87. Chapter 87 – Psionics

Chapter 87 Psionics

On the carriage traveling to the farm in the eastern suburbs.

Heine drove the wagon while communicating briefly with Catch Sheep in her mind.

He could already use “Psionics” outside of the spell formation.

Barry didn’t teach him anything because he didn’t know how.

After all, he didn’t need to be taught.

The meta-spiritual spells were essentially traces left behind by the person who used psionics in the first place.

So for those who came after, the spell itself was a crutch, a supporting thread.

But Heine used it right off the bat, mistaking it for a necessity.

It actually wasn’t.

Now, once it’s been nudged and the mental dependency taken away, it can be thrown away to cast psionics independently.

The method is the same as “sneaking”, which is also communicating with the spirit.

But this does not mean that he can completely detach himself from the spell.

Because his affinity level with spirits was not enough, his psychic skills were not good enough.

As far as he had experienced so far, different spell formations’ “functions” required different levels of Yuan Ling affinity.

He had currently unlocked three meta-spiritual spell formations, which were:

1. The Lord’s Mansion’s fish pond spell formation.

2. The manor’s communication spell.

3. the fishing spell formation in his own cellar.

Currently, the level of “1” is the lowest.

Heine can already separate the skeleton’s soulfire.

This allows players to fall into a deep sleep, but the recovery speed is no match for the fishponds, and the deconstruction spells of Barry’s Lair.

The recovery speed was roughly:
Heine’s Psionics 〈Deconstructing Phalanx 〈Fish Pond

Fishpond has the best recovery.

It’s even a bit too flattering to compare him that way.

But it was finally a solution to the hidden danger of sudden death for skeletons.

This way, even if he took the skeletons on a long trip, he wouldn’t have to worry about something happening to them.

Immediately followed by “2”, the communication spell.

Communicating was second to Soulfire Separation in terms of the requirement for genjutsu affinity.

With Heine’s three levels of affinity, it was still a bit difficult to communicate, and it was not as convenient as using the Bridge.

Moreover, it consumes a lot of energy.

As for the “3”, fishing in the cellar of his own ……

His affinity level is obviously not enough.

He only had one bait left now, on the mage Naga.

But he was clear that even with the lure, he couldn’t do anything to space out his perception to go deeper into the fish pond.

Even more so, he couldn’t space out to see if there were any new arrivals in the fish pond.

Moreover, after detaching from the spell, he could no longer experience that kind of divinity that controlled everything.

In a way, this was the gap between his attainment in psionics and that of the initial user.

……

He first came to the lord’s mansion and handed over the bottle of Silverwing’s personal collection to Rowan.

It was what he had left over from using it.

This potion that could maintain the body’s energy while sleeping was exactly what George needed.

According to Shiala, this potion wasn’t complicated, it just couldn’t make its way to the mountains of McCalla.

The reason was simple, elven magic props, equipment and potions were not recognized by the Lion King’s trade house.

And the Makara Mountain Region would only circulate Lion King marked goods in a large area.

Then, he sent a letter to Mr. Naga of the Lion King’s Trade House as an advisor to initiate an appointment.

He was now nominally Naga’s “eyes and ears” in the lord’s mansion, and this was also the way he and Megumi agreed to meet.

After that, the carriage sped towards the eastern suburbs, just like the September wind.

There was no news of the battle of Cuilaiting in the wind, and the mountains of Makara were as peaceful as ever.

Toward twilight, they arrived near the town of Greenleaf.

The mayor of Greenleaf was Farmer Jones, who was also the lord of the place.

Heine called Todd out of the wagon.

The boy had been stared at all the way by the three skeletons and was now a bit paranoid.

“That’s your home up ahead, go back and tell Jones that the lord’s spell advisor wants to talk to him.”

Todd shivered.

“What if he won’t see me?”

Heine smiled, “You’ve seen the Floating City, and you’ve seen how the Cuirassiers fell, you’ve seen more than anyone else in town, and I think you’ll be able to figure it out.

“I suggest you tell them this, whether they believe it or not.

“You can also choose to bring them out and figure out a way to keep me here, which is probably what you want to do the most.”

“No, that’s not what I was thinking ……”

Todd bowed his head in fear.

He wouldn’t blow up like he had initially.

Heine was right, he did see more now.

It was only because of the growth of insight and the opening of his eyes that he realized how naive he had been in the past.

Besides, he had no personal grudge against Heine.

He was a mature mercenary.

He had taken the commission to kill the other party, and he had no complaints about being killed by the other party, let alone the fact that he hadn’t done so yet.

“I will bring your opinion to, I will …… try my best to persuade him.”

“Very well, go.”

Todd left. As he rounded a corner, Mr. Summer entered the dive at Heine’s command.

He quietly followed and joined him on the farm.

……

Todd was not a relative of Jones, the farmer, but he was a level two hunter.

At the same time, he was a member of the Roaring Mercenaries.

The destruction of the Roaring Mercenary Corps was only known to a small number of people, so quite a few people recognized him and went up to greet him in surprise.

There were many half-elves of Todd’s age here.

Basically every food crisis in the Whispering Forest would have a group of elves entering the farm.

So this group of half-elves were all of similar age.

The half-elves just looked young and did not inherit the lifespan of the elves.

“Hey Todd, haven’t seen you in a while, where did you go recently to get rich?”

A half-elf teenager with freckles on his face came over.

Todd slapped the other’s hand away and glared at him.

“Lavan, I don’t have any money to lend you.”

“What are you talking about, I didn’t come to borrow money from you this time. How’s Chief Jason doing?”

“The headmaster he ……”

A white skeleton floated before Todd’s eyes.

The Headmaster he’s at the Gitler Estate with the cement, the flesh is falling off.

“I quit the mercs.”

He waved his hand, out of conversation, and turned toward the largest building.

“Hey Todd, wait for me!”

Lavan hurried after him.

Just then, three heavily armed elves passed in front of him in a group of people.

They were so high and mighty that they hated to look at people with their jaws.

Todd didn’t say a word, but Lavan was excited:

“That’s the high level hunters of the Cuiloba Court, not common, right? They came the day before yesterday.

“Look at their bows! I’ve heard that the arrows are all wooden, and the magical conductivity is not inferior to enchanted arrows.”

Todd frowned, “The day before yesterday? What were they doing here? Doesn’t Lord …… Jones care?”

“Care? Care about what? That’s the Night Elves of Cuirasset Court, Todd what are you babbling about?”

Lavan looked like he was taking it for granted.

Todd couldn’t say anything.

After all, that’s what he thought a few days ago.

A visit from an elf was indeed something to be happy about.

But after seeing the destruction of the Cuirassier Court, he felt a pang of nausea as he watched this group of cowards, likely deserters, strutting their stuff.

On what grounds?

“Do you know what they’re here for?” He asked.

“How would I know that, it’s a secret.”

“One silver coin, owed in advance.”

Lavan immediately smiled with a big smile, “Or you kid is generous, although it is a secret, but what kind of person am I Lavan ah ……”

“You say no?”

“I’ll say, I’ll say, I heard my brother-in-law’s uncle’s sister’s house maid say that they are here to discuss cooperation.

“It seems that Cuilhetin is planning to set up a stronghold in the lumberyard on the northeast side of town, and they say they want a place the size of a buckskin to settle some of the wounded. By the way, it looks like they fought something up north.”

Todd: “Shouldn’t you go talk to the Lords about something like that?”

“The lords? Aren’t they just …… Oh, you mean that kid in Ebony who can’t get out of bed? Hey, who cares about him, alas and alack, Todd where are you going?”

Todd went straight up and followed the group of elves towards the lords’ mansion.

The guards saw his face and stepped forward to intercept him.

In the past, Todd might have cringed at this.

But he was at least someone who had participated in two large-scale group battles.

Although once he was captured and once he was ob the whole time.
But having seen human life as grass, he had more or less accumulated some killing spirit.

“I want to see the lord, I want to tell him that the three elves that just went in are fake! They have nothing to do with the Court of Emerald Leaves!”

The guards were intimidated by his aura, and after glancing at each other, one of them twisted his head and went to inform.

It didn’t take long for the guards to return.

He was followed by an elf, one of the three who had just entered.

When the other party saw that Todd was just a half-elf, a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.

“Where’s the little Pernie from, weaned yet?”

There were two interpretations of Penny.

One is a term of endearment for an elven child, and the other is a term of contempt for a half-elf.

At this point there was no doubt it was an insult.

Todd would have only been ashamed of his impurity before.

But now, he was furious!
“Who are you calling Penny?”

He angrily stepped forward and swung his fist.

The guards tried to stop him, but before they could strike, they both fainted with a crooked neck.

As for the sneering elf, he was just pulling away when he realized he was locked in a choke hold from behind.

He twisted his head in panic, only to see a red mask and a dark purple soulfire.

Bang!
He fell limply to the ground.

Todd was instantly faced with surprise:

“You really are following me!”
