Chapter 210 Awakening, Talent
Lucian did not return to Lula's bedroom immediately. Instead, he sneaked into the shadow space and began to wander around quietly to check whether other players were following him.
"Huh? The player who is the maid is still there?" Soon, when Lucian passed by the room where the servants lived in the manor, he noticed the maid he had marked before.
But the latter was sleeping soundly at this time, and the player's body seemed to have left with the help of the rules of the night.
"It seems that at least it is safe around here, otherwise this player with some reckless actions would not be able to survive until now." Lucian paused for a while, and after hesitating, he gave up on bringing this third-level wizard apprentice level. The idea of player harvesting.
However, while the player left this identity, Lucian's mental power quietly penetrated into the body of the maid, and used his mental power as a label to leave an obscure mark in her body.
Once the maid dies, Lucian can quickly sense it through this mark. From a certain perspective, she has now become a "living" one-time warning device set by Lucian.
"I hope the early warning device I arranged will be effective." After dealing with all this, Lucian quickly left and returned to Lula's bedroom.
"Awakening Stone." After fusing his own body with Lula's identity, Lucian took out the dusty stone from inside his space ring.
He stared at the awakening stone, but his eyes seemed a little hesitant.
"According to what I heard at the party, the requirement of 'acting' does not seem to be completely consistent with the character, but rather to not let one's abnormalities be noticed by non-player characters. From this perspective, I even Let Lula become the 'Awakened One', but as long as I don't expose myself, there won't be any problems, but it will give me a trump card."
Lucian stared at the Awakening Stone, and finally no longer hesitated, pricking Lula's finger and dripping a drop of her blood into the dusty Awakening Stone.
Tick--
The blood dripped on the awakening stone, causing the stone to begin to soften at a speed visible to the naked eye. The stone even began to slowly squirm, as if it had some characteristics of life.
Lucian did not hesitate and stretched out Lula's hand to make contact with the activated awakening stone. At the same time, he also released his mental power and began to observe the entire process of [Lula's] awakening.
"The body seems to be starting to undergo some kind of transformation? Well, it's more like it's looking for an entry point to merge with this body... This should also be related to the extraordinary ability after awakening..."
Lucian could feel that after Lula's body was fused with the Awakening Stone, some of the extraordinary powers hidden in her body began to become active.
Among them are the power to control fire, the power to control ice, and even the ability to control extremely thin space, which seems to be a special talent for teleportation...
"It's a pity that these talents are not a good choice for me. After all, the risk of exposure when using these talents is too high." Lu Xian muttered in his heart, while also manipulating his mental power to hinder The inner power of the Awakening Stone merges with the extraordinary power shown in Lula's body.
But when Lucian's mental power and the power of the Awakening Stone were entangled with each other, they suddenly merged together.
"Huh?" Lu Xian was startled. He was about to peel off the power that was entangled with his own mental power, but he soon stopped what he was doing because he was tainted with his own mental power. After the breath, the nature of the power contained within the awakening stone seemed to have changed.
It soon separated from Lucian's mental power, and began to rapidly transform Lula's body. It regarded other extraordinary powers inside the body as material and began to devour and transform them.
"It seems... the awakening stone treats my mental power as a special source of awakening, and therefore has mastered some kind of talent related to mental power?" Lu Xian guessed, but the awakening was not over at this time. , and therefore he did not know what kind of extraordinary talent Lula finally awakened due to his intervention.
But soon, the severe pain from Lula's mind was transmitted to Lucian's body, making him no longer able to maintain the state of being integrated and separated from [Lula], but his consciousness was completely replaced by Lula. Identity, I felt the painful process of the awakening stone's power transforming my mind.
"ah……"
"oh……"
Lucian seemed to hear the voices of many people in his mind at this time. He was confused and couldn't hear clearly, but those words made Lucian feel a sense of irritation and even pain.
These voices echoed in his mind, seeming to burst his mind. Even if he resisted with the mental strength of a formal wizard, he still felt a little powerless.
Consciousness seems to have become a small sailboat rocking in the rough waves. It may capsize at any time in such waves that are higher than the boat. Lucian's consciousness gradually blurred, and everything in front of him became distorted...
"Ahhh..." He covered his head helplessly, but this instinctive body protection could not relieve his current state at all, and he couldn't help but roll on the bed.
"Hold it... hold it back... If the movement is louder, it will attract other people." Lucian's remaining rationality tried his best to stabilize the current state. At this time, there was almost no concept of time in Lucian's consciousness. It feels like time is slowing down to almost a stagnation.
I don't know how much time passed, but the pain in Lucian's mind finally eased. He hurriedly took out a tube of medicine from the storage ring and drank it. Looking at the slightly bright sky outside the window, Lucian spit out a sigh of relief. tone.
"It's okay, it's okay... I made it through." Lucian whispered, with a hint of fear in his tone.
Then, he closed his eyes and silently felt the extraordinary talent awakened by Lula's identity. This was the power he had just endured in exchange for great pain!
"It's really a spiritual talent. I can even feel that a natural witchcraft-like model has formed in Lula's mind..." Lucian opened his eyes, with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and looking like crying but not crying. "So, the pain I just felt was because this awakening stone forcibly carved a witchcraft model into [Lula]'s mind?"
"In terms of complexity, this witchcraft model is at least at the level of Level 2 witchcraft. However, if it is stimulated in the crude way of those awakened people in the dream world, it will definitely not be able to mobilize all the power inside it..."
Lucian silently checked [Lula]'s talent, and soon he understood its precise effect.
This extraordinary talent can be called [Mind Reading]. The ability is biased toward auxiliary aspects. It can accurately detect other people's true emotions and even their voices. However, the effect of this ability will vary depending on the strength of the user. There is a distinction.
For example, if [Lula] were to use the weak mental power inside her body for detection, she would only be able to see the "emotions" of other people at best.
If it is a person who is good at acting or hiding his emotions, this kind of observation may even be misjudged or undetectable. If you want to read other people's thoughts, you need to look into the other person's eyes at close range. , using the eyes as a medium to reduce the consumption of mental energy.
But if Lucian uses his own spiritual power to strengthen, then this ability can be horribly enhanced.
As long as others don't cover it up deliberately or have similar defense methods, Lucian can quietly sense his true emotions and inner thoughts with the help of this [mind-reading] talent, and avoid them in advance or extract useful information.
"Perhaps for normal awakened people, this talent is a burden. After all, it has no ability to fight head-on. But for players, it is simply a 'bug' level talent..." Lucian's face was filled with confusion. He suppressed a smile.
With this ability, he will have a deeper grasp of the key plots of some subsequent dreams, and he can even become a "manipulator" through his ability.
"Miss, good morning! It's time to get up!" Just when Lucian began to think about the role of his ability, Mir, the maid outside the door, had already entered the bedroom and greeted him cheerfully.
"Well, there is a little blue around the body. It seems that my maid has not completely emerged from the previous shadow. It's just that she is still trying to hide her true emotions as much as possible in front of [Lula], and she is still trying. Healing Lula's heart with warmth... He is such a good person!" Lu Xian sighed inwardly.
But he also understood that the characters in these dreams were just illusory bubbles. Maybe they had prototypes, but at least everything that happened in this dream was formatted and illusory personalities.
"Good morning, Sister Mir." Although he was thinking in his heart, Lucian still had a sweet smile on his face.
At the same time, Lucian's mental power also quietly enhanced his newly awakened talent, and he wanted to use Mir as a guinea pig to test how powerful his talent was after being strengthened by his mental power.
But when Lucian's mental power was added to his [Mind Reading] talent, he suddenly felt a black emotion full of malice.
This emotion was directed at me, and it was not far from my body.
"Then...who is that?" Lucian didn't even bother to check Mir's inner state. After changing his clothes, he hurried out to check the source of the malice.
But in his field of vision, he saw his father [Janos] holding a cup of coffee-like drink, and noticing Lucian or Lula's gaze, a gentle and kind look appeared on Janos's face. Smile.
