Noble Emblem

Hearing the soldiers' words, Liang Lidong fell into deep thought. Such a large-scale hypnotic magic must have extremely exaggerated magic power fluctuations, and it would also be accompanied by quite eye-catching magic effects. However, these soldiers said that they fell asleep without seeing anything unusual. , there is something weird about this matter.

In this case, the effect is not caused by pure magic. Could it be poisoning? This is unlikely, not to mention that there is no toxin that can make so many people fall asleep at the same time, and even if there is, wouldn't it be better to switch to a directly fatal poison? Liang Lidong narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at the silver crescent moon in the night sky. After eliminating these two possibilities, there was only one reason left.

The law of cause and effect!

In the game, the Law of Cause and Effect is known as the strongest non-magical, non-divine skill. There are very few people who can master the law of cause and effect. Even among the players, the number of people who have mastered the law of cause and effect is less than a hundred. If it is the law of cause and effect, it can explain why these soldiers can suddenly fall asleep without the ability to resist. This also explains why the other party did not send enough people to clear the area immediately after hypnotizing all the soldiers. They only sent two assassins to slit the throats of more than a hundred Royal Infantry Regiment.

The law of cause and effect is not a magic skill, nor is it a divine art, but it is known as a divine art among divine arts, because only strong and devout believers can learn this extremely domineering ability.

This skill requires setting a cause and result in advance. Then use powerful mental power to manifest the process. As long as the process is perfect, the result will definitely appear. For example, an archbishop who has mastered the law of cause and effect sets the cause for his enemy as "falling into a deep river" and the result is "drowning", then he only needs to imagine in his mind that the enemy falls into the water. How to struggle, how to scream... The more realistic the picture in your mind, the better, and the higher the chance of success of the law of cause and effect. And once it is perfectly imagined, no matter where the enemy is, even if he is in the desert, he will die directly, and the death will definitely be drowning, even if there is not a drop of water around him.

Of course, the more powerful the ability, the higher the requirements... The law of cause and effect requires strong mental support. After all, relying on 'imagination' to create reality is a miracle in itself. The second is that the willpower of the person being imagined cannot Too strong, because strong willpower will interfere with all bad luck directed at oneself. It can be said that people with strong willpower, even if their luck is not excellent, will definitely not be bad.

The essence of negative causality is a kind of powerful bad luck.

The city lord's wife walked over from the side. She looked at Liang Lidong's gainful expression and asked, "What's wrong? You seem to have thought of some clue?"

"Indeed!" Liang Lidong sighed: "We have encountered a very powerful enemy. If my guess is not wrong, do you and your wife always feel that you are being watched and do some strange things recently? Weird nightmares, like being drowned in water, being burned, etc.!"

The city lord's wife widened her charming eyes and said, "How do you know? We have indeed had frequent nightmares recently. Sometimes when we wake up, the feeling of being flooded or burned seems to be real. The same."

"This is the law of cause and effect, Mark is dealing with you."

"The law of cause and effect?"

In the game, not many NPCs know the law of cause and effect, but players are different. Many casual players like to dig into the background of the game. From their perspective, the game "France Continent" is almost a real world, with all the equipment. Objects have provenance, and all characters can trace their origins. Under the tireless exploration of this group of players, many hidden events, special abilities, and items in the game were discovered by them, and then shared through online sections such as forums.

The law of cause and effect is one of the special abilities discovered by casual players in this situation.

The city lord's wife didn't know what the law of cause and effect was. Liang Lidong tried his best to explain the function of this ability in an easy-to-understand manner. At this time, the city lord's wife's face became extremely gloomy. For a physics profession, the methods of spellcasters were already 'dirty' and 'disgusting', but she did not expect that there was an ability in this world that could be so domineering.

"Don't worry too much." Liang Lidong comforted him: "I think Mark has used the law of cause and effect on you several times, but without success. This shows that your willpower can interfere with him. As long as you continue to become stronger, then Never affected by the law of cause and effect.”

The city lord's wife breathed a sigh of relief. On the surface, Liang Lidong looked indifferent, but actually he was sighing in his heart. Mark is a priest. Generally speaking, willpower is the main growth attribute of a priest. Mark can understand the law of cause and effect at level 10, which proves that he is not only favored by Ms. Rose, but also a genius. Now Mark has no way to use the law of cause and effect to influence the city lord and his wife. That is because Mark may not have been able to comprehend the law of cause and effect for a long time, and the city lord and his wife are professionals, so the law of cause and effect has little effect on them for the time being. But as Mark's strength and level gradually increase, His willpower will become stronger and stronger, and because the city lord and his wife are physics professionals, their willpower will not grow very high. In this way, the gap in willpower will become wider and wider... One day, Mark can use the law of cause and effect to make no noise. The city lord and his wife died in Wuxi Yin, and this day will not last long. Liang Lidong estimates that it will be within ten years.

But soon the face of the city owner's wife became ugly again: "Mark can hypnotize our soldiers once, and he can hypnotize us a second time. What if he does it again."

"The conditions for activating the Law of Negative Causality are very harsh. I think it will be difficult for him to activate it a second time within a month." Liang Lidong said: "And I guess he is not sure whether his Law of Causality can succeed, so he only sent two The assassin came over, and if he succeeded, let them kill those royal infantrymen, and he made the right bet, but unfortunately he didn't bet big, if he sent all his forces here at once, then we would be in danger."

As the night got deeper and deeper, the city lord's wife exhaled a burst of white mist and said, "Then how can we prevent the power of the law of cause and effect?"

"Gold is a very good magic-resistant material. From now on, the defense force will be divided into two groups, one group will be on duty normally, and the other group will stay in the mine. Not only the magic elements, but also mental power and willpower will find it difficult to penetrate the gold layer. "

The city owner's wife said: "The mine tunnel must be dug wider... Sir Beta, please send me back to the castle. I thought that the energy of the Temple of Life was only a little stronger than us, but now it seems that we The estimate was seriously wrong."

"Okay!" Liang Lidong nodded.

After the city lord's wife explained some precautions to the middle-aged housekeeper, she quickly returned with more than 60 cavalry. Because she was in a hurry, her horse moved very fast. Liang Lidong crept behind her. Due to the bumps, Joan of Arc in his arms woke up. The first words the bird said when he opened his eyes were: "It's morning." ?Can we have breakfast?"

The city lord's wife at the front couldn't help but smile, and her mood finally felt better.

Originally, Winterwind City was not allowed to open its gates after nightfall, but the entire city belonged to the Longman family, so they traveled smoothly along the way. Within an hour, they returned to the castle.

The two rushed to the study on the second floor. The city lord was at his desk giving instructions on city affairs. When he saw the two of them, he raised his head and was stunned: "Sophia, your face looks ugly. What happened?"

Liang Lidong found a chair and sat down, while the city lord's wife began to tell the story in full. When she heard that all members of the royal infantry regiment had died, the city lord broke the charcoal in his hand, and heard no more After talking about the law of cause and effect, he was silent for a while, then rolled up his sleeves and showed a red spot under his arm to the two of them: "Twenty days ago at night, I dreamed that I was surrounded by fire. When I woke up the next day, I discovered this wound, which was just a piece of burned skin. At that time, I thought someone had placed a vicious curse on me, but I didn’t expect it to be the law of cause and effect.”

The city lord's wife rushed over, gently touched her husband's wound, and asked sadly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"It's useless to say it. We don't know what's going on at all, but it will make you worry." The city lord patted his wife on the shoulder, and then his eyes became sharp: "It seems that we can no longer If this tepid stalemate continues, we must find an opportunity to counterattack, and we must kill Mark, otherwise we will not have a good life."

Liang Lidong said from the side: "But the problem is that we are already at a disadvantage, and now the death of Clement's direct line will be blamed on you, which is obviously adding insult to injury."

"The fat envoy will return tomorrow, and he won't care where Clement's direct descendants have gone!" The city lord's face suddenly turned sinister.

Liang Lidong thought for a while and immediately understood the city lord's intention. The latter planned to force the fat envoy to leave the city tomorrow, then find an opportunity to kill him, and then abandon his body in the wilderness. Anyway, the sky is high here and the emperor is far away. Even if the emperor accuses the special envoy, as long as the city lord refuses to admit it, the royal family has nothing to do with him. Clement will probably guess that he killed Robin, but without evidence, Clement The hostilities of the Te family will not be too intense. And even if the city lord doesn't kill the fat envoy, the people from the Temple of Life will kill him just to blame the Langman family.

All in all, the Fat Envoy is definitely dead. It suddenly seemed that the fat envoy was very pitiful, but in fact this was the end he had brought upon himself. If he and Robin were greedy for the gold mines in Winterwind City and were willing to be exploited, otherwise such a thing would not have been discovered at all, Luo Ben-Clement might not die.

"If we want to deal with Mark, we must take the path of assassination. Our strength alone is not enough. I suggest that the Killer Guild be invited in to help."
