Chapter Seventy-One: Apprentice's Notes

After leaving the black market, Leo went to the alley to look for the little boy, but because it was already night, the children who were playing here had already gone home, and only a group of drunks crouched in the area to brag and frolic.

Although he was a little disappointed, Leo didn't take this matter to heart, he didn't leave the fish city, but booked a room in a fairly clean hotel on the outskirts of the fish city, and planned to stay here tonight.

In the hotel room, after telling the waiter to fetch some food and wine, Leo closed the door, plugged it in, and went to his desk to turn up the fire of the oil lamp to the maximum.

He took out the wizard's apprentice notes, the special bullet with insufficient psionic energy, and the black document bag from his backpack and placed them on the table, then he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, it had been almost two days since he put the normal bullet in the queen's magazine, and the results would be visible in half an hour.

Leo opened his pocket watch, placed it next to the oil lamp, drew out the queen, placed it on the table, and then picked up the food and wine and munched on it.

Half an hour later, Leo picked up the queen again, poured a bullet out of the magazine, and the subbrain system immediately analyzed and reported the results, and a smile appeared on his face.

Just as he had received information from the Queen's psionic powers, two days ago it was an ordinary bullet of five hundred gold flanges, but now it was a special bullet worth five hundred gold flanges.

Leo withdrew the other bullets one by one, carefully checking them one by one, and all of them had already undergone metamorphosis without exception.

After placing the five bullets in the ammo pack, Leo picked out five more bullets from the unpsionic bullets and put them in the magazine.

He wanted to see if it would shorten the time it would take, and if he could, he might be able to collect a batch of these defective special bullets at a very low price to fill his ammunition depot in a short time.

Putting the special bullets aside, and waiting two hours to check on the queen's cultivation of bullets, Leo's eyes shifted to the wizard's notebook.

After two days of study, Leo himself may want to speak Old France fluently, and it is still very difficult to read articles in Old France, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it without a year and a half, but for the paracerebral system, these Old Francis are no longer a problem.

Leo, who had long been itching about the mysterious power of this world, decided to use the subbrain system as a translator to decipher this wizard's apprentice notebook.

By the light of the oil lamp, Leo slowly flipped through the notebook, and every time he looked at a line, the paracerebral system would project the translated content on the retina, and the interesting thing was that some ancient French words only used a dozen words to express the meaning, but after translation, there were more than 100 lines of text translated in modern French and English languages, which also made Leo's reading speed very slow, and it took him six hours to barely finish reading this not very thick notebook.

The contents of this notebook are very fragmented, mostly some beginnings and tails, and some experimental records, it can be seen that the owner of this notebook and his mentor are conducting an experiment similar to biological breeding, and the test subjects are both humans and animals, such as rats and moths, which reminds Leo of the cases in Cage City.

These experimental data may be useful to some people, because they can do similar experiments without many detours, but for Leo they are not as important as a nursery rhyme about the Black Forest at the beginning of the note.

However, Leo didn't just discard the boring data content, he recorded it in the Pride Parabrain system, and then sorted it into a database for later access.

There are only three things that are most useful to Leo in the whole note, one is the nursery rhyme recorded on the cover of the note, the other is the wizard's meditation method recorded at the end, and the last one is a psychic skill called psychic sorcery recorded in the middle of the note.

The nursery rhyme was written in a very old Old French poetic form, with three verses of sixteen lines each, and it was very evocative to read aloud in Old Franic, like singing, but it was obscure to translate it into modern French and English.

The first verse of the nursery rhyme is about a little girl who lives in a village next to the Black Forest, accidentally enters the Black Forest, gets lost in the fog, and comes to a fairyland. In the fairyland, the little fairy led her to the golden deer that supported the heavens and the earth, and it was up to him to judge whether the little girl was pure.

In the second verse, after confirming the purity of the little girl, the giant deer let the little girl enter the kingdom of the gods that he carried, met the gods who lived there, and received the blessings of the gods, but when she left, she took a table knife from the gods' table out of greed.

After the story enters the third verse, the little girl falls into the realm of eternal darkness because of greed, but she uses her wisdom to deceive the shadow black lion who controls the world, and successfully escapes from the realm of eternal darkness.

For the average person, this nursery rhyme is just a nursery rhyme, but for Leo, who has seen the mist wonderland and the golden deer with his own eyes, this nursery rhyme is what really happened.

Since the Mist Wonderland, the Golden Deer, and the Little Fairy are all real, it is likely that the kingdom of the gods, the realm of eternal darkness, the gods, the shadow black lion, and so on mentioned in verses 2 and 3 of the nursery rhyme exist.

Leo didn't understand why these so-called gods were now gone, leaving only a few legends, but he felt that it should be a good thing for the humans of this world.

However, no matter what, Leo felt that when his strength was enough and his willpower was no longer affected by those mysterious beings, he must go to the Black Forest again.

The wizard's meditation at the end of the note is probably the most detailed information in the entire notebook, and the owner of this note analyzes and annotates this meditation almost word for word, which can be easily understood even by Leo who is new to the occult of this world.

It's just that most of the content of this meditation method is to record how to improve one's own spiritual power and how to improve one's magic power, and these methods are obviously much worse than Leo's own spiritual network skills.

Practicing this meditation requires a specific amount of time, a specific ritual, and so on, but the final effect is not necessarily as expected, and Leo's spiritual network can be opened all the time as long as his spiritual energy allows, and it will continue to accumulate twenty-four hours a day.

Just like he has also activated the spiritual network now, but his spiritual network has been suppressed in his brain, which can not only reduce the consumption of spiritual energy, but also maintain the effect of the spiritual network in exercising spiritual power, and can also release the spiritual network in time when needed.

He has been practicing according to this method for two days, and now his spiritual base value has also increased by 0.5, I believe that in two more days, he will be able to increase a basic value, and this effect is much better than this wizard's meditation method.

It's just that this meditation method is not useless, because in this meditation method, there is a special method for practicing magic control, which is much better than the practice method of improving the precise control of spiritual energy sorted out by the Earth Federation, and Leo is ready to sort it out, combined with the spiritual control method of the Earth Federation, to become his own special spiritual control practice method.

Compared to the previous two documents, it is this witchcraft called spiritism by the wizard's apprentice that is the most valuable to Leo.

This spiritistic witchcraft did not originate from the mentor of the wizard's apprentice, but from a very old religious book that recorded a method of communicating with the gods, which was spiritism, but its original name was psychics, but the wizard's apprentice thought the name was unpleasant, so he changed it.

From the wizard's apprentice's own understanding of this spiritism, it is believed that this spiritism can communicate with certain spiritual beings, such as ghosts, etc., but the ancient people did not understand this, so they regarded ghosts as gods.

Because of this, the apprentice wizard didn't pay much attention to spiritism, and copied it in a pile of experimental data, which could be missed if he wasn't careful. And compared to the later meditation method, it is likely that this wizard apprentice copied this psychic and did not study it further after the operation, so the text such as annotation analysis is only a few lines.

However, after Leo's careful analysis, it was found that this witchcraft called spiritism had a strong resemblance to the spiritual chain in the Earth Federation's advanced spirit network skills.

The psionic skill of the Psyker Chain is the first step for any psyker to move from tactical to strategic, and the psyker who has mastered this psionic skill will be able to link the pilot spirits of all the fighter units together in the fleet, allowing them to form a single body to form the most famous swarm attack.

It is also possible to link the spirit of the captain of each battleship in the fleet, ignore the enemy's quantum communication interference, and directly build an interstellar battlefield map in the minds of all captains, so that the captain can perfectly command the attack direction of each battleship.

It's just that in order to master the spirit chain skill, the physical fitness of the psionic not only needs to reach the level of an omega-level advanced creature, but even the psionic energy must also reach the lowest satellite level among the interstellar psionics, which is an unattainable goal for Leo today.

However, this psychic technique can now help Leo obtain psionic skills similar to the spirit chain in advance.

Although spiritism cannot do such an exaggerated thing as linking the spirits of millions to tens of millions of people at the same time, covering the entire interstellar realm, it can allow Leo to form a spiritual link with certain beings in a one-on-one situation.

These beings include both humans and animals, and even the existence of ghosts and other spiritual beings is also among them, and of course there may be gods and spirits that may also exist.

It's just that the spiritism recorded by the wizard's apprentice has too much religious language in it, and it needs to be reanalyzed and sorted out before it can be integrated into his current list of psionic skills.

Leo handed over the two gains from the wizard's apprentice's notes, spiritism and psionic precision control exercises, to the sub-brain system for analysis and modification, perhaps because of the fact that a large part of his mental power was occupied by dealing with two psionic skills at the same time, and he rarely felt mentally exhausted.

In the process of reading the wizard's notes, Leo also stopped twice to check the situation of the bullets in the queen's magazine, and the result made him very happy, and in three to four hours, the defective parts of these special bullets had been restored to ordinary special bullets, which made Leo's ammo pack replenish a lot faster.

"It seems that tomorrow it will be necessary to make a trip to the leather goods store, customize a few ammunition packs and holsters, and by the way, make a few bullet belts. After placing the new five special bullets in the ammo pack, Leo looked at the almost full ammo pack, and then at the gun holster that didn't fit well around his waist, and he had a decision in his mind.

In this way, Leo sat at the desk in the guest's room, sat all night, and from time to time broke away from the state of closing his eyes and recuperating, replacing the bullets in the queen's magazine, and checking the progress of the two psionic skills analyzed by the subbrain.

Fortunately, when he was on the battlefield, Leo had already learned how to rest his body and mind in the shortest amount of time, so the quality of his rest at the end of the night would not be much worse than usual, as evidenced by the return of his daily value to the full value of his will.

Leo hadn't touched the black file bag on the table all night, and he wanted to take a casual look at it while he was resting to get a little bit of a sense of the situation, but his instinctive instinct reminded him that it was best to wait until he was full of energy and free from other distractions.

Just when the noise resounded on the streets of Yucheng City, a dazzling sunlight that could not be regarded as morning light came in through the window and shone on the desk, Leo's eyes appeared in front of the paracerebral system after a night of sorting and summarizing.

The method of improving the precise control of psionic energy is not a skill, but a talent, which is different from other psionic perception and battle will talents, and this talent can be improved.

The level of the Psionic Control talent is now Level 1, and by practicing the training method attached to the talent, you can increase the percentage of progress at the end of the talent bar, which in turn increases the level of the talent.

Leo experimented with the training method that came with the talent, releasing the psionic energy from his hand, causing it to rest on the palm of his hand and condense into a three-dimensional geometric shape such as a sphere, square, triangle, etc.

Because it was the first time to practice, let alone turn the psionic energy into various geometric shapes, it was difficult to fix it in the palm of your hand.

After consuming nearly twenty points of psionic energy, Leo reluctantly gathered the psionic energy in his hand, did not let it be released, but just wanted to condense it into various shapes, which I am afraid he could not do in a short time.

And after nearly an hour of practice, the completion percentage behind the psionic control talent has only increased by 1.5 percent.

Compared to the psionic control talent that requires continuous practice to improve, the auxiliary brain system is much more straightforward about the sorting of spiritism, and after sorting it out, a new psionic skill is formed, and it is a complete skill that can be activated.

The name of this skill also follows the name of spiritism, and the introduction is very simple, just a sentence, the spirit communicates with the spirit of all things, but there is a hint at the end, and the prompt content is that the side effects are unknown.
