Chapter 42 The Banquet(1/2)
Chapter 42 Night Banquet
Well, there was something wrong with yesterday’s chapter, so I revised it.
This chapter may have to be revised later, just in a while...
——
"Psions develop a broader and more powerful spiritual power through continuous study of their own psychic consciousness. They meditate on their own memories and the nature of memory, argue with fragments of their own personalities, and delve into every dark corner of their hearts."
"Know thyself" is not only a motto for psychics, it is the path to great power..."
Beautiful characters came into view one by one, and Edward felt that his heart seemed to be beating faster and faster.
There is no doubt that this is a classic book about psychic powers...and it is obviously a treasure that exceeds Edward's expectations.
For a new psychic, the lack of a suitable guide has always been an important reason for his slow progress in this area of power - although the spiritual crystal servant can occasionally give him some pointers, due to the memory fragments
Due to randomness, you can't expect this constructed creature to fulfill the responsibilities of a teacher.
The author of this book is obviously not comparable to the Psychic Crystal Servant who shows off his half-baked memory. Many aspects in the records are far more detailed than what the Psychic Crystal Servant had told Edward before.
, and it’s much more practical...
For example, after turning a few pages, Edward found a line of familiar characters.
'Psychic Charm Technique: As long as you use a little psychic energy, you can make a person who doesn't have any good impressions of him become his friend. This so-called friend relationship is not particularly strong, but it can be used in certain situations -
-For example, buying and selling, signing contracts, and other places that require communication can save a lot of time and energy. It can even be used on some people who are originally enemies to cause confusion in them.'
'Unlike the magic of charming humans, charming humanoids, and charming monsters... which are divided into several spells in a step-by-step manner, the ability to charm in psychic energy is a simple one. If you want to increase your power, you only need to pay extra psychic points.
By paying an extra two points, you can affect animals, fey, giants, magical beasts, or humanoid monsters. And by paying an extra four power points, you can kill all creatures; even dragons, elements, or alien creatures. Abnormalities, all of them.
If so. If you are willing to spend more power points, you can increase the duration to several days.'
"This technique is called burning psionic energy. However, it is of little significance to a rookie like you. Even if you are now, the amount of psionic energy you have can only affect animals and magical beasts. Because of this
The method will be limited by your power level,"
The psicrystal servant groaned dissatisfiedly in Edward's consciousness, seeming to be trying to prove his worth, but the psychic was obviously not in the mood to pay attention to it now——
After a few chapters of introduction-like introduction, the characters on the parchment officially related to that mysterious world. His eyes jumped on the lines of characters. Edward studied the power that made his heart restless... even if it was just reading like this.
, already made him feel that there was something in his mind that was constantly stirring, expanding, forming entities, condensing and expanding.
Time passed by slowly with the sound of turning the pages of a book.
This passage was so silent that it was difficult to experience, but in the end, it came to an end with the rustle of sheepskin on the twentieth sound.
Edward's brows twitched... The smooth cursive text in his field of vision was suddenly interrupted in the middle of a psychic description - it seemed that the author had stopped writing due to some kind of interference, and the simple parchment binding,
The last page had been turned between his fingers.
"No more?" Edward whispered to himself, as if he couldn't believe it, and twirled the thick sheepskin. Unfortunately, the very soft leather was not separated by this, only the gray with some friction marks on the back.
Proves a certain degree of reality.
But Edward subconsciously turned the pages again, then scanned the surrounding bookshelves, took down a few pages of parchment next to them, and looked at them... In the end, he even wandered around all the bookshelves, seemingly unwilling to do so.
accepted this reality,
He sighed. He raised his head and seemed a little lost for a moment...
Then he found that he seemed to have been sighing a lot recently - and it seemed foreseeable that there would be more and more time.
When he was a child... When he was a child for the first time, he once believed a sentence, a specious lie that the teachers had intentionally or unintentionally tampered with the words of the sages, and many students fell into it. Later, he
After knowing the true meaning of this sentence, I can't help but have some doubts: "If you follow the limitless, you will risk yourself... But isn't taking one step just one step? Even if you can never finish learning, you should only get closer gradually.
So what’s there to worry about?”
But later, he discovered that the words of the sage were indeed true, and it was so true that it made people extremely confused, because as he knew more and more things, he found that he did not know more and more things...
…
In this case, can I still achieve the goal that is vaguely visible in my heart but has not yet touched the edge?
"There are too many mediocre people in this world who complain about their efforts but not getting anything in return. In fact, what they pay is pitiful at all, especially when it comes to gaining strength. Only those who dare to challenge various seemingly unsurpassable limits time and time again can achieve success.
It’s considered a sacrifice...but it’s just an introduction.”
The Spiritual Crystal Servant sent a reminder in the inner language - it became slightly lower, but became more and more shocking: "If you want to be a strong person, don't complain when you don't get a point even though you have paid ten points.
Believe in the achievements you will achieve and give yourself an unwavering goal, so that you can keep your mind firm; if you don't believe that you can make it to the end, how can you overcome those difficult and dangerous peaks on the road? So, Shu Han's
When the emperor was a child, he would point to the big tree at the door and say, "This is my yellow umbrella canopy." A Khan king on the grassland would say to his companions when he was a child, "One day, the whole world will be our pasture."
". The Sphinx-like golden-haired emperor always talks about "My journey is to the stars and the sea". It can be seen that the more outstanding and strong the stronger, the more confident he must be to defeat everything,"
"Hey, hey, these aren't things from this world, are they... You guys, you're taking a peek at my memory while I'm not paying attention?"
"Hmph, do you know that your current mental state is quite dangerous - when exploring your own spirit, always remember to be cautious and always need to reflect on yourself, so that you will not be disturbed by the turbulence of the spirit and your mind will be disturbed.
Everything around you is under your control... Only geniuses can control the power of the spirit. Those who come into contact with it must be cautious, cautious and reverent, and never take chances."
A simple conversation with the Psychic Crystal Servant seemed to soothe his trembling mind a little. Edward shook his head and found that he seemed to have really sobered up a lot.
He flipped through the thin book in his hand again to make sure that he had completely read everything on it. He sighed and placed it in an inconspicuous corner of the bookshelf, covering it with some old leather volumes.
Okay. Then I returned to the bookshelf in front and began to slowly sort out the messy sheepskins and books, sorting them out bit by bit.
But there were other thoughts running through his mind.
Although the book was just an unfinished work, for Edward, its significance was more than guidance - originally, the young psychic once conservatively believed that his power belonged to the heretics among humans, and even
It is possible that he will not be seen in the sun. Therefore, he always has a cautious attitude towards the use of psychic powers. At the same time, the description of psychic powers should not officially appear in a certain document.
Among them, they should only be the results of research on certain monsters.
But now it seems that the situation is obviously not as bad as he imagined.
The book in hand does not appear to be very old when it was written. In other words, the research on this faction should be relatively recent, and the researcher himself may be a mage in the academy... In that case
, your own path should become much smoother.
Well, maybe it’s very possible that it’s this mentor Albert?
As he was thinking about things in his mind, his hands became a little unsteady, so in a moment of confusion, a booklet fell apart, the sheepskin floated, and turned into a piece of dander and dust. The strong smell made Edward choke for a while.
Cough. 'Meow...' He cursed in a low voice and reached out to pick it up. However, he noticed with some surprise that his fingers were trembling because of it.
Then, as if awakened by this, ringing in the ears and swelling and pain in the temples also followed, and then a series of subtle gurgling sounds in the abdomen...
Edward reached out and rubbed his forehead, and then realized that this was actually quite normal - the magic hourglass on the desk showed that it was already evening. In other words, he went from dueling, meeting his mentor, and then cleaning up in the blink of an eye.
It has been another ** hours of continuous work, but there is no proper way to pay homage to the five internal organs temple.
With a self-deprecating laugh, Edward reached for the water bag and dried meat, but the next moment he shook his head, turned around and walked out of the room.
Because he suddenly remembered that he had been eating dried meat and water for two or three days without knowing it - although he had become accustomed to this kind of diet when hunting in the forest, it did not mean that he liked it. And in
After being stuck in this gloomy tower for so long, he really needed to breathe some fresh air. Walk around and jump in the sunshine.
Unfortunately, when he walked out of the door of the magic tower and took a breath of cool air, he noticed that the red clouds all over the sky had begun to gradually fade into a deep blue, with three or two twinkling stars declaring the night.
come.
"Damn it." Edward cursed in a low voice.
Although it is one of the most prosperous cities on the mainland, the nights in Romandy are not that interesting... Except for hotels, shops will close in the evening, let alone those magic items shops, and this
In an era when technology was not yet developed, entertainment methods were relatively simple. They were nothing more than eating, drinking, singing, dancing, and having fun. But those were games that required gold coins. For Edward now, they were a bit luxurious and meaningless.
Going to find Baroque? Ye Yu? Well, I'm afraid it's just him drinking and bragging, with nothing new, and that guy may not stay quietly in the hotel, maybe he's already looking for fun, or working as a mercenary to make money.
What about that girl Lisa? Forget it, why are you making trouble with the little girl at this time? What's more, that girl is mysterious and mysterious, and if she comes into contact with too much, she might get into more trouble...
"Hey, isn't that Sir Edward?"
After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, because he knew too few people in this city, so he hesitated like this. He passed through the teleportation circle on the gate, but before the dizziness passed, he suddenly heard a sound.
Amidst the noise, someone seemed to call his name.
He raised his gaze slightly, and then he noticed a group of familiar or unfamiliar faces not far away - a dozen little guys of the same period as him were gathering near a few carriages on the street, seeming to be preparing for some group action, and
It was the righteous young man who spoke to him - he was the only one among the apprentices who seemed to have a good relationship with him.
So after hesitating for a moment, Edward walked over.
"It's not easy to see you. You don't seem to have attended the class at all?" Wei Wei nodded, the young noble's mood always seemed to be so enthusiastic, "Oh, by the way, I haven't congratulated you before.
How about the victory in the gladiatorial battle? The instructor didn't give you any trouble, right?"
But Edward's eyes flickered for a moment, and he just twitched the corner of his mouth... Not far away, Miguel was also standing under the carriage. Obviously, he didn't like to hear the topic of gladiatorial combat - although the contract seemed a bit...
It was meant as a joke, but since he had fulfilled it, he should be regarded as Edward's servant. No matter how many obligations he could fulfill, it always sounded harsh.
But the young nobleman didn't seem to care - or in other words, he thought it was nothing important? "We are about to go to the dinner party. If you don't mind, how about coming with us?" he invited warmly.
Edward was silent all the way because he needed to listen. In the same carriage, several little kids were discussing excitedly about how the fruits of a certain famous lady's daughter were so intoxicating and how a certain countess' butt was.
How famous are the rippling waves, or the young lady in a certain family has reached the age where she can pick them. The older she gets, the less pure she tastes.
"These little guys know a lot..."
