Chapter 38: Control (Thanks to 20200501111531857 for the tip)
Standing in front of Wendy's eyes, he thought a lot at once, as if he was shocked and didn't know how to react.
At this moment, Wendy's face and body, although they are still humanoid, are more of the characteristics of beasts, or even monsters.
There is no doubt that even true love may not be able to accept this side, and the reason why Ron did not answer immediately is also because of this.
He gave Wendy a complicated look and said, "Who caused this?"
"It's the physician whose surname is Abraham, and his real identity is a vampire. 'Wendy', who was covered in vampire features, responded.
"Well, do you know where he is now?" Ron's tone suddenly turned to gritted teeth.
"It doesn't matter anymore, he can't interfere with us at all. Wendy shook her head, "Besides, even if you find it, you won't be able to kill him, and I'm sure the young man over there knows that." ”
"Yes, Mr. Covind. Vampires must be killed by high-ranking magic or magic, not by the soldiers in your village. Xavier added a few words to Wendy's words.
"Then I can only look at Wendy like this, and he has become like this, and I can't take revenge?" Ron felt very aggrieved.
"Unless you can find a powerful magician, you can only endure it. Xavier next to him pointed out, "Compared to this, I believe that Miss Wendy's most hope at this moment is not that you will help her get revenge, but a definite answer." ”
"Although she has been able to control herself initially and not become like this, can you really accept it? accept that she has such a side?"
"Isn't what I just said enough to prove it?" Ron asked, "yes, my integrity is not very good." ”
He looked at Wendy's not-so-human face and said seriously, "I don't mind, but you should have told me that you were in that situation, and maybe you could have pulled me out of the abyss of greed." ”
"What's more, you have said that you can already control the situation, I abandoned you once because of my stupidity, and this time, I will not make a mistake again. ”
"Of course I wouldn't mind you looking like this, but I should be asking you, are you willing to forgive me?"
Hearing this, some tears suddenly flowed out of Wendy's eyes, as if the grievances in her heart for many years had melted away at this moment.
"I do. She responded.
The vampire's features on her body slowly disintegrated, and Wendy turned back into the woman in red, and she and Ron, her former husband, embraced each other.
Ron hugged her waist tightly and didn't let go for a long time.
Xavier next to him watched this scene silently, and did not say a word.
He waited for an answer.
And this reply is only one sentence, and that is a 'thank you' from Wendy.
The figure in red overlapped with the figure in the earl's suit, and vanished from Xavier's eyes.
A trance came to Xavier's mind, and he seemed to have been forcibly expelled from the illusion and returned to the bridge near the village of Imu.
The midday sun, brilliantly, warmly sprinkled on him, giving him a very real sense of warmth.
It seems that his mission is over.
He left the bridge, looked back, and said no more.
At the same time, in my mind, a chime sounded for the first time in a long time.
The system has come up less often, mainly because Xavier hasn't paid much attention to it lately.
This time, there are two main surprises.
One is the various evil ghosts he defeated before, the various strange events he completed, and the phantom vampire, which gave him a lot of swordsman experience points.
[Current Swordsman XP 855/1000]
If I remember correctly, the last time he checked this value, it was only more than 400 or more than 500, and he actually obtained nearly double the value because of these events, which he didn't expect.
In addition, helping Wendy is actually a complete mission, in which he received an S rating and received a related reward for it.
Among the five bonus skill points, he used two skill points and added a skill to increase attack power, which is the second-level skill 'Blood Enhancement' after the 'Vampire' column.
As for the other three skill points, the usefulness may be a bit magical, and Xavier has only recently discovered them.
It was essentially an enhanced version of the Mark of Axes, a magic that I didn't know what it was classified as a magic that had a name that would give people strange thoughts, hypnosis.
It has more effect than the Seal of Yakxi in that it can forcibly control the opponent's actions, even if it hurts the opponent himself.
Moreover, it can act on two people at the same time, not necessarily a human, a dog can also do, as long as it is some intelligent creature, this behavior can be achieved.
This means that he can force two people to act according to their own ideas, instead of simply forcing each other to tell some truths as before.
Of course, this kind of action will be very unnatural to outsiders, and if the person being controlled is forced to fight, he will fight like a doll, without much combat power, and it is easy for people to notice that something is wrong.
What's more, hypnosis will continue to consume mana, so Xavier can't use it to a large extent, and can only use it to become a lethal weapon in critical situations.
Xavier looked at the surrounding trees and spotted a wandering creature hiding in the grass.
It was a lone dog.
The surrounding water ghosts, evil ghosts, etc., have been cleaned up by him and the viscount at the beginning, so the creatures in the vicinity have become diverse again.
That's why Xavier was able to see a human companion here.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as the dog saw him, he immediately ran away, leaving Xavier a little speechless.
Looks like he didn't do anything, huh?
There was no choice but to go around and see if there were any lucky creatures and let him experiment.
A poor rabbit became his target.
After using 15 magic powers, the rabbit's eyes suddenly turned blood-red.
Xavier was sensitive to the fact that every minute that passed, as long as he was still controlling the rabbit, his mana would keep dropping.
It's about two to four points of mana per minute.
It means that Xavier can probably only control this rabbit, about a few dozen minutes, less than an hour's level.
If it is controlled by two people at the same time, this time will be halved.
He also didn't know if the control of humans would take more magic than the control of animals.
Back in Xavier's eyes, he saw that the rabbit's legs were moving awkwardly.
After every few steps, like a rabbit learning to walk, he fell flat on the ground.
But he never gave up, stood up again and again, and finally walked on a path in a balanced and slow way.
Xavier was proud of it, and wiped the sweat from his face by the way.
Mom, he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to control walking.
He felt that it wasn't hypnosis at all, but something akin to coincidentalization, because you were like a console owner, and you were going to control the character with a controller.
Of course, after the control is completed, the rabbit will not die, but it will lose the memory just now, and look at everything around it in confusion.
This is the biggest difference between it and coincidentalization.
After becoming a little more proficient, Xavier unhypnotized the rabbit, which he now prefers to refer to as control.
Next, it is necessary to return to the capital of Vasiliki, Crete, according to the original purpose.
Xavier looked in a certain direction and took his steps.
