Curt slammed the door to the meditation room and sat down on the cushions, gasping for air. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) In his eyes, the whole world is being disassembled and reassembled, transformed into layers of three-dimensional images.

Psykers have a deep understanding of the multiverse, and they can see through the surface of things to the deep core. The use of spiritual power to interfere with the essence of all things, and then lead to various phenomena, this is the principle of operation of psychic powers.

In the dimly lit meditation room, Curt's breathing gradually calmed down. A dazzling silver light appeared on his forehead, and at the same time it came through his eyes. The space that surrounds Curt fluctuates in layers, torn apart by invisible forces. Finally, Curt glanced at the candlestick one step away from him, causing it to disappear into a burst of silver light.

With his newfound powers, Curt cut off the flow of time, causing the candlestick to disappear from reality for a full six seconds. This is a level 3 psychic ability, Time Jump. Psionic energy is focused on manipulating the rules of all things, so it can come into contact with the realm of time and space earlier than magic.

After the candlestick returned to the real world, Curt looked into the corner of the room. He disappeared from his place in an instant, appearing where he had been looking. It's another level three psychic ability, Space Slide. Spatial sliding allows the Manifester to instantly reach anywhere in line of sight without the dizziness and nausea of teleportation.

Curt walked back to the center of the room, reached into his pocket and took out the Psion he had received from the Psionic Monster. He poured pure spiritual power into it, causing his spiritual countenance to hum. Within seconds, the spirit pattern engraved on the surface of the gem lit up. Eventually, it accepted Curt's will and began to transform into a servant of Curt alone.

The Servant is the companion of the Psyker and has a spiritual connection to his master. They have a good sense of perception and are able to warn their owners of danger before it happens. In addition to this, the spirit servant can also grow eight thin astral legs, which move like a living thing. When necessary, psionics can even manifest psychic abilities through Servants, inflicting unexpected blows on their enemies

After injecting enough mental power into the spirit count, Curt established a psychic connection with the spirit servant. Next, he will engrave the fragment of his personality into the spirit countenance, so that it can be transformed into the intelligence of the spirit servant. So far, things are going very well. But in the next second, Curt's contact with the Servant was broken.

Curt snapped open his eyes, not realizing what had gone wrong. Then he was shocked to see that the spirit had left the ground and was floating above Ani's palm.

Ani, who appeared at some point, spread her palms and let the spirit hover in front of her. She looked at Curt deeply, then smiled and said:

"I want to communicate with you more conveniently, and follow you everywhere by the way, you won't object, right?"

"Of course not. ”

Curt scratched his head and replied with some embarrassment. Ani then disintegrated into countless particles of light, converging towards the slowly rotating Spiritual Countenance. When all the particles of light penetrated into the interior of the Vision, a psychic message was transmitted to Curt.

'Please bookmark me, I love the feeling of warmth. ’

'Yes, my lady. ’

Curt replied telepathically, with a rare hint of frivolity. He reached out to catch the spirit that floated in front of him, knowing that no matter where he went from now on, he would be accompanied by Ani. This gave Curt a strange feeling - he experienced an unspeakable pleasure and a little shyness.

Over the next few days, Curt drove the apprentices to the library on the fourth floor. He selects introductory books for the apprentices to read, and occasionally gives some pointers. Compared to Abys, who treats his apprentice as a consumable, Curt can be regarded as a rather responsible teacher. The apprentices selected by the Thieves' Guild are also smart, at least they are educated and able to read and study independently.

While the Black Tower and the Thousand Law City were operating in an orderly manner, there was a riot on the snowfield more than ten miles away. Two ogres more than three meters tall kept waving wooden sticks, chasing the panicked goblins. The corpses of several goblins already hung from their belts, all of which had been smashed to a bloody pulp before they died.

A bolt of lightning flew past the tips of the noses of the two ogres, causing them to stop. Dozens of meters away, an ogre, who was relatively short and thin, but with a staff on his staff, was holding his right hand flat. One by one, it flexed its fingers containing magical power, and roared in a thunderous voice:

"I've told you, don't make trouble!"

"But we're hungry, Hinton. ”

One of the two ogres slammed its stomach and roared in a muffled giant voice. It tore the corpse of a goblin from its belt and tore it, chewing the bones as it squeaked as it continued:

"These green skins are not delicious, I want to eat people. Hinton, you promised me to eat all-you-can-eat babies, how long will I have to wait?"

"yes. ”

The other ogre chimed in, snatching a goblin's leg from his partner's hand and shoving it into his mouth. Hinton looked coldly at the two ogres munching and swallowing, and said in a fierce tone:

"Tonight, the army of the mountain barbarians will come and join us, a whole three tribes! We will attack the city of Qianfa tomorrow morning, so hold me back until then! Otherwise, I will tear you alive and feed the orcs! I need warriors, not bastards who can only make trouble!"

"Okay. ”

The two ogres looked frightened and nodded sheepishly. Hinton's staff was covered with skeletons, and one of them glowed red in his pupils. If you don't know how to do it, maybe some terrible magic will fly over. Anyway, the mountain barbarians' chewing is not bad, so it's a big deal to catch one quietly at night...... The ogres thought so.

Meanwhile, Curt was standing on a platform outside the Mage's Tower, looking down at his feet. A large crowd of displaced people looked up to him and begged for refuge. Last night's battle left a lot of clues, and made the outcasts realize that the monster army was close at hand. And they also know that escaping into the snow in the depths of winter is tantamount to suicide, so they can only ask for mercy from the powerful.

"Shut up, shit!"

After a long silence, Curt suddenly shouted. His voice was magically enhanced and could reach everyone's ears clearly. As the homeless people shut their mouths in panic, Curt opened his hands hard. He deliberately let the robes rattle in the wind, then looked down at his feet and said:

"Don't pretend to be innocent, you scum! You have committed a heinous crime in your hometown, so you have no choice but to flee here! Even if the Thousand Law City refuses to accept you, you have nowhere to go but to stay in the ice and snow and suffer! Now the time is coming to end your life, but you ask me for mercy?"

The homeless people looked at each other, not knowing how to react for a while. Every word Curt says is true, and they are indeed sinners from everywhere.

"However, I am willing to give you a chance to live. ”

After a few seconds, Curt spoke again. He softened his breath and said in a stern tone:

"Go home and bring your farming tools. I need as many trenches as I can, and you need to dig them out for me as quickly as possible. Not the narrow ditch that even a goblin could jump over, but a trench deep and wide enough to bury an entire horse. When you're done digging the first one, I'll allow babies and old people into the tower. After digging the second one, I will accept children under the age of fourteen. During the battle, women can enter the tower, and men have to take up arms to fight. You don't have a choice, that's all I have to say. ”

Curt simply turned around and left the platform. Through the observation hole, he saw that the homeless people at the bottom of the tower were arguing. Eventually, some of them went home to fetch farming tools, while the rest traveled to other mage towers to find a way out. Curt nodded slightly, and things were exactly going according to his expectations.

The people who went to fetch the farm tools were smart people who knew how to survive in the Thousand Laws City. Curt guessed that the other outcasts would encounter punitive spells, or simply be hacked to death by the mercenaries. - At this time, the tower mages outside the city walls will go to the slums and hire some warriors from the mercenary guild. Those fighters are good cannon fodder and meat shields, but completely untrustworthy.

Especially a young mage like Curt can easily be blackmailed or even betrayed by mercenaries. He didn't want to take risks, and he didn't want to give potential enemies a chance to infiltrate. Curt had another arrangement, which he believed would be more reliable than a ignorant hire.

Ten minutes later, displaced people began digging under the tower in the hard frozen ground. It didn't take long for more homeless people to arrive.

As Curt had expected, the late homeless man touched a nail and was severely lectured by the owners of the other mage towers. They waved their farm tools in frustration, and they had completely resigned themselves to their fate.

In the afternoon, the first circular trench around the Black Tower was completed. Curt was so pleased with this that he expected the second trench to take shape before sunset.

As agreed, Curt arranged for the baby, the mother, and the elderly to go to the basement. During this time, he ordered the Golem to crush a man who tried to rush in and crush his feet and throw him into the snow. So the man who howls in pain becomes a good example, and makes the other homeless people understand that breaking the rules will only kill themselves.

When the interests of many people are at stake, opening up to a few people will only destroy the order. ’

Curtton, which Guò placed in the inner pocket of his chest, explained his motives to Ani. He thought for a moment and added:

Once the rules have been established in public, no exceptions must be made. Otherwise, the toughest laws will become a dead letter. ’

Except for those who have no strength, they can only choose to obey. ’

Ani telepathically curt, presenting her own opinion. So Curt took a long breath, looked into the distance, and replied:

'yes, so I've been working on it...... Not only for the sake of the more unreasonable the rules, but I want to be the one who makes the rules. ’

After this spiritual message was sent, Ani didn't speak again for a long time. Her thoughts affected her countenance, warming Curt's chest.
