Roland can't read minds or tell fortunes. Of course, what he said to Macon can also be regarded as fortune telling in a sense.
However, that is not a special way of peeking into the fate of astrology wizards, but simply deception.
It doesn't matter whether you talk to people or talk to ghosts - that's not a great thing. If you insist on giving it a noble name, it's just cold reading.
Most of this knowledge is used in folk divination such as horoscopes and tarot cards. If it is described in more official terms, it can be called cold reading as a technique that uses conversational and psychological strategies to build trusting relationships.
Many liars, diviners, and magicians will skillfully use this knowledge to establish an advantage for themselves in front of strangers. Roland has been good at using this knowledge to establish a trusting relationship with strangers a long time ago.
Of course, in the modern society with information explosion, many people are very wary of strangers. Therefore, Roland's communication does not hope to achieve his goal in just one time. Compared with that unrealistic vision,
Roland wanted to obtain more relevant information through cold reading and use it as a springboard for further contact.
For example, if Roland said in a tone that did not arouse alarm, "I can see that you often make simple things complicated" or "I think you are more happy with your girlfriend than yourself.
"Important person", the other party's reaction is usually to look at Roland in surprise, and then "Indeed, I once..."
After that, Roland will adjust his next strategy based on what the other party said.
As for Macon, there are not so many ways to do it.
After revealing a person's secret - or he thinks that Roland has revealed his secret, the image of Roland in his memory will be associated with this secret. This has nothing to do with the size or importance of the secret, but
It just depends on when Macon forgets what Roland is talking about now.
But I'm afraid he will never forget it for the rest of his life.
What's more, what Roland said to Marken was not a complete lie. In more than a day of getting along with each other, Roland also got a little bit of Marken's character from the details. Although Roland's lie was a bit confusing, there was something in it.
The essence is indeed true.
Macon definitely has some kind of goal in his heart. Joining Kalal's military or even the Dumb Blade troops can bring him closer to his goal, but it cannot directly satisfy him.
Until his goal is achieved, the Dumb Blade troops cannot command Macon's absolute loyalty.
The word General Marnos that Roland blurted out before did not mean that Roland was familiar with him - all Roland knew about General Marnos was "a wooden stake boss with a surprisingly stupid mechanism".
However, Roland's understanding of the Karar military and his ability to casually name high-ranking officers according to the military's confidentiality regulations are actually the same as Roland's previous revelation of the nature of Macon's Silent Swordsman profession.
When Roland's enemy is unclear, this kind of behavior will only double Macon's hostility and vigilance towards Roland.
And once he determined that Roland was Druid - his superior and one of his own, this kind of thorough understanding of Macon's environment only continued to deepen Macon's assumptions.
By the time Roland entered the door, Macon's last hint of wariness towards Roland had disappeared - General Marnos was a confidential figure in the Karar military and was a secret weapon. So far, although Marnos has resigned from the rank of general,
But except for the silent swordsmen directly under him, even the generals of other armies didn't recognize him.
Kruveen is a special case - that's because he was saved once by General Marnos. And he still doesn't know the name of the man who saved him, he only knows what he looks like.
Under this situation, Roland was able to speak Marnos's name, and Macon put down all his vigilance towards Roland.
Subconsciously, Macon also believed what Roland said later.
Trust has inertia - this is the reason why nine sentences are true and one is false.
When someone exposed the secret hidden in his heart, Marken was shocked.
Although it cannot be said that Macon will definitely treat Roland, but at least when reporting the process of this operation to his superiors, it is worthy of careful consideration whether to disclose Roland's existence.
After quickly calming down his mind - he was just stunned for a moment in front of others, Macon quickly turned around and followed Roland into the hotel, forgetting to wipe off the sweat on his body.
This was his subconscious reaction to regarding Roland as his leader.
"A roasted pear."
Before even taking a look at the menu, Roland randomly found a place and said casually.
Slowly wiping the table, the landlady with long fiery red hair raised her head and glanced at Roland. But when she saw Roland's dress, her whole body trembled, and she immediately lowered her eyes and muttered a few vague words.
, walked away quickly to prepare breakfast for Roland.
Roland didn't bother to look back at the boss lady who was obviously panicking. He just leaned on his seat and closed his eyes slightly to take a rest. After all, he got up a little early today.
The reason why the landlady panicked when she saw Roland was because she had something to do with the blacksmith's son. It's not like Roland had never gone through this quest line in the game back then.
...Really, the Blighters don't care about these things. Even if you have affairs with all the men in the town, it's none of Roland's business.
And Macen stood directly next to Roland, looking a little unnatural.
He wanted to go out and clean up before, but after subconsciously following Roland in, it seemed a little uncomfortable for him to go out by himself——
"Ah, that's right," Roland said softly with his eyes closed, "Marken, if you have anything to do, go ahead and do it first. I don't like people watching me while I'm eating."
"Then I'll go and clean it up. The eldest lady should be awake as well, and she's probably praying now."
Macon said in a deep voice.
The sound of light footsteps gradually disappearing made Roland a little confused. The night before, Roland had been recalling the details in Falina's diary and almost didn't sleep at all. This also ensured that Roland could not oversleep in the morning - he himself
After midnight, I woke up when the silver moon was setting in the west.
After that, Roland's nerves became even more tense - unlike in Trace of Light, where he could kite a group of people purely by relying on technology and location, Roland never felt much nervous.
But it was different in Lamu. Even though Roland seemed to be very calm all the time, he was extremely nervous because his life was directly hung on a word from this woman, Farina, and yet he was talking to Farina.
I wasn't familiar with Na at all, so I couldn't predict her reaction at all.
Even if Roland calculated all of Falina's reactions correctly, what if that woman got so angry that she didn't care about anything and just slapped Roland to death?
Roland had previously felt that the stupidity of basing the success of a plan on whether a woman had a bad temper was almost the same as deceiving someone by reading an almanac.
Anyway, it’s just a matter of time to deceive people.
However, he never imagined that one day he would be in a situation where he would have to do such an incredibly stupid thing.
It feels really bad to have your life completely in the hands of others. This is why Roland will not offer his loyalty to any existence that may be twitchy.
This is also the reason why Roland must obtain the Death Crow profession.
Among all the priests, only the Death Crow has the highest degree of freedom. Even the sons of Eloha, who are also saint priests, must do things approved by Eloha.
As for Tutor Everlasting Sleep, she only cares about the results. Therefore, she will never deliberately deceive her followers, and as long as the results are what she wants, she doesn't care at all no matter what methods the Death Crows use, whether they are pious or not.
Therefore, although the Death Crow is the strongest of all professions, it is also the least united. Fortunately, there is a boss suppressing them, so at least there will be no real fight.
Of course, you can also think that this is because the Death Crow is the only pastoral group that does not have a supreme leader under God and an earthly spokesman for God.
If Roland could become the successor of the Sleeping Mentor, the pope of the Crows, and unite this huge and scattered force into one, maybe the world would not suffer such a great loss when Christmas was lost.
——Even, maybe the Ring of South Wind will be wiped out by Roland before the Lost Christmas is launched.
Roland was thinking wildly like this and soon fell asleep in a daze. But at this moment, Roland suddenly felt someone approaching him - and it was not the landlady who brought roasted pears. Roland had already felt this in a daze before.
I've been to the landlady once.
Moreover, Roland could also tell that it was not Macan or Kluvien, but completely unfamiliar footsteps that Roland had never heard before.
The unfamiliar footsteps stopped politely two or three meters away from Roland.
Roland could feel that this person was definitely coming for him.
...Is she from Farina? Did she react so quickly?
Or someone who is the master of violence? No, it's impossible. Those guys whose minds are filled with muscles and liquor definitely don't have such manners.
About two seconds later, an elegant young voice with a Titanic-like but not so standard ending sounded from the place in front of Roland:
"Dear Blighter, Esther Eberron pays tribute to the father of Gaia——"
Roland's eyelids twitched and he pulled away somewhat displeased.
Can't you see that he is sleeping? Why do you dare to disturb a Blighter's rest when you know he is a Blighter?
However, he actually knew that Roland, the father of Gaia, was also somewhat curious about the young man who suddenly came to see him.
So Roland raised his head slightly and looked at the bold young man.
Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, black hair and black eyes, he is very tall, about 1.9 meters tall. He wears a simple dress that is very different from this small town, giving people the impression that he is as elegant as a scholar.
It wasn't an illusion - Roland always felt like he had seen him somewhere. Moreover, the name Esther also sounded familiar - he had definitely seen the owner of this name outside of the dungeon.
"Young man, what's the matter?"
Out of this vigilance, Roland lowered his voice very low, and in line with his naturally hoarse voice, he became like an old man in his twilight years.
"Lord Blighter, have you heard of Yali?"
"...I'm sorry, can you repeat it again?"
Roland, who was still a little confused, almost heard it wrong. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
