Chapter 210 Awakening, Talent

Lucian did not return to Lula's bedroom immediately, but sneaked into the shadow space and began to wander around quietly, also to check whether there were other players tracking him.

“Huh? The player who is the maid is still here?” Soon, when Lucian passed by the room where the servants lived in the manor, he noticed the maid he had marked before.

The latter was snoring at this time, and the player's real body seemed to have left with the help of the rules of the night.

"It seems that it is safe at least around here, otherwise this reckless player would not have survived until now." Lucian paused and hesitated for a moment, but gave up the idea of ​​killing this third-level wizard apprentice player.

However, while the player was leaving this identity, Lucian's mental power quietly penetrated into the body of the maid, and used mental power as a label to leave an obscure mark in her body.

Once the maid dies, Lucian can quickly sense it through this mark. In a sense, she has now become a "living" one-time early warning device set up by Lucian.

"I hope this early warning device I set up will work." After dealing with all this, Lucian left quickly and returned to Lula's bedroom.

“Awakening Stone.” After merging his true self with the identity of Lula, Lucian took out the gray stone from his space ring.

He stared at the awakening stone, but his eyes seemed a little hesitant.

"According to what I heard at the party, the requirement for 'acting' doesn't seem to be completely in line with the character setting, but rather to avoid having one's abnormality noticed by non-player characters. From this perspective, even if I let Lula become an 'awakener', as long as I don't expose myself, there won't be any problems. On the contrary, it can give me a trump card."

Lucian stared at the Awakening Stone, and finally, without hesitation, he pierced Lula's finger and dripped a drop of her blood into the gray Awakening Stone.

tick-

The blood dripped onto the Awakening Stone, causing the stone to soften at a speed visible to the naked eye. The stone even began to slowly wriggle, as if it had some characteristics of life.

Lucian did not hesitate and stretched out Lula's hand to touch the activated awakening stone. At the same time, he released his mental power and began to check the entire process of Lula's awakening.

"The body seems to be undergoing some kind of transformation? Well, it's more like it's looking for a point to merge with this body... This should also be related to the extraordinary abilities after awakening..."

Lucian could feel that after Lura's body merged with the Awakening Stone, some of the extraordinary powers hidden in his body began to become active.

Among them, there is the power to manipulate fire, the power to manipulate ice, and even a special talent that can manipulate extremely thin space and seem to be able to teleport...

"Unfortunately, these talents are not a good choice for me. After all, the risk of being exposed when using these talents is too high." Lucian muttered in his heart, while also manipulating his mental power to prevent the fusion of the internal power of the Awakening Stone and the extraordinary power displayed in Lula's body.

But when Lucian's mental power and the power of the awakening stone entangled with each other, they suddenly merged together.

“Huh?” Lucian was startled, and just as he was about to separate this power that was entangled with his mental power, he quickly stopped his actions, because after being contaminated by the breath of his mental power, the nature of the power contained in this awakening stone seemed to have changed.

Soon it separated from Lucian's mental power and began to rapidly transform Lula's body, and began to devour and transform the other extraordinary powers inside the body as food.

“It seems that… the Awakening Stone regards my mental power as some special source of awakening, and therefore has mastered some talent related to mental power?” Lucian guessed in his heart, but the awakening was not over at this time, so he did not know what kind of extraordinary talent Lula finally awakened as a result of his intervention.

But soon, the severe pain from Lula's head was transmitted to Lucian's body, making it impossible for him to maintain the state of fusion and separation with Lula. Instead, his consciousness was completely replaced by Lula's identity, and he felt the painful process of the power of the Awakening Stone transforming his mind.

"what……"

"Oh……"

At this moment, Lucian seemed to hear many people's voices in his mind. He couldn't hear them clearly, but those words made Lucian feel irritated and even painful.

These voices echoed in his mind, and seemed to burst his brain. Even with his full-fledged wizard's mental strength to resist, he felt a little powerless.

The consciousness seemed to be a small sailboat swaying in the stormy sea, which could capsize at any time in the waves that were taller than the boat. Lucian's consciousness gradually blurred, and everything in front of him became distorted...

"Ahhh..." He covered his head helplessly. However, this instinctive body protection could not relieve his current condition at all, and he could not help but roll around on the bed.

“Hold on… hold on… if the noise gets any louder, it will attract other people.” Lucian tried his best to stabilize his current state with his remaining sanity. At this moment, Lucian had almost no concept of time in his consciousness. He felt that time was so slow that it was almost stagnant.

An unknown amount of time had passed before the pain in Lucian's head finally eased. He hurriedly took out a tube of potion from his storage ring and drank it. Looking at the sky outside the window which was already slightly bright, Lucian breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s okay, it’s okay… I made it.” Lucian whispered, with a hint of fear in his tone.

Then, he closed his eyes and silently felt the extraordinary talent awakened by the identity of Lula. This was the power he had just gained in exchange for the tremendous pain he had endured!

"It's really a spiritual talent. I can even feel a natural witchcraft model forming in Lula's mind..." Lucian opened his eyes, his expression was neither smiling nor crying. "So, the pain I just felt was because this awakening stone forcibly engraved a witchcraft model in Lula's mind?"

"From the perspective of complexity, this witchcraft model is at least at the level of Level 2 witchcraft. However, if it is activated in the crude way of those awakened people in the dream world, it will definitely not be able to mobilize all the power within it..."

Lucian silently examined [Lura]'s natural talent, and he soon understood its exact effect.

This extraordinary talent can be called [Mind Reading]. Its ability is more auxiliary and can accurately perceive other people's true emotions and even their inner thoughts. However, the effect of this ability will vary depending on the user's strength.

For example, if one were to use the weak mental power within Lula's body to detect, he could only see other people's "emotions" at best.

If that person is good at acting or concealing his emotions, this kind of observation may even lead to misjudgment or failure to detect. If one wants to read other people's thoughts, one needs to look closely into their eyes, using the eyes as a medium to reduce the consumption of mental energy.

But if Lucian uses his own mental power to strengthen it, then this ability can be enhanced terribly.

As long as others are not deliberately concealing or have similar defensive measures, Lucian can use this talent of [mind reading] to quietly sense his true emotions and thoughts, and avoid them in advance or extract useful information.

"Perhaps for normal awakeners, this talent is a burden. After all, it has no ability to fight head-on. However, for players, it is simply a 'bug'-level talent..." Lucian couldn't help but smile.

With this ability, he will have a deeper grasp of some key plots in subsequent dreams, and he can even use this ability to become a "manipulator".

"Good morning, miss! It's time to get up!" Just as Lucian began to think about the purpose of his ability, the maid Mil had already walked into the bedroom and greeted him cheerfully.

“Hmm, there’s a little blue around her body. It seems that my maid hasn’t completely walked out of the previous shadow. It’s just that she is still trying her best to hide her true emotions in front of [Lula], and is still trying to heal Lula’s heart with warmth... What a good person!” Lucian sighed in his heart.

But he also understood that the characters in these dreams were just illusory bubbles. Perhaps they had prototypes, but at least everything that happened in this dream was formatted and were all illusory personalities.

"Good morning, Sister Mir." Although he was thinking that in his heart, Lucian still showed a sweet smile on his face.

At the same time, Lucian's mental power was quietly added to the talent he had just awakened. He wanted to use Mir as a guinea pig to try out how strong the effect of his talent was after being strengthened by mental power.

But when Lucian's mental strength was added to the [Mind Reading] talent, he suddenly felt a dark, malicious emotion.

This emotion is directed at myself and is not far from my body.

"Then... who is that?" Lucian didn't even bother to check Mir's inner state. After changing and washing, he hurried out to check the source of the malice.

But in his field of vision, he saw his father [Yanos] holding a cup of coffee-like drink. Noticing Lucian's or Lula's gaze, Yanos showed a gentle and kind smile on his face.
