Chapter 177 The unexpected truth(2/4)
Bernard could never believe it in his dreams. He tried his best to expand business routes and make profits at the risk of his life, but in the end he was treated like this by his father.
Just when he was blushing and wanted to refute, Zuo Si suddenly raised his arm and made a calm gesture, then took two steps forward and stared at Isadora's beautiful silver pupils, speaking with a slightly playful expression.
He asked in a tone of voice: "Do you really believe that you can rely on such despicable means to make everyone believe that Sir Elroth is willing to hand over the family and the Chamber of Commerce to a twelve-year-old girl to inherit it? Or do you think you can
In court, can you escape the detection of professional priests and masked mages?"
"But my stupid brother believed it, didn't he? Without you, he would sooner or later become a puppet under my control just like my father."
With a sweet smile on her face, the girl said something that made everyone present feel creepy.
In particular, Bernard, who was almost deceived, couldn't help but shudder, and asked emotionally: "Your Excellency Soth! She...did she become a monster? Or was she controlled by some kind of evil magic?"
Isadora glanced at her eldest brother with contempt and said mockingly: "Don't be stupid, dear brother.
I am your biological sister by blood, and I have watched you brothers and sisters fight overtly and secretly for inheritance rights since I was six years old.
Especially you idiot, who keeps trying to please my father, and your flattering attitude makes me want to vomit.
You poor people have no idea that our father, the majestic Sir Elrot, had actually secretly found a mistress before our mother died.
That is a young and beautiful lady, even much younger than you.
They secretly gave birth to an illegitimate child.
The father loved this child very much, and under the constant instigation of his mistress, he secretly decided to let the illegitimate son inherit the family and the chamber of commerce.
In addition, our mother's private life has always been very chaotic, and she often participated in various obscene and lewd gatherings organized by the Church of Suna, the God of Love and Beauty. As a result, my father was filled with anger and dissatisfaction, and even turned his anger on each of us.
On your body.
But for the sake of face, he has been hiding it very well and never showed it from the beginning to the end.
But secretly, the father never gave up on wanting to take revenge on the mother, so he deliberately created and maintained a fierce but balanced competitive relationship among his children.
Do you think I arranged the murder of those brothers and sisters?
No!
It was just that my father wanted to kill you in my name, and then frame the crime on me, removing the last obstacle for the illegitimate son to ascend to power.
At the same time, he could push all the charges and responsibilities on me afterwards, and at the same time deny the rewards promised to pirates and bandit gangs.
It's a pity that my father doesn't know that I am completely different from you stupid brothers and sisters.
I knew everything from the moment he had this idea, and I have been silently observing his every move over the years.
As a result, when he chose to take action, I also decided to end this ridiculous family ethics drama.
In fact, in my eyes, whether it’s my father, you or your other brothers and sisters, it’s like being completely naked without any clothes on.
Because...
I can see through your thoughts and read your memories."
As the last word blurted out, Isadora suddenly opened her arms, releasing an invisible energy that suddenly exploded in the air.
Instantly!
Everyone's spirits were severely impacted.
Especially as an ordinary person, Bernard felt that his mind went blank, and he completely lost consciousness and thinking ability. He stood upright on the spot as if he was frozen.
Others had similar reactions, as if they suddenly lost their perception of the surrounding environment and the outside world, and everyone became dull and stupid.
Only Zuo Si and Wilmes, who is a red dragon, were not affected in any way.
Because the strange thing in the latter's mind used almost the same power to withstand this large-scale group attack.
"Psychic blast? You are a psychic!" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.
There is no way not to be surprised.
This extremely rare talent is usually impossible to appear in the human race.
Only races like mind flayers, Githyanki, gray dwarves, and other races that are born with some degree of spiritual talent have a certain chance of giving birth to a psion.
The rarity of human psychics far exceeds that of any spellcasting profession, and can even reach hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, with only one or two lucky ones appearing.
He originally thought that the girl controlled the old man on the bed through her powers such as a warlock.
But now it seems that it should be memory tampering in the psychic ability.
"Psychic blast? Psion? What is that? Also, why are you not affected by my ability?" Isadora frowned and asked.
"Haha, it seems you know nothing about your own power, don't you?" Zuo Si asked meaningfully.
He finally figured out that the girl in front of him must have awakened her psychic powers when she was very young.
Then he regards it as a special ability that is unique to him, and secretly uses and exercises it without knowing what his power is.
This special ability to easily read other people's thoughts and memories allowed Isadora to live a childhood that was completely different from that of a normal child.
She has seen too many negative things such as filth, filth, darkness, desire, etc. in the hearts of adults.
In addition, psychics often have symptoms of schizophrenia, and will even debate with fragments of their own personality, constantly exploring every corner of their subconscious.
In the end, it turned into this scary look.
As for the trigger of the outbreak, it was probably that Sir Elrot who was lying in bed planned to push his little daughter out as a scapegoat.
"Do you know my power?"
A silver light flashed in Isadora's pupils for an instant, and then a knife placed on the bedside for peeling fruit flew up out of thin air, with the sharp part at the front pointed directly at Zuo Si's eyes.
Now, with just one thought, she can make the knife fly out at lightning speed and pierce the opponent's eye socket.
But Zuo Si smiled disapprovingly and replied: "The power you use is called psychic power, and you are a psychic warlock with innate talent.
The attack just now is called [Psychic Explosion], which can produce a strong psychic impact that makes the affected person unable to move.
As for controlling this knife, it is the power of mind control.
Your talent is very special and rare.
But it's a pity that you are still too weak to cause any harm to me."
"This is impossible! No one can resist my power!"
As she spoke, Isadora suddenly used the knife to stab Zuo Si's eye socket.
A cold light flashed in the air instantly.
But what she never expected was that the knife stopped just a few centimeters away from Zuo Si's eyes, as if it had stopped, and no matter how hard it was controlled, it could not move forward even a little bit.
Before the girl could react to what was happening, the knife suddenly made a 180-degree turn and stabbed her chest.
"No!!!!!!"
Facing the oncoming sharp blade, Isadora screamed in despair, closed her eyes and waited for pain and death to come.
But after more than ten seconds, the pain never came, and she subconsciously opened her eyes again.
It turned out that the knife had pierced the clothes, and it was less than a millimeter away from the smooth and delicate skin, and even the slightest chill could be felt in the hair.
Without a doubt!
This move alone is enough to prove that the opponent's level of control over psychic powers far exceeds his own.
After realizing this, Isadora raised her head and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "You... do you have the same ability as me?"
"If you are referring to psychic powers, the answer is obviously no. It was not me who was competing with your ability just now, but it."
As he said that, Zuo Si pointed at Wilmes' head next to him.
Just when Isadora turned her attention to Wilmes, the red dragon that maintained its human form suddenly opened its mouth and stretched out four octopus-like tentacles from its throat.
One of them was raised high and waved.
Immediately afterwards, a voice echoed in the girl's mind: "Hello, Isadora, I am a strange object created by the master. Like you, I have the power of psychic energy."
"Master? Creation?"
Isadora keenly grasped two key words.
Although the tentacles in front of her made her a little scared, she also felt a little bit happy about meeting the same kind.
After all, over the years, the girl has always regarded herself as an alien, a monster lurking in the crowd. She can only try to hide herself, and is even unwilling to communicate with others.
This is why in the eyes of outsiders, she always looks shy and timid.
Through the spiritual connection, Qiwu felt the girl's emotions and responded in an emotionless tone: "That's right. The person you just talked to is my creator. If it weren't for the kindness of the master, you would have been a
Dead people."
After saying this, the strange object ignored Isadora, directly retracted its tentacles, and at the same time returned control of the body to Wilmes.
Although this behavior of taking away control at every turn makes Hong Long very angry, she dares not speak out now.
"How is it? Do you understand your abilities now? Psychic power has never been an invincible power. It is just more concealed than arcane and divine spells, and can be completely defenseless against the surroundings.
People influence and control.”
Zuo Si was very interested in explaining the differences between different power systems to the girl in front of him.
