The suppressed anger in Edward's heart seemed to begin to surge again.
"Do you have a way to completely fake her psychic connection? If not, what's the difference between killing her? I don't want to get entangled with that crazy woman, if you can really hack into her network without leaking any loopholes.
I would never mind a killing spree...and what does this have to do with hermaphrodites?"
"This boring hindrance characteristic only occurs between creatures of both sexes. In fact, you just covet her existence as the opposite sex, right? Otherwise, it would not be difficult to control her again with your power. It is just a clone, even if she
Master the weaknesses you don't want to expose, but I don't think your chances of failure are close to zero."
"I'm not a good gambler, so I won't gamble with my most important thing unless absolutely necessary."
"Wrong, or should be said, your psychology simply cannot conform to the universal rules." The voice of the soul-eating monster lich returned to its accustomed hoarse and cold voice: "bisexual creatures have special actions when facing the opposite sex who has developed a mating mentality.
There is nothing wrong with you, but you are completely different
, even if you have a certain degree of feeling in your heart, you just refuse to admit it... What are you worried about? Your ultimate goal is nothing more than to have one more option to reproduce, and with your
Strength, is this result so difficult to achieve?"
"What the hell……"
Edward stared at the indifferent middle-aged man in front of him, and after a long while he shook his head: "You are a monster and a lich, how can you possibly understand human emotions? Mating is the impulse of low-level creatures!
Human beings have countless complex emotions!”
"It's just the paralyzing illusion caused by endorphins and the innate instinct to continue the race. Her attraction to you is not difficult to understand. A woman with considerable intelligence and innovative ability can indeed cultivate excellent offspring."
"Believe it or not, I took your phylactery as a proposal gift?" Edward threatened viciously. Then he narrowed his eyes: "Tell me, do you have any useful methods to control that woman?"
"If you want to disguise her spiritual connection... it's very simple. You can do it with your ability. All you need is a mind demon."
"Mind Demon Seed?"
"Is it complete control? But can it hide the connection between her souls?" Edward's interest was immediately piqued. There does not seem to be such a kind of psychic power in the psychic information on his hand, but psychic power
Although the number of them is not as high as that of magic, they are still rich in variety, especially high-level psychic powers. As an illithid lich, it is not surprising that Katzeyek has some special abilities.
"Yes. Completely and permanently...but it can also be said that it is not a kind of control. It is a more powerful method."
Katzeyek narrowed his eyes, and a needle-like red light danced in his eyes, "This is the exclusive spiritual power of the mind enchantment system. Although it is only an eighth-level power, it has a special effect... You can
Your entire mind is condensed into a fragment of soul, which is imprinted into the subconscious of the person being manifested. As long as the infusion is successful, the seed of this mind will "germinate" in a week, and then it will not be easy for you to control this person.
What?
It’s really a stuff full of psychic powers...
"And what? This additional seed can control the enemy?"
"It can be said that, but assimilation may be more appropriate to describe it, or it is the erosion of the soul." The lich's cold voice was like the north wind whistling: "Your soul fragments will eventually completely cover her self-consciousness.
, just like an illithid and its host, in the end, everything about her will be absorbed by your soul fragments. Memory, emotions, personality, and eventually she will become another you, and that soul connection will naturally be for you.
Used."
"Become another... me?"
Edward repeated it slowly, and then he couldn't help but shuddered: "Is it under my control?"
"As I said, she is still her, but subjectively, she has become you." Katzeyek explained, seeming a little impatient: "She will think like you and have the same desires as you.
For example, if you defeat her, she will be another you."
"I don't care whether I can defeat her or not, it's impossible for me to become a transvestite. Not even another one."
"Then there is no better way..."
The Lich said: "If you want to control a being like her, ordinary methods are ineffective unless you are willing to become a real god, or at least increase your power to that level."
"Then why don't you do it?"
"Are you sure?" The Lich looked at Edward, a red light flashing in his brown eyes.
"Forget it... you can't use this power without my order. Also, have you ever used it before?"
Edward's heart moved and he immediately ordered.
Creating a physical clone that is the same as himself, the power of this psychic power is obviously no less than its abnormality - as long as he is willing to bear part of the loss of soul power, the manifester can create one or even several loyal ones.
Geng Geng's accomplice, and an old monster of Katzeyek's level, even if he splits into a weaker clone, the problems he can cause are terrifying enough!
As for letting Katzeyek control Marilyn's clone, it is even more nonsense for Edward. Regardless of success or not, the old lich's first goal is definitely to get back his phylactery, the mind demon seed.
The clone he conceived is not the Lich himself, so naturally he will not be controlled by the phylactery and the command technique on it. If he wants to plan something...
Secretly relieved in his heart, Edward couldn't help but quietly used some of his peripheral vision to observe the lich, but he didn't see anything strange on the latter's face. Katzeyek's expression remained calm and indifferent.
, it seemed that he had never thought of testing a way to escape from this angle, so after a pause, Edward continued to ask: "Are there any similar methods in psychic energy?"
"No. The higher the level of psychic abilities, the broader they become. Currently, there are not many that can be developed, and even fewer that involve controlling others. Alternatively, you can try to distort reality to create a more suitable effect.
?”
"Distorted reality..."
The psychic chuckled. He was noncommittal - the distortion of reality in psychic energy is a bit similar to the wish-making technique in magic... Of course, it is very different in nature, but in terms of results, they are all the same, except for the extremely specific
In addition to the requirements, a few unclear conditions will create incomprehensible results. If you want to achieve a practical goal, it is a gamble with a very low success rate.
What's more, is it used to deal with a magician?
Ahhh. It’s really troublesome...
It would be great if there was some way to make her lose interest in him directly.
With a sigh, Edward whispered to himself.
In fact, for Marilyn, fighting with each other is not the best way. Edward does not have any special hatred for her. Although this woman has caused him a lot of trouble so far, she has also indirectly or with her own help.
It's hard to describe the relationship between them as simply enemies.
With the help of Katzeyek, Edward's original respect for the master... or a little fear has gradually faded. If he is still a little afraid now, in fact, he is just afraid of trouble -
- Time. It seems that in the recent period, he has been almost crazy and demanding. Everything is so sudden, yet stubborn. It fills all the time he can use.
So if possible, it would be best to stay on the same page with this master... But things in this world are often so ironic. It seems that the simpler the wish, the more difficult it is to realize it.
By the time I finished a few words, the stairs of the mage tower had reached the end. I pushed open the small corner door and saw the hustle and bustle of the evening coming from all directions. Taking a gentle breath of the air with the smell of cooking smoke, Edward walked along the steps of the tower.
The shadow slowly walked through the square on the side, pacing forward aimlessly.
Although magic has given people more power to fight against nature, life in this world still relies on the original rules to a large extent. The dim lights light up the windows bit by bit, and most people have already
They were temporarily freed from the busyness. They talked and laughed, used songs, dances, wine and jokes to relieve the accumulated fatigue, and let the surroundings be immersed in noisy laughter.
Walking aimlessly along the street, the Psion felt a little sad for a moment. Looking at the civilians who were laughing and dancing in the gradually dimming dusk, or sitting and enjoying the cool air, he felt a sense of envy in his heart.
mood.
Or, this means you have to drive and I have time... But when will it be my turn?
"Is there any other way? By the way, it can not only be used to deal with a magician. If it is to deal with Ariel, do you have any way? For example, split two souls?" Shaking his head, he will
These messy thoughts are reunited into thinking.
"If it's just a simple one body with two souls, psychic surgery may be possible, but the control requires extra precision."
Along the way, Katzeyek followed Edward, always keeping a distance of about two feet, but his eyes kept flowing with interest. It seemed that every time he encountered a human action, it would attract some of his attention - if not
Notice that the end point of the gaze is at the forehead or back of every human being's head, as if he is looking through the skull and observing the internal structure. In other words, this thinker is indeed very interested in human beings.
Fortunately, as an undead, he has long lost the ability to taste those delicacies, otherwise, Edward might have to issue another order strictly prohibiting him from setting up a small stove.
"However, if it is the blazing god...are you really sure that there is still part of the human soul in her body?" His eyes wandered, but it could not affect the thinker's thinking, just a change of voice.
, he seemed to ask the question casually, but it made the psychic warlock stop in his tracks.
"If not, can I still find her?" Looking across the streets, he paused at the fleeting red color on the edge of the city wall. The psychic was silent, and then asked.
"There is a saying that the soul is the same as matter. It can only change forms, but it will never be destroyed." The answer came very slowly, but it made Edward relax his brows.
"That's easy then." He smiled.
Simple?
Of course it is not simple. No one knows whether the soul is really immortal like material objects. No one knows what the soul will be transformed into after it disappears. However, for Edward, that is all a matter of the future.
He didn't want to ask. There was no need to ask.
"By the way, is the amount of psychic energy really only that much?" After a moment of pause, he asked.
"Beyond the ninth level of spiritual power, there are still stronger spiritual powers, or, to use a relatively stupid way of describing it that you humans use, the so-called legend."
Katzeyek's voice echoed in his heart, making Edward realize that he seemed to be a little excited involuntarily: "Every being who steps into the door of truth can naturally grasp the rules of truth, and can also apply those rules.
To construct your own way of applying power. The so-called legendary tactics, legendary spells, or legendary psychic abilities."
"With your current abilities and development prospects, it might not be impossible."
"Then, you should also be able to manifest legendary psychic powers, right?"
"There are two legendary psychic powers that he masters, time duplication and destructive singularity."
"Leave it to me."
"There is no way."
In the central area, we will plant another ancient tree, but by that time, your city may not be able to maintain its current appearance.
Elf ancient tree?
Edward was startled.
According to legend, elves have the bloodline that is most compatible with nature. Plants and animals are their friends. Therefore, when building their gathering places, they never use any artificial materials. Instead, they plant them.
- Just as these druids did, they catalyzed trees and vines to build living quarters, villages, towns and cities, and the ancient elven trees were the representatives of such buildings.
In legends, the ancient elven trees are the center of the gathering place of elves. These God-given plants can grow into giant buildings that are no less than castles. In addition to providing rooms for people to survive, they can also produce living tree soldiers to defend them.
Himself. Even they can turn into huge tree men to fight, and they have no limit to their lifespan and growth. It is rumored that there is still an ancient elf tree from the ancient times on the other side of the continent. It is it
The largest city in the elves was constructed.
However, all that is left about this precious plant are legends. Even during the Elf War that ended decades ago, until the last Elf settlement fled their homeland, there was no trace of anyone.
The news about the ancient elven tree found on the battlefield, so most people think that it is just a false rumor, a story made up by the elven druids to deceive humans.
"In fact, even among the elves today, there are not necessarily many ancient trees with pure blood. The real ancient elven trees are giants with divinity and wisdom, and this has been handed down to this day, and this unique tree belongs to them.
The power has grown over time
"No, Lord, it is just an ancient tree. Although it is indeed inherited from the seeds of the ancient elven tree, it has lost the power of the elves' era and can no longer be called an ancient elven tree." The druid smiled:
"And the several ancient trees inherited by our sect are even worse. They can only construct residences under our guidance. However, Lord, the power of ancient trees cannot make accurate use of space like human buildings, so
, the population that can live in this urban area may be much smaller than other urban areas."
Edward nodded, but didn't really care.
Anyway, the current residents of Burgundy are close to 50,000, but the city is much larger. It is not a problem to accommodate 70,000 or 80,000 people, and the relationship between humans and nature in this plane is far less tense than the psion remembers.
, there is no need to consider the red line of cultivated land. The only obstacle to human expansion is the basic problem of insufficient productivity.
Or, things like urban planning are a huge project for other city lords, but for earth elemental creatures, it is just a rolling action - now there is a replica of the core of the floating city to provide energy
, as long as Edward is willing to increase the area of Burgundy dozens of times,
It's nothing more than erecting a circle of walls. If it weren't for the purpose of maintaining the city's appearance and giving residents some pursuits and jobs, he would have already built stone high-rises in the city, or structures without reinforced concrete would be a bit cumbersome.
It is fragile and cannot be raised, but for a small building with seven or eight floors, it takes no effort at all.
Of course, there is another important reason, that is, Edward is no longer in the mood to let the city expand. Edward may be a little interested in ruling others, but it is only a little bit. He can rule five hundred or fifty people.
In his opinion, there is no difference between ten thousand people. They are all just freeloaders anyway.
But it's not the ancient elven tree that makes the psion somewhat disappointed. After all, the legendary ancient elven tree can not only turn into a human, but also has more powerful and even magical powers. For example, some ancient records seem to have
I said that the weapons of the elves were used
Far harder than steel, yet much lighter,
Inside the tree trunk is a dimly lit rotunda. The walls still retain the roots and veins of the ancient tree. Several vines hang from the ceiling, and several crystals embedded in them emit a soft light, making the hall less
