401 Inspiration
"Please forgive me for my curiosity...... You can find me, is it really like the legend of Serre...... Omniscient?"
"Legend has it that putting this adjective for an old man and an old woman on a girl like me is a lack of etiquette, Mr. Sean. β
β...... I don't think an old woman who has concealed her true face with illusion can be called a maiden, as far as I know, Lord Yefaan is at least sixty years old this year. β
Sitting in this quiet room, Penny's expression was not restrained, but he was a little nervous in his heart, it was really rare to find him at this time and call out his name.
"Two hundred and sixty years old, to be exact. The girl in glasses corrected with a subtle smile.
Penny's eyelids suddenly twitched twice in surprise: "As far as I know, uh...... Lord Sazastan was no more than three hundred years old, and this, the chief mages of his time, seemed to ......"
"Are they all dead, right?" Ye Fa'an smiled again: "Death does not necessarily mean that you can't come back to life, dear children, especially in this world." β
Penny's face remained unchanged, but his heart was flooded, because the information that the chief of glasses threw out as soon as they met was too amazing, because Searle's high-level changes frequently, especially when he was under the control of Sazastan, it was well known that the chief wizard of the prophecy department was quite young, and he had not yet obtained the core power of the source sea.
Now, Yefaan tells him that she is an old goblin of the same era as Sazastan, which obviously does not match the perception of the Serles, and throws out such an astonishing 'truth' as soon as they meet, Penny can't even tell if the chief is playing tricks on him.
And if it's true, it's too scary, Penny doesn't know what danger is hidden behind this news, and he can't be sure how many people know about this fact, and he can't guess what trouble he will cause when he learns this news.
In the next moment, Ye Fa'an's pleasant laughter broke the silence: "Ha, look at you little guy, it's so boring to scare you and make you so nervous, alas...... Nowadays, young people are really getting less and less courageous, how can the hero who saves the world be a coward?"
"Ahem. Penny blushed a little, and Ye Fa'an's last two words almost made him quite shy: "With all due respect, my lord, wizards are all egoists. β
The implication is that the concept of a savior hero has nothing to do with a real wizard, and he doesn't understand what Ye Fa'an wants to say.
Coming to the door so suddenly, and throwing out several inexplicable messages in a row that made him dizzy, although the chief was not instructively malicious, it still made him feel confused.
And the dominance of the dialogue is still in the hands of the red-robed chief, which shows that this Lord Ye Fa'an knows how to control the rhythm, and it still makes Penny feel a little passive.
It's just that Penny vaguely understands that the chief must have smelled something strange in the recent turmoil in Searle, and may even know more than Penny...... You must know that in the rumors within the Red Robe Mage Society, the chief mage of the prophecy department knows everything - of course, the scope that needs to be limited, and the range that most people recognize, is probably within most areas of the Desperate Eastern Regions.
Ilminster and the seven women probably wouldn't think so. Ye Fa'an glanced at Penny with a smile: "If you let them know what is happening in Searle right now, they will definitely find a way to find a savior to come out and save the world, and this person is probably you." β
Penny was even more confused, and the chief of the prophecy department sighed and shook his head: "It seems that you still don't know what Sazastan is up to. β
The vague premonition in his heart fell into place, and Penny secretly put down the biggest suspense, now he always knew what the chief mage wanted to say after the cloud mountain fog shroud: "You, do you know that Lord Sazastan is still alive?"
He tentatively asked, wondering what the Chief knew about whether he would succeed in taking out the old rivals he had been fighting to the death.
"When did he die? Oh, he's died a few times before, and I forget. Seemingly knowing what Penny wanted to ask, Ye Fa'an shook his head: "Oh, you don't need to talk nonsense, I took the form of Liggie to lure you over, of course, to tell you something that interests you, as for what kind of things you will do after you know this, it has nothing to do with me." β
Penny suddenly realized that it was actually her who attracted him to Likita, but he was immediately shocked in his heart, because the illusion of this chief lord was not seen through by him, which made him feel amazed...... It's really rare.
In this way, it can be seen that the ability of this chief of the prophecy department is far beyond Penny's expectations.
Wasn't she just joking?
But for now, he was more interested in what Ye Fa'an wanted to say.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and since Murmaster, Penny has been suspicious and wary of Sazastan, wanting to get rid of him and go it alone, and Penny is a little jealous.
Because he didn't know much about Sazastan, he didn't know what the elusive Searle was thinking, and if his actions angered Sazastan, Penny didn't know what kind of revenge he would encounter.
He could offend Samast with impunity, partly because of the circumstances of the time, secondly, because many powerful forces including the Church of the Goddess were on his side, and thirdly, Samast himself was a little unclear in his mind and acted insanelyβsuch a person, despite his great strength, also had quite obvious weaknesses.
What's more, there is no room for reversal of what has already been done.
However, in the face of Sazastan, Penny could not convince himself to resist because the two sides were on the same front, and it was difficult for him to give up the big opportunity to take out Neveron Lauzorel. The second is that for Penny, the danger factor of going against Sazastan is much higher than that of going against Samaster, which is quite obvious - Sazastan obviously knows everything about Penny, and is an old and cunning conspirator.
"Look at this. While Penny was about to listen to the truth and decide the way forward, Ye Faan threw a scroll.
Pennila glanced at it a few times, and her eyebrows gradually frowned: "Legendary spells?"
"Yes, it's a legendary spell. Ye Fa'an smiled and bowed: "You'd better see it clearly, this spell is very important to you, no one will disturb you here, you have a lot of time." β
Penny didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly read it carefully.
Although Penny couldn't fully understand some of the legendary spells that were either out of the shackles of the source sea or located in the center of the source sea, with his current ability, it was not a problem to guess ** without leaving ten, and after reading half of it, he understood the effect of this spell: "Oh...... It's a mind-shaping spell...... It's a bit like the mental demon seed in the psionic system, but the effect is weaker, and there are more subtle psychic control effects...... This ......"
"You still know psionic powers?" Ye Fa'an was a little surprised: "Oh, it's good for mages to know more about other subjects. β
"I think if psionics want to make such a spell effect, the power consumed may be much lower. Penny replied casually.
"Of course, after all, they are experts in psychic powers, but when it comes to the laws of the world and the legendary powers of the higher levels, the limits of psionic energy are generally inferior to those of the arcane. Ye Fa'an shook his head: "Sealing the world in one's own cognition is too narrow, there are not many minds, it can accommodate or even surpass this multiverse, once it is misinterpreted, it can only go on the wrong and distorted path." β
Penny paused for a moment, the quasi-legendary mage trapped in the boundary of the source sea would often be inspired by some coincidences, and it was clear that Ye Fa'an's words had such an effect:
As a quasi-legendary spellcaster, what he pursues is the power that transcends the boundaries of the source sea, but it is obvious that it is very difficult for most wizards to use their own cognition to transcend the boundaries of the multiverse, especially for a wizard, the methodology is somewhat flawed, and even the things that cannot be explained by the known existences have to explain the 'things that do not exist', which is even more maddening.
Of course, if a cat and a dog can do it, then the legendary mage is too worthless.
And Ye Fa'an's seemingly casual sentence inspired Penny: how can a set of theories that have been riddled with holes explain or even surpass this multiverse?
If the methodology of non-legendary wizards can transcend the boundaries of the Source Sea, then there is really no need for those quasi-legendary wizards to think about it.
Obviously, with the existing methodology, it is impossible to transcend, so the only way to gain power beyond the boundaries of the source sea is to destroy an old world and create a new one.
In this new world, wizards can recognize their wisdom and cognition to gallop and create legendary powers that are not completely shackled by the multiverse.
Penny was in good spirits, he had never known the path of a legendary mage so clearly.
But he also knows very well what kind of danger it will expose him to and what price it will pay.
The complete collapse and reorganization of the methodology, or even the reinvention of the system after the collapse, is simply a move to challenge the limits of any mage, and it is a great test of a wizard's courage and courage - once it fails, the wizard will have nothing, and the strange perception makes it impossible to restore the old methodology, and once the new methodology is not established, then the cost of starting over may be more than any wizard can bear.
And Penny is not sure whether his accumulation has reached the point where he is enough to establish a new methodology, the corresponding preparations are not yet mature, and he is even more entangled in everything at the moment, obviously it is not the time to start this work, you know, for such a project, for the mage, the construction period can be uncertain- As short as a momentary epiphany, a day or two of thinking, as long as years of calculations, and decades of arcane research on a huge scale, Penny knew that he was inadvertently inspired by Ye Fa'an, but he was not sure if he had the ability to complete the subsequent procedures through a few days of thinking, and once such a nightmare thought lasted for tens or hundreds of days, then everything that happened in Serre would probably have nothing to do with Penny.
Especially now that I heard Ye Fa'an's statement, it seems that there is still something important about the destruction of the world to happen - I don't know if it's true, even if it's true, the end of the world is not new news for Fei Lun - similar big events have appeared many times in history, and there are a few times when they almost succeeded, although Penny dared to pack a ticket to be sure that this time there was a good chance that he would repeat the old-fashioned savior plot, but once there was an accident, Fei Lun really finished playing, and his research would be meaningless.
So he restrained his ** on the magic power and continued to look at the scroll in front of him.
Ye Fa'an observed the child in front of her with great interest, although with the thinking speed of a quasi-legendary arcanist, the turbulent thoughts in Penny's heart just now were only for a moment, but she could still see that this child was not concentrating on watching the scroll and fell into thought, but was distracted to think about other things, and after the thinking was completed, Ye Fa'an keenly noticed that the little guy in front of him felt a little different from the moment later, as if a turbid glass object had been washed with water, revealing a transparent luster.
The change was so obvious to the observant head of the prophecy department that it quickly intrigued her.
Sure enough, it's the little guy who has made countless monsters dizzy over the years, and it's really a little unusual.
She secretly observed the wizard, and Penny knew the mystery of the spell more than halfway through it: "It's a seed...... Sowing a seed in the consciousness of the recipient through the medium of power, as long as the recipient agrees with the caster's philosophy slightly, then the seed will take root and sprout, grow with the power of the recipient, no, become part of the power of the recipient, and the recipient will also develop unconditional dependence and obedience to the caster...... This is equivalent to direct control of the methodology, and the recipient himself will not be aware of it, let alone actively develop the consciousness of getting rid of it...... This is indeed quite a clever mind control spell, so stealthy and natural, it's not an exaggeration to use the legendary spell component, it's ......"
Penny had read the basics and descriptions of the spell's composition, and when he reached the casting process, his face instantly stiffened, and his voice stopped abruptly......
In the part of the spellcasting medium, he saw something, something he was quite familiar with, something that any red-robed mage would have.
It wasn't until a long time that Penny regained his consciousness of 'seeing', and when he saw this thing, the unprecedented fear gave him an illusion of an out-of-body soul, so much so that when he looked at Ye Fa'an's face in front of him, he saw several double images, as if the whole world was no longer real in his eyes.
"Now you understand?" Ye Fa'an still smiled, a serious smile, flowing through Penny's heart like flowing water, making his stiffness slightly relieved, able to control this body that didn't seem to belong to him and nod slowly, and twitch the corners of his mouth to make a smile that he wanted to smile.
The kindness of Lord Toyefaan, Penny did understand.
