The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 145 The Spiritual Body on the Top of the Tower
The big tree and vines were retracted from the picture, and she sat back quietly on the wicker chair.

When she realized it, Lin Nan felt a palpitation in her heart. In silence, for the first time, she felt a deterrent force she had never felt before.

Is this the power of a high-level wizard?
"Relax, that was just a test." The vines wrapped around Lin Nan slowly retreated, and the queen's voice continued, "It's just as they said. You are very perceptive. I haven't seen someone like you in hundreds of years."

Well, hundreds of years...

Lin Nan was stunned.

The Queen seemed to see the shock in her heart and continued, "The power of the Queen's spirit in this world is hereditary. When the new generation of heirs takes over, they will inherit all the memories and abilities of the previous Queen."

"Ever since the human world was invaded by pollutants, each generation of queens has shouldered the responsibility of both purification and inheritance. However, as the disparity in levels between sentinels grows wider and wider, talented children are becoming increasingly rare..."

Having said that, Lin Nan felt the queen behind the scenes sigh softly, and her blurred face, stained by the light, seemed to reveal a deep sense of regret.

But her power was too strong, and Lin Nan could not feel her true emotions.

Ever since she learned that she had the ability to sense other people's emotions, Lin Nan had relied on this ability in social situations. She would detect the emotions revealed by others to determine whether the person was telling the truth or a lie. To a certain extent, this ability not only reduced her mental fatigue, but also made communication more convenient and efficient.

But facing the queen, she felt like she had met a powerful opponent whose body was covered with iron walls. She was sitting there so weak and gentle, but there was not a single flaw. On the contrary, she had revealed all her weaknesses after the simple fight just now.

Her mental strength, her emotions, her secrets...there was no way to hide them from this person.

Lin Nan clenched his hands nervously, telling himself not to have any more thoughts——

"Relax, my lovely child..." The queen continued to soothe her gently, "Your spirit is transitioning from infancy to maturity. This evolution in level will be accompanied by some disturbances in your mental power. During this time, you will need the guidance of experienced seniors."

Lin Nan felt as if her consciousness was floating in a warm green ocean, and her tense nerves gradually relaxed unconsciously.

"I...what should I do?" she asked softly, with a hint of confusion in her voice.

"Bai Ta has applied for a separate S-level guide-assisted private lesson for you. She will help you develop your brain more quickly. During this time, you can study with her intensively. She will tell you the specific steps."

Lin Nan felt a little unbelievable. She didn't expect that Baita would actually arrange a teacher for her?!
S-level guides... there are only a dozen or so in the entire country.

"Excuse me, who is the teacher of that S-rank guide?"

"You'll find out in a moment. She'll be waiting for you in the reception room, and my maid will take you there. Also, the White Tower has specially granted you the independent use of Healing Pool No. 1. During your retreat, you can use it freely and without restrictions."

!

Lin Nan was shocked by this series of benefits that came out of nowhere.

It’s not enough that he has an S-level guide as a teacher, but now he also has the right to use the healing pool.

If she remembered correctly, there were only three such white towers by the pond, and many guides were vying for them. Now they had applied for one specifically for her?
"Thank you, thank you..." Lin Nan thanked him in disbelief.

"Thankfully, our tower has gained another excellent guide." The silhouetted queen clasped her hands together, offering her utmost gratitude. "A plant-based spiritual guide possesses the most gentle healing powers. I believe that once your roots are deeply embedded in the earth, you will rescue even more Sentinels from danger."

The Queen's voice continued to echo, her blurred features shimmering faintly beneath the silver threads. "Your Majesty, is your spirit also made of dodder vines?" Lin Nan had been wanting to ask this question ever since, because these vines looked so much like hers.

They were like older, evolved versions of her spirit form, except that they were greener in color, and some were a dried-out gray-brown. Their tiny mouthparts were spotted with spots, like colorful snakes.

Even though the queen had ordered them to be taken back, Lin Nan still saw some of them tirelessly hooking her calves, and some even got into her shoes and socks.

Even this cheeky look is similar.

Lin Nan watched silently and couldn't help but complain.

"These are not my spirits," the Queen said, "but they are beings with greater authority than I, for they have existed here since the White Tower was built."

"No one knows exactly who left these relics. Over the centuries, the roots of these plants have penetrated every corner of the White Tower. Even this throne is part of it."

A spiritual body that can cover the entire White Tower.

Lin Nan was horrified. What a gigantic monster that must be! The White Tower had 250 floors...

The vine wrapped around Lin Nan's ankle gently whipped her, and the small tip with a mouthparts seemed a little angry.

Still conscious?

Did it hear what she was thinking?
"It's incredible, isn't it?" the Queen continued. "They've remained active for such a long time. In today's spiritual system, everyone believes that plant-based spiritual bodies are the weakest. But they don't know that since ancient times, vegetation has been the origin of all life."

"They possess a long lifespan and are capable of recording all past civilizations. Especially when they reach a certain level, they can even break free from their host's body and survive independently. I believe this spirit must have been left behind in the same way..."

As the queen spoke, she slowly spread her arms, and her sleeves turned into countless glowing silver threads that fell down.

Lin Nan saw a magical scene.

The plants in the palace revealed their hidden underground appearance.

As the queen gently waved her fingers, the ground became transparent, and the terrifying structure below gradually revealed its true nature. Hundreds of millions of autonomic nerves were entangled into a huge brain structure, and countless intricate root systems, like a neural network, penetrated every inch of the white tower.

Lin Nan heard the sound of the heart beating again.

The big tree in her brain seemed to be infected as well, clamoring to break free from its restraints and want to connect with the huge neural network, but before her vines could reach out, the scene in front of her disappeared.

"You can indeed sense it." The Queen lowered her arms, stood quietly behind the scenes, and stared at her. "Not only is your spirit connected to it, it can also form a link with it. You are different..."

After the queen finished speaking, she seemed to be sighing and regretting something.

Her figure swayed slightly in the silver halo, like a candle in the wind.
