Chapter 386: Outlander
Strategic-level psionic skills are the top secret for any advanced civilization in the universe, because strategic-level psionic skills can cause the most direct damage to enemy fleets on the space battlefield, or can make or break the tide of the battle on the space battlefield.
This strategic-level psionic skill can be strong and weak, with the weak ones only dealing damage to a single spaceship, and the powerful ones can even create a temporary black hole that tears apart everything in the black hole's area of influence.
By casting the thunder gun skill just now, Leo clearly felt the potential of this psionic skill, although the power he cast now is not enough to compare with those psionic skills that affect the situation of the universe, but this is mainly because his psionic level is not enough, as his psionic level continues to increase, then the power of the thunder gun will also increase, that is to say, this is a psionic skill that can continuously improve its power.
In fact, Leo had already mastered one of the psionic skills that continuously improved the effect before this, and this skill was the spirit net.
The skill of the spiritual network has been developed to the extreme, and it can envelop a piece of space, and all the spaceships in the space will be affected by the spiritual network, and even the people in the spaceship will be directly controlled or killed by the spiritual network.
It stands to reason that the strategic-level psionic skill of the spiritual network should be set as the top secret by the creator's cosmic civilization, but the creator of the spiritual network may not have expected that the skill of the spiritual network would be so powerful, so at the beginning of creation, this psionic skill was published as an academic report. By the time the high-level of that cosmic civilization realized the potential of this psionic skill, the psionics who had learned the psychic network skill had spread throughout the universe.
It is precisely because of the mistakes in the spiritual network skills that the governments of various higher civilizations have begun to conduct quite strict supervision of all kinds of psychic skills announced to the outside world, which can be as fast as a year or two, or as long as hundreds of years, as for the strategic-level psionic skills, they are even more strictly controlled, and even the names have not been announced to the public.
When Leo was in the Earth Federation, he had never heard of any strategic-level psionic skills for a long time, just like civilians, until he protected a mid-level and high-ranking military who participated in a military training, and during the military training, he watched some battlefield images left over from the past, among which there was a psionic person who could walk in the universe and reached at least level nine to use a strategic-level psionic ability to crush three small space warships.
Leo couldn't have imagined that he would be able to obtain a real strategic-level psionic skill, even if it was an undoubted fact, he still looked at the hand who had just cast the thunder gun in disbelief.
"That's the Divine Thunder Spear created by the eldest son of God. Just as Leo was stunned, the voice of the fire defense girl suddenly sounded in the empty prayer hall.
Hearing this, Leo turned his head to look at the fire guard girl next to the campfire, and wondered, "Can you talk to me?"
"I'm just borrowing the power of the campfire to talk to you. The fire defense woman said in a deep voice.
"What's going on now?" Leo asked, frowning.
"Time and space in the place where everything ends are chaotic, and the prayer hall you are in now should be in the future, when the flames are about to be extinguished. ”
Leo asked again, "How am I going to get back to you?"
"There's no need, we're actually in the same place, it's just a different time. The fire defense girl then turned her head to Joey, who was still shocked by the thunder gun just now, not far away, her expression was a little solemn, and then turned to Leo and said, "I hope Your Excellency can help me ......"
Leo shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, the deal is done, and I'm not going to do anything for you." ”
"But this matter is related to the entire royal city......" The fire defense girl didn't expect Leo to answer like this, and was about to persuade Leo.
"What does that have to do with me?" asked Leo before the Fire Girl could finish speaking.
The fire defense girl was stunned, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
Leo turned his head and looked at Joey, his gaze swept over the other, and finally landed on the Ouroboros ring on Joey's hand.
Leo could feel that the Fire Defense Girl's sudden request to him came from Joey behind him, but he didn't understand why Joey, who was just an ordinary person, was concerned by the Fire Defense Girl, and now after seeing this Abyss Serpent Ring, he began to understand why the Fire Defense Girl's expression suddenly changed.
"Joey, where did you get the ring in your hand?" Leo asked without any concern, pointing pointedly to the Ouroboros ring.
"I picked it up. Joey looked a little nervous, and then quickly made up a set of words, only as he spoke, his hand instinctively shrunk towards the sleeve of his coat, so that the ring could be hidden by the sleeve.
Leo turned his head and said to the fire defense girl, "What you want me to do must have something to do with that ring, right?"
"Yes. The fire defense girl admitted: "That is the secret word of the Abyss Serpent, there are three in total, all of which were brought by the princess back then, and they are also the root of the fall of the royal city. I don't know why he was able to wear that ring, or why he was safe and sound, but I know for sure that the ring was very dangerous and had to be banned. ”
"But I don't think there's any danger in the ring. Leo replied coldly, then turned his head to look at Joey with a worried look on his face, and said to him, "Is there anything unusual about you after you put on the ring?"
"Anomalous?" Joey was puzzled.
"Like feeling unwell or hearing strange sounds. Leo thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice.
"No, no. Joey quickly replied, "Nothing out of the ordinary, I ......"
As he spoke, he paused suddenly, as if he thought that after he put on the ring, he had the qualifications to enter the royal city, and he also had the ability to disguise himself as a living corpse in the royal city, which should be considered an anomaly.
"What did you think of?" Leo asked, seeing Joey's expression.
Joey hesitated, according to his character, he naturally wouldn't tell anyone such an important matter, but he also heard the conversation between Leo and the fire defense girl just now, and knew that the ring in his hand was probably a very dangerous thing, and the strength that Leo showed just now also made him subconsciously feel that the other party would not have any greed for his ring.
So after a little hesitation, Joey chose to say what happened after he put on this ring. As Joey spoke, the fire girl stood on the edge of the campfire as much as she could, listening carefully to what was being said.
For what Joey said, Leo felt very ordinary, nothing abnormal, nothing more than getting an item with a special ability, and then having what ability, this kind of thing can't help but be in the world of Velon, even in various legends of the universe, there is no shortage of similar things, but most of them are high-tech items of some pre-civilization.
But what Joey said had a very different meaning in the ears of the fire girl, and she pondered for a moment as if she had thought of something, then suddenly turned and walked to the campfire, and dug her hand into the flames of the campfire.
The flames didn't cause any damage to the Fire Defense Girl, and they didn't reveal anything else, and it felt like the Fire Defense Girl was like air.
After a while, the fire defense woman withdrew her hand from the flames, then turned around, looked at Joey with a strange expression, and did not speak for a long time.
Seeing the reaction of the fire defense girl, Leo also made some guesses in his heart.
Judging from the attitude of the Fire Defense Girl, as long as the person who wears the Abyss Serpent Ring will inevitably be affected by some unknowns, but from the current point of view, Joey seems to have only gained some benefits from the ring, and has not received any abnormal effects, which is obviously different from the Fire Defense Girl's cognition. Therefore, the fire defense girl put her hand in the bonfire, she should have obtained some information from the bonfire through some ability, and the information obtained was probably completely beyond the fire defense girl's expectations, so the fire defense girl showed this expression.
"Can you stop looking at me like that?" The mask on the face of the fire defense girl itself is a little infiltrating, coupled with her current behavior, it makes people feel even more uncomfortable, Joey has an urge to activate the ring immediately and leave from here, but he still resists the urge to escape, because he knows very well that there must be some dangerous power hidden in this ring that he doesn't know, once he misses this opportunity today, maybe it will be impossible to know the bottom of this ring in the future.
"What did you find?" Leo walked a few steps to Joey's side, patted Joey on the shoulder, and asked the fire girl.
"He could be a real outlander. The fire defense girl said with some uncertainty.
"A real stranger?" Leo was stunned when he heard this, it was not the first time he had heard this name, he had always thought it was a general term for outsiders, but now it seemed that this outsider had a specific meaning. And Joey heard such a name for the first time, and showed a puzzled look, waiting for the fire defense girl to explain.
But instead of answering immediately, the fire girl went to the pile of books by the campfire and rummaged through them for a while, pulled one out of it, flipped it quickly, and finally stopped on one of the pages, spread it out, and laid it out in front of Leo and Joey.
I saw that this page is a painting with a strong religious atmosphere, in the painting there are gods with blurred faces, mortals suffering in the world, and some hellish monsters and countless human pus composed of an ocean, and the most eye-catching thing in this drawing is a person at the edge of the drawing, this person is lying outside the frame on the edge of the drawing, tilting his head, looking at the image in the picture with a curious face.
"Is this a foreigner?" Seeming to forget the strong malice shown by the fire defense girl just now, Joey leaned forward to look at the pattern, and couldn't help but reach out and point to the person lying outside the frame on the pattern.
However, when his finger touched the pattern of the stranger, something happened that neither Leo nor the Fire Girl expected, only to see that Joey's finger did not pass through the illusion-like book because of the dislocation of time and space, as the two expected, but actually pointed on the book, and because of the power of the point, the Fire Defense Girl, who was not at all defenseless, was unable to grasp the book, causing the book to fall from her hand. It's just that after the book landed, it was not in the time and space where the fire defense girl was, but in the time and space where Leo was now, because Leo had already picked up the book at this moment.
"What's going on?" the Fire Defense Girl was completely stunned by the scene in front of her, and half of her face was covered with a surprised expression written under the mask, apparently this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
Joey didn't understand the situation at all, and in his opinion, he had just inadvertently lost a book in the hands of the Fire Guard, and he didn't know that there was such a fuss as Leo and the Fire Girl.
Leo looked at the book in his hand, then at Joey on the side, then handed the book to Joey and said, "Give it back to her." ”
Joey didn't quite understand what Leo meant by doing this, because in terms of location, Leo's position was obviously closer to the fire defense girl than him, and he just gave the book to the fire defense girl, so why bother to get it again?
It's just that he didn't understand, he still did it, and after taking the book from Leo's hand, he handed it to the fire defense girl, and the fire defense girl was still immersed in the abnormal situation just now, and when she saw the book handed over, she didn't think much about it.
Just like just now, the book did not pass through the hands of the fire defense girl, but actually fell into the hands of the fire defense girl, which once again made the fire defense girl fall into a surprising mood.
And so it was. As he spoke, Leo reached out and touched the book in the fire girl's hand, and this time he was not able to touch the book like Joey, but passed through it.
After his guess was confirmed, Leo turned his head to look at Joey on the side with a somewhat complicated expression, and said, "Although I don't know what other abilities you have, it seems that from now on, you should be able to connect with all the overlapping time and space of this city." ”
Joey didn't understand what Leo was talking about, and he didn't understand the meaning of words like time and space, but he could understand part of the meaning, which was that he had an ability that he didn't know about, and this ability seemed very unusual.
After hearing Leo's words and recalling the situation just now, the fire defense girl also looked at Joey with surprise, and at the same time, there was a trace of inexplicable excitement in her eyes, as if Joey had become some shocking magical existence.
"Mr. Leo, what is my ability?" He didn't like to be looked at like this by the fire defense girl, he took two steps back slightly, and asked Leo with a little expectation, "It should be useful, right?"
Leo knew that Joey must not understand some scientific explanations, thought for a while, and said: "You can think of it this way, there are countless rooms like Wangcheng that collect endless treasures, each room has a door, this door can not be opened by other people in the room, only you can open any door, enter every room, do you think your ability is useful?"
Hearing Leo's words, Joey's breathing became much heavier, and his face became even more flushed with excitement.
