Carlos remembered that Ian once talked with him about psychic powers and 'divine magic'.

Some time ago, the Xiahui leader relied on the giant of light to defeat the demon death knell of the demon army, and initially showed its fame around the world. Carlos originally wanted to help and see if he could help Ian resume production in Nanling quickly, but as they were chatting, he was taught a meditation method by the other party.

As a royal ascendant, Carlos has actually practiced many meditation methods since he was a child. Some of them can also affect the soul structure, making people possess various supernatural powers, making their perceptions more acute, or controlling the corresponding source of matter more quickly, etc. .

However, the meditation method of the Silver Peak Leader is different - it transforms the soul more thoroughly and has more magical powers.

Whether it is enhanced computing power, increased perception, or improved accuracy in controlling the essence, each of these is a necessary function for the sublimator.

The meditation method Carlos obtained is even more special. It can transform a person's soul into a similar frequency. If they are not far apart, they can even communicate directly through thought fluctuations without any words.

"Why did you give me this meditation method?"

Carlos asked Ian strangely at that time, and Ian's answer was simple: "Because you need it."

"We are allies, aren't we? Apart from myself, you are the person who has the deepest research on psychic powers among the people I know."

This is indeed the case - with his research in psychic energy, Carlos quickly figured out the principles of this seemingly simple 'spiritual communication meditation method', and transformed it into a further step that can communicate with himself. Psychic resonance meditation.

"Have you already guessed the nature of my psychic powers?"

At this time, how could Carlos still not know that Ian already fully understood the nature of his psychic powers, so he gave him this set of meditation methods to suit him?

With the joy of meeting his 'soulmate', Carlos chatted with Ian about topics related to his psychic abilities.

Carlos's awakening of this spiritual power originated from the confusion he felt when he was young.

At that time, the empire was still in the aftermath of the Dark Moon turmoil. Even though the defenders had generally suppressed the various turbulent nobles, the imperial capital still seemed a little empty at times.

Regardless of whether it is a government order or an instruction, it is difficult to achieve its due effect once it is issued. As the eldest son, Carlos often travels to various places as an envoy of the imperial capital.

The nobles from all over the world naturally treated Carlos with great respect on the surface, but in fact there were many problems in their implementation. They either added fuel to the fire, or were short-sighted. They either deliberately over-executed to arouse public resentment, or they just talked about how there was no one. Really go to work.

There is no way to solve this kind of secret confrontation that can only be solved by "talking the talk". It must be solved by a ruthless killer.

But is killing someone as simple as you think? In the final analysis, the imperial nobles still follow the name of the empire, but privately, it is natural that they have the power and their own ideas. It is normal to not believe in the successors of the empire who have not been famous in the past like Axel and Carlos. .

They weren't really traitors, they just didn't want to believe Carlos.

As for those who were favored by Carlos, the new generation of new nobles supported by the empire were too weak. There were very few third-level nobles among them, and only one or two fourth-level nobles did not have the background of other great nobles. , even without etheric weapons, it can only guard a few key points, and it is difficult to exert the normal fourth energy level's role of suppressing a place.

His father's expectations could not be fulfilled, the empire's cause was difficult to make progress, the local distrust and confusion made people angry and hesitant, and the prying eyes of the surrounding evil neighbors made it difficult to breathe.

Trapped in this feeling of being unable to use it, as if he was drowning in the sea, Carlos awakened to his psychic powers.

He wants everyone to support him, and he also wants to help those who support him.

So, he awakened his psychic powers.

"With a strong desire to accomplish something, I can transfer my power to any of my 'companions'."

Carlos told Ian about the nature of his psychic powers at that time: "Similarly, my companions can also transmit their power to me - there is an upper limit to such transmission, and the upper limit is the belief in one's 'dream'."

"The more eager, the more determined, and the more wholeheartedly someone walks on the path of their dreams, the more they can withstand the transmission of power from others."

In a sense, it can represent the essence of this spiritual power.

This so-called Tao is the path chosen by people themselves. The more people have their own beliefs, the more assistance they can get from the power of others.

"I think the meditation method you gave me can allow more people to transmit power to me."

At that time, Carlos initially revealed his ambition to Ian: "Based on my years of planning, as long as the time is right, maybe I can temporarily possess the power of the fifth level without any top blood."

"What Split Solin can do, I can do the same!"

Obviously, he was inspired by the example of Archduke Thorin forcibly climbing to the fifth level with the power of tens of millions of souls in the principality.

Although he would not kill tens of millions of people just for his own sake, he has so many companions and the fifth-level power he exerts at critical moments is enough to turn the situation around.

But at that time, Ian came up with a different idea.

"Your Highness, your spiritual energy can transmit power to each other. In a sense, it can transcend time and space and bring the power of many people into one. From this point of view, there are indeed similarities with the giant of light in my territory."

"But Your Highness, your spiritual power is obviously stronger than that of the Giant of Light, because the Giant of Light is essentially a god statue that can only exert its 'power' by gathering 'enshrinements'. He can only provide pure violence."

"Violence can indeed solve many problems, or even all problems - but many times, violence is not the optimal solution...Wisdom, skills, and experience are more useful in more cases, but they are not general enough. use."

"For example, Your Highness, one of your companions has a problem in alchemy and doesn't know how to solve it. Although you can improve his power to make his thinking more agile and his manipulation more subtle, the real best solution should be you. Find the book corresponding to your companion's question from your memory or from the Royal Library, and then tell him the answer or the solution."

"This is the real way to solve his problem - simpler and deeper into the source, which is the right way."

The Giant of Light cannot do such a thing, it is the embodiment of Adebert's lofty guardianship concept, but Carlos's dream psychic power can.

Worshiping gods may only require faith and strength.

But to achieve your dream, what is needed is not complete and pure violence.

But wisdom, skill, guidance on the road and help from all kinds of others.

These elements, combined with the guarantee of violence...

This is what really makes dreams come true.

After being answered like this, Carlos fell into deep thought.

He did realize that there were some problems with the way he used his psychic powers. After all, the dilemma he had caused him to awaken his psychic powers had long since disappeared. Axel and he had subdued all the imperial nobles bit by bit with their strength. He He has forgotten his 'original intention' and even just uses his psychic powers as more useful spy powers.

But now that I think about it... its potential is much more than that.

Taking the meditation method given by Ian as the source and relying on previous accumulation, Carlos quickly developed a brand new meditation method.

Achieve a spiritual resonance with a similar soul structure. It is not based on a certain person's soul, but based on a convention consensus.

As long as this convention and consensus is adhered to, people who practice the same meditation method can communicate with each other within a short distance and perceive each other's emotions and superficial thoughts. Neither party can lie to the other, so they can be honest with each other and achieve win-win cooperation from the heart.

The convention that Carlos chose was naturally still a ‘dream’.

By now, Carlos has understood that he went astray.

At the beginning, he was unified by all, and he became an entity where the power of many companions resided. He would also pass the power to others at critical moments - it was nothing more than an online power storage server.

But now, it has become a peer-to-peer (P2P) platform.

Many difficulties cannot be solved by pure strength. Appropriate intelligence, experience and technology can help people get out of trouble better than pure brute force.

Just like some time ago, a knight under Carlos encountered trouble in Yanjiang. Now he is trapped in the depths of the eternally frozen ice field, surrounded by ice beasts and cursed ghosts.

Even with Carlos's full help, limited by the knight's 'confidence limit', he couldn't help him escape.

But with the help of the new platform, Carlos directly found an ice sheet survival expert from Far Sword Port - although one was from the Far North ice sheet and the other was from the Antarctic ice sheet, many of the principles were in common.

Half of the transmission quota was not used up, and the knight escaped.

"The 'convention consensus' is the 'clergy', and the 'power and experience' passed on to each other is the 'divine grace'..."

At this moment, Carlos understood why Ian wanted to help him in this regard: "This guy is the successor of Archduke Thorin's technology. He definitely got Archduke Thorin's consensus algorithm technology from the Avak Territory. , but he himself is not willing to become the dead king. He is limited by the 'platform' and does not know how to use it."

"So, provide this technology to me, and after I develop it, ask me about the skills related to the 'Platform' - can I still not give it to him? He easily obtained two top psychic technologies. This Boy, what a good plan!"

Although he laughed, Carlos didn't mind Ian's little calculation.

Yes, the benefit to Ian was great, but wasn’t the benefit to him great?

The path that can be called a god is unfolding for him, and with such a platform, whether he gathers the power of everyone to become the fifth level in the future, or hides himself as a god behind the scenes of the virtual realm, it will be a path that satisfies him path of.

"Contact Ian."

Thinking of this, Carlos stood up and prepared to dedicate part of his mind and body to go to Silver Peak to communicate with Ian, show off his recent achievements, and share his skills by the way.

Of course, as a courtesy, he would communicate with Ian as a reminder before sending out the Heart Light Body - the other party made it clear last time that he didn't like the way the Sun Bird came to visit in a second and had no sense of distance. With the respect of his allies, he will certainly not do anything to make the other party unhappy.

But when Carlos used his psychic ability to contact Ian, he got a "communication busy" reply, which made the eldest prince frown.

how? What a coincidence that Ian is now in psychic contact with other people?

who is it?

The answer is of course Carlos’s brother, the second prince Mikael!

Ian, who hid his identity and was communicating with Mikael as an 'unknown mysterious person', without hesitation told all the information about the 'perpetual motion machine' to this man who was deeply hidden in the future. The prince who will confront Axel directly.

"What?!"

Being directly fed a lot of information that he had never heard of before and that was unimaginable, Mikael was not so much surprised at this time as he was extremely shocked.

Although he knew that this 'mysterious man' knew a lot about him and the secrets of the Terra world, he never thought that the other person's understanding would reach this level.

Perpetual motion machine?

Indeed, the original cause of the Skyfall, the existence of the True Dragon Creator, was well known to the top leaders of all countries in Terra, and many of the advanced technologies on Terra did come from the fire of that era or the relics of the Skyfall.

Mikael knew all of this, not to mention that he had also secretly taken risks, obtained many secrets about the true dragon and the creator, and obtained the blood of his own throne in the distant ether.

Mikael did not feel surprised that the mysterious man knew this. No matter how quietly he did it, he would eventually be caught by the prophet or other psychics.

But he never imagined that what his father and grandfather secretly planned back then was to obtain a heavenly relic of the level of a 'perpetual motion machine'!

And this extremely confidential information was actually known to that mysterious person!

"Once this news is released, the empire that already has the authority of the Dragon of Terra will become the focus of all forces on the mainland!"

At this moment, Mikael also understood why the mysterious man wanted to tell him about the permissions of the perpetual motion machine. His face was heavy and gloomy: "This guy wants me to tell him about the permissions of the 'perpetual motion machine' when I go against my father in the future. The truth about the incident made my father's mind turbulent - whether it was brainwashing or murder, whether it was washing the ground with the Beast of Thousand Stars or... hum, that's it!"

He couldn't help but laugh. Mikael took a deep breath at this moment to calm down: "This is why my father is single-mindedly determined to unify the national trend of thought. However, that mysterious man seems to know everything, but he does not know his father's true purpose."

"If my father can achieve that goal, the perpetual motion machine will actually be insignificant. Anyway, in today's world, even if there is a perpetual motion machine, it is just a toy of the strong. If someone uses the wrong method to unify the world, he will completely You can wait more than a hundred years before starting the perpetual motion machine, or you can wait for future generations to start it."

"No matter what the source is, as long as the world is prosperous in the future, there should be no problem."

"I don't know who this mysterious person is..."

After calming down, Mikael closed his eyes and meditated.

He quickly settled on a candidate in his mind: "Sure enough, it's you, Mahdi... Grandfather and the successor of the First Knight, only you will know the secrets that only our Setar royal family knows, and only you. Only through the relationship between the dragon and the holy mountain can we connect many secret clues from previous era civilizations and find clues to the perpetual motion machine!"

"Only you can have such complicated emotions towards the empire. You won't spread the news widely and let other countries besiege the empire, but you will also secretly incite me to fight against my father and weaken the empire... Your purpose is to prepare and wait. When my father and I were both at a loss, we tried to seize authority, obtain the perpetual motion machine, and then unify the continent of Terra!"

"And Ian was your backing at that time, setting out to separate the empire from the southern border of the empire... Yes, now Ian's reputation in Nanling is at its peak. If something unexpected happens to the empire, no one will object to Ian's unification of Nanling. The power is essentially divided!"

"What a plan! In fact, it may even be the secret hand left by my grandfather, Inaga II! You are his true successors, and my father and I are just supporting his 'bloodline', But there is no descendant who will inherit his 'dream'!"

It has to be said that Mikael is indeed a truly smart man. He did perfectly guess Ian's purpose and even guessed some of Inaga II's plans - of course, it was a bit exaggerated and exceeded, but he Indeed, Ian's vest was almost completely uncovered and all the truth was revealed.

But this was Ian's purpose.

as well as……

Ian also knows what kind of actions the other party's character will make him take.

"It's also a good thing. At least someone will clean up the mess."

Mikael opened his eyes, his expression calmed down: "No matter what, I have to stop my father from continuing to make mistakes."

"Because the world he desires... is never allowed to appear, a heaven-like hell."

At this time, all the kingdoms of Terra were in a state of turmoil due to the turmoil in the capital of learning, and were silent due to the arcane path.

Mahdi is receiving shelter from the Huaiguang Church on the Holy Mountain.

Although some people did secretly threaten or request extradition, Huaiguang Church has never relented in this regard. Its calm posture is almost a kind of intimidation, causing all forces with ulterior motives to retreat and leave, not daring to use their minions. Explore the realm of the Holy Mountain.

Ian, who leads the Silver Peak, is also thriving. He studies in depth many areas of the arcane path, analyzes the mysteries of Dou Qi and Ether, and accumulates his own unique heritage.

Therefore, even if the Atlan breeding ground was attacked and the dragon's phantom appeared, it did not cause too much trouble among the countries of Terra today. It was just regarded as another manifestation of the power of the ancient true dragon, and Another conflict between the Empire and the Far Islands.

Therefore, no one knows...

A glazed dragon followed closely behind Far Coast Island's fleet, crossed the Quiet Sea, and followed it all the way to the mainland of Far Coast Island.

Ian's presence is everywhere.
