Chapter 239: An Unexpected Enemy
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and everything is silent.
Above the abandoned castle of Haydonnice, a figure wandered back and forth around the towering spire, but fortunately did not notice the sight, otherwise it would have caused quite a commotion. This man was Samin, and in the dead of night he secretly ran out to practice flying.
Since his first flight, Sawan has become more devoted to his cultivation, and few people can see him during the day, even if he is only at dinner, and other than that, it is difficult to meet Sawan. In order not to attract too much attention, Samhain usually went to the deserted seashore during the day to meditate, and practiced flying near the castle at night.
Now Sawan can fly around with ease, but he has not yet tried to fly long distances, and the farthest one has only flown a dozen miles at a time. At the beginning, Savin felt that flying was very tiring, this fatigue was not physical fatigue but mental, he knew that this was because his spiritual cultivation was not enough, this required the accumulation of time and months, not something that could be done in a hurry.
In the past, Sawan often fantasized that he could also fly, and he could reach it with a flap of his wings for thousands of miles, but now he had understood that flying was very mentally draining, and that kind of long-distance flight could only be done when his mental power was strong enough. Therefore, every night when he practiced flying, he did not dare to fly too far, lest he lose his spirit and have to walk back.
Sawan had been in Haydonnis for more than a month, during which time the port and the new town had already started, while business was going on with Tetur. Perhaps the war between Logaris and the King was brought to Sam's attention, and with the help of the Magic Guild, Logaris began to win and drove the King's army back to Count Leblas's territory, and the two sides are currently in a stalemate.
Sawan knew that it wasn't that Logaris wasn't trying hard enough, but that he was helpless in the face of a fortified castle. Many castles on the mainland are built very tall and strong, and it is extremely difficult to conquer these fortifications with a limited number of troops, and it is difficult to capture them quickly unless there are special strategies and means.
However, Sawan was not in a hurry, it was only a matter of time before the king's power was eliminated, and now that the overall situation was decided, the king and the nobles were just dying. Sometimes Sawan even wished that the war would not end so soon, because once it was over, he would have no reason to take power alone, and at least return some of it to the Duke of Amberton, who would also officially ascend to the throne.
Savan wanted to take advantage of the war to grow his strength quickly, and at that time he would not have to worry about returning the whole of Hironis to the duke, because the small country simply could not accommodate him. It's a matter of time before you leave Hieronis, but you have to be strong enough before you leave.
With the intensification of training, flying is no longer as expensive as it was at the beginning, and Sawan can already levitate in the air for a long time, and the flight distance has also expanded to dozens of miles. In addition, Sawan also tried to use his spiritual power in other places, since spiritual power can make people fly, then spiritual power must also be able to play more roles.
Ever since learning to fly, Sawan has learned about the power of the psychic force, a power that transcends nature and is even more powerful than ordinary magic, so it's no wonder that the Magic Guild is actively researching it. After continuous common sense, Sawan gradually mastered the method of using mental power to move objects, but for the time being, he could only move dozens of catties of objects, and he could not do anything about heavier objects.
Moving objects with psychic power looks similar to a mage's telekinesis, but the two are actually fundamentally different. The Mage's Telekinesis is actually a type of spatial magic that achieves the effect of Telekinesis by changing the position of objects in space. The most fundamental difference between the two is to move an object with real force.
In the night, Sawan was hovering above the spire of the castle, holding an axe in his hand, and while he was taking advantage of this, Sawan began to gather his spiritual strength. When Sawin felt that his mental strength was enough, he suddenly threw the axe in his hand forward, and the axe spun rapidly and flew forward.
At this time, Sawan immediately used his mental power to firmly lock the axe that flew out, and then suddenly let go of the accumulated spiritual power, trying to pull the flying axe back with his mind. Sawan had done this experiment hundreds of times, but none of them had succeeded, but he could feel that he was not far from success.
Isavin's strength, if he threw the axe with all his might, was enough to throw it several miles away, and his mental power could not reach that far. Therefore, the difficulty of this experiment is that he has to use his mind to firmly lock the father and son before the axe flies out of the range that his mental power can reach, and then use his mental power to forcibly pull the axe back.
It seems like a simple exercise, but in fact it has extremely high requirements for mental power, it requires Sawan to be able to quickly lock on to the target in a very short time, and at the same time to burst out of strong mental power to do so, to pull back a fast-moving object, many times more difficult than to move a stationary object.
Sawin felt that he was in good shape tonight, and of course it was the result of many exercises, and at the beginning he couldn't even lock the axe, let alone pull it back, and now it was not difficult for him to lock on to the target. Sawan used his mental power to firmly lock on to the axe that was quickly moving away, and then suddenly let go of the mental power that had been accumulated for a long time, and pulled the axe back with all his might.
I saw that the axe that was spinning rapidly gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in the air, and at this time, an invisible force suddenly pulled the axe back violently, and its speed was no less than the speed of flying out. Sawan stretched out his hand, and the axe that had been thrown out magically flew back into his hand, and was held tightly by Savin.
"Success!" Samin excitedly snapped several somersaults in the air, letting out a howl of excitement.
In the middle of the night, several patrolling soldiers suddenly heard a howl like a ghost crying wolf, and their hearts were furious, and one of them asked, "Do you hear it, it seems that a ghost is crying?"
The other people nodded with pale faces, and suddenly felt a chill on their bodies......
Substantial progress in his training put Sawan in a good mood, and it was a rare day that he didn't run to the beach to practice meditation and wander the streets with his hands behind his back. Naturally, the streets of Haydonnis are not comparable to those of the big cities, not only are the roads dusty, but most of the houses on both sides of the streets are very simple.
However, the streets of Haydon Nice have a lively and free atmosphere, because there is no tax for the time being, so the vendors are working very hard, and making more and less is their own, and who can not work hard at this time.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Sawin was genuinely happy, for before he bought the land, it was bleak and now full of vitality, all because of the policies he had enacted. The greatest achievement of a ruler is to make a good life for the masses, and no ruler wants the place he rules to be deserted.
While Sawin watched with great interest as the vendors and customers bargained, the streets suddenly became chaotic, and many people sprang up the streets desperately, knocking many roadside stalls to the ground. Sawin was shocked, and hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see countless people running away, and at the same time let out a burst of exclamations: "Run! If you don't run, you'll die!"
Savan said secretly: "Could it be that there are people on the streets? Where did the patrolling soldiers go?"
As Savin thought of this, he saw several soldiers fleeing desperately in the crowd, apparently frightened. This scene surprised Samhain, even the soldiers were running away, what was it? However, there were so many people on the street that Samin couldn't see what was happening in the distance.
He looked left and right, and saw that everyone was running in all directions, and no one would notice him at all. Sawan leaped lightly, and with a single flight spell, he jumped onto the roof. I saw dust flying in the distance, and houses were flying around with something knocking them around, such a huge force must not be an ordinary thing.
