Chapter 796 The Technique of Deception and the Temptation of Two People (4000.1
Ian squinted his eyes and observed the eldest prince in front of him extremely carefully.
Carlos still showed a relaxed posture. He bowed his head slightly to Ian, spread his arms, and exposed his muscular chest, as if to say that Ian was welcome to look at it and observe it however he wanted.
Speaking of which, the eldest prince of the empire is indeed a person who does not match his appearance and behaves quite freely.
When Ian arrived at the door of the embassy from the Ember Lantern Mansion on the fourth floor of the World Tree Capital, Carlos was already waiting at the door. He laughed and went out to greet the boy. The warm embrace undoubtedly made the prophet
I was a little surprised - the other party was not friends like Isengard and Anfa, but he was so enthusiastic when they first met. He was either a woman or a thief!
After that, Carlos did show his extraordinary speed. In just a moment, the eldest prince who was originally at the gate came to Ian. It was in line with his self-described speed of light, but this
This speed is not without warning.
Carlos's high-speed movement will bring considerable fluctuations in the source material. The longer the distance, the greater the fluctuations in the source material.
Indeed, Carlos can use his own essence to suppress the changes in the surrounding air, or in other words, move like real light - but this movement is definitely limited to the periphery of his body, and the surrounding clothes are already very reluctant.
.
Is it possible to take a glass of juice from the counter and place it on the table without any hesitation? No.
Of course it's impossible.
Ian looked at the table. It was a very common Canaanite Moorish style tea table. The four table pillars were carved into four butterflies that had just begun to emerge from their cocoons, and the table top was a crystal clear complex butterfly.
Wings, the light flashes back and forth in these butterfly wings. In human eyes, it is a dazzling river of scales, as dazzling as real butterfly scale powder.
But the purple peach juice was placed there, motionless.
Light. Motionless, with no trace of juice.
The young man suddenly understood. He saw through Carlos's method: "It's a deception."
Raising his head, Ian said softly but firmly: "Juice has been here from the beginning. Your Highness Carlos, you haven't moved since the beginning. You have been sitting on the sofa and just straightened up a little - Juice
From the very beginning on the table, you used the most exquisite light blinding method to deceive my vision, and used the sublimation technique that may have been prepared long ago to seal the taste of the juice."
"You have been taking the lead in the topic and letting my thoughts follow your topic. This has left me with no time to fully observe the wine bottles on the table and the juice hidden in the light, so I have to use high-speed movement to go out.
The action of welcoming me also made me subconsciously assume that you will take the same method to get the juice."
After saying this, he laughed: "You use light to block your vision, and use a small amount of source matter to suppress the spread of the smell. Your Highness, you have been misleading and deceiving since we met. This is a carefully planned trap that makes my instinct
And my intuition deceived myself into thinking I had the right answer.”
"But in fact, you never took action." Pah. Pah. Pah.
Prince Carlos looked at Ian with surprise. He clapped his palms vigorously, as if celebrating the most exciting event: "Yes! That's it!"
"Ian, as expected of you, you actually saw through this. You know, when I first showed my little deception skills, I could deceive even ordinary fourth-level people.
But you, as the second level, can discover it!"
"That's ridiculous."
Ian remained calm and said modestly: "Your Highness, you certainly did not use all your strength to deal with me and you also deliberately chose a butterfly wing table with a large amount of light refraction. This can easily lead to the correct answer."
"Actually, as long as I don't use my psychic powers, I won't be able to discover the perfect light deception technique."
"Haha, don't be modest. Although fighting requires only this moment of hesitation and distraction, if it is fighting, you can see through it at a glance."
Carlos shook the wine bottle in his hand, then took a sip and said cheerfully: "And
Moreover, you kid, the subtext behind your words is that as long as you turn on the prophetic power, no one in this world can deceive you? It is indeed true, the prophet is more than enough to see through this little trick."
"But, little prophet, you still made a mistake." "Ian, do you see it?"
Saying this, the eldest prince held his left hand in the air, and the purple peach juice originally placed on the table rose into the air and came to Ian: "Take a good look."
Ian frowned slightly. He took the purple peach juice and stiffened slightly. "This is not purple peach."
The moment Ian took the juice, the purple color in the originally full cup faded in an instant and turned into a fresh pink! The young man stared at the cup in his hand in astonishment: "Peach juice?"
Looking up, Ian almost took a breath of cold air: "Now the price of juice has become one-ninth of the original price!" "Why do you care about the price? I think peach juice tastes better than purple peach, and it doesn't taste good on the tongue."
It will turn purple."
Carlos shook his head and showed a standard eight-toothed smile: "You can see through the first point, which is enough to surprise me, and the second point, although it seems that I revoked the source of matter, so the purple peach turned back into honey.
Peach, but in fact, I felt that your essence came into contact with mine the moment it touched the cup - that is not a coincidence."
"Although the next moment, you shrank back, like a slippery catfish, pretending not to notice it. But I clearly sensed it, so I took the initiative to cancel the source material and ended this
Test it once, and recognize your victory.”
Facing Ian, who still looked confused, Carlos kicked the table angrily: "Don't put on an innocent face. It looks good and it's easy to get away with it, but it's useless to me."
He was getting up at the moment, but he was still lying on the sofa: "Don't pretend. Mikael should have told you, right? Pretending too much is the same as showing your own strength. You have demonstrated high-level source quality control."
With your skills and combat power, you can even have the upper hand against the dedicated assassins of the Ten Kings of Blood. How can you retreat? You will definitely find out!"
"As long as it is discovered, the disguise of the contents in the bottle is meaningless."
"But I actually didn't expect that you could actually notice something was wrong with the juice the first time you picked up the bottle."
"It can be considered a warning."
Seeing that there was no way to hide it from Carlos, Ian also changed his expression and said relaxedly: "It is too difficult for me to believe that the contents of a bottle that has been manipulated by a fraud master are what I saw.
point."
"What's more, can't you also tell that I am a prophet?" "Ian, this is not a difficult matter at all."
When Carlos heard this, he moved on the sofa. He sighed and said: "Your sect, the Chongling Sect or the Star Soul Sect, in short, it is the new sect in Nanling, and the names of prophets in it are all resounding.
It reaches heaven and earth.”
"Furthermore, as soon as I heard what you said, I knew that because of your origin in Nanling, you lacked some not-so-secret common sense of high-level nobles."
At this moment, the man with long platinum hair raised his brows and said seriously: "That is, no one, no liar or gambler, dares to deceive people by claiming to be a prophet."
"Even psykers, even psykers with almost prophetic power, would not dare to call themselves prophets rashly." "Because."
"The four orthodox religions will investigate the true situation of this 'prophet' as soon as possible and share information with each other!"
After speaking, Carlos continued to show his standard friendly smile. He looked at Ian with a playful look on his face and said, "How's it going? Do you understand now?"
"Huai Guang did not question you. Neither did the Psychic Order."
"All Spirits Hall has no response to this. Suming Cult just sent a team to Nanling - they neither tied you up nor labeled the sect that claims to have a prophet as a 'cult'. You
Do you understand what this means?"
Ian remained silent, while the eldest prince continued to talk: "No reaction is the most
big reaction
"The four orthodox religions are silent. Theoretically, the Huaiguang Church, which can be known first, is your friend. Listen, Ian. It is impossible for a person to be neither an ordinary person nor an ordinary person after going through the inspection of the four orthodox religions.
Not a prophet. You must be one or the other, there is no other possibility.”
"So much information."
He gestured with a sword finger with his finger, and wiped it on his neck: "By the way, if I don't see this, why should I be the supreme commander of Jinghaiwei? What kind of intelligence department should I control?
?I might as well hit my head on my younger brother's sword and die, so as not to bring shame to the Setar family."
"Also a possibility.""
Although he had already acquiesced, Ian took a sip of peach juice and still responded with interest: "That might be a prophetic artifact, right?"
"Indeed, there are quite a few."
The eldest prince did not deny this possibility: "But if the prophetic artifact can be used by the right person, then he is a prophet - do you think there are many people who can use the prophetic artifact normally? That also requires corresponding talents, especially
How many years does it take to find a perfect controller of a specific prophetic artifact? Besides not being prophets, they are not much more common than prophets!"
"oh?"
Ian's head rested lightly on the sofa, and he let the back of his head sink into the soft pterosaur wing membrane, lost in thought. - The little girl Ryan brought, one of the Baron's children named Linda
little girl.
She can control the Prophet's relic, the Moment's Skull. And she is an artificial psyker.
Obviously, that is the artificial psyker specially made by the Gnostic Institute to adapt to the Skull of the Moment. They have mastered this technology!
Prophets are difficult to create, or rather impossible to create, so try to create psykers who can use them based on the relics of the prophets!
As long as you open your mind, the road is wide, and don't be afraid of failure. There won't be any consequences anyway, right? You can also verify the experiments of artificial psykers.
At this moment, Ian understood the despicable and vicious thinking of the scholars of the Academy of Spiritual Knowledge. - What other research does the empire have?
Thinking of this, he took another sip of peach juice. "This is a trick."
At this moment, the eldest prince Carlos pointed at the juice cup in Ian's hand, smiled and said seriously: "No one will be deceived the second time, but as long as it is the first time, no one can guarantee that he will be able to see through it and be deceived.
The technique of premonition of the sublime."
"As long as they take things that are inherently dangerous as a matter of course, they will not have any clear foreknowledge of it. At most, they will feel vaguely uneasy."
"However, which advanced person does not live in a vague sense of uneasiness? Who can live in this world with peace of mind? As long as you can do this, you can deceive the strong."
"It's like this now - Ian."
"Don't you realize that peach juice is actually poisonous?"
Saying this, the prince of the empire was quite evil. He showed a cheerful smile like a little boy who succeeded in playing a prank. He pointed at the peach juice cup in Ian's hand and said with a evil smile: "That's the poison of the Moonlight Snake.
It is tasteless and tastes similar to peach juice. Although it may not be fatal to you, it can make you paralyzed and lie on the sofa as comfortably as me!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
Ian was holding the juice cup in his right hand, and he also showed a wicked smile like a little boy who had succeeded in playing a prank - the holder of the water fairy bloodline raised his left hand: "Your Highness, don't look down on others!"
What appeared in Ian's left hand was a small group of ice crystals. It was the moonlight snake's poison that the young man had purified from peach juice with his own body and crystallized in his palm!
Under the genuinely surprised gaze of Prince Carlos, Ian tossed up the poison crystal and dropped it back into his mouth. The young man chewed it and said with a smile: "I am close to a master alchemist, even the youngest master of alchemy.
——As you said, it’s okay if I don’t know, I’ve already been vigilant. I’ve already discovered the purple peach and peach, so how could I still not discover the poison?”
"What's more
"What's more, the moonlight snake's poison."
Ian swallowed the sweet poison crystal in his mouth, shrugged and said, "The taste is very good, and it is also tasted by the peach juice."
He was not poisoned at all. As Prince Carlos said before, as long as he is prepared, the Ascendant can deal with any attack.
Whether it's light or poison, it's all the same. "Wonderful!"
Prince Carlos exclaimed in amazement. He even put down the bottle of wine and gave Ian a gesture of admiration: "You are several times better than I thought - how many surprises are you going to bring? You are really a treasure.
.”
"You have to know that this seemingly simple serial deception was able to hide the past from the strongest person in the world!"
At this point, his expression suddenly became sentimental: "The First Knight used such a simple technique back then. As long as it is used when a strong man like him is relieved and relaxed, it can still be effective."
