You are all my wings!

"To resolve the issue of your being mind-controlled, we must find the weakness in your mind."

Lyon said:

"It's normal that you've been deceived and forgotten your own mental vulnerabilities. You still have a chance to break free. The solution is simple: you need to find an aid that allows you to recall all your memories from childhood to adulthood."

"Auxiliary items? Soul-type treasures?"

Bai Shaqilai frowned slightly.

"If it were an ordinary sixth or fifth rank, perhaps such a secret treasure would be needed to break free, but your strength is sufficient, and you yourself possess extremely strong power to break free. What you need is a direction, some clues that can help you recall the past. And the so-called auxiliary items are things that carry your memories, such as the magic wand you used in the past, the clothing and accessories you used when you were at a lower rank, the relics from your parents, and so on."

Lyon said slowly.

Bai Shaqilai frowned: "Is this all you need?"

"Yes, but it must be something that carries enough memories to allow you to recall everything from the past. If one isn't enough, find a few more. Through the accumulation of these things, you will slowly remember what the flaw in your mind that has been blinded is."

Lyon took another bite of the legendary monster's flesh; it was really hard to chew.

It's fortunate that his strength has increased again, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to bite it.

Looking at Iris, who was struggling to chew, Leon decided to wait until Baisaqilai left before chewing it up himself and feeding it to Iris, hehe.

"If I find a weakness in someone's mind, I can break free from the deception?"

"Yes, the method is that simple. All you need is someone who can enlighten you. However, no one but me can be that person."

Camille's personal side quest "Resurrecting Zekti" is 5% complete, currently at 10% completion.

Judging from the information on the panel, Bai Shaqilai should have faith in herself now.

Leon nodded secretly. Good, he had successfully fooled another one.

I just don't know if Bai Shaqilai has come to believe that she is a miracle astrologer.

The information he provided was certainly true, after all, he also wanted to complete these tasks to learn divination, and from the perspective of the situation, it would be more advantageous for Bai Shaqilai to break free from mind control.

Huh? At this moment, Leon felt that the 5 points of magic power increasing in his body seemed to be uncontrolled by the magic-blocking array, and were being mobilized very quickly.

Could it be that I was actually mistaken?

Isn't this place a magic-banning area?

What kind of magic-sealing artifact did Bai Shaqilai use to seal her original magic power so that it could not be released?

But the magic of new growth is not limited?

So, is it possible for Bai Shaqilai to control magic so freely?

Lyon almost burst out laughing. In other words, if he could accumulate more magic power, wouldn't he be able to activate the materialization of his shadow and break free from this cage?

In fact, even without more, the current 5 points of magic are enough to unleash a powerful attack.

However, Lyon certainly wouldn't act immediately.

If we're going to evacuate, we'll have to wait until the place is temporarily unguarded.

To avoid being targeted by legendary and epic players as soon as you go out, which would be a waste of your trump card.

"So, what about your accompanying intelligence?"

Bai Shaqilai asked.

Leon coughed lightly and said:

"A truly sound method of nation-building is not to conquer other nations, but to reclaim wastelands, especially to reclaim unclaimed wilderness where demons gather. The achievements gained in this way are not only those of governing a nation, but also three great achievements: suppressing demons, expanding territory, and building civilization. The benefits of this are far greater than those of actively planning and instigating wars."

"Just this?"

Bai Shaqilai frowned; of course she knew about this.

The question is, does she not want to pioneer and build a nation? Of course, it's because that's more difficult and harder to do.

After all, the entire continent is either occupied or has extremely dangerous, unclaimed lands that are not easy to expand.

In fact, as a legendary astrologer, she had naturally divined suitable locations for pioneering, but there were none.

No matter where you set foot on new land, war will inevitably break out.

Since war is inevitable, why not use this opportunity to orchestrate a conflict between the strongest human nation in the surrounding region and the fox-people?

Logically speaking, if this plan goes smoothly, she will have accumulated enough merit and her chess master profession will be able to reach legendary status.

But Leon told her that doing so would inevitably fail.

At first, she naturally didn't believe it, but after several conversations, she had begun to believe it somewhat.

However, isn't this method of pioneering a way of life a bit too expensive for the 80 pounds of legendary monster meat?

However, she did not get angry at this point and remained patient.

The reason was simple: the information Leon had provided gave her the patience to tolerate him.

"Of course it's not that simple."

Lyon smiled. He had now basically grasped the rhythm of chatting with Bai Shaqilai. While he wouldn't say he was a master at controlling her emotions, he was quite adept at it.

When talking to someone as determined as her, you must first make her disbelieve, then make her believe, and repeat this process. As her personal views are constantly reversed, she will become increasingly insecure when facing herself.

When her confidence in Leon gradually vanished, that was when she was completely won over by him.

"The first thing is the pioneering site."

Lyon said:

"I suppose you must have consulted the oracle before, only to find that there was no suitable place to establish a new nation, is that right?"

Bai Shaqilai nodded:

"Yes."

Lyon clicked his tongue and said, "You're wasting your professional abilities. Since you can already foresee some aspects of the future, why don't you foresee whether a suitable pioneering site will appear in the future, instead of only foreseeing the present?"

Bai Shaqilai smiled slightly: "How do you know I haven't divined whether a suitable pioneering and nation-building site will appear in the future?"

"No, no, your divination of the future is too vague and ethereal, and the focus is wrong. Moreover, you haven't tried a better method of divination. The method you used is too primitive and too dogmatic. Therefore, you can only divine a brief picture of the future, but you can't judge cause and effect and facts, so you mistakenly identify me as the culprit. You are completely wrong!"

Lyon made no attempt to hide his mockery:

"And if I were you, I certainly wouldn't use such a foolish method to start a war... Oh, back then you were already mind-controlled, and your legendary poems were corrupted by demons, so it's understandable that your level declined."

Instead of being angered by Leon's provocation, Bai Shaqilai seemed to be touched and stared intently at him:

"Then, please tell me what a better way to do divination is?"

[Villain Bai Shaqi Lai's favorability +2%, current favorability 27%]

This surprised Lyon.

She clearly didn't like being talked back to before.

Is it because I was mocking her field of expertise?

And she also vaguely felt that she was being outdone by herself in her professional field?

All Leon can say is that you're facing a master who has completed the four-part series multiple times and knows most of the side quests inside and out!

This information gap cannot be bridged by divination!

A thought flashed through his mind, and Leon said:

"Alright, since you're so sincere in asking for advice, I'll mercifully tell you what a better way to do divination is."

He stood up and gestured for Iris to calm down.

Then, approach Bai Shaqilai and examine this slender, pink-haired catwoman up close.

She was slightly taller than Iris, of average height, but with slender proportions and rounded, milky-white thighs.

Her facial features were like a human-like, clean-cut cat face, looking sinister but with a firm gaze and bright, translucent pinkish-purple pupils.

Her skin was milky white with a hint of pink and blood, and it had a very youthful texture, as delicate as white jade. It seems that she ascended to the legendary level at a very young age, but was subsequently stuck for over a hundred years.

Lyon now knows why he's stuck.

At this moment, Bai Shaqilai's patience was once again worn down by Leon's scrutiny, and she snorted:

"How much longer are you going to look? Does this have anything to do with better divination methods?"

"Of course, I am teaching you the essence of my divination through words and deeds. I am a miracle astrologer, and I am not someone that can be easily appointed to this position, understand?"

Lyon's words made him sound like a true mentor to Baisa Qilai, his tone extremely condescending.

Bai Shaqilai narrowed her eyes, a faint murderous aura emanating from her pair of jewel-like cat eyes.

Leon noticed her expression and knew that this provocation had reached its limit, so he smiled and said:

"Let me explain it simply. The divination technique you use is essentially about leveraging your own intelligence to access the endless information in the world and find the core intelligence you need, right?"

Bai Shaqilai: "Yes, and then?"

"Then let me ask you, when you used the original information for your divination, such as divining about me, did you secretly obtain items that I had used before? For example, the magic robe and magic sword that I exchanged at the Adventurers' Guild?"

"Yes."

"Then they collected my personal information and started the divination?"

"Yes."

"As expected, your method is just as I predicted, too ordinary."

Lyon shook his head and said:

"First of all, there are three types of divination. The most primitive one is to directly ask Heaven and Earth, or the world. What you get in the divination depends entirely on luck. This is the ancient, primitive practice. The second type is like yours, which appropriately increases the gathering of information about the person being divined and the borrowing of items from that person. The accuracy rate has improved, but this is obviously not enough."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shaqilai seemed to be deep in thought and said:

"So, yours is the third type? Did you obtain more detailed information before the divination? Or did you do something else?"

The basic operational approach to divination has remained the same throughout its progression from beginner to intermediate, advanced, king, and legendary levels.

The higher the level, the more detailed the information can be obtained through divination in an instant.

But the preliminary steps are all pretty much the same: gather information, acquire items, and start divination.

Bai Shaqilai's current skill level is that she can instantly see through a person's future destiny with just a little bit of information, combined with the fate-seeing blessing of the legendary poems, and even manipulate and tamper with the other person's destiny.

If that person is going to die in ten years, she can keep them alive.

If that person can live ten years from now, she can make sure that person dies.

Of course, something that can influence a person's fate over a decade is primarily aimed at ordinary people.

The stronger a person is, the more limited the scope of their influence and the more limited the future they can foresee.

"The most sophisticated astrology also uses information to divine, but the purpose of information is not to allow you to peek into the other person's fate, but to use it to pursue the future, to pursue the vast flow of time above fate, to seize more possibilities in the endless flow of time, and to gather endless possibilities in order to give birth to a unique miracle."

Lyon spoke slowly, as if in a trance.

Bai Shaqilai's eyes widened in shock.

Is this what is known as miracle divination?

Can divination transcend fate?

Intelligence isn't the key; the key is overcoming destiny.

But how can we overcome this hurdle?

Fate is a great river woven from the destinies of countless intelligent beings, and it is already very difficult for her to divination even a corner of it.

How can one overcome fate?

How could Leon Belon, who was clearly of a much lower rank than himself, possibly have accomplished this?

She fell into deep thought.

Lyon was not surprised by Baisaqilai's reaction.
