"Welcome to the boundless and powerful Lord Saint Oranzo!"
"Welcome to the boundless and powerful Lord Saint Oranzo—"
In an arid valley covered with weeds and rugged rocks, the snow goblin wizard Akuma Matata holds a blue-black deep crystal scepter, wears a red and white feather crown, and wears a dark blue short-sleeved robe, and bows to Xuan Weizi.
Bow down and worship.
Behind him he also led hundreds of his own snow goblins, more than a thousand ordinary goblins with yellow and green skin, and dozens of ogres two people tall. They all threw themselves at Xuan Weizi and repeated
The sacred name lengthened by the snow goblin wizard. If an outsider saw this scene, they would think that Xuan Weizi was the boss or leader of some monster legion.
"Get up." Xuan Weizi waved his hand, Akuma Matata stood up and hit the deep crystal scepter, and then the monster army behind him followed, quite showy and showy.
Facing the wind in the valley and the stench filling the sky, Xuan Weizi touched his nose, turned to look at the alchemy apprentice Isei Sotos next to him, and said with a smile: "It seems you are used to this smell?"
The pits are full of goblins and ogres, and the smell emanating from them can be imagined. It is comparable to a landfill. Some stupid green goblins are still there with their butt cracks pressed nonchalantly, their fingers stained with filth.
I stuffed it into my mouth like this and sucked it with relish.
Isai quickly waved his hand: "No, I just made myself a bottle of alchemical essential oil and dripped it into my nose. Now my sense of smell is almost useless."
"This is a solution." Xuan Weizi lamented. Unless someone like Isai has been exposed to alchemy and non-human beings for a long time, most ordinary people will not be able to get along with monsters like goblins and ogres.
Those who are not from my race must have different minds - the expression of this sentence in this world may be even more extreme. Although they are also creatures with certain intelligence and humanoid form, they have completely different physiological structures. They are very different.
Survival habits and completely different conceptual cognitions.
With all these differences, if they are separated by mountains, rivers, seas and land, they can still live in peace. However, when the living environments overlap, in order to compete for and protect their respective survival resources, conflicts are bound to arise. And this conflict is fundamentally
It is irreconcilable, and any community with a shared future is even more delusional.
Therefore, the astral body left by Xuan Weizi on Akuma Matata has not been removed. If he could, he could blow up his ugly little head at any time.
But seeing that the snow goblin wizard was able to control so many monsters, Xuan Weizi also had other ideas.
Due to long-term exposure to myconid spores and deep crystal radiation, as well as the "Five Laws of Punishments" taught by Xuan Weizi, the snow goblin wizard's physical functions and psychic powers produced a special combination effect, nourishing the soul with the body, and instead developed this
Guys brain, improve intelligence.
Thanks to the adaptability of the goblin body to the external environment and the conditioning effect of the "Five Penal Laws" on the body, it is also indispensable that the mycoid spores serve as the "outer elixir bait", the deep crystal radiation serves as the "cave spirit breath", and the snow goblin wizard
The greater wisdom and magical talent within the tribe, as well as the above-mentioned factors, combined to make Akuma Matata a psychic.
Unlike Xuan Weizi, who uses pure yang soul and mind cultivation to penetrate various psychic powers and systems, Akuma Matata seems to be more specialized in the magic and control system of psychic powers, which is related to the fact that he usually rules a group of snow goblins.
His intelligence level and mental thinking cannot support his integration of the six major energy systems of psychic powers.
According to astral psychics, psychics who specialize in the psychic powers of the control system are generally called "telepaths". They are good at detecting and influencing the minds of others, changing or controlling their behavior. If you ignore the "Psychic" produced by Isai
"Spore", just look at Akuma Matata's ability to control one or two thousand large and small monsters like an arm and a finger. Even a high-ranking mage who is good at the arcane magic of the control system will be amazed by the power of psychic energy.
"How long can the effectiveness of the mind-confused spores you made last?" Xuan Weizi quietly communicated with Yisai's mind.
Isai blinked and replied without opening his mouth: "It's hard to say, I haven't done experiments on humans yet. It depends on whether the other person's life constitution will be resistant to foreign substances. Because the mind-confused spores have been refined and processed, and they are basically
It is non-toxic and harmless. It is just a medium to conduct and amplify the magical energy. Generally speaking, creatures like goblins can last for about four or five months. If the metabolism of the creature is faster, the time will naturally be shorter.
If the mind-obsessed spores cause a rejection reaction after entering the body of an organism, you need to rely on both Fortitude and Will saves to resist. If you cannot resist the spores invading the body, then the subsequent spores will control the consciousness and spirit. The lower the intelligence, the harder it will be to break free.
Of course, the intelligence cannot be too low. If it is too low, you may not even be able to understand the commands emitted by the spores. If it is something without brains and flesh and blood, such as elemental creatures, constructs, undead creatures, etc.,
The mind-confused spores will have no effect."
"Four or five months is not too short," Xuan Weizi said.
"Doctor Oranso, are you worried that these goblins will cause trouble in the future?" Isai took the opportunity to ask.
Xuan Weizi said: "I'm not afraid myself, but I can't let them run wild."
"Actually... it's impossible to use confusing spores to control such a large number of monsters. It's impossible to give too precise orders, and goblins and ogres can't understand them." Isai said: "And from what I see, these goblins don't seem to be complete.
It’s under the influence of the enchantment control psychic energy.”
"go on."
Isai raised his chin slightly to indicate that in the distance Akuma Matata was like a band conductor, waving a deep crystal scepter taller than himself, actually calling thousands of goblins and ogres to sing, the lyrics
It was actually a tribute to "Holy Saint Oranso". Although the wailing was no different from the howling of ghosts and wolves, this state was already very different from ordinary goblins who were extremely selfish and had no discipline at all.
"I have observed their daily routine and daily interactions. It seems that headed by Akuma Matata, a church group has gradually formed within the snow goblin tribe. Naturally, they have worshiped you, Doctor Olanso, as this church.
God." Isai said like a scholar:
"And this concept, along with psychic powers and deep crystal radiation effects, is gradually imprinted on the snow goblin tribe. Even the newly born snow goblin cubs will naturally convert to this concept after they have a rough cognitive ability.
...Uh, the Church of Santo Oranso.”
Xuan Weizi understood what Isai meant: "You mean, because of the control of psychic powers, the goblins who were originally extremely selfish, greedy, chaotic and violent developed group thinking, and even developed beliefs out of thin air? Thus, the ability to
An organizational form of common response?”
Yi Sai didn't expect Xuan Weizi to raise the topic to such a level all of a sudden, so he could only hesitate and respond: "Uh, this, probably... that's it."
Xuan Weizi was silent for a long time. He originally taught the "Five Laws of Punishments" just to verify the interaction between the spirit and body of creatures like goblins. He did not expect such an unexpected change.
It is true that from the perspective of species evolution, when a creature develops to have beliefs and worship, cognitive abilities and social categories that break through the boundaries of blood relatives and form a larger consensus group, it often moves towards building an organization with the same ideology.
direction.
You must know that the emergence of such things as belief and worship in the mind is itself a huge leap for intelligent life from ignorance to clarity. This allows intelligent life to build an organization with value identity as the core, allowing large-scale groups to collaborate and establish
Civilization becomes possible.
The more important point of the emergence of faith and worship is that it creates "concepts", or in other words, allows the species' mental thinking to form an understanding of "concepts".
There is no doubt that in this world, the progress of mental thinking is closely related to the quality of "intelligence", and it is also a manifestation of the growth of the soul. Therefore, the spellcasting ability that relies on the quality of the soul or intelligence will also be improved accordingly.
Generally speaking, if a psychic wants to discover or demonstrate psychic powers, he also needs to surpass the level of ordinary people's intelligence, because retracing one's own memories and analyzing personality profiles still require careful thinking and deduction.
It's just that Xuan Weizi himself is slightly different. He cultivates alchemy and observes the body and mind internally. He uses internal and external communication with Shenqi to control the soul and soul to become the Yang Shen. It is said that his perception quality should be stronger. It's just that the pure Yang Yuanshen has a vast connotation.
, the incarnation of Wuwu analyzed his own nature, and occupied the physical furnace of the psychic warlock, so the corresponding spell-casting ability was just a psychic power.
However, if the body and mind are adjusted according to the alchemy method, the path of dual cultivation of life and life starts from scratch, and still focuses on the training and exploration of sensory qualities. It is not a pure path of a psychic. Xuan Weizi really cannot make others become a psychic like himself.
.
Even if Akuma Matata is now considered a qualified telepath, his situation is difficult to replicate because the prerequisites are too onerous and it is still a special case of "the poor rely on mutation".
But the main problem now is how to deal with these two thousand big and small monsters. Akuma Matata inadvertently formed a rough church organization, which is much easier to deal with. Who told this snow goblin wizard to praise Xuan Weizi?
Became the most holy god?
"Okay, be patient for a moment." Xuan Weizi waved his hand casually, moving the Star Outline Altar, and his psychic powers turned into silver waves sweeping across the dry valley, making monsters big and small immediately bow their heads and tremble. At the same time, he also paid tribute to Akuma Ma.
Tata shows true strength.
Although this little thing often flatters Xuan Weizi, the instincts and habits of the race cannot be overcome. Sometimes as the intelligence increases, it will give rise to all kinds of cunning, pretentiousness, and disguise the real conspiracy in a humble manner.
picture.
Even if Akuma Matata does not have any rebellious intentions at the moment, the fact that he now rules so many monsters has more or less fueled the arrogance and arrogance in his heart. As the saying goes, "With a sharp blade in hand, a murderous intention arises."
Xuan Weizi's move was a necessary deterrent, allowing these monsters to understand who their real master was - although Xuan Weizi had no interest in ruling a bunch of stinky monsters.
"Master Olanso, the supreme and holy man with boundless divine power, I wonder what your instructions are?" Akuma Matata said hurriedly.
"Going west from here, how many monsters are there in the mountains? How many mineral deposits are there?" Xuan Weizi asked.
Akuma Matata's face was startled, and he shook his head and said: "Please forgive the boundless, supreme and holy Lord Olanso. The humble Akuma Matata can't even count him. Maybe many little brats will break his fingers."
."
Nearly a hundred miles southwest of Chaidui Town, the land gradually becomes barren and turns into an arid land where only low shrubs and grass can grow. The terrain is undulating and rugged. Although there are some woodlands near the foothills, they are basically deserted.
In addition to the presence of various wild beasts, the wilderness is also an environment where basilisks, cockatrices and goblins are entrenched.
"Then you go and explore." Xuan Weizi said: "If you can find mineral deposits and resources, you will be responsible for digging and mining them, and then transport them to Chaidui Town to exchange for various food supplies."
Rather than spending a lot of manpower to open up areas that are even more remote than the frontiers of civilization, it is better to let these monsters that are more adapted to the barren environment explore. In fact, there are many goblins there, but they are basically in uncivilized scattered settlements. At the moment, there are Ah
Under the leadership of Kumar Matata, there may be some kind of change.
The snow goblin wizard nodded repeatedly: "I obey the order, I will let these little cubs set off now!"
"Wait a minute." Xuan Weizi opened his hand and said, "Give me your scepter."
Akuma Matata respectfully presented the Deep Crystal Scepter, which was a magical magical object that Xuan Weizi tried to make when he discovered the Deep Crystal veins. However, he was not satisfied with the finished product, so he casually gave it to Xue
Goblin wizard.
The deep crystal material is naturally compatible with psychic abilities, and it can also be used as a spiritual face to store spiritual energy, but only psykers can store spiritual energy in the spiritual face. And Xuan Weizi wants to make a new attempt, that is, to try to use the ability to store spiritual energy.
Whether to convert the believer's will into additional spiritual power.
Xuan Weizi himself is not planning to step into the Shinto. This move is still to confirm the form in which the spiritual power of this world will be projected and operated. The Son of Holy Scale gathered the totem giants and tried to create a real Ouroboros Serpent
, gave Xuan Weizi a lot of inspiration.
Xuan Weizi left a divine mind mark in the deep crystal. Generally, the divine mind mark can only be passed on to other creatures with sanity. However, after passing through the vacuum tribulation, the divine mind mark can be upgraded to the mind of controlling gods.
It is condensed with the lifeless external objects. It even spreads the thoughts of controlling the gods throughout the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers. It can be said that the entire Xinggang Dharma Altar is a large-scale and highly complex thought of controlling the gods. Xuan Weizi will
The physical and mental structure of the self is projected outward.
This time, the thought of controlling the gods left in the deep crystal scepter itself has no clear content. It is better to say that it forms a container that carries the power of the wish.
During the Battle of Huowu City, Xuan Weizi accidentally sensed the sincere wish coming from the expectation of all beings in the city. At that time, he did not take the initiative to let his soul absorb this wish, but he discovered that psychic powers can be used to try and cooperate with the wish of faith.
Force produces some kind of communication.
In fact, during the war in Chaidui Town, Xuan Weizi was able to sense the prayers from everyone in Chaidui Town. The target of the wish was both clear and vague. The reason for the clarity was that the target of the wish was directed towards Austria.
Doctor Lanso, the ambiguity lies in the fact that after all, it is just the name and appearance of Xuan Weizi walking in this outer world.
As someone who pursues the attainment of the Immortal Way, Xuan Weizi inevitably has a grudge against the attainment of the Divine Way. However, he is vaguely aware that this may be related to the destiny of heaven and earth, so he chooses another way to accept the power of the wish in a casual way.
The thought of controlling the gods was deeply ingrained into the scepter. Xuan Weizi returned it to the snow goblin wizard and said: "From now on, this thing will represent the blessings and punishments I have sent down. If you are confused, don't worry.
Come to Chaidui Town to pay homage in person, bow to this staff and chant seven times the Holy Name!"
