Chapter 44: The Power of the Imperial Family (Part II)
[It's really weird, I fell asleep, this is too late, it can't be counted yesterday, today's three watches]
Lord Rex was laughing and talking, but Salin didn't say a word, and honestly hid behind Sika and Neris, continuing to feel the breath of this man.
This man had caused him a great deal of mental pressure, and it was hidden, not directed at Salin.
Salin was proud of his strong spiritual power, and now he found that although his spiritual power was dozens of times more than that of a mage of the same level, it was full of holes in this trace of pressure. If this person attacks himself and completely explodes into murder, he may not even be able to cast a level 0 magic.
Releasing magic requires mental power to control, just like a swordsman uses a weapon, if there is no power to control the weapon, the weapon will be the first to hurt the swordsman himself.
Sarin didn't back down, but kept it that way, feeling the pressure. Because this pressure was not directed at Salin, Salin's mental power showed no signs of collapse, but gradually became more cohesive under this pressure.
Everything else Salin couldn't feel it, only the slightest pressure, which became ubiquitous, constantly tempering his spiritual power.
The person Saleen had never felt was none other than Byrne, who was hidden between the coachman and the Lord of Rex. When Salin began to search for a few of them, Byrne just smiled slightly, but then Salin found him, which surprised Byrne very much, even if it is a great magician, it is difficult to find out about his existence, how did this little magician do it?
Byrne was curious, and then he discovered that Saleen had been observing him and using the power he had leaked out to cultivate.
The courage is not small, but he is not afraid of mental collapse!
Byrne quietly unleashed even more powerful pressure, and this time, it was only against Saleen. Salin immediately felt as if his spiritual power was caught in the sea, the storm was raging, and the giant wolf was monstrous. Saleen felt like a bird caught in the waves, ready to be torn to pieces.
The power was so great that Salin had to withdraw from that mysterious state and quickly turn to the defensive. Byrne's strength is too much more than Saline's, Salin doesn't talk about fighting back, if Byrne adds a little more pressure, he will die completely, and even the necromancer can't save him.
Saleen didn't give up, he knew that if he really couldn't hold on, he could hide in the necklace of the goddess Myers. There, any external power can only obey. No matter how powerful this person is, he can't control the necklace of the goddess. And this power is not trying to kill himself, but more like playing a game with himself.
Being teased by someone should have been angry, but it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he persists, Sarin's mental power will be turned upside down. If you escape, this exercise will become a psychological shadow and keep pestering you.
It's just that brute resistance is not enough, Salin's spiritual power is wrapped in this power, and at the same time, the rules of this power can also be analyzed in detail. He remembered the space he had first entered when he had entered the necklace of the goddess Myers, and the power was so similar. Saleen began to try to analyze it.
Once he entered the state of learning, Salin's heart was completely relaxed, and his mental power was constantly compressed, washed, and less and less, but Salin also began to absorb this power and add it to his spiritual power. Although it absorbed very little, it made the tenacity of spiritual power increase rapidly.
Byrne immediately noticed the change and immediately withdrew his power. This power is incomparably precious, and if Salin absorbs a little, there is a little less. What surprised him was that how could Saleen, a second-level magician, have some feelings of familiarity with this kind of power rules? I had known that I wouldn't play with this kid, although the loss this time was very small, it would take several months to repair it.
With this withdrawal of his strength, Salin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. If it were other magicians, I am afraid that they would immediately use meditation techniques to restore the mental power consumed and try to stabilize this state as much as possible, but Salin did not do this.
He quietly pulled out the family crest and released a level 0 magic.
"Hmm. Neris snorted softly, and leaned back against Saleen. She was also used to the various negative states of Saleen after using the badge, but it was only too sudden that she accidentally called out.
"Ahem......"
Seeing Nellis leaning on Saleen, the bodies of the two were almost entangled, Lord Rex coughed, wanting to remind Salyn that if you are affectionate, it is best to wait until there is no one.
Of course, Salin couldn't listen to Lord Rex, and now he could move except for his left hand, and his whole body was paralyzed, and he couldn't even speak. The badge absorbed the magic strings to the bottom, and the spiritual power was also drained, Salin lowered his eyelids, and only hoped that this time would pass as soon as possible.
The badge hidden in the sleeve absorbed Salin's energy this time, and the lightning-shaped deep scar in the center lit up blue again, and it didn't disappear immediately, the blue condensed into a liquid state, and was slowly absorbed by the badge. Salin's body shook, and the badge in his hand suddenly seemed to come to life at this moment, to be exact, as if it had become a part of his body.
But this feeling is too vague, not like the feeling of blood connection in the left hand. Salin could only feel a familiar breath that fed back from inside the badge and into his body. This breath was extracted from the mysterious man. Originally, with Salin's spiritual power, it was relatively difficult to forcibly extract this kind of power, and it was not integrated with spiritual power, so there was a hidden danger in the end.
But the breath sent back by the badge was perfectly integrated with his spiritual power. There are pros and cons to this blend. The good thing is that Salin's future spiritual power naturally carries this kind of aggression, and it is extremely condensed and tenacious. The disadvantage is that if Saleen wants to analyze this power in the future, I am afraid that he needs to enter the necklace of the goddess Myers to do so.
The spiritual power of a magician is inseparable, which is related to the study of souls, once the spiritual power is divided, the soul is also harmed. If you want to observe your spiritual power, the space in the necklace of the goddess Myers is a mirror, and in addition, Saleen can only experience it through battle. It's going to be a long process.
Salin was a little helpless, he hadn't figured out what this badge was. In addition to increasing spiritual power, now there is finally one more caste, and the badge can make one's spiritual power pure, and integrate other powers in spiritual power. Of the magic books Salin had seen, there were the least descriptions of it. Generally speaking, only magicians will have even the slightest touch on the secrets of the soul. Necromancers are no exception.
Salin opened his eyes and found that Lord Rex was looking at him, and when he saw Salin wake up, Lord Rex nodded. Byrne was too foolish to use that kind of power, but fortunately Salin was fine, and if he died, he would be in big trouble. Who knows what his teacher's status is in Alchemy City.
I don't know if Saleen has been mentally harmed, and Lord Rex is worried. If a magician's mental power is seriously damaged, it may be difficult to advance in the future. If that's the case, how can you feel at ease?
There is no turning back from the magical path you have chosen, and hurting a genius mage will have a serious impact on your state of mind. Thinking of this, Lord Rex's eyes became a little strange.
If Saleen dies because of her, she won't feel guilty, that's Saleen's choice. If Saleen is deposed because of Byrne's teasing, Lord Rex will be extremely uncomfortable.
For magicians, truth is greater than life.
Salin saw Lord Rex's concerned gaze and nodded with a smile. Fang Cai almost couldn't support it, but the benefits were huge. But you can't tell the county lord about this, if you really care about me, you can use the magic core to compensate. Salin was so happy that he didn't use meditation, but leaned on Neris weakly, waiting for everything to recover naturally.
Saleen hadn't realized how important the changes in his body had been this time. In the past, the badge absorbed his energy, and he could only wait for his mental power to recover before performing meditation techniques to restore the magic strings. However, in the future, his mental power will be fed back from the badge, and he will no longer have to wait, and he will be able to directly enter the recovery state.
Along the way, Salin didn't speak, and the Lord of Rex didn't ask directly, so the team traveled eastward, and in half a month, they came to a wide river. The river is not fast, but it is more than 200 meters wide. The water is soothing and the river is clear. An iron bridge was erected over the river and was several meters wide.
The team stopped, and the soldier outside the car whispered, "County Lord, someone is blocking the road." ”
"Oh, did the striker tell me who I am?"
"That's it, county lord, and show me the badge. ”
"Then ask me what to do, and that's it. Lord Rex said lightly, and the soldier replied in a deep voice, and rode away.
To the west of the riverbank, at the head of the iron bridge, more than thirty soldiers in armor blocked the way. The soldiers looked proudly at the army in the distance with contempt. On the other side of the iron bridge, there were two light horsemen of a hundred people, looking at Hexi from a distance, but they were holding military double-bowed crossbows.
The officer at the head sneered, stood at the head of the bridge with his sword raised, and thought: "What bullshit county lord, I don't believe they dare to cross the bridge." There are two hundred crossbows here, which can shoot 600 arrows at a time. No matter how wide the iron bridge is, it can be completely covered. This bridge is the Earl's private property, and if you break into it, I will dare to kill you. ”
There were only more than 100 people in the vanguard of the Kushui Army, all of whom stood solemnly on horseback, ignoring the provocative eyes of those soldiers in the distance. Soon, the soldiers behind rushed in and shouted, "Lord Tinis, let the county lord pass." ”
The officer's eyes lit up and he replied, "Yes!"
He kicked the horse in the belly, wrapped the reins around the saddle, and shouted, "Brothers, forward!"
"Forward!"
More than a hundred soldiers responded at the same time, and the officer named Tinis drew his riding sword from the saddle and was the first to rush out. More than a hundred soldiers behind him drew their swords at the same time, making a sound of brushing in unison. The sound of the clash of gold and iron was so loud that the thirty or so soldiers at the head of the bridge felt as if they had been hit hard in their hearts, and a few of them actually got off their horses one by one. The rest of the people panicked, and before they could figure out how to negotiate, the cavalry on the opposite side had already rushed to them.
