman thought about it for a long time, and finally found that he couldn't jump out of his own perspective to judge whether he had changed from a third person's point of view, so he could only not think about it.

But although this proposition can not be thought about, there is another thing he can do, and that is to see what Regina has left behind in his spiritual world.

So Norman carefully explored his spiritual world, but found nothing: in his spiritual world, there was no trace of the cyan light band at all.

But Norman didn't stop.

Regina did have an effect on him, and since it did, he didn't believe he couldn't find any traces of it.

He continued to search.

He had searched the spiritual power substrate before, so he started to search from the consciousness level this time, and the substrate that constitutes the consciousness level is memory, so he began to search for his own memory.

And after his careful search, he finally found an anomaly!

Norman is an adult male, ** official has matured, and the desire for the opposite sex is naturally unavoidable.

When he was in the village, his need was largely suppressed by the pressure of life - the Knights Templar said well, he couldn't even solve the problem of food and clothing, how could he have the energy to think about these things?

After coming out of the village, he had enough food and clothing to solve, and he had the time to think, but he was either busy with all kinds of things and had no time, or he couldn't meet a "beautiful woman" who could make him sexually interested, so until now, Norman was still a place.

In such a place, it can be said that there is no knowledge of women's body structure, and knowledge in this area should be very thin, but now the truth is the opposite.

He found that his understanding of the female body structure was very sound!

Not to mention menstruation and vaginal discharge, he even knows exactly what it feels like when he is penetrated by a man and how to have a child!

This knowledge is obviously not his, but it seems to be as natural as it belongs to him. Because it was so natural, to the point that it was easy for him to come by, he hadn't even noticed it before - it was like a normal person who would naturally reach out when he wanted to reach for that thing, instead of realizing that he had a hand and then taking it.

That's the case with Norman, so he didn't find any of these extra memories until he now looked back on them carefully.

This shocked Norman: these things were clearly Regina's memories!

But isn't Rejana's world of memories collapsing?

After thinking about it again, Norman guessed a possible outcome: these things might have been perceived and recorded by his subjective consciousness when his previous subjective consciousness and Regina's consciousness were intertwined and confused. Regina's consciousness was destroyed only by destroying her own memory world, but the memories recorded by his consciousness were not.

And unlike Regina's memories, these memories recorded by his own subjective consciousness do not seem to be affected by Rejana's consciousness, and are simply memories.

After much thought and recollection, Norman finally sorted out the whole thing from beginning to end for a while.

First of all, it was Regina's mental power, which was indeed completely absorbed by him, which made his mental power increase a lot—under normal circumstances, it would take a long time to exercise.

Secondly, there are many parts of Rejana's memories that he has absorbed and transformed into his own memories in this way of inscription and recording...... Well, no, Norman doesn't think it's appropriate to use "memory" here.

Perhaps because of the perception of the record from the perspective of others, these "memories" are incomplete, all of them are scattered fragments, and it is more appropriate to describe them as "knowledge". That's why they fit into his memory so naturally and smoothly, without him noticing, and from the current point of view, this form of "knowledge" is different from "memory". If "memory" is a living thing, then this "knowledge" is a dead thing, which will not have any effect on his consciousness, and will not cause his emotions to deviate significantly.

Of course, it may also be that the effects are too small, and the effects are too slow, so slow that Norman himself does not even notice their effects.

Finally, there is the blood of Regina.

According to the information Norman received from the Templars, the bloodline is supposed to be transmitted according to living organisms, and he and Regina are just friends, and it stands to reason that he will not inherit Regina's bloodline from Regina, but the fact is that he may have inherited Rejana's bloodline, which should be the root cause of his strange feelings for Shanny and Shival.

These are the threads of the whole thing that Norman himself sorted out.

In general, the absorption of Regina's soul this time was successful, such as Norman's original intention to absorb Rejana's spiritual power and strengthen his own spiritual power, the disadvantages are mainly focused on the inheritance and influence of the spiritual bloodline, but as long as Norman himself usually pays attention to it, this influence is not significant.

The most surprising part of Norman was the discovery of "knowledge".

While most of Rejana's knowledge is useless, the knowledge of others is useful!

There are still several souls in Norman's current spiritual world, including several red-robed and blue-robed mages. If he could absorb their knowledge, Norman would be able to master a lot of spell knowledge and spells in an instant without having to learn!

And there should be the soul of the knight in this, their rich experience and combat knowledge believe that they can make Norman instantly improve one or two levels in combat skills, which will have magic weapons, and the strength of the two aspects will be improved in an instant!

This discovery lifted Norman's spirits, and it can be said that it was a complete surprise.

This reminded him of a magical technique called "Northern Pluto Divine Skill" that Lancelot had mentioned when he told him a story, and in terms of utility, his current method of absorbing souls can be said to be an upgraded version of "Northern Pluto Divine Skill".

He even thought that if he continued like this, he wouldn't even need to study, he just needed to continue to absorb other people's souls, and when the time came, the growth rate of meditation and magic power under the super spiritual power would definitely be very fast, and in that case, he would probably be able to be promoted to a white-robed mage in less than two months!

However, he can only think about this idea, after all, the few souls of his spiritual world this time are completely a big coincidence, he will only leave his own soul, he doesn't know how to separate other people's souls from his body, let alone how to pull other people's souls out of his own spiritual world, and he doesn't know where to find the strange existence of the second reincarnation time.

So he quickly stopped thinking about this unrealistic idea, but gathered his mind and started what he had thought before, making another breakthrough in the "Heart Sutra of Catching the Sea", trying to divide his spiritual power into 64 parts!
