"You're going to the imperial capital?"

"That's not close to here. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"You have to find a spacious and comfortable carriage first, otherwise you will never survive the wind and dust of the journey. ”

"As for the route to travel, there are several that can go directly to the imperial capital, and the road conditions and risks, distance and supplies and other conditions also have their own advantages and disadvantages......

Bunir was silently reciting the spell in his heart, but on the surface he still looked friendly and kind. The kindness revealed in the words made it difficult for people to discover the vigilance and murderous intent in the heart of this gloomy old man.

For a mage who specializes in the spiritual department, the requirements of single-mindedness and silent spell casting are completely the basic skills of "career".

Some powerful psychic mages can even cast several different types of magic at the same time, and in the process of casting spells, they will not affect their verbal conversation with others.

Distract your enemies with overt words, then secretly chant powerful psychic spells to make them lose themselves before they know it. This kind of thing can be said to be the specialty of psychic mages, and this has become their basic routine in fighting enemies.

Rigid rules can lead to chaos, but strict order can last forever.

Although people with a little insight have some understanding of this method of fighting, there are very few existences that have really found the flaws in this routine and used them to counteract the mind mages in the past thousands of years.

Just like the "all-army charge" of the Knights of Champions and the "one lift and two bows" of the Royal Griffin Guard, the means that can become a benchmark for group combat may not be the most powerful and unpredictable, but it must be the most suitable and difficult to target.

Bunier never imagined that the routine he had spent half his life would one day bury himself.

Since the day he became a full-fledged mage, Bunier has encountered a variety of enemies and battles, but his fighting style has never changed, and he has never been successfully targeted by the enemy.

Not to mention that the enemy in front of him didn't know the identity of his mind mage, even if he knew, now that the spell was about to end, he didn't think that the other party could come up with any effective means to stop it.

"When you fight against psychic mages, you have to attack at the first opportunity, and you can't give them time to secretly prepare powerful spells. Especially in battle, you have to keep their attention distracted at all times, otherwise you may be killed by a 'mental silence' at any point. ”

This passage from the "Code of Conduct for Students of the Imperial Capital Knight Academy" has been widely circulated in the material continent, and has been cited many times in various books describing the characteristics of professionals, and has become a guide for many professionals to deal with mind mages.

Of course, the victory or defeat of the real battle still depends on the strength of the two sides and their respective means, and the biggest effect of this passage is to let people understand the fighting style of the mind mage, so as not to take their lives as if they were teased when dealing with them.

Mind mages are naturally not evil spirits and monsters, but because of the scarcity of the number of mages who study the mind department and the strange methods, many guiding books and teachers who teach students will focus on mentioning them.

What's more, understanding is not necessarily the same as understanding, as can be seen from the Sharp Knight.

"I still have too little experience. ”

As the spell "Consciousness Deprivation" was gradually completed, Bunier gradually slowed down the pace of his explanation of the actual route, trying to distract the other party as much as possible.

And the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, in order to hide the murderous intent accumulated in his chest.

The mage doesn't care if this ugly guy is a conspirator with ulterior motives or an innocent passerby who has stumbled into it, and since the other party has seen something he shouldn't see, Bunier must make sure that he doesn't divulge the secrets of the "Temple of Knowledge".

No matter what the reason for the "Temple of Knowledge" is, and no matter how damn Sharp is, designing and killing the chief knight of a powerful nobleman for no reason is definitely not a trivial matter that can be ignored. Not to mention that there is a game between the two temples here, as well as a lot of secret information that cannot be known to outsiders.

In any case, the best way to solve this problem is to make this "human-talking" monster disappear completely, whether it is a soul or a shell.

But soon, the smile on the face of the confident mage froze, and the many protective spells engraved on the robe were activated at the first time.

Plastic Energy Medium-level Protective Spell - "Atmospheric Shield";

The high-level protection spell of the Psychic Department - "Thinking Deflection";

Change-based mid-level protection spell - "Transform Steel";

The three non-interfering protective spells are activated in the form of a ladder and complement each other in practice.

The intense aura of the spell emitted as it worked made Bunier look like a large torch burning with purple flames.

The seemingly rock-solid three layers of protection did not make the mage's ugly face any better, because the crisis he faced did not come from the external environment, but from the infection of the mind and spirit.

It's ridiculous to say that a gold-rank psychic mage can be unknowingly infected by the enemy. It would be fine if the strength of this enemy was far superior to his own, but in Bounier's perception, the strength of the other party was just worthy of stepping over the golden gate.

"What a weird nature of power. ”

Buniel's expression became more and more ugly, and the difficulty of the other party was far above his initial estimate. He really didn't expect that the rickety monster was also an expert in psychic power.

If that's all it takes, it's nothing more than that the situation between the two has changed from "Master Bunier's unilateral crushing" to "the two of them each use their means to separate their life and death".

But the current situation is that the other party's untamed spiritual power is extremely aggressive and infectious, and there is a world of difference between it and the spiritual power that the psychic mage extracts from the pure spiritual power of the self.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't sense the abyssal aura in him, Bunier even suspected that he had encountered some crippled succubus.

"It stands to reason that such a mixed spiritual power should always infect the self's main consciousness, so how did this damn guy survive!"

Bunier has completely abandoned the perception of the outside world and focused all his attention on this clash of spiritual levels.

This kind of decision is very irrational, because once the other party has the ability to break through his own protective spells, he can only be slaughtered if he has no time to respond.

Of course, a mage with a lot of combat experience understands this, but he has no choice.

If it is just an ordinary psychic attack and defense, even if the opponent's strength is very weird, Bunier can completely resist the enemy's psychic invasion while attacking the enemy with some medium- and low-level spells that can be instantaneous.

But not now, the timing of the immoral monster was too coincidental, and it happened to be stuck at the point when Bunier was about to complete the "deprivation of consciousness" spell. The mixed and strange psychic power had a great impact on the mage's spirit, and it also made the spell that was about to take shape completely out of control.

The backlash caused by the failure of the high-level psychic spell had a strong impact on Buniel's consciousness, so much so that he had no time to take care of the strange spiritual power that he had taken advantage of.

And when he forcibly suppressed the backlash and freed his hands to expel the other party, he found that a small part of his consciousness world had been polluted and assimilated by the mixed spirit.

As a result, the "charge battle" became a "positional war", and Bunier, who had made a mistake, completely lost the initiative.

In order not to be annihilated by the other party's spirit, and become an unconscious walking dead or a flesh puppet subject to people, the mage chose a way to deal with it that seemed extremely stupid to others.

He was gambling, gambling that the other party would not be able to break the protective spell engraved on his robe until he regained the initiative in the world of consciousness.

If he wins, Bunier will naturally be able to regain the initiative in the battle, and then make the ugly monster understand what "Psychic Mage's Fury" is.

If he loses, it's nothing, at least he has the right to choose to self-destruct, which will not only destroy the evidence of other people's accusations against the Temple of Knowledge, but also make that damn bastard pay a serious price.

With more than 300 years of career, Bunier has long been mentally prepared to face death, and he is not afraid of the withering of life, but more afraid of becoming a flesh and blood tool of a spiritual master in the hands of his former enemies.
